Do you know what 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.400 I'm saying, Matt, A bit boy, A bit boy. That's 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.080 not a nuanced conversation. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.440 Oh, I got you too, simple. 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.840 Yeah, you didn't watch the clip where he called him 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:48.960 a bit boy, Matt. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.520 I haven't watched any of the clips unless you've showed 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:52.000 him to me. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:53.560 I tweeted one out. 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.000 Man, I don't, don't. 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:56.680 I got him a lot of views. I shouldn't have 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.240 done it. Well, I said it. You should have looked 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.920 at it. Very impactful, Matt. When the guy calls the 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:02.440 other guy a. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.440 Bit boy, bit boy, like I want to create bits? 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:09.040 You're out there? No? Yeah, like you're not good enough 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.799 to be a real sports tacos. That's why you're a 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:12.360 bit boy. 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.360 He's just he contributes bits to the show that. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:19.679 Has almost tempted to play it and stick it in 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.720 the mic and make you listen to it right now 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.000 like you would do. But I'm not gonna do that. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.000 Why not because I constantly based you for doing it. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.320 But that would make me a terrible hypocrite. Uh, but yeah, 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.880 you you missed by the bit boy retweet. Unfortunately, I 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.880 you know, quoted it on Twitter and wrote, you're promoting 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.360 this this guy called the other guy a bit boy 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.200 and getting all mad and uh it got a bunch 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.840 of views. It got them a lot more. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:49.520 Oh yeah, that was the thing. Was that what tim 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.280 uh sent to us via text and it and it 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.040 had two comments after being up for nine hours. 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.240 Yeah yeah, then I and then I lit that. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.240 And you lit it and then yeah, don't do that. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:00.960 Tell me what to do. 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.320 Don't give him any eyes. Man, I'll do what I want. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:04.360 Don't be a bit boy. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.120 Hey, if I'm a big boy, then fine, Matt a 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.840 bit boy for four hours a day. Uh, this is interesting. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.880 I don't know if you saw some of this, Matt, 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.600 but people are very much having a good time with 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:23.920 and poking fun at the uh at the USC receiver, 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.760 not the one Jacoby Lane who said he got robbed. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.400 And now the Brawley Totupu kid has has struck back. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:32.400 Oh really and. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.840 Said that was all given to him. And that's bs, 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.600 That's what I was figuring, right, his host. I didn't 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.040 steal from you. I didn't even go into your Locker, 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.000 you're a liar, Jacoby Lane. But the other USC receiver 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.800 and this will be the word of the day, Matt 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:50.360 with his. 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.680 Words, the word of the day. 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.120 The other USC receiver at the combine, Mackay Lemon. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.000 Yeah, he's a big time dude. 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.680 At a low Salameda. I mean, it's hard to say 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.280 who's been the most impressive USC receiver and this that's 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.440 really the only thing that they churn out consistently now 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.960 is good wide receivers. Because of the way the offenses 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.920 have been under Clay Helton and Lincoln Riley, it hasn't 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:25.600 translated into football dominance. But Amon Ross, Saint Brown and 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.680 Michael Pittman comes to mind. Drake London is the guy 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.720 who's probab in Atlanta. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.000 He's really good. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.200 He's great. I mean, there's just top to bottom a 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.320 lot of us arrested. If he's not getting arrested, he's 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.120 making plays. I mean, I wouldn't call him a USC 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.640 receiver even though Carson Palmer gave Addison his number so 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.320 the guy could play for like eight games at USC. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.960 But Mackay Lemon is, I mean, he's up there with 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.920 these guys as far as potential goes I mean, he 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.640 is a great wide receiver and we all saw it 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.839 in high school at Lo Sal. I wish we could 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:07.400 say the same. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.640 He had a great quarterback throwing to him, Well. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:14.200 He did, and he won a very decorated Malachi Nelson, 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:18.680 a very decorated college football quarterback, traveled high school football. 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.640 Quarterback, well traveled college quarterback. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.560 Well traveled and well paid. Matt, Yes, well traveled and 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:24.360 well paid. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:28.040 Hot his mom. That bag not much a literal. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:33.120 Bag, Yeah, not much to speak of on the field, 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.120 but everything else was there. But anyway, the guy that 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.719 really did rise up of that duo at a Lo 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.200 Sal was Lemon. But people are making fun of Lemon 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.960 because today at the combine when he addressed the media, 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.440 I guess it was kind of cringey. He was like 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.880 moving around like the snake in the Jungle Book. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.520 They said, Yeah, he had like a real swag to him. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.480 It was very odd. 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.280 Yeah, like a real swaggy, waggy kind of deal. So 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.080 let's let's listen in. I mean, we can't see him 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:09.240 move like a serpent on the radio, but we can 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.320 listen in and see. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.560 The guy who's one NFL player you model your game after. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.799 Look up to play the same round. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.159 No type of grit he plays with, no type of 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.120 the way he can have a positive air peg, you 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.719 know on the team with Doug the ball in his hands. 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.719 You know, it just doesn't translate to no but you, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.839 but at least you alert people to go seek it 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.320 out because it is worth watching. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.680 Like it's weird, like his body moves but his head 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.080 stays right in front of the microo. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.560 Yeah, there was another I almost wonder if there was 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.440 like some sort of pack made between because there was 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.960 another dude that was doing it. I was like, these 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.359 guys make some sort of deal. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:50.360 Like let's talk like snakes. Yeah, hey, who could be 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.279 more snaky? 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.360 I'll out snake you. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:58.200 That's what the NFL loves. Yeah, I love it the snaky. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.080 It was very odd. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.680 Yeah, I don't know what to say, Like, I don't know, 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.760 Like I watching it is like what is okay? Mad? 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.040 It is time for the number of the. 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.080 Days top number of the day. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:18.120 It is twenty one, twenty one dollars. I don't know 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.280 if you saw this. It was making the rounds on 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:25.720 social media today. We are your public transportation show of record. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.120 It's not even close. I mean, Dwayne McDonald has taking 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.240 the Metro to multiple trains to get from Burbank to Irvine. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.840 I mean, remember Chris Little though, we couldn't take that 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.560 title from him if he was still here, but he's not. No, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.240 you're right, but remember like. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.040 He would take the train from Riverside. It was train 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.080 content daily all day. Every day. I took the train, 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.360 I took a bus, I rode a bike. I load 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.920 my bike on the front of the bus, and then 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.000 I take the bus to the train, and then I 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.000 take the train to the Metro, and then I take 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.280 the Metro to the surf Liner and the surf Liner 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.000 to the subway. Well, I'm sure you saw this. The 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.280 D line is going to open. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.440 I only saw mackay lemon look at us. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:16.080 Well May The Metro's D Line will extend through the 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.880 historic mid Wiltshire Corridor. I lived in the Fairfax district 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.760 for a while. It is a nightmare to navigate via car. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:30.120 So to extend the train through Handcock Park, through Windsor Square, 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.600 through the Fairfax District all the way into Beverly Hills 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.680 will be a big deal. Stops at Wilshire, Librea, Wilshire, Fairfax, Wilshire, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:43.440 lo Sienega are all coming. But they decided to announce 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.559 it with not just a news release but a T 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.559 shirt pe and they knew. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.440 Like like. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.440 Trying to go like like what do they call that?

They decided to make 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.040 a shirt. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.560 Like everybody has the same Faris shirt, you know in 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:11.160 that town. 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:17.280 Yeah, the Metro has an online store turns out shop 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:21.160 dot Metro dot net where you can buy all of 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.480 your Metro needs.

It crashed the site earlier. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.680 It is back up now. Uh.

They did sell out, but they are 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.120 available now. They crashed the site, but they are available now. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.000 I would love to ride the d Well for a 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.520 couple of pull smokers like us. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.960 Well, I mean, that's right. But at the same time, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.000 I am always reluctant about the metro man. I get 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.040 worried about the stabbing. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.200 I don't want to get stabbed. I don't want a 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:04.640 gentleman to pleasure himself. 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.880 You know. I do think that we are probably I 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.840 think we we are. We we exaggerate when it comes 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.560 to the stabbings. I think we've exaggerated the stabbings. I 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.120 don't know if we exaggerated. 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.360 Is there still an ass at the end of stabbing? 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:24.400 Would that still be authentic, because if there is, then 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.440 I don't think we can exaggerate by saying stabbings. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.280 I just you know, I mean, I think there's you. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.319 Know, unless there was just one or none. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:36.120 I think there's less stabbings than we put on. But 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.480 I have to say, ain't nobody on that train we're 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.400 in El Segundo. When I'm there with you with the chargers, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.600 you're there a lot more than I am. Of course, 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.440 I've never seen anybody on that train. That's why we 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:47.319 call it the ghost. 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:48.160 A ghost train running. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.360 Well, we're on top of this stuff. That's why you 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:52.640 don't need John coblt. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.080 He ain't talking ride the d we hope. 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.880 He might be. Ronnie's got the song. 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:06.360 This is the song of the day, Yes I do. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.000 And today's song of the Day comes from the Duke's Spirits, 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.680 who are an English band straight out of London. And 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.120 today's song of the day is called Bottom of the Sea. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.600 It's an oceanic theme tune to finish off the week 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.760 on a frog Man Friday, where the Petrosen Money Show 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.280 follows spring training Dodger Baseball with a dive to the 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.280 bottom of the sea. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:31.320 Frogman to recover the Treasures of great sports dog before 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.120 David Vassi slides in with a final edition of Spring 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.000 Training Dodger Talk for the week, and that comes up 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:38.840 at seven o'clock. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.640 Thank you for sticking around. 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:46.960 Stricking around, no doubt.

We will discuss it 0:13:54.120 --> 0:14:03.040 more than once today. Times are not good. People look dejected, 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:11.120 bbl abounds, bad body language. Here to discussing a man 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:16.800 with always upbeat body language working hard on the iHeartRadio 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.200 app with Hoops Talk. It's also a hit on YouTube 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.400 and you hear him throughout the day daily reports and 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:30.680 of course he's joining us right now. Alan Sleewah Laker 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.920 insider on the Pettersen Money Show on AMPHI seventy LA 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.600 Sports your home of the Clippers and of course the Dodgers. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.800 As Matches said, what's cracking slee Wah? 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:42.240 How are you? 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:44.360 I'm doing good. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.440 I still don't understand the negative vibe you're referring to. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.640 I think things are going, oh swimmingly, just as planned. 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:55.200 Just okay, that's fine, you know if if you want 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.280 to be that way all as well. Like Kevin Bacon 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.960 at the end of Animal House, which is a reference 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:04.840 our young younger listeners don't don't understand. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.640 Which is bull as that they don't understand it is. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.000 It is a shame, but nobody has the attention span 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.720 for movies anymore. Uh, we just where our lives move 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.200 too fast. We'll just do it too many very important 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.800 things like picking up Asai bowls. But let's talk about it. Sleewa. 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.160 Are you surprised that things have taken let's just say, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:24.160 a dark turn. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:27.400 I am. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.680 I think you know, when the Lakers went into the 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.320 All Star Break, we knew that. Look, we we know 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.200 what the team is. It's it's not like it's a 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.680 complete shock. You kind of have an idea of right there. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.560 They don't play well defensively, they have teams that they 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.880 play above five hundred. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.600 They've clearly struggled, you. 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.680 Know, the combination of the Luca ar Lebron. I think 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.240 it's safe to say, yeah, it isn't think it doesn't 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.920 feel like it's let's call it. It's definitely not a 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.480 smooth operation. But I think I think what you've seen 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.720 these last three games or so, you're kind of starting 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.600 to see a new low every game. The Boston Celtics 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.160 are a good team. They're very well coached. Their players 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.160 play really really hard, but they're not necessarily more talented 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.120 than the Lakers personnel wise. Lakers got their ass kicked 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.120 there wasn't even a close. There wasn't even a game 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.400 at Crypto. Go to the Orlando Magic game where two 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.240 key pieces, I mean, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs are 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.840 really kind of critical pieces for the Orlando Magic. The 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.200 Lakers after losing the way they lost to the Boston Celtics, 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.480 you think maybe a little bit more pride, come out 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.440 and try to get a w. They lose to the Magic, 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.360 and then yesterday was just I don't even know how. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:38.920 To describe it. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.720 Grayson Allen and Colin Gillespie dominated the Lakers, a lot 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.120 of guys that you know, people around the league don't 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.280 even know who some of these players are outside of 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.240 those guys, and the Lakers they lose again. So yeah, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.800 you could walk in and say, hey, I don't think 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.240 the Lakers are going to compete for a championship. That's fine, 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.240 Obviously nobody's gonna argue that. But to see the trajectory 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.320 of where the Lakers are going and to see kind 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.240 of their span here now I think eleven and thirteen 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.320 over their last twenty four games certainly not heading in 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:09.959 the right direction. 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.080 Yeah, the I guess you know what Petros was leading 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.000 into there with the BBL the bad body language. Like 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:18.520 you said, this is a team that was fighting for 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.280 the free seed. It felt like two weeks ago and 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.960 now as we are, you know, being sarcastic about how 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:29.879 swimmingly it's going, they're flirting with the playing again. Like 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.879 what has happened in the last two weeks? Is it chemistry? 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.880 You got eighting, you know, getting lippy about his role 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:41.800 and what's the correction? Is it JJ? Is it Lebron Like, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.479 who has got to grab the reins and steer this 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.840 thing in the right direction? It has clearly come off 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:47.800 the tracks. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.800 Yeah, I think money to hit on what you said 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.879 about why did it come off the track? I think, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.639 you know, you could point to a couple of things. 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.600 But the Lakers were I think at one point thirteen 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.359 to zero in clutch games. Okay, well, obviously that's not 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.640 going to continue to hold its own weight. They got healthy, 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.159 which in a weird way, I almost think is hurting 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.440 the team because I think their rotations are completely off. 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.000 And what I mean by that is I don't think 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.960 anybody really knows their role. I don't think guys, and 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:21.960 some of this has to do with the stars as well, 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:25.080 Austin Reeves doesn't look anywhere near the player that he 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.000 was towards the beginning of the season. The combination of 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.720 the three stars don't look good. I think JJ Raddick 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:32.520 is getting out coach in each one of these games. 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.679 I mean, you got guy, And it might even just 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.480 be you could look at one side and say, hey, 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.400 those guys are playing harder than the Lakers. Hey, those 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:45.919 guys understand their role, specifically movement. So much isolball for 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:50.639 the Lakers sometimes watching them, it's so predictable. There's just 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:52.960 nothing creative that the Lakers are doing. I think the 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.680 thing you said of okay, well, what gets it back 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.240 on track? I would say this, you know you got 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.960 twenty four games left. You're obviously you know you're looking 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.280 behind you, and the Phoenix Suns are only a game behind. 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.640 And I think for Phoenix, I don't think the Lakers 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:08.960 are going to actually be in the playing tournament. And 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.560 that's not because they're playing good basketball. I just think 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.800 other teams are injured. But with twenty four games left, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.479 what I would say is just throw away the script. 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.320 You don't stop playing the politics stop well, I have 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.919 to start Austin Reeves because of this or that or 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:24.159 that player. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.520 I gotta give eight X amount of minutes. You don't 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:28.240 have to do anything. 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.320 You got twenty four games left to try to figure 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.479 out what's the best that I could do with this 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.040 roster the rest of the way. Don't worry about emotions, feelings, 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.040 any of that stuff. Do just what's in the best 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:39.959 interest of the team. And you got to figure out 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.560 a way to find what's a winning solution. And they 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.600 could clearly don't have that right now. 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.800 Yeah, I guess you know. And we're going to get 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.399 into this a little bit later. I guess a bit 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.640 of a preview is here's what I can't figure out. 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.439 And I know what you mean. Like, it's Don Chic, 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.399 who's played at forty plus last night. Austin Reeves I 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.160 think is playing his ass off and playing pretty damn well. Well, 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:04.440 I'm not trying to point the finger exclusively at Lebron, 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.919 but there is something wrong with that chemistry. There is 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:12.159 something about those three that just does not look right. 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.000 And you mentioned that final play. I mean you mentioned 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.800 Gillespie and Grayson. I mean, those are the two guys 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.919 that connect on that final play. Lebron is trying to 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.960 share to oust rings, do not slack off O'Neill, stay 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.520 with him, and he's the guy that slacks off Gillespie 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.840 and has no chance of helping on Grayson Allen anyway, 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.760 And that whole thing falls apart, Like I don't even 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.520 know if there's a question in there, Alan, but it 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.840 just feels like these three guys on the court together, 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:36.960 it's there's something that's not right with it. 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.040 Well, if I think if I told you this, if 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:42.960 we just kind of separated and he said, hey, what's 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.320 the perfect type of player with Luka Doncic, No one's 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.880 gonna say Lebron's skill set at forty one. No one's 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.359 going to say Austin Reeves in the back court and 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.160 a player that is going to struggle on the defensive side. 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.080 If I said, hey, what's the perfect combination with Lebron 0:20:58.160 --> 0:20:59.719
