00:00Well, Carver High, last night we had some action going in some of these summer league

00:11games and the one that stood out to me, as you know, was like taking China to cover the

00:18big piece.

00:20And they did.

00:2124 tutties, 28 and a half they were getting from the Spurs in that game.

00:28In Cali, 89-69 the final, 22, in fact, that game was single digits in the third quarter.

00:34The Spurs ended up pulling away in the fourth, but not pulling away enough to cover the 28

00:40and a hook.

00:41So the Spurs win there at the California Classic, which we'll finish off tonight.

00:47The Grizzlies beat the Sixers by two.

00:50Edie didn't play last night, Scotty, because they didn't want to obviously play three nights

00:54in a row because they're playing again tonight in Utah.

00:57So they gave him last night off, he'll be back in there tonight for Memphis.

01:02So we did.

01:03And what was the other one you covered last night?

01:04Who else played last night out there?

01:07The Utah game, right?

01:08Utah played OKC?

01:09Yeah, they had OKC and they rolled them.

01:13OKC rolled them last night in Utah.

01:16Nice job there as well.

01:18Here's what we have tonight.

01:20These are the last games in Utah and California.

01:22Of course, on Friday, everybody arrives in Vegas for Vegas Summer League, where there'll

01:28be just loads of games every single day for like a week straight.

01:33Grizzlies and Thunder tonight in Utah and the Sixers and the Jazz.

01:37Seven and a half for Memphis, eight and a half for Utah.

01:43I think both of those spreads are too juicy for me.

01:46I'll take the Thunder and the Sixers with the numbers.

01:51Seven and a half for Thunder, eight and a half for Philly.

01:54I mean, they lost by two last night.

01:56The Thunder, they blew out the Jazz last night.

02:02And I don't think the Grizzlies are that good.

02:04I mean, you know, I think Zach Eady had a great game the other night, but they still

02:07lost.

02:08They lost to the Jazz and I don't think the Jazz are all that in the Summer League.

02:14This is, you know, Summer League ball.

02:16This is not the NBA.

02:18This is like the future, at best, NBA, right?

02:25Like some of these guys have a wing and a prayer of getting into the NBA.

02:30This is their moment to shine.

02:32But at the end of the day, I got to be honest with you.

02:35I think the games pretty much suck.

02:37They are sloppy.

02:38They're ugly.

02:40There's a lot of bad shots and really bad basketball.

02:44When you think about it, they've never played together before.

02:46Fair enough.

02:48But it is sloppy.

02:49You can't argue it.

02:50If you watch it, it's not that scintillating.

02:5390% of the guys in these games are not sniffing the NBA, the real NBA.

03:01It is not.

03:02This is a lot of developmental.

03:03This is a lot of rookies.

03:05This is a lot of guys who've been hanging around, playing in other leagues for years.

03:10So, you know, these G League guys, it's just not the highest quality of basketball.

03:16You also have the end of the California Classic tonight, which is, this end of it is going

03:21to be at Golden State here.

03:23And you will get, allegedly, Brawny back in action tonight for the Lakers.

03:28We have not heard yet that he's not going to play.

03:31As of now, they say he is.

03:33And the Heat are five and a half point favorites.

03:34Of course, Ware's been very good for them in these couple of summer league games.

03:38Kings and Warriors in the other one.

03:40Warriors minus eight and a half.

03:41I mean, didn't I have the Kings in a game last night as well, and they covered?

03:46Yeah, Kings have a split squad.

03:48They have split squad.

03:50I'll still take the eight and a half with the Kings in that game at the Golden one.

03:57And then I'll take the Heat and lay the five and a half over the Lakers.

04:04That's not that hard to me.

04:05Five and a half, I can live with.

04:08Five and a half over Brawny.

04:10Hopefully, Brawny more than four points tonight?

04:12What do you think?

04:13More than four points?

04:15Remember, they said that Brawny can guard all five positions.

04:19I want to see that little 6'1 B, capital B, guard Kalel Ware of Indiana, seven foot one.

04:28I want to see a guy a foot taller than him.

04:31I want to see him stop that big seven foot behemoth when he's throwing down tomahawks

04:37in his face into the rack.

04:40That kid can't stop that.

04:41He couldn't stop him if he was asleep.

04:44He couldn't snuff him out if he was asleep with a pillow.

04:47Trust me, this is no joke.

04:50I've always told you, don't get me started on putting some little six foot guy against

04:55a seven footer.

04:56I don't care who it is.

04:58I mean, I can put up half of those guys that played at Indiana.

05:02What's his name?

05:03Zeller.

05:04Cody Zeller.

05:05He's another seven foot hack in the NBA.

05:06He's terrible.

05:07But when he was in college, he was unstoppable at Indiana, right?

05:12So you put that guy, a seven footer, against any guy six foot in the NBA, I don't care

05:18who it is, and they will not be able to stop Cody Zeller.

05:22And he's awful.

05:23He's what they would deem awful.

05:25There's no, can you imagine some six foot guys trying to stop Zubats?

05:30What that big fat seven footer would do to some six foot guy?

05:33I mean, honestly, let's stop being nice around here.

05:36Like, I am all about bigs and violence.

05:40Let's go.

05:41The bigger, the better.

05:44Friday in Vegas, there are seven games to start things off.

05:47In fact, there'll be a couple on during Coast to Coast.

05:51We actually will have a couple of games on too.

05:54It's better than the Euros.

05:56Pelicans and the Timberwolves will both be on during Coast to Coast.

06:00You have that to look forward to at the end of the week.

06:03John Moran cleared for basketball activities after all the rehab for his shoulder.

06:08I got four.

06:09Yes.

06:10I got four of them.

06:11I have been wearing the new jaws playing basketball.

06:16And I have to say, well, first of all, they are the best looking shoe I've ever seen on

06:23the market.

06:24And I buy basketball shoes like nobody's business.

06:28And I'm telling you, they're the coolest shoes I've ever worn.

06:32And I love them.

06:33I thought the Lucas were nice.

06:35They've already made the trunk of my car.

06:37The Lucas have been thrown in the trunk.

06:39Carver knows the rules.

06:40Once the shoe goes in the trunk, they become park shoes.

06:44They're no longer used indoors.

06:47Anything in the car is used for outside purposes.

06:50So Lucas have been retired already.

06:52And I'm on to the jaws.

06:54And the only other shoe I got left are the new KDs from like 23, the black and gold ones.

07:01They're bad ass.

07:02I'm going to break those out next.

07:04But I'm wearing the jaws.

07:06I didn't clearly from now until I'm guessing possibly Christmas.

07:13Possibly Christmas.

07:14That's nice.

07:15Good job by you getting the jaws a little bit of work inside on the courts.

07:18Here's Klay Thompson.

07:19I told you yesterday he was introduced down in Dallas now as a member of the Mavericks.

07:25Very hard for him, Scotty, to say goodbye to Golden State.

07:28I mean, whether you play basketball or work in the corporate world or wherever, whatever

07:37industry sometimes change just can spur greatness and a new change of scenery can do wonders.

07:44And I'm very grateful for my time at Golden State.

07:49But I just felt like, you know, moving on could just re-energize me and do something

07:57special for the rest of my career.

07:59And Dallas was so attractive because of the young players they have, the style of play,

08:04the, you know, world class treatment these players get from this organization and just

08:12a beautiful city who loves their hoops.

08:14Listen, I'm not going to argue with him, but the reality is he got four rings out of the

08:22dubs and he contributed to all of them.

08:26And at the end of the day, they didn't want him anymore.

08:29They weren't paying him for his broken down knee and Achilles and game, which was never

08:36the same after the fact.

08:38And they didn't want him.

08:39The hardest part of a divorce is, you know, it goes both ways.

08:44It's never easy for anybody in anything.

08:48Marriages, teams, jobs.

08:51It's always they always end the same way with a thud.

08:55OK.

08:56Like, you know, you see these marriages and OK, and then, you know, the kids are affected.

09:01Why?

09:02And she gets a mansion.

09:04The guy's living in an apartment somewhere and then teams like that guy.

09:09It's written all over his face that he's miserable, that they did him.

09:13It's written all over his face.

09:15He's talking about a resurgence and a renaissance in Dallas of his career.

09:19Yeah, whatever.

09:20They got rid of him.
