Speaker 2 (00:22):
How is around the sports KT quints as.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All the sports.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yes, loss last night in Utah in overtime and Cooper
Flag had forty two points though, so I mean that's
the plus side, but it was a tough loss.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You know, He's no other eighteen year old's ever done that.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, it's incredible.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I saw that. I mean he's racking up all.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Sorts of records and stuff, and they always show Lebron,
you know, because he's basically right behind Lebron in most
points or most games with over twenty that in your
year eighteen season. And he's still got two more game
before he's nineteen, right, I think he turns nineteen Sunday,
So yeah, they played Detroit, and then who do.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
They play on Saturday? Philadelphia? I think maybe.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Man, he is so much fun to watch. He's growing
right before our eyes, getting more and more comfortable. But
he is fearless at attacking the basket. He attacks the basket.
Everything looks downhill. He's so long and quick and athletic.
People are reaching for the ball, they can't even get
close to it, and he can just rise. He's got
(01:27):
so much athleticism, and he can finish with either hand.
He is He gets tough buckets, and there's points in
the game where the Mavericks just come down the floor
and dump the ball even in the clutch, to an
eighteen year old kid, and say go score the games
on the line, and he does.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, it's a last night was a really disappointing loss
because of the circumstances, and he was really good. And
after the game, man, he was really disappointed. He was
thinking about his late game turnovers and I like all that.
I want that stuff to just stay with him. And honestly,
you know, I know, Jay Kid got killed for what
he did earlier in the year, but a lot of
(02:06):
people feel like that's really paying off for him.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, I know personally right now, I killed him for it. It
was tough to watch. It seemed unfair to him. But
it's hard to say that's not helping him now. It
certainly hurt helped the Greek Freak. I think the difference
here is that the Mavericks had high expectations and they
got off to such a horrible start. Every little thing
is magnified, and that was painful to watch.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
He had a horrible offense.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You're gonna probably lose when Ad doesn't play, and he's
not gonna play very much.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's just that's the biggest problem that the Luca trade.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
They got six years older and they got a guy
who just never plays, So you know, it is what
it is. It's another new injury for him. When he's healthy,
one of the best players on the planet, and if
he's on this team, even with Kai out, they have
a shot against almost anybody. But I thought, I just
can't ever count on him to be there.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I thought that was the main takeaway from last night
is you know, an Anthony Davis plays, there's so much
space for you, especially when you have cutters going through
with lanes opening up and things like that. And for
Cooper Flagg to go and get all those buckets without
Anthony Davis on the floor.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I thought that was an awesome sign.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And dude, Lauri Markinen has turned in one of the
best players in the league. Really cool story. So Keyanti
George from Baylor. It's his third year and I don't
know if you guys saw what he did last night. Yeah,
and that's coming off of his career high thirty nine
the other night. But this summer, so last year was
a big step back for him and for marketing. So
(03:35):
this summer, this Baylor kid out of Lewisville, he's just
a baby. He flies to Finland on his dime to
go hang out with Lori Markin and then learn more
about him, see what his life is like. They bonded
in a big way and now both of them are
playing through the roof. It's a cool story about a
smart thing that a young kid did. And so those
(03:56):
are two really likable guys. But that's that was a
tough lot.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Last night.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
They had won five or six, they didn't have a
d They were right there and at the end of
the game, you know, it was like a what was
it like a thirteen to three run or whatever. It was,
and the Mavericks had three rookies on the floor right
and just couldn't couldn't stem the tide. I couldn't believe
they got it in overtime, it still lost. I don't
know if this is true, but somebody told me this.
(04:21):
I don't know if you can look into this and
see if this is true.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Somebody told me that at home games, a couple of
hours before the game, at four o'clock or something, that
they shut the security shuts off the arena to where
no one else can go in there. This sounds fake,
but they block off so no one can peek in
and watch, and they clear everyone out of there, and
Ki Kyrie works out.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Kyrie goes real early. Okay, he does go super early.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
They don't want I heard. This is what I was
told that they don't want anyone watching and seeing what
he's doing, and they like security ushers you out of
the area and you're not allowed to be there, and
he just has the court to himself and is putting
in work.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh cool, I mean you know that that could be.
But I when he was healthy, he was and they're
super early and doing stuff. But yeah, they're back at
it on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Against the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
All right, coming up next, let's celebrate the birthday of
