00:02 - Did you see the brawl, if you wanna call it that,
00:05 in the Warrior Timberwolves game last night?
00:08 - I saw, yeah.
00:08 - Did you see Draymond get the choke hold
00:10 on Rudy Gobert two minutes into the game?
00:14 There was a couple of skirmishes in the NBA last night.
00:17 It was all about fighting.
00:19 - So there's no tough guy in the NBA
00:21 outside of Draymond that can knock him out, right?
00:24 Or give him an elbow to the cheek or something?
00:26 I'm just saying, why is this guy--
00:28 - He's got the NHL, Joe.
00:30 He's got an enforcer on their bench,
00:32 trying to make him stand out to fight Draymond on the court.
00:35 - He's got the podcast, I know.
00:37 There's not anybody that can muscle this guy
00:40 in the move post.
00:42 I mean, come on.
00:44 - No, no.
00:45 - Yeah, exactly.
00:46 Where's Mason and Oakley, two guys I knew from the lab.
00:49 The late Anthony Mason was the best, let me tell you.
00:51 Biggest showman.
00:52 - For a long time.
00:53 Long way away from those days, Joe.
00:55 Those days are a long way.
00:57 Now it's run and shoot the three.
00:59 There's no more physical play.
01:01 It's not a blue collar game anymore.
01:03 You know that.
01:04 It's about shooting the three and looking pretty.
01:06 That's it.
01:07 Uncontested dunks, Joe.
01:08 That's what we need.
