"Can be messed up if you don't show improve. RJ Barrett and she was talking about alert at the hard way this summer. All right Jay bagged you got to go to the gym, bro get it going to the gym. Go, go, you know what they see, the players, and sometimes with those pickup games with this, I forgot the guy's name is a white dude that he works on NBA players with shots and go learn to shoot The Rock climbers. Get your game better. Whatever Jalen Brunson was on training schedule wise, maybe I choose any team up and get your stuff together. Play this off season. Play the EBC. Do something. Man, just still find you. Man. Man, you bears yourself. I think Julius Randle. Bro I like as a player. You know, you come to work. But when the ball's not going, the hoop, it just doesn't matter if you know more. He took a step back three. Then the next possession took another step back and turned the ball over and put his hands on like what's going on. Meanwhile, the man he's running the other side of the court. Scoring a bucket. And you standing there with your hands in the air. Like, dumbfounded. Get your big butt. Back on defense. What the hell are you doing? Like I said, he needs to go. He thinks Hollywood today. Having to ask the help out of here. Did you understand? For that game. Oh, man. I think I'm playing around when I say that, you know, it looks bad. For the last two, two seasons, I wrote last time last year, and the post of the email at 8 points, something like that. Julius Randle was last year. Scored 15 points, 11 rebounds three assists, right? Yeah. No, if you score 50 points, you're very happy about that, right? That's a good night for you, right? Yeah. Not when you go three for 14 on the court. Okay, and one for 7 from three. What am I doing about that, man? Huh? Three for 14? And 1% from three? Now granted, you got in the fight line on the free throw line? And you ain't a 9, but you gotta get the shots down, bro you know, feel ghost brother. At least get half of that. If you get half of that, the Knicks are gonna board a game 7. All you gotta do is just, like, I can just pump fake and then lean into the plan to get the foul. And you know? Yeah. He's a fish shit there. And it helps you out. And I'm kind of mad because the next thing you get the foul when you gotta put your face. Yeah, they did. They got some punched them. Fragrant one. So that's the new rule. Now anything above the neck and you hit somebody and you will above the neck, frigging one call. If they deem it as unnecessary. So you can do by action by trying to get your hands off somebody. What's the matter? What have you got like a fly aluminum? I just go like that. All right, it ain't funny. I'm just saying. Now the Knicks are in a very beautiful situation as far as like cap wise and draft. Because they have 11 draft picks for the next one. I think 5, 6 years? Yep. Don't let Demi agent go like goal here then. You could trade up two picks and go up and get another. We went for Russell Westbrook. James, hey, what's up man? Should I do with those? We are the star of this team. Man, gotcha. I'll tell you clackson. Let me get two first rounders. Okay. He's on effort off somehow. I kid you not. If we see daddy aides and James Dolan and compensation at the end of these finals. Oh my God. Brilliant, I could be at the end of it. Damien is the ultimate sweepstakes getter and gave it to the draft. And then he leaves the Timberwolves. My man about to Volkswagen traffic oh my God. I'm saying he doesn't know. Rando? If I'm a mix, and I'm sad to say it, bro you gotta trade them. You gotta go. I'm not saying training you are like, in terms of like, you're a bad player. 'cause you're not, but as far as team chemistry wise and trying to, you know, get down to get down, you don't fit, bro he didn't go. You don't fit. Bro, listen, the only thing he did worth a while was that commercially in front of the car shirts company. I was thinking your car is a Nick of your car. It was Julius Wendell. He was then Nick. But foul was a commercial. Well, guess what? You got to be able to market real soon. We need to go. I don't know, bro, and this kind of figure it out. Because Brunson is balling. He needs someone to compliment him. Yep. You know, Mitchell Robinson surprised you. So you understand, you know, just just now, let's go to Brooklyn, man. Now another thing too, which is dope about the Knicks because they have the creepy guy. We got her just ankle. He'll be back. Jericho since their potential for him, he has great potential grid upside he'll be back. So the next kid come back. He's got to get pieces around Brunson. And get rid of the he's the future. He's the future of the team. Reynolds is not get rid of rental rundale immediately. What you can. You got to take his contract and make three players out of that. And then you might have to turn the draft pick for buyout. The teams do buy us all the time. Come on, you know, maybe I'll get some business Sacramento, you know. Maybe so you don't know. This is not every day, right? Every day, bro Miami's gonna move on. They'll be facing the Celtics as we now all know. Here's the thing, here's my prediction for the funnels. Something's Lakers. There you go. I said it. No, I got Miami nuggets. That's what I got. I got Miami. I got Miami Miami. Miami's, I think my name's no one. Let me tell you why I think my name is gonna beat the Celtics. Coaching matters. And Joel louza is 34 years old. Coach spoke has been doing this for a while, bro. A long, long, long time. And the scene like the Celtics don't cross the eyes and doctor T's when it's most important. Because email dog was cracking that whip. Joe maluso doesn't really crack that one like that. Not only that, I don't believe when bush comes to show and stuff like that, the way Jayson Tatum did what he did in game 6 against the sixers, I don't think my reasoning like that happened. Nah, I really don't. I'm sorry, but I feel like I don't know why I feel like we are old school finals. It could be a long ass time. It could be, but I guess I don't feel it's been on a tear, but he's going to get Miami. Miami is not going to do what the 76ers did and make them go ISO one one O one. They're going to put butler on him. Yeah. And they're going to have, they're going to do like

"Edition of the tape podcast, a conversation with cam Christ, a Bloomberg news. I want to ask about the market implied recession probability that you quoted in your story. And you pointed out that it's dropped over three weeks from a 53% implied probability of a recession to a 33% implied probability of recession. So basically, you're able to discern from market prices that a recession is not really expected anymore by investors or it's not their base case. Is that right? It's a kind of a complicated model, but essentially what it does is try to distill signals from the yield curve, credit markets from the stock market and from treasuries to come up with a single figure what probability of the market is describing to a recession within a year. And we all know that an inverted the old curve is sort of threatening in terms of the economic cycle. But I think what is slightly less appreciated is the fact that it's a steepening from an inverted level that's really the sort of the warning clackson of imminent economic contraction. And while we did see that sort of trend, a steepening of the curve in the immediate aftermath of the SVB crisis, in fact, what we've seen more recently is the curve start to invert again. Which is kind of giving not necessarily the all clear. But a signal that sort of the grim Reaper isn't knocking on the door

"Lose it in the first place? Yeah, if you can have a pelt size to a hole in the pellet transporting box, put the pelt size hole on the top of the box. Yes. That is smart. That's how you do it. Unless the vibrations of the truck are so much that the pellet can jump through and I think that would be a fun thing to watch on a webcam. Radio pellet jumping out a box. Or the truck swings by a monster truck rally and does some truck flips. Oh yeah. Fantastic. I don't know, I feel quite bad for them. I lost a football boot once when I was in school in second mom and bought me a football boots for games and I lost one and I kept going to games and doing it in my trainers and then lying and coming home and going, oh yeah, everything's fine with my football boots and I felt sick about it for weeks and weeks and that wasn't even gonna kill anyone. So the idea of thinking, oh I've lost that thing and someone's probably gonna die. They must have felt awful. Absolutely. Terrible. So by the way, for the pedants, I know it's not monster truck. The doctor is the monster because he created, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who is his son? And therefore has the same last name as him. I was going to give them another week and if they hadn't found it in another week I was going to send my girlfriend to have a look for it because whenever I put my glasses down and then suddenly they've disappeared or my watch, I can't find my watch in the morning. She'll walk into the room that I've been searching for like 20 minutes and she'll be like, it's right there. So I was going to deploy her if it got any more serious. So it would have been fine in the end. I had this covered, but I am glad that they found it. Saves it. Yeah. It's quite far. Yeah, a long way to go. She would have had to take some time off work. But yeah, she would have walked into that desert and she would have been like, it's right there, mate. There it is. That's where you put it. Now, in trained animals news, this is the news of a series of ants who've been trained to use their smelling for good Keras, you love ants. Can you unpack this story for us? I do actually, I do actually love ants. And a study has shown that ants could be trained to distinguish between the P of mice that have cancer, and the P of mice that don't. And basically they've trained these poor ants to associate the smell of cancer with sugar, and so when they smell that an animal is peeing, he has cancer, they think, oh, I'm going to get a tasty treat and then they go into the pee to see if they can find the tasty tree, which means a treat which means that the future of medical care in this country is that your go to your GP and you'll say, oh, I think I've got a lump and then they'll put you in a box and they'll cover you with them. And then they'll tell you whether or not you have cancer. And then those ants will have to go home and their little ant families will be like, how was work today and then that ant will be like, oh, you know, it was just, you know, another day in the cancer piss factory. And that is what the future looks like. They might not cover you with the ants. They might ask you to sort of straddle across a box of ants and then piss onto them, which would be in some ways more dignified and in some ways less. Well, I mean, if it was good enough for medieval doctors, it's good to have a return to that style of medicine. I think they'll do it like animals choosing the World Cup. They'll get you to pee in a bucket and then they'll put a bucket of random pee, presumably like another patient's or a doctor's pee in the other bucket. And then you'll get to watch, maybe they'll get everybody from the waiting room to come and as well, because they'll be waiting there for a while, like it's nice for them to have some entertainment. And then they'll see which pee that ants go to and will all be like, oh. Do a clackson and go unleash the ants. And then they'll go to the bucket with a cancer in and that's going to be really awkward if it turns out the doctor is the one who has. What a way to find out. Can you wait until this becomes part of the gender reveal party process? Presumably you've got to sort of maintain that pavlovian association for them by rewarding them. So every time they do it, you've got to give them the reward, which means that if you're sat there like anxious and out of your mind and worried about the results, you first have to watch the doctors go, yay, well done ants and like feed them sugar before they eventually turn around and go. Yeah, this is not good actually. I'm sorry. I just think it's not great from a patient perspective. I can see why it's a step forward, it's exciting. In a way. One small step for a man is many millions. One of the tests for diabetes used to be, if you tasted someone's pee and it tasted very sweet, that was an early test for diabetes before medicine evolved from the doctors just put stuff in their mouths kind of process. If evaluating stuff. So I don't know whether or not is that going to confuse the ounce because they're going to think that's a tasty treat regardless of whether there's cancer in that pain. Or what if somebody's diabetic and yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, because this is the problem they think that it works with mice, but humans have got a lot more going on, so it might be more confusing for the ants. My favorite. So this isn't going to happen overnight. But that's been banned now, so they can't do that. That's it. They're not allowed to do research anymore. Charles, that was your. Oh, yes. I remember. I remember what I said. There's a quote I really liked in this story, which was there was a biomedical engineer said, this is an exciting new direction, was the quote, but it then said that this biomedical engineer studies locusts and their ability to detect cancer in urine and was not involved in this research, which feels to me just like the journalists messed up and spoke to the wrong person that somebody calls up and goes, hey have you heard these people that are researching quite similar stuff to what your research, but you weren't involved in what do you think? And you go, yeah, yeah, I guess, I guess it's all right, yeah. Yeah, I'm not the pissant guy. I'm the piss locust guy. If the locust descends on your farm and eats all your crops, it's fatal. It's bad news. And that's all the time we have for this week's episode of the gargle. I'm flipping through the ads at the back at Keras, have you got anything to plug?

"Mahal, Mike barraza. We have a great guest of honor. We're going to get right to them today. And then we can do some banter between you and I afterwards. Yeah, especially in light of the incidents in Memphis, Tyree Nichols. There was a gentleman. His name is Mark claxton. He is the director of public relations and political affairs for the black law enforcement alliance. And I saw mister claxton, a national media over the past week, and it was very profound, some of the comments that he had shared about the events that transpired in Memphis, mister clackson, first and foremost, thank you so much for joining Mike and Milo. Thanks for having me on. Now, you are a retired NYPD detective and your resume is stellar when it comes to your work and law enforcement. Again, NYPD, 28th precinct. You worked in central Harlem, the organized crime bureau and are narcotics division. I mean, some pretty dangerous work. So before we talk about Memphis, sir, can you just talk about the fact? And with your extensive experience in the NYPD and law enforcement, how dangerous the job is of a police officer, whether you're in Memphis or New York City, it is by very nature a dangerous job, but everyone who signs up does it so voluntarily understanding the full scope of the dangers that are out there and police officers are quick to say that we don't get paid for what we do, but what we may have to do one day. So it is there are some inherent dangers when you're dealing with the criminal element. And a lot of unexpected events can happen. I know you're born in Brooklyn, lived in Queens, raised in Queens, and a lot of people that Mike here and I talk about on our podcast. And we talk about law and law enforcement. The one thing I always say is walk a mile in a person's shoes. Those of us who are not in law enforcement have no idea. Every single day, the challenge is being a police officer that at the end of the day, you don't know when you leave your home, whether or not you're going home to your wife and your kids. So for Mike and I, who've never worked in law enforcement or a lot of our listeners, can you best describe whether it's the inherent danger or just not knowing whether you're going to come back home alive to your family at the end of your shift? Well, as I said, it's extremely dangerous. Some assignments more dangerous than others. But police officers don't on a daily basis consider the fact that they may have to pay the ultimate sacrifice. It's part of what the calling is to be a police officer. So you go into it with that understanding and you have assignments based on your ability to maintain your sanity as they say with everything else is going crazy around you. And to expect

"Whom can make the next play, all of whom can defend, that's a formula for winning at a high high level. If they can defend and rebound well enough to do it, and you don't have to overplay Seth curry and patty mills alongside Kyrie, lineups that are just gonna be too small. You can play them in short doses, heavy ones against the Celtics, the bucks, the sixers, it's gonna be, it's gonna be tough. Those are small lineups. Kyrie, by the way, is shooting the hell out of it, and we'll just leave it at that. He's playing great basketball. And the Simmons claxton lineups in that 14 and two stretch, the lineups that I thought maybe wouldn't make or break their season, but they'd have to work. They'd have to be a part of their rotation because they're the one of the only ways the nets can have like a functional defense enough rebounding. And I was skeptical they could work offensively with two non shooters, two guys who can't shoot free throws. At least one guy who doesn't want to shoot free throws, those lineups are plus 17 per 100 possessions. In that 14 and two stretch, they're now a solid positive for the season. They're scoring a 122 points per hundred possessions in that 16 game stretch with those two guys on the floor. That's like way beyond the best offense in NBA history. And part of that is because the nets have really cleverly said, essentially, with some exceptions, the only time claxton and Simmons are on the floor together. They're only on the floor together if both Durant and Irving are on the floor with them. We can only thrive offensively. Survive is probably too strong award. We can only thrive offensively with Simmons and claxton if we have these two all time great isolation scores. On the floor with them, when it's just when it's just one of those two, they can rest around rest kairi. And by the way, they're winning the Kyrie only minutes this season pretty solidly too. Their last couple of games went to ran his rested, you get this feeling, he's so dominant and he's so good, like the other team has got to win these minutes, then that's just have to survive those minutes right now. They're doing more than surviving those minutes. And I guess, you know, Joe Harris hasn't even been healthy. Seth curry hasn't even been healthy. And I said this on November 23rd, you could see the road map of this. The blurry outlines of it clackson Simmons working well enough, lots of shooting around them, lots of shooting around Durant and Kyrie. Two scores who, if the spacing isn't great, they don't care. They'll just live their way into the 14 foot range and make a ridiculous shot that's what they do. They'll pull up for three in transition to make a ridiculous shot. That's what they do. And all the big wings and all the switching, you can see the formula happening. It wasn't a secret. It wasn't a secret when they traded for Simmons who, by the way, has been good. As soon as it's been good in this stretch, she's making his little funky hook shots more than you expect. Great transition passer. Great transition passer. Still, you don't feel super comfortable with him in the half court offense, but he's doing enough and then that's aren't force feeding him pick and rolls and post ups and the stuff they were doing early in the season under Steve Nash. They've gone totally away from that and he's been fine with it. He's doing enough. You could see the road map, you could see the outlines of it. But you just had no faith that it would sustain for 20 games for 25 games for 30 games. Well, for 20 games it has. And for those 20 games, they look scary, scary good. Maybe someday I'll trust it. Really trust it. Can win four playoff series trusted? I'm not there yet. How could anybody be? There's always, there's always something with the Brooklyn Nets, but right now I'm just sitting back and I'm watching this show. And the star of the show is Kevin Durant. And I just remember what it felt like that night in Toronto when bob Myers was crying. Bob Mars is crying during a press conference. When's the last time you saw GM weep during a press conference? And that seemed apt that we all like everyone who was there. Sadness is not the right word, but you did feel a certain shock and a certain is Kevin Durant ever going to be the same again? This is kind of just kind of weird like Kevin Durant has been this constant other than the foot issue early in his career. He's been this just automatic roll them out 30 points doesn't need any plays called for him. He just does this and that. Is he ever going to be the same again? But man, I just sit back and I watch it every night because he's not just the same. He's as good or better than he's ever been. And in itself is remarkable and just watch the nets. Watch the nets. Their next three games Atlanta, Charlotte, San Antonio, Chicago, that could be four wins, even though three of them are on the road. They could be 26 and 12 going into games against New Orleans, Miami, and then Boston again in Boston is one of the teams that has beaten them in this 14 and two stretch, beat them in the playoffs last year. That game's on January 12th on TNT, our friends at TNT, that'll be a fun game, but credit to the nets. The world was telling them it was over, and they've decided it's not over yet. We'll see what happens the rest of the season. Let's bring in Tim McMahon to talk all things Western Conference.

"At his best in Brooklyn is a facilitator when they're fully healthy, they are loaded offensively. He should spend all his time in transition looking for KD looking for Kyrie looking for Joe Harris looking for Seth curry, but he still has to prove that he's a threat offense. That is willing to shoot because right now, when I watch these nets games, teams are looking at him and it just seems like every time they see him touching the ball, they know he's looking to pass. No matter how close he gets to the rim, he's not looking to finish. And that's got to change. Maybe it will. It is a small sample size for Ben Simmons. The bigger and more, I think, long-term problem. And this kind of connects to Ben Simmons, is that they're just small. I mean, Howard, you mentioned being at the opener. I watched it on TV. I'm sitting there, it had a very like Adam Sandler and Billy Madison vibe to it. You've got the pelicans out there. Just playing bully ball. You've got Valentine's around the rim tipping the ball to himself. Zion just going to the basket liberally knowing nobody on that nets back line is able to stop them. They've just got nothing on that front line. Nick Nick clackson is fine, but he's not a big guy. And there's nobody really behind him to help him out. And this is how it connects to Simmons. That puts Simmons in a tough spot because he's having to play power forward on the defensive side, because kairi's out there, you know, smaller guys are out there, whether it's patty mills or Joe Harris. So Ben Simmons is having to defend bigger players and that doesn't really maximize the defensive skills of Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons at his best when he's guarding smaller players or wing players defensively. Like that's where he thrives on that end of the floor. Matching up with Zion is not good for Ben Simmons. That's not going to yield many positive results when he has to match you up with that type of play.

"Illegal knee. The Saudi pro league, the Russian Saudi league, the league that my second son bear chooses on FIFA when he plays me. He lets me buy a Munich or PSG, my choice and then just destroys me for lulls where Valhalla. That is who we play Dave O a truly weakened Saudi team and God, what did we want to see? We wanted personality, but what I perseverance, your thing, bounce back ability. We wanted to reaction to Friday's loss. We wanted the baby eagles to show us that they are what we think they are. A truly talented collective, which they are. They are a truly talented set of individuals instead. Said they vote essentially what I realized watching this, especially in the second half, I do wonder, I think we are, I think our players might be quiet quitting. That's all the rage these days. So two things I had certainly rationalized. The U.S. lost to Japan in the days following that friendly. One, it's a friendly, two Japan are pretty good. Very, very good players. They play a very organized pressing hard charging game, and it can catch you in a friendly, that's the kind of football that can catch you. And I rationalize that within a real World Cup competition, the U.S. will be more prepared. There'll be ready for something like that. And also I looked at the U.S.'s group stage opponents and no one's going to play exactly like that against them. So I felt okay about it. And then I did think to myself, well, Saudi Arabia will be perhaps a better indication. And then when I saw reporting on the Saudi lineup that this was taken just from their domestic league and not, by the way, rods just from their first league taken many from their second division within that league. I thought, okay, here's now we'll really see how the U.S. tick and how they can really go and play. Against a team that may play a bit more like a ram may play a bit more potentially even like Wales or England and what is the Saudi second league is that Liv golf? I don't know it could be a good thing. We'll have to call halo. I have no idea rob what it is or what the level is. But it's not like Saudi Arabia blew me away in this game either. It just all felt for me in the most alarming thing about it. Is it just all felt very, very tame? It was, it was hard to watch. Yes, the U.S. had chances, Christian Pulisic had a clear header first off unmarked, set PC, because the space, which he, I think it surprised him execute. There's really a fascinating moment, most fascinating arguably the first half. Stu Holden in the commentary booth, David, insinuated that G arena signaled the set play, the corner. Where it was going by the number of bounces that he did by the corner flag before taking the kick, and I was like, wow. Greg clearly combining the signal calling he picked up from his Major League Baseball tour this summer with his love of bounce passes, but I also, when that news bouncing football is bouncing, roger. It's no more than bouncing. I said, my God, is there a more extra coach than Greg working on all the flourishes? And the micro details. But the big picture meeting potato basics of football, not so much, didn't that's what they did in training guys, if he bounces a ball four times in his right hand, that means it's going to go back post. Three times of his left hand. What does that mean? Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing. It means he's going to hit the first man. He's going to hit the first man. It's going to hit the first defender. If it's three pounds, it'll be like, guys, let's go back to the beginning. One bounce good, two bounces bad. Three bounces. Hit the first man. Who would play to the other? Oh wait, there was a moment in the game. This is amazing there with Fox actually put the clip out of this. This is what I think this is like a symbol of all the just the surreal reality surrounding our hopes our dreams are madness. They put this as a clip. It was similar. The tweet was like, Greg burr holds a behind the back pass clackson. But if you look at the actual clip, yes, our coach bounce passes the ball behind the back to Tyler Adams for a throw in. But if you actually look at the clip, Tyler throws the ball to western McKinney and western proceeds to cough the ball up immediately in midfield, it's a moment of just. Awfulness in transition and there's few greater symbols of where we all are right now than that, just wanking off on bounce passes behind the back while the play on the field is, what is it? What's that Arabic word? That Netflix series folder, folder. The play is chaos. It's folder. We are football folder for our Saudi Arabian listeners. That's what we watch for 90 minutes. Greg got a bounce pass, hockey assist to a turnover. I think it seems quite appropriate. Gio Reina agony for him subbed off on 30 minutes. My heart just ate 19 years of age so many injuries, so many awarenesses. He went right down the tunnel poor kid can not catch a break by and Dortmund coming up this weekend. Arguably Saudis had the best chance of the first half crazy scramble off the line, but that point they though I realized when I watched the U.S. it's different than me watching Everton where I just always expect terrible things to happen. Even when we go one Miller, the Cossacks are behind every door. The united states table, I hope watch.

"Excuse me. Oh, I couldn't get it muted in time. So we don't know where this is gonna go. Hornets put out a statement that basically said, we don't have anything to say, which is Andrew Brandt. He's an NFL guy, but he always says translation. We're pissed. And I think they absolutely are. I think had all that not happened, we would have got a miles bridges near max tweet today. And now, let's see what happens. I think if nothing else a hornets know it would have been a very bad look to do that today. So we'll see where that goes. Agreed. Yep. Yeah. That changed a lot. I think, for the hornets off season, we'll see what happens from there. And I think you've chased any other teams off of really going after him. Sure. Who else, who else is out there? All right, let's move on to more fun topics. Use of, still out there one of the top centers. I left on the market probably the best one behind the Portland, all the rumors that put them back to Portland, but we'll see. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. We'll see. Colin Sexton, still out there, but restricted guys always markets a little slower to move. Unless they're immediately re signing, with their own team, which we did see a couple of those today, right? We saw that with Bagley and who else went thinking about that did that. Nicholas clackson, I guess, like that. Then TJ Warren still out there. Probably a MLE target tax MLE for several teams looking for scoring from a forward there. Bruce Brown still out there. That one's a little interesting. With the nets, some other stuff, maybe brown's looking on saying, yeah, I don't know. If Katie and Kyrie are gone, maybe I don't want to be here. Maybe I want to go somewhere else. Come on, Looney, auto Porter, warriors, champion guys, are still out there Looney, I'm guessing just the warriors are maybe they're all still partying. I have to win in the finals. Don't get that one done. Porter will see, my guess. I still tend to think he's probably going to get priced out of Golden State but we'll see. Mitchell Robinson is very expected to re sign with the next sorry. No, I was going to say autoport of junior with the prices that wings have been getting. He's getting a full mid level from somebody, right? Yeah, he got a bigger taxpayer mid level yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah, easy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, all these guys that we've mentioned here to probably all are in line for the taxpayer if not get more. From somebody, so Mitchell Robinson, the best assumption, as he set it back to the Knicks. Montrez harrell will see what happens. He got in a little bit of trouble himself. A little bit of trouble. What's going on in Charlotte, man? Guys, be smarter, you're about to be free agents and make major, major money. Andre Drummond will take him off the board now I hadn't yet. He's gone to the bulls. Dante divincenzo had his did not get a qualifying offer from the kings. So free agent, if someone's looking for a shooter, why not? That's a good get there. Gary Payton the second probably headed back to the warriors. We'll see..

"Without doubling the amount of racing. I just seems like an obvious solution. Now, two things here. Either we accept that Monaco is unique and then we kind of turn a blind eye to some of the current stringent regulations regarding pit stops and fuel you need to have and tire allocations and what have you. So either we accept, turn a blind eye to those for this one race, given the extraordinary circumstances of monocoque Monaco. Or bay. Because if you recall, about those 1000 wasn't always a championship race. Oh, I see. You see where I'm painting outside. Outside the one rice. Yes. It's not a Formula One, right? No. You want? Whatever you want. You want to take the helmet off, you take your helmet off. Well I got it in everything. If you want to turn up with an IndyCar, be my guest. But good luck to you. Yeah. So what if we just to Formula One event? Yes, not that world championship race does it really matter that it is not a world championship. Rice. Because the Monaco Grand Prix is always going to be the Monaco girl on Prix. If we take away the points aspect, the championship permutations, if we make it just a stand-alone event, then you could have wild caught entries too. Teams that want to be in it. Yes. Yes, exactly. Wouldn't that be good then that Stefan GP team, they're still doing donuts in the Toyota car park and cologne. They can enter one race because it's a I don't want to say it's a junk rice because it's yeah, it's still very special. You need to respect the moniker Grand Prix. I don't know if maybe this has been formed because, you know, the Monaco Grand Prix, it's been one because it's been the same 300 kilometer odd race. So I don't know how I feel about that. Normally I'm pretty okay with that. However, in terms of just kind of discounting, well, bring what you what you can. Go nuts. Yes. I think the other thing I'd love to say, we've just had ND on the same day, obviously. Yes. But the indie goes for like a month. It starts off with the Indianapolis Grand Prix, which is just a conventional race three days, whatever Indy race is. And then you've got like weeks. When we talked about a couple of weeks ago, I got all those funny names for the days, carb day, bump day, leg day. All of the time. I got a day dedicated just to that thing where they pull your head with a massive rubber band or whatever that's called Nick die. Why can't we do the same with Monaco? Why does Monaco have to be through? Why can't they do? 'cause they close the road any, not they don't close the road, but they put up the barriers and stuff months in advance because I had formula E there. I think at the end of April, I started why can't they just do lots of random? Why can't we have carb day in Monaco? Yeah. Except fast, we just eat heaps of pasta. Rookie day. And then you've got to get in the car full. Rookie day. What a great idea. They should make it if Monaco is going if the Sunday is going to be a big crap. Let's be honest. Make everything else better. Just make it bigger, louder, bring that clackson back. So much more like a drew. I reckon.

"He was plus a lot. I don't remember what a 20 something. Yeah, plus 24. Be careful. I'll turn this into a Deandre benbury podcast, if you let me. But I think a couple of quick things on him. This is characteristic of what we've seen him do consistently. This entire season. And I remember watching him, especially when he was with Atlanta early and you use the word frenetic, I think that's a way to describe him. But just even for as much as I feel like I've seen him developing growth through the course of his career and as he matures and I'm really impressed, he's a beast on the defensive end and ball off ball passing lanes instincts. No one where to be timing all the stuff, all the things, right? Offensively, that's where I've been impressed because he moves and cuts so well off the ball. And in the wake of a lot of these players, so him playing off of Durant or off of harden, now seeing him off of and he has been solid enough from three you'll see it at what point if it does regress maybe more back to the mean, but he's been shooting a three really well selective intake in those open shots. But his movement offensively, it does. And it changes a clip in the tempo of the game. So he was a really important factor, but I think that goes back to and I'll let you get into it. But just the options you have with playing coming into the season and when the team thought that they would have Kyrie Irving, I think the big thing we discussed and let's not forget Joe Harris being hurt. So the lack of spacing and three point shooting I've had without him. I think has been something that has happened them throughout moments and stretches, you know, the last few weeks. But I think just the optionality and ways that you can play big or small, where you're playing Kevin, if you're going big, are you putting Aldrich in there? What clackson looks like claxton now has started to get healthier conditioning back now that he's come back and how he fits in with that lob threat, the versatility brings defensively. So I think to me, I know adding Kyrie Irving on the road. So again, just on the road is one thing, but then how do you remain fluid enough and everyone understand roles and responsibilities in both places and with different lineups to be able to find consistency where there is kind of a complete level of inconsistency? Let's start with what you just said, Kyrie on the road. Our Nick friedell asked Kyrie after the game, if being around the team and whatever but maybe make him change his stance on getting vaccinated and Kyrie just said, man, I'm just taking it one day at a time and then he went on from there. So I'm using one day at a time now for any time anyone asked me a difficult question. Even if it's like, even if it's unrelated, if my wife is like, hey, are you gonna take the car to get to get it? It's 5000 miles. You know what, honey? I'm just taking it a day at a time. Can you chop the potatoes for dinner tonight? You know, just taking it one day at a time. So you talk to the players and the coaches more than I do here on this team. I have this is a completely unprecedented situation if this persists a half available geographically half available player. We've already had these ridiculous discussions which make me want to throw up in my mouth like they're so ridiculous. I can't even have them about what the nets throw games at the end of the season to be the second seed instead of the first seed. I can't even, first of all, the basketball gods will notice that and they will punish they will punish you. They will punish you in with the basketball gods. They will they do not mess with the basketball guy. I can hear the grumbling on mount Abdul jabbar up they are. They are grumbling already at the very existence of this discussion. But he does have Kyrie does have the kind of game where it's just like plug and play. He's not the number one ball handling option anymore with Hardin and KD. He's not the number one scoring option. He doesn't even play as the only star all that much. There's either one of hardener KD on the floor with him, of course, last season, they settled into a rotation with the brief time they had these guys were hard and would be the solo star more than the other two. And he just sort of he's a baller. He just comes out and plays, but is there like, how do they actually feel about this? It's just so weird. Is this a sustainable thing? I think so. I think so at least we'll take this day by day Zack. I think at least I think at least for the time being. Just given the fact that the dialog from the staff from the guys, you name it, had been a level of mutual respect for the decision he was making. And vice versa. And I think that has been consistent. Welcoming him back by all accounts, everyone that you talk to, you see, you see it in their face and their words and their expressions and how they say it were thrilled for him to be back and be back on the road. He's going to be still practicing. I know practice is very limited in the NBA these days, but whenever they're back apart..

"We know we've traded a lot. We've got to make the most of what we got. We got a finagle ways to get back in the draft. They've both done a nice job. I'll tell you those Brooklyn guys Kessler Edwards, I really never seen him play before the other night. They looked ready for that moment. None of them were faced with David duke junior. I think if David junior has a jump shot, he has a chance to be a decent player. They have both those teams have done a nice job at the back end of the roster. And you mentioned daeron sharp, like for Brooklyn, if they feel good about his development and what he's doing behind the scenes, that's going to make clackson far more tradable for them. They're going to feel better about trading clacks and if they know they have sharp coming up. Let's do a couple more. Give me a name. How about Jonathan kuminga, the Golden State Warriors? I did not expect that. Make the case. Make the case. Do you make the case? Another guy who fits both criteria we're talking about. Warriors obviously a title contender. He's flashed some great defensive versatility as a young guy. His potential in that sense is an interior finisher on offense. You know, we've seen what Gary Payton the second can do there. Maybe coming a plug into that. But if your goal in state, I personally feel like they should be seriously looking into demand at sabonis. And packaging a wiseman, type of deal for sabonis, you upgrade Looney to sabonis. We're talking about the very, very clear favorite in the Western Conference here. Did they need some bonus to win a championship? No. Do they need to make any change to win a championship? No. But you can make a change to increase your odds and the way sabonis is kind of been talked about the last couple of weeks with him on the trade block. I feel like he's underrated Zach. Plug him into Golden State the way they whip the ball around. The ball pings around. That to me would be very exciting to watch in Golden State. If you put a nerf gun to my head right now, I would say Golden State does nothing big at the trade deadline. That's just, again, I'm just making a random semi educated prediction because you just said it. Do we need to do anything to win the title? Maybe not. And I think as long as enough people in that front office and in that ownership suite in particular, think the answer is maybe not. I just feel like they've loved this idea of bridging the two eras. And if they're this good and clay's just coming back, I don't know that they're rocking the boat in a huge way. So bonus is interesting to me because the passing and IQ fits in, I just he loves to hold the ball. Like he's a good passer, but does he play with it fast enough? If you put the right players around it, maybe he does like he and McDermott had a lot of that sort of wink wink. It's a great kind of stuff. Going on in defensively, I just think they would be concerned is this can this guy be on the floor when we play team TBD, whoever it is, that's our biggest competition. But a lot of those teams in the west, they have big dudes. They have big dudes that are not going to stretch him out two two too far, whether it's the Lakers or the sons or jokic and no one can cardio try than 8 and I guess. It's interesting. It's an interesting, I don't know what they're going to do, but I would bet on stasis or some small move around the fringes. But I don't know what you've heard, but I think again, it's also early for all this. Yeah, I mean, same here, Zach. It's been like that for years, didn't Joe like up even publicly say we want to be the next purse. A couple of years ago. I believe it was maybe during the raptors warrior series that year, at least. Wants to be the spurs. So, I mean, that's what they want to be. If ownership wants to be that, then maybe they maintain status quo and build with the young guys to bridge the era for and that could very well be the right decision when you have a 6 foot 8 muscular rookie in kamenga who already already shown good defensive ability if he can tell you. He is a specimen. He said some finishes at the rim where he's moving fast and up and powerfully and you're like, oh my God, he went from the foul line to the rim before he even realized what the hell was going on. And he plays at the kind of speed they play with his interesting before the season I'm sure you heard the same thing. They thought moody was going to be more ready to help their team than come in and it's turned out to be the opposite. The manga is more prepared in their view to help their team. He is, whew, he's a beast. And if you're the warriors too, like I said, I'm obsessed with the idea of both sabonis there. I understand the concerns, like you said, defensively, Zack, but he did a little more because I want you to show me on it a little more 'cause I mean, it's really just rooted in the playmaking ability. And just increasing your final odds more, that's where it's rooted, finding a better player to increase your final lots further in a year that the championship is pretty open right now. You might be the favorites, but that doesn't mean you need to stop getting better when you have a historic player and Steph Curry and Klay Thompson coming back. The defensive player of the year, candidate and draymond, why stop trying to get better? That's where I sort of look at it. But if your goal in state, you still need to take a long view here. And if you're the warriors, you're like, why would we trade our young guys when we've turned.

"Basketball reference is one of the great truth tellers of all time. First notice this when I was doing my book and I was trying to rank people and really going through the stats because in some cases you just had the stats and you had YouTube clips and that was it. But in general, when the points per game and the free throws start going down and you can look at somebody's career for ten, 12, however many years it is. And you just see that points per game art going down. Like it has with harden, it's usually a terrible red flag. Now you could say, oh, it's different situation, whatever. But he has kind of the perfect arc that like if you go look at Allen Iverson's basketball reference where it's like he's in the 30s and he's in the high 20s and then also it's done. That's the dramatic, clearly there's more going on there. This is a more old school somebody who's just not at the peak of his powers anymore. And you think of all the stuff they gave for him. I think they were expecting somebody who could at least be one of the best 7 players in the league for the next couple years. Now, if he goes to Philly and it's Simmons and a bunch of picks last year and he's with them bead. Is it a better version of hardeners at the same? How do you think it plays out alternate universe season Philly last year? I don't know, you got hurt, you know? He got hurt. So now he's automatically healthy in Philadelphia. That's a big assumption. Durant. But he didn't tear his ACL. He pulled his hammy. And what about like 8 months ago? No, so you're saying Hardin right now with Philadelphia? Yeah, I'm saying, I wonder if part of it is the situation. Where Durant's so easy to play with. I think Durant bails these guys out of bad possessions all the time. You know, clearly I mean, do you feel like hardens impeding anything Durant doing? I think I'm just trying to play it out. So do we think this just happens wherever he goes? Harden. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I don't know why there'd be a much better version of him with Philadelphia when he's playing with the best offensive player other than it depends on what you want with stepper Durant, but I still think if you need a bucket at the end of a playoff game, you still feel better with a 7 footer with a handle than you do somebody step size. So I don't know. Have you seen? Like give me your version of it then I'm saying you're wrong but get me your philosophy on what it would be with embiid and why it might be different or a higher ceiling a harden because that's where I'm confused. I think Philly's all around team is better. And I think it's a better spot for harden, where there's no, oh, who should take it this time? And obviously he's going to defer to Duran a lot of these times because the ran's the best scoring forward we've ever had in our lives. On the Philip team, it's him and embiid, but the combo makes more sense to me in my head. And I might be wrong. Maybe it makes more sense. You might be right there. You know, then you have a big garden next to maxi. You have a big garden next to Kurt. Yeah, just like the game for him better. I don't think you would add to play point guard as much. Like he's basically playing point guard for the nets, which I think at this point of his career. I don't know if that's awesome either. Basically been a point guard now for a second. Get it. And to be fair too, maybe max your career involved in one of the trades and the other way going out. Maybe it's an easier slot to kind of feel right in, but wait a minute, whether it's clackson not playing Blake's not playing Joe Harris isn't playing. You know, they got cam Thomas out there, The Rookie from LSU. And they kind of needed him the great shots. I was shocked by that, the bulls game. I don't know what they're outside, but I'm guessing that Joe Harris contractor the Kyrie would be if they're trying to get better. But this is also a team that could have signed in with you last year, right? They could have just kept him. They could have put the numbers to give it a shot. Yeah, but at some point, what do you care about the numbers if your numbers are already insane? And it doesn't seem like they cared about the money to begin with, but he was an asset they gave away. They gave away Jared Allen as an asset, which kind of turned into a low 20s pick. And they really were committed to Deandre Jordan for some reason, even though he's been done for three years. Speaking of that Lakers, I just don't think it's salvageable and people are like, you should take the Lakers. Like, well, both are true, maybe. Well, exactly. Second one's definitely true. And sports hate the Lakers. Right, and what we've been doing here is I've been kind of prepping for my position on however I'm on a counter you on this one, and that is why don't you just go ahead and do all your Laker stuff and then I'll follow it up. All right, I don't really have any Lakers stuff. I think there are slightly above 500 team. The.

"I got the Twitter notification. I thought maybe that was the news. Well, right now, if there's suspensions as we talked about in our earlier episode. But yeah, let's see what that looks like for the you're just going to have to kind of keep getting through it. Yeah, with that, Lamarcus Aldridge had some interesting comments too. He talked about how coming off the bench is new for him. I still figuring it out, and it's not as comfortable and those kind of things. And that makes sense for a guy who has done nothing but start for his entire career. So yeah, what we're going to see we're all kind of comes down to yet scary stuff for Nick clackson there. So hopefully he is right knee is on the mandible. This is just like the negative episode. I'm kind of realizing that, as I'm looking over our show notes here, we've got we've got angels. Coach gets fired, whiplash batum, claxton, and now let's finish things up with oh, Canada. Canada won't allow unvaccinated athletes into the country after January 15th. Now, again, it's been reported that the vast majority of the NBA is vaccinated. And obviously, one of the more high you want to say we were down to like 50 ish place. So and Kyrie's not playing anyway. That would be the big headliner one, right? If Kyrie was playing and then the nets had a game in Canada in Toronto, like, okay, that would be a story there. But we're dwindling here in terms of the number of players who are unvaccinated. So I don't know how big of an impact this will make, but still, it's something to keep an eye on January 15th as of that date, no unvaccinated athletes can be allowed in. Now, obviously that's going to apply to other sports as well. So you can think about the NHL, what that might mean there. But the bottom line is for the NBA. I don't think this is going to be a huge, huge deal unless of course you are one of the ten 15 or so players that are still unvaccinated. Yeah, 16 home games for the raptors after that January 15th day. So, you know, a couple teams, it looks like just eyeballing it are in there twice. It looks like Boston goes there to no Boston doesn't because there are other time is before that Boston goes there once late in the year. Atlanta, Philly, Houston, they've got a little home stand at the end of March. So, yeah, it's we're going to find out. We're able to find out real quick if there's players for some reason, Kyrie is able to return to the nets before them. And that's do play in Canada on the let's see the loss of March 1st..

"Were doing things and you're right, Jordan or like we've talked all about how amazing it is that the nets were able to get camp Thomas and what a difference maker. He can be just talent wise, even if they don't need his skill set, and then Jordan or is like, yeah, I can do stuff too. And came in and made a major impact. That was great to see you as well. Look, I mean, they lost drew holiday and didn't miss a beat. Not many teams in the NBA can do that. In holiday, it was really good before he went out he was playing great defense, which is that's really what they need him to do, but he also had 12 points. A couple of other things that jumped out just team wise with the box because they had 13 offensive rebounds and they only turned it over 7 times. They took 21 more shots than the nets did. In this game, they took a 105 shots, which it's always been kind of a thing. If you can get up over a hundred shots, that's means you're crashing the board. You're not turning it over, and you're probably pushing pace a little bit. So when you out shoot your team in terms of attempts by 21 shots, that it's hard to make up that difference. So that was a big part of it. Absolutely. And that's what I was going to get to next was the 7 turnover 7 turnovers on opening night. That tells you that, look, one of the things you're going to see in early in the season is you're going to be able to tell the teams that mostly brought back all of their players from last season compared to the teams who did not and had a lot of major changes. The teams who brought back most of their players, they're going to have an advantage in the early going the season because they're already going to have some of that chemistry kind of built in. And that was certainly the case with the Milwaukee Bucks. But still, again, that's not to say, oh, it's just because they brought back so many players, the nets brought back a lot of their guys to the bucks were just flat out better. Tonight. And I think Keith that means the nets burn it to the ground, just rebuild start over hundred. It's over and yeah, the nets obviously clearly frauds. They've been exposed. They're not winning a championship this year. Yeah, they that's why James Harden didn't sign this attention. This is a good point to mix in. We are still going to do the front office show regular show version where we talk news and transaction stuff. We're not going to do a lot of that. On this feed because this week we want to focus on game will not feed. It's still the same feed, but there's version of the show subset of the show, whatever we want to call it, but to be named, show it to be named later. We're not going to spend a lot of time on that. But all right, so we'll flip it over to the work one side. Katie was really good at least offensively. Defensively, he didn't look overly engaged. None of it. No. They cared all that much defensively. They just didn't have a good answer for a lot of the stuff Milwaukee was doing. Thought it was an interesting lineup choice by Steve Nash. He went big with Nick clackson and Blake Griffin. KD played almost solely at the three very little at the four in this game and I thought that him as a floor is unguardable as a three, but he's really unguardable as a four for any other big. And that kind of allowed Giannis to kind of float around a little bit 'cause he wasn't overly concerned regarding Blake Griffin. Claxton was okay. He had 12 points and 7 rebounds. Finished off a couple logs from James Harden, but it's just, I don't know, that was an odd lineup choice I thought from Steve Nash. I didn't love that one because the other thing it left him with, you have a good answer to guard Chris Middleton. And then Bruce Brown only played under four minutes and got them all in garbage time at the end of the game or when the nets kind of wave the white flag. So I didn't really get that and understand where they were going with the lineup decisions. From that end, harden shot it horribly. Yeah, 28, 8, so kind of a James Harden line, if he had shot it a little bit better. There, Joe Harris, a little off. I think one of the things that the nets do really are excuse me, the box do really well is they run Harris off the three point line. But then they have size to contest him and what ends up happening is his shot he doesn't want to take is that mid ranger. He just, it's not comfortable for him, and that's what he was missing in this game was he could run off the ark. He was missing those mid rangers because you've got Lopez and Giannis back there, kind of cluttering things up in the paint. Patty mills was really real stand up guy. I thought for them. Yeah, 7 for 7 from three off the bench, 21 points in 29 minutes. He looks really good. He's going to be a huge part of what somehow I don't know if they hypnotized him or what they did, but somehow they got it so that patty mills when he looked down, he saw not a net Jersey but an Australian Jersey because that's what you've got out of patty mills. You've got a team Australia version of patty mills, and that was that was an impressive performance from him. As far as the lineup goes, I think that the thought was just build a wall at the rim to deal with Giannis and then you want as much length as you can get. And it just didn't work out for the nights, but I do expect that they'll it's just not those guys. Yeah. Yeah, his odd get into him in a minute here in the next game. You're better off with Deandre Jordan doing that than maybe you would be with some of these other guys that they played. Lamarcus Aldridge didn't look very good, Paul Millsap didn't look very good in brief minutes, James Johnson get out there. They kind of I think that was just a searching for stuff. I'm not throwing him on Bill Giannis for a little bit. And it just, it didn't work out. Now it's opening night, nothing here is worth going crazy over. It's clearly not against one of the other best teams in the league, one of the title favorites. So when we see the nets next, I don't know who they have next, but when we see them play in their next game, they're probably going to roll over whoever it is and we'll be like, oh, next up is the 76ers. Okay, well, maybe they won't. It's you have some of the same problems there with Joel embiid. They're in a struggle against size. If you have size I can score, do some self, especially if it's a guy who's kind of a good size and can handle the ball a little bit. You're gonna struggle. Then that's gonna struggle to stop those guys. They just don't have a good defender to put on place. I'm expecting. Okay, I know we're in the COVID era and all that. But before the nets of the 76ers play each other, I want Sean marks and Daryl morey to like meet each other, you know, maybe shake hands, maybe give a hug just kind of give each other that knowing nod of I understand what you're going through right now with Kyrie and Ben Simmons and just say, it's okay, buddy. We'll get through this. I feel like we need to connect these two guys somehow. That'd be pretty funny. You know what would happen though. It would instantly someone would snag a picture and be like, they're talking to Simmons. Oh, they have to be. You know, even though they're more commiserating. You want to move on. I know you probably don't. No, no, I do. I do want to move on to this one. And I do want to mention to our viewers too. The reason why we're going as in depth as we are today under these games is because there's only two of them in the future it will be much more rapid fire. Yeah, it'll probably be one or two observations at most games. Yeah, so warriors Lakers one 21 warriors one 14 Lakers. This one was a kind of a weird game. It felt like for large portions, the Lakers had control to me felt like they were really, there was a point in the third quarter where it was teetering on this might end up being a blowout and they might run away with this. And then the warriors, it's funny because what I'm seeing getting play kind of online this morning is they're offense, but I thought the warriors defense is what changed the game. And I thought they picked it way way up defensively. I thought Steve Kerr after trying some different stuff. Finally found a group that could fit defensively. And then I thought that was what really amped him to them up because LeBron and AD there.
