00:02 - Monty, this is a tough scene.
00:04 Let's hear it.
00:05 - We had a number of opportunities on offense.
00:08 We missed open looks at the free throw line.
00:11 We had a couple of situations that we turned the ball over.
00:16 Like we had opportunity, I don't think that was tight.
00:18 We just missed, you know what I mean?
00:20 So, but is it, is it heavy?
00:22 - Yeah.
00:23 - I would imagine for everybody it is.
00:25 Nobody wants this kind of thing attached to them.
00:29 And, you know, I was brought in here to,
00:33 to change this thing.
00:35 And it's, it's probably the most on me than anybody.
00:39 You know, the players are playing their hearts out.
00:40 I got to get them in a position where they don't feel
00:43 - Playing their hearts out, Joe.
00:44 - Tight or heavy.
00:46 But, you know, it's where we are.
00:48 That's the reality of the situation.
00:50 - Joe, they're playing their hearts out.
00:52 They've lost 27 games in a row.
00:55 Like.
00:55 - Well, not all under his watch.
00:57 I mean, not all under him, have they?
00:59 - Yeah, all under him.
01:01 - I thought it was.
01:01 - Yeah, all under him.
01:02 All this year, 27 games in a row, Joe.
01:07 Come on.
01:07 Get the mayor out of the ears for a minute.
01:10 - Look at me, call me.
01:12 - The mayor ball is breaking down the mayor ball.
01:14 - I'm breaking down stuff that I'm actually
01:16 breaking down schematics.
01:17 Now, here's the thing, Carver.
01:19 They have talent.
01:20 It takes a while.
01:21 Again, I can't, whenever they're up.
01:24 I mean, they lost by six.
01:25 They covered the spread, but they lost the game outright.
01:28 Right, they were getting six and a half last night.
01:30 - They did cover the spread.
01:32 They're 10, 16, and one against the number
01:35 or something like that.
01:36 So they've covered some games.
01:38 - I would roll with that as opposed to the 27 straight.
01:42 With 10, 16, and one against the number.
01:45 I would roll with that as opposed to the--
01:48 - All right, well, let me ask you this.
01:50 They don't have the number yet.
01:51 They're in Boston tomorrow night.
01:54 What do you think the number's gonna be?
01:56 - 18.
01:58 - Yeah, you think that high?
02:00 Would you take them at 18?
02:02 If it's over 15, are you taking them in Boston?
02:04 - No.
02:05 If you get me closer to 20.
02:07 If you got me a 20 spot, and or I--
02:11 - There's a number there for you, Joe.
02:13 There is.
02:13 I know there's a number, you take them.
02:15 - I think in that spot, now that they set the record
02:18 going up against potentially the best team in the East,
02:22 I think that's a spot that I don't know if they win,
02:25 but I would definitely back them.
02:26 If you're gonna give me 18, 19,
02:29 I would take them in that situation.
02:31 - Maybe tonight on Carver and Lacey,
02:34 we'll have some look ahead lines.
02:35 We should have a couple of them up by then.
02:36 - Well, if you have look ahead lines,
02:37 I'll tell you the game that they're gonna win outright.
02:40 - Well, wait a second.
02:41 What do you mean?
02:42 Me and Coach actually just did that.
02:45 They're not winning a game anytime soon.
02:47 Just so you know, we saw--
02:48 - Give me the next three.
02:49 - January.
02:50 I'll give you the next three.
02:51 Hold on a second.
02:52 You want the next three?
02:54 They're at Boston tomorrow night.
02:57 Then they have Toronto at home on Saturday.
03:00 - That's the game they're gonna win.
03:01 Toronto. - They're not gonna win
03:02 that game.
03:03 They're not gonna win that game.
03:04 - No, Toronto at home. - At Houston, at Utah,
03:06 at Golden State, at Denver, Sacramento home.
03:08 They play the Spurs at home on January 10th.
03:11 They'd have lost 33 games in a row if they get that game.
03:14 - Don't look any further.
03:16 Toronto home game is the one that they're catching.
