So, Dave, 87 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: I was thinking about you on Saturday in the most 88 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: positive way possible because you were at the Nuggets and 89 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: Spurs game. 90 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 4: Gosh, first game of the year that I attended and 91 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: for the first half got to sit sit on the court, 92 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 4: which I have never done, like the front row on 93 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 4: the court. 94 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: Well, you're on the court on the court because you 95 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: didn't even know going into it. 96 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: No, So had had very good friends that that had 97 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: a couple of tickets took us to the game. But 98 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 4: it was. I mean, it was spectacular and I thought 99 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: it was maybe the defining game of the year so far. Right, 100 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: What I liked most about and they won the game, 101 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 4: but what I like most about the game was how 102 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: hard they played. They didn't stop anybody. In the first quarter. 103 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: I think Spurs had like forty whatever it was, forty three, 104 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: I mean forty three points in the first quarter. You think, well, 105 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: they're on a pace to get what almost one hundred 106 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 4: and seventy. But you know what, that game was there 107 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: for San Antonio. In about at like ten different times they. 108 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: Had a twelve point lead. 109 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,799 Speaker 4: You think, Okay, if they take this thing to twenty, 110 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: it's going to be really tough. They didn't. The Nuggets 111 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: hung in. I just thought they competed, They got on 112 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 4: the floor and found a way. And then Joker, who 113 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: I thought got off to a little bit of slow 114 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: start offensively, if you don't admire the greatness of Jokic 115 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 4: and seeing what he did. 116 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: And Wimby was very interested in playing, I. 117 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 4: Mean, and the Spurs were very interested in coming to 118 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 4: Denver and finding a way to win. They'd won twenty 119 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 4: seven of their last twenty nine. But man, it was 120 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 4: spectacularly spectacular basketball, just in terms of the effort and 121 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 4: the grit. It was playoff basketball. 122 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: How was it the vantage point of sitting down and 123 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: Victor wenb Binyama's standing up like running past here? 124 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: Was he one ahead in the cloud? 125 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: When he came out, he was the last one out 126 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 4: of the locker room for the Spurs. In fact, the 127 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: Spurs were warming up and I'm thinking, is he not 128 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 4: maybe he's not going? Is not out there right? And 129 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 4: then he came out and You're like, oh my god. 130 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 4: I mean, that's He's the biggest. He's the biggest human 131 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: that I've ever seen in person. He's now he's not 132 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: as thick as Shack. I was broadcasting Nuggets games TV 133 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: wise when Shaq was in the league, and so I 134 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 4: got to actually do the stand up from the court 135 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: for TV and Shaq isn't you know, standing from here 136 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 4: to here away? I'm thinking, good lord, that's a big hit. 137 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 4: But this guy, I mean, he towers over over Nicola, 138 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 4: just towers over Hyeah. 139 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: Nicola comes up to was like armpit, and then there's more. 140 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 3: There's like another half a foot. 141 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: I mean, the last two shots that Joki hit the 142 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 4: floater on the baseline up and over women Yama and 143 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 4: the step back one legged, one legged and nothing but net. 144 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: I mean, forty points. It's just remarkable. And they did 145 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 4: so without Murray having a huge game. He had fifteen. 146 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: I thought they purposely let Christian Brown just shoot it. 147 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: They just stand in the corner. We're not even going 148 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 4: to cover you. And he knocked down a number of 149 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: shots at twenty one for the game. So I think this, 150 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 4: my young friend. 151 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: I know, this is why I was thinking about it. 152 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: You better buckle up for a ride in the playoffs, 153 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: because if they get Peyton Watson back, if they're healthy, 154 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: if they stay healthy in the playoffs, look out, Ryan Edwards, 155 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 4: your Oklahoma City team and you're in Minnesota team Nuggets 156 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: are going to come out of the West. And I'm 157 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 4: going to be difficult to deal with because I told 158 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 4: you that in December. 159 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: You did tell me that in December. I will say 160 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: this for what it's worth. 161 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 3: On that point, winning this game, I completely ru with you. 162 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: A season defining, especially considering the momentum that the Spurs 163 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: had there. 164 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: They lost like, what was it, two games, and one 165 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: of those was to the Nuggets. 166 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: Now they've lost two games to the Nuggets, in the 167 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: midst of this long winning streak. They'd come in winning 168 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 3: I think ten straight up to that point, and all 169 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: the momentum, and they were relentless in that game. The 170 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: Spurs were, They were just a force. And you can 171 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: see why not only have they they deserved to be 172 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: one of the top two seeds in the West, but 173 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: why they're not a team that's going to be any 174 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: kind of fluke here in the postseason. 175 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: But that's why. The fact that the Nuggets were. 176 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 3: Able to hang in there and get contributions from everybody, 177 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: and I mean everybody, even in Jamal, but of course, 178 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: you like said is is relatively quiet game for Jamal. 179 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 3: That gave me a lot of confidence because that felt 180 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: like a playoff game. 181 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know they have the experience over these guys. 182 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 2: I mean, San Antonio is a fantastic team, but they're young, 183 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: and they've got guys who are going to probably win 184 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: a championship at some point, but probably not this year. 185 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: And the Denver Nuggets, their eyes are getting bigger because 186 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: the playoffs are coming and they've been banking on getting 187 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: healthy and getting to the playoffs. They got the number 188 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: three seed in their sights. Portland tonight. Right, Yep, I'm 189 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: going nice. I'll be there very good. 190 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 4: Nice. 191 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to watch the National Championship, 192 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: but I'll be there watching the Nuggets. And you mentioned it, 193 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: they're getting contributions from everyone. Christian Brown, who has struggled 194 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 2: all year, Cam Johnson too, and Camp Johnson had shots. 195 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 4: Boy, he was huge Saturday. 196 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: And and Christian Brown, like you said, they're gonna let 197 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: him shoot and he's got to be able to knock 198 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: him down. He missed his first two three pointers, but 199 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: he ended up making five of them, and so he 200 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 2: The Nuggets are gonna need those contributions. We're used to 201 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: seeing nicolea Jokic do that stuff. But how is everyone 202 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: else gonna play? How's the bench gonna play? And I 203 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 2: think they're they're ready for the playoffs and getting healthy 204 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 2: at the right time. 205 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Cam Johnson is a big deal and you know it. 206 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: To your point, to both of your points about Christian Brown, 207 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: that's probably how most teams are gonna play them in 208 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: the postseason. It like if you're just playing the lot, you're, hey, Christian, 209 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: you're gonna have to open shots. 210 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: I thought the Spurs game plan coming in and it 211 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 4: was pretty evident and remain way during the game. They've 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: got big backcourt I mean, athletic, young, long defenders and 213 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: they're sort of interchangeable, and so whomever was checking Murray 214 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 4: was going to make him work ninety three feet to 215 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 4: bring the ball up and be very physical. In fact, 216 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 4: I thought, I thought the officiating crew let San Antonio 217 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: get way, way, way too handsy with Jamal. I mean, 218 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: what do we you know, what are we doing here? 219 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 4: But that's that's going to be part of it, and 220 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be important moving forward into 221 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: the playoffs should these teams meet in a seven game series, 222 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 4: that the coach Adelman comes up with a way to 223 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: take some pressure off Jamal by not making him the 224 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 4: primary ball handler against this team all the time. Because 225 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 4: it was I mean it was I mean, sitting down, 226 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 4: I've never sat there, probably never said there again, but 227 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 4: it was amazing to me how physical the game was. 228 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: There were there were some body blows being exchanged, and 229 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 4: San Antonio's wing players and backcourt players high draft choices. 230 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Castle's a monster on defense heat there of 231 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: a game. 232 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 4: They're a formidable team for sure, but somebody else has 233 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 4: got to help Jamal bring the ball up occasionally. 234 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 3: Joker in his last three versus women Yama forty forty six, 235 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: forty one, and then he had a twenty two in 236 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: the middle of that and then forty two. So as 237 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: talented defensively, that's certainly offensively too, as Victor Winden Yama 238 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: is talented defensively. Nicola Yakus doesn't really have a problem 239 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: with him, which is interesting because he has had some 240 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: issues with other bigs in the past. But women Yama, 241 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: he sort of has a little bit of an answer 242 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 3: for him, at least it looks like that. 243 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I don't know if it was personal 244 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 4: or not. Can't really tell, but I thought I thought 245 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: k I mean women Yama blocked two or three shots 246 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 4: he did blocked and left handed. I mean, how he 247 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 4: got to that shot the left handed kind of sweeper 248 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 4: by Jokic. But Jokic, the versatility of his offensive game 249 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 4: showed up, and his footwork in the post and how 250 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 4: his touch around the basket is just incredible. 251 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: The height to get the ball up over. 252 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 4: Winm Banyama just remarkable. And and again you you listed 253 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 4: his output in three games, So. 254 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 2: I think it's a challenge that Nikoliochic really enjoys, you know, 255 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: because he has to be creative and he has to 256 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 2: show a skill set that you don't always have the show. 257 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: But Victor Wembinyama as good of a defensive player as 258 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 2: he's a little light in the ass as they say, 259 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 2: you know, he's he's he can get moved a little bit, 260 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: and nikola Jokic can use the skills that he has 261 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 2: to to find a way to get shots off. And 262 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: nikola Jokic was praising it after the game. Is a 263 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: generational sort of a unique player that's going to change 264 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: the game. And we haven't seen any anyone like Victor 265 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: winbin Yama, and so Nikolaijokic being able to rise above 266 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 2: that is just a testament to how good he is 267 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: and how wide his skill set is. And I think 268 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: that we're used to seeing that from Nikoliokic. Again, it's 269 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 2: going to be how how well can everyone else play 270 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: around him to take some pressure off him, because the 271 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: teams are going to go after him, they are going 272 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: to try to beat him up. It is going to 273 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: get frustrating for Nikolio Kitchen. He has to control not 274 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: his temper but his frustration with the refs and like 275 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 2: you said, getting beat up like that. 276 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,599 Speaker 4: He took a couple of shots. I'm not there was 277 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: a point in time in the first half I'm thinking, 278 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 4: what exactly is this officiating crew doing? I mean, now, 279 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: this is this is the only matchup between those two 280 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 4: this year though, right, I don't think women Yama has 281 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 4: played jokicch. That's a good question. I don't. I don't 282 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 4: think so this season. 283 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they probably will see each other at the 284 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: end of the year because, yeah, san Antonio, I think. 285 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 4: I think this was the only game between san Antonio 286 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 4: and Denver that both Jokich and Womben Yama have gone 287 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 4: at it. Listen, women Yama what he finished with? Thirty seven, 288 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 4: thirty six and like eighteen rebounds. 289 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: He's a monster? Do you hear? 290 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: Joker afterwards talking to Dannis Haslam on the fun Oh 291 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 3: my god, that was great. 292 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: Now again, very heavy accident. 293 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: Hopefully you guys can understand this, but I'll explain it 294 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: afterwards if you guys don't get it. 295 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: But here was the interaction was really funny. 296 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 3: You know. 297 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: Then we want when we won back and is going 298 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: to remember. 299 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 4: As well as first well deserved I love watching you. No, no, no. 300 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: The first the team who react is probably the losing one, 301 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: you know. 302 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: The third, the team who is like pushing, being aggressive 303 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: from the start, is probably being the whole thing. 304 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: That's true. This is true. 305 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 4: It is found a little bit of mina. 306 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: I mean you all went, yeah, we see the position. 307 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, background, I. 308 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: Got three of them. Things have a big dog. You're right, 309 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: you're right. 310 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: It had been ahead of a mashup. I got six files. 311 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: Just know that. Oh, such a great comeback. 312 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: Good for Joker and of course Dedanna's haslm was actually 313 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: on that Miami Heat team, but he was more of 314 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: a player coach and he retired right after. 315 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: But that was such a great comeback there against nothing 316 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: against me. 317 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 3: Well, because he was broadcasting, he was talking, and he's 318 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: making great points right there. He's talking about, you know, 319 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: bringing it from the start to the finishing. The teams 320 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: that can do that, though, those the ones that win championships. 321 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: And he had the the Lario Obrians right behind him. 322 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 3: And so then you have Edonnas Haslam going like, I 323 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 3: see what you're doing here. I see as you lean 324 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 3: in there to make sure it's in the camera, He's like, 325 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 3: I got three and he's like, not against me. 326 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: But it's kind of like that in any sport, in 327 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: any in any test, it's the aggressive team. It's the 328 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: team that goes out and throws the first punch and 329 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: maintains it from this opening whistle to the last whistle, 330 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: that usually ends up winning. And if you can maintain 331 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: that type of energy, no matter what competition you're in, 332 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: you have you give. 333 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: Yourself the best chance of victory. 334 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: If you're waiting around and trying to oaki doak and 335 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 2: and counter punch and catch, then then you're gonna be 336 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: in trouble and you got to hope things go your way. 337 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: But I think the team that's most aggressive, the team 338 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: that is geeked up the most, typically has the best results, 339 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 2: more impressive win the. 340 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: Nuggets over the Spurs or the Abs over the Stars, 341 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: for you, Dave. 342 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: Oh Man, I mean they're both. I thought the Avs. 343 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 4: I thought the way the Avs won was pretty damn impressive, right, 344 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 4: I mean same thing for the for the Niners. 345 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: That's a shutout in Dallas. 346 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, they had an open that goal at the end, 347 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 4: but but that that was not a high flying that 348 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 4: that had. That game had a lot of play layoff 349 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 4: stuff to it because kind of the grind and making 350 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 4: sure you're careful with the puck, and you know, I 351 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 4: find it hard to get any sort of odd man rushes. 352 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it just was a halting kind of game 353 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 4: to watch. But I thought, I mean, listen, then, I 354 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 4: was so impressed with the Nuggets. How they beat a 355 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 4: team the Spurs came in the mindset of the Spurs 356 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 4: was so evident in that first quarter, we're here, they 357 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: were gonna send a message to the Nuggets. 358 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask you this way, who does it 359 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 3: mean more for the Nuggets of the Apps to win 360 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: those games? 361 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 4: I may say the Nuggets, and I would only say 362 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 4: that because they they won a game that they didn't 363 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 4: get off to a good start. 364 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: They had to grind. Jamal had fifteen. 365 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 4: Normally in a game like that, you know what you 366 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 4: get from yok and then you're gonna you're gonna get 367 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 4: twenty seven or thirty two from Jamal. They found a 368 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 4: way to beat a team that had lost twice in 369 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 4: the previous twenty nine games, which I'm all getting fifteen. 370 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 4: And I thought, as you guys said, Christian Brown stepped up. 371 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 4: Cam Johnson was big. I mean, that's the guy that 372 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 4: I've talked about a lot. He love to ag was spectacular, 373 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 4: just so good with his defense. He's you know, he's 374 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 4: strong enough and athletic enough he can play a big hit. 375 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 4: He had Wymban Yama a lot in the second half, 376 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 4: and yet he's athletic enough and quick enough that on 377 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: screen roll he can he can switch out and stay 378 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 4: in front of the ball. Did a great job with 379 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 4: the left hander. The kid from Kentucky who's Fox, Yeah, 380 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 4: did a did a great job on him late in 381 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 4: the game because he I mean, he had a shot 382 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 4: that had he been able to make from seventeen feet, 383 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 4: games probably over. Yeah. 384 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: I think it's the Nuggets because you know, the Avalanche. 385 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: It was a huge win for them, but they've been 386 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 2: the best team in hockey all year long. 387 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: I think so too. This is not this is not 388 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: a surprise for them. 389 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: The Nuggets have been a little bit of a roller 390 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: coaster and had moments where it's like, what's going on 391 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: with this team? A lot of injury issues, points at 392 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 2: which they don't look like themselves, and I think they 393 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: needed to see this for themselves to kind of get 394 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: that spark. I mean whether are they nine to one 395 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 2: in the last ten games. The Nuggets are, so they're 396 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 2: peeking at the right time. They're getting everybody back and 397 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 2: they're able to slay this dragon, so to speak. That's 398 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: twenty seven to two in the last twenty nine games. 399 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: I think that was, you know, impressive for both teams. 400 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: But the Nuggets are huge for them. 401 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: And they have the three seat three seats right there. 402 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: They're not tied with record, but the Lakers scores Lakers 403 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 3: on the tiebreaker. But the Lakers are in a bad 404 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 3: bad way now missing two of their starters. So Nuggets 405 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 3: will of course put themselves in good position if they 406 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: can continue to win a few more. 407 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 4: Where are your tea Wolves that I know? I know 408 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 4: your old wolves, the Erroak City Thunder are still in 409 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: first place. You got a chance, but in case they falter. 410 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 4: Where are your t Wolves? Uh? 411 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 3: The Timberwolves are currently I think the six hold on, No, 412 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 3: you don't know, I know they were the six. 413 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's six. So now now this is what I 414 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: think is going to happen. 415 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 3: I think the Timberwolves will likely hang in there to 416 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 3: the six. I think Houston's probably going to hang in 417 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: there in the five. So if the Nuggets can get 418 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 3: to the three, which again looks like they're gonna have 419 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: a really good shot at that, that means they're going to 420 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 3: face the Timberwolves in the first round, which, by the way, 421 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 3: Ants is dealing with a pretty significant knee injury. Now 422 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: he's playing through some of it right now, but he missed, 423 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 3: uh the game yesterday, I believe. 424 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: So I don't know, have some. 425 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: Nothing to monitor there, but I'm not worry about simper Wolves. 426 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 3: Dave. How many times nobody told you I'm good, We're good, 427 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 3: be the three seeds, in fact, the three seeds great? 428 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 4: All this really, you might as well just throw it 429 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: to break because people actually listen to the show, they 430 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 4: know you're front and right now, like crazy, you have 431 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 4: been a huge, if not Oak City guy, huge Minnesota guy. 432 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 4: Just just admit it, say it with your chest and 433 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 4: we'll see what happens the playoffs. 434 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 3: The Nuggets are going to beat the Timberwolves in the 435 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 3: first round, don't don't go there, and then they're gonna 436 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 3: probably play San Antonio in the second round, which is 437 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: gonna be a tough matchup, but it's gonna be a 438 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: lot of fun. 439 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: I agree with the last part of that. 440 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely, but that's the path. 441 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 3: You'd rather that path at this point than if you're 442 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: gonna end up being the four, which means you're probably 443 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 3: gonna play. 444 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: Okay, see gotta play. That's good point. 445 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 4: Play in the second round, so be it. Good luck, 446 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 4: Oak City. 447 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: I'm not scared of ID. 448 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: You know, God, maybe you got more energy for him 449 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 2: in the second round. Maybe, you know, maybe maybe, who 450 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: knows how this first couple of rounds will go. 451 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: That's good points, that's a great point. 452 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 4: All right. 453 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 3: We're off and rolling here on a Monday, excited to 454 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 3: be with you. We got a national championship to play tonight. 455 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 3: We'll get into some of that's coming up here. The 456 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: Rackies take one of three against Phillies. Also the Broncos. 457 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 3: They're gonna be back out in the practice field in 458 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: a while. I'll tell you more about that next Well, 459 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 3: if you and rapport joining us after four o'clock, looking 460 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: forward to that conversation. I want to go into a 461 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 3: bit of a conversation after that about how much maybe 462 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: Davis Webb and Boenix's relationship might change. Sean Payne says 463 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 3: something very interesting at the owners meetings. More or less 464 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 3: saying that Bonix and Davis Weber are not going to 465 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 3: be on the same page, at least like they're used 466 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: to being. 467 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: So I want to talk to you guys about that 468 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: here in just a little bit. But we had a 469 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: national championship tonight, Dave. 470 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: I know you watch the games because you love it 471 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 3: as much as I do. How disappointed were you in 472 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: the way Michigan Arizona played out. We had build that game, 473 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 3: everybody build that game to be an absolute monster, and 474 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: it was a blowout from start to finish. 475 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you as you always hope to get, 476 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 4: you know, a competitive sort of game. I picked Michigan 477 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: in that game. I didn't see it going the way 478 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 4: that it went. I mean, in that game that may 479 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 4: have been the best game they've played all year long, 480 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: because they played a quality opponent and just completely took 481 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 4: them apart. The injury, I think is the key thing here. 482 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 4: I know Yukon coming up here. This is three out 483 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 4: of four, they haven't lost a championship game. Danny Hurley 484 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 4: is a remarkable coach. They've got championship DNA, and so 485 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 4: I don't suspect that this is going to be an 486 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: easy game. I think Michigan will win this game. But 487 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 4: the injury to yeah, Lindenborg Landborg, that's problematic. And they 488 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: said when he came back he had a sprained MCL 489 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 4: and a sprained ankle. I'm thinking, why is he in 490 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 4: the game then with a twenty five point lead and 491 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 4: eight minutes to go, so well, who knows, but they 492 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 4: need him for sure, no doubt. 493 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: What did you think about him? 494 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: I just it's disappointing when you just can't make shots. 495 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 2: And sometimes you know, in those big games, you're anticipating 496 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 2: a team playing like you've seen him play before, and 497 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, the shots aren't falling, and even open 498 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: shots aren't falling, and it's like one team has has 499 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 2: the rhythm and another team doesn't. And so if you're 500 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: not just making those open shots and burying them when 501 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 2: you have the opportunity to, it can slip away quickly, 502 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 2: which it did and it was it was. 503 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: Over at halftime. 504 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 2: It Arizona isn't like a fraud for you, No, okay, no, no, no, no, 505 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: not at all. They just couldn't make shots and they 506 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: didn't shoot the ball well at all, And so why 507 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: does the team not shoot well in a big moment. 508 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: Hard to tell, you know, did they did someone pull 509 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: the fire alarm the night before at their hotel room? 510 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: Who knows, man, But yeah, they were getting picked apart 511 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: by Michigan. 512 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: They couldn't handle their guards. 513 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 4: It was. 514 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: It was not a great showing by Arizona. 515 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: But to make it to the Final four and be 516 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 2: a thirty six and three team, you're not a fraud. 517 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 4: We should also say congratulations to Lauren Betts and her 518 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 4: sister UCLA. Yes, what in the I believe that's the 519 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 4: first of women's championship UCLA's ever had, and they absolutely 520 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 4: clobbered southuth Carolina. South Carolina was like a four and 521 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 4: a half point favorite in that game, and really it 522 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 4: got away from them early and they just they just 523 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 4: could not regain any balunce once at all. 524 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: I mean a lot of championship pedigree there was South 525 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: Carolina Don Staley for that would make sense. 526 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 4: About the Geno and Don Staley dust up. He claims 527 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 4: that it's a protocol for the two coaches to go 528 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 4: down at mid court and shake hands before the game, 529 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 4: and I think other coaches have acknowledged that's the case. 530 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 4: That there's video of Don Staley walking down and shaking 531 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 4: hands with all the Connecticut staff before the game. But 532 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 4: whether that's that's protocol or not, he was wrong. You 533 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 4: just can't. You can't react that way. I mean to 534 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 4: take away and then you don't go shake the hands 535 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 4: of all those South Carolina kids. It's a horrible look 536 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 4: for a really great coach, one of the all time 537 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 4: iconic coaches in women's basketball. And I didn't really like 538 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 4: his I didn't like his apology either. I think he 539 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 4: should have named, you know, the head coach, Don Staley. 540 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 4: So it was just a I mean, it's just it 541 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 4: was not a good look for him. I don't know 542 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 4: that it necessarily was all that bad for women's basketball. 543 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 4: I think it was more just him getting upset with 544 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 4: what he thought was going on officiating wise, and he 545 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 4: felt like he got slided in terms of the early 546 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 4: handshake and then the games getting away from him, and 547 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 4: they hadn't lost a game all year, and then you 548 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 4: know that happens. You're gonna lose, You're gonna lose some 549 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 4: big games. It speaks to your character how you handle 550 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 4: yourself after you lose a game like that. And I've 551 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 4: always really liked Gino Arion. We've had him on the 552 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 4: show before, but I was I was real disappointed he 553 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 4: acted that way. Dave. 554 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 2: You don't ever lose games as a coach at Cherry Creek, 555 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: But have you had some form? 556 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 4: Yes, we do. 557 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 2: Have you had some opponents coaches kind of have flub 558 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 2: that moment and store them off or do something weird, 559 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: do you? 560 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 4: I mean probably? I mean not not many that I 561 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 4: can remember, But I tell you this, it's uh. I 562 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 4: mean we've lost championship games. We've lost in the state 563 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 4: championship game. Uh, that's a hard I usually when we lose, 564 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 4: I trot and when we win, I walk. 565 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: So that's a hard trot when you've. 566 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 4: Put everything into it for the entire season and it 567 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: just wasn't good enough for whatever reason. But you got 568 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 4: to go over shake the hands, and especially even if 569 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: you don't like the coach, you especially shake those kids' hands. 570 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 4: And that's what Gino should have done on Saturday because 571 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 4: kids are watching you. Yes, I mean absolutely, yeah. Yeah. 572 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 3: And then his his rants and during the one of 573 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 3: the timeouts or whatever about the officiating, and I mean, yeah, personal, 574 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: you can't. 575 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 4: You can't call out I mean that it just it 576 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: was beneath him. 577 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: I thought how he acted. Are you the fan like 578 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: I am? 579 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: I'm trying to mit because a lot of people hate him, 580 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 3: like legitimately think he is like one of the worst 581 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 3: things to ever happen to college basketball. 582 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 4: Well, I mean he makes it. He makes it easy 583 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 4: not to really digging. Yeah, you know what I mean. 584 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 4: I mean, Number one, his coaching style is is different. 585 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: He's very animated on the sideline. 586 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 4: I think people sometimes will look at that and say, okay, 587 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 4: stop and go sit down. 588 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: Very arrogant, but he's a he's a hell of a coach. 589 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 4: I mean, everybody has their their own sort of style 590 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 4: that they're going to display a lot of it is 591 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 4: your personality. And I think his personality, I don't think 592 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 4: it's fake what he does. I think that's his personality. 593 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 4: I think he's he's like a fart in a hot skillet. 594 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 4: That's going to describe it. I mean, you know, yeah, 595 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 4: but I mean that's that's the thing. So it's like 596 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 4: a love him or hate him, right, But. 597 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: I think I hate him. But I don't know. 598 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 4: If you're not sure, do you have to ask somebody 599 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: like to tell you what you think. 600 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: I think he's I think he's a little over the top, 601 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 3: But then I also like appreciate characters. Like I was 602 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 3: watching videos and this is the most random example here, 603 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 3: but I was watching Phil helm Youth play poker over 604 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 3: the weekend, right, and and people love or hate phil 605 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: helm Youth, right, he is just this personality that is 606 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 3: very jarring, and I'm like, I hate him, but I'm 607 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 3: not looking away. 608 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: Does that make sense here?

Personally, it didn't fig perfectly. 686 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 4: Ryan's built up a little bit in the last year 687 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 4: and a half. 688 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, would you bought it like two months ago? And 689 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 3: for whatever reason, You're like, oh, I thought you were 690 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 3: a little smaller. 691 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 692 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 3: I thought I had fit into a thirty four. Yeah, No, 693 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 3: I never said that. 694 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 4: Well that again. You know there's still time. 695 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: There's still time. Yeah, you get whip me in. I mean, yeah, 696 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:21,959 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta fit into it by the time 697 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: she yeah, getting married. 698 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, because because I'm on trajectory right now of actually 699 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 3: getting smaller, I'm not the opposite of that. 700 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: Uh. Anyways, we're I don't get I have a topic 701 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: to get to. 702 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 3: I want to ask you guys about the Broncos reporting 703 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,959 Speaker 3: a little bit late, in fact, later than any other 704 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 3: NFL team. We have you in rapport joining us here 705 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: a moment, but cursory thoughts is that is that a 706 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 3: thing of interest to you? Or because it's Phase one 707 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: it's all conditioning. Because they're not meeting until May fourth, 708 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 3: this is the longest. The next closest team is April 709 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 3: twenty first, so we're way past that for the Broncos. 710 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: That interest to you at all? 711 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 3: Ah? 712 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 4: Not really, I mean as long as they get their 713 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: work in. 714 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 3: No, I mean the extra time, what just more conditioning, 715 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 3: more weightlifting. I guess if teams are meeting in early 716 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 3: because like today the Ravens. 717 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you have a new coach, then you're 718 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 4: allowed to meet earlier than some of the other teams. 719 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 4: I'm not exactly sure why the Broncos picked the date 720 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 4: that they did, but you your question isn't concerning No, 721 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 4: I mean it's it's April and may work well. 722 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:28,760 Speaker 1: Sean. 723 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 3: His argument for it was something along the lines of 724 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,479 Speaker 3: I don't want these guys because they were just here 725 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 3: in January late January, and I don't want to feel 726 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 3: like they just left. 727 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 4: I think that you know what, I hadn't thought of that, 728 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 4: but I think that makes perfect sense. I really do. 729 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,959 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, they played longer than most teams. 730 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 2: They're one of the last four teams, so they had 731 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 2: to stay longer, and so he wanted to give them 732 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 2: a commensurate offseason with their peers. My concern is that 733 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 2: the CBA has already shortened all the field work they 734 00:34:59,719 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: can do. 735 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: You know, May fourth is pretty late. 736 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 2: I remember coming back late March early April and then 737 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 2: just doing the Phase one stuff, just the running and lifting, 738 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 2: and I was always really nice because you could just 739 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 2: get back in. 740 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: Shape, right. 741 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 2: And so to me, the reps being around each other, 742 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 2: the camaraderie. You're gonna lose thirty percent of your team 743 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 2: every year, right, You got to indoctrinate guys into the culture, 744 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: get them to know each other. Jalen Waddle's gonna be new, 745 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 2: There's gonna be some new players coming in. So May 746 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 2: fourth seems a little late to me. But also, Sean 747 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 2: Payton has done this before. He's been to the NFC 748 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 2: Championship Game and lost that and then figured out, like, 749 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 2: so he's a master of these routines. What is he 750 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 2: going into year eighteen or nineteen something like that. So 751 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 2: I'm gonna defer to Sean as knowing you know how 752 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 2: to create that trajectory. But as a player, I loved 753 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 2: coming back and just starting to run and lift with 754 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 2: the guys. It's a great time because you know, off season, 755 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 2: like these guys are, they don't have anything else to do. 756 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: This is what they do, and they want to get back. 757 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 2: They probably it shouldn't get back and get around each 758 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 2: other and start working and towards the Super Bowl next year. 759 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 1: So but Sean Payton knows what he's doing.
