WEBVTT - Mac & Bone Show - Sam Farber Interview  

0:00:00.030 --> 0:00:02.929
<v Speaker 1>We are excited to get a chance now to talk

0:00:02.990 --> 0:00:06.460
<v Speaker 1>Hornets with our next guest. He is back for another

0:00:06.510 --> 0:00:10.900
<v Speaker 1>season of bringing the sunshine, baby sunshine, Sam Farber, uh,

0:00:10.940 --> 0:00:16.220
<v Speaker 1>talking about those one and Oh, one Hornets, Sam Farber

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>radio play by play voice of the Hornets is now

0:00:18.860 --> 0:00:20.980
<v Speaker 1>going to join us every Thursday at eight 25.

0:00:20.980 --> 0:00:23.170
<v Speaker 2>Sammy, what's going on, man? How you feeling today?

0:00:24.220 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 3>I'll let the sun shine in. You know, it's a

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.830
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a late arrival coming back here to

0:00:28.870 --> 0:00:32.170
<v Speaker 3>the Queen City, but it always feels good to be

0:00:32.370 --> 0:00:35.250
<v Speaker 3>on the plane on a win and always good to

0:00:35.310 --> 0:00:38.300
<v Speaker 3>be waking up with Mac and Bone. Plus, special guests

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 3>I've already heard this morning. We had Coach O on

0:00:40.380 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 3>the show. You had Charles Barkley. You got Shaq Prescience.

0:00:44.300 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 3>You got it all.

0:00:45.630 --> 0:00:47.409
<v Speaker 2>They've all been here, all the luminaries.

0:00:47.470 --> 0:00:50.460
<v Speaker 4>Sam, we know the current state of the Nets and

0:00:50.860 --> 0:00:53.339
<v Speaker 4>where they are in the East, and it is the

0:00:53.380 --> 0:00:54.020
<v Speaker 4>first game.

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Of the year.

0:00:54.380 --> 0:00:57.500
<v Speaker 4>But as we talked about on the critically reviewed pregame

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 4>show last night that you're a part of, how big

0:01:01.100 --> 0:01:04.450
<v Speaker 4>is a win like that to get things started, considering

0:01:04.870 --> 0:01:07.690
<v Speaker 4>how jammed up we think this Eastern Conference will be

0:01:08.150 --> 0:01:08.649
<v Speaker 4>in this season?

0:01:09.670 --> 0:01:12.950
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and in large part because everyone's trying now. I mean,

0:01:12.970 --> 0:01:15.289
<v Speaker 3>Brooklyn lost. I think I counted up. I think they

0:01:15.310 --> 0:01:18.530
<v Speaker 3>lost 25 of their last 30 games last year, and

0:01:18.569 --> 0:01:22.649
<v Speaker 3>I think they're disappointed they didn't lose more. Teams weren't

0:01:22.790 --> 0:01:25.580
<v Speaker 3>trying actively to lose, and that's not going to happen.

0:01:25.930 --> 0:01:28.679
<v Speaker 3>this time around. So, you know, I'm looking at the

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 3>box score, and Brooklyn, their star players at least, played well.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Julius Randle put 30 on the board. Michael Porter Jr.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.900
<v Speaker 3>got hot, as he tends to do. You can make

0:01:38.980 --> 0:01:42.150
<v Speaker 3>a strong argument that just from a counting stats standpoint,

0:01:42.410 --> 0:01:45.929
<v Speaker 3>the top two players for Brooklyn outperformed the top two

0:01:45.950 --> 0:01:48.810
<v Speaker 3>players for Charlotte, even with Nas Reed and Brandon Miller having,

0:01:49.090 --> 0:01:51.650
<v Speaker 3>you know, pretty strong games, 20 and 10 for a debut,

0:01:51.690 --> 0:01:54.190
<v Speaker 3>not bad at all for Nas Reed, I'd say. But

0:01:54.310 --> 0:01:58.180
<v Speaker 3>it's the collective that shine through here for Charlotte, the

0:01:58.220 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 3>depth of the roster, the depth of talent and players

0:02:01.260 --> 0:02:04.330
<v Speaker 3>relying on each other, leaning on each other. You know, Charlotte,

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.270
<v Speaker 3>you know, again, counting stats wise, they might've lost the

0:02:07.310 --> 0:02:09.990
<v Speaker 3>top two versus the top two to Brooklyn, but top 10,

0:02:09.970 --> 0:02:11.630
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't close. The only thing that made it close

0:02:11.650 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 3>was turnover. So again, I think every win is important.

0:02:14.580 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 3>We learned that last year. No matter what the situation is,

0:02:19.260 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>for 82 games, it always seems to come down to

0:02:21.540 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 3>one or two, deciding whether or not you're going to

0:02:24.100 --> 0:02:25.859
<v Speaker 3>make the playoffs or have to fight your way through

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.020
<v Speaker 3>the play-in. This is one the Hornets now have in

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:28.700
<v Speaker 3>their back pocket.

0:02:28.780 --> 0:02:29.060
<v Speaker 4>It is.

0:02:29.100 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>They needed to get it, but I don't think it's

0:02:32.340 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>crazy that it wasn't easy. You're missing two of your

0:02:35.060 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>three best offensive players. You're missing a leader and a

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>role player in Grant Williams.

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:39.780
<v Speaker 2>And you're right.

0:02:39.900 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>It was the balance and the depth of the Hornets

0:02:42.380 --> 0:02:45.950
<v Speaker 1>that showed over the Randall and Porter show for the Nets.

0:02:46.310 --> 0:02:48.770
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about some of those guys that contributed to

0:02:48.810 --> 0:02:51.850
<v Speaker 1>the five guys storing 17 points or more. I love

0:02:51.870 --> 0:02:55.150
<v Speaker 1>the fact that it was some of the new guys

0:02:55.210 --> 0:02:58.450
<v Speaker 1>that Jeff Peterson just acquired. You mentioned Nas Reid's game.

0:02:58.970 --> 0:03:02.410
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Grayson Allen scoring off the bench was so big, too,

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>with 21 points. What did you think of Nas and

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.620
<v Speaker 1>Grayson for a couple of starters here to talk about?

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>What did you think?

0:03:11.990 --> 0:03:14.230
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, Nas just solid as a rock, kind of

0:03:14.350 --> 0:03:16.450
<v Speaker 3>as expected. If you take the numbers that he had

0:03:16.490 --> 0:03:19.270
<v Speaker 3>the last couple years in Minnesota and you extrapolate them

0:03:19.470 --> 0:03:21.829
<v Speaker 3>over starters' minutes, this is kind of what you were

0:03:21.870 --> 0:03:25.110
<v Speaker 3>hoping for. And he shows proof of concept there on

0:03:25.169 --> 0:03:28.929
<v Speaker 3>night one. Plus, his playmaking, I think, has been vastly underrated.

0:03:29.450 --> 0:03:32.310
<v Speaker 3>He had a career-high seven assists last night. And, you know,

0:03:32.389 --> 0:03:34.970
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't like he was doing something totally out of

0:03:34.990 --> 0:03:37.410
<v Speaker 3>the ordinary. It didn't feel that way as we watched

0:03:37.430 --> 0:03:41.130
<v Speaker 3>him distribute the ball. He just looked very natural in practice.

0:03:41.780 --> 0:03:45.550
<v Speaker 3>Charles Lee's offense and clearly a defensive presence just his

0:03:45.630 --> 0:03:49.950
<v Speaker 3>size that they upgrade there in terms of physicality it's

0:03:50.030 --> 0:03:53.380
<v Speaker 3>noticeable so great great start for him and then Grayson

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Allen we talked to him after the game on the

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.900
<v Speaker 3>post game show and he was like man this was

0:03:57.980 --> 0:04:01.740
<v Speaker 3>fun like Musa is a monster and you've got Brandon

0:04:01.780 --> 0:04:04.130
<v Speaker 3>Miller that it requires all this attention I mean he's

0:04:04.150 --> 0:04:06.900
<v Speaker 3>just basically allowed to roam and operate and do what

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.180
<v Speaker 3>he wants to do and get to his spots and

0:04:09.220 --> 0:04:12.270
<v Speaker 3>knock down wide-open threes. What could be better for one

0:04:12.290 --> 0:04:14.610
<v Speaker 3>of the all-time great three-point shooters out of Duke?

0:04:15.770 --> 0:04:17.789
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for saying that last part there. Sam, what

0:04:17.870 --> 0:04:20.830
<v Speaker 4>is the— Did you pay him to drop that in? No, no, no.

0:04:21.070 --> 0:04:23.500
<v Speaker 2>It's not like his Lowe's threes or his Dr. Pepper dunks. Oh,

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 2>how many Dr.

0:04:23.980 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Pepper dunks?

0:04:24.339 --> 0:04:25.900
<v Speaker 2>It's not a bone Duke reference. How about Musa with

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.260
<v Speaker 2>six Dr. Pepper dunks, baby? I love it.

0:04:29.260 --> 0:04:32.450
<v Speaker 4>Sam, what was your assessment of Brandon Miller's performance last night?

0:04:32.450 --> 0:04:36.070
<v Speaker 4>17 early, only one after that. What changed in the

0:04:36.110 --> 0:04:38.310
<v Speaker 4>second half where his scoring slowed down like it did?

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.060
<v Speaker 3>Well, he was clearly the focal point of Brooklyn's defense.

0:04:42.140 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Even in the first half, they were throwing two at

0:04:44.020 --> 0:04:46.540
<v Speaker 3>him any time he touched the ball. So this is

0:04:46.580 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 3>going to be kind of the scouting report for a

0:04:48.660 --> 0:04:51.700
<v Speaker 3>while here, I think, on Charlotte, particularly with Kobe and

0:04:51.740 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 3>Con out. Teams are going to test him. They're going

0:04:54.140 --> 0:04:55.460
<v Speaker 3>to say, let's see if we can get the ball

0:04:55.500 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>out of his hands. In the first half, he did

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.419
<v Speaker 3>an excellent job getting to his spots despite the pressure.

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.460
<v Speaker 3>He got really, really hot there at the end of

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.159
<v Speaker 3>the first quarter and into the second. 17 points and

0:05:06.180 --> 0:05:08.300
<v Speaker 3>a half, that was awesome. And then in the second half,

0:05:08.339 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 3>he was smart enough to recognize, like, hey, if I'm

0:05:11.660 --> 0:05:13.780
<v Speaker 3>getting all this attention, I can go ahead and let

0:05:13.820 --> 0:05:17.300
<v Speaker 3>other people operate. And so, you know, it wasn't his

0:05:17.380 --> 0:05:20.190
<v Speaker 3>strongest three-point shooting night. They're not all going to be

0:05:20.230 --> 0:05:22.490
<v Speaker 3>that way. But he has proven over the course of

0:05:22.529 --> 0:05:24.710
<v Speaker 3>his career that if you play it out over an

0:05:24.730 --> 0:05:26.990
<v Speaker 3>82-game season, he's going to make 36%, 37%, 38% of

0:05:27.050 --> 0:05:31.110
<v Speaker 3>his threes at high volume. He's going to be north

0:05:31.150 --> 0:05:33.860
<v Speaker 3>of 20 more nights than he's not. And to win

0:05:33.900 --> 0:05:36.660
<v Speaker 3>a game where you didn't shoot as efficiently as you

0:05:36.700 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 3>normally would hope to, where you did turn the ball

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 3>over 20 times, and the opposition's two best players had

0:05:42.860 --> 0:05:45.610
<v Speaker 3>a really good stat line, that's a big win. That's

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.250
<v Speaker 3>something that most teams in the NBA are not able

0:05:48.290 --> 0:05:50.330
<v Speaker 3>to do. If they don't play their A game and

0:05:50.350 --> 0:05:52.710
<v Speaker 3>the other team's best players have really good games, you

0:05:52.750 --> 0:05:55.390
<v Speaker 3>normally count that one as a loss, especially on the road.

0:05:55.670 --> 0:05:58.150
<v Speaker 3>So I give Brandon Miller a ton of credit for

0:05:58.190 --> 0:06:01.700
<v Speaker 3>working through a tough first shooting day and finding ways–

0:06:01.890 --> 0:06:04.950
<v Speaker 3>to be a big time contributor towards the season opening win.

0:06:05.100 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you said that. Cause that's what I was saying.

0:06:07.220 --> 0:06:09.860
<v Speaker 1>Or I, that's what I saw too. Like when Brandon

0:06:09.900 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>hit those 17 points in like the first 15 minutes

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>of the game, it felt like the nets then realize, okay,

0:06:16.220 --> 0:06:18.359
<v Speaker 1>we got to make sure this dude doesn't beat us,

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.789
<v Speaker 1>make the other guys beat us. Every time Brandon came

0:06:21.820 --> 0:06:24.339
<v Speaker 1>off a ball screen, like you're saying they were blitzing it,

0:06:24.370 --> 0:06:27.610
<v Speaker 1>they were doubling him. I like, and I know Sam,

0:06:27.650 --> 0:06:29.990
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm, maybe I'm sunshiny like you.

0:06:30.050 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I, I want it.

0:06:31.270 --> 0:06:33.730
<v Speaker 1>Like I tend to look at it like, okay, it's

0:06:33.770 --> 0:06:36.409
<v Speaker 1>not ideal. Brandon scored one point after that, you know,

0:06:36.430 --> 0:06:38.870
<v Speaker 1>point early in the second quarter, but I tend to

0:06:38.890 --> 0:06:41.809
<v Speaker 1>look at it like, Hey, without two of our three

0:06:41.890 --> 0:06:45.710
<v Speaker 1>best offensive players, We still had a bunch of other

0:06:45.750 --> 0:06:48.180
<v Speaker 1>dudes that could step up and say, OK, you're going

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 1>to take Brandon away.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:50.700
<v Speaker 2>We can score like.

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.540
<v Speaker 1>Dennis Schroeder attacking the rack over and over again as

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.980
<v Speaker 1>they blanketed the shooters. Like to me, they yes, we're

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>going to keep watching Brandon because of the new contract.

0:06:59.500 --> 0:07:02.109
<v Speaker 1>But but you have to point out the positives, too,

0:07:02.140 --> 0:07:04.570
<v Speaker 1>that this team is deep enough with Kobe and Khan

0:07:04.630 --> 0:07:06.830
<v Speaker 1>out to still have four other guys to step up

0:07:06.870 --> 0:07:07.529
<v Speaker 1>and get buckets.

0:07:08.550 --> 0:07:12.470
<v Speaker 3>Totally agree. And not every team is Brooklyn where they've

0:07:12.510 --> 0:07:16.860
<v Speaker 3>got clearly two really, really elite scorers in Porter and Randall,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.900
<v Speaker 3>and then a couple other guys who are experienced, but

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 3>they play a lot of young guys. They've got seven

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.430
<v Speaker 3>first-round picks. in the last two years. They didn't play

0:07:23.450 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 3>them all, but they're playing significant minutes with these guys.

0:07:26.770 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 3>And so you would assume that a veteran like a

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Dennis Schroeder or a Grayson Allen or a Royce O'Neal

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 3>or an Oz Reed will know how to operate against

0:07:34.980 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 3>those younger players and take advantage of the matchups. But also,

0:07:38.500 --> 0:07:41.220
<v Speaker 3>it's the attention you have to focus on Brandon Miller. Listen,

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.540
<v Speaker 3>Dennis Schroeder is spectacular. I am in love with our

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 3>new point guard here. For Charlotte, his change of speed,

0:07:47.740 --> 0:07:52.300
<v Speaker 3>his understanding of spacing and timing and how to change

0:07:52.340 --> 0:07:55.430
<v Speaker 3>speeds out there, he's been brilliant. But I'm under no

0:07:55.490 --> 0:07:58.750
<v Speaker 3>illusion that it's just how quick he is. There clearly

0:07:58.790 --> 0:08:00.770
<v Speaker 3>were some lanes that he's able to take advantage of

0:08:01.050 --> 0:08:04.010
<v Speaker 3>because the opposition doesn't want to leave Brandon Miller alone

0:08:04.030 --> 0:08:06.350
<v Speaker 3>or doesn't want to leave Grayson Allen alone or doesn't

0:08:06.370 --> 0:08:08.590
<v Speaker 3>want to leave Nas Reed alone. And so that's where

0:08:08.630 --> 0:08:11.140
<v Speaker 3>the team aspect of this comes into play. And again,

0:08:11.180 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I'll go back to it. If we're just using counting steps,

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.500
<v Speaker 3>just using points, Julius Randle, Michael Porter Jr. played well

0:08:16.540 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 3>enough for Brooklyn to win that game. It's the fact

0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 3>that the Hornets weren't necessarily better 1-2, which they can

0:08:22.820 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 3>be on a lot of nights and will be on

0:08:24.260 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 3>a lot of nights, but 1-10, it wasn't close. The

0:08:27.380 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 3>only thing that made it close was the turnovers.

0:08:29.820 --> 0:08:31.610
<v Speaker 2>Sam, how about this nugget of information?

0:08:31.650 --> 0:08:35.069
<v Speaker 4>Now, I know that the Hornets are tied for first

0:08:35.110 --> 0:08:37.830
<v Speaker 4>right now with the Wizards and the Hawks, but as

0:08:37.870 --> 0:08:41.420
<v Speaker 4>we sit here in Mac, October 22nd, The Panthers and

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.970
<v Speaker 4>the Hornets are both in first place.

0:08:44.350 --> 0:08:48.699
<v Speaker 2>Oh, man. What a day to be alive. Oh, my God.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:49.860
<v Speaker 3>Green City wearing the crown.

0:08:50.130 --> 0:08:52.819
<v Speaker 4>Damn straight, baby. We get some walkouts right now. We

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.099
<v Speaker 4>get some walkouts right now.

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.140
<v Speaker 2>Oh, man. Stop the season. We're both in first.

0:08:57.260 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>It feels good. All we do is win, win, win, Boney.

0:08:59.900 --> 0:09:00.730
<v Speaker 1>No matter what I say.

0:09:00.740 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Hell yes, sir. Hell yeah. All right, Sammy. Well, so

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.660
<v Speaker 2>it's a big, as we wrap this.

0:09:06.700 --> 0:09:11.140
<v Speaker 1>Up, we know that Sammy is going to go into

0:09:11.179 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>ticket selling mode, Boney. So I'm going to lob this

0:09:14.140 --> 0:09:17.340
<v Speaker 1>up to you. It's like Billy Mays. Like you're Musa,

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to dunk this thing home. If you

0:09:19.860 --> 0:09:21.949
<v Speaker 1>want to check out the new look bugs, and everybody's

0:09:21.970 --> 0:09:24.050
<v Speaker 1>still getting to know them, right, without LaMelo and all

0:09:24.090 --> 0:09:26.630
<v Speaker 1>that sort of stuff, there's still so many ballers on

0:09:26.650 --> 0:09:29.890
<v Speaker 1>this team. You're going to have three chances coming up

0:09:30.570 --> 0:09:34.500
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend through Monday. Hit everybody with the info

0:09:34.510 --> 0:09:36.300
<v Speaker 1>they need, Sam, for this homestand coming up.

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, enormous weekend. It starts off tomorrow night, Friday night,

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.930
<v Speaker 3>home opener for Charlotte. taking on the Atlanta Hawks, one

0:09:44.950 --> 0:09:46.550
<v Speaker 3>of the teams that they're going to have to chase

0:09:46.590 --> 0:09:48.670
<v Speaker 3>down if they want to make it into the playoffs

0:09:48.740 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 3>next year. And in addition to being all the fanfare

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.580
<v Speaker 3>that comes with opening night and a home opening night,

0:09:55.179 --> 0:09:57.510
<v Speaker 3>Petey Pablo will be the halftime show. And you don't

0:09:57.550 --> 0:09:59.030
<v Speaker 3>have to take your shirt off. We're going to give

0:09:59.110 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 3>one to you. Free shirt for everyone in attendance. Petey

0:10:02.220 --> 0:10:05.100
<v Speaker 3>Pablo at halftime. It's going to be awesome. Then on

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 3>Saturday night, two of a back-to-back. It's the new look

0:10:07.980 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Miami Heat with Giannis Antetokounmpo in town. And then you're right,

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 3>three games in four days. It'll be the Washington Wizards,

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.020
<v Speaker 3>who themselves, new look, two all-stars on that roster now,

0:10:18.380 --> 0:10:21.140
<v Speaker 3>and Trey Young and Anthony Davis. Plus, hopefully he's playing

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.530
<v Speaker 3>by then, the newly number one overall pick, A.J. DeVanta.

0:10:25.550 --> 0:10:28.270
<v Speaker 3>So it's going to be a great weekend of Hornets basketball.

0:10:29.030 --> 0:10:32.550
<v Speaker 3>The headliner, clearly, Brandon Miller and the Bugs. as Buzz

0:10:32.570 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 3>City tries to keep this unbeaten run going to start

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 3>the season. And home court advantage has been absolutely enormous.

0:10:38.660 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 3>It was all through the end of last season. Hopefully

0:10:41.260 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 3>that continues starting tomorrow night. And tickets are available at Hornets.com.

0:10:51.490 --> 0:10:53.250
<v Speaker 2>We're calling him Willie Pablo for a couple of days.

0:10:53.270 --> 0:10:54.150
<v Speaker 2>Here's the problem.

0:10:54.429 --> 0:10:54.770
<v Speaker 3>Hey, guys.

0:10:54.950 --> 0:10:57.130
<v Speaker 1>Willie Pablo's got to call FC that night.

0:10:57.150 --> 0:10:58.210
<v Speaker 2>They're out in Portland.

0:10:58.270 --> 0:11:01.470
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think he can get there, take his

0:11:01.510 --> 0:11:04.209
<v Speaker 1>shirt off, and spin it around like a dang helicopter

0:11:04.270 --> 0:11:06.370
<v Speaker 1>and shed some tears. It's very sad.

0:11:06.390 --> 0:11:07.929
<v Speaker 3>He did not bring that up on the post-game show

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.030
<v Speaker 3>last night. I did not hear that he had a

0:11:10.150 --> 0:11:10.900
<v Speaker 3>prior commitment there.

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Very sad. Yeah, there was a lot of emotions.

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.620
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he's going to try and call the game from

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 3>our studio.

0:11:17.260 --> 0:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>He gets very emotional over Petey Pablo. He had to

0:11:19.500 --> 0:11:21.900
<v Speaker 1>make a choice, Bone and Sam. He had to choose

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.710
<v Speaker 1>the mayor, Brant Bronico, over Petey Pablo. And that was

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.770
<v Speaker 1>one of the hardest choices. It's like choosing between your

0:11:26.790 --> 0:11:28.829
<v Speaker 1>two children for you and I, Sam.

0:11:29.090 --> 0:11:29.670
<v Speaker 2>All right, brother.

0:11:29.710 --> 0:11:32.530
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey, it's good to have you back on the airwaves.

0:11:32.610 --> 0:11:35.429
<v Speaker 1>Good start to the season. And appreciate you, Sam.

0:11:35.470 --> 0:11:36.820
<v Speaker 2>Be good, man. Thanks for coming on.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.740
<v Speaker 3>Appreciate you guys as well. We'll see everyone at the

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Hive this weekend.
