In this episode, we dive into the latest happenings in the NBA, focusing on the Boston Celtics and their recent performances. We discuss the return of KP and how his presence has seemingly revitalized the Celtics, making them a formidable force in the league. The conversation shifts to the NBA Cup, where we debate its significance and the complex scenarios that could lead to a wild card spot for the Celtics. We express our frustrations with the tournament's rules and the midseason distractions it brings.

We also touch on the Thanksgiving festivities of some Celtics players, including Jayson Tatum's holiday with Evan Turner and a humorous clip from Blake Griffin at Pritchard's wedding. The episode takes a lighter turn as we discuss Thanksgiving dishes, with a surprising appreciation for green bean casserole and a critique of mashed potatoes.

As the episode progresses, we analyze the current standings in the NBA, highlighting surprising teams and potential threats in both the Eastern and Western Conferences. We express our concerns about certain teams and players, including the Golden State Warriors and their formidable lineup.

We also delve into the personal styles and brand ventures of Celtics players, particularly Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, discussing their shoe lines and fashion choices. The episode wraps up with a discussion on holiday shopping, reminiscing about Black Friday traditions, and the challenges of finding the perfect gifts.

[00:00:04] Unknown:

Alright. One of my takes is that we are the best team in the league.  

[00:00:08] Unknown:

Hot take. Hot take.  

[00:00:11] Unknown:

I mean,   we are we just score left and right   and wanna know the latest and the greatest.  

[00:00:21] Unknown:

What's the latest and the greatest?  

[00:00:23] Unknown:

The latest and the greatest is  

[00:00:25] Unknown:

KP is back. Yeah. It's November 29th. We're playing the Bulls right now.   30 to   20. Q1,   KP is back. 2nd game.  

[00:00:36] Unknown:

Haven't seen him play for a second yet, but I'm gonna do a good last game. I I I he did a little fake move, and then he went in, and he dunked it.  

[00:00:44] Unknown:

And for whatever reason, it seems like the Celtics are back now that he's back. They're so back. I mean,  

[00:00:51] Unknown:

they were good before, but now they are   elite, untouchable.   We're going   for banner 19.  

[00:01:00] Unknown:

Truly the best team in the league.  

[00:01:03] Unknown:

And I was saying that what's his name? Zach LaVine? I've never seen him play basketball in that one time.  

[00:01:10] Unknown:

I feel like you've probably seen him play basketball one time. No.  

[00:01:14] Unknown:

He has been hurt and his or his ego has been hurt.   Yeah. Maybe maybe both. Something he's been he has not been playing,   but he he's he's back too.  

[00:01:27] Unknown:

What are your thoughts on the NBA Cup? Do you care? Do you not care? Is it just a bonus if we win? Where do you fall on that?  

[00:01:35] Unknown:

I truly have no idea. I don't know what's going on, but   I know we should win.  

[00:01:42] Unknown:

We need to win. We need to win big.  

[00:01:44] Unknown:

Need to win, and we need to win big. But I guess this point, we can only get the wild card. Yeah. But there's 4 scenarios in which we can win this wild card.   What are the 4 scenarios? Okay. Hold on. I have to find it. So,   you know, give me a minute.  

[00:02:01] Unknown:

I have it right here. Okay.   I don't know about your 4 scenarios, but Tim Bondemps tweeted   about 6 o'clock today that winning in Chicago by at least 15 tonight, leaving Orlando,   who's plus 37 currently through 2 games as it's only likely competition for the wild card spot.   We win by at least 15 and Orlando loses in Brooklyn. I think they were up earlier.   We'll be virtually guaranteed the wild card spot.   If we win and Orlando wins, we need the Magic to beat the Knicks   or the Knicks to win by enough to push Orlando's point differential down below ours.  

[00:02:38] Unknown:

Well,   the listeners can't see right now, but I'm shaking my head   because this is far too much.  

[00:02:44] Unknown:

Of course, it is. That's why the NBA Cup sucks. It's  

[00:02:48] Unknown:

far too much. There are way too many roles. There's too many people involved,   too many cooks in the kick kitchen.   I get it. You you wanna have some fun midseason or whatever, but basketball is basketball. The NBA is the NBA.   Let's just leave it alone.  

[00:03:05] Unknown:

Yeah. We talked about this last time, but the only banner that matters is the championship banner at the end of the year.   Correct. The one during the season to me couldn't matter at all. I do understand for guys who are at the end of the bench, I think you get, like, a half $1,000,000. So that's pretty nice. Love that for them. I really do.  

[00:03:23] Unknown:

I'm very glad that they have that. If they're gonna make them play on a bright red court,   they should pay them $500,000.  

[00:03:32] Unknown:

Yeah. The courts are horrific.  

[00:03:33] Unknown:

Except for ours.  

[00:03:35] Unknown:

Yeah. But even ours, we don't need it. We didn't ever we saw it live.  

[00:03:39] Unknown:

We, like, we were at that game.   I don't know that we've seen them play on the green core on the screen. We have seen them play. Oh,   and on TV?   Yeah.   Oh, my bad.  

[00:03:55] Unknown:

It's okay. It's just, the court, regardless, it's trash. The Celtics court, the the regular court is awful. They are running around on, like, a green screen  

[00:04:04] Unknown:

court.  

[00:04:05] Unknown:

Yeah. It hurts your eyes. You know what I mean? They're all too much. And feel like I'm, like, playing a video game. Yeah.  

[00:04:12] Unknown:

But the boys seem to like it. They are cooking in the kitchen tonight on this red   court.  

[00:04:18] Unknown:

Jayson Tatum absolutely locked in.   Yeah. But, also, the Bulls kind of are too because we've been crushing, and they're, I mean, they're downtown, but they're hanging. They're hanging, though.  

[00:04:29] Unknown:

Do you know who Jayson Tatum had Thanksgiving with yesterday? Who? No. Tell me. You really don't   know? Evan Turner, ET.   Really? Yeah.   Whose house were they at? I have no idea. They played some game with red solo cups and a and a ball, but it was not beer cup, beer pong.   Was there anyone else there? I don't think. I do not think there was anyone else there. And,   I mean, I could be all wrong about this, but the post was from yesterday, which was Thanksgiving, and it looked like   a gathering of sorts. So I think   that they were together for Thanksgiving for whatever reason. This was on Instagram?  

Yeah. Evan Turner's.   Just finding the clip.  

[00:05:11] Unknown:

Well, no. I'm not finding the clip. Actually, speaking of clips, though, I do have a clip to play. I have the Blake Griffin the Blake Griffin clip  

[00:05:19] Unknown:

Blake Griffin.  

[00:05:22] Unknown:

From,   Pritchard's wedding,   and this is not the clip of him marrying them. This is the clip of him talking some smack   about Pritchard, and to me, it's the funniest thing he could have possibly done after the wedding.  

[00:05:36] Unknown:

Okay. Are you gonna play the clip right now? I'm gonna play it right now. Sure. He can dribble, and he can shoot, and he can do all those things that you wanna do as well. That's not the beginning of the clip. Hold on.   He can dribble and he can shoot and he can do all those things that you wanna do as a basketball player. But, dude, I got I got him in the post one time. Did a post move, elbow to the chest, and I heard   all of the breath   that's ever been inside of him come out. He was like   put him in a blender and he was like after I scored, he goes he goes, ouch.   I was I lost so much respect for him then. I don't think that Blake  

[00:06:12] Unknown:

grew up after   27 years old.  

[00:06:16] Unknown:

No. I mean, maybe not after 13. He's probably been that way since he was a freshman. Hear him speak, he sounded like your brother, Jake,  

[00:06:25] Unknown:

who is what? 19?  

[00:06:27] Unknown:

Who is 19? Gotta be 20 in January. Yeah.   But But, yeah, also, I could see myself telling that story at a wedding after I married somebody.  

[00:06:36] Unknown:

Yeah. I guess that's the kind of person that you have marry you. You know? Yeah. Someone who just likes   to throw you under the bus.  

[00:06:44] Unknown:

Yeah. Maybe that's why they're such good friends   Yeah. Because they can laugh with and at each other. Yeah. For sure.  

[00:06:53] Unknown:

Do you have any other questions for me for today?  

[00:06:56] Unknown:

No. Not really. I just had the NBA Cup question.   I had the blank clip. Oh.   And then I'm entirely out for now.  

[00:07:05] Unknown:

Alright. Well, I've got a question for you. What is it? It's not basketball related.   So   I cooked   the entire Thanksgiving dinner   yesterday, except for the sweet potato casserole because my aunt made that. What was your number one dish, and   what was your   least favorite?  

[00:07:25] Unknown:

So I'm gonna say number 1 because normally, I don't go for it. It's not my favorite, but I had it, and I was like, wow. This is actually bomb, was the green meat casserole. Oh my gosh. I had a secret I had a secret ingredient this year.   Well, I don't know that the secret ingredient probably wasn't the onion crisps, but there were so many onion crisps that I was like, this is exactly what I wanted. No. They're so good.   Yeah. I threw it on a sandwich today. I had made a sandwich. I put the turkey on. I put the stuffing on. I put  

[00:07:56] Unknown:

the I put a little mac and cheese on it. I put the garlic and casserole. Necessarily, like, your number 1, but it was, like, your most improved.  

[00:08:04] Unknown:

No. It was the number I don't even know if I had it last year. So it was the number one because it You were kind of a hater on green bean casserole. Exactly. And then it Okay. It really snuck up on me. So good. I was like, wow. This is incredible. Okay. What was your least favorite? Because I know what my least favorite was.   My least favorite?   I don't know. Just the lack of roles. Just there weren't enough roles that  

[00:08:25] Unknown:

I had 24 roles, and there's 10 of us.  

[00:08:29] Unknown:

Yeah.   Exactly. I feel like I had to skip out on the rolls. I gave your mom 4 of them for leftovers.  

[00:08:35] Unknown:

So I need to think ahead, and I need to buy more in order for leftovers.  

[00:08:40] Unknown:

More rolls and more corn   Okay. As discussed.  

[00:08:44] Unknown:

That's fine. Yeah. My least favorite was mashed potatoes.  

[00:08:49] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, I'm not a big mashed potatoes guy anymore. You know, mashed potatoes,  

[00:08:53] Unknown:

it sounds simple, but it's not simple.  

[00:08:56] Unknown:

I could really take or leave the mashed potatoes.  

[00:08:58] Unknown:

Yeah. And that's not good. No. Like, I would rather someone say that they did not like something   than say,   take it or leave it. Yeah. Take it or leave it is the worst comp I mean, the worst  

[00:09:10] Unknown:

thing The worst. You could say Yeah. About anyone or anything. Yeah. The sweet potato casserole was bomb, but, obviously, I could not have said even if that was my number one, I couldn't have said that the one thing that you didn't make was my number one. That's okay. You could've. But it's just it's so good. Yeah. The marshmallows   Yeah. With the cinnamon. Yeah.   It's incredible.  

[00:09:30] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:09:31] Unknown:

It is. The cookies were a big hit too. Not a dish, but But the cookies were a hit. I think at this point, you cannot tell me that  

[00:09:39] Unknown:

anyone makes a better cookie than I do.  

[00:09:43] Unknown:

No one makes a better cookie? Toll House doesn't make a better cookie? No.  

[00:09:48] Unknown:

I love Toll House, but no. Mine is better. The Toll House consistency,  

[00:09:52] Unknown:

though.  

[00:09:54] Unknown:

It seemed as though Jaylen,   did not celebrate with anyone yesterday.   Why? Just nothing was up? He was just posting some random stuff all day long.   Then nothing to do with things. With the leaves?   Oh, no.   No. Not even that? A regular shmegular   day.   But   I didn't see much else.   Let me go scroll for a second and see if anyone   had some really,   you know, interesting   Thanksgiving festivities.  

[00:10:28] Unknown:

Who do you think loves Thanksgiving the most of all the Celtics?  

[00:10:34] Unknown:

One name just popped into my mind, and that was Luke Cornett.  

[00:10:38] Unknown:

I could see Luke being very thankful for Thanksgiving.  

[00:10:43] Unknown:

Yeah.   No. No one's really up to anything   for Thanksgiving   on the gram.   They went to the White House.   Seemed as though they had a great time.  

[00:11:01] Unknown:

No one seemed to have a better time than Jalen.  

[00:11:04] Unknown:

Jalen had a great time.   You know who else had a good time?   O'Shea Persap.   Yeah.   Poor guy. Poor guy. Still not on the roster. Poor guy. Like, maybe he's fine with it.  

[00:11:18] Unknown:

Well yeah. But he had an option a player option where he could have stayed on the Celtics. He declined it, and now he's not playing. So I imagine he would have been happier if he were still on the Celtics at the White House with them.  

[00:11:30] Unknown:

That's true.   The Bulls are creeping up on us.  

[00:11:35] Unknown:

Yeah. The Bulls are fighting. 39, 36. We need to win by at least 15.  

[00:11:40] Unknown:

I'm not worried about it. I want this I want this I would just rather us not even  

[00:11:46] Unknown:

not even win. I'd be better off yeah. I wanna win. We'll win the game, but win it by, like, 2 and then or, actually, win it by as many as possible, but still not make the playoff.   Yeah. Still not win the wild card.   Don't go to Vegas. Thing. It's like Stay out of it.   Derek White's been on a tear as well. Mhmm.  

[00:12:07] Unknown:

I just don't think it's I think it's pointless. I wonder if they're ever gonna get rid of it or if they're gonna be like,  

[00:12:14] Unknown:

I admit that this was a dumb decision. No. You know why? Why? Because what is it? The Emirates Cup? Emirates is probably paying them a lot of money to sponsor it, and it's about the money.  

[00:12:26] Unknown:

Yeah.   Isn't it always   we also just went to   a game.  

[00:12:39] Unknown:

Yeah. Who'd they play?   I literally forget.   Me too. So do you.   Oh, no. They played Minnesota. They played Minnesota. Yet. They played Minnesota.  

[00:12:50] Unknown:

Did you hear what   what,   Ant said about his own very own team?  

[00:12:57] Unknown:

What did he say about the team? I saw he said that, like, the fans are booing them, and he was all mad about that. What did he say about the team? Said that  

[00:13:05] Unknown:

their identity he said he used to think it was that their defense   was their identity,   but now he thinks it's them just being the soft ass team.   Really? Can you believe he said that about his own team?   I cannot   ever whatever he wants. Minute imagine anyone on the seas ever saying that about   their team.  

[00:13:26] Unknown:

No. The the Celtics are a little more professional about it. That's why I like it. He just shoots from the hip. He says whatever he thinks.   It's gonna get old when they aren't very good, and then he's still saying stuff like that. People are gonna get pretty tired of it. Well, I think that we are professional  

[00:13:44] Unknown:

per se, but   Boston in general, Boston teams are just really not that professional.   And I think that we've just got   some goody 2 shoes on our team, like, in a good way,   and also   a 0   tolerance.  

[00:14:03] Unknown:

They stick together. Yeah. They They're not gonna throw anybody under the bus. Respect, which is great. Yeah. They're gonna keep it in house if there's any issues.  

[00:14:11] Unknown:

For sure.   Which I like.   Yeah. It's how it should be. You're a team.  

[00:14:17] Unknown:

You know? Yeah. But I think part of the problem too is that they kinda broke up the team. They sent their 2nd best player, Kat. Seems the Knicks though that wasn't the right choice, but how are the Knicks doing?   Okay. I mean, they won big the other day. They just won by a few today. They were down. They're playing, Charlotte with no,   ball, and Grant's out RIP for the rest of the year. Oh.   Still haven't seen that clip. I don't wanna see it. I'm gonna check it out.  

[00:14:48] Unknown:

Who is rising up?   That was not expected. I mean, Golden State's   very good right now.   Yeah. Golden 6 is very good. They're gonna think they're gonna stick with it? You think it's been luck? No. I think they're very solid.  

[00:15:03] Unknown:

The Rockets, number 2 on the West, 14 and 6.  

[00:15:07] Unknown:

I'm not really worried about the Rockets.  

[00:15:10] Unknown:

Well, you didn't say who are you worried about. You said who is surprising, and they're surprising.  

[00:15:15] Unknown:

Yeah. They are surprising. I feel like I wouldn't have expected that. I feel like surprising is a good way to put it and that   I'm not worried about it,  

[00:15:25] Unknown:

but I am terrified of Golden State. Yeah. The Grizzlies, 13 and 7, they're in 4th in the west.  

[00:15:31] Unknown:

We're gonna go see them on   Saturday.   Next Saturday.  

[00:15:37] Unknown:

Are we? Next Saturday. I just keep forgetting about these games. They sneak up.  

[00:15:41] Unknown:

I know. Yeah. It's, like, December 6th. It's essentially Christmas right now.   Well, no. It's the day after Thanksgiving, so it's not essentially Christmas. But, you know, because there used to be, like I mean, because Thanksgiving's so late this year, there used to be a week between Thanksgiving December, so it just feels like  

[00:15:58] Unknown:

it's Christmas already. Yeah. The fact that it's the 28th is kinda crazy.  

[00:16:03] Unknown:

That Thanksgiving was the 28th, and it's the 29th. Was like, is it the 28th? Because on all my documentation today, I wrote the 29th. I got confused for a second.   Okay. We're good.  

[00:16:13] Unknown:

Yeah. We're good. How about the east? The Cavs lost again today. Yeah. I think that was a little  

[00:16:19] Unknown:

Luke.  

[00:16:20] Unknown:

Yeah. They lost 2 in a row. A little bit. And maybe 3 of the last 4 because we gave them their first loss. So Yeah.   Magic, 13 and 7,   and Powell's out. Right?  

[00:16:31] Unknown:

Yeah. I think so. Yeah.   Just really too bad. I really like him.  

[00:16:36] Unknown:

Yeah. Surprising team's the other way, I would say.   Timberwolves are in 12th. We're talking about them.   The Suns are 9th. They're 10 and 8. Nugget's only 10 and 7 in 7th place. Yeah. They seem like they're getting a little frustrate frustrated.   Yeah. For sure.  

[00:16:54] Unknown:

What's Dallas' thing?  

[00:16:57] Unknown:

The Mavs are 11 and 8. They're in 8th place.  

[00:17:00] Unknown:

Wow. I'm not shocked by that either, though. This,   Luca is out,   I think.   But I just feel   like Luca's one of those people   who just   they're, like, the smartest kid in the class, but they don't work hard   kinda thing.   And they just   they just coast coast coast until   finals.   And they're like, shit. I need to get an a on this final in order to pass the class.   So that's how I feel, like, when he gets to the playoffs   because he's, like, just hanging out, and then he's like, let me go ahead and really turn up the heat because otherwise, I'm gonna fail. And I know I know I'm smarter than all these people.  

[00:17:46] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:17:47] Unknown:

Oh my gosh. What was that that just scared the living crap out of me?  

[00:17:52] Unknown:

I don't know. I think it's my phone or something. I saw Okay. I still working out the technical difficulties here. Because  

[00:17:59] Unknown:

I just almost lost   my life.  

[00:18:04] Unknown:

I don't know what it is. K. Oh,   a button got pressed by mistake. We got the chime in here by mistake.   Chelsea just thought there was someone in the room.  

[00:18:14] Unknown:

I don't know what I thought. My heart went into my butt. It's alright. We'll edit all that out.  

[00:18:20] Unknown:

Okay. Can you turn this chime off, please?  

[00:18:23] Unknown:

About to break this fucking thing.   I don't know what's going on. It should be stopped now.  

[00:18:30] Unknown:

Okay.  

[00:18:31] Unknown:

Also, is the first picture you sent me of town, that was from last year. Yeah. Might have to be the new background on my phone.  

[00:18:38] Unknown:

I don't know what he's doing.  

[00:18:41] Unknown:

Also, this one, I know this is not great for podcasting. This one may be the most he's ever looked like me.  

[00:18:47] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. There's some gems. Yeah. I have to figure out what we're gonna do for this year, and we need to figure it out fast   because it's pretty much Christmas.   But what do you think about my Luca take?   I gave you a take.  

[00:19:02] Unknown:

I mean, I kind say? I kind of agree, but they made it to the finals last year. So you said he needs to turn on just to pass the class. He did much more than pass the class. But I get what you're saying where The concept of what I'm saying. He doesn't really try unless he has to,   and   it all comes much easier for him than maybe other people. And I think that he's got a little bit of a  

[00:19:23] Unknown:

way smarter than all you guys. Like, I'm way better than all you guys.   Like, I  

[00:19:29] Unknown:

What the fuck? Cannot pause it. We're gonna pause it.   We're back on.   The pads are off.   There's gonna be no more   chimes.   There are chimes I'll break the entire day. It was like Luca's ghost telling him to telling us to stop talking shit. Yeah. Someone was like, hey. This is not cool.  

[00:19:52] Unknown:

Mhmm.   I wasn't saying anything bad. I was just saying the truth.  

[00:19:57] Unknown:

No. I'm with you. I mean, there's certain I mean, even Kyrie, I feel like, also on the Mavs falls into that same category where little too cool for school. Yeah. I kinda feel like Kyrie is, like,  

[00:20:08] Unknown:

a little   I feel like he wants to be a team player.   Like, he feels like   that's the persona. That's what he should do, but he's not   he's trying to do something that is not natural.   He's a bit of a one man band. Yeah. He is. But then he's like, yeah.   My team, my city   Not really, but you know what I mean? Just it's he puts it on a little bit, and it's, like, not really true. Like, you probably come to practice late. You probably leave early.   You know?   Yeah. I hear what you're saying. I mean, he's a hard worker, but the team element, I think, for both him and Luca is not really there as much. No. I mean, they did win it. They did win the west last year. But I'm sorry. I just   that's how I feel.  



[00:20:57] Unknown:

Yeah. Does anybody scare you in the west?   Golden State. That's it? The thunder don't scare you?  

[00:21:04] Unknown:

No.   Thunder.  

[00:21:08] Unknown:

No. The Lakers, the Grizzlies No. Clippers, Nuggets, Mavs, Suns, Spurs, Kings, nobody?  

[00:21:16] Unknown:

No. But Golden State scares me more than any other team could possibly scare me.  

[00:21:22] Unknown:

Yeah. They're terrifying.   Steph,   when he's at his best, still probably the best player in the world.   When he's at his best. I'm not saying all the time, but when he is going off, it feels like he's unstoppable.  

[00:21:35] Unknown:

Yeah. So   we need to keep,   we need to keep our eyes peeled.  

[00:21:41] Unknown:

Anyone in the East?   Cavs, Magic, Knicks, Bucks, Heat, Pacers, anybody?  

[00:21:47] Unknown:

No.  

[00:21:48] Unknown:

I I agree.  

[00:21:51] Unknown:

I don't have much more to say than that. Although, I will say that we should really be beating the Bulls more   than we are because we are currently not beating them.  

[00:22:01] Unknown:

No. The 1 of 9 in the second quarter is just not gonna cut it.  

[00:22:05] Unknown:

No. No. Every time I look at the screen, though, it seems like we're doing pretty darn well, but then we're not really doing very well.   No. What's happening?  

[00:22:14] Unknown:

I feel like the Bulls always give us a little trouble, though. They're a tough team. They're scrappy.  

[00:22:21] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:22:22] Unknown:

They are scrappy. I guess LaVine's like   their guy, but they don't really have a guy who you're like, oh, we really have to stop this guy in order to be good and beat them.  

[00:22:32] Unknown:

Yeah. It's always like a different kind of   beast when you go against a team that doesn't have, like,   a guy   or 2 guys. You know? And it's more like   you gotta keep your head on a swivel.  

[00:22:45] Unknown:

Yeah. And for whatever reason, the teams that we're supposed to kill, the teams that we're supposed to beat by 10 plus points, it seems like we're always in a dogfight with them every game. Mhmm.  

[00:22:56] Unknown:

Yeah.   I think   you just never really know   how the game's gonna turn out, but, hopefully, at the end of it,   when?  

[00:23:08] Unknown:

But at the end, we win, and we don't make it to the NBA Cup playoffs.  

[00:23:13] Unknown:

Exactly.  

[00:23:15] Unknown:

That would be a win for me. Mhmm.  

[00:23:18] Unknown:

Didn't I send you any other,   anything else that you feel   be important to discuss?  

[00:23:28] Unknown:

I don't know. What did you send me?  

[00:23:32] Unknown:

Oh, I thought you send you a lot of thing.  

[00:23:36] Unknown:

Send me the d white d white pocket full of threes. I like that he's mixing up his 3 point celebrations.  

[00:23:42] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:23:44] Unknown:

Oh, Fred VanVleet when he got ejected.   What happened with that? I'm gonna see. Yeah. I know.  

[00:23:50] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. Ant is   pissed.   I'm reading finally what he said. He said, the fans effing booing us. That shit is crazy, man. We're getting booed in our own our own   home arena.   That's so effing disrespectful.   It's crazy.   I mean, you know, everybody talks about   the Celtics fans.   We would never  

[00:24:19] Unknown:

Would never?   VanVle,   fine $50,000,   no suspension.   Mhmm. And I gotta say,   I would get I would get fined   every other game. If I was making 1,000,000 of dollars and it cost me 50 k to say, you're a bitch, I would say that to all the officials.  

[00:24:37] Unknown:

That's not great,   but   that was wild.  

[00:24:45] Unknown:

Yeah. He pointed at all 3 refs and said, you suck, you suck,   you suck.  

[00:24:50] Unknown:

Yeah.   But he had to get that off his chest, I guess.  

[00:24:56] Unknown:

Also, LaMelo Ball playing for Chicago. Kinda forgot about him because he missed, I think, 2 years or more. Lonzo Ball. Lonzo Ball.  

[00:25:08] Unknown:

Yeah. That's what I do.   But   9 hours ago, Quartet Buzz reported that the Chicago Bulls are looking to trade   Zach LaVine, Anza Ball, and nickel Nikola   Nukjovic.   Help here.  

[00:25:25] Unknown:

I would have to look at it.  

[00:25:27] Unknown:

Before the 24, 25   NBA trade deadline.  

[00:25:31] Unknown:

Yeah. I think they're just trying to tank.   So they're trying to sell any of their guys to get some draft picks.  

[00:25:39] Unknown:

I get that, but I would be, like, bummed out if I were a Bulls fan.   I would just be like, oh, no. Like,   what about the fans?  

[00:25:50] Unknown:

Yeah. But, otherwise, you get caught in purgatory where you're in the middle, and   you're just never competing for anything. Like, right now, they're in 10th place. They're 8 and 12. I guess I couldn't imagine, like, just, like,  

[00:26:02] Unknown:

everything falling apart and just having a throwaway season.   That'd be pretty lame o.  

[00:26:08] Unknown:

Yeah. That'd be tough.   It's not fun.   The year before the Celtics got Paul Pierce, they had a throwaway season. Mhmm. I mean, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. We had Paul Pierce. Mhmm.  

[00:26:23] Unknown:

I hope Talon fell asleep.  

[00:26:25] Unknown:

He was very quiet before.   Well Yeah. 1996,   1997,   Celtics finished 1567   in 0607.   So they won it in 0 8. In 67?   Yeah. They won in 08. They were 24 and 58, 2nd worst in the league that season in 0607.   Wow.   It can happen quick. Insane. It can happen fast where you go from being great. Are about to win next season.  

[00:26:59] Unknown:

And Drake piss Pistons are gonna win that. It can happen quick. Do you mean they're gonna win next season? Maybe they'll get maybe they'll get all these guys  

[00:27:07] Unknown:

and they'll Why is it the Pistons who are gonna be good?  

[00:27:10] Unknown:

I don't know. Because they had a bad record.  

[00:27:13] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. They were, like, worse than league last year. Yeah.  

[00:27:17] Unknown:

That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. History repeating itself.   Let me see what kind   of let me see what kind of stuff I I sent you.   You didn't do your, research. I didn't have time.  

[00:27:38] Unknown:

I mean, just some   Joel Embiid hate,   more   Joel   Embiid  

[00:27:49] Unknown:

hate.   Did the Hawks win?  

[00:27:52] Unknown:

Yeah. The Hawks won today.  

[00:27:55] Unknown:

So that's a good thing for us? Nope.   Oh. That's why we can only get the wild card now. Oh, I see. See. I think I just feel   there's just too many things.   Too many things that I don't like.  

[00:28:10] Unknown:

Yeah. It's all fairly confusing.  

[00:28:15] Unknown:

Mhmm.   Alright. Let me see.  

[00:28:24] Unknown:

I mean, you send me things. You could just come with the things instead of sending me the things. You're the producer.  

[00:28:32] Unknown:

You're the producer.   Did you see the big fight between   Westbrook and Anthony Davis?   No. I didn't. It wasn't like a big fight, but they just, like, said a lot of bad words to each other,   and,   Westbrook called him soft.  

[00:28:50] Unknown:

Well, he is soft.   That's just the truth.  

[00:28:57] Unknown:

Well,   I just don't think that was necessary.   Hello? I said it wasn't necessary. You faded out?   Yeah.   Can we?  

[00:29:23] Unknown:

Thoughts on Abby's fit tonight?  

[00:29:25] Unknown:

I think she got extensions. Her hair is looking good.  

[00:29:29] Unknown:

Thoughts on the fit, though?  

[00:29:31] Unknown:

I I mean, I only see the top. It's fine, I think. Yeah. She's fine.   I do miss her get ready with me. She used to do that a lot. She didn't do that anymore,   unless I miss it.   Mhmm. Okay.   Oh, can we talk about this? Can we talk about this that I'm upset about?   That   the Thanksgiving eve,   I went to your alumni basketball game. And who is an alumni of your high school?  

[00:30:00] Unknown:

Joe Mazzula.  

[00:30:01] Unknown:

And was he there? He was absent.   Yeah.   And   I was disappointed.  

[00:30:08] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:30:09] Unknown:

But I'm not surprised. You know? He has an important job.  

[00:30:13] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, maybe they try well, I guess not. They probably were here for Thanksgiving.  

[00:30:17] Unknown:

Yeah. They were. Could've even been home for Thanksgiving. Flew out on Thanksgiving night, I think.  

[00:30:21] Unknown:

Yeah. But it was it was the day before, so he would've been there. He could've even been at home in Johnston.  

[00:30:27] Unknown:

Yeah. Probably.   I also don't wanna know your opinion on   Jayson Tatum's eyebrow   situation.   I mean, I'm not a fan of the stripes in the eyebrow. That's kinda cool. Yeah. You would think he's kinda cool, but I'm not a fan of the stripes in the eyebrow. It's cool. I think it's I think it's,   you know, he's so edgy.  

[00:30:51] Unknown:

Yeah. So   edgy.  

[00:30:53] Unknown:

He's hard.  

[00:30:55] Unknown:

No. Goes hard. No. Think about in high school, the guys who had No. No. Who had it. Were they hard? Just think back. A few people just popped into your brain. Were they hard, or were they not hard? Why he went for it.  

[00:31:07] Unknown:

I mean, I think I think it's cool that he went for it because   it's just another situation where I feel as though he does not care what anyone thinks of him, and I love it.  

[00:31:18] Unknown:

Oh, he definitely doesn't care.  

[00:31:20] Unknown:

I mean, you can't because everyone's always talking crap about him. So   what they gonna say now?   Yeah.   But I think we're definitely gonna walk away with a w in this game against the Bulls and the NBA Cup   thingamajigger,   but I don't know that we're gonna get to the finals or whatever it's called, and I'm okay with it. So during that time where they have the NBA Cup going on,   do all the teams that not make it get a vacation?  

[00:31:52] Unknown:

No. I think what ends up happening is,   it's like somehow the games count toward the regular season or the there's only, like, one game that doesn't, the finals. It's something very strange, the way that it's set up. Like, I think the teams that don't make it, they then set the schedule in some way after that. So those games are, like, all TBD  

[00:32:13] Unknown:

for that week,  

[00:32:15] Unknown:

kinda. Yeah. Because they don't know who's in it yet, and I all like, and they don't know who's out. But it's not as though like, there's still gonna be just 82 games. I think the only extra game   is the championship. Like, those teams play one   game that doesn't count toward the regular season. Mhmm. I think the rest do.  

[00:32:34] Unknown:

Mhmm.   Do you think there's anybody that enjoys this   out there?  

[00:32:40] Unknown:

The NBA Cup? Mhmm. I think the some of the players probably like it. It gives them someone else to play for. I mean, you see at the end of the game, like, we're going for extra points. We were, like, we're playing That was cool. To win. So   I don't think that they dislike it, but I'm sure some guys or some teams get a bigger   kick out of it than others. To me, teams that are worse   overall, like, in a shorter sample, you could   make a run at it and win the final, whereas over   this the season, the better teams are gonna win out in the playoffs. Seven game series, the better teams are gonna win out. Mhmm. But when you're just playing,   you know, 3 or 4 games to get into it and then you're playing 1 game at a time, single elimination,   then I think it   is you know, the worst teams can win because on any given night,   anybody could lose.  



[00:33:29] Unknown:

Mhmm.  

[00:33:34] Unknown:

Celtics only are not up at all anymore. Tide, about to go into the half, playing not an ounce of defense tonight, which has also been a big problem, I feel like. Sometimes we just fall asleep on defense.  

[00:33:46] Unknown:

Yeah. Because their offense doesn't look too too bad, but,   their   bulls are not missing.  

[00:33:54] Unknown:

No. 64 points each.   Now they have 67.  

[00:33:59] Unknown:

Yep. They're not missing. No.   I like Chicago. It's, like, such an old school place.   Like, the arena looks old even.   I don't know if it actually is, but it looks it.   But I don't love Chicago as a place,  

[00:34:17] Unknown:

which I could get. The windy city? But  

[00:34:19] Unknown:

I don't enjoy it all that much. Yeah. All the Chicago listeners are gonna be upset. Yeah. All the listeners that we have from out there.   But, I mean, at least Jason Thiem showed up to play tonight. Yeah. He definitely did. He looks good. Yeah. He is.   But I don't know where everybody else   Jaylen kinda quiet. What's his stats, right, like, tonight?  

[00:34:41] Unknown:

At the half,   Tatum,   19.   Jaylen, 13. Dee White, 16. Porzingis, 14. Drew Holiday, a goose   egg. Only took 3 shots, but nothing. Mhmm.   Sam Hauser, 0. Horford, 0.  

[00:34:56] Unknown:

Richard, 5. Gonna do about Drew?  

[00:34:59] Unknown:

Drew?   I mean, keep him, but he's, like, now probably our 6 best player.  

[00:35:05] Unknown:

You think he's just kinda tired these days?   I don't know. Think there's, like, not that, like, not enough of a role for him?  

[00:35:15] Unknown:

No. I think there is, but,   offensively, not as much. And I think his defense   Jaylen Brown's our best defender.  

[00:35:23] Unknown:

Mhmm. I  

[00:35:24] Unknown:

I don't know   care what the numbers say. Jaylen covers the best guys when it matters.   Drew gets blown by all the time.   I never see him locking anyone down.  

[00:35:38] Unknown:

Oh, that you got over there.  

[00:35:39] Unknown:

What's all what?   Those videos you got over there. I was just trying to find the   video of Tatum saying   Jayson Tatum's gonna do whatever the fuck he wants to do in the postgame, but I couldn't find it. Did you actually see that?  

[00:35:54] Unknown:

Yeah. But do you need me to find it now? Yeah. Because I never actually saw that, so I think it would be important for me to see for research.  

[00:36:03] Unknown:

I'm on it.  

[00:36:05] Unknown:

Great.   Well, we can also talk about how   Jalen is expanding his brand.  

[00:36:18] Unknown:

I saw that. I didn't love the No. We don't love it at all. Leisure as much as I loved the rest of it. Alright. Here's the I don't love any of it. Okay. Alright. At the Olympics before in your ear telling you how you should react, what you should do,  

[00:36:31] Unknown:

what what you should say. What have you been telling yourself? Like, what have you what's been going on in your mind in terms of just kinda everyone pointing to this game   and you trying to you downplaying it. I mean, is that have you   you truly feel that way? Have you   hype did you hype yourself up? Did you, like, stuck in one day? Yourself through this process?  

[00:36:51] Unknown:

I mean, as part   of this job,   that's what I've been dealing with my entire career. People want me to be, you know, louder. People want to be mean or whatever.   One thing about Jason, like, I'm always gonna do   what the fuck I wanna do   and approach   things how I wanna approach and what I   feel is is sincere I love that. I am as a person.  

[00:37:15] Unknown:

Yeah. Did you not believe me? No. I did believe you, but I really wanted to see it. And I can't believe that I didn't see it, honestly.   Yeah. Because I'm usually seeing everything.  

[00:37:25] Unknown:

Yeah. I was doing a little bit of research, and I stumbled upon it. I was happy to see it. I was like I was, like, pleasantly surprised as well. I love that. Yeah. And I hope that Deuce is the same way.   Yeah. No. I mean, Deuce  

[00:37:36] Unknown:

Do you think Deuce is gonna play in the NBA?  

[00:37:39] Unknown:

I at first, I would have said absolutely not, but nowadays,   so many guys   who they obviously, their kids are much older now, but there's a lot of guys who played in the league whose kids are now playing the league or are expected   to play in the league. Mhmm.   Yeah. So he could. I mean, he's gonna have great coaching. He's gonna have the best access. He's already been around the game, been around legends.   His dad is a legend already.  

[00:38:05] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:38:06] Unknown:

But he looks a little uncoordinated.  

[00:38:09] Unknown:

He looks better and better. Yeah. He does look better. He does a little jab step.  

[00:38:13] Unknown:

Jab step. He's got he's got a good jab step? Yeah.   I haven't seen the jab step. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.  

[00:38:21] Unknown:

Yeah.   I don't know. This is no shade to Jaylen because   he is one of my favorite people on the planet.   I don't know. High praise.   But   I don't know. Maybe it's just a little too futuristic   for me,   looking   all of it. It's just not my style,   you know, but it I don't think it's meant to be for me.   I don't think it's meant to be for me as a person.   I like the shoes a lot. People like Jalen, and that makes a lot more sense.  

[00:38:53] Unknown:

I like the well, because too, have you seen his other gear through Juice, the company? That's cool. That stuff's pretty good. Mhmm. That stuff is cool. Yeah. But the 547   741.   741.   As I type 547   and, The confidence. You talk about me speaking with confidence. I have no idea why I thought it was 547. But I hope it's 7 41. It is, and I Of course, it's 741.   Of course, it is.  

[00:39:18] Unknown:

Obviously.   You mean obviously?  

[00:39:21] Unknown:

I definitely wasn't gonna get it right.   Yeah. The top I mean, this one That's the thing. I don't get with the big gold in the middle. I don't really get it. It's like  

[00:39:32] Unknown:

not even gold. It's like iridescent.  

[00:39:36] Unknown:

I don't know what that means. But  

[00:39:38] Unknown:

Our listeners will.  

[00:39:41] Unknown:

And then, I mean, the this one with it on the on the arm, like, the quarter zip,  

[00:39:45] Unknown:

half zip with it on the arm, I don't really understand. No. I think that's just, like, kinda like brand logo, like, you know, like, you would wear, like,  

[00:39:54] Unknown:

Nike on the sleeve or something like that. But Yeah. I will say certainly not for me, but the best thing in it is the sunglasses.   Not saying that's good, but the best thing of the stuff I saw.   Well, they're cool. They're cool. Not for me. Would never wear them, couldn't pull them off, but  

[00:40:11] Unknown:

better than the than the other stuff. Overall. Like, the clothes are not made for regular folk. Yeah.  

[00:40:17] Unknown:

This one this one's fine.   Yeah. Like the like the   what would you call that?  

[00:40:24] Unknown:

Athleisure.  

[00:40:25] Unknown:

Yeah.   And what does this thing stand for? What does FCHWPO   stand for?  

[00:40:32] Unknown:

Faith.  

[00:40:34] Unknown:

What?  

[00:40:35] Unknown:

Faith, something, hard work. Faith, consistently  

[00:40:39] Unknown:

faith, consistency, hard work pays off. See? Look at me.  

[00:40:43] Unknown:

I know things.   Yeah. The shoes, though, I mean, the shoes are nice. But I don't know what 741 means that he did say it on the podcast that I listened to recently,   but I don't remember. I think, like, it's just, like, 7 is one of his favorite numbers.  

[00:41:00] Unknown:

Yeah. That means 7 must be. He's   Juice has the 7.   So 7 represents spiritual awakening, wisdom, and understanding, which aligns with Brown's approach to his career.   4 symbolizes hard work, stability, and practicality.   1 stands for new beginnings, creativity, and independence.  

[00:41:20] Unknown:

When do since when do numbers mean things, though?  

[00:41:24] Unknown:

I mean, they've always meant things.  

[00:41:26] Unknown:

Tell me more.  

[00:41:27] Unknown:

I mean, numbers in the bible,   7's a lucky number.  

[00:41:31] Unknown:

I didn't know that numbers meant things.  

[00:41:33] Unknown:

What are you talking about?   Of course.  

[00:41:36] Unknown:

Oh. Yeah.   What is what is   does everything mean everything?   Can number just be a number?  

[00:41:46] Unknown:

Well, I mean, sure. But   so numbers in the bible, 1 represents unity, monotheism.   2   can mean difference, division,   you know, duality.  

[00:41:58] Unknown:

Yeah. All that makes sense. Yeah. I mean, 666 is the devil's number. No. Yes. See, like, these numbers make sense to me. But But now you're like, oh, yeah. Those do mean something. But Yeah. Because 1,   unity.   Yeah.   2, duality. Yeah.  

[00:42:14] Unknown:

That that actually means, like I mean, 7, god 7 days, god created   man on the 7th day represents spiritual perfection, fullness completion.   Forty is a big number. Like  

[00:42:30] Unknown:

40?   40 days and 40 nights?  

[00:42:33] Unknown:

You fasted for food in the desert for 40 days?   Right. Yeah.   What do you mean? Numbers have meaning, obviously.  

[00:42:44] Unknown:

Well, I don't have a computer in front of me to look up facts.  

[00:42:48] Unknown:

I knew they meant something. I just didn't know what they all meant specifically.   Mhmm.  

[00:42:55] Unknown:

Well,   back to it.  

[00:43:00] Unknown:

Back to the Celtics.  

[00:43:03] Unknown:

I said Celtics who are losing,   or are we winning,   or are we tied?  

[00:43:08] Unknown:

Tied.   What are your thoughts on so Jaylen's not really your vibe. What are your thoughts on Tatum shoes?  

[00:43:16] Unknown:

I feel   bad saying it's not my vibe. It's just   I would be more if I had to choose a shoe to wear,   I would choose   Tatum's shoe   over Jalen's shoe. Maybe actually, maybe I wouldn't. These are the newest ones. Yeah. They're zigzaggy.  

[00:43:35] Unknown:

Yeah. I think the newest ones are sick. I think they're very cool.  

[00:43:39] Unknown:

But I guess I just I'm not somebody that's ever   worn a basketball shoe nor will I ever in my whole life. So   I just feel like I shouldn't even judge. You don't necessarily get it. I don't get it. And I and I should not judge. And I and I'm not even saying that Dylan. I didn't say that they're not cool. They're just,   I guess,   just futuristic.  

[00:44:02] Unknown:

Yeah. I kinda like that he's pushing the boundaries, though. He's got his own brand. He turned down   going to, you know, just a regular   Yeah. Makes sense. Where everyone else makes some money. He has full creative control. Yep. And he put himself out there and doing the most. Yeah.  

[00:44:17] Unknown:

And, like, I would   I I'm just afraid that one day, Dylan's gonna listen to this and think that I don't like his shoes.   And it's just not really true.   But I'm looking at your screen right now, all of Tatum's different shoes.   And   I think the the threes are the coolest,   but then the ones are the second coolest and the twos are the first the least coolest.  

[00:44:44] Unknown:

I agree.   I think that the the third one is definitely the coolest. Yeah. I think it's one of the the best shoes I've seen out there of any   guys who have shoes lately.   The twos were kinda tough.   They're not so cool. They're almost like a little gimmicky looking. Mhmm. The first ones were a little futuristic in a way, but not in a bad way. I kinda like them. They're cool. We gotta get are we gonna get some for talent?  

[00:45:09] Unknown:

Yeah.   For Christmas?   Yeah. Oh my gosh. My favorite commercial song.   Everybody knows it. Everybody loves it.   Everybody loves a dog.  

[00:45:23] Unknown:

You're you, like, have to sing it every time you see it. Yeah. I'm like I didn't hear anything. I haven't heard one thing from the TV   this entire time, except then I heard Santa singing. Well, because you're being a professional. You got the headphones on. Yeah.  

[00:45:38] Unknown:

But somehow that's creeped in.   You could sense it that was on TV.  

[00:45:43] Unknown:

Yeah. You can hear a little bit. It's just not Yeah.   Enough. But almost like you just know what they're saying. That's why you can hear it better too. Yeah. When you don't know what they're saying,  

[00:45:53] Unknown:

little bit tougher. Alright. Which one are we which twos are we getting to?  

[00:45:59] Unknown:

The threes.  

[00:46:00] Unknown:

We're getting the threes?  

[00:46:02] Unknown:

Alright. What ones do you wanna get them? You just said the threes are the best one. Now you wanna I know. Do you wanna give them the twos? No. But I'm like, should we get him the one so it's like the original,  

[00:46:11] Unknown:

the OG?  

[00:46:12] Unknown:

Maybe. Maybe it'll be on sale too.   Maybe it'll be cheaper. No. They are. I've already  

[00:46:20] Unknown:

looked. That's why you were angling towards it. You already knew.  

[00:46:24] Unknown:

How much cheaper? Pairs. 2 pairs. Oh, you could get 2 for the price of 1 new pair, 1 of the threes? Pretty much. Yeah. Definitely get them the ones then. Well, then I was gonna get him the ones, and then I was just gonna get him some, like,  

[00:46:36] Unknown:

some dunks or something.   Because the other day, I was wearing mine,   and he was like,   you have Nikes on? I have Nikes on, but he had New Balance. You didn't have Nikes on. Yeah? Actually, no. He didn't even have New Balance on. He has, like, H and M sneakers on. Yeah. He just had a Nike. Nikes on. We both have Nikes.   I was like, yeah, we do. Yeah.  

[00:46:58] Unknown:

We do. You gotta tell them, though. We don't. No. So You gotta make them appreciate the Nikes. You gotta be like, no. We'll get you some Nikes. I did. I did say that. I said, no. We're gonna get you some.  

[00:47:07] Unknown:

So do you want some for Christmas?   But, technically, they're under the Nike brand, but, technically, they're Jordans. Oh, yeah. Those. But I think we're gonna get them Nikes as well, which is why we need to get the ones so they're on sale so we can go buy 2.   I'm not gonna sing it again. It's on again, though.   No. But that would be aggressive if I just every time this commercial comes on, I sing it on the pod. Well, you sing it every time it's on if we're just sitting in the room. So   but we're not   talking for an hour straight   in real life either.  



[00:47:41] Unknown:

Unbelievable.  

[00:47:43] Unknown:

Just speaking the truth.   But sometimes we do.  

[00:47:48] Unknown:

Yeah.   During the game, we'll just talk most of the time.   Then all of a sudden, you get a mic in your hand. You run out of things to say.   Yeah. Well Oh, what's, oh, maybe it's 541.   No. It's not. I'm gonna just make myself a click and edit again. But what's the podcast with,   who's the mad funny guy? Jeff Teague.   It's, like, 5:20 in the morning or something. Yeah. I don't know. They were hating on the second   a little bit on the second season of,   starting 5.  

[00:48:22] Unknown:

Why?  

[00:48:24] Unknown:

I don't know. They were just saying, like, they weren't that interested in it. They were saying Jaylen Brown's mad corporate. He's not gonna be interesting.  

[00:48:30] Unknown:

Jeff corporate?  

[00:48:32] Unknown:

Well, no, I don't. They do. That's what they were saying. Why would they say that? I don't know. They said he's, like, Barack analyst. Barack Obama. A little bit.   Yeah. So now you understand. But Jeff Teague was like, he is he's like, he kinda is, but he's like, that's actually really him. He's not just   being corporate. He's like, he is very serious. He's like, he'll tell some jokes and stuff, but he is very serious. Mhmm. He is just about what he's about.  

[00:48:56] Unknown:

Okay. And what else did they say?  

[00:48:59] Unknown:

They were like more in on we're done with this. We need to change the laundry over. They were more in on Tyrese Alberton, but I think they're friends with him or something. They're, like, friendly with him. I know.   And then they're they're I don't know. They were just who were the other ones? James Harden. Yeah. James Harden. They weren't that into they they were saying they were like, if it was Houston James Harden,   but they were also like, James Harden isn't gonna do any of the stuff that  

[00:49:23] Unknown:

he really does for the show. Gonna be a little bit lame. Yeah.  

[00:49:27] Unknown:

And then Thoughts on the because you know I'm always you know I'm always hating on the outfits. Thoughts on Scalinger's outfits to guys.  

[00:49:34] Unknown:

Head.  

[00:49:34] Unknown:

Scal, wear an undershirt, my guy. Throw on an undershirt.   What  

[00:49:39] Unknown:

is going on? Much neck and chest showing right now. The head hole   is too wide.  

[00:49:46] Unknown:

Drew is fine. He always just wears the quarter zip with something underneath, but Skal has on a It looks like a couple sweatshirt. It looks like sure he were in bed with his plaid pajama pants. And he looks like he just got in a fight with somebody.   Throw on an undershirt.  

[00:50:02] Unknown:

That was funny. That just made me laugh.  

[00:50:05] Unknown:

Shout out to Galba. I mean,   come on.  

[00:50:08] Unknown:

Yeah.   Maybe he forgot his undershirts. I don't know.  

[00:50:13] Unknown:

Also, start of the second half, Celtics   and the Bulls are tied. Bench points for the Celtics in the first half, 5 points, all from Pritchard.  

[00:50:23] Unknown:

That's not gonna cut him. Sam shot an air bra. I bet you it's the  

[00:50:28] Unknown:

freaking court. The court's messing with them?  

[00:50:31] Unknown:

Yeah.   We need to change the laundry.  

[00:50:35] Unknown:

We we will change the laundry,   but it's gonna be okay.   Sayin'. The game's gonna be on for more than an hour.  

[00:50:44] Unknown:

Well, okay. Well, did they say anything about Shai or Shay in which we don't know?  

[00:50:51] Unknown:

What about him?  

[00:50:52] Unknown:

I'm starting 5.  

[00:50:54] Unknown:

Oh, I think they were kinda into him too. Obviously, everybody's so into him for whatever reason. Kevin Durant.   Yeah. But KD was they were saying kinda the same thing because KD likes to smoke, and they were like, well, he's probably not gonna do that on starting 5. They're like, what are they gonna show him doing?   But, oh, just overall, they just didn't love the squad. They wanted to bring Ant back because one of them was like, I want they were like, who do you wanna see? He's like, I wanna see Anthony Edwards. They're like, they just had him. He's like, bring it back. I don't care. Mhmm.  

[00:51:26] Unknown:

Which it was good, but Who did we just play   the other night?  

[00:51:30] Unknown:

I don't know. I didn't watch the game.  

[00:51:33] Unknown:

I did. Yeah.   But I don't recall.   But it was somebody else, I think, that's gonna be on starting 5.   No?  

[00:51:47] Unknown:

Hello? I'm looking.   It was  

[00:51:55] Unknown:

I'm probably super wrong.   The Clippers. Yeah. James Harden. Oh, yeah. I was right. Yeah. Yeah.   So I was thinking maybe that game   might be on.  

[00:52:07] Unknown:

It'll be mic'd up for the show. Yeah. I mean, I think it's gonna be better than last season with the curve that it is. I don't think so.   Why?  

[00:52:17] Unknown:

Because  

[00:52:20] Unknown:

I just think I mean, love Tatum, but I think Jaylen's more interesting.  

[00:52:24] Unknown:

It's also gonna be more interesting following up with just one Now I'm feeling I'm picking up what they're putting down about Jaylen, though. Might be a little bit but, I mean, Tatum was kinda boring in it too because he's just moral. He's, like, kinda straight edge and everything, like a good guy   Yeah. Which is great.   But Jaylen,   I just think it's gonna be a little I hope they see him loosen up a little, I guess. Yeah. I mean, it's gonna be hard to beat Anne. I think Anne kinda stole the show. I think so too. He was the most interesting guy.  

[00:52:53] Unknown:

They did very well.  

[00:52:54] Unknown:

Who is this guy?   Who was who was it last year?   The starting 5? Yeah. I can't think of the 5th person.  

[00:53:06] Unknown:

Sabonis.  

[00:53:07] Unknown:

No. He's on. I remember him.  

[00:53:09] Unknown:

It was Sabonis, Tatum,  

[00:53:12] Unknown:

Uh-huh. And Yeah.  

[00:53:16] Unknown:

Who are the other 2? Jimmy.  

[00:53:18] Unknown:

Jimmy.  

[00:53:19] Unknown:

Jimmy.   Jimmy was fine, but Jimmy is just the type of guy who gets up in the morning and kisses himself in the mirror first thing.  

[00:53:30] Unknown:

Ugh. Chills. I don't like him at all.  

[00:53:33] Unknown:

Yeah. Hard to love. Do you think if you were a Heat fan, you would like him?  

[00:53:38] Unknown:

I think I'd be over him by now. Or you yeah. You would still find him annoying? I think I'd be over him by now.   Something's going on. We can't even see the basketball hoop. Yeah. This is not good.   We might lose a game,   which would be okay.  

[00:53:53] Unknown:

Yeah. Then we'd for sure be out of the NBA Cup. We can move   on. It would be fine.  

[00:53:59] Unknown:

We looked really good in the very beginning. But  

[00:54:02] Unknown:

The Q2 was rough.  

[00:54:05] Unknown:

Yeah.   Happening.  

[00:54:12] Unknown:

We're just launching shots.   Not really caring.  

[00:54:20] Unknown:

Yeah.   When is the trade deadline? February?  

[00:54:27] Unknown:

Yeah. Around,   the all star break,   which is around Valentine's Day.  

[00:54:33] Unknown:

How many all stars do you think we're gonna have?   2.   Really?  

[00:54:38] Unknown:

Yeah.   I just don't see how Dwight sneaks in there.  

[00:54:45] Unknown:

KP?  

[00:54:47] Unknown:

No. He missed   not a ton of time, but too much time. Mhmm. And I just he's not gonna go bananas.  

[00:54:54] Unknown:

Is Joel Embiid gonna be an all star this year? 0%.   0%.  

[00:54:58] Unknown:

0%.  

[00:55:00] Unknown:

They are Yes. Horrific. Embiid gonna be in the NBA next year? Yes.   Is he gonna be playing for Philadelphia?  

[00:55:09] Unknown:

Yes.  

[00:55:10] Unknown:

Is he gonna have a better team?  

[00:55:13] Unknown:

Hard to have a better team than they do now. They just need to get it together because him and Paul George missed 3 games in a row.  

[00:55:21] Unknown:

What are they doing?  

[00:55:23] Unknown:

I don't know Max. He was hurt at the beginning of the year. They have to do who's gonna be rookie of the year. He's been going crazy.  

[00:55:29] Unknown:

Is he gonna be rookie of the year? I think so. He's been going nuts. Yeah. But they're losing   really bad. That doesn't matter.  

[00:55:38] Unknown:

I love him. It's not like an MVP thing. Jaden something or other, I think. Yeah. He's He is a joy. Really good.  

[00:55:45] Unknown:

He's a joy. Yeah. He is. You ever heard him talk or anything?   No. I've just seen a bunch of clips. Yeah. Yeah. He's a little sweetie. Yeah. He does his nails.   You what? He does his nails.   They're all painted.  

[00:56:01] Unknown:

You know what else does his nails? Jimmy.  

[00:56:04] Unknown:

Yeah. They are 2 different people, though.  

[00:56:07] Unknown:

2 different people who both do their nails. Yeah.  

[00:56:11] Unknown:

I don't think that any I just   I don't I don't like Jimmy.   I don't like him at all.  

[00:56:20] Unknown:

He's a piece of work. Do you like Harrow or Jimmy more?  

[00:56:25] Unknown:

Harrow.  

[00:56:27] Unknown:

Really? I don't like Jimmy. You rather have on your team?  

[00:56:32] Unknown:

Probably Tyler or Harrow   Stop. Or Harrow, however you wanna say it. Stop.   No.   For the dynamics,   I feel like Tyler would just settle in a little bit more.   He would be you know,   he'd come off the bench maybe, get some threes,   and then but Jimmy would just mess with the vibe,   and he would just try to steal the show,   and he would be annoying.  

[00:56:59] Unknown:

Feel like he would kinda fall in line. I do not. I think  

[00:57:03] Unknown:

I don't even think that it was necessarily that he wouldn't fall in line, but somehow,   he would   change the direction   of   the line   that it was going on to go in a different direction that worked for him the most.  

[00:57:18] Unknown:

The heat the last year or 2 haven't been quite as good, but everywhere Jimmy's gone, he's made them better.   When he's left, they've been worse.  

[00:57:28] Unknown:

I just I don't want   it. I don't want it. Do you think we're gonna trade anyone?  

[00:57:35] Unknown:

No.   Absolutely not.   Who would we trade?  

[00:57:41] Unknown:

Nobody.   No.   Only guys at the bottom of the bench.  

[00:57:45] Unknown:

Yeah. But even that, like, it would be to get somebody, but I don't think we need anybody   to really fill in anywhere.   Mhmm. I would have said maybe a big before the year started.   But at this point, with Kay to play and how he's been,   what's his name has been fine? Cornette.   Al, you know my feelings. Just  

[00:58:07] Unknown:

A half step behind.  

[00:58:09] Unknown:

Yeah. Half step behind really never hits 1 when we need it. I disagree on that point. I mean, tonight, how many off the bench, 5 points in the first half, all by Pritchard. Nothing by Al. Not not a point.   Not a point.  

[00:58:23] Unknown:

Maybe he had too much turkey.  

[00:58:25] Unknown:

Yeah. Maybe he's got the Thanksgiving hangover.   Mhmm.  

[00:58:31] Unknown:

And maybe he's not used to coming off the bench yet.  

[00:58:36] Unknown:

Still, I'd adjust it all. You know? I mean, he did it all last year.  

[00:58:40] Unknown:

Yeah. But things it's like things change a little bit. You know?   He just   Yep. Also, he just came out he's become off the bench 1 day. People from Chicago, though? Because, like, the people in the stands, they all look like they're from the nineties somehow.   They got stuff. Feels like the whole arena is back in the nineties, and I love it.  

[00:59:01] Unknown:

I'm here for it. Yeah. Their team is also caught in the nineties, although they probably wish they  

[00:59:06] Unknown:

were.  

[00:59:09] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't know. I'm into it. Everybody looks like   a cool   guy or cool gal.  

[00:59:17] Unknown:

They got the swag of the nineties. Mhmm. Nineties swag was way better.  

[00:59:22] Unknown:

Yeah. It was a good time.   I saw a video   online, and it was like a home video of a prom.   And they were all like, hi. I'm   I'm Alex Smith, and this is my date, Diana.   And I'm going to Harvard, and I'm gonna be a lost a law lawyer.   And then I'd be like, hi. I'm John Doe, and this is my date,   Susan. And and they were just all so cute and happy.  

[00:59:54] Unknown:

You're telling me it was a lot more wholesome. For sure.  

[00:59:58] Unknown:

Kids today could never.  

[01:00:02] Unknown:

No. They couldn't because they're just glued to their phones all the time.  

[01:00:06] Unknown:

Yeah. It's quite unfortunate.  

[01:00:08] Unknown:

It's terrible.  

[01:00:10] Unknown:

Let's see if Pritchard gets it in. Then he gets a bucket. Pin Pritchard Turn it up, Pritchard. You.  

[01:00:16] Unknown:

This is what you do. He's the opposite of Al Horford. He hits it every time when you do it.  

[01:00:24] Unknown:

You need him to do it because   nobody else will.   No. That's not true. But   I don't know.   Give it a pitch. Paz is a pitch.  

[01:00:34] Unknown:

He has been a big spark plug for us, though.   Yeah.  

[01:00:38] Unknown:

Nice take. Tatum. Nice take. The most. Doing the most.  

[01:00:43] Unknown:

Put the team on your back.   Oh, Jaylen's been a little quiet even though sometimes I say that, and you're like, your house return point. Yeah. Well, he had 13 in the first half. So but it was a quiet 13 because I didn't think he had double digits.  

[01:00:57] Unknown:

How does he do such a thing? How does he move such a way? I don't understand.  

[01:01:06] Unknown:

Walsh really has stopped getting run, I feel like.   Kida also back in the doghouse.   Why?   He just hasn't been playing as much as he played last game.  

[01:01:19] Unknown:

Yeah.   But he hadn't played the day be the night   when we went, maybe when it was. I don't know. Yeah. He didn't play at all. And, I heard Scott say something like he got benched because he wasn't guarding.  

[01:01:32] Unknown:

Yeah. In the game before that one. Yeah. Keita against the Clippers played 25 minutes. Had a good game. 5 of 6. Yeah. Twelve points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists.   I think too, Joe just, for better or worse,   decides, like, this isn't a Keita game. This isn't a Tillman game. This isn't a Cornett game, and he just plays the guys that he thinks   fit into that game.  

[01:01:56] Unknown:

It's tricky.   Yeah. I don't know who else I can't stand.   Steve Kerr.  

[01:02:05] Unknown:

Steve Kristoff.  

[01:02:07] Unknown:

I I saw him. When did we put the game on last night just to have it on?  

[01:02:12] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:02:13] Unknown:

The night before Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah. And it his  

[01:02:17] Unknown:

we didn't even have the volume on, really. Just his face look. His facial expression is annoying. I was, like, ready to It's just a punchable face. TV. It's a punchable face. Mhmm.   And that's what makes them even more annoying is that he's their coach.  

[01:02:35] Unknown:

They're so good. I know I like Steph, though.  

[01:02:39] Unknown:

Yeah. But then I thought you were a little bit cooled off on Steph. Like, you liked Steph, and then you were a little  

[01:02:44] Unknown:

I guess I'm evening out a little bit, but I'm still liking him way more than I ever   imagined I would.  

[01:02:51] Unknown:

Yeah. He's he annoys me, but   he's very good.   You don't wanna go all night?   No. You looking at the clock? Yeah. Alright. Do you have anything to say signing off?  

[01:03:12] Unknown:

Ultimately,   I do believe that we are gonna win this game. This is the last   game for the dunk for diabetes.   Let's go. Get your dunks in get your dunks in for diabetes.   I think we're gonna turn on a win. I could really be wrong about that. I'm just trying to be positive,   the power of positivity.  

[01:03:34] Unknown:

Power of positivity.  

[01:03:36] Unknown:

But   I don't know. Tatum didn't have too much turkey because he's doing good. Yeah. Looks very good. Maybe him and Turner too much turkey. Maybe him and Turner were having some good dialogue.  

[01:03:48] Unknown:

Maybe the the game they were playing that wasn't flip that wasn't Earpong but had a red solo cup.  

[01:03:56] Unknown:

But that's about it. I mean, I hope everybody out there had a great Thanksgiving.   Now it's time for Christmas. It's tomorrow, so make sure you get all your packing I mean, your shopping done Yeah.  

[01:04:09] Unknown:

Perchals, Christmas is already here. So  

[01:04:12] Unknown:

I know. There's still it's still Black Friday for another couple hours. I know I'm sure that the   the   sales will be going on for forever. But  

[01:04:22] Unknown:

I   think it's going on for 3 weeks already, and it will be going on for 3 more weeks. It's the most infuriating thing. I'm from the nineties, so I remember when Black Friday was one day.  

[01:04:34] Unknown:

Remember when we went to   rent them outlets at midnight?   Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. It was like, there was one day. Kristen said they don't open at midnight anymore. They open at 6 AM.   Because nobody goes anymore because you put a shop online. Yeah. And then Black Friday has already been happening for 3 weeks. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. I mean, I'm not I would say I'm   I'm almost done. I haven't gotten one gift from a store in the store.   I don't think. Not one of them.  

[01:05:05] Unknown:

I haven't either, but I am   I will obviously do some online, but I am an in store shopper. I like to do in store shopping.  

[01:05:14] Unknown:

I know. Who who has the time?  

[01:05:16] Unknown:

Me. I do in store shopping   because I feel like I spend too much time when I'm online. Then I'm like, for an hour, I look.   I don't get anything. When I'm in the store, I'm like, I know what I'm there for. Yeah. I go in. I find it. I buy it. I leave. Mhmm. I get pulled in a 1000000 different directions. That's true.  

[01:05:33] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't disagree with you.  

[01:05:36] Unknown:

Then you end up, like, buying 7 things when you went online to get one thing. Yeah.   They know what they're doing. But they just tell you what you need, and you're like, oh, yeah. Sure.   I got talent at train set. Nice. Which one? The 39 piece or the 60 piece?   The bigger one. Yeah. I think that was the right choice. Yeah.  

[01:05:55] Unknown:

But   I don't know if there's anything else I need to get in, but   I probably should just   stop.  

[01:06:03] Unknown:

Just call it?  

[01:06:04] Unknown:

I'm gonna get my dad some thermals   and a golf ball golf ball washer.   It's hard to say. You're gonna do that? Golf ball washer. Yeah.   I guess. I don't know what else to get them.   I don't know.   What do you get for the man that has everything? Well, we also got a well, yeah, I'm not halfway done chopping in. I got a lot to do.  

[01:06:28] Unknown:

You mean not halfway done? I thought you just said you weren't done.  

[01:06:30] Unknown:

I said I was halfway done. You're never done. That's the thing.   Yeah.   Well,   I'm just staring at some Christmas decorations. I better get going.  

[01:06:44] Unknown:

Better get to it.   Alright. Until next time.  

[01:06:47] Unknown:

K.
