00:4632 minutes. I didn't miss it.
00:51Worked out perfectly. That was
00:52Saturday night, right? Mm hmm.
00:54Saturday, I was watching
00:58football. I was watching some
01:00football but I might have went
01:01to bed early cuz that game
01:03seemed like it was over. Was
01:06that was the Denver game second?
01:08That was Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh
01:10and that was over. Yeah. You
01:12could tell where that was
01:13going. That was they were down
01:1421 nothing and then 28 seven.
01:16That was. Yeah. Nico, 21 points.
01:21So proud of you, Nico. Amen.
01:26Uh Nico, talk to the great
01:29Jason Jackson after the game in
01:31a walk-off interview. Do we
01:33have Nico and Jax? Go on the
01:36road to two overtimes. Oh,
01:40there's my guy. Nico, listen.
01:43Let's talk about this trip
01:44overall right now. You guys
01:46have that gut-wrenching loss in
01:48Sacramento and and that led to
01:50three straight losses but you
01:51guys just come back with three
01:52straight wins. How good does
01:54that feel when you guys are
01:55trying to, you know, create a
01:57position in this big cluster of
02:00eight teams in the Eastern
02:01Conference? Uh I mean, I think
02:04I said after the Golden State
02:05win. Uh it was uh like I said,
02:07breakthrough win for us and we
02:08knew we had a good team. I
02:10think that's what I said and uh
02:12uh we just need one good win
02:14and uh I think we're rolling
02:15now. Uh I know we can always do
02:17better but you know uh that's
02:19what we need. Uh three straight
02:20wins. Uh I think we're showing
02:22why we're you know uh we're
02:25mentioning and we're watching
02:26and uh yeah that's it. My man.
02:29This offense. Let's talk about
02:31it. Like 119 points tonight.
02:33Balance score. You guys had six
02:35double figure scores. You got
02:38Tyler leading the way with
02:39thirty-two. You have twenty-one
02:41off the bench. You guys
02:42connective. I know every time
02:43you guys get you know thirty
02:44assists or more. Spo was saying
02:45he loves when you guys get
02:46thirty assists. Thirty-one
02:48tonight on forty-four made
02:50buckets. How connected are you
02:51guys? I mean, that's what we do.
02:53I think we play the the right
02:55way and uh that's what's
02:56helping us. Uh I think that's
02:58it's uh uh right way to play.
03:00It's more fun to watch. It's uh
03:02it makes everybody happy. Uh we
03:04move the ball. Uh we're just
03:07looking great that way. You
03:08know, I think that's the the
03:09way we need to play right now.
03:10Uh you know, of course, you
03:12have uh unbelievable scoring in
03:14Tyler and unbelievable player in
03:16Bam who can, you know, always
03:18do their thing but you know, if
03:19they get us uh if they get us,
03:21you know, role players going uh
03:23I know it's going to be a great
03:24game. I know we could talk
03:26about you putting the ball in
03:27the basket all day but I want
03:28to I want to talk about how you
03:30are taking care of this ball,
03:31setting up other people uh over
03:33the last eight games, my man.
03:35Thirty-four assists, just nine
03:38turnovers. Talk about your
03:40abilities here that are being
03:42showcased to come down, set up
03:44offense, get people going while
03:45you're getting yours as well.
03:46Uh I mean, I mean, it's it's
03:48pretty simple. Uh like like I
03:50said before, we have so many
03:51good players where uh you just
03:53gotta find it. Put it on them,
03:54huh? Yeah, you just gotta find
03:55them in the right spot and uh I
03:57think that's what I'm doing. So
03:58yeah, it's pretty easy. I
04:00always say the same thing. Uh
04:02you know, coming off a picking
04:03roll from the post up, you know,
04:05it's one pass and everybody's a
04:06good shooter. You know,
04:07everybody's a good driver. They
04:08can put the ball on the floor
04:09too and uh it's it's it's really
04:11easy to play if you just put
04:12the right way. Uh I think those
04:13assists uh I don't think I'm
04:14doing anything you know special
04:15out of it. It's just like I
04:17said, play the right way. It is
04:19special. How dare you, Nico?
04:21Exactly. You're special. It's
04:22special and I appreciate your
04:23time. Thank you. Have a good
04:24one guys. Talk to you later.
04:25You know what? There you go.
04:28Jason Jackson on the Miami Heat
04:29audio experience with the great
04:32Nicola Jovich after the win
04:35against the Blazers. Uh
04:37something with this kid. Uh I
04:40I I want to I want to feel the
04:43enthusiasm of the young players.
04:46I want to feel the enthusiasm of
04:49what's building but always kills
04:53it. He's not going to kill it
04:56dude. You know, this last time
04:57blows now though, dude. Okay.
04:59Spode doesn't want to say
05:00anything. He's not going to kill
05:02it. He's not going to kill it.
05:04I'm telling you, he's not going
05:05to do it. Okay. Dude, you know
05:08how I feel about when things
05:10will be going great and then
05:11next thing you know, oh so and
05:13so had twenty-five Sioux Falls.
05:19Like I like it. Dude, you
05:21making it sound like I'm just
05:22making this up. I have past
05:24history that has me feeling
05:26this way and I want you to make
05:28it sound like I'm just making
05:30this up. I have past history
05:32that has me feeling this way and
05:34I want you to make me feel
05:36differently. We may have
05:37anything. You're and your idea
05:39of making me feel better is this
05:41time is different, dude. That's
05:43it. That's all you say. I don't
05:45want to get ahead of myself. I
05:46don't want to get ahead of
05:47myself because everybody's
05:48going to be paying attention to
05:49me. You live ahead of yourself.
05:51I don't want to get ahead of
05:52myself. What are you talking
05:53about? Frog boy, I don't want
05:55to get ahead of myself. Don't do
05:56it. JFig. Hmm. Yep. I don't
06:01want to get ahead of myself.
06:03However, you don't want to but
06:05you're going to do it. You're
06:07going to get sucked in. Some
06:09are saying, some are saying,
06:11some are saying, what are they
06:13saying? That Friday when the
06:15nuggets are in town. Yeah. It's
06:18a battle for the Serbian throne.
06:20Some are saying that when Denver
06:22comes to town and the Joker
06:25comes to town, some are saying
06:27can I ask you a question? That's
06:29for the Serbian throne. What
06:30is Jimmy on? Oh, well, he
06:34couldn't, he couldn't betray
06:35Nico. He loves it. He's
06:38justifying all of this by
06:40saying he's not doing this
06:43against the players. He's doing
06:44it against the franchise. You
06:46could always justify it. Oh,
06:50you see what I mean? That that's
06:52so, so what as good as things
06:57have been, have gone, I don't
07:01know how. And, and again, I
07:04don't, if Jimmy is Jimmy, the
07:09team is better, but if Jimmy
07:16isn't Jimmy, the team is a lot
07:19worse because now you're
07:20thinking about Jimmy being
07:22Jimmy. Let's just say Jimmy's
07:24not there though. What do you
07:25think about the battle for the
07:26Serbian crown? You think that's
07:30the most important situation
07:32coming this Friday? It might be
07:34no, it might be. I mean, what
07:36I'm watching this kid do every
07:37single night, it might be,
07:39there's a 800 pound gorilla in
07:43the room and your solution to
07:47this is we're going to ignore it
07:49and talk about the Serbian
07:50crown. Dude, come on. Look at
07:55him at the labs. I'm like, I've
07:58been, dude, who's been the one
08:01saying that Nico's been a pro
08:04longer than some of these guys
08:05that he'd have on this team.
08:07Yet he gets in the Sioux Falls.
08:09Yet he gets sparing minutes. He
08:11been a pro longer than a lot of
08:12these guys. So I've always been
08:16in Nico's corner about getting
08:17playtime just like I am with
08:19Kalel. So didn't Joker win MVP
08:24last year? Well, he has three of
08:25them. He has three of them with
08:28the Serbian crown, three miles.
08:30You got to stay on top. Look in
08:32the game, in the fight game,
08:33you got to stay on top. There's
08:34always a young lion coming for
08:35you. Yeah, but like there's not
08:37like Marcos, Marcos, you're
08:39trying to don't do it. Why?
08:41Just cause he had his first
08:42back-to-back 20 point game.
08:44Yeah, actually. Yeah. He had his
08:49foot. Wait, he had his first
08:51back-to-back 20 point game and
08:53Jokic averages a triple-double.
08:56I said, I don't want it. And
09:01you think if he outplays it for
09:03one game, he going to take the
09:04crown, right? I'm king of
09:07Serbia now. You think, you, you
09:09think, you think you're being a
09:11little too much? I'm big brother
09:15now. Too much. Too much. We've
09:19always hated the Jokic's. He
09:21got, what is his averages
09:22with 26? I'm sure it's eight.
09:24I'm sure his average is 10 and
09:26eight. I'm sure his averages
09:28while not caring are better than
09:30anybody's like, Ooh, he's second
09:34in points per game. Third and
09:36rebounds per game. Second and
09:38assist per game and first and
09:40three point percent. He's
09:41averaging 31, 13 and just under
09:4410. Yeah. And your Serbia just
09:49had a second back to his first
09:51back-to-back 20 point game. And
09:52you say they play for the
09:53ground. What ground? What
09:56ground? He's going to be 30 next
09:59one. He's washed. Oh, he's at
10:01he's averaging his age. Never
10:04like the Jokic family. Oh,
10:12he gave me a warning before he
10:14said anything. I know. I know.
10:16He tried. Listen, he's tried
10:19not so hard. Here's the thing
10:23with Tobin. I realized Tobin, if
10:28he likes somebody out of his way
10:31to avoid those tough
10:34conversations, you know, who
10:35would win the battle of
10:36Slovenia all the time was that
10:38Goran would be Luca like a drum
10:40or like a Lucas better, better
10:43player. But, but, but in the
10:45battle of Slovenia, Goran was
10:48king. We'll see what happens.
10:50Not to get ahead of myself. No,
10:52of course not. Again. Again.
11:05At least my baby boy can see his
11:07toes.
11:15Before we get to the break,
11:18can I just hear Nico refer to
11:20himself or refer to Kalawares
11:22as Rook one more time? Yeah,
11:23absolutely. Seven foot Rook. I
11:26always say, you know, uh, my
11:28Rook's been playing great. Uh,
11:30it's, it's easy to play with
11:31him. Uh, he's smart. He does
11:33the, he does the things he
11:35knows how to do. He do them
11:37right. And, uh, yeah, it's,
11:39it's really easy to learn. My
11:42Rook. Like, really? That's
11:45equivalent. That would be the
11:46equivalent to, to like two, two
11:49kids. And one's nine and other
11:51one's eight. And the other one
11:52say, that's my kid.
11:57My young and my young bull
12:01Tobin, you didn't experience
12:02this, but usually the oldest
12:05I'm in charge.
12:09I'm waiting for Kalaw to refer
12:10to him as his OG.
12:11Neither one of them 25 yet.
12:15Well, gee, we kicked it. We've
12:16been back for a minute.
