  Speaker 1: We're back at it in the audio Sweatshop that does
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not stop. We do not have locks on our doors.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: We are here twenty four hours a day, seven days
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a week. It's crazy, crazy, crazy, but that's how this works.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's we never close. We're always open for business, holidays,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you name it, always open for business. So our leader
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is from pro bouncy Ball and we have a couple
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of games. You joned up for the Hornets and the heat.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Does that get you all excited?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: How about the Trailblazers and the Suns. No, well that's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: what's on the menu. So instead of talking about those
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: games just to be coming up on Tuesday night, instead
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we discuss the grumble grumble, grumble, And a number of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Laker historians are not happy because lukea is ineligible for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the NBA Postseason Awards. He missed too many games, so sorry,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: can't do it now. If you didn't see this, the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: complaints and people angry and all that, maybe you missed it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So the Luca marching and shout of society. They point
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: out that Luca led the NBA in points scored, he
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: had the second most points and a combined, and he
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was in the top forty in minutes played this season.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yet he is ineligible for any of the postseason awards,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the All NBA, the MVP. The league has a sixty
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: five game rule, sixty five game rule. He did not
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: meet that threshold, miss it by one game. So that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: question now with all these people complaining about Luca. Is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: not fair, not fair. Luca can't win his little trophy,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is not fair. So is this really that complicated? The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: league said sixty five games to win an award, everyone
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: knew it, and Luca didn't get to the sixty fifth game.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So what exactly is the debate here? So I've got
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: wild Rivers, We've got Wild Rivers, FedEx and San Diego Zoo,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we are going to give you the alphabet ABC. We'll
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: start with that number A stop. So this is not complex.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Most of these arguments are not complex. It is kindergarden
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: level malar math, kindergarten lever level malar math with a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: max contract attached to it. So the NBA drew They
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: took a bright red sharpie and with that bright red sharpie,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they drew a line. And it's the threshold. It's at
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: sixty five games. That's what they determined, and Luca showed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: up sixty four games. You see, he didn't make the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: sixty five, so it's sixty five and above. So this
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: is not some kind of grand conspiracy. Of course, the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: NBA could still change their mind and say, oh, insight,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we're gonna allow him to be eligible. As of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: time of this monologue, that is not the case. That
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: is not the case. So the Laker historians who are crying, listen,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Luca missed the card. That's it. That's all. This is right,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and you're crying in your statues, but look at the stats.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Go go f your stats, your stat effort, go after
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: your stats. Right, you're treating us like it's a courtroom drama,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but your honor, look at the totals. Look at the totals. Okay, points, rebounds, assist,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a statistical buffet. Great, you don't want to do for you,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a puffy sticker, little puffy sticker. Congratulations,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that's right. Not you did not earn a scratch and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: sniff sticker, just a puffy sticker. So I'm sorry, But regardless,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Luca did not meet the minimum requirement. I know, the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: last number of years we've been lowering standards on everything,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: but this is the bare minimum. This is the participation
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: trophy generation crashing into reality the last couple of years
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: since the NBA put this rule in. So it's not
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that hard if you want to win the MVP or
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: be on the All NBA team and all that stuff.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: If you want to travel down glory road, travel down
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: glory road. The clock is rather simple, all right. You
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: got to put time in on the clock. So the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: malor verdict in the judges chambers, the malar verdict on this.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: This isn't some part time summer job. You're eighteen years old.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You're working at the Wild Rivers water Park. It is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a full season grind. But it's not right.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, this gun's might get a boom boo. Okay,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I love that, like all these young guys who are like, oh,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: we're so much tougher, we're so much better than it
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: used to be. And yet those guys in the past
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: traveled by commercial airline, not chartered flights, and occasionally played
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: three games in a row. And these guys back to back,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you might as well be sent to Guantanamo Bay, back
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to back, right, these guys lose their mind over that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But then they have all the chefs and the trainers
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and all that, and yet can't show up the work.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And then when you call them on that, you say, well,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to be, you're supposed to be have there
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: planings like you're not working at Wild Rivers. Well, well no,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we're working at Lazy River. It's a different spinoff. So
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the rule was clear. Here's the thing I don't understand.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So the rule was clear, the number was out there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: The outcome if you didn't make the number was also clear.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: No loopholes, no exceptions, no violin music, and it's simple
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: malormth If you get to sixty four, that's not sixty five.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Case closed, all right now, Page two, Continuing the theme
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: though of this hour, so only of the entire NBA,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they were roughly five hundred and eighty players that appeared
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in at least one game in the NBA. Know, a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: lot of those guys only played in a couple of games.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The vast majority, you know, thirty teams. You can do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the math on that. Each team, I'm about fifteen players,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and of those fifteen, eight to ten rotation players, so
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: somewhere in that department, so you can you can do
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the mass. So you say, well, just we'll say that
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: teams have a long, long, deep bench. So if that's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the case, so we'll do the mouth of math. So
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: we determine there's thirty teams, so if ten, and then
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you just do the times of thirty there and you
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: do the male of the mouth, and so that's that's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: three hundred, but it's actually more than that. But either way,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So out of those players in the NBA, how many
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: players in the NBA reached the threshold to be eligible
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: for all NBA and MVP and all the other let's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: pat you on the back awards. You want to take
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a guess, you got it? You got a number? Okay? Good?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: The answer out of around five hundred plus total players
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, eighty six players is the number eighty
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: six across the entire league, eighty six players met the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: eligible threshold, the eligibility threshold for end of season awards
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: eighty six and the entire NBA. How for embarrassing is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that for the NBA? Seriously, So let's do the math
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on that, So eighty six and then you divide that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: by by thirty. That means if you just do the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: look ahead, it's like less than three players per team
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: qualified out of thirty teams, less than two point eight
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: out of the thirty teams qualified. So the question is
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the NBA sabotaging like some of you Knuckleeger are saying,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: are they sabotaging their own product by enforcing the rule,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the sixty five game rule that sidelines the biggest names
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in the sport, many of them from these races to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: win the various awards. So is this an act of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: sabotage by the NBA? To that, I say, poppy cock,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: capital p. This is not sabotaging anything. It's like this.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: In fact, this is actually the NBA admitting something that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we've all known. It's been abbi for years that they
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: got a problem. Now, just because you admit you have
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a problem does not mean that you're gonna be able
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to fix that problem. The product was getting watered down,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: beyond water down. And because the stars they weren't showing up,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: they were not showing up. The league did not create
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the problem, all right, it responded to it. Now, the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: league was a little lax in not keeping track of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: what was going on Adam Silver was asleep at the switch,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: but it was the teams and they hired a bunch
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of dorks who have figured out, well, if you play
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: thirty three minutes, you're going to have an injury. If
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you play thirty one and a half minutes, you're gonna
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: be perfectly fine. It's voodoo medicine. And there's a lot
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of people that are stupid that work in pro sports
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and they buy this crap and so they be it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They believe it, and they did it for years and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it kept getting It was the boiling frog theory. Little
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: by little more of this dogma got into the NBA
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: year by year, and before you know it, we were
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: on full skullduggery and that's where we are and that's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: why the sixty five game rule took place and the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: league is trying to fix it. And by the way,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: let me point out this is very important. The NBA
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Players Association, they co authored, as I understand the rule, like,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: they signed off on it, they stamped it, they notarized it,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they went to FedEx and they sent the thing. And
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: so all you dumb dumbs in outrage army who were
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: upset because of Luke and some of these other guys
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: who aren't eligible to win awards. If you can't hit
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: sixty five games out of eighty two, why would you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: even be in the conversation for the MVP right now.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: The reason you have to have the rule is because
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: there's some wokesters who vote for these awards. Well, I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: don't care that Joe Blow only played thirteen games. He's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: my envp Okay, you loser, So you gotta put the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: rule in there because he's idiots will take advantage of it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But production and availability kind of a big deal. Both matter,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: both matter, and it's not a sob story. The players
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: were tougher before and despite all these critics, Oh, you're
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: playing against a bunch of plumbers and all that. Well, No,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: at age thirty nine, Michael Jordan played eighty two games.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? What is wrong when you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he was playing for the Washington Wizards, a joke of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a franchise, and he played eighty two games. No load management,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: no maintenance days, No I need the day off. I'm
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: getting a manny and a petty like we have today.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We didn't get that, And this rule exists because the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: players stop showing up the work that's it, right, that's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the real story. You want the award, you punch the clock.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: If you are gonna miss almost twenty percent of the season,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, there, you're out. End of discussion. That's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it now. Meanwhile, we go to the Big Apple and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: every year we get the same story. The Knicks are
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. In the way in the last few
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: years Knicks are in the playoffs. Is this the year
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the Knicks have not won a championship in over fifty years?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Is this going to be the year that the Knickerbockers
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: wake up the echoes of Walt Clyde Fraser and Willis
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Reid and get it done well anyway. Shaquille O'Neal commenting recently,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Shaq commenting about Carl Anthony Towns of New York in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the upcoming playoffs, Shaq said, you know what scares me
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: about the Knicks? I think you know he says, he said,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it's kitty cat Carl Anthony Towns. This says, am I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: going to get tiger or a pussy cat? Is what
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Shaq said about Carl Anthony town So the question on
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: this one is Shaquille O'Neal basically telling the world you
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and me and the world. That Nick star Carl Anthony
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Towns is a mister softy. Is that what he's saying.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So I am nodding my head, Yes, I am nodding
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: my head. Yes, that is the case here. So Shaquille
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: O'Neal is not just sending a message. It's not a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: message in a bottle, it's a message in a podcast.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But he's he's handing out for Karl Anthony Towns the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: jet puffed marshmallow certificate. Congratulations. You can pick that up
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: on your way out, but you get the jet puffed
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: marshmallow certificate. When a Hall of Fame center, Shaquille O'Neil
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: questions your competitive DNA. Of course, remember Shack took time
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: off because he got hurt on company time. He wanted
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to rehab on company time. That's a different conversation. But
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the comments that Shack made, the comments that Shack made
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: about Karl Anthony Towns not a pep talk. It's not
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a pep talk. It's an indictment. It's not wrong either.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Like the Knick's going into the playoffs, the Nicks know
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that they're gonna get an honest night's work from Jalen Brunson. However,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns, it's like the ultimate Amazon mystery box.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: What's in the box, Well, we don't know. We haven't
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: opened the box. We don't know what's in the box.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: One night you open that box up and it's high
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: end electronics and you're like, WHOA, that's great, I got
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: what is awesome? The next ten nights in a row,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: it's just packing peanuts and bubble wrap and disappointment. That's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: all it is. And well, he has not quite Karl
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Anthony Town's reached Playoff Hardened level. It'd be almost impossible
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to reach the level of Playoff Harden, that level of infamy.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And my condolence is to Strip Club John Ohio al
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and all our guys in Cleveland who have that to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: look forward to as your dreams will be broken yet
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: again by Playoff Harden. That's coming up just next level.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns. It seems like most of the time
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: he's daydreaming. We're not sure what he's daydreaming about, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: why would you daydream at night? But he does it
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on the court and he has the raw aggressiveness. Karl
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Anthony Towns, like, if you were to go to the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: San Diego Zoo and get your binoculars out and look
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: at the koalas who are in the trees getting high
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: on the eucalyptus. That's essentially what Karl Anthony Towns is
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in a playoff game. And so New York, New York
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: betting their entire season on essentially a moon ring. Well,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: what color is it gonna be? Is it gonna be violet?
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: That's good, he'll play well. No, no, it's gray. Oh
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: oh it's black? Oh no, is it okay? He's good,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: he's good. All right. So in the middle of April
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: now here we are playoffs about to begin. Now, the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Knicks don't play till this weekend because they're not in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that fugazy playing thing. This weekend, the playoffs will get
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: going and the Knicks second option. It's like the TV
• 17:51

  Speaker 1: It's Benny versus Depending. Shaq is not motivating anybody, he's not.
• 18:00

  Speaker 2: Listen? Listen.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: You you made the comment earlier about the NBA players
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: playing eighty two games. Do you actually know how many
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: players actually played all eighty two games this season?
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: This year?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I did see that number. I don't remember off the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: top of my head, but it was it was a few,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: not very many.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: Well, Rano, do you have an answer?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: You have an answer, No, four four players this season?
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Do you know how many players?
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: No?
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: What do you?
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: What do you getting?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: What do you?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: What are you getting?
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: What that is is that this league is soft there,
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: they're charm and soft. If only four players could actually
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: play all eighty two games, why aren't. I don't care
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: if it's a Jared Allen, I don't care if it's
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: Michel Bridges. These guys should be nominated for MVP. They
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: played all eighty two games. They did something that over
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: three hundred players couldn't do.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: You know, hey, listen, I like people that show up
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to work.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: They did their job. And then then the other thing
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: is your analogy. I was kind of following it, but
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: wasn't following it. It would be like the kids that
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: go to school every day, and then the kid that
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: gets your school at least twice a month, and then
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: when all the honors awards come out, they don't get
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: nominated for nothing. And know like the parents are arguing,
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: well we excuse the absences. Perfect attendants is perfect attendant?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Are you touching up my analogy? I believe you're touching
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: up my analogy? How darey?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I am?
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Hy Lorena?
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: How are you.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: All right? Kyle. We love you, man man, weed Man.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: What's strange you guys?
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: So what what's the best strain you have?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Train? Like the marijuana strain? Now he gets excited. Now
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: weed Man's excited.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: I do I really did weave here?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I get really I don't know shame by.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't even know you're weed man. You don't
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: even know what you do. Just he just smokes it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: He calls it Mary Jane Man. That's what he does.
• 32:54

  Speaker 5: Patriots quarterback Drake May was interviewed at the Masters over
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: the weekend, where he said, quote, everybody's got the same
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: goal this time of the year, to get back to
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: that game. As of today, the Patriots are only tied
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: for the fifth best odds to get to the Super Bowl, Ben,
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: do you think the odds should be better for them?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: No, that's about right. They played a bunch of cupcakes
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: last year. They didn't play anybody. Although I look at
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the schedule this year, Mike, it doesn't seem that much
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: harder than me. But yeah, they have to prove it
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: they're legit because they played a very weak schedule and
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: so people don't take them seriously. So that seems about
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: right where they should be. They have to validate that
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: last year was not just a product of the schedule.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: New Browns head coach Todd Munkin was asked recently what
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: he can do to change the perception that things always
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: go wrong for the Browns. Monkin said, winning changes everything.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Then how much winning and for how long would it
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: take to change the narrative around the brands.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Well, they did have one year where they want a
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: playoff game. Pittsburgh gave that game away. It didn't change anything.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: So they'd have to have sustained success for three to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: five years. And you might want to show up to
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the coach's photo. Remember Todd Mounkin was getting a nice
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: haircut and forgot to go. That's not a good look,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: all right, Next been The playing tournament starts Tuesday. Which
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: are the four teams involved?
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Do you think has the best chance to not only
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: make it to the actual playoffs, but potentially advanced past.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: The first round?
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I love this. Who's gonna make some noise? I'm gonna go.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Charlotte. I like the Hornets, con
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Canipple and Alonzo Ball, those two guys back and forth.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And then also I think the Clippers in the West.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: For those of you, how do we do you pass?
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I said? I said,
