Chapter 2: What happened during the Thunder-Pelicans altercation?
Good point. That's a long time ago. And also, my brain says, they didn't really have a good December. They lost to the Spurs the whole time. But, you know, they were 9-4. The Spurs were technically 11-4. Although they were 11-5, I guess, because they don't count the game at the end of the NBA Cup. So, I mean, OKC is still good. But your mind says that was a bad month for them.
Either way, they get awards still. We had another scuffle last night, too, between the Nets and the Suns. And that one happened late in the game. That one led to five technical fouls. And there was something like a nine-minute delay while the officials tried to make sense of the shenanigans that happened there. And it was another Canadian involved in that one. There was a loose ball.
Like, guys were fighting for a loose ball. Also, it was a two-point game. Big difference. Very tight. Time's still on the clock. Yeah. Game was still up for grabs, and they were literally trying to grab the ball, and Yegor came over and, I guess, pushed Dylan Brooks, who, like, completely just toppled over, I think, selling it, I guess. Very weird.
And then that's led to a bunch of them sort of, like, fighting. Nobody left the bench, though, players-wise. It was just a bunch of assistant coaches running out there, TK. And, again, it ended in a bunch of technicals. Yeah, it's crazy that Lou Dort and Dylan Brooks would get into an altercation. I can't believe it.
But Curtis Blair really made me laugh when he was explaining the technical fouls, particularly for the Nets. He said the technical fouls were on Denham, Manns, and Porter. Straight up denim. He said instead of yeoman. Which is why, like you were saying, people were going to leave him until later in the draft. Vince took him earlier than I thought. I think it was Vince that drafted him.
I guess he's got maybe the Nets ties there. I guess it was the Suns broadcast. When it took eight or nine minutes of waiting to find out who was going to get technical fouls, they purposely will not say... His name. They just keep calling him Rookie. Rookie. Rookie. They said Rookie like a million times. They were like, I'm not trying. Denim Man's Importer. That made me laugh a lot.
I can see Yegor getting fined at the very least because he had the most...
egregious sort of yeah the instigation instigation like i mean he kind of decks brooks you know he pushes him down yeah brooks kind of gets tabletopped and yeah just laid there on the ground looking up i thought it was a funny reaction as well but uh yeah just an angry night in the association i guess i had to check i checked my app i was like is there a full moon Nah. No? Nah.
We've only got three quarters going on here. I don't know if it was waning or relaxing. I didn't pay attention, but we've got to gibbous. I've got a theory. I think this type of weather gets people a little more frustrated. That's a great point. A little irritated, cooped up. Yeah, just like the travel these teams have to do with this crappy weather, delays, you know. You're on edge a little bit.

Chapter 3: What are Doc Rivers' thoughts on Joel Embiid?
He would never do this if they had kept the trade deadline after the all-star break you're right like sorry I can't take an hour and a half off to Do you think I'll play with his phone in his hand?
He's got to also funny Somehow we're never invited into this thing, but we got a lot of ideas for you You can go pro that phone put it on his head Do you basically record what he's like you use that camera for the broadcast? Okay? Yeah Okay. Why not? Lots of ideas. All right. That's is this news. Let's take a break and then we'll hit the beach to answer a few of your questions.
The reason I wish the Super Bowl was this Sunday rather than a week later is because... My snacks. I mean, I want to get into them ASAP. This just means they're getting older. Because my pantry is full. Because you stocked up with the cold weather coming, the ice storm and all that? No? They've just gathered. My snacks just gathered. I've got...
I've got the will to stay away from my snacks, so literally I've got some sour cream and onion that need to be eaten. I've got those sweet potato chips we talked about a while back, JD. They don't really taste like sweet potatoes, but hey, they're a good vessel for a snack. They're nice and crunchy. I got some nibs. Are nibs different in Canada than they are here for my Canadian brethren?
I'd have to do a taste test, but I feel like they're a tiny bit different.
There's a
The texture is all the same. Anyways, they're still good. But I would like to get to them this Sunday. Now they're just seven days older. You're not going to have a Pro Bowl party? The Pro Bowl. Shador Sanders is in it. That's right. That's right. He had a great season. Yeah, he was really good this year. And more interceptions than touchdowns, I saw. Wow. Pro Bowl.

Chapter 4: What controversies surround Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame eligibility?
What's the reasoning? I mean, people were speculating that the Colts guy, Bill Polian, was like voting against it because they wanted to make Bill Belichick wait a year for the various scandals that engulfed the Patriots during his time. Spy gate, deflate gate. Okay. I think those are the only gates they had.
But they were saying you were stepping outside the bounds a little bit, but they also won so many Super Bowls. I think he won eight Super Bowls total, including the Giants. So this guy, he's trying to make a point. Like, we're not putting you in right away. Yeah. Because you did some... Suspicious things yes, yes, because this is his first year. He's eligible.
Yeah Reggie Miller was not happy on the broadcast Going to commercial he said before we go to commercial actually didn't say that he just said what the heck put Belichick He was mad six as it As a coach. And what were the other two? Two as the defensive coordinator, I guess, for the Giants. During the Parcells era. Ah, way back. He beat our Bills, didn't he? Back-to-back Jacks? Guess so.
Did they win two in a row? I don't know about that. No, the Giants? No, no. I assume he was on the Parcells Giants. Not against the Bills, that's for sure. So he beat the Bills, yeah, for one time. Let's hit the beach. Scott Norwood. Let's hit the beach. You got the buzz!
Chapter 5: What are the implications of RJ Barrett's career compared to Zion Williamson and Ja Morant?
I got the rockets.
You got the nuts.
I got the chocolates. We got that chit-chat down pat. Blah, blah, blah.
You got that certain special.
Je ne sais quoi. Let's go to the beach. Okay, our first question, because we're on the beach, the only place to read your emails and your tweets, and it comes from Brom. That's the Inception sound on me. Skeets mentioned, Con Canipple's rookie stats are comparable to Steph Curry's. Admittedly.
I don't meticulously follow the Hornets, but if I squint my eyes enough when watching Khan play, I can see a future star. No real proof, I'm no scout, and I'm definitely just correlating the three-point shooting with, ooh, new Steph-type deal. I guess it's just a gut feeling. That's something you guys were sure of, but had no tangible proof to back the claim.
Pod in the loo time, turd up, no hemorrhoids, awesome. Again, that's from Braum. What do you think, Tass? You want to get started here? Hearing Trey repeat the line there from Braum multiple times in the studio yesterday, pod in the loo time, turd up, no hemorrhoids, awesome, was very funny. Braum, you did it. The human mind. Is amazing. Things that people can think of.
You would have never thought to put these like 12 words in order. I've never been put in order before. Pod in the loo tug. That alone's been never said. First time ever. Then turd up.

Chapter 6: What unexpected pieces of basketball history have been discovered?
Which I don't really still understand. No hemorrhoids, okay. That's awesome. Yes. Pod in the loo tug. Turd up. When I think turds, I don't think up. I mean, as a floater. Turd down for what?
Yeah.
You hear that a lot. Yeah, you hear that one a lot. Turn up. What's something you guys were sure of but had no tangible proof to back the claim? Yeah, I was kind of trying to segue to Trey because my order is reverse. I'll take it here.
My order is literally reverse because when we've been recently talking about the Clippers in any sort of way and Blake Griffin potentially getting the Hall of Fame, I think back and think the Clippers had some success. But I'm wrong. They really didn't. The Lob City Clippers specifically didn't have a lot of success. They got to a second round. Yeah. Multiple times. But that's about it.
So looking back, instead of looking forward in the loo as I listen to this pod, looking back, it's just been seared in my brain because of everything positive that's happened with the Clippers during that run. Essentially, they were... Twitter for a while. They were just so big on Twitter, especially Blake Griffin and their dunks. And so I just thought that Lob City accomplished more.
And I was I was wrong, essentially, about that. But it is in my head that they got further than the second round.

Chapter 7: Which non-star players have star-like names in the NBA?
They got further than beating the Warriors. in the first round when Andrew Bogut got hurt that time and they were playing David Lee at center, or further than beating the Spurs off of their championship in the first round, getting to the second round, they beat the Grizzlies and Marc Gasol. That's all they did. I thought they maybe got to a conference final. But I'm raw. My brain's raw.
The brain is amazing, but my brain is raw.
Yeah, my brain is raw. But yeah, it does feel like when you're just thinking about the eras that the Lob City Clippers accomplished more than the Kawhi Paul George Clippers. But no. Yeah, technically they didn't. Right. Yeah. Yeah, the Kawhi Clippers got to a conference final. You could say, hey, the Clippers did it for a longer time. Like, we're together for a longer time.
I mean, they played six and a half years, I guess, together. While Kawhi and Paul George didn't play that long together. But... Yeah, not a lot of success. They didn't get to a conference finals. Right. Period. What do you got here, TK? In 2014, the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets played a game where they all wore nicknames on the back of their jerseys.
This included Ray Allen, who wore Jay Shuttlesworth.
Right.
And I was convinced it was because Spike Lee was going to be using this footage to make a He Got Game sequel where Jesus Shuttlesworth gets to the NBA and has to compete against all these players. Wow. Hmm. No news on that one yet. No, no. But it's a great idea. It is a good idea, yeah. That's a good way to get LeBron into He Got Game Part 2. He's still got game. Yeah.
I guess is maybe what it would be called. I guess Ray Allen has said he's left the door open for the sequel. But Denzel doesn't make a lot of sequels until the Equalizer series came around. And now they've made a couple of them. So I guess the door is still open. Still open. So he would be, I guess, a father to a new up-and-coming player? Jesus Shuttlesworth? Great question.
Like, how would you do this? Yeah, like maybe his son, Jesus Shuttlesworth's son, and he's like telling about his time through big state and making it to the NBA. He's like, yeah, check out this footage. It's him. Playing with macy. Yeah, yeah going against birdman or playing with birdman all this kind of stuff.
