All right, It's 49 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: time for the word of the day, Matt, how hurt 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean with his words? 51 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 5: The word of the day. 52 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: Today's word of the day is so fine because so far, 53 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, is going to be 54 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: the place to be. Now, we reported on this back 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: when it looked like it was going to be likely, 56 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: and now Ryan Krcy of the La Times put it 57 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: out today and it got a lot of what do 58 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: they say, You got some heat on it, Matt, like 59 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: little traction action. According to sources, the twenty twenty eight 60 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Olympics are expected to force USC football out Nodo of 61 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: the La Coliseum for the twenty eight season. That's because 62 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: the Colisseum used to have a track, but it doesn't 63 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: have a track anymore, so they want to build a 64 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: new track, and that means they have to cut the 65 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: football season down and then they're going to have the 66 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: Special Olympics. They can't rebuild the field fast enough to 67 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: have the twenty twenty eight football season at the LA Coliseum. 68 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: USC is likely to play their games at Sofi Stadium, 69 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: which means all four teams in Los Angeles, the Chargers, 70 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: the Rams, UCLA, and USC will be housed in Sofi 71 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: Stadium in twenty twenty eight, much to the chagrin of 72 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: the people of Inglewood and their weekends. What does it 73 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: mean that we live in southern California? Man, Yeah, but 74 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: it's also a little bit unfortunate that we live in 75 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: southern California, a place synonymous with great weather and outdoor 76 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: sporting event and all four teams are going to be 77 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: playing indoors in twenty twenty eight, and other than USC, 78 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: three of our teams will be playing indoors all the time. 79 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: Unfortunate and incongruent. Is parking better at the Coliseum than 80 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: it's so Fi? Right? Like, that's a tough one. 81 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, because I mean, so far, if you don't have 82 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 4: prepaid parking, you're pretty much sol right. 83 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: Exactly, And at USC you could do something shady in 84 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: somebody's lawn or figure something out, like at USC there's 85 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: a thousand ways to skin a cat around South central LA. Yeah, 86 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, but and I guess you could say the 87 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: same for the wood. But anyway, crazy situation unfolding in 88 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. Stay tuned to the Petrosen Money Show. 89 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: That's time for the number of the day. 90 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: Here's my number of top number of the day. 91 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 4: All right, let's get some picks. We got a game tonight. 92 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: We will not be playing it because we have got 93 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: Clipper basketball. Wee oh, come on, it's awesome Bucks versus Falcons. 94 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry, Matt, it's the Paralympic Games twenty twenty eight, 95 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: not the Special Olympics Corrections and retractions that'll be using 96 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: the track the Paralympic Games. Sorry, let's have those picks tonight. 97 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: Out laid. 98 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 4: The five and a half Bucks are getting healthy. Mike 99 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 4: Evans is back, the Falcons are toasted four and nine. 100 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins has been awful. They just got their heads 101 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 4: kicked in by the Seahawks thirty seven to nine, a 102 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: week after losing to the Jets. And remember, the Rams 103 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: have the Falcons first round pick. It's gonna be in 104 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 4: the top ten incredible. Plus the Bucks are wearing the 105 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: cream sickles, so no brainer. 106 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: Oh it's Creamsickle week. They can't lose. 107 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 4: I went three and one last week, totally fine with 108 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 4: not going four and zero. Chiefs losing was the one 109 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 4: I missed some big lines. We got teams playing the 110 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 4: string other fight in playoff spots, and battle to keep 111 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: the AFC East is in the balance. I'll take the 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 4: points somehow. The Bills a one man band orchestrated by 113 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: Josh Allen and little else. They should have lost to 114 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: the Bengals last week of fluky five minutes in the 115 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: fourth quarter, two Bengals turnovers, watch the Bills go from 116 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 4: ten down to five up. The Patriots look like the 117 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: best team in the conference right now, Drake may of 118 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 4: the League MVP. They have played nobody, nobody since their 119 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: Week five win over Buffalo. They have not faced a 120 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 4: playoff team, not one. So I get throwing some shade 121 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: as the Bills have been running a gauntlet to get 122 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 4: to nine and four, But making the Patriots home dogs. 123 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: At eleven and two seems a little wacky. 124 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 4: So I'll take the points to one and a half 125 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: and watch the Patriots wrap up the AFC heat. It's 126 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 4: fun while it lasted, kids, but the mass Holes are 127 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 4: back heavy favorites. And by heavy favorites, I mean the 128 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: Giants playing two and a half. It is a two 129 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 4: and eleven Giant team versus three and ten Commander team. 130 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: Why do we touch its just mailed it in completely 131 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 4: and totally against the Vikings last week, and I expect 132 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 4: him to do it again this week. Thirty one nothing 133 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 4: at the hands of the Vikings. Giants already have their quarterback, 134 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: they got an interim coach that everybody seems to like 135 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 4: in Mike Kafka, and at least they still have a 136 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 4: defensive front. 137 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: I can't believe the Chargers lost to these two teams. 138 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: Both of these teams they combined five and twenty one, 139 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 4: responsible for half of the Chargers' losses this season. Only 140 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: thing to be a little concerned about here in taking 141 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 4: the Giants and laying the two and a half is Mariota. 142 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 4: He's been a lot better than Jayden Daniels this season. 143 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 4: Jayden played last week, Mariota's in this week. He's done 144 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 4: enough to get another year in the league, no question, 145 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 4: but he's putting together a season that might see him 146 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: be a bridge quarterback for a team taking someone in 147 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 4: the first round. Get that bridge QB money. That's like 148 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: ten twelve million bucks versus backup money four to six 149 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 4: million bucks. I will gladly they lay the nine and 150 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 4: a half and take the Texans. 151 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 2: They smell it. 152 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 4: Last week when the Cards couldn't get much offense going 153 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 4: after the start the game, the Rams poorted on forty 154 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: five seventeen. Texans do not have that same sort of 155 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 4: offensive firepower, but they can figure some things out against Arizona. 156 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 4: They will have nothing happening against the best and the 157 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 4: lague defense. Houston still in play for the division, just 158 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: a game back of the Jags, and the two teams 159 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 4: split their season series. Already, this feels like two tds. 160 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 4: So I will lay to nine and a half and finally, 161 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 4: Packers road favorites against the Broncos. The eleven and two Broncos. 162 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: Am I hate betting? 163 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: Yes? 164 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 4: Yes, I am still cannot believe the Broncos are eleven 165 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 4: and two.

Hopefully it's not raining. I 216 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 5: don't think it's supposed. 217 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: To two hours and fifteen minutes. 218 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 5: About yeah, more like two. 219 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fair enough? 220 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 5: You know Benny on traffic. 221 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: And they changed the paint at the Oregon Court because 222 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: it was so weird the first time. Right now it 223 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: like it is a little less offensive. 224 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, And I've always said on TV it looks way 225 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 5: better in person than it does on TV. But yes, 226 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 5: they've lightened the colors a little bit, and I do 227 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 5: think it looks a little bit better on TV, but 228 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 5: still looks great in person. 229 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 4: Don would love to kind of get you awigh in 230 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 4: on the sort of football aspect as it relates to 231 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: baseball aspect of putting these tournaments in playoffs together. Some 232 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,239 Speaker 4: people saying they do a much better job with basketball 233 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 4: because there's just more transparency, more factors, the strength of schedule, 234 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 4: the RPIs, all of those sort of things. 235 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: Do you feel like that basketball gets it right? 236 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: Like there's very few snubs because of course, you know, 237 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: and look, you got sixty eight teams versus twelve, so 238 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: of course there's going to be a big difference there. 239 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: But just in terms of how they put the tournament together, 240 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 4: are other things the college football could maybe pull from 241 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: what they do basketball wise? 242 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 5: You know, that's a good question, Matt. I think once 243 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 5: they kind of came with the net rankings, and that's 244 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 5: not the only metric that they used when determining the tournament, 245 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 5: but it's the most prevalent, and I think when you 246 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: have one big metric, it kind of decides whether or 247 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 5: you're in. And I don't know, I mean, I follow 248 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 5: college football, but I don't know the ins and out 249 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 5: to the committee and what they use. But it just 250 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 5: seems like you're right, it's a little more transparent because 251 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: it's a little more specific with that one net ranking number. 252 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 5: It's like, Okay, yeah, you were third in the conference, 253 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 5: but your net rankings, you know, eighty five, Like you're 254 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 5: not getting in if that's the case. And so it 255 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 5: takes your entire season. Obviously. I think there's one argument 256 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 5: that a lot of people make that, you know, games 257 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 5: at the end of the year in conference games should 258 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 5: be factored more heavily than games in November December, and 259 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 5: I guess I would agree with that, but I'm not 260 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 5: sure how you quantify that for every team. But yeah, 261 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 5: I think I think the NCAA, you know, selection committee, 262 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 5: for the most part, gets it right. But like everyone, 263 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 5: there's a couple of teams every year, Like I remember 264 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 5: West Virginia last year, thought they should get in and 265 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 5: maybe they should have, but they didn't. And so I 266 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 5: don't think there's a lot of I guess, complaining going 267 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 5: on when it comes to who gets into the NCAA tournament. 268 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 4: I know it's not UCLA or USC but you know, 269 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 4: number one pick in the draft certainly a lot of 270 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 4: people are going to pay attention to. And I don't 271 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: remember how much Aja Debantsa got to go to BYU. 272 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: I feel like it was like five million bucks or something, but. 273 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: Twenty five million, twenty five million. 274 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 4: Dollars had a monster second half in that comeback win 275 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 4: over Clemson. Is he like the de facto number one 276 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 4: is it is there a race for number one? How 277 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 4: close is that? How good is he through whatever it's been? 278 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 4: Not ten games? 279 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 5: I think he got eight million, man. I mean, you 280 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 5: never know unless you see the contract, but that's what 281 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 5: I heard, that he got eight million. I really liked 282 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 5: the bands. I saw him play a bunch last summer. 283 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 5: He was actually in our gym for a week last 284 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 5: summer or the summer before. Actually, the thing I like 285 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 5: most about him, aside from the obvious the physical tools, 286 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 5: the measurables, his game is just he's really competitive, like 287 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 5: super super competitive. And I think for a lot of 288 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 5: these guys that have been catered to their whole lives 289 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 5: and given everything and through AAU and shoot eels and 290 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 5: all that, to still be that competitive, I think says something. 291 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 5: I think Darren Peterson's in the conversation kid from Kansas, 292 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 5: but I you know, certainly if the banter goes number one, 293 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 5: no one's gonna no one's gonna think twice about that. 294 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: The one and only Don McLain on AM five seventy 295 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: LA Sports he is a hero to us all and 296 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: a basketball expert at every single level, and he's looking 297 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: forward to the two hour drive on the five from 298 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Portland to Eugene. Anything to avoid the Eugene Airport as always. 299 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: Uh Don. Everybody loves the Portland Airport, There's no doubt 300 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: about that, but that Eugene Airport fogs in fog delays. 301 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,239 Speaker 1: I was once had to sleep at the San Francisco 302 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: Airport with somebody vacuuming around my head because of a 303 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: delay at the Eugene Airport. Now don, when it comes 304 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: to the end season NBA tournament, I guess the Lakers 305 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: got sort of knocked out or at least set back 306 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: last night. You don't work for the Clippers anymore. Does 307 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: this thing suck? Does it have legs? Do you like it? 308 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: I don't. What do we do? 309 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 5: I don't think it sucks pee When it first the 310 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 5: first year it happened, I liked it. And I don't 311 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 5: know if it's because I'm not as heavily involved, not 312 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 5: doing the Clippers thing anymore, but it feels like one 313 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 5: of those things where it was it was really good 314 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 5: because it was new, But really, how good is it? 315 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 5: And I think for the players, obviously it's great if 316 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 5: you win the whole thing, you get a half a 317 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 5: million bucks. But I think for the fans, the newness 318 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 5: of it. I think because it was so different and 319 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 5: something brand new that nobody had ever seen. I think 320 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 5: a lot of people liked it, and I did too. 321 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: But as a couple of years have gone on, now 322 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 5: am I that do I still think it's that great? Probably? 323 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 5: Not that being said, I don't think it's It's a 324 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 5: disaster either, and something that they should get rid of. 325 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: Let's talk disaster. Was there a better way for the 326 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: Clippers to say goodbye to Chris Paul? Don? 327 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 5: Yes? Absolutely? 328 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: What happened? How could it get to that point on 329 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: an NBA team run by professional people with a professional GM. 330 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: Well, we don't know exactly what happened or what had 331 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 5: been happening. Obviously there was friction between Chris and some 332 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 5: of the players in Tylu and and all that. I 333 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 5: just think the Clippers could have handled that better. They 334 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 5: could have They could have just let him go and 335 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 5: then announced it Monday, or let him finish the trip 336 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 5: and announce it when they got back. I just don't 337 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 5: understand what the what the urgency was, you know, mid 338 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 5: road trip to send him home. It's not like, Okay, 339 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 5: we got rid of Chris Paul and now we're going 340 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 5: to go on a ten game run. That ain't happening anyway. 341 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 5: So I just, you know, I think Chris Paul has 342 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 5: done enough in this league and whether you like him 343 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 5: or not, or you know, he was too much on 344 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 5: your team at this point in his career, he deserves 345 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 5: the respect as as a Hall of Fame player to 346 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 5: you know, treat him that way, and they really didn't, 347 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 5: and it's kind of it's kind of sad for for 348 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 5: Chris and hopefully his career is not over, but if 349 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 5: it is, it kind of sucks the way it ended. 350 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: Well, you know it el sucks. 351 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 4: Is the NBA Cup not coming back to Los Angeles 352 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 4: after the Lakers defense was humiliated last night against the Spurs? 353 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: Is that a real issue? 354 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: Don when you because I think you look at the 355 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 4: makeup of the team and you're like, yeah, you probably 356 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: got some serious defensive issues, especially on the perimeter, and 357 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 4: it's playing out that way through whatever it is now 358 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 4: twenty seven games. How concerned should should Laker fans or 359 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 4: should the Lakes? Should should the Lakers be? 360 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 5: That? 361 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: He seems to be an issue. 362 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 5: Here's how you have to look at it, Matt, Do 363 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 5: you have the personnel to be a good defensive team 364 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 5: and you're just not or do you have good enough 365 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 5: personnel and you're just not buying in and not expending 366 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 5: enough energy on the defensive end. That's the question. Like 367 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 5: if you look at their personnel, I don't look at 368 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 5: those guards and say, man, those guys are lockdown defenders. 369 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 5: They should be able to keep people out of the 370 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 5: paint whenever they want. I think it's more they don't 371 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 5: have the personnel to be a great defensive team. So 372 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 5: now it's on JJ Reddick to help that. Like, you 373 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: can't just put guys on islands against guys they can't 374 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 5: stay in front of. You got to develop schemes, play 375 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 5: some zone, do some different things to try and hide 376 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 5: some of that deficiency. And I think as a season 377 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 5: continues to go along, JJ Reddick seems like he knows 378 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 5: what he's doing, and I think he will help in 379 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 5: that regard. But I don't think Look, they're a terrific 380 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 5: offensive team, But I don't think anyone's looking at the 381 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,479 Speaker 5: Lakers going, yeah, they're just underperforming on the defensive end. 382 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 5: They should be a great defensive team. I don't think 383 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 5: anybody expects with their personnel to be a great defensive team. 384 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 4: Last one don to go back to the amateur ranks, 385 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: and I'm gonna I'm gonna stick my neck out. Hopefully 386 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 4: I don't get uh, hopefully I don't get in some 387 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 4: trouble here. How good are these Ratlift Twins that I'm 388 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 4: reading about that Muscleman got to sign and is now 389 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 4: working his way toward maybe having one of the best 390 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 4: recruiting classes for twenty twenty six.
