00:00do you think they just weren't going to play him on the back-to-back

00:03because it was too transparent?

00:04Do you still think he's going to play in these final two games,

00:05or did they have an actual change of heart

00:07because of how stupid it looked on Tuesday against the Knicks?

00:09Maybe they did have a little bit of a change of heart,

00:13or maybe it also was how productive would it be

00:15if Jalen Brown is on the floor with zero guys

00:18he's going to be playing within the playoffs?

00:20Maybe the exception of, like, Pritchard.

00:22But, like, everybody else is out.

00:24What are you really doing?

00:26Plus, you're playing a team in the Orlando Magic

00:27that you might play in the first round of the playoffs?

00:30Anyway, so I think just sitting everybody made the most sense.

00:34I also wonder now, if you're Jalen Brown,

00:36and the team clearly wants to go for this 65-game threshold,

00:40but we went over it yesterday, and Terp was in, too.

00:44He came up with his All-NBA team.

00:45I came up with my All-NBA team.

00:47Neither one of us had Jalen Brown on the first, second, or third team.

00:52If you're Brown, do you say, maybe I won't play in that game?

00:55And then I can always be like, oh, I didn't make it because I didn't qualify.

00:58But I would have.

00:59Yeah.

01:00Because you're not going to make it.

01:01And so if you go out there, and especially if we see it,

01:04where he plays 16 minutes tonight.

01:07No, no, no.

01:08Tomorrow night.

01:0816 minutes on Sunday.

01:11Like, what the hell?

01:12What was the point?

01:12And, oh, by the way, you're still dealing with a knee injury going into the playoffs?

01:15And you look like it.

01:16I mean, in the...

01:17No, he's not playing well.

01:18In the New York game, he looked like he was dealing with a knee injury.

01:20Right, and he's talked about it.

01:21He's talked about, like, the pain that he's dealing with.

01:23And even if it's one of these injuries where you can't necessarily hurt it worse,

01:28you're not helping yourself by going out there and playing the way that you are.

01:32You might as well sit starting now through the first round of the playoffs.

01:38And honestly, you don't even need to rush it back for that.

01:40You have the luxury of being so much better than whoever you play,

01:43probably in the first two rounds of the playoffs, that you don't need Jalen Brown.

01:46Yeah, I'd like him back for round two.

01:48But if he said, I'm going to rest through the Hawks series or the Magic series

01:51or whoever they get in round one, I'd be like, yeah, okay.

01:53They don't need you.

01:54But Mozilla confirmed it.

01:55They're going to sweep these teams without them.

01:55Mozilla confirmed it after the Knicks game.

01:57Yeah.

01:58Like, we got them what we needed to.

01:59We got what we needed to.

02:00Yeah, so they basically...

02:03You know, there's still two games left.

02:05So by sitting them last night, it doesn't tell you that they've changed their minds completely

02:08because he still has an opportunity to hit that number.

02:11Yeah.

02:11All right.

02:11So...

02:12...
