Correct? 28 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Was that a Let me see we have a leak 29 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: that is something different. Okay. That is the classifications for 30 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: football next year. And that's what you were talking average 31 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: daily attendance. 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: With your last show that you talked about. 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: On Friday last week. That's what we were talking about. 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: Is the potential for Oklahoma City and Tulsa Public schools 35 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: to remove themselves from the districting process. There has been 36 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: an update on that. By the way, the districting process 37 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: was supposed to take place last week and be revealed 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: this last week and be revealed next week. The OSSAA 39 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: has put that off. There is also a pending court 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: case on Rule fourteen, which Rule fourteen is applicable to 41 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: the private schools. Is as like moving them up classes 42 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: with the success that they have. A judge has to 43 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: rule if that is legal or not legal. If it's 44 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: not legal, then a bunch of private schools are going 45 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: to go from class three eight to two A, four 46 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: A to three eight, not many and four A but 47 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: not any in four A. So there's a lot of 48 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: stuff going on with high school sports, but none of 49 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: this is relatable to basketball. 50 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: You got a basketball game this week in Midwest City 51 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: and Carl Albert. 52 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah there, and they're going to make up some tournament 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: games over the next week or so that were snowed 54 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: out last Saturday. So we'll we have some pretty good 55 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: games going on. We might as well get into this 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: now and not save it. But there was an incident 57 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: in a game last night that was I got tipped 58 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: off of this by Skinny from Elk City Mangam traveling 59 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: to Frederick last night. Not necessarily anything that is out 60 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: of the ordinary. There, Mangum was ahead by quite a 61 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: bit in the fourth quarter. Early in the fourth quarter 62 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: and seem what are the referees? He had enough from 63 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: the stands. Not only did he eject a couple of 64 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: dudes that were rising him and giving him in a business, 65 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: he ejected the entire stands on one side of the 66 00:03:52,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: gym oh Oh and that there was a radio station 67 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: out of Mangam broadcasting the game some former colleagues of ours. 68 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: I hear at the station, and he was the only 69 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: one that was allowed to stay on that side of 70 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: the arena. And a woman that was feeding a baby 71 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: a bottle, she was not going, and I guess the 72 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: referee did not deem her a threat or the baby 73 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: of threat since it's not a bottle in his mouth. 74 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: This goes against the old saying, I mean, they can't 75 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: kick us all out, they can't arrest us all. 76 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: They kicked them all out. They kicked him all out. 77 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: So it looked like some people were pretty pissed off. 78 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: Not everybody was yelling at the referee, but it was 79 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: one of those deals where I guess, like if you 80 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: got a guy on a team that does something really 81 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: bad or wrong and then they make the rest of 82 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: the team run sprints while that guy just sits and watches. So, yeah, 83 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: they ejected everybody. I'll look forward to digging deeper into 84 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: this story. Didn't recognize the referee, hmm, but I'd love 85 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: to hear this story. It seems it seems a tad 86 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: bit aggressive, yes, to eject to the entire side of 87 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: the stands, Like I think, probably you should identify the 88 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: people that are the most egregious and just remedy that 89 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: by getting rid of them. But women, children, everyone ejected 90 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: except radio announcer and baby baby mama. That was all 91 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: they got to stay. 92 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen some funny high school ejections, but 93 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: that might be at the top of the list. I 94 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: was in attendance one time with my buddy Conrad Walcher, 95 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: who went on to play golf at Wichita State. Great player. Uh, 96 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: but he grabbed the ball from the official and got 97 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 2: tossed at a PC North Evan North game. 98 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: Uh. PC North? Is that at PC North? 99 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 100 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, the PC North vans the they're right there on 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: the floor, that's right. So he had too much access. Yeah, 102 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: there has to be some good ejection stories. 103 00:05:59,680 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: I was. 104 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: We had a junior high game against Alva in which 105 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: a couple of football coaches got into a fight. That 106 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: was interesting. But h yeah, I've of all the high 107 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: school games I've done, I don't think I've seen that 108 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: many ejections. We had a fan ejection at the cash 109 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: and tournament a couple of weeks ago, but it's just one, 110 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: just one dude that were yelling at the referees. 111 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: So I'm all for the officials with the occasional one 112 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: fan ejection. I feel like, I don't know, I wasn't there. 113 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: Would you say it was in Wagner? Where was this again, Frederick? Frederick? 114 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Yeah, I mean, I wasn't there in Frederick. 115 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: But it seems like maybe a possible overreaction a little bit. 116 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: That's what I've I'm I got the video sent to 117 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: me today. I can send the video to you, So 118 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: I didn't really have time during the show to listen 119 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: and for if there were any expletives going on there 120 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: may there may have been because the audio dropped for 121 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: a period of time, but uh yeah, I don't. I 122 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: would just I wonder if that if the referees, you know, well, hey, 123 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I've spent time refereeing games and umpiring 124 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: and all those type of things. You I was gonna 125 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: go you people, But the you people that yell at 126 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: these officials and stuff, I mean, you're not really affecting 127 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: the game very much, just making yourself look stupid. So 128 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly don't want to stand in support 129 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: of anybody that gets kicked out, but kicking out the 130 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: entire group, I don't know. And I'm continuing to watch 131 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: the game here. There's about two minutes left and the 132 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: woman and and the baby h left, So I think 133 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: they got a pardon until the baby was had the 134 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: entire bottle. 135 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: Yes, makes sense, But. 136 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love to Uh, I'd love to hear 137 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: from somebody that was at the game last night or 138 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: what happened, or even the referees. So baller, move everybody, 139 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: you gotta go, you gotta go. All right, we have 140 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: a lot of things to discussed today. The Thunder played 141 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: last night. They play pretty poorly. They screaming this from 142 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: the mountaintops. Yeah, until they get dub or Mitchell or 143 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: some sort of scoring to go along with SGA. This 144 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: team is not very good. They're not very good. You're 145 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: asking guys that have played incredible roles for a championship 146 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: team to do things outside of their comfort zone. That 147 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: one stretch last night where lou Dort was handling the ball, 148 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: it was like he was a point guard. I mean 149 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: they needed to have that the Benny Hill music going on, 150 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: like the ultimate chasing down the pitcher in Japan. I 151 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: mean that need to be playing underneath it. It was 152 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: that bad. 153 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: So I'm glad you brought that up because that does 154 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: have a lot to do with the injuries, right, because Shay, 155 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 2: especially against a lengthier defender like Jayden McDaniels for instance, 156 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: is better coming off the ball and coming off screens, 157 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: right And well, I mean, obviously lou Dort is not 158 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: a facilitator. Neither is Aaron Wiggins. And normally in that 159 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: situation you would want to have AJ, Mitchell or dubb 160 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: bringing the ball up the floor. But they don't have 161 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 2: those guys. Right now, that goes to your point. Offensively, 162 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 2: it's not just AJ and Dubbs scoring, it's their facilitating 163 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, but I mean, I get full credit 164 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: to Minnesota. They came out with the fire of a 165 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: thousand suns, didn't they. I mean, they were just playing 166 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: like the thunder. They were saying, essentially, you know, call it, right, 167 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna faul you call it. And they 168 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: came out with a ton of physicality. They made what 169 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: twelve threes in the first half, and they ended up 170 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: shooting I don't know what, they ended up shooting, like 171 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: fifty seven percent from the three point line. When you 172 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: play elite defense like that, and you make a bunch 173 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: of threes, you're gonna win the game. 174 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: In the NBA, I am, it's the NBA season is 175 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: really interesting, man. I mean it's so long October to 176 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: April that you go through these stretches and you have 177 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: games which you don't play well. But I mean, Oklahoma City, 178 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: it's way more than this, and so it's hard to 179 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: sit here and discuss, Like the sports radio in this 180 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: market was created, and I'm talking about football, and when 181 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: you play eleven football games or twelve football games, which 182 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: you do now in regular season, and there's a bad game, 183 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: then yeah, there's a whole lot to talk about that 184 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: needs to get fixed immediately, right in order to win 185 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: championships and things like that. But in the NBA, you 186 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: play eighty two games. There's just nights that you get beat, 187 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: even against teams with bad records. And then, like we 188 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: were discussing last hour, then there's months when a team 189 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: that has eight or nine games under five hundred has 190 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: the best road month in the history of the league. 191 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: And so a lot of outlying circumstances. But this Thunder 192 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: team right now, if it's not healthy, if this is 193 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: the team that they hit the postseason with that's not 194 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna win, That's right, or it would be very tough 195 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: for them to win, or they would have to I 196 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: think do some things differently than they're doing right now. 197 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: But you know a lot of times to in the NBA, 198 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: when you have a player that goes out, it's not 199 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: necessarily the next man up that goes in. I mean, 200 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: you have a guy that comes in that can fill 201 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: a certain role. And there's a lot of different roles 202 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: in the NBA. It's not just putting five guys out 203 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: there that are all the best basketball players on the team. 204 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, It's why you have specific roles three and 205 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: D guys, you know, guys with a ball in their 206 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: hand that facilitate offense, things like that, so thunderneath scoring 207 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: until they get it, it can be five hundred basketball 208 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: at best. Now, in my opinion, if. 209 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: You were Sam Presty, which is a hilarious thing to say, 210 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: but if you were Sam Presty, how worried would you 211 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 2: be about dub Let's say that you know that hamstring 212 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: is not good right now, because I mean when he 213 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: got hurt, he could barely walk off the floor, limping severely. 214 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: He was already dealing with the other issues from the 215 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: hand and having the you know, heated glove on the sidelines, 216 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: and he was turning down open threes because he was 217 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 2: not as confident in a shot as he has been 218 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: because that was on a shooting hand. How much would 219 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: you be looking into a possible trade before the deadline 220 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: to get some of that scoring? 221 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It's a good question. 222 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Only they know, or dub No's or the doctors know 223 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: how serious the hamstring is. I don't, and I just 224 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: don't know who, Like who you're gonna get. 225 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: I mean, because this Trey Murphy. 226 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: If they are out for extended period of time, I mean, 227 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna really have to rely on Aaron Wiggins. You 228 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: know you're gonna have to rely I mean because he 229 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: can provide the role of scoring. He can play with 230 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: the ball in his hand when SGA's out of the game. 231 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: But when SGA went to the bench last night, I'm like, 232 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: what in the world is going on out here? 233 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean ken Rich Williams, who I love, killed 234 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: them last night. He was a turnover machine. Isaiah Joe 235 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: was getting cooked on the defensive end. Yeah, man, I 236 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: mean that that lineup that they put out there and 237 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: k So obviously he's a great defender, but he can't 238 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: create his own shot. They really miss AJ and they 239 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 2: really miss Dub, especially when Shay's off the floor. 240 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 241 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: You know what I'm most worried about about the thunder 242 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: go ahead is I did the math on this last night. 243 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: OKC has now lost three straight games in the Sunset uniforms, 244 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: and now they fall to six and five on the 245 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: season in the Sunset uniforms. When do they wear them next? 246 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: At Denver on February first. Now, my high school teammate 247 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 2: is the equipment manager for the Thunder I might need 248 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 2: to send out the bat signal and say we're not 249 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: wearing the sunsets on February first. 250 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: If the sunsets can help them get healthy, I think 251 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 1: that they're going to everything's gonna be fine, like the 252 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: Sunset too. But they're not winning them. I think that's good, 253 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,599 Speaker 1: good good. Uh. I'm always in for uniform jinxes or 254 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: uniform discussion there. We got some text in the text line. 255 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: There was a referee or as an umpire, that ejected 256 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: an entire section at a softball game last season at 257 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: Fort Cobb, even a ninety year old grandma. 258 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: The grandma. 259 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: I wonder if the grandma was giving him the business too, 260 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah. And then then we were reminiscing 261 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: with the texture about last year with the Kyrie Irving 262 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: game at pay Calm Well my nephew. We all thought 263 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: my nephew was ejected for talking trash to Kyrie Irving, 264 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: but it was not him. It was just people in 265 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: the vicinity. So anyway, good stuff. People behave, Please behave 266 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: out there. I'm just just telling you, just behave, especially 267 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: if you you know, you paid pay a harder five 268 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: to ten dollars to get in there to watch the 269 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: high school basketball, so hopefully you stay around break Seth 270 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: Wiley Ford, fill up the phones. Love to talk to you. 271 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: We have not talked really much about the Super Bowl. 272 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna blame myself, Okay, I I got some other 273 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: things going on right now, but I do want to 274 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: kind of handicap the Super Bowl in depth. I feel 275 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: like this could be a good game, but I think 276 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: it's a hard one to predict. So we'll talk about 277 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: why when we come back here at Seth Widley Ford, 278 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: Ma Marker's seventy two in Paul's Valley.

Guys? 294 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: How are you doing? 295 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 4: Calling in from New York. I wanted to talk about 296 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 4: the new Ossa High school football classifications. I'm a Norman 297 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 4: High grad myself. I thought it was pretty interesting Norman 298 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 4: High moving down to six A two, So I was 299 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: curious what you thought about those and if you could 300 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 4: kind of elaborate on is it really just school population 301 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 4: base that determines these classifications? 302 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the average daily attendance, and they waited this 303 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: year to release those numbers for the October numbers to 304 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: try to make them a little bit more accurate. Enid 305 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: is going to withdraw and play an independent schedule in 306 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: that upper class. I'm telling you. I mean, I would 307 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: think Norman might be the highest eight AM in six 308 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: A Division two. I can look at those numbers. But 309 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: and so depending on if they just put Enid in 310 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: a district and allow them to not play in the district, 311 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: that makes sense, that would hold their place. But if 312 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: they just moved Enid completely out, it's gonna bump somebody up. 313 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: So I know that Norman and Southmore were the schools 314 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: that switch places. Southmore moves up from six A Division 315 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: two to six A Division one and Norman moves down. 316 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: That'll help the Tigers. That will help them, I mean, 317 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, uh dealing with the powers that be up 318 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: in that classification. So if they get to stay in 319 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: six A Division two, I'd expect them to uh to 320 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: be right in the middle of playing for state championship 321 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: in that class. 322 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome to hear. Thanks a bunch of guys 323 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 4: appreciate it. 324 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: Okay, what are you doing in New York. He left 325 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: us go on huh okay. So yeah, those uh, those 326 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: numbers are getting all kinds of texts for people of 327 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: U with their stories of ejections from the stands. Seems 328 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: like more people are getting ejected from baseball and softball 329 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: games than anything else. 330 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: Balls and. 331 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: Getting to the empire.

It's got a lance 357 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: sort of plans. 358 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 5: Hey, so I know this is a little predumptuous, but 359 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 5: let's say that a certain coach from what you gets fired. Okay, 360 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 5: I have you guys talked at all, but who you 361 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 5: think could be on the horizon as a possible coach. 362 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 5: And then I have one other thing that's non related 363 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: that's kind of amusing from yesterday. So I I door 364 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 5: dash on the side, I do, I do the delivery. 365 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 5: And yesterday after your show, a couple hours after your show, 366 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 5: I got a delivery for saltines. You did not, I did? 367 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 6: I did. 368 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 5: It was one of many items, but but I went 369 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: to pick up the saltines and they were out, So 370 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 5: I had to look for the replacement. Because they give 371 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 5: you a little list of possible replacements that the customer's 372 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 5: okay with, and they were okay with replacing the Saltines 373 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 5: with plub crackers. So just so you know, Saltines are 374 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 5: first club or second according to this particular DoorDash self form. 375 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: Anyway, did that DoorDash person tip you, well. 376 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was not a bad one. 377 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: Not a bad one, Okay, all right, I was hoping 378 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: they were horrible human is there is there anybody that 379 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: you like as far as a candidate goes. 380 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 5: I mean, for me personally, it's more sentimental than anything else. 381 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 5: I'd love to see Kelvin Son, but I don't know 382 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 5: if he's ready or if he would ever leave there. 383 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 5: He's probably gonna be the next coach at Houston, But 384 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 5: other than that, I don't really know all the names 385 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 5: that are out there. That's kind of why I was 386 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 5: wondering what you guys kind of were thinking and what 387 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 5: you had heard. 388 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: There are a lot of good coaches. I mean, if 389 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: it were me making a move, I would look for 390 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: somebody that has ties to this area, that has really 391 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: really good, a good grasp on recruiting, like connections to 392 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: the academies, to summer basketball, the Nike, you know what's 393 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: going on all these type of things. Kellen, I would 394 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: say no, And this is why he is the coach 395 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: in waiting at Houston. Uh. They have the ball rolling 396 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: down there right now. They have money set up behind 397 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: for Tita family, and all kinds of issues that would 398 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: have to change and owe you in a drastic way 399 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: to get competitive to where Houston is off. That staff 400 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: is Hollis Price. He doesn't have any experience other than 401 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: coaching on Kellen or Kelvin staff, So I know that 402 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: that would make good for some excitement around here if 403 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: that would happen and he would be a candidate. I 404 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: don't see any way in which this this is not 405 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: gonna happen. I mean, it's been talking about this for 406 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. At this situation, I think it's 407 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: going to take care of itself to the point of 408 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: being obvious by the time the season's over. I mean, 409 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: he's gone through a stretch of their season that's that 410 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: that's the most favorable in the SEC SEE and they're 411 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: on a seven game losing streak, So they're gonna have 412 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: to get hot against better people in order to uh, 413 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: I think for Porter to stay. 414 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 5: So let me ask you this. It's like in football, 415 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 5: the coaches started getting fired early because they want to 416 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 5: start looking for a new one. 417 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 7: Is that not U? 418 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 5: Is that not kind of the same thing in basketball? 419 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 5: Or do does that help them to wait till the 420 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 5: end of the year to let him go. I think 421 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 5: everybody knows who's gonna get fired. 422 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: I don't think you create as much of an advantage. 423 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: And like, for example, I mean, you're not going to 424 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: bring in somebody like in the football season, You're not 425 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: bringing in somebody new. You're just kind of getting ahead 426 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: of the cycle. Uh. And I don't know that there's 427 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: mid major coaches out there that are so considered to 428 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: be so good, or one that would be considered to 429 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: be so good that you have to make a preemptive move. 430 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: I know, I don't think it's gonna happen until you 431 00:23:53,560 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: know around conference tournament time. Fair enough, give you the 432 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: phone call. There's not another name.

I mean, we get our center back. 491 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: A J. 492 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 6: Mitchell is a big deal. 493 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: A J. 494 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 6: Mitchell I think is the biggest piece to this whole thing, 495 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 6: which is crazy to think that he's only played as 496 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 6: many games. 497 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:12,959 Speaker 9: As he's played. 498 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 6: He is by far. I think that the. 499 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: Big we haven't you know, we didn't beat San. 500 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 6: Antonio without him. We haven't had him. 501 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 3: So let's let's get him back and let's you know. 502 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: And I think that Jay dub has done for the year. 503 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 3: That injury looked bad, like he didn't move immediately, so 504 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 3: in my opinion, like he will come back, but he's 505 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: going to need this summer. To the wrist is one thing, 506 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 3: but that that hamstring or it was hamstring, right, yeah, yeah, 507 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: or hip or whatever, that's another thing. 508 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 6: So that's what I think about that. And then I 509 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 6: think everything's been going. 510 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 10: Real good for me. I appreciate you guys being on 511 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 10: the radio every day. I love me some Jim Travor. 512 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 10: So he hasn't freaked out lately. I'd like to maybe 513 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 10: call and get him riled up. What do you think 514 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 10: I could get him riled up with? 515 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: Oh, I can give you a list of all kinds 516 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: of things you can get him riled up about. For sure. 517 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: You know you probably know there's some hot, hot button topics. 518 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: Just call in. I want to talk about the w 519 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: I know is a big deal. Yeah. I asked him 520 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: to break down the WNBA when they finally get got 521 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: back to playing. 522 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, he won't do that. 523 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll get him fired up. Yeah, all right, thanks 524 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: over been. Carlon Hartman is the associate coach of A 525 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: Florida who was on Loch Bruger staff at OU. So yes, 526 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: there's an OU connection that is done a good job. 527 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: Left OU and went with Kevin to UNLV in twenty 528 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: twenty one, the year that Porter took over. Has been 529 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: at Florida since twenty twenty two. Ryan's next, What, Brian? 530 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 4: What's up? 531 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 9: I thought i'ven't seeing a lot of stuff about Jannie 532 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 9: in the like trade rumors and stuff. What are your 533 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 9: thoughts on bringing him to the Thunder and who would 534 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 9: you give up? 535 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: Well, this is a interesting discussion, okay, I mean just 536 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: to say, ah, no, it would be kind of crazy. 537 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you put him on Oklahoma City, that 538 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: would I think, for sure help this team immensely with 539 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: what he does athletically. It could provide some backside help 540 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: defense to Chat. I mean, they would be incredible at 541 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: the rim against the opposition. They would have a presence 542 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: in the paint. What would it take to get him 543 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: based on some of the other things like Milwaukee is wanting, 544 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the Thunder could easily make 545 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: a deal for anyone they want. You would have to include. 546 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't think you include Chet, although that might be 547 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: their asking price. 548 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 9: You definitely get rid of hard Stein. I know his 549 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 9: contracts pretty pretty hefty. That'd be a good piece. 550 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Well, if I'm Milwaukee, I want a J. Mitchell. Oh yeah, 551 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: I want that, and I want I want a boat 552 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: letter of picks. But I don't think so. So anyway, 553 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: the likelihood of this happening, of the Thunder getting answer 554 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: to Kupo is something like that. Yeah, so I don't 555 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: see it happening, But if you put him on the thunder, 556 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: I mean, would it helped? That would any better? The 557 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: answer to that is yes, how could they not be? Now? 558 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: Last night I kept thinking Minnesota, who was talked about 559 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 2: all day yesterday as aggressively pursuing Janni's Antetokumpo. I kept thinking, Man, 560 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 2: I mean, if you substitute Jannis for Gobert or Jannis 561 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 2: for Julius Randall, that makes Minnesota pretty darn scary. 562 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 1: I agree with that. 563 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, well talk have a good one. 564 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks appreciate it. Sounds like he thinks that he 565 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: was he was planning on getting the Janni's thunder Jersey 566 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: like later today. 567 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: I think if the Thunder did, which they're not gonna, 568 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 2: but if they did, I mean, you would have to 569 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: deal Chet and you would say, okay, which I can't 570 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: believe I'm saying, but I would trade. If they were saying, 571 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: are asking prices Chet, thank you very much, We'll. 572 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: Take Chett and picks Chatting a bunch of picks. 573 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Chetting picks and you know I'm not giving up 574 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 2: aj Mitchell. 575 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: Though, the one thing for the Thunder is that they're 576 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: probably gonna end up paying chat close to what somebody 577 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: pays Giannis. That's true when they extend him. 578 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 2: What is Giannis making sixty? 579 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's gonna have a new contract after the 580 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: next season, right, I don't see like I see Janis 581 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: is kind of like that. Remember when the Thunder recording 582 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: a Paul Gasol and he was like, there's not as 583 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: many art museums here as I would like. I kind 584 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: of see johann as having that same view of Oklahoma City, 585 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: especially since like I want to play in New York 586 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: or I want to play in Miami. I mean, which 587 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: is it's a little bit of like That's one of 588 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: the greatest things about Sga is that I don't hear 589 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: him complain about being in Oklahoma City. I don't know 590 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: that it would be that way forever, but I mean, 591 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: he's such a into the game and improving and a 592 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,719 Speaker 1: competitor and all about basketball at this point in his 593 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: life that I don't think it bothers him to be 594 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma City, because I'm I'm Oklahoma, threw it through, 595 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: never wanted to leave here at any time. I love it. 596 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: But you know, I wasn't born in Greece or some 597 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: of these other type of things at NBA players, So 598 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: I think if you're in the NBA, it's not looked 599 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: at as as a destination to want to move here. 600 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: Credit to the Thunder for doing anything and everything they 601 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: can to make it good for those players while they're here. 602 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: And I think that that's something and the Saint Presty 603 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: knows is that, Hey, the organization has to be top 604 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: notch in first class in order to want these guys 605 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: to to be able to stay here. Do you think 606 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: that small market matters as much as it used to, 607 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: especially with social media and everything. I feel like Shay's 608 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: a pretty big star. I mean way less than it 609 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: used to. Yeah, way less than it used to. 610 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 2: And I'm saying star not as far as basketball goes. 611 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 2: I'm talking off the floor. 612 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in New York, I think that 613 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: is you know, that's the most densely populated market in sports, uh, 614 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: and it's got the most passionate fans. Like if you 615 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: are in New York from the middle of November until 616 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: the middle of March or something like that, you are, 617 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, you're grinding on watching stuff on television and 618 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: things like that. You're not in La where you're outside 619 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot other things type of lifestyle, 620 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: so that would be the market. I think you would 621 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: would have the most you know, people to talk about stuff, So. 622 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 2: I think the more likely thing. After seeing Hartenstein last 623 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 2: night and he even though the Thunder didn't play well 624 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 2: as a team, I thought Hartenstein looked pretty healthy and 625 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 2: was bouncing around, you know, he looked good. I'm not 626 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 2: as worried about the Thunder needing to get a backup 627 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 2: big before the deadline. And Jaywell has been playing as well, 628 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 2: so they got healthy there. I think that if the 629 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: Thunder did make a move, it would be for a 630 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 2: three point shooter, like a Max Christie type. I mean, 631 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 2: Trey Murphy's probably you know, shooting for the moon. He's 632 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 2: probably too good. But maybe a guy that could come 633 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 2: in and knock down some shots. Because really, I mean, 634 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,959 Speaker 2: the main issue with the Thunder right now is their 635 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 2: consistency from the three point line. 636 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. I mean I expect a move to 637 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 1: be minor, but we're going to find out six days ago, 638 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: all right.

I've heard the Breaks. 655 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: The Nets are also interested in Giannis, and I might 656 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: that could be a potential match made if Jannis wants 657 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: to play in New York, I'm sure to play with 658 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: the Knicks than the Nets. But if he just wants 659 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: to play in New York and the destination is important 660 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: to him. The Nets will have much much more to 661 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: offer the Bucks than the Knicks. I mean, I don't know. 662 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure everybody in the league wants to 663 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: win titles and wants to say that they want to 664 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: win titles. I'm sure that Giannis is going to get 665 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,919 Speaker 1: extended and with a max contract from somebody in the league. 666 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Nets would have no problem snap calling that. 667 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean to be a little bit more difficult for 668 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 1: the Knicks to do it based on some of their 669 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: salary allotment that's going on right now. 670 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 2: So we do have a lot of ripple effect from 671 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: some of these rumors. To start with, Karl Anthony Towns 672 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: apparently his feelings are reportedly hurt due to the constant 673 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 2: trade rumors of Jannis possibly going to the Knicks the Raptors, 674 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 2: it says an anonymous executive says that he wouldn't trade 675 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 2: Scottie Barnes for Yannis and would rather have Scotti for 676 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 2: the next four years. Let me pull up the Michael 677 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 2: porterge jor who, by the way, Michael Porter Junior dropped 678 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:02,919 Speaker 2: thirty eight? 679 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: Was it last night or the night before last night 680 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: at Denver? 681 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 2: Yeah? And Michael Porter Junior. Where's the nets? Let me 682 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 2: bring that up. 683 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: Sorry, Marcus, I can't find it right now. 684 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 2: But essentially they had they said that they could offer 685 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior and ten first round picks. I mean, 686 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that all ten picks would be in 687 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 2: the trade, but I'm saying that they have those two 688 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 2: deal if they wanted to, and he could end up 689 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 2: in New York like he wants to be. The Warriors 690 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 2: are ready to make an offer where Steph Curry is 691 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 2: the only untouchable player. 692 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty rich for the Warriors. What 693 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: other players in that team to people want? 694 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,439 Speaker 2: That's what Kendrick Perkins said yesterday. He said, I don't 695 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 2: care if Golden State's gonna throw the kitchen sink at Milwaukee. 696 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 2: You don't want those dishes. 697 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: That's very well put Perk. Yeah, and that I mean 698 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: Jonathan Kaminga could be okay player. Draymond Green is old 699 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: past his prime, I think still be a guy that 700 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: could help a team, h you know, play some defense 701 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: and have some championship experience and get the opposing players 702 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: fired up and all that type of stuff. 703 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 2: Here's the other one is the Sixers have zero interest 704 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: in trading VJ Edgecomb for Giannis. 705 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 1: Good good, good job Sixers. Joannis and the Sixers could 706 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: be really interesting, but I wouldn't give up a rookie 707 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: with that much potential. All Right, you have that plays 708 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: windy clip, I mean, and we'll just so people can 709 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 1: hear it and then we'll talk about it after it's finished. 710 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: Let me let me pull it up. Let me I 711 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 2: was playing that for you off my phone. Let me 712 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 2: get it. 713 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. This is from the The Hoops Insider podcast with 714 00:38:54,719 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: bandman Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorse. The Hoops Collective. Pretty good. 715 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: If you're a true NBA fan, I'm sure you probably 716 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: listen to this often. It's one of the best in 717 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: the NBA. 718 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 2: Okay, here it is. It's him and Bobby Mark's talking 719 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 2: about Well, that's not the right clip here. 720 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 11: It is, so Bobby, I actually heard the Oklahoma City 721 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 11: Thunder's name and some trade chatter, and you look at 722 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 11: this team and you say, wait a minute. This team is, 723 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 11: you know, sixty six wins or whatever they had last 724 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,319 Speaker 11: year champions. You know, when they've been healthy this year, 725 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 11: they've been unstoppable. Why would the Oklahoma City Thunder's name 726 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 11: be out there, and why would the Okahoma City Thunder's 727 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:53,479 Speaker 11: name be out there potentially looking at centers. Now, Sam 728 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 11: Presty was on this podcast, which that would be fascinating 729 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 11: with It would go on for three to seven hours. 730 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: Are you giving him the truth serum before the podcast? No? 731 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 11: But you know, in all honesty, like Sam, he can 732 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 11: talk for hours and hours and hours about not even 733 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,879 Speaker 11: his team, about stuff he does a couple of times 734 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 11: a year in front of the media. He would say, 735 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 11: your information is wrong. We don't talk about rumors in speculation. 736 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 11: So I'm talking about a rumor in speculation with Oklahoma City. 737 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 11: Maybe I don't do anything, Bobby, But. 738 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: Okay, that'll that's it. He ain't say anything there, I mean, 739 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: I didn't say anything. I mean, so, does does Oklahoma 740 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: City need a backup center if they're worried about Hartenstein's Solius? Yes, 741 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,839 Speaker 1: they would absolutely. I don't think they feel comfortable going 742 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: into the playoffs as Sam, you and I talked about 743 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: with Chet as their starting center. They like Chet more 744 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: as the four. He does play in the paint on 745 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: defense and he's very good at that. So I would 746 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: say that that's for Okay, see, yes, you're gonna need 747 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 1: some buddy. And if Hartenstein isn't very if he's not healthier, 748 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: they don't think they can depend on him for sure, 749 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: then they would need somebody at that position. I don't 750 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: see him going out and getting a really good center 751 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: uh to come in and play. 752 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,239 Speaker 2: But if they do go backup center or a guy 753 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 2: that's not gonna play quite as much, definitely not start. 754 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,280 Speaker 2: Possibly look at Jalen Smith from Chicago. He's been playing 755 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 2: really good basketball recently. 756 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: All right, yeah, I don't I don't see. I don't 757 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: see very much changing with this roster. Now. If if 758 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: the JDub injury is serious, as like a caller insinuated 759 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: earlier that they don't expect him back, then I can 760 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: see the thunder trying to make a move to get 761 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: you don't have I think JDub is too unique and 762 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: too good of a player just to say you've got 763 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: somebody to come in and fill his role. But then 764 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: I could see somebody trying to to Uh. They're gonna 765 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: need to fill that scoring they're gonna need. They're gonna 766 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: need to find somebody that can score. 767 00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 2: Doctor Shinn on the hot. 768 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 1: Seat, Doctor Shin didn't do anything to his amy. 769 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that, but his hand wasn't great even 770 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: before the hammy. 771 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we gotta get out of here for 772 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: this hour.

If you looking for something to do, 784 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 1: Michigan at Michigan State. Michigan off a big win in 785 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: the middle of the week against Nebraska, knocking the Huskers 786 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: from the ranks of the unbeaten where they're all fowed 787 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: up about basketball this year and they should be never 788 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: winning a game in the NCLA Tournament looks like that 789 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: will be the This will be the year for Nebraska 790 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: unless they are a victim of a massive upset Michigan State. 791 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: One of their losses this year to Nebraska on the 792 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: road nineteen and two verses nineteen and one. Doesn't Tom 793 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: brother play? Yes, he does, and he is very good. 794 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 1: He is very good. He's his older brother. Which is 795 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:24,919 Speaker 1: kind of weird, right, That is weird that Jeremiah Fears 796 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:31,280 Speaker 1: is already in the pros. Jeremy, but correct, Jeremy and Jeremiah. Yeah. Yeah, 797 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: only losses from Michigan State this year to Duke by 798 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: six and Nebraska by a deuce. Tom Izzo definitely has 799 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: an attitude of idg AF going on right now. I mean, 800 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: he had a former player get kicked out of the 801 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: of a game behind a bench a couple of weeks 802 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: ago that he kind of reprimanded. He told one of 803 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: his players that he his mother plays better defense than 804 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: him in a huddle, caught it. That's pretty good. So anyway, 805 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: that'll be a good game tonight. Michigan is man, They're good. 806 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 1: They got really good, two very good inside players, and 807 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: Dusty May is doing a nice job at Michigan after 808 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 1: leading Florida Atlantic to the to the final four. 809 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 2: What do you think about OU Texas? 810 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: Who? I mean again, Uh, it's oh You's capable of 811 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 1: winning games. I mean I think that they are capable 812 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: of beating Texas. It's not something that has happened under 813 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: Porter Moser. He's won in eight against Texas. The one 814 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 1: win was last year that helped him in the get 815 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 1: into the tournament at the end of the season at 816 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: the Moody Center in Austin. But they need half court offense, 817 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: execution like you get up and down the floor like 818 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: they did against Arkansas the other night. They can play 819 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 1: if you can let guys get open shots and open looks. U. 820 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,280 Speaker 1: Oh You's got players to hit it. I mean, especially guards, 821 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: I kind of. I mean we're in a little text 822 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: thread with Jim. I mean, I understand Texas has been inconsistent. 823 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: They've been up and down. Uh they do have I mean, 824 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: they don't have that many wins in the SEC. But 825 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: the wins that they've got are better than the oh 826 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: you win, which is at home against Old Miss. 827 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 2: Texas has wins over Georgia by twenty and Vandy by twenty. 828 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: I would favorite Texas their favorite by one and a half. 829 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,879 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know. 830 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 2: I like Texas for two reasons. I think that May 831 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 2: is a really good coach, and I also believe that, 832 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 2: you know, with Gee is just going to have a 833 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 2: really tough time with the big seven footer that Texas has. 834 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be it would be, uh we number 835 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: five hundred for Miller Tomorrow. 836 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,200 Speaker 2: I said in May, we're talking about Michigan Miller. 837 00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thank you, Sean Miller. Colahoma State at Utah, 838 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: do you feel a little bit better about the basketball 839 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: program at Oklahoma State? They were down on Saturday by 840 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 1: twenty before like the fans even could sit in their seats. 841 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,240 Speaker 1: It was like twenty eight to eight I think against 842 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: Iowa State, and they battled back and the game was 843 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: out of control, and they made it a thirteen point 844 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: game at the end. And I'm looking up last night 845 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: and I see Iowa State thirty, Colorado four. So Iowa 846 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 1: State put a blitz on Colorado similar to what they 847 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: did OSU. 848 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,760 Speaker 2: I mean, Utah is not any good. They should beat Utah. 849 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 2: I yes, the Utah was not very good. That's a 850 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 2: game that they should win. 851 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 1: I mean that if they would have won at TCU 852 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: the other night, you look at the Big twelve and 853 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,399 Speaker 1: do they have six teams that are in the mix 854 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: to potentially say we feel like we could win a 855 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 1: national championship if things went well. 856 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,480 Speaker 2: I mean, do you put Kansas in that list or not? 857 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm put I'm putting Kansas in that list. 858 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 2: Here's what the heck of a game where the cornerman 859 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 2: is going to be there at fog Allen aj debonsa 860 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 2: versus Darren Peterson this weekend. If Peterson plays, If Peterson plays, yes, and. 861 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,479 Speaker 1: If Peterson plays, then Kansas will have the best player 862 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: on the floor whoever they play against the rest of 863 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: the way. He's the best player in college basketball. And 864 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: to me, he's a deadlock sinch to be number one 865 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: in the in the draft. So the other guys for 866 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 1: Kansas are really starting to come on. And I know 867 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: Bill loved his team in the preseason and they struggled 868 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 1: and they didn't have the development around him. But since 869 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 1: he's been out, they've had other guys step up and 870 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 1: they just put a whipping on k State in their 871 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,919 Speaker 1: own building. They had one of the did you see 872 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,520 Speaker 1: the clip of one of the guys that was doing 873 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 1: the Wabash cannonball, the k State dance that they all 874 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,040 Speaker 1: do celebration and did it right in front of self 875 00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 1: himself is laughing. 876 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 2: That's good stuff. 877 00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,200 Speaker 1: I like that. So I think Kansas. That may be 878 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: my personal bias, but I think Kansas is in that group. 879 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: So definitely, Houston, Definitely Arizona who hasn't lost. Arizona doesn't 880 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: have a superstar, but they got like six seven dudes 881 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 1: that are good, that can play, and they're good inside. 882 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: They have everything that you would want to have on 883 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,320 Speaker 1: a college basketball team. So cat's say it's six Yeah, okay, 884 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: definitely why you got to shoot it good? Yeah, and 885 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: they have aj. 886 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 2: De Bonsa a little bit of the same stuff as 887 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 2: you said with Peterson. 888 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,439 Speaker 1: Yeah okay. So after six in the Big Twelve, which 889 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: is the best league because they've got six teams that 890 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,280 Speaker 1: can potentially win the national championship. Who else is getting 891 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: in the tournament West West Virginia. 892 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 2: Maybe now TCU can hang in there with good teams. 893 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 2: They just I mean, like you saw Kansas, they choked 894 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 2: against Kansas. They they lose to some bad teams. I 895 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 2: don't I can't really put a finger on TCU. Sometimes 896 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 2: you watch them and you're like, they're not that bad, 897 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 2: but then that's watching them and they're like they're bad. 898 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 1: It would have been a great win for Oklahoma State 899 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: to pull that off against TCU, and I think that 900 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a tough loss to bounce 901 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: back from because Oklahoma State had you know, they had 902 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: that game under control most of the way and then 903 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: just lost it in the end. So here's here's what 904 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: TCU has played so far in the league. Kansas, Arizona, 905 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: BYU Houston. Those are four of the eight and they're 906 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:37,320 Speaker 1: three and five. So TCU has a pretty good stretch 907 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: of schedule coming up here at Colorado, Kansas State at home, 908 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: i Alwa stayed at home. That would be a big 909 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: win for them. To win at Stillwater at UCF West 910 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 1: Virginia UCF is the is the next team up. 911 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,359 Speaker 2: Might not watched Team and four. 912 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't watched a whole lot of them either. 913 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 1: They're sixteen and four. They beat Kansas at home earlier 914 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: this year. They have played a fairly easy schedule. I 915 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,319 Speaker 1: mean they've they've had Arizona and Iowa State. They've got 916 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,759 Speaker 1: Tech at home tomorrow. That would be a big win 917 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: for them. At eleven o'clock. But just non conference wise, 918 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,839 Speaker 1: they set themselves up. But they beat A and M, 919 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: they played Vanderbilt that they have a chance. All of this, 920 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,839 Speaker 1: I'm trying to make my point of Oklahoma State is 921 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: not out of the tournament, but they have to turn 922 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,959 Speaker 1: it around really fast. I mean OSU has the same 923 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: win against A and M. They also beat South Florida, which, 924 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: like you said, is at the top of their league. 925 00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: But I can't really say that. Oshu's had a tough 926 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: schedule so far in the Big Twelve, two games against 927 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,840 Speaker 1: Iowa State and at Tech. The other ones are pretty manageable. 928 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 1: So for OSU, this is a big week coming up. 929 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 1: Here's what they need to do. They need to win 930 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 1: at Utah tomorrow. I think they need to play competitively 931 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: against BYU. The last time BYU played in still Water, 932 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: OSU did beat them. They go to Arizona and Arizona 933 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,319 Speaker 1: State on that little road trip. They need to They 934 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 1: need to beat Arizona State, So I. 935 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 2: Mean competitively against BYU is gonna be tough. I just 936 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 2: watched by You only lose by a point to Arizona, 937 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 2: who's the number one team in the country. 938 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: In a weird game. I watched the whole thing. I 939 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: was at Channel five HU comeback that night. It was 940 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they that comeback didn't happen until a minute 941 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:25,280 Speaker 1: forty They were down ten or more. Uh they didn't. 942 00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 1: BYU shoots the ball well, they're almost unstoppable. The bands 943 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: gets the free throw line a lot, and and he 944 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,760 Speaker 1: is up there on the short list of best players 945 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: in college basketball. They got some other good dudes, but 946 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 1: I think they're beatable. They're beatable. I'm more worried about 947 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,600 Speaker 1: what's going on with OSU just period. From a chemistry standpoint, 948 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,719 Speaker 1: I know that that Steve the Loots wants to let's 949 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: wants to play fast, so he wants tempo, and he 950 00:51:54,400 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 1: wants havoc on defense to be able to create offense 951 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 1: on the other end in transition. 952 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 2: Not a whole lot of defense going on, and still 953 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 2: not much. 954 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,720 Speaker 1: Defense going on, And oh does the half court offense 955 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: look ugly at times? That's what happened against Iowa State. 956 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,720 Speaker 1: They you're not getting any good shots, Iowa States scoring 957 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,399 Speaker 1: every time they're executing, and they're in in the half 958 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 1: court because Oklahoma State's not good enough to force turnovers 959 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 1: against that team. So it seems like maybe this OSU 960 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: team is going to beat teams that they're about the 961 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,560 Speaker 1: same as, but they're not good enough to create that 962 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 1: chaos against teams that are elite, which there are quite 963 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 1: a few in this conference. 964 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 2: I would agree with you on that. I mean, listen, 965 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 2: I mean it's tough. It's almost a crapshoot in today's 966 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,960 Speaker 2: college basketball whether the team chemistry is gonna click. Like 967 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 2: just look at Baylor, right, I mean, they're getting NBA guys, 968 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 2: they're what one in seven in conference play, right, and 969 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,879 Speaker 2: k State same thing, and that's a solid coach, right. 970 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 2: I Mean my point is a lot of these teams, 971 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 2: you know, like a Houston or an Arizona in Texas Tech. 972 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,720 Speaker 2: You know, those teams are always gonna have their guys 973 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,600 Speaker 2: and have that culture. But a lot of the middle teams, 974 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 2: like you could put OSU in there, you could put 975 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,879 Speaker 2: West Virginia or TCU or Cincinnati in there, they're gonna 976 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,719 Speaker 2: have years where they're really good, and they're gonna have 977 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,280 Speaker 2: years kind of like this, because I mean, it's just hard, 978 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 2: year in and year out to build a team chemistry, 979 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 2: and it's kind of a crapshoot. Whether the guys like 980 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,000 Speaker 2: each other and like to play with each other, and 981 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 2: sometimes I feel like OSU doesn't like to play with 982 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 2: each other on the floor. Maybe they like each other 983 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 2: off the floor. 984 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: But they're road games, Like, how do you can't I mean, 985 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,319 Speaker 1: you can't lose it home to Baylor the way they 986 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 1: lost at home as a bad loss. A loss of 987 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 1: TCU is a bad loss other than that, they've done 988 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,399 Speaker 1: about what they've been expected to do. But they've got 989 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: road games the rest of the way at Utah, winnable 990 00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: at Arizona, good luck at Arizona State, winnable at Colorado, 991 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 1: winnable at Cincinnati, winnable at UCF. Probably know, but I mean, 992 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: if I'm him, I mean like I'm having a come 993 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: to Haeseus meeting in the locker room, saying, boys, this 994 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: is right here in front of us. In these next 995 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: four or five games, we we got to put this stuff, 996 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,839 Speaker 1: these tough losses, you know, behind us. They haven't played 997 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 1: since they got blown out by Iowa State on Saturday, 998 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: and this road win at Utah is something that I 999 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 1: think that they can they can go get so I 1000 00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that. Other college hoop games this 1001 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 1: weekend we've got I'm gonna sneeze. Excuse me, all right, 1002 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: I held it off, plush. Just some good games in 1003 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,839 Speaker 1: the SEC. Texas Tech at UCF. That'll be a good 1004 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 1: game there. Texas favored by three and a half in 1005 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: that one. SMU Louisvill which you can hear right here 1006 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,080 Speaker 1: on the station, a good one. Louisville favored by eight 1007 00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:48,719 Speaker 1: and a half in that one. The Kansas BAU game 1008 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: three thirty on Saturday, KU four and a half point 1009 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 1: home favorite, which leads me to believe that Peterson's gonna 1010 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 1: play Arkansas first off there winn against Oklahoma hosting Kentucky. 1011 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,600 Speaker 1: I think can Tucky is uh to me, is very 1012 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,920 Speaker 1: disappointing this season, like Arkansas in that game, although not 1013 00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 1: a whole lot of defense being played zone He's He's not. 1014 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: It's not the type of season that was expected from him. 1015 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:21,600 Speaker 1: Player of the year type stuff. Uh. Two good games 1016 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 1: on Saturday, the Alabama Florida game that we talked about, 1017 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: that's on ABC. UH. And then Illinois and Nebraska in Lincoln. 1018 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 1: Nebraska already won at Illinois earlier this year. UH. Some 1019 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:37,480 Speaker 1: breaking news from Scham's It is not of the trade variety. 1020 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: It is that Dakola Jokic is expected to play tonight 1021 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 1: for the Nuggets against the Clippers. Therefore, the Thunder can 1022 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,640 Speaker 1: expect to see him in Denver after the Thunder put 1023 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,279 Speaker 1: them out of the playoffs in the the way they 1024 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,919 Speaker 1: did it in forcing Jokic into those turnovers in Game seven. 1025 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,320 Speaker 1: I kind of take off the first game against Oklahoma 1026 00:55:59,360 --> 00:55:59,959 Speaker 1: City this year. 1027 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 2: Good news for Oklahoma City in that aspect is Aaron 1028 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 2: Gordon's out for a while. 1029 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 1: He's out for almost a month or maybe more. 1030 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 5: So. 1031 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,400 Speaker 1: Denver will be playing shorthanded around the yokre the Joker. 1032 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 1: But Yoki is gonna be back on Sunday against Okay See. 1033 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: I think that's probably another loss. 1034 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 2: Yeah it's the Sunset uniforms. 1035 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, buckle up, man, I think it's more than the unis. 1036 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,440 Speaker 1: I think this is like the pilot coming on with it. 1037 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: I know you're kidding. I mean the pilot coming on 1038 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 1: saying we're about to fly through some turbulence. I mean, 1039 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm issuing that warning for the team here. They need 1040 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,439 Speaker 1: they need some health, healthy players back in the line. 1041 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: We did see to start to win a week. 1042 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,800 Speaker 2: We did see video of AJ Mitchell working out with 1043 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 2: Chip England. But he wasn't running around, he was just 1044 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 2: shooting with Chip England. 1045 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: Uh, And so that's good news if it was a 1046 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 1: core injury, Like, isn't it a dominal strain? Isn't it? 1047 00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,839 Speaker 2: Is it oblique? Is that what it is? 1048 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 1: That's yeah, something like that. I would call it the 1049 00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: oblique injury falls under the core. I think that's good. 1050 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,120 Speaker 1: I have not seen any video of him working out. 1051 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: So Chip needs to work with some of those other 1052 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: dudes man to keep hoisting up the bricks. 1053 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,240 Speaker 2: I saw someone last night. They need to make Isaiah 1054 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 2: Joe watch lou Dort's film shooting from three. You need 1055 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 2: to have a little bit more confidence if you're Isaiah Joe. 1056 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 2: Just pull well. 1057 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: And who issued the green light to lou Dort last 1058 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 1: night to start dribbling all over the floor? What was 1059 00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,400 Speaker 1: going on with there? That was a bad recipe. 1060 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 2: You saw more turnovers for OKC last night than I've 1061 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 2: seen in really any game in a long time. Just yeah, 1062 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 2: bad turnovers. It's just the third part of the part 1063 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 2: of the journey here. 1064 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 1: Uh. Not going to again over analyze or freak out 1065 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,040 Speaker 1: about it. I like to see them make some more 1066 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: shots like to see them play with a little I 1067 00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 1: don't know. It's tough to go through this when you're 1068 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,480 Speaker 1: asking everybody to do different things. So certainly, I think 1069 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 1: the last thing that they should be asking lou Door 1070 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,240 Speaker 1: to do is lead the team as a point guard 1071 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 1: or a penetrator to the basket. 1072 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 2: The Lakers are gonna make a move. It seems like 1073 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,919 Speaker 2: the Lakers are discussing a trade that would send Rui 1074 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 2: Hachimurra and Dalton Connect who demanded the trade in exchange 1075 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 2: for DeAndre Hunter with the Calves. 1076 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: That's that's interesting. DeAndre Hunter, as you know, he's their 1077 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 1: sixth man off the bench, comes in and provides some 1078 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 1: scoring for them. Who are the Calves gonna. 1079 00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 2: Get back Connect and Hachi Mira seems like and it's 1080 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 2: not official yet, but. 1081 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 1: It seems like that does that do anything for either way? 1082 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 2: I like DeAndre Hunter, but he's not been playing quite 1083 00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 2: as well this year for the Calves or really ever 1084 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 2: since he went to the Calves as he did before. 1085 00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 2: But the guy can shoot it. 1086 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 1: I think the Calves the injury situation for Cleveland if 1087 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 1: they get two for one. 1088 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 2: And some upside for Connect right definitely, and he hasn't won. 1089 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 2: I mean, he hasn't wanted to be there ever since 1090 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 2: the Mark Williams thing last year where they traded Dalton 1091 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 2: Connect and the trade didn't go through because Mark Williams 1092 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:15,800 Speaker 2: failed as physical. 1093 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Dalton Connect could be on that team in 1094 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: Charlotte winning all these road games. All right, let's take 1095 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 1: a break here at SETH widley Ford.

Head to okcthunder dot com, slash tune in 1116 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,680 Speaker 7: to never miss a moment. 1117 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 1: Noddle Today show on a Friday. Super Bowl is now 1118 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 1: nine days away. It's a hard game for me to 1119 01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 1: predict with conviction. Both of these quarterbacks can make mistakes. 1120 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 1: Drake May fumbles a lot, has fumbled during the postseason. 1121 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: Seem Darnold, he can throw it to the other team. 1122 01:00:55,560 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 1: The Patriots have an all Pro quarterback better on defense. 1123 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: I think that I wanted to give him credit for 1124 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 1: earlier on in the playoffs. The Seahawks are good on defense, 1125 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: definitely physical in the secondary. So I give a slight 1126 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 1: advantage to Seattle in the running game, but not big. 1127 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 1: They've got the most dangerous playmaker on the offensive side 1128 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: of the ball, Jackson Smith and Jigba, and I think 1129 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,920 Speaker 1: they've got the best running back of that group. Kind 1130 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: of see, this is potentially being a really close game. 1131 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 1: The numbers, the same, and the weather had a big 1132 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: impact on this more than anything else. But the number 1133 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,920 Speaker 1: is kind of the same as the Denver New England 1134 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 1: game when New England was four and a half point favored. 1135 01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Do I think that New England can stay within four 1136 01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 1: and a half of Seattle? I do. I do think so, 1137 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,640 Speaker 1: I just don't same. You have conviction of this one 1138 01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: team way better than the other. 1139 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,960 Speaker 2: I do not have strong conviction of what I've seen 1140 01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 2: from Seattle, especially on the defensive side of the ball 1141 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 2: before the Rams game. 1142 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 1: Right. 1143 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 2: Obviously, they got burned a little bit during the Rams game, 1144 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 2: but in clutch situations came up big, and Sam Darnold 1145 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 2: had maybe the best game of his career, and Smith 1146 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 2: and Jigbu, I mean, he dominates the game from the 1147 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,120 Speaker 2: wide receiver position, which is very rare to see, especially 1148 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 2: in the NFL. But I just feel like this Patriots 1149 01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 2: team is battle tested. They've gone up against the Chargers 1150 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 2: and the Texans and the Broncos, who all have very 1151 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:35,000 Speaker 2: good defenses, and obviously the points and stats are skewed 1152 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 2: with the blizzard that happened in the second half against 1153 01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 2: the Broncos. I do give a slight quarterback edge to 1154 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 2: the Patriots. But I mean, I'm with you. I think 1155 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,560 Speaker 2: this is going to be a close game, which I 1156 01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:48,600 Speaker 2: kind of look at it as almost a coin flip, 1157 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 2: which makes me want to take the underdog and take 1158 01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,040 Speaker 2: the Patriots. But I'm not super excited about rooting for 1159 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,120 Speaker 2: the Patriots in a super Bowl. That's no fun. 1160 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 1: If it's ah at some point when I mean, I 1161 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,360 Speaker 1: maybe look at this in a little more critical analysis 1162 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,880 Speaker 1: next week and decide if that's a you know, a 1163 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,360 Speaker 1: game it's worth putting a financial stake in. 1164 01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:12,080 Speaker 2: But maybe this is just me, Mark, but it it 1165 01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 2: just feels like, I don't know, like the great value 1166 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 2: version of the Super Bowls. When I was growing up, 1167 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,840 Speaker 2: it seemed like the Patriots and Seahawks were playing Super 1168 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 2: Bowls every year at least good every year, and it 1169 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 2: was lo O B versus you know, Tom Brady the Goat, 1170 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,840 Speaker 2: and all the guys that were on the Patriots, Gronk 1171 01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:32,560 Speaker 2: and Edelman and you know all those guys. And it's 1172 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 2: just not that this year seems like the great value 1173 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 2: version of of those Super Bowls, which doesn't excite me 1174 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:40,919 Speaker 2: very much. 1175 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: That's fair to look at it. I mean, I wasn't 1176 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 1: super excited about it when it was when it was 1177 01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 1: even the other way around. Me mean, that was one 1178 01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 1: of the more I guess, uh surprise endings of all 1179 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 1: time in the Patriots in the Seahawks game. 1180 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 2: H Malcolm Butler. 1181 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 1: But unlikely teams. I mean like that this is and 1182 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 1: maybe that's what you don't like about it necessarily is 1183 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 1: that these teams both came from nowhere, were not considered 1184 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: to be very good. I mean, the Seahawks were a 1185 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 1: clear third choice in their division in the preseason. The 1186 01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Patriots had not done anything in a long time a 1187 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,440 Speaker 1: new head coach. I mean, if you would have if 1188 01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,680 Speaker 1: you had asked me the beginning of the year, okay, yeah, 1189 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I mean, how many team would I have 1190 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 1: had a list before the pay to get to the 1191 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 1: Patriots to go to the Super Bowl? In the AFC 1192 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 1: A bunch and I'll just go through the list. I mean, 1193 01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:39,080 Speaker 1: it would have been everyone besides Cleveland in the AFC North, 1194 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:46,080 Speaker 1: probably Texans, Jaguars in the South. I liked Denver at 1195 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. I like the Chargers the 1196 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:48,919 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. 1197 01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: For sure, the Chiefs. 1198 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 1: So it would have been you know, there would have 1199 01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:53,040 Speaker 1: been several. 1200 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,840 Speaker 2: You said it was the you know, the highest odds 1201 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,320 Speaker 2: I guess you would say of a Super Bowl ever 1202 01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 2: preseason odds. I'm saying the. 1203 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 1: Two teams combined. There have been higher seeded or there 1204 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 1: have been bigger underdogs reached the Super Bowl than these 1205 01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 1: two teams, but not the two teams combined. I got 1206 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 1: the the the Titans in uh. Was that the year 1207 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 1: of the Music City miracle against the Rams? Yes, that 1208 01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:32,640 Speaker 1: team was a bigger underdog. Okay McNair, but no, that's 1209 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 1: so I don't know. I mean, it's a it was 1210 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 1: a good year in the NFL. We had a lot 1211 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: of games that you know, kind of went down to 1212 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 1: the wire. I thought both of the games last week 1213 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,560 Speaker 1: were good. You had to you couldn't tune you know, 1214 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,080 Speaker 1: tune it out right. 1215 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:47,800 Speaker 2: Right, I mean, listen. I mean, maybe I'm wrong about this, 1216 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,320 Speaker 2: but I do feel like the Patriots offense can do 1217 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 2: a whole lot more than we've seen it do in 1218 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,560 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I mean, I watched that Seattle defense get 1219 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,480 Speaker 2: diced up, and I know that the Rams are the 1220 01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,920 Speaker 2: best offensive team in the league. In Stafford's the MVP 1221 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 2: and Puka and Adams are phenomenal. But I do feel 1222 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 2: like Drake May and Stefan Diggs and they can really 1223 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 2: run the ball to I don't know. I feel like 1224 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 2: they've not been able to show quite as much because 1225 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,920 Speaker 2: they've gone up against three top five defenses so far 1226 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 2: the Patriots have in the playoffs so far. 1227 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: That's right. I mean they have had to. I mean 1228 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 1: they've had some things go their way, but that I 1229 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 1: mean their defense is on the field when some of 1230 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,800 Speaker 1: the chaos is going on with the other team's offense. 1231 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:28,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they've at least been out there. 1232 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 2: Do you think that vrabel is going to make good 1233 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 2: on his bet or on what he said? No, what's 1234 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,160 Speaker 2: his bet? He went on busting with the boys about 1235 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 2: two years ago. I think this was after he got 1236 01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,680 Speaker 2: fired at Tennessee and said that he would cut off 1237 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 2: as you know what to win a Super Bowl. 1238 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:47,720 Speaker 1: Well, I would hope not. He would not make good 1239 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: on his bet. That's a bet. I think that was 1240 01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,800 Speaker 1: hopefully of euphemism. I think it was the Texter. We 1241 01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 1: We've talked about this a little bit. The New England 1242 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,120 Speaker 1: has the worst strength of schedule since nineteen ninety nine. 1243 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,440 Speaker 1: A right, They've beat a bunch of teams. Not the 1244 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,960 Speaker 1: case in the playoffs, so they got to play one 1245 01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 1: game here. So whether or not the schedule has been soft, 1246 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,280 Speaker 1: I think is irrelevant. When they face Seattle, it's probably 1247 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why Seattle is favored in the 1248 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,920 Speaker 1: game by more than a field goal. Uh. If you 1249 01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Luis said this to me yesterday, he is the minister 1250 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,720 Speaker 1: of Patriots propaganda. If you look at the quarterbacks, the 1251 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: list of quarterbacks that the Patriots beat this year, it 1252 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 1: is more impressive than the list of quarterbacks that Seattle 1253 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 1: had to. 1254 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 2: Play and beat, you mean throughout the year. Obviously Seattle 1255 01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 2: just beat the MVP. 1256 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: Correct and well that they beat him too, They beat 1257 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 1: him one time during the regular season. But you know again, 1258 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: and I know that you you know, Josh Allen doesn't 1259 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,320 Speaker 1: rate very high in your book. But I mean that's 1260 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,560 Speaker 1: those are good wins. Win good Win lost it to 1261 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:54,840 Speaker 1: him at home, but they did, they did face Lamar Jackson, 1262 01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 1: and just if you go up and down the list's 1263 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,080 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit better list. So I just 1264 01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't put a whole stock into that now. I mean, 1265 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 1: they won in the playoffs on the road against the 1266 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 1: Denver team that was capable of winning that game based 1267 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 1: on their defense. They persevered through the elements when it 1268 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 1: took away. I think their advantage. The Patriots had the 1269 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 1: advantage of being able to throw the ball down the 1270 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,720 Speaker 1: field a big part of their offense, their vertical passing game. 1271 01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:20,600 Speaker 1: They didn't have the ability to go to it, but 1272 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,200 Speaker 1: yet they still won. The Texans defense people were talking 1273 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 1: about as being one of the best that's been in 1274 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:31,160 Speaker 1: the NFL in the last decade. It was incredible, and 1275 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,679 Speaker 1: they were able to put points on the board against 1276 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: that defense. Now, they were given some short fields and 1277 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,519 Speaker 1: all those type of things. So maybe I'm talking myself 1278 01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 1: into the Patriots a little bit here, just to keep 1279 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:41,840 Speaker 1: it close. I mean, if I have to pick the 1280 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,120 Speaker 1: winner of the game, I'm gonna pick Seattle. But if 1281 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna give me more than a field goal, I 1282 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:53,080 Speaker 1: think that I think I'm probably interested in taking the points. 1283 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 1: That's just me. 1284 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,479 Speaker 2: Patriots d line has played well, so has the Seahawks 1285 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 2: d line at times. 1286 01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:02,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're both good. 1287 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 2: Both teams can run the ball, I mean yeah, I 1288 01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,120 Speaker 2: mean it's pretty darn close to me. So I'm gonna 1289 01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:12,639 Speaker 2: lean the underdog. I'm gonna go to the Patriots. Probably, Yeah, 1290 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 2: what do you think about Bad Bunny? 1291 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 1: Uh? I I like Kendrick Lamar quite a bit better 1292 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,679 Speaker 1: last year, right than Bad Bunny. But I will watch 1293 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: I have to. I mean, hey, I can realize that 1294 01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: not everything is tailored to my desires, right, I'm with me. 1295 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,800 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's gonna be a show. They're obviously they 1296 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,439 Speaker 2: they realize that the majority of viewers are not Spanish 1297 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 2: speaking viewers, and so they're they're gonna make it entertaining 1298 01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 2: for us. 1299 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:46,640 Speaker 1: You would hope that's fine, I mean super Bowl at halftime. 1300 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, that interested in in seeing the 1301 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,120 Speaker 1: show other than the entertainment value of it. I mean, 1302 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: it's not again, I'm not. I don't know enough about 1303 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 1: Bad Bunny other than his commercials. Was snooped to tell 1304 01:09:58,880 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 1: you any. 1305 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,920 Speaker 2: Bad Bunny was great and happy. Gilmour too. I thought 1306 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:02,719 Speaker 2: he was pretty funny. 1307 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,840 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I mean they could put the food fighters 1308 01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:10,600 Speaker 1: out there, we could go with I mean Rihanna, I 1309 01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,200 Speaker 1: think that would be good. We enjoyed that, right, I mean, 1310 01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 1: Rihanna was one of the best. It's good. 1311 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:15,439 Speaker 2: He's great. 1312 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,880 Speaker 1: So well, we'll rate Bad Money next Monday.

This is a 1331 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 1: mind blower. Joe Flacco is not going to be in 1332 01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl next Thursday night. That means that the Browns, 1333 01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: who have started more quarterbacks than anyone this century in 1334 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, it seems like have two Pro Bowl quarterbacks 1335 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 1: off the roster this year in the AFC. 1336 01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,679 Speaker 2: First Pro Bowl of Joe Flacco's elite eighteen year career. 1337 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,760 Speaker 1: He had a good season this year. Joe Flacco threw 1338 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field in replacement for 1339 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:39,519 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I don't know. I don't know if the 1340 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,920 Speaker 1: Browns would have kept him in there and not started 1341 01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. I got to think that Joe Flacco is 1342 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:49,080 Speaker 1: a better professional passer than shdur Sanders that they may have. Actually, 1343 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Somebody had to win that division. If 1344 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:53,320 Speaker 1: you told the Browns at the beginning of the year 1345 01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 1: that all they had to do is get to nine, 1346 01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:00,559 Speaker 1: I don't know. You also have been that I have 1347 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 1: a bar to get to. 1348 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:06,879 Speaker 2: Also have CD Lamb and Jared Goff added uh CD's 1349 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,880 Speaker 2: replacing Smith and Jigba and Goff is replacing Sam Darnold. 1350 01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:15,679 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to go to the Pro Bowl. This isn't 1351 01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,280 Speaker 1: gonna count. Is it gonna count? For Flacco? When you're 1352 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:23,120 Speaker 1: like the sixth alternate? I mean like, how many people 1353 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,559 Speaker 1: are gonna be able to brag that they were a 1354 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl quarterback for the AFC. Drake May is a 1355 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,360 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl quarterback for the AFC. He is not gonna 1356 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 1: play in the game, so therefore we have replacements like 1357 01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:35,120 Speaker 1: Sear Sanders and Joe Flacco, and over the course of 1358 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,960 Speaker 1: his career, Flacco he needs, I mean, he needs a 1359 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 1: participation medal or something like that because he's never been 1360 01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 1: to one. But is he gonna call himself a Pro 1361 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,759 Speaker 1: Bowler if he's an alternate? No? 1362 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 2: No, I mean. And by the way, in the AFC, 1363 01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:51,439 Speaker 2: it was Josh Allen who is not doing it. You 1364 01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,760 Speaker 2: also had reserves Justin Herbert. 1365 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:54,160 Speaker 1: Who won't be there. 1366 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,439 Speaker 2: Drake May won't be there, And then that's how you 1367 01:12:56,479 --> 01:13:01,600 Speaker 2: get down to Shador and Joe Flacco, the quarterbacks in 1368 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:08,160 Speaker 2: the NFC. Matt Stafford, I guess he's going to be there, 1369 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,519 Speaker 2: I don't know. And then Sam Darnold is not going 1370 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,000 Speaker 2: to be there, and that's why Jared Goff is going 1371 01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:13,520 Speaker 2: to be there also, Dak Prescott. 1372 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:21,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Hm. I saw some video and pictures of Jackson 1373 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Dart doing a little fishing like can coons, some deep 1374 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 1: sea fishing with a lovely young woman, so. 1375 01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,880 Speaker 2: I saw I sent this to you. During the break, 1376 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders met with Todd Monkin for the first time, 1377 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 2: and Todd Mankins said, we tried to draft your ass. 1378 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 2: We'll have to talk about that later off camera. 1379 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 1: Uh, that's good. Emmanuel Acho, expressing his outrage over the 1380 01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:55,040 Speaker 1: Todd mankinhire did not like that for Shudur Sanders. I 1381 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 1: know that guy just all about seeing hearing himself. Don't 1382 01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,240 Speaker 1: fall in line with a lot of his takes. 1383 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:03,719 Speaker 2: My Eagles. 1384 01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 1: Sean Manion, do you have any thoughts on that. 1385 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,320 Speaker 2: I guess the negative is he has never called plays 1386 01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 2: in the past, but the positive is, I mean, I'm 1387 01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:16,880 Speaker 2: verly highly thought of. Matt Lafleur. Tree did a nice 1388 01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,800 Speaker 2: job with Malik Willis and Jordan Love as the quarterbacks 1389 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,200 Speaker 2: coach in Green Bay. They are bringing in the past 1390 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 2: game coordinator from the Tampa Bay Bucks where Baker is. 1391 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 2: I'm not I mean, I'm not super excited, but I'm 1392 01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,280 Speaker 2: not super upset. I think it's kind of a wait 1393 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 2: and see, We'll see. 1394 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 1: That's like giving him the keys to the circus h 1395 01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,400 Speaker 1: and all the cages aren't quite secure. You know what? 1396 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you could go in there and there's a 1397 01:14:40,160 --> 01:14:42,720 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of exotic animals. Things they could 1398 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,559 Speaker 1: go wrong. Yeah, ones, they could kill you. I don't 1399 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,560 Speaker 1: know that's a good analogy. But yeah, he's gonna have 1400 01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:50,479 Speaker 1: to He's gonna have to work and manage that. I mean, 1401 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:51,960 Speaker 1: I think gonn have to manage the relationship with the 1402 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 1: head coach or manage the relationship with the quarterback. I 1403 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 1: do think that that there will be some kind of 1404 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: deal crafted for AJ Brown which will probably help everyone involved, 1405 01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:04,599 Speaker 1: hopefully in that situation. 1406 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 2: So Manion can come in and get along with AJ 1407 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:09,640 Speaker 2: Brown and maybe try to get them the ball a 1408 01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,160 Speaker 2: little bit more, and maybe I'll like Aj again. But 1409 01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 2: the last time that the Eagles hired a quarterbacks coach 1410 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,200 Speaker 2: from Green Bay, can you tell me. 1411 01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: No, who wasn't Andy Reid? Okay, that was I should 1412 01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:34,120 Speaker 1: have got that one. Good call. The got a text 1413 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 1: here from David It says Tom Friend of The Sports 1414 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,639 Speaker 1: Business Journal is reporting that the Thunder television partner, FanDuel 1415 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: Sports Network's parent company could be heading for liquidation as 1416 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:48,720 Speaker 1: early as next week. If you're a Thunder basketball fan, 1417 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:50,360 Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna have to worry about those 1418 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,240 Speaker 1: games being televised. They'll reach a deal to do it 1419 01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:56,879 Speaker 1: with someone else. He mentions Victory Plus that is basically 1420 01:15:56,960 --> 01:16:02,160 Speaker 1: the old Fox Sports Southwest. They're carrying Stars, hockey and 1421 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,920 Speaker 1: other stuff that goes on. I watched a Texas high 1422 01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:09,439 Speaker 1: school football game earlier this year on Victory Plus. It 1423 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,960 Speaker 1: also is affecting the Saint Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals have 1424 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 1: been on they were on the duel, and right now 1425 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 1: it looks like they are a free agent. Don't know 1426 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,800 Speaker 1: if we'll do a deal with Major League Baseball or 1427 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:26,120 Speaker 1: there'll be somebody else in the market. Perfect poor time 1428 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,000 Speaker 1: to be doing a television contract if you're the Saint 1429 01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals baseball team in a complete teardown mode and rebuild. 1430 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 1: But so uh it might. There might be a little 1431 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,400 Speaker 1: bit different way in which you view Thunder games coming 1432 01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: up here pretty quickly. Slightly different. Now. 1433 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 2: I love watching Chris Fish, Chris Fisher and Michael Cage 1434 01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:53,440 Speaker 2: and Gallo and everybody, Paris Laws and all of them, 1435 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,360 Speaker 2: But we all know that Jim has a beef a 1436 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,719 Speaker 2: little bit, and I had to giggle last night whenever 1437 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,400 Speaker 2: Jim texted our group to was complaining, and I said, 1438 01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,320 Speaker 2: you know, are you not watching it on Prime? I 1439 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:08,040 Speaker 2: just had this imaginary, like this imagery of Jim being 1440 01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 2: the only guy, the only guy not watching him Prime, 1441 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:12,160 Speaker 2: just punishing himself. 1442 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,360 Speaker 1: It would yeah, I I I figured that there's gonna 1443 01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 1: be something in every game that the Ultimate finds, uh, 1444 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: find some fault with when it comes to broadcast. So yeah, 1445 01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 1: I would have thought that he would have chosen the alternative. 1446 01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:29,480 Speaker 1: The alternative. 1447 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,679 Speaker 2: Last night, I did find it interesting the Master of Panic, 1448 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 2: Stan Van Gundy was saying that Shay is getting a 1449 01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 2: bad whistle, said that he should be going to the 1450 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:43,000 Speaker 2: line more, that they are not calling obvious fouls on Shay. 1451 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 2: Gildes Alexander not just talking about this game, he was 1452 01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 2: making a point about the entire season that he's what 1453 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 2: is it now, third or fourth as far as free 1454 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,000 Speaker 2: throw attempts go, and he said that he should be 1455 01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:54,800 Speaker 2: getting to the line more than anybody as far as 1456 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:56,960 Speaker 2: how skilled he is offensively. 1457 01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's fair. I don't know, I mean, 1458 01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 1: I think there's too much being made of it that 1459 01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:03,680 Speaker 1: the way that he was going to the free throw 1460 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 1: line and a lot of times drawn fowls I don't 1461 01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:09,040 Speaker 1: think that he is necessarily trying to draw as many 1462 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,599 Speaker 1: fouls as he used to, and I think it's become 1463 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:16,120 Speaker 1: he's become he's so good at getting a shot like 1464 01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,719 Speaker 1: that mid range jumper that the step back shots eighteen 1465 01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:24,320 Speaker 1: nineteen feet. I mean, it's almost automatic, so people can't 1466 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:27,800 Speaker 1: he's not getting as many shots at the rim as 1467 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,680 Speaker 1: he used to because he can create separation. Is that 1468 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:32,840 Speaker 1: fair as being a part of it. 1469 01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,599 Speaker 2: I think that's fair. And I also feel like teams 1470 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,880 Speaker 2: are just saying we're gonna foul him and they can't 1471 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,680 Speaker 2: call him all. I mean, look at Dante DiVincenzo last night, 1472 01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 2: and I don't blame him. That's what the Thunder does 1473 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:44,439 Speaker 2: defensibly at times. 1474 01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,200 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Yeah, he's. 1475 01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:50,080 Speaker 2: Playing really physical defense on Shay, and it's hurt Shay 1476 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,160 Speaker 2: a little bit that he hasn't had heart and Stein 1477 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 2: and you know that's missing his screener and not able 1478 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 2: to get to some of those spots, and so he's 1479 01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,800 Speaker 2: distributing a little bit more. But I don't know. I mean, listen, 1480 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 2: I mean, what what did ant Man say last night? 1481 01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 2: Our game plan was to stop Shay and put three 1482 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:10,599 Speaker 2: guys on him. Then Fan out to the other guys 1483 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 2: force the ball out of his hands and he still 1484 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:12,639 Speaker 2: had thirty. 1485 01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that was a good night. 1486 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,679 Speaker 2: So I did think that was a little bit telling 1487 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,640 Speaker 2: that ant Man was essentially like, we're not scared of 1488 01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 2: anyone else except for Shay, especially with AJ and dubbout. 1489 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's kind of trolling the rest of the thunder roster. 1490 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,519 Speaker 1: That's fine, that's fine. I mean, I don't know. Ant 1491 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 1: Man last year said he was the best player in 1492 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,519 Speaker 1: the in the series against the Thunder two. That's true, 1493 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,400 Speaker 1: so he probably had to come back with a little 1494 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,120 Speaker 1: bit of some type of respect. 1495 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,120 Speaker 2: We talked about this during the break. Any thoughts on 1496 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 2: oh you getting the big time running back? 1497 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,200 Speaker 1: That's a headline that we've seen before. Like I said, 1498 01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 1: I thought yesterday was interesting to see the clips of 1499 01:19:55,240 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 1: Jade and at balling out at the Senior Bowl. Yeah, 1500 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: it'll be a while before he's there in uniform. I 1501 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 1: like the running back to the gut Man. I I 1502 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: liked Blaylock and I like X. I think those guys 1503 01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:11,120 Speaker 1: are both pretty good. 1504 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 2: This guy chose No U over Texas and Texas A 1505 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,280 Speaker 2: and m Okay. 1506 01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:20,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know much about him. From Houston class 1507 01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:21,800 Speaker 1: of twenty eight. So the Marcolm Morris's done a great 1508 01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,200 Speaker 1: job of recruiting the guys that are considered to be 1509 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:27,960 Speaker 1: the best out there. When it comes to four trucks, 1510 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,760 Speaker 1: Seth Widley is the best mal Marker seventy two. They've 1511 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,400 Speaker 1: got selection, they also have price on their side and 1512 01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:35,960 Speaker 1: they're willing to make great deals here towards the end 1513 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,599 Speaker 1: of the month to make sure that they hit their numbers. 1514 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,960 Speaker 1: The snow snowed them down. Slowed that the snow slowed 1515 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 1: them down. I got to slow down to say that 1516 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,320 Speaker 1: the snow slowed them down on sales. So they got 1517 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 1: to make up for it here in the final two 1518 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:50,040 Speaker 1: days of January Seth wildly Ford mal Markers seventy two 1519 01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:51,880 Speaker 1: the ultimate coming up next day Tune
