Succession has returned we can all breathe right it back starts now Yeah, that's right I started a basketball show about the greatest show ever to be made on television minus the Sopranos you're welcome Good Monday morning everybody gentlemen by simply nodding. Did we have a great weekend or I? I Love it. I love that you actually just nodded. Thank you Shoms There he is as you might have told already It's a stadium insiders Shamsher on a Chandler P coming to us still from Mexico and Eddie G on the East Coast And we shall talk some hoops. I Like this first one. It's just got everything you want out of a basketball story heartbreak tragedy Comedy the Bulls with a win over the Lakers 18108 they spoil LeBron's Injury return.  It really did have a lot going on LeBron did have 19 points off the bench Pat Beverly, I think the story of the day for sure But let's concentrate on LA right now sitting in the 9 spot this loss at home Chandler in a time when they really can't afford any of These how bad was it? Yeah, it's bad. It's unfortunate that they're also they're playing teams that are kind of in the similar boat as them that are fighting For their livelihood as well. So it's difficult and no one's just gonna lay down for them Right that every game from here on out.  I don't love him coming off the bench But at this point of the career of the season, I understand why and maybe having his minutes spaced out and things like that But this is a tough loss and this team has to be pretty much perfect from this point forward And there's some teams in the West that I'm sure we'll talk about that are helping their case because even when they lose a game Like this teams like Dallas and team other teams are also losing so it's kind of helping them But yeah, it's to the point of the season now where you know, they have to be damn near Perfect to kind of lock in one of those spots because obviously it's so competitive Everybody's fighting for all the tanking is pretty much done, right? You're either you're either in the lottery or you're fighting for that play in and they're playing these teams They're on the same side on the conference that need the same things that happen So it was a tough one at home and and their and their best players returning He didn't he didn't want to have this outcome of your the Lakers Yeah, I'm with Chandler the the thing that benefits them going on right now is the teams below them are done Essentially Dallas looks worse by the day Portland is literally quit They're giving up on their playoff chances. The Jazz are right there. They're kicking and screaming They're fighting and they got a shot, but we're talking about two spots for three teams and the Lakers now have LeBron I think for them when they look back at this season and they look back at this playoff run When they treaded water just fine without LeBron, that's really when they made the playoffs. They weren't great They took some tough losses. They took some ugly losses, but they got through they didn't go Oh a seven they didn't go all of eight. They treaded water and now they're a playoff team They just got to hang on now. I mean I see another L on their record still coming next week against the Suns But besides that, I think they're in good spot and they should they should push right in and LeBron look great Like you I know you lost the game and there's plenty to talk about in losing the game But LeBron's back. He looks great. You got to feel confident going forward even though you took a tough L I Thought it was really remarkable turnoff for LeBron team. I mean just last week He just began on court activities and and around around LeBron James The hope was within the last week or so the last three or four games of the regular season He'd be back. He makes it back with eight or nine regular season games He makes it back with a couple weeks here for them to get back that energy and he said after the game He had a torn tendon in his foot He met with with a couple doctors that said he needed surgery and I know him coming back this soon Was not the expectation only four weeks out. I think for LeBron James pretty remarkable I do think he didn't look like he was fully there defensively I think that could take some time But for them to get him back with all these games to spare it'll take him some time to get a rhythm back and Get back to his place of starting. This is the second time he's come off the bench in his entire 20 year NBA career So that'll take time But I think for them to get him back this soon has to be surprised everyone and really kudos to his recovery I mean imagine if he would have gone to the Michael Jordan of foot doctors might have been even better than what we saw Yesterday Pat Bev by the way. I mean the dude Just crushing and I love everything that he does his antics yesterday or everything Remember he said back in the day that his goal was to hurt the Lakers playoff chances I mean, I would say that he did exactly that. He also did the two small gesture right there till LeBron freaking james Amazing eddie. Would you think about what he did all day yesterday?  He's been talking for weeks He went on his pod his podcast is hilarious went on his podcast and said hey I'm here to get them out of there.  I don't remember the random eighth eighth man Back up point guards in the league telling Michael Jordan.  So that's a little It's a little awkward right there for my goat Beautiful. Yeah, it's I mean if anything it's it's pure entertainment, right? It's it's comedy and He he played as well as you know, he can and this listen knowing him knowing the guys This is nothing personal. It's not like LeBron or any of these guys in the locker room Just like Patrick Beverly when you're on when he's on your team Man, you love him. He's just one of those guys. He's an absolute annoyance He is a pest to play against but you won the better team and And things like this again, this is how this is hilarious and the timing is perfect and He is probably a partner and has a deal with Charmin But just the idea that he's calling them soft and everything he said about going in there and It didn't end well and and and there he's he's been very Vocal about his time in LA and this was a dream scenario for him He kind of hurt their chances slightly They went into their place where he used to play got the win and talked a lot, but Eddie hit on the head I don't know how he does it, but he's got a way of Doing this trash talking where it's more Funny than obnoxious like Dylan Brooks. So I kudos to however his delivery or how he does it But he's gotten really good at it and and I'm a huge fan I love the way his brain works like he has the perfect troll brain and by the way As a as a fellow Charmin partner, can we just talk about how Freaking perfect the timing was of all of this yesterday and they play again this week in Chicago, I mean come on you can't you cannot time this any better Charmin got every pennies were Michelle Are you a charming every person? Yeah, you know just a paper of choice. That's that is a hundred percent my toilet paper of choice I would have done it for free shams. That's how much I love Charmin What do we predict when they get back to Chicago? I mean, this is this by the way schedule gods Thank you. Thank you. Eddie. Do you think Lakers have a shot to win it with the win one in Chicago? Yeah, I think they're the better team. They should win in Chicago But if we get another 10 point outburst from that It might be a little different, but the Lakers are gonna need to win. I think they're the better team I think they'll handle business and like Chandler said, I don't think anybody's taking this personal or serious They love pat when he was there. They love pat now. They're probably all laughing about it afterwards And he's gonna give us great content on his show afterwards too. It's like Whatever it is his delivery. We all just assume he's a teddy bear. I don't know but everybody just Likes his antics including me and like I said, I'm the guy who I absolutely despise Dylan Brooks And Dylan Brooks is better and like it's more like serious with him And I still like pat better. I don't know. It's it's just more fun this way Like a lovable nat and we love him for that Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna talk mavericks because they were briefly mentioned here the top of the show for just not I don't know what they're doing But the hornets were the win over dallas 1104 very undermanned hornets team by the way And it is dallas's fourth straight loss. We can get into the points I mean luka did finish with 40 12 and 7 kairi had 18 He also had a dude kicked out of the crowd But this downward spiral no matter how this season ends for them We are going to talk about it a lot. Who is at fault? Is it kid? Is it kairi? Is it luka? Chandler, you know, you have closer ties to this team than any of us Who do you think it's any of this blame? Honestly, I think it's a collective effort of all of them I mean, they have been in and out of the lineup with luka being heard kairi missing games and and this whole period of time Since the trade, this is a trial period This is a trial period for the dallas mavericks to see if they want to sign kairi Irving long term this summer And will it work? Will he mesh with luka? Will it will he be normal and not be a distraction? And it's it's a it's an audition for kairi Irving that he can prove that he can fit and if it doesn't work here No one else is going to give him that long term deal. He does want to get paid. He's turned down money He he's he's still young. He's still got a lot of good basketball years left So this is kind of a trial period now and they're now 7 and 13 with him since the trade And it's just flat out not working whether that's you know, the roster that getting rid of they got rid of dorian finney smith Who I think was huge because they're not good defensively and he was pretty much their only catalyst on the defensive end They shift him off. They get rid of spencer. They get rid of a lot for kairi irving's This is it's tough because this could go down as one of the worst trades ever if he just walks You know after this season and if they don't make the plan and this is a huge huge meltdown of a team Never all season long. We're talking about this plan. We're talking about the laker. We're talking about okc We're talking about new orleans never did we mention the dallas mavericks and the play in and now they're on the outside looking in With adding a kairi irving. So it's hard to pinpoint. You look at luke.  You watch the games. He's still playing good and there's times where this team Can mesh and they can be well j kids had his up and downs coaching these guys But you can't really blame one person in my eyes and the crazy part is this team is so talented That's the only thing giving them hope now and you can see luke is frustrated. You can see everyone's frustrated But at this point now, it's just get in make the play in and see what happens But this has been a huge letdown since that trade happened and it hasn't gone the way they expected it to It's tough watching them play because this is not a team that looks like they're enjoying coming to work every day And not that that's everything, you know, you could You could you could have a case of the mondays and still win basketball games But they just look frustrated and then when they talk after the game They sound frustrated from jason kid to luke to kairi all the way down the roster even mark cuban looks angry Like they just look like it's not enjoyable at all And I know a lot of people will blame that on kairi But kairi is playing well. He showed up. He's done his job. He's been hurt.  It is awful. I don't know how he's running up and down and jumping on a basketball court it's insane, but You know, that's his job to play through that. He's doing what he can luke has been hurt They just have so much going on luke is hinting at just not enjoying basketball He pulled the shot michael's and said they took a smile away and like he's got stuff Like it just seems like they all have just so much going on and they're just frustrated over the season Now does this fail the trial period? I don't know. That's from mark cuban and his front office to decide But it has not been great. I mean this is a results based business and the results have not been great But one thing I do disagree with what chandler said is like I don't think this is a talent rich roster and I think that's their problem dating back to when kairi wasn't on the team They put this roster together with a bunch of archetypes. They wanted to put shooting Around luke. They've tried the secondary ballhandler thing and that's something that I think you got to look out for We now have kairi and it's a little bit of odd fit But there's only been a few games spencer denwitte jaylen brunson going all the way back to like joss richardson They keep trying to find these point guards to play next to luke who can be the ballhandler and push luka to the side Sometimes they're in the game and it just hasn't worked like I don't know what the answer is there I always wonder about these players like luke like russell westbrook Really lebron is the only one that's able to overcome it That have to play a certain way and have to have a certain roster a certain type of teammates around them to be successful When you don't have the best versions of those guys, what do you have you have this pretty bad team That's falling their way out of the plan and we'll have a long summer ahead of them after this Yeah, the other guy that's going to have a long summer ahead of them if they they miss everything is shams I already feel for you because this is going to be such a long story. What do they do? I mean, maybe it won't be maybe they've already figured it out and they know what they're going to do But as far as missing the playoffs if they do shams, what will this team do next? Well, I think whether the mavericks miss the playoffs or make the playoffs or make the play in I think the goal is to just get to the offseason because getting kairi everyone was I think one step Of the process for the mavericks and mark cuban and getting a secondary star in there You have now you have luka dodge at you have kairi Irving They have three first round picks to play within the summer They have some some salaries that could be used in trades when you look at guys like tim hardaway jr Maxi cleaver potentially they have davis bertanz They have guys that you can go and trade with salaries and also About three first round picks that they can use they could have four potentially if they keep their pick from this year You know depending on if they fall out of the lottery fall out of the top 10 But I think when you look at this roster, uh, they have luka dodge kairi Irving jaden hardy josh green maxi cleaver Maybe dwight pal I think that's six guys outside of that the rest of the team could very well be turned over I think those are the five or six guys that you look at and say we want to keep those guys long term It's hard for you to build a really real camaraderie. I think a real expectation on this team When five or six guys are the only guys that you're really looking at Long term and when you look at guys at christian wood tim hardaway jr Both of their roles have gone up and down minutes have gone up and down So i'm curious from a perspective of internally. How has that impacted the group? Has there been complaining that's been going on as far as roles and minutes? Um, so I think right now the goal is to resign kairi Irving Use your first round picks use some of the salaries and get better and add to this team And like eddie said as I reported late last week kairi Irving has been playing through plantar fasciitis since march 8th Um, he really doesn't have a luxury to sit through that injury right now. You just place through it You manage it.  I'm curious channel Have you ever played through plant plantar fasciitis and what is that like at the nba level? I haven't joe came know of my dear friend. He had it and it kind of altered his whole career You basically can't put pressure on it if you can't It doesn't heal until you are completely off it, which obviously kairi Irving is not doing So it's a very very tough. It's nagging. If it doesn't just get better overnight You really have to treat it. You have to operate you have to rehab and you have to stay off it Which he doesn't have that option right now, right? And the only reason I do think this might fall on kairi Irving is None of these issues seem to be Broadcasted before this trade right luke dark. It's never said Not smiling. He doesn't like basketball. He's so frustrated That's all new him at least verbalizing that which obviously the only thing to point to is kairi from everything I know I don't think there's a beef. I think he actually enjoys him But that's that's the only issue is that the trade happened. They were on the rise Now they're not the only big difference is that trade so it's hard to not look at that But yeah, the fact that kairi is playing this injury shows that he's he cares and he wants to he wants to compete He wants this to work out Um, but that that's a tough injury. That's not just going to heal and at this point of the season It can't not play so it's it's tough You plant your fasciitis as a normal person is not very fun because like you can't not walk You have to move around all day long luke very much in a deja vu moment got his 16th technical foul Which means he will uh, he'll miss the next game should nothing happen. I mean he look he's known for this eddie Can the dude stop complaining so much? I don't at this point. Is it even possible that he could No, it reminds me of the marcus cousins which might sound like a weird comp But they just can't stop talking to the referees And they're just bothered by every single thing that happens on the court And it's it's a frustrating watch for somebody who's as enjoyable of basketball players luke is When you watch him and he's whining the entire game. He's hard to watch. He's hard to root for he's hard to get behind I don't think he can shut it off. I mean we we look at dremon He just got the suspension for the for the tech kevin was on his way to getting it as well dealing with books like These guys are just they're passionate. I know I get it and it's fine But yeah, I don't think he's be able to turn that off to marcus never could And and you know the thing about luke too is he does get a lot of contact He does initiate a lot of company. That's his game is to do that And so he's going to constantly be dealing with the refs for his entire career I don't think he's ever going to shut off. Ideally. He doesn't get the 16 every year, but He this is the guy. This is who he is the luke block yeah I don't understand this right like there's replay refs or human beings are going to miss college right and you're frustrated Like they just said these these players are passionate, but whether you mother f the refs afterwards or not They're not changing the call and these refs are like I said, they're human They're going to remember that and now luke is getting this rep where he complains every play he winds and half the time He's wrong and there wasn't a foul or he created the contact So it is tough and now to get to this point where it's is he possibly gets suspended Now he's hurting the team right now He's hurting the fans now he's letting down the the organization because he's not available to play So it's it's the money signed even here with with the referee I don't know if he's just doing that as in like i'm not going to say anything So i'm going to get fined but he's still got fined anyways, which is crazy Uh, I don't understand it But now when it's becoming to a point like dillard brooks where you're getting suspended and you're not able to Play for your team Especially in this time like in crunch time right now where they need every single game going forward Now it's a problem and now it's something that he needs to address He's young and like eddie said it's tough to watch man. You can't complain every single call. It's Exhaustic and there's 2023. There's replay.  So He's got it at some point. He's got to mature at some point and stop It makes a very uh likable player unlikable when when they do that By the way, it's weird that this gets you the same fine as pushing a camera man over and actually Hurting him. I think the NBA should probably look into that but After friday's loss to the hornets luka did have some words to say sort of along the lines of what you guys have mentioned I mean, yeah, it's really frustrating You know, I think you can see it with me on the court Sometimes I I don't feel it's me. You know, just being out there And I used to have really fun smiling on court But it's just been so frustrating maybe for a lot of reasons not just basketball That's just well, that's heartbreaking. Chandler. What do you think about that? Yeah Listen, there's a fine line, right like these guys need to play they need to show up They need to win games and that's what fans people media are looking at wins losses points. What do they contribute? There is a whole another aspect which I do get where there's this luka has a personal life He goes through breakups just like we do he goes through family issues And whatever he may be talking about and that's okay. Look look what Andrew Wiggins is going through You don't wish that upon anybody if it were to be true like and so these guys I think you know We're put on a pedestal a little bit too much where you're supposed to be this superhero Nothing's supposed to affect you clearly. There's something going on with luka We can point to many things we can point to the kairi trade how he's playing the techs, you know, mark cuba anything It could be we don't know and that's part of it And that's part of what you have to be as a professional athlete on the flip side Is you have to be able to deal with these things you have to be able to perform You have to be able to go to your job go to work and produce for your team and it's tough To see both sides right and then that's that's normal. You're allowed to have issues Kairi said like he was proud of luka for saying that and all this but like There's a fine line of kind of you know handling your own personal life going through all that But then also being there for your team and being able to perform perform and The everything's under our magnets a scope right now, right? Everything's under the magnifying glass Everything is because they're losing game. They made this huge trade. They're now out of the play And then and then it's it's all just coming to surface right now and it's frustrating and he's he looks beat up He looks emotional. He looks run down Something else might be going on with him. But As an athlete it is okay to go through that and that's going to happen You're going to have personal things that are going to linger into your career And it's just how you manage that and then what you do moving forward. So I feel for him because I've never seen luka like this I've never seen him that visibly upset and frustrated But I think the more they start winning games the more, you know The more he kind of gets back to winning ways that that'll all kind of help Hey, he's legitimately sad. It was just a sad boy up there Um, anyways, we had we had another game a spicy game young stars so much going on the grizzlies winning six Straight being the Hawks in atlanta jammer ant 27 3 and 6 desmond bain man bain's fun 25.5 assist Look Jaws back. Uh, and now I ask you eddy. Does this make memphis the most dangerous team in the west? Um for about two more days and until the return of kevin durant and the healthy phoenix sons, but And I mean that in all seriousness like we we still have yet to see what that full team looks like But we know what the grizzlies are and they are dangerous They are one of the more dangerous teams for all of the ups and downs they've had this season All the injuries they dealt with obviously the job moran situation They're still the two seed and they pretty much have a lock on it now They just continue to turn out wins. They have a great home court And one guy I want to mention who has been absolutely huge for them and it was a sneaky deal at the deadline Luke canard he's shooting 53 percent from three as a member of the grizzlies and that's an 18 game So it's not like he's just did that for a week and kept it pushing from there Had a great game last night four nine from three. He is going to be huge for them in the playoffs He's battle tested in the playoffs. Yes. He's a little bit of a deep into liability But when you can shoot it like that it does not matter We will put you on the floor. We will find out how to make it work Very dangerous team and with the ways the seeding might match up if the king's advanced and they get the king's in round two And then, you know, they're almost walking straight to the conference finals at that point If you feel like they're that much better than the kings But we don't know what will happen with the plan We don't know who they'll see as the seven seed could be the Lakers could be the warriors But they are very very very dangerous and they had their dynamic point guard back And he looked great yesterday and a match up against Another young dynamic point guard great game. Maybe you had a chance to catch that one It was a great really competitive game You could tell teams are starting to ramp up for the playoffs and the Grizzlies are ready. They're they're locked and loaded Yeah, I'm impressed with this team because when the John Morant situation happened, right It could have went one of two ways. They could have absolutely destroyed them They could have laid down. They could have thrown in the towel, you know, our best players out We don't know how long he's going to be gone But instead they they rallied around him and they all protected him the fans Embraced him the organization backed him and whether that's right or wrong or however the situation was handled This team I feel like grew from that and became even closer than they were And they are dangerous. They do have a star in John Morant And when Desmond Bain is knocking down shots coming off screens He's tough to guard Jared Jackson five block shots last night kind of controlling the paint And then you have these role players like Dylan Brooks like Luke Cunard who's shooting the ball great This team is very dangerous because they can score they can shoot the ball and they defend and they're tough And like I said, I feel like the the breaking point for this was rallying around John Morant They got their guy back and they're ready for the post season and they look really good I mean, it really was a bizarre stitch. It's just such a self-inflicted loss of your star player Not the normal thing a team has to go through every season, but Sticking with the Hawks for one second Trey young. It was like a sassy Sunday yesterday is what I'm going to call it Uh, this moment right here Saturday. Sorry. It's weekend. Um Oh, you know this got him ejected Do we have a reaction Chandler? Is that ejectable? I don't think so Did the ball like hit the ref in the head or something it looked like we don't know Obviously he's frustrated. He got the tee and again, this is kind of going back to the same thing luka He shot a threeer in this game and completely kicked his legs out in a non natural shooting motion And got a foul call and it was the right call So it's it it kind of blows my mind with replay and everything you have help guys still argue He's calling when it's right there on the jumbo tron in front of them. Um, but this was a little weak by the ref It didn't look like anything I didn't see if it hit him if he wasn't looking or what but obviously the ref knew what he was doing And he was frustrating and he was throwing the ball at him angry But I feel like to toss the best player in a game in a close game for this Is pretty wack. I mean his own announcer in defense of the ref. I think he said he fired it in to him Pretty rough there, but I don't know I ejecting him Eddie Seems like a lot, but maybe I'm maybe I'm just tougher than the average ref. I don't know This is like a weird ejection. We've seen a few times too Like where are we supposed to throw the ball if I put the ball down on the ground? I'm like I'm sassy too, right? Like I he threw it to the other ref I have to my velocity has to be correct. It's a really weird one and we've seen it a few times I think having to trade before as well through the ball It kind of made a bad pass at the guy's legs and got ejected It's it's weird if I just sit it right there on the ground I feel like that's way worse and way more sassy than than than that So like what is he supposed to do at that point? Just shoot the basketball hand it to a team I don't know what these what his options are, but I don't know the refs got a little carried away with this stuff this year And and we got to have some like, you know, we got to regress back to the mean at some point Yeah, we'll just we'll talk about this guy's boost of it, though This wasn't as bad as boost of it, though Like that guy was speaking from what I'm told he was speaking in Serbian to himself And they tossed him for that basically Tony brothers from the opposite side of the court tossed him for that And also because it's what I'm told also, you know bad demeanor bad body language and he got tossed So yeah, this is definitely an interesting time, right? Well, that's American paranoia whenever somebody speaks the language we don't understand We assume they're saying the absolute worst about us. I think we should probably get over that as a nation We're gonna take a quick break here when we come back the wolves Go one from the warriors and shams with the latest scoop on one of our faves Dame Lillard when run it back returns Warriors at home last night playing Minnesota, but a plot twist is upon us Warriors up to 27 seconds left. They turn the ball over and cat with that a huge dagger three Noz read with 23 points and six rebounds first team Go bear Eddie finish with 10 and 18 rebounds Look bigger headline channeler if you had to pick wolves come back or warriors collapse Probably the warriors collapse just because we have such high expectations of them and they're the better team And we know the potential that they have when they play but to to me I I love the wolves and I think they're getting their guy back towns who was my preseason mvp sleeper That's a big shot. They play hard Everybody loves Anthony Edwards. I love the addition of Mike Conley and this team is a dangerous team come playoff time where They're playing well. They're getting fully healthy.  So The warriors they they got to close this game out. That was a huge turnover. They're late big shot by towns Uh But I like what the timbos are doing it seems like they're starting to play well now and then fully healthy going into the playoffs This was an incredible game and the rare the ultra rare two teams don't score 100 points game And it was fun to watch. It was a great test match all night the the uh Timberwolves went with their two bigs and they had to deal with all the motion of the warriors offense And they they struggled and they figured out ways to hedge out to Keep roti rudigo bear active and and how to deal with draymond green who was an absolute monster on defense Against rudigo bear. It was an incredible game. Now. I will say this It probably should have ended in a warriors win because Mike Conley absolutely tried to foul step curry and then was kind of annoyed They didn't call the foul and then two seconds later draymond green throws the worst pass of the game And then they lose they also to to not get a shot off late It was like pretty crazy for the warriors but great great great win for the wolves great show of the potential they have Anthony Edwards didn't even play all that great cat didn't even play all that great But he hit the big shot late. It was just a great team effort from them huge road win I always I always kind of like seeing the wolves in golden state If you remember there were the team who stopped them from winning 74 wins in the 73 win season They gave them their ninth loss and that was their final loss of the year A cat was there. I ancient wiggins was there. It was a whole different regime But they clearly get up for that game and in that city and it was a fun game last night It was probably the best game of the weekend Eddie I know like I want to ask you this because of your go bear fascination There's seven seed right now right the only a half game behind the warriors The western conference is just absolutely drunk But now that cat is back and we're winding things down and we're almost if you if you look at the standings Do you think they can make some waves? Are they dangerous enough? I Think they are because they they defend and they work hard on defense They're coached up and and like I said, Anthony Edwards had a bad game last night He has been great for the last three or four months And so he's dealing obviously with the ankle injury is working his way through that But he's one of those dynamic isolation type players that just matters in the playoffs They just matter more. He can go get a bucket on whomever is defending him And that changes things for them. That's that something they did not have Before as they were trying to make runs and now he's matured as a player He's better than he was last year. They can be dangerous that that That grizzlies match up if they end up at two seven that'd be a fascinating series to watch and and they're As much as I like the grizzlies they're a live underdog out there in minnesota, so it would be fun to see Chandler we want to talk a little bit golden state. They are in the sixth spot obviously put some math together there Steph's back gb2 made his debut Last night, I don't want to say are we back on the bandwagon because good lord We've been on and off that bad when I get all see the long But what are you thinking? What is your vibe right now from this warriors team winding things down? You know, I think they're just fine and it's They they smoke this game and and this is a game that they should have won But all year long we've been saying we're not worried about this team Wait till they start hitting their peak. They're getting healthy. We're seeing clay Thompson bags. Steph curry looks great They're the jordan pool, you know, they're so dangerous and the minute they get andrew wiggins back and to what he was They're going to take that next step and when you look at the western conference standings Whether you are the six seven or eight seed you're whoever that's going to be We don't know you obviously because I said the western conference is drunk but I think whoever I am the six seven eight. I think we can beat the nuggets in a series I think we can beat the grizzlies in a series and I think we can beat the kings in a series So it's a very rare year where it doesn't matter if you're a high seed or a low seed Every single one of those teams is Capable of losing a series and it's not like these there's no There's not a Milwaukee that's going to win a 404 one or even a boston That's going to dominate series all these series in the west are going to be so competitive And so the warriors I don't think they care because I think they think they're better than all those teams Which is hard to argue that they aren't especially if they're getting healthy and they get wiggins back And gary patin's now back. They're only going to get better So I think they're fine. This isn't a team you worry about with the history with with how talented they are the way they shoot the ball Uh, and it's gonna it's gonna be fun Usually when the playoffs the seedings come out you look and like I don't even watch one of the series because It's not like that this year in the west because anything can happen I know I I said it a thousand times. I wish they started today shams You had a busy weekend a lot going on off the court. We want to start with damien lillard seeing Seeing some news there. What's the latest on portland and what they plan on doing? So i'm told damien lillard, uh, essentially has been shut down for the remainder of the season They had nine games left in the year over the weekend as they've decided to to put him on the shelf He's been dealing with a calf injury, but I think more so this is a team That's now four and a half games out of the playing berth with eight games to go They're essentially eliminated since february 4th. They've lost seven games when they've been up by 10 points or more They're six and 16 since february 4th And they also have a lottery protected first round pick in this upcoming draft So there is an incentive for them to get to the lottery keep their first round pick this year potentially even get into the top five top three depending on what type of luck you have And see either you draft at that position or you end up trading that pick But I think when you look at this for damien lillard You have to wonder if he's gonna play another game for the portland turblasers Just based on how how much optimism there was going into this year after they got jeremy grant The start that they had and now not making it to the playoffs second year in a row for damien lillard He's 32 years. He's 32 years old right now 33 in july So where is his future going to be? I expect there to be some real conversations This off season about how this team can improve and if they can't where do they go with damien lillard and his future? There are definitely a lot of questions right now Channel has played a lot against damien lillard. I'm curious what he thinks of damien's future in portlands Yeah, well this year I get it right there.  But the real questions comes this summer do they look at moving him Do they talk to him and have an open dialogue of what he wants which i'm assuming that they will right everything he's done How vocal he's been about being there and being loyal and not ring chasing that that's who he is I believe him when he says that But he is getting older in age and he's got to maximize these last couple years of his career while he's still playing at an elite level so It'll be interesting. I I honestly can see it both ways. I could see them getting a good pick and kind of You know building this team one more year around him and giving it one more shot Or I could see them maybe moving him And do put him in a better situation Which he deserves and and everyone wants to see damien lillard on a great team that's contending so It's tough. I get the decision right now Season's over. Why what why why even play in but it's tough because I had high expectations for this team With the you know with with jeremy grant with the core that they had I thought they were a lock for a playoff team if you talk to me in october Yeah, channeler mentioned the point. I wanted to mention this absolutely disappointing season for the portland trailblazers is and yes They had their injury issues, but so does every other team and they're not even close to a playoff spot at this point They're barely close to the playing and have essentially punted on the very idea that It's got to be frustrating for damien lillard. He would if I was him I wouldn't want my portland trailblazers tender to end like this But 10 games under 500 nothing left to play for and I'll say this. I'm gonna be the skeptic I'm gonna be that guy damis third in the league in scoring right now 32 points a game great season He played the exact amount of games you have to play to qualify for to be in the scoring leaders 58 games and then called it it called it could put on the season so You know just a little interesting little tidbit, but Very frustrating Season for that team and and looking forward to the all season It does you do have to wonder what happened was a dam because to be honest He's their best asset if they want to build for the future and he said time and time again He's not leaving. He won't leave. He's just but he's toyed with it as well So I don't know it'd be interesting to see if his name comes up this summer And if it does there will be a lot of suitors third in the league in scoring That's just I can't even imagine. I mean I want to because for his sake I'd love to see him play on a contending team, but I don't know any trailblazers fans And I would love to ask them if you're gonna be cool if this happens I have to believe they would be but I don't know uh shams the name we haven't said in quite some time Ben Simmons What what's happening here? So he has a nerve impingement in his back I'm told he's gonna be seeing some doctors this week as far as what the next steps are with this back injury that he's got now newly diagnosed but I'm told the expectation is that he is done for the year essentially him the Nets They're gonna take their time time has run out on the season. He has not played since mid-February He's gonna see doctors this week next week is gonna be the last full week of the regular season So time is beginning to to run out. I think on the on on the season For ben Simmons and now you look into the summer You hope he figures it out You hope he figures out the right solution with his back and he gets back 100 healthy Clearly, he's been dealing with some physical Level because when you've seen him on the floor He hasn't been as explosive as he's been at his peak when he went to three all all all nba all star games and Multiple all nba's defensive player that you're running around. This is not the same player Do you hope that he figures it out? You know physically and you know with all the frustrations that clearly have existed around him this season We're so callous as as viewers and fans of this league, right? There was time when he was the next great thing and now we're just like man his career's over uh chaylor What do you think happens with ben Simmons? What's his future? A buyout I think he I think the biggest thing for him is he's got to get rid of these expectations and with that contract Huge expectations come with that and I think the minute he gets bought out and he goes to a situation Where he's on a minimum deal where he's coming off the bench? I think he'll find in a little bit I think the the ben Simmons of you back in the day of you know All-star level ben Simmons. I do think that is gone But I think once he gets off this contract once he kind of settles in once he gets on a minimum deal with way way way lower expectations to be a six seventh eighth man I think he still has some value. He still has a great frame when he's healthy. He's athletic he can handle he could pass the ball and I hope for for his sake that he he does find that and and finds joy in playing the game because he's a thrill to watch when he's on And and he's a really really high extreme talent the things he can do with a basketball at his size are really impressive but The weight of this contract and the whole situation Philly It really took a toll on him physically and mentally and I think the moment he gets in that better situation On a smaller deal It's like a huge weight off his back and I think he'll be able to play a lot better basketball But I'm pulling for him. I think I think he's a good dude And then I think he's a he still has some something left in the tank There was a ton of optimism coming into the season from the brooklyn front office and everybody involved there that He could be the Ben Simmons of old and there would see that and it obviously wasn't did not happen He only played 42 games came with events for about 10 of those as well And that contract is an absolute roadblock for the nets going forward. There's just no way around it He's set to make 37 million dollars next year 40 million the following year. No options If they buy him out, you're buying out 80 million dollars That's a tough pill to swallow for an owner if you're doing that and you're leaving that void on your contract situation But if they can find a way to trade it because it remains a roadblock in trades for all of the guys on rookie extensions All of the young stars they would want to get if they're piling up those picks and trying to trade somebody somebody like a luka Like a car not many towns Bam out of buy like all these guys they cannot bring them because he's on his rookie extension and they have that weird rule So they absolutely have to figure out something to do that Whether it's just a cut your losses trade whether it can be a part of a big trade Or whether he's going to come back and be healthy because at the end of the day He does have health issues that hampered him and he has to figure that out I agree with sandler if he ends up somewhere else less pressure smaller contract less expectations We could see a much better player but what the net's got this year was an absolute sunk sunk cost And that's exactly what george nyang was talking about that interview You cannot have a 35 million dollar hole on your roster and the nets did all season long Can we get a little sunshine shams? Can you give us a little kady update? I've got good news for you michelle kevin durex is targeting return on wednesday against the minnesota tomb rolls He's gonna beat that three week evaluation that the phoenix suns had announced So essentially he he's been ramping up. He's been doing much more on the court Stayed back from this quick road trip that they had in utah, and I think the the next couple days today tomorrow continue to ramp up Feel better assuming there's no setbacks get back on on the foreign wednesday And we might see lebron james against kevin durant on april 7th in la. We'll see what happens such a tease such a tease What channel are you saying something like that? Pull up channeler. I like that Oh, you know he's going to take a quick break here when we come back Are you buying that tonight's matchup between yokich and mb? We'll determine the mvp race once and for all when we return Important edition of you buying that right now so the sixers in denver tonight. It's yokich. It's mb channeler Are you buying that this game will determine our mvp for the season? I think it definitely has some weight and we all remember this last time they played where joeyland being absolutely dumb And him at 47 And knowing joel, he's coming out aggressive. He's starting to talk a little bit more. He's starting to vocalize how You know, he doesn't know what else to do and how Listen, he wants to win the mvp thinks he deserves the mvp The teams basically have very similar records and they both have had incredible years as has yaas as had a bunch of other guys But it's coming down to these two and I think everybody's going to be watching Everybody's going to kind of take this game and pick it apart and I think both of them are going to come hungry I'm ready to prove that you know, it's their award to win. So it's going to be exciting. It's going to be fun I don't think tonight has everything to do with it, but I definitely think there's some weight and some impact on it Wow, these are the only four people we can even bet on it's important eddie Yeah, I think it absolutely has impact on it I mean, what are you going to remember when you're voting in two weeks? This is this is going to push it over It's that close of a race too. This this head on head to head matchup should matter at this point And I'm with channel I actually expect jello and beat the dominate and if they can win the game all the better I remember the joke was when he was dropping 50 last time.  So I expect him to dominate have another big game and and I'm literally betting on it In our next segment.  You sat down with mb for the athletic. What stuck out the most? Well, I think for sure he wants to win mvp But he is so he used the word winning like 15 20 times in the interview like he was Seems like he was obsessed and I think the pressure and the expectations that the sixers team has And we've been talking all year about this whole dynamic of him and james harden and when him and james When james harden left the team and got hurt. They were four and five He comes back there 12 and 11 and they've since been 37 and 14 with both of those guys They've really skyrocketed into a joel and beat. He also said everyone had to fall in line Once everyone realized this goes through me here in philadelphia It all fell through, you know, it all fell into place and we skyrocketed So that was definitely something I took and then listen There were some comments that he made about stat padding about defense that you can you can read into a little bit going into tonight's matchup As an mvp voter, I don't know how you look at tonight's game and not, you know, view it as as a potential Like if one guy outplays the other thoroughly and wins How do you not look at that with with a ton of uh, you know credence, especially with two weeks left in the year How much this game means this mvp race being so close. So Uh, I think it definitely matters the outcome matters how they play against each other really matters for sure Me thinks we'll be starting the show tomorrow with this topic All right, there we go. I'll be the bad guy. I like being the a-hole. Anyway, I like me I mean, that's the thing about him bead, right? Like he's he's pretty unfiltered shams I mean, I it had to have been a fun interview. He's one of my faves No, they're like five different times. I'm like, yeah, I love this quote Like I wish I could just write this up right now and just put it out But no, I mean he was like you said totally unfiltered you could tell he wanted to get a lot of stuff off his chest And he hasn't done that many one-on-ones this year, but I think it was good to kind of get him in that unfiltered position I've talked to him several times over his career. So definitely hopefully some comfort level there too Shams with the inside scoop. Thank you. Uh, as always, we will see you tomorrow We will be talking about these two guys for sure. But when we come back new week new opportunities To make you some money in part like I can't even stay with straight face when we return Oh Fandall casinos March weekly super sweeps is here and you can win a share of $300,000 each week from March 14th through April 2nd every Tuesday through Saturday opt-in and any bet of $200 or more gets you an entry to that sunday's sweepstakes drawing see fandall casino for more details on how you can enter the march weekly super sweep so uh, Wednesday's parlay I wasn't here. So I I finally don't have to take any blame. Um, but eddie yours Really just drew my attention. Uh, you had derosen with over 22 and a half He finished with four points and went 0 for seven. That seems like you should get a double loss for that I agree. I see michelle without your guidance here. I just had no clue what to do and Look what happened like the four points. I just It was I needed you here to help but this I'm strong now this week And I believe Joel and B over 34 and a half points. That's a big number But that's a big you know, he cares about this game like we just talked about I'm expecting him to score 40 again So, uh nice 33 point knight from joel. I'm sure I like that. I like that. Chandler I love that. I think joel cares about this more than yokas does. I think filly's Better teams getting five endeavor. I'm rolling with them. I also love eddies. I think joel dominates tonight I like that one. I like that too. Okay.  This feels good guys I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like we're going to get three big w's today Does everybody agree? Nice return from you I know No, no, the wolves are feeling good about themselves. They have potential I didn't want to say it, but that was the one that scared me too back to back as well by the way Shut up We'll be back tomorrow. I'm sure we'll get one of those wrong. Have a great night


What is going on everybody? Welcome back to my channel. For those of you who are new around here, my name is Michael, aka Dr. Chalini and I am a fifth year Interventional Radiology resident physician. So I just finished an absolutely grueling seven day straight stretch and it is now Wednesday, which means it's my third day off. I'm on my seven on, seven off schedule still. So I had a brutal seven days and now I'm trying to like kind of catch up on all the things that I didn't do during those brutal seven days. So I actually got called in a lot overnight this past week. And before that, I read a few comments saying that I didn't portray the real aspects of residency or the negative sides of residency. I'm too positive, I guess, I don't know. But regardless of how tired I was, I actually started filming in the middle of the night when I got called in and made a little video for you all. So you can't get any more real than that. And that video is going to come out probably this Saturday morning. So turn on post notifications. You will get notified when I post that video. Anyways, so on today's video, I'm going to first go get drug tested and that's what we're gonna do right now. Also, I haven't been out of the house in a while so it might be time we break these bad boys out. I haven't even opened these or worn them since my video which is probably like two months ago. So let's go ahead and what do you say we break these guys in today because it's the first time out of my house in which I'm not going to work. So let's break them in. So the real question is, which mask do I wear out? I have a few of these left over because we do a fit test every single year and for some reason they make you keep your N95 mask or throw them away. For some reason I kept them and I have like three or four of them from over the years. So that's cool, but I don't like to wear these outside. I'll probably just wear a surgical mask. All right, so I have this smattering of surgical masks down here. So maybe I'll just put one of these on real quick. The sad part is that these are used but what can you do at this time? What's funny is I literally wear these every single day but for some reason wearing them outside and the public seems weird. Like I'm just getting out of my car and I put a mask on. I don't know, it's a little odd something to get used to, I guess. All right, time to get drug testing. Well, it looks like they're not open today even though their website says so. So you have to make an appointment now apparently because this whole COVID thing is making huge impacts on everything. So even though it says walk-ins welcome I have to make an appointment now which means I think the earliest appointment is later today or early tomorrow morning. So that's unfortunate. I didn't wanna leave the house twice when I don't have to. Also, I probably didn't mention yet that this is kind of an essential thing I have to do.  Well, so the way residencies and fellowships work is that they give you about, you know, 14 days, I think they'll just send you a random email and say you have 14 days to complete this drug test and you have to do it within that time. That way, if you are a drug taker, you don't have time to kind of plan out your ways of pass this test. But the problem is I was working last week, I'm off this week and I only have two days until that 14 day period expires. So I need to get this today or tomorrow. If I don't, I don't know what the penalty is but I just don't wanna mess with that being as it's a new program and I just don't wanna start off on a bad foot. All right, so I found another location. Let's give this one a try, let's hope it works. Okay, that literally took about four seconds. And might I add, the lady who was doing it was pretty abrupt with me. She's like, grab the top, pee here, sign here, put your stuff there, don't flush the toilet, you're done, see ya. I was like, okay, so that was exciting. Now I'm going back home and that's pretty much it. So I just got home from going to the drug test. I didn't really talk about why I'm getting it, a little bit of touch done, but so basically when you start a new residency or even when you're starting residency to begin with, and sometimes in med school, honestly, you have to get drug tested before you start. It's just a requirement. It's not specific to medicine, a lot of jobs require this. I think I also got drug tested when I started my corporate jobs that I used to work in before medicine as well. So it is definitely not unique to medicine. However, I will say the experience at these drug testing centers are very unique. Let's just say there's zero privacy at these places. So you walk in, they're very direct.   And then they like mess with it and then you sign a few things and then they're like, okay, bye, and that's it. So it's a little awkward. So that's pretty much it. I know it was a super exciting day and also I apologize for how long my hair is right now. My hair is like probably eight weeks in, no haircut. I usually get a haircut every two and a half to three weeks. Let me know in the comments below if you think Andromeda should cut my hair or if I should trust her to cut my hair. Her mom or my mother-in-law is a hairstylist but I don't think any of those traits passed down to Andriana so let me know what you think. Maybe I'll let her cut my hair if it gets too long, who knows? And on that note, so there are a lot of people who aren't working right now currently. So a lot of hairstylists, waiters and waitresses, stuff like that. And I think it's important if you actually still have your job to try to do your part to help out when you can. Maybe send your hairstylist a tip or go support your local businesses and order something, get gift cards or whatnot. We try not to leave the house too much, maybe once or twice a week, like I said before but lately we've tried to order kind of curbside delivery at some of our favorite local restaurants. They even make cocktails to go which you may have seen me post on my Instagram page. And you know, help out your hairstylist too. I mean, it's hard for a lot of folks out there and I think we need to all do our part and kind of like pitch in and help everybody out. Little things go a long way in hard times like we're experiencing right now. So on that note, I also wanted to take this time and thank you all because we finally reached 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. So I actually started my page because of two people. One of them is Antonio Web MD which you may have seen his page. He has a huge medical YouTube page which I will link right here or down below. He actually reached out to me because I had a pretty big Instagram following at the time that was kind of my thing. He reached out to me to do a day in the life of an interventional radiology resident video which he basically just followed me around on a diagnostic call shift. I did that, I sent it to him, he posted it and it did extremely well on his channel. And I basically realized that maybe I should just do this on my own channel. If it gets 100,000 views on someone else's channel why don't I just do this online? And then also my good friend Daniel Choi, SpindockNY on Instagram, he also told me to start vlogging probably like a year and a half, two years ago because he felt like I would be good at it until finally once all those things kind of fell in place, I started my own channel. So here we are today with 100,000 subscribers. This is like, I think I started in September, October 2018, so about a year and a half, little over a year to get 100,000 subscribers. I used to only post one video a week but I started to kind of up my game recently. So whenever I have time, I'm just posting videos. So I genuinely just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart because literally this channel would be nothing without you all. So thank you, thank you, thank you. And I hope you all still keep watching because I will continue to crank out the videos as long as you all keep watching. So let me know in the comments below if you want me to do a video on a specific topic. I know I've heard you loud and clear about this mouse. You want me to do a whole video devoted to this mouse that I love so much. And I also may start trying to incorporate more like medical technology stuff into the channel because after all, interventional radiology is the most technologically advanced field in medicine or one of the most. And we have some pretty cool stuff. Also, medical technology is advancing so much every single day. So it's kind of a niche topic. I might start incorporating that to a few videos. So if you want me to discuss more cool like medical electronic things that come out, let me know in the comments below as well. Otherwise, make sure you smash that like and subscribe button and follow me on Instagram if you don't already. Turn on those post notifications. So you are notified when I post a new video which is usually about once or twice or sometimes three times every single week. And if you have those post notifications on you will know when I post that call real life haul video I'm doing this weekend. So look out for that. Also, thank you all so much for 100,000 subscribers. And I'll see you all on the next video.


Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader dot com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody is doing okay. So just to give you know how crazy 2020 is, if you don't think the universe has thrown enough things at us. I just got one of those on my phone, one of those emergency things, life threatening flash flooding. I've met in 46 years. I've never seen that, but that's kind of where 2020 is. Other than that, it's absolutely nuts. I don't think I don't think I could have been more wrong. If more wrong is actually the right way to say it. Unbelievable. So kind of let's review. So several, several weeks ago, we had this inverted hammer led to about a 7% decline. Another inverted hammer led to a 6% decline. And Friday we closed, well, in another inverted hammer. So I came in today 99% cell bias. Okay, literally 99% cell bias. I felt that if the market was going to gap up today, and we were going to gap up into supply, we're going to start rolling over and we're going to have some really, really aggressive pulls. It kind of sort of happened on individual names, but I couldn't have been more wrong on my premise. And the most amazing part about technical analysis is, again, is it 100%? Absolutely not. Is it 90, 95% to give you a clear view what potentially could happen next? I think it is. But the most amazing part of the whole trading aspect, and this is kind of what we've been saying now for years. Our job is not to be right. Our job is not to be that person on social media who calls things. Our job is to gather data and wait for that confirmation. And the most amazing part about it is, if this was years ago, if this was 15 years ago, 17, 18 years ago, I would have been really, really aggressive trying to outsmart the market. When we gapped up today, this was a pretty aggressive gap. It wasn't like a gap, 70 points, 120 points, 200 points. This was a pretty aggressive gap. And the most amazing part of this aggressive gap was, and we'll talk about the individual pivots. I lined up the day pretty much on the sell side, like everything we talked about today, for the exception of maybe one or two names, everything today was sell bias. Because again, I wasn't going to buy Tesla today up 80 pre-market. I wasn't going to buy Amazon today up 80 pre-market. So I had a choice. Either chase the price action, let the market play out and validate what I thought was going to be the right play. The right play of all the data that I gathered. Or I could do the responsible thing, not get blinded by the light and kind of wait for our spots. And this is what's great about trading. You don't need to be painted in your opinion. It's not about being right. It's about being profitable. And the most important part is, every single day, because I am pretty much going flat every night. The only thing I was holding for four days was my NET swing, which finally paid off today, which I was actually pretty happy about. But the idea that every single day, we're gathering our information, we have an opinion. Again, if you're trading without an opinion, you're trading in the dark. You're trading, you're guessing. You're trying to formulate an opinion on the fly based on price action that you're seeing now, not the data that you gathered from the previous trading day. And I've been saying this for years and years and years. It's okay to be wrong. Again, I'm wrong every single day. It's okay to be wrong theoretically. It's okay to be wrong on your premise. It's okay to be wrong on your game plan. As long as you're not sitting there anticipating and forecasting and hoping and praying, as long as you're not wrong financially, it's okay. It's okay. For some reason, a lot of traders, they're in the camp that they believe that they need to be right. They need to impress somebody. They need to be that really smart person on social media. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. It's not a contest to see who the smartest. If that was the contest, I'd come and last every single time. Again, king of the idiots. But again, it really does show you how number one, if your game plan doesn't get confirmed, there's always the other side of the pivot. There's always the other side of the ledger. There's another information that you can possibly gauge that maybe you didn't see or maybe you did some other circumstances that could have popped up that you can take advantage of. Or if you are a responsible adult, and if you don't see that happening and kind of leaving it alone, or you could just state to the sidelines. I thought today was such a tricky day because all I was sitting there and I was waiting for that poll, waiting for that poll, that poll did come. It did come, but it didn't come in the market. It came in individual names, NKLA and shop. And the most ironic part about the whole day, the only long position that I really liked as an entry gave the smallest move out of everything that we saw today, which was Roku. Again, I made like 70, 75 cents on it, whatever it is. But the point is the market was completely crazy today. I was literally so confused. I was sitting there. I go, okay, the poll is going to come. I can't find anything to buy. The poll is going to come. The poll is going to come. And all you saw today was literally the most incredible thing I saw today in Tesla, right? Continuation in Amazon, right? Just going absolutely nuts. The euphoria right now is at all time highs. I mean, literally all time highs.  So again, there's a difference between gambling. There's a difference between being right and wrong. There's a difference between being a trader or a person who buys stocks. Again, the question is which one are you and the only person that could answer that question is you. Again, this is not a glamorous exhibition of knowledge or sounding smart. This is your money, okay? Put your money at the most advantageous area you can. If your premise is wrong, if your research does not match up to the price action, again, either go to the side, act responsible, but do not guess. That's the most important part, do not guess. And they actually turned out to be fine, actually more than fine. But again, the way it got there, very, very odd indeed. So let's talk about this, right? So right now, for the one time, right? For the one time that we've closed in the last two months on an inverted hammer, just a monster move, 260 point move on the Nasdaq compot. Again, I'm running out of words, but just unbelievable, just absolutely unbelievable. I've been short, excuse me, I've been long. NET from last week, finally, you know, got upgraded today, Piper Jaffrey gapped up like 67 cents.  So we were long under 36. I sold the third today at 38 sold another third at 38 and a half. And my last third was at 39 again, $3 runner on NET. I'm okay, I'll be all right with that. But other than that, if you again, if you look at if you look at the pivots and again, guys, just before we go into the pivots, just a quick announcement. About a month ago, we did a Q&A and I know a lot of you guys are option traders or new option traders. If you want to check out, we did a Q&A with a panel of five traders, all different levels, all different account sizes that trade in the webinar, option traders, okay. It was a Q&A, they answered a lot of really great questions, kind of their mindset, their approach based on these pivots via the options. If you want to check it out, we posted the video about an hour or so on YouTube. It's pretty cool. It's a very basic Q&A. So if all you guys who are experienced option traders, they'll look for butterflies and spreads and calendars and vertical, none of that. It's very, very basic stuff. We want them to keep it as basic as possible. And again, kudos to those five gentlemen who took their time out to answer questions and hopefully, it's about two hours long. So hopefully a lot of you guys will get some value for it. It's in our video box, whatever it's called on YouTube. Subscribe to the channel and you'll be notified when future videos are set up. So let's talk about this, right? Again, very, very awkward day, but it is what it is. NKLA, and I said this, if you have a locate, I did not. And obviously, I do not trade on the option side. But if you have a locate or considering puts, if this thing builds below 57, it could flush. NKLA got murdered.  It broke below the 47 and went all the way down to 48. Congratulations to all you guys who still have a runner on this thing. Again, unfortunately, I just did not have a locate. NET, again, I put it on the channel on the 52-week high. A lot of us came along this thing. I've been in this thing for four days, finally got out today. NET, 48, 50, 52-week high if it builds. Ran up to like 49 and a quarter and then kind of died out. Boeing, again, this is a perfect example how you don't cheat on your entries. Boeing was weak all morning, traded down to like 181 and change. And I said, don't anticipate the move. Don't forecast the trade. This is a stock that at any time you get some order flow to come in, the stock just goes the other way. The next thing you know, we started seeing really aggressive order flow coming in on Boeing. The 195-weeklies, the 197-50-weeklies, the 200-weeklies, the $220-weeklies we saw. So I kind of like Boeing tomorrow. There's a couple of areas that I definitely want to keep an eye on for tomorrow, but it is what it is. Roku, actually a nice move. You know, $132.75. I quote a piece of this trade. $132.75, $133 needs to build. I was surprised. You know, I was a little bit, you know, a little bit peeved that it didn't go more, right? So here was the $32.75 right here. And the first candle goes to like 34 and change, right? And I know it doesn't sound crazy and it ultimately went to 36 from that 33 level, but considering what all these stocks were doing, Amazon and Tesla and Netflix, even Netflix got downgraded today, just absolutely exploded. I was, you know, I was really, I wasn't happy that I was in the one that just didn't explode, but again, may your worst trade be a green one. So Roku, it is what it is. You know, a nice little move there. Look, again, we were watching for that $475 pivot. Obviously never got there. BY&D, I still like this $140. Again, you can see everything was pretty much to the downside today. I was waiting for a pull that, you know, just never came. And even Tesla, you know, this is, again, this is why we do second entries experience traders only 1270 if it builds below can flush. So it takes out 1270 puts in a low of 1266 and rallies back. And that's, you know, that 1266 was the second entry for confirmation. Just again, it never got down there. Again, just to show you how crazy that was literally the low of the day. NKLA again destroyed take on the way down 54, forget about 54. This thing went down to 47. NET take on the way up. This is where definitely the biggest move of the day to the downside. Shop, 1027 if it builds below can flush. Shop got hit. I mean, really, really hard. Congratulations to all you guys who caught this thing. So this was the 1027 right here. 1022 was Friday's low. It took out 27, took out 22. I said there's a shot. It gets down to 990. It traded down to 983. Really big move. I mean, really, really big move. But again, considering what's going on the market, you know, pretty, pretty, it really did show a lot of, didn't really show a lot of weakness here. NET again, new highs. Roku again went, you know, went to that 36 area. But again, I thought this would be a bigger move considering still valid. Again, you can see there were literally all shorts that I was put in the channel. AAL. And again, here's shop. And I said, look, any clothes below 990 can get hit. Get it closed 9984. So I think there's lower prices there. Nice smack there. NKLA next support 46. Like I said, 990 might see that today. It actually got down to 984. So again, not the day, you know, definitely not the day that I was looking for, right, as far as value. Again, big, big moves. I was very confused most of the day. And again, I'm not, you know, I'm not embarrassed to say so. And the whole key to this game is to be mentally sharp to, you know, to understand and confirm the price action. Who cares? Who cares if you got it wrong, right?  So again, being right, it's like put it this way. Like last week, right, when we talked about the inverted hammer and we caught that big sell-off, right, the next day, doesn't make a difference if we were right. We were prepared, right? So going into today's session, based on Friday's, you know, research, I was ready for the rug pull that just never came. So it's very, very important, guys. And I say this all the time, trade the market you have, not the market you want. Stay safe. And the most important part is stay in business. Guys, have a great night, everybody. God bless. And I'll see you all tomorrow. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading. You're one step closer to owning your future and achieving the success you desire.

DCU Dance hosted their annual Dance Experiment Showcase here in the Helix last night. Universities from all over Ireland, including Trinity, UCD and Menuth, all came to showcase their talents in aid of aware. The All Ireland Dance Experiment began back in 2010 by bringing dancers from all over the country together to explore the link between science and dance. Seven years later, the experiment came back to the Helix on the 26th of October to continue this exploration with the added theme of evolution. The event on tonight is the experiment. This is our seventh year doing it in DCU Dance. So basically it's a showcase of all our squads, so our six squads in DCU Dance and then we get other colleges from around Ireland to come and perform too. It's not a competition, it's just for fun. The charity that we're fundraising for is Aware Ireland, so we wanted to focus on mental health and stuff like that. But I also have a friend called Aina Walsh and he has a little organisation called Bare Knuckling Bipolar and I was really good friends with him during his diagnosis with Bipolar, so we just wanted to liaise with him. So throughout the year we've got a few things planned like self-defence workshops and stuff and we may even teach the lads like a bit of dancing or whatever, but he's basically going to speak at the start of our event just to raise some awareness of mental health. The colleges will meet again at the National Inservosity Competition at the end of the year. Colleges such as UCD, Trinity, Carlo IT, DIT, College of Dance, Maneuth and Mary I joined DCU in the Helix. Vanuilla Walsh, DCUTV News.


Hi, I am Kanika and I am going to help you to solve the following question. The question says which term of the following sequence is B part is root 3, 3, 3, root 3 is 729. Let's now begin with the solution. Given GP is root 3, 3, 3, root 3 and so on. Let nth term of the given GP is 729. Now in the given GP, first term that is A is equal to root 3 and common ratio that is R is also equal to root 3. We know that we can obtain R by dividing any term by its preceding term or dividing 3 by root 3 we get root 3 and on dividing 3 root 3 by 3 again we get root 3. So R is equal to root 3. We know that general term of a geometric migration is given by Tn is equal to A into R to the power n minus 5. Now here we have assumed that nth term of the given GP is 729 that means Tn is equal to 729. Now Tn is equal to A into R to the power n minus 1. So A into R to the power n minus 1 is equal to 729. Now A is equal to root 3 and R is also equal to root 3. On substituting the values of A and R we get root 3 into root 3 to the power n minus 5 is equal to 729. Now this implies root 3 to the power n is equal to 729 and this implies 3 to the power n by 2 is equal to 729 and this implies 3 to the power n by 2 is equal to. We can write 729 as 3 to the power 6. On comparing exponents we find that n by 2 is equal to 6. Now n by 2 is equal to 6 implies n is equal to 12. Hence 729 is the 12th term of the GP. This is our required answer. So this completes the session. Bye and take care.


I want to talk to you today about an ability that you can develop and it's something that will change your life. I'm working with a few people at the moment on procrastination and trying to show them the importance of letting go of control over secondary goals in their life. So really our attention now is simplifying life because if we have any feeling in life that things are complicated, there's a million moving parts I have to take care of all these different aspects of my life, what's going to happen is the nervous system gets completely overwhelmed and then we shut down, we freeze and we stop taking, we stop doing anything. And that's because we feel we need to control all the minute details of things. What we are capable of doing is one thing and only one thing. So I get my clients to focus on, pick that one thing, that big important thing that I always tell them, identify that thing by saying to yourself, what is it that if at the end of the day I haven't made some progress in, I'll feel most disappointed or most frustrated. That's your thing. So you can be super focused on that, you can think about that, strategize about that thing and take care of that one thing so that at the end of your day, you're making consistent progress in that thing. But here's the superpower and it's very subtle thing outside of that time when we have clear boundaries with it and you have put that thing down, you've addressed it, it's done, it's ticked off the list. And now you're in a part of your day in which well, that's not happening anymore. That's finished and now there's something else. This part of your day has to be completely unstructured. There can be no rules, no have to do items and that's what many people I work with are struggling with. If you can let go of control around that, you will find that you will keep consistency in the one thing that you're primarily focused on. But if you start to really get into now your free unstructured time away from that, you're going to get into problems, your nervous system is going to shut down. The idea really, ideally, this is the way I explain it to people. Your number one goal, you're making progress in it, you're engaging with it and the feeling of accomplishment from that thing, daily progress with that thing should bleed over into the rest of your life in which you're feeling better about yourself in general and feeling more open to doing things that you enjoy. Now that could be secondary goals, it could be your hobbies, it could be spending time with your family. Now obviously spending time with your family is really a fundamentally important goal. I'm not saying that's a secondary value, but what I am saying is just in terms of to-do lists and things. It could be hobbies you have, anything outside of that. If you now start to control all those secondary aspects, they won't work. So what we do is we have preferences, we're allowed to have preferences for things, we're allowed to want these secondary things to go well. But if we micro-manage too much in this time, in our own structured time part of the day, the nervous system shuts down. So I kind of get them to do an experiment on it.  And they look at it and say, well, I didn't do anything.  It's all sorts of catastrophes take place and no progress. Whereas if they're able to say, look, I have no goal now other than to just relax and be open to whatever I feel like doing. If you can let go of it, if you can let go of taking these things off your list and having five or six things to do on your today and your to-do list, let go of that and now analyze what happened at the end of the day. Well, I had a beautiful time with my kids. I had a lovely dinner with my family. I felt like going for a walk and went for a walk. It was really nice, watched a movie. But things are happening in these secondary goals without any need for control over them. It's the need, it's the controlling subpersonality that we fall into that will get us into problems. And it's a practice. It's a letting go. You can still be super focused and unidimensional and narrow minded, if you like, on one thing and controlling on that one thing. But there has to be a part of your day in which you are not like that. Your nervous system needs to rest. OK, and if you give it the rest and go with your nervous system, rather than fight against it all the time, you will see huge, huge benefits to doing that. So that's what we're working on at the moment with a few people. And it's not that we're working on it. We're actually just analyzing what's happened. And we're just coming to terms with the fact that there's no denying it. When we let go of control, things work out. So that is the takeaway message from this video. You can be unidimensional, focused, but have a boundary with it and allow yourself to have no rules at certain periods in your day. And then watch what happens. And I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised and you'll feel a lot more relaxed and more, more good things will happen. I hope that was helpful and take care of yourself. Bye for now.


Congratulations! You're on assignment to the best Army duty station in the world. Europe is an amazing place with so much history. It's no doubt an exciting time for you and your family. But moving to a new place can also be stressful under normal circumstances. Add in transitioning to an overseas assignment along with the nuances created as a result of the current COVID-19 environment and this move will likely be your most interesting. I think my family has done 12 PCSs at least and we've had nothing like this to contend with. So here at US Army Europe we want to help make this PCS season as stress-less as possible for you. As our nation faces a pandemic, US Army Europe's mission remains the same, to maintain operational readiness while we protect the health of the force. Within those responsibilities we will continue to take appropriate precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus to our team as well as to our host nation communities as we deliberately and systematically adjust restrictions in a controlled way. These changes will result in uncertainty at times as national and host nation policies adjust to the dynamic environment. We recognize you have concerns. This next few minutes will help you understand what to expect along your arrival and in-processing journey and we will provide you resources where you can get more information pertaining to your unique PCS situation. Welcome to US Army Europe. Over the course of my 30 more than 30 year career of PCS, too many times to count and each one of them have absolutely been unique and different and this one I think is going to be exceptionally challenging for any soldier and family that is going to have the PCS there in this time frame. For a number of reasons. One, we're going to have a lot of folks moving all at the same time. Combined with that we are currently still under a COVID constrained environment that's going to provide some other complications so I could understand that families are absolutely going to have a little bit of angst as we work through this. That said this is the time that you know we really lean on sponsors to help us through this and chains of command and I will tell you the chains of command here in the United States Army Europe are keenly focused on this PCS season and there to help. We want to ensure everything we can do possible to make it the most stress less that we can given the current environment and so we here in the HR community not just at the user command level but across the European theater are going to do everything that we can to make that the easiest move that we possibly can. Flexibility, patience and constant contact with your sponsor are the keys to a successful move. Your first stop in your PCS prep plan should be the official US Army Europe website newcomers page. Here you'll find a list of commonly asked questions, infographics about this year's PCS plan and links to new policies. This is also the launch point to find all kinds of important information you'll need for your moved Europe. There are seven major army communities across Europe known as garrisons. You can link to your assigned garrison information source directly from the US Army Europe newcomers page. Each of our garrisons have different aspects of restrictions and local rules so what you might hear happening for Rylan Faults will be different for Benelux will be different for Italy will be different for Bavaria so if you have a friend that's going to one location does it mean that what you're doing will be the same thing if you're going to a different location. As you begin your PCS planning here are the top five issues you should consider as you make your plan. So Patriot Express is the DOD contracted military airlift and that is the primary method of travel for all personnel that's soldiers, civilians, family members right now during COVID. It's especially important for personnel to be using the Patriot Express so the safety precautions are there in place for you. You don't have to worry about calling a taxi cab you don't have to worry about will my luggage fit into the vehicle that my sponsor brings you don't have to worry about any of that because it will be taken care of for you. If you are going to fly commercial first and foremost you can only do so with an exception to policy that is signed here in Europe. You need to coordinate that with the sponsor to get that in place before you book your travel and then you need to coordinate with your sponsor on how you will get picked up from what the commercial airport where you land to get to your gaining location. Everyone will quarantine for 14 days or more in some manner upon arrival. How and where your quarantine is managed will depend on several factors including at what location you will be working whether or not you are single which includes those geographically separated individuals if you're expected to stay in the barracks which is determined by availability and great occupancy policies in each garrison. Other considerations are is this your first duty station out of AIT if you're a department of the army civilian or if you're accompanied by your family determining what your quarantine plan is starts with communicating your situation with your sponsor you can also find out more on your garrison website. A few key things to think about in prep for quarantine expect to receive a COVID-19 screening multiple times and testing in the first few days. If you're arriving into a commercial airport you're subject to current host nation screening procedures at the airport as well while most can assume about 14 days of quarantine you may be required to spend up to 21 days based on the test results and contact tracing. Your restrictions while in quarantine are individual to each garrison so it's important to check out the community website for details and finally while your sponsor will help you get anything if you need it it's best to make sure you have 21 days of critical self-care items in your luggage to support your needs during quarantine things like medicines or contact lenses masks for every member of your family soaps and shampoo and for those school age kids school supplies computers headphones plus entertainment like books tablets paper and crayons service members at their first duty station and others destined to be housed in the barracks you will likely be sleeping in bays or multi-person rooms in hardened structures but it is possible you might stay in a fest tent like structure so bring basic field survival items like shower shoes towels bed linens and of course toiletries to support your comfort and needs during quarantine there will be opportunities to restock but it's best to be thoroughly prepared upon arrival rest assured whichever area you stay in was designed to accommodate incoming personnel while abiding by the strictest force protection and physical distancing standards if you're traveling with a pet there are many things that you need to do that are not normally part of a pcs within the united states in the united states you take your pet to your next location and you don't think very much about it when you're coming overseas there are many medical and legal requirements that are very by each host nation and it is the traveler's responsibility it's the pet owner's responsibility to take care of all of that information in advance and have their pets ready for travel before the day of travel owners can get more information on pcsing with pets from the usda aphis website and they have the requirements outlined based on what kind of pet you have where you're going even if it's just within the states and what the requirements for that state or for that country is department of defense schools and europe leaders expect to start the 2021 school year as scheduled and in person however leaders are watching the situation closely and will be prepared to adjust whether the education health and safety of our children is best served by virtual learning or a hybrid environment if you want to get a head start on registration you can visit doors to upload eligibility documents including orders and amendments immunization records birth certificates for k and first grades as well as a signed do dia one zero zero two form request for student records the do dia website will always have the latest information and forms you'll need the garrison school liaison officer is a great resource to get information about the schools or to request a new sponsor for your school aged children your sponsor is the most critical link between you your unit and your move talk to them early and often make sure they know your specific situation when in doubt tell them and let them determine if it's important to your move and make sure you have a way to contact your sponsor while en route to europe and upon arrival in case anything changes consider using apps like facebook messenger or whatsapp to stay connected as they don't require a cell phone service to connect and most airports have free wi-fi you can use sponsorship you know for me i think that is the center of gravity for everything else that we do it is what we're counting on is for sponsors to be exceptionally trained and knowledgeable about you know all things sponsorship if we get that right i think everything else is going to be smooth it is the travelers the person on on orders they have a responsibility to hold their sponsor to a standard to answer their questions because the sponsor has the answers um and you might not even know all the questions so make sure that you're talking to your sponsor and that you're doing more research and that you're asking your sponsor more questions if you are married or you have a family request a spouse sponsor spouses talk a different language so you get a spouse sponsor connected to your spouse and let them get connected they will feel connected to their community before they even arrive here if you have school aged children there are also youth sponsors that are available through your school liaison officer so often we hear that sponsorship is a commander's program but how i view sponsorship it's a contract between you and the individual who has volunteered to assist you and your family members these individuals will be your bestest of friends on your tour here especially in your initial days i strongly recommend you ask as many questions and do not feel that any of them are too difficult or too personal or too insignificant if you don't already have a sponsor you can click right here and request one first off your arrival in europe depends on where your final destination is germany italy or belgium now these countries are where the bulk of personnel are however there may be other countries that might be your final destination your sponsor will help you figure out the arrival plans for you if you're destined to work in a country other than these three each area has nuances to how they bring people in to the airports you're going to go to what you're going to do within your quarantine restrictions whether you live on post or off post this that the answer is it depends so talk with your sponsors talk with your gaining units to get specifics to where you're going your sponsor will help you arrange for lodging in many cases pick you up from the airport but this is also subject to certain conditions according to your community quarantine plan deliver meals or purchase groceries on your behalf during quarantine if required this is based on many factors some hotels will have kitchens some won't and some soldiers will have access to dining facilities pick up necessities at on post facilities help you apply for housing we highly recommend making contact with the housing office before you leave your previous studio station the stop movement instituted earlier this year has affected thousands of soldiers and families moving to europe and frankly the world we already know pcsing is one of the most stressful events in a military family's life we want to do everything we can to make this pcs as stress-less as possible we promise you as we make decisions and develop plans affecting your personal and professional lives leaders across us army europe are dedicated to putting people first and communicating the plans consistently while helping you have the best move possible so remember the us army europe website should be your anchor site during this move we look forward to seeing you here soon take care and welcome to us army europe
