Hey you.

What's up?

Do you want one sushi roll or double it and give it to the next person?

Ah, double it, give it to the next person.

All right, doubling it.

Now we gotta find our next person.

Hey!

Ah!

Woo!

Good morning, sweet world!

And welcome to the NoDunks podcast on the Athletic Network. It's Monday, February 24th, 2025. I'm Jay Skeets here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, as always, Tassmellis. Podcast listeners, this was for you. Next to him, it's the bearded one. Matapsia hot boy, Trey Kirby. Hey, yo. And over yonder, making the magic happen. He hates the Goonies. It's JD. Spoiler alert. Yes, I hate the Goonies. Yeah, sorry, I did just spoil. Is This Bad over on the Is This Good podcast feed, talking about the Goonies. A timely movie. Well, it's the 40th anniversary. It was just re-released. Oh, they brought it back to theaters. Oh, wow. So you're not going? No. I own it, unfortunately. Oh, right? Go return it to the theater. Damn. Show this. Exactly.

Here's my Apple TV. Take it. What that cost you to buy it? $5. I bought a year's ago. It was like kids were looking for something to watch. I'm like, uh, people like this movie. Yeah. Put it on. Left the room. Because I, too much yelling. It's all yelling. It's a lot of yelling. Sure, sure.

All right.

Well, go check out that podcast feed

is this good with Maddie O. Jady and Rachel talking about the Goonies, but we're talking about basketball here. NBA weekend winners and losers. We got a bunch of winners. We'll get to the losers later on. TK., you get us started. Who's your big winner from the NBA weekend? I didn't even want to pick them, Skeets. I hate this. When they lose, we don't talk about them. But when they win, they're always winners of the weekend. The Los Angeles Lakers. I got to admit I was impressed Saturday night. They went into Denver, snapped the Nuggets nine-game streak with a blowout. Their first win in Denver

since April of 2022, Luca Donchich had his best game as a Laker, 32 points, 10 rebounds, seven

assists. J.J. Reddick said, go yell at yourself. Be a demon out there. And he did, man. He was

yelling at himself at the end of the first half. So great coaching by JJ there.

LeBron had 25 in this one. He's getting the easiest baskets he has. And I don't know, a decade probably. Luca throwing him open. You never see that with LeBron. Like there are times when LeBron's just kind of chilling. Luca throws a pass. It forces LeBron to cut and it's a dunk. He said I'm a natural court or Luke is a natural quarterback.

I'm a natural wide receiver.

Hey. It forces LeBron to cut and it's a dunk. He said I'm a natural court or Luke is a natural quarterback. I'm a natural wide receiver. Hey, it's working nice. Reeves had 23. Rui Hachamura had 21 as well. The offense was great. But it was the defense that was honestly more impressive. JJ Redick came to this game with a playoff level game plan. He said he didn't sleep for two nights putting it together, and it worked. They fronted Nikola Yokic, basically the entire time, super physical with him, picking them up, basically half court every time down the floor. A second guy would come from the baseline. He saw a ton of crowds. Yokic did high hands from the Lakers. Super duper physical.

They were baffling and jocelyn him around.
