00:00:00 These guys are ridiculous.

00:00:02 These guys are ridiculous.

00:00:04 Now, how about them damn Celtics?

00:00:06 And we are back with another episode of How 'bout them Celtics.

00:00:08 Sam and I are here recording on Friday, November 24th.

00:00:10 We just recorded our recap of the Celtics Magic Game.

00:00:12 So if you want to hear our full thoughts on that, go check it out.

00:00:14 Wish I was dead.

00:00:16 Wasn't a fun one.

00:00:18 Celtics got blown out.

00:00:20 Worst loss of the season.

00:00:22 Didn't put up 100 points for the first time this year.

00:00:24 Lost by 17.

00:00:26 Again, you want our full thoughts on that.

00:00:28 Go check it out.

00:00:30 We went for 20 minutes.

00:00:32 It was not the best recap we have ever had to make.

00:00:34 No, we had a good recap.

00:00:36 We talked about --

00:00:38 Not the most fun.

00:00:40 Not the most fun recap we have gotten to make here.

00:00:42 We are recording this a day earlier than we normally would.

00:00:44 We usually record these on Saturday.

00:00:46 I am going out tomorrow.

00:00:48 I am going to watch the Michigan Ohio State game.

00:00:50 You are watching it too.

00:00:52 We are both going to be watching that game.

00:00:54 Rooting for different sides.

00:00:56 I am rooting for Michigan.

00:00:58 I am rooting for Ohio State.

00:01:00 I am rooting for Ohio State.

00:01:02 Mo Wagner killed the Celtics.

00:01:04 I can respect that.

00:01:06 I am a big Trey Burke fan.

00:01:08 Trey Burke fucked me back in the day.

00:01:10 [Laughter]

00:01:12 In eighth grade, we did a bracket challenge.

00:01:14 I was going to win.

00:01:16 I had Kansas winning in 2013.

00:01:18 Trey Burke in Michigan.

00:01:20 I was going to win.

00:01:22 I had Kansas winning in 2013.

00:01:24 Trey Burke in Michigan beat Kansas in the final four.

00:01:26 Once Kansas goes down, all I need is for Michigan to go on and win.

00:01:28 I would have won.

00:01:30 They lose.

00:01:32 Talk to me.

00:01:34 Louisville.

00:01:36 It is actually Mickey Mouse erased because of that rat patina.

00:01:38 Very true.

00:01:40 We should do a challenge this summer.

00:01:42 Is there something Sam can't find over there?

00:01:44 I think so.

00:01:46 I think so.

00:01:48 I think so.

00:01:50 I think so.

00:01:52 Is there something Sam can't find a way to hate?

00:01:54 I think that would be a good segment.

00:01:56 We should do a show on that.

00:01:58 That is a true anecdote.

00:02:00 I know.

00:02:02 That really happened to me.

00:02:04 I believe you.

00:02:06 I am just saying.

00:02:08 It is incredible.

00:02:10 One thing Sam can never hate, however, is Impopnito.

00:02:12 We are going to pick the Impopnito winner.

00:02:14 I hate Impopnito.

00:02:16 You talk while I put them in the wheel.

00:02:18 I did forget to put them in the wheel.

00:02:20 I will put them in the wheel.

00:02:22 Jack and I were sent 10 Impopnito bags.

00:02:24 I have three empty ones.

00:02:26 I have polished off within the last 24 hours.

00:02:28 This product is no joke.

00:02:30 It is excellent.

00:02:32 You definitely want to be the wheel winner.

00:02:34 If you are, $10 to you on the website.

00:02:36 You can buy a bag for yourself for free with that $10.

00:02:38 Then obviously you can shop more.

00:02:40 Great gift for the holidays.

00:02:42 I love it.

00:02:44 I love it.

00:02:46 I love it.

00:02:48 Great gift for the holidays.

00:02:50 People do the little popcorn bins for Christmas.

00:02:52 Look no further.

00:02:54 Some of the greatest popcorn you could ever put in a bin.

00:02:56 Get you some Impopnito.

00:02:58 The best comment we got on the last podcast was Joey Spatula commenting,

00:03:00 "I just yelled 'fuck' so loud my wife was concerned."

00:03:02 He almost won.

00:03:04 I will throw it in here.

00:03:06 Mark it down.

00:03:08 [Music]

00:03:10 [Music]

00:03:12 [Music]

00:03:14 [Music]

00:03:16 [Music]

00:03:18 [Music]

00:03:20 Going to be the winner.

00:03:22 Dakota Wilkins!

00:03:24 Shout out Dakota.

00:03:26 Joey Spatula is going to watch this and see just how good he was.

00:03:28 That is a heart breaking defeat for Joey Spatula.

00:03:30 That is whip your phone.

00:03:32 [Music]

00:03:34 Joey Spatula was one wheel away.

00:03:36 One slot away from winning.

00:03:38 He just commented,

00:03:40 "I just yelled 'fuck' so loud my wife was concerned."

00:03:42 He scared his wife out of a room.

00:03:44 He scared his wife out of a rage of not winning the popcorn.

00:03:46 I don't know if we got a Joey Spatula redemption.

00:03:48 We do.

00:03:50 We do have a Joey Spatula redemption on this wheel.

00:03:52 Let's see if Joey can get some redemption here.

00:03:54 If he wins, then this is Mickey Mouse fake.

00:03:56 He cannot win this time.

00:03:58 We have to actively root against Joey Spatula.

00:04:00 If he wins, it looks like we rig it.

00:04:02 I know.

00:04:04 You see the wheel.

00:04:06 Nine entries this week.

00:04:08 Let's see who is winning some Impopnito.

00:04:10 [Music]

00:04:12 Let's see who is winning some Impopnito.

00:04:14 [Music]

00:04:16 Who is it going to be?

00:04:18 [Music]

00:04:20 Joey Spatula!

00:04:22 [Music]

00:04:24 We did not rig this.

00:04:26 You saw the spin right there.

00:04:28 [Laughter]

00:04:30 This is going to be the part of my

00:04:32 Take Lottery Ball controversy

00:04:34 that I have going on right now.

00:04:36 It was so close to Joey not winning.

00:04:38 Look at this.

00:04:40 Look at this.

00:04:42 Look at it.

00:04:44 I'm sorry Michael.

00:04:46 Michael is another constant entry.

00:04:48 One of the goats.

00:04:50 Joey though.

00:04:52 We will get in contact with you.

00:04:54 It's easy.

00:04:56 You have sent me some DMs before.

00:04:58 What a redemption arc.

00:05:00 What a great way to kick off the pod.

00:05:02 You saw it.

00:05:04 We do it live every time.

00:05:06 We make sure not to rig it.

00:05:08 We get you in there.

00:05:10 My favorite thing about doing the wheel

00:05:12 is after it's done and way before the pod is up

00:05:14 just going in the YouTube comments

00:05:16 and going "Guess what buddy?" to the winner.

00:05:18 [Laughter]

00:05:20 Joey will get the message this time.

00:05:22 Alright.

00:05:24 Let's start with some in-season tournament

00:05:26 updates because it is now relevant for the Celtics.

00:05:28 With the Celtics' loss

00:05:30 to the Orlando Magic

00:05:32 on Friday, which is now a couple days ago

00:05:34 as you guys are listening to this.

00:05:36 They are second in their group in the in-season tournament.

00:05:38 The Magic

00:05:40 and the Celtics, or excuse me,

00:05:42 the Magic are 3-1, the Celtics are 2-1.

00:05:44 And because the Celtics lost by 17

00:05:46 they now have a net zero point differential.

00:05:48 So,

00:05:50 the only ways the Celtics can advance, obviously,

00:05:52 are by winning the group for the wild card.

00:05:54 To win the group, the Celtics need some things to happen now.

00:05:56 In order for the Celtics to win the group

00:05:58 they need to beat

00:06:00 the Bulls

00:06:02 in their fourth and final game

00:06:04 by at least 23 points.

00:06:06 And they need the Nets to beat the Raptors.

00:06:10 Because the way this works is

00:06:12 if it is a two-way tie atop the group,

00:06:16 so let's say the Celtics win

00:06:18 by 23 or however many,

00:06:20 and the Nets lose.

00:06:22 That would mean the Nets are 2-2,

00:06:24 the Celtics and Magic are both 3-1.

00:06:26 However, since it's a two-way tie

00:06:28 it goes to whoever won in the group play.

00:06:30 And since the Magic beat the Celtics,

00:06:32 the Magic would advance.

00:06:34 However, if the Nets win,

00:06:36 they are 3-1, and the Celtics win,

00:06:38 they are 3-1, and the Magic are 3-1,

00:06:40 since it's a three-way tie,

00:06:42 it would automatically go to point differential.

00:06:44 And at that point, since the Magic

00:06:46 finished the group play with a +22 point differential,

00:06:48 the Celtics will have needed

00:06:50 to beat the Bulls by at least 23.

00:06:52 So, if the Nets lose,

00:06:54 the Celtics can't advance by way of winning the group.

00:06:56 If the Nets win,

00:06:58 and the Celtics don't win by 23,

00:07:00 the Celtics do not win the group.

00:07:02 They still have a chance in the wild card,

00:07:04 but they still have a chance to win the group.

00:07:06 They just need two very specific things to happen,

00:07:08 and that is that.

00:07:10 And Sam and I would appreciate it if they did that,

00:07:12 because that would make our lives more fun.

00:07:14 So, taking a look at the standings,

00:07:16 Celtics essentially

00:07:20 have some good news.

00:07:22 Here's some good news.

00:07:24 So,

00:07:26 this is the wild card, what I'm talking about.

00:07:28 Above the Celtics

00:07:30 in the wild card race

00:07:32 is Miami, who has two games yet to play.

00:07:34 One, as we're recording this,

00:07:36 will be tonight. So, by the time you listen,

00:07:38 you'll know if they won or not.

00:07:40 You have Brooklyn, who directly impacts

00:07:42 Boston's ability to win the group.

00:07:44 So, if the Nets lose,

00:07:46 and the Celtics have no other way

00:07:48 to advance

00:07:50 other than making it through the wild card,

00:07:52 the Nets will have dropped below them.

00:07:56 Cleveland,

00:07:58 who is one team I really don't...

00:08:00 Let's see, they have Atlanta in the last game.

00:08:02 So, I really don't know

00:08:04 exactly

00:08:06 what's going to happen there.

00:08:08 But, there's Milwaukee

00:08:10 and there's Miami.

00:08:12 One of those teams has to lose

00:08:14 because they play each other in the last game

00:08:16 of their group. So, you're going to get some help.

00:08:18 It's not out of the question...

00:08:20 or out of

00:08:22 the realm of possibility that the Celtics

00:08:24 will still move on.

00:08:26 But, they've essentially

00:08:28 made a mockery of themselves.

00:08:30 Tell me if you've heard that one before.

00:08:32 I think... Celtics before the season...

00:08:34 Go ahead. I was going to say

00:08:36 the most important thing, while it is possible

00:08:38 for them to...

00:08:40 the Nets need to win too. The most important thing

00:08:42 now, for everything, is to

00:08:44 blow out the Bulls

00:08:46 in the next game. Because even if they finish

00:08:48 3-1, the Nets, the Cavs, and the Heat still

00:08:50 have a chance to finish 3-1. And all of

00:08:52 them have a significant point

00:08:54 differential advantage in their

00:08:56 overall

00:08:58 here. So, the Celtics

00:09:00 need to stomp the Bulls.

00:09:02 They need a 51-point win, like the Pacers

00:09:04 game, if they want a chance. So, that's the most

00:09:06 important thing. Alright, go ahead.

00:09:08 So... Well, how great would a

00:09:10 51-point win be?

00:09:12 I could use a 51-point win.

00:09:14 So, before the season, the Celtics were

00:09:16 given their group, as was

00:09:18 the rest of the NBA. And the Celtics got

00:09:20 the most Mickey Mouse group of all the groups.

00:09:22 It was the easiest group.

00:09:24 And now the Celtics, after losing one game to

00:09:26 Orlando, are in a position where they may not

00:09:28 win the group. They may...

00:09:30 they may wind up not

00:09:32 advancing in the tournament at all. The Celtics

00:09:34 entered this tournament as the odds-on

00:09:36 favorite to win the tournament.

00:09:38 And because they decided to play like absolute

00:09:40 asshats for the second half in Orlando,

00:09:42 that is all

00:09:44 awash. It's up in the air. You don't

00:09:46 know what's going to happen. Tuesday is

00:09:48 going to be a big day. Tune in.

00:09:50 Watch the stupid courts.

00:09:52 I agree. First of all.

00:09:56 First and foremost, Celtics should have won this group.

00:09:58 Mickey Mouse group. Sure. In hindsight,

00:10:00 is the Lakers group

00:10:02 worse? Because the match occurred a lot better than people

00:10:04 expected, and all of the teams in the

00:10:06 Lakers group are a lot worse than people expected.

00:10:08 It might be Mickey Mouse too. That would be very on-brand

00:10:10 for the Lakers. And LeBron.

00:10:12 Because the Suns have been dealing with injuries

00:10:14 all year, so they haven't been healthy. That would be Mickey Mouse

00:10:16 for sure. Jazz stink.

00:10:18 They do. Blazers stink.

00:10:20 Grizzlies stink. Blazers stink out loud.

00:10:22 And Grizzlies' unexpected stink.

00:10:24 So, again,

00:10:26 this is not an excuse for the Celtics,

00:10:28 saying, "Oh, their group's worse." It doesn't

00:10:30 matter. Win your group, be better.

00:10:32 That said, in hindsight,

00:10:34 Magic, very good team.

00:10:36 And also, I mean,

00:10:38 Nets, Bulls, Raptors kind of stink.

00:10:40 Nets okay, but Bulls and Raptors stink.

00:10:42 Anyways, just a little

00:10:44 bit of what the Lakers hate. Early in the pod, why not?

00:10:46 You never can get enough.

00:10:48 You see their point differential?

00:10:50 What'd you say? You see the Lakers'

00:10:52 point differential. What is it?

00:10:54 Plus 74. Celtics would have

00:10:56 at least plus 75.

00:10:58 For what? In that group?

00:11:00 If they were in that group. Yeah, yeah, I agree.

00:11:02 At least.

00:11:04 Agree. Alright.

00:11:06 Next Celtics thing we're talking about here is injuries.

00:11:08 Not a fun thing. Another not fun thing.

00:11:10 Because they've started to sort of, like,

00:11:12 New England Baptist Hospital is getting some publicity lately.

00:11:14 I hate New England Baptist Hospital.

00:11:16 I hate New England Baptist Hospital

00:11:20 so much. You know how,

00:11:22 the amount of people they may have saved, they have

00:11:24 created in pain for me.

00:11:26 The scale is balanced.

00:11:28 For the amount of hardship they've caused

00:11:30 millions of Celtics fans,

00:11:32 sure, they've probably saved some lives, but

00:11:34 you really have to be a scumbag

00:11:36 to advertise and really

00:11:38 capitalize on the injuries of others.

00:11:40 That's what I would say. Wouldn't you agree?

00:11:42 I must not speak.

00:11:46 I do not wish to speak.

00:11:48 I'd be in big trouble.

00:12:30 Jalen Brown was hurt

00:12:34 briefly because he slipped on the in-season tournament court.

00:12:36 By the way, more slippage than in-season tournament courts.

00:12:38 Out. Fuck off.

00:12:40 Drew Holiday missed today's game

00:12:44 against, or today's recording this.

00:12:46 Missed the Magic game with a sprained ankle.

00:12:48 Christops Porzingis was out

00:12:50 midway through the game because he tweaked his leg running on the court.

00:12:52 Obviously, Christops is

00:12:54 injury prone. Drew Holiday, Jalen Brown,

00:12:56 not always so much.

00:12:58 Is there any level of, also

00:13:00 update on Christops Porzingis just because

00:13:02 this is a podcast and we do that.

00:13:04 Gary Washburn of the Globe

00:13:06 said Christops Porzingis tells the Globe that he'll have

00:13:08 an MRI on his left calf tomorrow,

00:13:10 which again is yesterday as you're listening

00:13:12 to this. So apologies, we don't have the

00:13:14 latest update for you because we were recording it early.

00:13:16 But he says he doesn't think the injury is

00:13:18 too serious, said he felt a tweak running

00:13:20 the floor, did not slip.

00:13:22 My question to you,

00:13:24 any worries on the injury front

00:13:26 for the Celtics now that we've seen the little

00:13:28 Knicks start to pop up, or do you think this is just

00:13:30 injuries happen throughout the course of the season, it's still

00:13:32 okay? So,

00:13:34 I'd say I definitely have some

00:13:36 worry.

00:13:38 It's always worrisome

00:13:40 when they're injured versus not

00:13:42 injured. It's also worrisome

00:13:44 when you see the Celtics have to play

00:13:46 with injuries or without guys because

00:13:48 they're injured, and they look like

00:13:50 a team of toddlers trying to

00:13:52 squirm the magic and stop the magic.

00:13:54 So my

00:13:56 level of concern comes from the

00:13:58 "I don't trust them to win games with just

00:14:00 Coleman Brown. I think they need Holiday and

00:14:02 Porzingis to be a successful team."

00:14:04 And Derek Wight, too.

00:14:06 But,

00:14:08 injury concern

00:14:10 as of Friday at 5.52?

00:14:12 Two?

00:14:14 Okay. Yeah, good.

00:14:16 I agree. And he walked off the floor

00:14:18 in his own power. I don't think it's great that

00:14:20 he came out

00:14:22 of the game and didn't come back.

00:14:24 I also think if there's ever a time to be

00:14:26 cautious, now is the time.

00:14:28 Maybe not an in-season tournament.

00:14:30 Sure. Maybe not an in-season tournament.

00:14:32 In terms of timing of the year, everyone

00:14:34 knows what the Celtics are playing for.

00:14:36 If you can take Porzingis out of

00:14:38 a game at halftime of a November

00:14:40 24th game, regardless of the in-season tournament,

00:14:42 to preserve him, you do it.

00:14:44 If you can rest Drew Holiday,

00:14:46 if he's even feeling a little bit off and there's a risk

00:14:48 that he could tweak it further, you do it.

00:14:50 So I'm not overly worried

00:14:52 about either of those injuries.

00:14:54 I'm not worried about Tatum or Brown. I'm going to knock on

00:14:56 wood here real quick. However,

00:14:58 it just feels like... Well, Brown might have CTE

00:15:00 second half.

00:15:02 [laughter]

00:15:04 [laughter]

00:15:06 [laughter]

00:15:08 I'm not too worried

00:15:10 about just being overly

00:15:12 cautious with their guys because they

00:15:14 know some guys have dealt with injuries in the past.

00:15:16 It's just something to note at this

00:15:18 point. I'm bummed because Jalen

00:15:20 played a great game on Wednesday and I was so excited

00:15:22 when he came out and played really great in the first quarter.

00:15:24 He played a great first half.

00:15:26 It was just a really rough second half.

00:15:28 I don't blame him completely.

00:15:30 I don't blame him completely because

00:15:32 it did feel like he had to press a little bit because the rest of the

00:15:34 offense was just ass and didn't do

00:15:36 anything. However,

00:15:38 it was bad.

00:15:40 I thought about you when I was watching the game and I

00:15:42 saw Jalen. The Celtics would be kind of

00:15:44 reeling and then Jalen would be like

00:15:46 "It's Jalen time" and he would try and drive into the

00:15:48 paint with like five people in front of him.

00:15:50 I was like, "Oh, this is why

00:15:52 Jack wrote that article being all mean to Jalen."

00:15:54 I'm not doing it out of spite, people.

00:15:58 I watch the games.

00:16:00 I see Jalen do a hard crossover

00:16:02 and I'm like, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!"

00:16:04 I really don't want to

00:16:06 see a turnover. Please stop.

00:16:08 He was really rough around

00:16:10 the rim today, which usually doesn't happen for him.

00:16:12 The one for me that did it was

00:16:14 there was like eight minutes left in the game.

00:16:16 They just got a turnover. They cut it down to

00:16:18 11 points and he just pulled up

00:16:20 from three in transition. I was like,

00:16:22 "Damn."

00:16:24 Play the Seinfeld video. "The fuck you doing,

00:16:26 you little piece of shit?"

00:16:28 *imitates Seinfeld theme*

00:16:30 *laughs*

00:16:32 Injuries, anyways. I'm still okay.

00:16:34 Next thing I have is, speaking of

00:16:36 somebody who's injured, I want to

00:16:38 start a dialogue here.

00:16:40 I've been saying this, dog.

00:16:42 You were saying this. Fine, we're going to

00:16:44 start a dialogue because we just did a video on

00:16:46 Christoph Porzingis' aggressiveness.

00:16:48 You guys seemed to like it.

00:16:50 You watched the video. We got some nice comments

00:16:52 saying we should do more film stuff.

00:16:54 We're going to react to stuff more.

00:16:56 I think we enjoy those videos just as much.

00:16:58 It feels like they should start playing

00:17:00 through Porzingis even more than they already are.

00:17:02 I don't know what his usage percentage

00:17:04 or all those advanced stats is off the top of the head.

00:17:06 What I do know is-

00:17:08 It's not high enough.

00:17:10 Exactly. What I do know is I'm going to pull up a couple clips

00:17:12 from the Orlando game, particularly his two assists.

00:17:14 Because you look at these two assists

00:17:16 and the first thing that should jump to your head

00:17:18 is, "Wow, the Celtics should probably

00:17:20 play through this guy more."

00:17:22 He should probably be in almost every single

00:17:24 action that's ever on the court

00:17:26 because he is a walking mismatch

00:17:28 because of how much talent is around him.

00:17:30 Watch this play. Tatum, pretty aggressive

00:17:32 solid defense by a smaller defender here.

00:17:34 Flex the arm a little. Sets a scream.

00:17:36 Has to get it to him. Look at that pass.

00:17:38 Look how quick this is.

00:17:40 Splits two defenders. Here you go, Tatum.

00:17:42 Dunk. Easy.

00:17:44 I tweeted about this.

00:17:46 Somebody- yeah, Tatum did get a tag for me.

00:17:48 The NBA-

00:17:50 This guy on Twitter, Max, tweeted this.

00:17:52 I retweeted him.

00:17:54 They really want these guys to break their neck

00:17:56 because they do not like them

00:17:58 bracing for safety on the hang on the rim.

00:18:00 Like, what do you want them to do?

00:18:02 You want them to let go and do a backflip?

00:18:04 [laughter]

00:18:06 Yeah.

00:18:08 Excuse me.

00:18:10 I'm sorry. I'm taking away from Chris Robb's praise.

00:18:12 Somebody replied to this with-

00:18:14 Hold on. I have to pull it up for the full effect.

00:18:16 Pull it up.

00:18:18 This was

00:18:20 someone's response to me tweeting about how cool this was

00:18:22 and how much it was to see.

00:18:24 [laughter]

00:18:26 Literally a bounce pass.

00:18:28 Literally a bounce pass.

00:18:30 In his defense, it is literally a bounce pass.

00:18:32 But he split two defenders here. It was a nice read.

00:18:34 And again, Celtic should play through more.

00:18:36 Celtic's second assist-

00:18:38 or Chris Robb's second assist, I should say.

00:18:40 Sets a screen for Derek White. Top of the key.

00:18:42 Finds Chris Robb's Porzingis at the top.

00:18:44 Jalen Brown fakes the handoff.

00:18:46 Finds him inside.

00:18:48 Beautiful pass. Nice Jalen dunk.

00:18:50 Chris Robb's Porzingis is a great passer.

00:18:52 And not only that,

00:18:54 he is tall enough where he can make passes up high.

00:18:56 He is skilled enough to make them down low.

00:18:58 He can see around guys.

00:19:00 He can make the reads.

00:19:02 He sets a screen, and you have to account for his three-point shooting.

00:19:04 He's great cutting and being aggressive around the rim.

00:19:06 We just did a video on it.

00:19:08 His skill set

00:19:10 is so unique

00:19:12 and transforms this Celtic's offense so much

00:19:14 that it is

00:19:16 almost always

00:19:18 a bad idea to just have him

00:19:20 doing nothing. Right? Like, he's too good

00:19:22 for him just to be off the ball all the time.

00:19:24 Like, again, I don't know what his user's

00:19:26 percentage is. I'll look now while you're talking, and then

00:19:28 we'll wrap back around. But like,

00:19:30 it just feels like the Celtics should

00:19:32 go to him more in the role where he has

00:19:34 the ball in his hands making those reads. He's not

00:19:36 Jokic, but they should play him like

00:19:38 Jokic for larger

00:19:40 portions of the game than they currently do.

00:19:42 Yeah, you beat me to it. I'm

00:19:44 so pissed. Like, that was like your last

00:19:46 two sentences of what you said. I'm sorry.

00:19:48 It feels like I was in a draft

00:19:50 and I got sniped on what pick

00:19:52 I was going to take. I took Porzingis.

00:19:54 Yeah, it happened in real life. It was horrible.

00:19:56 But, I was

00:19:58 literally going to say, "Yeah, this must be what it's like to

00:20:00 have Jokic on your team. Just diamond guys

00:20:02 up out of that fake handoff, and

00:20:04 there's nothing anyone can do about it."

00:20:06 It is truly OP.

00:20:08 Overpowered, if you are really good at that.

00:20:10 Porzingis

00:20:12 has been far better than I

00:20:14 think anybody expected him to be

00:20:16 coming into the season. I thought

00:20:18 he would be good, but we didn't think he would be like

00:20:20 maybe they should do everything

00:20:22 through him good. And

00:20:24 I see

00:20:26 the vision. I see

00:20:28 how you can make things easier on Jalen

00:20:30 Brown and Jason Tatum by just having them run

00:20:32 around instead of having to create shots.

00:20:34 Why do that? Just have them play wide

00:20:36 receiver and beat the defender without the ball.

00:20:38 Porzingis

00:20:40 is just...

00:20:42 Also, by

00:20:44 having him set guys up. Now, it's not the only

00:20:46 thing they should ever do. But, by making

00:20:48 it a larger part of your offense, you're

00:20:50 creating more of those times where the

00:20:52 defense has to make a decision. They're like,

00:20:54 "Do we send two at him? Yes or no?"

00:20:56 And if they do,

00:20:58 someone's open. Who's it going to be?

00:21:00 Who's getting the free shot?

00:21:02 That should be as simple as it comes

00:21:04 and it should be a staple

00:21:06 of their late game offense, whether it's him

00:21:08 or Jason Tatum. Why can't Jason Tatum

00:21:10 do the fake handoff?

00:21:12 Yeah. No, I agree with you.

00:21:14 Kristof's usage percentage, I was

00:21:16 looking it up. It's at 22%

00:21:18 for context. Other

00:21:20 22% usage rate guys.

00:21:22 And this is filtered by at least 200 minutes played

00:21:24 this season. At least 10 games played.

00:21:26 Bobby Portis,

00:21:28 Mo Wagner, Ben Matherin,

00:21:30 Michael Porter Jr., Devin

00:21:32 Vassell. And there's some good

00:21:34 players like Devin Vassell, like Shaden Sharps

00:21:36 around there, Mluchevic is around

00:21:38 there. However, he's third on

00:21:40 the Celtics.

00:21:42 Behind Tatum and Brown, obviously Tatum.

00:21:44 His usage

00:21:46 percentage is at, if the page

00:21:48 stops glitching, I believe he's above 30

00:21:50 right now. No, he's at

00:21:52 28.9. Brown's at 27.9.

00:21:54 Then a huge dip off to 22

00:21:56 at Porzingis. And then the

00:21:58 rest of the starters are at 17.6, 17.5

00:22:00 for Holiday White, you know,

00:22:02 progressively, respectively.

00:22:04 But, feels like

00:22:06 Kristof's usage percentage should be a lot

00:22:08 closer to Jalen's than it should the next

00:22:10 guy. That's not where it's at right now.

00:22:12 Kristof's is too good.

00:22:14 And, again, Jalen

00:22:16 and Jason are the best players. It is what it is.

00:22:18 Impact?

00:22:20 Kristof's.

00:22:22 Up here. Like, his impact

00:22:24 on the Celtics offense is

00:22:26 so, so, so good.

00:22:28 I want to see on/off

00:22:30 numbers for the Celtics.

00:22:32 I'll let you talk again and I can look. But, I bet

00:22:34 you money that the on/off

00:22:36 numbers...

00:22:38 Sorry. I have the talking

00:22:40 stick. Just, just...

00:22:42 I'm going to say, I'm going to go back to you and I'm going to look this up.

00:22:44 No, I wanted you to make your point. I was just...

00:22:46 I thought the wording was...

00:22:48 That the Celtics offense

00:22:50 with Kristof's on/off

00:22:52 the court, I bet his on/off numbers

00:22:54 are closer

00:22:56 to Tatum's than Brown's. Do you know what I'm saying?

00:22:58 Tatum's... I don't think that's outrageous.

00:23:00 Especially after watching them play Orlando. Once he went

00:23:02 out of the game, they had nothing.

00:23:04 They were lost out there, dude. They needed

00:23:06 their rescue guide dog. I don't think

00:23:08 that should...

00:23:10 I don't think that should be lost in translation, too.

00:23:12 There's no excuse for the way the Celtics ended

00:23:14 that Magic game. But you could see the difference

00:23:16 in offense with and without Kristof's on the floor.

00:23:18 They were lost. They had nothing. And, again,

00:23:20 that's not an excuse. They need to be better with him and not out there

00:23:22 because they have the talent to be.

00:23:24 You can pretty clearly see

00:23:26 how impactful

00:23:28 Kristof's forzing is

00:23:30 on this team's offense.

00:23:32 Yeah.

00:23:34 It's true. He's awesome.

00:23:36 He does everything.

00:23:38 He can make decisions

00:23:40 from the high post. He can make

00:23:42 threes. He can create out

00:23:44 of the post. And he does super cool dunks.

00:23:46 Super cool dunks.

00:23:48 I do wish

00:23:50 he was a bit more physical on the defensive glass

00:23:52 because even before he went out of the game,

00:23:54 they were struggling to

00:23:56 limit Orlando to just

00:23:58 one shot. But,

00:24:00 if that's the one flaw,

00:24:02 fine. But, I mean, that is a

00:24:04 tough flaw to have. I mean, I hate watching offensive

00:24:06 rebounds.

00:24:08 Yeah. No, you're totally right.

00:24:10 Um,

00:24:12 hopefully I don't look stupid here. With Kristof's

00:24:14 on the court,

00:24:16 Celtics offensive rating is

00:24:18 116. Without him, it's 114

00:24:20 too. So, there is a significant gap here.

00:24:22 Celtics offense with Jalen Brown

00:24:24 on the court is a 114.6.

00:24:26 Without him, it's a 116.9.

00:24:28 So, the Celtics offense is better with

00:24:30 Jalen Brown off the court. And it's worse with Kristof's

00:24:32 off the court.

00:24:34 This isn't a knock on Jalen Brown. I don't want to

00:24:36 turn into that because a lot of that is

00:24:38 Jason Tatum is not equipped to run the

00:24:40 starless lineups. And he's been doing that

00:24:42 a decent amount and hasn't gone well. So, I think that's where

00:24:44 a lot of the stats come from. However,

00:24:46 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:24:48 Jalen Brown is not equipped is

00:24:50 what I meant.

00:24:52 But yeah, dude. It's such a

00:24:54 different team.

00:24:56 Um,

00:24:58 with, uh, Kristof's

00:25:00 on the court. Sorry, I'm like, I'm trying to look at another

00:25:02 stat here. Stats are the absolute

00:25:04 worst thing ever. Because you really, I mean,

00:25:06 you got lucky that time. But sometimes you think

00:25:08 you have something. And they're like, actually, you're a

00:25:10 f*cking moron.

00:25:12 You got rocks for brains, buddy.

00:25:14 Yeah, man. No, no. Kristof's, he's been

00:25:18 a game changer this year. I mean, we talked about it before

00:25:20 the season. We were like, he's going to

00:25:22 completely change the way the Celtics play offense.

00:25:24 And guess what he's done? He's completely changed the way

00:25:26 the Celtics can play offense, but they should

00:25:28 do it more. Was it you that said they

00:25:30 miss, uh, they miss Drew Holiday a

00:25:32 lot today on the glass?

00:25:34 Not on the glass, but in the physicality center,

00:25:36 which I guess you could translate it to that. Yeah.

00:25:38 I forget who I saw say that,

00:25:40 but they're right. So shout out to them.

00:25:42 It was me. I said it when we just recorded.

00:25:44 I said Drew Holiday. I said the Celtics

00:25:46 got beat on physicality, and Drew Holiday

00:25:48 brings a lot of that by guarding the figs.

00:25:50 No, I know you said that,

00:25:54 but I do think somebody actually, like,

00:25:56 tweeted the rebounding directly

00:25:58 would have been something he would have helped, which is

00:26:00 fact. Sure. I can, like, when

00:26:02 I saw Drew Holiday's ankle was hurting him, I did

00:26:04 not think, "Sh*t, they're not getting any

00:26:06 rebounds today." But it might actually be

00:26:08 a little bit of a correlation.

00:26:10 Yeah. I

00:26:12 agree. I mean, the Celtics

00:26:14 just got f*cking killed by the Magic.

00:26:16 We can call this a murder.

00:26:18 Anyways, to wrap this,

00:26:20 play through Chris Topps more. That is

00:26:22 that is

00:26:24 our decree. And if Chris Topps turns out

00:26:26 to be up for the season, tank.

00:26:28 Back to the Grizzlies point.

00:26:30 Sh*t!

00:26:32 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:26:34 Next thing we have is Kevin Garnett,

00:26:36 Celtics legend,

00:26:38 talking

00:26:40 about the current state of the NBA. Now,

00:26:42 not in a way you might think. He defended

00:26:44 the current NBA. I believe this was on,

00:26:46 I'm not sure if this was on his podcast, but... KG

00:26:48 certified, I think. Yes, KG.

00:26:50 The problem, I think... Maybe not.

00:26:52 I'm telling an ESPN person. I don't know.

00:26:54 He said it. Yes.

00:26:56 KG said this. "The problem, I think, with

00:26:58 today is that we are so caught up on the

00:27:00 yesteryear of the culture and the history that built the

00:27:02 league that, bro, we're missing out on the

00:27:04 greatness that's right in front of us. LeBron James

00:27:06 is 30 f*cking years old

00:27:08 doing something we ain't even seen.

00:27:10 We got a whole 7'6" Frenchman in the

00:27:12 goddamn league. He's a rookie looking like

00:27:14 year 2, 3 player, looking like he's a guard.

00:27:16 He nutmegged a guard. Listen,

00:27:18 Wilt Chamberlain is rolling over in his grave right now

00:27:20 if we told him that a 6'10" playing center

00:27:22 jumps this high

00:27:24 and is the blah, blah, blah.

00:27:26 I mean, this is something that I talk about a lot

00:27:28 on this podcast

00:27:30 in general. Like, I

00:27:32 cannot f*cking stand that. Well, back in this

00:27:34 day, like I saw someone today, I

00:27:36 posted the injury of the Christoph Sporzingis

00:27:38 getting hurt. He just goes,

00:27:40 "This dude wouldn't f*cking survive in the 90s."

00:27:42 I'm like, "He wouldn't, dude. He'd be f*cked."

00:27:44 I was like, "Bro, he tweaked his leg

00:27:46 running. Like, what the f*ck is wrong?"

00:27:48 The olden crowd that's like,

00:27:50 "Oh, this, this, this." Well, guess what?

00:27:52 Go watch f*cking replays of that. Don't watch.

00:27:54 If you're just gonna complain, f*ck off.

00:27:56 That's one of my biggest

00:27:58 pet peeves in the league. So I agree with KG.

00:28:00 Shout out.

00:28:02 KG's always

00:28:04 a tree. I love KG.

00:28:06 I love KG. What a beast.

00:28:08 I think the league's fine. I wish

00:28:10 there was more diversity in the way

00:28:12 the game is played, though. But in terms

00:28:14 of the talent in the league, you really can't argue with it.

00:28:16 Like, I don't really hate on the levels of

00:28:18 talent. I'm actually excited for expansion. I think

00:28:20 the amount of

00:28:22 sheer stars in this league and

00:28:24 players that can contribute is

00:28:26 too high on a lot of teams.

00:28:28 And it makes it so expansion is actually

00:28:30 gonna really, really help the league. Because you're

00:28:32 gonna see even more players become

00:28:34 respected household names.

00:28:36 But, I don't

00:28:38 know, man. I don't like how

00:28:40 everyone just does the three-point thing now.

00:28:42 It's boring.

00:28:44 It's boring, but it's not. I'm always gonna like basketball.

00:28:46 But if you watch,

00:28:48 and maybe this'll come back with

00:28:50 expansion, because they won't be able to just

00:28:52 pick and choose what guys they want, because

00:28:54 there's gonna be more teams

00:28:56 going after guys. There's gonna be less

00:28:58 talent available.

00:29:00 Pretty much is the whole point of expansion.

00:29:02 But if you go and watch a game from, like,

00:29:04 go on the NBA's

00:29:06 YouTube. They have the whole

00:29:08 LeBron Heat debut, when they

00:29:10 played the Celtics in 2010

00:29:12 in the fall. And

00:29:14 the game is just way different.

00:29:16 And all of these different type

00:29:18 of players were able

00:29:20 to have roles within

00:29:22 the game. And that just doesn't really

00:29:24 happen today.

00:29:26 Because it's just like, you're either the star

00:29:28 or you're a sit-in-the-corner-and-shoot-threes

00:29:30 guy, like it's 2K. Now, listen,

00:29:32 it's not terrible. Like, I'm not

00:29:34 saying, like, this league sucks

00:29:36 and nobody should watch

00:29:38 it. No. But I think it was, like,

00:29:40 almost more fun, because you'd have, like,

00:29:42 I don't know. For example,

00:29:44 Kendrick Perkins was, like, a long-time

00:29:46 starter in the NBA.

00:29:48 If he was coming up today, he wouldn't

00:29:50 have even got a chance.

00:29:52 Because he can't

00:29:54 shoot threes. Now, if he grew up today,

00:29:56 he'd probably have to learn differently.

00:29:58 Which is, like, a whole 'nother discussion. But

00:30:00 just, like, in a vacuum,

00:30:02 the diversity in play styles just does not

00:30:04 exist, which makes it a bit flat.

00:30:06 But in terms of talent, the

00:30:08 reason why the league is able

00:30:10 to just kind of nullify

00:30:12 all of those diverse play styles is because there

00:30:14 are guys like Wemby and Chet

00:30:16 that are just freaks,

00:30:18 and they're talented, and they're skilled.

00:30:20 So there's good sides

00:30:22 to all of it, but I don't know.

00:30:24 I know what you mean. Like,

00:30:26 I understand it, but I also just think that's

00:30:28 a matter of

00:30:30 the league naturally...

00:30:32 It evolves.

00:30:34 It evolves, but it also, like,

00:30:36 I don't want to, like,

00:30:38 say it's all analytics, but, like,

00:30:40 the league... Well, analytics suck, so you better watch

00:30:42 your tone. Well, it's just like,

00:30:44 the league emphasizes

00:30:46 what will get them the most efficient

00:30:48 scoring, the most efficient defense.

00:30:50 And so, people who can shoot threes,

00:30:52 I mean, now,

00:30:54 this is bold,

00:30:56 three is worth

00:30:58 more than two. So, like, they're just

00:31:00 naturally going to find ways.

00:31:02 They're just naturally going to find ways.

00:31:04 You know I have a whole vendetta where

00:31:06 I'm like, listen, yes, it's worth more

00:31:08 than two, but if you're making less of them, you're

00:31:10 creating more chances for the other team to get out and

00:31:12 run, and you have more... Essentially

00:31:14 is you have more misses.

00:31:16 Sure, but you're also

00:31:18 giving yourself...

00:31:20 Now that's not necessarily, like,

00:31:22 the truest thing ever. Like, they're becoming so

00:31:24 good at shooting threes, where it's

00:31:26 kind of just making that not even

00:31:28 matter as much. And also, I would argue you have

00:31:30 a better chance to grab offensive

00:31:32 rebounds on threes than twos.

00:31:34 The bounces are more random.

00:31:36 Exactly. So, I think that accounts for... Anyway, regardless,

00:31:38 I just...

00:31:40 I hate people... And I understand

00:31:42 yours isn't a complaint, it's just, you know,

00:31:44 it'd be cool to see this, blah blah blah. The people who

00:31:46 complain and bitch, just stop fucking

00:31:48 watching. Like, that annoys me. So,

00:31:50 shoutout KG. Back in my day.

00:31:52 I will say, it's also great for former

00:31:54 players like KG to support

00:31:56 the way the league is changing and build up

00:31:58 players rather than just constantly... It's true! They're always

00:32:00 fucking hating. Like, all these guys are like,

00:32:02 "This guy sucks!"

00:32:04 "Back in my day, he wouldn't have

00:32:06 lasted." It's like, well...

00:32:08 Like, if you were in today's

00:32:10 day, you wouldn't even be in the league, because you can't shoot

00:32:12 threes. That's what I'm saying.

00:32:14 It's good to see KG

00:32:16 shouting out... Remember when

00:32:18 a big guy could shoot threes? It was almost

00:32:20 like a circus trick. It was like, "Oh,

00:32:22 look at this!" Literally, yeah.

00:32:24 Now it's just like, "Oh, he can't

00:32:26 shoot threes?"

00:32:28 No, yeah, I agree.

00:32:30 Shoutout KG, and we can

00:32:32 move on to check in with our

00:32:34 emails here. I believe we have a

00:32:36 few from RJ. Shocker, shoutout RJ.

00:32:38 Sorry, I got the hiccup. Shoutout RJ.

00:32:40 That's what I was trying to say.

00:32:42 So let's jump in here.

00:32:44 I'll throw the InPapnito colors on the

00:32:46 screen. Shoutout InPapnito, if you'd like to get

00:32:48 yourself some popcorn. Comment "What's Poppin'?"

00:32:50 on the video, and get yourself

00:32:52 a spot on the

00:32:54 wheel, a chance to win.

00:32:56 This is from two days ago. RJ saying,

00:32:58 "What's poppin'? Celtics never trail

00:33:00 and win. Evening, guys. Easier to write a piece

00:33:02 after a three-point win than a three-point loss.

00:33:04 I was audio-only tonight, thanks to

00:33:06 it being our national game, but some observations

00:33:08 from the airwaves. This is about the Bucs game.

00:33:10 Jalen Brown played like an all-pro guard

00:33:12 tonight with his eight assists and only one turnover, and the Celtics

00:33:14 needed it. The bench one boy stepped

00:33:16 up with Al Salmon-Payton, scoring double figures,

00:33:18 and with Al being number two in assists with six.

00:33:20 Sam Hauser, dunk champ, it's

00:33:22 coming. Sean Grandy was partnered with Abby Chim

00:33:24 tonight and sucked less. Abby still got

00:33:26 sideline timing, but she's getting better.

00:33:28 On the video replay

00:33:30 front, how much was

00:33:32 Brooke Lopez pulling out his Bill Lambier impersonation

00:33:34 tonight? A lot. Him and

00:33:36 Bill Wagner, just to tie it into the

00:33:38 recent game. Annoying. Annoying.

00:33:40 Annoying. And how badly

00:33:42 was Kristop screwed on the sequence

00:33:44 that got him a technical?

00:33:46 The sequence just felt like there was

00:33:48 a lot of players complaining in a short span

00:33:50 and he just got the bad end of the stick.

00:33:52 He was complaining, but it felt like everyone

00:33:54 was, and the refs were just fed

00:33:56 up enough at the point he

00:33:58 was yelling.

00:34:00 A lot of techs in the Magic game, too. They were

00:34:02 fucking handing them out. Lame.

00:34:04 Lame.

00:34:06 A little love

00:34:08 to the lobster lads of the main Celtics.

00:34:10 I love lobster lads. That's fire.

00:34:12 Taking down the Greensboro storm tonight.

00:34:14 105-102. J.D. Davidson had

00:34:16 39 points and 8 assists.

00:34:18 Nathan Knight had 6 points and 8 rebounds.

00:34:20 On the Mishketa put up 12 points, 5 boards,

00:34:22 4 blocks. Jordan Walsh had

00:34:24 a rough shooting tonight with

00:34:26 5 points, 2 of 10 overall, but he

00:34:28 contributed 7 rebounds. Enjoy your turkey days,

00:34:30 even if Sam is counting the calories in the side

00:34:32 dishes. Meanwhile, RJ.

00:34:34 We didn't do anything crazy.

00:34:36 Also, most of the stuff

00:34:38 on Thanksgiving is relatively healthy.

00:34:40 Like, you're literally eating

00:34:42 turkey, which has nothing to it, and then

00:34:44 vegetables. Sure.

00:34:46 I suppose. To a degree. Well, maybe not

00:34:48 stuffing. I don't know. I don't know about stuffing.

00:34:50 From what you've

00:34:52 described it as,

00:34:54 it might not be very healthy.

00:34:56 Stuffing's great. It's great.

00:34:58 It's just bread. I think the main Celtics should

00:35:00 change their name to the Lobster Lads, actually.

00:35:02 I like that. I think that is literally a better

00:35:04 name than what they have. It's good.

00:35:06 It should be the fucking Red Claws again.

00:35:08 Anyways. No, like literally, if they

00:35:10 were the Lobster Lads of Maine, that would be a fire.

00:35:12 Agree.

00:35:14 I agree. What's poppin'?

00:35:16 Some turkey day truth. This was 3

00:35:18 AM this morning. Shout out RJ. This is on Thanksgiving.

00:35:20 Evening, gents. I hope

00:35:22 you enjoyed trip to fan with your families.

00:35:24 I watched the Milwaukee game tonight, and

00:35:26 if this game doesn't shut off the Jalen haters,

00:35:28 nothing will.

00:35:30 His ease with the ball and the fun he was

00:35:32 having getting his teammates involved was really

00:35:34 a joy to watch. As much as everyone lost their minds at the

00:35:36 Sam Hauser dunk, the draw dropper to me

00:35:38 was the give and go Al Uppi and KP executed

00:35:40 at the 421 mark in the second quarter. Agree.

00:35:42 We've watched that play a million times now.

00:35:44 This easy flow of the entire

00:35:46 play brought back memories of first year

00:35:48 Burton and Archibald playing together

00:35:50 at some high praise. For the past

00:35:52 two years, I've been saying that Brown's development path has

00:35:54 followed Paul Pierce's and that the next big

00:35:56 hurdle will be learning to pass more efficiently rather than

00:35:58 force his way through a double or triple team.

00:36:00 We saw evidence of the new look

00:36:02 Brown against the Bucks. The only time he reached

00:36:04 into his bag was one shot in the third quarter,

00:36:06 and that was because the shot clock was running down

00:36:08 and he was only covered by Marsh on Bo Champ.

00:36:10 The rest of his offense was on

00:36:12 clean look threes, dunks and lay ins.

00:36:14 I'm looking forward to the Orlando game Friday morning.

00:36:16 I think it could be a lot of fun. Well, sorry

00:36:18 RJ. We that's where you're wrong, kiddo.

00:36:20 Yeah, sorry. Sorry.

00:36:22 And just, you know,

00:36:24 because, uh,

00:36:26 why not? You know, let's have a little joy

00:36:28 in our life again, shall we? Let's just

00:36:30 let's Jalen Brown alley of

00:36:32 Yeah, it'll be for audio

00:36:34 listeners and we're watching this.

00:36:36 I'm gonna I'm actually going to link this

00:36:38 on my dashboard so we can pull this up

00:36:40 every once in a while, but

00:36:42 for audio listeners, just so you can enjoy

00:36:44 to Christoph's ball, Jalen

00:36:46 Brown running to the alley of Christoph's

00:36:48 dunk. Yeah, and

00:36:50 then we can't forget about this

00:36:52 again. Christoph's

00:36:54 just

00:36:56 Christoph's hype.

00:36:58 Um,

00:37:00 sorry to get derailed,

00:37:02 but if the clips there you gotta watch

00:37:04 I did. Uh, what's

00:37:06 it make? I don't remember what it was. Sorry.

00:37:08 I got distracted. What was that last email about?

00:37:10 Uh,

00:37:12 some turkey truth.

00:37:16 Brown's development following Paul Pierce

00:37:18 Brown and Paul playmaker.

00:37:20 I don't know. It was just like a quick if

00:37:22 that game put tape over their mouths

00:37:24 and today ripped it off

00:37:26 the jail and haters mounts their back.

00:37:28 Yeah, unfortunately, sorry

00:37:30 I'm lame. No, no,

00:37:32 no. Uh, what's popping? Give and

00:37:34 go. This is from an hour ago. This was right after

00:37:36 the Orlando game. Hey guys,

00:37:38 something a little different today. Stream of consciousness

00:37:40 style for you. First quarter

00:37:42 Jalen is Mr. First quarter of 12 points.

00:37:44 Great start. Sees forcing turnovers.

00:37:46 This is just like a recap of the game. This will be funny.

00:37:48 Uh, Caesar forcing turnovers.

00:37:50 Nice reversal. Still rough on the offensive boards.

00:37:52 Looks like the

00:37:54 Caucasus Mountains double bigs

00:37:56 of corner.

00:37:58 That's fire. How is

00:38:02 the Celtic shooting? 79% from the

00:38:04 line looks so shaky. Yeah.

00:38:06 Second quarter. Caesar better with

00:38:08 Pritchard initiating offense than Tatum. I don't know if the

00:38:10 magic defense

00:38:12 pressure but purchase handles better. Green

00:38:14 Cornet day? Question mark

00:38:16 Brown 12 Cornet 8D white 6

00:38:18 after 16 minutes. We should have known that

00:38:20 when Tatum wasn't scoring early, it was gonna be bad.

00:38:22 I hate these whammo slip and slides

00:38:24 courts agree. Definitely agreeing.

00:38:26 Cornet day 10, 2 and 2 blocks at the

00:38:28 half. Magic are committing

00:38:30 to defending the three point line and higher to stop the Celtics.

00:38:32 Drew Carter continues not to suck.

00:38:34 This is high praise. Drew Carter's been good. Enjoy

00:38:36 his great made a

00:38:38 he made a

00:38:40 always sunny reference today. It was great.

00:38:42 He didn't scowl. That moron had

00:38:44 no idea what he was talking about.

00:38:46 Third quarter. You have to watch the show to know

00:38:48 what he's talking about. I know. Like a

00:38:50 one of the most popular memes like ever.

00:38:52 I know dude.

00:38:54 Third quarter roommate basketball with KP

00:38:56 and JB. Then the Celtics pissed away

00:38:58 12 point lead in two minutes.

00:39:00 Magic didn't take plays off. Sees kind of did

00:39:02 exactly when does Missoula call a timeout?

00:39:04 10 points allowed 17 points straight.

00:39:06 At some point you gotta get the guys in and have them try something

00:39:08 different. I understand

00:39:10 but then he did and then it didn't work.

00:39:12 I don't subscribe to the Missoula's fault

00:39:14 theory and I know that's not what you're doing here. I do. But yeah

00:39:16 the Wagner brothers are the world's tallest

00:39:18 any impersonators that are so punchably

00:39:20 annoying. Speaking of annoying

00:39:22 JB is two for six and it's free throws today

00:39:24 yuck. Fourth quarter Celtics are behind

00:39:26 on three point shooting free throw shooting and rebounding

00:39:28 fix one of those Celtics win.

00:39:30 Percent bricks is free throws and after JB goes over

00:39:32 to hack a Celtic.

00:39:34 So that's when you call the timeout trailing by 11.

00:39:36 Good to know. Again. It's

00:39:38 not Missoula's fault in my opinion. Tata missed it.

00:39:40 702 is what I'm calling it for Orlando final thoughts.

00:39:42 I wonder what this game looks like if the Celtics

00:39:44 applied the press when they were up by 12 instead of when

00:39:46 they were trailing by 12. This isn't sour grapes.

00:39:48 We've talked about the Celtics being able to kick a

00:39:50 team when they're down. I'd like to see an action how coach

00:39:52 Missoula talked about his curveball. He needs to

00:39:54 remember that you can use it as a strikeout pitch to

00:39:56 share time for a late lunch. Be well

00:39:58 RJ. Yeah, that's that's that's sort

00:40:00 of the real time reaction of how the game went.

00:40:02 That's a good point.

00:40:04 Any thoughts? It's like he

00:40:06 had the script to the show.

00:40:08 Yeah. Why is

00:40:10 high post such passing such an

00:40:12 infrequent item? We're at the same blank. A

00:40:14 quick addendum to plays the KP to

00:40:16 Brown pass at the start of the third and then

00:40:18 cornet hitting Hauser in the back or that was great too.

00:40:20 We should watch that at the high

00:40:22 post. Yes,

00:40:24 both were effective against a team like Orlando

00:40:26 that likes to play up on three point shooters. Why don't the

00:40:28 Celtics build it into their offense more? That's all

00:40:30 agree. I mean,

00:40:32 this is we literally

00:40:34 talked about this, right? This is our whole

00:40:36 thing. Yeah, we're like, dude, poor thing. You

00:40:38 should play like Yoke.

00:40:40 Agree. If you should be a white

00:40:42 guy, they should play the same.

00:40:44 But we can watch

00:40:46 this. We can watch the cornet assist to

00:40:48 just because I got it up quickly. Another

00:40:50 great example of how the Celtics could play

00:40:52 out of Porzingis. And I mean, in this case, Luke,

00:40:54 but Joe Engel so

00:40:56 worried about how the three point line has was

00:40:58 able to cut back to our cornet, finds him on a nice pass

00:41:00 like watch watch how another

00:41:02 10 minutes. Yeah, it

00:41:04 took him a while. It was scoring's hard,

00:41:06 Sam. Look

00:41:08 how easy I mean, I know.

00:41:10 I know. Sam Houser

00:41:12 watch the fake though, like Ingles is

00:41:14 so worried about him coming up to shoot a three

00:41:16 that it's just one fake and he's gone for a dunk

00:41:18 and great pass by cornet.

00:41:20 Yeah, it's good offense, right?

00:41:22 I mean, just couldn't do that

00:41:24 more often. Unfortunately,

00:41:26 yeah, thank you

00:41:28 RJ. Thank you to the emails and we will move

00:41:30 on to the NBA portion

00:41:32 of the show. Checking

00:41:34 in around the league will do our standings

00:41:36 check in as per usual. Let me pull up

00:41:38 our standings because I know RJ has

00:41:40 been doing some updating just to see

00:41:42 and then we can also look at, you know, who's on

00:41:44 win streaks, who's on losing streaks, etc,

00:41:46 etc. Standing. So you

00:41:48 put the sheet about that because that's always

00:41:50 fun. So updated

00:41:52 NBA standing sheets.

00:41:54 Sam and I still on track in the

00:41:56 Eastern Conference.

00:41:58 Right now, Orlando jump

00:42:00 Philly with this win

00:42:02 in the standings. Philly is

00:42:04 colder after their hot start.

00:42:06 Miami is soaring up the standings. Sam

00:42:08 and I both pegged the top 10

00:42:10 teams in the league pretty easily.

00:42:12 The only ones getting us right now, or I

00:42:14 should say the top

00:42:16 12 or so. The only things

00:42:18 getting us right now is Brooklyn is

00:42:20 slowly falling down the standings.

00:42:22 Um,

00:42:24 and we had them in the top 10, which is not

00:42:26 Bodewell for Tuesday, by the way.

00:42:28 No, unfortunately

00:42:30 not, but Toronto is

00:42:32 moving up a little, but we got

00:42:34 the rest of that pretty ironed out

00:42:36 as far as the West.

00:42:38 We're in shambles. Golden State

00:42:40 sucks there on the downturn. Clippers

00:42:42 are figuring out, but they're still down. And

00:42:44 then Houston also down, but still better

00:42:46 than expected in Minnesota.

00:42:48 And OKC just kind of like

00:42:50 dominating a little bit

00:42:52 out West as far as window

00:42:54 at last. Yeah, magic

00:42:56 on a

00:42:58 league best six game winning streak

00:43:00 tied with the Thunder, who also won six

00:43:02 straight sons are turning it around.

00:43:04 They have won five in a row. Clippers Pals

00:43:06 also turning around a little bit. Three and two there

00:43:08 to win zero for the Hornets

00:43:10 to for the heat

00:43:12 as far as losing streaks. Pistons

00:43:14 still take the cake at nine in a row. Now

00:43:16 sorry, Sam, this is a

00:43:18 row 12 in a row. Sorry.

00:43:20 Yes, 12 in a row

00:43:22 and the Spurs have also lost 10

00:43:24 in a row. Not good for them.

00:43:26 Bad

00:43:28 Nuggets are six

00:43:30 and four in their last time on the down

00:43:32 swing a little bit after their Red Hawks.

00:43:34 They what Murray's

00:43:36 out Murray is out, but still

00:43:38 they're struggling

00:43:40 a bit. The Warriors are two

00:43:42 and eight in their last 10 games. They are

00:43:44 now seven and

00:43:46 nine on the season after a five and one start

00:43:48 not very good in Golden State. Now

00:43:50 they do need dream on

00:43:52 you. Oh no, I'm not.

00:43:54 Let me preface

00:43:56 this by saying

00:43:58 having drew holiday

00:44:00 is worth it, but

00:44:02 it would have been

00:44:04 a lot of fun to be like

00:44:06 Warriors

00:44:08 so we're going to get a topic in the draft.

00:44:10 Yeah, like we could have had that

00:44:12 the whole season. Great

00:44:14 for content. We could have cared about the draft

00:44:16 like

00:44:18 we could have been like what if the Celtics trade

00:44:20 back a year and get Cooper flag?

00:44:22 We have you know how long it's been since we

00:44:24 talked about Cooper flag. We need to start talking about

00:44:26 Cooper flag again because the Celtics

00:44:28 embarrassed the fuck out of themselves. They

00:44:30 don't deserve this. Maybe it's like

00:44:32 maybe something should tank.

00:44:34 No, no, no,

00:44:36 but but what

00:44:38 if

00:44:40 yeah Warriors in the down swing

00:44:42 Wizards have lost seven

00:44:44 in a row. They're so awful, but like

00:44:46 to like as Patrick Beverly pointed

00:44:48 out last week, obviously the Wizards are bad.

00:44:50 Anything else around the league anything of note.

00:44:54 Let me check in with players

00:44:56 in the last three games just to see if anybody's

00:44:58 been red hot. That's a note that's worth talking

00:45:00 about Lamello

00:45:02 including that Celtics win. He is

00:45:04 averaging 35 7 and 10

00:45:06 over his last three. He's been red hot

00:45:08 Halliburton continues to be awesome

00:45:10 because he's awesome.

00:45:12 Anybody else Terry Scarlin

00:45:14 has been playing well lately.

00:45:16 I'm just I'm looking Victor

00:45:18 when the Yama still averaging four blocks

00:45:20 across his last three games.

00:45:22 That's nuts. Davis

00:45:24 is averaging 2.9 blocks a game this year

00:45:26 when bees at 2.6 steals

00:45:28 Shay leads the league.

00:45:30 Let's do a legal year check who leads

00:45:32 league in points Sam keep a quick

00:45:34 we'll rock through.

00:45:36 It is Joel Embiid 31.9

00:45:38 Lucas in third though. So that is

00:45:40 close.

00:45:42 I want to do field goal percentage, but

00:45:44 I can't do it without the

00:45:46 like all the randomness. So I'm going to go to

00:45:48 basketball reference instead because they filter

00:45:50 out all the non important stuff

00:45:52 who leads the league and field goal percentage among

00:45:54 qualified players

00:45:58 clue. We have made

00:46:00 fun of this man a lot on the show

00:46:02 in recent weeks

00:46:04 in recent weeks.

00:46:06 Yeah, who leads the league and field goal percentage?

00:46:08 It's not Zach Levine. Is it

00:46:10 no look up north Sam

00:46:12 Oh Pirtle

00:46:14 Jakob Pirtle does leave

00:46:16 I was so afraid I was like, wait a minute.

00:46:18 It can't be Julius Randall because

00:46:20 we are making no no no that man couldn't buy a basket

00:46:22 No Pirtle

00:46:24 shooting 70% from the field this year which is

00:46:26 who leads league in three point percentage

00:46:28 among qualified players. Oh, it's

00:46:30 um, is

00:46:32 it Isaiah Joe? He is

00:46:34 second at 51.8 but Kevin Durant

00:46:36 is shooting 52.2% for three this year

00:46:38 that's right checks. Chet said

00:46:40 like that a quote of nonsense

00:46:42 nuts who leaves league in

00:46:44 two point percentage spoiler. It's not

00:46:46 Jakob Pirtle

00:46:48 so

00:46:52 Porzingis is two at

00:46:54 71% on two number one is

00:46:56 Obi Toppin who's shooting

00:46:58 70 77% on twos but

00:47:00 we know ball because Chris stops his second

00:47:02 in the league in two point percentage at 71% so

00:47:04 we did a whole video on him being

00:47:06 we're beast we're sick. All

00:47:08 right. Uh who has attempted

00:47:10 the most free throws this it's a beat

00:47:12 this fucking question. Uh Booker

00:47:14 is shooting 94.6% of the line

00:47:16 he is leading on Yucca

00:47:18 Kangu also though is third in the league

00:47:20 in free throw percentage is 93 5

00:47:22 that's not that's just that's just kind of crazy

00:47:24 um okay total I'm gonna do

00:47:26 per game who's leading the league in rebounds

00:47:28 per game Sam

00:47:30 per game

00:47:32 per game

00:47:36 I don't think it's

00:47:38 it's not

00:47:40 it is not it is

00:47:42 you're close though similar caliber

00:47:44 player is it

00:47:46 13.1 a game

00:47:48 assists who leads the leagues in

00:47:50 assists at 12.3 a night

00:47:52 or is it

00:47:54 one and two right there Halbert and

00:47:56 12.3 Tre young 10 seven only

00:47:58 two in double digits who leads the league in steals

00:48:00 I think I told you already but you can guess

00:48:02 if you'd like I don't remember

00:48:04 Shay leaves Lillian steals at

00:48:06 2.4 he's also averaging point nine blocks

00:48:08 a game which is nuts

00:48:10 Marcus Martin fourth at four

00:48:12 at five

00:48:14 with also two and then Anthony Davis

00:48:16 and Brooke Lopez are tied at one with 2.9

00:48:18 that's it I do want to look at this real quick

00:48:20 we don't look at it but like Herb Jones

00:48:22 is averaging 2.1 steals in

00:48:24 1.6 blocks a game that's

00:48:26 fucking crazy you're doing the stocks

00:48:28 the stocks man he's

00:48:30 beast shout out him

00:48:32 but yeah that's it and

00:48:34 Dylan Brooks leads league in

00:48:36 fouls per game at 3.9 anyways that

00:48:38 can be far around the league

00:48:40 he's playing next thing we

00:48:42 have is some more Zach Levine update

00:48:44 and the update is

00:48:46 the Miami Heat don't want him

00:48:48 it says a lot

00:48:50 Miami

00:48:52 notorious for wanting literally

00:48:54 everybody and they don't want this man

00:48:56 what does that say

00:48:58 yeah it says

00:49:00 that's what it says is bomb

00:49:02 terrible

00:49:04 this is from

00:49:06 Barry Jackson I believe

00:49:08 is he Miami Herald

00:49:10 or is he yeah Miami Herald

00:49:12 yeah Barry Jackson says

00:49:14 the Heat have quote not been

00:49:18 pursuing a trade for the two

00:49:20 time all-star since it was reported the Bulls will be open

00:49:22 to moving him if the Heat aren't

00:49:24 interested I have some bad

00:49:26 news

00:49:28 get ready to learn

00:49:30 Chinese buddy

00:49:32 get ready to learn Chicago deep dish pal

00:49:34 because you ain't going anywhere

00:49:36 I would actually respect Levine if he got fat

00:49:38 like he just ate a bunch of pizza

00:49:40 and he committed he did the Zion where

00:49:42 it was like well

00:49:44 I'm just not going to play

00:49:46 because like half Levine's like

00:49:48 draw is that he's

00:49:50 really athletic and if he got

00:49:52 fat the Bulls would just be stuck paying him

00:49:56 yeah that's a mess if the Heat don't want

00:49:58 him that's that tells you something

00:50:00 next NBA thing we have is

00:50:02 yeah something funny that we saw

00:50:04 the header of

00:50:06 hoops hype's website right now

00:50:08 is I'll just let me show it

00:50:10 for the for the YouTube listeners it

00:50:12 is basically TJ Warren

00:50:14 he's back

00:50:16 Warren eyes NBA return I'm 100%

00:50:18 healthy now

00:50:20 TJ Warren who was the Celtics

00:50:22 target target in the off

00:50:24 season yeah we did a video on TJ

00:50:26 Warren and everything looks like Celtics

00:50:28 fuck that one up huh

00:50:30 basically

00:50:32 in an interview with hoop site he said

00:50:34 that he is 100% healthy he's back he said

00:50:36 it was he said he said I feel

00:50:38 like I was reaching a crazy pinnacle right around

00:50:40 the bubble it was a great situation unfortunately I had the

00:50:42 injuries and sent me back a bit etc

00:50:44 but it does kind of suck that he was hurt like

00:50:46 you never want to see injuries

00:50:48 it was just funny to see the headline of a page

00:50:50 TJ Warren dramatic

00:50:52 you know per headshot

00:50:54 back

00:50:56 good for you for being healthy

00:50:58 but it's just a funny thing funny

00:51:00 visual yeah

00:51:02 um

00:51:04 next thing we have is

00:51:06 Miami Heat fans

00:51:08 are convinced

00:51:10 that the Cavaliers have a hole in

00:51:12 their floor now

00:51:14 investigate Drew Smith

00:51:16 is out for the

00:51:18 loss after a sprained ACL and

00:51:20 the Heat fans are convinced that it's the Cavs fault

00:51:22 for covering up a hole

00:51:24 in their floor with a piece of paper

00:51:26 this is a genuine thing going on on

00:51:28 heat twitter now Sam do you want me to tell you what actually

00:51:30 happened yeah

00:51:32 well I want to I want to know

00:51:34 is there like an image that they have

00:51:36 there's a video okay there's a video

00:51:38 what happened Sam

00:51:40 is he fell into the sidelines

00:51:42 and he tripped off the side of the court

00:51:44 and they think there's a hole because

00:51:46 they don't understand that the court has a side to

00:51:48 it so yeah here's the video

00:51:50 of Drew Smith getting hurt oh so

00:51:52 they think that white piece of paper

00:51:54 between that guy's feet is a hole

00:51:56 in the floor look what happens

00:51:58 oh

00:52:00 his foot slides off

00:52:02 the side yeah

00:52:04 fans legitimately think that the

00:52:06 Cavaliers covered up a hole in the floor

00:52:08 with a piece of paper okay

00:52:10 so I'll say this genuine thing

00:52:12 the Cavaliers did not

00:52:14 cover up a hole with a piece of paper

00:52:16 however

00:52:18 I don't think that the Cavs should have an

00:52:20 elevated floor like this because it is

00:52:22 indeed dangerous because these guys go

00:52:24 flying all over the place now

00:52:26 I have not been down on the

00:52:28 garden floor in a little while like

00:52:30 around that area but I think it's like kind of

00:52:32 it's not really elevated it's just like

00:52:34 it's ever so slightly

00:52:36 like ramped yeah I don't

00:52:38 I don't think it's like that

00:52:40 there's no immediate drop off it's progressively

00:52:42 you know inclined

00:52:44 yeah I

00:52:46 don't think it's that bad

00:52:48 but yeah Heat fans like this is a

00:52:50 genuine thing all over Heat Twitter

00:52:52 that the Cavs covered it up

00:52:54 covered up a hole in the floor with a piece of paper

00:52:56 which is just like guys

00:52:58 come on

00:53:00 give me like some part of that brain

00:53:02 I was hoping it would be like just like

00:53:04 at the elbow there was

00:53:06 a hole in the floor and they thought there was

00:53:08 no it is

00:53:10 I respect it though like

00:53:12 I don't know I would love

00:53:14 Celtics fans made up conspiracies about stuff

00:53:16 Heat fans though

00:53:18 can't wait to hear what the Thunder fans come up

00:53:20 with

00:53:22 this is

00:53:24 Max Drew's on the three point line all over again

00:53:26 last thing we're talking

00:53:28 about today Kevin Garnett again

00:53:30 he's back KG

00:53:32 can't get enough KG

00:53:34 talk about Jordan Poole if you yeah you put it on here

00:53:36 I'll let you do the dramatic reading yeah I'm gonna make

00:53:38 sure Jack does not have to dodge

00:53:40 any bombs here so

00:53:42 KG certified he's sitting

00:53:44 with Paul Pierce two of the great Celtics

00:53:46 both have their numbers retired they were talking

00:53:48 hoops as they do on the

00:53:50 show now KG

00:53:52 is talking about Jordan Poole he says on Jordan

00:53:54 Poole they got your ass out of there

00:53:56 Golden State because he isn't falling

00:53:58 in line guys like this

00:54:00 don't belong in our league he does not

00:54:02 belong in the league

00:54:04 KG said he's the head

00:54:06 of a team P talking to Pierce

00:54:08 now I don't want my son

00:54:10 looking at no guy like that

00:54:12 looking up to anybody like him

00:54:14 you see how he's talking

00:54:16 to teammates shut up my

00:54:18 guy this is my team I've got it buddy

00:54:20 joining the joint

00:54:22 throwing the towel snorting

00:54:24 you can say whatever you want

00:54:26 about me but I ain't never disrespected

00:54:28 the game and I ain't never

00:54:30 disrespected the position of being

00:54:32 a leader and KG

00:54:34 is a great point of course I think we pulled

00:54:36 up the video a couple pods ago of Jordan

00:54:38 Poole just waving off the whole team in the time out

00:54:40 him not paying attention

00:54:42 to the coach I would hate being

00:54:44 teammates with this guy Jordan Poole is the guy that you

00:54:46 play pickup with and he just throws

00:54:48 up shots and doesn't look to move the ball

00:54:50 and you're like wow we could probably play

00:54:52 so much better if the ball just popped around

00:54:54 and you could still get shots you would just get better

00:54:56 shots not have to work hard

00:54:58 now

00:55:00 the Wizards fans fucking hate

00:55:02 this guy they hate him

00:55:04 they and I wouldn't

00:55:06 blame if Jordan was on my team I'd be very

00:55:08 upset I still can't believe my team

00:55:10 let Jordan pool get a ring shooting

00:55:12 39.5% from the field and 29.3%

00:55:14 from deep and good numbers

00:55:16 16 shots a game and

00:55:18 seven threes a game and the sad

00:55:20 thing is we all kind of had good expectations

00:55:22 for Jordan pool going in the season like he was

00:55:24 a high pick in fantasy basketball it was

00:55:26 like this guy's gonna put up numbers at

00:55:28 the very least he's gonna be able to help

00:55:30 this team not compete but

00:55:32 he's gonna like get his development

00:55:34 minutes at the helm and be able to

00:55:36 get used to being the focal point of an

00:55:38 opposing defense

00:55:40 now instead

00:55:42 instead you're watching

00:55:44 a lot of nonsense

00:55:46 you're watching a lot of plays

00:55:48 a lot of plays like this one now we'll pull it up

00:55:50 we'll go full screen now here you

00:55:52 can see now actually I'm gonna put it back

00:55:54 down because this is opposed to the Washington Wizards

00:55:56 subreddit yesterday of course

00:55:58 being Thanksgiving as we're recording this

00:56:00 and user jaywin2321

00:56:02 posts this video and says

00:56:04 thankful so on Thanksgiving

00:56:06 yeah you say what you're thankful

00:56:08 for and he picked this highlight of Jordan

00:56:10 pool to say hey thanks for

00:56:12 working really hard and helping the Wizards be a good team

00:56:14 yeah it's a cool spin move

00:56:18 and go up three

00:56:20 doesn't even hit the rim slams off the

00:56:22 backboard as hard as you could

00:56:24 that ball looked like somebody like hitting

00:56:26 the pavement that was the impact

00:56:28 that it had off the glass

00:56:30 and would you like to see Jordan Pool's reaction?

00:56:32 yeah to the play? what does he do?

00:56:36 doesn't give a shit

00:56:38 does he have a little like

00:56:40 he does he's like damn damn

00:56:42 thought I had that one

00:56:44 I was expecting

00:56:46 where I thought that was going I thought it was gonna be a make

00:56:48 and then the whole comment section saying

00:56:50 fuck this guy he's not good actually but he's just a prick

00:56:52 let's go to the replies

00:56:54 I won't pull it back up

00:56:56 that guy's post

00:56:58 had a caption to it

00:57:00 thankful for being amongst a community

00:57:02 with the strongest fans

00:57:04 sticking through with a team that hasn't made a conference finals

00:57:06 in 44 years

00:57:08 our time will come soon

00:57:10 somebody goes

00:57:12 slow-mo tank commanding is a thing of beauty

00:57:14 the move to get open was so clean

00:57:16 then watching the ball veer further and further left

00:57:18 into such a

00:57:20 violent brick

00:57:22 the way Jordan claps his hands with the

00:57:24 lifetime mentality

00:57:26 his confidence never wavering this is truly art

00:57:28 not a fan of pool but I think it's

00:57:32 fucked up everyone piling on him

00:57:34 I'm saving my hate for the people who

00:57:36 traded for him

00:57:38 prayers wizards

00:57:42 I was gonna say poor Jordan pool

00:57:46 poor wizards fans

00:57:48 poor wizards fans

00:57:50 I feel bad

00:57:52 for the wizards fans

00:57:54 KG is right by the way

00:57:56 you're not just getting punched in the face

00:57:58 I've done the joke about

00:58:00 the punch in the face power rank

00:58:02 before

00:58:04 but there is no

00:58:06 have you seen any change of character in Washington

00:58:08 that's like wow Draymond might have messed up

00:58:10 this is a really good guy

00:58:12 I think every wizards fan is secretly

00:58:14 wishing they could give Draymond

00:58:16 a high five

00:58:20 yeah I don't really have a

00:58:22 witty comeback for that

00:58:24 it's just kind of tough

00:58:26 sorry Washington

00:58:28 you gotta feel bad

00:58:30 I guess that's the perfect way for us to

00:58:32 roll into the rat list here though right

00:58:34 we get to uh

00:58:36 right after Jordan pool we'll talk about the rat list

00:58:38 would you like to kick it off

00:58:40 or do you want me to

00:58:42 you go ahead

00:58:44 I'll keep it brief

00:58:46 someone lit off a fucking firework

00:58:48 on Thanksgiving

00:58:50 for what tell me Sam what do you

00:58:52 light off a firework for on Thanksgiving

00:58:54 you have to celebrate that

00:58:56 you know you're really full

00:58:58 fuck

00:59:00 fireworks man out on fireworks fireworks

00:59:02 suck I understand

00:59:04 at least a little on the 4th of July because it's like a thing

00:59:06 yeah Thanksgiving

00:59:08 fuck off go home

00:59:10 or stay home or go to a home I don't care

00:59:12 fuck just go to a home

00:59:14 I like that

00:59:16 alright so uh

00:59:18 rat list is me

00:59:20 rat list is me

00:59:22 so today's Black Friday

00:59:24 sure

00:59:26 and I was at the gym today and I'm scrolling

00:59:28 through my phone as I do between exercises

00:59:30 so that my muscles cool off my muscles by the way

00:59:32 which have been very tired since coming back

00:59:34 from the trip because I didn't have a gym there so

00:59:36 I feel like a fucking corpse

00:59:38 but anyways

00:59:40 I'm on my phone I'm on Twitter and I see this ad

00:59:42 from our good friend Pete Rogers

00:59:44 Black Friday sale

00:59:46 and all the jersey designs I don't know if it's still going to be up

00:59:48 by the time you're listening to this but

00:59:50 Pete Rogers giving I think

00:59:52 30% off all the designs on the site

00:59:54 wow so what did I do I went on there

00:59:56 and I bought the

00:59:58 Porzingis one the one of him is

01:00:00 the unicorn

01:00:02 I tweeted the picture saying would when

01:00:04 Pete did the design I had no choice but to buy

01:00:06 this jersey I'm going to hang it right over my shoulder

01:00:08 here so I guess the second part doesn't necessarily

01:00:10 matter

01:00:12 but as a brain dead fool

01:00:14 I ordered an extra small jersey

01:00:18 I forgot to change it to a medium

01:00:22 what happened was I was about to select my size

01:00:24 and then I was like oh man what size

01:00:26 did I get before because

01:00:28 I really don't know what size I am for a lot

01:00:30 of things it ranges between a medium and a

01:00:32 large and so

01:00:34 I went back on my email to check the last time

01:00:36 I ordered from Pete Rogers

01:00:38 and it turns out they're both mediums

01:00:40 so I got the answer to my question

01:00:42 and then I immediately went back to the page

01:00:44 and I saw pay with Apple Pay and I was like

01:00:46 oh shit I don't have to put my information I just

01:00:48 bought the jersey

01:00:50 so yeah it turns out I bought an extra small

01:00:52 can you order another or is it sold out

01:00:54 I did contact Pete

01:00:56 it sounds like it's going to get resolved but I haven't gotten an email

01:00:58 back I DM'd him and he said he would help me

01:01:00 so tough

01:01:02 it would be kind of funny if I did

01:01:04 have like a toddler sized jersey on the hanger

01:01:06 that would

01:01:08 that would be fire

01:01:10 Ratlis my lighting right now if you're watching

01:01:12 on YouTube I look like a ghost but I just want to lean back

01:01:14 and talk like I look like

01:01:16 lean back

01:01:18 what I will Ratlis though

01:01:20 is drivers on Thanksgiving

01:01:22 okay dude

01:01:24 I don't understand

01:01:26 why

01:01:28 traffic exists

01:01:32 just go

01:01:34 just drive

01:01:36 just drive faster

01:01:38 why does traffic exist

01:01:40 just keep going

01:01:42 just go faster

01:01:44 like the traffic exists because we have a million idiots

01:01:46 going 55 in a 65

01:01:48 and then what makes it worse is the people who want to go fast

01:01:50 but get mad

01:01:52 versus the people who want to go fast and try to do something about it

01:01:54 I had some dude cut me off

01:01:56 in the middle lane to go over to the left lane

01:01:58 just for me to pass him

01:02:00 I gave him a fucking thumbs up on the way by

01:02:02 good for you you fucking moron

01:02:04 you're not going to fucking go anywhere either

01:02:06 like what are we doing here

01:02:08 it frustrates me so much

01:02:10 people can't fucking drive

01:02:12 and Thanksgiving made it worse because then you also

01:02:14 had some idiots who were like clearly drunk

01:02:16 like I can see you swerving like figuring out

01:02:18 which is like scary as another driver

01:02:20 on the road that you're a moron

01:02:22 oh my god it was pissing me off

01:02:24 on the way home I had to drive through Boston to get

01:02:26 home morons in the city morons

01:02:28 in the tunnel morons on my way back

01:02:30 when I get to my town

01:02:32 just fucking go like the speed limit

01:02:34 and if you're not going to go the speed limit

01:02:36 fuck off go home

01:02:38 like just

01:02:40 it was pissing me off man

01:02:42 it got me so mad yesterday

01:02:44 so uh

01:02:46 I just thought of this one and I can't

01:02:48 say that I saw any of it

01:02:50 and here's why so I don't use Instagram

01:02:52 anymore I had in Jack you haven't posted

01:02:54 on Instagram in a very long time from what I understand

01:03:00 hacked so I can't even get in if I want to

01:03:02 but

01:03:04 I would imagine yesterday

01:03:24 about like I'm thankful for you guys but

01:03:26 no like instead of just like

01:03:28 talking to them and being like hey

01:03:30 I appreciate you they're trying to

01:03:32 get likes on social media for it

01:03:34 yeah I thought about that yesterday well I

01:04:26 don't paint yourself with this picture

01:04:30 audio listeners are going to think

01:04:34 you posted a picture of fucking Genki

01:04:36 don't let him

01:04:38 fool you

01:04:40 the worst part is the picture of Genki that you retweeted

01:04:42 doesn't even look like me

01:04:44 it's not even the one that looks like you

01:04:46 I have a bucket hat should I put it on

01:04:48 and see if I look like Genki

01:04:50 we'll go to the review hold on

01:04:52 Jack's going to get his

01:04:54 bucket hat I am pulling up the share

01:04:56 screen once again

01:04:58 actually I think we need to take the rat down

01:05:00 alright I've got it up

01:05:04 the bucket hat's too

01:05:06 small but it's too small

01:05:08 this doesn't look like me

01:05:10 it doesn't look like me

01:05:16 ladies and gentlemen just in case you didn't know

01:05:20 we are the dumbest of the dumb

01:05:22 can I put the headphones on over the bucket hat

01:05:24 this isn't very effective but

01:05:28 fuck it bull rock

01:05:30 so as we're recording this I don't know

01:05:32 the result of the Liverpool game

01:05:34 tomorrow but I do have my Liverpool hat on

01:05:36 they're playing Manchester City

01:05:38 at Ratless 7.30am

01:05:40 I don't think I'm actually going to that game anymore

01:05:42 but the game is far too early

01:05:44 that's tough yeah

01:05:46 and I want to watch it but like

01:05:48 also I would like to go for a run

01:05:50 I don't know what I'm going to do

01:05:52 when does Brentford play? I haven't kept up with Brentford

01:05:54 all this season I'm a fucking loser

01:05:56 oh they suck right now shit

01:05:58 that's not good

01:06:00 well actually they've won 3 of the last 5

01:06:02 they're fine they're 4-4-4

01:06:04 perfectly balanced is all things should be

01:06:06 there you go

01:06:08 I don't think I

01:06:10 I don't think

01:06:12 I don't think I have any more Ratless today do you have anything else?

01:06:14 not for the show

01:06:16 good to know

01:06:18 I appreciate you holding back

01:06:20 because if that reaction tells me anything

01:06:22 it's something I probably would have had to edit out

01:06:24 when we started this you were like

01:06:26 do you want to go first? do you want me to go first?

01:06:28 and I was like well do you want to edit or not?

01:06:30 thank you

01:06:32 and I was like I'm not even going to say that I don't want him to have to edit anything

01:06:34 oh all Ratless so

01:06:36 I went to get a haircut the other day

01:06:38 and my hair has always been very like

01:06:40 coarse like it's just not soft

01:06:42 it's like rough or whatever

01:06:44 I used conditioner to use

01:06:46 because they're like oh this is what I'd use

01:06:48 it's nice whatever they used it there and I left

01:06:50 and my hair was super soft

01:06:52 the two times I've used it since it just hasn't worked the same way

01:06:54 so I don't know if I'm brain dead at doing something wrong

01:06:56 you leave it in your hair?

01:06:58 well yeah of course I leave it in my hair it's leave in conditioner am I stupid?

01:07:00 oh I thought leave in was like the brand

01:07:02 when I use conditioner

01:07:04 so I shampoo my hair

01:07:06 I rinse it out

01:07:08 and then I put conditioner in my hair for the duration of my shower

01:07:10 and then I rinse it out

01:07:12 this is after you shower

01:07:14 you put the conditioner in

01:07:16 to damp hair and leave it there

01:07:18 it's like post shower

01:07:20 you don't need your hair to be soft

01:07:22 you're probably fine

01:07:24 they gave it to me

01:07:26 they gave it to me and it worked

01:07:28 and I was like cool

01:07:30 because it worked really well it was like super soft there

01:07:32 but it hasn't worked since

01:07:34 so Ratless maybe me for being a moron
