0:00.0	On today's pod, MB, Hurt, Controversy, Being Fair, and the 65 game threshold rule.
0:19.0	We've got Chandler Parsons on the Clippers in the West, O.K.C. or Minnesota,
0:24.0	Janeland Brunson's run and where he is with the point guards
0:26.5	and some cool stories as well and life advice. I'm going to start today's show talking about Joe LMB and everything around it.
0:40.8	If you watch last night's game against the warriors it was
0:43.6	ugly. played 30 minutes. He was 5 18 14 points, 2 free throw attempts, 5 fouls.
0:51.2	No Tyreuse Maxi. So the Warriors get a win, which they desperately need. But when I say it looked awful, it looked awful because indeed was hurt. It was clearly hurt. There's a couple plays there late where Dremon Green was diving for a loose ball I thought was questionable at best the angle on the dive looked like he was trying to dive in it's almost this box out that we see with players
1:09.6	where they're diving for the loose ball, but they're really actually
1:15.3	Going at the other player to impede them. If you're a Warriors fan saying that that's just hard play from Dramon that's who he is and it's not questionable,
1:19.6	I'd ask, did you feel the same way when Marcus Smart dove in his Steph's legs in March of 22?
1:24.7	Probably not. I thought that was a dirty play too. Nothing dirtier this year than the
1:29.5	Chris Paul dive in a Connolly. That was awful. I know that's my guy, but that was that was bad. So when I
1:39.4	watched this game play out and of the fourth quarter. I couldn't help it like
1:45.0	a game of 404 of the fourth quarter. I couldn't help but like think about everything that we talked about in the last week with
1:56.9	indeed specifically him sitting out the Denver game so that game was the ABC game is the marquee game on Saturday.
2:05.0	It was earlier in the day. I had been thinking about it all week. I started my
2:08.9	Saturday being like, all right, like a lot of you that are super into it, right?
2:13.0	That's what I want to do this weekend.
2:15.2	Great, I want to watch the football too,
2:16.4	but my Saturday, it was a beautiful day out here
2:19.1	and I'm like, okay, like I don't care.
2:21.0	I'm not watching this on tape, I want to watch this live. I want to see him bead play in Denver for the first time since 2019 and then minutes before we find out that he's not going to be active for the game.
