Spring braining a different activity entirely. 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: Braining is what they do after you get lesionaires. They 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: have to de brain you. So spring braining happens in 36 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: the spring. The white sock.

Spectrum Sports Net 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: La your La Dodgers on a five seventy in the 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: MLB Network on your Southern California. Tell you to dealer 59 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: Celebrity ontline. What's cracking, Dave? How are you? 60 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 6: I'm doing great. I'm getting some first class service by 61 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 6: Javier Herrera, one of the Dodgers bat boys, you know, 62 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 6: the one that saved Otani a couple of years, you know, 63 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 6: in Chicago. So feeling good, feeling good. His hands are 64 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 6: nice and lubricated, as he said the other day that year. 65 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 6: So I'm glad he moisturizes and ready to go with 66 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 6: his hands. 67 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: What did he do? Give you a massage? 68 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 5: Like? What? Yeah, I'll tell you right, game massage. It's weird, 69 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 5: all right. 70 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 6: That's the joke. When the Japanese media had him hold 71 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 6: a press conference after he saved Otani's life with that 72 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 6: foul ball in the dugout, he was so nervous when 73 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 6: they asked him, how did you do it? He just said, oh, 74 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 6: I moisturize a lot. So that's the joke. 75 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: Oh I got all right. Dave Roki another Japanese guy, 76 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki pitch today. What are the thoughts? What happened? 77 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: What's the vibe out there in the desert. 78 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 6: Well, the biggest thing is the Dodgers need Roki Sasaki, 79 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 6: and that's what Dave Roberts made clear. As the Dodgers 80 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 6: were playing this game against the Diamondbacks, the Dodger brass 81 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 6: was on the White Sox backfield watching Roki Sasaki pitch, 82 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 6: and by all accounts, it went better than it has 83 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 6: gone for him the majority of spring, and he was 84 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 6: effective for four scoreless innings. He allowed just one hit. 85 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 6: He had ninth strikeouts and the majority of those pitches 86 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 6: that he threw today were strikes. So that's the thing. 87 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 6: He needs to command his pitches and be able to 88 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 6: mix in that cutter slider that he's working on. Because 89 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 6: going back to what Dave Roberts said, they need Roki 90 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 6: Sasaki at the beginning of the season, maybe more than 91 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 6: ever with the injuries to Gavin Stone and Blake Snell 92 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 6: not going to be ready for opening days, so they 93 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 6: need his innings. He made that clear today. 94 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 5: So what do they need to see, Dave? Are we 95 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 5: talking starts in the spring training games, the Freeway series 96 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 5: that sort of stuff, like how much more do they 97 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 5: need to see? It sounds like today was a good step. 98 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 6: It's not so much about what they need to see, 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 6: it's about him being stretched out. So last now went 100 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 6: four plus innings, and Dave Roberts said it's that time 101 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 6: of spring where pitchers now have got to get stretched 102 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 6: out because he's betting on the performance getting better than 103 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 6: what it's been. And I guess today was an encouraging sign, 104 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 6: not only that he was able to go four innings, 105 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 6: but he did didn't give up a run but like 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 6: I said, that's on the backfield. He's got to be 107 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 6: able to do that against major league hitters consistently. 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 5: We look, we're used to it. It's been years now. 109 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 5: It seems like where the rotation, as Petros brought up 110 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 5: with you yesterday, it looks like one thing when the 111 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 5: season's about to start, and by the end of the 112 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 5: season it looks completely different. Glass nausea guy who's had 113 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 5: trouble staying healthy his entire career. You know him, well, 114 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: he threw today through well today four and a third, 115 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 5: gave up just a couple of hits. Kind of where 116 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 5: is he and his health, Dave? And what do you 117 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 5: expect out of him this year? 118 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 2: Yeah? 119 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 6: This is the best a space I've seen Tyler Glass 120 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 6: now since he became a Dodger. It seems like the 121 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 6: confidence that he gained through doing something that he had 122 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 6: never done before and was successful pitching out of the bullpen, 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 6: pitching effectively out of the bullpen during the World Series 124 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 6: to help the Dodgers win Game six and also doing 125 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 6: what he did in Game seven certainly has helped the 126 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 6: Dodgers and Glass now get on the same page where 127 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 6: he trusts the pitching coaches, the training staff, as he said, 128 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 6: and instead of just being a complete control freak in 129 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 6: his own words, he's allowed to let go and just 130 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 6: be athletic and not overthink things to the degree that 131 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 6: he had been the majority of his career. So right 132 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 6: now is never really the issue for Glass. Now it's 133 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 6: about him finishing the season. He's had a major league 134 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 6: high in starts, and that came in his first year 135 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 6: with the Dodgers. So whatever he is feeling now, however 136 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 6: he is feeling right now, the Dodgers need that to 137 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 6: continue throughout the entire year. 138 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: The one and only David Massey is our guest. Kyle 139 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: Tucker got hit by a pitch today, Dave, Is he okay? Yeah? 140 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 6: He went first to third and stayed in the game, 141 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 6: and through his spokesman, Max Munsey in the clubhouse, just 142 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 6: you know, after he came out of the game, he 143 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 6: told me he's fine, and he told me to beat it. 144 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 6: So throw through his spokesman next month. See Kyle Tucker's fine. 145 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: You a little cold towards you, huh. 146 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 6: I mean they were just I think they were annoyed 147 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 6: that I was even asking because he stayed in the game. 148 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 6: But you got to check, you know, So he's okay 149 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 6: and he'll be good. Good news is tomorrow the Dodgers 150 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 6: have a day off, so I'm sure he'll be ready 151 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 6: to go when they come back in two days from now. 152 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 5: Dave, when you get to this point, you talked about 153 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 5: getting stretched out for Rokie for glass. Now this is 154 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 5: where we shift the conversation slightly to what is happening 155 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: down in Houston. I'm sure you watched it, even though 156 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 5: you say you didn't. I can't believe you would pass 157 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 5: on a Paul Skins team USA versus Mexico. Start your 158 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 5: thought on arguably the best pitcher in baseball throwing ninety 159 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 5: eight mile an hour gas against Team Mexico out there yesterday. 160 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was watching it. Not only was he throwing 161 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 6: ninety eight, but that ball was dark and moving all 162 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 6: over the place. Mexico had no chance against schemes. And 163 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 6: just to put it into context of what we've been, 164 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 6: you know, debating the last week or so, I had 165 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 6: to get college basketball off the TV and ask the restaurant. 166 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 6: I was at, oh No, the World Baseball Classic gone 167 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 6: out here in Phoenix, and they initially put it on 168 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 6: Puerto Rico and Cuba. 169 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 2: I said no, no, no. 170 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 6: Fox, Fox, the big Fox. So they finally slipped it 171 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 6: there and I was basically the only one paying attention 172 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 6: to the game. So World Baseball Classic Fever has not 173 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 6: hit Glendale, Arizona just yet. 174 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: What about smell Zella fever? Is there an update on him? 175 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 6: Oh, that fever's always high, Petros. Everybody's got smell zella fever. 176 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 6: Good news, good news. Yesterday he told me he threw 177 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 6: off mound and the catcher was standing, and look, it's work. 178 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 6: I'm not saying it's significant, but it's the normal progression 179 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 6: for where he's at, and he's going to do it 180 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 6: again on Thursday. Basically, he's in the phase that a 181 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 6: pitcher would be in around January before pictures and catchers reports. 182 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 6: So since he was delayed in doing things and you know, 183 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 6: getting off the mound and playing catch, he's at that 184 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 6: point in time. So you know, May is a reasonable 185 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 6: guess on when he may pitch in a major league game. 186 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: Our is everybody tired of the spring already? Dave? Is 187 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: it already dragging in a horrible way? 188 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 6: It feels like the hitters are at that point, Petros, 189 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 6: I know Christian Yelich said yesterday he's ready for the 190 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 6: season to start, and just the ornerary type of attitude 191 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 6: I got today. It feels like the hitters are ready 192 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 6: for spring training to be over. But Clayton Kershaw always 193 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 6: thanked the hitters because he said six weeks spring training 194 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,359 Speaker 6: was for the pitchers, not for the hitters. So everybody's 195 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 6: under that understanding. 196 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 5: All right, Dave, Well, good luck finding the Dodgers Italy 197 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic tonight out there in Glendale or wherever 198 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 5: you may be.

Are you chained to fruition much 239 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: earlier than expected? 240 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 6: Oh? 241 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you said it was going to happen before 242 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: the All Star Matt. I mean you got in there, 243 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 2: you jumped on there, and then it crashed. 244 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 5: It was a bold move, Cotton, and it was too bold. 245 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 5: You still at the time a long shot. Kin a 246 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: team that I believe at the time was around I 247 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 5: don't know, thirteen fourteen games under five hundred, get back 248 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: to five hundred by the end of the year despite 249 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 5: starting six and twenty one. Well, the answer today is 250 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: an emphatic yes. Yes, they can still have a month 251 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 5: of games to play eighteen as a matter of fact, 252 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 5: in thirty two days. This doesn't seem too arduous, and 253 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 5: the Clippers have made it to five hundred. From six 254 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 5: six and twenty one to thirty two and thirty two. 255 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 5: Even if you were told there was no math, the 256 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 5: math is easy. That would be twenty six and eleven. 257 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 5: Since December nineteenth, there are only two teams with a 258 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 5: better record than the Clippers, since they pivoted that Clipper 259 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 5: ship and found smooth water, not easy to do in 260 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 5: the midst of rough seas. The other two teams are 261 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 5: two of the three favorites to win it all. The 262 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 5: Celtics are twenty eight and ten, the Spurs also twenty 263 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 5: eight and ten, and again the Clippers twenty six and eleven. 264 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 5: They damn near beat the Spurs this past Friday before 265 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 5: a hell of a collapse and a hell of an effort. 266 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: Oh bring me to tears as a Frenchman. 267 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 5: Very emotional Frenchman Victor Wembinyama after that come back from 268 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 5: over twenty points dout. But the Clips then ask us 269 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 5: to ask ourselves and to ask our listening audience, well, 270 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 5: two questions, One do you care? And two, well you know? 271 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 5: Are they any good? Kawhi Leonard is damn good? Is 272 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: he fun to watch? 273 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so, Yeah he is. He's he's a 274 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: great player. Yeah, he's fun to want he plays, He's awesome. 275 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: Is he fun to listen to talk after games. No, 276 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: but he's incredible and he is playing at a level 277 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: that puts him in the conversation as the best player 278 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: in the league. 279 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 5: MVP level stuff. And this is where the new league 280 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 5: rules can make things a little bit tricky. I'm sure 281 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 5: the Clippers would like nothing more than to have Kawhi 282 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 5: Leonard finish top five in the MVP voting and be 283 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 5: part of the All NBA team one to two or three. 284 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 5: Kawhi is the poster child for load management. It was 285 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 5: essentially created for him by Greg Popovich, along with his 286 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 5: teammates Monogenobili, Banastois Banastois, Tony Parker, Tony Parker a little 287 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 5: bit of Tim Duncan in there, even though he didn't 288 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 5: like it. The new league rules make a minimum of 289 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 5: sixty five games be played by an individual in order 290 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 5: to qualify them for any season and awards, including all 291 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 5: NBA teams. Is Kawhi first Team? Probably not, but maybe 292 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 5: you got shag gilges Alexander who cemented himself as the 293 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 5: MVP with a hell of a performance last night. Mean, 294 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 5: mister Mustard, you know what I was gonna say. I 295 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 5: think that's to me when when you're dressed like mean 296 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 5: mister Mustard, and the night before you're dressed like Elizabeth Taylor. 297 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 5: I feel like you're making too much money. 298 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, are you walking around like that in Oklahoma? Yeah, 299 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: that's the real weird part. Like it's one thing if 300 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: it's La or New York City, I mean. 301 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, the met is next week and you're trying 302 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 5: to score an invite or something. I think you're just 303 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 5: making too much money. Shay, you got way too much 304 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 5: money to spend if you're gonna drop what I'm guessing 305 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 5: is like ten grand on mister Mustard outfit. 306 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: It just doesn't just too much. 307 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 5: Just give half of it away and get yourself back 308 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 5: on track where you don't have to buy that and 309 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 5: you don't have to wear that. You got Shay Gil, 310 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 5: just Alexander Victor, Wembin Yama, Nikola Jokic. They are one, 311 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 5: no question about first team one, two, and three in 312 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 5: some order in the MVP voting. And then behind that, 313 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 5: I think you got Kawhi Leonard in that grouping of 314 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 5: Jalen Brown, Cad Cunningham, and probably Luka Doncic as who 315 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 5: would round out that first team All NBA Second Team 316 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 5: no question a lock. But he is going to have 317 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 5: to play at least fifteen of the final eighteen games. 318 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 5: So I ask you, mister Jimmy the Greek about I'm 319 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 5: not Jimmy the Greek. 320 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: I don't care. 321 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 5: Uh do you think? Do you think Kawhi Leonard will 322 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 5: play fifteen of the final eighteen Clippers games between now 323 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 5: and April twelve? There is a back to back at 324 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 5: home on April seventh and eighth against the Mavericks and 325 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 5: the Thunder. There is a back to back on the road, 326 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 5: but they are both in New Orleans. March eighteenth and 327 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 5: nineteenth against the Pelicans. And he has got a back 328 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 5: to back this Friday and Saturday at home against your 329 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 5: Chicago Bulls and the Sacramento Kings. No, no chance, no chance, 330 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 5: no chance, no chance, no flipping no, no, he could 331 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 5: he could sit out again. There are four back to backs. 332 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 5: He can set out three of them and still get 333 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 5: the fifteen games. Do you think he would play in 334 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 5: one of the back to back situations? Again, three of 335 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 5: them are at home, one of them is on the road, 336 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 5: and the one on the road is in the same city. No, 337 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 5: that's not. 338 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: No, I don't believe. No asking me, is Kawhi Leonard 339 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: gonna play? My answer is almost always no, no. 340 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 5: Yeah. The team was six and twenty one. They are 341 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 5: now thirty two and thirty two. It makes no sense. 342 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 5: Kawhi is averaging twenty eight six and four and fifty 343 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 5: percent shooting. A guy that Don McClain was excited about 344 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 5: at the start of the season, John Collins, the trade 345 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 5: that was made started to look like a disaster prior 346 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 5: to this turnaround. It is exactly what Dmax said it 347 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 5: would be. Thirty minutes per game, sixteen points, seven rebounds 348 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 5: the last two months on sixty two percent shooting. Took 349 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 5: over four threes per game in the month of January 350 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 5: and hit fifty eight percent of them February shooting forty 351 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 5: percent on his threes. Who would have thought you'd feel better? Well, 352 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 5: actually know what I did. Think I'd feel better about 353 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 5: Darius Garland even if he never played a game, as 354 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 5: opposed to having to watch James Harden, one of the 355 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 5: most unlikable and unentertaining players. Even though Don McClain came 356 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 5: around on him through the course of the season or 357 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 5: his couple seasons here with the Clippers, I did not 358 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 5: He is not entertaining at all to watch. Darius Garland 359 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 5: is he just turned twenty six years old and he 360 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 5: is averaging just over twenty minutes per game, and yet 361 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 5: he's putting up seventeen points in six assists since he 362 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 5: started playing again for the Clips. His plus minus numbers 363 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 5: are great. Hell of a deal. Not to mention, Benedict 364 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 5: Mathurian is playing absolutely incredible. He's already got seven twenty 365 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 5: plus point games. 366 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: A Mathurian candidate Matt. 367 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, Mathurian candidate. Mathurian has already got a thirty eight 368 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 5: point game and that was. 369 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: Did they change it? 370 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: No, it's the Methurian Candada. Oh, you hit it, dude, 371 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 5: It's an awesome nickname. 372 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: Those are the guys from Cleveland, right Uh. 373 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 5: Matherin came from Indiana and in Garland the Zeubs trade. 374 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 5: Garland came from Cleveland in the Hardened trade, the me 375 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 5: a Thurian candidate. I love it. For a team with 376 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 5: no draft picks to have young talent playing this well. 377 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: There with the Batoon battalion, unthinkable, but we love it. 378 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 5: Again. The question is does it matter? Will they be 379 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 5: a threat in the playoffs When you look above them 380 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 5: and see they'll likely face the Thunder or the Spurs 381 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 5: in the first round. I think if you squint hard enough, 382 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 5: you can kind of see maybe now the young, inexperienced 383 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 5: Spurs struggling a little bit. If Kawhi Leonard can put 384 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 5: the team on his back, is it likely? 385 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: No? 386 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 5: But if you squint real. 387 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 2: Hard, you're saying the Spurs are young and and newbile 388 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: like te SIPSI. You know how it goes. 389 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: You know they always say you gotta have a little 390 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 5: bit of experience, or do you get this thing right. 391 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 2: Quickly? 392 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 5: I do want to shift real quick to Steve Kerr. 393 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 5: He wants ten fewer games. Steve, I will give you your 394 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 5: ten fewer games if you will give me four fewer teams. 395 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 5: How about that? 396 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 2: What about all the records? Man? 397 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 5: I appreciate Steve Kerr, former regular guest on The Petros 398 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 5: and Money Show, even though he treated me like dirt 399 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 5: during one of the conversations and I didn't appreciate that, 400 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 5: but it was funny. At least it's not Lebron James 401 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 5: just throwing out bs that some Lackey nods and agrees 402 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 5: with on a podcast. Instead, Kerr presented it with numbers 403 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: and statements that were quantitative and qualitative, and he made 404 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 5: some pretty good points. He shared that the pace of 405 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 5: the NBA right now is a ten percent increase from 406 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 5: what it was twenty years ago. The teams have gone 407 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 5: from ninety possessions per game to one hundred possessions per game, 408 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 5: So down then that's ten percent increase, which means on 409 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 5: an eighty two game season, you are playing about eight 410 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 5: more games per season. He pointed out the proliferation of 411 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 5: three point shooting his led the need for covering more 412 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 5: floor on defense. So instead of packing the paint letting 413 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 5: guys shoot threes, you now have to guard the three 414 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 5: point line. Those guys are dragging your ass all over 415 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 5: the place, setting screens, getting into picking rolls and kickouts, 416 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 5: which is pretty much the only offense that's being run anymore. 417 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 5: No more dumping it into the post big man short 418 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: area game with pounding. It's catch and chase. I do 419 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 5: appreciate that he acknowledged that this will never happen, but 420 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 5: then he did talk about it for about five or 421 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 5: seven minutes, so you could call it an excuse. 422 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 2: Sounds like something in particular, let's talk about, let's talk 423 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 2: in depth about something that's never. 424 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 5: Gonna never happened. This is my kind of conversation. He 425 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 5: did lose Jimmy Butler for the season. Steph has been 426 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 5: dealing with an ankle again or a knee or out 427 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 5: of something down in his lower body for a month, 428 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 5: so it certainly sets up nicely for him to make 429 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 5: an excuse about what went wrong this year for the Warriors. 430 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 5: But I we'll say, there's a pretty good way to 431 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 5: deal with this because it's not gonna change below you, 432 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 5: not when the league is making you know, twelve billion 433 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 5: dollars a year, whatever the hell it is. Right now, 434 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 5: kids are gonna play all year. They're gonna start playing 435 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 5: when they're five and six, and they're gonna be on 436 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 5: all star teams and travel teams, and they will play 437 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 5: on that hardwood for their entire youth, and they will 438 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 5: come with way more mileage on their legs than players 439 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 5: of the nineteen eighties had because they played football and 440 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 5: then basketball and then baseball and then they took the 441 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 5: summer off. So yes, that has changed, which means you 442 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 5: have got to develop depth on your team, and that 443 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 5: does not happen in an NBA that has four too 444 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 5: many teams or six too many teams, and if you 445 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 5: would strike them, you would be able to build depth 446 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 5: out and not have Bronnie James be your fifteenth man 447 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 5: who has no business being on a basketball court. What 448 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 5: it means to me, Sorry, I got that from Jalen Brown. 449 00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 5: I'm just stealing his thoughts. 450 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 2: So you're stealing his thought that somebody read his lips 451 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 2: sitting alone and having a private conversation. More on that 452 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: later with the film No Wark Corner. 453 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, the idea that this is solved by cutting games. 454 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 5: No cut teams make make basketball good again. Where your 455 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 5: player eleven through fifteen has no business really being on 456 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 5: a roster and they're just did not play the Nikaput 457 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 5: every single night, did not play coaches' decision exactly. That's 458 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 5: what they are. So that's the solution. You can actually 459 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 5: have players on your bench that you can go to, 460 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 5: so you don't have to play Steph Curry with his 461 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 5: broken down legs thirty eight minutes per night. You can 462 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 5: play in twenty eight because you've got a guy you 463 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: can go to on the bench that can give you 464 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: fifteen or twenty minutes. And that would be a nice solution. Instead, 465 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 5: they're going to probably put one hundred million bucks in 466 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 5: each of their pockets per team when they expand to 467 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 5: Seattle and Las Vegas, and instead of going down to 468 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 5: twenty six, go up to thirty two, and hopefully Brownie 469 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 5: James will be selected in the expansion draft and we 470 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 5: won't have to see his G League highlights on the 471 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 5: front page of ESPN. We can see his Las Vegas 472 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 5: or Seattle or Nashville or whatever other team they're trying 473 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 5: to plug in here highlights. So thank you, Steve, appreciate it. 474 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 5: Love the PowerPoint. Seems like there's a better solution than 475 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 5: cutting ten games, and it's let's get better players to 476 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 5: fill out these rosters. 477 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 2: Well, there's plenty of good players available right now in 478 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic. Some of these guys look pretty tall. Oh. 479 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 2: I like that construction worker on a checking the electrician man. Electrician. 480 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: Love that guy. We'll be back with more Petros and 481 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 2: money on AMPI seventy LA Sports. Stay tuned.

We're stupid. 489 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 5: But Max Crosby the trade has been called off. He 490 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 5: failed as physical in Baltimore. So the Raiders, having just 491 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 5: spent an absolute fortune on players, after having traded the 492 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 5: thirty five million dollars salary of Max Crosby, the Tyler Linderbaum, 493 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 5: then Kobe Dean kway Walker, all of those giant contracts, 494 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 5: they're going to try to figure this thing out. They 495 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 5: did have a number of suitors for Crosby as opposed 496 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 5: to just the Ravens and those two number ones. But 497 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 5: the Ravens get their first round picks back, the Raiders 498 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 5: get Max Crosby back.
