west so now we're going to our regularly 11 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:21,040 scheduled program which will be the weekly recaps so we'll do it that way. 12 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,200 Alright so with that intro said let's get into it shall we? 13 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,760 So we'll start like we always start with our Player of the Week for the east and the west. 14 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:42,800 In the eastern conference it was Paulo Boncaro of the Orlando Magic, his team went 4 and 15 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:52,080 0 guys the Orlando Magic right now are sitting tied for second with the Milwaukee Bucks at 16 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,720 12 and 5 at this recording. 17 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,960 Guys are doing really well so didn't see this coming. 18 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:05,760 Well I saw them improving but I didn't see this but they're playing well guys so Paulo 19 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:12,080 Boncaro again this team went 4 and 0 for the week he averaged about 23 and a half points 20 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,160 per game with 5 and a half rebounds 5 assists and a block as well. 21 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:25,840 The teams they beat Toronto, they beat Denver as well, they beat Boston and they beat Charlotte. 22 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,080 Nonetheless Paulo Boncaro is the Player of the Week for the eastern conference. 23 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,040 In the western conference it was Devin Booker who now looks like he's healthy guys his team 24 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,880 went 4 and 0 for the week and they're tied for third in the west with the Denver Nuggets 25 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,960 at 11 and 6. 26 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:54,320 The teams that Phoenix beat for the week they beat Portland, Golden State, Memphis and in 27 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,760 a tough game they beat my Knicks, beat them by two I was watching that game and Booker 28 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,480 of course hit the game winning shot that's how that goes. 29 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:12,000 And before I go further a quick sidebar shout out to Jennifer and Jasmine of the Knicks 30 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040 Omni Fan group. 31 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,320 This is a group that I've been going to their events and they had one for the season opener 32 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,320 then a few weeks later they had one for Victor Wimbayama's appearance at the garden so I 33 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,560 was at that game and some other events as well so shout out to those ladies they do 34 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:37,720 a magnificent job with that group in fact we have an outing in a couple of weeks and 35 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:44,160 that's to see the Westchester Knicks so shout out to Jennifer and Jasmine the head of the 36 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,000 Knicks Omni Fan group just want to give them a shout out. 37 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:59,040 But back to Devin Booker so he averaged 30.3 points per game nearly 8 assists over 5 rebounds 38 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,720 and a steal in a half so that is your players of the week guys. 39 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,120 Then I want to get to some injury news right quick Jalen Johnson promising young player 40 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:17,720 for the Atlanta Hawks the small forward there he's going to be out 3-4 weeks with a wrist 41 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,440 injury he suffered that in his last game so he's going to be out this will give more of 42 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:32,960 an opportunity for Deondre Hunter who actually relinquished his starting spot to Jalen Johnson 43 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:40,600 because he's been playing so well guys he started in 12 of the first 15 games he's averaging 44 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:52,200 over 14 points per game 7.3 rebounds about 2.5 assists over a steal and a block per game 45 00:04:52,200 --> 00:05:01,680 he's shooting from the field guys over 59% 42.5% from 3 and from the free throw line nearly 46 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,000 76% they're going to miss that production that's for sure but Atlanta they have some 47 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,560 players who can fill the bill in his absence. 48 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:18,320 Chris Dapporzingis for the Boston Celtics he's going to be out and actually reevaluated 49 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,880 for a cash strain that he suffered and they're going to reevaluate him in the weeks time 50 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:34,720 but he's played well for the Celtics nearly 19 points per game 6.7 rebounds 1.7 blocks 51 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:42,760 from the field he's been sensational guys of 54.7% and from the free throw line he's 52 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,240 shooting 80% Chris Dapporzingis of course this is the word you 53 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,920 have with him as far as his injuries go so we'll see what happens in that weeks time. 54 00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:02,240 Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz he's back after missing 7 games with a elbow injury 55 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:09,080 he's back in the fold now and then Lamello Ball of the Charlotte Hornets he was carted 56 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:16,800 off the court with an ankle sprain and this happened in the second quarter of a 130 to 57 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,680 117 loss that they suffered to Dorland Joe Magic. 58 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:28,000 Lamello Ball hopefully it's not serious although it is the same ankle he had surgery on earlier 59 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,480 in the year so we'll wait for the reports and see what happens there. 60 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Now guys that's your injury news. 61 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,960 Now let's talk some NBA N-Season tournament. 62 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:47,960 As of now the way things stand in the east for group A in that division the Indiana Pacers 63 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:56,240 are on top they went 4-0 followed by Cleveland with a 2-1 record and they have one game remaining 64 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:03,240 in the tourney in Ness vs Atlanta at home so they have life I'll tell you how the wild 65 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:11,400 cart shakes out and group B Milwaukee is 3-0 they have one more game to play and that's 66 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:22,040 at Miami also in that division the Knicks are 2-1 and they and Miami is 2-1 as well 67 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:29,840 and they host the Milwaukee Bucks so that's group B and then group C Dorland Joe Magic 68 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:40,320 are 3-1 in a pretty good shape to be honest followed by Boston who has one game left in 69 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:51,000 Ness vs Chicago and the Brooklyn Nets they're 2-1 as well and they have a game left against 70 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,520 Toronto and that's at the Barclays Center. 71 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,600 In terms of the wild cart because here's how it shakes out guys it's the three division 72 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,440 winners and then that wild cart team. 73 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:14,440 As it stands right now the Knicks with the best point differential of the five teams 74 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:23,200 in contention they're on top so basically for the Knicks they win their in against the 75 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Charlotte Hornets so they're pretty much a shoe in depending on them winning and how 76 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:39,640 much they win by then they're followed by Miami I believe the win the point differential 77 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:49,360 for the Knicks is plus 18 and for Miami is plus 12 so basically Miami has to they have 78 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:59,880 to beat Milwaukee when they come to South Beach which is a tall task guys and then followed 79 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:07,840 by Miami is the Brooklyn Nets followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers then followed by the 80 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:15,480 Boston Celtics so as it stands right now the Knicks looks like they have the best shot 81 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:22,720 here provided they beat Charlotte who may be without their star player Lamello Ball let's 82 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:32,760 keep that in mind so all signs pointing towards the Knicks favor so far so that's the East 83 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:41,760 in the West group A in that group the Lakers they went 4-0 so they're in and that's followed 84 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:53,160 by Phoenix who went through and that's followed by Phoenix who went 3-1 then in group B you 85 00:09:53,160 --> 00:10:06,360 have the New Orleans Pelicans with a 3-1 record and that's followed by Houston with a 2-1 86 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:14,520 record they have one game remaining and that's at Dallas and then in group C right now that's 87 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:22,760 up for grabs Sacramento at 3-0 they have one game remaining that's against the Golden State 88 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:32,320 Warriors and they're hosting them followed by Minnesota with a 2-1 record and they host 89 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:40,960 the Oklahoma City Thunder and then Golden State with a 2-1 record going to Sacramento 90 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:49,720 so as it stands right now it looks like it looks like the Lakers and the Pelicans are 91 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:57,560 pretty much a shoe in unless Houston goes crazy with with the point stay score but it seems 92 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:08,880 like Lakers and Pelicans are in group C is the one where things can shift around as it 93 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:19,080 stands for the wild card Phoenix is on top in terms of that followed by Houston and that's 94 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:26,480 followed by Golden State and Minnesota so the way things shake out it looks like Phoenix 95 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:34,680 is pretty much in as the wild card the only way Golden State gets in is if they beat Sacramento 96 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:41,280 so that's where things can get tricky that is your in season tournament look right now 97 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:47,320 in terms of the teams that's going to Vegas and in Vegas there's a quarter final then 98 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:55,320 a semi-final and then a final so we'll see what happens in those games so that is your 99 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:04,000 tournament news guys let's move on to other news Draemon Green we can't leave him alone 100 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:12,360 can we Draemon Green had a press conference I believe it was yesterday in regard to him 101 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:18,840 being away from the team and him coming back to the team now and then that press conference 102 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:26,280 of course they asked him about the suspension and did he have any regrets of which he says 103 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,760 he has no regrets when it comes to protecting the teammate he's always going to venture 104 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,720 on the side of protecting the teammate to which a lot of people say if you're all about 105 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:44,240 protecting the teammate will happen with Jordan pool but I digress so he said he had any regrets 106 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:51,160 and he was pretty much like there was no real accountability for his actions and what he 107 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:58,040 did and how he let down the team and how his absence away from the team happens to coincide 108 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:04,040 with the team struggling there was no accountability there in that regard and this is my problem 109 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:11,240 with Draemon and I said it in my last episode the fact that the team when I say the team 110 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:19,000 I talk about Steve Kerr in that front office there there's no like accountability for this 111 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,720 guy's actions and the stuff he does he says he know he's got to handle things better and 112 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:31,560 so on and so forth but it you just got a sense that if something else pops off I don't think 113 00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:37,800 he'll be able to stop himself I just think that and as I said in the last episode he 114 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:45,280 has an anger problem that he needs to address I say all that to say it seems like yeah I 115 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:52,120 don't think he learned much from this suspension L in the key thing was they can't keep punishing 116 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,480 him for things he's done in the past. 117 00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:02,960 Draemon welcome to planet earth why you think this justice system is the way it is if you 118 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,160 rob a bank you do your time and you get out and then you rob a bank again that's going 119 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,280 to count against that person if you kick a man in the groin if you stomp a person in 120 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:20,240 the chest of course when you put somebody in the headlock they're going to look at you 121 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,800 kicking somebody in the groin you stomping somebody in the chest before this incident 122 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:32,880 that's just the way justice is so this whole idea that they shouldn't look at your past 123 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:39,200 wake up and smell reality Draemon you gotta be nuts if you think things should be that 124 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:46,520 way that's the entitlement I'm talking about guys so when I hear that I'm like yeah I don't 125 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,880 think he learned a thing from this and if something pops off his anger is going to get 126 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,720 the best of him it's just a matter of time so with that said that's all I'm going to 127 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,000 say with that but Draemon you got to deal with your issues man. 128 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,200 Okay that's that for the Draemon stuff hopefully we can talk about his basketball prowess more 129 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:15,040 than his incidents off the court because make no mistake goat state does need him he's very 130 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:22,440 knowledgeable of the game so we can't take that away from him it's just his antics and 131 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:28,360 his inability to deal with his anger that's all I'm going to say on that. 132 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:34,480 Now speaking of the league office the league office did hand him the suspension the league 133 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:43,640 office now is investigating okcs Josh Getty according to NBA spokesperson Mike Bass and 134 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:50,240 this is based off a social media post of Getty with a girl who's believed to be a high school 135 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:58,000 junior it was posted on tiktok and on twitter or x whatever they're calling it these days 136 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:06,560 I said this in the last episode social media is going to be the downfall of society I mean 137 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:13,360 you just post stuff and you don't think this stuff comes back to you it comes back to you 138 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,200 but now both he and his coach Mark Daignal have declined to comment on the situation 139 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:27,760 I guess they want the investigation to go down and to see what the league office finds but 140 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:35,400 here's the question to this what happens if all of this is true and that he is with a 141 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:43,160 underage girl what happens next what's the legal ramifications and let's examine this 142 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:52,240 even further Josh Getty is 21 years old I think he was about 20 at the time of the posting 143 00:16:52,240 --> 00:17:01,160 and I'm not sure what the girl's age was whether she was 14 or 15 here it is this 20 year old 144 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:09,840 is with this 14 15 year old girl I'ma tell you in high school when I was going to school 145 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:16,000 there were girls in our class who dated adults man these guys were like men who have nine 146 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,080 to fives I mean these were adults and they were dating these guys and you know we had 147 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,680 the name belts back in those days they would have the name belt of the guy whoever it is 148 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,400 what have you I know I'm showing my age with all that but that's another story but this 149 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,800 is how things went back then and no one bad at eye about it I know we're in a different 150 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:45,280 day and age with everything that goes on now but I just put that out there here is the 151 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:53,160 20 year old who's powering around with a 14 15 year old girl people say oh why can't he 152 00:17:53,160 --> 00:18:00,120 find somebody his age I don't know how things are done in Australia maybe that's the going 153 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:07,960 age where a 20 year old has a relationship with a 15 14 year old maybe that's cultural 154 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:14,840 I don't know I just put it out there but we'll see what happens what the NBA on covers in 155 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:20,920 that regard but very interesting case that's for sure and I'm curious to see what becomes 156 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:27,200 of it because that's my question if everything is true what happens next do you suspend him 157 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:35,040 what do you do with him if that's the case is the girl from here she from Australia 158 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:44,280 so that is another story now let's get to Greg Popovich in the San Antonio spurs Greg 159 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:53,560 Popovich in a game where Kauai Leonard now playing with the LA Clippers they come to 160 00:18:53,560 --> 00:19:01,440 San Antonio to play the Spurs and around the second quarter I want to say that this happened 161 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:08,840 Kauai is at the free throw line and boo start raining down on him and then Greg Popovich 162 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:17,560 walks from his bench goes to the PA announcer asks for the mic and he tells the San Antonio 163 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:24,640 Spurs faithful the fans there to stop booing Kauai oh yes it was with three minutes and 164 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:33,880 eight seconds left in the second quarter and Clippers were up by the way 47 to 38 at that 165 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:40,680 time so pop he gets on the mic and says can we stop the booing and let these guys play 166 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:47,800 that's low class and that's not who we are and he goes back to the bench and actually 167 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:54,720 the booze were getting louder after he made the announcement and afterwards pop gives 168 00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:01,600 his reason for doing so and here's what he said you don't poke the bear in other words 169 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:08,680 you don't want to rile up your opposition in this case Kauai Leonard and the LA Clippers 170 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:16,240 and have them to go off although Kauai did have a pretty good game he scored 26 points 171 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:22,720 shot 10 of 17 from the field with four assists and two steals so he had a good game but here's 172 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,480 the thing that I don't think Greg Popovich understands first of all I know he's going 173 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:34,320 to defend his players even his former players he's going to defend them to the Hilt I get 174 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:42,080 that but the fans weren't booing the fact that Kauai plays for another team they're 175 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:49,080 boing because of the manner in which he left that's a whole big difference in the manner 176 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:55,000 in which he left he had that quad injury in his last season as a spur that allowed him 177 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,320 only to play in nine games guys and there was many questioning his injury and him sitting 178 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:10,120 out and some of those were actually his teammates in the organization itself so when you look 179 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:16,760 at it that way I don't think the fans are in the wrong because of the way he left not 180 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,440 the fact that he's first of all he got traded it wasn't like he was a free agent and he 181 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:31,120 just went his own separate way he was actually traded so to chide the fans for booing it 182 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:38,120 seems kind of I guess the word would be out of touch Greg Popovich is out of touch with 183 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:43,520 how the fans are feeling about Kauai Leonard and his departure from San Antonio it just 184 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:51,240 seems a bit out of touch but I get it again Greg Popovich is a players coach he loves 185 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:57,640 his players whoever they be current players now a former players he loves his guys but 186 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:05,840 I think he just was out of sorts in this situation here but I get it too he's thinking about 187 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:12,120 his current team and they were only down nine at that point although Kauai knocked in the 188 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:18,400 two free throws so it's now a 11 point game so you know they're still within shouting 189 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,640 distance but they end up losing the game I just had to bring that to the forefront Greg 190 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,960 Popovich your heart's in the right place but I think the fans kind of have a right in this 191 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:37,640 instance to be boisterous about Kauai and Kauai is a big boy he can handle booing so 192 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:46,080 I'll leave that there so that leads us to the last news item guys the Chris Paul and 193 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Scott Forster beef now this game took place November 22nd it was at Phoenix by the way 194 00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:03,160 and this was a game in fact where the Golden State Warriors lost to Phoenix 123 to 115 195 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:09,640 and it was a night where CP3 made his return back to Phoenix where he played many seasons 196 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:18,840 there they even gave him a video montage in a game where Katie he drops 32 points Devin 197 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:25,680 Booker he has 25 and of course he goes on to be player of the week and actually Phoenix 198 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:34,720 nearly squandered a 23 point lead in this game but the big story is CP3 he gets called 199 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:42,880 for foul he's gotten Kevin Durant at the time and Chris Paul he goes to Scott Foster who 200 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:50,440 they have beef guys they have beef between them in fact according to history he's only 201 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:57,040 like 3 and 17 in games where Scott Foster was the ref and he was the player so you have 202 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:05,280 that dynamic so he gets called for a foul on Kevin Durant and Chris Paul's argument 203 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:11,480 is that Kevin Durant kind of flopped so where's the flop call and this took place with about 204 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,880 23.2 seconds left in the second quarter seem like everything's happening in the second 205 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:23,440 quarter guys but yeah so he's going back and forth with Scott Foster and then I guess 206 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:31,000 Scott Foster at one point had enough of him questioning his call and he teased him up 207 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:38,640 from which Chris Paul he uses the magic B word and then bingo he gets a second technical 208 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:46,680 foul called on him thus he's ejected from the game and then you have coach Steve Kerr 209 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:54,120 he's arguing the objection to Scott Foster and boom he gets a technical foul called 210 00:24:54,120 --> 00:25:00,800 on him for arguing on Chris Paul's behalf so you have all of that going on and then 211 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:09,040 you have guys like Kendrick Perkins he asked the question when is Scott Foster going to 212 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:16,800 be held accountable in other words the NBA and the league office knows the history between 213 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,920 Chris Paul and Scott Foster when is there a time where Scott Foster has to be called 214 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:30,760 into question here and actually Brian Wendhorse he was on first take he says this about Scott 215 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:39,000 Foster he's highly respected amongst all referees he's highly respected and he will make any 216 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:45,200 call in the game regardless of the situation regardless whether it's home or away he'll 217 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:51,960 make that call and that's what the league likes about him to which Steve Naysmith replied 218 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:57,200 to him well he didn't reply to him he just made a statement that Scott Foster should 219 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:06,000 no longer call games that Chris Paul is playing in and that speaks to a larger question should 220 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:14,160 it be a case where Scott Foster no longer calls Chris Paul games very good question 221 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:20,400 and I could see the argument against it which will be oh but that'll be showing partiality 222 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:28,160 so we can't do that but you'd clearly know that these two have beef he always gets teed 223 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:36,360 up in a Scott Foster game you see the record that he has in a Scott Foster called game 224 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:43,640 if you have a history like that where a player in a referee has this animosity towards one 225 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:51,120 another why are we even allowing that referee to call his game that is a legitimate question 226 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:58,560 why it because it's come to a point where and again I've been on the referee since 227 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:04,640 the beginning of the season I think they haven't done that great of a job overall especially 228 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,840 with this flopping stuff and everything else it seems like actually seems like they're 229 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:16,640 calming down with that but all in all it has left a lot to be desired to refereeing and 230 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:22,440 then something like this happens then you're bringing it up again it's not a good look 231 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:28,520 for the league and they're gonna have to address that so whether they do or not we'll see what 232 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:35,680 happened that's the story there I guess that's it guys that's it for this episode again I 233 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:42,360 thank you
