Speaker 1: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome back to another episode, episode number one,
0:04
Speaker 1: oweight of the so called Sports Channelists. And Josh he
0:07
Speaker 1: isn't here today. He's a little bit busy. So this
0:09
Speaker 1: is gonna be a solo pod, first one that we're doing,
0:12
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be experimenting, so some episodes you're gonna
0:15
Speaker 1: be hearing some of Josh by himself or some of
0:17
Speaker 1: me by myself, but just so we get more episodes
0:20
Speaker 1: out to you guys. But again, before we start, find
0:23
Speaker 1: us on Twitter at Flying Garcia one hundred, underscore on
0:25
Speaker 1: Finals zero three. Find us on Twitch, Discord, TikTok, Instagram,
0:29
Speaker 1: and YouTube under TSCSA with the so called Sports Channelist.
0:32
Speaker 1: And whether you listen to us this another day or not,
0:35
Speaker 1: we appreciate it and make sure you share this to
0:37
Speaker 1: anybody that likes sports. But all right, so the main
0:41
Speaker 1: reason why I wanted to get a solo pod out
0:43
Speaker 1: for y'all today was there's just a bunch of talk
0:46
Speaker 1: about and if we wait another week or so, it's
0:49
Speaker 1: gonna just build up and build up and build up,
0:50
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be up end up being this long episode.
0:53
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just give kind of like a quick
0:56
Speaker 1: preview as far as what I'm gonna talk about. So
0:58
Speaker 1: obviously the playoff picture, NBA basketball, each series, how it's going,
1:01
Speaker 1: what do I think from it. Then I'm gonna talk
1:04
Speaker 1: about the NBA Draft lottery, which did happen yesterday and
1:07
Speaker 1: pretty crazy, crazy things that happened and what could potentially happen.
1:12
Speaker 1: Then then I'm gonna talk about the new newscast with
1:15
Speaker 1: NBC and Michael Jordan potentially being on there, what it
1:18
Speaker 1: could be for the direction of talking basketball. And then lastly,
1:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna end with the NBA hoop grid here. I
1:24
Speaker 1: know Josh's been carrying a little bit on the hoop grid,
1:26
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna show my ball knowledge here towards the
1:29
Speaker 1: very end. But all right, let's go and get into it.
1:32
Speaker 1: So this first series that I'm gonna talk about right
1:35
Speaker 1: here is the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics,
1:38
Speaker 1: which is a series I'm pretty sure ninety nine point
1:41
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of all people did not expect this
1:44
Speaker 1: to happen like this. So the New York Knicks the
1:47
Speaker 1: first two games, were down twenty plus points in Boston,
1:50
Speaker 1: came back and won game three, the Boston Celtics shot
1:54
Speaker 1: shot the lights out of the gym, beat the Knicks
1:56
Speaker 1: by I don't even know. It was a lot. Then
1:58
Speaker 1: this last game, Game four, Boston they were up fourteen
2:03
Speaker 1: and then the Knicks they end up coming back. But
2:05
Speaker 1: obviously the biggest news to take away from this game
2:08
Speaker 1: is Jason Tatum. There's nothing on it as of It's
2:11
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock when I'm recording on the thirteenth, so there's
2:14
Speaker 1: nothing that I've seen, no news reports, know nothing as
2:17
Speaker 1: far as Jason Tatum, but it looked like I'm hopefully
2:19
Speaker 1: not hopefully it's not as serious, but a torn achilles
2:22
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like. So a drastic change in
2:27
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics, and I kind of want to take
2:29
Speaker 1: it a different direction. So I just want to kind
2:31
Speaker 1: of say Nick right, he's the one that brought this
2:33
Speaker 1: up and it was pretty interesting and I kind of
2:35
Speaker 1: agree with it. So I don't think that the Celtics
2:39
Speaker 1: would have won Game four and tied up the series
2:41
Speaker 1: yesterday because it was one to eleven, one oh four
2:44
Speaker 1: with three zero six left in the game, and the
2:46
Speaker 1: Knicks it looked like they had complete momentum. No matter what,
2:49
Speaker 1: they couldn't buy a bucket. The last three to four minutes,
2:52
Speaker 1: the Celtics and the Knicks were starting to take over.
2:54
Speaker 1: So I still think they would have went up three
2:57
Speaker 1: to one. But what Nick Wright said and it was
2:59
Speaker 1: very interesting. That's why I wanted to bring it up
3:02
Speaker 1: as far as this may be the last time you
3:05
Speaker 1: see the Boston Celtics constructed as they are today, because
3:10
Speaker 1: I even mentioned in last episode the Celtics they kind
3:13
Speaker 1: of want to revamp everything because new ownership, new group,
3:17
Speaker 1: They kind of want to change around. They don't want
3:19
Speaker 1: to get into the second third a brnds of potential
3:21
Speaker 1: penalties that they may face. So this is the last time,
3:26
Speaker 1: if let's just say, let's go off of Jason Tatum
3:29
Speaker 1: having a torn achilles, this is going to be the
3:31
Speaker 1: last time you see the fully loaded Boston Celtics with
3:35
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday, Derek White, Christapsportszingis, Jayalen Brown, Peyton Pritchard, all
3:39
Speaker 1: these guys all around this super team that they not superteam,
3:44
Speaker 1: but this ultra talented team that they have. And it's
3:47
Speaker 1: drastic because if Jason Tatum has his torn achilles, even
3:51
Speaker 1: if they running back next year with his exact same
3:53
Speaker 1: roster and could still compete. Then you're still not gonna
3:58
Speaker 1: have your main guy, Jason Tatum, which in my opinion
4:01
Speaker 1: was the top five player and played his absolutely best
4:04
Speaker 1: game I believe yesterday since his Milwaukee Game six and
4:08
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two something along those lines. So I just
4:12
Speaker 1: think that this is drastic because this doesn't affect this
4:16
Speaker 1: series right here, because like I said, I thought the
4:19
Speaker 1: Knicks were gonna win Game four no matter what. But
4:21
Speaker 1: as far as this long term build of this team
4:24
Speaker 1: right here, you might not even see Jason Tatum and
4:27
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown ever on the court again if they trade him,
4:30
Speaker 1: because Jalen Brown's seventy million dollar contract I believes kicking
4:34
Speaker 1: in either next year or the following year after that.
4:37
Speaker 1: Then christadsporzingis he's gonna want a contract, and he's been
4:40
Speaker 1: the main guy as far as that's been looking to
4:43
Speaker 1: be traded. Drew Holliday is gonna want some money, Derek
4:45
Speaker 1: White's gonna want some money. So obviously you can't keep
4:49
Speaker 1: all these guys twenty five thirty million dollars for five
4:53
Speaker 1: six players on a payroll. That's just impossible, no matter
4:57
Speaker 1: how much the NBA salary cap is increasing. I just
5:01
Speaker 1: think that it's definitely sad as far as what happened.
5:04
Speaker 1: But I just think that who knows if Tatum is
5:08
Speaker 1: gonna ever bounce back the same. I know he's reaching
5:11
Speaker 1: the peak of his powers at twenty eight, but it's
5:13
Speaker 1: a torn achilles And is this gonna affect him defensively
5:17
Speaker 1: or him driving to the rack? I don't think it's
5:19
Speaker 1: gonna infect all of his intangibles as far as being
5:22
Speaker 1: a good playmaker, being a good off ball defender, I
5:25
Speaker 1: don't think it's anything along those lines. But just as
5:29
Speaker 1: far as can he reach that top he was kind
5:33
Speaker 1: of on the brink of being a top three player
5:35
Speaker 1: in the league. Can he go back to being that
5:38
Speaker 1: top three player in the league if he has his
5:40
Speaker 1: torn achilles? But as far as just with this game
5:44
Speaker 1: right here or just overall from this series, I think
5:47
Speaker 1: it's showing something that even I kind of think of
5:50
Speaker 1: too much right here analytical basketball. So the first two
5:54
Speaker 1: games were a perfect example why as far as analytics,
5:57
Speaker 1: they don't show a full story of a basketball game. So, yes,
6:02
Speaker 1: threes are greater than twos, and if more likely you
6:04
Speaker 1: shoot more or if you shoot more than threes than
6:06
Speaker 1: the other team, you're more likely to win. Yes, I
6:09
Speaker 1: get that, but it just seemed like it was a
6:11
Speaker 1: math equation for the Celtics. Let's shoot more threes than
6:14
Speaker 1: the other team, and yes, you're gonna end up with
6:16
Speaker 1: sixty wins. Yes you may have success in the playoffs
6:19
Speaker 1: and win a championship. Yes there's nothing wrong. But eventually
6:23
Speaker 1: it the psychology of the game, the fill of the game,
6:26
Speaker 1: the pressure point moments. Analytics doesn't account for that, and
6:31
Speaker 1: just the first two games. Jalen Brunson also, that's another
6:34
Speaker 1: thing right here. Jalen Brunton has delivered in every single
6:37
Speaker 1: clutch situation this year in the playoffs, I believe, three
6:42
Speaker 1: times against Detroit and already three times against Boston. I
6:45
Speaker 1: think this is something that's unheard of right here. As
6:48
Speaker 1: far as I know, There's been clutch players in the league.
6:51
Speaker 1: For sure, you have Lebron, Kobe Jordan, those guys on
6:55
Speaker 1: that level. But Jalen Brunton in this playoff run, has
6:59
Speaker 1: delivered an every clutch spot and he's he was a
7:03
Speaker 1: clutch Player of the Year for a reason. But this
7:05
Speaker 1: is just different levels to this. There's levels to this,
7:09
Speaker 1: and he's just on a different pace. And I believe
7:12
Speaker 1: he dropped thirty nine and eleven assists yesterday with one turnover.
7:16
Speaker 1: It's something ridiculous. The Boston Celtics, even without Jason Tatum,
7:20
Speaker 1: what he was in majority of the game is one
7:23
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the league because they could
7:25
Speaker 1: damn near switch every person. Even Al Horford, He's a
7:28
Speaker 1: good defender. Christop's not the best, but still a good defender.
7:32
Speaker 1: So for Jalen Brunson to be doing this on a
7:35
Speaker 1: consistent basis really against the Celtics, it's just showing how
7:38
Speaker 1: great he is. And I just think that the Celtics.
7:43
Speaker 1: I wrote this down before when I was taking my
7:45
Speaker 1: notes before. As far as Jason Tatum got hurt the Celtics,
7:49
Speaker 1: they have a Mike Tyson type quality to him, like attitude.
7:54
Speaker 1: If you get in the ring with them and they
7:57
Speaker 1: can knock you out really early with them, they'll first
8:00
Speaker 1: five rounds and you could be done for. But if
8:03
Speaker 1: you're like Buster Douglas, if you just sit around, you
8:06
Speaker 1: just throw punches back and forth, avoid that knockout blow.
8:09
Speaker 1: You just keep fighting, keep fighting. You get into that tenth, eleven,
8:12
Speaker 1: twelfth round, then you could knock them out. Same way
8:15
Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson. If you just go the distance with them,
8:18
Speaker 1: you have a greater shot. And that's just how it
8:21
Speaker 1: is with the Celtics right here. And that's what happened
8:25
Speaker 1: these three games at the Knicks one. It's just the Knicks.
8:27
Speaker 1: They hung in there, even if they were down double
8:30
Speaker 1: digit points, they hung in there, they kept fighting, and
8:33
Speaker 1: they just knocked them out laid in the clutch because
8:36
Speaker 1: I already talked about Jalen bruntson but the Celtics again,
8:40
Speaker 1: so if you're just shooting threes the entire game, you
8:42
Speaker 1: really don't have a feel. And that's just a different
8:44
Speaker 1: thing with basketball. You need to have a feel. You
8:47
Speaker 1: need to have a rhythm in those clutch moments or else. Honestly,
8:51
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how wide open you could get. If
8:53
Speaker 1: you don't have that feel, if you don't have that
8:54
Speaker 1: rhythm going, then you're gonna miss those shots. And I
8:58
Speaker 1: think yesterday was a perfect example. So the Knicks, they
9:02
Speaker 1: played a very scary defensive strategy yesterday. So as far
9:06
Speaker 1: as the Celtic or what they did to the Celtics,
9:08
Speaker 1: they made a real iso ball and they didn't allow
9:12
Speaker 1: the drives they were selling out on the drives. So
9:14
Speaker 1: what that led to was just io ball with Jalen
9:17
Speaker 1: Brown Jason Tatum, and they were shooting tough, contested threes
9:21
Speaker 1: and just shots in general. And Jason Tatum had a
9:24
Speaker 1: going and sometimes you just have to live with that.
9:26
Speaker 1: But what happened late in the game, whenever they weren't
9:30
Speaker 1: getting those easy drives, it was tough jumpers. And honestly,
9:34
Speaker 1: if they make those tough jumpers in the clutch, you
9:36
Speaker 1: just have to tip your hat to it. There's nothing
9:38
Speaker 1: you could really do, just play good defense and that's it.
9:41
Speaker 1: And it just so happens Jason Tatum goes down and
9:44
Speaker 1: he was the only one who really had a rhythm
9:46
Speaker 1: in the game. So after those three minutes or the
9:49
Speaker 1: last three minutes, the Celtics they just shut down. They
9:53
Speaker 1: just shut down. They couldn't get anything going offensively. But
9:57
Speaker 1: I just think I definitely don't think this series is
10:00
Speaker 1: over yet because the Boston Celtics are more than talented
10:03
Speaker 1: enough as far as with Jaylen Brown, Drew Holiday, all
10:07
Speaker 1: those guys that I mentioned, they could definitely win in Boston.
10:11
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna pick Boston in Game five. But
10:14
Speaker 1: I think New York closed this out in six right here,
10:17
Speaker 1: if I had to get to give another prediction, which
10:19
Speaker 1: is so crazy, because I had the Celtics sweeping the
10:23
Speaker 1: Knicks year, and I'll admit when I'm wrong. I thought
10:26
Speaker 1: that the Celtics were gonna dominate this and from the
10:29
Speaker 1: looks of it, from three out of these or actually
10:32
Speaker 1: all of these games, they showed the reason or the
10:35
Speaker 1: superpower how they could sweep the New York Knicks. They
10:39
Speaker 1: just let them back into the ballgame and just couldn't
10:42
Speaker 1: deliver in the clutch. That's what it was. They showed
10:47
Speaker 1: that the or the Celtics showed that majority of the
10:50
Speaker 1: time they are the better team, but you have to
10:52
Speaker 1: play four quarters, full full, four quarters full, twelve minutes
10:56
Speaker 1: of basketball, and that's just what the New York Knicks did.
10:59
Speaker 1: And I just think that as far as with the
11:02
Speaker 1: Knicks side right here, I just think that this is
11:05
Speaker 1: very interesting now for the Knicks because obviously Jalen Brunson
11:08
Speaker 1: is on that amazing contract. I think till like twenty
11:11
Speaker 1: thirty something like that, Kat's gonna get an extension. I
11:14
Speaker 1: believe Og got an extension. Mickel Bridges, He's gonna get
11:17
Speaker 1: an extension. I think that obviously like revisionist history. Now
11:23
Speaker 1: you've seeing the trade that they made. I feel like
11:27
Speaker 1: now next year, with Tatum's availability might not be in there,
11:34
Speaker 1: they have a real shot to come back next year
11:36
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference Finals. So I just think that
11:40
Speaker 1: what the Knicks are doing and if the Pacers win,
11:43
Speaker 1: if the Pacers win, which I'm gonna get into that
11:45
Speaker 1: next they can have home court in the Eastern Conference
11:48
Speaker 1: Finals and they have a real shot, a very real
11:51
Speaker 1: shot of making it to the NBA of the NBA Finals.
11:54
Speaker 1: Because now that Jason Tatum's out, Jalen Brunson is the
11:59
Speaker 1: best player in the Eastern Conference. He is by far
12:02
Speaker 1: the one remaining out of the four teams remaining. Jenleen
12:05
Speaker 1: Brunson is the best player in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
12:07
Speaker 1: So that leaves you with the superpower of we have
12:12
Speaker 1: the best player and you don't. And all right, with
12:15
Speaker 1: that being said, let me go in and get into
12:18
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. So I picked
12:23
Speaker 1: the Cavs in seven games here right here, and honestly,
12:27
Speaker 1: I still think that it can go seven games. But
12:31
Speaker 1: I want to give Flowers to the Pacers. Here the Pacers,
12:34
Speaker 1: I said this since January first. I read these stats
12:36
Speaker 1: several weeks ago that they've been one of the best
12:39
Speaker 1: net rating teams, one of the best offenses, one of
12:41
Speaker 1: the best defenses. They've had a top or they've had
12:44
Speaker 1: the eighth best defense since January first, and that was
12:48
Speaker 1: their biggest problem. We knew that the Pacers could score,
12:51
Speaker 1: but it could you stop anybody. And they didn't make
12:54
Speaker 1: any real personnel changes in the offseason, so we didn't
12:59
Speaker 1: think that they can make that jump. But they made
13:02
Speaker 1: that jump with the same personnel. And also another thing
13:06
Speaker 1: is Tyre's Halliburn. You could say maybe because he's healthy
13:09
Speaker 1: this year in the playoffs, he's playing at a superstar
13:12
Speaker 1: level and he was kind of on that fringe outside
13:15
Speaker 1: of the top ten. But I think how he's been
13:19
Speaker 1: playing this playoffs, and if he makes it to the
13:21
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, then he's a top ten. He has
13:24
Speaker 1: to be a top ten player. I know how the Pacers,
13:27
Speaker 1: they run their offense, and it's just it's just amazing
13:31
Speaker 1: what they do. But somebody has to control the ship.
13:35
Speaker 1: And there's been time after time after time in Game
13:38
Speaker 1: one of this series in Game five of the Pacers
13:41
Speaker 1: and Bucks series, Tyre's Halliburn took over. And I know
13:46
Speaker 1: there's some games like how on Sunday where Tyreeves only
13:50
Speaker 1: had I think like six points in the first half,
13:53
Speaker 1: But he's just that dynamic of the player. He doesn't
13:55
Speaker 1: need the he doesn't need to score to make an
13:58
Speaker 1: impact on the game. And I think, honestly, after watching
14:04
Speaker 1: this what they're able to do to the Cavs, because
14:05
Speaker 1: I thought the Calves were a legit playoff team and
14:09
Speaker 1: NBA Finals contender. I think the Pacers they could win
14:13
Speaker 1: the Finals two because if they're doing this to the Cavaliers,
14:17
Speaker 1: who've had the best offense in the regular season, and
14:21
Speaker 1: even the first four games against Miami they had the
14:24
Speaker 1: best offense overall, and the Pacers have been able to
14:28
Speaker 1: slow them down substantially and still be able to score
14:31
Speaker 1: a bunch of points because the Calves are still a
14:33
Speaker 1: top ten defense, so they're still going up against the
14:37
Speaker 1: best players. I know that there's been injuries Darius Garland,
14:40
Speaker 1: Evan Mobley, DeAndre Hunter, but they were back. They were
14:43
Speaker 1: back for Game four and the Pacers just blew them
14:46
Speaker 1: out the water. So I think something kind of similar
14:51
Speaker 1: so with the Knicks and Celtics. I think that Cleveland
14:54
Speaker 1: they win tonight versus the Pacers, but I think the
14:56
Speaker 1: Pacers they closed it out in six. But this is
15:00
Speaker 1: the only real one that's three to one that I
15:02
Speaker 1: could see going to Game seven and maybe maybe a
15:07
Speaker 1: three to one comeback, but even at that I highly
15:10
Speaker 1: doubt it. I don't think that the Pacers they're going
15:12
Speaker 1: to have three off games and where they're not shooting
15:16
Speaker 1: the ball well, I just think there's no way for
15:18
Speaker 1: that to happen, even if they win tonight. So as
15:21
Speaker 1: far as with the Cavs here, this is a very
15:25
Speaker 1: disappointing season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. So the Cavaliers throughout
15:30
Speaker 1: the entirety of the year were looked at as one
15:33
Speaker 1: of the best teams, if not the best team. Right there,
15:35
Speaker 1: then with OKC won sixty four games this year, Donovan
15:39
Speaker 1: Mitchell is most likely going to be first team All NBA.
15:42
Speaker 1: There's Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Defensive Player of the Year,
15:45
Speaker 1: Jared Allen, all those guys, and then the bench step
15:48
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Kenny Atkinson Coach of the Year. Just
15:52
Speaker 1: for you to be underwhelming in the playoffs. So again,
15:57
Speaker 1: I know there's injuries, but you have more than another talent.
16:00
Speaker 1: And then Game one, I feel like that just changed
16:03
Speaker 1: the whole series here. That's that's really the difference. If
16:06
Speaker 1: it was two to two and two out of three
16:08
Speaker 1: games were in Cleveland, then I will take Cleveland to
16:12
Speaker 1: win for sure. But just what they did up seven
16:16
Speaker 1: points with I believe like a minute eight left and
16:20
Speaker 1: end up blowing that which Tyree Tyree's he made a
16:23
Speaker 1: great after he missed a free throw, then went out
16:26
Speaker 1: to the three point line stealed the deal, which was
16:28
Speaker 1: a crazy shot by the way, But for them to
16:30
Speaker 1: give that up, it just it's just good wrenching. Just
16:34
Speaker 1: kills a series. So I don't know, I know, I
16:38
Speaker 1: know the Cavs are thirty four and seven at home,
16:41
Speaker 1: So even even if they make it to a game
16:44
Speaker 1: seven by chance, I'm still confident enough in the Pacers
16:49
Speaker 1: and what they're able to do. And they're one of
16:52
Speaker 1: these three games they're not gonna be missing, and that's
16:55
Speaker 1: how it was Game four. They were just not missing
16:57
Speaker 1: at all. So it's gonna be hard for me to
17:00
Speaker 1: believe that the Cavs are going to be able to
17:02
Speaker 1: really come back. But let me just talk a little
17:07
Speaker 1: bit before I get into this next series about Tyre's Halliburn. So,
17:11
Speaker 1: there was a survey. I'm pretty sure everybody's already heard
17:13
Speaker 1: this by now, there was a survey of as far
17:17
Speaker 1: as the most overrated players in the NBA, and it
17:19
Speaker 1: was a poll of NBA players or it didn't say
17:22
Speaker 1: exactly who. It could have been a team, it could
17:24
Speaker 1: have been the entire NBA, somebody along those lines. But
17:28
Speaker 1: they talked about who's the most overrated player in the league,
17:32
Speaker 1: and by a landslide, it was Tyre's Halliburn. So I
17:37
Speaker 1: think he's proven this year that what he did last
17:40
Speaker 1: year was not a fluke because at the beginning of
17:44
Speaker 1: the year, yes, they were struggling, I believe there were
17:46
Speaker 1: fourteen and eight something along those lines, but after that
17:50
Speaker 1: they were on a sixty win pace the rest of
17:53
Speaker 1: the year. So Tyre's Halliburn, Yes, he may not be
17:58
Speaker 1: an aggressive score all the time, but when he's aggressive,
18:03
Speaker 1: he's one of the most unstoppable guys in the league.
18:06
Speaker 1: And let alone, if his three point shot is hitten,
18:08
Speaker 1: we already know what he is as a playmaker. But again,
18:12
Speaker 1: like I was, saying Tyre's Halliburn is reaching that superstar
18:15
Speaker 1: territory whether we like it or not. He's forcing himself
18:18
Speaker 1: into that conversation. And honestly, okay, because I consider Shay
18:22
Speaker 1: a two guard and so something along the lines. It
18:26
Speaker 1: would be for best point guards in the league, it
18:28
Speaker 1: would be staff Luca, Jalen Brunson. And now Tyrese Haliburn
18:32
Speaker 1: is there for sure. He's in the top five for sure,
18:36
Speaker 1: and we could potentially see Nicks versus Pacers Tyres Halliburn
18:40
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, who's a better player in the playoff series
18:44
Speaker 1: for seven games. I know we saw it last year,
18:46
Speaker 1: but Jalen Brunson was a little dinged up, that Nick
18:48
Speaker 1: roster was a little dinged up. So I feel like
18:52
Speaker 1: if I had to give another prediction for this series
18:55
Speaker 1: again being being wrong again again, I don't I don't
18:58
Speaker 1: mind when I'm wrong. I really don't mind when I'm wrong.
19:01
Speaker 1: But it's just something I didn't expect right here. I
19:04
Speaker 1: knew the Pacers were good, but I didn't know that
19:05
Speaker 1: they were this good. Even I underestimated them. So I
19:10
Speaker 1: would have the Pacers and six in the Knicks and
19:13
Speaker 1: six having an Eastern Conference finals of the classic rivalry
19:16
Speaker 1: Pacers versus Nicks. But all right, let's go and get
19:21
Speaker 1: into this Western Conference right here, which is a little
19:24
Speaker 1: bit crazier here. But no, wait, that's one thing that
19:29
Speaker 1: I'm not used to. Usually I have Josh back and forth,
19:32
Speaker 1: so I could take a break, so I don't get
19:35
Speaker 1: tired or anything, but I have to drink some water.
19:39
Speaker 1: Take me a break a little bit. All right, Yeah, no,
19:43
Speaker 1: let's get into this Western Conference five or Western Conference
19:46
Speaker 1: playoffs right here. So I'm gonna start with the more
19:49
Speaker 1: of the underwhelming series right here, the Golden State Warriors
19:53
Speaker 1: versus the Minnesota tim Wolves. So Golden State they win
19:56
Speaker 1: game one than these last three. The Minnesota tim Wolves
19:58
Speaker 1: have one, but it has been without Steph Curry. So
20:04
Speaker 1: the main thing as far as with Golden State, now
20:06
Speaker 1: they're backs up against the wall. Maybe Steph Curry could
20:09
Speaker 1: come back game six, game seven, by chance, but even
20:13
Speaker 1: at that, I really don't see that happening because it's
20:16
Speaker 1: gonna be in Minnesota. So I think Minnesota's gonna close
20:18
Speaker 1: this out in five. But I just want to say
20:22
Speaker 1: a couple things from this series as far as Jimmy
20:27
Speaker 1: Butler you signed him in the offse He has been
20:30
Speaker 1: a great player for majority of this time or this
20:33
Speaker 1: stint with the Warriors. But you're telling me, in a
20:37
Speaker 1: do or die situation a game or if you win
20:41
Speaker 1: at home, you could get Steph Curry back potentially for
20:44
Speaker 1: Game six and Game seven. You're telling me, Jimmy Butler
20:48
Speaker 1: only takes nine field goal attempts. I'm sorry, Jimmy Butler.
20:53
Speaker 1: You need to be aggressive and you need to put
20:56
Speaker 1: your impact on the game, a stamp on the game,
21:00
Speaker 1: or for you to for you to even have a
21:03
Speaker 1: puncher's chance. So the main game plan for the Warriors
21:08
Speaker 1: was load up on Anthony Edwards, make Julius Franal, make
21:11
Speaker 1: the others beat you, which everybody has been doing this year.
21:14
Speaker 1: But Anthony Edwards has become more than a capable enough playmaker,
21:18
Speaker 1: and these last two games he had it going. Finally,
21:23
Speaker 1: the first two games he was struggling, really, but he's
21:26
Speaker 1: starting to find his rhythm against a top three defense,
21:29
Speaker 1: and without Steph Curry you have even better defensive personnel.
21:33
Speaker 1: So I just think that I had the Timberwolves winning
21:39
Speaker 1: this series in seven. Now it's in five without Steph
21:42
Speaker 1: Curry and even for them to win Game one. It
21:45
Speaker 1: was crazy because Steph Curry, he went out someone in
21:49
Speaker 1: the first quarter. I believe something along those lines, But
21:53
Speaker 1: I just want to say it just sucks for the Warriors. Yes,
21:56
Speaker 1: but that's what happens when you play a seven game
21:58
Speaker 1: series against the Houston Rockets, one of the most physical
22:01
Speaker 1: teams in the league. Took you game took you to
22:04
Speaker 1: Game seven, then forty eight hours later you had to
22:07
Speaker 1: go to Minnesota and play another physical team. Maybe not
22:10
Speaker 1: as physical, but the Minnesota Tembolves are still one of
22:14
Speaker 1: the most physical teams. So that's a make sure of
22:17
Speaker 1: just I wouldn't say not necessarily taking care of business,
22:21
Speaker 1: but you could have won Game six and you could
22:23
Speaker 1: have got Steph Curry a little bit more rest. Maybe
22:25
Speaker 1: it doesn't stop that injury, but I'm just saying, by chance,
22:28
Speaker 1: it could have happened. Because he's thirty seven years old,
22:32
Speaker 1: it takes him a lot longer for him to recover
22:35
Speaker 1: and get back from playing one day off a day on,
22:38
Speaker 1: one day off a day on. So he's just older
22:41
Speaker 1: and he can't do that at this point. But as
22:44
Speaker 1: far as what the Timberwolves here, so I can't really
22:47
Speaker 1: gauge them in this series because I expected Stephen Curry
22:51
Speaker 1: to be here. Obviously, we all expected Stephen Curry to
22:53
Speaker 1: be here, but from what he's doing offensively to this
22:57
Speaker 1: Warriors defense right here these past two games has been
23:00
Speaker 1: amazing and any anything you throw at him in this playoffs,
23:04
Speaker 1: He's last two playoff runs, he's yes, he struggled for
23:08
Speaker 1: a little bit, but then after that he takes over.
23:11
Speaker 1: So I think that Anthony Edwards just a trajectory that
23:16
Speaker 1: he's on is just is just ultra ultra crazy, Like
23:23
Speaker 1: I don't even have the words for it, that's how
23:25
Speaker 1: crazy it is. The run that he had last year
23:28
Speaker 1: where he took out Phoenix, where he took out Denver,
23:30
Speaker 1: then right into Dallas, but then this year going up
23:32
Speaker 1: against la then going up against the Warriors, and now
23:36
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say another Western Conference Finals
23:39
Speaker 1: appearance and has a damn good chance to make it
23:42
Speaker 1: to the finals once once again. I just think that
23:46
Speaker 1: it's just it's just crazy to see because Anthony Edwards,
23:50
Speaker 1: he's putting a putting himself in a name for being
23:53
Speaker 1: a top five player in the league, and now with
23:55
Speaker 1: Tatum potentially out, he could be into that top five range,
23:58
Speaker 1: and I just say, it's just great. And then the
24:03
Speaker 1: jump that he has. He's barely twenty three years old.
24:06
Speaker 1: He's barely twenty three years old and already has I
24:09
Speaker 1: think nine to thirty point games something along those lines. So,
24:14
Speaker 1: and another person that I want to take away from
24:15
Speaker 1: this series from the Timberwool side is Julius Randall. So,
24:20
Speaker 1: Julius Randall before this series, he wasn't seen, I mean
24:23
Speaker 1: before this playoff run, he wasn't seen as a playoff
24:26
Speaker 1: performer because he struggled in New York and Stroke or yeah,
24:30
Speaker 1: just New York, whether it was him being injured or
24:33
Speaker 1: coming back a little bit before and not having his rhythm.
24:35
Speaker 1: And what he's shown in this playoff run is that
24:39
Speaker 1: the reason why I struggled in those series was because
24:42
Speaker 1: I was either barely getting my rhythm back or I
24:44
Speaker 1: was injured. And it's showing that whenever he's a co
24:49
Speaker 1: star and he's one of those guys who gets to
24:53
Speaker 1: the mid range, one of the physical guys, could be
24:55
Speaker 1: on ball defender or even a rim protector. He he's
25:00
Speaker 1: one of the most valuable players in the playoffs, in
25:04
Speaker 1: the playoffs in general, because the physicality in this playoffs
25:08
Speaker 1: has been higher than any other playoff series and or
25:11
Speaker 1: any other playoffs in general that I can imagine in
25:14
Speaker 1: all honesty, So it seems like they're allowing more contact,
25:17
Speaker 1: whether that's something that they wanted or just the refs
25:20
Speaker 1: are allowing it. This year, Julius Randall has thrived and
25:24
Speaker 1: he's proved himself that he's a playoff riser and playoff performer.
25:28
Speaker 1: Because even yesterday in the Wolves and Warriors game, I
25:33
Speaker 1: think Julius Randal he had nineteen He was like seven, four,
25:35
Speaker 1: twelve at some point, so he just kept the Wolves
25:38
Speaker 1: afloat until Anthony Edwards finally popped off. And that's another thing.
25:43
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards, how he is off ball. As crazy as
25:48
Speaker 1: this is to say, I think he would. I think
25:50
Speaker 1: he'd be better with the guy that was an on
25:54
Speaker 1: ball playmaker next to him, honestly, because he's able to
25:59
Speaker 1: hunt those closeout mismatches, and just the way he's been
26:02
Speaker 1: shooting the ball just this year, how he improved and
26:05
Speaker 1: became one of the best three point shooters this year.
26:08
Speaker 1: I just think that he could be great next to
26:10
Speaker 1: enbald Or on ball playmaker, and who knows maybe a
26:15
Speaker 1: Trey Young or something along those lines, which could even
26:18
Speaker 1: raise the ceiling for this team even more by a landslide.
26:23
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna go in and say Wolves are
26:26
Speaker 1: winning this series in five, and it just sucks that
26:29
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see what could have happened if
26:33
Speaker 1: Steph Curry was fully healthy. But all right, this last
26:37
Speaker 1: series right here, which is the best series by far
26:41
Speaker 1: as of this second round. The Oklahoma City Thunder and
26:44
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets. So game one, okay, see, they were
26:48
Speaker 1: up majority of the game, then they used the foul
26:52
Speaker 1: strategy as far as foulon went up three and then
26:55
Speaker 1: long story short, chet Holmgrin missed a couple free throws,
26:57
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon hit a three game so Denver they win
27:02
Speaker 1: game one. Then okay, see they win game two Denver
27:05
Speaker 1: Game three, okay, see game four, So two out of
27:09
Speaker 1: these three games are gonna be in okac and I
27:12
Speaker 1: have okay see winning in seven, which I had at
27:14
Speaker 1: the very beginning. This is the one that I had
27:17
Speaker 1: correct as far as well, I think this is gonna
27:19
Speaker 1: be correct as far as how many games it's gonna go.
27:22
Speaker 1: So I think obviously who's had the better series so far,
27:26
Speaker 1: I would say the Oklahoma City Thunder by far, And
27:29
Speaker 1: the main reason for that is that I wouldn't say
27:33
Speaker 1: they're the Jokic stopper. There's no way you could stop Jokic.
27:36
Speaker 1: But all I'm saying is Jokic for his standards, for
27:39
Speaker 1: because I consider him the best player in the world.
27:42
Speaker 1: For him being the best player in the world, he
27:44
Speaker 1: has underwhelmed this series. Scoring wise, as far as rebounding,
27:48
Speaker 1: passing the ball, he's been great, but they need him
27:51
Speaker 1: to score the basketball. No matter how good Jamal Murray
27:54
Speaker 1: has been, all these role players, Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter, Junior,
27:58
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, no matter how good they've been, you need
28:03
Speaker 1: your main guy to step up when you needs when
28:05
Speaker 1: you need him the most. After Game one, the forty
28:08
Speaker 1: two to twenty two and something along those lines, he's
28:12
Speaker 1: he shot thirty three percent from the field, eighteen percent
28:15
Speaker 1: from three, fifteen assists, and sixteen turnovers. So that just
28:20
Speaker 1: shows how underwoman it is for Nicola Jokiche. And yes,
28:24
Speaker 1: the stats or the points still may look good, the rebounds, assists,
28:29
Speaker 1: but what the thunder they're doing is they're having Isaiah
28:33
Speaker 1: Harvenstein on Nicola Yokaice at first, and then you have
28:37
Speaker 1: a rim protector and chet Holmgren to potentially block the shot.
28:42
Speaker 1: So you have two, three, four bodies you could throw
28:46
Speaker 1: at Nicola Jokice. And that was a formula last year
28:50
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota Timbwolves when they had Nasri kar Anthony
28:52
Speaker 1: Town's Ready Gobert. So the main thing to slow down
28:57
Speaker 1: Jokic is have plenty of bodies to get in front
29:00
Speaker 1: of him and potentially stop him and don't let him
29:03
Speaker 1: be effective passing the ball and the thunder. They're the
29:07
Speaker 1: best defense for a reason, just getting in the passing leads,
29:10
Speaker 1: very aggressive, very athletic, and they're the best team off
29:15
Speaker 1: of turnovers. And I'll say this too, I know Jokics
29:20
Speaker 1: is struggling, but Shae is equally just as bad. I
29:23
Speaker 1: know Shaye had a better game last game, but the
29:25
Speaker 1: first three games they were underwhelmen. There were underwoman and
29:30
Speaker 1: I just think that that Shaye he's gonna eventually pop off.
29:34
Speaker 1: I think this is this game where he popped off
29:35
Speaker 1: Game four. But I think back in Okay see game five, five,
29:39
Speaker 1: high pressure situation. I think that they're I think that
29:42
Speaker 1: he's gonna deliver here and I just think that's gonna
29:46
Speaker 1: be the main thing between these last three games right here.
29:49
Speaker 1: Who's gonna step up? Who's gonna step up first? Is
29:51
Speaker 1: it gonna be Shae's gonna be Jokic? Who is it
29:54
Speaker 1: gonna be. They've still had good series for any other
29:57
Speaker 1: person standards, but for there's being MVPs, being top three
30:02
Speaker 1: players in the world, they have underwhelmed. They're just held
30:05
Speaker 1: to a different standard. That's why Luca he got scrutinized
30:09
Speaker 1: after he lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves because he's held
30:12
Speaker 1: to a different standard. And I just think that who
30:15
Speaker 1: do I trust more to step up and who has
30:18
Speaker 1: a better personnel to slow down the other guy? I
30:21
Speaker 1: think Thunder had the better personnel to slow down to
30:24
Speaker 1: Kola Jokic compared to the Nuggets slowing down Shaye. I
30:28
Speaker 1: know Shay has been slowed down, but I think he's
30:30
Speaker 1: gonna get it going and found something last game and
30:33
Speaker 1: whenever those timely buckets needed, he delivered. And I just
30:39
Speaker 1: think that this is something where it could potentially get
30:42
Speaker 1: attacked next round. I just think that the Nuggets don't
30:44
Speaker 1: have the personnel Shaye as a playmaker. We always knew
30:47
Speaker 1: he wasn't the best playmaker, but it seems like he
30:50
Speaker 1: doesn't trust his teammates enough enough to make those plays.
30:54
Speaker 1: And Jduw he had a big game Game three, you
30:57
Speaker 1: had Keeson Wallace, Alex Caruso, you had Aaron Wiggins having
31:01
Speaker 1: great games in Game four. So I just think the
31:04
Speaker 1: Thunder they're gonna more likely outlast the Nuggets in this series,
31:09
Speaker 1: just because the depth that they have, like the I think,
31:14
Speaker 1: where's the stat at the Nuggets they only had Russell
31:16
Speaker 1: Westbrook play over ten plus minutes somebody who's on their bench.
31:20
Speaker 1: So at this point, it's getting to game five, game six,
31:24
Speaker 1: Game seven, that means every other day you're playing a
31:27
Speaker 1: game and you have your starters playing forty minutes compared
31:29
Speaker 1: to the to the OKC side where Shay is barely
31:33
Speaker 1: cracking thirty minutes. Even at that in some games, I
31:36
Speaker 1: just think that it's gonna just wear them down. And
31:38
Speaker 1: the Thunder they are the younger team, more athletic team,
31:41
Speaker 1: and just more talent overall. And two of your games
31:45
Speaker 1: are gonna be at home. So I just think that
31:48
Speaker 1: the Thunder they're gonna win this game or win this series.
31:51
Speaker 1: Right here, I think it's gonna go game five, Okay,
31:53
Speaker 1: see game six Denver, and then I can then I
31:56
Speaker 1: see okay, see winning it in seven. So those are
32:01
Speaker 1: my predictions. So I'm gonna go and list them off
32:03
Speaker 1: real quick. Okay, see seven Minnesota, five Pacers and six
32:08
Speaker 1: Nix and six. And as far as with the games,
32:12
Speaker 1: as far as what happens, I'll get to them soon
32:14
Speaker 1: or hopefully Josh and I we get to them soon,
32:16
Speaker 1: both of us. It's not just one. But all right,
32:20
Speaker 1: let's not talk play or let's get away from talking
32:23
Speaker 1: playoff basketball here. Let's talk about this NBA draft lottery
32:26
Speaker 1: and as far as what happened here. So the draft lottery,
32:34
Speaker 1: obviously it was yesterday, but Cooper Flag obviously the number
32:39
Speaker 1: one overall pick, one of the best prospects in a
32:41
Speaker 1: while seen where he's gonna go is more likely than
32:45
Speaker 1: not gonna go to the Dallas Mavericks, which some nobody expect.
32:51
Speaker 1: They had a one point eight percent chance, the fourth
32:54
Speaker 1: largest underdog since nineteen eighty five, so something that we
32:58
Speaker 1: haven't seen before. As far as this lottery, Mavericks won
33:02
Speaker 1: Spurs two, six Ers three, Charlotte four, Utah five, Washington six,
33:08
Speaker 1: Pelicans seven, Brooklyn eight, Toronto nine, Houston ten, Portland eleven,
33:13
Speaker 1: Chicago twelve, Atlanta thirteen, and the Spurs once again with
33:18
Speaker 1: the fourteenth pick, the last pick in the lottery. So
33:22
Speaker 1: first thing I want to say is that this changes
33:24
Speaker 1: everything for the Dallas Mavericks right here their future as
33:28
Speaker 1: far as obviously we don't have to talk about talk
33:30
Speaker 1: about this more in depth anymore. Luka doncis going to
33:33
Speaker 1: the Lakers and them getting Anthony Davis and other picks.
33:37
Speaker 1: But I just think that them getting Cooper Flag and
33:40
Speaker 1: what this change or what this does for them changes
33:44
Speaker 1: everything because now they actually have a young core and
33:46
Speaker 1: the best prospect in a while in a while by Landslide,
33:51
Speaker 1: and he could fit perfectly next to Kyrie Irving, next
33:54
Speaker 1: to Anthony Davis, next to Derek Lively, Daniel Get Maybe
33:59
Speaker 1: one of those in are going to be shipped, but
34:01
Speaker 1: still he fits in perfectly as a three guard. And
34:04
Speaker 1: the only only weakness that I really have on his
34:07
Speaker 1: game is as far as can he be a number
34:09
Speaker 1: one score on a team he wins to one of
34:12
Speaker 1: the most talented teams in Kyrie Irving in Anthony Davis,
34:15
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to be that number one scorer.
34:18
Speaker 1: Andy He quote unquote fits the mold of Nigo Harrison
34:21
Speaker 1: as far as having two way players, and he's gonna
34:25
Speaker 1: be one of the best defensive players for a while
34:28
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's gonna compete with win before
34:31
Speaker 1: Dpo wise, So the future looks bright for Dallas once again.
34:35
Speaker 1: And I know people are gonna say maybe you should
34:38
Speaker 1: trade Anthony Davis because he's not on the timeline of
34:40
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag. I feel like you should try it out
34:43
Speaker 1: for a year at least. I feel like Cooper Flag
34:46
Speaker 1: he's going to be the most ready prospect in a
34:48
Speaker 1: while to come out. So I think you just have
34:51
Speaker 1: to give it a shot and see how it looks.
34:53
Speaker 1: I know Kyrie Revering's not going to be back till
34:55
Speaker 1: maybe February, maybe March, but I just think you have
34:59
Speaker 1: to give it a look. You just have to see
35:01
Speaker 1: how it looks and you can maybe make a playoff push.
35:05
Speaker 1: I really do think so Anthony Davis and Cooper Flag
35:07
Speaker 1: can do more than enough to hold down the fort
35:10
Speaker 1: until Kyrie Irving gets back. And ware to know how
35:13
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving gets when he's in the playoffs. So hey all,
35:18
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is that. Okay, I'm not gonna say
35:21
Speaker 1: the NBA is rigged. They obviously have since nineteen eighty five.
35:25
Speaker 1: They have all these different guys monitoring as far as
35:31
Speaker 1: the draft lottery, as far as whenever they pick the
35:33
Speaker 1: ping pong balls. I know they do that. There's billionaires
35:36
Speaker 1: that have franchised at stake here. They're trying to compete,
35:39
Speaker 1: they're trying to win. But I'm just saying, doesn't it
35:43
Speaker 1: look a little fishy that after every time a star
35:47
Speaker 1: trade or star player gets traded away somewhere, that that
35:50
Speaker 1: team happens to get the number one overall pick, which
35:53
Speaker 1: I go to the Orlando Magic with Shack, you go
35:58
Speaker 1: to Chris Paul from the Hornets to the Clippers, get
36:00
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick, Anthony Davis. You have Anthony
36:04
Speaker 1: Davis again getting traded. Then they get Zion Wimpson first
36:08
Speaker 1: overall pick. Then there's there's another one, obviously the Maps,
36:13
Speaker 1: this one this year Luka Doncic and the trade them
36:16
Speaker 1: away getting the number one overall pick. But there's plenty
36:19
Speaker 1: of instances where a star player gets traded to a
36:23
Speaker 1: big market and coincidentally they get the first overall pick.
36:27
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just coincidence, but it's a little bit fishy.
36:31
Speaker 1: And hey, all I'm saying is that if it did
36:35
Speaker 1: happen to be in the works, if Nico Harrison was told, hey,
36:38
Speaker 1: you trade Luka Doncic, you get Anthony Davis back by
36:41
Speaker 1: hey you get Cooper Flag, then it makes a lot
36:44
Speaker 1: more sense. It makes a lot more sense now, but
36:46
Speaker 1: it's still not gonna equal Luca, but but still it
36:49
Speaker 1: it makes a lot more sense as far as what happens.
36:53
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think dallas future. Dallas's future looks
36:57
Speaker 1: bright even if Anthony Davis, even if Kyrie Irving don't
37:00
Speaker 1: happen to get a championship, you still have one of
37:03
Speaker 1: the best stars in Cooper Flag or young stars in
37:06
Speaker 1: the NBA and what he could potentially be. So their
37:11
Speaker 1: future looks right again. And somehow, somehow the basketball gods
37:14
Speaker 1: favor them for trading away Luka Doncik. So just I
37:18
Speaker 1: want to say just congratulations to Mavericks fans because I
37:22
Speaker 1: know how devastated they were after Lula got traded. So hey,
37:27
Speaker 1: getting Cooper Flag a once in a generational type of player,
37:31
Speaker 1: that's not too bad of a return. That's not too
37:33
Speaker 1: bad of a return for them. But as far as
37:38
Speaker 1: a once in a generation type of player, I need
37:41
Speaker 1: to talk about this next team right here, as far
37:43
Speaker 1: as Victor wimen Yama and this Spurs team right here.
37:46
Speaker 1: So they have a second overall pick and they have
37:47
Speaker 1: the fourteenth overall pick. So the last episode that we
37:50
Speaker 1: talked about was as far as the Spurs potentially trading
37:55
Speaker 1: for Giannis, and there's gonna be a package there for
37:58
Speaker 1: Gianni's Now with the second overall pick and the fourteenth
38:01
Speaker 1: overall pick and whatever other players you could throw in,
38:04
Speaker 1: they are more than enough assets to trade for Giannis.
38:08
Speaker 1: You could throw in the second overall pick, the fourteenth
38:11
Speaker 1: overall pick. Now you don't even have to throw in
38:13
Speaker 1: Stephan Castle since it's that valuable of a pick. You
38:16
Speaker 1: could throw in a Keldon Johnson you could throw in.
38:19
Speaker 1: You could throw in maybe Jeremy so Hand, somebody along
38:21
Speaker 1: those lines, and you could have a core of Daron Fox,
38:25
Speaker 1: Stephan Castle, Jannis and Wimby, which is instantly boost them
38:31
Speaker 1: into title contention and would be the best defensive defensive
38:38
Speaker 1: team in the league by far, just with Gianni's being
38:42
Speaker 1: able to roam and Victor Or Wimby being in the
38:45
Speaker 1: dunkers dunker spot being able to block shots would be crazy.
38:49
Speaker 1: And they just need a scorer in Giannis consistently and
38:53
Speaker 1: he could do that for sure. And another thing that
38:57
Speaker 1: we talked about was as far as Janni's he could
39:00
Speaker 1: be a playmaker as long as you have shooters around him.
39:02
Speaker 1: I know Stephan Castle struggled, but I believe he's gonna
39:05
Speaker 1: turn into a shooter. So you could have Yiannis out
39:08
Speaker 1: there with Wimby, Wimby, darn Fox and Stephan Castle at
39:12
Speaker 1: least three shooters, and he's gonna have a clear lane
39:17
Speaker 1: to the basket. That's gonna be damn near unstoppable, and
39:19
Speaker 1: they're gonna be I'd say for sure they'd be a
39:22
Speaker 1: top three team in the Western Conference with Giannis because
39:25
Speaker 1: how dominant he is. So I just think that the
39:30
Speaker 1: Spurs their future has changed in just a matter of
39:33
Speaker 1: three years, and I think, in all honesty, they shouldn't
39:38
Speaker 1: draft anybody. I know there's Dylan Harper, I know there's
39:41
Speaker 1: Ace Bailey, but I just feel like it would be
39:44
Speaker 1: it would make a lot more sense if you trade
39:47
Speaker 1: for Giannis because you just have an opportunity with Winby,
39:51
Speaker 1: you don't know how much longer. I know he had
39:53
Speaker 1: the blood cut situation, but I think he's gonna be fine.
39:57
Speaker 1: But I just think that I I just think that,
40:01
Speaker 1: just with Yaron Fox, with Stephan Castle, you have to
40:03
Speaker 1: take advantage of the opportunity right now. And Giannis, there's
40:07
Speaker 1: a reason why he's the second best player in the
40:10
Speaker 1: NBA right now, and if you trade for him, you
40:13
Speaker 1: have two top ten players in the NBA in a
40:15
Speaker 1: tough Western conference, which it looks like you need to
40:19
Speaker 1: get out of the West. And also another thing that's
40:23
Speaker 1: that's bodies you could throw at Yokis, both Giannis and Wimby,
40:26
Speaker 1: so it'll be very scary. So that's gonna be very
40:30
Speaker 1: interesting right there. Who knows when the Yannis trade would happen,
40:34
Speaker 1: but I expect it closer to whenever the draft happens,
40:37
Speaker 1: so late June, that's whenever that happens. So I would
40:40
Speaker 1: not be surprised within these within either right now till
40:45
Speaker 1: right before the draft. Giannis somehow ends up being a spurt.
40:50
Speaker 1: And this last team that I want to talk about
40:53
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six ers, so they're a little bit
40:57
Speaker 1: more flexible as far as with what they could do
41:01
Speaker 1: or what they want to do because they have a
41:03
Speaker 1: third overall pick. Obviously, Cooper Flags going around one, Dylan
41:07
Speaker 1: Harper is probably gonna go two, and you could get
41:10
Speaker 1: Ace Bailey. So I haven't done much work into as
41:15
Speaker 1: far as a lot of you guys, but I know
41:17
Speaker 1: about Ace Bailey. So what I wrote down is just
41:20
Speaker 1: his size and skill is a prototypical archetype for an
41:23
Speaker 1: NBA player, and sometimes he's he's iffy with this playmaking
41:28
Speaker 1: and sometimes defending. His shot making and scoring upside can
41:31
Speaker 1: help a team instantly. So I think if ol the
41:36
Speaker 1: Sixers and just with Hout, the team has constructed Tyree Smacksey,
41:41
Speaker 1: Jared McCain, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Ace Bailey should be
41:46
Speaker 1: drafted here. So you give yourself some flexibility as far
41:50
Speaker 1: as if Joel Embiid he's not healthy, if Paul George
41:53
Speaker 1: is not healthy, I think that you kind of shift
41:57
Speaker 1: into a younger team that might not be able to
42:00
Speaker 1: compete with the Eastern Conference. Well with Jason tateum again,
42:03
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum changes everything. I know, I keep bringing up
42:05
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum Tatum, but it changes everything in that Eastern Conference.
42:09
Speaker 1: There so if they get him, if they get Ace Bailey,
42:14
Speaker 1: then you have a younger core, but you still have
42:16
Speaker 1: Paul George, you still have tyre respects, you still have
42:18
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid. Were you could theoretically, I wouldn't say they would,
42:22
Speaker 1: but theoretically compete in the Eastern Conference whilst having a
42:26
Speaker 1: younger team and going in a younger direction. Obviously you
42:30
Speaker 1: could trade the pick and try to get somebody that
42:32
Speaker 1: could help you right now. But I feel like the
42:35
Speaker 1: Sixers they've they've already done more than enough to mess
42:38
Speaker 1: up their future, relying it all on Joel Embiid. Not
42:41
Speaker 1: his fault that he gets hurt, he just can't stay healthy.
42:44
Speaker 1: But it's just if I'm the Sixers, would I would
42:49
Speaker 1: use that pick. Say, if Dylan Harper falls you, you
42:51
Speaker 1: draft him to Dylan Harper or Ace Bailey, whichever one
42:54
Speaker 1: of the two, you draft them by far, and and
42:58
Speaker 1: you help yourself out as far as with the younger future.
43:01
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised if they trade a pick either,
43:04
Speaker 1: so you could you could realistically see which I feel
43:08
Speaker 1: like the top three picks are the most notable picks
43:11
Speaker 1: right here and gonna be the for sure ones in
43:14
Speaker 1: Dyln Harper and Ace Bailey here, so I know that
43:18
Speaker 1: there's a VJ. Edcombe, there's Jeremiah Fears, but it's really
43:22
Speaker 1: it's really a top three class. And not honestly, it's
43:25
Speaker 1: a top three class. And you can see number two
43:27
Speaker 1: and number three being traded for some picks that could
43:29
Speaker 1: potentially help somebody win right now. So that's what's gonna
43:33
Speaker 1: be crazy about this draft right here. And again, as
43:37
Speaker 1: far as the last thing right here, Dallas Mavericks, the
43:40
Speaker 1: basketball gods, they favored you, they favored you here, and
43:45
Speaker 1: obviously I'm gonna bring my Bulls no matter what. We
43:48
Speaker 1: are a bias podcast. So the Bulls lost a coin
43:52
Speaker 1: flip to the Dallas Mavericks for that pick, that exact
43:56
Speaker 1: pick that happened to be the number one overall pick.
43:59
Speaker 1: So the Pols almost got Cooper Flag. So it just
44:04
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it's just not our time yet
44:07
Speaker 1: for the Bulls, but just I hope eventually, I hope
44:10
Speaker 1: eventually we get a generational prospect in Cooper Flag or
44:13
Speaker 1: make a trade, but who knows, who knows. That's enough
44:17
Speaker 1: talking about my Bulls. I don't want to get sat
44:19
Speaker 1: on this podcast right here. But all right now, now
44:24
Speaker 1: that we're done talking basketball right here, so I'm gonna
44:29
Speaker 1: before I get into hoop grid here, I want to
44:31
Speaker 1: talk about this NBC broadcast team as far as the
44:35
Speaker 1: NBA broadcast team and what they're bringing into it. So
44:39
Speaker 1: they're gonna have Mike Cherico and know where you go,
44:42
Speaker 1: I know you goes. No, you guys don't know them,
44:44
Speaker 1: but they're the play by play guys. But as far
44:47
Speaker 1: as the analysts, they have Jamal Crawford, Reggie Miller, Carmelo
44:51
Speaker 1: Anthony as your main three guys. And another guy which
44:56
Speaker 1: he's kind of known a little bit in the basketball world,
44:59
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. He's gonna be a special contributor, but he's
45:03
Speaker 1: gonna be substantial and the NBA, NBA, NBC an analogy
45:10
Speaker 1: analysis team and as far as he's gonna actually be
45:12
Speaker 1: talking sports on a regular basis. So why I said
45:17
Speaker 1: at the very beginning he could potentially change the direction
45:19
Speaker 1: of basketball is I think basketball has talked about very
45:24
Speaker 1: negative negatively, and I know there's this big old thing
45:29
Speaker 1: as far as you hear from most older players as
45:31
Speaker 1: far as well they always talk down on the game
45:34
Speaker 1: or whatever. There's no better person to talk about the
45:37
Speaker 1: game modern because or then Michael Jordan. Because we've never
45:41
Speaker 1: really heard Michael Jordan talk about modern basketball and what
45:44
Speaker 1: he thinks about it. So he's still obviously he's considered
45:49
Speaker 1: the goat by most of the older crowd or even
45:52
Speaker 1: even some of the young crowd. It's probably fifty fifty
45:54
Speaker 1: with Lebron and Jordan, but people are gonna listen to
45:57
Speaker 1: his opinion. So I feel like he has an opportunity
46:02
Speaker 1: to change the way basketball is covered, and as far
46:05
Speaker 1: as changing in a positive light, because most of the
46:09
Speaker 1: basketball discourse now is how it's always so negative about
46:14
Speaker 1: oh well, this guy's not delivering in the clutch, or
46:16
Speaker 1: this guy hasn't made a finals appearance or lost in
46:18
Speaker 1: the finals. So mj he could change that by saying, well,
46:23
Speaker 1: let's appreciate basketball. This guy's doing this, you know what
46:26
Speaker 1: I mean. Or he could step it up by doing this.
46:30
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you can't criticize NBA players, because I
46:33
Speaker 1: do it too. I criticize NBA players NBA players too,
46:37
Speaker 1: but they should also be praised too. And see the
46:40
Speaker 1: level of basketball that's being played right now and how
46:43
Speaker 1: it's different compared to the two thousands, of the nineties,
46:46
Speaker 1: the eighties, seventies, so on, and so forth. So I
46:50
Speaker 1: just think it's going to be interesting because we've seen
46:53
Speaker 1: Jamal Crawford cover the game, We've seen Regi Miller, we've
46:56
Speaker 1: seen Carmelo Anthony. They more talk about basketball. If you
46:59
Speaker 1: had to say they're either positive or negative about the
47:01
Speaker 1: basketball discourse, you'll say they're more positive about it. So
47:05
Speaker 1: I wonder if mj He's gonna be somewhat similar to
47:09
Speaker 1: this or gonna bring like the opposite, because I know
47:11
Speaker 1: in commentation, you always need both the good and both
47:14
Speaker 1: the bad. So I wonder what it's gonna bring. And again,
47:18
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna listen to Michael Jordan
47:21
Speaker 1: talk about basketball. A lot of people are gonna listen
47:23
Speaker 1: to him. I'm gonna listen to him and see what
47:25
Speaker 1: he has to say. So it's just very interesting. I
47:29
Speaker 1: just want to bring that up. It's gonna be very
47:31
Speaker 1: interesting to see how Michael Jordan's gonna talk about basketball
47:34
Speaker 1: next year, and you're gonna hear him a lot. I
47:37
Speaker 1: believe it's gonna be at least twenty games in the
47:39
Speaker 1: regular season and obviously come playoffs. He's gonna be talking
47:42
Speaker 1: about basketball too, so I'm just very interested to see that,
47:47
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for this new direction where basketball discourse
47:52
Speaker 1: is going. All Right, before I end this episode right here,
47:57
Speaker 1: I want to I wanna do huprid right here. So
48:01
Speaker 1: if nobody knows what a hoop grid is, there is
48:04
Speaker 1: there's six different boxes and you have to try to
48:08
Speaker 1: match as far as try to get the player with
48:10
Speaker 1: the least amount of rarity score here. So I want
48:14
Speaker 1: to just test my basketball knowledge. I know Josh isn't here,
48:16
Speaker 1: so this is gonna be a solo dolo one, so
48:19
Speaker 1: I just want to see. I want to test my
48:21
Speaker 1: basketball knowledge and see how low of a score I
48:23
Speaker 1: could get on a hoop grid. But if you guys
48:27
Speaker 1: don't want to listen to this part, because this may
48:28
Speaker 1: take another thirty forty minutes right here, I appreciate you
48:31
Speaker 1: guys tuning in, but I'm gonna go ahead and get
48:33
Speaker 1: into it. So the top box right here is five
48:36
Speaker 1: hundred plus turnovers in a career NBA All Star played
48:41
Speaker 1: in the two thousands. Then the left side is the
48:44
Speaker 1: LA Lakers, Orlando Magic, and the Boston Celtics here. So
48:51
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see how to attack this here. Played
48:54
Speaker 1: in the two thousands on the La Lakers. There's obviously
48:59
Speaker 1: guys like a travl Reza. There's a guy. There's guys
49:02
Speaker 1: like a Shane Brown, or actually, let me try Shane Brown,
49:07
Speaker 1: or not Shane Brown. I don't know why I was
49:08
Speaker 1: thinking Shane Brown. His name is something brown. I can't
49:13
Speaker 1: think of his name. Something along those lines. Was it
49:18
Speaker 1: Bobby Brown? I think it was Bobby Brown. No, hmm,
49:24
Speaker 1: there's oh Shannon Brown. That's what it was. Okay, one
49:27
Speaker 1: point three at rarity score. Not too bad, but I
49:30
Speaker 1: know I could get better. Orlando Magic played in the
49:34
Speaker 1: in the two thousands. Jeez, can't talk no more. All right,
49:41
Speaker 1: let me just let me just think about this for
49:43
Speaker 1: a little bit. NBA All Star played on the Lakers. Hmm.
49:50
Speaker 1: I don't know why I was thinking, like a Gary Payton,
49:53
Speaker 1: a Karl Malone, somebody along those lines. Obviously there's Russ Carmelo,
49:58
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard, Steve Nush hm hm. Honestly, Marc Gasol may
50:02
Speaker 1: be a good one. I don't know if many people
50:06
Speaker 1: remember Markusaul one point seven six. That's not too bad,
50:09
Speaker 1: but get better Okay, we're in the gold territory. We
50:12
Speaker 1: just need to need to get to the platinum, all right.
50:14
Speaker 1: Five hundred plus turnovers in a career played for the Lakers,
50:20
Speaker 1: played for the Lakers. Hmm. Okay, five hundred plus turnovers,
50:31
Speaker 1: five hundred plus turnovers. Hmm. I'm trying to think five
50:38
Speaker 1: hundred plus turnovers for the Lakers. I don't know why
50:41
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of like a Jermy Lynn or or somebody
50:44
Speaker 1: along those lines right there. You know what, let me
50:50
Speaker 1: just let me just throw in Jermy Lynn if I
50:55
Speaker 1: could spell his name, Jeremy Lynn one point three six. Okay,
50:59
Speaker 1: that's not too bad. I'm on the one I'm on
51:02
Speaker 1: the one percent. But I know I could get better.
51:07
Speaker 1: I know I could get better. Hmm. Oh, I got
51:12
Speaker 1: a better one. I got a better one than Jeremy Lynn.
51:15
Speaker 1: How about five hundred plus turners for a career he played?
51:19
Speaker 1: I think he played with Lebron. Give me Lance Stevenson,
51:24
Speaker 1: Give me Lance Stevenson. Okay, that's our first platinum point
51:30
Speaker 1: seventy nine, that's our first platinum, all right? All right,
51:33
Speaker 1: played in the two thousands. What's better than Shannon Brown?
51:37
Speaker 1: I think this is how I'm gonna attack this. I
51:39
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna try to get the first bracket. I'm
51:40
Speaker 1: gonna go team by team here. I'm gonna try to
51:42
Speaker 1: go team by team here, because if I try to
51:44
Speaker 1: start going all over the place, I'm gonna be confused.
51:47
Speaker 1: So played in the two thousands. Who's better than Shannon Brown? Obviously?
51:55
Speaker 1: You see that. I got a bulls head on. So
51:57
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think a little bit more bulls here.
52:02
Speaker 1: No one never played for the Lakers. Obviously. Die Rose
52:06
Speaker 1: never played for the Lakers. Todd Gibson, Carlos Boozer never played. Ooh,
52:12
Speaker 1: I got a good one. I got a good one.
52:14
Speaker 1: He signed a contract. I remember this. He signed a
52:17
Speaker 1: contract with the Heat and got traded to the Lakers.
52:20
Speaker 1: Was a bulls legend. Lou All dang boom perfect. Now
52:26
Speaker 1: we're cooking. Now we're cooking, point thirty point thirty Another
52:31
Speaker 1: another platinum or I don't know what it's called for.
52:34
Speaker 1: Is it called platinum? I don't know. So we have
52:37
Speaker 1: two platinums right here. Oh I was even sharing my
52:40
Speaker 1: screen here. Yeah, no, let me do that first, all right,
52:48
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, okay, now I got my screen set up. Okay, cool,
52:52
Speaker 1: all right, NBA All Star, who would be better than
52:56
Speaker 1: Mark A. Saul. I'm trying to think because I feel
53:03
Speaker 1: like marcasol that's that's a great pool there. Dang, that
53:09
Speaker 1: one's tough. You know what. I'll get back to that one.
53:16
Speaker 1: I'll I'll get back. I'll get back to that one
53:18
Speaker 1: for sure. But I want to go in and go
53:21
Speaker 1: in and go to the Magic. One right here, NBA
53:25
Speaker 1: All Star played for the Magic. I know many people
53:28
Speaker 1: don't remember this one right here. I I think he
53:32
Speaker 1: played for them, Ben Wallace, Ben Wallace, he was obviously
53:35
Speaker 1: he was an All Star, but he played boom one Tim.
53:40
Speaker 1: I honestly expected it to be better, but I guess not. Ooh,
53:46
Speaker 1: I got a better one. I got a better one.
53:48
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm still thinking bulls right here.
53:52
Speaker 1: But let me was bj Armstrong an All Star? I
53:57
Speaker 1: know he played for the Magic. I know he played
53:59
Speaker 1: for the Magic, but I think he was an All
54:01
Speaker 1: Star in nineteen ninety one, ninety won ninety two, something
54:04
Speaker 1: along those lines. Let me see bj Armstrong if I
54:10
Speaker 1: could spell his name, b dot J Armstrong boom zo
54:15
Speaker 1: point fifty eight. We have three platforms now, now we're cooking. Now,
54:18
Speaker 1: we're cooking. We're cooking now, we're cooking now, all right?
54:23
Speaker 1: Played in the two thousands, played in the two thousands,
54:30
Speaker 1: damn play it in the two thousands, Orlando Magic, or
54:35
Speaker 1: do I want to go to the turn overs first?
54:38
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm thinking of heto Turkulu turk alone. Dang.
54:46
Speaker 1: That's well, okay, that makes sense. Why it's hie, that
54:50
Speaker 1: was six point eight five. No, that doesn't work. That
54:55
Speaker 1: doesn't work. We definitely could get better than that. What
54:59
Speaker 1: a dj Augustine two point two to three? Okay, we
55:04
Speaker 1: get better than that, for sure. We could definitely get
55:06
Speaker 1: better than that. Hmm. Oh, hold on, wait, let me
55:12
Speaker 1: go to five five hundred plus turnovers in a career.
55:17
Speaker 1: I think, okay, I'm trying to think. I listened to
55:22
Speaker 1: Gilbert Arenas the other day. I know he got driven
55:25
Speaker 1: by the Warriors, the Wizards, and I think he signed
55:28
Speaker 1: a contract with the Magic. I'm pretty sure he said
55:31
Speaker 1: he signed a contract with the Magic. But it's worth
55:33
Speaker 1: a shot right here, Gilbert Arenas, Boom, that's another diamond
55:38
Speaker 1: right there. Diamond, that's what it's called. Okay, we have four,
55:42
Speaker 1: we have four diamonds. Now Gilbert Arenas was point four
55:45
Speaker 1: to three. Okay, we're doing really good. We're at six'
55:48
Speaker 1: ten rarity. Score let's keep this under, ten keep this
55:52
Speaker 1: under ten for, sure BUT i want to potentially get
55:54
Speaker 1: under five right here as far as a rarity score right.
55:57
Speaker 1: Here so we're. Cooking we're in the right. Direction we're
56:00
Speaker 1: in the right direction right. Here. Hmm, okay trying to,
56:09
Speaker 1: think who's somebody that played in the two thousands and
56:15
Speaker 1: was on The Magic And i'm still kind of thinking
56:19
Speaker 1: at the same, time A LAKERS Nba All, star somebody
56:22
Speaker 1: that's rare Than Mark gasol hm. Hm who could be
56:27
Speaker 1: somebody that's? Rare mm. Hmm, okay my brain it just
56:37
Speaker 1: just stopped. Working right? Now what? Else what? Else what
56:41
Speaker 1: else CAN i go? To All? Right so The CELTICS. Nba,
56:49

1:00:18
Speaker 1: for The magic because Loul All dang didn't play for
1:00:22
Speaker 1: The lakers in the in the two, Thousands so it
1:00:24
Speaker 1: could be a modern or not modern. Player but like my,
1:00:29
Speaker 1: era as far as, players there could possibly possibly. Be
1:00:42
Speaker 1: no that wouldn't. Work Did dabble ever play for The?
1:00:47
Speaker 1: Magic dabble cept Falosha, Oh Shane, BATTIER i Wonder Shane,
1:00:55
Speaker 1: BATTIER i swore he played for The. Magic Shane? Baddy, oh,

1:01:31
Speaker 1: LAKERS Nba All star HOW i, Said. Warriors if it
1:01:35
Speaker 1: Wasn't Chris, mullen if it Wasn't Tim, hardaway it has

1:01:53
Speaker 1: So i'm. Cooking i'm cooking right. Now i'm. Cooking so
1:01:56
Speaker 1: now the goal is going to be with these last two,
1:01:59
Speaker 1: spots maybe at trying to change The ristard lewis one
1:02:02
Speaker 1: for for somebody, Else but now the goal is to

1:02:26
Speaker 1: Celtics there could Be Blake. Griffin Blake. Griffin how would
1:02:34
Speaker 1: that one? Be, yeah BECAUSE i want to get THE
1:02:37
Speaker 1: Nba All star one. FIRST i feel like that one's
1:02:39
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit. Tougher two point. Ten, OKAY
1:02:42
Speaker 1: i don't like that. ONE i could get. BETTER i
1:02:44
Speaker 1: could get better than two point, ten but it kind
1:02:48
Speaker 1: of shows the area where it's not the most. Known
1:02:54
Speaker 1: Didn't Moe williams ever play for The. Celtics, no he Didn't,
1:03:03
Speaker 1: okay Our, horford that's gonna be a high. One Chris,

1:03:11
Speaker 1: Easy let me see in The. Celtics, hmmm, man this one's.
1:03:21
Speaker 1: Okay this is getting tough right, here this is getting.
1:03:23
Speaker 1: TOUGH i think this is the first time Where i'm
1:03:25
Speaker 1: kind of a little stumped right. Here mm. HMM Nba
1:03:33
Speaker 1: All star for The. Celtics there's nobody that's popping into
1:03:40
Speaker 1: my mind right. Now maybe there's, wait, wait DIDN'T i
1:03:49
Speaker 1: Say Rashid Rashid wallace played for The celtics BECAUSE i
1:03:53
Speaker 1: thought he played for The. Magic did he, know, dad
1:03:57
Speaker 1: he played for The. Celtics Did Rashid wallace play for The? Celtics,
1:04:02
Speaker 1: man these damn mads keep popping up right. HERE i
1:04:05
Speaker 1: don't understand. This, okay it's worth a. Shot Rashid, Wallace Rashid.
1:04:11
Speaker 1: WALLACE i, think, boom there we, go boom point five to.
1:04:16
Speaker 1: One right. Here we got, one, two, three, four, five six.
1:04:19
Speaker 1: Seven we have seven diamonds right. Here so we're cooking right.
1:04:22
Speaker 1: Now we're showing our ball knowledge right. Now so. Hmm
1:04:30
Speaker 1: now there's only one. Left five hundred plus turnovers in her.
1:04:34
Speaker 1: Career But i'm already at all diamonds pretty much other
1:04:38
Speaker 1: than one played in the two thousands for The, Magic
1:04:41
Speaker 1: SO i don't have a guess for The celtics right.
1:04:43
Speaker 1: Now So i'm a. Guest this last one for The
1:04:44
Speaker 1: magic and played in the two. Thousand i'm gonna try
1:04:46
Speaker 1: to get a little bit. Better Did Martine gore tot ever?
1:04:51
Speaker 1: Play he? Did? Boom there we, go there we. Go, Okay,
1:04:57
Speaker 1: okay so we're at point nine to. One, now, okay
1:05:00
Speaker 1: we got all diamonds, here all. DIAMONDS i Think i've
1:05:04
Speaker 1: done this like two or three times With, josh SO
1:05:07
Speaker 1: i Know josh's been, caring But i'm proven right. NOW
1:05:10
Speaker 1: i got the elite ball knowledge at times whenever my
1:05:13
Speaker 1: brain wants to, function BECAUSE i think the last time
1:05:16
Speaker 1: we did a hoop grid it was When ryan was,
1:05:18
Speaker 1: on AND i think that was like three four episodes.
1:05:21
Speaker 1: Ago that was late at, night so this is midday right.
1:05:24
Speaker 1: Here my brain's flown right. Here, okay so we got
1:05:27
Speaker 1: all diamonds right? Here who had a four point zero
1:05:30
Speaker 1: eight rarity? Score so, hmm let's see five hundred plus
1:05:36
Speaker 1: turnovers for The, celtics AND i. CAN'T i can't mess
1:05:40
Speaker 1: up on this. One as soon AS i submit this,
1:05:42
Speaker 1: one the hoop grid's going to be. Over SO i
1:05:45
Speaker 1: need to be very selective as far as WHO i
1:05:48
Speaker 1: want or WHO i want to guess. Here first, off
1:05:54
Speaker 1: h five hundred plus. Turnovers, man this this one's, tough right,
1:06:03
Speaker 1: Here this one's. Tough five hundred plus. Turnovers these danga
1:06:08
Speaker 1: ads they keep showing up all the. Time makes no, sense,
1:06:15
Speaker 1: man this is. Tough. Man five five hundred plus turnovers
1:06:27
Speaker 1: is a lot of. Turnovers so it's somebody that's played
1:06:30
Speaker 1: a long, career Because i'm trying to think of somebody
1:06:34
Speaker 1: who didn't get much plain. Time So i'm thinking on
1:06:37
Speaker 1: the lines of somebody who had a long career and
1:06:40
Speaker 1: just happened to play for The celtics and just happened
1:06:43
Speaker 1: to play for The, celtics or it COULD i don't,
1:06:49
Speaker 1: know it could be somebody. Else let me see what
1:06:58
Speaker 1: what could be mm. Hmm i'm trying to think of
1:07:02
Speaker 1: anybody that played for The celtics that didn't get Much
1:07:06
Speaker 1: Brian scalabrini that would be an obvious one right, There
1:07:09
Speaker 1: BUT i don't even know if he got five hundred
1:07:10
Speaker 1: TURNOVERS i don't even know if he got that much playing.
1:07:12
Speaker 1: Time Did Mo? Williams, No Mo williams did never. PLAY
1:07:19
Speaker 1: i don't know. Why i'm thinking like somebody on the
1:07:21
Speaker 1: calves like like that two thousands calves Run Tony. ALLEN
1:07:29
Speaker 1: i feel like that one's too. Easy, chauncey that would
1:07:37
Speaker 1: be too easy right. THERE i THINK i Think chauncey
1:07:40
Speaker 1: played for The. CELTICS i THINK i think he. Did who?
1:07:45
Speaker 1: Else who? Else would be five? Hundred five hundred turnovers
1:07:51
Speaker 1: is a lot of turnovers in a. Career. Hmmm i'm
1:07:57
Speaker 1: trying to. Think i'm trying to, Think, man this is.
1:08:10
Speaker 1: Tough this is. Tough, Here Dennis, Schroeder there's There's Dennis schroeder,
1:08:22
Speaker 1: Too BUT i think that one would be would be.
1:08:26
Speaker 1: High who? Else who? Else who? Else who? Else could
1:08:38
Speaker 1: it possibly possibly? Be? OKAY i don't know if he
1:08:46
Speaker 1: played for The, celtics but if he played for this.
1:08:49
Speaker 1: OKAY i don't know if this guy even has five hundred,
1:08:52
Speaker 1: turnovers but he is Very he's also very, Known SO
1:08:58
Speaker 1: i feel Like i'm taking a risk. Here i'm Taking
1:09:01
Speaker 1: i'm taking a risk. Here so this guy is very
1:09:05
Speaker 1: known as far as With lebron on The. Cavs SO
1:09:13
Speaker 1: i THINK i want to submit my answer With Delonte.
1:09:15
Speaker 1: WEST i THINK i want to submit my answer With Delonte,
1:09:19
Speaker 1: west But i'm not. Sure the main thing, IS i
1:09:23
Speaker 1: think i'll for sure get under. TEN i don't think
1:09:25
Speaker 1: no way's gonna be over like four or five. Percent
1:09:28
Speaker 1: but that's the only GUY i could think of right.
1:09:30
Speaker 1: Now Delonte. WEST i don't. KNOW i don't know if
1:09:34
Speaker 1: he got the five hundred plus, turnovers BUT i know
1:09:37
Speaker 1: he played with The, celtics and he was a guy
1:09:40
Speaker 1: that didn't get much. Pty but did he get did
1:09:43

1:09:59
Speaker 1: we got a four only three to four rarety. Score right,
1:10:02
Speaker 1: here the score is better than. Not let's just round
1:10:05
Speaker 1: it up ninety four percent OF nba hoop. Grids, so and,

Speaker 1: honestly that didn't even take me that. LONG i THINK
1:10:11
Speaker 1: i started this maybe like twenty five thirty minutes, ago
1:10:14
Speaker 1: so it took me a little bit shorter THAN i.
1:10:16
Speaker 1: Expected but, yeah that that was gonna wrap it. Up
1:10:20
Speaker 1: that's that's a good way to end that. Episode all
1:10:22
Speaker 1: diamonds right, there ninety four percent better than any OTHER
1:10:25
Speaker 1: nba hoop, grids showing off my ball knowledge just a little.
