 What's the word y'all walk back to call game Kenny Frill whatever you want to call it I cannot believe we saw one of the greatest performances of all time And I am not exaggerated when I say that one of the greatest performances of all time was today and it was by an Undrafted player Listen, I think it was Shams that tweeted that Fred Van Vleet putting up 54 today passes the record held by Moses Malone For the most point score by an undrafted NBA player now raise your hand if you knew that most Malone was undrafted You're better than I am because I had no Moses Malone was an undrafted player the more you know the more you know We have to start off talking about Fred Van Vleet in this in this game And they beat up on the Orlando Magic game who are still fighting injury stuff We'll talk about them in a little bit But this game right here was so so very special man When I'm when I'm telling you this is one of the greatest regular season performances ever I am not exaggerating some of y'all may understand the idea of game score Something that was created on back I don't actually I don't know if it was created on basketball reference But that's why I found it where it takes into consideration the amount of points you score assist rebounds all the accounting stats Your efficiency and all of that and it gives you a final score the higher the score Obviously the better the performance and I was doing something on twitch last year While I was trying to go through every single great performance in NBA history and just watch it Fred Van Vleet after this game has a I think it was the 22nd greatest regular season performance in the history of basketball Can you believe today on this random Tuesday? We just saw history This man put a 54 point shot 74 percent from the field hit 11 threes on 78 percent Also racked up three blocks also racked up three stills and ultimately got the w Ridiculous and if you watch how we did I recommend going back to watch this game for anybody And if you can just get to the highlights get to the highlights man Because some of the shots he was hitting wasn't just open shots in the corner open shots on this man Was hitting Steph Curry range threes he was hitting it off the dribble and then it got to the point And and this is my favorite part about this performance at the end. I don't know if he was whispering to evan fornie He was like bro. I'm four off, bro I'm four off. Can you just let this slide the man cut back door? You thought evan fornie was playing for the toronto raptors because he did not react whatsoever It happened two times for him to get that 54 and I was thinking about it like this If I was on the opposing team if I was a part of the Orlando magic Would I want to see or allow him to get that last four? Or would I be sending every defender we have to prevent history being put on us? You know what i'm saying? Fred Van Vleet is such a nice guy that maybe i'm like freddy You torched us all game take that easy four. I don't really know. I don't really know But this is crazy coincidence because today on my podcast me and my homies were talking We were talking about Cal Laury as a free agent because if you didn't know he'll be a free agent this off season And and somehow we got into the conversation of Fred Van Vleet because he signed his big old contract In the in the off season and I just posed a question like has Fred Van Vleet lived up to the contract through the first month of the season? And I think that most of us are like No, not really And I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that the toronto raptors at this point is still underperforming If he was still putting up the same I think it was 18 points per game before tonight That's going to jump up If he's putting up the same 18 points on decent efficiency We'd probably like yeah, he's living up to the contract if they were winning But the fact that they weren't winning um kind of hurts that but him coming out here putting up 54 is It's so ridiculous because in the beginning of this game It was starting to look really bad because I think The Orlando magic came out on like an 11-0 run Pascal had missed like his first three shots and they were looking for somebody to pick it up And then Fred Van Vleet actually scored the first bucket for them in this game And then he did not stop He did not stop whatsoever And it was an overall amazing amazing performance one for the ages man to hit 11 threes on 14 attempts is mind blowing And and what makes it so special is it wasn't just an offensive performance He ended with three blocks at six foot basically three steals And and I think um one of the homies because you know we do these things We watch in the games together all over discord or in the xbox party we're able to call it And one of the homies was like imagine if he was six six If Fred Van Vleet was six six with the way he plays defense right now at six foot in the way He scores right now at six foot. He'd be one of the best players in the league He'd be like an all-star caliber player just just by adding a couple inches to his height So amazing performance by him And this is a step in the right direction I think I say this every time the Toronto Raptors win because I think we all know The Toronto Raptors aren't as bad as the way they started this season not even close to as bad They started this season They're just trying to get it going and now they're sitting at 9 and 12 9c baby they be in a playing right now a lot of basketball left Um, let me talk about the Orlando Magic for a quick second. This is another game We found out that Aaron Gordon is going to be out for a significant amount of time They can't catch a break with the injuries But this might be a blessing in disguise Because from everything I've read and everything I heard the 2021 draft classes as stacked as I don't know when Um, and this this is a team that could definitely benefit from having a top five pick for sure And while you're at it, I know you got an inclusive itch But I would love to see more mobamba minutes Now I am in a camp of having a player earn his minutes and not just giving it to him because of something But it's like y'all wasted such a high pick on him Him getting what three minutes late in the fourth quarter when they were already down by a lot seems a bit Sense a bit bad right and from my understanding. He's fully healthy now. You know, I'm saying he should maybe begin more minutes But I know uh, Steve Clifford is I want to win right now coach when in reality They should probably be doing a little they should be giving mobamba Chumo kiki and co anthony all the rad in the world because that's that's their core right now Until they end up with this top pick because the way the injuries are going Them boys are hitting that lottery and maybe they hit big you never really know next game might be Um, the game of the year you ask jamal crawford jamal crawford asked on twitter Is it the game of the year and it might be it was the clippers losing to the the uh, Brooklyn nets today first of all they had the basquiat jerseys in the basquiat court It's just a beautiful match the court is even better than the jerseys. I like the jerseys But the court to see beautiful and this had this is game of the year Potential the way it was back and forth back and forth and it kind of was a chess match There's one of the first times of season that I can say I felt like steve um, steve nash Almost says steve kerr steve nash was out there really really coaching and playing chess. It was beautiful I mean the first of all they start off like dj you're coming off the bench for us We're actually going to start off the game with our small ball lineup Jeff green getting that center position and and it didn't hurt them as much as you would expect right You would expect them to get killed on the glass and and though I think they did get a rebound in this game I don't know how many of those offensive rebounds turn to second chance points And that's really what it's all about they they held their own on the glass again They they get outboarded, but it wasn't like by a dramatic amount and believe it or not What what was the real key to me this game? Of course, it was the fact that kairi urban hit so many shots kevin arant was shot 11 for 13 but james hartam I don't see a world right now where james hartam doesn't lead the league and assist this season There's no reason for him not to with the amount of weapons as the team has offensively There's no reason from not to but the thing that that really helped them out this game is there was a period of time where like Paul george are struggling and they were trying to give kawai the ball because kawai is like a mismatch nightmare for a lot of people And they were trying to give kawai the ball in the place that he loves it Which is like Back to the basket kind of like at the elbow sometimes at the block and james hartam was the guy guarding him Now nba nerds have been talking about this for a couple years now about james hartam being a fire hydra And one of the best post defenders in the league people don't want to accept it because you remember like Four to five years ago. There were so many of these clips on twitter of james hartam Basically just standing still on defense again beat back door He was an absolute terrible defender possibly the worst defender in the league back then But he's a lot better now and a lot of that is in that post defense So when they got to the point where kawai was trying to back him down. He was like, nope Not gonna do it Overall this game james hartam's defense was pretty solid and that's that's very there's very promising for them The thing that makes this team dangerous is not not that not the defense obviously It is the offense where kawai urvin was cooking and cooking and cooking and you know what the the la clippers have great defenders Right, they have kawai lynda. They have paul george. They didn't have patrick beveley tonight Which i think could have helped them potentially win this game um nix batumi still a positive defender They have good perimeter defenders, but it felt like okay whenever kawai got put on kawai after kawai went on on his own personal run He like all right. I guess I got kawai now Here kevin your turn Isn't that crazy No team is going to have enough defenders to guard all three of these dudes on the offense side of the ball If this team could just get the defense together The office is going to be there this this team has the ability to um to to to really outperform A lot of the good teams anything like when you when you think about when the losses they have They have two losses of calves a loss to the wizards a couple days ago But when it comes to them going against like the elite championship quality talent so far this year They've they've won they can do that now. Can they do it in the seven game series when you get adjustments? Things like that. I don't really know But it's very promising to see them be able to do this and and maybe those that watched the game Or maybe those calves game is kind of planned to the competition, but they showed out I mean it's something about national tv for the brooklyn that's I think they're undefeated on national national tv Not in not like the nba tv stuff. They're undefeated still this year And they can they can come out and play man again still worried about the defense a little bit But today was a step in the right direction. It's very promising to see what they did because Would a team have this many elite isolation players? It is impossible to guard at all It just is and you have a night like tonight where it feels like all three of them are on Counted as a ale but for the clippers all they're being said they had the the brooklyn That said all three of their superstars playing amazingly tonight And yet the clippers were still in the fight and that's even with paul george not necessarily shooting the ball well The clipper I told you I wanted to make an entire episode with the clippers like a focal point And I think I still want to do that Um, but they're they're on the process of having this crazy road trip right now five games and seven nights is ridiculous It's it's crazy and they just did this where they held on to one of the most stacked teams in the nba right now We're currently in in the process of seeing The most effective offensive team two years in a row in history So like last year the dallas maverick put up the highest offensive rating of all time Right now the brick and that's on pace to beat that from last year We continue to just level like like get the ball higher and higher on the offensive side of the ball And the clippers held their own against that without having a guy like patrick beveley Without having their bench rotation played that will mook had a good game But like lou williams still ain't really done that lucanar still can't can't really hold himself in the rotation I'm still super super high on the clippers man even after this loss man. This is not a bad loss Sometimes you get bad losses. This was not one of them for the clippers. They should be okay with this They should be I mean nobody wants to lose but this they should be okay with this They got another game I think tomorrow like I said five and seven nights, which is a crazy road trip Um, and then they can get back home and get things going one of the games the game that I did not watch Um this year or this this day was the grizzlies losing to the paces So I don't have many take away from this. Um, but the grizzlies lose this one. I mean, it's okay They were just on like a six game win is great. So I'm I'm guessing they're fine with everything has to end You know what I'm saying? I'm the trailblazer end up getting the win against the watch two wizards in a game where It felt like Gary shrink could not could not miss a shot Like I think and y'all know I'd be doing these beddings His over under on the three pointers were like 3.5 and I took it. I was like he can hit four three today He had that like the first half, bro And I knew that this is going to be a super high scoring game because it is the Portland trailblazer who are missing so many players And it is he watched the wizards who like one of the worst defensive teams in the league And it ended up being that it was a shootout was a dog fight and it was a fun game overall It was a fun game overall. Uh, denim do you have one of his better games with like the full cast? I know that we saw denim do you have a good game when like bradley bill and Russell us we were both out But like playing in the flow of the offense was good today We had more ahead his best game of the NBA season. Um And those are the promise of things when you when you talk about your younger players They end up catching the ale and then it came out today that like again I think I mentioned this on the last episode us fans have been trying to get bradley bill out But he is completely bought into the wash it was which is which is an understandable thing as far as like career goals because there are plenty opportunities and My short career or like I had the opportunity to move to new york I had the opportunity to move to la for work and I was so afraid to I didn't want to move You know what I'm saying sometimes you just find a spot like me in chicago right now And you don't want to move from that spot and he's building a family I ain't even building a family. I can't imagine if I had kids right now I'll be like, okay, we got a we got to uproot and move to another city So he's just going to work in dc every day until further notice The next game was a very interesting one because the jazz were up by 30 and I stopped watching I was keeping an eye on it because the other game the the seltzings and awards was so close and then the They say you live by the three you die by the three and the jazz almost died by the three because the The um detroit pistons went on a huge huge run where the utah jazz couldn't hit Anything and you had another good game from jeremy grank continues to to uh surprise us Josh jackson is such a great story so far this season and he had a little a little maybe weaker to um This season so far where he went like kind of tanked a little bit But now he drops to 22 they couldn't close it out They had a couple couple open looks at the end of it But the jazz I think back donovitz had a big shot at the end and that kind of put him over the hump and back donovitz I think the first time we were talking about them a couple days ago We were talking about the utah jazz I was saying that back donovitz really hasn't found himself yet You know, you still have to 13 points per game not shooting it efficiently since then he's been really good And that is scary that is scary for the rest of the league of back donovitz is now picking it up And they end up getting this win quality win for them. And then the last game Um, the celtics end up getting the win on Wardale, stefan curry and the warriors before we talk about the boss of celtics I want I want to say this to everybody. I want I want everybody to hear me And I got a I got a couple minutes to tell this story when lebron james Went to the miami heat um I absolutely despised him not just because he built the six a big three and Potentially ruined the league. Remember I'm at this point. I'm probably 13 14. So I'm a teenager Um, but because he destroyed my team night in and night out in the playoffs That's when I realized that regular season doesn't really matter too much because the bulls will always beat the heat In the regular season series, but always lucid them in the playoffs Um, I hated lebron in those hito days and and obviously things have changed significantly system And now I look back on it. Like I wish I didn't hate lebron during those days I feel like I missed out on so much great basketball because I was hate watching him instead of just watching him, right? I'm saying all that to say because I keep seeing people Um from the steff the steffen curry camp And the damia lilor camp go at each other on twitter Who's the best point guard in the league and they hate each other because both of them Both of these fan bases see the other as a competitor You know and and i'm telling everybody that's in those two camps that are arguing every single day between us and not Really enjoying these games. Please cut it out and just enjoy Greatness this is much ctv and if you're not if you're hate watching it You're not getting a full extent of damia lilor of steffen curry because of that You know what i'm saying? I think in my old age of 24 years old. I'm more understanding of just Greatness why it's in front of me. You know what i'm saying? So please please just enjoy greatness I know steffen curry them didn't get the win today But it was it was moments in this game where the man felt literally Unguardable and I would say kemba walker overall did a pretty solid job on him Especially in that second half But it's still steffen curry still has this thing where there is a shot that he's gonna throw up and you just have to Accept that it's going in no matter what you do they end up losing this game And I think they only lose this game because they don't have a center kevaluni ends up spreading this ankle They are already losing james wiseman because of injury So they literally didn't have a center and there was a lot of possessions in this game where the boston seltsie Got second chance points because um trishon thompson or dale tyson's down there get a bunch of boards It was an ugly win for the seltsies because of that like like jaylon brown didn't shoot the ball well You could be walking to shoot the ball well, but they grinded out this game You know win is a win at the end of the day one of my biggest regrets going into the season though Is that I didn't buy more jaylon brown cards I didn't expect this man to take off and be a bona fide all-star. I didn't I knew he's gonna be better I didn't know that better was like guaranteed all-star potential all-star starter So now I wish that I would have bought in more because right now I'm I'm gonna do a lot of more car videos by the way I'm a ps a like 10 of jaylon brown's rookie card. It's like three to five hundred dollars, bro And six months ago. It was not that And I wish I would have bought in this six months ago. So yeah Ugly win for the boston seltsie Fun game overall and that is my slater game. Shout out to freve and valete, man Keep bet on yourself, bro It's something that I live by too when y'all y'all about to see that very very soon in the next month, man I have a trip to la They could potentially change a lot of things and I bet no myself You know what I'm saying appreciate y'all call game
