Episode 30 - The Restart

This week’s episode on Man-to-Man, Andy and Hoop finally get to talk about REAL NBA basketball...well, almost real except for the virtual fans. Nonetheless, the boys opened up the show with the two games on opening night - the hungry New Orleans Pelicans vs the Utah Jazz, and the Los Angeles Lakers vs the LA Clippers. With Pelicans forward Zion Williamson placed on a minute-restriction, Williamson did not play the last eight minutes of the game, resulting in a two point win for the Jazz at the end regulation. Lebron James and the fully-loaded Lakers steal a win over the rosterless LA Clippers, as James grabs his own put-back rebound for the go-ahead bucket in the final minute of regulation. Clippers guard Paul George attempts a game winner in final seconds, but ricochets off the back iron. Hoop raises concerns for the Lakers as they seem to “lackluster” at times when leading in games. Andy concurs, but notes the Clippers aren’t a consistent team either, playing all season without a healthy roster. The boys transition into their `` Man-to-Man Worthy or Keep it Movin’” segment, discussing matters related to players and coaches kneeling or choosing to stand during the National Anthem. Andy says individuals on teams should be challenged to go back to their communities and donate money or get involved with educating clubs and organizations of lower-to-middle class people on how to vote, or donate money for children who are preparing for school providing them laptops and school supplies. To cap off the episode, we see our first 50 BURGER in the bubble. Was it James Harden? Was it Luka Doncic? No, it was TJ Warren of our very own Indiana Pacers. Warren proves he isn’t just worth cash considerations and also proves that he is someone to note worthy of being a franchise player in this league. Congrats to Warren, and Pacer Nation baby. Aha!
