Joe Mizzou is literally out at half court trying to call timeout. Refs won't give it to him. You can see him like for seconds just calling timeout. They don't give it to him. Jalen gets called for an offensive foul later in that play. That doesn't happen very often. So it's just like there's been a lot of weird, weird stuff.

And I'm not trying to give them excuses because they also need to execute better. Their crunch time defense needs to be a lot better. Their fourth quarters in general just need to be a lot better. A lot of it is just like weird stuff has happened during this stretch. And over the course of a season, that's that stuff happens. But for them, it's all happened.

It's all been jammed into slamming jammed into a one or two month stretch.

The Magic, I've been a Magic fan for a long time. I think the way they play defense is just incredible. Those guys can really, really defend. I don't know if they have enough offense to challenge a team like the Celtics, but even if that's a four or five game series, you come out of that... You're bruised. You're beaten. You've dealt with jail and sugs for seven games.

You've dealt with the size and physicality of Franz Wagner and Paulo Banqueiro. You've just... You're not going to be feeling great about yourselves coming out of that series, I think, because you probably struggle to score. Nobody's really in rhythm. If I were them and the Magic are near the bottom of the standings in the Eastern Conference, that's the team that I wouldn't really want to play.

Yeah, I mean, it goes back to last season, too. During the playoff run, he shot 20-something percent on threes, and he was still awesome. It's really hard when you shoot that high volume to shoot that poorly and still be great at basketball. But he's screening. He's moving off the ball. He's getting off the ball when he's double teamed. He's in charge of the offense. He's in command. Yeah.

Like you said, he plays defense. Great, great rebounder for his position. And so this transformation is it started happening a long time ago where he was like just a bucket early in his career and has gradually become one of the best all around players in the league.

Yeah, so it's been a weird season for him because his playmaking has gone way up. His assists have gone up. He's making much better decisions at the rim. Where he's had the biggest dip is like long twos or mid-range twos. And last year he was automatic. For the past five years, he's been very good at those. And so the rate that he's hitting those shots right now is,

kind of might be fluky how poorly he's shooting um i don't know if he'll get back to where he was last year where it was like long two seemed automatic fadeaways seemed automatic but you know this this season the long twos um he might be due for a turnaround

First, I just want to lodge a protest. I know you guys rigged this game against the guests. Wow. And I just want to get out of that. If I win, it's because I've overcome a cheating job. If I lose, it's because of the cheating job. So I'll go with four.

Am I allowed to look at the standing, like pull up my phone and look at the standing so I can see the teams just to remind me of which teams are out there? Who plays in the NBA? Who is in the NBA? I promise I'm not cheating right now other than looking at the standing. I just need to see which team plays in the NBA. To remind me of, so, okay. I'm looking at Boston.

No, there's no other player on Boston who does that. New York, I'm going to say no. Philly, no. Toronto, no. Brooklyn, probably not. Cleveland? Let's go all 30, baby. I'm going to go with Merrill. That is correct for one million. Wow, your strategy is working. We got Merrill. Milwaukee. A.J. Green might be a possibility, but that's not an answer yet. Okay. I'm going to go to Indiana. Indiana.

Indiana, probably not. Detroit, no. Chicago, they get them up. They really get them up, but I don't know. They're trying to. They have anybody. Miami, Duncan Robbins. Duncan Robbins has added some twos to his game lately, so I'm going to say no there. Orlando, this is... All right, let me look at the West. I don't think anyone else in the East, other than maybe A.J. Green, is on this list.

So you got one possible name? Lakers? No. Clippers? Probably not. Phoenix? Phoenix could have, like, some random bum who does that. Like, just a role player next to KD and Booker. Damn it! Okay. Okay.

Has Klay Thompson morphed so much that he's there too? Have his twos gone down? Probably not. He's got more to his game than that. San Antonio, no. New Orleans, probably not. Okay, see, this is hard. I'm going to go with A.J. Green. That is correct for another point.

I need to find the other one.

So that means this is, this is a random, random player. Um, I don't think I'll go three for three either because those two stood out to me, but nobody else does. Yeah. Just nobody. Absolutely nobody. I can't pass, though. Who am I going to say? Just throw out a random guy.

Semi-tall white guy. Those are the guys who just launched. The 6'7 guys that teams draft simply as specialists.

Oh, man. Man, man, man. Man, man, man, man, man. It's going to be someone random. It's not going to be a white guy either. It's not. I'm going to say a Phoenix. I'm going to say a Phoenix bum. I'm going to go Ryan Dunn. Okay.

I know he's a non-shooter, but I feel like he still takes all threes.
