00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: it was time for five to three four. Time now for.

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: Five questions, Well, actually three but five sounds like more

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: than four. Question number one.

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 4: Time now for an in depth look at the state

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: of the state of hockey.

21
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm disappointed. Your first question wasn't about the Idaho

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: Potato Bowl, which is starting right now.

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: It's just under course on the blue and Orange field.

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: Yep, Washington six and six Washington State. You toss state

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: six and six, one team will be seven and six

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the game and the other team

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: will be six six seven. What you got?

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh? The Wild seven game winning streak came to an

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: end with a five to one loss to Colorado yesterday

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: at Grand Casino Arena. Also snapped their franchise record fourteen

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: game points streak on home ice. Common Any going to

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: be concerned after the Wild's loss to the Abs, Someone.

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: Texted the Bradshawn Brian Kfe and text line during that

34
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: last break after you teased five three four, say, it's

35
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: not that the Wild played bad? Is that the Lanch

36
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: are just that good? Would you agree with that? Or

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: was the Wild off there game a little bit? And

38
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: does a lanch dictate the way in the Wild didn't

39
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: look like the same team. But I think a lot

40
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: of that is based off of the team they're playing.

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: But you know the on Black Friday they played Colorado

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: and they skated right with them.

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean they ended up winning in a shootout. If

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I recall, but just from a from a game pace,

45
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: tempo standpoint, in terms of offensive possession, it was very similar,

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: whereas this one. You know, Colorado was clearly the better

47
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: team throughout that game yesterday, and Colorado has always been

48
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: able to let's face it, I mean, offensively, they have

49
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the elite of the league, elite and the national Hockey

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,279
Speaker 1: ling and some of the goals they had yesterday were unbelievable,

51
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: but also in the wild really didn't get you know,

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: other than a boldie breakaway and shorthanded that he missed on, Like,

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: they didn't really create a lot of offense and create

54
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot of chances. So credit to Colorado's defense as well, since.

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: The trade for a Dylan Hughes, No Hughes Quinn.

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: Hughes Quinhughes.

57
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: I checked the box. Scores, helpers and goals don't always

58
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: determine how a guy plays. But yes, does he have

59
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: a one goal for us and one helper? What's I mean?

60
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Like like there was nothing.

61
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 1: He scored the first game?

62
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that anything?

63
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Yesterday's game was the least noticeable he's been. Okay, he's though,

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's you know, part of getting assists is

65
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: you need other players to finish on those assists, right,

66
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Like you can put someone in a good spot as

67
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: much as Pott Right, Like JJ McCarthy can throw it

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: right into his wide receiver's hands, but if they dropped

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: the ball, it looks like an incomplete pass from Jay

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Jim McCarthy right. So there's always more to it than stats.

71
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Don't tell you everything.

72
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to throw a wet blanket on Wednesday

73
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: because it's Christmas Eve. You don't throw a wet blanket

74
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve, you know, on the wet black Wednesday.

75
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: How about if I throw this at you. We were

76
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: pretty good before we got Hughes. They've been pretty good

77
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: after Quinn, right, But did we need him?

78
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Yes?

79
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: Did we?

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: If you want, if you want to make a run

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: to the Stanley Cup, yes, they got better with Quinn,

82
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Hughes and a Simon close. Until the Colorado game. They're

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: beating everyone by four goals. That hasn't even been competitive.

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Colorado's just they're literally on pace to be the greatest

85
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: National Hockey League team of all time based off their record.

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: It's an elite and elite team.

87
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: We had a great no member before we got the kid.

88
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: We were really been great since we got him, I know.

89
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: But we gave up four number one picks to get them,

90
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: and you might not even.

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: Stay, and he might stay. I'm bringing a Stanley Cup,

92
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: so could be possible, really possible. I think it's more

93
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: likely with Quinn Hughes, but.

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: We thought about it.

95
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: So possible.

96
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: So what we thought about with Parisian? Uh suit or two?

97
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it in.

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not saying I'm not all for it.

99
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I'm just doing the Devil's advocate stuff.

100
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: Could you make an argument we were as good as

101
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: any team in hockey before the trade, and we're still

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: as good as any team in hockey after the trade.

103
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: So was it even necessary? I don't know. We'll find

104
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: out as time goes.

105
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Well, I'll take my chances with Quinn.

106
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 3: Do the question number two.

107
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 5: It's now time to take an in depth look at

108
00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 5: the welfare of the Wolves.

109
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: The Wolves overcame a sixteen point deficit early in the

110
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: third quarter for a one oh three, one hundred win

111
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: over milliwa Ke Rudy Gobert had eleven points and eighteen rebounds,

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: which put him over ten thousand boards for his career

113
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: aunt led the Wolves at twenty four points, but he

114
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: did it on only shooting seven of twenty four from

115
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: the field. Con was sixcout you from the Wolves squeaking

116
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: by the Milliwaukee Bucks.

117
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: Well, you know you conveniently ignored because you're part of

118
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: the hockey community rather than the basketball community. They beat

119
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder.

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: On was that at Friday night?

121
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: Friday night they beat Okay. See more on that later,

122
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: because that's I can throw a wet blanket on anything,

123
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 2: even beating Okay. See which I'm going to do. What

124
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: I like from that game tan to be yesterday and

125
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: I didn't see a second of it like to I'll

126
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 2: tell you what like again. I go to a quote

127
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: from the game from the aforementioned Rudy Gobert. He says, quote,

128
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: it happened so many times when we win a big game,

129
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: a big emotional game, and then we play a team

130
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: with not the same record, and we don't come in

131
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: with the same intensity we were prepared for that. They've

132
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: learned a lesson, at least for the game. Hey, guess what,

133
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: you gotta play hard every game, you really do. It's

134
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: easier to win more games than you try really hard

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: all the time. So they came off a big game

136
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: against OKAC because they seem to get up for the

137
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: teams that they think are worthy of their preparation, other

138
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: teams that you're just not worthy of us putting our

139
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: best foot forward. We can beat you with one arm

140
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: tied behind our backs, and more times than not, they

141
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: don't beat that team with one armed time behind their backs.

142
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: So maybe they've learned something. So I see that quote

143
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: and I like it. Also, they were behind in that

144
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: game though Tennabee. They were down sixteen in the third quarter.

145
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: But here's what it says, fish rot Factory west Side.

146
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: The Wolves went on a twenty three to two run

147
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: as coach Chris Finch tweaked his lineup in the third quarter,

148
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: with Mike Conley playing for the injured Jaye McDaniels and

149
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: Nas Reeds subbing in early for Julius Randall. Finch said,

150
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: just needed to change it up. That lineup just wasn't working,

151
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to change it up, go with

152
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: Nas out there, and that's it. Sometimes you got to

153
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: do that. I like that because you just you wouldn't

154
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: necessarily think Randall's one of your best player. He's one

155
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: of your two best players right game in, game out.

156
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: If you were, if you weren't a game tennabe. If

157
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: you and I were going to play a pickup basketball

158
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: game and we got to choose from the fifteen Wolves players,

159
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 2: you had first pick, my guess is you take Anthony second,

160
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: and I would then take Julius Randall right, No, I

161
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: mean though, those are your best players on the team.

162
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: But it wasn't working. Sometimes it doesn't work, guys, guys,

163
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: and so we changed it up and then it says

164
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: Conley helped the Wolves generate good ball movement after a

165
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: choppy first half against Milwaukee. He had six points, six assists,

166
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: and five rebounds, a thirty eight year old return from

167
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: a four game absence because of an achilles tendinopathy. Not

168
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: as that's not as serious is testicular torsion. Right, We

169
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: learned that last week he thought he might only play

170
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: eight minutes. He played nearly twenty four. Here's what he said.

171
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: Really was just trying to make the game easier for everybody.

172
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: I thought that we were making the game tough, settling

173
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: for a lot of shots that we weren't. Just like

174
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: we can make the most games we weren't making shots early,

175
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: and they played his own a lot of the time,

176
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: and at that point, I was just trying to get

177
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: in the paint. Fine guys, start the blender a little

178
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: bit and see that's what veteran players do. Bring. It's

179
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: too bad that Conley couldn't turn back the clock physically

180
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: about five years, right, because he is he owns the game,

181
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: He understands the game, he knows how the game plays.

182
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: And there he was able to play twenty four minutes.

183
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: How I think could get twenty four minutes? Because isn't

184
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: that one of our issues? We feel like we don't

185
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: have a point guard. I mean, Aunt was gonna be

186
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: our point guard and he could probably do it, you know,

187
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: you know, but he's better, I think as the shooting guard.

188
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Whence you don't you think that's his position better? It's

189
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: too bad if we could get that kind of out

190
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: of Mic every single night. But he's thirty eight years old.

191
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: But if you could get that would be better. And

192
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: then your coach not afraid to change things up and

193
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: in certain guys in the lineup, That's what I like

194
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: about that, and then they beat okay see too. But

195
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm I think we you can only play certain cards

196
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: so many times, and I think we played one ten.

197
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: I me I'll explain the other side of the break.

198
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: That's a little five three four for you here on

199
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: the common Man program.

200
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 5: Man.

201
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: That's it for today's.

202
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: Edition of five Questions. Well actually three questions, but five

203
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: sounds like more than four.

204
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: First Avenue's Best New Bands is back January seventeenth. See

205

Speaker 1: and dot com.

209
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: Double thirteen fourteen past. I'm common He's tend to be

210
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: no Kevin O'Connell today. He usually has a day after

211
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: the game news conference, but I think he's shifting it

212
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: to tomorrow because in a short week they're playing Christmas Day,

213
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: and that would mean there'd be two news conferences. There's

214
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 2: usually one on a Monday and one on Wednesdays. I

215
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: think they'll just have one that will be all encompassing.

216
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: We'll hear from him sometime tomorrow, just say it was

217
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: one to fifteen. Was a schedule start, I believe.

218
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Yes, one, So we'll probably only carry it if it's

219
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: on time, which is probably unlikely.

220
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's hopefully it is because we have we

221
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: have spread swing to take care of us.

222
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: Well.

223
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: A couple of text messages and this one says me, boy,

224
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: nice of you to back off on Wednesday and not

225
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: be a wet blanket, but why make it a mood

226
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: killer Monday like that? Well to four and one since

227
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: his arrival, before the avalanche came, the Wild outscored their

228
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: opponents in those four wins, twenty one goals to six.

229
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: I'm on the jolly green Giant side. This is by far,

230
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: and yes far capitalized, the most talented lineup the Wild

231
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: they've ever had. Looking forward to seeing Rows and make

232
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: it across the river to Grand Casino Arena. Wants the Wild.

233
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: They're in a deep run in the playoffs. And then

234
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: he wants me to add this, I'll remove the in

235
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: room label guy. Hm. Well, I decided see how the

236
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: Cannucks have done since the trade. They're four and o yes,

237
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: so now last I checked, four and I was better

238
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: than four to one last time my check. Let's see ooh,

239
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: what's William's first name? Again? Ze Well. In his debut

240
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: with the Canucks, he scored a goal and had an assist. Uh,

241
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. Yeah like that, Obrian and Rosie h nothing.

242
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: See our next game was Tuesday to said. Well, look

243
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: after beating the Devils two to one on December fourteenth,

244
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: they shut out the Rangers three nothing. See what our

245
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: numbers look like in that game? Ogrid, Wow, he had

246
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: two shots on goal. He had a goal. That was

247
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: one of the guys that we included in the trade,

248
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: wasn't it. That's nice? See what else? Rosie didn't do anything?

249
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 2: And then William did not do he had a shot

250
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: on goal. Let's see our next game, Oh, beat the

251
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: Islanders four to.

252
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: One on the road, by the way, Yeah they're all

253
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: road games.

254
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 2: Oh boy, let's see what happened there. Uh again, then

255
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: they didn't do anything in that game. And then let's see,

256
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: oh and then they just Saturday in a shootout, they

257
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: beat the Bruins five to four. Let's see what the

258
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: numbers look like there. Ooh o. Gon had three shots

259
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: on Goalie had a goal and an assist.

260
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: He's scoring the shootout too, Oh did he?

261
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: Oh? And uh Rossi he had an assist in that game. Huh.

262
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: So it sounds like those guys have been playing pretty well.

263
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: Canucks are four toho. I'm just saying. I'm not saying

264
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: the Canucks record is better since the trade than the Wild.

265
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: You don't want to factor a competition at all. No,

266
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: isn't that well?

267
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: You know what they don't put the other teams fosters together.

268
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: Well, they Knucks needed a shootout to beat the Boston Bruins.

269
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: We beat them six to two.

270
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: Was Boston on a back to back against the Canucks?

271
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: Were they traveling time zones? Did they have cir katie

272
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: and rhythm? Did their jet have to come back because

273
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: of Uh?

274
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: We were on a back to back when we played them.

275
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: Was the Uh did we come back because of mechanical

276
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: lost yesterday? It was on the back to back?

277
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they they were off, So I mean that

278
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: Avalanche were rusty. Would would you rather just continue playing?

279
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: Especially when you just keep winning games? You outscored accomplish

280
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: Tish twenty one to six going into that game. You

281
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: want to just keep Yeah, except.

282
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: Yesterday against a historically good team. All right, let's look

283
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: out Vancouver schedule, fie if they lay Colorado at any point?

284
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Oh, and then there's this one, the Jolly Green Giant

285
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: got really defensive about the newly acquired defenseman. He turned

286
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: on his ex hues computer. That's good, okay, l right,

287
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: Mandela guy, excuse computer, not excuse, but excuse computer. I

288
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: like that. That's really good. We'll have to use there.

289
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: And Oberd was just to throw it in the deal.

290
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: And now he's turning. You know what he's saying, let

291
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: me show you what you're missing. He's inspired.

292
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: Just need a little opportunity, just needed a little opportunity there.

293
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: So he did nowhere to play in this lineup? Yeah,

294
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: we're too deep.

295
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: Here's another Canucks are undefeated since we mortgage our future

296
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: for use. Well, there it is. Here's one that says, well,

297
00:16:52,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: oh h hit the wrong button. Sorry that you know me?

298
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: I'm gave him a lot of future All Stars for

299
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: the mighty Quinn, didn't we.

300
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: M he's the future Hall of Famer.

301
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: This one says Wild fans right now, why is common

302
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: the way he is? I will it's just because well

303
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm a gadfly, That's what I am. Are we sure

304
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: that Quinn Hughes is a good fit on this Wild club?

305
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: Much like Otani wouldn't work for the Twins. So that's

306
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, there's always that. I don't think Otani would

307
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: have quite fit in with this team. Oh here's another one.

308
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: Hughes isn't scoring. I don't care if we win two Cups.

309
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: I'd rather have the potential of William Rossi and Otto

310
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: Graham the underperforming Hughes. I think Hughes is underperforming.

311
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: I think he's been pretty good.

312
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: This is going to go down as the worst trade

313
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 2: in the history of Minnesota sports. No, I'm just having it.

314
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: Why am I this way? I am just playing devil's advocate, though.

315
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it is true that we were really good

316
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: before the trade, and we might be better. It's very

317
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: it could very well be this guy will make us

318
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: a lot.

319
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: They've been really good since the trade. I know they're

320
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: four and one, I.

321
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Know, but they were twenty three and two over a

322
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: twenty five games.

323
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: If you extrapolate four and one over the rest of

324
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: the season, they will be the best team.

325
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: In hockey if it works out that way. Yes, extrapolation

326
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: doesn't always work that way. When the Lions were four

327
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: and one at one point this year, if you extrapolate

328
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: that out, they were about to finish.

329
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: Clearly, Yeah, clearly, we're not going to extrapolate out My

330
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: point is just this has not been a disastrous five

331
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: games stretch with Quinhes.

332
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 2: Well, nobody's said that, but we're just saying My point is,

333
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: did we really need to make the trade in order

334
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: to get the kind of results when we look at them?

335
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: We had a historic month and over it was historic, historic,

336
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: and everybody says Buyam has got a chance, maybe not

337
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: to be quite as good as Hughes has been advertised.

338
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet, but of course I haven't

339
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: watched the game either.

340
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 5: But.

341
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: How do we know that Bulliam, give him another year

342
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: or two, would have been just as good as Dylan Hughes.

343
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Quinny is.

344
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: You're right.

345
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no doubt when you look at the

346
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: trade with Vancouver. If anyone makes this trade, go south

347
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: for the for the for the wild, that's going to

348
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: be Zee William Right like Ogren, I know he's put

349
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: the puck in the net and often it's getting more

350
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: opportunity in Vancouver, but I think he's just didn't He's

351
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a third line NHL player. Marco Rossi's a

352
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: quality forward.

353
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 2: I like him more than most people do.

354
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why the biggest game changer in the

355
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: group is Quinn Hughes and the only the only one

356
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: who us potentially be a game changer is ze Bullyam.

357
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: The other two aren't going to become game changers. They

358
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: are NHL players that are you can find.

359
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: We thought they thought we were going to screw them

360
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: when we traded zeb Boulliam. There's a chance.

361
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a win for both teams. All right,

362
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: well you can have a trade. We're both teams.

363
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 2: Well, let's see, we'll play it out. We'll see. Just

364
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: throwing it out there just for people to something to

365
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: chew on, and you can wash it down with egg

366
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: nog and have a little peanut and rip. It's that

367
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: time of year. You know what. I think Mary was

368
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: upset with Joseph. I mean they roll into town Bethlehem

369
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: on a holiday without a reservation at a hotel, so

370
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: they end up having to stay in a major I'd

371
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: be annoyed about. What was he thinking?

372
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: Just pregnant?

373
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: Well yeah, make so, says you've got to make sure

374
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: you have a reservation. It's just crazy. We'll break We'll

Speaker 2: We don't go all next question. I mean it's like, hello,

386
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: sorry about that. I was on hold trying to get

387
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: a reservation for Bethlehem. How could you go to a

388
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: metropolis the size of Bethlehem on a holiday. I think

389
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: you're going to find a suite with a with a

390
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: king bed. I don't think it's going to work that way.

391
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: Here's a text message that came into the Bradgem Brian.

392
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: Were you disappointed that your thunder lost to the Timberwolves.

393
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Here's what it is with me and the Thunder. I've

394
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 2: taken a page out of Tennebee's book and a lot

395
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: of other people Tenneby, you like Kansas City and admire them,

396
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: and you like seeing them win, right because you like

397
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: the you like the excellence of Pat Maholmes and Andy Reid,

398
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: And how about Tom Brady? Were you another one of

399
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: those guys I thought you, Oh you didn't, I thought

400
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: you were.

401
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I respect him as a quarterback, but I was.

402
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 2: I know there were a lot of people that liked they.

403
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm getting to watch brilliance and they they had no

404
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: problem with Timber and I've always been well, yeah, I

405
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: get in admire what they do, but I don't want

406
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: to see them win year after year after year. Well,

407
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder just won their first ever World championship,

408
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: and I admire what they do. The Oklahoma City Thunder

409
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: and SGA, to me, are the NBA equivalent of Pat

410
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. What's wrong with admiring that?

411
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 2: I just hold them up as a shining example. They're

412
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: not necessarily my team, though, I don't mind seeing them

413
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: win because they approach every game as if it means something,

414
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 2: and it does. They are poised, they're polished, and they

415
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 2: were professional. Wolves won. But this is what I teased earlier.

416
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: If you'll remember, was it the Vikings who had the

417
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: team captain the coaches were out of the room and

418
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: the team captains all did some kind of pep talk

419
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: earlier in the season. Is that the Wild that did that?

420
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Maybe the Vikings, but.

421
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: That was a while that did that? Right, Yes, okay,

422
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: that's great, But how many times can you pull that card?

423
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 2: What was the one that I that couldn't have been

424
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: the one I was talking about that and there was

425
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: another one earlier we talked about some one of our

426
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: local teams made some kind of a big deal and

427
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: they won. I said, well, there goes that car. I

428
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: know the Vikings did it. I know the Vikings. They go, well,

429
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: they go, there goes that car. The Wolves have like

430
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 2: a dinner, did they? That's not the one I'm talking about, though.

431
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: This was this was during that was before the season started.

432
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: This was maybe the Wild. Maybe maybe the Wolves did

433
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 2: it as well. All I know is here's what happened

434
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: in the in the in the in the win over

435
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, Give me a second here. Chris Heine writes

436
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: for Fisherraft Factory West Side Beat writer for soon to

437
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: be a Big Game or the soon to be NBA

438
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: champion Minnesota Timberwolves. He writes after the Timberwolves one twelve

439
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: one oh seven victory over the Thunder on Friday night.

440
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: Coach Chris Finch stood next to President of Basketball Operations

441
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: Tim Connelly. Both greeded players as they came off the

442
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: target center floor. Anthony Edwards came by and gave a

443
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: quick dap to his coach, and Edwards walked down the

444
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: hallway talking to a team camera. We fed off Finchy's energy.

445
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: Finch walked on a ramp to the left of Edwards,

446
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: and Edwards wondered if that was the first time Finch

447
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: had been ejected. Edwards forgot about January thirty that Phoenix

448
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: last season when Finch got ejected for referring to officials

449
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: as bozos. Chris Finch got ejected tenneby from the game

450
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: against the uh The Bokahoma City Thunder players said Finch's

451
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: timing was perfect, that it gave them an energy jolt

452
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: they needed and inspired them to keep fighting in a physical,

453
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: defensive first battle won. The Wols won by scoring the

454
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: game's final eight points with Edward's hitting and go ahead

455
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 2: three point with thirty eight point five seconds to play.

456
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: Nasrito at fifteen points said that fueled a lot of

457
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: fire in us. It was exciting to see. Obviously he

458
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 2: was into the game, so I don't think it was

459
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: a stunt stuff like that. You want to fight for

460
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: someone who was fighting for you, added Dante DiVincenzo. He

461
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: gave everybody energy, not just us but the fans. You

462
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: shouldn't have to do that, Aha, the key somebody recognized it.

463
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: You shouldn't have to do that. But you could tell,

464
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 2: like from that moment on, they controlled the next four

465
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 2: or five minutes. After that, then we settled in. We

466
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: took the energy that was in the arena. Shouldn't have

467
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: to do that. Finch can't get ejected before every game

468
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: now is if that won't work, eventually everyone's going to

469
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: know it's a stunt. And it worked, and that's great,

470
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: especially in a game that you're playing the best team

471
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: in basketball. There's no argument they're the best team in basketball.

472
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: You can't argue that they might not end up being

473
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: the best team in basketball at the end of the year.

474
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: Right things change in the National Basketball Association, there could

475
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: be a completely different team hoisting the Guy Lombar. It

476
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: could very well be the Minnesota Timberwolves hoisting the NBA

477
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: Championship trophy and hoist in the banner next next November

478
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: when we opened the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven season.

479
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: But when you got to when when a coach has

480
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: to resort to that, and you know there's so many stories.

481
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: Where was the I had another quote here, I didn't.

482
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: I just pay a phrase French was He says that

483
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: he believes that the thunder get an inordinate amount of calls,

484
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: right and that, and everybody thinks that. You know, everybody

485
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: hates SGA in this town. And instead of I admire

486
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: him for his ability to play basketball and to draw foul.

487
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: I guarantee you this, if he was playing for our

488
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: team and doing that, we'd love it, right, fans would

489
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 2: just be eating it up. Got him again? Is it?

490
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a Do you think there is

491
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: a fan in any NBA city tend to be that

492
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: if their player was attracting fouls like that, scoring the

493
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: amount of points he isn't winning you a world championship?

494
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: Do you think they'd be going? I don't like this guy, though,

495
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: I just I wish he'd stop doing that. If you're

496
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: being honest with yourself, you you you don't believe that

497
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form.

498
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: I will say, and it's not the exact same. It's

499
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: a little bit apples oranges, okay, But Karl Anthony Towbs

500
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: when he was here, there were a lot of people,

501
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: including myself that would complain about his style of play

502
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: and like constantly complaining the officials and whining. So I

503
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: do think there are some personality traits. Now, you know,

504
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: he's not on SGA's level, so I understand it's not

505
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: the exact comparision, but he was, you know, an all

506
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: star player here and not everybody universally loved him because

507
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: of his personality and the way he played.

508
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: That's air fault. Then that's a that's that's a foible,

509
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: and that's a problem with the fan who has a

510
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: problem with his personality. He gave everything he's been the

511
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: most other than now and just taking over for that,

512
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: but other than Garnett, Towns is the most important player

513
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: to this franchise has ever had. Now it is, he's

514
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: the top three. There's a mount rushmore. He's one of

515
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: He gave everything he had every single game, did things

516
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: for the community. Everybody complains about I. I I know

517
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: what you're saying, but I if people I wouldn't have

518
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: a problem with that. It's to me, it's no I'm

519
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm on the other side of that finch. He said,

520
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: there is the here's, here's, here's here's a finish set. Ideally,

521
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: whether it shakes out to be forty seven free throws

522
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: or twenty seventh free throws, you just need the game

523
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: called in a way that's even on both sides. That's

524
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: everybody's goal in this game. Maybe there's fifty seven free throws.

525
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: I could have been shot in that game last night,

526
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: who knows. I don't know. I'm just trying to bring

527
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: some intensity to the moment and have everybody react and

528
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: respond to it. Ideally, whether it shakes out to be

529
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: forty seven to three throws or twenty seven, you just

530
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: need to be the game to be called in a

531
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: way that's even on both sides. So, in other words,

532
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: if one team is more aggressive, he picks up three

533
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: or four follows early, the referee is supposed to go, well,

534
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: I better start calling him on the other team. So

535
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: it's even. That's the most preposterous thing I've ever heard

536
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: my entire life. Don't you you agree with me? Right?

537
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: It depends on how he's using the word even, right,

538
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: I think the way you are interpreting it, I would say, yes,

539
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. But if his version of calling it even is, Hey,

540
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: if you're going to call this specific follow on, okay, see,

541
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: then you need to call this you know, or if

542
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna call this specific follow on and then called

543
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: this specific follow right, that like they're getting a different

544
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: set of rules as to it's a follow us.

545
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: Okay, you're right, that's probably what he did mean, because

546
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: when I saw that, my jaw dropped. It's like, you

547
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: can't just try to even the score, because you know,

548
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: people think of referees do that all the time.

549
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they call it both ways, you call it the

550
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: way it's most because.

551
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Okay, maybe that then I'm alright with it,

552
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: because I was looking at that and I was going, well,

553
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: that's just insane, because you can't call it both ways.

554
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 2: If it's not called both ways. I also believe, you know,

555
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: I think I'm in the minority here, and maybe it's

556
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: because I'm I'm not. It doesn't the results of the

557
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: games and the fandom as much like the hometown teams

558
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: to win and get a kick out of watch and

559
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: occasionally it doesn't mean as much to me, So I

560
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: think fans and players. I mean, have you ever seen

561
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: an NBA player think he didn't get fouled or I

562
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: didn't follow them? Right? So it's like it's a hard

563
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: game aim to officiate. Would you agree with that?

564
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: It's the hardest and half of them are trying to

565
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: draw follow from making it look like it's a follow

566
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: and it wasn't.

567
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, So to me, sometimes I don't even know if

568
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 2: it's people think it's favoritism. They call it, you know,

569
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: like who are the guys that think it called? You know,

570
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: Lebron gets calls all the time, and Steph gets calls

571
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: and this guy gets calls, and well, I don't know

572
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 2: if that's really necessarily true. Guys like that, Guess what,

573
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: they're handling the ball more than other guys on the floor,

574
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 2: they're shooting more. They should be guarded more intensely, right,

575
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: So to me, that that just means there are they

576
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: are going to be followed more often if you have

577
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 2: the ball in your hands as often as the star

578
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: players doing this league. The SGA's, the the Lebrons is,

579
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: the step Says is, the Don Sitch is is you're

580
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: probably going to be guarded more closely and they're going

581
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: to be in your face and so there there. I

582
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 2: just think it's now you can put aunt that category.

583
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 2: And I think there are people that think Ant doesn't

584
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: get the benefit of the doubt, and maybe doesn't. I

585
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't have in front of me a

586
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: list of players from for not only for this this year,

587
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: but their career. How many times have they been they've

588
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 2: been they've been called for a foul, or you've watched

589
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: them and go, well, they should have had a foul called.

590
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I don't think refs.

591
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I think do you think.

592
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: They do it as office people think? Do you think

593
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: like Lebron always gets all the calls and that's the

594
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 2: way the league wants it.

595
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: There are certain players that get the benefit of the

596
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: calls more than others. I do agree with that. You know,

597
00:35:53,160 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: I saw some Wolves related writers on Friday nightlating almost

598
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: as if this was you know, because it was just

599
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: a couple of games ago where Victor re Minyama basically said, hey,

600
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: they don't play with morals and ethics right like that,

601
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to foul bait all the time. Now, he

602
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: didn't say in those words, but and that this was

603
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: almost like orchestrated by Finch to let's get let's get

604
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: the spotlight on Okac now, and let's have this become

605
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: a league wide. Let's get the magnifying glass from the

606
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: league on Okac. So come playoff time, that keeps building up,

607
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: building up. And then the narrative around ak Okac is

608
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: they get all these calls all the time, so come

609
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: playoff time, that'll start even out a little bit.

610
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: Now, it could be. And I guess if you really

611
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: believe that, And I think people feel officiating is a

612
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: big problem in the NBA and the NFL. And I

613
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: think you and I, while I can I should speak

614
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 2: for you, well, I tend to agree that there are

615
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: a lot of botch calls. It's because those two games

616
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: are hard to effish. There's there, you know, basketball, so

617
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 2: you know there's ten guys in the flour up and

618
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: down guarding. Then this in NFL there's twenty two guys

619
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: slamming around on it at each.

620
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: NFL I still don't know what's a holding, what's out? All?

621
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly right, yeah, exactly. I said it to Douce

622
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 2: last and we were watching the game. There was a

623
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 2: time golf had a clean pocket. And I said, you're

624
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: this was against my team, And I said, do you

625
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: think any guy on our team was holding there right now?

626
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 2: And I said it for the other team too, because

627
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: that's just the way it works, you know. But so

628
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: getting back to my main point that obviously I think

629
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 2: the coach picked the right game to do it, because

630
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 2: you want, you know, if you if there's any team

631
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna need to pull out every uh trick in

632
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: your bag, your your bag of tricks, it's gonna be

633
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 2: okay see, because they are the best team in basketball

634
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: for now. That could change, but as of right now,

635
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 2: they are undoubtedly the best team in basketball.

636
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: So how about okay, see, they have three losses yep,

637
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: first loss they lost by two points, second loss they

638
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: lost by two points, and the Wolves beat by five.

639
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: So the Wolves have the best game against okay see

640
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: all you're a five point win.

641
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: That is correct. And so if you've got to dig

642
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 2: deep into your bag of tricks, that's a good team

643
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 2: to do it against. But as I say, I don't

644
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: know if he can do that again and again and again.

645
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 2: You can do that once a year, maybe twice, and

646
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: after that the players are going to kind of see

647
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: through it. The fans going to see through it, the

648
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: rafts are going to see through it. Go sit down, coach,

649
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 2: I know what you're up to. Just go sit down.

650
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: Want me to reject you, I will. But it's not

651
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: that big of a deal to us, And as de

652
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: Vincenzo said, it shouldn't have to come to that's my

653
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: whole issue with much of what the Wolves have done

654
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: this year. And look at that's a nice win against Okay,

655
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: see it goes in the win column. And if you

656
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: if they if the coach getting himself ejected was the

657
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: impetus to play harder that's the right word, and and

658
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: and to take out Okay, see that that's good. You know,

659
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: I'm all for it, But does that happen the next

660
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: night and the next one.

661
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: When you're playing a twenty five and two team that

662
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: knocked you out of the playoffs last year?

663
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: Like that shouldn't be what you need for motivation, right,

664
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 2: That's exactly Yeah, that's it, And so we'll see how

665
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: it goes. I mean, I I but yeah, no, I

666
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: so no, I'm not the Thunder's not my team. I

667
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: just admire them, I really do. It's it's it's I

668
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: am okay. See to me is what Kansas City is

669
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: to tend to be. And a lot of other people

670
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: there are other people that love and I understand it.

671
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: That's why it's not that I don't appreciate what the

672
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: Mike Jordan's is of the world's doing, the Pat mahomes

673
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: is and the Tom Brady's as it is. It's I've

674
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: seen it.

675
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 4: It's cool.

676
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, there, that's why they are. When you talk about them,

677
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: you you say their names in hush tones, Tom Brady,

678
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, Lebron James, and I get that, but it's

679
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 2: it's it's after they win. I like it spread around

680
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 2: like I love the NFL. This year, there's there's a

681
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: lot of new teams that haven't done anything in a

682
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: long time. There's some really good We talked about some

683
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 2: of the interesting stories out there. Even Green Bay. As

684
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: much as I despise them, that's a team that's on

685
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: the rise. Man, that's a good defense. It's good often

686
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: the hell of a quarterback. The Bears with the story

687
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 2: they've been writing. San Francisco is a good club. Seattle,

688
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: that's a great division of they are. The NFC West

689
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 2: is what the NFC North was last year, right, last

690
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: year of the NFC North had three really good teams.

691
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: Now the West is AFC. They've got some good stories

692
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 2: over there as well.

693
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, when it comes to NFC West, is a

694
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: good reason why you want the fourth place schedule for

695
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: instead of the third place schedule next year. Difference between

696
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: the playing the Cardinals or the forty nine.

697
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. That's exactly right, and that does

698
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: make a difference. We we we've learned that, so we'll see.

699
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: I here's a text message. All you might not like

700
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: their effort. The tea will still won, which you did acknowledge.

701
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 2: But how about the dagger shot by aunt Man that

702
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: was so awesome? It was It was a.

703
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: Great shots as well defended as you could ask for.

704
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's why he's the best players in the world.

705
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 2: And here's what I'll tell you. I bet there were

706
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: four other four or five others just like it that night.

707
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: The NBA is full of It's like the NFL. How

708
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 2: many exciting finishes can you have? Bears versus Packers, Seahawks

709
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: versus Rams, Vikings versus Junon. Okay, we'll stop at the

710
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: first two. Let's take a break, come back, one more
