If not, I'll repeat it. The Good Doctor's 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.520 daughter is a professional soccer player. She's played in Germany, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.360 then Mexico for Club America Good Doctor is your friend, yes, 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:57.640 and now she plays for the NWSL the Boston Legacy FC. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:03.680 And as a father of three daughters, my oldest played lacrosse. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.160 Had to watch a lot of girls lacrosse. Kates can 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.960 attest because I don't know if it was the programming 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.719 that led him to leave my room, if it was 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.240 the odors I was emitting, if there was something, I 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.960 don't know what it was, but he left my room 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.880 while I was watching the Big Ten Women's Golf Championships 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.480 as a form of entertainment, point being, watch a lot 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.799 of the women's and the girls' sports, and I enjoy 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.680 a lot of the women's In the girls' sports, the 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.600 ladies run for gold in the Olympics, and hockey was 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.279 a great watch. The war Women's World Cup is always 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.760 a good watch. And yet there is one sport that 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:49.560 gets more attention, and the male sex is derided more 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.760 for not supporting it than any other. And it is 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:57.320 making its return, and it is on every morning show 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.599 that the wife watches, and it is on the front 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.960 page of the most popular sports website in the world, 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.880 theevilfour letter dot com, And routinely they trick you into 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.320 clicking on their stories by putting the city names instead 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.880 of the team names, and you then realize it's not 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.279 an NBA story but a WNBA story, and it is 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:23.200 completely unwatchable. Of all the women's sports, there is one 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:28.080 that is hard as all mother scratch in hell to watch. 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.279 It does not look like standard basketball. It feels like 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.279 a different sport entirely, and yet is the one. It's 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.360 not women's tennis that is a joy to watch, and 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.520 yet it is the one that they have chosen to 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:48.000 shove down our throats. And the NBA owns it or 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:53.520 I don't, I don't know, I don't know, we got maxed. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.440 Don't know if it's just a product of Yes, they 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.760 could own whatever sport they wanted. If they wanted to 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.480 own the women's Professional Soccer League, which looks like soccer 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.640 when you watch it, they could yeah. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.479 I mean, you know, man, at least they done a 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.560 really good job at marketing their number one star and 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.920 treating her with the respect she deserves forgetting everybody paid. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:19.559 They it truly is as curious as anything I've ever seen. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.280 For twenty plus years, that twenty five years, maybe thirty 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.120 years now, they have been trying to make this thing 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.200 work and have given it more attention and invested more 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:36.480 money and equity in programming that is probably worth five 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.120 thousand times the money that they've even sunk into it, 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.440 which is already one hundred times too much, and they're 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.520 doing it again. Is it is truly fascinating to me 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.000 that they continue to believe this is the women's sport 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.360 that we need to get behind, and this is the 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.200 one that's going to break into the mainstream and gain 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.880 a male viewership and really explode out of all the possibilities. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.320 Don't you like the universal basketball heel Angel. 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:08.120 Reese she is truly one of the worst basketball players. 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:08.720 Oh man. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.800 She shoots it like a twenty eight percent clip and 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.840 she is one of the faces of the league. It 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.440 is fascinating and it really hit me as I was 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.200 watching the SoC I'm like, man, the five total goals 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.480 that were scored were not fluky. One was on a 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.840 header from a corner. One was an absolute freaking laser 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.640 from outside the box around a defender. It was really 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.680 good soccer. And I'm like, and they don't give a damn, 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.520 but they will shove Angel Reese who shoots twenty percent 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.760 from the floor down our throats and say we have 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.319 to respect her. And she's a viable superstar. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.760 Gabby Hawkas is gonna save the league. Don't worry, Ronnie. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.920 Song of the Day kind of. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:56.720 This is the song. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:57.600 Of the day. 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.679 This is so so. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.800 Song of the Day is called Winters Circle from singer, songwriter, percussionist, 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:09.480 DJ and all around entertainer Anderson Pack because the Petros 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.960 and Money Show has returned to the Winner Circle on 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.240 an I'm a Horse Modello meet a Lot of Monday, 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.040 where a flexlert is in place for Dodger Baseball trying 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.280 to remain in the winners circle themselves looking to hit 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.439 the trifecta against the Astros in Houston in the first 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:29.720 of three games, with Tim Cats standing by to deliver 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.959 that Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck program just for you, 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.240 beginning at four o'clock. 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.200 I would not have had Ronnie and his wife getting 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.600 obsessed with Kentucky Derby's shoulder programming over the weekend HLife. 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.880 It was more her than anything else, because she was 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:50.760 fascinated with those large hats and the dresses that they 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:51.240 were wearing. 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:52.040 Well, there you go. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:53.200 She was quite impressed. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.160 A dandy.

Birthday of the Day next, A big 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:43.000 thank you to Ronnie Fossio, mister grandfather at Ronnie Fassio 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.400 on Twitter, posting the playlist and at Tim kits on 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:51.000 Twitter our executive producer, and on x or Twitter we 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.160 are at Petrosen Money or at the Old p or 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.720 even at Matt money Smith.

But right 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.680 now it is time for the top story of the day. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:10.800 Top story of it. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.959 Well, we just went through it and slapped us open 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.120 hand slap style right in the face. But again it 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:22.320 does not look promising, but neither did the Rockets series, 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.720 and look how that turned out. Heavy underdogs, the Lakers 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.720 not only made it a series, but jumped out to 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:30.760 a two zero lead. They held home court, one of 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.120 those games being the one with Kevin Durant playing. They 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:36.160 won Game three and the most improbable backs against the wall. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.720 Stan Van Gundy already said the game was over with 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.319 thirty seconds still on the clock and wondering whether or 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.280 not this series might slip away from them if they 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.600 can't win Game four. They overcome all of that in 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.360 twenty eight seconds and a ninety nine percent win probability 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.839 by the Rockets in that game take an insurmountable three 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.839 zero series lead, and even when the Rockets punched back, 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.720 a lot of questions saying, of all the teams that 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.280 could force of game seven, just about every pundits number 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.880 one was the Rockets, because the continued disbelief in this 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.400 Lakers team actually having enough firepower to overcome those young 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:16.640 legs in a seven game series. Yet the Lakers brushed 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.600 it aside like a fly on potato salad at a picnic. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.240 And I guess doubting them was foolish. The keys were there, 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.440 the signs were evident for all of us. They could 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.520 have slid to the five seed or even the six 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.199 after Oklahoma City humiliated them by thirty six in Los Angeles, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.600 and a Golden State team that was trying to dig 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.920 out of the ten seed was waiting for the next 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.600 contest up in San Francisco, and the Lakers hammered him, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.800 hammered the Warriors one nineteen to one to oh three 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.080 on their home court, Lebron with a near triple double 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.960 with no Donchets, no Austin Reeves, a squad that was 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.280 reeling on that three game losing streak, and again the 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.600 most recent being one of the more humiliating losses at 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.960 Staples Center. Then they had Phoenix sitting in a seventh spot, 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:10.400 prime playing position. We were focused. Many were focused on 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.680 the Clippers and how well they had been playing, maybe 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.280 ascending to the seventh spot and being a problem for 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.600 the Spurs. With Kawhi Leonard, who was playing as good 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.559 as anybody, they had a lot to play for the 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.520 Lakers again, one hundred and one to seventy three, a 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.800 twenty eight point pummeling of a Phoenix team that was 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:29.880 motivated to hold on to that seven. They did because 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.400 the Clippers fell apart Lebron again with a near twenty 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.640 eight point triple double to go with four steals, and 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.800 that is what carried them into the playoffs. With what 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.840 every team says they want at the start of a season, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.760 a home playoff series. Celtics had a home playoff series. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.840 Celtics jumped the Sixers three games to one. They were 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.400 the team that was supposed to be the class of 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.559 the Eastern Conference. They were the favorites with the Knicks 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.160 flailing to their third place finish. A lot of question 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.400 about Mike Brown not being the guy to lead this 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:06.640 team back to the conference finals. Sixers always a disaster 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.000 waiting to happen that somehow they dug out of that 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.600 three to one hole, knocked off the Celtics again, the 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.200 favorites in the East going into the playoffs, and sent 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:23.440 Boston Superstar crying on social media about referees and flopping 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.920 and all the reasons why they lost a three to 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.040 one series lead instead of their performance. Head coach Joe 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:36.160 Mizzoula starting three guys who would combined for fourteen point 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:41.560 seven points per game combined Luca Garza, Ron Harper Junior 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.760 and Baylor Shireman little under eighteen points per game this year, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.960 they combined. Yeah, that's what he said. You sure you 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.480 want to go with these guys? My team's on the floor. 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.640 They combined for zero points in thirty five minutes. They 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.360 were the favorites in the East, and they lost in 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:04.960 the first run. JJ Reddick, I guess figured it out. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.320 No doubt you are gonna mention Tatum's injury, righting, Well, 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.360 I mean Tatum is Kevin Durant's injury. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.160 Kevin Durant, So is Luka Doncic, Luca Reeves. I mean, 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.080 Luca's a better player than Jason Tatum. He's a better 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.160 player than Kevin Durant and JJ Reddick figured it out, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.560 and yeah, that's how they turned the first round series 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.280 on its head. No, Kevin Durant, injuries are a big 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:32.280 part s happens. And now in this next round, Jalen 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.440 Williams dealing with a hammy. It's one of their best players. 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:40.840 Chat Holmgren missed his entire rookie season, missed fifty games 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.560 last regular season before being back for the playoffs and 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.360 obviously helping lead Oklahoma City to their first ever title. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.480 He has been a constant this year, sixty nine games, 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.120 twenty nine minutes per but he is seven foot and 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:57.400 under two hundred pounds. As happens to those guys. Now, 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.680 there is a flip side to this. There's a little 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.040 problem of the zero and four record in the regular 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.200 season against the thunder. 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.680 Well, come on, man, I'm surely you can find a 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.880 way to speak authoritatively and just drown that out. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:12.960 Well, I know you'd love for me too, Pee, But 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.080 the Lakers lost one hundred and twenty one to ninety 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:15.960 two on November two. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.360 Yeah, but the playoffs are a different animal, right. 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.880 That is a twenty nine point loss. If you didn't 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:21.760 want to do the quick. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.080 Man I lose by nineteen. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.000 You know, well they only lost. They only lost by 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:32.160 nine on February ninth, without Luca, but the Thunder did 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.200 not play likely back to the back MVP of the 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.880 league's Sega, Shay Gilges Alexander. So there's that in the 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.160 nine point is he healthy? He is healthy? The game 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.560 Luca blew out his hammy. They were already down by 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.560 thirty and lost by forty five. Yeah, forty five. They 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.600 lost by one hundred and thirty nine to ninety six 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.560 on April second. They then rested Lebron James. In the 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.720 April seventh game. Even when the Thunder called off the 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.440 Dogs after about twenty minutes, they still made a mockery 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:10.640 of professional basketball, win in by thirty six, one hundred 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:14.359 and twenty three to eighty seven. Four games, four losses, 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:22.919 average deficit of loss over thirty points. So we go 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:23.840 to the Sharps again. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:25.640 I mean, that's a lot to overcome. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.640 It seems like it, you know what I. 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.159 Mean that they have their work cut out for them. 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.360 And here is the one thing that is in concert 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:37.840 with the first round series is Vegas has zero belief 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:39.840 that the Lakers are going to get out of this. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.040 Remember we mentioned the odds were better for the Rockets 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.439 to sweep than the Lakers to win. They were shorter odds, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.440 and they're doing it again tomorrow. It will be Thunder 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:58.880 by fifteen and a half in a conference semifinal. That is, 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:04.119 I would assume one of the largest opening game spreads 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.760 in the last ten years. For any two teams that 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.720 are meeting fifteen and a half in a game that 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.080 can get wonky with foul trouble and all of that, 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.520 I would assume the great majority of people are going 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.119 to take the points because rarely do you get blowouts 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.919 like that. But maybe that's how the folks in Vegas 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:23.879 make their money back. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.080 One of the Jay Williams hamstrings into account Matt that 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:28.280 fifteen points pread. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.639 He has not been projected to return yet, so I 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.000 think even without Jalen Williams, we're like, yeah, well we'll 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.840 go ahead and lay fifteen and a half there. That 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:41.480 would be like an NFL playoff game being fourteen points 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.040 blowout level. And that is nothing compared to the Thunder 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.119 being minus in the second round thirty exactly. This is 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:54.600 not an opening round play in versus one seed. They 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:59.159 are minus thirty five one hundred to win the series. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.120 You have to bet thirty five hundred dollars to win 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.800 one hundred dollars. That is what you must risk thirty 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.000 five hundred to walk out with thirty six hundred from 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.280 the casino. I would say online in your app, but 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:18.760 we can't do that here in California. Thanks guys. The 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:23.080 Spurs I want to gamble should man handle the Timberwolves. 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:29.159 They are a heavy favorite at minus six fifty what 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:35.840 the Thunder are six times that the odds now are dramatically. 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.639 First round was the one that really provided the competition 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.360 right on paper. 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.119 The odds are dramatically lower than they were for the 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.720 Rockets to sweep, but the Thunder are still plus one 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.800 fifty five to sweep the Lakers, and that is the 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:56.080 favorite of all the odds. They believe it is most 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.879 likely for the Thunder to win in four at plus 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.480 one fifty five. In five, it jumps to plus two 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:07.080 hundred six plus four fifty and seven should the Lakers 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.639 win three games and force a deciding game seven, a 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.480 gigantic plus eight twenty five, So the sweep is still 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.960 the favorite by far, and again, much like the Rocket series, 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.720 considerably lower than the odds for the Lakers to win. 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.600 If I wanted to speak the Lakers' success into existence, 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.399 you would say something like, well, the Lakers can jump 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.440 on these rocket I mean these thunder like they jumped 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:38.200 on the rockets and cause doubt and panic and knock 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.840 them off their pegs and then take advantage and win 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.000 the series by stunning them like a taser or something, 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:49.359 because they don't have the heart of a champion, except 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.520 they won the championship plus year. 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:56.120 Yeah, yeah, I don't think you're gonna stun them. I 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.119 think m like shin of light, maare eyes, yeah, frog 0:20:59.280 --> 0:20:59.639 or something. 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:00.760 But I don't think you know. 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.960 I think the only path the victory here is and 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:09.280 I hate to say it because you don't, it's catastrophic injury. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.440 It's truly the only path. Well, I saw it. 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.159 Remember when it happened with Kevin Durant in the final, Like 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:19.720 you saw the moment his his his achilles exploded with 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:23.679 Golden State and you're like, oh, insane of the cat strains. 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.879 That's it and it is over. Yeah, they were up 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:31.240 three to one. They lost for three. Many people said 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:35.600 that that was the finals victory that goaded Lebron James 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.320 coming from behind against a dynasty or a dynist date, 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.000 but they didn't take into account that the three one 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:48.120 deficit was overcome. When Kevin Durant's achilles snapped, Yes, that's 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.200 what we'd be talking about. A catastrophic injury. 0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.760 And you already said that that Chet Holmgren is real skinny. 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.639 He's seventy one hundred and ninety nine pounds. 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.240 You did say that, So you know you're putting out 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.040 out there like I'm just saying, I don't know about 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.280 that one guy. He's pretty skinny out there. He might 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:05.879 get hurt. 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.560 He's got a gigantic head. Makes no sense that he 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:10.680 doesn't just fall over. 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.120 What are they doing in La radio? Well, this one 0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:19.280 guy said, the Jetholmgrid's real skinny, So you never know 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:20.560 what might happen to that guy. 0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.000 That's right. That is all they got. 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.280 If they get blown out and then they get blown 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:30.399 out again. How much you want to bet Lebron has 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:31.639 some kind of injury like. 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.120 Oh, mysterious ailment for Game three. 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.399 Ingrown ass hair, or you know, shows up with a 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:41.560 cast on one arm. I could see that, and then 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:42.880 picks up a suitcase with. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.560 The same again their average margin of loss in the 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:51.840 four games was over thirty points over thirty They didn't 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.520 have Shay Gildgess Alexander Now the Lakers didn't have Donches 0:22:54.560 --> 0:23:01.640 and still lost by nine. So yeah, twenty nine, forty 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.040 five and thirty six. 0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:09.399 Maybe OKC is like the Nuggets where they're like a 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:14.000 one championship or the Raptors, right like one championship and wow, 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:18.119 or the Milwaukee Bugs, like, hey, wasn't that great and 0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:19.080 now it's over. 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.119 And now they have to contend with the likes of 0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:24.840 Lebron Like last year when they marched to the title, 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:27.960 they didn't have to contend with Lebron. I see what 0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:31.720 you're saying, like, you know, never know like last year. Yeah, 0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:35.560 that makes sense. You know, how tough, like how hard 0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:39.080 was their path last year? You know, they had to 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:43.280 beat the Nuggets in seven, which they did. You know, 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:47.400 then they had Minnesota and then they had the Pacers, 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:51.680 who were an unlikely finals participants. So there you go. Maybe, yeah, 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:55.520 my projection wasn't you know of a seven footer who 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:57.280 weigh one hundred and ninety nine pounds just you know, 0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:58.280 blowing off earth. 0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.800
