Celtics CHOKE 30-pt Lead, Rockets 9-Game WIN Streak, Sabonis MVP Odds? And MORE! | Run it Back



Celtics CHOKE 30-pt Lead, Rockets 9-Game WIN Streak, Sabonis MVP Odds? And MORE! | Run it Back

Good morning and welcome to runner back here on FanDuel TV uh quick intros Lou Will’s back woohoo we traded him though because Shams is now out uh shout out to Sham who’s not feeling well today Chandler P very dependable for three days a week you could guarantee you

He um but we do have a lot of basketball to get to there’s so much going on in the world today but we will concentrate on just we have to yeah but there’s a lot we want to talk about uh Celtics at Hawks this is I I don’t know what to do

With it the Hawks were down 30 come back and beat Boston DeAndre Hunter with 24 Deonte Murray with 19 and 15 Tatum had 37 and eight rebounds but it’s the largest comeback win for the Hawks in team history the nine game win streak for Boston now snapped um how are you up

30 and lose like this yeah it’s tough to do and if I wouldn’t be so concerned if this hadn’t happened before and March 5th against the Cavs the dean Wade game they were up 20 smoked it uh there was a game earlier against Milwaukee where they were up 20 they end up still

Winning the game but blew the lead this is this is becoming a trend where they don’t have that killer instinct they don’t step on the gas when they’re up and it’s a sign of maturity to me and that’s not a trait that you want or you

Need to have as a championship team and we can look on the other side too that they got the number one seed locked up they’re not really playing for anything they’re trying to get healthy they missed Drew holiday and Derek white last night so you could chalk it up but they

Still had enough on the court to be up 30 to be spotted 30 points with 30 or so minutes left to play it’s an inexcusable loss and again it’s I would love to see Tatum who did have a great game he had 37 and8 Jaylen Brown played great but

This speaks volumes on their depth when they have one or two or three guys missing they don’t have a lot so if those guys they’re starting five aren’t Elite and they don’t literally carry the team for 48 minutes things like this happen this is not boded well for the

Play that are right around the corner I mean Jason Tatum said that they effed the game up I he just read off a list of other times that they’ve done that is this the worst loss well I mean I don’t know which one to call the worst loss

Yeah it probably it’s probably going to sting you know especially when you’re up 30 like a 15-point lead a 20-point lead 30 is a completely different realm of effing the game up like Jason Tatum said I’m sure you know they have the number one seed locked up and all of those

Things but I don’t care what you’re ranked I don’t care where you are in the season drop a 30 point lead and lose on a road it’s going to sting so they have a lot to talk about uh today and by the way Boston didn’t have their two guys

But Atlanta didn’t have sadique Bay Trey young Griffin Johnson a so they didn’t have anybody no stretch were they supposed to drop this lead I don’t care what was going on what was the money line like halfway through when they’re down got up to plus 5,000 or something

It was crazy crazy money value I never picked the right one well no one I think I don’t think anybody took that somebody had I guarantee you one person some somebody did some Super Fan was like Stones than me well 10 bucks I mean it’s it’s worth it um LeBron recently said

That Steph Curry single-handedly changed the quote no lead is safe narrative it’s kind of the opposite of what we’ve been seeing in college but you get up that big is he right like the no lead is safe I’m disagreeing okay I’m disag I’m disagreeing with with the single-handedly part okay now Steph

Curry and the Warriors what they did was they were Innovative they did change the game up until we saw those guys we didn’t see any team playing you know using the three-point line how they used it they used the three-point line as a threat you know they were trading threes

For twos they were stopping in fast breaks shooting three-pointers kicking it out two for ones two for a dollar constantly shooting three-point shots and they changed their game now I can’t recall a scenario where they were down a bunch of 15 and 20s where they had to

Use that as a tool I thought they used that as something to blow teams out you know you look at the Hawks last night they used the three-point line to their advantage they shot 50% from the three 18 from 36 from that line on 30 assists

You you know anytime you get 30 assists you give yourself an opportunity to put a lot of points on the board so as far as Braun saying he single-handedly changed the no leader safe narrative I don’t agree with that but you know they did do some damage I think it’s just

Like with the pace of play that teams are playing so fast like you said the three-point line that and no one plays defense seems to be anymore so if you go cold and you don’t score for a four to8 minute stretch you don’t get to the foul

Line you get no stops yeah a team can go and they’re going to take 12 13 threes and they make eight of them they’re right back in the game so from that aspect yes I think the pace to play the talent the elite shooting the amount of

Three points they are taken it’s easier to come back with that being said but again like L said the the responsible single-handedly I don’t know about that but it is true just because there’s minimal defense and there’s really good offense give the league credit ever since Allstar break scores have been

Down me watching the game knowing the game been able to play the game for so long I’m noticing they’re letting a lot of stuff go that in in recent history they wouldn’t you know the Tic Tac fouls and all of that it seems like they’ve corrected some of that and the games

Have been way more competitive so give the league credit for correcting this uh it was late in the fourth quarter the Hawks announcers had a couple thoughts uh specifically about Jason Tatum boy Jason Tatum does a lot of complaining who does he think he is Caitlyn

Clark you think he is who Caitlyn Clark oh boy thoughts oh and by the way does he need to stop complaining I when it comes to complaining Jason Tatum doesn’t jump out to me no not my first listen if you drop a 30-point lead and you’re

Starting to if you you’re up 30 and you’re seeing that lead dwindle down and you think there are some things going on that that has to do with the whistles I can see him being a complainer last night but he doesn’t have a history of this so yeah like Luca complains Chris

Paul complains there’s other guys that I think of more than Jason Tatum but again this this announcer is paid by by the and what does he have against kayln Clark well well because on Saturday she was planing in the game and her dad was actually in the stands yelling at her to

Shut up and play so it got to the point where like pops was not happy with her and now we’re all on it okay yeah Caitlyn Clark and by the way it’s a good problem to have everyone’s talking about I will say it is exhausting and I hate

The whole I hate the players at every play call go like this’ll be 5 seconds in the game and like especially when you know you’re wrong it’s so stupid the it’s more theater than it’s also sometimes a guy that like no one’s looking at you for this like you’re not

Going to get this one no one cares really this common style shoot your free throws let’s keep playing this seems like a little bit of hate from this guy because I don’t think of Tatum as a whiny guy like I feel like he’s not that guy Draymond Green like that sure

There’s other guys where like I see it but Tatum I don’t see it yeah that’s fair I mean I I don’t know I guess maybe this is a oneoff maybe this is a personal beat as a one or hear me out he might have just thought he had himself

Won hell of a funny line and was going to get it in somewhere yeah and that’s probably yeah he rehearsed that theer more I got one throw this one person complains it didn’t hit how he thought it hit cuz I had no was talking did not

Slap did not slap while these two teams play again in Atlanta on Thursday weird scheduling um moving on Philly putting the house on the Celtics in that game by the way the house wow which house that sounds scary jab sabonis breaks the record they defeat the Sixers

10896 he’s got his 25th triple double of the season 54 straight double double passes Kevin Love for most since the merer um afterwards Mike Brown said sabonis should be in the MVP conversation there’s Caleb uh congratulating I mean look he’s his coach conversation sure but okay yeah

How far are we taking this I don’t think the conversation should be it ends now there’s no conversation he’s not he’s not winning it that was the whole conversation I don’t think the conversation should be about him but can we put him in there for the stats that

He’s put up sure but you know this is when we start having that conversation about does winning affect this right cause he’s he’s is he impacting the game more than joic for his team is he impacting the game more than SGA for his team Jason Tatum is going to be in that

Conversation if you take Luca off of the Dallas Mavericks who knows what shape they’ll be in even even having Kyrie and so do we put them in the conversation sure but it’s it’s going to be a short one I don’t even want to put him in the conversation when you impact your team

You win games he’s not won a lot of games they’re in the seventh spot they’re in the play L’s in what I don’t think he’s going to win it either I think it’s a Runway Y and SGA and then maybe Tatum to me because winning is the most important

Thing when I think you’re voting so is Luka in the conversation if if no is Luka I want to say argum you know Luka’s in that convers I want to say but what’s the conversation how big is this conversation that’s what I mean is he the fourth option for fine how long is

This conversation we’re doing five he’s not going to be the runner up we were speaking about it off camera how many guys if Jo never got hurt he would be even that would lower so no I don’t think there’s any conversation we take L out of the conversation as well yeah

Don’t talk he’s not going to win MVP what are you doing out of here confidence uh my point is I think this is gonna the whole how who do we talk about now underrated we don’t talk about sabonis Now We’re Not Gon to not not talk about him again you know what I

Mean so I think this is going to be a blessing in disguise for him where he’s now yeah it took 25 trip doubles and it took all this this crazy run of double doubles for us to talk about him but he’s becoming now someone that we’re talking about he’s now getting the

Flowers he deserves everyone knows that he should have made the All-Star team he didn’t but now I will say he’s got a chance at all NBA he’ll make all NBA which is more important which is more money bigger bonuses everything for him than making the All-Star game so purely

As a fan I hope he’s not in any conversation in the Sacramento Kings go into the postseason pissed off and they become very disruptive the problem is the voting will be done already so that won’t even overlooked at Allstar he’s not going to be in the MVP conversation you said all

NBA he might make that based on I make 13 te all NBA I think he’ll make third Team all NBA that six seven seed is good enough to do that there’s a lot of you know guys that are going to make it over him than the first team and second team

So I think his only shot would be who’s your updated MVP pick right now it’s not up it’s the same it’s always been it’s yic you staying there that’s staying there I’m still SGA I like this for you guys you’re just again you’re just doubling down

You just did because you said Luc is not in the MVP conversation and you know good damn well he is he sure we can talk about it but he’s not a real option you wouldn’t put any stock you wouldn’t bet you Pi I think SGA is the guy no you

Don’t yes I do you don’t think he does I don’t think he does I think but it’s like us thinking Chad still is the Rookie of the Year it’s cute I know when you guys say it I’m like mean I want I want to be right but we’re probably not

You’re not to% not right um okay so what was it it was 54 straight double doubles that’s crazy the uh the record is Wilt with 227 oh my God dear God need Point G what let’s give it a percent chance him getting there zero zero I don’t I don’t

Think there’s any way by the way you know how hard that is to not get like hurt or ejected or something and not finish with the double double like it’s not it’s if he plays those games in a row yeah he’s going to have an off night

Right like that how many what is it would you say 2 yeah I can’t I’m the guy that wants to challenge all records before 1975 you can I’m I’m not going to Har why is that I just feels like you know it was it was a time where you kind

Of had to spice things up to make it interesting this never sprained his anle has nothing to do with wilt personally so before all the wilt people come for me I’m just saying people all of these stats are just funny to me he lived a full life he’s had more sex than double

Dou and there it is I was hoping we’d get there and I didn’t even more partners he more part that’s what I’m saying he was a very active man and still a couple well we were going to talk about shape around the leag he never did none

Of that by the way come on let’s keep he was not on a load management I’ll tell you that oh Clippers man what is 133 11 16 they lose to the Pacers six of their last nine are now L’s uh they’ve lost their last two by an

Average of 16 points and they’ve dropped to five in the west Pelicans own that tiebreaker afterwards tyo said that the team was quote oo soft Lou what do you think about those comments my first thought is um this is this is this is where Russell Westbrook’s impact is missed you know

He’s the guy that’s going to bring that physicality he’s the one that’s going to talk the trash just going to get him going he’s going to be their energy guy and I don’t know who’s going to I don’t know who’s going to be the guy that’s

Going to wear that hat for them with him being out I think this is where his impact has missed the most so tou coming out and saying that you know there’s s they’re not playing with a lot of physicality it’s a Russell Westbrook thing for me yeah and this this is weird

To me because this is an older team right this is experienced team the sevette team that has extreme depth too so even and Russ came back last night he played 18 only played 18 minutes but like he had 14 and he played but but again that is he’s kind of like the

Motor right so when he went out I think they had a little let down which is crazy because they still have this big three that can and can go give you 30 points they still have the Personnel to be a really good defensive team look at

Paul George and Ka Leonard those are two of the great two-way players that can still defend and score points so this is a team that it’s not like a team on the rise this is the team that’s built right now to win a championship so when they

Have these skids like this it’s it’s pretty concerning especially now that they’re they don’t even have home court right now to the Pelicans who no one’s talking about so it’s definitely again and this is the time I think it’s most important time where after All-Star before the playoff season where teams

Kind of come together or they Splinter and they go in different ways this team this team right now the Suns teams like that they seem to go in the other way than they should be isn’t the whole point of this Clippers team the depth that we talk about that they have and

Just doesn’t you know one guy goes out something weird happens and I don’t understand that watching why you would be losing these a lack of an identity is what Lou talked about as well not you tyou and I don’t know what the identity is if you were to say the Clippers

Identity is BL that’s I mean that’s an interesting point because for me when you have kawh Leonard Paul George James Harden I would I would say you’re a high-powered offensive team and on the flip side of that coin when you have a Kawhi Leonard and you have a Paul George

Who I played with and they took pride in defense I’ve watched them argue over who’s going to get a marquee match up before games I don’t know what the identity is of this team moving forward I think it should be defense I think it should be they should hold their they

Should hang their hats on playing defense and stopping teams and you got plenty plenty of enough guys to score the basketball so it should be on the defensive end what they focus on yeah I think this is their this is their problem they don’t have an identity they’re 18th in defensive rating they

They should be top five and offensively they’re fourth so I think they have the capability and they have the the team and the Personnel to be top five in both they’re pretty they’re the one of the most complete teams when you look at offensive skill set defensive guys depth

Coaching they have it all so it is it kind of it’s mindboggling when you see a team like this with this much talent struggle like this especially at this point of the season um the Knicks played as well last night this was the I mean it wasn’t even entertaining at some

Point but Dante Devan chenzo had 40 including 11 of 20 from three in the big win uh Pistons coach Bonnie Williams criticized him for stat padding Josh Hart responded by saying Monty should have told his guys to defend better these are all valid points Lou whose

Side are you on I am smack dead in the middle what that’s not a thing I hate that I disagree with you so much today how are you not agreeing with a NBA player just making 11 threes in NBA suppos to feel bad for the Pistons because they suck and Camp defense so

Again he shot 23p pointers so him shooting seven in the fourth quarter isn’t a surprise to me he’s going for it he wants to see how many points he can get so I can see money’s point on that and I also say guard me yeah and by

The way the tape a lot of them he’s wide open so yeah do something do something about it never he heard a coach complain about somebody shooting and making this many like what like he shot 50 from three D yeah he shot better than 503 and

He was wide open on more than half of them so if you have a problem with it adapt your defense change your defensive principles double team him which is crazy I think you’re going to double team Dante demenzo but if he’s the one that’s pissing you off to where you’re

That upset that he’s making threes the guy made 11 threes in the NBA game like buzz off it’s a great game think it’s probably not just about Dante it’s probably the season as they’ve lost a lot worse than this and I never heard comments like this of guys going he got

A lot of places he can he can spray his frustration around what is this he mercy rule like you said Uncle in this game for Don V hitting 11 threes this is whack by the way this n team I just hope they get healthy it’s going to be fun

That’s all that’s they’re tough my two cents um Rockets good God what’s going on they’ve won their ninth straight uh beating Portland 11092 now the longest win streak in the NBA right now they are a half game back of the Warriors for the 10 spot dear

Lord J once again they really are like they’re in trouble Jaylen green had his 27 but he was nine of 26 from the field you know if we want to narrow it down to one dude on this team Lou where are you putting this kind of give it to Jaylen

Green since has been out they’ve played a brand of basketball that works for him they’re playing fast they’re playing Up Tempo and and and he’s eating off of it 9 for 26 a 9 for 27 whatever he was last night he’s going to have those type of

Games with the shot selection that he has but he’s played a high clip and it’s been working for him so I’m gonna give that that credit to Jaylen green yeah we kind of touched on this team they’re they’re playing so free where since s goon went out they didn’t have

Expectations with s so now you put out arguably your best player for the season you’re kind of out of the play in these guys are playing loose they’re playing confident Jaylen green has now find a way to be except last night where he took 26 shots to 27 points he’s been

Efficient he’s shooting 45 from the 352 I think it was from yesterday from the field so he’s been getting to his spots but he’s been converting he’s been making these shots he’s been great you know what you’re going to get with Van vet you know what you’re going to get

With Dylan Brooks so for them to take that next step we talked about yesterday they’re both up for extension are they like are you going to pay both of these that’s your core going forward they got to figure it out cuz it’s all they kind of they got to figure it out obviously

It they didn’t it didn’t work together so I mean that’s the weirdest part yeah but you know uh one underrated thing we not talking about is they have no zero pressure on them it’s so easy to go out and compete at a high level when you don’t have the expectations of being

Great on your side you know I was on a Clippers team we traded Blake Griffin they thought it was over I remember I told the guys listen play hard as you can live with the results and we end up going on a historic run the Houston

Rockets are on the brink of doing that s goon goes down it’s like hey what we got to lose let’s just play hard let’s see what happens and it’s been working for him how much of this is yoka I mean it’s I mean he’s a great coach he’s a great

Coach and this is again this is a team the Rockets have with zero expectations and this a team The Warriors with all the expectations so it couldn’t be two opposite ends of the spectrum here and again they’re just playing do they play again do we know I don’t I can’t look that

Up but I will say we looking at the schedule the rocket schedule was extremely light during this stretch and it’s about to get you know a lot play wait did I just make that up you probably did yeah they play Thursday but oh yeah that’s right and by way and

Their schedule is going to get a lot harder so we’ll see listen they have a chance they’re right there to make the plan they’ve been through with their best player out we said they had no shot zero shot a month ago not even maybe three weeks by the way if the Warriors

Would just win half of their games this wouldn’t even be a conversation is that how this works you got to win the game more literally just got a that’s it okay make sure I understood how this works uh it’s crazy but we nine game winning streak from the Houston Rockets

The best player goes down we nobody could predict would not have bet that one um the biggest game of the night obviously though is this next one Suns oh go here we go uh 104 102 Phoenix loses to San Antonio there’s no Victor wanyama out there uh Katie and Booker

Combined for 65 Royce O’Neal the only other Suns player in double digits afterwards Frank Bogle called The Lost quote unacceptable that is just rude how alarming would you say this loss is for this Phoenix team at this point in the season it sucks when a loss is unacceptable like that sucks that’s not

A good look for San Antonio Michelle it’s it’s I mean listen no the sun’s fully healthy they’re big three in the lineup and no Wim and Yama and you smoke this game at this point of the Season again this is what I’m talking about with the Clipper situation is this is

When you kind of come together this is when you Peak this is when you get that momentum into the playoffs and it seems like the Clippers and the Suns have kind of hit a snag where they’re going the other way and they had good like I mean

Durant had 29 Deon Booker had 36 but then you have Beal has an off night where he’s four for 11 grce nen nked so for them I think they’re still a scary team just because as a player you know okay but when are they going to start

Putting fear in somebody if they’re a scary team when are they going to start putting pressure on these teams I don’t know cuz a loss like this again I know it’s a long season you can’t be perfect it is you know they’ve lost three of the

Four though this year the Spurs that is and maybe we can CH this up to Spurs might have that number mismatch but again like I don’t know I don’t know it’s I think you fear this team if you draw them in the playoffs just because

Of on paper and you know what they can do but at this point but now the film doesn’t lie like now if I’m playing them it’s like all right come on guys at this point I’m not scared at all actually I’m kind of looking forward to this matchup

I’m still scared Dam I’m still scared I mean we should be listen we should be but what I’m saying is as a player you know you go through the progressions of a season you’re like man I hate to match up with that team I hate to match up

With that team as the season go on you like you know what doesn’t look so bad like Sun’s Timber right now who you got first you know what I mean I can’t just take the timber wolves me scary I can’t just take the Timberwolves but which is crazy they they’re unbelievable they’re

49 and 22 Anthony Edwards and they still can’t take them cuz that team on paper the Phoenix is still terrifying what about the do any of these teams Clippers Suns t-wolves do any of them even pose a threat to the nuggets and your opinion

All of them do yeah I I think I think I think all of them do they all can give them a battle I think the nuggets are the best team I think they’re the best starting five and they have the best player we’re still talking about three

Teams that have that’s that’s going to finish the season with 50 plus wins your eighth place team is 42 and 30 it’s just a weird year a crazy year like it’s a lot of success look at two through four right there the Thunder the Timberwolves the Pelicans those are both great teams

And the conference is deep nobody fears those three teams nobody and they’re the second third and fourth rank team in the western I think I think today is the day we should I fear the more than I fear the timber wolves and we say that and and then we

Watch the progressions of the season and we’re like yo at this point we should take these people completely I know it’s crazy cuz my eyes see the Thunder and the Timberwolves dominate every single night and continue to win and I keep seeing the go the other way feel like

That because the team we’ve seen those players do it in the postseason before we’ve never seen these cats do it so I don’t think I don’t think I’m not I’m not disagreeing with yeah I’m not disagreeing with Chandler it’s just 70 games in these teams are who they are

It’s funny like the timberos went on a slide like this I’m like a they sucks do it I’m like ah they’s still time so right now that’s that’s the match up right who’s number one again I just missed it nuggets all right well nuggets will beat the Suns you wouldn’t pick the

Nuggets over the Suns yes I would there you go yes I would though yeah I would pick them over but none of the other ones no no OKC no Timberwolves no Clippers you like the Suns in all those matchups I just want to know man it’s

Tough I don’t know I got to see the health when it gets there I’m not try to hear that do you the Clippers I think POS the biggest threat to beat this Suns I still I think the Suns and the against the Thunder and the timber WS I think it

Would be a dog fight and I don’t know who I’d bet on I bet on the Clippers yeah that’s what I’m saying out of those three teams I take the Clippers the best chance to beat the Suns in a series Oklahoma City Thunder beating Phoenix Sun I don’t trust them I don’t trust

Them they haven’t done it yet next year once they do and they Advance they go to Western Conference Finals techically the Phoenix Haven either I’ll buy the stock the Phoenix Suns Haven but I know how capable those guys are I know Kevin Durant has yeah Kevin Durant has yeah

Okay yeah he has his reasons they made flawed but he has them and that’s okay and I think they’ll be I don’t think when if those match up I don’t think it’d be I think the Suns as a seven or eight seed I think they’d be favored it in a

Lot of those games I think OD makers and the guys making the spreads also feel this way I totally agree with you on paper on paper in reality it’s just not happening we we hadn’t seen it by the way this is awesome they had had a

Stretch of games where we like okay this who this this is the Phoenix sence team we I don’t remember a playoff year where the one through eight is is just as interesting as the four through five you know what I me this is awesome even play

Even to play in a 4 Kings Mavs Lakers boers I watch right now play’s almost unfair actually like somebody these guys are going to go home and those four playin teams would would get home court in the Eastern Conference right now outside the Bucks and the in the you know what I

Mean those teams would finish third or fourth in the Eastern Conference well it’s too bad besides the Warriors I don’t trust them well I’m glad you mentioned the Eastern Conference because there was a game over there there we need to talk about Wizards Bulls uh Jordan p and Alex kuso hey just getting

A little snippy here Caruso did get a FL one okay flager at one only uhhuh I feel like he almost should get tossed for this you think so I mean it’s not exactly a basketball play feels like it was both ways though no isn’t it crazy if this didn’t happen there’s no shot

We’re talking about this game no we’re not talking about although the Wizards do have the longest win streak right now in the east at three games wow take vacation with go toak go to break just roll the commercial wait no comment you mean there’s a big Caruso pool

Rivalry I think it honestly was a feel like too I love Caruso and I think I think Jordan pulled I think he almost flopped a little bit in the beginning it wasn’t that physical for p to start this but that wasn’t a basketball play he

Damn near he tackled him I mean Lou says who cares so I think that is where we take a break that’s where the Mark is we’re going to take a quick break when we come back a little you buying that on running back run it back back it up it back it up

Back you buying that all right Lou we’re ow we’re going to start with you red this is a weird one for me um ESPN’s Mike greenber greeny said that Yukon could make the play in tournament in the Eastern Conference and by the way greedy’s not a clickbait guy I’m going

To I want want to prep that no he really isn’t I work with the dude but he said it Lou what do you think you buying that he’s full of damn you know so as it as it stands greeny Yukon can beat the Atlanta Hawks tonight I mean I’d like to

See it Yukon might lose this comp with the Chicago Bulls right now Miami Heat are in the play in can they beat the Miami he well that’s I mean that’s a tricky one they might not even win the NCAA Championship I don’t have a win they probably won’t let alone compete

For a playin spot in the National Basketball Association this is this is crazy why are y’all so sensitive when we bring up these colle well this is because it’s a it’s because we work very hard at being professional athletes for people to wake up and think are going to

Be the best player go to class the best player on Yukon wouldn’t play on the Detroit Pistons right now so how the hell would this college basketball team be any of these teams that are in contention to make the NBA Playoffs this is just stupid this is ignorant and I

Don’t know the guy seems very it seems very click bating and when I tell you he is not look I can give you a list of 20 dudes that are click the Pistons and the Wizards would beat the Huskies by 2 the the Wizards and the Pistons would beat them by 25

Points and it wouldn’t even be closed they would run them out the gym I’ve seen better Yukon teams I wish scientists would work on this simulator thing that I would like done so we could actually put these arguments to rest like how would this work no let’s just

Line it up find the find the the starting five for Yukon come to UCLA in the summer and see if you can it beat some of these teams you could charge money for that it would never happen guys like this they could just say it

It’s it’s it’s it’s one of the most 35 second shot clock ain’t going to cut it damn greeny pissing off the NBA today I did not have that on the open GO card all right well I’m glad this next one’s coming up um the play in they’re going

To beat Jimmy Butler and the you’re picking the heat too I mean well they’re in the play he said he said it not me to answer your question hell no we’re not buying 76ers the 76ers they’re going to be without emid maybe uh I’m I’m kidding God sensitive cavius cwell Pope said a

Healthy Sun’s team is the Nuggets biggest threat huh weird we kind of just talked about that but it’s coming from a Nuggets player this time hello I just said this they are terrifying cuz we know how good they can be again nobody fears the Thunder nobody fears the

Timber wolves until they show it to us andove it to us I would love to be coming up here next year and saying wow the Thunder they took that step I believe in them I think they’re the favorite to win at all this year because of what they did last season they

Haven’t done that yet so yes I think the Suns as a team they have the talent they have a big they have shooting they have defensive capability they have Kevin Durant Devin Booker Bradley Beal that is hard to beat no matter what the record is for four games that’s very very hard

To do so Casey players know players know he’s gloating he’s like Casey peace no we I agree that’s incred the Phoenix are a scary team on paper my problem is is when does it translate to the games and the playoffs would be the only right

Answer I would hope so I I want to see it I want them to be one of the more entertaining teams that we can watch in the playoffs I just hadn’t seen it up until this point so I understand kyp’s position nothing wrong with Lou being a

Prove it guy no it’s fine like you’re like you’re into like words and stuff and he’s in I want the Thunder to prove it he wants the sun he wants we both we just want to see it I just want to see it we just want to see it yeah I’m

Buying it though I I I can understand it I mean I can’t how could you disagree he said it about his own team it’s hard to argue uh Lou Isaiah Thomas said Stefan Marberry should be in the Hall of Fame are you buying that I’m buying I think I

Think Stephon Marberry had a Hall of Fame career you know but this comes down to reputation it got a little weird at the end sure um for starberry and and it some of the Antics and stuff and and you know how our Sports media likes to kind

Of run with things you know lucky for him he played pre social media you know I think oh man at the end of his run it it it got very interesting and that led to him being legendary in China having his own statue in China and going over there changing the game changing

Basketball culture and creating something very special with his shoes and everything I think he’s a Hall of Fame guy so I’m buying two-time Allstar two-time third team NBA all NBA there’s a lot of guys that have done that that AR guys in that’s done less stuff there’s what that’s there’s guys in the

H of Fame that have done less than that yeah but there’s also a lot of guys that have done that that aren’t so I think it’s a fren I think it’s a convers ation but as like he’s in the conversation yeah he’s in the conversation like Luka for

MVP the conversation you like yes or no no okay I know all right not buying it fair enough like I’d rather like Blake Griffin to like there’s there’s a lot of other players I think that have had that kind of resume with less issues than than him that deserve what the issues

Got to do with it so that’s what I’m saying is is it about the issues is it about some of the stuff that happened his best aades are two time allar two-time all NBA third team Hall of Fame those are the stats but you can you’re a

Basketball player you can look out there and see the impact that he had yeah he was great he was I loved them I it was great hall of fame I think has gotten a little water down if we’re talking two-time Allstars in the Hall of Fame I

Think a lot of Halls of Fame have gotten a little bit two time allar it’s it’s hard yeah it’s getting weird um here you go Klay Thompson said that Jonathan kaminga might be the best athlete in the NBA Chandler are you buying that I mean he’s a freak you see some highlights he

Punches on people we still at you look at guys like Zion and jaw and Anthony Edwards James LeBron J LeBron James but this kid is a freak and he’s long and he’s tall and he’s athletic so yeah why not I’m buying it he’s young once you had the word best obviously that opens

It up I’m not buying I think this comes from things that they probably see behind the scenes at practice and all of that but during games we don’t have those a bunch of wow moments when it comes to Jonathan kaminga last season so when you talk about the best of

Something that’s a high standard I’m not rolling I’ve seen LeBron James be the best athlete on the floor for two decades yeah that’s still crazy and he’s still in the NBA until he said this and when you asked me the most athletic guys I wouldn’t have said his name you I mean

But now that he say his name I’m like yeah I can see it is he in the conversation he’s in the combo okay he’s in the combo in the conversation this guy standard today is all over the place to he’s top five changes uh Lou sha said

That Anthony Edwards reminds him of a young dwade and a young Kobe are you buying that um let me I want I just want a sample let me see because I like the dwade comparison you do like that I do like that the style of play he he has a

Lot of DW um Kobe is different Kobe is different I think that’s something that uh Ant-Man can he can get himself to he can get himself to that place um I don’t I don’t see that one yet I do see D way how he plays he’s a slasher can shooter

Puts a lot of pressure on people at The Rim uses his strength to his um to his advantage Kobe was different Kobe was a stone cold killer so uh sample size so maybe D way with a splash he did say young Kobe does that help a little bit okay young me

Young where he’s confident he’s going to take a lot of shots he believes he’s the best player on the earth I see I see the similarities young I like that he put young there I I like this I’m buying this all right with with with that thank

You Chandler I’ll take it I’m buying okay we’re buying it yeah woo we we agree on something finally all right Chandler the LeBron said that Steph and Iverson are the two biggest influential guys in the NBA since he started is mine first too go here’s the thing I think

Steph Curry changed the game of basketball I think every kid in the world wants to shoot from halfcourt and wants to become a three-point shooter because of Steph Curry Allan Iverson changed the game from the dress code how he dressed the doag cornrow how his style the baggie clothes yes that point

The most influential guy in the NBA is probably Michael Jordan who’s the job man who’s the logo the biggest brand in the world the arguably the best player of all time guy he was saying no one wants to be like Michael Jordan I’m like there’s literally a saying that says I

Want to be like Mike that everybody wants Michael Jord I’m giving you the keep going you know there’s no world in which LeBron James is going to say Michael Jordan see I think he should and again these are both good answers but when I think of the game of basketball

And maybe not kids now that are obsessed with Steph Curry kids but I think when people think basketball when they think NBA they think influential they think Michael Jordan everyone thinks he’s the goat besides the new LeBron people no one think Steph Curry and Allen Iverson

Are go as good as they are so when I’m thinking of influence and production and everything and the brand of Jordan and Jumpman that’s just to me that’s hard to beat he’s the most famous biggest basketball star ever and he didn’t even play in the ERA with social media and

All this stuff now can you imagine if you played now with can I go now yeah yes you can your mom probably has a pair of Yeezy does that mean she like Kanye West leave Terry Parson out yeah Terry doesn’t have does that mean that she

Likes Kanye West no the does no she has you know she has she has Jordan she does not have Yeezys FaceTime her right now but a th% she has Michael Jordan Sho listen kids did kids want to be like Mike in the 90s they absolutely did yeah

I did you did like right kids that that were born in the 2000s they know they have an idea of who Michael Jordan was because of their parents absolutely they just know the shoes because they’re they know the brand it it’s not it’s not directly related to the person it’s not

Directly related to basketball what Michael Jordan did on the basketball floor when it comes to influence these kids I’m I’m in these a gyms every weekend all of them are shooting from half court all of them are shooting three-pointers turning around before the shot is up everybody in the NBA has

Tattoos cornrows the whole thing jewelry all of that comes from Alan Iverson on the basketball side how the the whole game how the entirety and all these analytics this is a Steph Curry influence thing so when we talk about influence I’m definitely agreeing with this generation Steph Curry and alen

Aers bigest they come now Michael Jordan did have his impact was the most influential but it moves on it grows and I guess generation there’s different when generational it’s a generational thing you don’t think there’s kids now that want to jump from the freether line and stick their tongue out and still

Want to be like they don’t where are they they shooting from half court by the way the era of they can I say this the argument would be one thing if he just had said stuff but he brings in alen Iverson so the era is represented changed the whole like David

Stern had to change the little dress code that’s influence that that makes sense and again I understand what you’re saying with basketball wise not people em not as many people emulate their their games as Michael Jordan we talking about you you’re holding your argument on a Jordan brand yeah because it’s the

Biggest brand and I think he’s the and that’s what we agree that’s what we agree he is Michael Jordan but that brand stands alone that brand is not a direct correlation of Michael Jordan to this day if that’s the case kids will be wearing the the Jordan 30s or 33s or 38s

Or whatever it’s just Timeless like the Jordan when have you when have you bought a pair of Jordans that haven’t been retroed I don’t know a pair of Steph Curry’s these kids do you don’t and I guarantee you the same kids that have them they at least have a pair of

MJS retro fine got them all not the new no no one wears Team Jordans but I guarantee the same kid has the 11s or the fours influence that’s influence Michael Jordan the Jumpman logo is more famous than the NBA logo I agree with you the Jumpman logo we’re talking about

But it had to come from somewhere maybe they don’t know why it’s influential but the influence comes from Michael can you imagine him nowadays with and everything he’d be 10 times more famous than these dud we saying that like Michael Jordan is like Michael Jordan is still Michael Jordan yeah but

If he was having to be Michael Jordan the player right now he’d be looking at some possible suspensions I’m tell you that right moving on uh Lou Paul Pierce I love it when it starts with Paul Pierce said he said said James Harden is a bigger superstar than kawhai Leonard

Are you buying that I’m buying me too yeah I’m buying so when you talk about Superstar that’s everything that’s on the court off the court kawh Leonard doesn’t care to be a personality James Harden is a much bigger superstar when it comes to the everything that he represents I’m buying yeah James

Harden’s a is it just because we James Harden’s a full-blown celebrity Leonard is like James Harden goes to the you know fashion weeks and he is he Embraces that role of being a star and hanging out with rappers and doing all that stuff kawh Leonard does it he doesn’t

Care he lives in Orange County takes a chopper to practice for God’s sakes he could care less you’re not going to see Ka lter at Craigs tonight you’re going to see James Harden in the trendiest coolest place we are yeah is Craig still it kawai’s a helicopter guy how

Interesting huh he’s a chopper guy I know why I just said that I’m saying he takes a CH he doesn’t care he doesn’t want to be SE he’s not going to are you a helicopter guys I’m a helicopter I’ve never been in a helicop dude you and I

Cuz we don’t you know do that we’re get a block shot on R still no play defense all right here we go uh Victor wiama said Rudy goar deserves Defensive Player of the Year this season but after that it’s no longer his turn you buying that this is goar’s last season this is

The coolest thing he’s ever said so far this is awesome I’m buying it it’s probably true too like I believe that he’s going to take over this award I think he could run off five six seven in a row of them he’s got that potential he’s got that Talent they know each

Other obviously from France too and this is I think this is friendly banter but it’s true Rudy Gober he’s going to win it this year he deserves to win it he’s had a great year but I think it’s I think it’s Wim for the taking I think

The whole league is wimby for the taking let alone Defensive Player of the Year like that yeah I like it I like it I’m buying it’s GNA be a fun ride yeah I like it okay that’s all I have to add to that all right we’re going to take a

Quick break when we come back more run it back that’s all I got I just like to hear it back uh Phill the lane time you know instead of that it’s actually fill in the blank get it okay the game has been set nicolea yic Chandler is a top player

Of all time he’s a top 20 player of all time and it’s only going to keep going once he gets his third MVP this season ahead of SGA Lou it’s hard again there’s a lot of guys with great careers that played a really long time I’m actually kind of

Looking at the list too and I’m through the 20 and he’s not on here what yeah he’s of all time but like I again I have my takes on older players and I respect them and I love what they’ve done but I think joic now the stats he puts up the

The MVPs him getting three MVPs alone should put him in the top 15 that’s crazy he’s not on a top 75 team so far so they redid it they redid it they would definitely where is he remove somebody but until then really so you’re going off that list yeah why not

You know that list 75 guys that there are at least Rick Barry you’re not putting joic in the top 75 of all time top 25 I’m putting him top I’m trying possibly put I’ll put him top 50 of all time top 50 who you got you got Bob P

Are we GNA do all the 49 before him let’s go okay George mik yeah he was good oh we’re going to poop on the old guys now I’m saying like yic right now yic I’m just saying top 50 that’s just that’s that’s not an educated guest Giannis is there’s there’s 10 guys in

The NBA right now that are top 50 ad oh my god listen ad is on the list isn’t he Giannis Kevin Durant LeBron Steph Curry joic embiid’s probably top 50 for God’s sakes what do you mean yic we got to redo the list yeah that that list changes every year problem is they

Didn’t top 50 okay here we go where where were you where were you rank joic in cers alone I think I love Shaq I think he’s the most dominant Kareem’s career hakee Lan good one and then by the way I’m probably going him wil’s got a crazy resume but like so you’re

Putting him top top five Center of all time top five centers of all time so if he’s a top five Center of all time 100% top 20 I think he’s yeah hakee is I think it’s still a lot of work to do but I but I think he finishes top 20 for

Sure okay okay old Chamberlain I think he finishes top 20 sure but it’s a lot of work to do Bill Russell fair enough Lou Lou wants to see more and that’s how much more do you want fifth fourth mean two MVPs and one Championship that’s pretty good but Shaq Shaq is Shaq

He’s got three Keem Elijah one is a Kem Elijah one okay butthis is a power forward he’s the best power forward of all right but I’m not just talking about centers no more so we talking about all the time yeah we talking about everything so it’s it’s

Guys off the top of my head that are four and fives are yage better career give me Dirk right now you want one MVP one Championship one championship in three MVPs he doesn’t have three he got two he’s going to have three but he doesn’t have it yet Lou can you just

Join us it’s on the way dude no I’m not going it’s on the way dude it’s it’s totally done all right fine Lou which player is the most underrated in the NBA this season got to be sabonis not any more though the way we’re gassing about

Got okay we got to go to the Pelicans then because that’s the other team we never talked about somebody else but most most underrated player got to be sabonis no Allstar and you know you lead the league in triple doubles nobody’s talking about it just break a record for

Double doubles nobody’s talking about it don’t make an Allstar team probably is not going to be in an MVP conversation that ranks is underrated to me it’s a bonus or maybe even Fox you know who else is killing this year we’re not talking about all is Kyrie Irving the

Guys’s have having an unbelievable season he’s going he’s so famous give give Kyrie Kyrie Irving has been unbelievable this year and just hooping and being very very productive but it’s probably sabonis it’s probably sabonis uh Chandler picking from all the current NBA players who would be the best big

Two you could put together now what does this me I was is this like a two on two game like CU a Duo maybe like two people you could literally like joic and Steph Curry to me would be nasty but again if then if I wanted to play the two on two though

Like Giannis and KD or they would beat them two on two because you know who’s going to guard them but if I had my Duo going forward in their prime or whatever right now I’m doing Steph and joic give me wimi and KD I just want to see two

Seven Footers they would probably beat Stephan Yin 212 just give me seven Footers that can do everything that’s a lot of length that’s a lot of length easy cowboy yeah let’s settle down um all right which player Lou is under the most pressure for the final hold on you

Skipped one cuz I would think all time two players I would go Steph and sha like what’s I didn’t skip it let me host the show if your computer wasn’t a prop you’d see we moved on already but you have a computer that’s not even turned

On in front of what’s a better than Stephan Shack I watch out that one was interesting we don’t have time for that cuz you’re yapping over here go on no no put your computer on for the love of every Stephan Sha’s a nasty Duo I like

Stephan Sha of all time that’s what you wanted to get you Jesus me do you feel better now you got the important information I was just thinking about that like Stephan Jack okay so now we’re going to break yeah now we don’t get to answer the other

Questions yeah we’re going to go to break I I don’t know what’s happening right let’s take a Brea in we’re going to teach Chandler how to turn his computer on moving forward so that it actually does something we’ll be right back it back y PF get in all the new NBA buzzer

Assist I wanted to to make something a little splashy make it fun for everybody I’m going Luca with the first basket oh that’s how you get rich that’s not how it works okay uh and fox over two and a half plus 450 though but that’s how I

  1. Lol @ media COMPLETELY IGNORING GIANNIS and the. Talking about Sabonis mvp odds 😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

  2. Im still taking Dirk over Jokic at this moment. Its not even a lock that he's gonna win MVP with Luka, Shai, and Giannis all right there.

  3. Question: would ANY of these “top 50” guys, playing NOW when touching a guys finger results in a foul, playing in the “rock em sock ‘em” 90s, still be top 50???? 😮😏🥴🤔maybe….. maybe not….jocic included!

  4. Luka is 8 game from the 1st seed in the west, when jokic won mvp as a 6th seed he was 18 game away from 1th seed.. Parson just saying he hates luka or he is a casual, not knowing mavs are 2.5 game from the 4th seed.

  5. AD beat by Lakers without LeBron @home beat by Houston @ home and now choke 30 pt lead against hawks without Trae???

  6. Michael Jordan was so influential that he made kids shave their head bald to be like mike

  7. Clippers and Suns seem to be relying on sheer talent rather than game planning and strategy. Ty Lue and Vogel need to tighten up. They starting to look like Doc Rivers out there…😅

  8. Dang Chandler and Lou are huge casuals regarding Sabonis and the Kings. Chandler mentions seeds but the difference in the west #4-#8 is a few games.
