Coming up, I've got legends and retiring. I have retirement ceremonies, I have basketball March badness, I got more. Basketball got Marcello, it's all next, we're us about you by the Ringer podcast network. If you like, prestige tv check out the prestige tv pike, Ass Johannsen, I covered absurd to of winning time which went up tonight on HBO and it took the forever they held there,
with Jerry, was to a halt.
I almost feel like it is to speak out at this point, but we covered that we covered,
All of our memories, of whatever happened that absurd, with how it job with real life and everything else, chicken at the prestige, Stevie POD
which is gonna, be loaded. This week we got MRS Bays on there. We got the drop out. We're gonna have Bridger ten there's, there's more, I think for don't five episodes of sweet Jesus Prestige, tv podcast check it out check out our nfl stuff. The sweet too, because I was gonna break loose with the NFL frequency fridge, see signings guys get
waved the Brady staff, who knows what tempers up to now, but the ringer fell, show any Ringer draft show, which is the old fantasy feed that we turned into draft park, as least for a couple months, but you can catch all that stuff on those pod cast on Fan door.
As you know, we love federal. We are doing our Parlez that I'm meant to be doing. It was Wednesday in Friday, but I think what to do Monday, Wednesday Friday heading toward the playoffs.
The pop up on the Ringer gambling show with that J J.
House, was on there. On Friday, we had a five leg. Parlay be called at five leg Friday that we hit the first four legs was plus like eight hundred and fifty something like that in the last piece was the wizards just cover six and a half against the Lakers Lebron slept a fifty piece on us, but
I bought a lotta basketball game, it's tough, but that and Tom Brady and look KG in Philly whole bunch of stuff I'll come up next week
and was first, our friends were broken up. We are taken six specific time. Sunday ran recidivists here, which is the it taping at this package by twenty minutes, because we
riveted body Sixers MAGIC gave them
magic. Yet another fund bad and be a thing we'll talk about the six later later, gotta start Tom Brady, who officially now he's coming back. He did it with about five minutes, left to go and Kevin Garnett's retirement ceremony, which I'm sure he was hopefully not aware of, but we're. So I was not surprised. I guess this surprising parts of me. I felt all long now.
This over and over again on this park ass, he wanted to go to San Francisco, that's where he wanted end up. I never felt like he was done a he was done with him
and it seems like Camper outwitted him he did not want to leave. He did not want to stop playing football,
and it made it clear over and over again. Well, if he's going to play football, he's under contract, he's going to play here and now he's going to play football in Tampa
Were you surprised or nearer than is yet little bit I mean, but that the thing that I always think is really important. Remember is almost every NFL player wants to retire like
except the season at anyone. I've ever known, that's played the league, you talk to him right when their done and none of them want to himself.
And so I think the worst time to make any kind of decision is right after the seas.
Now you were on this early, though, and I think
information you know when you
about and retiring. So when you go back to that, has take us through when you
heard about it alluded to it that it happens to where we are at today is not like any information at him coming back, so I can't tell you that I am totally borne away, but yeah. Maybe I was surprised that some get involved in this
throughout the years that in MID January, that that might be it which it turned out to be, and then that you
It was either San Francisco retire. Then he retired that it will
brother. There is a my anything that might happen to wear the ownership group now the Steve Ross thing you know with that, but still staying Francisco to outer same Cisco, hadn't done anything with Jimmy. Yet
even though you could argue that is the time to trade him before he had free to see,
So why the hell not so they already said they're going to trade them, and I think I think everybody kind of deep down felt like this was headed for a Jimmy G, Brady Kind of swap some sort of thing and Brady from his MIKE Florio. Is writing a lot about this about how bro
He redid his contract last year to allow a little more flexibility with them with free agents in the understanding was. Why did this and you know, if I want to get out, then maybe we could figure something out, but I I I think
take away as tampered didn't want to. Let him go, I think they looked at as they feel they have a chance to win the Superbowl they might
that done. A lot of lobbying within the come back the question for me because I don't think the arrogance thing is great. There's a lot of stuff going on
You know, behind the scenes about bat and some of those that variance you for some, his quote: sternness yeah! That's where he very kind of almost challenge
Brady me a little when Pat Riley China got agro with labelling
near the end. There are needed that press conference than the branches went to Cleveland areas instead of
in, like manner, was an honor to Coach Tom Brady Sober.
Such a joy. We want a super boy, oh that guy everything he was kind of like air. If, if he's gonna play, it's gonna be here they ate, it was just
I thought it had a weird bob to it. So the thing to watch for me now is areas gonna, be the coach
you you would seem like. Oh yeah. Of course, he's gonna be the coach, but I don't know I don't think he did a great job last year and I don't think the buzz on him mutter there's a lot of like work ethic buzz within which have sure you ve heard
over the years- that I think is ok when you have Brady Command but I'll be interested to see. If he's the coach in a month, I would have thought because
we heard or gave all the reasons you gonna retire. First, all the family thing never makes any sense for small, because football now you work for four months and you work one day a week and again
Jenny. This practice and others is stuff, but you can go home. You can see your kids, you not too weak week, road trips, sir.
The element of like having a family and then be American Alec unfocused morons ago, is rational football for your ass. You can have way more family time than the other guys in the other sports have. So it's never really a great excuse and
No, no one ever want to be like a really. Let's talk about how much time you spend your family causes the dumb topic, anyone get into it. I have more thoughts on that. After that people get.
In the areas part of it you're like a weight. You guys actually disagreed this much and there were just headscarves. Arians is just not going to play the game. This way uses his personality. Its ways always been and
when things are going right. I think people appreciate it because of a real nice to him, and
I don't know what's it like Belgium was handing out flowers publicly Brady all time, but those guys were lie
step for so many years until a war once once Belgic kind of was like I'm coming
moving on from there, so I would have thought that had it
and repaired. Orders Brady think that now I am going to push for San Francisco like do we do. We know
tat. It is the next step right. Well, we know, like the timing of this lead to free agency, were Tampa trying to prove to you.
A bunch of people they probably want. Hey were actually gonna, try to contend for the title. The shared this is not a transition for us, so whether Brady's the they, whether they football for another qb, at least it's a sign. We're gonna have a good quarterback begone back to the areas thing I dont think Brady gets enough credit
for being kind of cold blooded and actually being a little bit of a grudge guy in a good way to me that a bad way, but where we stuck with Jordan, that became such a part of the law
save Jordan of O.
God, man, you look cross item, Michael Jordan, a drop fifty eight, our new Brady's little like that
through my dad who granted is that you know the number one authority and sports, but my dad always felt like with the difficult thing when they didn't stick up for him,
specially Bela check that that was kind of the beginning of the end. At some point that Brady, just
while battle unawares, Agora and then you had the garage loathing and all that stuff, and it was that it was a little like the Aaron. Rodgers short love thinks it. Brady was an open about. He wasn't overt about it. He wasn't concerning
the soap opera, but he's like a file it away. Guy and he's like that with everything I you watch, I watched all night
the better the reader he stole
members. Are the data got picked ahead of him in two thousand. You know that you had something in like everybody
didn't believe in him at every step in every sort of this person
arrival, and then he would beat that so at the Aryans thing, I think he filed that shit away. So I might, if I ate, you asked me to bet- is there in the coach this season? I would say it's like five thousand five hundred and forty five, yes or no, but I would be I'd, be not surprised that off. He was in the coach,
don't know the code should be because everybody I take personal, your grudge point, the maniacal thing with him. It's completely overlooked because he doesn't sharing of it rang. Doesn't he doesn't tell us about the work as much as some of the other athletes and other sports have told us? You know where it becomes part like look.
And the TB twelve and all that kind of stuff like he certainly marketed that part of the whole thing. But I dont think people true,
I understand that his his levels in a level eleven psychotic competitive nature, but
They can see that either the LA broad step feeder, I do the Instagram pose a leg. I heard something first take today that I'm not good anymore question mark he does it never done that for twitter?
our fears and because he retired, I know that
heard more stories from people that were a little bit more willing to share that we're just afraid even share, because there is also that part of Brady to his goes back. I think to some of his college guys
There is some dumb article about like what he was like.
It was somebody that wasn't part of the core inner circle, but he was like a periphery, dude and Brady was like flipped out about it.
And none of us here about any the stuff. Unless you you have some connection, so I would,
start here more these stories about like the way he approaches things and it's all entrusted by the way. None of this is really a criticism at all, but he does a very kind of all shucks public thing was:
and things were you knew you can really underestimate. That, I think, is all banks into. I think it's partly depend
this, I think it's part of the grudged thing in a look. He got grew
blow out, thereby gonna grab the biggest one of the few times it craft overruled. Bela check on a football thing and that's why they
check with salty is held in the same way that he felt, like somebody metals what he was doing, yellow whenever they made a ton of sense to me why the cap drafting quarterbacks anyway, you know because they drafted a few in the time the Tom was there.
Does it does remind your little? The rajah stop as well, but also that one guy has a much better resonate than the other guy he's bank clues, drat ferrying his soul crime every when they d fake eighty miles came out and
a K. It came out in those emails that what are his friend said, sent him this piece I did about Brady and Manning.
One of the things was about how Brady was gonna play longer and he wanna play too is forty five and now
how he's gonna win the library embrace.
Spotted through the peace and was I get it took a shot. It
in the email and I became
story that there was a world braided taxes but yeah
Brady banning always played nice. Publicly, hey Bird, hey, let's play those guys wanted to kill each other, it just eight. You know it didn't become part of the story like it becomes with others that, because they always played NICE Republic, where I endeavour-
Pissy, but I think behind the scenes. Those guys really want to be sure that I think the psycho part of Brady's competitiveness never got enough attention. I think you have to be for you to be the greatest or one of the greatest Tiger Ali
Eddie, you name anybody thereof, fucking crazy, Federer,
fetters. I know what a nice guys such it I guarantee Federer like the reason he kept going was cause you wanna keep bidding the doll
Gazprom. That's Serena Williams was share power but were Sherpa Beater once every time she put share popish shudder
her heart out. You has restarted the experts staff at right, we'll talk, but that on our new partners of now, I think you did that quality and I think people I think he is, could winked everywhere.
In the thinking that he doesn't ease that operate in that way, but he is by and by the way, like, I think,
what listeners understand
everybody knows these super competitive. We ve had glimpses into I'm just telling you that I,
heard stories were unlike holy. Shit, ok and I dont know, surprise is the right thing, but it just there's a level that I
I think is, is overlooked, and so that plays in the original brush point. None of this stuff with surprise
me. I think, from the most successful people are like meticulous grudge holders, because a constantly finding things to piss themselves off he had no, and I
I can't ever sit here and say when a guy retires and here's the opening to if there's like a judge,
a slice of you. That starts to have a little regret, and you can.
We'll play as well as he just did? Then you gotta keep play. I mean, I know it
to be forty five in August, but he's already smash,
through whatever ceiling, we ve ever thought a professional athlete in that sport should have, and if you want to keep doing it, go
I didn't do it and I know you want to say something about the family thing, because there's someone I worry that later died through it to other apiece alone. That is the state too long legends, the Al Qaeda state, Toulon, Jordan.
I don't know the last year,
is your last year, the second wizard year.
What he ended up doing, I think, adds to whom he is, but he
these were so shot at that I know what I'm doing them. One more. I got a big shore and that, as I go after, where fifty eight pounds ice bags of my knee after that was why he left his knees. Just could not
paint manning at that last year when they actually won the Superbowl visa waiver literally had no hope, though, waded through serene
Is still hanging like serene as the greatest female athletes member had there's no sides are her retiring. Yet sugary letter, my favorite boxer kept coming back. There was a
third Hearn spite Ali is the worst example this, where its? I please no
These are laid no more than he kept coming. Were everyone around Ali was just
why don't I not grabbed the rolling out there? He could. He said no, but he just create couldn't say no to people.
And he reading about a new stuff at all its clear granted it so sad. The homesite is just grant. Gretzky was another. Whole coggan keeps coming back alley, so called stabilized. It's gotta be arrested baby this year.
I think it's hard battle, but will you a same category boat? But on that point I say when you flown close to the sun,
and yet then you're out and the sun is no longer on you and you start looking around and then you start talking yourself into it. You know I like. I could still do this now. You know what I could still be one of the best and the other piece with Brady Vienna fees, bad. I use what other things that never gets talked enough about him and his fuckin smart, like he plays the odds. He looks at the big picture like. Why did they end up in temper originally, because that was the best place for whom the win the Superbowl, something like a broad and two thousand fourteen? Why did you go to Cleveland all he's gone home? That's not why he.
It was because that was the best place for him to try to win a title for the next four years and I think Brady, look that would happen in the odyssey Wilson gets traded out of their right. You look at the odds like Unfit
alright now take a second through in the area of sea right now, it's Green Bay plus three fifty Temple pursue fifty rams plus
Fifty nine or sixty one in the nineties looks like they're gonna have tray lance the Dallas like he could easily get another superbowl side to me. It's like that. We could talk about the family stuff in a second, but did he knew he could still do it and the road map to the superpowers easier and then say so, regardless of which team design tempers San Francisco easier path absolutely every day.
Step. Two quarterbacks I mean you still throw Kyler in that mix to Africa, about good quarterbacks native, see, are actually mean. The end of sea advent as bad as is black game, was in an him openly, hopefully be able buck. This trend last appears, holding upload more physically. Just has been able to buy
Is this mean you're not surprise at all, and does this mean that you also or anathematised I so
I were in on that one at the edge
I'm not about the date of its just go part of it? I'm not not close the door, and yet, when we come back, let's take a quick break. We come back. I want to talk about spending more time with your family
subject. That is just perfect for us to spend. Five minutes are the other piece of this Brady thing and we were on dubious because we ve seen we ve been through this play before, where the athlete or the celebrity does
and now that I have more time to spend with my family. I feel like I've done this rift on this package ten times, but you know.
I am about. I left the SBA and second week of in May two thousand fifteen, and I they were still pay me for five months and I got at five months to figure out the next thing thousand. This is amazing, eminent figure out what to do next
spend time with my family, and I remembered nine weeks in was like a Tuesday, and I I decided I needed by some soccer ball for my daughter, so we could do drills
and I spent an hour googling like oh where's, the best place to buy them like I'm going to go there and I go, and I find some soccer balls than like. I do
pump out there and have the right pump. Araminta fight was like four hours. That was my Tuesday and unlike what the fuck am, I
I gotta go to work again by by MID July. I was ready to do podcast.
On the corner of Hollywood. Combined with somebody I was so bored, I love my family.
As you know like, I spend a lot of them by family, but you can still be competitive and do work shit. They eat it I'll be with the family, it's great, but you could still be.
RO. You could still do stuff, for I wonder of Brady. Just looked at this for weeks in his eye, I write some time time the family I'm good. What are your thoughts? That's always always football football appointed, but you just have like if Europe simply profession,
A spot mean that shit's grind normal spring training. You they're January, make to play off. You go in October. If you're, really good you gonna, maybe November USA or an older player, maybe have accuse you know just entering high
the one you can't go to any has games simply we have a basketball
coaches to my favorite. One is when the basketball coach steps away, mutual understanding means you get fired and then going to need to spend more time with my family ends up on like a local broadcast somebody symbol,
I did you're still travelling for forward gates. Nobody would argue about. Sometimes I felt
half the guys that were analysed at ESPN work there just to get away from their families their like this. The maize is big of the pro aptly too. You have been on travel teams since you were a teenager. You know you play pro sports of your good, probably ten, fifteen plus
years so for your middle teens. Do your mid thirty's, all you ve had I'm always jealous, not just about the accolades being rich and get to play. Games the rest, your life, you just get to have that many bodies around for that many years.
It must be unbelievable bodies until you're, late Thirty's through a you where you have let you know some thus kings guys. Thus fuck you guys, don't you say it's a cabin roommates and therefore that thirty to thirty
so the whole crew they get there.
Crew, they live near each other. They just keep it going because then to be plucked from that too,
and suddenly, like will wait a minute? We can't just go to Murphy's on,
Thursday, like what we right wing,
we had a plan. Are we gonna go to this right in now, either
it's a harder adjustment for a lot of guys that have little time and that's why you know. Sometimes I ask eyes it made millions who become friends them it. He s, behaviour like. Why do you even do this shit
you really want to be here, wrap in fucking gains at one. I am, and a guy I'll be like
I love everything about my family and I wouldn't she trade change any of it, not trade.
It's just nice to get out of the house for like four days and be up here and see some of the other guys bulshit in the greenroom. Go out to a dinner, you know whatever, like those guys used so used to patting your
teen train that way. So it's just
something? No one ever wants to say like no one's ever gonna tell an athlete I'll. I doubt it. I don't think that's true. Even if
but he caught a knows. It's one of those things. It just sounds good and people say it and I'm sure there's things now that you know when you not playing
sports you're not gonna, miss some of the other stuff, but look man, you can't you can't decide, come back in a couple years, if you leave it this church. So in the face time, Canada,
digital era. I bigots Louise you to be away from your family to heed our member thought with, though, why
time. In my career I just felt like I was actually doing a disservice to my family is like the first Friday countdown we're traveling. That's really busy anyway, and I was missing stuff like I was missing.
My daughter's games were like
by sons, a recital and that's where you start to feel like giving been carried. The you missed any was recitals
Ben, doesn't even remember having the recital, that's the thing, but it's these memories. You have of your kids at these checkpoints and that's that's why you're like holy shit, like I'm, really miss since that Brady's kids are a little older, but I'm sure some of them were playing sport, so you you start to default that
and you Don T just want to be there for every moment your kids life. I do you want to try to find a balance or whatever I just think Brady's. You know he's been concern.
And by the goal of not just being the goat,
going down as like this career that will be talked about for as long as we have a planet
Why wouldn't even have already very yeah you so now it's like you ve placed a forty, five and his good next year that at this point yet
does it even make a difference? If I don't get it does I dont think it does, but I think the difference to him would be on already
and if you save yourself in an honest moment, you know what I'm not ready. I think any of us would have had big decisions. I remember this she'll stupid, but the couple times that I could Alethia spin. I was like on already like bs.
Like you know what you're not going to walk around that place anymore, and I can see all the cool guys you're not going to be. You know, and I really didn't close to your goals. Rudy everybody be thrilled to get Saul. My boring rant phone calls and I have different id
he's gonna, like my muse, like that growth Mancha gems,
I think any of us to have a major major decision you have to Canada. Have the issue now were not always honest with ourselves right, as you think you can trick yourself. It had like I'll be fine, unique relationship. I share my Munich care like up. I allowed myself.
Anybody and in this case praises way cooler and things are much more important.
Better than any stuff than any of us our. But if there's a mobile,
Where he's like you know what I don't think, I'm fully ready! That's why you have come back and let it so funny the way he did at the back, that they happen tear. But let's get it. What what's going on? I have ever some connected friend whose convinced that Rogers was at least a small piece of this for Brady his second competitiveness we discussed here
where you know you get so much attention, especially when you're as great as Brady you and the super bowl is that even the Superbowl last year that goat go go, go and then last year they lose and then it's like Rogers Rogers Rogers, this guy's the best got to pay him and weather
without the Yankee bees coming up on the other end and you can
Look here immortality your brain like where, oh my god, this is a very moves on and that's what happened. Stetz scatter happening abroad.
Whether he retires the weathers out and Allison peepers gonna move on to the next people
and how you react to that. So it could not have been a piece of the two like I'd now, I'm now the spotlight again,
as you have to have a little bit of the look at me, quality to be to get to that level. So maybe that was a small piece, but I got a better thing for you that,
Brady had clutched the other diners right now.
Therefore, our clutched, the scotch have Forborne yeah. Did they do they do our greatest gotta sign with clutch? They scattered the Niners double checked,
but a player, maybe braided as the heart, and he starts to season with the bucks.
But he's out of shape its like by his off TB authorities as they do for the other football. So Brady starts. Training camp shows up twenty pounds, overweight, super sweaty and just kind of goes from. There doesn't it's kind of plan, but there's just some quarters that is taken off and just kind of tries to steer a, not restrict Pacific do at heart and hearted paved. The way
Yeah, that's it that's another! Well, I guess, because this happened, I'm not closing the door on the San Francisco thing, even though it be a little weird. You know, if he's, if he's tweet, unless we can go
Is it aware that everything else it at the last six weeks will see this story doesn't filled than to me? Among the record, I would suck basketball we didn't get to hear from ran. Priscilla
after Thursday night that Sixers gave issued already done your pack ass, your schedule is done for the weak
and we didn't get to hear you after a game that contained a lot of things that you love about sports and don't love about sports on one said things were vindicated surmise were opened in a lot of different ways by big take away, and then we just watch magic filleted days.
I just I don't enjoy watching the still retain the successful used or like us. They can. I just-
but I like, I know, a kind of basque bilateral aid. Why shouldn't beat it all I like watching a bead matches. I dont like their standing around.
The standing around I don't enjoy. So I know they're going to figure it out and I ll be better, but I just having enjoyed watching them since trick, but from what you saw on Thursday night. Did you take change it off your thoughts
and the big trade? I think we're gonna hold off on the shack, Obi comparisons? Fair. I think that's fair,
Because, as soon as a trade happen, I'm I'm in a sound well, I don't think I am I
Sometimes I worry like you when I'm about to make a point. People realise that I am actually not contradict myself, because I think that you, separately
I think there are six deserve, a ton of credit for getting art for sticking to their guns.
Reading. This thing out, I think, lesser ownership in ownership. It would would succumb to the
sure I think a GM. That's a little. You know little final, just just less
So what are fighting their beliefs may a given in and taken back a lesser plant? Can we all agree that getting harden no matter? What we're about to say about the guy
getting him for Ben Simmons, who was never to play for you again getting
return like it, worked out in it of working out spots in the depth and obvious that don't ruin agreement on that come up.
Was, I agree idea. I grew, the Benson is part of our,
Well, I haven't changed by opinion since they made the trade. I wasn't willing to consider this a slimmed down for either side because add real questions about both of the main guys above the trick. The item
they are the way. This a really weird lesson. Industry is not so much what you got, it's what you got rid of and you got,
the ban, Simmons BAR, and then you got rid of quitting harden whose now quit two years in Europe
in eighteen months, some like that and as the most chequered plan record of anyone in this entire generation slogan. That's it
So even if I'm telling you I give credit to Darrell, it didn't mean, I thought they were fuckin perfect. It didn't mean that all of a sudden,
Hardin going. Okay, now he's going to buck this trend of over a decade. Long of failure, I went to the playoff failures again when this is somebody and he wears it on his face. When you see it all right, and I also think that there's times when people lose the playoffs, it doesn't mean that they're a mess, I think, there's other times were players
aren't that great and end up in a great situation, and then we somehow attribute them to being successful. Playoff players. That's not really the case. I went through all of the hard and stuff again in the playoffs, two thousand and twelve
It is a very competitive finals, even though the gate he had back to back to four ten games, one for nine from three he played thirty five minutes ago, so people sell hard was sick,
in whatever they played at all times of culture, will not forced labour and the brown kind of worked in net serious, but people felt at that was one of the reasons. Ok see wanted a trader because he is bad enough funds and by the way he became way better. His whatever our ceiling was for him, while he was with ok, seek other gaily, cyrillic, seven games when that any rhythm he goes to humanity.
Sabena level becomes a much better place, all the credits element that which are yet which we we were expecting if you watch them, two thousand thirteen versus diplomacy
elimination, game, six, Yosemite, twenty, two, the wars.
Whatever is maybe the tooth two thousand fifteen three one come back against a clippers. You got benched when they made the combat that whole thing turned out
By going to other players in the coppers fall apart, I was there and I watched him at the towers
that participating in any of the cheering. Until there is about three minutes I saw the what's your conference files, which I was seen forget about that he made it was comes files on his own. This first time against golden state. He was
who for eleven in the elimination game zero from three fourteen points neck by the way, winnable series. I think people shocked
went up to the kind of lump that team with the team that went so.
The three and nine the next year, but that warriors team they hadn't, really bad. There is like the favourite before
They were beat above and they had harder than they had Dwight. How
did they had? You know I from a talent standpoint. It was pretty eve. It was gone.
I'd better two thousand seventeen. This is one of the worst ones on his residence
the game six lost in the second round of the spurs elimination did he had ten points to four lever overall to provide for three? He,
walked around and that game where you're like what is,
without a gamer. It seem like you got concussed, yes, there are, but the problem is he's. Had that look a few other
I'm too, and then I turned into like. Oh no he's tired. I might look you just shouldn't be as tired, because off the ball he's not giving you any two thousand and eighteen, that's the western conference finals against the war.
They're up they lose game. Six. They was games, seven game, seven. He was to thirteen from free granted. He had thirty two six, six,
You have to have watched that gave the sooner the box for four turnovers in the fourth quarter. The whole thing you, if you,
though he lived you're like knitter, fallen a parting it yet November. Two thousand nineteen. I think this is one of the terrible ones
do they lose the golden state in the second round? This is the game.
Exclaimed there at home, borders just lost your aunt. You like look. They should be able to give him at this point. We finally nodded after this game. It's mine,
We did. We did when we did the stiff curry pyramid, that's otherwise.
Why asked about this? Because I was in New York City and I think I have like for my bodies in their like what are you doing? I was like I'm just in your city watch this game. I myself I'm so happy because it comes back its biggest missed opportunity. Thirty three points for stuff in the second have zero point: seven, the first nokia- and this was in-
even about horses numbers was about what you guys gonna lose to him ass. They just lost, ran twenty twenty against the Lakers game for whatever to four eleven. They were totally out man.
Now, don't let him up for their decisions?
we want our home and he absolutely suck. He did. He did second decade, but they were up
had no chance that series and then last year, in order to make them a walkie numbers against them. When he came back say, are totally fair is hurt. The point is: when you watch these games in the moment he is built up. There are very good players, stir great players that have awful play asking.
He seems to have a lot of him. A lot of them and what's gonna happen is when they get employ ass. His duty.
I on tv that goes, offers careers. Twenty three five and six. I don't want to hear it. This guy shows up cause. I've already seen it happen, and what answer
is the overall numbers are very misleading for harden, because it just seems to be this component, that's missing from him, and it was all on display in that Netscape were the nets came in
at a certain level and the Sixers with one of their main guys, not indeed in harden in your like. What's up with you tonight, there are far too many big games real at what the fuck is going on with this guy, and I think the rest speaks for itself itself was. I talked about it after the game, Gamma Thursday, that you could tell pretty much
men at Saint, where was gone, and sometimes it does just that competitiveness. That seems to be missing when, when the moment of the game and the aggressive this slash, competitiveness of the game is gonna, kill
maybe at a certain level, and you could tell who Watson who does it doesn't and it
seem like areas like I'm taken this guy Solomon
and he was guarding them. He was in his mark. He was
falling around and the dead balls, which I was. I was look for when that that's when guys really start to tread fucked with each other is therefore
them around they're, just kind of in their space in existence. In my car,
I wanted to be there, and then he went to a birthday party that night. But that's, listen! Your train for Hardin! You get the stats he's a wonderful player. He can play all different kind of styles. You can be a little bit more of a point guard. He could be more of a lead scorer if you need that, but you're. Also getting these nights where you know five minutes in.
James doesn't look like start up tonight and I I don't know those just start, my kind of guys, eight sectarian three it with such a fuss.
Killer that game many. What's the next game today too, and I was out, listen instead, bash came on Pakistan to does seventeen cause. I went back and I listened to it because he talked about
New teams uses the fresh air, Katy went to the workers and we were taught by the potential and he was talking about the know how teams have when they ve been together cause. I was asked him about Turkey and NASH that first year in Dallas
do you think they could have won the tyrants? Like I don't know, we had a band together enough, yet there is no how their society
short had yeah when you Ben together for a few years, and it's weird but Katy
I read, though they haven't really play together that much they still felt way more comfortable as combo than I was expecting in that gate, my get I was alarmed as the South expand thinking. Oh man, these guys Katy files, if you'd be twice Harry, had been one of the biggest shots in the finals. Everyone is certainly not afraid
and a ages? It was illuminated night. It was
That is why, like the steam. Finally, I think now is like finally alacrity, so I did my my somebody would be I'm I like what do I do I like what they did at the time
but it doesn't mean that I'm just signing off on them winning the east, although I still even my reservations about harden, I dont believe
absolute and life I deftly noble even at sports. I think one of the most dismissive things you can say about players. Is this guy? Isn't gonna win, but you say he's capable of winning liked him, yet Russia Westbrook is incapable of winning. I feel really good about that
even with harden in the should I just went through. I don't know if I'm foot cuz like what, if somebody goes crazy, where's Maxie keeps this up. You know what's going on here is showing up. You know. I don't know, I don't know about that part, their death
leave her like Drummond seems to be completely inspired since this tree to occur,
super fired up, and then it gets back to just no offense MBA Twitter. How dumb it can be
sometimes were like in this past week. It's a heinous goodest, Durrant he'll again, because
You know harden was advertised as somebody that was in that that Durrant Neighbourhood and that's where
he's gonna get such an Irish for me? Am I gonna carry ravages Arnold Curate, the p r is impurities forfeits and obscurity did during peak Houston. If you think those fuckin geyser
a neighbourhood as basketball players, and we just can't talk about basketball, the two
whose personality have changed the most from, like a girl. Alpha standpoint
said trafficker, Leubronn internet in the brine. It started happening that Second Cleveland, Sir
and finally culminating in the two thousand eighteen play out where it was just. It seem like the two thousand limb final seem like a hundred years before that two thousand anti plants where he was just like. I am unstoppable and the toughest
mother fucker on the court. The rain has some of that too cause the red. You know he would.
He was always like a little bit of a fanesca. You could buy them around, but you could get in his head a little bit, I'm in the fridge, the three hundred and twenty one collapse against the warriors in twenty. Sixteen, like he didn't play. Well, wasn't just a Klay Thompson game. We broke that down in the book of basketball, take the rant and Westbrook. Like I kind of suck those last three games. They had a chance, especially game five. It really had a chance to just stay or better. I thought than the word
the word banged up stuff all thing their chance. They could do it, but now I there's like a killer sites him, and you could see a last year in the boy ass in this
I think KD believes I'm the best part of the week, which leads to the next thing we're going to have, but it's funny how many prayers right now honestly believe that they're, the best player in the league cuz, I think Lebron thinks it. I think yeah that's thinks it kind of think Lucas
I'm not saying glucose it's justified at all, but I really think the way LUCA cares of stuff. I really think she thinks he's the best part of the week, which is just it's good for us, because I like having all these guys who think they're the best oh and it beats the other one. I think Abby feels like I'm the most unstoppable put in the week so delete.
Good shape is my point, the otter yoke. It's in there too. I maybe January's himself differently than those guys, but I mean the way he comes in a just, and I know tempers comrade about we care, but
I don't think the recent seems six. They nine days he was a brutal scare
I was half yoke is wiped by Saturday. The the gold stake aim was in great in I thought, called state will get to this matter.
I'm maybe to say now like they did a really good job attention to detail. Rather, gold state may have turned a corner here. No internet dream on back tomorrow, not everything else where their defensive attention to
Ok, you just say: let's just muddy it up and throw bunch a hands in his face and they were consistently on it. But dangerous come off it at brutal schedule. Denver was dead. Last are two nights ago against Toronto, or was it I forget its rider. Sarah knows last night a threat,
that was do just like. Other debt in you know like latina now, maybe go and states finally navigated out of this terrible stretch where they're going to come.
Eyes wins. Now. You have house the box at home last night, but.
And yet I think back to your original point. That brings it all the way back to Katy
is this is what I love about Katy.
It's a lot of what I like about in B. Is we got to see some personality? You know I I rarely by first thing is if you're real
get to know. You like, I think we know exactly who Doran is even with the flaws at times of people get on this case, and I go back. I know people always write em off ass. He went to gold state and I totally understand I'm not telling that person at the wrong, but Katie's get this attitude slashed Joe.
That combines in one of my favorite personalities that I've ever seen play basketball and that's why I I really
I'm annoying about it when I think like yeah, when it's right, I just don't want to put anybody else ahead of him. I just don't and then for him
have an awesome. We can get. Fifty did eying as the Knicks
Romania's doing this cycling through of like us or off a demarche, arose and friend VP for eight fifteen days an hour
the realization that the rack guys really good and it's not everybody, but there's just a lot of it and it it it. I feel like it's almost insulting Durant to be like. Oh, you had to be convinced again. I love the utter disdain that him and
We had for the Sixers said on Thursday. They went right it and be they weren't afraid to him at all. They made that really clear German was the most inspired he's ever banning its, and I don't an over the trader step that happen or in the six years
It has got him pumped up, but then after the game, I was surprised
you know this one was, and I did our reaction pot. The red was ass. Like you know what was the game plan? He said:
we want to run them off the floor. There slow they don't get back on defence. For somebody to just basically say
here's what we wanted to do and it works, and they have no answer for it. That tells me that he thinks they'll never figure, that peace out and I went back and I watched some of the first half on Friday and he was right. The date they just that
is that there are playing fillies too slow and Billy cannot handle that in a baby starts a wonder like between the fact that I don't love fillies bench and that their slow. What happens when teams just do? That's it
Are they going to have an answer for it? Then you have cuz. I don't feel like it's going to be able to figure this out on the fly. Necessarily, I would be concerned about the Sixers Fifth, because you went all any thoughts
shit well for all the love right after that they were the first for games. You just
like the shadow over thing, was insane. It's ok, but as good as it looked, it wasn't in his bad looking and overtime win barely against Orlando, like I'm, not gonna, freak
totally pivot the other way and sailing okay. Now they sock
it concerned it has today are there there are ways to beat them and the fact that their benches,
wrong and that their slow are real banks in when used are gone. Well, we do
daddy green, like ok, I like any green, but that's Dana Greens that flipping the sooner he figures
for a night. I guess there's get so a couple of things that, because it is
collection of personalities, room like wheat, which way my go in here and because I like
grant and beat so much they kind of cancel each other out. Then I get to that next level, where I'm going.
Ok. Well, who do I like more hardener tiree as harden playing?
and maybe the most surprising storyline of the entire seasons that Cairo get everybody do agree with them in March, like everybody,
I'm guy reside now being like. Let us play lab. I would not like whereby back robots about other said. Okay, I will buy
we're make now had half that, but then you see
Ben Simmons. You know where I dont know
strategy is. I know it's been talked about and reported that it's like no have em go to this Philly game, Cecile, poorly
to be treated as evidence for
I'll untenable. The situation was and go
warm up and you
I and then
met. Look all admit if I were a Sixers player.
Simmons is up cheering for certain that happened like theirs.
They were and be got stripped and he was like up cheering indeed clapping. He was like the first guy of the nets bench I couldn't say fuck off fast enough. If I were on the six years being like dude, I'm like playing,
Yeah Regis that he thinks there's any chance. You should get that money back. I had to be its that Stephen I talked about it today and the shows just like you
Can I get paid now you do in short, for anything, and now,
now you're ok near on the net speech. But I don't know
I just don't see at some point. There's gotta be some line like if you just not working in you community
with your employer, there's gotta be some line that you don't get all your money so we'll see, I it's very clear that this is going to be a protracted something lawsuit. Aren't we had to break we are.
Resought aggregate top five or one. Second, I this is exciting, become an annual tradition for the Simmons resell of Sunday collaboration. Our best five lists are tied
twenty best five fibres, it's a great way of putting it because idea, every NBA ban and people do this. You should have to every six months. Do this, and maybe maybe
Do it like middle? The season, where a little late on it, because then you could do it after the play offsets
ridiculous at all is because I think in the play off people fuck it up and they start doing these. We are top ten list and top five.
And it's funny that you say top twenty two top five, because I think I can go like twelve to thirteen deep, that I've heard argued at least for, like top seven or eight. I think the top for slash five are unassailable this point, but this is the exercise I make my list every month and part of the reason I do
I just moved stuff around side. The last you're alive moves around that lot. I laid my top thirty five and I do it every month, so I did it on forever.
Twenty first I had it on arm was already up. This one is from. I did a trade barrier in December. I just like making this cause I'd like to see our changes. So when I did this November ten best players right now and I had Yesterday- Yokul Currie drop off Dodge Paul George Lebron James Joy and beat does the top it. You had withdrawn behind Paul George there, which is best players right now at this moment, not that that any big picture step just who is playing the best right now, but now that we are trying to do said the little different now we're trying to do the best players right now, a little big picture, it yeah yeah stepped back. So you have five. I had a like a six. I think it might be six because the five one I feel stupid
I still think I'm right and I think my definition of this, which is different from nobody else, is that for me to put you as a top five plenty mba, there needs to be like a true your run of you having that it can't be like this is worth Tatum. It reminds because, during the brought the subjects broadcasts, Albania was like hesitated, stop fuck Tatum playing at the top,
I player, so some people argue that, but if you're actually seeing like is there is there anyway, you put five current players had adjacent animal Corsica,
I, and I think some of it is a little bit a sprinkling of some play our success in there too, and then I think,
some other exceptions were job area has been so good with a team. That's also
really good and has taken up to just an extraordinary level for him.
Then I dont have John my top five, but I haven't been that next group. So if I just give him
top five and how I do in no particular order wait hold. I cannot practise properly for the social media break up. Yes, this is our top twenty top five players. Is there twenty twenty top top five pillars?
The premise is, you are no longer to say allowed to say somebody's a top five, where, if you then make a top five less in that persons that are we're just calling for accountability it, sir, are you a top five where'd you? Don't you don T get to be thrown around? Haven't you say in your top
because we just it doesn't sound great. When somebody has an awesome play off game,
And then you go yes top fifteen and the tv shows like asshole put like red.
Look if you think about Jimmy Butler had his little run their where it was. I give you thought
the butler wasn't a top ten player. You are ridiculous and everybody is really good he's, not a top ten plutonium. Yet.
Devon Booker had that saying little run were deaf Booker, who had been to play off game before last year.
And your life. I really liked a Booker a lot.
And this is an unbelievable run. Randy's put a big numbers. I everybody wanted to hamburger energy. I can name ten guys before I get stem Booker. I just then I think that's fair.
Yeah yeah yeah do you think,
You want a tv show. Somebody say like well trays been great look. Then they got to the east confines. Nobody expected this from land he's top ten and then you're like wait. You gotta keep track of it all cause, if you add up all the guys, get thrown around conversation,
is much longer that's why we need to do this through it. I saw tat, I really
polish, they who put, who put it this way, but I thought I was really smart and I would give you credit affect remember,
because I found it away now. Forgetting said it, somebody said yeah. This is the best for the weak yoke is the most viable. Where interact cigar you'd want for one day and if you think of it in those three categories that actually make sense of the car, that's good.
Add sweet when I, when tweet, when I said I remember who said that is yeah goddesses the best where yoke is both viable the best, if I needed
do, you think, is better. The director.
She's more reliably on the court. Well then, I can't I can't counter that cause you're right, you're right about that, but if the from governor of game, seven that could have one guy and the planet and taken there, it
I was mess around second spectrum today and there
shot, quality breakdown they have yet
and what you ll notice, is
track british shot, no kind of like say the quality of the shop and the best players actually have lower quality shots because there
ass to bail out. So many often suppositions right therein
like eight hundred plus, attempts will go up after his game today, so I
by eight hundred attempts Durant has the second were shot quality at fifty one qualifiers, she's number fifty two roses actually had last, while so of the fifty one the qualify he's the second worst,
quality, but then they do another thing, whether your shot quality and then like expected and whatever, and how efficient you are on the collection of all these shots, Durant's thirty percent better than yoke its number one.
It's it's so off the charts. What direct does
in relation to how his shots are judged.
A really hammer home. This point out sickle who's, the worst, the difference between your quality of
In your factor, this on these Westbrook has one of the highest shot. Quality numbers many entirely, because nobody fucking guards him, and he is twice as bad as the next week.
Guy in that category so he's borne away the worst below what you'd expect him to do with the quality of shot that he has in its in its twice as bad as the next worse guy? In a category, I hear tat
I've no order, Yon, Us Yoke, it be direct.
I really struggle was deaf and abroad is, I know if I don't pull the brain,
framework and of getting sixty points in a game here at fifty plus a bad week to not have Lebrun in here in your top five, but I'm going with my got a guy, I think impacts winning more. I'm gonna put stuff fists and I put the bronze six
My list with seven and I had look on it is brought out at La Braun was on it. I had Janius Doran as one day one be yoke. It's three
And that I had the brown LUCA beating carry out together.
And I don't really will react about his tears here. While I listen, I don't feel like Leubronn could do it every night. You know you watch again might be used in game, which I know his stats for fine, but it's just like. I just don't feel like.
Yokut just listen to it overtime, game to Houston or that whatever the hell I watched the net but he's his best is still really good
I'd that where's game I went to when he just you know his best is still up there. It has to be respected. I just don't know if he could do it for a hundred games anymore. I know yadda scan the rain. Had the fluke injury yoke is like doesn't seized at the same speed.
Every week the curry peace curried drop the little for me. I had him seven than that, but Adam in the second group, but probably the last pick, because it day he does feel the dream on dependency was was a real thing. I think would dream. I was up and we set about it. There is, as I say this as one of the biggest F clarifies the earth. I just think it's easy. It's harder for him now carry a team.
That doesn't have either appoint guard point forward whatever, and I dont really blame him for the last two months because they don't have that guy, but it should.
Oh how important dream I was to be right, but the proper step is thirty percent for three and people are acting like he's missing,
because this figure, I think it's a little harder for him to get what he needs to get against really good teams. If he doesn't have he's not a point out that said peace that I I just think the Mr Mauro begin needs that somebody to play off a few dough
he's the he's play off of Guy Wigan should abandon all star starter. So I think that trick.
I think they have more help. I think George, who would be the second best later right now, if you weren't Lakers, I funding of that guy and I love what Kurt did recently. You know in certain mill,
if there is Milwaukee the realise, still lean stuff, because top five just sounds cool a right, but
really talking about is maybe it a foreign and then five through it cause. I would put jobs
I think I've been so special that in that group, with LUCA Leubronn,
and I would have jaw there if you want- puts stuff into that second tier of of of five through aid, I'm not
are you a ton, although I think you have to point out was deaf dumb,
or what is shooting. Numbers are and the slight lol, but he went through and, as you know, slipped by his standards, he still
impacting every single possession, because everybody is constantly freaked out, get where he is because he is in perpetual just perpetual motion. So
David and our favorite see made on the last other than unison yoga chatted, there's just it he's on the great email listed. So I have seven and my top five survived the pick up. Just like I have to pick up five, I'm just gone backwards yacht history, Yoke which have to be on, I think, a bead. The way he's played this year has to be on soft.
Take low Brian when his dreams, what seven games under five hundred yards- your problem, you know, but if he had any Davis's there are we going like this is ridiculous. You need have like. I don't wanna, be disrespectful broad, but I think that's how important those first for our cassettes I mean
The lesson in all this is that it's not a far it's a top for yet twenty twenty two right that I dont think you
really have anybody else track that top for I don't like a good argument for anybody else
yeah you're right. So we have tat
and then I had John Tatum into rose and red underneath that top seven, because I think night after night they ve been able to produce in their teams win job the most successfully but ass. They jaws team is really good and I think that's got swept under the rug at least a little bit, especially those of Jackson
I respect those another big when France, because I didn't really understand the chair Jack's a thing until the last couple months, but I like that team, jazz, absent the fulcrum of it but Tatum Job the rose in those three guys are winning purse and I think that's that if we do a top ten, that's why I'm finished in the top ten that add cp, three Mitchell and Booker as the next three after that. Aren't you give me give ye you're, so the youngest Katy, your kitchen, Beaver, were Syn
there, and then you got Lebron stuff and LUCA yet and then again slave driver again, then I think the job paid him and Tatum Tourism at an after.
Then it's gonna stay there. Long term of this was an aberration year. This is who he is now, but he just started to many nights.
Had they been misdeeds all year and
they get the games. I love the shots. He gets.
It is not a day with Tatum,
first time in a while that they went against an acid defensive team that really exposed the subjects biggest weakness, which I talked about here before us. I coup is that second score,
If somebody just trapping Tatum or take them out or defending the way Taoists, who asked why trust on Boston to get a good shot in the default would be jailer. Brown is twenty three points again, but that's not not really the tragedies that trust
the debate on the same like with Phoenix they need to get a shot. Chris Paul D Booker can get a good shot right. You know why
those two guys can get you a really good shot with Boston Tatum's, the only one that could really consistently get good shots when its really shuts down like it did today, and that's what I don't know. I just feel like when you go to that next level. Cp3 Mitchell, Booker, despite different Cp3, just you know, he's at a different stage of
Mr Mitchell, wait where you stand on him. So this is really interesting because you're too rose and pick for this year, like the rosy, make, make first team all NBA which, when I talk about quickly after this year, which I think is different, then I think it should be totally about that
These list, I think, should become about your more recent razumihin, not so recent that you're no Tatum to get from the top ten, your eye,
indeed, some of the numbers for him or are not accept the shooting number which is pretty low by his stand. That's what I thought I could do better. I actually feel it there's a lever for Nagoya buddy. You know in that him against Katy. Last week,
Sunita that got you have to be taken seriously. Now is your in tops whether you have intense? What do you have them? Twelve slash, thirteen like she's in the mixed up in a real wet, so Tatum. I believe the league in defensive win shares
You know as a two way. Guy he's real guy he's twenty eight
are, you know, he's only nineteen.
And so when I saw that I was worth his current like why that you know
jumps out. As you know, you don't always love all the defensive numbers, but it tells him good stories in the extremes there. So I have no problem thrown Tatum in their as if to say, my knights got because two Rosen to my original
like for this year. He's gonna get envy people votes. He deserves all those accolades, but because this is still an,
Level, that's just still and present for basketball player to have this kind of,
year at this age, I'm like ok, do I put him there.
But I found somebody with it this happen, sometimes that where there is an aberration top ten season by somebody,
ok, I'm right. Let's say I remember that Europe, member that you're joking Noah, was like one of those sixpence guys in the wake of that year, member that
yeah. He wouldn't have thought he was a toxic sky for the half decades they, but for one year he was one of the most powerful guys, the league and accounting,
matter. Look it, but when I have outlets arose, let's think about it
Gray under Rosen,
as I do. I wanna heads Andrea had them less think about the normal guys
Group that we would have had like Dame bad timing. I, like Dame
felt like even at the worst. His name is a guide like big moment you bill, I gotta skies, taught me like. Ok, it's not that buddy. I don't know. I didn't feel comfortable
dame outside the top ten July ineligible, wild
Jaya Damon collide eligible holidays.
I haven't seen her them really are hardened to stop putting him unless ok who's been taught tat deserve. We saw it in
creeping up to even higher rank. You see, has sat Azure yeah going into the gate. Today was twenty three ten innate isabel every single time is not about to say it to you up.
Throughout the Booker Mitchell one I always gonna give the tie their Mitchell, even though I like Booker, but then, when you think about Chris Paul, it's probably bad
for him because I might put Chris Paul I headed arose in because even if you go, what are you talking about? Look at their numbers, Chris Paul as numbers guy? We anybody Chris Paul is one of the ten most important players, the seas,
without what like would you agree without, even though his numbers would never put him in that group, so I might
If he had been heard, I would have had him one of a higher, but now is hurt. So I'd I'd knocked down a Dutch that's fine site. I probably put Paul Eleventh Mitchell that wealth, that's exec or Adamite Paul evidential, twelve Booker thirteenth. Then
a drop off and Anthony Davis Diane. I didn't it,
but if I had I Davis and hard and fourteen and fifteen in their own tier of like kind of tbd, both gas night is hard and could job. There is no question that he could go thirty, ten and ten for the next month and we'd just stupid, not including them
Davis. You know- and I am not arguing for data to be in there, but if Davis is right normal, like we would bumped out one of these other gods, because I think he stopped in place, I could
still I can Anthony Davis more than other people, do what I might be the one that's wrong about it
Why are we? We have em in the fourteen fifteen range and he has appointed a month and you ve got to figure the wrath of it. Then I had that next group, this would be my fifteen to twenty. Are sixteen twenty Bam, Dreamland Butler holiday? In the vein
and I'm going to defend the holiday thing like this. I just think he's a winning prayer and I'm always going to gravitate when we get to a clutter group of like. Can I win with dudes Butler the catch with him is. Why doesn't why they have the form or another they just determinate from the program he texted about the streets. When he's like what Butler can he play five games in a row like what what's going on with this there's a durability thing with him that I think it's a real thing, but he's still a top twenty guy
bear my think has a chance to potentially job with the way. How important it is that team and others
Then dreamland just his impact. You could feel at the last two months. I think he has been top twenty, so Levine was the one that
surprise me, but he's really one may over- and I know I know you- love him to the army. Levine
It was a daisy relationship, the tool
for a really long time ago,
where's it out there and that's what I love about him in that
there's all these scores right, you'd love to get scores together, but then a lot of time scores, but each other up.
The fact that he and erosion and granted in a crucial just came back you and I also open out, but those deferential players right. Those guys are cool with there
all and I think you have, even in the Rosen figuring out how to play with each.
Either, and it still some shots go round. You gotta get food, some looks yet either coolby whites been really impressive. Bass do all these different things.
I was one of my favorite stories, the season. You know the thing about I'll come out: Illinois you're, like art. What does he great at, though, is he is a great at this now is a great thing is the collective of him, and that he's not afraid anybody. You know. That's
problem with the valuation Claire. Sometimes you like yeah, but you don't get it like he's not going to give a shit, he's a mediately going to take the floor and think he belongs he's as good as anybody out here and it's a good conference is going to give him through that. Maybe he doesn't have like a peach category.
Do you think all he's a Lee Elite this this thing it just is really good at a bunch of different shit and he has no fear so the fact that Levine has brought in other guys were. You know he was kind of pigs,
That's bad team! Guy for a while, yet now
are winning team and it's worked out. I, like your Levine pick there. You have my word is mentioned tray young. Yet, though, now at this point we're about how do u have outside a top twenty item? Twenty one, the reason, I wonder what the vein
As you know, I'm a winning I read you are I love. How much he's enjoyed the direction thing
Instead of being threatened by. How do you like that's my turner? Oh my god, the Rosy got to shoot again. Like he's come
Wake me in on it and he's figured out a way to just be good from his end, but he's ridden that the resident cuz he really wants to win, and I think he's gotten better as it. Alright god I just like watching so yeah so see you at Rei. In your six thousand two hundred and twenty ranch
do give you your sixteen and twenty
an order. I would just have my head up. I'd. Have Burma had a butler? I think I'd have tray ahead, a butler at this point- and I know that doesn't make any sense
based on the standing in in Atlanta every night, you're watching him real like when you guys gonna, be good.
Had I that was to my head with shrank. I dont understand why that team is so disjointed. Weird betrayed.
The train numbers or off the charts. Yes defensively knows you get picked on I'd, say it's not horrifying as it was at least statistically some stuff any plan.
Is everything all night and we're talking about. So I think he's like top five and solicit efficiencies
so that all I don't sleep on us.
The fire and I'm right now saying you're, not atoning. I in my book put that those weird blogs that have the crazy had
AIDS era says tray ya, got a top priority player exclamation point, and it's just an excerpt from the package that somehow, above us
But I believe that this is this is why the exercise is important, because how many times you talk with your bodies or how many times you watch your broadcasts, like somebody would say, brightly peels, not top twenty magnolias. No, he isn't, even when he self
I had the guy's a my less outside met no days like cause. I had twice I twenty there I didn't have Gruber, you don't go bearing the top twenty six, no tray
towns. I really value Gyre Jackson is recovered earlier. I fucking love that guy, I think he's gotta, except that next game
this is the result. I believe there is no answer he should be there
software. The air and there's gonna be a goal of halving feathers. Baobab hasn't played games. I think he's am uneasy. Bessys missed at least twenty.
But Jack Jackson's been out there all year and I just think the stuff he doesn't defend. Someone is, I think, the outcomes played himself into the top twenty five.
Seventy five he's, not gonna written about he's not wanted to transport. Mrs twenty five games. I just think them Sawston, I'm with you, but he D misdemeanants. I had see outcome just the way he's playing it might be recently by us, but if you just sing best twenty five guys right now how they're playing he's got it?
the same for Garland and that our careers, my wildcard twenty six asterisk guy, because when he plays he's one of the best fifteen Gus, but we haven't seen it, but that's,
why, when you do this, you ll aggregate Jamal Murray does get mention, and
it's bad luck. Hawaiian day right, Paul George yeah Paul Georgia dimension
Zion Organised- and here we have four guys bizarre and who are just they're kind of ineligible Rita. I know you're not as usual
Fox guy, the bonus both the raptors,
even Estuviere, who you know just relentless gets. I love his quote, deal with it
like a I screw up to. I don't get them resting tired game. You, like that's weird. The point is: is we go thirty plus deep of really good players? Yes, league is stacked. It's that
We'll take a quick break, come back come back, we did our best twenty five players, basically top twenty five times
players, I faded a little verity and I'll admit. But listen. I caught a time out regrouped Tiree as the twenty six, the asterisk guy, and you mentioned the injury guys, but.
Maybe carriers should be in that Davis, hard and group. He might be that good. I I think I need to stop holding the subjects boxers against them and just
Jack. What were said, thou waiting for my salad standpoint ye is that guy he's a twenty.
Heaven a game when he plays in the fact that he has been able to do. It is doing this sharing needs that even playing an mba schedule he's the guy. These common in the pick up came once a week and drop and thirty does that help, though I don't know, maybe I just thought what he did to heart and on Thursday I just had to I was like I had to carry more serious,
This week in it ever, they give us Barbicane. You guys have to figure out, because I am I'm last year alone, like he's not outside of the top twenty one. It's right, I would expect me enough Nike
did his new shoe watch and they posted on Twitter,
yet at the news I on the car,
on that tough one
Ro I cite hairs. Is this ship was brutal yet was that I was tough seen as it gets.
Quickly, we're gonna do and I'll be a segment every week until the end of the season, as you know,
I love the idea. More than merely a lawyer, you like a lot there's some weirdness.
Share with the basic
and beating yoga genius and the bright.
And Tatum M and I guess LUCA, whose technically afford but they're just too many big eyes, but especially like you to think we just talked about the best part
Can it be Jokigen Yaris I'll, be on it all, be a first team like what
rosary breaking because you could argue Yoke is basically that point garden nuggets. Seek you get a little bit liberal
that I always like my I begged to be a team that makes sense
So I hope his ox for beating yoke is. If you go by the standard position rules,
should explain this better. I you have both on this, but
it sucks it one, those guys gonna be in a second
BP and then he's gonna, be all Stalin. Be a second team. I mean changes in. That's happy
A bunch of times I mean I write a hall Chris Weber, Garnett Duncan thing for a few years. There then we ve just seen. Then there is a donkey Garnett dirt Fang and sometimes
I think they've got a little more flexible. I feel like we can get away with Embiid Bead Yoga genius, which means I'm in a vote for that unless it tell me not to but
I got in video caginas. I got the Rosen and I got Ja Morant, and that would be my first team now. There's fifteen games left that could quickly change, but I think it's important to say. I think those are the leaders right now for first team.
Is there anybody so Korean Luke? I guess, would have the biggest gripes for not being on there, but I just think John Derozan. That has to do the back way right now, alright, but the roses technically listed as a forward, but this is where the also
both think up messed up cause I was driving around in the EAST cause. I was voting for it this year I was like we are to put the rose in and how is it back as they did it from court backward split it up, so they go from core back
for that. I want to have yoke at John. There wouldn't be so that both first team, because I think it's gonna be one to an empty pete. Yon us is a lot for the other forward slot so thats, where you're doing it, but if you're not doing
then that means you're gonna have to move,
it or yoke at the centre of the second team. Listen if the roses of forward this gets really complicated has now the brain has to go to the third theme, which will cause like probably a riot actually remit of writing off the branch. Thirty magua cause he's not good at. He can't get the spot overtaken
I don't think in general I dont like the guy in the below five hundred team, getting atop tat, first or second team. Unless the guys, you said an amazing season,
So, okay, but who'd you get the second guard spot to cuz. I agree with you on shot. I have jaw ahead of all the other guards, but I put stuff there then either going to end up with
seed and he's probably going a little tear her close up disease. I would put step there, but this is why it so stupid that we act like we do on this package. It's on every conversation,
It's like easier VP he's the GDP.
I just think there's a lot of work left in the season, like LUCA, could absolutely play himself onto first team. All NBA at that team keeps doing what it's doing and he keeps having the games he's having by the end of the season. You do four weeks from now. It could be just obvious that LUCA has to be first team, all NBA. So that's why I think there's guys in the mix. So if the roses eligible at the guard spot right now, it's true a job, but I think curry and Luke are right. There ready to take it, and then you know I had s e mais towns, Lebron Tatum,
and look at, and I think that makes the most sense, especially as bans by so many games, and we ve had submitted again said thirteen wide open and will probably to plant depend on injury step. I dont think I can go for hard and for any the three teams.
After what happened with Brooklyn, I just lucky to me: why isn't it is good? Either sets his eye.
So you know Booker Mitchell in towns in the vain and probably go bear if you need a centre for thirteen, that's probably going to be those those five and then bubble yet but learn the bein a mention. The Vienna drew chair, Jackson Garland harden couple more. They betray, if Atlanta got up, but that first things gonna be weird.
Besides, I don't know what to make of it. So if you beloved arose and to be a guard, the first team put him. There were Jaw Mckenna pushed back on that, but that opening up the fort spot to put a bead on there with your kitchen, honest, are so
and so that out, when we heard because then it's probably gonna be go back as you just play more than Bam has
I would have towns that doing the way
did it that way would allow towns, the brand Tatum Curry Lukas. The second team, which I think is strong- I don't love not having the broad and the second team, but if it, if it becomes a position, thing were that's, how has the planet s path or seven gives under five hundred? So you would look favourably plays the rest of the season
yeah. I don't know. If that's going to happen, you think you know stupid wanted Lebron, the breast. You were on this and you were right about it. You're going to want to keep playing and going through the storm.
Now this is. It can reduce its shades of that that year. It hope with the setting up of a bride. Obviously, but when
call me when I'm that chair, when you started playing forty eight minute games, member that many finally got hurt, but he
just like I'm not coming out anymore and I'm just pretty crazy stats. I wonder of LA bronze gonna shit into their. I guess, but the real thing with them is there
tied into the nine seed, the matter what happened so very smart their rest, but I'm not sure you know, like bright, cut a spot right not by him back to back things like that, but I dont know if he's gonna do that, I think he wants to
upstairs- and I beg you want someone- this coincide on a very about what the two thirty seven obeyed.
Yeah. This is the highest point total he sat since last year in Cleveland the first time, the first time he was there. I was looking at sport. So is thirty right! Thirty again, when you include yeah
So that thing where it's like nobody gives me credit for my scoring and it's like well, who doesn't give you credit, it's really about the rent. When you say stuff like that, cuz we was talking about the rent. That's going forward, I think, is the best going forward. If ever seen, Lebron takes up her butt
there is a better score than the broad, but he saw nothing was going around at the week after Leubronn said that it basically here's
Yeah like what you're that big of a deal there are, so many people are talking about, so they can find tons of stuff, yet they can be like now. This is real on a strong man, but the point is that the kind of flexible bronchial pussy
this is then they found an article from him years ago saying. I know everybody label just a score, if you like,
you yourself it and by the way, the reason you don't get mentioned as just a pure score is accurate.
Compliment, because how amazingly rounded out the rest of your game right, no one, no one ever suggesting somebody's a better score than you. It's always. This is always framed as a positive, so him finding a way to get pissed about it. I thought was weird and can
during he was fighting for the argument that he's now fighting against years ago. So maybe that's him
hey scoring title. We had the bad Caesar
I was able to do. I think I think his crew cares about the shit so much the better.
Be the push. I don't think he's gonna Miss Turner Game so when it gets back to the all and be voting Durant's Miss twenty seven games.
Would you Pearl Braun ahead of him on the second team?
I mean we didn't. Even we didn't have been mentioned, the red. What are you my thirteen
Are you serious? You have more the thirteen, though I think if he plays every game I have. This is a weird synod thing. I'm back and defend it, but to be fifty five games is the threshold for me and if you go under fifty five, I can't
for you anything you want any everybody's missing games like they have been the last three seasons. I actually one of the pods. I did with TAT day. He actually got upset about this with me.
He was like what does it matter if you miss games like up if the best personal eager so the best personally as bad, they played seventy two games or fifty two. You stole the bass, but to me it's like when she Goble of fifty five, you ve missed a third of the season like
some point durability asked the matter a tiny bit and I use whatever it was a bad one.
Did this last year and I went through the twenty guys that are in the conversation it was fuckin comical
How many Miss games were talking about?
Why that's the thing? That's why we can't judges but yeah. If what why somebody like Yoke, which deserves the long,
Staff is only mistake when the roses, the residents
the way the right is for mischance, meaning
the Miss Games, I rode off him down. The ransom, is twenty seven Lukas, Miss Fifteen, the bronze missed eighteen, which you know that that could be part of the thirteen case, especially be sets out to war, took a sixty two games season for potentially Tatum solemn is for marine. Miss fourteen yoke edge yadda above played a tonne
they got us is gonna win the bp by the way. That's when you take I've changed my repeated a hundred times, but they view actually look at the oddest stats. There better yoke edge Yoke each had it, but that now its wide open, but I actually think there's a path now for ya.
Unless Yoke catch can go on another tear. But man. I was really worried about him, Thursday Saturday. I just think the burden
these carrying the fact that he is actually playing point guard. Any just bang embodies costs, lad. Think he's dead
more punishment than anyone, the weaknesses and I've watched a lot of them because I like watching them, but it just seems like back. I just is getting.
It's the best advanced stats. Arguably the genesis ever had bought his
that is as a bead with more citizen is, I think, a more impact for defence of work as he can guard every possess.
You could still leaves the league and in p, and I think, because of all of his games played his total points. Added puts yoke, it's like a complete because others other metrics, urgently
It is not really close, but we know now address is gonna play out. I mean I'm gonna get back the original point. Yeah. Do we legs less? That's why we do, but we just do it. We do it. It's the same thing with college football rankings
people say we should have the rankings. It's ok but
means. Somebody else is going to do the rank and it's all gonna impact the way we see the, but what I think is ridiculous when, in the the moment how bad will be
like when de Rossa going through this entire run, and it was incredible what he's doing these
point game. Shooting at the way was shooting it and then it's like you feel it.
Asshole by saying he's not a deeply but he's gotta BP right,
those are the arguments I don't have time for
Gotta go in this started because I just don't feel like we were doing it
Wait. Ten years ago we were talking about the envy p after twenty games. I do think it's important when you set the framework of like here's. What we're sitting now evading per cent of the season done. That's a cares where we're sitting with the ombudsman BP, but nobody accounts for the fact that LUCA could just average thirty seven a game you ve heard. The last fifty gives us the needs in the.
Precision the Katy things a bummer though, because it maybe he has to be an even if the only place. Fifty three games, whatever every adds up at. Maybe he just ass beyond ba anyway, just to commemorate the season, but I'd I'd. I never what to do do us. I have a couple more things really really quick turn the camera
Should there be a wind threshold to be in the play internment, I'm going to offer you this. You have thirty seven and forty five, even forty five percent of your game goes thirty, six and forty six, your ten games under five hundred even less than forty five percent of your games. Should that just be the threshold you have to go at least thirty, seven and forty five to be in the plane tournament. If not, your spot is abdicated out, and I'm talking about this with New Orleans in the Lakers specifically.
How do I dont bigots worlds might make the plants they may be? What fifteen games under five hundred victims, the pudding they could just when two games around suddenly there in the plastic, is that a good thing set good to reward them.
Four sucking all years that good to have a really shity team. I should
be some sort of competency threat, hot threshold to at least make the players.
You know you're talking right. I here, ok and I don't hate it
As I know that yes, the games or entertaining its single elimination, ok out the whole point of these these seasons, I thought, would not have it.
That wins. Fifty seven percent of its games have two then play one x.
Name to keep themselves alive, while the team that one forty,
Senator games, grin
their chances are as good as they want to get in. But what's the point? What's the fucking point.
We're gonna have seasons were that seven seed has such a good record in sight, o your actually stillness little play and think- and it's all for ex revenue me my my
statement, will always be this in all these sports expansion to give teams another chance to prove that their
did. He is never gonna, be anything I'm going to argue for, even if the games or fought.
Mr Marcello, I hear your points I respect them. They ve been taken in I. Ninety percent agreed the eyes to like the playing games, but I don't want to see. Shitty teams in the plan gives the powdered on it for the Balkans and twenty eight
forty and protect you know, Minnesota's thirty, nine and thirty that the package are gonna play. The Lakers were not twenty. Nine and thirty seven it'll be fun to have the Lakers in the plants.
But that's a shitty game, but you could talk me into like they if you're Minnesota in the papers, you both Finnish above fibre.
Just put it through. We don't even have a plan term at the legal, never go for this. They loved the plan tournaments. They love the fact that he gives the brought a chance to make the play off, but like Portland, twenty six and forty
they're gonna write behind in the eleven said Portland
and trying to lose for three weeks very want to be in the play internment. So what would happen if the boy would happen if New Orleans or Portland, neither of them wanted to be it in their tanking to get out of the plants are made, but one of the makes it anyway. How far does this go? How do we police this
I don't think there's a way, which is why I think there should be a threshold. The legal achievement, contract out of its own anywhere its extra revenue and everybody could argue, remains the same thing. It's him,
and everywhere I get the capitalism is about expanding the business at all like just keep going in going in going raises. Another went right with ice fourteen audience, the fuckin play internment for the and say term it's stupid
now and then people argue to span that,
fell out of another game. You know hockey, basketball boys,
we have half the league in, but I'm never in favour this and were pushing the
line more and more work? I might I don't. I don't want you to have a chance and at once, fell
with results. I thought this for football too. I think you have to win if the least go eight nine to make the play us. If not suppose, gets you spot, I'm fine weather. They give you don't win you
vision or if you win you division, where we had the seasons where it seemed like a seventy, nine seem an unlimited division and then they wonder, play off the sea with man. That next topic do you think Philly will tank to get into the four or five spot to just complete
they avoid any possibility of them play in Brooklyn and round one for that. Hey export, wherever tank, no black as DOT doc added
yesterday about how they are going to be really care for the beaten and hard at the stretch. Arrests, guys at everybody, including myself, attributed that as oh, your paving the way so that you just want to make sure you not one or two
I say what I said last year: member all this shit, the clippers got because they wanted avoid Lakers.
And everybody dumped on. I'm really goes on a winning attitude. Such every ship. Basketball of I know
brought an idea or healthy, and I can
I can be on the other side of that until I'd have to face them later on and
guess what happened it all in all kind of work, even though people get really mad about it, it was an easy thing to do to make fun of the clippers. Again, I don't mind
at a g. I don't think they're gonna tank, but if it means with two games to go, we start seeing weird lineups somebody's gonna Dean P out of nowhere because they want to try to avoid it. People return
in the leg it means you're, soft and all that stuff. Adena does really bothered me that much so you could see it happening, but having spent shut down the next fifteen or what would not? The next fifteen reenter sent point. I think they will not be in the one or two seats.
It's my prediction, however: they ever they get that to happen. That's what's gonna happen. I you know this has been around
for a while, where letting the one seed picture they play. I think this is the perfect example.
That would actually be a good rule and plus it would piss, whoever that the team
Then you get that all storyline of them. Oh, you wanted.
Don't you get us, but the Brook dang when
the one side and then having Brooklyn, lose the seven eight game. But then, when the eight nine game in a thick up, here's your ears reward for the once it here's covered the red career, break that fuck it sucks.
I rather pick my team of as the ones tat would be hilarious, repeats the hawks than all the hawks or get real justly about it. Let it alright motherfucker you signed up for ok, you have forty forty two like that's! That's why the Fidgit Debbie Great. Do you think Toronto can pass cleaver throughout a thirty seven and thirty Cleveland utterly eight and twenty nine? I feel like that sad, this place out how focus has been on the raptors when taking all night
seconds and the rafters right, I was amazed to do list. Forty live. I haven't my note say: do raptors profile update everything because yes, ya, come? I never know what to do with him.
He said is a top twenty guy right now here now
he's dead? Alas, but he was there, he met, but then, when you
and to be better than it is in
and it turned out like I feel like there's these extremes. Are you bottom? We realise the guy's Brigitte player, but if he's your best players from another gave a team, you know why
Scottie Barnes run the offence and I don't even know if that was about the rafters again, a million off it's a rebound soon that game that the nuggets were so dead in that game, like nice,
for to on the road put it.
Seven over five hundred this point,
But I need to do like an updated raptors profile on it, but it speaks really more to Cleveland, because I can't as much as I love watching the calves play bill watching dearest
I'll try to navigate through everything defensively at the end, because they never know it in a different market in,
of course, not enough offensively, Stephenses Defensive match up guy but will have em out. There lay little the little Ricky while for Moby, just a tiny bit
in Ireland and are dependent, often suppliers, meaning they add penned on somebody else, Qana helping them and no mobilized awesome every
love the guy, the journal and without the other night too. But if you look at some of their forthcoming,
split on the office of efficiency, the adjusted grind for them and Laverne hasn't played
say that he would solve everything, but he's at somebody, you know, can have a night and carry it.
Events have led a fourth quarter. That's why, in late that trade, I wanted them yet AIR Gordon, I dont trust the bird to stand. The court.
I watch that Lakers Rockets game the other day. I don't know did you do second the later
Rockets and AIR Gordon
like I've, got the broad lackeys
out of a rational confidence with how good AIR Gordon thinks he is a or be perfect.
Because you don't love me somebody else, who's gonna have to make. I mean, forget fourth, quarter regular season games. There's just wait! You much dependency on one, often of creator,
and I love Garland. I'm so happy that, like upcoming, I really liked him in the droughts and, unlike this guy, this little
I'm not saying Kai rebates. I carry lightish with him. He does
is it the rim, the wake Irey Prime Carry does, but you just can see,
colleagues, you better, I think, they're easier.
Focusing on, because you don't feel like there's other threats. Unless market is gonna, get it going and loves it shots and a coral genesis, limited offensively.
I gotta give you credit on Scotty Barnes. You called this. I share you loved them he's one of your guys may note
You were saying you wanted to go to a team that would actually use in the way you wanted it to be, is which he did his attitude that uses all the parts of them I'm enchanted by. I was,
The party is very much a ladder raptors first at this season, but I bet I bet gravitated betting on them a hub. He just really gives a shit if we're gonna make are top ten who gives the most of shit awards for the season he would have to be, though yadda so the yoke edge of the conversation he cares the most and I think that's a really special. You know that
as I bet actually, I gotta say Oda put him under Barnes Level, but it's one of the reasons I really like our J bear it. I really think he cares.
Away my way, we can do a heart that we could do a podcast, titled, adjusted ceilings
yeah, you, you may open with larger bear. I was kind of whatever I
but whenever I sort of like em did I wouldn't like em again, and I just had the ceiling for him, and I can always all right.
Happened in the last week last month, at that my
Jimmy Game where they lost the wait just a week carried himself bill, I talked about it my pot for a few minutes where he just has a look and care
to him and then, of course, it'll get the ball. The last you possessions day against and that's when he had. I had that really nice, they set him up on the right side me curls, off a pin down he added finishes with us.
Because you're going back even high school is just so good finishing arrows forgets is left half the time,
It always able to get to the fore the middle, the paint with Japan and Stick by people. I don't use various. I did the next stage be excited about it, but Scotty Barnes
these nineteen in nine, now nineteen intense and see all star break is shooting. She is a bit
You know. What's I love to entrench had an unbelievable run by man, precious pray, asses
The report is aimed at six little friskiness twenty minutes coming off the bench for them in
That's only played for the last ten. I think so that is not a fun play upstairs team. I really think we will need to fly.
This is a hard way, so I don't wanna play that team as like. A three six match up that is on match up at all, taught a size could switch they're gonna, be smart. His nurses, one of the best they're gonna, be prepared.
Going to adapt the preparation to you, they're gonna fuck with you, but you gotta have
game where you just like. Hey our guys,
figuring it out yet you know, and you may lose game three
Come back were better but yeah I've. I guess I I watch that whole Denver game and
left with all the things I like about Toronto Bright just knew that
day. I was just sleep walking through that one so that they may remember about the play ass, an ethic people kind of glass over this site that Boston Dallas Grant. Today that's kind of what the plaster like there there's everyone's try really hard. It's a little sloppy the defences really good and it comes down to like some some loose balls people fighting for whatever tipping officer. That's off of Toronto. Good at like these ugly, slow tents. Platt, like I just kind of feel like
Barnes is just getting a loose ball if there's a rebound of the back of the rim and it lands around the foul line and five guys are going for it. I'm just betting on him every time. I've never see
Can anybody with their hands on more things at the end of games like it's really he's really good? I think this Richie class- I can't wait till the prison boxes, come out of goat all that decade,
located in that Boston. Detroit game when he had no ban, should always play like forty four minutes or whatever it is
kind of single handedly carried them for three slash. Four, these guys these rookies. This isn't I'm not going to say it's an all time class cuz. I don't think there is, I don't think, there's a top twenty guy in it will c wood mobile have out what this feeling is friend, but I do think it's it's like one of those classes where you going.
Ten years not be like Jesus Psych, seven Allah Ba guys in this day and this glass
not with the I love it. I love scene, which aids doing
and I knew that it would cause to take people. You know you have.
Watch him a lot together,
Stan and then it really cause. Can you fix us here? We followed up a couple possessions here. Can you fix us and he's like I got this, and that was
best thing about him in Oklahoma State how many times he stepped up late and
it's funny with him, because your jailing green. Has these moments you? Oh my god, you know what I've been happy for him
two since the outbreak lackeys started put together
added shitty. Should he team and he's gotta bunch other guys have their own agenda so as not to be handed the keys, although there definitely that Lakers,
man. It was also to see what he was doing so happy for him because he felt, like he's just been blocked by the other guys but
have somebody who you trust as a rookie to run an offence. It doesn't have a ton of options with Detroit. That's the part, a cave where
You know you were big on mobile number right before the draft. Unlike should I wanna put Moby one in your light, only my guy and you ve been right about it, but when I went back and I asked as many guises
Third, that are, in these from offices on my cater mobile cater boldly and every one of them came back k because its sleep, that's that's what you need. You need
a guy like that again, Cape Verde Fur Bobo was just. I thought that position was so deep. I didn't see the road back to being an alibi by his.
