00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I went the whole holiday break without having any Hurtado,

5
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.400

00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>was in it. I'm dialed in on the trans Perfect

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Music City Bowl because I've been waiting for this Iowa

27
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Missouri matchup all day long. I care a lot about

28
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>teams that aren't in the playoffs. Yeah, scenario the.

29
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 2>Pop Tart Bowl though.

30
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 1>You know the bit there though, right, Yeah, at the

31
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>end they killed the pop tart right, Yeah, and he

32
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>pops out. Well, this is pretty great because last year, Yeah,

33
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>he had a He's standing on top of the toaster

34
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>and he's holding up a sign that says dreams really

35
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>do come true. And then he jumps in the toaster

36
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>and crank He gets cranked out, and the players come

37
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>over and just start eating him.

38
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Well that that's so bizarre, dude, It's.

39
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>So crazy, And honestly it made this the most popular

40
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Bowl game. Yeah, non playoff because it's Stupidty who was

41
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>in it this year? Miami and I will stay. Oh

42
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>what a matchup it was. It was actually a pretty

43
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 1>good game. I didn't watch it or anything, but I,

44
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, always was pretty tune into the highlights. Well,

45
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter. They've got so they've got three pop tarts.

46
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:20.719
<v Speaker 1>You get the cinnamon one, wild berry.

47
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I think they had vanilla milkshake, which I'd never seen.

48
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>They're not common pop tarts. They're not the common They

49
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>went with the wild ones this year. They did the

50
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>they did last year. They did, you know, the basic one.

51
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>What's your favorite pop dart? I mean, it really depends

52
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>on kind of mood i'm in. It's really hard to say.

53
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, the cherry I always liked. I know,

54
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 1>strawberry is a favorite of many. Cinnamon, sugar is amazing.

55
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Grape dude, grape chocolate, wild berry is more really good.

56
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Now themores are good?

57
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean it's good now? Did it have

58
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a run where it wasn't so good? But it's like

59
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>coming back in a big way, you know how like

60
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 1>you when you try to as you get older, you

61
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>can't eat as bad as you used to. Everything that's

62
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>sweet is like even better when you get older. True,

63
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 1>you can't have it often. Do you always toasted? Or

64
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>will you eat it just right out the m Yeah,

65
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>right off the package.

66
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Of the package? Yeah? So good.

67
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But so during the first quarter, like an end

68
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>stadium break or whatever. They have this big ritual and

69
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 1>an rip video to last year's pop Tart okay, and

70
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>they play some music like what's that song That's been

71
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 1>a long day?

72
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>No no, see you again?

73
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 3>The ending of Fast seven.

74
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>So and then he can help us with that with

75
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 1>some of that gen Z stuff. Yeah, he resurrects and

76
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>he's like Michael Jackson at the nineteen ninety Super Bowl

77
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.319
<v Speaker 1>or hell, like Jesus like that at the beginning of

78
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the New Testament of.

79
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>The stadium and they're having fireworks.

80
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 1>But at the end it was a Simon roll pop Tart,

81
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>who I think just said had a sign that said

82
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>follow your dreams okay, something very similar, and he jumps

83
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>in and they spit him out and they all started

84
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>eating him again. Pop darts is Kellogg's right, Yes, God,

85
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>what a what a coop of Kellogg's beautiful.

86
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>The more bits, the better have their sales skyrocketed. They

87
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>have to.

88
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 1>It's I mean, it's the only time I've thought about

89
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>pop darts. Nothing makes a breakfast pastry more top of

90
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.160
<v Speaker 1>mind than a spare.

91
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Bowl, I know.

92
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>But as long as you're making fun of the spare

93
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>bowl game right right, like the bowl game should like

94
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>supersede the thing.

95
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Dude, I saw a play I would be real quick

96
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 2>on this. Yeah.

97
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>So Shador Sanders and Travis Hunter, who will go in

98
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>the top five in the draft, they played and then

99
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>I learned they took out a huge life insurance checked

100
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>him and there was a play where Shador threw it

101
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 1>to Travis Hunter in traffic and Travis Hunter got drilled,

102
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and Travis Hunter got up and started chewing shit her

103
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>out really like, don't ruin my top five. I want

104
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>to wait till I get hurt next year. Yeah, okay,

105
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 1>So the Mavericks Christmas Day, oh no, yeah, it was.

106
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.959
<v Speaker 1>It was very disappointing with the Luke injury. The game

107
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 1>more I mean fun, it got fun Kyrie just fourth quarter.

108
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie is bonkers. And did you see any of the

109
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>forty six point game against Portland? So that's the one

110
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>game I haven't seen, oh man last Well yeah, we'll

111
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>get to that in a second. But the main news

112
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 1>you've probably heard the news Luca has a calf strain.

113
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>He's had multiple cap strains the last several seasons, and

114
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>so he is going to miss at minimum a month.

115
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>What they said is will reevaluate in a month. So

116
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>if you want to go back to December the twenty

117
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 1>fifth when it happened, and you jump to January twenty fifth,

118
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna miss sixteen games minimum.

119
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 2>And I went ahead and took it to February first,

120
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>some nineteen games.

121
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, let me let me just throw this in two. So,

122
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>if you have a calf strain, you're not doing cardio.

123
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, I'm sure there's stuff he can do

124
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 2>in the pool or whatever. I don't know.

125
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not privy to medical crap, but I would assume

126
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>that if he sits around for a month letting that

127
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.399
<v Speaker 1>thing heal, he ain't gonna be in the best shape.

128
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

129
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 1>So now we're gonna we're gonna spend some time getting

130
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>him in shape, and then there's an All Star break.

131
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 1>The All Star break is February fourteenth, So he misses

132
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a month and then we get him back in shape,

133
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and then it's if it's me, if they're not getting

134
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>hammered in the standings, I wouldn't bring him back till

135
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>after the All Star I agree, because the other thing

136
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna happen is all right, so he's gonna.

137
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Be voted into the All Star Game.

138
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're are we cool with him coming back and

139
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>playing four games and then going to the All Star Game.

140
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want that.

141
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I understand him wanting that, and I want,

142
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want what Luca wants, but same time,

143
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>this whole season because here the other thing, we're about

144
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>to grind Kyrie down to a nub.

145
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>That's that's my biggest concern. I'm glad you said that.

146
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's my number one concern about all this is

147
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>not so much where you're gonna end up in the standings.

148
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll be fine.

149
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 1>It's the idea of being able to go a little

150
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 1>bit easier on Luca and Kyrie this year after they

151
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.399
<v Speaker 1>played one hundred plus games last ynight and now Kyrie

152
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>having to tote the note if they if they do this,

153
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 1>if they commit to Luca not coming back until after

154
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>the All Star break, and then he doesn't have to

155
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>go to all that All Star crap.

156
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>And again, they.

157
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>May have other injuries. They may be, you know, lose

158
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of games. Do you know what their strength

159
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of schedule is from December twenty fifth to January twenty fifth?

160
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen this anyway?

161
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know that but I know it's two

162
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 1>against Oklahoma City, Cleve, Houston, Denver, two against Denver. It's

163
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 1>the sixth toughest schedule in the NBA. Okay, So the

164
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 1>way I look at this, which nobody consults me fair enough,

165
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't bring Luca back till after the All Star break.

166
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 1>I would get his calf completely healthy, and then I

167
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>would spend two weeks doing nothing, book cardio, nothing, book.

168
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Cardio, and then you know, you have the.

169
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>All Star break, get everybody get back so we can

170
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 1>have some scrimmages, and then you have almost two months

171
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>of the season left to ramp up and hit the

172
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 1>ground running and make a deep playoff run. I exercised

173
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>my choice to view this injury as a Christmas miracle

174
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 1>rather than a like, this really awful thing.

175
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 2>And the reason is that speak your truth.

176
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Well. When you play as much as he has without stopping,

177
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>because he's going to play international ball and playoffs, so

178
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>extra games and just being on this run, and people,

179
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I do think forget that the twenty twenty schedule got

180
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 1>so jacked up with the bubble and that season was

181
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.960
<v Speaker 1>pushed back. The next season started really fast. Yeah, there

182
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 1>is no downtime. He is not experienced legit downtime. Remember

183
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 1>all that dumb traveling they did at the beginning of

184
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>last season where they went to Dubai and then went

185
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:07.759
<v Speaker 1>to Spain.

186
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what I mean.

187
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's ever done that. Yeah, there's just a lot. It's

188
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot of NonStop action and wear and tear on

189
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>your body, agree and lower body injuries. That's just what

190
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 1>fourth fifth it was as fifth injury of lower body injury.

191
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Since we've gotten he's had the year four. This year

192
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 1>we had the quad, we had the heel. The heel

193
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.679
<v Speaker 1>was the last one we have had. Half calf an

194
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 1>I think then not to mention the risk thing, right, Well, so,

195
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, this kind of felt to me like

196
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 1>something like this might be coming down the pike at sometime,

197
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 1>and I'm glad it's not happening in April.

198
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 3>No.

199
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>That that's that's a great point.

200
00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what all this is about, which is why I'm like, man,

201
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 1>if they can and right.

202
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, what is their records at twenty one in the life.

203
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I think, okay, yeah, they were nineteen eleven recently, so

204
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>something similar.

205
00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Eleven or twenty and twelve somewhere in there.

206
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 1>If they can go five hundred in this stretch and

207
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>still have be eight games above five hundred. You're still

208
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>trending towards a fifty win season and then you can

209
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 1>really get it together and the final stretch of the

210
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 1>year just be in the top four, right, you know,

211
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>That's where there are now twenty and twelve and so,

212
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and there are a game and a half up on

213
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:23.799
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers and the Clippers. I'm not worried of the Clippers,

214
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>although you will get Kawhi back soon, but I'm not

215
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>worried about the Lakers. I'm more worried about it that

216
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 1>group of teams behind is Denver getting it together and

217
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota like those like teams who could actually find a way,

218
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, you end up in the play in somehow.

219
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota was in your Western Conference finals last year. Now,

220
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>they did swap out Karl Anthony Towns for Julius Randall.

221
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But point being is that if you have a guy

222
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>as good as Anthony Edwards and you've got good players

223
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>around them, which they do, good defensive players around them,

224
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>then you're in the mix.

225
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely in the mix.

226
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>So the Western Conference is incredibly tough, it's uh and

227
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 1>so to me, it's just tread water and get healthy,

228
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and so that is where I'm a little concerned during

229
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>this stretch. Man, I can't I can't believe Kay played

230
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>against Portland and dude, he had twenty in.

231
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 2>The first half.

232
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so this game, you know, we didn't even talk

233
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.799
<v Speaker 1>about the fight. What was your reaction to the fight

234
00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>in which Nause and PJ got Pj's back for tonight

235
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 1>and I think Lively is going to be back for tonight.

236
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

237
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know Kyrie is out by the way tonight. Oh,

238
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see that. It did drop about Sorry, I

239
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 3>dropped a thing about an hour ago before we started.

240
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I have not seen that. UK. Well, that's not good.

241
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was I thought it was a lofty

242
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>uh suspension for Nause.

243
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that was four games. I don't think.

244
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Did you read the press release? I didn't know. So

245
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>he went and starred stuff up in the corridor. Oh okay,

246
00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.159
<v Speaker 2>so that's what probably. So the thing is like, and

247
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I kind of it.

248
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Everybody everybody on Friday night was selling could I have

249
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I had MAV's postgame duty. Yeah, So I got home

250
00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 1>late and was on Twitter and I saw everybody in

251
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the MAV world going crazy for him changing his Twitter

252
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>banner to him punching. It's so good, right, and I'm

253
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 1>looking at that going. I was preferred this to be

254
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 1>changed after the suspension was announced. Yeah, because you're just

255
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>like sending a message to the Yeah, punched him, I'll

256
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 1>do it again. And did you ever see the footage

257
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of him choking Jimmy Butler? No, so that happened last

258
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>year or maybe it was two years ago. But you

259
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 1>know what happens in the league. It's like the same

260
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 1>thing with Draymond. They start going, all right, we're gonna

261
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 1>do this again. All right, check out this as we learned. Yeah, so,

262
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it has great long term residual effects for

263
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 1>the team to have him be involved in that.

264
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I too. I think PJ.

265
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington Junior got done wrong too. I don't even think

266
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>he should have been kicked out of that game for

267
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 1>them to say he escalated it. Dude, he pushed a

268
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>guy that was throwing a punch and then immediately turned

269
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>his attention elsewhere. Escalating it would have been pushing him

270
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and then going after him or standing on top of

271
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 1>him or stepping on him. He didn't escalate it. He

272
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 1>shoved a guy that was throwing punches out of the way.

273
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.559
<v Speaker 1>That was terrible. This is how I think about this

274
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>these things, like especially the NBA, the games are a

275
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 1>group close together. Though something like that happens, Okay, suspending

276
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:27.519
<v Speaker 1>for a certain number of games, just because you're probably

277
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>going off something that happened in the past, not with

278
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that player, just in general, Like what do we normally

279
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>do for suspensions on guys who threw a punch?

280
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Right?

281
00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, okay, so it happened, so four games.

282
00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.559
<v Speaker 1>What's usually, let's just say, is eight days ago, they're

283
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>not still going. Man, I gotta learn my lesson here.

284
00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>D It's not jail time right right, just to think

285
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 1>about your mistake, Like, dude, after two games, we're good

286
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>to get back out there and play.

287
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>By the way, your product is better when your players

288
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>get to play.

289
00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, And I think the whole Nurkic thing, it's like

290
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>he started it because he doubled back and then he's

291
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the first one that threw a blow. Yeah, like Nase

292
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>pushing Nurkic is nothing. Nurkic taking his giant bear paw

293
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and slapping Mark. I mean his hand is the size

294
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 1>of Marshall's head. It was basically looked like that Russian

295
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 1>slap fight thing. So he started it and then threw

296
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the first punch. That is a punch just because your

297
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 1>fist is bald up, going at someone's head is going

298
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.519
<v Speaker 1>at someone's head. And anyways, Naje didn't even connect whatever.

299
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh PJ.

300
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:37.159
