 What's the worry y'all welcome back to another recap episode ladies and gentlemen We had a nine game slate and though I didn't watch all nine like literally as I'm recording this the Phoenix Suns are playing over here They are by 20 and a half time I don't really have anything to say about that So we just go talk about all the other things we saw leave it like subscribe But let's get into today's sponsor and y'all know the sponsor is of course prize picks They've been a percentage sponsor of this channel for the entire season Be sure to hit that link in the description down at the prize picks app and use code Because you're matching up to a hundred dollar deposit for all new players price week has been one of the most exciting things about this NBA season Because it's me versus the numbers. So since we had nine games on today I was heavily invested so I put together two different lineups Let me show you how they did five pick flex play Jay shantae hit is over on the sis recent is over on the sis Jared Allen hit is over on points grace and Matthews over on points and he killed it And Jair Vanderbilt was just two rebounds away from getting over but since this was a flex play I only needed four things to hit so I was in the green number two another flex play Kevin Durant assists over Chris Middleton needed one more sis for it for this to be a perfect five for five But Freddie Kirsten Lever in dear Fox all came through for me today again It's just you versus the numbers But you do have help you can join a discord server with all the other people that are playing prize picks and they throw picks They help you put together the perfect lineup for yourself And I really really recommend all y'all to hit that link in the description download the app and use code Kenny because again they're matching up to a hundred dollar deposit for all new players It's so many people in the Kenny for real universe that are already tweeting at me their pics and their hits and everything just join in I think I want to start today's episode talking about the Dallas Mavericks because if you didn't know they went into Indiana and lost To the Pacers shots of the Pacers they decided they want to blow things up and they lost the game since it's kind of crazy I things like that can work care subvert names and trade rumors and he's been killing I showed you my prize picks I took the over and he hit that 26 points I love the transparency that we're getting from Miles Turner and his interviews earlier He was talking about how he wants to be more than just sit in the corner He loves the monster bonus, but he believes in himself He believes they could be better a bigger role in different places which I respect and today He kind of showcased some of the 17 points 10 rebounds He did more than just shoot threes which is good for him and ended up winning the game shout out to him But I really want to focus on the Dallas Mavericks and their struggle so far this season man This is a team that was just in the playoffs that was taking um The clippers to a long series With poor zingas going down an injury like this is a team that had pretty decent expectations coming into the season And so far they have been well under them Now some people did see this coming because they didn't make any change to the roster no significant change to the roster at me I did see this coming but it started off the season 12 and 13 and very early on in the season We were talking about how they're one of the worst good teams in the league They beat up on the bad teams but once they go against real competition they struggle today They could not shoot the ball and that's just not a today thing like we got more cubing going on to twitter You know make it tweets about the change in the ball or how much that's impacting this players in and having them shoot so terrible Today these boys shot 13.8 percent from three 13.8 percent from three is ridiculous Eli Kenny that's a one-time occurrence teams have bad nights It's not a one-time occurrence for the Dallas Mavericks this the other day on national tv against the brooklyn Nets they shot 19 percent from three this happens over and over and over for them And there's been a lot of criticism from for lucadonches this season Right came into this year out of shape and we're accorded the way through the season He still doesn't like you play Lee himself even late in his game He twisted his ankle and I don't know what the heck is going on with that because he just came back from an ankle thing But him being out of shape And him coming in bigger than what he normally is is not the sole reason why the Dallas Mavericks are bad right now I look at this roster and I try to think to myself What could they do To continue to build around what might be a generational player lucadonches for him to get a championship And they don't have draft picks left. They don't have any draft picks left They don't have a ton of assets to go in buy in I don't know what the Dallas Mavericks do from this point on to get to a championship quality team in a year or two Down the line. I don't know what I don't know what it is And again when you have a player like luka who might be generation will show that he could be generational You want to be able to build a team around him? I know he is still young and he just signed an extension But you still want to continue to put pieces around him for them to be successful And right now you're you're seeing that the pieces around him aren't good Reggie bullock played 20 minutes didn't hit a shot And that's kind of been a consensus for reggie bullock this entire season He ain't been able to hit nothing during fitty smith though. He only had four points today. He has been your best shooter That's a problem and I like door fitty smith. He's a solid really good ropel I would love to have him in chicago looky, but he should never be the best shooter on the court ever That's a problem that they're dealing with and I don't know what the solution is All right, let's talk about number two game number two of the day for me was the cavaliers beating the minnesota timmills This was basically a 30 point win. I don't care what the final box score says This was a 30 pointer where they pulled the start is pretty early on jared Now all you had to play 26 minutes every mobility 24 lorry market at 21 This was a legit blowout blowout, but I guess the third stringers of the minnesota timmills are go to and they made this look respectable It was not this is a very very bad loss for the minnesota timmills So you like kitty why are you talking about this 30 point win? But I just saw something on red before I hear record that it's incredible That maybe really want to talk about the calves more y'all know I've been backing the calves all season long and I think in the video where I was talking about every single team For a minute that was like a few weeks ago The calves were in a rut colin sexin had just got announced he was done for the season Every mobily had held hurt his elbow and they were starting to slide I think at one point they got to like a five game loser streak But since evan mobily has been back in the lineup they have been incredible They are 15 and eight when mobily is in the lineup That is a rookie caliber player And we already legitimately have a conversation trying to figure out If evan mobily deserves to be an all defensive player and he has a real life He has a real life case to be an all defensive player as a rookie And all the other players that have made an all defensive team as a rookie Let me read you these five players that have done it so far David Robinson Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Tim Duncan Hakeem Elijah want a manubo who is a kind of an ally but you know manubo blocked every shot he ever seen so But the four out of these five dudes are legendary players now, of course, we're jumping a gun I think last episode we made a joke about evan mobily being generational regardless This team is not just a team that you look at. Oh the young core They're gonna be good in a couple years. These guys are good right now Kevin Love in just a season's time went from a dude that was turning the ball over on purpose because he was frustrated To being able to come off the bench and play his role He wasn't minnesota today So I kind of expected him out of the game and he did off the bench because that's where it started off Minnesota But the calves again are a team that I really really enjoyed watching I ain't even mentioning a derrius garland and I could have made seven tweets today about derrius garland in his one hand It passes as aliou's or his logo three that he hit and it's a real conversation trying to figure out Which one of the two players between jared allen and and derrius garland deserve to be an all star this year because the way They're playing right now in my mind. They they they should get an all star. It might be j a or it might be Derrius garland. I don't really know that just felt weird to say do people call him j a i'm not gonna do that That's that that's j a just doesn't know is it going to be the frail Or derrius garland that's better. All right, man. Let's talk about this hornets keem's game I immediately knew this game was not going to have us a lick of defense It was the opposite of the type of game that I normally like but since I like diarra reaches the homie And then myos bridges a kelly uber or fun to watch. I was like, you know, I'm here for I'm here for a game with no defense and this was a game with no defense y'all Um diarra fox was eight for eight from the free, you know, let's actually let's take it Let's take a huge step back my fault. I'm jumping a gun a little bit the martin brothers The martin brothers I made a tweet how they're climbing up the ranks of the best, um Brothers in the nba and when I tweeted that people were giving me their rankings and I forget there are so many brothers in nba So maybe they like the the ninth best duo of brothers in nba, which is still good I mean calip had I think it was calip had his career high against the bucks the other night And then today kody had his career high of 19 and so you had to play Kody marty gets it down low He gets fouled and goes up in my mind and everybody else is minding the arena It's an one I need to see that last two minute report because I don't know how you can say he wasn't in the Art of shooting or the actor shooting but regardless they were in the bonus. He misses one of the free throws He is the second boom He was also a guy that was three for three at the free throw line before that and there's a good three point Shoot a free throw shooter whatever and then right after I tweeted that this man and his brother are Climbing up the ranks. This man does a take foul When they didn't have any more fouls to give Blew the game. He sold the game at that point and deary fox a for a from the free throw line now deary fox Is not a guy that's known to be a 90 3 point shooter or free throw shooter But at that point he was a for eight this season. He's shooting a career high 75 percent from free throw So like he was already a for eight. These are just going to be too easy ones, right? He missed the first I'm like, okay. I guess that makes sense. He's you know, I'm saying he's not 90 percent And then he misses the second And he couldn't do nothing but smile let it bro They were hand at this win and deyara missed the two free throws Super unfortunate super unfortunate deyara the next one against the hawks I don't have much to say about this other than kevin rand is so fun to watch and great Trey young was great in this one and then kevin direct got switched on to him And they were like, you know what kevin you guard tray and you get it to his head You hug him a little bit and whatever people do when they're mad at each other, but they show love after the game So I guess they were mad um Completely neutralized tray young for the last couple minutes of the game Him or kevin rand and nicholas collapse to playing great defense on tray young and then you hit a couple big shots I think it was even kindred perk is that went up to twitter is like, hey, man Y'all not showing kevin rand enough love for defensive player of the year I wouldn't go that far I definitely wouldn't go that far But he is a definitely a good defender at this point in his career, obviously And he's selling his prime, which is crazy to say another player selling this prime lebron james 33 6 and 5 There's a staff from stat muse lebron james just played 15 games of season He has scored 30 plus points and almost half of them. He turns 37 this week Um, yeah, enjoy basketball y'all and and I know that lebron james has a lot of people that don't enjoy his game Or don't like him as a person regardless He's 37 years old. He's still putting up great numbers and still fun to watch Just enjoy it while you can if you want to hate him after words do that But just I mean it's great basketball at the end of the day I was so close to making a hit piece on the lakers after yesterday's loss And I was waiting. I'm like, you know what if they lose to the thunder again I'm ready to go all in anti lakers narratives and stuff, but they won today. So we're gonna have to hold out on that Yeah, people gonna take that way too serious the nicks lost to the rafters and it is the same old story every time You watch the nicks they start off a quarter terrible And I even made a tweet how horrendous they were at one point It was like 30 to 10 in the first quarter And then the second unit comes in and makes it a little bit better Then they fall all the way back to this game and at one point they hit the lead But then they get down to stretch and they forget how to play basketball and they can't get a rebound And they lose the game gary trip big old shots fray van vleet double double scotty barns with another double double This is what he do 15 rebounds this time and he realized it was 15 12 and 15 from scotty, but the nicks are um The nicks should be looking to make moves Is that weird to say alec burks didn't even realize he played 36 minutes hit a free throw One of them the nicks should definitely be looking to make some moves. Um, December 15th There was even a report from woach about a team or Group of teams that are looking at been cementing there might be a trade on the table immediately as December 15th When everybody's available to get traded I'm not saying that the nicks are the team or whatever But the nicks need to be making some moves because obviously this team doesn't have the same exact feel from last year That made everybody fall in love with them and shout out to the to the Rockets, man I legit thought that the bucks would go in and kind of blow them boys out and it wasn't a blowout It took all of yannis's powers 41 17 5 2 blocks 3 steals 5 Oh my god, he was just incredible tonight Um, it took all of his powers and chris middle to hit a couple clutch shots to put away Um, the hottest team in the league gary burr was still hitting the shots You got christian wood playing solid sin going off the bench doing big man moves against bobby portas But yannis is a different beast, bro Yannis is just a different beast when he wants to score There's not many people in the league that can stop him from doing that thing I guess pj tuckers on that list now because the other night against the heat that yannis struggled But there's not many people that can stop yannis when he wants to score And he wanted to score a lot, especially in that fourth quarter Then I saw that the suns didn't have deandre aiden of course. Devon booker was still out And I was not invested at all so my apologies and the other game I wasn't invested in was the pistons versus the pelicans I'm sorry I couldn't get myself to watch that game while the other games are going on You know what I'm saying like if I got a close game somewhere else of teams that I actually enjoy watching I'm going to watch that over two teams that I don't necessarily enjoy watching so my apologies. You know what I'm saying?
