They will 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.039 be played on the field and on the telly. But 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.279 AM five seventy LA Sports will have our next Dodger 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:22.680 game on Saturday. 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:27.320 AA Dodgers. No, there's no Dodger games that don't get 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.000 on air, and they will all be catastrophe. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.160 Now there are some that will not be on spectrum 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.880 because they're on like the Apple TV or something or nationally. 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:37.720 We at them all. 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.520 But in spring training we get to choose which of 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.760 these Dodger games we want a simulcast, And for whatever reason, 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.840 this week we have chosen none Saturday. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.400 Though for Rogan, yeah, Saturday five oh five. I'm sorry, 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.000 but I believe it is the clamoring Matt for the 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:57.280 Rogan and Rodney Show. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.120 We love all our leadens. P would just like Dodger 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:06.559 spring training baseball a little bit more, that's all. Even 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.800 when everybody's gone, Even when we're running a split squad 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.960 and there's no Freddie, Will, Mookie, Tommy, Edmund, Max Muncy, 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.359 it's writer Ryan that's pitching and not River. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:18.800 Ryan. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.880 Still gonna take that leading, Still gonna go ahead and 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:23.560 take that leading. 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.800 Well, if that's what you're gonna go ahead and do, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.760 you might as well go ahead and do it. Okay, 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.360 but I don't make that We're not gonna do this 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.400 has been scheduled talk. It's coming up right now after 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.799 we play that. It's the top story of the day 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:40.840 of it. 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.720 You know something I was reading on the internet earlier, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:51.160 got up underneath my skin goes along these lines here, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.360 if fill in the blank, play. 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.079 I don't like what anything gets under your skin a 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.920 tall man. I don't like that at all. The old 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.639 uh if pick a player did that, oh, the internet 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:03.360 would milt? 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.360 Or why wasn't it a big deal when they blew 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.880 the fourth quarter lead? But when Lebron does it, he's 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.559 the worst guy Evernet. When Lebron did it, it is endless. 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.760 You can plug it into almost any NBA setting when 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.079 it comes to the Lakers. And the funny thing is 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.080 is for the folks that are trying to now full circle, 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.720 come to the Lakers defense. This is the NBA. It 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.080 speaks to the individual nature of the sport. There is 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.720 a very political argument type of feel to it, a 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.480 two party system approach. Don't worry about what we're doing here, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.000 imagine what they would do if they were here. Or 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.120 don't worry about how we did it, because if they 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.200 had done it, then think about how you would be reacting. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:54.240 It is just a non stop straw man argument and 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:59.560 it's truly maddening. Now the NBA is puffing its chest 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:04.200 a little bit because their numbers are up NBC taking 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.880 the NBA away from TNT. The latest numbers say that 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.240 when THEA and by the way, I'd like to point 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.840 out the last three weeks the NBA has been sandwiched 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.040 in between or is following a lot of Olympic coverage. 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.360 So I do find the timing of their chest puffing 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:28.600 very convenient, especially as it pertains to NBC and what 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.960 was a wildly successful winner Olympic season for them. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.800 You don't think it's John Tesh. 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.800 Well, they did have John Tesh show up and do 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.800 the fake dribble and the round ball run, which I 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:38.440 do appreciate. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.400 Now I'm okay with that. Do you think that's that's 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.120 why the ratings are up. I could see it because 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:45.960 NBC and Tesh. Or do you think it's because of 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.240 the Olympic ski jumpers. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.479 I think it's yes. I think people want to see 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.520 what that Poots looks like in that suit for them 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.080 ski jumpers. I think they want to see Tesh's comb over, 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.520 bouncing the air, basketball, hopping around on stage in a 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.800 silk blouse, and they want to watch the NBA two 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.679 point six million viewers on NBC. It is up ninety 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.080 seven percent from what they had last year on TNT. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.120 But again, it's not surprising. We've got to pay for everything. 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.120 All our live sports are behind a paywall now for 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.840 the most part, and because NBC is free TV and 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.880 TNT is cable and a lot of people are using 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.359 streaming services, they've cut the core. There's no bundle anymore. 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:28.039 TNT's probably not part of the package they have, so 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.200 not all that's surprising. What I'm getting is the NBA 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.080 is not dying now. It is not what Kobe Shack 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.839 NBA and certainly not what Michael Jordan NBA were, but 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.960 it has not continued to dry up on that vine 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.359 as it had been the previous few years. ESPN and 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.000 ABC are up, Amazon Prime, no surprise is down. 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:54.320 Because the closer we get to the end of Lebron Levna, 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:01.679 the more irrelevant Gabron lames it, the better the NBA 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.720 product has to be. Well. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.360 I'm hopeful that the end of Lebron will put an 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.240 end to what has become so tiresome when it comes 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.640 to the NBA. I have my guy, not even a team, 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.960 a guy, and I will defend him to the death. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:26.479 Lebron's sexuals exactly right, the two party nature of it. Well, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.919 if this were Kevin Durant, you'd be freaking out right now, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.000 And if this were picked somebody else, you'd be fart 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:40.400 and confetti. The individuals don't belong to that look like 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.360 they're all independent contractors. They all have their sect of 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:50.279 supporters who mobilize and attack specifically when the media or 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:56.280 an online anti player campaign begins to trend. So I 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.520 don't know if that was a great fingernail sketch of 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.200 where we're going with this, Maybe these details make some 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.280 more sense to it. The Lakers are mediocre. They are 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:10.200 not great, they are not awful. They're here, They're there, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.760 That's what they are. They were pretty quiet after their 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.520 three game losing streak. They were humiliated by the Celtics. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:25.880 They lost on poorly executed final second play versus Orlando. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:30.360 It was a comedy of airs and missdefensive assignments to 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.320 fall to the Suns again in the game's final few plays, 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.360 basically foregoing good execution in the most critical moments. But hey, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.880 you take on a Golden State team that's reeling without step, 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.600 you bludgeon them. On Saturday, followed by a contest that 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.840 really was FATA compley more of an exhibition against the 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.280 Kings the following night, and now the Lakers, all of 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:58.640 their supporters, the assembled media, the shoulder programming, which is, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.560 I don't know, at lea least three or four well 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:10.800 advertised podcasts are coming for you, coming for you because hey, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:12.640 Lebron's playing pretty well. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.480 Now, okay, well, I mean all you have to do 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.840 is look at their schedule and you say, well, they're 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.720 likely to win these games proom, so then we can 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.240 expect prum. 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.000 That's exactly right. P They point out, this was really 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.439 JJ Reddick that was driving this bus yesterday. You know, 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.600 I haven't had Lebron for eighteen games. Lucas missed twenty 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.439 percent of the games this season. Austin Reeves has barely 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.240 played in half of our contest, just thirty four. That 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.680 is a combined fifty six games missed by our trio 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.040 of all stars. And we're only two games back in 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.640 the lost column from the three seed. And we got 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.240 to take all this incoming. What about the Nuggets? Why 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.800 not pick on? They're five and five in their last ten, 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.240 four and seven in February, Joe gets shot just thirty 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.199 percent from three They got beat by the same Warriors 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.800 team the Lakers just destroyed. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:12.439 Why aren't you. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.240 Picking on the Nuggets. They've got the MVP of the 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.880 league over there, and yet they're getting a free pass. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.080 I don't care about the Nuggets. The Nuggets are in Denver. 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.960 That's up to Koa to talk about them and figure 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.000 out if they want to flap their gums about Jamal 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:26.840 Murray and they. 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.200 Have sharp teeth when it comes to those. 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.720 Nuggets, exactly right, or maybe they just don't care. It's 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.800 very possible. One of it just Broncos year round. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:35.720 My man. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:39.440 We used to talk about the Broncos every day for 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.439 hours on end, and the competition would talk about Nobody 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.600 cared about the Nuggets. Nobody cared about the Abs, even 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.960 when they had Joe Sackett and they were winning coach 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.400 Zackic and Patrick Wall. 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.040 Nobody cared. Well, Matt, I have to say, I know 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.920 what you mean. I don't care about the Nuggets either. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.840 I don't care. I don't care about JJ Reddick deflections. 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.520 Lebron hasn't played a full season in years. He's old. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:11.880 Luca complains about fouls. It's untoward and not enjoyable to watch. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.400 You Seenkic. Haven't you seen how much Jokic complains about files. 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.280 But all everybody wants to do is just crown him 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.320 the MVP every year. Well, yeah, because he's a really 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.000 good player, and he's actually pretty fun to watch, and 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.960 he's kind of a badass, and he plays really hard 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.240 every single night. Oh and he does play every night 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.679 as well, is the other thing he does. So maybe 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.520 that's why a little bit of a tendency to act 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.040 like a bitch a little bit. I'm not trying to 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.440 act like a rotten I'm on Rodney Pete's side here. Well, 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.040 it's okay to be on his side from time to 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:43.400 time if you want to be. No, it's not, Uh, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:48.679 the Rockets. Everybody's everybody's crowning the Rockets. Now they beat 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.040 the Wizards, the Magic, the Kings, and the Jazz, but 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.080 they lost to the two playoff teams they played in 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.640 that stretch, and yet everybody's putting a crown on them. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.120 You want to talk about Lebron not playing defense, Apparently 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.120 you haven't been watching KD. 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.800 That guy has played defense in a half decade. I 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:02.400 don't care. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.920 We're not talking about the Rockets, just like we didn't 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:07.800 talk about KD on the Suns. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.160 This is what your brother Saddana tries to pull on 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.360 those jackasses in the morning. He tries to say, you 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.680 guys don't know what it's like. I do NBA games, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.160 I travel around, I know what the. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:17.640 League is like. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.400 Is that what it's like. I sit here and talk 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.199 about the Lakers, It's like, yeah because it's La. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.559 Yeah, because people barely care about the NBA as it is, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.000 and I don't give a good goddamn what Sengoon and 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.199 freaking Kevin Durant are doing in Shuston. Now, if I 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.960 with that guy that squeezed that chick's boobies in Boston 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.600 and got fired and had to sit out a year 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.080 before he was a head coach again, Doka exactly. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.440 Who's a good coach? A great coach? Now? Now listen, 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.600 if I want to talk about the Middle American Conference, 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.480 I'll do that right. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.040 College football is different, different animal. 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.280 Now, if I want to talk about a basketball officiating, 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.240 the difference between the Middle American Concert Conference reps and 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.520 the Big Ten reps and how they try the MAC 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.560 against the Big Ten and they get royally aft, I'll 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:05.199 talk about that. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.040 Violence on the court, will always be welcomed on the 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.320 best Rosy too. 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.400 Also the basketball aggression, that's our duty. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.800 JJ Reddick has been accused of being a bad coach 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.960 or doing a bad job, but everybody is quick to 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.720 point out, well, such a bad job that they are 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.480 two games back of the three spot right now, but 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.439 they will not mention, well, yeah, but you're also two 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.840 games up from the playing oh so kind of yeah, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.719 two games that way, but then there's also the two 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:38.800 games this way thing. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.200 It feels like the Lakers are in a place where 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.240 you could argue that the glass is half full or 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:43.800 half empty. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.400 A lot of people are coming after Steve Kerr this 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.560 week with Jonathan Kuminga having been traded to the Hawks, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.240 and he's lighting it up, and they're like, this guy 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.520 doesn't know how to develop young talent. He lets Draymond 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.240 run the team. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.040 What did he do? 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:00.800 He inherited a near championship roster from Mark Ja signed 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.600 Kevin Durant. Ever since then, it's been one issue after another. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:09.920 Draymond seems like the Billy Bob Thornton character in Tombstone 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.160 that was ruining that bar, you know, the oriental Yes, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.320 he's just screaming, chasing out all the good business just 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.000 there screaming, and everybody and wider had to go in 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.000 and humble him and kick him out and pull him 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:23.920 out by his ears. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.280 Exactly right, and throw him out. Feels like that's coming 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:26.960 for Draymond. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.160 It feels like like he's become that what that Billy 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.280 Bob guy was at the Oriental and Toombstone indeed, is 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:36.040 what Draymond? 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.160 Who is our wiader? Where might we find him? Who 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:40.120 could it possibly be? 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.120 This guy's chasing out all the classy business, comes in here, yelling, 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.120 waving his gun around. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.079 JJ's the one, like we said, doing the bitching right now. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.920 And he's said, look, this is coaching one oh one right. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.400 Everyone's against us. You know, look at us, guys, the 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.120 same number of losses as teams in the three seed. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.640 We've missed fifty six games from Austin, in In, Luca 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.920 and Lebron, and everyone wants to come after us. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.960 Is he going to speak it into existence to the 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.920 point where they'll actually beat teams they're not supposed to beat. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.880 I'm glad you brought that up before I get to that, though, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.280 I do want to point out maybe it is okay 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.880 to take some shots at Lebron. In his back to backs, 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.400 we have talked about this. He has played Warriors front 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.320 end of King's back end back to back, Blazer's front end, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:32.280 Raptors back end of the back to back, King's front end, 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.720 Atlanta Hawks back to back. He did not play against 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.600 the Spurs after the Thunder in a back to back. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.320 He skipped the second game of a back to back 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.680 when it was the Celtics. He also skipped the Spurs 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.440 when it's the second game of the back to back. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.840 On January seventh, after playing the Pelicans in a thirty 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:56.000 three minute thirty point eight rebound, eight assist effort in 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.680 a blowout, Maybe you don't log thirty three minutes there 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.520 and you save a little something for the Spurs. Uh, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.600 it's okay to call that out. Well, I don't feel that. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.480 I don't see what the point at all, just given 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.600 those stats is. I don't. I don't. I'm not making 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.200 my cherry picking. I'm not making any correlation there. What's 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.360 the difference between playing the Celtics. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.800 And the Kings the Pelicans, here's a good thing you 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.360 mentioned it be about their schedule. 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.240 Oh, we're gonna find out who you are real quick. Oh, 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:22.320 I'm afraid. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.560 We're gonna find out who they are in short order. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:33.480 The month of March is a perfect potpourie of crappy 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:38.800 team followed by playoff team all month long. So if 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:44.720 they hammer the Pelicans tonight, Pelicans in town, you do 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.320 what you did to be Billy, Oh. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.080 God, it's going to be very awkward. And the chick 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:48.880 Herd press road. 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.200 You do what you did to be billy. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:51.320 You're a snake. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:52.280 You're a snake. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.480 You're a goddamn snake, and you know it. You're a 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:56.600 deaf and snake. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:02.240 After they hammer the Pelicans Thursday, they get the Nuggets, right, 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.040 they hammer the god awful Pacers on Friday. On Sunday, 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:11.320 they get the Knicks Minnesota on Tuesday, then a terrible 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:16.760 Chicago Bulls team, and then the Nuggets the Rockets twice 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.160 in Miami. They will have to deal with the Pistons 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:25.600 before playing bottom feeding Indiana and New Jerseys. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.280 Lebron scared of that, Isaiah Stewart, He's probably. 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:32.240 Not gonna play play in that game now, Calves and Thunder. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:37.320 After that, Pistons will punch you, punch you square in it. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.200 He wants no part of that So let's see. If 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.760 they just build up their record on terrible teams, puff 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.000 their chest out and call us all a holes, and 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.920 then losed games to the playoff teams, we'll know exactly 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.560 where they are headed, regardless of what their final regular 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:52.360 season record is. 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.400 But how about not complaining about media coverage? Right, you're 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.840 the Lakers. Everybody says this about us. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.720 Yeah, yeah, you have Lebron James, Luka, Doncic and a 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.960 hole for a coach, and you are the Lakers. I 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.400 don't care what's going on with lou Dort and him 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.280 being the dirtiest player in the NBA. It was really dirty. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.560 I'm so happy the brothers jokich one in the stance. 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.720 I think they might have each grabbed like two limbs 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:19.760 and just torn him in half. 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.600 Not since medieval times. Such a terrible public execution. 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:29.480 Put him on the rack. We don't care, and we 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.439 do care about Jabron Lames playing against the Kings and 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.960 a freaking back to back chasing another triple double? 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.080 Did you see that they put the Serbian hobble on dirt? 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:39.200 Do? 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.720 I don't care. We don't care about the Lakers and 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.159 their mediocre record. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.320 We're such simpletons. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.680 No doubt We'll be back with more simplicity. David Vasse, 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.800 camel back rats popping off, what is the latest, the 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:58.359 Dodgers always making news.

This is Petro Send Money 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.400 to Mad Demand. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.800 Petro saying money and five seventy ely Sports live everywhere 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.760 on the iHeartRadio app. Our next Dodger Spring training broadcast 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.640 will come Saturday, first pitch at five o five pm. 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:23.520 As you're home of. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.199 The back to back World Series champion Dodgers. We do, however, 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.520 have Dodger Talk all week long peak. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.520 David Vesey will be on top of it. He's got 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:37.560 Daniel Hudson tonight plus all the latest and the nuances 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.640 from the Dodgers spring camp, which is their first actual 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.280 spring camp without you know, something weird going on. Well, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:46.919 I guess this year is kind of weird with the 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.600 World Baseball Classic. But at least they don't have to 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:54.120 go abroad. Especially David Vasse, that's our that's our concern. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:58.119 He is with us now live from Spring Training, the 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:04.600 Home of the Dodger with an inside look at the Dodgers. 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:10.560 This is the Vasse Report with David Basse, Bruce Springsteen, 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:22.480 Baboovoo dolls, of course, light Rocky and John Travolta, not 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.800 in that order. These are things that David Masse loves. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:30.800 The Dodgers fighting it out in Arizona today, Rookie Sasaki 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.840 yanked and then reinserted. The hell of a deal man. 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:35.760 Some people can do that. 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.439 They give me a reseut real. You get it right 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:38.520 back up and get a breath. 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:43.760 Here, it's Davidse on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.520 Hotline with the latest. Are you concerned about Rookie Susaki? 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.320 What was that day? It was kind of weird, man. 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:50.400 Yeah. 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:54.520 In spring training they call that rolling and inning where 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.800 they do want their starter or pitcher to get the 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.359 work and if they're throwing too many pitches is in 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.920 that inning, they can take him out of the game 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.600 and then bring him back to finish whatever they were 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.479 trying to accomplish in that start. 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.720 So Roki Sasaki certainly needed that. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.160 He couldn't throw a strike in that first inning, gave 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.080 up a grand slam, and came back in the second 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.880 inning and was able to settle down and throw strikes 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.760 and get three outs without giving up a run. But 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.800 this goes back to what we talked about last week 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:28.080 in his first start. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.200 Where he only went one inning. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.320 You know, you can say whatever you want, he's trying 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.520 to work on something or he and his own words, 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.040 he was happy that he just didn't get hurt, and 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:41.679 it seemed like talking to the Japanese media, what he 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.199 was trying to convey was that he was treating it 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:48.000 just like a workout start. But at some point you've 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:52.040 got to start easing concerns about who you are as 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.840 a starting pitcher and easing concerns that when the season 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.280 does start and you have that type of inning. The 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.960 Dodgers aren't We're not going to repeat what they did 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:07.000 last year where their bullpen was compromised in Sasaki starts 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.880 and even in glass Now starts to begin the year 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.439 last year that put them behind the eight ball. So 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.600 that's the reason why you guys keep asking me about 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.600 a name that you haven't heard of. There's a guy 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.440 from the Oakland A's that's in camp that may make 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:28.000 the opening day roster because of the uncertainty with Roki Sasaki, 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.800 where Otani is, where Yamamoto is coming back from the 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:36.639 World Baseball Classic. His name's Cole Irvin. He's a veteran 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.960 right hander. Was with the A's and he may make 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.400 the team coming out of camp, just to give them 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:43.320 some coverage. 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.520
