  Speaker 2: so long. I'm just so excited to talk.

• 0:37
  Speaker 1: He thinks his future is more important doing homework or something.

• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the things that you do. That's a lesson for today.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Do things early and often perfect timing means you're too late.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Just think about that, okay. And then also like, he
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: probably just wanted to duck the smoke because you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I love Derek Rose, but you know he was never
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: top five, so shots on the Maybe we'll talk about
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that here later, But first of all, before we get
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: more into it, you can find us on all platforms
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: pretty much. I know we're streaming right now on Twitch

  Speaker 1: wherever you listen to, the soul called sports Analyst is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: here to bring you sports news. So yeah, first first
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thing we're gonna do is kind of react to the standings. Okay,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so let me share my screen right here so we
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: can kind of look at it like a visual representation.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Right here. Share right here, so we have.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The we have these pulled up right now. I wonder
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: if I can zoom in a little bit.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not the expert on this sharing.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: St available versus new chrome available, the three dots.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, oh I had one hundred. Oh there we go.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: That's a little Yeah, it's been okay.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, So right now, this is the playoff standings right
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: now in the Eastern Conference. In the top six right
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: now if they were to end today for sure in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the playoffs is number one Detroit. Honestly, Detroit's been bawling.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Number two New York, Number three is Boston, Number four
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: is Toronto, Number five is Cleveland, Number six is Philadelphia,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and then in the play in right now, if the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: season we're to end today would be Miami, Orlando, Atlanta
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and Chicago, which I do think is very surprising considering
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the way they fell off. And then right there behind
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: them are the Charlotte Hornets sitting right outside the play
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in the Milwaukee Bucks.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Where's John is going?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We don't know Brooklyn, Washington and Indiana right now looking
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: at the screen. Who for you is the biggest surprise
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: right now? In the standings in the Eastern Conference.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna have to go. It's between Detroit
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and Toronto. But I feel like we knew Detroit was
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: good and it's like not as new. But I think
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to Toronto. No, actually, Boston, I'm gonna
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: go to Boston without they they don't have Jason Tatum
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and they're playing at this really high level. We've seen
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown been able to basically go crazy, and I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: think it speaks volumes to how good of a coach.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's not Ima, what's his name? Joe Mosula, Joe Missoula.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: They're playing Missoula ball bro. They're just being really aggressive,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: they're just playing defense. They're doing what they need to do.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: We're seeing the emergence of Hugo Gonzalez. He It's just
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: such a defensive minded team. They're just so good. We're
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: seeing Jordan Walsh go to work. Namise Cada is playing
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: really good. Bro like this team. They're just so defensive centric,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and then they're letting Jalen Brown go to work. It's
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: just such a great team. They're a big surprise to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: me without Jason Tatum being top three in the East,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and the East is week New York went like one
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and nine. They've had a really bad January. They went
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: like one to nine. They're still two. So it's like
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it is surprising, but to an extent it's not. But yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: i'mna have to go Boston, what about you?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree a little bit.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're the biggest surprise for me, but
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: definitely I'm gonna have to pick it back on what
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you said. I feel like this is where Boston's kind
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of asserting themselves as just a good unit even without
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum and already through halfway more than halfway through
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the season, they're still sitting a top of the Eastern Conference.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Just imagine if Jason Tatum was playing for them right now,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: they've probably honestly be James probably yeah, yeah, they'd be
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: probably probably honestly challenging Detroit right now for that number
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: one spot in the Eastern Conference. And I think it
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: just goes to show the coaching. I think you lose
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of pieces in the offseason, but you've been
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: able to implement more guys and actually get new role
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: players going that that weren't really playing last year, like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Jordan Wall. Shordan Watsh is really turning into a really
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: great defender in the NBA. He matches up very well
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: against some high level offensive players.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And then let's just look at Jalen Brown.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was never doubt that Jalen Brown was like, Okay,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: maybe a top twenty five is basket player in the world,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: which I still do think he's hovering around that top
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: twenty mark, but given this season alone, he has been
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: arguably one of the top five players this season. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and it goes to show how when you need players
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to step up, they're gonna step up, and Jalen Brown
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: has definitely been one of those. He's definitely in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: MVP talks right now. And as far as Derek White,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Derek Wright just knows how to play his role.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Where was this in San Antonio?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I wish it happened earlier, but he his on ball
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: defense is by far one of the best in the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: entire NBA, and he and he's just he gets the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: most shots shot on him in the entire NBA, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he's still able to hold his own because he's such
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a great defender and he plays with a lot of hustles.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So I do think Boston being up here is very
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: surprising because for me personally, I would have had them
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: around the plane turn playing area at the beginning of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the season. But right now they're tied for second, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: right the way the New York, like you said, has
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: been playing, they may easily move into that second spot.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But for me, the biggest surprise I will have to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: say is probably going to be the Charlotte Hornets. And
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I know that they're sitting right outside the plane, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: they could easily within the next couple of weeks. They're
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: seven and three over their last ten. They've been bawling
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: as of recently, and all due to one man and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the way that he's been playing is King Khan Like
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: we said, he went toe to toe last night with
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flag, dropping eight threes, going for thirty nine points.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: He is a future star in the making. I don't
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think he'll ever be that high level like peer offensive player,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: but his shot is so peer that it does not
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: matter when you can hit shots, and I do think
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he's I think Klay Thompson is a good comp.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: For him, but he's better.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: He's a better ball handler than Klay Thompson at creating
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his shot as well, and I do think that's gonna
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be a separated for him against a lot of people
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: because he is so peer with that shot. And plus
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: he'll develop more into a better offensive game, a more
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: refined game than Klay Thompson has had has had in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: his career. And that's saying a lot because it is
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Klay Thompson. But I do think the other guys around
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: them are really stepping up. Even Brandon Miller has looked
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: very good this year as well. I do think the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: one downside is the LaMelo contract in LaMelo Ball's role
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: for this team, Like where are they gonna go with LaMelo?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Because there's been times this season where he set out
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: at the end of the fourth quarter because they just
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: really need to secure a dub and it's really helped
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: him having him on the bench at times.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to piggyback off that love. I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: love Kunkin Nipple. That was like my guy during the draft.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: This Charlotte team is very surprising. Like you said, they're
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: at the bottom of the standings. Hold up, am I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: still here? Sorry someone's here and stick me off the screen.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: But uh, yeah, Charlotte's just very intriguing. They have this
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: young I guess you could call yeah young Core with
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Brandon Miller and Kunkin Nipple. And yeah, I'm not the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: biggest LaMelo Ryan called Gerner, yeah, who they also got
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in the draft this year. I'm just not the biggest
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: LaMelo guy, like I've never been. And I do think
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that's he's he's so up and down. He can give
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you like triple doubles and then the next night he'll
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: give you like eight points on like eight for twenty
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: five shooting or some crazy like that. Like it's it's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: so up and down.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very inconsistent from LaMelo for sure.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I really like what the Hornets are doing
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and I do think they're gonna be able to sneak
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: into the well, it's gonna be kind of challenging. They're
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: only two games bat or it'd be three.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I feel like I don't think it'll be that challenging.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Like they've been on the up and ups in the season,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they've been getting a lot better centering their game around
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the younger guys. But when we look at the standpoint
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of like Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Like besides Miami, Orlando,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Atlanta and Chicago, at least, they've definitely been the team
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to they've been teams that have been struggling a little bit,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: especially Atlanta after the trade young trade.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Thought is the most likely to fall. Like if if
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Charlotte enters, who do you think falls?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I think definitely Chicago.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It's just.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: They themselves kinda don't. They've been very inconsistent when it
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: comes to, uh, just putting games together since the beginning
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: of the season, and I just think that they have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of moves to make. I do think they're
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: stuck in that like purgatory type of way where they're
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in no men's land. They're kind of just trying to
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: figure out who they are, and I think that's a problem.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I think the Charlotte Hornets know exactly who they are,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: A young grady team that's gonna fight to the very
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: end in every single game. And I think for them,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: they're gonna pull out some wins against some top teams
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and virtually move up into that top spot.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: But as far as.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Atlanta, like, I think Atlanta they're gonna figure it out
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: just a little bit. But Dyson Daniels has been one
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of the worst three point shooters in the entire NBA
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this after really improving last season.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: So that's a bad contract.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's been a real struggle for them. Hey, is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: your a volume on on your laptop right now? Yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we kind of I don't feel that there's an echo
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: But hold up, you see.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Hello, hello, hello, Hello.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's gone now. Yeah it's gone now. Okay, oh no,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: it's back. Maybe it's just me, but it's all right.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: So I feel like for me and one other thing
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: when you talk about is Milwaukee, Like, do you think
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it's time the honest is gonna be gone by the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: NBA trade deadline?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I don't think he'll be gone just
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: because like I do want him gone, Like as a
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: fan of be honest, I hate to see him there
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: just rotting and just like practically wasting his career away.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: But I think it's gonna be easier for team or
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: for Milwaukee to get what they want for your honest
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in the offseason. Considering that all these teams have their
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: team built together right like as of now, and they
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: have they're gonna be able to move more pieces around
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: in the off season. Does that make sense? Like at
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline, I feel like they're like assets are
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: a bit like what am I trying to say? It's
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: like limited, they're like limited to what they can what
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: teams can and can't give them at the headline, But
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: whenever it's the off season, they're gonna get more than
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: h or what they want. But I wouldn't be surprised
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: if they do move him. But that's just my take
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: on it. Like I don't I would be. I wouldn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: be surprised either way.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think that it's a more of a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: team new type of thing, like what teams are willing
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to sacrifice a lot. Maybe a team like New York
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: gets desperate and sends everybody because they have been losing
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: so much over the last month and they're maybe thinking
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it's trouble in paradise and they really need that extra
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: spark in like a superstar next to Jalen Brunson. Karl
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Anthony Towns is a star, but I don't think he's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a superstar.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: So, and I.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Do think by the time playoffs comes around, you need
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a guy that's less voul trouble because Giannas doesn't get
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: into foul trouble like Karl Anthony Towns does, and a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: guy that's assertive and dominant and aggressive. So and that's
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: what Jannis is come playoff time. And I don't think
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Boston makes a real move Toronto. I don't see them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe they move some guys, but does Giannis really want
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to go to Toronto. I don't think so. Cleveland, they
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: really can't move anybody. They'll put themselves in some serious
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: cap situations if they do.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, the other.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Team is Miami, Miami for me, just maybe they could
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: make a real move for him. Maybe Tyler Harrow's on
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the move if they want to really bring in you, honest,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: But that's something to monitor as well. So, and we
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: haven't even talked about the Western Conference, so let's move
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: over there. But I don't maybe teams that could make
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a move in the Western Conference, hmm. I just don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: see it happening in the Western Conference. Like I just
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: feel like in the State, Yeah, but I'm just not
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a good looking team for him.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like I don't think so either. They're so old,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Like how I texted in the group so I was like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I hope he goes anywhere, but but Golden State, like
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I think Sham's or someone had reported like they have
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: an intriguing package, Like apparently they have an intriguing package
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Golden State does, and I just feel that that's not
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the best place for you, honest, Like, yeah, he'll be
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: with Curry, but like who else is gonna be that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They're just such an old team like
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Al Horford and then Jim Butler's gone, So will they
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: even be able to get value out of him? They should,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I just don't. Yeah, I don't see anyone in the West.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Timberwolves, but I don't really know.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not really liking the Golden State move because I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: think in a couple of years it'll just be back
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in the same place he's at right now, and he'll
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: be older he'll be he'll be closer to being out
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of his prime, and what teams are really gonna look
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: for look for him in that way, and maybe his
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: body does deteriorate because how aggressive he does play is
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: all hypothetical. I don't want it to happen, but we've
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: seen older players that don't develop their game into shooting
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: leave the league earlier than they want to, you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: so I do think that that could become a problem
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: for him if he does go to Golden State, because
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: their team is on the on the older side. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: now let's do what we did in the Eastern Conference.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go over the Western Conference. Standing right now, Number
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: one is Oklahoma City. They've been they've they've been struggling
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit as a play as well. Yeah, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they are not gonna beat the seventy. They're not gonna
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: beat the twenty sixteen Warriors run sadly after san Antonio
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: completely took away their hopes and dreams from doing that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: And in number two we have san Antonio in number two,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: spot thirty two and fifteen.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Number three's Denver.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Number four is Houston, Number five is LA, Number six
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is Minnesota. The league if the season were to end today,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: those sixteenths would be positively in the playoffs. In the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: play in tournament right now would be Phoenix, Golden State, Portland,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and the Los Angeles Clippers. And then outside of it
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: is Memphis, Dallas, Utah, Sacramento, and New Orleans, which I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: do think they have may have a couple moves coming
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: in pretty soon. But what's your biggest surprise right now
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: on the season.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have to go Phoenix. I think Phoenix.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think not me. I don't know if you did,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: but I didn't expect them to be this good. Yeah,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: they're in the play in they're twenty nine and nineteen,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: but if you look at the East East Brook, twenty
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: nine and nineteen is like third or I think that's
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: what the what second and third were but to see
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and I think the biggest move for them that has
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: made them this good is is Dylan Brooks, Like he's
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: such a game change it to whatever team he goes to.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: He's just gonna raise raise the energy in the locker room.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: He's gonna fight each and every night beside his guys,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and I I'm just really surprised on what Phoenix has
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: been able to do. And I like seeing Phoenix succeed
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: because I'm a Devin Booker fan and just being able
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to see them just get out of that hole that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: they were that they seemed to be in with Katie
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Bradley Beal. It was just it was such a weird,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: weird time. Yeah, like they were, they were so in between,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: but now just seeing them be able to grow without them,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I like, I like what I'm seeing. And also I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: want to talk about San Antonio. Yeah, I expect them
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: to be good, but number two, number two seed good
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't expect them to. I was expecting playoffs.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: But them of Wimby and Stefan Castle on both sides
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: and Dylan Harper being a dog. This team is just
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: so well rounded. And when Wimby gets off the court,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: you have Luke Cornett come on and just dominate. Like
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: this team is. This team's scary, and I think just
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Mits Johnson is such a good coach and what he's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: been able to do, Yeah, bro, what he's been able
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to do with with this young team is is so amazing.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And then like Julian Champagnee is shooting the lights down.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: He's he's a good defender. Also, this team is just
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: full of good defenders and good role players. This it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Spurs basketball. It's literally what it is, this Spurs basketball.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: And you add in an alien.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just to talk about the Spurs real quick,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you know, they're just dominant, They're just they're just the best.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Team in the entire NBA.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you were to ask me a non
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: biased Spurs fan, but no, yeah, I really am proud of.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: The team right now.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I do think that we have struggled as of late,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: since the Christmas Day game. I do think that there's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: spend points where we've been come where we've been had
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: really big leads on teams and we've kind of blown
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: them away. We get less aggressive in the third quarter.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And I do think once we figure out how to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: be more aggressive in that third quarter where we're our
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: win totals of death, we should probably be right next
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to OKC right now. But due to some games that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: we've given away just due to lack of aggressiveness, has
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: really had a struggle in moments, and I do think
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: for me, I do think that's where we have to improve.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I do think we have to improve in the third quarter.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And we saw that the other night where they came
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: out just absolutely clamping down the Houston Rockets in the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: third quarter. They brought the aggressiveness to them and really
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: tore down that deficit, and we saw them be the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: better and the better and more aggressive team, because I
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: do think they are a better team than Houston Rockets
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: clearly when they are at the top of their game
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: like they were in that second half. And if they
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: can do that game in and game out and just
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: be the more aggressive, assertive team, no team is really
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: going to compete with them, because we saw them completely
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: be more aggressive and dominate the Oklahoma City Thunder in
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: their first three. If they can do that against every team,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the sky's limit really for this young San Antonio Spurs team.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not being biased when I say that, and I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: do think us being probably the worst three point shooting
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: team over the last fifteen games and we're still second
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: in the entire NBA, I think should be really scary
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the NBA because once our shot
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: we went from seventh in the NBA and three point
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: shooting to last to almost last in the NBA. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: once we get back into our groove, I do think
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: that it's gonna be raps for a lot of teams,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and for me at least, the biggest surprise.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Is I hate to say it because.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Who their leader is, the Los Angeles Clippers. I think
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for me, they started the season off so terrible and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: we were calling for them just to blow it up
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and send people away and send them out to other
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: teams and just pig yeah yeah, and start a rebuild.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: But ever since they started six and twenty one, they
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: have been four. We're thirteen and three have they are
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: nine to one in their last ten games. They have
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: been on a run to get back into playing contention,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and I do think that they're going to continue going
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: up as long as health permits them. And Kawhi Leonard
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: right now is averaging a career high.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Twenty eight points per game.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard is absolutely balling. We know what he brings. Defensively,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he is shooting forty nine percent from the field, forty
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: percent from three, and ninety four percent from the free
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: throw line. He's almost averaging fifty to forty and ninety
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: right now, and that is insane from a player at
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: his age. I do think that with all the injuries
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he's dealt with that he's only getting better is insane
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: to me. When he's at the top of his game,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's a top seven player in the NBA, like by far,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: no debate. I do think that he can bring so
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: much to the table. And what he's been doing with
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Clippers and bringing them back into the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: playing tournament has been really surprising for me because they
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: look like they were out of it to start the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: season completely, but they've really turned things around.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just being able to see Kawhi go back to
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: vintage Kawhi, just his shot making, the way, the way
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: he's brought this team back from being literally probably like
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: people were talking about ruining the NBA, Like they were saying, like, no,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: this is gonna ruin the NBA. How how's okay? So
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you gonna get like aj Debonster like cam Booze or something.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: This is crazy, Like this can't happen, Like what are
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: we doing? Then Kawhi just puts the cape on, enters
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: the game, what's load management, and just goes crazy. He's
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: been dominating bro every game. Just go just go watch
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the NBA League Pass. He's just turn it on. He's dominating.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Straight domination for Kawhi Leonard and yeah, I just think
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: he saved their season. They're gonna they're gonna be a
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: scary team headed into the playoffs.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And I do think that they can get kind of close.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna necessarily get into the top six.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I do think those top six teams are all pretty good,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you know so, But I do think they can get
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to the top of the playing tournament, and that's honestly
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good spot for them. But as far
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: as some like with these teams, even in the East,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: if you want to talk about it, as far as
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: these top teams, what is something you don't like about
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: each team?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Right now? All right, I'm gonna start with OKC. I
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: guess I could I consider myself an OKC fan now
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: because I love shay Man, I love I love the team.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: My flaw with this team is they just don't have
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a ball handler, like, they don't have a second ball
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: handler out. If aj Mitchell isn't playing, the team is
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: just I don't know, the team just looks so so
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: bad when Shay's noted not handling the ball like and
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Jadub's out, and even when he was in, he was
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: he would dribble the ball up and he just take
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: these random like mid range shots, like low per sending shots.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: This this team's very confusing, and I don't like biomis.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're like bad or anything. I'm just
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: saying they're also not the best at three point shooting.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: That's probably my biggest flaw is either three point shooting
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: or the second ball handler. They don't really have a
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: ball handler to come in and allow Shade to get
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: some rest. They always feels like they have to rely
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: on him, and I feel people are dismissing that. But yeah,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that's my biggest flaw with Oklahoma City. What about you?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, I'd have to agree with the secondary
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: ball handler, Like I think this is the same problem,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the main problem, and we'll talk about in a minute
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets have. But as far as Oklahoma City
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Thunder that that secondary ball handler, it's a problem. Like
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's another guy on this team that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: can really create his own shot, Like sure, Jadup can
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: get the ball and score at score like a good
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two per game, but they've also struggled with
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: him in the lineup as well.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Because I didn't work with him in the lineup.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think if Shay's not creating mismatches, then
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Jadob's kind of an afterthought to a lot of teams.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Like I don't think he can really be that takeover,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that takeover type of player. And I do think that's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: another problem for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Like there's not
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: another player on this team that has really outplayed Shape
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: in a game, Like there has not been another player
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that's stepped up to the plate and out and outperformed Shay.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: If Shane's not having a good game, this team looks
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: like crap. Like I I I don't think that that
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: they're necessarily they're not the best team in the NBA,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: because I do think that they are the second best
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: team in the NBA, obviously to a certain team, but
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: they they definitely they definitely is that's definitely gonna be
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a pro secondary ball handler. And the lack of scoring
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: outside of shit outside of Shae, Like and I know, Ryan,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you're a big check guy, but for me, Chet on
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the offensive end is not aggressive enough. Like he is
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: not He's not putting the ball on the f and
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: really creating his own shot. And that's a problem at
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: times too, because he becomes a liability if he's not
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: hitting his three point shots or Midi's because in the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: inside he's not really dominating the game.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, as a as a
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: dude who also loves Chet, he's just he's so he's
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: up and down to me as well, Like he'll have
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: these flash flash games where he's like, oh my goodness, Chet.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: But he does thrive in the sorry the defensive side
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: in my eyes. But just not being able to score
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: alongside Say is is a bit disappointing as well as
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: lou Dort. He's taking a major step back. I think
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: his average, his points went down, his three point percentage
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: went down. He's just basically being a defender out there.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just not being able to score outside of
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: She is such a big problem. We saw it last night. Nothing,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: nothing was falling and and the wolf just took it
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: to him. You could see Dante Divinceenzo was all up
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: on Say and then not being able to pass the ball.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: It was just difficult for them to create offense. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: after that possession where Dante Divingenzo stole it from Shay Shaye,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: all he did he just drove it down the lane,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: took it up, scored, and then the next possession is
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: just like, like, what can you do? No one else
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: is scoring, So it's gonna be hard to win if
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: no one else can score outside of Shae. Yeah.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Well, for me, I guess I'm after I hate on
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: my team a little bit. What is my biggest flaw
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: with the San Antonio Spurs. Absolutely nothing, No, I'm just kidding.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like for me two things. Lack of aggressiveness
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: with big leads, Like when they have big leads, they
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: blow them because they get comfortable, they become complacent, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: they don't assert their dominance and put teams away. I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: think that is a problem because they have lost mini
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: games doing that. They have played too many close games
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: in the clutch by doing that, where they've been leading
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: by a fifteen plus ten plus twenty plus sometimes and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: they give up these major leads. And I do think
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: it comes from being a young team, but I think
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: do think we also has hurt them as well is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: lack of three point shooting. Harrison Barnes started the season
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: off hot. Jillian Champagne has moments where he has hot
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: games and then we already know Dylan Harper, Stefan Castle,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and dearon Fox. Their biggest knocks is that they are
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: not that good three point shooters. Sure, they've all kind
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: of improved, and Dylan Harper this his first year, He's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: improved a little bit too as well.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: But lack of three.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Point shooting, consistent three point shooting, and aggressiveness at times
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: has hurt this first teams in some major games that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: they probably should have won.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the three point
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: shooting as my biggest flaw, just not Uh, it's so
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: prevalent in today's game, just being able to knock down
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: these shots, and if you're not able to do that,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: then it's kind of hard to win. But what does
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: help them out is their defense. I want to give
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: them props on their defense. They're such a good defensive team.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, when you're not hitting your three point shots,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard to win games.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what about for Denver where it's your biggest
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: flaw right now?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I don't really m hmm, I don't know. It's hard
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: to It's hard to say in my opinion.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as well, Like
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that they.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Don't have right now. But they're playing good though, Like yeah, yeah,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: if anything, they don't in praise other than maybe depth,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: but that be playing good.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think depth also has to become
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a problem at times. But also
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: like I think, uh players like Peyton Watson has really
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: stepped up at times.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Especially when was out.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they've had some really good role players. Jonas
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Valanciunas before he got injured as well, was playing very
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: good basketball.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: He's playing good basketball right now.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: That's what we can say.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, injuries, the injuries would be the would be the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: problem for them end, but they're still sitting right at
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: third place, tied with one game behind the Spurs. So yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I for me, I don't really think there's a big flaw.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I just think maybe sometimes the depth and injuries can
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: be a problem, especially a shot creating. I think shot
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: creating for them could be a problem outside of Jokic
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and Jamal Murray at times.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah I agree with that. But yeah, team, I think
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: they're just a discipline veteran team. They are a good team,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: like but injuries has has riddled in this season, but
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: they're still top three, like Aaron Gordon's been out for
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: a little while. I think he got came back and
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: then he got hurt again. And the yeah, Christian Brown
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between them and the top
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: two teams, Like we know a flaw in Oklahoma City
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: and a flaw in San Antonio that has cost them games.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I just think a flaw for Denver is what we said,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: like shot creating outside of Murray and Jokic and injuries.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Because I really don't think there's a flaw.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I just think that sometimes when they get beat, they
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: just get beat, you know, like there's not there's really
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: there's not really much about it, mm hmm. As far
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: as Houston though, dude, I just feel like for me,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the two flaws lack of a point guard, Like I
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: think the lack of a point guard and creating shots
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: for others has really struggled for them, and what it
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: has results to is another problem for me. The Singoon
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant pairing, Like I I just don't think
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: that they gel well together, and I think it hurts
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the team at times because they're both guys that demand
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: the ball at the top of the key and really
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: get into Iso situations, and I do think that has
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: hurt them at times because they've become less about getting
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: others involved and more about creating their own shot. And
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I do think that showed versus the San Antonio Spurs.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: They the Spurs really took Amin out the game by
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: forcing him to shoot.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Outside of them Simmons, Yeah, outside of.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: The restricted area in the second half. They were forcing
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: him to take some tough jump shots. And then as well,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: they they just really centered the game around creating aggress
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: It plays in that second half on Kevin Durant and
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Sangun with Stefan Castle, and it really hurt them in
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: that one when they had a big lead. And I
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: think for me, that's been a problem all season is
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the Sangoon and Kevin Durant pairing, especially in the clutch,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: because they don't really know who's gonna receive, who's gonna
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: get the ball.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the point guard.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: And I feel like that's been been like their thing
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: for a while, like when Chris Paul got there, like
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: everything was solved and then the injuries happened or whatever.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: But like this also, this like modern this modern era
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: of them has also really lacked the point guard that's
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: also someday struggled with last year with fred Van fred
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Van fleets out right for the season, Like he's not
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: didn't he get hurt for the season this year?
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah? He he towards ACL in the offseason.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So like not being able to have a guard
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: who's who's just given them, uh, being able to set
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: up the offense and dish out the ball. And I
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: love Imn Thompson, but he's just not He's just not that.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Like if you're being guarded like Ben Simmons the Big
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, like what are we doing? They're just
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: letting you shoot? Like come on, we gotta I do
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: expect them to maybe like make a small, small move,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: maybe like a I don't know, just a guard who
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: can facilitate and get the offense set up. And yeah,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: that Sngoon and Katie Perrin is something that Emaadoka needs
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to figure out. He needs to get with the staff
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: and just find out like how or just even talk
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: to them like how's this gonna go down? Like one,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: it has to be one person and maybe like it
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: can be like a I don't know, but yeah, they
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: gotta figure some mount in the clutch.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I think maybe, like I know, it's kind of like
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: a random name, but maybe a move for like a
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: guy on like a Trey Jones type of level could
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: really do a lot for this team.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: All you need is like a small just yeah, it
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to be like this big name, just like
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: fred Van Fleet, like get someone of the same cal
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: like caliber, like yeah, three Jones just on the board.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I do think frederin Fleet offers a lot offensively, especially
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: with his shooting. But like I do think having a
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: peer point guard that can create space for others and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: create opportunity would do a lot for them. And I
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: think a guy on like the Trey Jones type of level,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: maybe Jose Alvarado could be a mood that they that
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: they look for. Yeah, like I do, I do think
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I don't want it to happen because I don't want
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: them to get better because I hate the Houston Rockets.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: But defens, yeah, if I were a non biased guy,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I would definitely make a move for those type of players,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: especially to add to a starting role as a point guard,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: because I do think amin the experience is cool, The
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: experiment is cool. To develop a more broad game for him,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: but that's not his role. I do think he's a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: slasher that needs someone to create, that needs to find
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: him on cuts and so where he can get to
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the rim a lot easier instead of trying to create
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: his own shot, because I do think we saw we
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: see some flaws some games where that where he is
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: trying to create his own shot and he really gets
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: picked apart because they just kind of sit in the
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: restricted area and force him to take tough jump shots.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Next for the Lakers is defense and lack of transition defense,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Like they are slow. They literally have him Luca Donchets
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and Lebron James and in the bottom five of the
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: two slowest defenders in the NBA this season, and I
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and I think that is a problem. They they more
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: athletic teams bully the Los Angeles Lakers right now.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the defense as well.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: And also I feel like their stats are like kind
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: of inflated, like they have all these top metrics, but
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think the team is that good. Like I
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: love Lebron and I like the Lakers because of Lebron,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: but this team just isn't as good as he's the
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: stats and the metrics say the defense is so bad
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: this DeAndre eight in signing, like it looked good for yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: and then like he just it's back to the same
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: DeAndre eight And like how are you gonna like come
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to La where the lights are bright, like you're trying
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to prove yourself again and you just just don't get Yeah,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: he's not trying. He doesn't here and that's been like
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the downside of DeAndre and he's so good, but like,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: how are you just not gonna try? That makes no
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: sense to me?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And I feel like the Dalton connect, like he just
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: hasn't figured it out.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Like his game is not he.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: He looked good for a second early in his rookie
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: year and then just fell.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Off, like he after the Mark Williams trade.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think having Mark Williams would do
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a lot for this team.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Like I think he's really good Phoenix.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's been and he's.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: A he's a like a he's like a twenty two
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and sixteen like his fifteen guy on any given nights,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Like I do think he has that type of potential.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think that there's a lot that
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: they're trying to force Jackson Hayes. If he's your number
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: one big man, I think that is a problem as well.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I think they're gonna be in the playoffs
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: for sure, But are they gonna do anything.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, like might get swept sad.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he playoffs.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Aggressiveness and transition defense is important in the playoffs, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: they have zero of that. Next team, Minnesota, what's your
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: biggest flaw?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: No point guard? They don't have a.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Point same as the Rockets, Bro, they.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Don't have a point guard. Yes, yeah, Mike Conley, but
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: he's the mic. We know. Yeah he's not not vent
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Mike Conley. No more. Yeah, Bro, not not Vinags Mike Conley.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: We're just we're seeing And I I would like to
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: see them make a move for the for like a
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: point guard, because I think it would elevate this team
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: and it helps Aunt a lot. I feel like, yeah,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: he can like do his own shot creation everything, but
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: it like take more of a load off him and
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: then he'd be able to exert like more of his
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: energy onto defense because I do believe he's a really
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: good defender. Just being able to have a guard who
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: can facilitate and I do think they're playing really good
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: at the moment. They're they're uh, they're playing like decently good,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: but they're just yeah, they just need a point guard.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Like the Rockets, they just lack of creation and just
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: not being able to set up the offense in a
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: way that a point guard would help them do.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's do a little bit real quick on
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, Like who, what are our biggest flaws
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: as far as Detroit, what do you think the biggest
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: flaw is?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe like they're a really good defensive team. I think
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: they just need to figure it out more on the
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: offensive side, Like, yeah, Kad Kate is doing really good,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: but then when Kate doesn't do anything, like.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's like a lot of a lot of
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder problem as well.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I who's creating when Kate isn't doing anything, Like, yeah,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: he's gonna give you like twenty five and ten, but
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: then like the Knights, he doesn't, like who's gonna step up? Uh,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: they've been talking about Jade and Ivy and Jad and
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Ivy hasn't lived up to what he's a couple of
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: years ago. Yeahh like he was supposed to be like
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: pret injury. Yeah, he was supposed to be like this
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: guy where he's like, oh my goodness, is j and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Ivy like beside kid Cunningham, Like that's what we're all
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: saying last playoffs, Like they're doing this douj andn Ivy.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Just imagine when he's back. But they're playing
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: above their standards. I feel like, like, uh, I didn't
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: expect this from them. Honestly, I expected like probably like
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: four maybe.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I think Jayalen Duran has been in pretty good surprise,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Like I know he was gonna be good, but like
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I do think that he's been pretty great defensively, He's
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: developed because game offensively, and I do think in a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: couple in the next season. By next season, he's gonna
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: be a real real problem. But as of right now,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: they don't have that secondary guy. So New York, what's
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: your biggest flaw? And for me, I think it's just complacency.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Like I do think that they lack some aggressiveness sometimes,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and it's really shown in this last month. They have
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: not been the same team as they were to start
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm a hat to go with defense and
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: also offense, Like I feel like mckel bridges is kind
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: of falling off.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not the same.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: It's like what happened to McHale Bridges, Like he's just
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: it's like he kind of disappeared and they're even talking
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: about moving him. Like if they did get you, honest,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: he'd probably been the deal. But yeah, and Kat just
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: being so inconsistent nothing. Yeah, him and Og just like
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: the only the only untouchable there would be Jalen Brunson
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and Kat just not being able to uh like guard,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Like Jalen Brunson can't guard either, but he's not inconsistent
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side, like at least he's like he's
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: gonna give you he's dominant, and then like Cat, he's
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: horrible on defense, but then on offense he's like too
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: inconsistent to be able to be a superstar. And I
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: just feel like that's hurt them so much. And at
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the season we were seeing like Mike
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Brown working like everyone and I feel like it worked,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: but then also like it doesn't help whenever, like your
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: stars aren't playing well.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah for Boston, what do you think their flaws are?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: It's point shot, Well, yeah, that doesn't make sense. Actually,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: like they they a lot of times. Yeah, how many?
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: How many threes did they shoot? I knew they last
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: year they shot like ninety, like one hundred of game.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like shooting too much. It can't get to them,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: just having to rely on the three too much. It's
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: just not not the way to win, to be honest, Toronto.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe you don't score.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like like a dominant guy, like one.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Superstar has been playing good.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but I mean a superstars like Scottie Barnes
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: is good, but like he's not a shooter, you know,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: like he can't.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Really shoot much a dominant score. But I do like
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: how Scotty's been playing.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: A team though very well.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, like just give him a guy. And
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Caulin Murray Boyles has really too, He's like a mini Scottie.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: He's really good.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Cleveland, What do you think their flaws are? Their flaws
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: are right now.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Just like maybe injuries, but also like just help Donovan Mitchell. Bro.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's falling out of his mind right now.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Like, Bro, I feel so bad. It's become doing they
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: started though. He's like so underrated at this point, bro,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Like he's just having to carry night In and night out.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I feel like Jordan Tyson looks pretty good though.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: He does look good. I like he was guarding Lebron,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: He's guarding Luca. He said, this is Donovan Mitchell City.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: He's going crazy, crazy, crazy statement. But all right, Philadelphia,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: for our last team, what do you think their biggest flaws?
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: M maybe just not being able to like fully finish
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: out games. They're they're like they're really entertained team, but
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: they're always taking it to overtime. Like I think they
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: have the most overtime games in the league. But it's like, yeah,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: but I do think that the Maxie embiid uh dynamic
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: duo's really helping them out. But yeah, I'll probably have
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: to go with like, oh, just not being able to
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: finish out games and they need to be finished out.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: For me, is Jared McCain's fall off, Like I I
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: think that's their biggest flaw right now. Like I feel
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: like Jared McCain has this rebuild, dude, I know, but
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: he had a finally a good game a couple of
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: nights ago where he dropped sixteen, But he has struggled
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: so much so much of this season, and he went
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: down in the g League and played pretty bad, but
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: then they brought him back because they needed him. So
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but hopefully he figures it out.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Dude, like feel bad for the guy. Maybe he already
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: lacks the size.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: He already lacks the size, and and he he doesn't
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: look as like good as he did last year defensively,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: so I think that's gonna probably become a problem for
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: him if he doesn't have like his peer offensive game
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: like he did last year before he got hurt and
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: then hurt again.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: So we're good.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So move on to our next topic,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and this is the This is our NBA Star All
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Star starters that have been picked already, and let me
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: see if I can pull it up share all right,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: here's who we got as of right now. In the
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, we got Giannis, Jalen Brown, Jalen Bruncy, Jayleen Bruncey,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, and Tyrese Maxi. And then for
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the Restern Conference starters, we got Stephen Curry, Luka, Doncicic,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Say Giogess, Alexander Nikola, Jokic, Victor Wibin Yama. This is
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: the first time in a long time that Lebron James
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: was not voted a starter, which is kind of crazy
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: shout out to goat but and then the reserves don't
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: get announced till Monday, till Monday night.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, Sunday, Sunday night.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So what are your reactions to the to
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: the All Star starters this year?
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I'm happy for Tyrese Maxi. He's really coming to his
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: own just being able to become this dominant scorer and
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: just leading leading this seventy six ers team to where
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: they are. And I feel like Jalen Brunson is almost
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: like a given same with the honest just probably two
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: of the let me maybe two of the three best
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: players in the East. Kate Cunningham has also emerged, and
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown just being able to do what he's done,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: with Jason Tatum out really becoming the the one of
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: this team while Jayson Tatum's out proving what he can do.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, I agree.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I think the I think the Eastern Conference starts is
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: exactly who I would have picked if I did it
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: on biasedly. I think maybe like I can't really think
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: of another person to really put into that team either. Yeah,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Like I do think this is the most perfect list
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: that they could have chosen for the Eastern Conference starters,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm really satisfied with it.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: I think Giannis.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe is just more of like a respect thing because
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: he does deserve to be and he is dominant. But
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I do think it's more of respecting to put him
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: in there because he has missed a lot of time
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and the Bucks do suck this year, so I I
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: do think maybe that might have just been more of
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: a respect type of thing. He probably could have put
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: someone else maybe in that spot. Maybe Donovan Mitchell would
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: have been good, but they also needed that big man
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: to kind of.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I do think Giannis.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Is perfectly there like he should be.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: As far as Western Conference, there may be like one
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: guy that is debateable shouldn't be in there. But I
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: do think Luka, Shay, Nikola, jokicch and Victor Wim Binyama
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: all definitely deserve to be a starter in this year's
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: was All Star Game. But I do think, like you said,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Steph is the guy, the outlier that I do think
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: maybe got forced in there a little bit.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, I do he deserves it, like he's been
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: playing really good, Like don't get me wrong, but has
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: been playing insane. I think, Yeah, he's been carrying the
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Timberwolves like this should be Ant's team to be, or
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: the Ant's team. He should be a starter over Steph Like, yes,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: that has been bawling and he's been he's got the
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: worries to where they are like with this old ad team.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I do think that should be instead of stuff.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I think, And it's been very dominant
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: this season. He's been carrying the Timberwolves at time they're
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: primarily ballhandler. Playing out of position is Anthony Edwards this year,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: And I do think losing like Nikhil Alexander Walker is
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: going on notice just a little bit like Dante Divincinzo's
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: not that secondary guy like he's been Oh what that
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: was nasty.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: By Nicola jokicch that was a crazy pass.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, uh yeah, I'm watching the Clippers in Denver
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: right now by the way to the listeners. But yeah,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I just think Stephen Curry, it's a respect thing he
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: deserves because he's Stephan Curry. But Anthony Edwards I think
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: this year at least deserved it more. Yeah, So right
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: now we're gonna look at predictions for NBA All Star
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Reserve predictions and no ads, no free advertisements.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Stop, that's not the one I wanted. Let's go look
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: at this one.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: So this is what yeahoo sports has. I think this
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: is the only real one that I could have found
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: that kind of shows like a complete like picking of Okay,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I lost it. That's crazy. There you go, Okay it is.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Here's the Eastern Conference right now, Like, look at this
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: on the surface, these reserves, like, do you have any
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: problems or do you think there's someone that should replace somebody?
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna list them out right real quick. For the
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: audio listeners, we have Donovan Mitchell, Scottie Barnes, Jalen Duran,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson, Kat Norman Powell, Derek White, Pascal Siakam. But
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: to be honest, no, I think this is right. To
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: be honest, shout out, yeah, shout.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Out Bro, you are, dude.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Talk about a guy that, like you don't expect when
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: you hit the age of thirty to like turn like yeah, yeah, bro, bro,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Bro hit his prime in the BRO So that shout
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: out Norman Powell just a pure offensive scorer that he is, Dude.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: The heat have looked so much better with him in
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: the lineup because he was out for a little bit
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: with injury, and they have really like turned it on.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: And I do think that there is some doubts in
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Tyler Harrow's future because of it. And that sounds crazy
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: to stay out loud, but it's the truth because Norman
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Powell has been.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: The truth over the last two seasons.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Like Toronto should be kicking there behind for trading him
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: to the Clippers, and the Clippers should be kicking there
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: behind for getting letting him walk. So yeah, I do
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: think that the Heat have really got a gym in
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Norman Powell.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: For me, Jayalen Durant, like.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I talked about him earlier, he's emerged as a great
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: two way player. Johnson dut dude, dude, my guy, Jalen Johnson,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: shout out Jaalen Johnson. He should really be a San
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Antonio spur ever, being completely honest, but yeah, he's done
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: so much. He does it all on all fast into
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: the game, like defensively, passing, rebounding, scoring, like he's just
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: a player. But yeah, I do think that is like
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: you thinks he's the main focus now, so the teams
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: are zero on him. Dyson Daniels, like I said, is
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: not helping the case missing all these shots.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Alexander really good.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Dude, he is ball and shout out Nick NOAs Wolfsvie dude.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: They probably either the it was between like him or Nay.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I'd probably go Nikile Alexander Walker at this point, Like
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: I think they, I mean they already lacked big man.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they I don't know, so they just be stuck
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: in the same place.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: At least I have a pure dominant two way player,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: not dominant, but pure good bench two way player or starter.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Derek White deserves it.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: He's been the secondary guy of the Boston's run right now,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: cat number two.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: In the East.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: He's still as much as we knock him, he's still
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: a top big man in the NBA. Pascal Siakam maybe
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: could have been a guy left off this list for
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: King Kahn to make it his rookie year.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Could have been Actually, yeah, I'm gonna say that I
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: agree with you on that one. Probably, Yeah, he's not
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: like maybe.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Andrew Imar's been bawling. Maybe I should person to be
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: in there too.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: On his own, it says injury replacement, Like.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: What does that mean? Is that means he's replacing somebody, or.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know who would be replacing because my boy
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: King Connie Heart.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: Let's see how they say it in here.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Who is.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know who would be here to be replacing.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Can you show me something.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know who.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: If things shake out way I've sketched them out here, maybe.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe MPG actually MPJ might be getting snubbed. To be honest,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: I probably maybe Evin Mobley or bam Hevin Mobley. I
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like Evan Mobley went down this season.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: He's better.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I think what I don't like about Evan Mobley is
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: that his offensive game has not correlated into what his
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: potentias last year.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Last year, at the beginning of the season, we're like,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, he's like taking these threes. He's like
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: he's kind of getting aggressive, like this is what we
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: want him mobile and then yeah, and then he just
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: went downhill. But if I had to replace someone to
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: probably be Pascal with either MPJ or King kN M.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: PJ has been playing really good. I expect him to
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: get moved. I just don't know where. Like, yeah, that
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: trade is kind of looking bad for the Nuggets. I'm
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: gona like Cam Johnson hasn't been playing the best.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: No, I think that that was a guy that I
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: really thought was gonna step up for them, and he
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I was hyped. I wanted Cam Johnson go to Oka,
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: see yeah, to get down that wouldn't have been met
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: at him on the Spurs as well. But I just
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: feel like he has a mission in the ball. Well.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: I think he's an out of position power forward, like
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: I think in reality he's a small forward and he's
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: playing really out of position.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: He should be a small forward. Like the way he
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: was able to play on that Suns team was just
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Oh that Sense team.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Was so so yeah, Michel was going crazy there. All right,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: let's look at the Western Conference right now. Okay, I
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: got Anthony Edwards should be in it, should be a starter.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: We got Kevin Durant, we got Kawhi, we got chet,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: we got Jamal Murray, we got Denny ed Vijia, Jimmy Butler.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a replacement there. He won't be
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: in there because he's out for the season. Devin Booker
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: is what does that mean?
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, they might they are hurt. They might be hurt.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: Because Singoon did get hurt again, I think.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, we'll like ourselves for them.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah see, okay, so we got three guys that we
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: could possibly move out of there. But I think for me,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: this top of the list makes sense, like Chet home
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Gread number one is even the NBA good, great two
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: way player, Like, he definitely deserves to be up there.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Jamal Murray, we know what he is.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Danny, I think for me, my my other guy, Denny
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: didn't get bro Danny last year emerged for me so
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: well when he went to Portland. I think Washington would
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: have had their number one option if he would have
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: stayed there, if.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: They where they were, Like, uh, we we traded him
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: because he didn't fit our timeline, bros. Twenty five? What
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: do you mean done? Just because you draft all eighteen
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: year olds doesn't mean like he doesn't fit your timeline
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: twenty five?
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: That's young, that's so dumb.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Like I just think that they got off of him
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: way too early, and he's a a great addition for
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: the thing. They got so much potential in the next
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: couple of seasons. For sure, Kevin Durant deserves it. I
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: don't really have any corals there, but in those last
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: three spots.
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Who are you putting for me?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: For me?
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: You're putting Coop already.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Bro, he's been Coop over Gin Butler. Uh, well, because
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: he's hurt. That'd be my first one. Honestly, he's been crazy.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: I love Coop, all right.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Go with your well, you know where I'm gonna go
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: with this. It's Stephan Castle.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I think Stefan Castle, Yeah, definitely serves it. Bro eighteen
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: a game, he's six in the NBA in a SI
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna be First Team All Defense this year.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: He's guarding the best player on opposing team, and San
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Dune one through four he's guarding Bro and he's just
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: he's getting the best matchup game in and game out
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: against the team's best ball handler every single game. Like
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: he's answering the bell every single time and giving people problems.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: He deserves to be an All Star this year. And
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: you can make the case for Daron Fox as well,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: but I do think that as far as like an
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: anchor on defense and playing and what he has done offensively,
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: especially with his passing, Stefan Cassell deserves to be an
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: All Star this year. In year two, coming off Rookie
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: of the Year and I do think that's gonna show
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: so much of his potential. And I do think there
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: is a case as well for Dearon Fox. I do
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: think Darren Fox, the way that he's been playing as well,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: especially scoring in the basketball and being there in the
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: clutch for the San Antonio Spurs, he deserves to be
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: there as well.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love me some Dearon Fox, but probably maybe
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert. He's been playing really He's.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: He's really good right now.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, he's been playing really good. Bro. Let me
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: see Julius Randall also he's been playing really good. He's
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: really uh, he's played really good alongside him and just
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: been able to display standings sing who I could think of? Yeah,
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I do, Bro, I'm a Dylan bro Bro Bro, Dylan
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Brooks has been playing.
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: So Dylan Brook's an All Star this year.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: No, I take coop over him, bro, Like, yeah, so good.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: The standings hurts him like this, Yeah, being nineteen and
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: twenty nine hurts him a little bit of.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Freaking Pascal siakam in there. Yeah, you're right, and you're
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: in the entire NBA. Yeah, So like, I don't know,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: but I probably mind mine would probably be like Coop.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe, do you think Almond gets in there?
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: I feel like yeah, because of the standings.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: Is san Goon in there?
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: It was when he's in there, but he's hurt, remember, Oh, yeah,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: you're right, you're right, right.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: Possibly, I think that's the list.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: I think Stephan.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Reeves if he was healthy, if he was healthy, if
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: he was healthy, Okay, I think Stefan Castle deserves to
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: be in there.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: I think, so you're gonna go Coop. I think Coop
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: does deserve as well. He's been bawling. Who else did
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: we say, Darren Fox? Do you do you think Daron
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Fox should be an All Star? I'm not mad if
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: he's not. I'm not mad if he's not.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: I think Steph deserves it more than him.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, I agree based off like he's also played more.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that well, no, he meets the
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: requirement to make it, but I don't know. It's on
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: the on the edge like he can. But I'm leaning
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: outside it now.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't really look at anyone else, honestly, maybe
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they want to get No, I'm
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: not gonna really go there. Yeah, I really don't know
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: who else I would throw on them. Maybe James Harden,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: well he's been doing Yeah, No, John, I can't really.
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: I can't really think of another big man that I
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: would throw in there.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, playing all right, I don't like, Yeah, no,
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: let's not let's not go there.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it for me. Maybe Lebron just off respect.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I was gonna say that, but I don't.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't know.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: But I don't think he even me's like, yeah, I
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: don't think he will this year, to be honest, crazy,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: he won't be an All Star. George No, yeah, you're right,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: the dog ke, but I think Lowry would probably get
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: in over him.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They both been playing really good. But the emergence
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: of Kant George is crazy. Yeah, Peter, Peter hoops.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: So for us, where are we gonna go with? So
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: for the West, the three guys that we're gonna throw
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: in there, Stephan Flag and and who's our who's our
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: last final one that we're gonna agree on?
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: Right here, go back to the thing for the apologies
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: on who's heard again it's singoon or was it the book?
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: And uh oh?
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: These are the guys that they have right here.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Trey Murphy has been playing really good. If Austin Reeveze
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: meets it, i'd put him, but I don't know.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd probably throw an Almond to be honest. Yeah,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: I'd put An Thompson in that last spot.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: Three guys.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Amend Thompson for me, would be the
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: guy that I would go with.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like he's been playing bad, really good.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: I mean he's he's gonna be first team All Defense
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Bro, that dude insane. Yeah, so his brother's underrated,
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: to be honest.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're gonna go Steph, Almend.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: And and Coop.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I think those are good. That's a good three. I
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: like that three that we're gonna do. Three young guys
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: in this NBA. I'm gonna get into the All Star
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Game for us. Yeah, So what else can we talk
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: about today? What else should we talk about? I really
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: don't know any any anything juice you want to talk about?
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Who were who are your top guys to like or
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: who are players you would like to see get traded
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: get traded? I would say it's like probably the like
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: the Pelicans team bro, like Trey Murphy, herb Jones like,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: like he's playing really good right now. He has a
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: really good shot. But my top would probably be Trey Murphy,
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: like obviously we all want you. Yeah, it's like a
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: track cancer dude.
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, truck answer truck, Like put it in a marker.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: Definitely Zion to like a top team, you know.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: I would like to see him go to l A,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Like maybe LA goes Zion, not the Lakers Clippers, Clippers,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: l A Clippers, Like I do think the l A
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Clippers could make a good, good move for him and
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: really like maybe established like a good outlook on their future.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: But I like Trey Murphy.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: I think Trey Murphy if he gets he's a guy
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: that can fit into any system anywhere he goes and
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: play basketball, and he can maybe put a team over
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: the top to be a championship contender.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: Guys, Okay, I like to see him on Okay, see
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: bro Yeah, with his shooting and then his defense. I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: would like to see him on the Spurs as well.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Like I I just don't think that giving up Kelly Ollenic,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Sohan, I don't want to see Caldon Johnson or
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Devin vesselgo like I do think I want to still
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: make a run with this team. So for me, I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to give the assets for him
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: because I know they're gonna want draft picks contracts that match,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: and that's gonna suck because they're gonna let go of
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: some guy that I don't want them to let go of.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe Houston, they just still be in the same problem
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: they're in right now.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: Minutes. No, maybe makes sense.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: But then they'd have to, like they'd have to either
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: give up Nas or McDaniels. And I don't think they
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: want to do that.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true, Yeah, I feel like Oklahoma City could make
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: a real push for him. Maybe maybe if Phoenix wants
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: to get off of Jalen Green early.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been injured. Portland, I don't think they blow
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: up anything for him. Yeah, I don't think Portland would
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think Detroit makes a real move.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe New York makes a low key move for him,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: like maybe Bridges. Oh yeah, I was gonna say they
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: just have add another wing, but they would g it
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: off one of them.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Boston, I think they're gonna hold out like I think Boston.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like they like if I'm Boston, I feel.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: They're satisfied Cleveland can't make a real move. Yeah, I
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: just think they're gonna. I think the prize for Trey
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: Murphy is too high for a lot of teams.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Like, like that's such a coveted like archetype, Like he's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: an elite three and D player.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Dude, A low key guy that I want to see
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: get moved is Bobby Porter's.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I think Bobby Porters could be a good addition to
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I've been I see off about like him going to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, which I think would be good. Yeah, they
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: need big man help bad Jackson Hayes bro come on, man, Yeah,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: maybe the Magic could make a move for somebody. I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: don't know who. Do you think, though, Like you need
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: to figure out this Dynastics they have like something top
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: NBA trade tar I was so wrong about the plover Kade.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: I think I think Franz is better than Paulo Bro.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: I said that and someone thought it was crazy.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Fonso like Magic, the Magic are at the be end
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: of the season when Paula was out. They were literally
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: like a better team without Paulo than they were.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: I think Joe should be a good trade target.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: For is good like that like that low key.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're gonna move Jeremie so hand for sure.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know for what pick dude, I don't know, like.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: No, not at this point.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe a late first, maybe late first to a team.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: I hope we could get a first. Herb Jones would
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: be good to to go to three and d would
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: be kind of good. I talk about watching it is
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: not getting moved.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Watch getting damn, he's staying there, Bro Sam what's his name,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Sam Adelman? No, that's his dad, Greman. He's such a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: good coach.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Nope, Rick is his dad, honestly, honest, I mean we
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: already talked about that earlier.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior could still be on the move.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, I do think he's going to be on
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: the move. I just don't know to who, like maybe
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: the Warriors, but like I don't know. I just people
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: are saying to get dead like he is.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: They're not moving him.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: No, they're not moving After what, he's a young player.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: The Lakers should have kept Zoobach, imagine, I don't know
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: if he would have developed the same, to be honest.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe not. Do you think ad gets moved? No, I don't.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: I think they said maybe maybe, But I don't know
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: who they would move him for. I think a lot
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: of teams may be out on the eighty sweepstakes right now.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: It's so sad, bro like inconsistentness.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: He'd be so good, he wasn't so injury pro like.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: He already made.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: As a guy that could get moved.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: That makes sense. He's a really good player. Do you
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: think Jah gets moved?
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: No, who's gonna take on job?
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: Bro? Like, I don't.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know Yah on their team.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: The Timberwolves. I don't think timber Wolves. We could have
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards. Maybe this is a guy that they.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: Could kind of like just they're probably just gonna sit
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: onto the contracts over That.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: Makes sense, Rob Dillingham, I don't even know. But they
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: don't even give him minutes? Yeah, I don't think so, Bro,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: What would you get for him? Like a second? Would
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: they didn't give up a second.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: To see I'm trying to see the Troit's not gonna
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: trade nobody. I think Nick Klaxon ming kaminga for the Warriors.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, but I don't know, Bro. It makes me
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: so bad they've destroyed his trade value to be honest, Bro,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: they're destroying his career. Like I feel so bad for
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: the guy, Like he came into the league, like whoa
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: was five five years ago? Yeah, bro, I think he
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: was eighteen. He's twenty three now and they're just getting
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: me off, bro, just getting him DMPs because he doesn't
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: like him, Like this is worse than the Kevin Stefanski
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: shador thing, Like this is bad. I feel so bad
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: for Johnathankmika. He needs to go to a spot where
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: because I do he's appreciated. Yeah, Bro, I feel like
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: if he's able to, they're able to like let him
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: ride like rock out. I think maybe like a Zion light.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: And I think the Pelicans just have really all the
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: trade assets they do. I don't really say you want to. Yeah,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: I don't really see anyone.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: They have a lot of guys that a lot of
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: teams could need in specific roles.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: I've been seeing like really in Dulton Connect, Like.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't seen Connect, but I think a lot
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: of teams are out on Connect right now. I just
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: feel like his offensive game has not translated and he's
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: a cone on defense. So I don't I don't really
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: Daniel Gafford, Oh, Gafford's a good one, but Lively's hurt. Like,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: do you think they move on and especially they're looking
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: to trade.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: A d uh? Probably not no more. Maybe Moses Moody.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: I like, where do you think Lively is at? Do
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: you think he's still in the future plans for the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks right now?
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know really. I think he's so good, but
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: like I think he's kind of obsolete. Yeah, true, Like
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: he really shined when he was with Luca, Like I
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: think he was like they ranked, like the NBA ranked
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: him like top fifty, like when he was a Luca.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy. Yeah.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: I can't really think of another guy that that would
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: get traded me I would mean something at least.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, Benedict mathern Oh, I like that one.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like they could really get some Assily as
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: a bench.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: Scorer for some teams. I think he's a pure bench
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: six man.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Have you funk treatment? Have you been seeing stuff about
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: nausey Marshall. I've been seeing a lot of stuff boun
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: he's really been playing himself into like.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: A my Nausey Marshall knowledge isn't up there. To be
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: honest with you, I like Nausey Marshall.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's played himself into being like a
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: top trade candidate and if they're able to get back
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: maybe like two first for him. He's been playing that good.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: He's been playing like lights out. So whatever you can
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: get for Nausey Marshall, I think I take that, yeah
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: Let me think.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Terrence Shannon Junior tech Legend.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Bro Terrence Shannon Junior shout out, shout out, shout out
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: text this tech by the way, shout out to Christian Anderson,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: shout out JP bro.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow is going to be like one of the most
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: anticipated matchups, like of like college basketball. Maybe ever, AJ Debondsta,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: you want to talk a little bit about the rookies
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: or something for next year? Yes?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Who who's number one for you?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: I think Cavin Boozers kind of worked his way out
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: of being like that top two guy. Like I think
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: there's definitely what's his name from Kansas just for Daron Peterson,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Aaron Peterson and AJ debon Star one and two right now.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: I do think the biggest knock on Boozer right now
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: is the lack of athleticism. I think the lack of
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: speeding athleticism.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes it kind of slow.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like he's kind of he's more like a
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: compact big man.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is compact, but also like just the way
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: he's able to like score and be able to like
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: he's a really good passer. He's an under Yeah for sure.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: I just think, uh, just these top two are just
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: so good to me, Like even before, like people are
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: saying this, I had the bonds to two, like we
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: had talked about it, I'd take Darren Peterson one, and
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: I'm really hoping that it's the Pacers that get the
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: number one pick, so they compare a j or I
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: mean Darren Peterson up with Tyre's Halliburn, because that's what
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: that's what like scoring guards need, they need that one
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: guy who's like able to dish it out, Like look
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: at CP three and James Harden, Like just being able
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: to have that guy who who's just right by your side.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: It's just like it's awesome. Who was it Jerry Weston Magic?
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: No am I getting stuff mixed up? No? Uh for
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: for what I'm sorry, was a really good passing guard
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: and a really good score. I don't know that was
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: bad guys.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Caleb Wilson works his way up to that
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: top three spot as well.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: I think he's four. I think I still think cam
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: Busier goes he's clear four.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: No, I think he still goes three as well.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: I just don't feel like when the athletic profile comes through,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a kind of a problem for a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: lot of teams.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: No, and I I love Caleb Wilson. He's a really
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: good player. I just think this whole draft class, like
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: I was watching the Tech, the Tech in the the Houstons.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Do you think he comes out after this season or
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: he stays another I think he is kind.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: Of or I think he comes out. He's gonna him
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: and Topping are projected to get drafted like Christian Anderson later,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like to earlier fall. I think so too.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: Who's Christian Broom. I think he's gonna get that Christian
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Broom treatment. Brom whatever his name is from that played
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: for Auburn.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Last year?
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, Jany Broom, Johnny, Yeah, Jani Broom him, I'm I
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: went blank. I don't think he's gonna get that type
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: of treatment because, like I do think their lack of
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: ability to shoot the basketball is gonna be a problem, and.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: He my problem with I love Jakes to Hopkins, don't
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: get me wrong, but like my problem with him with
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: him is like you know what he's gonna do, Like
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they don't start. All he does
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: is he gets to the right shoulder and hits the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: left hook. That's all he does. Like I loved, I
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: love jaj Tom, Don't get me wrong, but that's that's
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: like a sign of like this kind of a weakness
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. But I like go to Tankathon and
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: I always look at like where he'll get drafted. I
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: always see him gtting drafted to like the Pistons, and
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: I feel like that'd be good in my opinion.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: I think I think right now, like Christian Anderson, Like
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: for me, this's gonna sound like a bad comp in hindsight,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: but like coming out of the draft, I do think
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: he shows a lot of like what Malachi Brandham brought
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: to the out out of college. Like Malachai Brannon was
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: like a pure twenty point per game scorer in college
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: and like five, five or six isss per game, and
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: that's almost exactly what Christian Anderson.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: Is doing and out, Yeah, I feel I do think
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: he's better.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: I do think he's a little bit better, especially at
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: creating his own shots, so he could go a little
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: bit high. I do think he's gonna work himself up
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: towards it when the draft starts getting a little bit
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: more closer.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: So, dude, I really want him to.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: But I feel like I don't think he should be
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: a better, more more sought after prospect than J. C.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: Topping By. I think so too. I think so too.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: After those top four, I think next one is either
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Michael Brown Junior from Louisville or Kingston Flemings. Just Kingston Fleming.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: He just kind of lacks size, but Houston to score, dude, Yeah,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: his ability to Scoorge Trey Johnson. To be honest, he
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: went crazy against Tech bro mckail Brown junior.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: Bro just won that game.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: But who won that baby?
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: Tech won that game.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: Mckail Brown Junior. Just his ability to be able to
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: facilitate and he's a. He's A. He probably needs to
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: develop his shot a little more, but I think he's
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: really good.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: What about that boy, Coed Pete? What do you think
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: about Coe Pete?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: I like Cole Pete a lot, but I think he just.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: He's been rising a couple of spots a little bit
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: like he was. I think right outside the lottery. Where's
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: kJ lewis going?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: By the way, just kidding, She's playing good at Georgetown
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: Brother Day. He should have came out his freshman year.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, Why Native Mint? You like
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Native Mint? He's a really like lanky lanky I'm not sure.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know much about him from Tennessee.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: Jaden is also a big guy.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: Is Paige's son not going to come out this year?
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. But Paige's Andredge and Stojakovic.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: That dude's a dog. I know. Yakale Lindenberg, he's projected
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: like lottery.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: You hurt him.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: He's just an older prospect. He's twenty three, but he's
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: really good in the new modern like in c double A. Like.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: I do think a lot of these older basketball players
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: that are a lot more developed are going to be
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: sought after quite a bit. Like I I do think
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: that teams that are wanting to win now are going
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: to look at those guys to really add depth to their.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Kind of like Cedric Coward, Yeah, Cedric cow.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: Me not hurt, but he was balling pretty good.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: I think my favorite guard out of this whole draft
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: is probably Darius A. Cuff from Arkansas, especially being with
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: coach Cal Like, dude, dude, I feel is going to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: be the next like like how Kentucky was. It's just
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: gonna be afansa now just being able to produce these
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: guards because of what.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: About that dude? He went off for Creighton last year?
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: He was like their pure scorer point guard.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: He went with his coach to was it Creighton?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: To what was his name? Bro? He followed his coach?
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he followed his coach. You know what I'm talking about?
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: Blank from Crazy? Yeah?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: Or was it just Ryan Kolkerbrenner.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Oh No, I'm trying to think. I think this kJ
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: Lewsi's project is the number forty six player on here,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: but I think the wrong guy. I think this class
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: is gonna be one of the most sought after classes.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna go down as one of debatably
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: like this class is really deep. They have at twenty
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: five Keaton Woggler. This dude is such a good He's
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: six six at guard. He dropped I think it was
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: like forty six against Perdue or something like just his
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: shot making. He was pulling up from three side step threes.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: This dude was going crazy. Just being able to have
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: have this size and be able to do what you
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: want as a score is really valuable in the NBA.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: And I think with his size it's going to be
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit not saying he's gonna be like the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: best defensive player, but at that size it's easier to
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: be able to teach staff. That makes sense.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to see if I can pull up
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: this last year's bracket. Just see if he pops up
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: in my brain.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: And the Baylor. The Baylor guards the air pretty good,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Cameron car and Ton Dea, Yesifu Tonday Yesterfu. He's like
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: I saw videos of him last year and he was
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: like wearing number five and he had the like armband on.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: The dude looked like exactly like like amp And I
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: think that's like kind of like his trajectory is probably.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: Like, dude, he was a lot higher.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like a like a smaller or not smaller, Like
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: he's the same size, he's six', five but like just
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: that wing wing three and d defender that that people
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: love in The NEW nba because if you have a
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: three AND d wing, defender that's probably my, favorite like. Archetype,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: yeah it's just beautiful and one DUDE i really. Like
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: Also Isaiah evans From. Duke he's like that dude's a, Shooter,

• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: to shoot and get, open shoot off the, dribble shoot
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: off the, catch it doesn't. Matter and he's also a
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: six six guards highly coveted in this. League but, Yeah
