In or write in hey there was a wedgie in the sun Spurs game you missed it well it came as the whistle was called yeah and they called it on the floor it wasn’t a shooting foul I think if he had Devon Vel had gone to the line yeah we count
That but uh they said side out mhm it was bang bang but uh we’re not we’re not counting that one and then I guess we did have was that at least one wedgie in the um men’s NCAA tournament yeah we had one and it was Iron Eagle on the which
Was cool y because he really gave it his all uh bird as Bill rafter calls him bird yes and you said Bill calls it a a neck ball neck ball yeah the old’s name for it did you watch a lot of cols over the weekend that was deep baby yeah
How’s bracket our bracket uh I don’t think we’re going to be winning this one SK no uh no do we have our full final four out no I think we’ve got Yukon uh still going and maybe Purdue I think we did have Purdue into the final four and
That guy Edy he’s dominating right now oh I can’t stop the big dominant he’s too big zille O’Neal as Shaq called him he was good O’neal He was good all right so yeah probably a lot of you out there watching colge Hoops uh both the men’s and women’s tournament over the weekend
But there was some NBA game so let’s do our best to recap uh the winners and losers Trey you start us off here who’s your big winner from the NBA weekend stream team is always already going crazy for this guy the Timberwolves get a winner but more specifically Nas Reed
Gets a winner of the weekend Friday it was Nas night in Minnesota Timberwolves gave out Nas Reed beach towels to everybody they said on the broadcast 15,000 of these were given out there was like 18,000 fans in attendance oh damn that would have sucked final that would
Suck for those final 3000s but it made for an incredible visual cuz Nas went off in this game 18 points three rebounds three assists three three-pointers including a dagger where he just had the crowd chanting his name they went to break they played made you look by Nas the
Rapper and the people had all their towels out and when it’s 15,000 out of 18,000 people it’s covering the whole stadium this was an incredible visual to see what it looked like um I haven’t seen every Timberwolves game since they won their play in Tournament game but it
Felt like the arena was the most hyped that’s been since they won that one and Patrick Beverly was up on the table taking his shirt off and celebrating whipping it around his head like a helicopter that was an awesome night for Nas Reed and for the Timberwolves as
Well he followed up on Sunday by completely taking it to the Warriors pregame Steve Kerr called Nas Reed a Warriors killer because I guess he had a 30-point game against them last year self-fulfilling prophecy 20 points 12 rebounds a steal a couple of blocks and six of eight from the three-point line
For Nas Reed in the win over the Warriors this was a couple of awesome wins for Minnesota somehow they’re still third in the Western Conference that’s just how it is right now but Anthony Edwards only played okay I thought over the weekend against Cleveland 16 points
On five of 17 shooting a little better against the Warriors 23 points on seven of 18 shooting eight assists to two turnovers I like that but on Friday the Timberwolves got 15 from Jaden McDaniels 21 from Mike Conley Jordan mclin hit four threes they had seven assists on 41
Makes on Sunday nil Alexander Walker hit three threes Monte Morris hit two threes Kyle Anderson had 10 six and five coming off the Bench close the game for the Timberwolves they had 30 assists on 40 makes they’re now six and three since Carl Anthony towns went down with his
Knee injury this is perfect for the Timberwolves they look really good they’re obviously locked into each other and you heard Nas Reed say it after Nas night we’re playing for each other right now and when you look at the assists to field goals made that totally play for
Me because it looks like they’re just a a very together team right now like Edwards is getting off the ball so fast he’s making so many easy plays right now that it’s just leading to great ball movement for the Timberwolves and easy looks they were great this weekend Nas
Re and beach towels I think that’s really important they’re huge in comparison to little baby towels that you often get when you go to an arena you don’t get anything bigger than a like looks like an 8 by1 piece of paper like that’s how big it is they’re tiny
Wave towel yeah yeah they’re tiny this was huge and that’s why it looked so cool for the 15,000 fans 3,000 fans got screwed yeah they they’re holding and did NZ Reed really have one on his shoulders or was that a thumbnail I believe that was U like a um a promo
Yeah shot earlier in the year any looked awesome it looked awesome for those 15,000 fans they get their Beach like one month a year in Minnesota it’s cold up there man it uh it was like um like taking me back to like uh 99 raw at the Skydome when everybody would have signs
At the wrestling events it sort of had that vibe to it when everybody was holding up their giant beach towels they’re just all the same that was uh that was really cool they made like I mean the Timberwolves went crazy on social media as well like they had all
Of their players just take turns saying Nas Reed everybody says it a little bit differently some people give you the full Nas Reed Nas Reed Nas read you know it was great who was the best I didn’t see this clip actually who I don’t know I think go goar was actually pretty good
I also like they had like all their players walk in then they would hand them a Nas Reed Tow and they’ all put on their shoulders and walk in with nas Reed on their back they love this guy man it’s really cool yeah you said 99
Skydom I thought there was a rap line because you mentioned they played Nas at the end of the Wolves game but that was uh WWE no WWF when it’s in town that’s a that’s a different line you’re literally referencing Chuck Clair yeah whoes incredible nice p man but that wasn’t
The exact line they didn’t say 99 sky when it was in town they said WWF when it’s in town with my homie with this guy oh jeez anyway sorry that’s a deep cut anyways na nian rapide yeah it looked Naz kind of looked like a deep cut for a
Lot of people around the NBA the last few years until last year when he was awesome cuz he was a four-year player making the minimum undrafted at LSU and then you got this monstrous extension because he is awesome and because people love him now he’s getting towels made
For him all good man all that is that is a great story and I think the worrisome part when Carl Anthony towns was went down Trey mentioned it is Anthony Edwards going to be able to play with him just get used to him more in the fourth quarters along with Rudy goar
Just to get the last reps of the last 20 minute game or 20 games before they go to the playoffs they haven’t needed them and I think Monte Morris was actually pretty good in in this game coming off the bench the guy that they got the trade deadline was key in those fourth
Quarter minutes because this was a close game until we’ll get to the Golden State Warriors until the Warriors sat staff and then Monte Morris was big they took over in that fourth quarter I like chilling Monday Night Raw watching me and Dan O at the sky doome went it’s in
T my people’s know I just be regular that’s you’re Danny O Danny O Danny O that was sha clir in the Canadian rap Anthem Northern touch what a pull there from tassy my God yeah I didn’t rap it like that though no no but you were on
The right path who is Danny o i Dan that’s his boy they always go and watch wrestling love that podcast right is it good that’s mdo oh it’s his brother I know Danny go he makes kids videos really oh yeah okay digging in the dirt digging in
The dirt Danny but there’s a Danny ocean Venezuelan singer I’m looking that up I honestly think it’s just buddy yeah wow just a wrestling Bud friend this guy yeah like I had Kenny I had Joel those were my Danos you know go watch uh go watch Monday Night Raw when it’s in town
When it’s in town okay NZ re drop your Nas reads in the chat if you haven’t already all caps locks of course um Tas let’s go to you who else do you have for a winner of the weekend Keon Ellis of the Sacramento Kings okay it was a few
Months ago in the middle of December Keon Ellis was coming off the bench Davon Mitchell was HT at the time so Keon Ellis was playing and I said what I thought was the smartest thing I’ve ever said I said Keon Ellis is going to take Davon Mitchell’s minutes even when he comes
Back that was stupid Keon Ellis is now starting he’s that good Kevin herder is injured he may be out the entire season Keon Ellis has come in there and played awesome he actually went and played in Orlando this weekend which is very close to his hometown of hustus I didn’t know
That place existed Eustace what a name Josh Eustace do a podcast too right Eustace through up the H uh yeah he had 100 members of his family and friends in town for the game that’s a pretty good ripoff like I mean rip I me I meant it
Like rip I’m getting not that he ripped anybody off I just mean like 100 of friends at a game that’s pretty awesome they come in and they see high scoring game of his career 19 points in this one four splashing threes that’s why he can play beside Daren Fox and also he can
Just play freaking defense this team is 4.5 points per possession per 100 possessions excuse me better with him on the floor that’s fantastic stuff and he was setting up damont sabonis in this game he had six assists five of them to sabonis I don’t know how you give out assists in today’s NBA
Those those things have to be evaluated they’re not just they’re not right anyways that has nothing to do with K El’s game he was great has a secondary creator with sabonis 19 points were great he had a a a huge step back with two minutes left
In this game and it’s great because he doesn’t try and drive he just does what he has to do out there they’re mainly splashing threes and passing the ball when he’s on the court and he plays great defense as I said they win a game where Malik monk stunk Off the Bench
They only got seven points Off the Bench monk at zero and Orlando shot 43.7% in this game they got it done at the end with the Aaron Fox uh which was a was a a great shot to make there he he had the gamewinner really uh but
Anyways great moment for Keon Ellis with 19 points uh six assists in this one get ready to to learn the name Keon Ellis if the king’s you know obviously going to be in the play and at the very least but maybe into the playoffs and we said it
Last week like he’s going to get the matchup of the best perimeter player on the other team like his name’s going to pop up a lot because oh couple quick fouls against you know one of the better guys in the league or he’s shutting a
Guy down or oh so and so went what they went five for 22 in game three yeah it was all ke like that’s going to be what you’re hearing here from the Kings but weird call in that game too uh Sacramento and Orlando did you see where
Dearen Fox was like at the half line and Suggs was up on him putting a pressure and he s he Taps him he touches him can’t say he really pushed him and the ref’s right there and like fox is like trying to like he’s sort of like losing
His balance as if he was like falling off a cliff or like you’re at the edge of the dock or something you don’t want to fall into the water and then eventually steps back and then the ref’s like oh yeah you pushed them but it was
Like the slowest reaction to a push ever very weird it was actually a big call too yeah for Sacramento pull it out but uh yeah good win from from the Kings there was some weird ripoffs let’s call them ripoffs de was a rip off yeah there
Was yeah and then there was the one p buero got down low Keegan Murray stopped him and Dean Fox just came out of nowhere to rip the ball from behind from palo’s hands they called it a foul the entire Sacramento Kings bench got got up I respected each and every one of them
Especially Jordy Fernandez the Canadian head coach he didn’t even you usually when you challenge a play you’re looking at the video he didn’t he didn’t even look at a thing he just went up to Mike Brown challenge that thing J Tran was there he was just there landro Barbosa
He’s an assistant coach he was just there I just like saying their names uh but l of Canadian connections on the bench there so many Chris Duarte uh also there there just some weird stuff uh and just quick quick stat here deont sabonis 53rd straight double double tying Kevin
Love streak in 20101 that’s the longest since the ab NBA merger in 76 so it’s going to be sabonis record I assume next game next game guys double machine no problem all right so NZ Reed Kellis winners of the weekend let me go next here Jay GRE deep Cuts yeah I know
Yeah well because I mean some of our answers I was thinking about I was like man I feel like we did them last week or maybe the week prior uh and we’ll get to them but give me Jaylen green as the Rockets um Jaylen green and the rockets
As a winner of the weekend they only played once and it was on Saturday but Jaylen green scored 41 points ham 41 again for this guy van vet added 10 three-pointers in this game Rockets hit 27 bombs as a team they beat the Jazz 147 to 119 their eighth straight Victory
That’s their longest win streak since 2019 it improved the Rockets record to 35 and 35 they are back and they have closed after the weekend was said and done to within one game of Golden State for that 10th and final playing spot in the Western Conference a couple weeks
Ago shenon went out we were like oh that’s a tough blow they’ll still play hard for udoka they obviously got these young Talent Jaylen Green’s getting it going here but I said it I was like I think it’s a little too late I think they’re going to come up just short of
The of a playin spot and here they are one game back now it’s sort of a technically two games back from the Warriors type of thing because golden state has the tiebreaker so they will have to LEAP them but this is wild there’s still what we got 12 games left
For most of these teams a lot of them are at the 70 game Mark yeah it’s in play it is that they could sneak in here especially when you pair it with how the Warriors have been playing which I know we’ll get to later but uh March Jaylen
Green he’s basically tracing M Grady right now this guy on fire man he is averaging 28 points per game in the month of March that’s 11 games now shooting 51% from the floor almost 42% from three he chipping in about six boards per game three and a half assists
His plus minus has exploded like he’s a positive player every game here during this win streak um so it’s just fun to see how like how long he can keep this heater going because in March he scored 34 points against the Suns to basically
Start the month he had 37 a week and a half later in a win over the Wizards two games after that he scored 42 in 35 minutes against Washington and then on Saturday like I said 41 points in less than 33 minutes mad efficiency he’s hitting the three ball he’s getting
Inside still highlight after highlight and Houston I can’t believe this like they could get in here very you may be picking them at this point when you compare the two teams Golden State and Houston how they’ve looked recently they’re at least trending the right way and you can’t say that about Golden
State I was trying to figure out how in the world is Jaylen green doing this and I think first and foremost part of it’s the schedule I mean they’re beating up on some bad teams here that have completely given up whereas obviously the Rockets haven’t but also with shanon
Going out Jabari Smith became the starting center for the Houston Rockets So they just got five out basically the entire time and I think it’s also I think that’s catching teams by surprise a little bit because they’re just so much more space for Jaylen green he’s doing a great job of attacking staying
Downhill and like actually getting to the rim so I think that catches teams off guard and I think it probably also catches teams off guard that the best athletes on this team aren’t in the back court like it’s kind of weird right like Fred he’s a slower kind of guy Dylan
Brooks he’s not out there for his athleticism obviously green on the wing is a super athlete but guys like amen Thompson japari Smith they’re going to be the best athlete that they go up against most of the time in the front court so they’re able to just fly up and
Down the court they’ve also got such a deep team with so many prospects that nobody’s tired right like everybody’s playing three quarters of the season for this team so the guys that are still there right now they’ve got the juice to take it to these bad teams that are ready to go home
Already you’re right Houston will finish it strong I don’t think they do it you don’t think they because they stink on the road they are 10 and 24 on the road the majority of their games left are on the road seven on the road five at home plus that tiebreaker thing with golden
State that’s got to be the team that they catch no matter what happens in the last game that they play Golden State cuz they do play them one more time golden state has a tiebreaker cuz they’ve already beat them twice and no matter what happens in that game now
We’ll get the Golden State their schedule is tough there’s no doubt their their schedule is tough but again the Rockets are stinky uh when they get on the road but who knows ok’s got these guys playing together because they came to a point in this season where they
Could have just fell apart they started ridiculously strong the win streak they look so good and then around the allstar game and Tra and trade deadline it just looked like they’re falling apart but somehow I I I have to give credit may do these guys just playing extremely hard
Together yeah and again they hit 27 threes I mean you’re helped out when van has one of his games where he hits 10 I think he tied the franchise record um with probably what Harden and Chandler Parsons or something like that I think it’s some it’s a weird name and a Harden
I believe but uh yeah the Rockets they’re they’re they’re hard they’re so fun to watch right now too with how play like hard they’re playing they’re getting into a fight every damn night so really going to bat for each other and then just Jay and green on a heater um
Yeah it’s a must watch rockets right now as they try and get in uh and regardless whether or not they do whether they come up a game short or two this is an incredible season you talked about this last week so we don’t need to go over it
Too much more but like yoka coming in there setting an identity you have all these young guys and I heard Bill Simmons throwing out the idea should they explore trading shenon it’s like what the hell Whoa man okay I know you came up with the uing theory and all
That but like slow the breaks you said at TK I think if shenon is there they’re probably winning a lot of these games Poss they’re playing you know Wizards and Jazz and stuff like that here um no if anything it’s just unlocked maybe we can we can play Big through him and we
Also have this option to play a little faster with Jabari as a as the center at times right in ter in particular matchups but uh good run here from the Rockets let’s do another round TK who you got another round of winners I got to give one to the New Orleans Pelicans
On February 23rd the Heat beat the Pelicans in New Orleans little Skirmish on the court little squirmy wormy a bunch of players were ejected postgame Jimmy Butler said we’ll beat them the next time too just a better team the next time was Friday and to paraphrase Tas melis the Pelicans
Gave it to the heat bottom New Orleans allowed 88 points hit 18 threes and completely wed on the Miami Heat this one wasn’t even close huge game for CJ McCollum he had 13 points hit six threes seven assists just a couple of turnovers it’s his second 30-point game in a week which they
Absolutely need uh with Brandon Ingram out on Sunday just a dominant Zion Williamson game against Detroit he had 36 points on 13 of 14 13 of 14 field goals including 10 of 14 at the line seven boards six assists two steals he made at least two right-handed layups I
Saw in this game oh yeah yeah I think he’s like a you know Anthony Edwards when they get up in a blowout he wants to shoot Bank shots yeah I feel like Zion when the Pelicans get ahead he’s like I’m going right do you think we’ll ever see him look at his right
Hand yes yeah I do I do I think if he hits a a weird one sure or like a really really tough one he’ll definitely celebrate by looking at his right hand and people like oh yeah he’s left-handed so it makes sense but I thought a nice response from the Pelicans after the
Brandon Ingram newes they’re a half game back of the Clippers after the weekend and New Orleans has the Thunder the Bucks the Celtics and the Suns coming up next so they absolutely needed these couple of wins here especially with Brandon Ingram down for at least two weeks we’ll see how long he actually
Stays on the bench yes as Zion Williamson also just wants to go right when he can go right and then finish with his left hand too there was minutes there where I’m sure somebody on the bench said make him go right and he does go right but he’s still able to get to
His left hand because he’s that damn good and they’re chasing those Clippers who lost to the 76ers yesterday James Harden against his old team didn’t look too good left right after the game didn’t talk to media and then he has to go when wednes into Philadelphia to play
In front of those old fans that’ll be fun spicy yeah yeah that’s obviously watching that four five position there in the west um that was an ass kick against the Heat that was a nice that was a nice we remember what was said and we’re going to come into your barn and
Dominate you uh and then to follow it up you know it can be one of those trap games like you can sort of give it up to the Pistons but took care of business you know to to fin finish that road trip with that three in one record very very
Solid and now go home for that six game home stand but a lot of good teams as as TK said so see if they can keep it going but man Zion Zion right now I’m getting very excited for the postseason very excited again like some of these guys
Ant SGA Zion in playoff matchups like that’s where we’re like oh they try and take things away the game obviously changes a bit and the superstars go to the next level so very very pumped for that yeah also good move by the New Orleans Pelicans Twitter account saying
We’re just a better team after the win back nice that was nice that was nice fun times uh T who do you have for another winner I’m going with the Milwaukee Bucks because they thrashed OKC it was an Atlanta Thrasher type of win they killed him OKC had 93 points
The fewest of their season and Milwaukee made them shoot only 37% Shay had a quiet 12 now it was a fun game going into the third quarter it was it was close as a onepoint game at half but it was a third quarter that really turned
Things so it’s a 118 93 win so I don’t I don’t think that Milwaukee has OKC’s number by any means but OKC is going to struggle against the teams that are huge that is the one thing they outrebound them by a ton that is the thing for OKC
To deal with come postseason and you understand too he posted on IG before this game it was really after their last game you got to play the cards you’re dealt I’m not sure what that means but 30 points 19 rebounds no threes shot for
Yan St Kubo this was just a big team and Chris Middleton since he’s come back he’s looking good triple double his first triple double since 2018 that’s a long time ago uh 1110 and 10 and with Middleton back you got a new Big Four with Giannis Dame Brook Lopez and Chris
Middleton starting who’s the fifth guy it’s Malik Beasley to start with them and then their bench can go off this this bench is better uh with all that balance and in this game Bobby poris Jay Crowder and Pat conon had 36 combined of their 44 points they they really really
Did it to them and Bobby pors did it to Chad hren if you saw it he’s 610 Chad hren 71 so a few inches in difference took him in the post hit a little hook on him and as he was running back he saw his teammate Andre Jackson on his own
Bench do the two small thing so then Bobby said oh that’s a great idea I’m going to do the two small thing here on on the court he did uh he gave it to to chadol they really just beat him in the third quarter I I just think they are
Starting to they’re starting to understand who they are now I get why yanis tweeted you got to play the cards you’re dealt it’s Chris Middleton’s back now things are good again maybe uh who knows Frank they look good obviously Frank Madden who follows the Bucs tweeted last night that the bucks now
Boast the NBA’s best point differential in games against top 10 teams so they play really well against the elite teams in the league that was a huge dominant second half like you said against OKC you know you start to go oh like OKC lack of size is that going to come back
To hurt him uh in a postseason we’ll find out they just did a great job on SGA as well they’re not not many games I’ve watched OKC this year where it’s like he’s taken out of the game just because of their length and their size
They just can get like he just wants to get to the paint he wants to touch paint every time obviously score set guys up get to the line but uh Milwaukee did a really good job of taking that away good good win from them and they’re sort of like clearly establishing themselves as
The second best team in the East here as we hit the home stretch Cavs injuries come into play you know a couple other teams behind them but it’s Boston one you know with a bullet and then and then it’s Milwaukee and we’ll see whether not they meet up in the postseason and I
Think if you are the Bucks you got to be looking at the Celtics thinking we can do what we did against OKC against the Celtics because the size will be the advantage for uh Milwaukee in either of those matchups and it was Big Boy basketball 58 points on the paint 15
Offensive rebounds for Milwaukee as well you had Malik Beasley just crawling on the ground to save a ball getting it up to Giannis for an and one they’re they’re bought in right now um one of my favorite quotes I heard on the broadcast was Giannis put chat in the basket at
One point for an and one and Marcus Johnson said you better eat some more pancakes young fella then he got too smalled by poris later poris eats pancakes takes them down no doubt yeah that was a nice nice wall that they built against Shay that’s essentially
What they were doing it was the Yannis wall that other teams buil against yanis that they built um the other thing I like from janis’s Instagram sorry I’m going to yann’s Instagram I find this interesting as they go into the playoffs here Yann trying to get his second title
He said he asked Kelsey Plum is it harder to win your first title or your second she said it’s second because you know you know you know what you need to do um that’s a Legal Zoom ad really that’s that’s what it was it was an ad
For Legal Zoom this is not an ad uh but I think that was a good ad and he wrote he wrote down as a caption for this ad seek advice from someone who’s been there done that that’s a pro move it’s a pro move Kel Kelsey got paid he got paid
We did not that was an ad here for legal before we spin off of the Bucks here uh Ziggy was in the Stream team early making the case for where’s the Giannis for MVP love um he has jumped SGA and Luca in the MVP tracker on basketball
Reference it’s it’s joic still with a you know significant uh percentage I think over 50% but then Yannis is there in second and ziki we know he’s making the case that he gets overlooked oh yeah and I think that’s fair even back to last year and and of course this year
The numbers he puts up the record now getting up there for Milwaukee that’s that’s fair he’s not going to win it this year it’s it’s going to go to joic it really is but um you’re probably right Siggy that he’s just he’s just so good he’s been Elite for so long that we
Get more enamored with the the new name the fresh name the guy that doesn’t have one you know in an SGA or a Luca that you want to talk yourself into obviously the Tatum and his record and the Celtics record so yeah it’s fair you’re a homer
You’re a homer Ziggy but it’s fair he is pretty damn incredible uh final winner of the weekend let’s give it to the Lakers because they picked up two wins over the weekend they couldn’t have been more different on Friday Anthony Davis 23 points 19 boards in a 10194 victory over Philadelphia the
Lakers committed 21 turnovers in this game it was their lowest scoring game uh almost of the calendar year I think yeah got back to early January to find when they only scored that few of points LeBron said after the game ugly but we got the job done and was it was one of
Those games that just pulled it out in the end wasn’t the prettiest basetball in the world but they got it D’Angelo Russell in that game set the Lakers record for three-pointers in a single season he became the fourth player to hold the single season record with multiple teams when it comes to
Three-pointers you guys want to do some quick trivia they’re all current players three other guys have the record for most three-pointers made in one season for two franchises one season yeah Harden no no no Kyrie Irving no these are good guesses okay let me one is like one is
Like a known three-point shooter like that’s really all he does he’s one of the greatest three-point Shooters of the last buddy he buddy heel pelicans and Pacers so he has those records and then the other two are Superstar players like all NBA players that shoot a lot of
Threes And obviously make a lot of Threes but you don’t I guess you think of them just more multifaceted KD no no super yeah but but I mean like okay Superstars they’re all NBA guys yeah okay okay that’s fine have been maybe will be this year well one won’t because
Of games played now uh Mitchell Donan Mitchell Cavs and Jazz and then one other guy in the West in the Western Conference Paul George bingo so D’Angelo Russell with the Lakers and Nets Paul George with the Clippers and Thunder Donovan Mitchell Cavs and Jazz and Buddy heeld pelicans and Pacers DLo shooting a
Career best 42.4% from three and he makes almost three a game like this guy you want to talk about an X-Factor come playin games or uh potential you know playoff matchups it’s him so then on Sunday no D’Angelo Russell he’s got like some illness he was sick so Spencer dwy gets
The start he has his best game as a Laker scored 26 points um he had a really good weekend didn’t he he scored 37 points for the Lakers over the weekend he came into those two games averaging less than five points per game for La since he’d been there has done
Much no so really good from him ad was a monster again 36 and 16 LeBron did his part especially late and uh they outscored the Pacers 150 to 145 not an overtime game not a double overtime game 150 to 145 so two really different games for the Lakers but both
Victories and sort of a lot of these things where like they got leads and then they held off the teams that sort of got back into it especially the Pacers there uh put up a 46o final period but they were up like quite a bit
So they got the W 151 for so close to a combined 300 points I love seeing combined 300 points such a geeky numbers guy I think this is a good win for the Lakers overall because I think it means that they’re going to host a play in
Game yeah and that’s good for them because they stank on the road they really really do they’re 12 and 20 that’s not good and they only have two more home games the rest of the way the majority is on the road two and then nine on the road
Road but I still think they are going to host one I don’t think they’re going to catch anybody in the seven or eight seed doesn’t look like it but they’ll be hosting whoever it is the Warriors or the rocket Rockets yeah for sure uh and Indiana Coach Rick carlle he was annoyed
After this game there was a lot of free throws to the Lakers now a lot of them came when the like you know when they were just trying to get back in the game and playing the old foul game and sending the Lakers to line so they hit a
Bunch there but 43 free throws to the Pacers 16 and Indiana was called for 31 fouls to Los Angeles was 14 you know again a lot of that ad LeBron putting pressure on the rim but uh Rick was not happy I feel like we’ve had like three
Or four Lakers games where it’s like this has been the Fallout from the game right it’s like what the hell look at the difference they draw a ton of FS they do and to me I was actually kind of feeling bad for the Pacers because with the starting lineup of ruy hamura LeBron
And AD it was just who is the shortest guy that’s guarding one of those three we throwing into him in the post every single time just mismatch hunting the entire night so four players on the Lakers scored 25 or more from the starting lineup and it just kind of felt
Like we’re out sizing you here Anthony Davis I had to go back and do a lot of digging to find his in season tournament finals numbers 41 and 20 I didn’t remember if it’s 40 or 41 but it was 41 and 20 followed up with 36 and 13 here
Don’t think there’s a matchup for him against Indiana no no they play again um this Friday the two teams the the Lakers and Pacers um so I would go over 30 and 10 for Anthony Davis there okay okay put it down put it down I like it uh we got

Heard that in a long time great word and the Shakira reference I I thought I saw a recent Shakira in a video maybe I’m mistaken maybe I thought she was going on a world tour there’s some rumors um no it’s not it either no anybody has anybody taken in some
Shakira recently could have sworn I saw her somewhere not in person and I don’t think it was a leis video but maybe I feel like we were talking about her recently within the last month her name has been said in this classic Factory wow but I can’t remember the context I
Can’t remember was on the air or not just wrote a song she wrote a song about her ex oh Gerard she says it’s going to be the last one she writes about him great call Great called PK she looks incredible I would like to see that
Video of her from the Super Bowl when she went it’s been a while uh how old do you think Shakira is 42 okay great guess 41 is Right style wow uh give me a 45 47 incredible incredible she looks amazing she doesn’t look 47 holy moly she looks like exactly
How you like remember her like from I don’t know when did she come around 20 years ago I don’t know it’s a while since she wolf came out similarly people ask how old is Jennifer Lopez and everybody’s like ah she looks like she’s 38 because she was
Out with Ben Affleck at uh lak yeah he was he he was mad was taking forever yeah God I just want to see how old Jennifer oh Isaiah says in the uh in the Stream team that a new Shakira album dropped this past Friday was nice Spotify got
Me Spotify got you man Justin Timberlake has new album as well that’s for you I I saw that he does I haven’t I haven’t consumed it yet the only thing I listened to this weekend was wax a Hatchy what’s that what’s that uh just a a singer songwriter very good
Very good record okay check it out let’s go to Losers of the weekend we’ll do a batch of these Trey who’s at the top of your list well ELO Tas mellis mentioned it earlier the Golden State Warriors are my loser of the weekend let’s talk about the game last night playing against the
Timberwolves oh there’s a timberwolf in the closet Warriors leading Minnesota heading into the fourth quarter Steph Curry resting on the bench back-to-back threes for Minnesota so suddenly they’re up three some basketball happens Rudy Oar gets a dunk Mike connley gets a steal which turns into an easy layup
That puts Minnesota up for timeout timeout says Steve cerr we got to settle things down still no Steph Curry still no Steph Curry and it’s run out for after run out from Minnesota Curry finally checks back in with 6 minutes and 50 seconds 6 minutes and 50 seconds
Left at this point Minnesota is up eight eventually Golden State’s able to tie it up but Minnesota goes on to win and it just seems to me that the Warriors are having a lot of trouble anytime Steph Curry is off the court obviously but more importantly they cannot put 48
Minutes of good basketball together because they gave up 68 in the second half against Minnesota that comes after their loss on Friday against Indie against the Pacers against Indianapolis Indiana the Warriors lead at half Pacers scor 36 in the third quarter they just ran the Warriors out of the gym in the
Second half it was capped off by Chris Paul getting tossed for calling Tony Brothers a tick tocker with too much power which honestly is a great L he had like a Tony Brothers interview ready go to post on his Instagram story after the game was over he said you
Think I’m just beefing with Scott Foster I can do it all yeah but the thing with the Warriors they’re in the play in tournament right now they have to win every game they possibly can right now so I was surprised to see Steph Curry play under 30 minutes in a game that
They absolutely needed to win like we mentioned they’re one game up on the Rockets right now maybe you would call it two games they’ve got another game to play against each other April 4th I believe which is going to be a huge game but disappointing weekend for the
Warriors and you mentioned it earlier skates the Rockets are trending upwards they’re a rocket the Warriors they’re falling down because they’re just losing games they shouldn’t lose I don’t have a reference for what they’re like that would have been a tough a warrior reference that’s falling tough one but
As you said uh they need to play Curry more I think that’s key to them winning and and maybe he feels a little bit tired because he has to do a lot when he’s out there they won his minutes by six points against the Timberwolves and they lost his minutes
That he was on the bench by 10 right that’s why they lost but Steve cerr was asked by our Anthony Slater what you think what do you think about the whole Curry thing there was there a reason you kept them on the floor for those fourth quarter minutes and Steve CER brought up
That they have five games in seven days it’s actually five and eight Steve anyway uh and eight of their last 12 are on the road and they have a pretty tight schedule but they’re a pretty good road team um so it is going to come down to
The wire uh for sure but yeah I just wonder if it’s all when all of a sudden done it’s going to catch up to them as you said they got to win games and then if they make the freaking play in they got to win on the road and they got to
Win on the road and then they got to go play a a one eight series on the road which would be extremely hard yeah I think he’s definitely trying to like of course rest his Superstar get him some minutes here and there maybe a part of it because he’s struggling a little bit
Too since he’s come back from that injury the ankle injury his last two games Steph Curry’s 9 of 24 that was in that loss to the Pacers six of 18 from Deep uh which is just weird to see for him and then you know five of 11 against
Minnesota but overall 9 of 21 and like there are not many easy shots for Steph Curry right now either is a big part of this equation too so um you understand he’s obviously trying you’re just trying to squeeze every little last bit of out of this guy for this home stretch and
Potential playing games and maybe playoffs but you’re just going to have to win these too with the the Rockets right on your heels so not looking good I mean I like I’m really torn too like I don’t have a dog in this race like I don’t really care who’s in the playing
But on one hand I want to see Steph Curry you always want to see Steph Curry especially when we’re talking like a one game to advance or one game to stay alive if it’s a 910 matchup so you want that but other I’m like I just got done
Talk about man Rockets are really fun to watch right now like they obviously play defense and it’s like they’re just a little more inspired and they’re like a feel-good story it’s like do I want to see would I rather see them try and take down LeBron and AD I don’t know I’m torn
I guess you can’t really go wrong you either get Steph Curry trying to save and drag his team to another game or you get a fun young Rockets team against the Lakers I you have a preference but I don’t know if I have a preference I probably would lean towards Steph but I
Mean that’s the thing you can play him as much as you need to right now cuz the season isn’t that long for the Warriors I don’t think it doesn’t even if they win in the playin tournament I don’t think that they would be favored in an
Eighth seed against a nuggets team no no and then then you know there’s been a lot of talk about what what’s the offseason going to look like for Golden State where are they going to go you know is it goodbye Clay is it goodby Chris is it retooling around Steph they
Need a second guy at this point they don’t really have a second guy like some nights it’s kaminga like he’ll have a great 25o game on 11 of 14 shooting or something like that clay can get hot at times still but there’s not a reliable second option it’s basically Curry can
You carry us to every single win and no wonder he’s exhausted at this point yeah they absolutely need a second guy that is definitely the thing that some hope for Andrew Wiggins to bring that thing around I got a dog in this it’s Andrew Wiggins we’re Canadian a couple some of
Us are Canadian here I’ve been cheering for Andrew Wiggins to to come along but that hasn’t happened uh there wasn’t somebody who scored more than 16 in this game besides Steph Curry and that’s the problem Wiggins has got a a hot game then a cold game then a hot game then a
Cold game I think the NBA is pretty happy seeing the Lakers in the nine seed and the Warriors right now in the 10 seed they’re thinking well this is good for the plan see if the Rockets can pass them Draymond Green said after the game I don’t care about the rockets and he
Called the Timberwolves like the old Timberwolves uh I don’t know he’s he and them are just waiting for the end of the season and just hoping but that’s that’s a long run even if they do make it through the plan that’s going to be tough uh let’s keep it going here I will
Give uh an interesting loser of the weekend to poor Mel Bridges and here’s why because the villain NOA Knicks held on to the fourth seed uh this week again thanks to a 10593 win over the Brooklyn Nets so you’ve got Josh Hart Dante D venzo Jaylen Brunson they’re thriving
Right now on this playoff bound Nicks team and their former college teammate Mel Bridges he’s had a brutal season disappointing year Brooklyn’s 26 and 45 you know they’re not even going to get into the playing game so after the game Josh Hart decided to have a little fun
At Bridge’s expense uh likening M’s situation there in Brooklyn to a classic pick that you’ve seen on the internet a million times this is what Hart said it’s like that SpongeBob Meme when Squidward is looking out the window and he sees SpongeBob and Patrick having fun
This is what again heart said uh by way of Christian Winfield of the New York daily news male is Squidward so he’s just looking down all his old Villanova boys you know over for the Knicks playing great Madison sare garden and here’s poor Mel Bridges just uh you know the opposite really just
Looking from afar and he’s had a bad year and he couldn’t keep up that strong play that he did exhibit at when he got traded from the Suns to to the Nets significant Decline and efficiency and obviously production uh and meanwhile you got Jaylen Brunson Allstar
De chenzo is having a career year uh had a great game against the Nets Josh Hart’s got what five triple doubles over the last like 20 plus games these guys are all kicking ass they’re podcasting with each other just like they rip on every guy it feels like in
The league like in a Charming way and then so their bro here in male bridges are like yeah he’s Squidward they even brought male bridges on their podcast and ripped him yeah and the Nets to his face and since then he shot like 40% from the field this guy wants to be a
Nick so bad I know I know like I was thinking he’s going to be sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden like when the Knicks are playing the magic or whatever right like him and Ryan Archie diak know side by side yeah like they’ll be there cheering on their guys and they
Put them on the Jumbotron you know nick man come here come here but uh anyway that made me laugh it’s like Josh Hart’s freaking hilarious man yeah he funny he’s got a lot of good Liv this season and just uh great to get the SpongeBob
Meb in there is that accurate I guess as far as SpongeBob goes cuz I haven’t consumed a lot of SpongeBob the meme the meme is like oh man the m is look how fun they’re having waving together him and Patrick he’s just looking on Squidward go through some things in that
God well JD always talks about Spong JD can you break down SpongeBob for USIC episode I remember that episode I think he’s more Furious that they’re having fun not feeling left out as I remember well that’s probably what Mel Bridges he probably curious especially how disappointing they’ve been yeah the
Knicks are like 20 games better than them yeah which again last year you know I bought into it you know you definitely were saying hey let’s temper the expectations on Bridges we I think uh I was like I think he’ll be an All-Star it’s looking that way he was most
Improved favorite coming into this season yeah yeah and it’s been a bad year it’s been a bad year for him and a bad year for this team they’ve disappointed and you know obviously flip coaches and I think the front office might be on thin ice here at some point
Shawn Marcus is like okay come on what are we doing here and they’re in the worst spot because at least a lot of these other bad teams they have draft picks they have draft Capital they have nothing yeah they have literally nothing the Nets like it’s like they’re bad and
You don’t really have a lot like I’m not sure how they’re going to work their way out of this outside of trading maybe bridges for a package a solid return of picks or something like that but then you’re training your best player so they
Don’t have a lot no I I think I don’t know what’s going to happen with Ben Simmons in this offseason going into his final offseason uh before his last last year of his contract I should say he’s got one year left I think part of them is hoping that
They can get to a disabled player exception where they don’t have to pay him and they can go pay somebody else because they can’t draft anybody so they can just hope to try and sign somebody else but the I think besides Mikel Bridges it hasn’t been a terrible season
He’s still averaging 20 points even though he’s shooting less it’s not been a good season the cam Johnson signing has not worked out well at all for them they signed him to a lot yeah uh he has been extremely disappointing the whole thing has been disappointing they changed their coach and they still
Aren’t playing hard right yeah uh I want to slip in another um loser of the weekend to the Portland Trailblazers Court I brought this up I maybe a week or so ago I said have you seen the court here in Portland it’s all scuffed up in the paint looks brutal oh my goodness
Well Blazers Palace tweeted this photo over the weekend just look how brutal it’s gotten like they’ve given up they don’t even care anymore this is like we are showing this to everybody on YouTube so podcast listeners seek this out it it’s it is beyond scuffed up um there in
Portland so I guess they’re just hoping to get through the end of the season here till they give it a nice coat of paint or something I don’t know it looks like the day after your high school hosted the homecoming yeah that’s right I told you not to wear your dress shoes
On the damn floor I thought I said non scuffing shoes all right Randy uh the weird thing to me about Portland’s court is that from the side angle like from the sideline is when it looks super scuffed up like that because if you see the Baseline angle it looks fine it just
Looks like pure black paint yeah and then you see it like that and they can is a buffer I had the chance this weekend uh because uh I helped coach the YMCA teams we had a coaches tournament on the Hawks floor so much fun uh we did
All right made it to the semi-finals my buddy Gish your buddy Gish our buddy grish and John John but uh had a tournament the point is yeah we had 11 teams we uh tied our first game won our next two we lost in overtime in the semi-finals there’s a clock I mean it
Was it was it was pretty legit um point is though so many dead spots on this floor it’s crazy you just sort of think like ah these floors they must be perfect they are far from perfect they’re like just like a couple spots you’re like wh ball just dies there
Really and so I you know a little Advantage I guess as the as the home team if you learn your court home court advant that was the whole thing back in the Celtics days right in the 80s like it almost like try and sort of like Drive the offensive player to particular
Parts of the floor because you knew it was going to be a dead spot but uh I was shocked that would be shocking cuz you’re playing on the same floor that the Atlanta Hawks are playing played later that night and kicked the snot out of the Hornets yeah yeah they and they
Didn’t give you a a crappy version of the floor no floor was the floor that was the Haw floor I wasn’t wearing my dress shoes out there either showed them the respect wearing the sabrinus but uh is that the only black key in the league
No way I mean I don’t I don’t think so remember off the top but it’s not very common yeah and maybe this is why like maybe they messed up they must have messed up a yeah because that is crazy and I was pointing this out weeks ago I
Was like it looks pretty bad doesn’t it and everyone’s like yeah but it’s gotten worse and worse and worse so okay uh what about you Tas TI us home here your final loser of the weekend uh just a quick stat I’m a stat geek right now Trailblazer started five rookies against
The Denver only the second time that that has happened since starters were tracked more than 50 years ago you you remember the other time that somebody start this is hard it’s the last game of the season situation though it’s like um is it the Warriors yeah it is the Golden
State Warriors Way Back saw the names I forget what it was the names are hilarious I’ll never get the names you you’ll know one what year Klay Thompson he was he was a rook now so this is It’s April 26 2012 this is the lockout year where we went on
Tour right before the lock year so maybe this is a little earlier in the season like when did the no the season ended then and it was just a short it was the last game cuz they were tanking like they were they were leaning into like a tiebreaker tank when you’re starting
These four guys with Klay Thompson I think you are correct these are four names that are very very difficult to think of how many career games did these four play all four oh wow can we get any do we know the no F no way f is way
Better than all these guys I mean he got paid these guys I don’t think earned another contract Oh wow was there somebody that had the like Barry in their name like middle like Ed middleberry no Ed midberry how can I give you a clu have some initials maybe initials okay well this
One guy has the same this is this is a weird weird here we go same last name as somebody played for the Raptors like for a good middle of the 2010s okay oh man he was he was a small forward Peterson n no if you’re not wrong then you’re
Uh right so Chris Wright Chris Wright oh my God okay I saw the names at one point but I forgot what they were Chris right so so there was actually going back to the Raptors there was that player with this last name that hurt himself when he
Iced his leg and it stayed on his leg for too long the DJ Tyler yeah but it’s another Tyler oh um Jeremy how do you remember I remember him on I remember him on the Warriors he was like drafted super young or something like that as
Well um well I don’t remember any of these guys so there’s two left um my boy didn’t make it huh uh no so midberry no no um we we all know a writer um that blink blinks writer Malcolm Gladwell yeah but it’s glad something else that’s his last
Name Gladstone or something no oh if if you’re just happy Danny Tanner got some time with the Warriors I remember but not for that not that season if you’re going through a what about guy from Hanging with Mr Cooper didn’t he play for the Warriors to yeah yeah I got some
Time these are two two na last names that you’ll you know others by Mel gladness Mel gladness who that’s his name what the hell I thought you were joking that’s a guy that’s a guy baby and then the last one I thought you were literally joking and then I thought you
Were joking yeah I thought I would be joking too Mel gladen I’ve never even heard I I don’t know that name at all no and I’m a bit of a sicko wow and last one quick here CJ are his initials cuz I got nothing CJ are CJ Toano CJ St CJ CJ
AB CJ no Cory Johnson neither neither it’s neither a Johnson neither a CJ rice it’s it’s an interest it’s a great last name to be honest you made no joke with it maybe God uh anyways it’s it’s a Jenkins chrisy nah Claude nah Carl nope still not Chris uh cor
No I only know three names so his name is C Jenkins uh we’re trying to figure first Charles that’s right yeah there we go sorry about that Charles Jenkins F had to give you that one had to give you that one anyways those are the Klay Thompson started with Charles Jenkins a
Chris Wright a Jeremy Tyler and a Mel gladness so then the Blazers started camera Mur Scoot duop wath and rert over their five rookies no and I bring them up from Survivor give me the ball in the pr nobody had shoes um will oh I guess the answer is
Well clay was a part of that will in I don’t know how 20 years well not 20 years but 10 15 years time when inevitably another team starts five rookies my point is we’re going to look back and are we going to be like whoa that you know Chris Murray scoot
Henderson Scootaloo Tani like I don’t know might be more memorable than those ones I think so cuz clay but Klay brings it up because he’s gonna Hall of Famer so hopefully sco better turn into to be a Hall of Famer but I am looking forward
To task giving the hint of uh this guy’s last name is a decoration at the holidays re and his first first name is a style of music that was popular in the 1950s why not man desperate time it’s March baby that’s hard yeah do you have a
Weekend loser Char Jenkins um I’m gonna go with Chris Dunn of the Utah Jazz who’s had a decent year he’s had a decent year but he got into it with the Houston Rockets got a little physical threw a little bow thre a little fist I I should say through a punch through a
Punch yeah yeah he did not connect and it was a really quick one but he was hoping to connect uh with Jabari Smith’s face and unfortunately Christ D will be uh out for two games suspended for two games loses $35,000 he was grabbing that Jersey ja
Smith he grabbing it and he threw a quick fist I don’t know why Smith was really suspended for one game don’t really know he fighting to though kind of fighting defending himself a little bit Yeah but maybe this is a Rocket’s reputation thing because they get into
Some some scrubs uh Dylan Brooks and demaro D rozan recently Dylan Brooks and Jared Vanderbilt earlier on in the season amen Thompson and Jeremy Sohan amen Thompson didn’t do anything but all that to say um Chris has had a fine year and I think he’ll be signed uh but he
Lost $35,000 I think he does I think he has earned himself some terms some more years here in the NBA this year I I think he’s done that this little altercation allegedly stemmed from a game prior too between these two I guess this was a bit of a
Carryover with the tempers and the words being exchanged and then ultimately getting into it but yeah two games for chrison one game for Jabari who will miss the next Rockets game and we just got done talking about how important he had been didn’t matter in that jazz game
But uh you know will the winning streak end because of that in play but okay Chris Dunn little loser the weekend yeah a little loser for kristoffer Michael Dunn I didn’t know that was his real name Christopher yeah I mean am I mispronouncing is it Christopher no it’s
Christopher that’s his name isn’t it just Christ Christopher yeah but hold on a second look at this spelling it does not look like a Christopher it’s k r i s t o f e r I guess it’s Christoph that would be Christopher with a K yeah it is unusual
Not with the pH yeah yes and no h after the K but fine okay anyway uh let’s get to tweet of the night tweet of the night wow TW uh yeah this is an NBA show but uh let’s slip in a little March Madness actually this is
Just a name guys type of show today um but going to March Madness the men’s tournament uh Michelle Steele tweeted this weekend they were showing Dan Hurley on the screen and she wrote Dan Hurley’s wife travels with a portable washing machine so Dan Hurley can launder and wear the

Cry I just cry and I feel so much better afterwards it’s a release of endorphins I know people say work out you release endorphins is good for you that’s hard crying is easier just takes like 30 seconds boom done I feel so much better what are you talking about how is
That a a super like if I don’t cry every morning I’m going to have you cry before the show every morning is that you’re car he gets here at 9:30 sits in his car and cries imagine being able to cry neighbors called actually wow I I would
Love that if I could cry for half an hour i’ feel so much better afterwards wow I’m just kidding uh but no it apparently it does so I’m going to I haven’t cried in a long time I got to get it back do you have any any have an
Actual Superstition I got tons oh okay yeah yeah yeah I do the salt thing if I spill salts I do it my mother ingrained it in me born in Belfast she’s very superstitious woman she’s not very religious but she’s very superstitious no shoes on the table comes up more
Often than you think with teenagers sh everywh including the table that’s a bad one clear the table with that I’m just like get those shoes off the table that’s gross it is gross I mean it’s just a yeah I think that’s just it’s it’s whatever it’s bad luck but also
Pragmatic it’s like hey don’t put your shoes on the table but even new shoes on the table you can’t put on the table wow yeah that’s even worse apparently uh yeah and my latest one this is a new one that that that I’ve developed in the last year when I’m
Playing pickleball before every single serve before before every play I got to hit my forehead with my my paddle like this a psycle I know yeah well it’s tort of to like you tap it I tap it but if I’ve had a bad like if I [ __ ] up then
I’m like which is not a good idea for somebody who suffers from terrible headaches a lot but it’s just like it’s to remind me to keep my paddle up and in front of me right it’s just like something I just sort of like hey got
Got to remember boom but now if I don’t do it I’m like well it’s cuz I forgot to to tap my head cuz you’re hitting your head with the side of the paddle the side of it yeah it’s like like an axe Gunk yeah that’s how you’re supposed to
Hold like a mark your forehead I know but yeah superstitions man they’re powerful Trey are you superstitious at all uh I just stick to the classics no umbrellas inside no walking under ladders don’t love seeing black cats I don’t really think there’s like any effect or anything but you know I do
Take notice when I see it oh so black cat’s good luck with according to my mind I know see that’s one of those ones you’re like which one is it it’s like we talk about getting [ __ ] on by a bird yeah it’s like is that bad luck or good luck come on
Yeah that’s such a catch 202 that that one’s one you can’t do that often uh I know another one follow a bird around I know another one you do yeah uh and I generally live by it as well although I’ve forgotten from time to time probably a lot of basketball fans do it
Or or players can’t leave the gym with uh can’t leave on a Miss can’t leave on a Miss usually we usually you got to hit a three-pointer is what uh my sort of superstition is before you leave the gym so when the run is over or you’re
Leaving you got to knock down a three then you can leave then you can go yeah I’ve seen you definitely that one yeah I like to make a three then make a left-handed layup oh wow you add it to it little Outside Inside think so this guy can leave the

Tas being me when I don't know what's going on and zone out 42:38
Rockets do play booty on the road but all the momentum is on their side right now with pressure on the Warriors. Rockets are in the first year of a roster/staff overhaul and they are well-past their projected wins. Although the Rockets have played very bad away from Toyota Center on the season, they are currently on a 5 road-game win streak and 2 of the wins were against a healthy Suns and Kings. Excited to see where things go, even if they miss the play-in, Rockets fans have a lot to look forward to for the future with everyone in good shape and building chemistry. The road-game situation has to be evaluated over the off-season.

Naz. Reid. Let’s go!!!
You know, I’m really tired of watching basketball games because of the stadium noises. It’s so loud sometimes you can’t even hear the announcers and it’s distracting. There should be a ban on music during play. Is this a crazy take?
Shout out my favorite player Ed Middleberry
Giannis been taken out of MVP convos for 4yrs now. Most disrespected superstar in nba history
Not a Pacers fan, but how long are we going to falsely pretend that the Lakers free throw differential is due to the way they play?
Trey coming through with the music! Waxahatchee is good!
1 year and 7 days of being sad about the chances of a NO CHAINS disc golf podcast 🙁
