1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: We begin like this with one of our very favorites

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: in the business. They call him Finchy. Chris Finch, head

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, courtesy of Second Harvest Heartland

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: two Harvest dot orgon prize picks, And here's the head coach,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: gracious and nice enough to join us this Wednesday morning.

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: Tend to play and tonight is a big win at

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Target Center against the Houston Rockets, who are a half

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: game behind Finchy's team in the Western Conference standings. Chris

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: joins us. Now, good morning, coach, how are you.

10
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm good by yourself right on.

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Man, thank you very much for the phone call. I

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: know you've got a big day today. Fun fun win

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: at Boston. That was a fun win. Man held the

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: Celtics to ninety two.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: Holy cow.

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: In what way is Bones Highland embracing the added playing

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: time and responsibility?

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think you know those are the hardwired score

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: and you can really put the ball in the basketing

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: and do it in a variety ways. He plays with

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: great pace, and you know, he's really been kind of

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: the guy to pick up the scoring where you know

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: where we're missing Anthony. And he's not only just done

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: it with you know, good scoring numbers, but he's also

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: done it with timely scoring, Like he's coming off the

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: bench and really kind of giving us a jolt when

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: perhaps we've you know struggled to score coming out of

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: the gate. So I think that's like the biggest thing.

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: And then you know, throughout a long run, he's playing

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: kind of long shifts right now, and you know he'll

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: have multiple you know spots during that shift where he'll score.

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: But I really love what he's he's dealing with. Just

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: the pace in general, and the chemistry that he has

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: with Io right now is pretty high level for being,

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: you know, being so new together.

36
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: It's I mean, yeah, I was going to get to that.

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's being so new together for sure. It's

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: just high level. I mean, how how confidently and cohesively

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: those two play together. And you know, Sunday at Boston,

40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: I know, Naz missed that Friday night game against Portland,

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: and you know it's it's a conversation for a different time.

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Nas Reid and his ferocity on Sunday, how about that?

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean he he played with his hair on fire.

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was awesome. I mean, you know he struggled

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 2: early on. It was expected that, you know, he missed

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: a couple of games in the NBA, and he'm surprised.

47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: How how rusty you get. You know, you're coming back

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: into you know, a race where everyone's going hundred miles

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: an hour and you're trying to get up to speed.

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: But he kept sticking with it. Everything he did was aggressive.

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: Then he caught his little run just you know, right

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: when we needed it most. I thought he's done that

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: a couple of times, you know, he had. We had

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: a big game in Denver a few weeks earlier. You

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: were there, and he kind of struggled early and then

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: caught fire late and was kind of a difference maker

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: offensively for us.

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Uh, you coach Finch, you've been harping on them a

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: bit to rebound better and IO assume who clearly was listening.

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Man eight boards a game, the last four eight boards

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: a game, the last four In what ways does that

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: help you guys win games?

63
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: Well? I mean yeah, I mean our defense, our first

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: shot defense is the top five defense in the league.

65
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: You know, our defense overall has falling to kind of

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: eight to nine range, which is you know, we're it's

67
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: largely just being drug down by our inability to rebound consistently,

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: and you know, Rudy off the floor, we really struggled

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: at times. And when I've always maintained that, like when

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: you know, you're never going to be a really good

71
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: rebounder until your guards are great rebounders, just because the

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: nature of the game right now is so many long,

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: long shots, threes, long rebounds. You know, people crashing from

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: the perimeter in waves more so than they ever have

75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: done in the past. So your guard's got to join

76
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: the rebounding party.

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: Jade McDaniels has fifty six shots the last four games,

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: fifty six the last four. He had sixty two shots

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the eight previous. He's made seven threes the last four

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: and that's more than he made the last month of games.

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Is Jaden McDaniels playing as freely right now as you've

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: seen maybe since that Denver win where I saw you

83
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago.

84
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think you know right now, you know,

85
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: he he didn't you know, he didn't shoot the ball

86
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: well coming out of gate in Boston, but I think

87
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: you know, just knowing the ball was going to keep

88
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: coming his direction and sticking with it, and he made

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: a really big one out of the timeout, three out

90
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: of timeout that we desperately needed to go in. He

91
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: needed to see it go into and I kind of

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: got his mind right, And yeah, he's you know, he's

93
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 2: playing really good offensive basketball right now. Is probably playing

94
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: great at both ends as he always does.

95
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: Any idea when Anthony comes back.

96
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: Nothing definite yet. I think I think tomorrow we'll get

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: another update.

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: So he was out there on the court shooting. I

99
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: think I saw on the social media machine, right, that's

100
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: a good step.

101
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, he's you know, he's out there. He's started

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: as a turn to play a protocol. So yeah, he's

103
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: definitely out there doing some basketball things.

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: Uh well.

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: And and speaking of that, speaking of him, last week,

106
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: we talked about Edwards watching things from Afar and maybe

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: seeing some eye opening stuff. Is it fair to say

108
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: when the ancillary players you have are more involved, things

109
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: are at their best, not only for Anthony but for

110
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: the team.

111
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: I think you could say that for any team right now.

112
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: For sure. I'm just a huge believer in that. You know, everybody,

113
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: basketball is the highly connected sport. Everybody's got to be

114
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: a part of what we're doing. I think five guys

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: work for one shot every single time down. I think

116
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: that everyone has a has a part to play with

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: be you know, spacing, moving, cutting, screening, passing to each other,

118
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: all that stuff matters. Yeah, I think what we need

119
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: to maintain when Anthony comes back is our pace is

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: really good right now. You know, early movement is really

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: good right now, and you know these are things that

122
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: we've done with him as well, and then but you know,

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: consistency consistently at this time to develop that that rhythm

124
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: that will need heading into the postseason.

125
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: Chris Finch courtesy of Second Harvest Heartlind and two Harvest

126
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: dot Org fnch. He's on the board, so two Harvest

127
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: dot Org if you'd like to help, that'd be cool.

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: And I'm also prize picks. I mentioned it earlier in passing.

129
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: You guys held the Celtics to ninety two points, I

130
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: mean and it was Tatum Brown Derek White, so they

131
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: got their NB three there. What what played into that

132
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: that that was spectacular?

133
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: Well, I think you know, our on ball defense or

134
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: one on one defense was really really good. That's where

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 2: it starts with Boston. They heavy iceo team with great

136
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: players and break you down and get their own shot

137
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: and create for each other and then that starts the

138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: chain reaction and usually leads to a high number of

139
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: three point shots. So if you're really good there and

140
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: don't give him second shot opportunities, you know, you got

141
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: to got a chance. And you know we've got good

142
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: one on one defenders that way, and they took the

143
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: challenge and they were outstanding.

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: How Julius Randall? How does Julius respond to hard coaching?

145
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: And and I I asked that because I know you

146
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: guys go back years to your New Orleans days and

147
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and on this radio show and other places you always

148
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: have have just voiced loudly that you love his game.

149
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: You're quite fond of him, and you guys go go

150
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: far back. So like when when when the coaching is

151
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: hard with him, how does he respond?

152
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: He's great? I mean, you know he also he played

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: for Calipari in college, Like he's just so I was coaching,

154
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: He's not. He played for Tibbs in New York, like

155
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: you know, these guys are truth tellers. And then he

156
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: wants that. You know, I think you know he's he's

157
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: We're lucky in that regard, you know, but uh, and

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: everything still remains I do love his game. I know

159
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: how important he is for us. Uh, he's extremely important.

160
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: I thought he played really good the other day. He

161
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: just didn't connect, you know, his shot just didn't go

162
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: to go in. But everything else we needed him to

163
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: do he did. He rebounded at a high level. Yep,

164
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: he guarded at a high level. You know, we still

165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: were able to generate offense through him. He stuck with it.

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: He made big, big three down the stretch. He helped

167
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: us close that game. And and that's you know, that's

168
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: the way you want guys like your best players respond.

169
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: Nine rebounds at the Garden for Julius. Hey, I don't

170
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: exactly know what the rules are here, Chris, but like,

171
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: if I bring up a college player's name, can you

172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: talk about him?

173
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: Uh? I prefer not to.

174
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: All Right, well let's let's go.

175
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: Let's go in code because you just mentioned John Calipari. Well,

176
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Allen, So I'm PA. There are a lot

177
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: of people in the world with initials DA, and they

178
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: happen to be young, you know, like fresh into the scene.

179
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Calipari, let's just say have some good players,

180
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: doesn't he right?

181
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: Sure? Does? Yeah? I mean I'm been watching a tournament.

182
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: Like I don't pay too much attention to college basketball

183
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: throughout the season. I see it from here from time

184
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: to time, you know, as we get to this point,

185
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: like the front office, so you know, PLU me in

186
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: on some people that maybe watch, and I'll certainly ask

187
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: questions like hey, tell me about this guy and that guy,

188
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: and you know, yeah, because it's a lot a lot

189
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: easier for me to watch basketball with these, you know,

190
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: the tournament games each time because they're so yeah profile

191
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: and you know exactly where to find everybody. So yeah.

192
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Likewise, I mean like if you have a nice shirt,

193
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, you may have a cuff for your sleeve.

194
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: And holy out, I don't watch college basketball league.

195
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of this is new to me, and

196
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy count with this kid anyway, free too.

197
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: Chris Finch second Harvest Heart LAMB Prize picks. Uh What

198
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: did what did that Schengen triple double at Chicago look like?

199
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: On film?

200
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean the balls defense ain't great, but still despite

201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: losing and you got Houston tonight, he chewed them up.

202
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: Holy cow.

203
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he's I mean, he's tremendously skilled player.

204
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's an offensive system unto himself. He

205
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: can score, he's got touch, he can shoot from inside outside,

206
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: he can pass, he's really good in the pocket when

207
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: you give them the ball against pressure at the top

208
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: of the floor. You know, it's been funny like the

209
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: times that we've played them over the last few years.

210
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: You know, whoever kind of wins the matchup between him

211
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: and Rudy has kind of won the game, you know.

212
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: So and uh, and he's a handful because he has

213
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: a lot of games with Ut.

214
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: With the Rockets, Chris with with Amen Thompson. Are they

215
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: kind of like you guys? And I know Van Bleet

216
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: is down for the here, but with Thompson, are they

217
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: kind of like you guys in that they don't have

218
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: a traditional point guard? And and if so, how does

219
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: that factor into the way they play?

220
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very much uh, you know, they very much

221
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: operate on traditional point guard. Uh. But you know they're

222
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: they're in they're and you know, he can even extrapolate

223
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 2: that out like to Jewel to you know, Sengoon is

224
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: a primary playmaker for them as much as anything in

225
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: the center of the floor, just the way that we

226
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: use Julius. They have a you know, potent scorer that

227
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: commands a lot of attention with the and he gets

228
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: the ball early in the offense all the time, just

229
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: like Anthony does for us. That's obviously Durant I'm talking about.

230
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: And then Thompson, He's he handles, He's like a one

231
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: man fast break. They do a really good job of

232
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: playing him at the bottom of the floor and the

233
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 2: dunker along the baseline. He's elite. I think the numbers

234
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: will tell you he's probably he is the best offensive

235
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: rebounding guard in the history of the game. So he's

236
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: he's just a force there. So the things that he

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: can do well, he's e leite at even though he's

238
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: not necessarily a true point guard. They use him in

239
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: a very smart and strategic way.

240
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: And I'm glad you mentioned Durant.

241
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Julius and Durant had an epic scoring battle when you

242
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: guys met a couple of months ago. Each went for

243
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: thirty nine KD shot for fourteen free throws that game.

244
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: He's almost thirty eight years of age and still scores

245
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: with the best of them, doesn't he.

246
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's incredible to watch, like his game

247
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: is extremely smooth and polished, and it just feels like

248
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: every time he shoots it, it's going to go in.

249
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: And that's you know, the coach is kind of kind

250
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: of a krummy feeling because it feels like you can't

251
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: really bother them all that much. It's just such great length,

252
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: unbelievable touch. You know, he makes hard shots look easy.

253
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: All right?

254
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: Last two here, man, I appreciate you. Wolves into rock

255
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Gets tonight Target Center. Uh do do you think the

256
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Rockets are going to play Hacker Rudy again?

257
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: This time? Hacker Gobert?

258
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: He shot ten free throws that January game, sadly only

259
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: made two and it actually it really factored into the loss.

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: You think they're going to do that tonight.

261
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see. I mean, there's every chance.

262
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: I think sometimes people wait to see how Rudy's been

263
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: shooting him through the game before they decide to do that.

264
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: But generally most teams wrapped Rudy up if he's around

265
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: the around the basket and make him earn it from

266
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: the free throw line.

267
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: After tonight last one, only three left at home in

268
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the regular season, and from the Lakers down to the

269
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Rockets with you you guys in Denver, in between Joker

270
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: at a just a nasty triple double last night. What

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: what an absolute battle it's going to be for the

272
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: three and four.

273
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 3: Spots and home court.

274
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: What what do you like about the way you guys

275
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: are playing right now?

276
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I think for us it's you know, our

277
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: defense is really it feels like it's really kind of

278
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: found itself in terms of its consistency. We know what

279
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna look like every time down the floor. I

280
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: like that. I feel as as I felt all season.

281
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: You know, we're able, We're capable of winning, uh anywhere

282
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: against anybody, but you know, we're also capable of the opposite.

283
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: So but I think our focus has been pretty good

284
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: right now. I think the Portland game, you know, it

285
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: wasn't wasn't great. We struggled offensively there a little bit,

286
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: we struggled to rebound, but everything else we did, you know,

287
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: it was I thought was kind of on point. You know,

288
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: it wasn't It wasn't a game plan issue or anything

289
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: like that. It wasn't like an execution issue. It was

290
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: literally just had to go get the ball a little

291
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: bit more when we made a misshot. But if we

292
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: if we can we if we can rebound like we

293
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: did the other day against Boston. If we can do

294
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: that consistency, consistently, you know we're gonna be just fine.

295
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Chris, have a great day and to tear up the

296

Speaker 3: That awesome Covenant Claps team. Ye, Covenant Claps team.

349
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: Certainly, I can't claim to have heard a lot of

350
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: fight calls in my day. Likewise, for you, Yeah, Sam,

351
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: if there's better, I need to hear it. I know

352
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: that was spectacular work by Joe O'Donnell on that call.

353
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: Well done. I have heard a lot of fight calls

354
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: and that sounded just like them.

355
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 6: Right, you're called a hockey game and now you got

356
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 6: to call a fight just like that.

357
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: But think about it and and Max is uh, are

358
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: are you more into MMA or boxing or both?

359
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: Well these days more mma just because boxing is kind

360
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 4: of dead, but historically boxing was one of my first

361
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 4: loves in life.

362
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: That's that's what I was going to get to because

363
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: that fight there where they legitimately both took a breath

364
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: during the fight when they were holding the jerseys spinning around,

365
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: and then they went at it again. I mean, that's

366
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: like the best fight anybody seen since Marvelous Marvin Hagler

367
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: and Sugar Ray Leonard. We got to go back on me,

368
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: Mike i In and Buster Douglas Mama said, knock somebody out.

369
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a good fight and a wonderful,

370
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: wonderful call man.

371
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: Thanks for finding that, Max.

372
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, that was a little no rumble in the jungle,

373
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: but I mean it was. It was a tussle in

374
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 4: Tampa for so have you have you seen When We

375
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: Were Kings the movie it's it's one of the most

376
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 4: unbelievable documentaries of all time.

377
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Ali and Fraser in was it Zair?

378
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: I believe it was a yeah and see the like

379
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: you started the show with Parliament Funkadelic and and what

380
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: was the name of the song One Nation Under One

381
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: Nation under a groove getting down just for the funk

382
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: of it. And uh so that's back to the seventies

383
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: with that music and that that has been you know,

384
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: when we play songs like that, old school R and

385
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: B has been the rhythmic motif of the nine to

386
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: Noon radio show. In the documentary When We Were Kings,

387
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: the Spinners, Oh yeah, okay, a band called the Spinners

388
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: I think from Philadelphia. They you know, were like eight

389
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: years into their career. Barrero with I'll Be Around the

390
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: closing song. I believe it's the closing song for Bumper

391
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 1: Bumper with Berrero. That's the Spinners. It's a shame a

392
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: montage song that then Nine to Noon has used a

393
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: million times, Rubber band Man, things like that. So the

394
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: Spinners are R and B immortality. Well, they're all over

395
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: that documentary when We Were King So that just that

396
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: throws it back to those days.

397
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: Man.

398
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: But that yeah, Wat's that for sure if you haven't

399
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: seen it when we were Kings at this documentary about

400
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: Ali and Frasier Pete Fox, I have Parker Fox two

401
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: four back to hockey in a second. Actually, Heinzi joins

402
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes from now, So save hockey for them.

403
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Off the Finch conversation, Parker, you said in here and

404
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: listen to it. A big one for the Wolves tonight,

405
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: A big one for the Wolves tonight, Boys Maxwell included.

406
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: Wolves are two behind the Lakers for third in the

407
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: West and a half game behind for fourth, home court

408
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: advantage in the first round, and all the pertinent teams

409
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: are in play tonight. So here's here are the things

410
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: for which we're rooting boys Minnesota to beat Houston. Can

411
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: we get the Indiana Pacers to jump up and stun

412
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: the Lake Show? Can we get the Pacers to jump

413
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: up and stun anybody with.

414
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: Parker's guy Jay Hoff?

415
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: And can we get Cooper Flag in his Dallas Mavericks

416
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: to jump up and stun the Denver Nuggets? Good morning,

417
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: Parker Fox. That there would be nice if we had

418
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: some upsets tonight. It would be fun.

419
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 6: You look at the Western Conference right now, and you

420
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 6: kind of sit ten games from the playoff, and you think,

421
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 6: where do you want to be right what team do

422
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 6: you want to see? And I know you can't always,

423
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 6: you know, pick your lot in life. You can't always

424
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 6: pick the team you're going to play, but we can

425
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 6: start to speculate. And I look across the board and

426
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 6: I look at the way the Lakers are playing right now,

427
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 6: and I get a little scared, PA because the way

428
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 6: Luka Doncic is playing right now currently in his state,

429
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 6: he had one hundred points over a two game state.

430
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 6: He's playing at a huge level. Lebron's playing well, Austin

431
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 6: Reeves is playing well. I don't want to see them.

432
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 6: And then I go to Denver and I think, oh,

433
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: you know, we've had Denver's number over the past couple

434
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 6: of years. We like playing them, We're matchup well against them.

435
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 6: But that's a dangerous first round matchup as well. So

436
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 6: then I go to Houston and I look at the

437
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 6: Houston Rockets and I say, oh, this isn't a team

438
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 6: that shoots a three point shot.

439
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 3: Really well, we're a lot of deep twos.

440
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 6: Okay, they get to the rim, but they offensively rebound

441
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 6: really well, so we can take that aspect of the

442
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 6: well al friend Sanguine. You've seen his game. It's the tips,

443
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 6: it's the yolkic, it's all the stuff around the rim.

444
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 6: So if you take the offensive rebound all of the equation,

445
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 6: I really like the matchups that the Timberwolves have against

446
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 6: the Houston Rockets.

447
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 3: All right, this is good with Pete Fox.

448
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: We're gonna marathon it and thanks to Steve's Appliances and

458
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: Yesterday, when we were free wheeling at the end, I

459
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: brought something up in passing to you.

460
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: Parker just touched on it, like we.

461
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: We need to get our focus on exactly what we

462
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: think of the LA Lakers all right, now they have

463
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: the audacity to take a loss the other day because

464
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: they had won like nine in a row.

465
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Luca.

466
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: If Luca doesn't win the MVP, I'm not going to

467
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: be offended. But like like I said yesterday, he came

468
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: into the league in shape and skinny, and he's still

469
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: in shape and skinny, So he's paying attention to that.

470
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: He has an off the court distraction and personal life

471
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: situation that's incredibly heavy involving children and custody, that's on

472
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: his mind. He's playing through it. His dogs are elevating him.

473
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: But for me, the the the single biggest factor that

474
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: that has me fearing the LA Lakers if I'm an adversary,

475
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: is is it's clear Lebron James has accepted the number

476
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: three role in an MB three where he's like, got

477
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: to make Luca better, got to make Austin Reeves better,

478
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: and then we got me, and then you got Marcus

479
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: Smart trying to lock people down. Does pretty good job

480
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: at it in the later stages of his career. So, like,

481
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: what do you think of the Lakers if we oh,

482
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: wait a second, I'm halling with the homiesy with.

483
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: The homies on faanline.

484
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: Haling with the homieses, that's right, Wolves fanline holling with

485
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: the homies.

486
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: Come on.

487
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: So let's go to the host of hallin with the Homies.

488
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: Then we'll get to the analyst the Lakers. Your thoughts,

489
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm totally in agree with with you, M Parker.

490
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm not super you know, a year ago we watched

491
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: what the Wolves did to the Lakers, but this is

492
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: not the Lakers of a year ago. They figured they

493
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 4: figured it out because I think that kind of was

494
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 4: the biggest conundrum coming into season, is what is going

495
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: to be this dynamic with Luka Doncics, who's obviously in

496
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 4: the prime of his career, in Lebron James, who clearly

497
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: is not, and then with Lebron being gone. It's one

498
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: of those things. It's an overused thing in sports media

499
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 4: where we say, well, so and so's injury could be

500
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: a silver lining, and I mean, Lebron James being injured

501
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 4: is never a silver lining. But this Lakers team really

502
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: learned how to play like in sync with one another

503
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: without Lebron being a part of that. And it's a

504
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: lot easier for Lebron James to adjust to what they

505
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: have going on than for them to try to figure

506
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 4: out their their kind of ecosystem with Lebron James in

507
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: the mix the entire time. So I think he kind

508
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 4: of had no choice but to accept that third role

509
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 4: in that Lakers lineup, and that's a dangerous Lebron. Lebron

510
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 4: that's only focus on elevating his teammates, something he's been

511
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: excelling at for his entire career, something that people used

512
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 4: to criticize him for because he wasn't Kobe and Michael

513
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 4: Jordan give me the ball in every single situation. He's

514
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: always been that guy that's thinking about making the best play,

515
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 4: and now that's all he has to focus on. Essentially,

516
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: he doesn't really have to be carry that scoring load

517
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 4: on his shoulder anymore because the Lakers have Lou Good done,

518
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 4: they have Austin Reeves, and the Wolves happen to have

519
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 4: this year and over the last couple of years, really

520
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: a guard guarding problem.

521
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: Pete Fox, don't fail me.

522
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 6: Now, Well, I love what Maxim has to say, and

523
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 6: you look at a Lebron James that has taken the

524
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 6: load of passing and maybe a little bit more on

525
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 6: the defensive side of the ball. But he's playing thirty

526
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 6: five to forty two minutes a night. Ron, Yeah, yeah,

527
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 6: he's playing a lot. Well, they don't want to really

528
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 6: go past seven. They're sitting at a position where you

529
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 6: know you got Ruy, you got Marcus Smart, you got

530
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 6: La Ravia, you got Luke Canard. But put past that,

531
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 6: it's it's a little spooky for La. And that's something

532
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 6: I think. We're in a seven game series against a

533
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 6: deeper Timberwols team where you want to go Bones and

534
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 6: you want to go Io, but hey, if you have to,

535
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 6: you can go Terrence Shannon and Jalen Clark on the

536
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 6: defensive end as well. So I think that's an advantage

537
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 6: for the Wolves. But when you look at the Lakers

538
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 6: as a whole, it's gonna be Luka Doncic, it's gonna

539
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 6: be ball in hands, get out of the way, mix

540
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 6: in a little Austin Reeves here. There set a ball

541
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 6: string with DeAndre Eaton. When it comes down to the

542
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 6: final couple minutes, it's winnings time, it's Luca time.

543
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: Aunt's out there taking shots. So his return seems to

544
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: be relatively near. As I mentioned with the coach Chris

545
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: Finch in the last segment, tell me what you guys

546
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: think about this? Allen with the homies, Jaden McDaniels, I've

547
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: just convinced myself that he has to become more of

548
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: an offensive factor when Edwards returns, and the reasoning of

549
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: getting getting there may not be completely acceptable where it

550
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: may be. Hey, if Aunt and Julius are gunning, and Vincenzo,

551
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: if they're all gunning and they're all good at what

552
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: they do, and Jayden gets shut out of the mix

553
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, gets a little let's just say, gets

554
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: a little quiet, gets a little distant. You know, it's

555
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: not the most engaged during the games, and you know,

556
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: unless he seems to be included offensively and Jayden can score.

557
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: So maybe when Aunt returns, maybe the secret to that

558
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: sauce is finding a way to make sure McDaniels, who

559
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: won't have the AB or maybe C defensive matchups, gets

560
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: himself in one on one positions and is more consistently

561
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: involved offensively.

562
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: What do the homies think?

563
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you, and I think the Wolves

564
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: actually were asked about this the other day. Is kind

565
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 4: of ball movement or lack thereof has been one of

566
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 4: the consistent achilles heels of this Wolves, specifically this iteration

567
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: of the Wolves, but over the last couple of years

568
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 4: in general. And Rudy was actually talking about this postgame,

569
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: I believe, after the Celtics game, and he was talking

570
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: about how the lack of ball movement not only affects

571
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 4: the offense, but can affect the defense as well, because

572
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: when guys aren't getting the ball, they're kind of just

573
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 4: sitting there.

574
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: They end up We've seen it watching the game.

575
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: Sometimes these guys end up watching Anthony Edwards just like

576
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: the rest of us. They're just standing around there. And

577
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: obviously you're not getting that energy, you're not feeling like

578
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 4: you're a part of it. You're not as locked in

579
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 4: if you're not feeling like you're included on the offensive end,

580
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 4: So it obviously affects it ends up in turn affecting

581
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 4: the defensive end. And I think Jade McDaniels is probably

582
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 4: the biggest, the most clear and obvious example of that.

583
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: And if we can get Jaden some more touches also,

584
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of addition by subtraction, because that

585
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: would in turn, I would assume that would mean less

586
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: touches for Julius Randa, who I'm not trying to knock

587
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 4: on here, but he hasn't been shooting out a very

588
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 4: efficient clip lately. So maybe less touches for Julius equals

589
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: more touches for Jayden equals a more efficient Woes offense.

590
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 3: That one with the Homies, well, we highlighted it on

591
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: Monday as well.

592
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 6: Pas is using the shot clock right, like, if you

593
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: can get out and transition, you can score in the

594
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: first five to seven seconds of the shot clock. Do it,

595
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 6: But then it doesn't have to be at the ten

596
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 6: to fourteen second mark. Shot has to come up because

597
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 6: we can't run our offense or the first initial action

598
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 6: didn't work. So now Anthony Edwards has a ball in

599
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 6: his hands and it's isolation creation time. That's not necessarily

600
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: what this offense has to be. And I think we've

601
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 6: seen that over the past couple of games. Without Ant

602
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 6: in the game, there's been more flow, there's been more action,

603
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 6: and I a thousand percent agree with the both of you.

604
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 6: Ja McDaniels is an offensive threat, like if you look

605
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 6: at the stuff from high school into college, early in

606
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 6: his career and now he's been such a great defender,

607
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: so he's kind of been toted as that, and here

608
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 6: he is as this defensive prowess. But like, this guy

609
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 6: should be shooting the ball ten to twelve times a game.

610
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 6: And I know that might be a little high for

611
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 6: some people to like, but like, there's no reason not

612
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 6: because he's so he's such a threat offensively three level.

613
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 6: He can do that little slow step at the rim,

614
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 6: he's long enough to finish at the rim. He's decent

615
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 6: in the mid range, and when he's open from three,

616
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 6: he's knocking down shots, especially in the corner. So I

617
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 6: think when you look at the evolution of the Timberwolves offense,

618
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 6: continue to push and transition, use io and bones and

619
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 6: and when he comes back and Jaden in transition, that's

620
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 6: good for your game. But then if not run through

621
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 6: an offense, don't be afraid to go late into the

622
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 6: shot clock.

623
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 4: And don't you think Parker that at least more so

624
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 4: in the regular season. We've seen flashes of it in

625
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: the playoffs, but more so in the regular season this

626
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 4: year than previous years. We've seen way more flashes of

627
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: Jaden being that offensive threat that we've been asking for

628
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 4: for the last couple of years, and obviously he was

629
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 4: a huge X factor in last year's playoff run as well.

630
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 4: So I think if it's there, obviously it's just it's

631
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: bubbling up, it's waiting to just reach the surface.

632
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: There.

633
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Two and a half minutes, Pete Fox, you're in the

634
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: league college basketball mind, Max? Do you watch a lot

635
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: of the NCAA Tournament. I try to tune as much

636
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: as possible. But Parker, I mean, this is this is

637
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: Parker's lane. Let Parker cook right here. All right, let's

638
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: roll through this in two and a half three minutes,

639
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: Pete Fox on the lead vocals, And here they are.

640
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: Who do we like and why? Eleven Texas and two Purdue? Yeah,

641
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: I love Purdue.

642
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 6: Big ten is representing here in the Sweet sixteen produce

643
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 6: seven and a half point favorites.

644
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 3: I think they're just too much.

645
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 6: You go with the best point guard in the country

646
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 6: in my opinion. I know Darius Acuff is the young

647
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 6: he's the hype, but Briton Smith's the passer.

648
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: He's the truth.

649
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 6: NCAA assist leader, He's a guy that he can he

650
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 6: can do it at all level levels. And then you

651
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 6: go fletch your lawyer with him on the wing. They're

652
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 6: just too deep in the back court. Texas doesn't have

653
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 6: the experience that Purdue does. Iowa was a nine, Nebraska's

654
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 6: a four. Big Ten matchup here, it's kind of cool.

655
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 3: How fun is this?

656
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: Huh?

657
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: I love it?

658
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: Who do we like? And why?

659
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 6: I got think this as a super low scoring game.

660
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 6: It's gonna be it's gonna be a meat it's gonna

661
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 6: be a meat grinder. It's gonna be two elite coaches,

662
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 6: one that we love here in Minnesota and fast Freddy

663
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 6: and I think this is going to be a matchup

664
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 6: that everybody's going to be excited to watch because it's

665
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 6: going to be growing man basketball.

666
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: The whistles are going to be swallowed like.

667
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 6: This is going to be pounded in the paint and

668
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 6: then hit the shots from the outside. Iowa has the

669
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: best player in Bennett Starts, but Nebraska has the better team.

670
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: They're too deep, they're too big. Starts better than Sanford.

671
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Starts is going to be I mean, they're both

672
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 6: gonna be NBA players in my opinion. But the way

673
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 6: that Bennett Starts can control on offense with the ball

674
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 6: in his hand, Stanford's the best shooter left in the tournament.

675
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: I go Nebraska in a close one.

676
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: Arkansas is a six, Arizona is a one who wins

677
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: them wide. Well, I hated when it came out with

678
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: a ten and a half point spread. It's down to

679
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: seven and a half now, which I think is a

680
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: little bit more fair. You got two elite coach coaches

681
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: in Lloyd and Calipari here. I think Arkansas again has

682
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: the best player in Darius Acuff Junior, but Arizona is

683
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: too deep coed Pete some of their bigs, and then

684
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: Bradley their point guard. I'm always I'm always pro experienced

685
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: point guard. I love Bradley, and I think Arizona gets

686
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: it done. I'm out of time, and do me a favor.

687
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: Put off the nine in the noon conversation. Can you

688
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: put on at Parker Fox two four with these eight games?

689
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: Who you think is gonna win it? And I'll retweet

690
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: it when I see it.

691
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: Okay, lastly, before you leave, we got to get this

692
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: out of the way because it potentially is a problem

693
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: with with Pea fox A. Dustin Baker tweeted Kyler Murray

694
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: as five and one versus the Packers and Lions Lions

695
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: during his career.

696
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 3: Parker retweeted it, why the hate bro I retweeted it

697
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: because he's due. He's due for one.

698
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 6: Regression of the means like, there's wins that need to

699
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 6: be happening.

700
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: I mean, and there what's your next tweet with Kyle

701
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: are going to be?

702
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, some five to one person running around baggage

703
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: claim at an airport, bobblehead looking for a big wheel.

704
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 4: That was an elite Parker Fox, Spin, Move out of that. Fox,

705
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: all right, You tried to box him up.

706
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: He's spin.

707
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: Moved out of it. He's due, man, He's due.

708
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, we were howling with the homies Parker Fox,

715
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild, joins us now

716
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: too to go on the road this week. Dropped one

717
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: last night at Tampa Bay and the six to three

718
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: score is not indicative of how the game went. Nevertheless,

719
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: it's still a loss, and Heinze joins US NOW coach

720
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: Hines Paul Allen, Good morning, how are things.

721
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: Apa, Good morning to you all. Good down here in Florida.

722
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't it be eighty two degrees where you are?

723
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: And then like in South Florida, do you eight with

724
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: the South Florida weather the next couple of days you

725
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: get any time to wiggle your toes in the sand

726
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: at the beach and maybe smell the roses for half

727
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: a second.

728
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I will probably will go to

729
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: the beast.

730
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 7: I'll certainly try to get out, you know, get outside,

731
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 7: go for a walk and spend some time out there,

732
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 7: get some get some sun.

733
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: Sign house. We all know it's healthy and good for you.

734
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 7: And yeah, when we're not propping the team, we'll try

735
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 7: to think.

736
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: An hour so to relax a little bit and.

737
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: Enjoy, take a walk, get some of that ocean air,

738
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: and construct the next great neutral zone trap nobody's seen.

739
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's exactly right.

740
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 7: Sometimes that that salt air gets the brain going in

741
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 7: a good way.

742
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 2: Hopefully that happens.

743
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: We'll never see it coming, coach.

744
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: All right, So the game last night, Man two forty

745
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: four to go, it got weird, uh puck off the

746
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: boards behind Gus and off his right leg. Then Surnac

747
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: with the game winning goal. What's the read there, John,

748
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: or does it personify puck luck? And Gus was making

749
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: the right play, it just didn't go the right way.

750
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just think it took a bad bounce. I

751
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 7: mean that's you know, Gus that played really good for

752
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 7: us all night long. He was actually handling the puck

753
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 7: last night at a high level, and you know, unfortunately

754
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 7: it was it was a bad bounce. I think he

755
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 7: was going to play play it with his stick and

756
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 7: then he started to see it kind of bounce and

757
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 7: then he tried to play it with his glove. And

758
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 7: I would say a little bit of puck luck on

759
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 7: their part more than a misplay on Gus's.

760
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: Park ay Man and Gus had to feel awful about

761
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: that bloky goal. I'm not in the room. I'm just

762
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: like riding a vibe here. Did he bounce out of it?

763
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 3: Okay?

764
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: And I would imagine because you guys are so close there,

765
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: what a wonderfully close team. This is great support in

766
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: the room for him or is that like too touchy feely.

767
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 7: No, No, I mean guys, you know, you win as

768
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 7: a team and he loses a team, and I think

769
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 7: guys recognize that, and you know that that happened to

770
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 7: him be a mistake that was glaring because of the

771
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 7: time and the time and score of the game.

772
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: But there was other mistakes that were made, and you know, Gus.

773
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 7: Has helped us win a lot of games sometimes when

774
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 7: when other guys have made mistakes in front of him,

775
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 7: or I've made a mistake, or whoever is involved with

776
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 7: the team. So you know, it's unfortunate that happened, but

777
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 7: it certainly was sometimes that happens two really good players.

778
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: Coach, what what did you make of mccarran's disallowed goal.

779
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 7: Well, you know, by the letter of the law, it

780
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 7: says if you launch it, if you if you push

781
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 7: a player into the goalie. You know, I felt like

782
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 7: there was no effort to get out of the crease.

783
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 7: I did see Vassilevski, you know, did make a save

784
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 7: and then he was gonna he was gonna put his

785
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 7: glove on top of the puck before McCarran got it

786
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 7: and missed it. So you know, it's tough with the

787
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 7: goalie interference with I mean, you can look at it

788
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 7: five different ways. We study and we try to do

789
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 7: the best job we can to get all the calls

790
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 7: right on our side. When when they go against you,

791
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 7: you know, sometimes you don't have any idea what the

792
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 7: sometimes what the true meaning of the of the interpretation

793
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 7: of the rule is by the people that make it.

794
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: You you think they make that same call in the

795
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: postseason when they tendency to swallow whistles.

796
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 7: I would think possibly in that situation, yes, because there

797
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 7: was a there was a you know, there was a

798
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 7: player pushed into the goalie and yeah, it was a

799
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 7: net front scrum, right, So I would think possibly in

800
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 7: that situation, Yes.

801
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, so for Tampa Bay.

802
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: And I don't know, man, if it's bugging me a little,

803
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: it's probably bugging you more. But twenty four hour rule,

804
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: you got to let it go for the Lightning. It

805
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: was their fourth game in five nights, uh, their first

806
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: their first home game off a nine day trip with

807
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: travel Monday, and you jumped them three to one.

808
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys jumped them.

809
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: Man.

810
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: They looked tired. What changed after that?

811
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: Our puck management.

812
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 7: You know, I think that we, uh, we got away

813
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 7: from it a little bit, just really managing the park,

814
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,839
Speaker 7: putting in a good spots, being able to pressure them,

815
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 7: be on top of them. My fault in the second period,

816
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 7: you know, we started the force plays offensively, and I

817
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 7: think in any sport, you know, if you don't win

818
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 7: internal over battling football, you're gonna lose, you term the

819
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 7: basketball over, you know, and Nick ill advised decisions of

820
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 7: pass into traffic, You're not gonna score, They're gonna transition

821
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 7: back the other way. And we had a little bit

822
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 7: of that into our game in the middle segment, and

823
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 7: that allow them, you know, climb back into the game.

824
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 7: So that's something we're certainly addressing.

825
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: Uh so, uh during the game, Hughesy was hit and

826
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: Nick Felino went after, say, warn, is that something to

827
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: ponder with the postseason because the other guys absolutely are

828
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 1: going to come after Quinn, right.

829
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's both ways, yes, and they're probably gonna,

830
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 7: you know, part of playoff hockey is you're gonna, you know,

831
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 7: you're gonna you're gonna be hard on the other team's

832
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 7: top players. So whether that's you know, Husy or or

833
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 7: a couple other guys on our team. You know that's

834
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 7: gonna happen.

835
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: Now.

836
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 7: The flip side of that is, I love the response

837
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 7: by our team. I thought we up the any physically

838
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 7: physically throughout our lineup, and really like the answer by

839
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 7: Nick Poleeno. If you're gonna do that, then you're gonna

840
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 7: have to pay a price. It's not coming for free.

841
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 7: But the second part of that is us, you know,

842
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 7: being hard on the other team's top players too, and

843
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 7: we have the ability to do that. So from that

844
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 7: perspective in the game within the game last night, I

845
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 7: thought that was very good.

846
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: Beautiful answer.

847
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: John Hines, coach of the Minnesota While Okay, well off

848
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: that coach. Do you think the fights in any way

849
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: ignited the lightning when when you guys were completely dominating

850
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: the play.

851
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 7: No, because we had the better of him, right, I

852
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 7: mean Felino won his fight and m Karen won his fight,

853
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 7: you know, both of them pretty handedly. Yeah, So I

854
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 7: think that that, you know, that didn't soak any momentum

855
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 7: for them. It just came down to, you know, we

856
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 7: we wanted to get a little fancy with our play

857
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 7: when we had a team on the ropes and had

858
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 7: you know, we were playing the game the way we

859
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 7: need to play early and then you know we get

860
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 7: away from it instead of just consistently pounding them for

861
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 7: sixty minutes.

862
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: Right, we gave them a little life, but it wasn't

863
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: from the fight.

864
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys, I mean that they obviously with Coucher

865
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: Ross through point Best. I mean, they have so much

866
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: high end talent. You got you guys play the Lightning

867
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: so very well. Beat them five to one earlier this season.

868
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: And you know, for for Tampa Bay, Darren Radish the

869
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: Blue Liner he scored had an assist.

870
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 3: Hear me on this u f Faber and Hughes.

871
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: There's like Cale mccarr, Jake Sanderson for Ottawa, a cider

872
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: lane Hudson Young Blue Liners. Has the twenty nine and

873
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: under club of defenseman ever been this good? I mean

874
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: they're all over the place, right.

875
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a unique it's a unique set of defensemen.

876
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 7: I mean just the way that they all can play

877
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 7: and skate and I think your minds for the game.

878
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 7: You know, they're all highly competitive and you look at

879
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 7: like they they're changing the way almost defenses played.

880
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: They're such good skaters and they're almost like a fourth forward.

881
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 7: All over the ice, and that's been It changes the

882
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 7: dynamic of the teams that they're on at times when

883
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 7: they're doing that, but also changes the dynamic of the game.

884
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 7: So it's been pretty impressive to what uh.

885
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: For juwel Eric Zinak his first in about a week

886
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: and a half. How did he get through it? How'd

887
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: he come out of it? Everything good with eric Zak?

888
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 7: Yes, yep, I thought he couldn't, you know, competed higher,

889
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 7: got through the game.

890
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: Uh, no issues.

891
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 7: So that's a positive sign for him to get a

892
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 7: game in and and and come out here. And the

893
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 7: guy's got a little uh you know, recovery day meetings

894
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 7: and stuff today and practice tomorrow morning and then get

895
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 7: back at it. So all good with him as far

896
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 7: as I know right now.

897
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: Last one here, Quinn played almost half the game, Hughes,

898
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: he played nearly half the game. He he'd play a

899
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: full sixty if you let him, right.

900
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would.

901
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 7: That's you know sometimes speaking you got to I mean,

902
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 7: he's got listen, there's some guys that have an engine

903
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 7: and a tank that in a game.

904
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: They can play.

905
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 7: They can play some pretty big minutes and you know, Hughes,

906
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 7: he's one of those guys and uh, you know he's

907
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 7: he's a guy. He plays a lot of situations and

908
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 7: sometimes he gets rolling around on the offensive zone where

909
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 7: we have extended ships and sometimes that Jackson minutes up to.

910
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 7: But yes, he's he's a player that's gonna he's got

911
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 7: a big engine.

912
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: But potentially dumb question here, But like with the Wild

913
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,479
Speaker 1: New Jersey Nashville whatever did do? Do players ever wave

914
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: you off? But like, you know, like wave off a

915
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: change at any point of a game.

916
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 7: No, I wouldn't say outright wave off. That wouldn't go

917
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 7: over too well. But but I would say that, you know,

918
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 7: sometimes there are decisions on when the change. Yeah, you

919
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 7: may have an issue with, but it's never you know,

920
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 7: it's not like someone would say no, I'm not coming

921
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 7: or you know, not not pay attention. Sometimes the decision

922
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 7: or the timing of the change needs to happen. But

923
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 7: you know, hockey players are you know, they're they're.

924
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 2: Not like that. Anyways.

925
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: Lastly, I do want to get this one in.

926
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: Like it was three to three last night, all right,

927
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: and there was a style of play up to that

928
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: three to three middle of the third period.

929
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 3: Then everything got really conservative.

930
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: Everything got some had some risk converse to it, and

931
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: it just the game kind of changed. And here's the question,

932
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 1: whether it's you, John Cooper or coaches around the NHL,

933
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: when when you have a tie game very late in

934
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: the season, in the third period, sometimes do you construct

935
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: it to play a certain way to try to make

936
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: sure you get at least a point?

937
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 7: Well, I don't know. It's not necessarily constructing it to

938
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 7: do that. I think that the awareness and the attention

939
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 7: to detail usually ticks up by both teams. You know,

940
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 7: two good teams that have won a lot and have

941
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 7: been good this season. You know, there's more I think

942
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 7: talk management like I talked about, and not high risk plays.

943
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 7: And both teams are are are playing its pretty sound defensively,

944
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 7: you know, making it hard on the other team, and

945
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 7: who's going to flinch first, you know, or who's going

946
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 7: to get a bounce first. Yeah, and I think that's

947
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 7: what was taking place last night.

948
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: Hey, good luck against the champs. Enjoy South Florida. Thanks

949
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: for the chat, my man.

950
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: All right, Ye you have great day.

951
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, see you.

952
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: Letter of John Hines, coach of the Minnesota Wild and

953
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: the Coaches Covenant for the first hour of the nine to.

954
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 3: Noon radio show is no longer in the air.

955
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: Chris Finch started the show Minnesota Timberwolves, Allen with the Homies,

956
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: and there was John Hines off off a difficult loss

957
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: last night to Tampa Bay. I means, you're still five

958
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: behind Dallas, didn't get any points. You ain't gonna catch Dallas,

959
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: so you got ten to go or whatever. The Stars

960
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: will have home ice in the first round. I'm just

961
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: dealing with it and now let's get ready to play.

962
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: But you know it's it's John's answer was cool, but

963
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: elite hockey minds, that would not be me. But elite

964
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: hockey minds know exactly what I'm talking about. Is when

965
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Lightning had been away from home for

966
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: nine days, that was their fourth game in five nights.

967
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: They traveled the day before and the body clock and

968
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: just like the human nature angle is just it was

969
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: just a little off kilter for those Lightning and came

970
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: out there just smashing them, I mean the outshooting them,

971
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: out hustling them, beating them to pucks in the corner

972
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: winning puck battles.

973
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 3: Were up three to one.

974
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: There was a missed opportunity for Heinsey squad last night,

975
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: in my estimation, to beat one of the best teams

976
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: in the NHL five one or worse. I mean the

977
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: lightning we're begging to get beat. Last night in the

978
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: wild looked great, but they couldn't close on it. So

979
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: now we take on the back to back champions, the

980
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: Florida Panthers tomorrow night on KFAN.

981
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 5: Let's play Hoggay.

982
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 1: The NFL has the owners meetings in Arizona next week

983
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: and one of the topics involves replacement officials and that's

984
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: quite troubling. If it actually gets to that point, we'll

985
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: land the plane on that when we continue at KFAM
