Speaker 4: podcast depend on somebody what trust me?
Speaker 3: Listeners love it. Fun fact about Glendale, Arizona. That's where
Speaker 3: Camelback ranch is. Would you like to know a little
Speaker 3: something about Glendale, Arizona, the place the Dodgers call home.
Speaker 4: I would love since I go to Arizona all the time,
Speaker 4: going there next week as.
Speaker 3: Well, and the Dodgers call Glendale, Arizona home really year round,
Speaker 3: but especially in the spring. Glendale used to be home
Speaker 3: to a military airfield that trained Allied pilots, Thunderbird Field.
Speaker 3: At first, it was a collaborative Hollywood project for airlines
Speaker 3: and Hollywood types, built with investors like Jimmy Stewart and
Speaker 3: Henry Fonda and Carrie Grant. And when World War II happened,
Speaker 3: the Army swooped in, made a deal and started training
Speaker 3: World War two pilots. When it ended, basically so did
Speaker 3: the airfield. Now it is the home of the Arizona
Speaker 3: Christian University Firebirds.
Speaker 4: How about that? I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: Well, you should visit Thunderbird Field.
Speaker 4: There is an airport nearby, because there's always planes taken
Speaker 4: off by Campbell back ratch, but a different airport, I assume.
Speaker 3: I would assume. So that's what I read. Okay, you
Speaker 3: know what why it's no longer in use? All right,
Speaker 3: I don't know where the airfield is now.
Speaker 4: That's a great fun fact Petros. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: That's what I read.
Speaker 4: Quick hits, TMS quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, first full team workout today, camel Back Ranch here
Speaker 3: is Dave Roberts earlier today.
Speaker 5: So obviously we've got the pictures here. They've been doing
Speaker 5: fine work, and the catchers and they've been taking patting practice.
Speaker 5: Position players all arrived are here now, which is good.
Speaker 5: But I think as far as as we get geared
Speaker 5: up for Saturday, you know, there's probably gonna be a
Speaker 5: few guys are regulars that are not going to be
Speaker 5: in the game, and we have a long way to go,
Speaker 5: so I don't know how the lineup's going to look
Speaker 5: in the first few days of spring training and and
Speaker 5: or how the pitching is going to be, which Mark
Speaker 5: has got to handle on that. But yeah, just kind
Speaker 5: of seeing where guys are at. Today's exciting day. We've
Speaker 5: got a lot of live BPS, so hitters will take
Speaker 5: them at bat We'll see a lot of different arms
Speaker 5: and that'll be fun.
Speaker 4: With the guys who are going to be a part
Speaker 4: of the World Baseball Classic, I mean, do you want
Speaker 4: to get them out there early or how are you
Speaker 4: trying to kind of play that out game wise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 5: They're they're, they're ramping up. You know, Uh, they're, they're,
Speaker 5: they'll be ready. I'm not sure, you know, I'm at
Speaker 5: a loss which guys exactly are going to be going
Speaker 5: to the Classic, But there are I know, hey songs
Speaker 5: doing stuff and Yamamoto has already thrown alive and show heyes,
Speaker 5: take us in a bet and he'll be ready. So
Speaker 5: they're on their way.
Speaker 6: Have you put eyes on ta Oscar here arrived today?
Speaker 6: And do you feel like the work that he put
Speaker 6: in during the off seats in signals a message to you?
Speaker 5: So he poked his head in on my morning meeting
Speaker 5: with the pitches and catchers and he gave me a hello.
Speaker 5: So I saw that he as a beard. I haven't
Speaker 5: seen the body, but I heard he's in great shape.
Speaker 5: So obviously, I think for me, the defense really really
Speaker 5: ticked up from that series in Denver we had in
Speaker 5: the summer, and for me, that's the bar. He's gonna
Speaker 5: move to left field this year, which he's excited about.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I just I think he's just shown the
Speaker 5: ability to be a good defender out there, and he's
Speaker 5: obviously a run producer. So I'm excited to see what
Speaker 5: Tayo can do this year, very very excited.
Speaker 6: Do you feel like guys like him and Mookie after
Speaker 6: down years offensively have something to prove to themselves first
Speaker 6: this season?
Speaker 3: I hope.
Speaker 5: So I think that, you know, the great players, whatever
Speaker 5: criticisms or expectations people have of them, the great ones
Speaker 5: expect more and are more critical of themselves. So I
Speaker 5: would like to that question. I would like to think
Speaker 5: that Muki has something to prove for himself and Tao
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 4: Tato, is that one of those things where as things
Speaker 4: kind of got rolling with Tucker, you guys kind of
Speaker 4: reached out to see if you'd be open to left
Speaker 4: field or is that one of those things where you
Speaker 4: kind of did that and afterwards kind of gauge where
Speaker 4: you're at.
Speaker 5: We made the we made the sign, and then I
Speaker 5: ended up reaching out to Tayoe and said, this is
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen, and he said, gave me a big
Speaker 5: thumbs up and he'll be ready to go. So I
Speaker 5: think it just speaks to the guys that we have
Speaker 5: in the room, and if winning is the most important thing,
Speaker 5: then it doesn't matter the role the position and guys
Speaker 5: just have bought him.
Speaker 3: What is the vibe.
Speaker 2: Energy like coming into our camp now back to back
Speaker 2: instead of just you know, defending, Now you're going for
Speaker 2: a three people.
Speaker 3: What is the what are the guys feeling and coming
Speaker 3: into this.
Speaker 5: I think it's, uh, it's kind of this is who
Speaker 5: we are, this is what we expect. And I say
Speaker 5: that in the work each day guys are excited obviously
Speaker 5: see each other, which every camp is the same way,
Speaker 5: But I think for me it's I would expect us
Speaker 5: to go about each day the same and I think
Speaker 5: we're as good as anyone at doing that while keeping
Speaker 5: the long term goal in mind. So honestly, nothing has
Speaker 5: changed from two years ago to three years ago, to
Speaker 5: last year to this year. I think we're focused on,
Speaker 5: you know, being as good as we can be each day.
Speaker 3: More on that. At seven with David Vase, of course Angels,
Speaker 3: Mike Trout says he's going to move back to play
Speaker 3: center field this year so we can get hurt after
Speaker 3: like one inning.
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, he plays all the time. Penchils don't
Speaker 4: say that after a four year stretch in which he
Speaker 4: appeared in only forty one percent of the team's games
Speaker 4: and suffered a litany of injuries. Is right, ca his back,
Speaker 4: his neck and his back his handmade bone. Oh that's
Speaker 4: the bone that everybody broke last week during batting practice.
Speaker 3: Remember, Yeah, it's actually very prevalent. In fact, I know
Speaker 3: you knew that from your baseball time and being the
Speaker 3: bought Dodgers host and all that. Most recently, Trout hurt
Speaker 3: his knee. The only fish in the world that has
Speaker 3: a knee is Mike Trout. Trout and the Angels are
Speaker 3: moving him back to center field, and they have him
Speaker 3: also in the plans to continue to DH That makes sense.
Speaker 3: Trout said he also wanted to play in the World
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic, but insurance prevented him from playing because you know,
Speaker 3: he's so injury prone. He said that that was a
Speaker 3: disappointing I mean, as a baseball man, Caatese, is there
Speaker 3: anybody whose career has been more disappointing in Southern California
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done, more than Mike Trout.
Speaker 4: No, all those MVPs Rookie of the Year All Stars,
Speaker 4: he still doesn't win a championship, still done nothing in
Speaker 4: the postseason, and he's been hurt the last half decade.
Speaker 3: Only one postseason he appeared in right.
Speaker 4: I think his rookie year or second year in baseball
Speaker 4: when Mike Social was still there. But imagine calling the
Speaker 4: insurance companies. All of them are like, yeah, we're trying
Speaker 4: to get insurance for Mike Trout for the WBC.
Speaker 3: Nice trust, you better call Sweet James at eight hundred
Speaker 3: nine million. Okay, On to the NBA. The Clippers are
Speaker 3: twenty six and twenty eight. They are holding onto the
Speaker 3: tenth seed in the West. They're off until Thursday when
Speaker 3: they host the Denver Nuggets. We're going to talk to
Speaker 3: Slee Wah about the Lakers in the very next segment.
Speaker 3: They're thirty three and twenty one. They're the fifth seed
Speaker 3: in the West. They're off until Friday when they take
Speaker 3: on the Clippers. And Lebron held his own press conference
Speaker 3: at the All Star Game, the only guy that doesn't
Speaker 3: and was asked about his future.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I want to live. Well, I know
Speaker 2: you guys that know, I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 3: I want to live.
Speaker 4: Just wants to live, man, I want to live now.
Speaker 4: On Saturday, it was media day for all the players
Speaker 4: at All Star weekend. It was announced then Lebron will
Speaker 4: be having his own press conference on Sunday, and everybody
Speaker 4: freaked out it's coming. He's going to announce his retirement.
Speaker 4: The tour is officially started for the second half of
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 3: So Lebron, what do you what do you plan to do?
Speaker 3: I want to live?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I want to live. Thank you, And
Speaker 2: I know you guys know, I don't know, so, my dear,
Speaker 2: I just want to just want to live.
Speaker 4: That's all follow up question. Why are we having a
Speaker 4: separate press conference then? For you to know? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: non't ask him that. Don't don't disrespect the king like that.
Speaker 4: Tired of getting nailed by the king. I had to
Speaker 4: look it up. It has now been four All Star
Speaker 4: Games in a row that he has decided to have
Speaker 4: his own press conference.
Speaker 3: We'll ask Alan Sleewah in the next segment about whether
Speaker 3: or not it's time to say goodbye too. I want
Speaker 3: to live, Lebron James, Yeah, I mean I want most
Speaker 3: of us do all.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: College hoops petros the top twenty five rankings came out
Speaker 4: earlier today, and no surprise, the Michigan Wolverines, the number
Speaker 4: one team in the Country.
Speaker 3: Oh, brilliant. They might not even make the tournament after
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 4: They lost My thirty on Saturday, Michigan reaching the top
Speaker 4: spot for the first time since well about thirteen years ago.
Speaker 4: Houston moved up to number two, Duke moved up to
Speaker 4: number three. Arizona, which lost twice last week, dropped down
Speaker 4: to number four, followed by Yukon, Iowa State, Purdue, Kansas, Nebraska,
Speaker 4: and Illinois around at the top ten. Ucla, as you mentioned,
Speaker 4: took one on the chin to Michigan on Saturday. They
Speaker 4: go to East Lansing tomorrow night to face tom Izzo
Speaker 4: and Michigan States. Well, do you have any college basketball
Speaker 4: games on the horizon, Tim, I think I got one
Speaker 4: in a week or so. I'd have to check the schedule.
Speaker 4: I don't have anything coming up for the next couple
Speaker 4: of days or this weekend.
Speaker 3: So the Raiders your team, Tim, Yes, Big. You have
Speaker 3: to sit there and hold your tongue and bite your
Speaker 3: teas and Matt's like they did. Waste They had worst
Speaker 3: in the last thirty years. Nobody's been wasted.
Speaker 4: The radio, Well, I think they made some of the
Speaker 4: great hires this offseason. They hired Seahawks quarterbacks coach Andrew
Speaker 4: Jinoco as their new offensive coordinator. They also announced the
Speaker 4: promotion of d line coach Rob Leonard as their new DC.
Speaker 4: The Raiders now have one of the youngest coaching staffs
Speaker 4: in the NFL.
Speaker 3: They have swall ass Deuce Grooden all Swoll and the
Speaker 3: strength coach like four foot five all Swoll.
Speaker 4: Clint Kubiak, is thirty eight. The OC is now thirty seven,
Speaker 4: and the DC, the defensive coordinator, Rob Leonard, is thirty eight.
Speaker 4: Their three main guys are all under the age of forty.
Speaker 3: They're all peak spring water. Women's hockey USA beat Sweeden
Speaker 3: five to nothing to advance to the gold medal game.
Speaker 4: They're just absolutely demolishing.
Speaker 3: Sweden. Is where IKEA is. Ronnie went to the biggest
Speaker 3: Ikea on Earth and got lost in Burbank the weekend.
Speaker 4: There's no shaming.
Speaker 3: I think that was Saturday.
Speaker 4: There's no Saturday. There's no shame in getting lost in
Speaker 4: the NIKE It's very confusing.
Speaker 3: So they beat Sweden. They're six and oh so far
Speaker 3: they've outscored their opponents by a combined thirty one to one.
Speaker 3: Men's hockey all so dominant. Crushed though crowds five to
Speaker 3: one win over the Germans as they closed the preliminary
Speaker 3: round play with the perfect three and oh record. The
Speaker 3: Americans will try to carry that momentum into the quarters
Speaker 3: where they play the winner of Sweden versus Latvia. It's
Speaker 3: a collision course between the USA and Canada at both
Speaker 3: the men's and women's side.
Speaker 4: How about this that happened earlier today the men's slalom.
Speaker 4: A skier for Norway at l McGrath was the leader
Speaker 4: going into the second round. All he needed to do
Speaker 4: was finish his clean run down the mountain and he
Speaker 4: was gonna win gold. But disaster struck before he even
Speaker 4: got going full the gold. Norway almost poetic between runs
Speaker 4: about the privilege of the pressure.
Speaker 1: I am nervous.
Speaker 4: I'm incredibly nervous, this is.
Speaker 1: What he said.
Speaker 4: But I love it. That is my motor. Oh no,
Speaker 4: so quickly what grath is out and they are cuss
Speaker 4: a goal for Switzerland. Oh shocking conclusion.
Speaker 7: To it.
Speaker 4: Already crazy slalom day INFORMEO. Yes, McGrath had trouble with
Speaker 4: the gate early in his run, realizing his shot for
Speaker 4: a gold medal, a bronze medal, a silver medal.
Speaker 3: Were over with.
Speaker 4: He just stopped to shut it down, got out of
Speaker 4: his skis, threw his poles, shocked his poles, and walked
Speaker 4: off the slalom course and went over out of bounds
Speaker 4: and just laid in an adjacent trail in the snow
Speaker 4: by himself to reflect on how bad he had done here.
Speaker 4: He is afterwards.
Speaker 1: I just needed some time for myself. And it's hard
Speaker 1: to think that.
Speaker 8: You know, the next time I'll be able to ski
Speaker 8: the Olympics, I will be twenty nine years old.
Speaker 1: And not twenty five.
Speaker 8: And and I gave myself the absolute best opportunity you
Speaker 8: could today and I skid so great and I still
Speaker 8: couldn't kind it done.
Speaker 1: So that that's what really hurts now.
Speaker 4: I feel bad because his grandfather did pass away right
Speaker 4: before the Olympics started, so he's been kind of going away,
Speaker 4: but he was one run away from winning the entire thing.
Speaker 3: That's very sad, brutal. We've seen this in the past
Speaker 3: and the Olympics. You know, a guy's gonna win the
Speaker 3: raids and they get bunked in the leg and they
Speaker 3: fall over.
Speaker 4: It is a way to go out, just say screw its.
Speaker 4: You gotta finish, I'm walking off the course. It reminds
Speaker 4: me of Kimmy Ryking and crashing in Monaco and then
Speaker 4: getting onto a yacht and drinking, walking off the race
Speaker 4: and taking his helmet off and just rolling out went gold.
Speaker 3: Screw this all right? Well, uh, that's the second best story.
Speaker 3: The best story for the Olympics. Well, the third best story.
Speaker 3: The best story of the Olympics is that they ran
Speaker 3: out of condoms after three days. The second best.
Speaker 4: Story is the guy that tried to get his girlfriend
Speaker 4: back the Is that another Norwegian guy? I think so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, We're having a bad Olympics. We'll be back with
Speaker 3: more Petros and Money. Alan Sliwa will join us next
Speaker 3: with the latest on the Lakers as they get ready
Speaker 3: for the post All Star break run, and we'll talk
Speaker 3: a little about the All Star Game as well. Petros

Speaker 4: right here on amfi seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3: They were still keeping an eye on the pro hoops world.
Speaker 3: It was a big weekend in Los Angeles. Well, at
Speaker 3: least Sunday was Palpable joining us to discuss it all.
Speaker 3: He's got a show on YouTube, he's got a show
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app. He's right here on AM five seventy.
Speaker 3: He's our Laker correspondent, Alan Sleewah on your Southern California
Speaker 3: Toyota neither celebrity hotline here. I don't I want to
Speaker 3: know first, sleiwa, how many like were you out with
Speaker 3: Drew Ski at Craigs at three in the morning? Like
Speaker 3: what what kind of All Star weekend were you able
Speaker 3: to cobble out for yourself as a basketball pundit?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what day it is at this point.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 7: When you spend that much time out on the streets
Speaker 7: and so much.
Speaker 1: Booze and everything.
Speaker 7: I just it's exactly my personality. So you can only
Speaker 7: imagine Pete. You can only imagine.
Speaker 4: I can imagine like on Andrew Biningham's shoulders somewhere in
Speaker 4: a club with arms flailing in the air, maybe wearing
Speaker 4: a tank top. Uh did you go to any of
Speaker 4: the events?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Sleep while, I mean it seems always such a corporate vibe.
Speaker 3: But were you were you out and about at all?
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't go.
Speaker 7: I've gone to I've gone to previous All Star events
Speaker 7: in the past when they were in La gone to
Speaker 7: the one. This was a while back. They had one
Speaker 7: out in Vegas years ago. If you remember that got flew.
Speaker 1: Off the bar.
Speaker 3: They threw a guy off the Ghost Bar.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was that was a little extreme. But yeah, no,
Speaker 7: and here here's the here's the.
Speaker 1: I will tell you.
Speaker 7: And just kind of looking back at that time, there
Speaker 7: was a time where you're like, yeah, the NBA is
Speaker 7: never going to Las Vegas and then as in they'll
Speaker 7: never be in Vegas with a team or anything like that,
Speaker 7: And it's entire weekend they're talking about expansion with Seattle
Speaker 7: in Vegas. We know it's eventually gonna happen, but I
Speaker 7: did not partake this weekend having the past. They're always
Speaker 7: fun to do, but I was I was okay to
Speaker 7: take a step back in these events.
Speaker 4: What did you think of the overall weekend slee while
Speaker 4: from Tuesday afternoons skills competition. Everybody wants to call out
Speaker 4: the crowd. It's a made for TV event, certainly, but
Speaker 4: yesterday this US versus the World for twelve minute games,
Speaker 4: it was kind of cool. I was kind of into
Speaker 4: it yesterday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Listen, I think think about how much negative press
Speaker 7: the NBA has got about the All Star weekend for
Speaker 7: years now, and if there's some time to give them
Speaker 7: credit for they do try different things, and I think
Speaker 7: they're open to saying, Okay, well this isn't working, let's
Speaker 7: try something different. I liked what I saw yesterday.
Speaker 1: Maybe I liked it.
Speaker 7: Because there were certain players that competed, and I just
Speaker 7: kind of liked the concept. I like the concept of
Speaker 7: seeing what that world team look like. I like how
Speaker 7: they separated the two USA teams, kind of the younger
Speaker 7: generation the older generation. I like the twelve minute quarters.
Speaker 7: It kind of kept everything fresh. Yeah, and then you
Speaker 7: obviously got to the championship game, and the championship game
Speaker 7: was what it was. But I thought it was competitive.
Speaker 7: I thought it was different. I thought it was new.
Speaker 7: I know there's a you know a few old heads
Speaker 7: that like the old format. The problem with the old
Speaker 7: format is they don't care about the old format, as
Speaker 7: in the players don't. So at least this gave us
Speaker 7: a little bit different of a look, and I thought
Speaker 7: it was more competitive.
Speaker 4: It is kind of sad that we're like, hey, they played,
Speaker 4: I know, like that's kind of crazy. Here's my problem
Speaker 4: though with the Weekendsley was Saturday, I'm watching Duke play
Speaker 4: and there's Cooper Flag sitting courtside at Cameron Indoors, one
Speaker 4: of your young superstars in the NBA, and Michael Jordan's
Speaker 4: obviously got his NASCAR event. But where's Barkley, Where's where's
Speaker 4: the whole gang? Where where's Larry Bird? Where's the NBA
Speaker 4: greats this weekend on display? I just felt like there
Speaker 4: was none of that this week and outside of just
Speaker 4: the games in the current players.
Speaker 1: It's fair.
Speaker 7: I guess I've I've dropped my expectations so far down
Speaker 7: when it comes to NBA all Star weekend that I
Speaker 7: can just try to enjoy the weekend knowing that I'm
Speaker 7: not going to expect too much. I didn't expect much,
Speaker 7: expect much from the dunk contest, and you know what,
Speaker 7: there was nothing to get too excited about. I think
Speaker 7: whatever are whatever the past was is how we used
Speaker 7: to think of the All Star Game. That's just not
Speaker 7: it today. And Petro's what you just said about you're
Speaker 7: complementing the players for you know, caring or whatever the
Speaker 7: case is. It's like, yeah, that's that's kind of the
Speaker 7: world that we're in. Or they keep I keep seeing
Speaker 7: people send me out, Well what if they throw more
Speaker 7: money to go do this? I'm like, how about you
Speaker 7: just do your job. You're already getting paid hundreds of
Speaker 7: millions of dollars. But that's that's not exactly today's NBA.
Speaker 3: Alan sliwah Our guest on the Petros and Money Show.
Speaker 3: The man knows his stuff when it comes to basketball,
Speaker 3: and he has a very very legible, straightforward delivery that I,
Speaker 3: for one appreciate. The Lakers are in a certain place
Speaker 3: coming in on to Friday where they play the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Not exactly the worst team that's going to make the
Speaker 3: playoffs and certainly not the best and they're kind of
Speaker 3: right there in the middle. But Austin Reeves is back.
Speaker 3: What are your expectations going forward for what the rest
Speaker 3: of the season entails.
Speaker 7: I think they're going to be competitive. I think you know,
Speaker 7: exactly where they're sitting right now in the Western Conference
Speaker 7: is probably where they'll eventually be. Do I is there
Speaker 7: a chance they can get up to the fourth seed
Speaker 7: or maybe even the three? Sure everybody's within a game
Speaker 7: and a half of each other. They could also be
Speaker 7: in the playing tournament, which I'm not expecting that to happen.
Speaker 7: I think it's more likely that they kind of stay
Speaker 7: exactly where they are. Expectations I think in the second
Speaker 7: half of the season is I just want to know
Speaker 7: what they're ceiling is, and maybe the only way we're
Speaker 7: going to find that out is when Luca Lebron and
Speaker 7: Austin Reeves play more than ten games. That's how many
Speaker 7: games they've played the first fifty two how many games
Speaker 7: or fifty four games? What does it look like when
Speaker 7: they're all on the court together. What does it look
Speaker 7: like if Aighton's having a good game, if Marcus Smart
Speaker 7: I don't know if I know their full ceiling and
Speaker 7: their full potential yet because of some of their injuries,
Speaker 7: but I also kind of know what they are. There's
Speaker 7: probably a good chance that anytime they play a team
Speaker 7: against or anytime they go up against a team that's
Speaker 7: over five hundred, they're probably going to struggle, which is
Speaker 7: obviously not a good sign for the playoffs. And they'll
Speaker 7: take advantage of teams that are below five hundred to
Speaker 7: kind of help them with their with where they are
Speaker 7: in the standings. But we have a pretty good idea
Speaker 7: of what they are. I'm just curious. Can we get
Speaker 7: a ten to fifteen game stretch where Luca, Lebron and
Speaker 7: Ar can play together and what does that look like.
Speaker 4: I think the two big things Leewar be healthy going
Speaker 4: into the postseason and just be one of those top
Speaker 4: six teams right stay out of the play in tournament.
Speaker 4: And if this team is healthy, as you mentioned, they
Speaker 4: haven't played together the big three very much this season.
Speaker 4: If they're healthy enough, all three of those guys and
Speaker 4: Marcus Martin Kruez for the PL I think it's intriguing
Speaker 4: to see what they can do in a series.
Speaker 7: I think it's intriguing, but I do think there are
Speaker 7: Let's just use this example. You say, stay top six.
Speaker 7: I think they got to be better than that. And
Speaker 7: what I mean by that is I think home court
Speaker 7: would help them a ton. If they can get home
Speaker 7: court in that first round, that could be the difference
Speaker 7: of advancing in the first round or not. I'm just
Speaker 7: going to give an example here. Let's say they took
Speaker 7: on the Rockets in the first round. Houston has home
Speaker 7: court versus Lakers have in home court. I do think
Speaker 7: that matters. And you know, this team has been so
Speaker 7: inconsistent and times they've shown that, yeah, they can hang
Speaker 7: in times. You see the greatness of Luka Doncic or
Speaker 7: you know, some of these other individual players. But I
Speaker 7: think every small thing matters for the Lakers. They kind
Speaker 7: of need everything to go their way to make a
Speaker 7: little bit of.
Speaker 1: Noise in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: So I would try to be a little bit greedier
Speaker 7: than just hey, get in and avoid the playing tournament.
Speaker 1: Because I think home court would really help the Lakers.
Speaker 3: How long? And everybody interprets news differently, negatively or positively,
Speaker 3: but it's always news. How long do you think the
Speaker 3: Lebron farewell Tour is going to be because you know
Speaker 3: it's going to be more than one season. So how
Speaker 3: long do you think it's going to be?
Speaker 7: I think the over unders four four right now, kidding,
Speaker 7: but you might not be. I actually I think it
Speaker 7: will be. You think it's going past the year? I
Speaker 7: think a year sounds A year sounds right. I mean
Speaker 7: the problem is.
Speaker 3: It's like already sort of happening, right, and we're like
Speaker 3: in it, but we're not any when I know you
Speaker 3: will know like, how long is this going to go on?
Speaker 7: Well, I'm hoping this. I think you know I've said
Speaker 7: this before somebody that Look, I think Lebron kind of
Speaker 7: brought the course back in some weird shapeway or form.
Speaker 7: He kind of got the Lakers back on course. Now
Speaker 7: it's been a roller coaster ever since he's been on
Speaker 7: the Lakers. They can either win a championship, compete, or
Speaker 7: not make the playoffs. I mean, they've kind of been
Speaker 7: all over the place. But I do hope that this
Speaker 7: is it for Lebron as a Laker. And that's no
Speaker 7: disrespect to Lebron, but twenty three seasons in the NBA
Speaker 7: eight with the Lakers, I think this kind of idea
Speaker 7: and concept of him going to Cleveland and playing his
Speaker 7: final year there and letting everybody know before the season
Speaker 7: starts that this is it, this is my final year.
Speaker 7: I think that's the right way for him to go out.
Speaker 7: But yeah, you know, maybe he is playing twenty five
Speaker 7: seasons and we are doing this for a couple more years,
Speaker 7: and I guess it shouldn't surprise us if that ends
Speaker 7: up happening.
Speaker 4: Sleeve what my guy Kendrick Perkins said this morning that
Speaker 4: the NBA may not be ready for life after Lebron
Speaker 4: James And I thought about that.
Speaker 3: For really Kendrick Perkins question.
Speaker 4: He just brought it up, and I got thinking about that.
Speaker 4: Lee Will, I think he might be right once Lebron Well,
Speaker 4: I say this, I think Kendrick says because he's so polarizing,
Speaker 4: and every time he plays, win or lose, whatever he
Speaker 4: does or doesn't do, it's talked about the next day.
Speaker 4: NBA fans are reacting to it on social media. You
Speaker 4: take Lebron out of all, this is the NBA ready
Speaker 4: for that? I mean, what's the daily conversation?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the concept is interesting because he's been
Speaker 7: in the ecosystem for so many years. Literally twenty three years.
Speaker 7: He's been the ecosystem, probably even before that, when they
Speaker 7: were talking about him in high school and the hype
Speaker 7: was already starting in ESPN was already carrying some of
Speaker 7: his games. I think life will go on, and you know,
Speaker 7: I think there's some people out there. I'll use me
Speaker 7: as an example. I'm a huge NBA fan, was a
Speaker 7: fan well before Lebron, will be a fan well after Lebron.
Speaker 7: I'm kind of ready. I mean, I'm telling you guys here,
Speaker 7: I'm ready for that chapter to change with the Lakers.
Speaker 7: I think for the NBA just in general, you got
Speaker 7: a lot of great players that are out there. Okay,
Speaker 7: maybe they're not going to be as polarizing as Lebron,
Speaker 7: but how many more years do you want to you know,
Speaker 7: how much more juice can you probably possibly get out
Speaker 7: of that Lemon So I would say that I'm okay
Speaker 7: with that page turning on. It might be an adjustment
Speaker 7: for maybe a little while, but they'll catch on.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. They'll be talking about other players.
Speaker 3: Close the book. Alan sliewill the best of the best
Speaker 3: when it comes to straightforward NBA Lakers analysis without the
Speaker 3: poison hatred of some people like myself.

Speaker 3: a very interesting character in the world rock and roll.
Speaker 3: At twenty one, years old. He wont a talent contest
Speaker 3: at the Apollo and Harlem. Even though you're extremely white,
Speaker 3: you are aware of the Apollo and Harlem, are you not? Tim?

Speaker 3: Saturday Night Live?
Speaker 4: A few times? Two times when the show ended, it
Speaker 4: was pop right on?
Speaker 3: Maybe leave it on accidentally in your case. Lotus wrote
Speaker 3: the songs that laid the foundation for rock and roll.
Speaker 3: His first release was his own song Daddy Rolling Stone
Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty five. As a songwriter, he wrote Fever,
Speaker 3: which was a huge song for Peggy Lee. That one
Speaker 3: doesn't do anything for you either, Tim, if it's not
Speaker 3: warrant or striper from our childhood or kid in play.
Speaker 4: Peggy Logy, you give me fever? Oh man, you kiss
Speaker 4: me Fiva fever? Yeah, he wrote Fever. He has an
Speaker 4: extremely profitable association with Elvis Presley. Otis Blackwell wrote, don't
Speaker 4: be cruel? Does that ring a bell?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: I could hear that Elvis sound? He wrote, Yeah, return
Speaker 4: to Sender. Yes, he wrote all Shook Up, Big Elvis
Speaker 4: hits No just hold on He wrote him, performed him
Speaker 4: in an Elvis stole.
Speaker 3: He wrote them for Elvis.
Speaker 4: He wrote four Elvis. Okay, He's in the Grammy Hall
Speaker 4: of Fame for Great Balls of Fire, which he wrote
Speaker 4: for Jerry Lee. Leuk Fever is also a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: This is not a joke. This guy is in every
Speaker 4: single music hall of fame. In the late eighties, Vernon
Speaker 4: from Living Color put on a huge tribute concert for
Speaker 4: him in New York, Okay, second out to nine. His
Speaker 4: own records never cracked the top forty. So yes, he
Speaker 4: can write him.
Speaker 3: But this song sold and still sell. Here's the craziest thing.
Speaker 3: Otis Blackwell. We never met Elvis Presley in versus Stop?
Speaker 3: What does that happen? Wrote the songs, gave him to
Speaker 3: the studio, the label Sun Records. Elvis was in Memphis
Speaker 3: probably when he was recording that stuff. This guy was
Speaker 3: in Nashville. I don't know. I never met him, it
Speaker 3: was said. But Madonna, the La Punk Band, X, James Taylor,
Speaker 3: the Who, Bob Dylan have all recorded Otis Blackwell songs
Speaker 3: and he and I believe met some of those people
Speaker 3: in person.
Speaker 4: Very cool man who shaped a lot of our musical history.
Speaker 3: Correct. That's why I said, laid the foundation for rock
Speaker 3: and roll I love it. Well, there you go, Tims Blackwell.
