00:00I have no idea what he's dealing with. I don't know what the injury is. And I don't, you know,

00:04I wouldn't necessarily speculate on it, but it just sounded like he's kind of comfortable with

00:09a where he is right now and be where he'll be in the playoffs because the medical staff has

00:14gotten him to that point, like explained it to him. This is how we're going to treat it.

00:17And, and I'm okay with that. And I also, do I want him to be eligible for the all NBA team? I do.

00:24Do I think it's a coincidence that he played 22 minutes, which I believe you have to play

00:2820 plus minutes in a game to get credit for that game towards your 65. So you can win awards. I do

00:33not think that's a coincidence. I, I think he wants to be eligible for those awards. And if he,

00:37if he cares about that and the trainers and doctors have convinced him, no,

00:42you're not going to make it worse. You just need to learn pain tolerance. If that's,

00:46if it's a pain tolerance situation, and then we can alleviate some of that pain during the

00:50post-season with some shots or whatever, however they're going to treat it. No, I'm fine with it.

00:55Cause he seems like he's fine with it. And, and, you know, is it ideal? No, it's not ideal

01:01because you know how valuable I think he is, but yeah, I think they've come to grips with where

01:07they're at and, you know, an 85% Jalen Brown, my favorite phrase that scale uses plays on two feet

01:15in the paint, which is, you know, doesn't everybody play on two feet until they take one off the court.

01:20Then they're playing on one and then they jump and they're playing on none, but I don't even know

01:23what it means. It's one of those realized that was a skill or one of those terms that's blown

01:27up in basketball. Kind of like the, the, the S what was the new pitch that they had last night?

01:32They were talking about the sweeper. No, no, no, no, no. It's a splitter mixed with a splinter.

01:38Oh God. It's a splitter mixed with a sinker. Now we're just making stuff up. That's what I thought.

01:42A hundred percent splinter. They were giving him credit for throwing a splinter. And it

01:47sounded like something from urban dictionary. I'm not going to lie. It sounds like a game on

01:50prices, right? He threw a splinter at him or yeah, it could be a game on price. Right? Anyway,

01:54back to Jalen Brown. I think they are comfortable with his health. I think they are comfortable

01:58with how they're going to treat it. And I think you may have to be comfortable as a fan Fitzy with

02:0485% Jalen Brown and him bringing the intangibles. And maybe there's times when he's not quite

02:10a hundred percent or can't quite do what he did for this team last year.
