00:00you happen to see the lakers last night anybody you see how the lakers lost by uh by 90 uh
00:05to
00:05the thunder yesterday yeah yeah i think it's close they all play 43 uh so a couple things
00:11that came out of that game one luga donchik uh pulled his hammy uh he's playing mvp level ball
00:17right now leads the league in scoring he's going to be the scoring champion this year
00:20but it does put that 65 game number in doubt he's definitely going to miss some games because
00:26they're going to get him an mri i guess today but he's going to miss a couple games and i
00:31think
00:31what's he at 62 right now i think so he's got three games to go to be qualified for all
00:36the
00:36postseason awards look he's way in the distance odds wise to be the mvp but man it would have been
00:42nice for him to get to 65 to see how close the voting was between him and sga and jalen
00:48brown and
00:48you know i guess kate cunningham uh although i don't think kate's going to get to 65 no either
00:53but the bigger stuff if you're a laker fan is the lakers are playing damn good basketball
00:59they're one of the best teams in the second half uh and everyone's uh kind of figured out their role
01:03all of a sudden and they are the three seed out west and if luka donchik's hammy's a problem
01:08and i'm saying something that's quite obvious good night lakers it's a wrap if luka donchik can't go
01:15with the level he's been playing at because that dude has been balling his face off but i did get
01:20a
01:20kick out of the fact that they uh put the charity case i'm sorry brawny james and uh you're down
01:26by
01:2650 last night and they put him in a point guard and i thought it was great because in a
01:31matter of 35
01:32seconds on uh three consecutive possessions it went like this oh stolen oh stolen oh stolen
01:43three straight possessions dude couldn't get the ball barely passed uh mid-court and had three
01:50consecutive turnovers by the same dude down 50 you can't let that try to play point guard
01:57much like his pops he ain't got no handles well you can't you don't don't do that don't do that
02:03ain't got no handles see i was with you even with the family that's right yeah don't do that yeah
02:11see now that's just hate that's where you go too far you know maybe there's a much bigger
02:15part of this injury thing uh you know but brownie deserves the thing but blaming lebron for brownie
02:21staking stolen why so feminine stolen like he's gonna have a manly bow in his body look at this
02:29look at this there's another significant thing with the luka injury though real fast if i may
02:35yeah he signed the short-term extension after the trade thinking i'll get i'll play 65 games and i
02:43can then get that super max he won't be all nba if he doesn't play 65 games so he wouldn't
02:49be eligible
02:50for the super max which then puts him on another short-term contract that hamstring might cost luka
02:55donchuk 200 million dollars well one thing real quick we just double checked so he's at 64 so he only
03:02needs one more game and because of that here's what's going to happen and let's say the hammy is
03:06a real problem and i know he's going to miss some games for sure because of it and it's more
03:10important
03:10that he'd be healthy going into the playoffs than anything else if if that's the case uh that you
03:16know that this is the year where he could be eligible for that the super max that he lost out
03:20which cost him 100 some odd million bucks when he went to la in the trade then they would start
03:26him
03:27and uh at the first whistle take him out take him out and i'm telling you right now if that
03:33happens
03:34we want to be the first to tell you that's a possibility if he plays and gets to a 65th
03:39game
03:39making him eligible for all the postseason stuff and then i assume if if that makes him available
03:46uh for a bigger contract they will start him and pull him out and i can tell you now
03:52the basketball world will erupt with criticism that this is another problem that the nba has
04:00so we'll keep an eye on that but um oh now they're telling me that you have to play 20
04:06minutes is that
04:06right i didn't know that was a rule to get eligible for the game i didn't know that see that
04:10and that's
04:12and that's the challenging part about this for luca because he's he's had he's obviously all nba
04:18obviously and now he can get the super max but if he's not 65 games you can't be all nba
04:24and if
04:24you're not all nba you can't get the super max this could cost him a lot of money this injury
04:30and
04:31that's that's a big thing for the lakers future and good job by ryan downstairs because i didn't
04:35know that rule so it says here you have to log at least 20 minutes in a game the only
04:40exceptions
04:41include a maximum of two games where a player logs between 15 and 20 minutes so if you play a
04:51game
04:51in which you're in the game for less than 15 minutes that does not count as a game played towards
04:56the
04:56minimum but they do give you a teeny bit of grace where if there's a game in which you played
05:02in between 15 and 20 minutes they'll let you do that twice and then you still get the credit
05:09so in reality he's got to play 15 minutes in one more game and then he becomes eligible uh for
05:16all
05:16the stuff that you're talking about there uh that's a good catch by ryan downstairs because i did not
05:20know that i would have thought i didn't know like they did for um josh allen this last year where
05:25he
05:25played the very first snap and then they took him out and they said his consecutive streak game uh
05:31continues and it's a it's a bogus thing because he didn't play he took a snap handed the ball off
05:36uh to cook and then they took him out of the game like hey the streak continues that's the one
05:42thing
05:42i would say good about eli manning eli manning's iron man streak that was rudely interrupted by geno
05:48smith for one game and then they brought eli back that was a legitimate streak he played every quarter
05:56and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then
05:56they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought
05:56him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out
05:56of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the
05:56game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and
05:56then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they
05:56brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him
05:56out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of
05:56the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game
05:56and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then
05:56they brought him out of the game and then they brought him out of the game and then they brought
05:56him
