So 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.880 a little clarification on the Textoso, since you brought it 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:24.760 up in the very last. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:29.560 Second, brought to you by your so called Toyota dealers, 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.480 we make it easy, Petros. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.000 Here in Cincinnati we have the National Underground Railroad Freedom 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.840 Center and Museum, and I can confirm in all of 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.440 their exhibits it is never referred to as a freedom trained. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.639 I can appreciate, thank you, but I think I'll have 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.120 to attend their next fundraiser and hobnob and get some 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.520 traction and call it the freedom tree. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.119 You may be exiled for calling it the freedom train. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.600 And if you want to know what the freedom train is, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.679 what it was? It wasn't an actual train? Well ask 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.720 David that actually it was an actual train in nineteen 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.120 forty six travel the country, different purpose. 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.080 One considering. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.560 Three thingsters. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.760 First thing P is part and parcel of my having 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.680 to be in the car for a couple hours today 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.119 making my way up to the bolt for the Jim 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:33.800 Harbaugh Joe Ortiz Press five were as your questions the press. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.120 I think our friend Pop was the star. He certainly 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.640 asked the most questions. There was another gentleman who asked 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.920 probably two and a half minute questions that didn't seem 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.000 to be questions, but statements that went nowhere and came 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.080 with answers like, yeah, we we would like to win 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.440 the Super Bowl now as well, Yes we would like 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:52.520 to do that, but. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.200 We would also like to win. 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.800 Yeah, like are you do you guys feel like you 0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.920 have the immediate need to win the Super Bowl right now? 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.600 Through that was like the last five seconds of a 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.080 two minute question. Yes, yes, we do. We do in 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:12.000 Fackfield that way, I'm in the car and I got 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.440 the radio, the sports talk radio on there, the Sirius 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.279 XM sports talk radio, well the Colin Cowhard of course 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.920 sports and that went to commercial. So when that happened, 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.640 I popped over and I heard some folks digging in 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:35.600 deep impassioned pick a side conversation surrounding the Ben Johnson 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.520 Matt Lafleur post game handshake from Sunday Night Football. So 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.320 we're talking four days ago. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.080 Two coaches talking a lot of ass. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.760 Yeah, Ben Johnson going into the locker room post game 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:52.920 after the greatest, well, the largest deficit overcome in a 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:58.320 playoff victory by the Bears, decades of dominance by the Packers, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.679 after decades of dominance the Bears into the late eighties, 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.640 was supplanted by the Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love, 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.280 three decades of dominance, perhaps signaling an end, but a 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.880 big victory over the Packers chock full of emotion, Ben 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.800 Johnson if you missed it, rushes to midfield, shakes the 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.640 hand of Matt Lafleur quickly while screaming, lets eff and 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.720 go to a player of his that he coaches that 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.480 was standing right next to him. And then in the 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.280 postgame press, well the post game, addressed to the team 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.599 that was micd up and filmed for their social media feed, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.520 said to his team f the Packers, Oh wow and team. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:42.880 So I was like, whatever topic on. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.400 The I remember there was a thing about Harbass screaming 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.560 and yelling about the USC and how we owns USC 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.480 rights Stan Stanford and somebody heard it through the door. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.880 It's like, who cares talk to your team? Leave people? Right? 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.440 So I figured out, whatever, what do you think coaches 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.240 say in real life? Like, what do you think it's football? 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.599 These guys, it's not the United Nation. 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:07.960 I think they're quoting Chaucer and freaking postgame locker room. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.440 Well maybe you would be if you were a head coach. 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:15.800 But this reminds me, this loss that we've taken to 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.839 Calu reminds me of the wife of Bath. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.960 But then I get home and obviously my phone is 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.080 listening to me or something like that, because it doesn't 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.560 make any other sense that this would show up. I 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.560 don't listen to the Scott van Pelt podcast, but it 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.680 shows up in my Twitter timeline. I'm like, oh, is 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.880 this some old ass? And I'm like, no, it's from today. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.960 These guys are from last night, last night or today, 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.320 I can't remember. These two guys are talking about it 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.480 four days after the fact, and they're hot taking this 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.120 thing as well. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.440 What Ben Johnson has effectively done is said, from this 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.599 point moving forward me you, this is what we're doing. 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.400 You hate us, we'll meet that. As long as you're there, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.560 we cannot beat you by enough. Ever you want to 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.120 throw out civility and how you're going to act in 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.520 a handshake for ten seconds, we can do that too, 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.000 as long as you're there. And so to be screaming 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.600 in Laflour's face as you're doing the blow by handshake, 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.640 then screaming F you whatever else. All I'm saying is I, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.200 as a neutral observer, that's fly by me. But if 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.400 I'm the Packers, Okay, buddy, You've won nothing in your 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.920 life to be acting like this, But this is what 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.040 you want to do, You got it? 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.120 What else are they going to do? It's football? What 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.160 else are they going to do to make it hard 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:30.480 on him? 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:35.440 Like, it's not like, can you imagine being in the 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.960 atmosphere surrounded by sixty thousand fans that were staring at 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.520 an eighteen point deficit? That thought once again? Here we 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.679 are thirty years later and the Packers are still slapping 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.720 us around. What a disaster and who cares about the season? 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:57.280 And Caleb's developed whatever lost again to victory, knocking Jordan 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.800 Love and the Packers out of the playoffs. People stay 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.320 in for two hours after the game ended. He's freaking out. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.600 The whole city wants him to get him a double 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:07.120 middle finger. 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.440 An Johnson might be a bad guy. I don't know. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.480 He could be. You know, he could he could be 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.960 a real blow hard coach or a hot dogger like 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.840 Sirianni or that he certainly likes the camera and the 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.600 mics and that's that's fine, But four days later, who 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.720 can't It's right? Football? Like It always surprised me, Like, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.920 I call these coaches aren't like idiots, It's like, yeah, 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.480 it's football, what do you they're coaches, They're they're crazy. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.000 That's two things. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.000 And then again, perhaps because our phones are always listening 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.280 to us, I see a clip of your co workers, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.680 you're responsible for these guys on f S one doing 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:49.240 a topic. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.160 Oh who, I'll give him a call. Was it Craig Carton? 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:58.600 No, it was the right show, but it wasn't him. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.199 It was Greg jenny Is, the former Packer receiver and 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.280 the host of the show, saying, hey, you know what 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.319 Ben Johnson just did? Hey, you know what he just 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.800 did over there? Put this puzzle together, Greg, Sean mcvayh 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.199 and Matt Lafleur used to work on the same staff together. 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.000 They're great friends. You don't think Sean McVay is gonna 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.840 call up Matt Leafleur and Matt Lafleur is not gonna 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.280 help his friend Sean game plan for Ben Johnson and 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.719 the Bears. You don't think that's gonna happen. And you 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.400 don't think Devonte Adams, the former Packer, is gonna is 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.440 not gonna want to defend his former team and their 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:38.199 honor from what was done to them, from that handshake 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.520 and that postgame locker room speech. You really were doing 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:44.480 this four days later. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.120 Items seems like a reach. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.840 If and it can go either way. If if Antonio 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.679 Peers knocks off the Brandon Staley and the Chargers by 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.400 hanging a sixty burger on him and say, is F 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.240 the Chargers and F that dumb ass team, and I 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.800 hope we do it every time. Yeah, that's what I 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.560 would figure you would say. And vice versus ive. Jim 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.719 Harboss sweeps the Broncos and says, F Sean Payton. That 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.880 guy's a clown and he's mean to the media and 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.440 I don't like him. And Bucket you know. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.080 About running Downhill, I don't really know much about it. Yeah, 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:19.920 it's not all it's about nude, that's right. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.280 You don't, That's right, you don't. Green longback of this 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.040 game as ability don Hill in the run games, is 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:27.880 that the timing of it. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:29.680 Do you want him to attack Downhill? 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.640 Is that you're like, what do you know about attacking 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:32.559 Downhill in the run game? 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:33.319 You don't know? 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:38.760 All right, that's right, worst guy ever, And it's not 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.480 surprising that he's a top five hang for Colin Coward 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:48.080 by Yeah there answer piece of crap human being. Second 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:53.120 thing p The other thing making the rounds online is 0:10:53.440 --> 0:11:02.800 uh the Haley Steinfeld was a Bronco fan. Photos of 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:08.359 her in Bronco gear dabin doing all that sort of stuff. 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.600 Get her uncle body by Jake take her out there 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.480 to meet Carl Mecklenberg or something like. Hell, how did 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:14.040 that happen? 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.440 I think he took her out there to meet Jake 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.000 Plumber and that tall drink of water from Memphis that 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.679 was one of the worst first round picks ever. I 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.640 can't remember his name. He was supposed to join us 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.560 if we put Lee Steinberg on and then he never 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.880 joined his Paxton Lynch. But yeah, guess what, guys, Ailey 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.559 Steinfeld wasn't always married to the starting quarterback of the Bills. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.040 She grew up in Denver. She was a Bronco fan 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:36.640 as a child. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:38.240 I thought she grew up in Tarzana. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:41.120 Is that right? 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.040 Well, she could have had some time in Denver too. 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.439 There are photos of her at a Bronco game in 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:52.040 Bronco gear dabin, dancing and having a good old time, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.280 and tweets of her saying, let's go Broncos or something 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.120 like that. Yeah, okay, she's married to the quarterback of 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.319 the Bills. I don't think there's any conflict of interest 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:01.760 about for whom she'll be rooting. 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.080 Yeah, I don't think that's that big of a deal. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.880 So there's that there's a lot of stretching, Matt. They 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:09.959 don't have much going. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:16.400 On, no exactly, So let's let's let the head coach 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.360 of the Bears says, f the Packers, And apparently you're 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:22.760 not supposed to do that. You're supposed to have some 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.640 some level of civility in a post. 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.920 That's not what you get every day. But at the 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.320 same time, I mean, I don't think it's a salvation 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.920 issue that we have to freak out about. That emotion 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.520 overcame them in the moment. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.360 And Hailey Steinfeld could have been a Bronco fan in 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.079 her youth. But I'm guessing it's not that big of 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:42.360 a deal. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.880 Wait till somebody sends Jim Harbaugh a picture of you 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.440 when you were nine and your Walter Payton Hutch uniform, 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.760 Hutch outfit. He's gonna be very upset. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:57.079 They're gonna be like, what size was that toddler? How 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.959 old were you there? I was like nine? What size? 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:00.440 I think it was a size for. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.680 Yeah, it feels like they're trying to stretch their puzza 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.720 across the whole week, you know, tall and over the water, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.600 like the Henry Ford Bridge at Long Beach. Just break 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.720 down the game, guys, right, you know, tell me how 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.839 they're gonna disguise a single high coverage. That's what I 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:20.199 want to know. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:21.720 Steinfeld A goa. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.559 Yeah, Well she was born in Tarzana and she came 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.199 up in Thousand Oaks, a Gora area. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.200 Yes, how old is she? Twenty nine? So I guess 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.400 maybe big Peyton Anny fan or something. She didn't go 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.840 to high school. You know, she was an actress, right 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.920 raheem Moore. Maybe big raheem Moore fan. 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.719 Could have been Vance Joseph. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.360 Halfing the time of his life. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:49.000 Diversities played a big role in his career. We'll be 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.480 right back with Don mcclayane, who's played a big role 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.600 in our show for many years. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.079 We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with you. 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.520 Make Am five seventy or your favorite AM five seventy 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:10.120 LA Sports podcast a preset on the iHeartRadio app using 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.360 Apple car Play or Android Auto. 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.880 Petrous for Money AM five seventy LA Sports.

But our friend 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.960 Brett gave us a Westinghouse fifty eight in Zoomo TV. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.840 Smart TV experience simplifies streaming.

As Matt pointed out, sometimes when 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.200 it goes to a winery or a bar, I'd be 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.840 a hole in his glass that has to be remedy. 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:09.560 He's going on here. He's up at Seattle. We'll call 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.960 the Michigan Washington Dad. He's got Michigan State Washington this 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.880 weekend hanging out in the Edmerald City on the Big 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.080 ten Network. It is the leading scorer in the history 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.960 of UCLA and the PAC twelve and there will never 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.640 be another PAC twelve leading scorer. I'm already not an 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:29.160 our opinion. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.320 Hell no, the next ass Calber Chainey. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:37.920 Kisses will be the first c AA FS one Big 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:42.960 ten Network, PAC twelfth Network No. 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:43.560 One and only. 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.800 Don McClain on your Southern California Toyota Dealer Celebrity Hotline, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.160 our basketball Shirpa, how's it going up there on the 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:54.320 Emerald City, Don. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.360 It's cooling great and believe it or not being here 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.880 for five days, which I will be heading home. So 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.200 Monday morning there's not going to be a drop of 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.640 rain the entire week. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.920 Coffee, big win, whether or not the Chamber of Commerce, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.120 get the pictures, take some pictures. It's a Chamber of 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:18.920 Commerce day here in beautiful Seattle, Washington. Well, let's start 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.239 with the uh the NBA, since it's hot on everybody's 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.960 mind crazy times here in town. We ambushed James Worthy 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:28.960 with it yesterday or he just didn't want to talk 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:33.520 about it. But when you have a podcasting and Lebron's 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.960 agent Rich Paul popping off on his own podcast with 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.920 Max Kellerman. And here comes Austin Reeves agent stepping up 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.880 in its faces on the on the sidelines in crypto. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.040 What do you make of this, Dawn? And this doesn't 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.960 feel sustainable, but it's not necessarily new when it comes 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:51.480 to Lebron. 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.320 No, but here's the thing. If things were really going well, 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.720 and they were playing at the level consistently that they're 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.800 supposed to be playing at, the would be none of this. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.240 But the minute, the minute, things aren't going the way 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.800 everyone thought that they should go. Now we start talking 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.680 about trades, We talk about who they need to bring 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.800 in and who you have to ship out to bring 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.840 in that guy. And this is what happens. It's it's 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.240 not just the Lakers, it's league wide that when you're 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.800 underperforming expectations, this stuff starts. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.600 Going back to our conversation with Worthy yesterday, don just 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.879 kind of pose it to you to maybe get a 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.919 little bit more of an answer. Just I look at 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.440 the Lakers and they're at what twenty ninth I think 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.200 an opponent field goal percentage, twenty fourth in opponent three 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.440 point percentage, King shot sixty five percent. I mean, teams 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.359 are shooting forty nine percent on the field against this team. Like, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.000 to me, I've got to believe that that's like you 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.439 have to do something. There's no way that can survive 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:54.280 in the postseason. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:59.040 Right, But remember about this, I think a little while 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.560 of a month ago or so, is it the scheme 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.320 or the personnel? And to me, when you look at 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.960 their roster, are you looking at a roster of really 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.480 really good defenders. You got a guy that's over forty 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.480 years old, you know, still a really really good player, 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.199 But like, how good defensively is he? Luca's never been 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.520 a good defensive player. And so I don't think it's 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.239 on JJ Reddick that he should He can draw up 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.480 some new schemes and all of a sudden the Lakers 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.400 are going to be really good defensively and consistently good defensively. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.720 I think it's really about their personnel. And so you know, 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.120 the other thing you can do is look at all, right, well, 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.440 if we're not going to be a good defensive team, 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.359 how can we score enough points to overwhelm our you know, 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.240 inconsistent and not so great defense. And I'm not sure 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:47.960 even though you have two of the greatest players in 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.560 the league. I don't know if that's possible in this 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.240 day and age of the NBA. Everyone can score. It's 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:59.119 about who's really good defensively. Oklahoma City Thunder, the Celtics. 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.440 You know, those teams defend and that's why they go. 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.639 You know, they do great in the regular season and 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:06.160 they go deep into the playoffs. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:07.360 Yeah. 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.399 Yeah, it's a great a great point, you know, just 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.520 outscore everybody, right, But they're seventh in the in the 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.399 division or a seventh in the conference in scoring. Do 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.240 you think they could Like do you look at this 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.960 team and say, yeah, I could, I could see this 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.080 being a one hundred and twenty five point per game 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:23.320 scoring team. 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:23.879 Is that? 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.280 Is that real? Because look, they don't have Austin Reeves. 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.440 They haven't had them for it feels like a month, 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.199 So that could be a big difference in scoring. One 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.800 hundred and fifteen versus one hundred and twenty five. Is 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.879 that Do you think that's a path for them, you know, 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.399 to win a championship by just outscoring everyone? 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.920 Well, to me, Matt, and that's why I just said it, 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:43.159 it feels like the only path. I don't think this 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.160 team's ever going to be really good defensively. I just don't, 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.600 you know, looking at their roster and who they have 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:52.040 and the history of the personnel and what they've done 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.320 and watching them play, I just don't think that they're 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.920 going to be a great defensive team. And so, yeah, 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.239 you get Reeves back, you get everyone back, what does 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.280 it look like, can we score more? But you know 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.040 that's a slippery slope because once you get into the playoffs, 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.119 the game slows down, there's less possessions. No one's going 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.200 to let you score one hundred and twenty five, and 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.320 you have to rely on your defense. So we'll see 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.840 as this continues. But I do think that JJ Reddick 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.480 is a good younger coach, younger in the sense that 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.760 he hasn't been a head coach a long time, and 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.040 maybe there is something he can he can figure out 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.560 on the defensive end. But I think it's really going 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.120 to come down to they're just so dominant offensively. That's 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:32.919 how they're going to win. 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.480 The One and Only. Don McClain is our guest the 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:40.040 Petro sand Muddy Show. We are talking basketball, and we 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.560 ignored even asking about the Clippers for a long time 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.880 because they were so bad. The run that we predicted 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:50.200 they would never get on is happening. They're on a run. 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.320 They're only like six games under five hundred right now, 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:57.560 and they're playing much more consistently. I'm not exactly sure 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.400 what happened. I can maybe get a lot of little healthier, 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:04.160 But what's going on with the clip show don Why 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.960
