Let's begin with the Wild. Last night is 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: forced to make a save in the opening seconds. Now 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: on strip and a break for Polding. Body's in a 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: lodo toll of p long. He's got. 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 3: Loaded and high lone. 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 4: Twenty three seconds into period two, Body's got a pair. 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: Had this game's tiny two. Then Carell got in on 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: the action as the Wild steels Kaprisof's got a man 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: wide open to Carol back to Caprice so many stores. 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: What a passing play, and the wild other first lead 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: as capriceoff tucks off his fortieth of the year. Here's 18 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: the heck, go Sean Hines. You know Vancouver came out 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: and played hard. 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 5: I thought we had a good start to the game 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 5: as well, and then you know, I just liked I 22 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 5: liked our mindset tonight. I thought that we were ready 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 5: to start the game and play. 24 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: The right way. 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: You know, it didn't. 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 5: We didn't come out of the first period the way 27 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 5: that we wanted to on the scoreboard, but I thought, 28 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 5: you know, in the second we started to push and 29 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 5: get going and then found a way to win it. 30 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: So it was good. Yeah, So Matt Boldie scores, Toys 31 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: call Caprice aff scores. Ryan Hartman also had to including 32 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: that empty netter. Wild win five to two over the 33 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: Vancouver Canucks. They clinch a playoff spot. And if you 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: like numbers, this Wild game was for you last night 35 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: because Matt Boldie became a forty goal scorer last night 36 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: for the first time in his career, only the fourth 37 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: Wild player in franchise history to reached at milestone. But 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: guess who else got his fortieth last night? Carol Capriso. 39 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: He scored his fortieth goal the season. So for the 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: first time in franchise history, we have two forty goal 41 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: scorers on the same team in the same season, with 42 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: Caroll Capriso and Matt Boldy. And if you want even 43 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: more numbers that Valu Quinn Hughes got at assist last night. 44 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: That was his forty six with the Wild. He passed 45 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: Ryan's suitor for most in a season by a Wild defenseman. 46 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: He hasn't been with us all year, Max, Wow, Haw's 47 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: it even possible. We got him in mid December and 48 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: he already broke the the franchise record for most assists 49 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: by a defenseman. Also, and this one's even more crazy, 50 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: he became just the fastest Wild player ever to fifty points. 51 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: He got fifty points in forty three games. He's a defenseman. Wow, 52 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: a defenseman getting forty three points or fifty points in 53 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: forty three games. So some big numbers for the Wild 54 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: and they I know they were playing one of the 55 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: team's worst teams in the league last night, but still 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: an encouraging I just I just had the effort in 57 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: the physicality was a little bit better last night as 58 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: they ramped themselves up for the postseason. Wild on the 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: road again tomorrow. They have two games on the road, 60 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: both at noon this weekend. They're at Ottawa tomorrow and 61 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: then at Detroit at Sunday on both heard right here 62 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: on the fan big bites, Max, your Wolves were hanging 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: in there last name with the Detroit Pistons on the road, 64 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: And then I decided to tune in and in the 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and then this happened. 66 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: Nah, it's against the sar tops it Buck close it up, 67 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: trying to attack his old this but quick squeeze it. 68 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: Jenkins on the move, Robinson the front down by a 69 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 4: sar TOPSI thirteen to two, where the Wolves are now 70 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 4: down seven, their largest deposite of the game. 71 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, the game was close throughout. I think no one 72 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: had had a bigger lead than seven points up until 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Detroit started to pull away. The Wolves 74 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: kind of made it a little bit interesting at the end, 75 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: but they lose one thirteen to one to oh eight. 76 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: So the Wolves now sitting at the sixth seed in 77 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the Western Conference. Here's a fincy. We've been playing with good, 78 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: good pace. I think we've been moving the ball well. 79 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 5: You know, obviously we have a you know, we don't 80 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 5: have a lot of guys who can punch the gaps 81 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 5: and get to the paint, you know, like you know, 82 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 5: maybe their game. 83 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: We've missed some really good looks too, you know, I 84 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: think we got we got to make those looks. 85 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 5: I mean we got shooters, you know, oh for six, 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 5: one for seven. 87 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: I mean this is kind of kind of every night, 88 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, when we're facing these numbers, and you know, 89 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: most some of them are good shots. Maybe some of 90 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: them are not, or they're at the end of the 91 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: clock or the tough shots or whatever. You know, credit 92 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: to the defense on some of those. So Max there 93 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: without Anthony Edwards last night with the knee pain and 94 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: also an illness, it sounds like, which is actually encouraging. 95 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: When I saw that he was going to be out, 96 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh gosh, we were back to the knee 97 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: stuff again. 98 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 99 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: Still know Jade McDaniels, he's got a knee injury and 100 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: a bone bruise. And offensively, especially without ant here recently, 101 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: they've just been a train wreck since March sixteenth, twenty 102 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: ninth in offensive efficiency twenty ninth and field goal percentage 103 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: at the rim twenty ninth and field goal percentage from 104 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: mid range and twenty fourth and field goal percentage from three. 105 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 2: My god, Yeah, you can just tell they look lost 106 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: out there without Anthony Edwards and they get into these 107 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: you just heard Alan say it. On the right there 108 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 2: was a thirteen to two run by the Pistons, and 109 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: I think they ran it up even a little bit 110 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: more beyond that number in the fourth quarter and they 111 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: kind of get into these I want to ask Dane 112 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: about this a little bit later. You know, the kids, 113 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: the kids like to say flow state. Now you know 114 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: that are flow state, you kind of are like unconscious, 115 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: you know, the wool and and you're just kind of 116 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 2: flowing you're going. But the Wolves get into these like 117 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 2: reverse flow states where it's not just one mistake, it's 118 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: like five or six compounded on top of each other, 119 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: and they dig themselves into these ruts. 120 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: I mean from an objective point of view. 121 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 2: Obviously I'm biased because I'm a Timberwolves fan, but just 122 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 2: from the outside looking in, in an ideal world, Wolves 123 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: versus Pistons would be the NBA Finals. I mean, these 124 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: teams are super close together. They played totally different brands 125 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: of basketball, and there's a lot of animosity between these 126 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: two teams because they only meet twice a year and 127 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: there was fights both times. 128 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: Ready to break out. These teams don't like each other 129 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: for what else else? Yeah, let's do it all over again. 130 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 2: And that could be something, you know, that bodes well 131 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: for MBA in the future, because the Wolves look like 132 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: they're going to be moving over to the Eastern Conference, 133 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: so we could have some more dates with Detroit in 134 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: the future. But yeah, they go on these offensive these 135 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: drive spells offensively, and it's just hard to dig themselves 136 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 2: out of this run and they have to find a way, 137 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: like Detroit is finding a way without their superstar kid. 138 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: Cunningham had an MVP like season collapse long out of nowhere. 139 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: He's been out, he's been out of action for a 140 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: few weeks now. I heard you guys got a scoop 141 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: the other day about Caid Cunningham from Mark Ross. 142 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: That he's coming back to Low. Yeah, some breaking news. 143 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: Scoops have to have a name drop associated with it. 144 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: That's that's the rules. 145 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: So but but they're they're finding their way without Caid Cunningham. 146 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: That's death by a thousand cuts with that Detroit team. Man, 147 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: they play a really hard nose, defense centric brand of basketball. 148 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: It's kind of incredible. They're the number one seed in 149 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. Center Bill. 150 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: They're twenty ninth in three point attempts. They play old 151 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 2: school basketball. 152 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: I love it. I may want to talk a little 153 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: bit of Tim Rowls with you in the two o'clock 154 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: hours of them, or may make a doing segment as well. 155 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: We'll do that. Big bites a potential Wolves opponent in 156 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the first round had a bad injury last night. 157 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: It's really become a wonderful player with the Knickson now 158 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: certainly here. 159 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 6: He really is a great playmaker in the short roles, 160 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 6: offensive rebounding, defensive rebound. 161 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: It is so important its and let's hope this is 162 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: not the He looks like he's in a lot of 163 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: pain outs and we just had JJ tellons before the 164 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: game that. 165 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: Because they have been healthy that hamstring. 166 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: And he was grabbing in the first court. Yeah, luka 167 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: Doncic last night, when he first pulled up, I almost 168 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: thought it was like Achilles. It looked like one of those, 169 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: but then he grabbed his hamstring right away. He's had 170 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: hamstring issues previously, five games ago in the season here Max. 171 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: If the season ended the day the Wolves would be 172 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: playing the Lakers in the first round, obviously, would be 173 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: a significant injury. Maybe if he's not playing the last 174 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: five games, they'd slide down to a point where the 175 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: Wolves would come play him anyway, but still a team 176 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: the Wolves could potentially match up with here in the 177 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: first round. So that's pretty significant news. 178 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And it's probably i mean, the probable MVP 179 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: of the League right now. 180 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: He just had a March, historic March. 181 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: I think that I saw that he scored over six 182 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: hundred points in March. He basically had a Michael Jordan March. 183 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: He was putting up the numbers points per game that 184 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: were equivalent to Michael Jordan's best season. 185 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: He was on probably not the same defensive player MJ. 186 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: Wars but not I get your point. 187 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: But he's coming off of one of the best stretches 188 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: of basketball of his life, which is already full of 189 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 2: a bunch of stretches of really good basketball. So it's 190 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: disappointing for the Lakers, but obviously a significant development for 191 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: the Wolves and the rest of the Western Conference. 192 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 6: Big bites, Twins gotta win. Why the left center field 193 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 6: slicing deep of the alley pack, it goes and matters 194 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 6: go on, Matt Wallner Clement sends it hight deep to 195 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 6: left field, citing Collins to the wall, and that is 196 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 6: gone and he will get in. Well, all this is 197 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 6: crushed out, too, White Beck. 198 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: It goes and that is gone. 199 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 6: Josh Bell was homer in back to back days. 200 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: Make that three home runs for the Twins here the 201 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: ninth inning. Yeah, Twins win, Twins win. They win five 202 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 1: to one over the Royals yesterday a Kaffin Stadium. The 203 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: highlight you heard Matt Walner, Cody Clemens, Josh Bell all 204 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: was solo home runs. Two of those were back to 205 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: back in the ninth inning, and some much needed offense 206 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: for Taj Bradley, who was brilliant again yesterday through six 207 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: score listenings, gave up just five hits, walked one, struck 208 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: out three. One of those strikeouts was a big strike 209 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: out of Bobby Wood Junior. With some guys on base, 210 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: Bradley bright spot on the team so far, he's your 211 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: MVP for so far. He's zero point eight seventy r 212 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: through his first two starts and the wit one too. 213 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: There's runners on base. He had two outs, the first 214 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: baseman should have caught a fall ball and just completely 215 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: messed it up. I'm like, oh, that's going to come 216 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: back to buy you. But then he throws the heater 217 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: one hundred miles per hour past Bobby Wood Junior. And 218 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: according to the since they've started tracking pitches, that pitch 219 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: the hit one hundred was the fastest for a twin 220 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: starters of two thousand and eight. I'm going to tell 221 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: you that was the fastest ever No Twins starter before 222 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight was thrown a hundred miles per hour. Definitely, 223 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't remember one in my life, and I have 224 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: a hard time believing back in the fifties, sixties and 225 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: seventies they were throwing a hundred miles pro Absolutely, let's 226 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: just throw let's just declare that was the fastest pitch 227 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: ever thrown by a starter.

Some bodycam footage just came out and Tiger 238 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: was after after the accident, was on a very important call. 239 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: Did you hang out down here with us?

If Trump was calling Tiger, is 262 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: it either a hey, I heard you got in an accident, 263 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: just want to make sure you're okay, just checking up 264 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: on you, or is the third option just they just 265 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: happened to be Trump just happened to call just to hey, 266 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: getting ready for the masters?

I want to know the 268 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: circumstances behind this call one hundred percent. 269 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: Maybe Trump had money on Tiger come out on the Masks, 270 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: coming down in the Masters in a few weeks, and 271 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: he was checking in to make sure that he was 272 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 2: going to be playing. But either way, that seems like 273 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: a little bit of overkill. If if you're Tiger, doesn't 274 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: it if to call President chump? 275 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to say. 276 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: Just a dui, but for Tiger Woods, it kind of 277 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 2: is just just another day or another day, slip his car, 278 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: get a duh. It seems like a little bit of overkill. 279 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: He could have called He's got a lot of famous 280 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 2: people in your contacts. You didn't have to go. 281 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: Into the big dog man. Yeah, he went straight to 282 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: the top.

I'm 306 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: assuming that's how it's pronounced. Bir space Tawil beer to Will. 307 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: It is seven hundred and ninety five point four square miles, 308 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: pretty significant. It's shaped like a quadrilateral, and it's an 309 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: area of land along the border between Egypt and Sudan 310 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: which is claimed by neither country. Both just between the countries. Yeah, 311 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: they're both like, I'm good and it's unclaimed status results 312 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: from a discrepancy between the straight political boundary between Egypt 313 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: and Sudan that was established in eighteen ninety nine and 314 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: the irregular administrative boundary established in nineteen oh two. Egyp 315 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: asserts the political boundary and Sudan asserts the administrative boundary, 316 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: with the result that the Hallibub Triangle is claimed by 317 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: both and burt to Will by neither. As of twenty 318 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: twenty four, Beer to Will, I don't even know if 319 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: said burt Will remains the only place that is habitable 320 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: but not claimed by any recognized government. So it is habitable. Well, 321 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: you'll learn more about that. You'll learn more about that later. 322 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: On January nineteenth, eighteen ninety nine, an agreement between the 323 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: United Kingdom and Egypt relating to the administration of Sudan 324 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: defined Sudan as the territory south of the twenty second 325 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: parallel of latitude that contained a provision that would give 326 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: Egypt control of the Red Sea port of Sukan, but 327 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: an amendment on July tenth of eighteen ninety nine gave 328 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,359 Speaker 1: Sucin to Sudan instead. On November fourth, nineteen o two, 329 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: the UK drew a separate administrative boundary intended to reflect 330 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: the actual use of the land by the tribes in 331 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: the region. Burr to Will was grazing land used by 332 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: the Abba Daba, a Babda tribe based near Oswan, and 333 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: thus was placed under Egyptian administration from Cairo. Similarly, the 334 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: Triangle to the northeast was placed under the British governor 335 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: of Sudan because its inhabitants were culturally closer to covertom 336 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: So Egypt claims the original border fromineteen ninety nine, the 337 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: twenty second Parallel, which would place the Halib of Triangle 338 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: within Egypt and the burd to Will area within Sudan. 339 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: But Sudan, however, claims the administrative border of nineteen oh two, 340 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: which would put the Halib with Sudan and burdtu Will 341 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: within Egypt. As a result, both states claim Halib and 342 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: neither claims the much less valuable burt Will area, which 343 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: is only a tenth the size and has no permanent 344 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: settlements or access to the sea. There is no basis 345 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: in international law for either Sudan or Egypt to claim 346 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: both territories, and neither nation is willing to seed Halib, 347 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: so with no recognized third state claiming the neglected area. 348 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Burtuwill is one of the few land areas of the 349 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: world not claimed by any recognized state. Due to its 350 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: status as a dasure unclaimed territory, a number of individuals 351 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: and organizations have attempted to claim bertu Will as a 352 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: micro nation because of the remoteness and hostile climate of 353 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: the region. The vast majority of these claims have been 354 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: by declarations posted on the Internet from other locations. None 355 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: of these claims or any others have been recognized officially 356 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: or otherwise by any government or international organization. So what 357 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: I'm gathering is is I'd read some other stuff that 358 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: people have tried to try to claim this area. Right, 359 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: just start your own country. One. It's extremely hot there, 360 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: like it's over one hundred degrees NonStop, and it's just 361 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: bare desert land. It sounds like people have like tried 362 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: to go through it and then then just like after 363 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: day one, like I'm out, I'm done. Yeah, Yeah, it's 364 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: so bad there. And then you kind of have hostile 365 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: tribes on both sides that are like stay out of this, 366 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: we don't want you coming near us. But technically it's 367 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: an area that is not claimed, and you could start 368 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: your own, your own country. 369 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: I think I think, first of all, I could get 370 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: the tribes to chill out. I think I'm a glue guy, 371 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 2: you know, guy, I think you know, certain substances would 372 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: be legal in Frozen Beak, which I'm going to call it, 373 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: which it's perfectly in Africa. And you know, judging by 374 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: some of the texts we get on the text line, 375 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm sure some of our listeners would love for me 376 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: to go back. 377 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: To that Africa. 378 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: Actually, Frozen Beak would have, you know, some legal substances, 379 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: and I think everybody, it could get everybody. 380 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, what else? Because right now I'm thinking I might 381 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: want to travel here? Yeah, I think it's you've traveled there, 382 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: by the way, because you've traveled like a bunch of 383 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: different places, like you don't do the cliched international vacation 384 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: and have you been here? I have not been there yet. 385 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: But see, that's what I'm saying is like all these people, 386 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: it sounds like they're trying to make claims from from 387 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: other places. 388 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: You got to get there. 389 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: I get down and darty, I'll put the sandals on, 390 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 2: I'll hop on a camel back and I'll go through 391 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: the desert.

One 398 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: hundred percent. I'm freezing all the time. If it's fifty 399 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: degrees out, I have to have a stocking capo. 400 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: You could tuck a little froll in the ears, you know, 401 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: you put the headphones in it, and if. 402 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: You go to frozen beak, you might have to shave 403 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: your head like me.

Well yeah, but 457 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: I did leave it. Uh yeah, it's just a one 458 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: game sample, so one quarter sample size. I owed a 459 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: Sounmu looked like the best player of the team. 460 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: He's been a great, such a shot in the arm 461 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 2: since getting him from the Bulls. He's a guy that 462 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: he was the man at Illinois. I think he's already 463 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: got his jersey retired, you know, all big ten type 464 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: of guy, and he's gotten steadily better every every year 465 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 2: of his professional career. We basically got him for free 466 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 2: from the Chicago Bulls and he has just been an 467 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: absolute shot in the arm, just resuscitating that bench unit, 468 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 2: which was one of the worst in the NBA, and 469 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 2: now it's It could be argued we know how notorious 470 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: Chris Finches for being set in his ways, but I 471 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 2: think a lot of fans are of the mind that 472 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: Io should be starting over Dante.

I t I 504 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 3: try to stay away from these back to backs normally 505 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: for that reason and to your point about the players, 506 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 3: so more importantly, because who cares about me? It is nuts. 507 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 3: Like when I do go to a back to back 508 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: and I show up at the stadium being like tired myself, 509 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 3: and then you're watching the players actually play and work out, 510 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: and like before the game or after the game, it 511 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: is I have way more appreciation for the difficulty of 512 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 3: passing backs that's doing this for a while. 513 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: Well, for me, I can't sleep on airplanes, so I 514 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: think I would have a hard time. Maybe they've done 515 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 1: it so often that they have just learned how to 516 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 1: acclimate themselves to it, but that would be the problem 517 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: for me. I would just feel like I didn't get 518 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: enough sleep because I can't handle the flights. 519 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 3: They got better planes than us, Well, yeah. 520 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: They got actual beds they're laying on in their planes. 521 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 3: I don't think it's beds, but it's the first classy 522 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 3: yet I think I mean at least more space, a 523 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: little different than you know, wedged in the middle seat 524 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 3: in row twenty eight or whatever. 525 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: Sure, the Wolves last night losing Detroit. Obviously they didn't 526 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: have Anthony Edwards or Jade McDaniels, but you know the 527 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: Pistons were out without some good players as well. What 528 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: happened in the fourth quarter last night. It seemed like 529 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: it was a pretty close throughout and the unraveled for 530 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: a little stretch there. 531 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's they're missing their their star player. I mean, 532 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 3: they're largely playing like pretty well defensive league. They're running 533 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: like they're playing the way they should be playing without 534 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards, prioritizing the things that they can do their roles. 535 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 3: But this team just lacks like a lot of offensive 536 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 3: juice when Ants gone out there. And I know that's 537 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 3: that's somewhat obvious, but you would kind of think that 538 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: with Julius Randall kind of scaling up to the number 539 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: one option, you got talented other scorers in nasried and 540 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: I would assume Nante de Vincenzo. You would expect that 541 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: this offense was a little bit better without Ants that 542 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 3: it has been, and they have like the second worst 543 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 3: offense in the league over the last three weeks. Which 544 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: is the time to answer an out. So to answer 545 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 3: your question, is the scoring, the shooting, the playmaking, it's 546 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 3: just dried up in the fourth quarter because one, because 547 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: they're limited on talent without Anton. Two to trust really good, 548 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: really good defensive team that's going to lock in. 549 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: In the fourth quarter, Dan, I want you you're an 550 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 2: elite NBA minor leite Timberwols one. I want you to 551 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: tell me if I'm tripping or not. You know, I've 552 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 2: been watching the timber Wolves for you know, since I 553 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: was a child. This year in particular, it seems like 554 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: there is you know, like there's that term flow state, 555 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,239 Speaker 2: you know, where things kind of are like unconscious and 556 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: you're just kind of flowing, moving from one thing to 557 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: the next without even having to think about it. And 558 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 2: it's usually using a positive connotation, but the Wolves kind 559 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 2: of seem like they get into these like reverse flow 560 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 2: states where it's not just one mistake, it's two, it's three, 561 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: it's four compounding on one another, and they find themselves 562 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 2: in these ruts that they've dug in that dug themselves in. 563 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 2: Typically it late in games, kind of like they did 564 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 2: last night. Am I to steal a bit from the 565 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: common man? Am I onto something? Or am I on something? 566 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 5: No? 567 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 3: I think you're absolutely onto something that is I don't 568 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: know what the term for that is, Like, uh it 569 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 3: when like the water gets in the electrical the short circuits, right, 570 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 3: a short circuit from periods of time. The interesting thing 571 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: to use the word flow, and you know we can 572 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 3: all picture that in all stages of life, you're flowing 573 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 3: and you're you're moving from one thing to the next. 574 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: Uh Like subconsciously that's the best version of yourself or 575 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: the activity that you're performing there. And that is So 576 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 3: what is behind Chris Finch's basketball philocity If you know 577 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 3: you've been at those press conferences when when the offense 578 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 3: isn't working, he describes how the team got out of 579 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 3: the flow flow based offense. Flow, flow flow, that's what 580 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 3: That's what he always says. And there's an interesting conundrum 581 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 3: between that being his belief and this group being kind 582 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: of the not smooth group. I think you can say 583 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 3: two different things with that. You go, well, does this 584 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: coaching style fit with this group? I think in some 585 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: ways that coaching style stabilizes this group. I think they 586 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 3: sort circum more frequently if it weren't for kind of 587 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 3: this flow based system. But I don't know, people could 588 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: could argue the opposite of like maybe this team doesn't 589 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 3: need more structure. I know I've argued that from time 590 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: to time. 591 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: So Anthony Edward's knee injury but also just sounds like 592 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: he was sick last night and he sounds like he's 593 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: questionable for tonight as well, So made it's more illness 594 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: than knee injury, but you know he's had some injury issues. 595 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: Jade McDaniels is out here for a little bit of stretch. 596 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: What does your concern come playoff time about the availability 597 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: of these two and what percent of the health we're 598 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: going to get out of these two. 599 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 3: Honestly, Mat, I'm not too worried injury wise about either 600 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 3: of them. Ants sting, like you said, is illness the knee. 601 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 3: I mean, he's still on like a recovery plan from 602 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 3: the knee. He was on a minute restriction on Monday, 603 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 3: but he sat out last night because of an illness. 604 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 3: So Ant you can largely view as healthy right now, 605 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 3: you know, and for the playoffs healthy. And Jaden McDaniels 606 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: he's got this bone bruise. Don't know exactly, but I 607 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 3: do think we can kind of expect him to be 608 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 3: back healthy by the playoffs as well. So I wouldn't 609 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 3: worry so much about those of you guys. The one 610 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 3: dude I'm worried about is nas nos read from an 611 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: injury standpoint, he's got this like shoulder nerve and pingement 612 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: type deal, something that's really been lingering with his shoulder 613 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 3: that just like aggravated pretty much every game and he's 614 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: just trying to gut that out. I think I don't 615 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 3: know this, but I'm maybe it's something that needs to 616 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: be like addressed with the surgery in the summer. So 617 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: he's gonna pay. He's been playing through it. He's gonna 618 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: play through it, and that gives me, you know, some 619 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 3: concern about ditting the best version of him in the playoffs. 620 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 3: For Anton Jayden, they got a week of practice before 621 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 3: the playoffs. Like, I think both of them will be 622 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 3: good from a health standpoint. 623 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 2: H Dane, it was an interesting matchup last night, not 624 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: just because the Pistons are an interesting team, but they 625 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: play a totally different brand of basketball than the Timberwolves 626 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: and honestly a lot of the NBA. They're the number 627 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 2: one seed in the Eastern Conference and they're twenty ninth 628 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: in three point attempts. I mean, they're a team that 629 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: just kind of kills you in the paint death by 630 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: a thousand cuts, especially with Nokid Cunningham in the mix there. 631 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: The Wolves are obviously in a similar position, missing their 632 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: star player for not an extended period of time, but 633 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 2: for a decent amount of time. Is there anything you 634 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: think that this Wolves team could learn from that Pistons team. 635 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 3: I think that's the best version of this team with 636 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 3: this Wolve's teams. When they are playing physical they do. 637 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 3: They do struggle against physicality, big teams like like who 638 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 3: they played last night, like when they played like Darreon 639 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: Jackson Junior and Memphis a few times. I really look 640 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: at the physicality like collision to be about Julius Randall 641 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 3: and who how big and who's guarding him on the 642 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 3: other side. The last night it was Jalen Duran. Often 643 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 3: who's this hulking you know, twenty two year old stud 644 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: coming up for Detroit And and that becomes the collision 645 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 3: is the Wolf's physicality versus the opponent's physicality. And when 646 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 3: the Wolves are winning that battle, it makes such a 647 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 3: difference because when they lose the physicality battle, it's like 648 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 3: totally the rails their offense. And I think that's when 649 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 3: we kind of get to some of those those short circuits. 650 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 3: But are you gonna be playing tough teams in the playoffs? Man? 651 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 3: We know from Oklahoma City is like that last year 652 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. If they get them again, they are 653 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 3: going to be just as physical as as Detroit is. 654 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, this this most team needs to play it's 655 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: more physical brand of basketball in the playoffs, and you know, 656 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 3: you don't always see that from teams in the regular season. 657 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 3: I do think we'll see a more physical version of 658 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: the Wolves. We'll certainly see a physical version of the 659 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 3: Wolves in the playoffs that they plan on winning in a. 660 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: Series or two. Dane. I mentioned this with Max's last 661 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: segment that I watched a good chunk of the fourth 662 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: quarter last night and the guy who popped out to 663 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: me was ioed soon MoU, wondering your thoughts on how 664 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: he has played since being acquired from the Chicago Bulls 665 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: and how is he how has he assimilated himself with 666 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: this roster. 667 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 3: He's really smart and he's really fast man, and I 668 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 3: think both of those things this team was a little 669 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 3: devoid of prior to Dissums acquisition. He really he's really 670 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 3: pulling this team like kind of by himself to play faster. 671 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 3: You know, I mentioned the Wolves have one of the 672 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: worst offenses since Antepin out. They do have they are 673 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 3: playing the fastest of any team since in the NBA, 674 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 3: and they last three weeks since Ant's been out, And 675 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 3: that's that's Io and that's leading the way. That's a 676 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 3: good thing for him to do. We Ant and Julius 677 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 3: had to like slow down in the half court, right. 678 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: They want to like square you up. They want to 679 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 3: assess the assess the floor and then attack themselves. I 680 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 3: doesn't wait because he can't really break you down like 681 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 3: that in the way that answer. Julius cans and he 682 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 3: is just sprinting and guys like nas Reed and bone 683 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 3: Piland are running with him, forcing Aunt to run with him, 684 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 3: Julius to run with them. Those guys don't like to run. 685 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: And Iowa has really been contagious I think from a 686 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 3: speed standpoint with this team. And then yeah, like I said, 687 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: he's just sharp. He I think he's just like one 688 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 3: of those guys where you can tell like he gets it. 689 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 3: There aren't there aren't the mental lapses. So for me personally, 690 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 3: like he just in this last week, he's really leveled 691 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 3: up another level in my mind of just something I 692 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 3: didn't think I was going to see this season from him. 693 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 3: You know, maybe maybe down the line that kid's gonna 694 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 3: get paid this summer. I think I think it's gonna 695 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: think he's going to be a big piece of the future. 696 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 2: Sticking with Io Dane, we know that Chris Finch is 697 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: pretty notoriously stuck in his ways when it comes to lineups. 698 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 2: But I think a lot of fans just watching these 699 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 2: games are of the mind state, not just because Io 700 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 2: has been balling, he's been on another level and taking 701 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 2: even another step, still ascending throughout the season, but also 702 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 2: on the flip side of that coin, conversely, is that 703 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: Dante has really been struggling. Is there any chance at 704 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 2: all do you think that those two kind of swap 705 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 2: places and Io starts and Dante comes off the bench. 706 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: I know it's not realistic, but do you think he 707 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 2: should maybe? 708 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I think at some point we're going to 709 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 3: run into that collision. I would assume it's next season 710 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 3: that you kind of square that up, because I know 711 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 3: it was very important for Dante really tourished that the 712 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 3: starter role this season, and I think you would he 713 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 3: would be upset, you know, after being the starter for 714 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 3: the majority of the season that had that I've taken away. 715 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 3: Now I was gonna roll our eyes at that, But 716 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 3: I'm telling you that's the reality of the situation there. 717 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 3: So so you're navigating some of that is finch, and 718 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 3: I think the best way to just just handle out 719 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: without ruffling too many feathers is just make sure IOW 720 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 3: is getting a lot of minutes, you know, just even 721 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 3: it's not about the five guys who start. People say 722 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 3: it's about the five guys who close. I think it's 723 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 3: about the five guys who play the most minutes during 724 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 3: the game, you know. That's like, I think that's what 725 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 3: we're talking about with the starting five, and Io definitely 726 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 3: deserves to be in that group. So I think sacrifices 727 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,240 Speaker 3: need to be made, whether it's Dante, but maybe split 728 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 3: out throughout the whole, the whole lineup, just to make 729 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: sure there's a room for I would assuming to be playing, 730 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 3: you know, close to thirty minutes to night, even if 731 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 3: that's nas Reed who has to give up a few minutes, 732 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 3: Like I do, think Io has passed nods at least 733 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 3: this version of Nas that's banged up and struggling, and 734 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 3: I think Io's a sixth man now and NOAs kind 735 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 3: of slots into that seventh spot when they're fully healthy. 736 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: We're talking with Dane Moore of the Dane Moore Podcast. 737 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: Wolves are in Philadelphia to night, six o'clock start. You 738 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: can hear that game right here on the fan. Let's 739 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: talk about one of the polarizing guys, Dane. That would 740 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: be Rudy Gobert. You know, as a very very casual 741 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: basketball fan, I never know how I'm supposed to evaluate 742 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert. I've seen lots of stats about how great 743 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: he's been defensively, especially one on one, and he had 744 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: the big block against Durantula the other day. But then 745 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: there's also moments like I'm watching last night and when 746 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: there's key, key moments in the fourth quarter, he's not 747 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: on the floor in the playoffs last year, key moments 748 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, is not on the floor. How 749 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 1: do I evaluate the importance of Rudy Gobert on this team? 750 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, whenever he's not on the floor, kind of because 751 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 3: he's not helping on offense. Yeah, there's a whole bunch 752 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 3: of stuff about you know, back when he was in Utah, 753 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 3: defense will get exposed in the playoffs. Put him in space, 754 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 3: can't move his feet like that. Stuff is not real. 755 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 3: Because somebody starts explaining that, explaining that it's team that 756 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert is off the floor for like for a 757 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 3: prolonged period of time for defensive reasons, they don't know 758 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 3: what they're talking about. The issue with Rudy Gobert is 759 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,760 Speaker 3: and always has been, when teams try to go maybe 760 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 3: smaller in the playoffs, it's his inability to be able 761 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 3: to punish that on offense. If the team wants to 762 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 3: put five six foot six guys out there seven foot two, 763 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert needs to punish that. He needs to get 764 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 3: every offensive rebound he needs. If you need to be 765 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 3: able to dump the ball into him, you need be 766 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 3: allue of fits to him, you need you need him 767 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 3: to dominate, and Rudy does not consistently dominate in those positions. 768 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 3: Sometimes he does Game five against the Lakers in the 769 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 3: first runt of the playoffs last season, it's twenty seven 770 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 3: points and twenty four rebounks. When they went small. They 771 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 3: need something close to that from Rudy all the time. Otherwise, 772 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 3: like you talk about last night, he's just not going 773 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 3: to be out there. He's just not going to be 774 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 3: out there on the floor in the fourth quarter if 775 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 3: they're not getting that dominance from him, because what Finch 776 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 3: has shown a pattern to do is he's just going 777 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 3: to pursue offense and he's going to put nas out 778 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 3: there and it's going to be Julius Randall and Nasri 779 00:36:55,840 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 3: in the front court. Rudy, if he plays offense, if 780 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 3: he punish it, if he uses his size, then he 781 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 3: can stay on the floor. And that's the dream for 782 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 3: the Wolves because he can stay on the floor the 783 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,040 Speaker 3: whole time, they're going to play awesome defense against whoever 784 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,879 Speaker 3: they play. So it's a huge conundrum with this team. Man, 785 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 3: it's the balance of both sides of the ball, and 786 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 3: it comes and goes with the Wolves and Rudy there. 787 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 2: In a similar vein there, Dane, what's going on with 788 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 2: the Wolves rebounding. I know it's something that the team 789 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 2: has emphasized internally. Chris Finch has spoken on it, a 790 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 2: lot of the players have spoken on it, but it 791 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 2: hasn't really necessarily improved, and it seems to be kind 792 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 2: of a huge weakness of this team heading into the playoffs. 793 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say a huge week now, so I think 794 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 3: they generally rebound pretty well. I mean, Rudy is is 795 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 3: a great rebounder broadly speaking, but I know you're talking 796 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 3: about there's these periods of time where it does feel 797 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 3: like a problem where you look at the stats at 798 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 3: the end, and where that's really coming from is in 799 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 3: the minutes when Rudy isn't out there, Nasried or Julius 800 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 3: Randall have to play tenner either them are centers. They're 801 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 3: just not that big, they're not that long, They're not 802 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 3: that physical to be able to be high level, you know, 803 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 3: defensive rebounder. So they lose those a lot. Those guards 804 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 3: also got rebound well, like ant is not a not 805 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 3: a strong defensive rebounder. They need him and Dante DiVincenzo 806 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 3: and I would assume to like fly in from the 807 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 3: perimeter and get a defensive rebound and grab it and go. 808 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 3: And that just hasn't That isn't like deep into the 809 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 3: wolve's identity of how they play. And it's another reason 810 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 3: that they short circuit that we're talking about before. It's 811 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 3: like you just if they just decided not rebound for 812 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 3: eight minutes, like you know what it's gonna be, and 813 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 3: it's just gonna be a rough to be a rough 814 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 3: stretch there, so that's another reason they need Rudy. But yes, 815 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 3: generally speaking they could they could all rebound better. 816 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: I first thought from your post on Next Today that 817 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett will make an appearance at Target Center for 818 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: the Wolves regular season finale on April twelfth. Obviously, this is, 819 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the beginning of Garnett's returned to the 820 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: fold for the Wolves organization. He's been pretty separated as 821 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: long as Glenn Taylor was owning the team. Uh maybe 822 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 1: you haven't been around long enough to know any of 823 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: the answers this, but I'd be curious to know. Do 824 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: we know exactly what the divide was between KG and 825 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: Glenn Taylor? 826 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 3: Oh Man an hour late in the interview. 827 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: You want to you want to sing around for the 828 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: next hour and talk about it. 829 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 3: Still not enough, Like you guys, we all know what 830 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 3: it was like Glenn and glennon KGD obviously did not see. 831 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 3: I did eye. There was frustration around with flip and 832 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 3: an ownership piece and all that it is. You know, 833 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 3: I wasn't covering the team back then, but yeah, that 834 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 3: was just terribly messy and KG was terribly vindictive or right, 835 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 3: just condictive about it and just distanced himself until you know, 836 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 3: Glenn Taylor sold the thing and the new ownership group, 837 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 3: they've been really active about this from the jump of 838 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 3: getting KG back into the pool, which is obviously kind 839 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 3: of a no brainer, but but smart and you know, again, 840 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,800 Speaker 3: this is the this is the pathway to it. So 841 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 3: it'll be cool to see him there game maybe two 842 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 3: of the the regular season, and I don't know this 843 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 3: for sure, but I would assume if he's around for 844 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 3: the end of the regular season that we probably see 845 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 3: him for a playoff game or two as well. And 846 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 3: that's what I've always pictured, right, It's like KG coming 847 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 3: out to the floor before a game and addressing the crowd, 848 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 3: you know, like that feels safe that before a game seven. 849 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, how do you elude that game? 850 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 3: So it'd be cool. It'll be interesting to see what 851 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 3: this what this all looks like. It's a unique position, 852 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 3: but uh yeah, I don't know. I'm excited about it. 853 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 2: Even better than him adjusting the crowd before the game 854 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 2: would be him live doing the fourth quarter hype video 855 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 2: that they play. 856 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that would be. 857 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 2: You can't lose the game at that We even there 858 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 2: down by forty points. They don't make a comeback about that. 859 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw it day in his interview with 860 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,919 Speaker 2: with Grady it was it was amazing just all around, 861 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 2: but just that little tidbit where he talks about filming 862 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 2: that fourth quarter high video. He says that there was 863 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 2: one with just all curse words. 864 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: Somebody from the Temples office. 865 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,359 Speaker 2: Was like, hey, uh, could you make a new one 866 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 2: without the curses and then the obviously it still lives 867 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 2: on and they played pretty much every game, every home 868 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 2: game to this day. U KG, former MVP of the league. 869 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 2: This year the m v P race is, I mean, 870 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 2: it's it's as hot as ever Normally. I feel like 871 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 2: at this point of the season we kind of have 872 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 2: a shot, a sure shot on who's gonna win m 873 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 2: v P. But this year, uh, there's there's plenty of 874 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 2: people that think it should be SGA. Victor wembin Yama 875 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 2: has been making the case for himself, not only on 876 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 2: the floor, but off the floor as well. We saw 877 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 2: Luca Doncis had a Michael Jordan esque march. 878 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 3: Uh. 879 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 2: You're obviously you're focused on the Timbroows, but you're you're 880 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 2: a huge NBA fan at large. 881 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: Who's your m VP right now? 882 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 3: Dan, Yeah, I've long been a Jo Kich guy, like 883 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 3: I've kind of been in previous seasons like a Yo kitchen. 884 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 3: It is not close even last year when SGA won it, 885 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 3: and you know, I kind of assume this season i'd 886 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 3: be you know, I beceeling the same way. But it's 887 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 3: like not even close for me right now that it's 888 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 3: it's SGA and not even close to Jokic. And I 889 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 3: don't really think it's all that close to like Wemby 890 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 3: and Luca either. I think that's like the media trying to, 891 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 3: you know, it's something to talk about at the end 892 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 3: of the season, and the games aren't giving us much 893 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 3: much talk about without the tanking and stuff. I get it. 894 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 3: But it's the way this dude can take over the 895 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 3: end of games, the intellect that he has, the way 896 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 3: he fits into that system. I mean, it's definitely it's 897 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 3: definitely a machine out there in Oklahoma City, but he's 898 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 3: the engine man. It's uh, it's pretty cool to watch 899 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,240 Speaker 3: them play a fourth quarter, you know, and just watch 900 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 3: Shay and you know, we know from watching the Wolves 901 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 3: and watching ant See doubles and all that stuff, like 902 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 3: we know how difficult it is for Ant had to 903 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 3: navigate all that added type of coverage. You know, she's 904 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 3: just a couple of years older than Man and really 905 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 3: has a great read of the floor, and he just 906 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 3: picked it apart over and over again. You said, Luca 907 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan. I mean, it's if we're comparing anybody to 908 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan, which we shouldn't do, but if we are, 909 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,720 Speaker 3: that's Jay to me, Man, I think he's been wildly 910 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,399 Speaker 3: impressive that that team to have over sixty wins when 911 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 3: they've had so many injuries. Obviously they're they're a good team, 912 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 3: but in my opinion, now he's the MVP this season, 913 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 3: and yeah, it deserves it pretty clearly. 914 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,240 Speaker 1: The final question for you, Dane the Wolves in Philadelphia tonight, 915 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: and you're there as well. I saw that Joel Embiid 916 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,839 Speaker 1: is upgraded a probable for tonight's game. He was out 917 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: with an illness as well, but he's upgraded a probable 918 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: and listen as questionable with that illness. Can you give 919 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: me a preview of the Philadelphia seventy six ers. 920 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's new with indeed, because it was listed 921 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 3: as doubtful before that. That obviously totally changes the outlook 922 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 3: here in this game, I puts a lot more otis 923 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,920 Speaker 3: on Rudy, right, he can't really go play small and 924 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,359 Speaker 3: can't really take Rudy off the floor and beads out there. 925 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,760 Speaker 3: He's just gonna beat against those other guys. Paul George 926 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 3: is back from suspension. He's been playing well recently. So yeah, 927 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,919 Speaker 3: this isn't like this isn't like an all an easy game. 928 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 3: I mean the Sixers that what I looked at up 929 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,759 Speaker 3: the Fixers are like pretty heavy favorites in this game. 930 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if some of that might be assuming 931 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 3: Aunt doesn't play. I don't know what the deal is 932 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 3: with Aunts, other than it was just an illness yesterday. 933 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 3: But I don't know if they're sick yesterday, maybe you know, 934 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,319 Speaker 3: maybe he doesn't play again today. And if that's the case, 935 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 3: it's going to be an upfield battle against the Sixers. 936 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,359 Speaker 3: But I'd love to see Ant come back and play 937 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 3: against Indeed, And yeah, let's have a real game here, 938 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 3: you know, a tune up game before the end of 939 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 3: the season. I think that's everybody talks about. The Wolves 940 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,760 Speaker 3: have a tough schedules on the stretch. I'm like, cool, 941 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 3: you know, like there's meaningful games. You know, figure this 942 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 3: out the pieces and play. That's that's way more valuable 943 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 3: to me than you know, pre win against the Pacers, 944 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 3: even if sometimes you know you're gonna you're gonna lose 945 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 3: some of these games. I hope everybody plays tonight and 946 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 3: think we do. I think we'll get a good game. 947 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 1: Dane. Love having you on. Appreciate your time. And the 948 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: next time we have a ten of Fitzgerald, I'll invite 949 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: you in studio for three hours and we'll talk K G. 950 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: Glenn Taylor for the entire three hours.

Let's do 952 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 3: it all right? 953 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: Thanks Dane, appreciate it. Dane Moore, he's covering the Wolves 954 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: out in Philadelphia. Yeah, out in Philadelphia where the the 955 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 1: Wolves take on the seventy six or six o'clock tap tonight, 956 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: heard right here on the fan. 957 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 3: Uh. 958 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: We do have Michael Russo at two thirty.
