Chapter 2: How do the Clippers' recent performances impact their playoff chances?
You know, getting there, getting there. Okay. Okay. All right. What's a cold snap without a cold? Yeah, I was thinking that. I was like, is that a good time to get sick when it's like the coldest we've had in a long time here in Atlanta or the worst time? I was really debating. I wasn't sure. Let us know. Get the poll going. Okay. Yeah. Thanks for joining us live on YouTube.
Sorry for starting a little bit later than normal here. Hit the like button. Subscribe. Podcast listeners, it's not starting late to you. Five-star ratings and reviews. And we did it. We found another certified classic. With help. That's pretty cool. From Reddit. Our fans on NoDunks at Reddit found the show and love music video that we recorded in 2009. Show and love to every team in the NBA.
And we posted it on our YouTube page. So podcast listeners, come on over. Make sure you subscribe too while you're here. And check out this banger. It still slaps. And it's pretty funny. It's still good. It could be good in 2026. Yeah, it holds up. Of course. I mean, that's classic music right there. It's timeless. The start of it is amazing. Just task one. Oh, yeah.
With a little piano coming in, it makes me laugh every time. So go check that out. We're on a hell of a run with the certified classics right now. We had the Like a Bosch, Andrea Bargnani, 2012 All-Star Campaign video, and now Show and Love. What's next? Sounds like we got to get back in the studio and start recording some tracks.
I think you're right, TK.
We don't sing enough these days. You're right. We're too busy tracking wedgies. That's right. Because they keep coming fast and furious. Wedgie 38 and 39 last night, both block wedgies, and they almost happened at the exact same time. First one in Chicago, Jackson Hayes with an emphatic chase down from behind block wedgie on Josh Giddey.
And like legit, I don't know, like 60 seconds later, maybe a minute or two later, Robert Williams III blocking Jordan Walsh. He also fouled him. But it stuck there long enough, according to Baby Bird Eagle. So we're counting it. Baby Bird Eagle. Baby Bird, Noah Eagle. That Jackson Hayes block was phenomenal.
Oh yeah, that was awesome.
It looked like Giddy just set it next to the rim so that Jackson Hayes could wedge it in for him. I agree. I said, I tweeted last night, I'm going to be scoring that one quite high when it comes to ranking all the wedgies on Substack. No doubt. That's a good one. I was surprised. Take it to the other one.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Luka Doncic's MVP case?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
We'll see what they do if they do anything. It's hard for them to do anything. They traded everything for Desmond Bain, and it hasn't worked. They didn't change anything. They're like, Desmond Bain, you're KCP for us. And KCP had a down season when he was there for the Magic.
But at least he played defense.
At least he played defense. I don't know. They just need an offensive coordinator. Because, like, literally just compare them to the Raptors. They move the ball like crazy. Guys are cutting everywhere. Compare them to the Charlotte Hornets. They play fast. They've got a lot of movement on the weak side when Lomelo's doing something up at the top. The Magic, it's like, can you score one-on-one?
Or can you draw people and maybe hit a wide-open three-pointer? That's the only question, or, like, that's the only strategy they have offensively. So, yeah, they need somebody who has ideas on the offensive end, it feels like to me.

Chapter 4: How is the Orlando Magic's performance analyzed?
He was in San Antonio, so you've got to assume somebody from the squad is going to at least compete again. So we'll see. Number one guy I want in the dunk contest this year, Bronny James. Interesting. Interesting. I saw him do an East Bay recently. Him and LeBron going back-to-back, father and son going between the legs. They're in L.A. ?
I mean, he's like, similar to Mac McClung, he is on the edge of G League and NBA. He's a good athlete. This could be like a good, people have always wanted to see LeBron James in the dunk contest. Wow. Let's give it to him. LeBron James Jr. But still. You know.
Sign off, man. That's how they sell it.
LeBron James in the dunk on his little, tiny little junior. Michael B. Jordan. Yeah, the old LeBron will probably, he'll give him some passes, that's for sure. He'll be there. Sure. That's a good one. I like the idea of trying to get some small guys in there, some shorter guys to take over Mack McClung. I think Malik Monk should do it. I know he's older.
Malik Monk, wow. He's older. Nice. He's a great dunker.
He's a great dunker. It looks cool when he dunks. Yeah. All right, next one here. Trey mentioned this on Monday's pod. Rich Homie Flom, a blogger who covers the LA Clippers. He wrote on X a few weeks ago, if the Clippers go 15-3 in any stretch this season, I will print and eat this tweet. Well, the Clippers have gone 15-3 since, and true to his word,
Flom printed the tweet and ate it on the podcast last night. That was just a short clip of a guy taking a piece of paper and putting it in his mouth and swallowing it. But it was a longer show. He spaced it out over the length of the show. Yeah, it was like 30 minutes plus him taking down pieces of paper. So I'll start with you, Tass. Up or down on Rich Homie Flom eating his Clippers tweet?
Absolutely up. Respect to rich homie flom for doing it eating an 8 by 11 piece of paper It sounds like if he ate it for 35 minutes. I only watched the clip. I only tuned in he has a podcast But I didn't watch all 35. I thought He's eating it.
He ripped some off and he ate it, but it sounds like he ate a whole piece I don't know if it was the entire sheet, but it was a good part of the tweet Like have you printed it off and then maybe cut it out? Yeah, I don't think it was the whole whole sheet. I'm up on it because he didn't put it in a mixer. He didn't make it part of a drink as I know. I love the shrug after eating it.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Benny the Bull changing his uniform number to 99?
Yeah, it's aspirational Final one we had some breaking news at halftime in Chicago last night with Derrick Rose's jersey being retired over the weekend Benny the Bull has officially changed his uniform from number one to number 99 Trey, up or down on Benny the Bull changing his uni to number 99? I hate to say it. I'm down. Yes.
Yes.
Why? He wore it first. Yes. He's a Hall of Famer. He's a Hall of Famer. They should have retired it for both of them. And I also think 99 is a really weird choice. I agree. 66 for the year it started. That would have made sense. Okay. Would look weird on a basketball uniform. Six for six titles. Ooh. 96 for the 72 and 10 team. Like, I think there are other choices. Zero even, maybe?
Yeah, I mean, Kobe White is wearing it, so maybe that's a little weird. Right, right. But I think he should have kept one.
Chapter 6: What is the significance of the Rising Stars teams announcement?
He's not a player. Yeah. You can wear it. Yeah. You're down on this. I mean, it doesn't look right. I'm with you. I don't like it. I don't like my buddy the Bull in 99. You're right, and he did it first. I was watching in the first quarter. There was a break in play, and they teased this. They had a little blanket over or whatever, a cover over it, and they said, all right, here we are.
Chapter 7: How did the hosts decide on their draft picks for the Rising Stars?
We're going to reveal the number that Bull is going to wear. Here he goes. Here we go. Five, four, three, two, one. Wait till halftime. They uncovered it and said wait till halftime. Yeah, they got me too. I was waiting for it. I was waiting for a number. But, yeah, Benny has been there longer than Derrick Rose. Oh, forever, yeah. Yeah, as Todd said, Todd was on the mic.
The in-game arena guy, he said he's been there for, what, 20, 20 something, 24 or something. Yeah, I think 2004 is when they came out with this version of Benny. Yeah, but it's not the same person inside. So you kind of lied to us, Todd. Either way. Yeah, the one is better.
Chapter 8: What are the standout performances expected in the Rising Stars tournament?
It's almost like, I sort of like him still rocking the one because then you're reminded of Derrick Rose even more. Exactly. Yeah. There was quite a bit of backlash to this. So I wonder if they'll actually go back to one. 99's not working. Did they give a reason for 99? Oh. Because Trey brings up a good point. Something. Six for the titles. I think Benny the Bull loves hockey.
No, I don't think they did but unless I missed it They just like a number that nobody would wear. I guess they're like okay. I've had a lot of guys in the 90s Drew Gooden wore 90 Rodman. Rodman wore 91. I think that's it. Is that it? Yeah. Speaking of hockey, you know how a broadcaster gets all the assignments of saying things about the opposing team?
Eric Collins of the Hornets said something about Quentin Grimes of the 76ers. I didn't know that his brother plays in the NHL. I didn't know that either. And that's the first brothers, first pair of brothers that has played in the NBA and the NHL. Period. Full stop. Huh. Now we've had a father-son. It's his name is Tyler Myers. They share the same mom. And that's it.
Tyler Myers played in the NHL for a long time. He's still playing. Who does he play for? I think he plays for the Canucks. Oh, yeah. Up north. Tyler Myers. Tyler Myers. All right, that's the Uptown Report. Let's hear from you guys in the stream team and you podcast listeners up or down, especially on that last one.
Do you have strong opinions about Benny the Bull changing his uniform number to 99? We're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to draft the Rising Stars teams.
