Car Sports and wild Card TV ever a shot. My

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:38,920
brother was going on man.

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 4: Ver much man locked into this first round of the playoffs.

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,560
We got a few knockouts and we got a few

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,600
series still going.

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,799
Speaker 1: Man, it's been a it's been it's been a shock

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,799
for a couple of teams. And we'll get into that

20
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,320
as we go along. Obviously, Okay, see in San Antonio

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,679
are the first and only two teams to advance as

22
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:04,319
we are recording now with the Lakers having the opportunity,

23
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,640
the magic, we're having the opportunity as we record, we'll

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,319
see as as as the night goes on. But uh so,

25
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:13,239
all right, so before we get into that. Let's talk

26
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:17,840
about the new, the new, the new, the new, the new.

27
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:24,879
They unveiled their anti taking proposal. It's not too bad,

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,879
all right, so let's uh, let's go. Let's walk through

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,319
it real quick. They call them it three to two

30
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:32,680
one lottery whatever whatever whoever came that that name, includes

31
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:37,920
sixteen teams, and then they will flatten the odds in

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,400
the relegation zone where the bottom three teams will be

33
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:43,480
penalized with fuel lottery balls for the number one pick

34
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:47,599
starting with the twenty twenty seven draft. How does it

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200
work is like the team's four through ten with the

36
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:54,799
worst records, they're gonna receive three lottery balls, and then

37
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:57,719
the bottom three teams will receive two lottery balls, and

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,319
then the ninth and tenth playing seeds. Would I think

39
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:05,159
the losers they will get one? Well, I think the

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,319
and and also the loser of the seven eight playing

41
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:09,560
games will get one larry ball each. So shout out

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,719
to the teams who barely make it have a chance

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,039
to win two. Also, you cannot you can no longer

44
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,000
protect twelve through fifteen. Uh, and you cannot have top

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,080
five pick three years in a row, which means the

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,199
San Antonino Spurds, who just who just had who just

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,240
won the series, would have not had Dylan Harper if

48
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,319
this rule existed today, because they had cat Winby at

49
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,840
first round pick Castle was a top five pick, and

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,719
then Harper was another top five pick. So I guess

51
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:44,240
your thoughts, man, is just a good idea. What do

52
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,639
you what do you think about? What do you think about?

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,879
This is a little proposal.

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 4: It's honestly not for me, but just in a general sense,

55
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:58,719
it's just too much information, you know, for a person

56
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,800
who wants to just kind of easily remember basic information,

57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,919
it's just too much information you got to think about,

58
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,759
all right, Well, the premise of it is to incentivize

59
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,960
teams not sitting people, but it's basically what they're trying

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,599
to do. But at the same time, it's just all right, well,

61
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,319
we can't be trashed again this year because we want

62
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:21,439
to get a top five pick.

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,199
Speaker 5: Like, it's just too much information.

64
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:26,719
Speaker 4: If you want to really resolve all this, just do

65
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,479
an NFL style draft, like let the worst team just

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,120
get whoever. Like, you know, I just think they're doing

67
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,919
they're doing too much to come back tanking. Yeah, it's

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,479
a problem, but to me, the NFL has mastered.

69
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,719
Speaker 5: Sports. You know, it's easy to make trades. It's easy

70
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:45,280
to cut.

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,479
Speaker 4: Somebody and move on, move money around. The NBA has

72
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:52,719
too many damn restrictions first April, second Apron, like you

73
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:55,240
can't do this, you can't do that. It's so all

74
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:57,719
this stuff leads to teams being in the.

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: Basement for too long.

76
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: So I think a good idea to try and see

77
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:06,599
how it works from bridge of the will change it again,

78
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,159
because every couple of years there's always an issue with

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,280
the lottery you're taking.

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 5: So they're just throwing more stuff at the walls. If

81
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:13,759
it's sticks.

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I get it because this kind of

83
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:20,839
how you build. Like so I guess like teams like

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,040
okay see got to avoid it because they only got

85
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,480
they traded for Shay Chap was the top a top

86
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,839
five pick, but jad was like a lot of the

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,319
pick like like number thirteen or something. So like you

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
you can you can still build a great team, like

89
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,759
get the young guys, like the Magic got a bunch

90
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,800
of guys that's you know, drafted number one, number four,

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,680
number eight, number ten, number fourteen. I still believe that

92
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,160
the best players and the best players in the league

93
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:51,160
are all a lottery picks for the most part, outside

94
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,040
of you know, a select few Yoki Brunston come to mind.

95
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:58,560
I mean, yeah, you gotta do something right because ten

96
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,720
teams tinking this year was kind of crazy. Uh, you know,

97
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:03,959
out of the out of the thirty and then obviously

98
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,439
you got team making the playoffs. So I think they

99
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,680
said this is the first time ever eight teams had lost,

100
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:14,040
like was it fifty plus games? Which is which is crazy?

101
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,600
We know which is crazy? Yeah, we'll see then, Like

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,319
I said, they just they're just throwing it at the wall.

103
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: Do you at least video point?

104
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,879
Speaker 4: Why the hell are y'all expanding the league when you

105
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,879
already have eight to ten teams already trash? Like, why

106
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:31,399
are you trying to Yeah, Vegas can use the team,

107
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,040
Yeah sel can use the team. But why are you

108
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:36,879
trying to expand the league when you already have a

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600
quarter of the league tanking and you're trying to combat

110
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,160
it like it's I don't I just don't get it, man.

111
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:47,079
I just feel like people are there's just money's hunting

112
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,399
that they see there's money toil you made by increasing

113
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,240
more teams. But then again, you have rules in place

114
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,920
like we want guys to play sixty five games. So

115
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,560
you're trying to come back. Guys sitting out, You're trying

116
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,000
to come back.

117
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,399
Speaker 5: It's like you're you're trying to do so much and

118
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:04,839
handle resolves anything.

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: About to say, yeah, you got a lot of restrictions. Basically,

120
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,240
if you're not the perfect it's kind of like a

121
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,399
what like you know, thom jobs that be having those

122
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:15,720
points systems, like you don't come to work. Hey, you

123
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,879
guys get suspended, then you're gonna getting written up. You're

124
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,680
gonna get a sitting hover through that. You know, it's

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,519
a lot of like perimeters. And if you're not a

126
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:27,600
perfect NBA player, you know, playing thirty plus minutes playing

127
00:06:27,639 --> 00:06:30,240
sixty five plus games, you're not gonna win no wars.

128
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,639
And if you're not, if you're not taking well, I

129
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,519
mean again, I think they're still gonna find ways to

130
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,639
tank because even if you are the bottom three team, right,

131
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,399
let's say you get picked number six or something. People

132
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,720
people fuck up all the time. What picked with Luca?

133
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,720
Like you know what I'm saying, like like what pick

134
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,319
was d book?

135
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:53,519
Speaker 3: Now?

136
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: So people people don't get the first pick right, so

137
00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:59,399
you can still get d booked this year and then

138
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:01,879
okay year we get you know, we'll get the number

139
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:04,160
one season. Now we get the Cat or the Womby

140
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,360
or the ant Man. So you you can still tall.

141
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:08,199
I mean, it's still gonna work itself out. I just

142
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:12,839
think you won't get the the mock draft top three

143
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:16,079
guys this year, right, I mean whatever. So I don't know.

144
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,279
Speaker 4: The ither think the NBA is doing too much, but

145
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,160
they're not holding people accountable. You know, you have all

146
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,120
these teams with these gyms, these scouts. If people are

147
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720
missing on picks, it needs to be on the owners

148
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:35,920
or whoever to start firing these people. Look DeAndre Ayden,

149
00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:39,160
good college season, he's been a double double since he

150
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:40,439
been in the league and stuff. For this year, he

151
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,360
was like fourteen eight this year. The Suns passed on

152
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:48,319
lucas their fault, I mean, and they still passed on Luca.

153
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,240
They still made a finals run, and then of course

154
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,000
they end up blowing the team up. They uh, you know,

155
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,399
they let they let money go. You trade for Durant

156
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:00,680
on your first round. It just kind of unraveled pretty quickly.

157
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,639
But at the same time, you had the first pick.

158
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,759
You could have took Luca or a Yuay that had

159
00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:09,639
a phenomena here this year that we were both fans of.

160
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,279
The Wizards drafted Deani, you didn't do anything with him.

161
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:17,959
Now he's an All Star. Yeah, I mean, you gotta

162
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,959
hold people accountable for these bad decisions.

163
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:20,839
Speaker 5: You gotta hold.

164
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:23,839
Speaker 4: People accountable for paying Brandy Buildings kind of money making

165
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,839
him untradeable.

166
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: That's how you get the.

167
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: Now.

168
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's how you get the you know,

169
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,720
that's that's how you get all these different parameters, all

170
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,399
these different rules. And yeah, I think now, and we'll

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,240
see what they vote on. But now it's like, I

172
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,879
don't I don't even know necessarily believe that people was taking.

173
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,639
I think that I think you take based off draft class, right,

174
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,240
and this draft class is anticipated to be one of

175
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,440
the best we've ever seen quote unquote because you got

176
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:58,559
a couple of veterans, you know, a couple of international players,

177
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,200
but you got all these freshmens that's coming out of here.

178
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:02,320
It's like six, seven of them, eight of them, nine

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,639
of them. That's can be a you know, a good

180
00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:08,960
up to a franchise. So I don't know, I think

181
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,679
it does help you. It does reward teams like Miami Heat, right,

182
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:15,679
and maybe maybe Pat Rowley is one of the biggest

183
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,399
guys because he can never get no better. Because if

184
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:20,039
you're not going to drafts, if you're not gonna make

185
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,799
the playoffs or be the you know, the playing team,

186
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:25,000
and you're not going to draft the top five player

187
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:28,360
every year. I mean you you gotta hope the Homy

188
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,720
Hot Quiz pop up to be a star. You gotta

189
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,960
hope the clear where that's a middle round pick become

190
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,639
a star. Like you gotta hope these guys paying out.

191
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:37,919
You think about it, you got they got bam ad pick.

192
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,240
I want to say he was a team pick and

193
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,200
so Herold like pick number twenty, so like you got

194
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:47,080
lucky even then like so so you know, so you

195
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,519
for the teams that Miami Heat, this helped them get

196
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,159
a chance that hey we might can be a one

197
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,919
pick and make the playoffs, you know what I mean.

198
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,600
So I think that's that's the only thing I do

199
00:09:56,759 --> 00:09:58,919
like about it. For the teams that actually do try

200
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,960
and just not not not good because the whole the

201
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,639
whole sitting down thing is is is ass right, that's

202
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,960
not a or like it's funny we talked about in

203
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,360
a minute. It's funny how the Magic over here losing

204
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,240
to Boston beat G League team what it called the

205
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,200
Red Clause or something, and now hindsight twenty twenty, that

206
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:22,000
ain't a good position to maybe get out of the

207
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,919
first round versus having played in New York first round

208
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,519
and who knows how that series go right. So it's

209
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,240
just it's just a I don't know, man. I think.

210
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,960
I think you can look at the Jazz, look at

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,720
the Nets and see that they're not trying. But then

212
00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:37,200
you look at the Pistons and the Magic, who we

213
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,559
will talk about, and the Spurs. They were down but

214
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,799
now they're up. So but you but you only got

215
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,759
up because you was ass So I wonder how do

216
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:48,720
you how do you build now if you can't get

217
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,720
weinby Castle and Harper back to back.

218
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 5: And truthfully, man, there are some teams I feel somewhat

219
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,080
bad for, and like Nettar team or that, to me,

220
00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:03,399
that's a team I feel bad for.

221
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 4: The next they had Kenny Atkinson, they had like Dangel Russell,

222
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,600
some other guys. They went on for what they were

223
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:14,320
at the time, a decent little five hundred season, made

224
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,159
the playoffs eight ceed I think they took a game.

225
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: Against Philly, then they got knocked out. They were able to.

226
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:24,039
Speaker 4: Turn that little season, that team into Kevin Durant, Kyrie

227
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:29,200
and James Harden, and they probably would still have those

228
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,679
guys or have kept them longer and.

229
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,399
Speaker 5: Maybe made at East Finals, maybe won a championship.

230
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:37,399
Speaker 4: But of course the whole world, not just basketball, was

231
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,799
impacted by COVID that iunpacked the Kyrie, you know, then

232
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:46,080
pacted how the next season, unrebeled the owner, you know,

233
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,080
all the stuff with Kyrie, posting, the books, like just

234
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,440
a lot of things played a role that probably wouldn't

235
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,200
have played a role if the pandemic didn't happen. So

236
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,360
like the net Star team, where it was, it went

237
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,080
right for like like nine months, and then it unraveled

238
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,639
quickly once you know, are hard.

239
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:07,799
Speaker 5: Once out, you gotta get Kyrie out.

240
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 4: You're stuck with Durant because he signed his extension for

241
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,360
no reason, and then you shift him out and now

242
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,440
you're back to the bottom of the basement again. But

243
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:19,440
it was going right for you, I mean, you were

244
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,559
lucky to have what you had. But once it's unraveled,

245
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,240
it's gonna be hard to replicate it again. Now you're

246
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,399
just drafting five years in the first round.

247
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: Can we can we discuss now with all the trading

248
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,039
with the Kevin Ck, Kyrie and Harden, you had to

249
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,639
give up picks, right we all agree to.

250
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:37,279
Speaker 2: That right.

251
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: Now. With that being said, I'm just I'm just gonna

252
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,679
talk about the picks they had in the last few

253
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,240
seasons and tell me, tell me what they were supposed

254
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:47,639
to do. Now, I'm just gonna talk about their pick,

255
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,519
not not uh with somewhere else that they drafted. So

256
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,919
twenty twenty one they draft Cam Tomas a big twenty seven.

257
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,159
Twenty twenty three they picked Noah Clowney picked twenty one,

258
00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,919
and uh uh Derry Whitehead, I don't think he on

259
00:12:59,919 --> 00:13:02,120
the he no more at pick twenty two. Then this

260
00:13:02,159 --> 00:13:04,840
past season they drafted four people at pick eight Igor

261
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,679
who had a pretty good season, nineteen Nolan Trail from France,

262
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:11,960
twenty six Benser Off and then twenty seven Danny Wolf.

263
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,919
I just told you, outside of lotry picks, it's very

264
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,480
rare for a star they taking and still not getting

265
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,879
rard with it. So like they like Eagle picked them

266
00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:24,480
a eight, Like come on, man, that's just like I

267
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,840
don't think I think I think if you get, you get,

268
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:28,440
you gotta get lucky, right, you have to get lucky

269
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,159
to get the one seed and get with me. You

270
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,720
have to get eight man because you could get you know,

271
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:36,679
I don't know, not saying not saying he don't belong

272
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:39,240
or you could get zachly riach out Shay like you

273
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,279
you talk about people who made mistakes and hold accountable.

274
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:44,639
How good would the hog be right now they had

275
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,759
Alex Sarr instead in this series against the Knicks. I'm

276
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:49,279
just saying, you know what I'm saying, like they have

277
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000
a better shot or you you got castle that draft.

278
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,320
So teams make mistakes, bro, and I think lottery tanking

279
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,679
or not, they still gonna make mistakes.

280
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I think you got to hold people accountable.

281
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: You know, when we're clapping our hands for Sam Pristy,

282
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,120
it's because he's doing a good job. But now we're

283
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:14,159
trying to protect people from doing a bad job by

284
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,559
like saying, hey, you can't tank.

285
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,919
Speaker 5: I mean they're to them. That's the only to get good.

286
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:25,399
Speaker 4: Because the NBA doesn't give you any quick fixed methods.

287
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:28,519
Speaker 5: That's the tough thing about it. The NFL, you can

288
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:30,039
trade your star, wipe.

289
00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:32,799
Speaker 4: Out their money from the salary cap, bottom out, get

290
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:34,919
a top five, top ten pick, feel a need or two,

291
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:38,360
and you can go from worse to first within one

292
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,039
within one off season, you can get a couple of picks,

293
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:44,039
trade away somebody high you know, on a bad contract,

294
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840
cuts on a bad contract, eat the costs, or move

295
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:49,039
costs down the line, like the thanks for doing the

296
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,759
NFL is gives you more options to be good. That's

297
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:56,120
why every year everybody feels like their team has a chance.

298
00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,919
I saw him, even like three or four teams. Everybody

299
00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,399
feels like we might peak for the division. We might

300
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,000
win eight, nine, ten games, or something goes this way,

301
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:07,080
we can have this kind of season versus the NBA.

302
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,039
Speaker 5: You know who's.

303
00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:13,159
Speaker 4: Gonna be trash two years from now, Like the Nets

304
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,799
are showing no signs of being good.

305
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 5: They have two or three years from now, they're not

306
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,399
gonna be good.

307
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, even the Jazz may still be bad in

308
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:24,720
two year less they get an aj de Bands or

309
00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,039
something like that. The Jazz will still be bad in

310
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,320
two or three years. You can already see the rank

311
00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:29,840
on the wall.

312
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Because you got you gotta do someone, Laurie. You gotta

313
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,840
pay pay or not for Walkert, Kessler eventually got paid.

314
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,679
What's my point guard, County, George. You you make decisions.

315
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,039
You always got me a decision. That's the bad thing

316
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600
about it. If you don't capitalize quickly, then it's gonna

317
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,519
be a problem. So I'm a I'm a believer that, Yeah,

318
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:53,000
how long.

319
00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 5: The bulls being up and down? Mainly and mainly down?

320
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,279
Speaker 4: Like the bulls are in a big market, but they're

321
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,840
basically I say, once you's got to Milwaukee and salute

322
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,519
trainer Jean because I hope you do a great job.

323
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: But once John is out of Milwaukee, come on, bro,

324
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,000
what once John is out of Memphis?

325
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,919
Speaker 1: Come on about said you're you're know my fixed I've

326
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,039
been saying. I'm still gonna keep saying, John to Chicago

327
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,759
because La is back, New York back, the Texas teams

328
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,399
are back, and then what's the other big market I'm

329
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:22,879
I'm missing.

330
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: It's really La New York, Chicago State.

331
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so go to the area and then the Texas teams.

332
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,759
That's really your Chicago, the last one we need, I

333
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:37,799
mean Wars, I mean obviously got step Curry and they're

334
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:39,840
not as good to me right now. But hey, we

335
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:42,240
gotta yeah, and they over here find that they got

336
00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:48,600
everybody fire right gm UH President basketball coach Bill dobvand

337
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,080
got stepped down. So hey, you again hold people accountable

338
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,799
and we don't have to tank. But like I said,

339
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,600
like you said, it's only it was only one way

340
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:01,159
to win, getting getting them one pick Wolf the Wolves

341
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,559
cat and man, you're able to flip calf of ruin

342
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,079
random you madewo West confers finals in a row, but

343
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,559
before that you was a laughing stop magic. There they're

344
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:12,880
in year three of winning Pissons. Two years ago they

345
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,240
lost what thirty games in a row. But guess what

346
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:18,319
they got them, Assur Thompson. They got them from Jayleen Durant.

347
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:20,400
They got them kid cut in him. So it worked.

348
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:25,000
It worked, you know, So I got you gotta find

349
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:26,559
a new way of tank, and they will find a

350
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:27,880
new wad tank, trust me.

351
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 4: The one thing about the NBA, when certain markets are winning,

352
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,200
basketball is better. I mean, Detroit's a good basketball market.

353
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,000
They're good at Boston right now. New York like the

354
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,880
nick went through their spells, the Pistons they went through

355
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,079
their spell. Now there they've been rejuvenated. Of course, when

356
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:50,440
the Lakers are good. Golden statement still current. You got

357
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,680
Boss Office, Superstar. There are just certain markets. I mean,

358
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,640
like you said, the Spurs are back. The Man's at

359
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,880
least have Cooper flat, so they should be somewhat pro

360
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,039
it in the years to come. But yeah, when certain

361
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,480
markets are are good, it just makes the NBA a

362
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:06,680
more exciting product.

363
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: But yeah, this this tanging thing, it won't go away.

364
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 4: I mean every few years it gets revisited, it gets revamped,

365
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,839
and it hasn't been resolved yet.

366
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 5: So what makes these guys think this is gonna make

367
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,359
you go away? It's not.

368
00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: And besides, we already we already know they do conspiracy theory.

369
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:25,359
Think about it, all of a sudden, All of a sudden,

370
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,880
the mim he got a chance to get the more pick. Hey,

371
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,880
it may not fool of me, resad, I know what

372
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,440
they're doing. Wars are walking warriors cooks right now, how

373
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:37,680
you'll get how you'll get him? Good? Oh y'all, y'all

374
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:40,000
was a playing team. Now you got a chance to

375
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,440
be the one pick, and you gonna get to you.

376
00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:45,119
I understand. It's it's a little I guess because to

377
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,200
add the playing teams kind of crazy to me, but

378
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:49,519
I don't know about that far. That's that's a little

379
00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:49,880
too far.

380
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:54,279
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, if you're gonna go a conspiracy

381
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:58,839
theory around, the best things would be for going in

382
00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:01,440
a state they get a top or at least in

383
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,599
the top three or four, so they can extend courage

384
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,799
because it looks like the Warriors are basically packing it up. Uh,

385
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,720
maybe Dallas can get a top two or three pick.

386
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:14,559
You can put somebody else with flag and now you're

387
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:17,279
I don't think they will trade anybody else. You'll be

388
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,640
set with a flag and somebody. So if you can

389
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,839
get one of those two teams with you know, if

390
00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:26,240
you're ringing a lottery, you know, that'll be pretty good.

391
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, or Portland Portland Chicago are the teams

392
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,680
are interested in a rumor to get Jannis, right, so

393
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,559
you gotta have something to trade. Hey, no one pick

394
00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:41,480
would be lovely. I'm just saying, you know what saying,

395
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:44,119
Just just throw it out there. But let's move on

396
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,480
to the playoffs teams, all right. So I'm going to

397
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,759
ask you this because this is kind of more more surprising.

398
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:56,480
Your kids being slowed down by go beart and the

399
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:58,359
reason why they're in while they were in the three

400
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,359
one hole now three two hole, or that the Magic,

401
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,960
who was kind of underseated based onf Vegas osen for

402
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,359
the season and our our prediction was up, had had

403
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Detroit in the three to one hole, as Detroit currently

404
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,720
is up ten points to go into the fourth quarter.

405
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:21,880
What's more surprising to you, Well, I think.

406
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 5: Just already tired from the regular season.

407
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,759
Speaker 4: This has been a grind, so I'm not surprised he's

408
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,359
somewhat struggling. I mean, it's been a tough year for him.

409
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,000
He still had a phenomenal year. And then those are

410
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:38,160
the numbers, so I'm not really I mean, guys just

411
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,079
getting tired. I think he's just tired. You know, they've

412
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,319
done some crazy runs. They were fighting just to get

413
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720
to the three spots, So I really, I really can't

414
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:46,319
say that.

415
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 5: I thought the Pistons Magic Series.

416
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 4: Would be a little more even doubt but uh, and

417
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,839
of course people thought the Pistons were old woman favorite.

418
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,519
Speaker 5: But I'm happiness to what the Magic are doing. They're

419
00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:00,359
basic League.

420
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: If this was the n C double equivalent, they're just

421
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,400
basically underseeded Polo. Other guys were banged up all year,

422
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,640
so they had to get into the play in to

423
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,200
get where.

424
00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 5: They are now. And uh, yeah, Bang has had some

425
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:12,799
great games.

426
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: Well I would say great, he's he's had some really

427
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,319
good games. Polo has been up and down, but they've

428
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:22,240
gotten the job done. Whendell Carter's playing, uh pretty good.

429
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,559
So they just had everything clicking. And the Pistons right

430
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:28,960
now just look like a solid regular season team.

431
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:32,559
Speaker 5: You have k but you don't have a solidified second.

432
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,759
Speaker 4: Guy during hasn't been great this series and everybody this

433
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,079
has kind of just been up and down. So uh,

434
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,200
probably you got to say, just based upon regular season,

435
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,960
you gotta go with the Magic.

436
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. And I don't know who's gonna win

437
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,440
this series, whether it's Pistons or Magic. But all right,

438
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,519
so let's just say we know that Pistons are not

439
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,000
a championship team in terms of if you can't handle

440
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:58,079
the Magic physicality, what's gonna happen when you had to

441
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,160
play you know, the know who's the best defense in

442
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,960
the league, or you got to play the best defender

443
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,319
in the galaxy in winby Right, So what what is

444
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:11,680
the next move for Detroit? Because you know, we we

445
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:15,079
we've heard the k D rumors. We heard the you

446
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,640
know Repelicans get rid of trade Murphy. You know that

447
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,079
that that other the other type of score that would

448
00:22:21,079 --> 00:22:24,160
take pressure off of K cunning him. Is there is

449
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,799
there any potential move because like right now, you try

450
00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:31,160
to say, like who's your core during who's having a

451
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,839
terrible playoff series? Right now? K cunning him and and

452
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Swra Thompson, that's your core. You can't you're not gonna

453
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,400
trade them. How are you going to get whoever the

454
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,279
you know to come to come in and help this

455
00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:45,599
team to the next next level.

456
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,519
Speaker 5: We just talked about it. Bro.

457
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:53,559
Speaker 4: It's too hard to make teams be good because the

458
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,160
idea is, well, case the point guard, he can do

459
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,079
a lot of stuff, go and get him a solid

460
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:01,759
score so they can have a one two punch. Okay,

461
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:04,680
so your solution is go get kd Now you gotta

462
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:07,039
trade stuff. You're gonna have to break your team up

463
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,799
to go get him. They don't really have any contracts

464
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,680
because of how the NBA does trade, they don't really

465
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:20,720
have the pieces to trade for Durant. So how do

466
00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:23,599
you improve this team? You gotta just make moves around

467
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,359
the fringes. And at that point, you're gonna miss your window,

468
00:23:26,799 --> 00:23:30,759
which you probably already have anyway, because Kate is paid. Uh,

469
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,759
Juror's gonna get paid, but I'm not sure this playoffs

470
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:36,039
is costing him any money.

471
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: But the NBA doesn't.

472
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: Do he got talking about it.

473
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 4: It's not like it's the NFL where you can say, hey, uh,

474
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,039
it's gonna be two hundred million, one fifty guaranteed, fifty sentence.

475
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,400
The NBA just does a you made all the NBA.

476
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,759
You made this you it's all fully guaranteed. They're not

477
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:54,680
doing they have some guys do that. But it's not

478
00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:57,759
like you're gonna play around with the top three player

479
00:23:57,799 --> 00:23:58,400
on your team.

480
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a fully guarante deal.

481
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: You know, you have desionist who have like doing Salles

482
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,759
built team, but During has been healthy, probably gonna make

483
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:07,279
all NBA.

484
00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 5: You're not gonna play with his money.

485
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it though, because hey, and lets

486
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:20,240
unless Jalen during is Rudy Gobar esque Bill Wallace esk

487
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,799
where you just over overwhelmling just like dominate a side

488
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:27,519
of the ball. This this playoff series is very alarming

489
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:30,559
in terms of what, like how did this man have

490
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:35,480
what I think over thirty games of thirty plus points.

491
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:39,799
I'm trying to figure out how you do it? How

492
00:24:39,839 --> 00:24:41,359
did he do it? This is just because you just

493
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,960
a man child and you bully everybody, and now you're

494
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,960
playing a team you can't bully, so it looks bad

495
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,319
or you know, and that could be the case, right,

496
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:51,279
that could always be the case. You just it's just

497
00:24:51,319 --> 00:24:54,039
a bad matchup. But we're gonna talk about during You're

498
00:24:54,079 --> 00:24:55,720
gonna have to stay. We're gonna we're gonna need something

499
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,480
else in the in the development playing here. And so

500
00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:00,480
we're talking too, because you just mentioned you can't break

501
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,519
the team up. So I think the Pistons are a

502
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:06,000
funny team just to see what happens with them if

503
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,920
they can come back down for three one devashit because

504
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,920
I think they said, what the one even down three

505
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,160
to one?

506
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 5: What man I hold the Magic? I mean, I know

507
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,559
it was like twenty some years ago.

508
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,279
Speaker 4: Man Man, a teammate was on the Magic team when

509
00:25:23,319 --> 00:25:27,880
they were up. Well, what happened was that was the

510
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,759
year they expanded the first round series.

511
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 5: From five games or seven games.

512
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,839
Speaker 4: Team mat was up three to one on the one

513
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:39,680
seed Pistons, but they lost a course game seven, So hey, man,

514
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,319
I hold the magic, can beat the Pistons just for

515
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,519
t mat he ain't out there, but a shintout mad man.

516
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,799
Speaker 1: Man Pissons came back because that was did that? Did

517
00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:52,440
that start the string of no no, they ain't started saying?

518
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,599
Maybe a couple years later, that started the streak of

519
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:56,640
the Pistons making the conference finals like five years in

520
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,720
a row with some crazy.

521
00:25:57,559 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 5: You know they they made like six years in a row.

522
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,960
They made from pistol pistols.

523
00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:05,319
Speaker 1: Good basketball, man. I'm glad that, Like you said, I'm

524
00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:08,599
glad they back finally winning. To touch on that Nuggets game,

525
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,599
there's three to two, I'm gonna go. I don't know

526
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,480
if it's going on a lemni because a man, it's hurt,

527
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,960
but Nuggets gonna win the series. I don't know if

528
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,680
they could win games.

529
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 6: Hey yo, hey, hey yo hey, but see that's if

530
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,920
he's gonna I mean, because all right, so the last game,

531
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,480
Game five, Julius.

532
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: Rando twenty seven, ten and six, great game. Rudy Gobert

533
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,039
two and seven not gonna cut it, ao, Instead of

534
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:41,079
forty three, he had eighteen, Like, I don't know, where's

535
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,039
that superstar gonna come from like because a superstar performance

536
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,920
was had by Ayo dis album right in that game. So, Bro,

537
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,920
I don't know, man, I don't. I don't. I don't

538
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,880
know unless you tell me that the crowd of game

539
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,599
six Timberwolves is enough to there's gonna beat the Nuggets

540
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,720
because all Nuggets need is somebody a third person to

541
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:04,880
score and just enough and they win the game. Whoever

542
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:05,559
that third person is.

543
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, And in one game, you basically lost forty points

544
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:14,920
with the with the ceiling to go to fifty because

545
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,599
I think average twenty eight this year, he was one

546
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,799
of the top guys in scoring, and he has the

547
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:25,720
ability to go get you thirty five or forty alone.

548
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,200
But just on their season average, I think he was

549
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,359
around twenty eight. Devichenzos around twelve, but he has the

550
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,240
ability to heat up for fifteen or eighteen from from

551
00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:37,799
three point line. So you just lost at minimum from

552
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:41,240
forty points with the potential of like fifty maybe and

553
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:42,480
sixty on any given night.

554
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 5: So that's hard to make up.

555
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: But I do think the Wolves are good enough with

556
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,880
if you can get Gobert a solid game, Ramdao Desumo, McDaniels,

557
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,799
nas Red, you still got Mike Conley, like his veteran presence.

558
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,039
I think they're still good enough to get one out

559
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:04,400
of these last two games. But if it goes seven,

560
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:07,400
I will pick Denver. But I do think the Wolves

561
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,599
have enough to get one.

562
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: Out of two.

563
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: Hey, just so you know, it has to be six though.

564
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 5: They got to get in six.

565
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: So you look at us, Look at us. This why,

566
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:19,440
this is why I'm doing it. Look at the scheduling.

567
00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:23,559
They get them boys two days. They gave Yokis two

568
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,400
days to relax and rest. Oh my god, Like I'm like,

569
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,799
all right, so let this last game real quick. Just

570
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:32,920
looking at it. So bones Holling at fifteen and Shannon

571
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,400
had fifteen. That's thirty points there. Najri had been disappointment

572
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,839
this season, twelve and eight, uh Mdamsey had thirteen, ran

573
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,720
up twenty seven, nine and six, notine ten and six,

574
00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:47,440
and Al had eighteen points the Nuggets. The Nuggets got

575
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,039
twenty from Spencer Jones, who took the spot of Aaron Gordon,

576
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:52,680
who he might not play. He might have played either

577
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,880
this year, this this this series. But I'm asking you this,

578
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,400
what do you think? What do you think? Well, I

579
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,920
guess the question is how much is just really gonna

580
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,799
matter anyway about who wins because the two on was

581
00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:09,039
gonna have a man they wipe down and Nuggets. I

582
00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:11,279
know Nuggets played the I know they played the Spur

583
00:29:11,359 --> 00:29:14,799
as well. I just this this week, you you talked

584
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,039
about this CBA. The CBA, it is cooking the Nuggets

585
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:20,440
the most out of everybody because they had they had

586
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,519
a deep team. You had a trade Michael Porter jr.

587
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,240
Uh And now you have to rely on three guys

588
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:28,519
and hope that the guys you you draft do well.

589
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:33,000
Peyton Watson is just injured prone this season. But I

590
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:35,680
do want to shout this out. Shout out to the

591
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,519
coach for finally playing Tias Jones and Vlissa Units. Damn

592
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,160
Jamal Murray Yo got to play forty eight minutes. Bro,

593
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,640
they don't have to. I thought the whole point, man, Bro.

594
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,680
I thought the whole point again, Valissa Units was to

595
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,359
spare the kind of have a resemblance of a yoks

596
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,880
offense when he's out the game. That's what I thought.

597
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,519
I know he's not Yokis, but Antia Jones a port

598
00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:00,240
who can't run the pick a roll that this is

599
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,039
not the same too, Like it's a lesser version, of course,

600
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:05,200
but they can spare you ten minutes, and look what

601
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,079
happened when they played minutes, they produced a little bit.

602
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,799
So maybe he found something in that lineup. But I

603
00:30:09,799 --> 00:30:12,000
thought that was kind of crazy that he didn't do

604
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:14,480
this earlier, because they neither want them LaGG in any minutes.

605
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,359
In the April in the game game.

606
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,839
Speaker 4: Four, shout out Mike Malone, man, because Mike Malone knew

607
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:29,279
how to manage rotations, and the Denver coach. Now, there

608
00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:31,519
are some times where you're just like, man, you are

609
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,039
really draining the guys or what are you doing with

610
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:37,519
these rotations? But some of that stuff just kind of

611
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:39,680
comes with experience and stuff like that.

612
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:41,359
Speaker 5: So don't want to knock him too much.

613
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,319
Speaker 4: But I guess he's working on figuring out, you know,

614
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,839
adjustments and things like that. But as of right now,

615
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:50,119
just go ahead and take a sharpie put.

616
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 5: Okay, see put Spurs West Finals?

617
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, because yeah, all right, So the last

618
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,799
morning before we get out of here, I want to

619
00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:03,240
bring up and I don't know me, I don't know

620
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,799
if me and you had this beef. Maybe we didn't,

621
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:09,160
but I remember I was saying, like, remember, we were

622
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,440
talking about how like how Jokic had that assentsion because

623
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:16,799
he would they realized his greatness. They gave him the minutes,

624
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:20,880
got Nurkice out the way, boom Star, Jaylen Brown, Maxi,

625
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:24,680
Kobe Bryant, like Adie Jones and Kobe Brown Way. Remember

626
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,680
were talking about Evan Mobley and what his potential could

627
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,319
be and he was already playing thirty minutes as a rookie.

628
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:32,400
And then he was like, all right, at some point

629
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
he gonna take the step. Now. I don't want to

630
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,720
talk about Game five because it's currently going live. But

631
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:41,119
he's not playing good in Game five that he don't play,

632
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,119
He don't have had one good game.

633
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: What is it a losing right now?

634
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,759
Speaker 4: Is eighty nine eighty in the third quarter, with seven

635
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,079
minutes to go into third the Caves are losing. They've

636
00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:52,400
they've lost to in a row. They had a chance

637
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,359
to really you know, go with three to one. They

638
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,079
get a wipe down. So the Cows they lose three

639
00:31:59,119 --> 00:31:59,599
heads in a row.

640
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,039
Speaker 1: There trouble and this is this is this is a

641
00:32:02,079 --> 00:32:05,279
problem I'm having because the whole point again James Harden,

642
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,039
is for him to be the third best player. Bro

643
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,160
it don't. The Calves do not win it. Evan Mobley

644
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,240
don't become the guy and he has not shown it,

645
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,160
and I don't I don't know if he will. I

646
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,599
don't know if you will. But after this season if

647
00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:22,480
they lose in round one, because now let's say, if

648
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,359
you do lose Game five, you go back to Toronto

649
00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:30,480
and you lose that, what do you what do you do?

650
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:34,000
What do you have to do? Like you got man,

651
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,279
you got harder for what? If you're not, you're not

652
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,400
gonna score thirty harder for what? And Mobile can't be

653
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:44,079
this KG that they swear he gonna be. I don't know, man,

654
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,720
I'm just going to thinking I was like many mob

655
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:54,279
every Mobile, Jerry Allen, two disappointments.

656
00:32:51,519 --> 00:32:52,519
Speaker 5: Lose this.

657
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say this game game, they're gonna problem the series.

658
00:32:56,319 --> 00:33:00,279
If Calves go out the first round, Yeah, want to

659
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:03,960
team up. They're blowing it up. I mean, I don't think.

660
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:06,200
I don't think Harden comes back. He's on the expiring

661
00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:09,480
so I don't think Harden comes back. Mitchell may Or

662
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:13,480
may not actually be traded. You may move on from Garland,

663
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,319
not Garland, Mobley or Allen.

664
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: So because they don't.

665
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: It don't work and Cams go out, coach will be fine.

666
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:21,400
I mean, coaching is fine.

667
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,359
Speaker 4: But if the Cavs go out first round, they're probably

668
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,119
gonna make some some drastic roster moves.

669
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so I was so happy of this.

670
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:32,400
But you can't play Allen and Mobile together. You can't

671
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,079
play small because you already got Mitchell who what six

672
00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:38,440
foot you already got. I mean, like I said, Harden

673
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:40,519
is hard and is old as Yes, I don't really

674
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:44,359
kind of a part of the future, but the whole

675
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,359
Merrill and Wade and Strus. You got the shooters, but

676
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,960
it doesn't work if your best players don't play well.

677
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,200
Pistons were down three one, they should win game five?

678
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,680
Uh they It don't work if your best player, sorry

679
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,640
is hell, it just don't. It don't work. Jialen during

680
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,319
can't be what he was in the season. It don't work.

681
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,599
Will he be able to see it don't work? So

682
00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:07,640
I don't know. And on top of that, we talked

683
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,119
about the Raptors Cass game. Brendan Ingram got hurt in

684
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:11,760
the game and he he only play leven minutes and

685
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,440
you still losing, And it's no.

686
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 4: Quickly right, Now the Pistons are up eight on the

687
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,440
Magic in the fourth quarter and the Calves are down

688
00:34:19,519 --> 00:34:24,760
to the six gods the Raptors round.

689
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,039
Speaker 1: That's probably our biggest miss. That's probably he shoutout, Scott.

690
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,199
I'm a I'm a Scotty I'm a Scotty Bars fan

691
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,119
bro and I'm an Augie Beer fan because I didn't

692
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:36,320
know what the hell they was doing when they had

693
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,199
all these wings. But it works. They switched everything they drafted,

694
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,159
uh little Draymond Green Jr. It worked. It's working. I

695
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:46,599
don't know what the Raptors need to do to make

696
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:49,960
that that one more step. Because you think Scotty Bars

697
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:53,760
has that ability like.

698
00:34:54,119 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 4: As like top five, top seven game changing player. I

699
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,440
don't know about that, but he's gonna he definitely one

700
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,320
of the top fifteen yards in the game.

701
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,639
Speaker 5: But like to me, when you're.

702
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,039
Speaker 4: Talking about the next level, that's that's the Jokisch winby

703
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:09,840
Shade Luca at Man type love.

704
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 5: I don't think Scotty true a double three A.

705
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,679
Speaker 4: He plays defense, But I wonder about we're talking about

706
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,039
sending to like an averaging twenty five, eight and eight

707
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:21,000
like Lebron type thing.

708
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,079
Speaker 5: I don't know Scotty got that.

709
00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that that. I'm just glad that I

710
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,079
started lining up. Can remember how bad I rhyth them

711
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,159
Ingram twenty plus million quickly twenty plus million, or the

712
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,000
twenty plus million or scott a twenty plus and your

713
00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:37,119
Yakapodle who don't even play that much twenty plus million.

714
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,719
So you had to win it with this roster. Shout

715
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,960
shout out to down Dino over there, to coach Man,

716
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,079
because I at first they didn't look good. But if

717
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:48,440
they're they wouldn't they If they do win this series,

718
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:51,400
they get pistons of magic who don't have the ability

719
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,199
to score a lot of points, It's a possibility day

720
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,440
the Conference finals, and that'd be crazy. The Hey, the

721
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,280
six is gonna be up this summer for riff real.

722
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 4: Whoever come out of I said when we did our

723
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,079
playoff preview, Raptors were casts. Whoever comes out of that

724
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,960
is going to the East Finals. They can they can

725
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,840
take magic or pistons. Uh, It's just gonna be a

726
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,039
matter of who wins. I think Calves or Raptors are

727
00:36:13,119 --> 00:36:16,239
capable of even the way Boston plays.

728
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 5: If you get them, you can beat them. Going to

729
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,920
do a shoot threes. If they're going good, they're not,

730
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:22,880
you can beat them Toronto they did last year.

731
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Toronto, and switch everything so that they can. I

732
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,199
think they can match you will. Yeah, it's the East

733
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,800
is gonna be the East gonna I mean, I still

734
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,039
I'm still rover with Boston, but hey, that's because I'm

735
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:37,400
taking the two best players. Really say shout out m

736
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,679
by Emmy tried to steal the show Man. But we'll

737
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,960
see if they can survive in game six. Back in Philly,

738
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,280
I went to that game. Game four. It was not pretty.

739
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 5: It was not Yeah, there was there was a white dad.

740
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,480
Still we still got hawts niggas going on. Let's the

741
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:52,960
Hawks can extend it out one more.

742
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:56,199
Speaker 4: Uh to game seven because c J he was going

743
00:36:56,199 --> 00:36:57,360
crazy the first couple of games.

744
00:36:57,599 --> 00:36:58,199
Speaker 5: He was terrible.

745
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: Game five, man two four points that I'm crazy anyway,

746
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,480
all right, man, we'll be back next week with the show. Uh. Hey,

Speaker 1: Man, you gotta gotta get it out on paper. Man,

754
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,239
we did good last year. Uh, we'll see if we can.

755
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,400
We can see we do it again. We got to

756
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,079
expanded teams now, so it's little. It might be a

757
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:31,599
little harder to predict. A little bit tea slow slowed

758
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,760
down all right, man, appreciate preacher. We shut we out.

759
00:37:38,679 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 2: H
