named after Michael Rubin. Maybe.

0:53

Yes. There's a new JJ

0:55

0:58

we just got so much other stuff. Somebody

1:00

Welcome to the rates Rickey sent It says podcast, I'm

4:00

Spike Eskin along with a guy with a fresh

4:03

haircut, looking fly, that is one Mike

4:05

Levin. Should

4:07

have been two Clippers wins in four days. Would

4:09

have been great. I wanted this one pretty bad,

4:11

man. Wanted this one pretty bad, especially when they

4:14

came out, took a lead, I

4:16

was like, you know what, they're gonna have to win this game.

4:19

And this is not my

4:21

thing, I feel like I've done it twice.

4:25

Fucking refs should have called a foul in one of

4:27

those final two drives from Ubre. Yeah,

4:31

one of the two, I think deserved a

4:33

foul call, specifically the Kawhi one. But I

4:35

guess if they're being consistent,

4:37

they're just not calling stuff as much anymore, but I

4:39

wanted a foul on one of those two calls. And

4:41

I also wanna know why Kyle Lowry wasn't playing for

4:43

the last five minutes of the game. Do

4:47

you, the replay

4:49

rules just seem so like... It's just

4:51

like sort of arbitrary. Particularly arbitrary. Yeah,

4:53

well I hate replay. In every sport,

4:55

I don't think there should be any

4:57

replay in any sport, my position. But

5:01

it does seem like, like

5:03

what are we doing? It just

5:05

seemed like they couldn't review the

5:08

Kawhi block on Ubre because it's

5:11

like, well

5:13

the stoppage happened when the

5:15

ball went into the rim and

5:20

wedged in. Right. And so

5:22

we cannot review the thing that happened .03

5:24

milliseconds before. That's

5:27

unreviewable. It's unreviewable, Spike. Spike,

5:30

how can you think we can review it? Who knows

5:32

what would have happened in those .03 seconds? I

5:35

mean, it's just like, I'm not a soccer guy

5:37

at all, but it seems like in soccer, they're like,

5:39

yeah, this is about as much

5:41

time we can, let me give it a second and we'll go look

5:43

at it. It just seems insane

5:45

that they go like, no, the stoppage happened precisely

5:47

at the second and nothing that could have happened

5:49

before that minuscule second could

5:51

be reviewed. And it's just like, it's

5:53

bullshit, dude. It just doesn't, it's just

5:56

fuck it's all, we're all, it's all

5:58

fake. Well, that's all I get. If you think that there's. You

6:00

should be allowed to review it if

6:02

it's close enough. Well, I think that's

6:04

my problem with instant replay in general

6:06

is that it should

6:09

never end. Like, if the

6:12

goal is to get everything right, then

6:15

you should look at

6:17

everything in replay. Like, that's my issue

6:19

with it, is that I don't know

6:21

where to draw the line on anything.

6:23

Well, the line is that you have

6:25

two timeouts or two tries

6:27

at it. One if you get it right, and

6:30

then another one. One regular and one if you

6:32

get it right. So, to me,

6:35

you should be able to review anything regardless of whether there

6:37

was a foul or a stoppage or wasn't. Like, you should

6:39

be able to stop the game at

6:42

the next stoppage and go, like, that thing, I'm

6:44

reviewing that thing. If you're giving everyone a replay,

6:46

they should get... It shouldn't be like, only

6:48

if there was one whistle at this very moment.

6:51

And then the game ending and going, like, we

6:53

can't look at that because the game has ended.

6:55

It's just... And there was no call on it.

6:57

It's like, well, that's the whole game. It just

6:59

seems very incredibly arbitrary. And it's like, look, if

7:01

you're limiting challenges, fine. But

7:04

don't... You should get... You

7:06

should be able to challenge what the fuck ever. It

7:09

seems insane that there wasn't an ability

7:11

to challenge either of those two plays

7:13

because they didn't... There wasn't a whistle

7:15

blown for that very thing. So,

7:18

it's just a bummer. And

7:21

that wasn't enough to overturn the oubre out of

7:23

bounds thing that Paul George picked it out. No,

7:25

I don't think that should have been overturned. It's

7:27

ridiculous. So, it's just... It just feels very arbitrary.

7:30

And in a coin flip game, everything

7:32

went to the Clippers in the end there.

7:34

And that's tough. But we can talk about

7:36

other stuff that shouldn't have gotten to that point. But I like how

7:38

Matt Nickner's got. So, in the chat,

7:40

CJ, can you put this up on the screen?

7:43

Apparently, Kelly Oure called

7:45

every ref a bitch.

7:48

So, you're a bitch, you're a bitch,

7:50

and you're a bitch, okay. Your mom's a bitch,

7:52

your dad's a bitch, your grandma's a bitch. This

7:54

is what the one for you is. I love

7:56

it. He is doing it. I would 100%. You're

7:58

a bitch, you're a bitch, and you're a bitch. Yes, and the rest

8:00

are like yeah, I go you say that again. I

8:03

bet Great.

8:05

All right. I'll be Kelly you break guy. I

8:07

am Kelly you a break guy now Yeah, how

8:09

I would act on the court. I would make

8:11

I would embarrass myself I would I would have

8:13

so little respect people the same like have some

8:16

respect for the game I wouldn't I would be

8:18

making a lot of people mad. There'd be like

8:20

friggin Fox News

8:22

segments about how inappropriate I am to the refs.

8:24

Oh I

8:26

would really debase myself in unfortunate ways So

8:29

weird game, I think up one. Yeah, should've

8:31

won it shouldn't have gotten to that point

8:35

Would be nice if they could inbound the ball

8:37

and we wouldn't have gotten to this point maxi

8:39

falling down Tripping on the inbounds

8:41

late and giving up a wide open

8:43

fast break that ubre did make a nice play on

8:45

to at least four foul shots and then coffee

8:47

went one or two from the line which felt like

8:49

man that that's it That's the kind of hustle winning

8:51

play that swings a game just by

8:53

them only getting one there And but

8:56

then he fouls later on a Kawhi Drive.

8:58

He didn't foul that much It

9:00

could have been a no-call He really didn't

9:02

get he didn't swing down and hit him like there's just

9:04

like a little body as he goes over there Like I

9:07

think that that is that would have been fine to not

9:09

call So

9:12

that's so that's tough and then yeah as much

9:14

as I do love who be driving I wouldn't

9:16

have drawn up the play for who brated

9:19

drive on Kawhi at the end of the game Yeah game

9:21

on the line and and then the last play he's got

9:23

to get a shot up Yeah, you gotta

9:25

get a floater or pull up a

9:27

three off the catch from buddy Like you

9:30

can't not get a shot up the fact that we

9:32

won the tip somehow But to makes

9:34

a nice play out of it to get to buddy the

9:36

ball gets back to ubre Open space in front of them

9:39

to shake floater shot on the rim Yeah anything and that's

9:41

and that's obviously a crazy play you can't think for but

9:43

it would be nice if you had a little bit more

9:45

Heads up to be like they're probably not gonna call this

9:48

shit Even if that foul happened

9:50

it would have happened with like point two on the clock

9:52

It would have really really tight get a

9:54

shot up. I want to shot up in that situation I

9:57

I did just bring it up. It seemed

9:59

like they only had one guy on the court

10:01

who could dribble for the last six minutes of

10:03

the game, especially when they're like, we had talked

10:05

about a couple of, couple of

10:08

pods ago, how when they double team

10:10

maxi, it's so much nicer to have

10:12

Lowry on the, on the court for

10:14

two reasons. One, he can dribble to,

10:16

he can make reasonably quick decisions with

10:18

the ball. And you know,

10:20

somebody you talk about a lot, but

10:22

like healed and Tobias takes

10:24

so long to decide to

10:26

do anything. Like if healed isn't shooting a wide

10:29

open three, I'm sure he will make a mistake.

10:31

I just, I don't know why Lowry wasn't playing

10:33

at the end of the game. Yeah.

10:35

It might've been a, might've been a minutes thing. Yeah.

10:37

He played 22. He was pretty

10:40

good. Hit a couple threes, moved the ball well,

10:42

then played good defense on Paul George. I

10:44

thought obviously hit another lob to Mo Bamba

10:47

automatic. It's unbelievable the chemistry those two

10:49

have for

10:52

a guy that has no chemistry with anybody else. Bomba

10:54

sure does love playing with Lowry. He

10:56

catches them almost every time, every time it's

10:58

unbelievable. Yeah. The, the thing

11:00

that it felt like late and maybe it

11:02

was part of why maxi tripped, maybe

11:05

it was over his own feet, maybe a little bit from

11:07

behind. Do you know how many minutes maxi played

11:09

this game? Oh, 45. Yeah.

11:11

44. Oh, there you go. And it's like,

11:14

that's how many he played in that, in our

11:16

game and the father process game, I believe. Dude,

11:18

you just can't, you can't play them that

11:21

many minutes. Like not, not

11:23

only because it's like gonna, it risks other

11:25

injury stuff obviously, but like then at the

11:27

end of the game, when you really need

11:29

him to make a play that like little,

11:31

he's got so little energies running around the

11:33

court. Like he's, he's defending hard. I

11:36

thought he had a couple of nice box

11:38

outs in this game. I got the Kyle Lowry influence.

11:40

Like I know he's young. Everyone's gonna say he's young.

11:42

He's fine, but like that's playing really hard. That, that

11:44

like three percentage points that

11:46

you go down when you're that tired

11:48

after playing that many minutes in this

11:51

game, it's just tough and you got

11:53

to find a way campaign has been good enough

11:55

during the season with the Sixers that maxi

11:58

does not need to play 44 minutes. in this game.

12:00

They were up at moments in this game where you could

12:02

have had stole two or three more minutes for Maxi so

12:05

that he didn't have to play so many straight at the

12:07

end. And

12:09

I just that's just Nick what Nick nurse defaults to and

12:11

it's only gonna get more extreme as he gets the playoffs

12:13

and and I think that that

12:16

is a flaw of his. Yeah, I'm

12:18

not I'm not I'm not particularly

12:20

worried about Maxi playing minutes. But there was time it

12:22

wasn't it's there were times in this game that he

12:24

couldn't get he couldn't shake free. They had

12:27

to take a timeout when he couldn't shake free at one point.

12:29

They had to take a they had to call

12:31

the last play for Oubre because Maxi didn't have

12:33

anything left in his legs. He trips

12:35

on the inbounds. By the way, if Tobias did that

12:37

on the inbounds, I don't think he would have been

12:39

able to leave the building. No, that would have been

12:42

effort to bias. Yeah, they would they would have to

12:44

dig a hole at the bottom of the Wells Fargo

12:46

Center. Yeah, but they announced the team has just had

12:48

too many inbound mistakes. I thought that that inbounds pass

12:50

from the tomb to Oubre. Obviously, Oubre has got to

12:52

squeeze that and notice that Paul George

12:54

is coming and just bring it down and make sure he

12:56

gets it. And don't be cute about it. But that that

12:58

pass from the tomb didn't have to be that lackadaisical. Like

13:01

this stuff, this stuff matters. The smart players in

13:04

the team can't be making those those

13:06

mistakes. And they lose

13:08

the game. Obviously, the refs and the and

13:10

the challenges were annoying. And I think we're

13:12

credible. And I and I support

13:15

Nick nurse and Kelly Lubre losing their minds over

13:18

over it at the end there. But

13:20

you just can't you got to clean up

13:22

the easy stuff. And some of that easy stuff could be cleaned

13:24

up if you if you just like didn't

13:28

run ground maxis knees into dust by

13:30

playing by playing him so much. He

13:32

had a great game. He's awesome. I

13:34

love how about he just placed three

13:36

games a year. He plays 20 minutes in each game,

13:38

all the good players and then it's so they're fresh

13:41

for the playoffs. Well, come on man. 44

13:43

minutes. No, there's a reason why he's going

13:45

to 44 minutes. But he was jamming in

13:47

this game. They lost this game because Maxi

13:49

was too tired to get free. Right. But

13:51

if I had not but but that like

13:53

that, I think that the calculus you're not

13:56

know, like he matters in those other minutes.

13:58

Right. So Even in that

14:00

situation if he doesn't play those minutes. You gotta find

14:02

a way to survive them so that he can be

14:05

around at the end when you go, like there's nobody

14:07

else that can get free. So we don't have to

14:09

go, okay, Kelly Oubre, who I love, who is great,

14:11

who got to the rim a ton, and he made

14:13

some mistakes, understood it's fine. But

14:16

he was six to 17 for the game. He

14:19

wasn't like dominating in this one. Your best player needs to

14:21

have the ball in his hands, and it seemed like he

14:23

was just too tired to do anything with it. And

14:25

that matters. That matters not just in the future

14:27

of like how much tread you're

14:29

putting on those tires, but it matters in this game when

14:32

you couldn't break free. He was turning the corner over and

14:34

over and over again in the first half, no

14:37

matter who it was. Obviously it was very fun for it when he

14:39

did it to Harden, but he's turning the corner on man, he's turning

14:41

the corner on Kawhi. They're sending double teams out and they're getting the

14:43

ball out of his hands. He had a really nice scoop floater at

14:45

the end of the first quarter to beat the buzzer. He's

14:49

been using his hesitation more. I thought he was

14:51

in total control. And at a certain point, honestly,

14:53

he just plays too many minutes, and that edge

14:55

that he has over those players goes away. And

14:58

he's got it, and the team has, obviously, and beats

15:00

hurt, meltons hurt, all this stuff. Maxi

15:03

has elite, elite, turn the corner speed in

15:05

this game. And when you play him too

15:07

many minutes, that advantage goes away. And that's

15:10

on Nick Nurse. He's got to find a

15:12

better way to survive more

15:14

than four minutes in a game without

15:17

Max. You say that like, they

15:20

stink. But they were playing

15:22

pretty well. They were playing, like, in

15:25

part because Maxi's on the floor. Absolutely. Look, I

15:27

know the importance of Maxi, but nobody plays 44

15:29

minutes a night. Nobody in the league plays

15:31

44 minutes a night. Sometimes

15:33

people play 44 minutes sometimes. And I think in

15:36

the regular season, that should not be the case.

15:38

In a regular season regulation game, that should not

15:40

be the case. In a first game back

15:42

after a tough road trip on

15:45

the West Coast. I just think Nick Nurse needs

15:48

to trust players more. I mean,

15:50

there's no reason for camp. Campaign's been great. You were

15:52

sitting next to me at the Clippers game, talking about

15:54

how every shot you think campaign takes is going to

15:56

go in. Yes, but the truth about campaign is that,

16:00

one game out of every three games just like that.

16:02

Yeah, no, I'm not saying Cam should be playing in

16:04

35 minutes, but he's gotta be, in

16:06

a game when Lowry's on a minutes restriction, a bunch

16:08

of guys aren't there, I just think it's inexcusable. I

16:10

think that's partly why they lost the game. The other

16:13

reason why they lost the game, I think that Nick

16:15

Nurse, is I just don't like when they go small

16:18

for other people to go small. If you wanna

16:20

go small because you think that you're better prepared,

16:22

like if you think KJ Martin or something, who

16:24

didn't play it all tonight, is a better option

16:28

with like, you know, the tomb and those

16:30

guys to switch

16:32

and get loose balls and stuff, then

16:34

you're being the active one to do that? I'm

16:37

fine with that. But don't just go small because they

16:39

went small. And it seemed like Nurse

16:41

allowed Tai Lu to dictate the tempo of

16:44

this game. And in the second half, no

16:47

B-ball Paul who played well, no Mo Bamba who played

16:49

pretty well. Yeah, I thought they both played pretty well.

16:51

I think Mo Bamba had a good few

16:53

games, I think. Yeah, to take those

16:56

guys out and go like, okay, Tobias

16:58

now has to help over

17:01

because there's nobody back there. So he has to help low. And

17:04

then the ball gets swung to the opposite corner

17:06

and it's Tobias having to crow hop his slow

17:08

ass back to the corner to contest a shot.

17:11

They just got so much good offense out of that. And

17:15

Tobias played 38 minutes and he wasn't good.

17:18

He had a couple shots, sure. Now he stunk.

17:20

But he wasn't good. He

17:22

wasn't good. There's so many times when

17:24

the ball just like whizzes past his head

17:26

on defense because he is

17:28

not quick enough to see it. He's not quick enough to

17:30

adjust his body to move his body to see it. And

17:34

there were like loose balls he didn't get. He missed

17:36

the three short one time in the first quarter and

17:38

he ran back on defense when

17:41

the offensive rebound bounced right where he was standing. Like

17:43

if he had a better sense, he would know that,

17:45

oh, that's gonna be short and it's gonna go right

17:47

here. There's a heady play there to be

17:49

made. And he just doesn't seem to make

17:51

it because he's not quick enough. But Tu makes that play all the

17:53

time. Cal Lowry makes that play

17:56

all the time. Yeah, but that's why I keep asking why Cal Lowry

17:58

wasn't in the court because I- Yeah, no, I don't know. I

18:00

think they had too many too many guys having

18:02

Tobias and healed on the court at

18:05

the same time like you're really There's

18:07

no way that ball is gonna get past more

18:09

than twice that they can I possess I I

18:11

can't imagine for that last Jump ball. I cannot

18:13

imagine a player in the league in Any

18:16

league I would want on the court more than

18:18

less than Tobias Harris Like the idea

18:20

that he was gonna come up with a contested ball

18:22

would be the first two of insane Insane,

18:25

what is this commitment? You have put KJ

18:28

Martin in there put Ricky council In there

18:30

for a jump ball anybody put put fucking b-ball

18:32

Paul in there for sure Like the

18:34

idea that Tobias was in there just because it's like well He's

18:38

Tobias He's I see the starting

18:40

lineup on the corner there and he's written in there

18:42

and Sharpie So we got to put him in I

18:44

just it's it's this automatic so basically 38 minutes And

18:46

he wasn't good enough he turns the corner He always

18:48

turns the corner going left the beginning of this season

18:50

when I was complimenting Tobias He would get all the

18:52

way to the rim when he turned the corner going

18:54

left He would get all the way to the rim

18:56

and he would finish really nicely it wasn't as much

18:58

of a dunk as I would like it to be

19:00

but it was getting higher off the glass and finishing

19:02

around a Big and and lately the last couple months

19:04

he gets bodied Out

19:07

of that drive and has to force

19:09

a no contact pull-up Because

19:12

he's not good at getting fouled. He doesn't think about it.

19:14

It's not natural to him and He

19:16

and he did that a couple times tonight and missed and

19:19

it's just like part of the reason why you know Tobias

19:22

you're six eight 38 minutes to foul

19:24

shots Two foul shots

19:27

in this game There's no reason why

19:29

he was in he was in that late. I would

19:31

have taken almost anybody else The

the mound and Zach Wheeler are

19:52

Underdogs to the Atlanta Braves on

19:55

opening day Disrespectful

19:57

I would love for the Braves to not Get

20:00

out like a 15 game lead by

20:02

yes, that would be nice So

20:04

like it's just like they're just granted it there

20:06

you go 15 game late there. Yeah Yeah, they're

20:08

like a wild favorite for the division too. I

20:11

think they're like minus 400. I think for the

20:13

division Let me look I can't find it I

20:15

can't even believe that the Phillies are underdogs and

20:17

opening day at home with Wheeler

20:19

They let's say hold on player totals

21 see show notes for details. I Did

21:19

like Similar to the

21:21

Clippers game that they won on the road I

21:25

did enjoy they got out to a big

21:27

lead the Clippers battled back and took

21:29

a lead and the Sixers did not Crumble

21:32

like they did now they eventually won the

21:34

one in LA and they didn't win the

21:36

one here But I did I do think

21:39

of late. Well, I don't know maybe not

21:41

every game. Yeah, but yeah But

21:47

I Felt

21:51

like these two games I don't know if it

21:53

says more about the Clippers the Clippers that it

21:55

does the Sixers But I did enjoy that they

21:57

they grinded through it and kept it until the

21:59

end Yeah, no,

22:02

I think there's a lot to be look I'm absolutely a

22:05

Moral victory guy. Yeah to my core

22:08

I do think that

22:10

it was Good to see You

22:14

know bomb a play as well as

22:16

he did he did we have

22:18

to say Attack a closeout and

22:20

took a floater as a seven foot four

22:22

player that he then everybody. I Don't

22:26

I think if b-ball Paul gets gets

22:28

pulled whenever Nick nurse, you know He

22:31

looks at Nick nurse funny. Then I

22:33

think Mo Bamba should be sent

22:35

to a You know

22:38

summer camp somewhere for a while after Missing

22:40

that floater as

22:43

much as he did He

22:45

did have a I thought he had a bunch of offensive

22:47

rebounds and putbacks. That's how we got most of his points

22:51

He had one where he was like actually physical with it I

22:54

thought that was nice a little muscle himself into a

22:56

layup. I that doesn't happen very often He usually gets

22:58

out muscle all over the place. He had a big

23:00

block on a Paul George dunk attempt at the rim

23:02

I thought he was good I

23:04

thought it was a good Mo Bamba game and a

23:07

good b-ball game who is I thought played really under

23:09

control around the Rim on offense. He finished a

23:11

couple times really nicely got fouled He

23:14

had a They sent no

23:16

help on a hardened step back That

23:19

b-ball was on him for and I was like great don't

23:21

help You do I think actually

23:23

b-ball defended him pretty well twice one-on-one if

23:25

I remember correctly Yeah, absolutely and it's just

23:27

like there's like all you can do you're

23:29

not gonna block the shot probably So you

23:31

just make it hard on him make him

23:33

change the arc stay with him. He's not

23:35

that fast anymore You're good and you

23:37

a good Deanna he missed The

23:41

the frustrating thing is is when is when

23:44

the rules are enforced for Nick nurse because

23:48

b-ball Paul blocks Paul

23:51

George from behind I think it was Maybe

23:55

was off an inbounds or there's an event right after I remember

23:57

he blocked it out of bounds and

24:00

Nick When the trainers immediately, one possession

24:02

into the set, because there

24:04

was a timeout beforehand, he

24:07

pulls B-ball Paul from

24:09

the game. One possession after a timeout.

24:13

On a possession that B-ball makes a play on. So

24:15

maybe he wasn't in the right position, maybe he should have been there before, whatever,

24:18

but he makes a

24:20

play. The next play, when Mo Bamba comes in

24:22

for B-ball Paul, Mo

24:24

Bamba moving screen. And

24:27

it's like, why are the rules

24:29

enforced for B-ball? And they're not

24:31

for Mo Bamba. Mo Bamba gets a fucking floater,

24:33

misses by six feet. Keep doing it

24:36

Mo, you're doing great. I don't know how much- But

24:38

it just feels like B-ball gets penalized

24:41

for so much more than

24:43

anybody else on the team. And certainly,

24:45

than Tobias. I don't know why- Because

24:47

he's a helpful player on this team,

24:50

and Nick just doesn't let

24:52

him do it. He shouldn't play more than 20 minutes of game when

24:54

it beats back, obviously. But

24:58

Nick is hurting the team because of this grudge

25:00

he has against B-ball. No, it's not a grudge. I

25:03

can't take this anymore for you and A-U. It

25:05

is. It's two straight coaches that

25:07

are completely different who are handling him the

25:09

exact same way because you have to handle-

25:11

It has no brain. What's that? No,

25:13

you have to handle- I'm sure Mo Bamba stands in the right place. But

25:16

you have to handle different players differently. And

25:19

clearly, this is the way that you have

25:21

to manage Paul Reed. Like,

25:24

it's just, it seems clear to me that

25:27

the only thing that he listens to, that

25:29

the only way- He's like

25:31

a fucking- Like they have like a shot collar

25:33

on him or something. Like it's the bench. I

25:36

just, I think it's- Nick

25:38

Nurse and Doc Rivers are way different guys.

25:41

No, of course. But I think there is a coaching kind of

25:43

thing. And there's

25:48

a coaching kind of thing where they just want you to do what

25:50

they say. They want you

25:52

to do exactly what they say. But

25:54

B-Ball Paul makes shit happen in broken

25:56

plays. But he also does- That Mo

25:58

Bamba cannot do. For sure, but

26:00

he also does a lot of dumb shit. Absolutely. Yeah,

26:03

absolutely. He is a, he is a particular guy. He

26:05

should not be a starter on this team. He should

26:07

not be playing a ton of minutes. If you want

26:09

to go small and throw KJ Martin on there, sometimes

26:11

I'm fine with it. But it's the, it is the,

26:15

the fact that he doesn't, that the rules are not

26:17

enforced both ways and I think, I agree with you.

26:19

I think B-ball should be coming off the bench. I

26:21

like that energy coming off the bench. I like him

26:23

being like, this is your role when, and B comes

26:25

back. But I just don't,

26:30

an issue with nurses is that, and

26:32

all coaches, that they just have guys that for

26:34

whatever reason, they don't like. Covington

26:37

is the same way with nurse. Well,

26:40

Covington's been injured. When

26:42

he wasn't injured, when he wasn't injured, he was the same

26:44

thing. It was like, why, why is Marcus Morris playing so

26:46

much more than Robert Covington? And

26:48

it was just like, there's some, some guys that coaches just

26:50

don't like, they don't like where they stand. They don't like

26:52

what they do. They have expectations that you don't expect, whatever.

26:55

And I'm worried, as I said on the last

26:57

podcast, I think that, that nurses going

26:59

to play MOBAMBA in a playoff game over B-ball

27:01

Paul, and it's going to cost

27:04

them because of his own little, little bias. And there's

27:06

the like, Oh, we don't, this

27:08

guy does what I say. This guy doesn't, but at

27:10

a certain point, like one player is just better. One

27:13

player is just more helpful to winning and B-ball is

27:15

more helpful to winning the way he like just manages

27:17

to steal you extra possessions across the board. I

27:21

believe it. I believe strongly. I do think it

27:23

was a good buddy healed game. It's great

27:25

to see him like carry

27:27

them for stretches. I

27:30

don't like watching him at all. I

27:33

mean, he had that deep three to take a look at

27:35

the future was off of a weird pass from the tomb, a weird place

27:37

on the court to make that pass. I thought it was great. I think

27:39

he makes timely cuts all over the place. He had a nice cut to

27:42

the foul line where he got a jumper

27:44

out of it. Um, I

27:47

wrote, had those moments where he was at, he was

27:49

the office. I think I probably meant offense when I

27:51

wrote it, but I liked that he was the office.

27:53

He was the office. The,

27:56

he got a couple of floorboards and some loose

27:58

balls that spun into a. I thought he

28:00

showed some actually really good fight in this one. I

28:03

really liked I thought he defended hardened pretty well Got

28:06

his hands on some balls. I thought he played really well.

28:08

It was a good buddy. He'll game It was a nice to

28:10

see him like in the game when

28:12

the Sixers offense was went through stretches of dead

28:14

period especially in the third Quarter, he really carried

28:16

him there when he hit shots. He's great when

28:18

he has and he's pretty brutal watch I feel

28:20

like I feel like there's a lot of like a lot of

28:23

Tobias tendencies on offense with with buddy healed But he

28:25

was three of seven from three which I'm fine, which

28:27

is great and I'm fine with and he was four

28:29

four from two Like sure it was a

28:31

good it was a good offensive buddy healed game moving the

28:34

ball. I'm more of a process guy Sure

28:37

No, I agree that I just it's

28:39

been very bad for a little bit and this

28:41

was it's nice Even though he doesn't do a

28:44

ton of things great This was nice.

28:46

We're like, oh wow, like this guy was kind of playing

28:48

14 18 minutes or whatever is Is

28:51

their offense right now when when maxi was

28:53

was kind of getting locked up There was

28:55

one there was one thing maxi did there

28:57

was a Lowry hit a really nice drive a

29:00

Big steps up and he shuffled to ubra

29:02

cutting baseline They got fouled few plays later

29:05

same exact thing with maxi maxi drive a

29:07

big steps up and a shuffled a bit bomb But cutting

29:09

baseline for a layup. It was very nice and I like

29:12

the sort of We

29:14

know what you're going to do and we can

29:17

react to it I think that's why it's been so

29:19

nice to see ubra development as a passer which again

29:21

We should talk about the six assists. It did happen

29:23

in front of us. He did break five assists I

29:26

think six, you know, like after overtime at a job,

29:28

like you start getting paid like time

29:30

and a half I'm in half so like any assist

29:32

over five should count for a break for like two

29:34

and a half I think so that's almost as

29:36

basically and he had those six in the first half

29:38

feels pretty arbitrary That's no, I don't think so. I

29:40

think it's actually time and

29:44

it's just cool to see them like You

29:46

know, this team hasn't been together

29:49

very long and and obviously as I've

29:51

said many times They're not going to go with that so well Every

29:54

game they win is a miracle. They're stealing. They're

29:56

stealing wins all that stuff But The team like

29:58

as far as having how many guys. The played

30:00

each other for more than like half a season. It's.

30:04

Met. Is Maxine tobias? And.

30:06

Evil. Nobody. else has played.

30:09

With. Anybody else I'm team for. Any.

30:12

Stretch of time that playing right now and so

30:14

they're still figuring out and so cool to see

30:16

who they make. A bunch of really nice passes

30:18

and I owe it to assess bypass really well

30:20

at the an extra pass for Tobias three that

30:22

when and he did. He raised the three ball

30:25

hand for of assume three that ended up missing

30:27

but. He's. Now celebrating other people

30:29

three is this they tell you. Bray

30:31

assists. Ah, the the passing. Evolution.

30:35

And we are in. For. My friend Kelly.

30:37

As. I as dumb gradient a lot from cat

30:39

from maxi thou sec. As good as also. After

30:42

goober got hurt me game we were at. And.

30:45

He missed a game in Sacramento. It could have been

30:47

the like ours is gonna be the. The.

30:50

Lung the long absence that the sit the

30:52

sneaky long. I'd miss five games here with the

30:54

ever going to come back things as nice as him back. Miles.

30:58

De I. I. Was insane.

31:00

Them. And. One

31:02

more thing. How the Sacramento game

31:04

didn't happen anyway? So. Amicably

31:06

answer the yeah. I didn't want

31:09

of ah ha ha I know as as

31:11

legalize it later and I saw the loss

31:13

I so much now and I wasn't a

31:15

ton of basketball who have you as the

31:17

women's game intersect com. And I was like

31:19

do It. My. God it was

31:21

the point here. Why? Did Abbott

31:23

the Sun's can tell us I will. I

31:25

will go by. Saw the Box for the

31:27

Sunday ever have got to be like you

31:29

know at the regular season on not doing

31:32

it will never podcast it never happened in

31:34

her has as. I

31:36

write as a some he a few things that

31:38

happened before the game. One.

31:41

Some updates on injured players:

31:43

This. Thanks. To our own

31:45

Dan only know which came from Nyc

31:47

Nurse Tavis. progressing a little bit. Looks

31:49

like he could return here at some

31:51

points. Now is not as close yet

31:53

still on a pain tolerance thing. Were

31:56

hopeful that both of them will be

31:58

back before this regular season and. It

32:00

does a great for either I'm to be

32:02

quite honest with you, Covington of feels like

32:04

us. He.

32:07

It. And. Then. Ah

32:10

and then here is Nick Nurse see days

32:12

you'd play the clip. Of Nurse

32:14

on Joe and Bead. In. The

32:16

run down. It's. Highlighted sega

32:19

out my windows. I also

32:21

thought of space time with

32:23

his sometimes but I have

32:25

a valid know piece on

32:27

the caller who are scarce

32:30

know we're still on overtime.

32:40

Hours as I would I would

32:42

imagine isn't gonna details he says

32:44

so strategy them in strong confident

32:47

and save them brand of them

32:49

are was on forbes for do

32:51

you think is the likely was

32:53

that he returns for whenever you

32:55

for to say that as a

32:57

regular season a good thing for

37:06

the official auction of the process. One

37:09

final James Harden thing. Sorry.

37:12

It's nothing against CJ,

37:14

against my precious sweet CJ. Traffic

37:17

in LA being bad is a

37:19

little bit of a, it's not as

37:21

bad as people say anymore. Yes. I don't know what

37:26

it was at a certain point, but

37:28

coming from my lifestyle where I can

37:31

walk and wherever I need to go,

37:33

it was a big adjustment being, of

37:35

course, you have to drive and I'm

37:37

talking, but

37:40

as far as like, Oh, you're always sitting in

37:42

traffic, I don't compare to 10 years ago. It's

37:44

probably the case anymore. And like, there's that

37:46

in Philly too. Like Dave Rudder always

37:48

text me he's been sitting on 76 for fucking

37:50

16 straight hours. Yes. I

37:53

think that I think the thing from

37:55

my trips to LA, which have been a number

37:57

of them because my brother lives there. The

38:00

thing about LA traffic is that

38:02

when I was there, it seemed

38:04

unpredictable in that there was

38:06

more traffic incidents

38:08

at like 8.30 at night than

38:11

you would find in Philadelphia. That was my big question.

38:13

And even way later, I would be driving home, when

38:15

I worked at Hell and My Mother and I had to drive scripts around

38:17

town, there'd be a random traffic

38:20

jam at like 3 a.m. on the

38:22

floor. Yeah, that was- How is

38:24

this possible? My particular issue. But it's usually because that's when

38:26

they're doing work and stuff. But yeah, I

38:28

just say it's not as bad anymore. Last thing on

38:31

James Harden, he didn't get any

38:33

tributes. We saw somebody, somebody said in the chat, who

38:35

was it? CJ who said in the chat, I missed

38:37

it. Whoever it was, it was up on the screen.

38:40

But no PJ Tucker tribute, no James Harden tribute. But

38:42

James Harden is doing a tribute to Michael Rubin with

38:45

his new shoe mic. Please

38:47

take a look. Here it is, James Harden

38:49

new shoe. The

38:51

Harden volume eight white party is

38:54

inspired by Michael Rubens iconic

38:56

Hamptons parties. Oh my God.

39:00

There's James Harden and

39:02

Tom Brady. There's

39:04

the shoe. The

39:07

white party inspired by a party. That's

39:09

gray. That's

39:11

gray there. Inspired

39:14

by a white party. The

39:17

idea that you wanna go. That sucks. It's

39:20

just like- I just sucked. That

39:22

sucks so bad. It

39:24

sucks. It sucks. Hey Michael Rubens, this guy

39:26

has a party every year where he makes

39:29

everyone wear white. And we're gonna make it.

39:31

Other people have had. Yeah.

39:33

For years. Years. Obviously

39:36

fucking Diddy, obviously Kyle Richards, obviously so

39:39

many other people that I'm sure have

39:41

also had it. It's not, he didn't

39:43

invent the idea. Of a white

39:45

party. And you're gonna go like, I'm gonna have, make

39:47

it a shoe. I'm gonna make it a shoe. Where

39:50

the colorway is fucking white. Cause that guy is white

39:52

and he has a white party. Great. Sick

39:54

man. It's fucking, it sucks so bad. It

39:56

does. It sucks so bad. He invites

39:59

rich people, other rich. celebrities there and gets to

40:01

just like sort of mooch off

40:03

their clout. It's not so bad. And

40:05

he runs the worst company in the world. Well,

40:08

I think I'll say it. The lowest

40:10

approval company in the world. I'm

40:13

not commenting on the company. It must be.

40:15

Fucking oil companies have better goddamn approval than

40:17

Fanatics at this point. Ridiculous.

40:21

That guy blows. Blows!

40:26

Stop doing shoes after him. He doesn't need

40:29

it. Shoes after anybody else. Pick any kid

40:31

from like third grade anywhere and say, what's

40:33

your favorite color? And they'd be like, this

40:35

is the fucking Janie shoe color. It's the

40:38

Janie shoe. Cause she said it. Anything,

40:40

anything but that. What other parties

40:42

could you name shoes after? Halloween

40:44

party? Oh my God. Orange and

40:46

brown one or something. Other

40:49

parties. Brisk. It's

40:52

a brisk party. It's a little

40:54

red. The hard nine. Little red and just little yellow

40:56

and a little, little skin tone, whichever

40:59

skin tone you want. A

41:03

little red, couple of flecks of red. From

41:06

a brisk party. Cause sometimes

41:08

it bleeds. Sometimes it bleeds. The

41:11

hard things. When you cut off, when you

41:13

cut the foreskin off of Jewish

41:15

baby's penis. Sometimes

41:17

a little blood comes out. I held my nephew, my

41:19

nephew who just got bar mitzvah to Ethan. I

41:22

held him during his brisk, a little bit of

41:24

blood. Now

41:27

you're a man, Ethan. You can know that. I

41:29

held you and you bled when they

41:32

trimmed the tippy top of

41:34

your baby penis. So

41:38

that's the shoe, that's the colorway I'm going to get.

41:40

That's my pitch. Tell stateside or

41:42

not stateside. That's fine too. Tell, tell kinetic.

41:44

Yeah, I was going to say, who are

41:46

we telling? Tell kinetic to do a shoe,

41:49

a little bris, a bris colored shoe. Oh

41:52

my God. Michael Rubin, ridiculous. Word company

41:55

in the world. CJ was talking about

41:57

LA. Thanks everybody

41:59

for... fly the process. It was

42:01

awesome. We had a great time at

42:03

fly the process. Thank

42:05

you to Fanta Philly, of course. We did get

42:08

to see the five assist game in in

42:10

in person. How fucking sick is that dude?

42:12

It was incredible. And the whole... Let's not

42:14

be cynical for a second. That's... that shit

42:16

is magical. Everyone knew. Everyone

42:18

in all of our sections kept looking at me.

42:21

I was... we were counting each time. That's four.

42:23

The crowd went nuts. It was

42:25

awesome. Nuts. Thanks to

42:27

Amos, Matt Quinn, Marion Hill, and Matt Quinn

42:29

of Mount Joyda for stopping by as well.

42:31

Thank you to everyone who went. It was

42:33

a really great time. Thanks to Darryl and

42:35

Kate and Lauren. Yeah, Kate Scott, Lauren Rosen

42:38

who stopped by the the

42:40

mic bar on Saturday. And yeah, shout out Rocco's which

42:42

is a great time. Darryl Morey did come and watched

42:44

some games with us. If you came to that, Kate

42:46

Scott, who was wearing, of course, the only shirt that

42:48

she wears around Ricky people, which is the Say

42:50

the Name shirt. And Lauren Rosen who was great.

42:52

They're both... all of them were great. It was

42:54

very cool of them to stop by. And

42:57

Kate was really walking around hugging, hugging,

42:59

kissing babies, taking names, all of a

43:01

sudden. She's good at that. Playing the

43:03

crowd. And Darryl, I give credit to,

43:05

Darryl lets all of our people just

43:07

be like, yeah, so why the fuck

43:09

should you do this? Immediately. Immediately in

43:11

Isaiah Joe. Accusation. Immediately.

43:14

And Darryl and Lauren kept turning around and

43:16

was like, Darryl, like, take it down. And

43:20

Darryl was like, no, I'll tell you why I had to

43:22

cut him. It was very fun. And

43:24

then, so thanks to my

43:27

good friend, Domen, who sent me the

43:29

recording of the Clippers broadcast. So

43:31

we went through just to hear if you

43:33

could hear us. So which one

43:35

do you have up here first, CJ? First

43:37

one is B-Ball Paul. Oh, yeah,

43:40

this. And so here we go. A B-Ball Paul chant.

43:42

This is what it sounds like on TV. It's

43:51

pretty fucking loud. It was like pretty

43:54

fucking loud. It sounded like a college

43:56

basketball game. And then here is something

43:58

about from the fact that it's always

44:00

so high up with the

44:02

Minnesota side of the process also when you're so

44:04

high up doing those kinds of unexpected

44:07

chance where everyone's turning around kind of like

44:09

confused looking up. Yeah. Something

44:11

really nice about it. And then I think my

44:14

favorite chin of all time, red blend. Here

44:16

we go. I

44:36

would have loved one and

44:39

he didn't harden to play this straight. I would

44:41

have loved one look of recognition. Yes. Just

44:43

one little like maybe a toast. Just

44:45

a little something. I would have

44:47

really liked that. And then associated

44:50

to fly the process. Crazy win by

44:52

the way. Crazy that they won. Incredible

44:54

win. Crazy that it was that B-ball Paul

44:56

made that pass and transitioned into bias. Yep.

44:58

Crazy that we had the 6th assist game. And

45:02

then. That was just a great, it was

45:04

a really wonderful, we're, that was I think

45:06

the second win to fly the process ever. Third. We

45:09

are now 3 and 4. Not bad. Feels

45:11

worse. Yeah, it does feel worse.

45:13

It does feel worse. On Minnesota, San Antonio and

45:15

now this one. And then lost. I'm

45:18

2 and 0 on fly the process. Wow. Yeah, because you

45:20

went to Minnesota. Yeah. Brooklyn,

45:22

Washington, Milwaukee. Indiana. Indiana

45:25

are the losses. And

45:28

then associated with fly the process and then

45:30

we'll wrap this up is we have three

45:32

bannings. I am announcing bannings. Of course we

45:35

let each other ban though. I suppose you

45:37

could object. First of all. No, I don't

45:39

object. This is fun. Okay. First

45:42

we ban the associated press. All of

45:44

them. Here's the writing from the Associated Press

45:46

article game story. Harden had 12 points and

45:48

14 assists in his first game against the

45:50

76ers since he forced his way out of

45:53

Philadelphia last November after going 0 for

45:55

6 on three pointers to jeers from

45:57

a quote small but vocal cheering section.

46:00

of Sixers fans in Los Angeles.

46:02

First of all. Small but vocal is like four

46:05

drunk guys. Yeah, it was not a small group.

46:07

It was over four sections. It was over 300

46:09

people. It wasn't

46:11

small. Let me ask

46:13

you this, Associated Press. How

46:15

many times do you go to NBA

46:17

games that you see that many opposing

46:19

fans in one spot? Do

46:22

you know what I mean? Like if you

46:24

go to a Sixers Celtics game, of course

46:26

there will be a lot of Celtics fans

46:28

there, but never concentrated like that. You didn't

46:30

say the name. The Associated Press is banned.

46:32

Banned. Joe Varden of the Athletic.

46:35

Wow. Varden, who scored 12 points with 14

46:37

assists in the Lopsided loss to

46:39

the Sixers, dressed and left the locker room

46:41

so fast on Sunday that coach Tyrone Liu

46:44

hadn't even addressed the media yet. Hardin's skirting

46:46

of post-game media duties is a violation of

46:48

league policy. He will have

46:50

more questions and way more booze and

46:53

jeers than he heard Sunday from

46:55

the smattering of Sixers fans who

46:57

spent the weekend in LA. Smattering.

47:01

And he knows, we know he's talking about us

47:03

because it says spent the weekend in LA. That's

47:05

obviously us. Smattering.

47:08

Smattering. Vocal. And

47:10

finally, we have to

47:13

ban the Inquirers Gina Meisel.

47:16

Sorry Gina, I've never met you

47:18

before, but you are banned. Four

47:20

days later, some befuddled Sixers teammates

47:22

on the bench looked up into

47:24

the crypto.com arena stands. A

47:26

large group of fans near the top

47:28

of the first concourse were chanting, B-Ball

47:31

Paul. Three

47:33

very real Sixers fans gathered.

47:35

Yep. Situations. Yep.

47:39

And it's just like, it's just like bad journalists. Yes.

47:42

To not say what happened. We're

47:44

part of the story in this one.

47:46

I'm sorry, we are. If you're gonna mention

47:49

the fans, you gotta mention who brought

47:51

them there. It feels interesting that 11 years in, and

47:54

we've sort of gone away, at least I have gone away

47:56

from too much say the name stuff, but this is a

47:58

real. They are

48:00

trying not to say the name. Yeah. 11

48:05

years into the podcast. Yep.

48:07

After we have rung the bell.

48:10

Look, there was only one Sixers

48:12

podcast trip to Los Angeles. There

48:14

was. I can tell there was supposed to be

48:17

two and ended up being one. And

48:20

it's just very bizarre to not be like, and here's the

48:22

name of it. Here's the name of the people that did

48:24

it. It just feels very bizarre. Like

48:26

a guard scored. And

48:29

then a full word would rebound and

48:31

a couple Sixers were

48:34

on the bench. Like, what's

48:36

going on? Bizarre.

48:38

So I approve. I approve your banning.

48:42

CJ puts in the notes before

48:44

we get to before we

48:46

get to our next section. James

48:48

Harden says he doesn't know it. Does

48:50

he is this the actual video here?

48:53

CJ and the John Clark tweet. No, it's

48:55

just a photo with the. Okay. Harden says

48:58

he doesn't know why Sixers fans were booing

49:00

him. He says he believes the

49:02

fans don't even know why they were booing him.

49:05

I asked him if he will ever patch things

49:07

up with Daryl Morey and he said no. Who

49:09

is I? CJ. Whose

49:11

quote is that? John Clark. Oh,

49:13

John Clark. Okay. Yeah.

49:16

That's funny. He doesn't know why they were

49:18

booing him. They don't even know

49:20

why. They don't even know why. Who

49:22

could know who could say. Yeah. They

49:24

don't have any idea. All

49:26

right. So all y'all are banned. So there

49:29

you go. The rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast

49:31

is brought to you by Big Barker therapeutic

49:33

dog beds. You might

49:35

remember Nick from Atlanta whose house I did,

49:38

whose brother's house I did a podcast at

49:40

when I was in Atlanta for the opener.

49:43

Nick from Atlanta has purchased a

49:45

big Barker for his two dogs

49:47

right there on the screen. There

49:50

you go. Marlo and Tika. Very

49:52

nice. Very beautiful dogs. Two pitties.

49:55

It looks like love pit bulls. And of course, Rebel

49:57

sleeps on Big Barker. And

49:59

his. He's 10 years old, just had

50:01

a checkup, joints in great shape. Of

50:04

course, our foster, Banshee, also sleeping on

50:06

our extra big barker. She loves it

50:08

as well, though she does love sneaking

50:10

in the bed after she has to

50:12

pee at around two in the morning. But she's a dog, gotta

50:14

let her do it. You love your

50:16

dog, your job as a dog owner is

50:18

to give your dog the best life possible.

50:21

Their lives are not long. Their

50:23

lives have to be awesome. So you

50:25

have to take them for lots of walks. You

50:27

have to scratch their ears, scratch

50:30

their belly when you want them to, and

50:32

you gotta keep them healthy. And one of

50:34

the ways you keep them healthy is to

50:36

get them a big barker therapeutic dog bed.

50:38

Go to bigbarker.com/Ricky, that is bigbarker.com/Ricky. You get

50:40

the big barker dog bed with the process

50:42

put patches. And here's

50:45

the best part, your dog stays healthier.

50:47

Big barker is the only dog bed

50:49

engineered by experts to keep to support

50:51

your dog's joints. The other ones,

50:53

don't do the job, this one does. Improving

50:56

by Penn Vet, did a study, improvement

50:58

in joint function, reduction in pain severity,

51:00

reduction in joint stiffness. How about this?

51:02

They look fucking great too. Come

51:05

in all different sizes, all different

51:07

colors, with the headrest, without a

51:09

headrest. Maybe the couch style one.

51:11

Go to bigbarker.com/Ricky. Excuse

51:13

me. It's got a 10 year warranty, the

51:15

51:18

51:20

51:22

give you a refund and will even pay for

51:24

the shipping. It's handmade in the USA, big barker

51:26

dog beds. Woof. So

51:28

there was another J.J.

51:31

Redick and LeBron James podcast. Before

51:34

we get into a couple of clips, I wanted to play you.

51:37

I wanted to read you this email from Andrew

51:39

and see what you thought. The subject line is

51:41

Spike Must Face the Truth. Dear

51:44

Spike, Mike and CJ. My wife and I are

51:46

huge fans of the pod. I've been

51:48

a listener since the beginning, so I

51:50

feel entitled, excuse me, to the take

51:52

I'm about to give. I think Spike

51:55

hates J.J. so much because they are

51:57

incredibly similar. Both

52:00

are very particular, articulate, manage their

52:02

own podcasts with their loyal sidekicks.

52:05

Enjoy having conversations with men in the bathroom,

52:07

have full arm sleeves, are adamant about their

52:10

takes even when they know they're wrong. Sidekick!

52:13

Yeah, I know. I knew you were going

52:15

to like that part. I say all

52:17

of this not to shame you, but because I'm a huge fan

52:19

and I think it's time for you to face the truth. What

52:22

do you think? Do you think that's why I hate you, Jay Redick? No,

52:26

I don't. Thank you. It isn't. I

52:29

appreciate you doing that. You're not my sidekick. I never thought you

52:31

were. So... Wait, wait,

52:33

fuck me saying no, I don't. It's this

52:35

real sidekick move. Goddamn it. Set up. I

52:38

was totally set up. So before we get into

52:40

a couple of different... Oh,

52:42

wow. From Keith Pompeii, in postgame video

52:45

review, the officials determined that a foul should have

52:47

been called on Paul George in the closing second.

52:49

Yeah, I mean, it's just insane. You're a bitch,

52:51

you're a bitch, you're a bitch, your mom's a

52:53

bitch, your dad's a bitch, your dad's a bitch,

52:56

your grandmother's a bitch. That is the game. And

52:58

to not be able to review that in

53:00

the final moment of the game,

53:03

because it's like, well, a whistle

53:06

wasn't blown. It's like, well, a big fucking horn was.

53:08

Yeah. Did you guys hear that big loud

53:10

horn? The game's over if you just walk away. Or you

53:12

can say, like, hey, actually, let me

53:15

check. Oh, yeah, there's a foul. That's

53:18

just insane that you're like, oh, my hands are tied. The

53:21

fucking cops are so stupid.

53:24

Fucking dumbass. Yeah.

53:30

Bad. So before

53:32

I play a couple of clips here, I want

53:35

you to watch the trailer that was on

53:38

Twitter for Mind

53:40

the Game, Episode 2. You're

53:42

84 too? I'm 84, yes. Yeah,

53:45

we got bad pictures for this. Oh, this is one of the

53:47

worst. Oh, thank you. Have you spent any

53:49

time with Mark D'Aneault, by the way? The

53:51

mom, probably. He's ridiculous. Oh,

53:54

look at That

53:56

white. And

54:01

a bottle three and with only one

54:03

where there is young to be on

54:05

the move. Beyond that he was at

54:07

the knees and eighty five so it

54:09

should have donated Someone younger know Smith

54:11

said I death So worried Ross slam

54:14

oh you're on role. As

54:21

it is, Sexy is so yeah. Workers: they

54:23

they had sex at the end of it.

54:25

You haven't listened the whole thing. leader. And

54:28

always for such as indices only gonna remove

54:30

a for businesses is like I have it

54:32

and they both want to go lights on

54:34

or won't even be known as Basil Players.

54:37

I will be known as mine Mine mine

54:39

I guess. I

54:42

went with the People's the when They Think

54:44

About Me Lebron James. I. Want them

54:46

to think what? Did.

54:49

You read next month. See

54:52

guys know what they're talking about. Why? Why? That's

54:54

so cool? I don't understand it. It's such a

54:56

rich guy thing. I don't understand it. I don't

54:58

understand it. So this episode was the

55:00

hardest action. a garden basketball I think So this

55:03

one this and I'm going like you know, like

55:05

with while I see. So here's the thing. It's

55:08

so boring to the first fifteen

55:10

minutes. I don't know who this

55:12

podcast is for because me nervous

55:14

the first fifteen minutes is Jj

55:16

Redick alone. Explaining very

55:18

basic past couple things like your

55:21

moron. And then it's him

55:23

and Le Bron James. Incessantly.

55:26

Breaking down plays so they can seem like

55:28

they really know ball. A do know ball

55:30

Lead? you know ball. but it's not. Entertaining.

55:34

There's nothing entertaining about you. if you

55:36

were so entertained by it you would

55:38

have watched one of the to have

55:40

him that much or hostess at a

55:42

fair point. I'll get or I saw

55:44

a couple of things First, I

55:47

answer. Here is years as

55:49

a good quote from Le Bron. Are.

55:53

You able to to do that on a nightly

55:56

basis? fell? By. Take that

55:58

the bad matchup. As

56:01

a lot better in this as to

56:03

go off and thirty nine was when.

56:06

I think our souls added other have

56:08

like seventy thousand minutes. Also

56:10

swam into my wife to do see. I mean.

56:13

How my feeling. Like a

56:15

Moment or Daves. Survey.

56:20

Says imagine spying a two

56:22

thousand and three. Escalate.

56:26

Since. Two thousand twenty

56:28

four. and he never changed the

56:30

tires. It's. Syrup

56:33

or is. An

56:38

average size is ours is a the

56:40

same powers since involuntary. Night.

56:47

Or in yes as that is very

56:50

Yazidis serve as by Americans have enough

56:52

glades. Families are appropriate guard for the

56:54

brawn James It's funny when data says

56:56

the bronze layer it's but it is

56:58

arguable. Run like that is. It's

57:01

as a casual to say that while abroad as a hard.

57:06

It's such a doc rivers close yet

57:08

as assess as. An

57:11

unnecessary metaphor, by the way, I met

57:13

already has an unnecessary metaphor. So the

57:15

guy does the lights. On

57:19

dae dae le Bron Doc. They just

57:21

love it. Unnecessary metaphor. Stone is

57:23

so this isn't I. Am I to

57:26

tell that. You're. Tired

57:28

and yes his sir seems like a

57:30

lot of rest of Europe as they

57:32

like but another example of something that

57:34

would be tires yet as not forty

57:36

he's been playing basketball for twenty years.

57:39

They've. How you feeling? I'm tired. seven

57:41

thousand and s. Tests

57:44

to this is I see my favorite quote of

57:46

the last two now and again I do. I

57:48

would say you don't like either of them. Really,

57:50

I do like them both. I

57:52

like them both and Sarah Geico on front of them in a right

57:54

way. I feel like I like them both. And. And

57:57

and I'm holding them to account. yes

58:00

But I probably, you're probably right, I'm not gonna

58:02

listen. But I could, and I would enjoy

58:04

it, some of it. Yeah. So

58:07

this is my- Hard to add to a podcast rotation.

58:09

And it's hard to cut from a podcast rotation. Half

58:11

the fucking listeners of us are probably like, I'm in

58:13

too deep with these guys. Yes, I can't stop now.

58:16

It can't stop now. I need to find out what

58:18

happens at the end. We're like the lost of podcasts.

58:20

Yes, that's it. I love this-

58:22

Rachel, shout out Tanner. I love

58:24

this quote from LeBron. Now, we mentioned

58:26

when we talked about the last one,

58:29

LeBron, as everyone knows, famous liar, lies

58:32

about a lot of things. I did send you

58:34

the clips of him lying about reading the Malcolm

58:36

X book and watching the Godfather. Two of my

58:38

favorites. My favorite about this thing is

58:40

that he catches himself lying because he's

58:43

obviously aware that everyone who's

58:45

caught onto him lying. So please,

58:47

please enjoy this. It's one of my

58:49

favorites. Just like they are, let's go

58:52

winning for us. You know, and

58:54

I wanna see like this. I play a lot of

58:56

chess. Not in real life. I

58:59

actually know a lot of people have told me you

59:01

should look, you should play chess because you'll be grabbed.

59:03

Never played chess, but in my mind, in theory, I

59:07

feel like I play chess on the floor. Yeah.

59:09

Ha ha ha ha ha. That's

59:11

definitely what happened. He said, I play a

59:13

lot of chess and he got nervous that

59:16

JJ was about to call him on

59:18

it and ask him something about chess

59:20

and he would have been fucked. What's

59:23

your favorite chess move? All of them. Ha

59:26

ha ha ha. That's really funny. That's

59:29

great. He did catch himself. And good

59:31

for him catching himself. Yes. But he was

59:34

going to lie. For sure. I

59:38

play a lot of chess. Actually. I

59:41

don't play any. I never played any chess. Never heard of it.

59:43

Yeah. What's chess? Why would

59:45

you bring up chess? And

59:47

then this, this is just a call we got to

59:49

833LickFace. The

59:52

call itself is very funny to me about this.

59:56

Hey Spike, Mike, Darryl, maybe if

59:58

he's around CJ, Howdy.. I

1:00:00

was stolen my girlfriend. The very

1:00:03

funny humorous part about you guys

1:00:05

roasting the Le Bron Jj redick

1:00:08

as guests. but I have to

1:00:10

com defend Le Bron. Wonder why.

1:00:13

The. Whole thing about the history. Jj.

1:00:15

Redick did ask him outside of

1:00:17

talent, skill set in size what

1:00:19

makes a good basketball player said

1:00:21

I did not catch their I

1:00:23

only caught it on second watch

1:00:25

thanks to my girlfriend. at least

1:00:27

now. The size of the

1:00:29

soon too long, the message and. Internet

1:00:32

episode think you know some spot

1:00:35

but. Bowser, I didn't hear

1:00:37

the do with her. And

1:00:39

then last layer, I like a girlfriend

1:00:41

in the background. Yes, want money? Speaking

1:00:43

of girlfriends, there's a a wife mention

1:00:45

in the email about me being compared

1:00:47

to Jj. He gives us a jigsaw.

1:00:50

Which. I'll give you right after this

1:00:52

but he signs it's thanks for keeping

1:00:54

our lives in sustain. Ps. I am

1:00:56

touched his defense. my wife's to have

1:00:59

sex while listening to the pod. Know.

1:01:06

Him as in a less sexy think. The

1:01:08

I mean it sounds horrible as a little baby,

1:01:10

Le Bron and Jaded Five would be a great

1:01:13

part of sex or yes for their haven't says

1:01:15

like poor of insects. Very smooth

1:01:17

so wonder if data is if

1:01:19

harden is going to. Call.

1:01:21

The Michael Rubin choose a literal sue.

1:01:25

Of. My life. Is

1:01:28

a literal see a letter Sue. So.

1:01:32

We got this. Email.

1:01:35

From Mass and. Man.

1:01:37

is it didn't hit real hard because

1:01:39

i hadn't thought of it and i

1:01:42

wonder if he thought of tests hello

1:01:44

spiked my cj and darryl after yesterday's

1:01:46

clippers game it was reported it seems

1:01:48

hard unless the law firm early before

1:01:50

tyler even got that slippers have been

1:01:52

made for the past month or so

1:01:54

i'm almost certain mealy mouthed the playoffs

1:01:56

this year during the game yesterday harden

1:01:58

nasty look like best Maxi has

1:02:00

called Hardin a great mentor and Hardin also seemed

1:02:02

to love our young prince. Yeah, I love each

1:02:04

other. And by all accounts, it seems like Hardin

1:02:06

and Joao got along well during their time here.

1:02:09

Yes. With all this said, are

1:02:12

both of you mentally prepared for Hardin to return

1:02:14

to the Sixers after we strike out on others

1:02:16

in free agency? We know Darryl

1:02:18

never wanted him to leave and it was Hardin

1:02:20

who forced his hand. So if he comes back

1:02:22

to Darryl and says all is forgiven, do we

1:02:25

believe he has the willpower to say no? This

1:02:27

would obviously be a disaster outcome for the Sixers, but

1:02:29

it would be funny to see Spike's mental

1:02:31

breakdown on the pod when the news hit.

1:02:35

I don't think that's gonna, I do think that Hardin is gonna hold the

1:02:37

scratch for a really, really long time. You

1:02:40

do? Yeah. What if nobody offers him money?

1:02:42

I think the Sixers will. I think the Clippers

1:02:44

will. Really? I think the Clippers are more likely

1:02:46

to offer Hardin money than Paul George. That

1:02:49

seems crazy. He looks pretty washed, man. Who?

1:02:53

Hardin. Paul George doesn't look great. Yeah. Dan

1:02:55

Hollinger made that point. He's been pretty bad for

1:02:57

a few months. I didn't think he was great tonight. Eventually a

1:02:59

few threes fell and he ended up going

1:03:02

five of eight from deep, but he

1:03:04

was two of 10 on twos. Defense

1:03:07

looks a little bit slipping. Against boss by Mo

1:03:09

Bombon and dunk attempt. I do think he's,

1:03:11

you know, he's getting old. He's getting older, 34, which is

1:03:14

also my age and I feel great.

1:03:19

But I do think even if Paul...

1:03:21

Which year is she gonna be called? Let

1:03:24

me think about it. Okay. So the Brits shoe?

1:03:27

Yeah. Well, hardin's already doing the Brits shoe.

1:03:29

Are you gonna do it? Yeah. That's

1:03:31

what I was saying. Hard the hard nine Brits. The

1:03:34

Mike one Shiva. The

1:03:36

Shiva's. That'd be good. That'd

1:03:38

be on theme. All black everything with

1:03:40

a bagel on the side. Just

1:03:43

locks all over it. I

1:03:48

do think that even if Paul plays at this level, the

1:03:50

rest of the season, I do think Dal would say like,

1:03:53

come, come to me for

1:03:55

your max. All of it. Non

1:03:58

basketball question. What is the worst movie theater? experience

1:04:00

you've ever had. I saw Dune 2 recently and

1:04:02

a couple in front of me brought a one-year-old

1:04:04

to it. That went about as poorly as you

1:04:06

would expect with the baby crying and them getting

1:04:08

up to calm him in the hallway every few

1:04:10

minutes. Thankfully they left after a half hour. That

1:04:13

stuff, you've had a lot of bad movie scene

1:04:15

experiences with people texting or talking too much. I

1:04:17

really haven't. I got cheated on at the movies

1:04:19

in eighth grade so that's all for me. Yes.

1:04:21

Which I told on the podcast. Yes, an incredible

1:04:23

story. I think people

1:04:25

in Los Angeles from my memory are more

1:04:28

respectful in movie theaters than they are in

1:04:30

my area. Yeah, for sure. So and

1:04:33

that we have there's one Alamo Draft House

1:04:36

like in Manhattan but it's annoying to get to whatever.

1:04:38

I wish there was one in Philly. I wish there

1:04:40

was one in the Jersey suburbs. There is not. I

1:04:43

hate texting so it drives me crazy. I

1:04:45

think the worst experience was I was in

1:04:47

college and there were two guys in there

1:04:49

who brought bottles of liquor and were smoking

1:04:51

in the theater. It was

1:04:53

the first time that I had ever seen that.

1:04:56

At least they were going like full-on I felt

1:04:58

like. Alyssa one time brought, they needed that. You

1:05:00

know they were really hungry before the theater. So

1:05:02

the WGA has a theater and I think at

1:05:05

this time they didn't have, we

1:05:07

were too late for the snacks beforehand or

1:05:09

something so there was nothing there. Okay. And

1:05:11

Alyssa was, it was me Alyssa and her

1:05:13

mom. We brought her mom as a guest to

1:05:16

see a Coen Brothers movie and

1:05:19

they just like ran across the street and

1:05:22

were like the first thing they saw was like a

1:05:27

bag of deli ham. And so

1:05:29

she just brought, just a raw,

1:05:31

not raw but like uncooked you

1:05:34

know deli ham into the

1:05:36

Writers Guild theater and it just really smelled

1:05:38

very very bad. I'm

1:05:40

sure that was somebody else's worst theater experience but you

1:05:42

need some food. You gotta get it. Sometimes you need

1:05:44

it. Can't sit there all Coen Brothers movies

1:05:47

fucking hungry. No raw onions I hope

1:05:49

right? Just the ham. Just ham. Straight up

1:05:51

ham. And this from 833LickFace

1:05:54

for you Mike. Specifically.

1:05:57

Mike this is a question for you.

1:06:00

please describe

1:06:03

why Mr. Ed of

1:06:05

Purdue will not translate

1:06:07

to the NBA and

1:06:09

why he won't win the tournament. Love

1:06:11

the guy seems like a great dude

1:06:14

I think I don't know maybe there's

1:06:16

controversy I don't know about it but

1:06:18

yeah he's a bum. Anyway non-basketball question

1:06:21

best fruit apples to me are

1:06:23

just by far the best but

1:06:25

you know whatever right. I

1:06:29

like Zach Edie fun guy to

1:06:31

watch at the college level 7 foot 5

1:06:34

I think big mess for five big man

1:06:37

out of Purdue has really really nice touch

1:06:39

I think he shoots in the

1:06:41

let's see what's he shoot from the line he shoots

1:06:43

like 80% from the line and

1:06:47

yeah 7-4 he's Canadian he shoots

1:06:49

71% from the line this year 73%

1:06:53

last year gets the line a ton they're physical

1:06:55

as hell with him and he

1:06:57

gets the line 11 times a game

1:06:59

and cut which in college is insane

1:07:01

he's pretty good shot blocker at the

1:07:04

rim he's just not mobile

1:07:07

so I think he's going to struggle

1:07:10

defending in space but his

1:07:12

he is so good at the things he's so good

1:07:14

at that you would you

1:07:17

could conceivably see him being like a

1:07:19

maybe like Boban but if Boban could

1:07:21

play a little bit better over a

1:07:23

rim protector that's the weird thing about Boban

1:07:25

is he's not he's not good

1:07:27

blocking shots I don't think he's gonna be he's not gonna be women yama

1:07:30

or anything he's not gonna be a great

1:07:32

great rim protector but good

1:07:34

enough to beat to make it as like a

1:07:36

you know

1:07:38

curveball backup five kind of thing I think maybe in

1:07:40

a certain situation he could play a little bit more

1:07:42

but it's just it's just hard to be in today's

1:07:45

NBA and not be able to guard on the perimeter unless

1:07:48

you find a coach that's willing to go like alright

1:07:50

we play a 2-3 zone and

1:07:52

you're just back there all the time which

1:07:55

I think is hard to play all the time but

1:07:57

I think I'm excited to see cuz he

1:07:59

is he is very and it was really, really nice touching

1:08:01

the offensive end and his, you know, advanced

1:08:03

stats are crazy on the offensive end. I've

1:08:07

never seen him. The two, three zone thing

1:08:09

always was a Syracuse thing to me. It

1:08:12

was always like a Beyhind thing. You know,

1:08:14

can't trust any- But he never had, he

1:08:16

didn't have like, such a huge guy back there. He usually

1:08:18

had like Jeremy Grant type athletes to like block you from

1:08:20

the weak side to come back.

1:08:23

Cause once you get on that low baseline, you need that guy to

1:08:25

come back and block that shot. The way the team can always do

1:08:27

that. And I think Purdue definitely has a

1:08:29

chance to determine it. They, you know, they

1:08:31

were unathletic. They got the last year, that's why they lost it as

1:08:33

a 16 seed. And

1:08:35

they got Lance Jones and they

1:08:37

got the power forward

1:08:39

Trey Kaufman, I think his name is. And

1:08:41

Mason Gillis was more athletic. Like they have a couple

1:08:43

of those guys and, but if they hit shots, they'll

1:08:45

have a shot. But I still think that

1:08:47

if they could find a team that runs them up and down

1:08:50

the court and just as athletes, I do think that they, there's

1:08:52

a chance that they struggle again. But sweet

1:08:54

16 baby, we're here. Sweet 16, you enjoying

1:08:56

the tournament so far? I'm loving it, dude.

1:08:58

I felt like the men's tournament kicks ass,

1:09:00

the women's tournament kicks ass, the Stanford.

1:09:04

Why am I forgetting who Stanford just beat? Iowa

1:09:08

State, the Stanford Iowa State women's game was

1:09:10

amazing, incredible game. It's

1:09:13

just been a great tournament across the board. We

1:09:15

went to USC, Kansas, women's, was

1:09:17

it last night? Two nights ago? At

1:09:20

USC? Yeah, and we had great

1:09:22

seats, it was only 30 bucks. That

1:09:24

was awesome. I had a blast. I love the tournament,

1:09:26

man. I love, oh, I sat in front of Rodney Pete. I

1:09:29

didn't realize until right after. Wow. I was

1:09:31

like, that's Rodney Pete. Wow.

1:09:33

And Holly Robinson Pete sitting right by. Wow. As

1:09:37

we were walking out, it was a really fun game. Juju walked

1:09:39

in. Rodney Pete won that one playoff game. Yeah,

1:09:42

yeah. I fell asleep during it. I woke up, I

1:09:44

saw the score. I was like, what the fuck is

1:09:46

going on here? That's good. I remember about that. I

1:09:48

am loving the tournament. Best fruit. I

1:09:53

like good answers. I like a mango. Oh,

1:09:56

wow. I like a good

1:09:58

peach. And

1:10:01

when I went to Hawaii a few

1:10:03

months ago, I had

1:10:06

just a tremendous kiwi. And

1:10:10

I think in the right place, in the right mindset,

1:10:14

kiwi's very good. So I eat

1:10:16

an apple every single day. I love apples. What

1:10:18

kind? I'm a

1:10:20

green apple guy. Now

1:10:22

sometimes after about- You used to be in real elementary school days for me.

1:10:25

I like sour stuff. Now

1:10:27

sometimes I'll get sick of

1:10:29

the green apple and I'll

1:10:31

go to a honey crisp for a week or two.

1:10:35

But I think the best tasting fruit is

1:10:38

a strawberry. I

1:10:40

love a great strawberry. Any

1:10:42

of those little finger fruits, little

1:10:44

two berries, it's

1:10:47

not enough to really, they don't almost

1:10:49

count. Put them on a waffle or

1:10:51

a pancake then we can talk. But if

1:10:53

you have to have 18 of them to really feel something.

1:10:55

Yeah. I need more. We

1:10:59

will talk to you Saturday morning. We've

1:11:01

been talking about- Just

1:11:03

a little bit. Honestly. Every time I

1:11:05

went to the bathroom, I went either

1:11:07

at Rocco's or at the

1:11:09

Clippers game or at the bar beforehand, I

1:11:12

was like, I'm not peeing in the

1:11:14

urinal. I'm

1:11:17

not having anybody- Oh you didn't want to have to talk

1:11:19

to a Ricky guy? I did it once at the Clippers.

1:11:21

Was it a Clippers game? And so

1:11:24

I'm peeing, I'm just like focusing on myself, and

1:11:26

all of a sudden the guy next to me goes, how you

1:11:29

doing? And I was like, oh no. And

1:11:31

I turned and it was my brother. So

1:11:33

I was like, oh fuck, oh shit, okay,

1:11:35

here it is. Let's

1:11:37

just do it. Let's just fucking swords. Let's just

1:11:39

do it. Oh

1:11:41

luckily it didn't happen. By the way, I

1:11:44

fucking love everybody. That

1:11:46

was great, everybody's so nice. Yeah. My

1:11:48

parents had a great time. My nephew had a great

1:11:50

time. Joe

1:11:53

from Fans of Philly always says, I think

1:11:55

he likes our trips because our people are

1:11:57

so polite generally. Oh and thanks to- the

1:12:01

audio graph, the audio graph beer company in

1:12:03

LA too for hosting us. I didn't realize

1:12:05

that that was a Ricky

1:12:08

listener that reached out, it wasn't just a backup plan,

1:12:10

that's cool. Yeah, it was a Ricky listener, hit us

1:12:12

up on the Ricky Reddit, it was great, it was

1:12:14

truly great. And it

1:12:16

was so cool to see so many people who live

1:12:18

in California who listened to the pod and

1:12:21

got to do it, yeah, it was really cool. Ton

1:12:23

of people. I will say at Tom's before the game,

1:12:27

you guys had the DJ

1:12:29

and I went, and the audio

1:12:31

wasn't playing at the end of the market game. And I went to Joe, I

1:12:33

was like, can we turn the audio of the game on? He's like, well, we

1:12:35

paid the DJ and I was like, okay.

1:12:43

I just like, at that moment I was like, I'm gonna

1:12:45

suck it up. Yeah. And I sucked it

1:12:47

up. You did. DJ

1:13:05

home arena. Red Cross the street, yeah.

1:13:07

Red Cross the street. And the

1:13:09

Clippers fans were not allowed in because there was

1:13:12

a private party on the team. That

1:13:14

was funny. It was great, we got a

1:13:16

picture really with the Kobe

1:13:18

statue, but we got it on the side, so it was really

1:13:20

Kobe's hip. Yeah. In honor of your

1:13:23

hip surgery. Yes, and we did Amos
