  Speaker 1: I will say the one thing, I'm a little surprised
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: on the Trey Young thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: So am I Yeah, that's what that's I'm a little.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Surprised on that, but I'm not trying to rain on it. Like,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: first of all, everybody deserves to make it. But I'm
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a little shocked Trey Young didn't make the dog because
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: he's played. He's played really good, probably in my paying
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: his best.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Year twenty three and eleven, leads the league and assists.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Well, he stop passing.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Now, but he.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: So he so he didn't. I was looking at Tyrese Maxie.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: You could have considered Tyresse Maxi here has been he's
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: been on a tear in his sixth in the league
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: and scoring those two and well, obviously the fans had
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: LaMelo ball number one, having a terrific year, and the
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: players had him number three. The media had him number seven,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and he doesn't make the cut as far as the coaches.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Scoring like that every year, somebody, No, those are three names.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I definitely deserve to be on the team. But this
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: way took crumbles some time running.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Let me write that one down. That's the way that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: It's funny because I also it always for those guys.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: When it's close, it's always about what when the coaches
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: are voting, what your team is doing, you know. And
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the and the Hawks, I think they went they lost
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: six now in a row, and so now they're they're
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: voting right, although about a week.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Ago I'm sitting there, i mean their six game losing streak,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking the coaches have already kind of wahed in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: before the before that reached six, because they had won
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: three in a row, they had won in Boston, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and sore. Yeah, that's that's the That's a stunner for
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: me as well. What do you think is we talked
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: about how difficult some of these might be, the tray
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: young things stuck out at us in the Eastern Conference.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: What's the first name that comes to mind here that
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: you thought should be?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And you know, Kenny, one thing we always agree on.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they made it up, brought in the media
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and the coaches. When you're picking people.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: From players, stands and media.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, but a guy like this who's been a really
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: good player in this league for a long time. He
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: having a career year, he's been the second best player
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he's on the Clippers.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: He's their leading scorer.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying, but he's I mean, yeah, but I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: saying that team is shocked. Everybody, everybody thought the Clippers.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Koa has been out basically all year. I would love
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to see him get rewarded.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But I feel bad, But I love normal Pole. But
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: maybe he'll get a break because of the Anthony Davis situation.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: You never know, and I mean tenth season in the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: league and so many of those years he was coming
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: off the bench. This first time that he's had a
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: chance to start every game he's played.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: For a team, I would painfully say, I would have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to agree with Chuck. He's playing excellent basketball, and you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: guys like that should be rewarded. And whether he makes
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it not, you know, he's definitely an All Star in
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: my eyes. But playing great basketball. Regulation to James Harden
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and again every year we have the discussion who should
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: have made who doesn't make it, But no, these guys
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: just will continue to do well for the team. But
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Norman Poble definitely should be on this list.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Can I throw another name out there that I'm surprised
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that we didn't hear demonas the Bonis Oh yeah, yeah, you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Know, I think they started so slower. I mean that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that might have hurt hurt his chances.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: But he's been he's I mean, look twenty one and
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: for he leads the league in rebounding he's second and
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: three point percentage. He leads the league in double doubles
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: with forty two. He said, double doubles in forty two
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: out of the forty four games.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: That's a long star right there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean there are a lot of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: guys would all start. We knew the webs was gonna
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: be crazy though, Yeah, yeah, I mean even Green at Houston,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he could have been a second choice. Yes, uh, Jalen
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Green's having a fabulous year, unbelievable year, you know, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that puts you in position I think the year. Don't
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: be interested who they picked, though, because I don't know
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: if Anthony David that I've had that adominal thing before.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It is not they say it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: They gonna real check him out in a week, Yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: which means two weeks he won't be ready to go.

  Speaker 3: Green is in that. In that group, it's tough. John Morant.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: John Morant played twenty eight out of the forty seven games.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: That's not tough.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: That didn't help.
