Weekend but we had a whole bunch of wedgies too so let’s show them to you started on Friday night Devon Melle with a little chase down block wedgie number 40 on the season there in LA nice camera work then we had Kyrie Irving on Sunday sticking the threo wedgie woo phantom
Cam yeah nice little replay it’s all we selected for that one and then and then later on sunday Aaron Gordon with the another block wedgie on Draymond Green right at The Rim there so that’s 40 41 and 42 and look at that number we are on Pace for 62 I’ve never
Seen a number that high on wedy tracker.com on the pace that would definitely be the highest we’ve ever had in the modern wedgie era since we started tracking them 58 was the highest in two of the last three season this is a pace of 20 or 21 games where we get
One every 20 or 21 games it’s very fast I know that’s a big that’s a big math geek thing but uh that’s very very fast that’s like one a weekend you know well TK pointed out we started slow this year too we went like weeks without one and
Now they’re just coming Fast and Furious yeah maybe the first two weeks of the Season we didn’t have any and how many did you say we had during February uh 13 I believe that’s crazy we took a week off because of the All-Star break right and it’s the shortest month of the year
Oh it’s like they go had next though yeah yeah they’re just missing shots cuz they had time off I guess maybe maybe maybe they’re they’re slumping but I I almost didn’t want that Draymond one cuz we heard the word wedgie on every other broadcast I just wanted to brag we
Started that thing shout out to Ralph Lawler he’s the one who carried it through Clippers broadcast back in the day but we made it happen now they’re going to have we’re going to have a record high 58 again to the last record well gosh oh gosh sure feels that way uh
Well wedgies are hot right now so much so that the onion is ready articles about wedgies Victor web yama’s head lodged between rim and backboard again and a great Photoshop from the onion this was making the rounds on Twitter over the weekend everybody tagging us
Should we count it I say count it wasn’t there a story like from Victor’s uh amateur days like he kicked a wedgie out of the rim at some point was that him I think it was um he needs to do it we need to see him do it we need a wedgie
In a Spurs game and make wemy get it out in a crazy way okay well what a weekend for wedgies let’s get into the actual basketball we’ll start with our winners do losers later Tas get a started who’s your big winner I’m going to start with the Milwaukee Bucks because I think this
Team in the Eastern Conference is the best Challenger for the Celtics in the postseason we’ll get to that a little bit later on but I’m buying the juice here in fact during the broadcast during the Bucks games this weekend Bobby Porter said we’re back to play in Bucks
Basketball and and then yianis after the weekend he wasn’t asked about it he just said the same thing we’re back to playing Bucks basketball on Friday they went into Minnesota into Minnesota great team in the Western Conference and had a great night it started at halftime actually they didn’t like their first
Half Doc Rivers went into the locker room pointed at the stat sheet and said we’ve got to share the ball more Malik Beasley has zero shots and in the third quarter he shot a lot they started sharing it Malik Beasley had four threes in that third quarter they went on a
Great run 234 run but really it’s the defense cuz that’s why they fired Adrian Griffin they wanted their defense to turn around that third quarter they were awesome 3613 in that third quarter 30 13 points to the Wolves that’s an accomplishment they forced six turnovers from Minnesota in that quarter they only
Had six makes on 23 field goal attempts that’s all they did in that third quarter they didn’t do anything at the free throw line this defense this is why it’s starting to feel good for the bucks the seventh best defense since they fired Adrien Griffin 11.8 defensive rating that’s
Pretty freaking good it’s starting to feel a lot better to go with their offense because in the fourth quarter in that game it was just Dame or Janis and as doc said according to Dame after the game he said Doc Rivers told us you and Yiannis y’all played together at the top
That’s what they did especially with Chris midleton out yianis shot 10 free throws in the fourth quarter no field goals got to 33 points and I just love the Dame play with 10 seconds left to really seal it Jay Crowder’s teammate was supposed to come set the pick but
Kyle Anderson was guarding him he didn’t want Kyle Anderson to guard him after the pick so he said n no not you bees get over here he had cat on him so he went right by cat into the mid-range hit that shot the Bucks won a game where
Dame shot eight of 23 not all that good they won a game where Jay Crowder had two points n all that good they won a game where Carl Anthony towns and Rudy just played huge Rudy seven offensive rebounds Carl Anon TOS five offensive rebounds Second Chance points were 3214
For the wolves in that game they still won CU they play defense and then a quick this this is just a a quick regard for their Sunday win against Philly because the Wolves one was better but we’ve seen going to the all-star break this Buck team did beat the Nuggets but
Then they they lost to the Miami Heat who were banged up and then they lost to the Memphis Grizzlies who were Ultra banged up so versus the Sixers Ducks old team it felt like we might we might get that right because they yeah a let down especially cuz the Sixers are obviously
Injured just like the heat were without embi so I wondered what they were going to do they just got a great game from Yannis and Dame each had n assists great games from Bobby p and Pat C Bobby P 17 points in this one they’re starting to
Look like their team and again Chris Middleton is out uh so that’s a that’s a problem uh I don’t know if you want to get into these more Rivers comments this is this is hilarious uh it’s just it’s every every doc R yeah doc
R what did you say this time I may have missed this yeah it was it was just a small part of the the broadcast where he was just he was asked about them as the Philadelphia 76ers last year in the playoffs you’re up 3-2 what happened doc
What happened what do you think doc did he didn’t put it on himself he said we’re up 3-2 I thought that was our game I wanted Joel and be to shoot a lot more and I was trying to get Joel and be to shoot a lot more wasn’t my fault he
Didn’t say it was my fault but that’s what he was implying and then he said I don’t know if Jolan beid was injured well you’re his coach shouldn’t you know uh but but he just kind of put it on the fans and then he kind of said then he
Kind of said you know maybe they were the better team I yeah but you were up three2 like I don’t know just say nothing I said I think seen nothing don’t even address it as better than doing that but anyway they got a couple games here home and
Home with the Hornets so they should they should that’s that’s why these are important that they shouldn’t do this like the Grizzlies they did the Grizzlies game before the allar they could win four straight then they the Bulls on Friday yeah so TBD okay rivalry game um but this team is battling for
Second seed in the East now right for real now not not jokes now they’re uh they’re in there but they’re seven and eight since they made the coaching change but they’ve had a lot of tough games and again their defense is is real it feels real that’s a good weekend
Beating the Wolves and the 76ers both on the road no embid yeah okay whatever but still good stuff there for Milwaukee TK let’s keep it moving I know we have a ton here who do you have yeah we got a chunky show today uh this man is not
Chunky Victor wanyama had a 5 by5 first time we talked about wemi getting a 5 by5 February 13th we said which comes first a 5x five or a quadruple double cuz he had a 27 point 14 rebound 10 block five assist two Steel game the second time we talked about it was
Friday yep less than less than a week ago he came up one assist shy against the Kings and then in his 51st career game in less than 31 minutes Victor wanyama puts up 27 points 10 rebounds eight assists five Steals and five blocks and honestly to me the passing is
Unfair of course he’s going to block shots of course he’s going to score of course he’s going to rebound but if this guy’s Diamond up eight times in a game that is just not cool because he is manipulating the defenses he’s finding pocket passes he’s making no looks he’s
Throwing deep Outlet passes these are not simple assists he’s getting where he’s just like you know 7’5 could easily drop it over the top to guys this is wild stuff from wenyama he’s the youngest ever ever with a 5×5 he did it in the fewest minutes ever it’s just the
22nd time it’s happened and it’s the 15th player to ever do it he’s also became the second player ever with five Steals and five blocks in back-to-back games Michael Jordan did it back in 1987 they told Wy this and he said did he do
It in wins he did of course he did these game honestly these Jordan games were crazy 434 six assists eight steals five blocks followed by 34 points 12 rebounds two assists five Steals and five blocks this was in the midst of four straight games that he had five or more steals
Didn’t win the defensive player of the year until the next season though this Michael Jordan guy is pretty good but that brings me to my point Victor wanyama is tell your family status now like this guy it’s reasonable by the time he retires 25 years from now we
Think he’s the best player in the history of basketball just because what you’re seeing him do right now is wild they have to take him out of game so they can keep losing like when they make a comeback you’ll see Tony Jones tweeting it from the athletic send in
Zack Collins to the game’s getting too close and they sit wheny down they lose they keep the pick cuz as soon as they start building a team around Victor and as soon as they start putting the right players around them and getting some more talent in they’re going to be a
Playoff team they could be a playoff team next year depending on who they bring in so the questions I had was Will Victor wanyama get another 5x five this season yeah I think so sure will he get a quadruple double that’s tough I mean that was the one I thought was more
Likely to happen I think I went that route uh instead of the 5×5 which obviously did first it sure it’s in play yes it’s in play I mean especi yeah especially if he gets more minutes or there’s an overtime game yeah but you’re right they do a hell of a job of
Reducing his minutes leaning into a still a nice a soft tank here to like try and get more Talent around him um but and what was the third did you have a third question how soon do you think he’ll be a top five player in the league
Next season or the season after so many fives uh yeah it feels like it’s coming feels like probably the year after I don’t know but it feels like legitimate top five yeah that’s tough yeah that’s tough that’s tough it it depends a little bit on like you said like of
Course who they draft who they whether they get aggressive in adding Talent around him like that’s the part I’m fascinated by like you have this generational Talent how quickly do you have to be like we got to get guys in here that could win right now we could
This he wants to win exactly exactly yeah that’s why he asked about Jordan cuz he wanted to know he said yeah I got a 5x five but I want to win uh just like that other guy so it’s coming and they have to start building around him you
Know in retrospect the the trading of Deonte Murray feels good for them because he was their best player and then they got bad and this year they have been bad they’ve done some odd things with their starting point guard so now they got to try and they got to
Play him more but pop was obviously just slowly getting him into the NBA by not playing him at Center for a long period of time but I believe everything I believe everything Wy I I I believe he kicked a ball out of the room I believe
It he does everything he really does I believe he stuck his head in there and got wedged and we should count it as wedgie number 43 he’s coming I’m glad you brought up the passing man this guy some of the highlights and the touch and the feel
Are like what a guy 74 doing this doesn’t make sense that part you’re right all the other stats okay a guy that huge you’re going to rack up those blocks and rebounds and and you know even steals with his reach the passing just touch passes like somebody botched
One last night against the Jazz where he like touch passed it like behind his back I forget who it was blew the layup um that part’s like mind-blowing and that yeah the more minutes more reps he gets and gets more Talent around him sure like I think Tess is right I mean
Maybe next year top five in the league look it’s possible feels like two years two years and like then it’s going to be him there for the next 15 yeah incredible all right Wy 5 by five you got it 5 by five the first one in five
Years I saw was it nkit NK is the last guy yeah 2019 there’s some weird names on the list VL devot has a 5×5 okay cool Eric Coleman has a 5×5 only three guys have more than one can you name him aim alijan he’s got the most with six Keno
Three and then is it David Robinson or no he’s got one yeah is this a really is it a strange one an old guy uh it’s not cambi is it he’s got one good guess old guy uh we saw him at the airport at our
Weekend Dr J Dr J has too yeah shocker oh that’s I would that’s surprising I would have never got that unless you gave us the hint we saw him at the airport we saw T stepen Jackson and Dr J at the airport so I had to be one of
Those I was thinking t for sure yeah t may have had five songs on the top 100 uh during the autotune era but zero 5x fives at this point but uh Victor’s a pretty good bet to join the list of three other players who have multiple 5x
Fives he’s 20 years old yeah yeah 20 years old incredible stuff all right well let’s keep it going I would like to give an NBA weekend winner to anyone out there that have the Nuggets Andor Celtics in the finals who’s got those tickets you’re laughing if you’ve got a
Nuggets Celtics finals ticket because my God great weekends from these teams both of them they just look like they will be playing come June against each other that’s how I feel uh yic 32 points 16 board 16 assists for his third straight triple double leading the Nuggets past the Warriors
Last night uh nationally televised game really fun game I thought 119 103 in the end this game like that it changed was like three minutes to go in the first half Klay Thompson was on fire it was great it was like oh man Klay coming off the bench can’t miss he’s feeling it
He’s literally talking [ __ ] to his own fans because you know there’s been a lot of discourse around clay H whether he’s lost and stuff it felt like every three he hit he was like looking at his own fans like mean mugging them um but then
Denver ended that half on a 14 to0 run and it was tied 6161 like the Warriors outplayed them the entire first half until those final three minutes and just like that it was tied and then in the third quarter you know joic doing everything Jamal Murray getting hot
Everybody playing their part they just they look you know they’re the defending champs for a reason when healthy it still goes through them obviously in the Western Conference and and I you know Draymond Green’s one of the greatest Defenders we’ve ever seen dare I say he played him okay
Against joic at times last night 54% shoo I know but he still does everything else and there’s just I don’t know what you do like we’ve talked about it time and time again like what do you do try and make him a scorer oh no you try and
Take that away it’s like it doesn’t matter he just dominates every possession joic does everything goes through him and every time they’re going to end with a good shot and you know everybody was playing their parts in terms of knocking down threes and stuff like that so you got that side of the
Things and then the Celtics won their eight straight game over the weekend they beat the Knicks on Saturday night also a nationally televised game uh 116 102 two Jaylen Brown 30 porzingis 22 Tatum doing a bit of everything and they have I read from Jared Weiss the top 10
Best net ratings in NBA history right now the Celtics do uh you know we’re you we’re talking the the Jordan Bulls and the the Warriors in in uh well the year they didn’t win the title Spurs as well in 16 um top 10 net rating right now because they’re just hammering teams and
They look Elite so again baring injury right here today I feel very conf these are going to be the two teams in the finals and I’m here for it cuz I think it be a hell of a series between these two teams but uh still a lot of
Basketball still be played lot of basketball God they look good I mean you guys I assume agree with me they just look unbelievable both these squads that run by the nuggets at the end of the first half was like watching The Warriors when they were at their absolute Peak and you’re like they’re
Never out of a game and it can turn into a blowout just like that they also gave up 16 points in the fourth quarter against the Warriors kcp was all over Steph Curry uh postgame Steve KR said Steph’s a little exhausted he did do one round of the Three-Point Contest he did
Make that one defensive play in the All-Star game as well and I think they’ve had three games in four nights uh coming out of the break so understandable but the Nuggets completely took advantage of it I think they’re 30 and 12 uh when Jamal Murray plays right now if those two guys are
Both healthy they get a good shot every time they want to it’s either a three-pointer a layup or yic shooting a dinker dumper yeah it is those two guys making it happen together Jamal and joic I loved watching joic get pissed up cuz usually he’s just kind he’s a little bit
Neutral you know he doesn’t get too high or too low but he was mad at just one pass he missed where he led Christian Brown a little too F too much and it went out of bounds and he was just so oh damn it you idiot like don’t be so hard
On yourself man yeah like you are a two-time MVP just won the championship just botched one pass one pass yeah because he is a perfectionist he is just so damn good if they’re healthy as as you guys brought up Jamal Murray is it’s a little bit worrisome that he’s got
Shin splints and that he ain’t playing in backto backs the rest of the year they only have a couple back to backs but he sat no backto backs in the playoffs no back-to-backs in the playoffs that’s right but as Michael Malone said John holler wrote about on the
Athletic the only way he’s getting healthy is rest and the more rest would be better I think he’ll probably be resting in the summer when he should be playing for Canada in Paris it’s going to hurt we’re going to be in Vegas Canada’s going to be playing the us
We’re going to want to watch Jamal Murray but he’s probably going to sit uh because yeah well if they go far if they go all the way through to June play in the finals again yeah more likely that mean he sits it out yeah anyways uh yeah
So they don’t have a lot of back toback side that’s not the problem but he’s just always a he just feels it he feels it in the shin I guess and unfortunately they’re not going to really be able to rest him down the stretch like last year
They had what maybe a seven game lead on the Grizzlies for the first seed when they kind of took their foot off the gas and yic said I do not want this third straight MVP give it to somebody else uh they’re not going to be able to do do
That this year because they got to maintain their seaing and then you’re right the Celtics man they were getting straight up let’s go Celtics chance in MSG Nicks really need their forwards back I would have to say Oobi Julius Randall still out they’ve lost five of their last six yeah the Celtics are
Oddly sort of in the position the Nuggets were last year where they’re so clear of the number two seed they’re seven and a half up on Cleveland I mean they’re at 45 wins right now Boston is yeah I’m I’m interested to see how they play it how how Missoula does this like
With their guys I mean we’re always talking about like I really do think porzingis is the Difference Maker to a potential Championship or at least getting into the finals for Boston do you just like set this guy for a little while do you keep the Good Vibes going
With everyone how do you do it with your star players do you just pick your spots here and there because they won’t really be playing for anything hell even like finals uh homecourt Advantage you know they’ve got a couple up on on the Western Conference so that’s something
To watch just how they go about it cuz you always get into like know don’t don’t don’t mess with anything just keep this rolling be a 65 win team and go into the playoffs and kick some ass or do you go no these are sort of meaningless games over we’re being
Honest in terms of our record let’s find some more rest for our star guys especially porzingis you know your old guys in Horford we’ll see what they do I don’t know what the answer is they got the nuggets in 10 days so that boods well finals match up probably they
Probably got to play that one I was looking at that you know later on in the year they’re probably going to have guys sitting for their Bucks game which is pretty close to the end but yeah they’ve got the one seed wrapped up oh yeah no doubt all right let’s go another round
Here Tas melis another winner yeah I’ll stick to the up high in the Western Conference standings I’m interested in this matchup because the Kings and the Clippers they match up pretty well I’d love to see them in the postseason because the Clippers I I worry about them against
Big teams but the Kings you can’t go small against them because they’re just so damn good they go to into LA and they they played freaking well Darren Fox played really really well against James Harden specifically he got really aggressive on him got into a passing
Lane for a steal in the first quarter got a deflection in the third quarter he almost played James Harden a little too too aggressively at times because he had to recover but that’s fine uh because he can recover because he is pretty quick he had a great time playing against
James hard he got aggressive in that fourth quarter he had a great great steal and then a score at the other end 33 points for him uh Damonte sabonis had two butt plays in this one straight from his butt uh if you guys saw that assist
It was a beauty fell at the free throw line but still found somebody underneath great Zoomer uh and then he had another one to the three-point line where the three the shot was missed so I wasn’t an assist but still a highlight that wasn’t
Good call butt to butt uh I I I think that was a a great performance and for him this is a good team for him to match up against because he doesn’t defend the rim all that well that that’s if he’s got a weakness it’s that one but uh man
This guy the rebounding leader in the NBA he was getting it a after it on the boards seven offensive eight defensive so 15 boards in all 17 points 12 assists it’s a yic type line great for him but uh it was it was just a fun game Daniel
Ty had a huge block the Clippers were really trying to run it up against the Kings as well they didn’t have Paul George so that was an issue but for the Kings to go inside to go into La excuse me and win that thing it’s great stuff
It’s great stuff and it was great watching an ESPN a lot of a lot of nationally televised games here four on yester yesterday alone yeah that’s a ton uh so here in Bob Meers you know former front office uh of the gold State Warriors he said the int Dome you gave
Us a little get a little bit of taste of the Clippers next Stadium he said it’s GNA it’s going to feel like the fans are right on you kind of like when you’re in Utah it’s going to be really steep let’s get stuff the wall we will talk about
The uh new Clippers uniforms and logos and sort of rebranding we’ll do that on tomorrow’s show because we got too much in this one the elements came in too late yeah they launched it at like 9:00 they said okay Zack low go okay let’s Let It Go West Coast team man yeah
Exactly exactly West CO good call yeah West Coast team it’s a good call Cuz usually they go real early for algorithms we’re going six 6:30 a.m. eastern but come out to about 9: did it no it did not but Clippers and Kings would match up right now in the
Postseason the 4 five matchup that would be great that would be great um but the Kings yeah starting to feel I don’t know feel like careful be careful no I don’t want to go too hot I’m just joking you start talking good about the Kings and
They yeah for yeah but but the West I I just hesitate because the West is just so damn tough yeah as Trey was just saying about the Nuggets I mean they want to the Nuggets want to rise and they’re just a third place team they’re just a third place team because the West
Is so damn tough yeah but Sacramento I mean because there’s so many good teams they are the most overlooked good team in the Western Conference they’re 10 and five in their last 15 with wins over Denver twice Dallas the Clippers and the Warriors so they’re beating some of
These good talented teams but then the problem with them is they have some just some stinkers too that’s why like I get I get excited about them and then they sort of let me down always but they’re going to be a fun first round matchup whoever they play against and I think
They could Advance against the right team but but my gut says it’s like another like sort of heartbreaking type of seven game loss I don’t know why that that could be in the cards again for Sacramento yeah I kind of feel the same way and I even kind of feel like their
Win yesterday though a good win is a little bit fluky because the Kings give up a ton of three-pointers and the Clippers are a great three-point shooting team but somehow they only made eight out of 27 and got outshot by the Kings so uh you know a good run for the
Clippers but I think this is the first time they’ve lost back-to-back games since December uh is what it was but you’re right the Kings and the Pelicans five and six right now they’re just good sorry you’re just good and you don’t have any Hall of Famer so it doesn’t
Come up all that often that’s true all right TK who who do you have for another winner oh my sweet pee Paulo vono getting a winner of the weekend for me he had a game winner Saturday against Detroit not the sexiest game winner no he probably got away with a little
Travel not according to the last two minute report they said correct non call but it did look weird because he steps off his left foot lands in a jump stop with both of his feet and then his like right foot slides back it’s cuz he’s going backwards that it looks so weird
If he was going forward for a layup like you jump off your one foot you land on two it’s all good so I thought they got the call right unlike when he hit a game winner against the Bulls and he did travel and the last two minute report
Did confirm it nonetheless it worked it went in it was about a three on the aesthetic scale I thought also got the foul on Jaylen Duren and made the free throw which was important because a couple of possessions earlier he went to the line shot a couple after maybe being
Gifted a trip to the line uh missed both of them but I really loved his postgame interview could not stop saying the FW I think he said it three times could not stop crying and he just credited his teammates the whole time CU this was not
A great banaro game I think he went five for 17 France Vagner was really the guy down the stretch and then like I mentioned he missed those two free throws with 17 seconds left but uh great shot from bonero I just like watching this guy play that was a major moment
This weekend yeah he crying and out of happiness I didn’t see the interview yeah yeah oh wow yeah I mean it sucks I was excited for the magic this weekend until they you know then they go to Atlanta and they lose to Atlanta no Pao yeah no Pao that’s right that’s right so
A little different there but uh you know last week I remember they had a big win uh was it right be I guess it was right when we came back from the All-Star break and it was I was reading quotes from like Mo vogner that was the vogner
Game where they both play well but they were like talking up about like how they like obviously like the home stretch here and they want to get into the postseason and and it dawned on me it’s like we talk about a lot of these other teams obviously like the thunder come to
Mind being a young team and a couple other squads where we’re like yeah get that team in there get that guy like some playoff reps and stuff like that it’s like sort of forgotten about Paulo specifically and the magic like that should be the case for them get in there
Get in there you know just get some reps some from some playoff uh minutes and experience and and that will help your career moving forward so it was cool to hear them talking about that like how they want to like obviously if they can avoid a playin they’re they’re right
There they’re game behind the Pacers for the six seeds so it’s not it’s not impossible I mean the and the Sixers and the Knicks really are all right there too so for them to get out of the playin would be huge but even just the the
Playin games to maybe go in the back door would be would be something special because poo you know you’ve talked about him a ton TK you love him a lot of people love him he’s a future Superstar for sure uh right after Cade’s tying game tying shot in that game good to see
The Orlando beat a really tough team in the Detroit Pistons yeah said it uh Pistons look better I just I’m I’m enjoying Kade Cunningham in the last couple months he’s really really improved it’s changed the game 22 points four boards seven assists per game 50% in the effective field goal percentage
The numbers are actually pretty similar to Pao banero in all honesty they’re very very similar he’s balling he he’s balling really well and yeah he had a shot it was a tough layup something you don’t really think of with Cade taking it to the hoop uh but he did that and
Then PA had to go hit the next uh game winner yeah well I was crying as much as poo because look that’s a huge huge loss for Detroit in the nut bus the nut bust the nut dust bow standings because TK you’re a winner of the weekend let’s just like lump you in
Here the Hornets they got another win last night they have 15 wins you’re clear man it’s over I had a nut bust on that one like you are out of this race uh that we’ve been tracking here and the loser will have to you know obviously
Take down a bunch of nut dusts to you know the bottom of the peanut bag and probably choke on air but uh the Wizards are at nine wins and they are by far the worst team in the league they’re 0 and 10 over I think they lost 11 in a row
And you’re right Detroit is playing better yeah they still have eight wins but it’s a battle between you and me Tass your Pistons my Wizards and uh yeah I I don’t know I don’t feel confident I don’t feel confident in my zards they look like [ __ ] hey Jordan
Pull that he had 31 point points in a game yeah yeah was that Off the Bench remember when we thought Jordan scoring I think his first 30o game this season if I’m not mistaken all right anyway keep your eye on that um I got a couple other uh mini
Winners uh Del Curry Del Curry got a chance to call both of his sons games as Steph and Seth took on each other in a Hornets Warriors game over the weekend pretty cool for Dell uh Tyrese Maxi had a big fourth quarter I guess that was Friday night against the Cavs little
Love to him OKC they’ve won five straight they beat the zards okay and the rockets over the weekend Chad holgren 22 for 30 from the floor over the weekend hit seven threes grabbed 18 boards seven assists and had five blocks um you know W be special Chet’s not far
Behind uh with what this guy can do as a rook but but but but I’m GNA give a winner of the weekend to Steve Kerr because he got a contract extension he got he got paid Steve Kerr did uh the Warriors and K agreed to a 2-year $35 million contract extension that will
Make him the highest paid coach in NBA history uh and it’s it’s a it’s notable that it’s only a two-year extension because that extension aligns him with Steph Curry who has two years left on his deal so these two joined at the hip Curry and kerr uh but any thoughts on on
Steve getting paid here getting contract exension the amount that he was paid that’s the first the amount oh man 17 and a half seon and and and now Steve Kerr they must be like thank you Monty Williams thank you good sir right he got the biggest contract for a coach in
History Monty did when he signed that insane deal with the Pistons they have eight wins let’s remember that and uh and then what happens SPO he gets his new deal Kerr gets his new deal like holy crap talk about setting like set they set the bar there on money Williams
They must have been calling their agent immediately like what the hell he got how much oh we’re good call him money Williams he uh helped out those other guys yeah it’s true true he was an industry plant man that’s the only reason he came he literally didn’t want
To coach they’re like no we’re overpaying you he’s like all right if I got to do it we’re going to try and lose as many games as possible then yeah I’m going to try and get fired in one year here and I just get paid for four years
Running yeah but anyway uh Steve Kerr thoughts on it surprise at all you think he deserves it yeah the the whole uh just breaking him down and the way things have worked out with Jonathan kaminga was the biggest insult to what the the job that Steve Kerr has done but
Obviously they sat down and kaminga is in he’s in with him and he’s playing really well obviously and in his new role and they look good and they look great against the Champs last night in that battle against the Denver Nuggets so things have worked out although Steve
Kerr’s job was being questioned earlier this season because he wasn’t playing the youngies yeah strictly strictly because of that um but it has worked out you gave him a month kaminga here in you know two and a half years into his NBA career yeah looks great so I guess ker
Was good I guess Kerr was right you know as we as we questioned it all thoughts on K here he was like this close to taking the Knick’s job with Phil Jackson so close so I think he made the right choice here bit of a sliding door moment
Is Big Time man and you mentioned uh how it lines up with Curry’s contract Draymond green also was signed through the 26 Season though he has a player option for 2027 which makes you think Klay Thompson coming up as a free agent this summer I’m thinking a two-year deal
For Klay Thompson he’s already said that he would probably take a little less money to stick around and clearly the Warriors core wants to stay together so I would imagine that we’re looking at two I don’t know what do you say two for 60 million for clay 30 mil a season
Something like that I don’t know yeah possibly uh Marcus Thompson thei at the athletic great warriors writer he wrote The Warriors front office hasn’t always felt so certain about Kerr his handling of young players has frustrated a few people above him perhaps that’s why the Warriors are fine linking him to Steph
Curry’s contract because if Curry hangs it up at the end of his deal the Warriors might prefer starting a new era with a new coach uh and again Thompson noting that uh I love how he put this this is maybe the Warriors proverbial Last Dance which has three songs because
They’re gonna have three postseasons here right maybe last season was the last day well I know if they get in this one they got to get in is something to remember and then maybe two more years here with with the idea being cerr and Curry as like the backbones of the of
The organization still well they need to beef up their team yeah because their team right now is not good enough to compete for a championship I think they are three and 15 this season against teams that have a 50- win Pace they cannot beat the Nuggets and yic ain’t
Going anywhere so it’s going to be a big season for the Warriors they know that they’ve got all of the top people around Klay Thompson will obviously be a question mark kaminga has been good but they need to do something to go to the next level cuz this team right now is
Maybe a Conference Finals Contender but they don’t feel like a championship Contender at this moment all right those are our NBA weekend winners obviously uh lot still out there let us know in the comments both live on YouTube after the show tweet at us at no dun sync we’re

At the top of your list well Trey young unfortunately because he’s injured he got injured in Friday’s game against Toronto Raptors you could see it taped up two fingers together in the second half played through it h and then he was questionable for the Sunday game against
Orlando Magic and then they finally said oh gosh this guy’s got a half surgery unfortunately he’s got a tear of the radial collateral ligament I had to look that up and go through that oh yeah it’s the ligament in the pinky of his left hand and
Uh it’s it’s such a big problem for him he’s got to go have surgery like he could play through it but it it is going to be a problem with his left hand so he’s going to New York to have surgery and he’s going to be re-evaluated in
Four weeks doesn’t mean he’ll be back in four weeks so that’s a long time for the Atlanta Hawks he going to miss more than half their games at least left in the regular season now everybody is saying oh yeah did you see them win did you see
Them win against Orlando on Sunday I did yeah that’s what’s going to happen 31 assists on 41 makes yes uh with no Paula banero on the other side Orlando’s a good defensive team well watch watch watch the Hawks here here we go three three and three right now without Trey
Young over the couple over the couple years they like three and 10 though three and nine they’ll play 500 maybe that’s just what the Hawks do yeah so they’re like 500 over the past 18 years yeah yeah yes this is the mid team yeah where they are truly a 500 team what was
The stat it was like literally like 750 and 750 over their last, 1500 games I think they went 500 over the weekend right yes yes uh obviously B herol plays they probably lose that that game but yeah they they did play better I always want to think that the Hawks are going
To get it together late in the season but to think that they’re worse uh or or the better I should say without Trey young that ain’t right they need Trey to feel it out now it’s great to see Kobe buffkin play his first minutes as an actual backup point guard he
Looked good out there a block and a steal out there he gets after defensively he’s pretty big for a backup point guard at 64 65 played a little bit earlier as a wing because they’ve got so many freaking injuries and so many illnesses on this team uh but the
Injuries are are scary with this team Ina kongu also out I just don’t buy anything about this team when Trey young is is out I just I I I don’t buy it no yeah they’ll share the ball a little bit um but still in the end every team wins
A game every team can win a game and and and that was a tough backto back for the Orlando Magic true they played Saturday night an 800 p.m. start then they had to go play a 700 p.m. start there is a stat for you or a a Time Time reference I
Guess uh but anyway our time 23 hours time stats 23 yeah I gu that’s a good question never thought about it that way I had the uh it’s time they’re going to be they’re going to win games here they play the Jazz two games against the Nets
Play the Knicks who are obviously banged up maybe their guys are back by then some of them then they have a Cavs but then they have the Grizzlies Pelicans Blazers Jas I I’m sorry I know what’s going to happen here it’s so weird it doesn’t make sense you’re right remove a guy
That’s basically 30 and 10 who is a good player but something tells me the Hawks will like go you know six and four or seven and three in their next 10 and suddenly be like obviously squarely in a playin game I think it’s what’s fascinating is like will we see Trey
Young play again this season depends what the record is maybe when he’s good to go after the surgery or if they’re like too far out of it did they say you know what give buffkin these minutes let’s go with what we got let’s not risk reinjuring it that’s that’s possibility
Yeah they can’t be bad enough to finish bottom four like they can’t really try and tank they’re way too good for that amount of losses I don’t I don’t think buffkin is going to be the starting point guard by any means it’s Deonte Murray who was awesome yesterday yeah um he was really
Good in his 39 minutes played I just ain’t buying it I just ain’t buying this team I mean they struggled through but you weren’t buying this team with Trey Young well they need him yeah sure sure they’re three and a half games up on the Nets for the 10th
Seed four games up on the Raptors I think they’re probably fine right yeah they’ll probably stay at number 10 yeah yeah do you think Trey will play again then he’ll come back yeah just left pinky said he could play through it want to be healthy for the Olympics to try
And make the team probably interesting interesting uh yeah’s a right-handed player yeah the worst finger worse we say say ring finger worst finger but your left ring finger is an important one right ring finger I would say worst finger right just me if you’re so you’re com in 10 Place
Yeah is that a stat best fingers yes let’s do it top 10 fingers the left pinky it does seem like it’s not needed all that much but it does control the ball but this is why I say this this is this is summing up how they feel about
This season you just said it I mean they’re like okay we’re we’re in a playing game cool we’ll lose don’t worry we won’t make it uh so Trey just go get surgery I mean if they were like serious about this team or had any confidence in
This team and I’m not I’m not blaming Trey here I’m just saying this is they’re looking at the landscape here going we’re not scaring anyone we’re not that good they’re the worst defense in the league that’s atrocious we have some shitty teams in this league and we had
Some confidence that under Quinn SNY with a full training camp some more pieces there that it was going to like make like look maybe a little more respectable in that end they’re the worst come on it is unfortunate yeah it is unfortunate it is they shouldn’t be that bad that ain’t Trey’s
Fault that they’re that they’re that bad no but uh he’s having his best defensive season he got hurt playing defense actually it was like reaching in on a steel uh that that happened I think the biggest reason they’re bad on defense this year is Capella has definitely
Fallen off this season like I mean he’s taken a step back the past couple of years but this year he’s uh he’s looking slow yeah and he looked bad yesterday and they miss a kongu who’s arguably their best center um who’s who’s out right now and not starting so they have
An odd roster and I think they know that I think SNY knows that as a head coach It Ain’t readyy So that’s true I guess you sit Trey Young and the way the Nets are playing although the Ws look pretty pretty nice this weekend hey raps win
One more game they got a pizza party baby who’s there next to who’s there next to I don’t know I actually didn’t check uh maybe do they play no they don’t play tonight I think they play tomorrow kind of P Pacers Oakum okay in Indiana interesting be tough going to be tough TK NBA weekend loser the unwritten rules of the NBA are a weekend loser for me because we had two violations yeah Friday night was Fight Night the Hornets and the Warriors it popped off with 12 seconds left
Warriors up 11 Lester konz takes a layup miles Bridges takes offense and then Grant Williams goes forehead to forehead with ler konz great moment Steve Kerr and Steve Clifford couple of Steves shaking hands and they noticed the game didn’t actually end we got a fight down there you can just see them both
Swearing at each other there’s a great like Baseline angle uh where an assistant coach from the Warriors comes up and puts a clipboard on the Stans in camera so you can’t catch anybody you can even hear Kena asabuki former NBA player on the broadcast for the Warrior saying forget these Unwritten rules
These are stupid if you want a guy to not score on you at the end of the game play defense against him there was still time left on the clock the shot clock was running out it was not uh the game clock running out but what ended up
Happening was Lester konas got two technicals he’s out of here Grant Williams got ejected for escalating uh he got one Technical and ejected for escalating the situation and then him and Draymond Green were literally waving at each other as Grant was ejected and then miles Bridges got a technical as well
That was Friday night we also had another fight on Friday but that was not I’ll get to that a violation of the unwritten rules that was a violation of a real rule Saturday night though it’s all right for fighting and it happened in the Nets Timberwolves game 24 seconds
Left wolves up 12 Mike connley hits a three Dennis schruder he was upset about this one Jaden McDaniel steps in Conley’s just like what man like big deal I just shot a three there was time left on the shot clock and on the game clock nobody backs up shudder on this
One cuz mik connley as a four-time sportsmanship Award winner has never got a technical in his career and it was getting close on this one they could have easily given him a double Tech had him offset what end up happening four offsetting techs for just like random
Dudes on the Nets and the Timberwolves including uh Dorian finny Smith uh got one as well shuder got one uh who else on the Timberwolves McDaniels I don’t know who the other guy was it didn’t matter uh but after they announced it uh the Timberwolves in Arena played Taylor Swift I Knew You
Were Trouble when you walked in there was like a perfect shot of Dennis shrer very very funny to me but uh these things are dumb like literally uh you got to agree with Kena if you don’t want somebody to shoot the ball at the end play Until the End of the clock it’s
That easy you know it’s just a shot clock yeah and I thought it was kind of indicative that nobody on the Nets had Dennis shudder back you can tell the different directions teams like the Hornets and the Nets are going right like the Hornets are locked in we’re all
Fighting together we don’t like this the Nets are like what are you doing man let’s just end the season yeah exactly yeah exactly it’s yucky because they just fired Jack Von uh and they go get Dennis shuder who’s known to be a feisty fella sure at times he he gets into it
So I think yeah the Nets Nets teammates knew that it it is unfortunate with the the Warriors Lester Kon has just called for the ball he’s a rook he just wants to score the time is just running up in the shot clock but he has he has to shoot or
Something so I don’t know why miles Bridges goes and gets into his face I mean because okay this only ever happens because a team is embarrassed that they lost the game and they’re pissed off the Hornets for example scored 29 Points in the first half of that game like they
Couldn’t score at all they’re just having a bad night brutal and it this is what happens at the end of the game I’m not I’m not agreeing with it because you’re right it’s so silly but that’s all that’s happening they’re just like oh I’m I’m angry with how this game is
Gone I’m angry how I’ve played that you’ve beaten us and now how dare you take one more extra shot and then you know then we get into pushing and yelling and hence all the techs in both of these cases but 9784 what a battle what a battle in that
Charlotte Golden State yeah yeah yeah exactly exactly all right well let’s get to the other uh loser of the weekend the Pelicans and it had to do with that fight that happened on the weekend but I would say overall brutal weekend for the New Orleans Pelicans they lost two games
To the Heat and the Bulls they lost two players to suspension in that fight with Miami on Friday night they lost CJ McCollum to a spray and left ankle in that same game on Friday night and they lost two spots in the west standings dropping to seventh now there’s some you
Know ties there but they are tied with the Suns and they Dro to seventh because of a tiebreaker not a good weekend for the pels there uh and you know love to get your thoughts on the fight that went down there on Friday it it was an
Incident that began when Kevin Love he committed a foul on Zion Williamson he tried to do the old wrap them up yeah and I thought Zion started this whole thing by flopping to the floor Kevin was fouling him it was called again he was just doing the bear hug and I think Zion
Was maybe just trying to sell it a little bit more whatever and he just dropped to the floor and that’s when everybody started engaging it was Jimmy Butler it was Naji Marshall physical physical altercation there I guess uh was it Marshall that had his hand very
Quickly on Jimmy’s neck and then we had Alvarado and Thomas Bryant they started fighting uh yic got a game because he came off the bench there were there were some suspensions uh for some of these guys Butler and Nai got one the other guys that left the bench and started
Fighting alberado Bryant they got three yic got one as well I don’t think he really he didn’t really fight but he got in there leaving the bench but anyway uh yeah thoughts on on the pels weekend and just this fight overall well I will say that I’m glad that it wasn’t
A real fight because we don’t really see this was a real fight for the NBA yeah the biggest fight of the weekend definitely biggest fight of the weekend hand on throat punch a throne there’s no hockey fight you see that one no I didn’t see it oh calling in a fight of
The year I don’t know who these guys were by the way they threw Haymakers for like a minute it was awesome is it ol Samuelson no it was the Rangers versus waser anyway it was the fight of the year they saying that was a real fight yeah
Drop the gloves let’s go always crazy hockey guys just banging into each other like throwing fists on their helmets they don’t give a [ __ ] these guys man it’s great yeah have you seen Austin Matthews that guy scoring a lot he’s gonna get to 70 70 pucks into the mesh
What is he Brad Hall basically yeah first 70 goal scorer in years since teu and mcy it’s been a long time he’s gonna do it man he is gonna do it uh but that’s why I I liked it because there were no Knuckles thrown yeah it wasn’t
It wasn’t a fight fight fight Zion Williamson he kind of made up for it afterwards because he went down and Kevin Love tried to catch him I guess he’s a little too big even for for Kevin Love to catch him because he tried to catch him and he went to the floor and
Then I kind of blame Jimmy got in Naji Marshall’s face sort of he got really close to Naji Marshall’s face and Naji kind of put his hands up uh so that’s it that’s the extent of it I thought I thought Naji Marshall was the escalator
In this one personally he he flew in to back up his guy fair enough uh and then Jimmy was trying to like calm things down and then he pushed Jimmy and then Jimmy was like it’s on it’s on but it was very funny that like we got all
These suspensions from this one and then postgame like you’re saying Zion’s like he actually protected me on my fall like this one feel felt like Zion and Kevin Love zero interest in having like this is just a fair foul yeah a fair Foul Play of baseball music
Baby but yeah I guess uh it’s probably hard to catch a falling Zion Williamson true I did see Eric spoler after the game said that there’s no way Kevin Love is strong enough to knock down Zion Williamson I don’t I disagree I saw a sports science where he was boxing out a
Sumo wrestler once upon a time that was sick man he’s just like smashing into this giant Sumo dude like an actual sumo wrestler actual sumo wrestler trying to show how he boxes out it was like around the 3030 game yeah that show it was like
Uh who was it there to see who is like the fastest uh Jason Capon Jason Capo yeah how fast he get shot off Crazy Fast point 22 I think something like that yeah Something Stupid Fast anyway anyway F fight yeah fun fight uh but but everybody yeah yeah fair but not good
For the Pelicans I mean missing guys in a game against the Bulls which they then lose you know it was a close game in fact it was a very close game d rozan got a rebound and pulled it out sort of squared up on Jonas and popped to three
In his eye to put the Bulls up five on Sunday and uh they held on uh to to win that one but you know the CJ injury missing guys and again like the Pelicans are this is going to be one of these things like every loss and every win
Matters in the standings when it comes to tiebreakers and where you are with these other teams so to follow a couple spots just losing these two games and uh after the fight just a bad weekend loser of the weekend yeah absolutely and the players that they ended up losing with
CJ with the injury Alvarado with fighting and Dyson Daniels is already out they had no point guard so Zion was in at point guard got an actual start with like a gigantic lineup an absurd amount of height on this one but 19 turnovers for the Pelicans yeah that’s
Right nine of them for Brandon Ingram yeah and he just returned from like a non-co I think he was sick or something like that uh all right well there it is our Losers of the weekend tell us who he missed but let’s get to tweet of the

Trae Young is too low of a ceiling on the caliber of talent you should expect to want to come ball in Silver and Black with Wemby.
friday games are the worst. we had a whole brawl and a total of 5 players suspended between both teams. but no mention of the heat😢
Chet got snubbed from weekend winners.
Do you guys remember Ivan Johnson?
Sometimes when I play pick up I try to only shoot wedgies
Another Great Podcast Episode You Guys Keep Up The Great Work & SGA he's the man💯👍 #NoDunks
Good stats for the Bucks as a team in that 3rd canto 36-13, awesome defense against the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA. I hope they can continue this momentum through the playoffs and not choke in the first round.
What a time to be alive…. “The modern wedgie era” lmao
the wemby glaze is crazy trey cmon man, starting greatest of all time convos when hes won like 10 games lmaoooo
top 5 player in league is wild next year cmon trey
STOP THE GLAZE
Domas and Fox should be HoFers
With the Athletic mic sticker Tas' shirt now says "A Citizen of Toronto"
On pace for 62 like we're Aaron freaking Judge 🤤
Klay is such a corny dork
Is this the 6th year Celtics are supposed to be in the finals? And how many times have they actually been there?
James johnson was the guy who kicked the wedgie out, Bam told that story about when he realized you dont want to mess around w JJ
https://youtu.be/G2Cg0p4y5qw?si=IGQ6mvyEfiozhg5l
nut bust bowl is gross Phil, grow up
winner of the weekend, the Greek national team! Good win against the second best team in the group, even though we couldnt hit a three to save our lives. Also, the bucks looked quite better this weekend, all star break seems beneficial so far.
Loving the Nut Bust bowl! Wonder which teams are going to be able to hold out till the end of the seasonlmao
🍕
On the OGs podcast they said james Johnson also kicked a ball out that was wedged
🍕🍕🍕
Thumbs up for tweet of the night.
What does a wedgie season record say about the current NBA environment? Sicko responses only!!!
I went to the clippers Kings game last night LA (i’m a Clippers fan so unfortunately) but luckily, there was a wedgy to salvage the night, but it didn’t come during the NBA action. During halftime kids, ages maybe 8 to 12, we’re playing full court and one of them wedged it and I’m happy to say the crowd cheered very loud but I exclaimed WEDGIE!!! It was quite the site to see in person lol
I honestly think Wemby could be the first player to record a 5×10.
Ooooh, “three point wedgie…”
When are you gonna start tallying point values for wedgies?! Threes are worth three, 2s are worth 2, free throws are worth cause that would be real crazy.
Classic
When you guys going to talk about the clippers new look
Love that you guys saw that post of the Hawks being the ultimate mid team 😂 😁
Loser of the week has to go to draymond for saying miles bridges can do no wrong
Hate that cold open
POTENTIALLY MISSED WEDGIE
hey guys sorry if this wedgie has already been counted or if you’ve already addressed it. I listen to every episode and I never saw or heard it mentioned but I’m not very active on social media, so I just wanted to say that I believe there was a wedgie in the rockets vs raptors game on 2/9/24 I wanna say middle 3Q by amen Thompson. I was watching game at a bar so dunno for sure if it was a legit wedgie, an after the whistle wedgie or what just wanted to make sure I addressed this. Sorry if it’s already been covered.
Love and appreciate yall
Beach steppin Q:
For years, I've thought that Doc Rivers is overrated as a coach. The only true success he has to his name is with the Celtics–a roster full of self-motivated all-timers. Other than that, he's been gifted great teams and does a great job dismantling them and setting a fire to the dumpster as he walks out the door.
On top of that, I've always respected Steve Kerr as a coach until recently when I realized that he only has one trick up his sleeve: play smaller. Classic guard coach. He doesn't want to figure out how to use big men, so he plays small every time (I'm a post player myself, if you can't tell 😉. I know my bias).
My question: What is something that you find completely overrated that most everyone else holds in high regard?
a great slam dunk contest idea: have Wendy kick a wedgie in the air for someone to dunk it. an assist with a standing kick the ball with an allyoop
Being a Pelicans fan is the worst. It's the opposite of the quote from The Godfather. Every time I'm in, they push me back out.
Also, Zion needs to shoot more. I'm sick of this bullshit. Point Zion shouldn't be 19 pts and 11 assists. It should be 30 pts and 7 assists.
I thought Paolo traveled in the wide angle, but after seeing a closeup of his feet I really don't think he did. I hated the shot with every fiber of my being though. Not because I wanted the Spurs to win, but just because I like good basketball. A player iso-dribbling into a flailing baseline 20-footer isn't good basketball. And it ties into the reservations some people still have about Paolo's game.
Luka, Jokic and Giannis are only 3 players that clearly will be better than Wemby next year(Embiid probably,but health is huge concern).
Nut Bust Bowl is a whole different thing
