Summary

Tom Haberstroh, Amin Elhassan and producer Anthony Mayes are clearing the benches in Charlotte for a good ol fashioned brawl that would make Joe Mazzulla jealous. As we approach the All Star break, the tankathon is fully underway. Can the league do anything to stop the inevitable? Truth Teller and newsbreaker extraordinaire Jake Fischer ends his podcast silence by taking us behind the scenes of last week's hectic trade deadline. Jake shares his biggest win, why he doesn't waste time with graphics, his rom com approach to seeking info and some hints to the ones that got away. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Illuminati YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Basketball Illuminati is now part of the Count The Dings Network. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Count The Dings Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the show, get ad free episodes and exclusive content at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/countthedings⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ILLUMINATI MERCH HAS RETURNED⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Check it out here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Basketball Illuminati!

I was so excited when our guy, Tip or Not, put an IG story up of like the bat signal for tip or not once the Charlotte, Detroit, malice at the palace, but in Charlotte happened. I was so excited

0:39.0

because I wanted to see what his breakdown would give us, what revelations he would have. Zach called it

0:43.3

the rectum at the spectrum. I like that. Back, yo, head up. Immediately after the hand of the face,

0:50.4

Miles Bridges into the chest of Duren, followed by a swing from Diabate. Duren

0:54.3

pretty much immediately walks away, like, whatever, man. However, Diabate, not done. He throws down one coach, another one bites the dust, Musa making his way to Duren, and he takes a swipe at him. Duren with a clean side step avoids the contact. You want more? I'd stop. You won't make it back. Concaniple and company doing their best to carry Diabate away. Meanwhile, Miles Bridges' single coverage on the outside, he beats his man off the line, takes a swing at Duren, he swings back. Take that. You take that. Uh-oh. Isaiah Stewart has entered the chat. Beef stew with the stutter step, Bridges goes under, goes for the takedown. It doesn't work. Beef stew, bop, bach, bach, bach, then grabs a fistful of Bridges hair. What's funny, to me, at least, is I noticed the same exact thing that he noticed, which is Mark Lindsay, the NBA official in the corner being alerted that there's another fight going on.

1:44.8

This fan of Norse telling Mark Lindsay, hey man, I think there might be something going on over

1:47.8

there. Oh, oh man, all right. Everybody, everybody, stay calm. Everybody, stay calm. And he's running

1:54.2

and I was cracking up because the other thing that happens in this video, because I'm so nerding out on NBA referees, is there

2:02.9

is an official in this fracas that did nothing. Arms crossed and watched the whole thing go down.

2:10.1

Didn't try to stop anything. Which official wasn't? And I thought, it's got to be a lower level

2:14.8

official because Mark Lindsay's like a crew chief. Yeah. Almost every time that he's out there, he's the crew chief. So it's got to be a lower level official because Mark Lindsay's like a crew chief. Almost every time that he's out there, he's the crew chief. So it's got to be some, you know, new referee. And then I looked closer and he kind of looks like me. And I was like, wait, it's not Jason Goebel because he was doing a Utah game the other night or at Miami. It was John Goebel. Oh, it's always a Goebel. And he was the crew chief.

2:37.0

And I was like, wait a minute. Oh, Gobel is the crew chief. He's the crew chief. Mark Lindsay was the

2:42.2

number two. And so they had two big time referees in this game, one of which was trying to peacemaker

2:48.4

this thing. Hey, we got to put out these fires. And that's not

2:51.4

the John Sina peacemaker. That's someone trying to bring peace to the situation.

2:57.1

Don Gowler. John Goba was having none of it. He was like, I am just chilling over here. I see
