1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: Well, we're in the midst of game.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 3: Number four in Orlando. Game four in Milwaukee is later on.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 3: We have the NBA already admitting fault from a game

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: earlier today. Oh and we got to the bottom of

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: who called Shader Sanders just to be a jerk. We've

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 3: got all of those things ready to ride for you

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: tonight on Fox Sports Sunday Mark withard ephrom Salam. So

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: glad you're with us, whatever you're doing and wherever you

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 3: may be as the weekend comes to a close.

11
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: But I sort of think about this moment.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: With my guy Eve from I think about this the

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: way all of us played basketball on the playground when

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: we were kids, when we were by ourselves.

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: You remember that you'd grab the ball.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: You'd have a bunch of pretend ghost defenders on the floor.

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: You were better than all of them. You would dribble

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: around and you.

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: Would pretend that you were coming down to the last

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: shot and you had to make it. You had to

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: make it or the game was over. And you let

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: fly and it hits the back iron and you'd.

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Go hold on.

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: He was fouled, and then therefore, of course moved the

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: gold posts a little bit. And I'd like to refer

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: back to what happened before we left our show yesterday afternoon,

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: when you said to me the Lakers could not win

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: this series if they did not win today. And they

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: did not win today, do you still feel like they

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: are now done or do.

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: You still see a light at the end of the tunnel. Well,

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: I think they can't win the series that was. You know,

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: I'm not just talking when I'm giving these these takes

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 4: or these proclamations. No, I don't think that they can

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: come back from a three to one deficit against a

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 4: team as young than them, more athletic than them.

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: I thought they needed to split in Minnesota to have

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: a chance.

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 5: They did not.

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: Minnesota's already shown that they can win on the Lakers floor.

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: So them coming back on Wednesday and feeling confident enough

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: to win, now, probably Lakers.

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: Win that game.

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: Probably, But coming down the stretch, it's just a situation

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: where there's some things that are being done or that

47
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: are happening that I don't think they can fix. Starting

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 4: with you know, coaching, I'm not going to let him

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 4: off the hook. I let him off the hook after

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: Game one. But I'm not going to let him off

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: the hook. Now, you can't play You're a forty year

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: old no matter what he says, the entire game and

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: have him score zero points in the fourth quarter when

54
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: it matters the most. You have a nine point league

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: going into the fourth quarter. You gotta sit him for

56
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 4: the first three minutes of the basketball game of the

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. You have to with a nine point league,

58
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: you have to Luca's gotta be able to weather the

59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 4: storm until he comes back in.

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 5: I agree with that. And so it's just a.

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: Little coaching things like that, like you would say, oh, well,

62
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: that's that's easy enough. Why did he do that? And

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: so now I'm he's a rookie coach. He's never coached

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: at this level before and in this environment. So when

65
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 4: you're making mistakes like that, it makes me scratch my

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: head and it's like that can't happen. You have to

67
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: know that as much basketball and as much of a

68
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: savant JJ Reddick is in terms of basketball and then

69
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: playoff series, and you have to know that no matter

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: what Lebron says, you have to be like, no, no, no,

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: I need you to take these three We're gonna slow

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: it down, all right, We're gonna try to stop them,

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: get a stop, and we're gonna walk the ball up.

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: But you got to give me these three so I

75
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: can have you at least a little bit fresher coming

76
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: down the stretch. You got to be able to have

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: that conversation. And if you don't have the conversation, then

78
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: you're not coaching, right, And that's what I saw.

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: Lebron's played forty six minutes. As you said, Luca did

80
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: too too much.

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 5: Can't do it guy coming off illness.

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: Him a question though, My question is, and look, every

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: every one of these series has its own personality. But

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: if you do look around the league, what is the

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: umbrella topic that's being asked and talked about, and that

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: is physicality, yes, and how that relates to officiating and

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: all of those things. And what you're seeing is, for instance,

88
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: if you want to get in a Vegas angle at

89
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: this the over under for NBA basketball games during the

90
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: regular season was fluctuated, usually around two hundred and twenty,

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: maybe two hundred and thirty, hell two hundred and forty.

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: For some games when those teams don't play any defense,

93
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: go out there, you get to the playoffs, and all

94
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: of a sudden we're down to two hundred two to five.

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: This game today.

96
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: Between the Wolves and the Lakers went to add it

97
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: up two hundred and twenty nine in these playoffs. This

98
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: is an incredibly high scoring game. My concern, and it

99
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: is what you and I have talked about at length

100
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: over the last few weeks since the trade deadline. You're

101
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: gonna get thirty eight from Luca with five threes. You're

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: gonna get twenty seven, twelve and eight from Lebron James.

103
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: You're gonna get five threes from Austin Reeves. And then

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: when you say, well did anybody else step up? Oh,

105
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: you got twenty three points and five threes from Ruey Hachimura.

106
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: You as a team shot over forty percent from beyond the.

107
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: Arc and you lost.

108
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 5: Not good.

109
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: This is a problem, serious problem. And this again the

110
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: larger picture I get.

111
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: So I'm not this is not a cherry pick or

112
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: a gravy train. But that doesn't happen in my opinion,

113
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: if Anthony Davis is on the team. That's been my

114
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: thing the whole time. They are more prolific offensively, they

115
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: are less prolific defensively, and I had concerns on how

116
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: that would play in the postseason.

117
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you make some good points, but I think and

118
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 4: you may be right, but the fact that you have

119
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: Luca All, you know, all NBA guy for the last

120
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: five years, first team and Lebron James, an all time great,

121
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: you gotta figure it out.

122
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, gotta figure it out.

123
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's that's like, well, if they had the

124
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 4: no no, no, no, no, no, you have two possible

125
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 4: all time greats, one and they're not even in his

126
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: prime yet getting there and one still holding on and

127
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: beating by the time, with more playoff experience than the

128
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: entire Minnesota's team.

129
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: And so.

130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: It's it's that's inexcusable. It's inexcusable. And they played extremely

131
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: hard and they played extremely physical the whole game. As

132
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: a coach, you got to be able to manage your team.

133
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: That's the point. What was the coach's name for the

134
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: Lakers when uh Kobe blew out his achilles He came

135
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 4: from the Suns and the Rockets. Steven d'antonies. You gotta

136
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: remember the year Kobe Bryant blue his achilles out. He

137
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: was leading in the League of minutes. How one of

138
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: the oldest players in the league. How how do you

139
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: allow that to happen? Well, it was Kobe. He's going no, no, no, no,

140
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: And man, you gotta sit down. Yep, you gotta sit down.

141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: You have to be able to be that guy. Now

142
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: to that point, you can't take away the blame of

143
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: turning the ball over.

144
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: Again. We just saw this about a month ago.

145
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, so to be an all time great what we

146
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: do know is all time greats, in my opinion, best

147
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 4: players in the league, in my opinion, don't make that

148
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: mistake at that time.

149
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: I hear you.

150
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: That's just what I'm just gonna no doubt, no doubt.

151
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: And there have been a few of those this year.

152
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: You oh yeah, that Bulls game where a good lord,

153
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: you know, right, the nine they where the Bulls scored

154
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: nine points in the last six seconds.

155
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: Of the game or whatever it was. There have been

156
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: a few of those.

157
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: This one just came obviously an incredibly high profile time.

158
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: Now I could zoom out tell you.

159
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: That with how much Lebron handles the ball, I don't

160
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: think three turnovers in a game is a greedious no.

161
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 5: No, no, no.

162
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: When they happened, yes, yes, yes, that's that.

163
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: Lebron had one turnover last last game. Do you remember

164
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: when it happened?

165
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: Not off the top of my head, but a bit

166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: you do.

167
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: They had got to stop in the fourth quarter, they

168
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 4: were coming down.

169
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 5: They threw the ball on Lebron.

170
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: He literally caught the ball and handed it to the defender.

171
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 4: In the fourth quarter, they came down and scored his

172
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: one turnover. Doesn't matter the number, it's when it happens.

173
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: If that happens in the first quarter, care well, and okay.

174
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: I'll tell you something too about bad turnovers. I never

175
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: really thought about it this way, like great players have

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: the ball in their hands a lot, and so their

177
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: turnover numbers can be high and and and and all

178
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: of that. But when they get sloppy or really kind

179
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: of wonky, maybe that does actually mean fatigue.

180
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 5: Oh it is, That's exactly what it is.

181
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they like this really kind of got my mind

182
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: going on this About four weeks ago. Uh, Steph Curry

183
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: had one of those nights where it was just like, dude,

184
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: what are you doing? Like what is this? What are

185
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 3: these decisions? This is so sloppy and he's prone to

186
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: a lot of turnovers. Anyway, you know that that that

187
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: team does a lot of this, that and the other,

188
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: flying around in different directions, so they're prone to the turnover.

189
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: They always have been. But he had an especially.

190
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: Bad night, and H and Steve Kerr went to his

191
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: locker after the game and said, you're you're taking tomorrow

192
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: night off? Yeah, And Steph said, I don't want to

193
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: take tomorrow night off. Now that's nice. I'm glad you

194
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: don't want to take tomorrow night off. You're taking tomorrow

195
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: night off because I can tell you need an emotional

196
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: mental reset.

197
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: And it worked. The Warriors actually won the game.

198
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: Without him against Giannis and and it launched them into

199
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: a pretty good finish to the year and obviously a

200
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: playoff berth and so. And we'll get to them and

201
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: what they did without Jimmy Butler last night a little

202
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: bit later. But I wonder, you make an interesting point

203
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 3: to talk about forty six minutes for a forty year old.

204
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: And I get it, the Lakers played with that attitude

205
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: of we have to win tonight and so your best

206
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: are expected to do that. But you wonder, does that

207
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: turnover happen if he had gotten a little rest at

208
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: the start of the fourth quarter.

209
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: We'll never know. But it's it's a fair take.

210
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 5: I don't think it.

211
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: I I don't know if it would have happened or not,

212
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 4: but I know his legs would have been fresher. He

213
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 4: wouldn't have been just standing on the perimeter watching Luca

214
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: get double teamed at half court and turn the ball over. Yep,

215
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: he's gonna keep walking right into that one.

216
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: Huh.

217
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: Look, I'm not a coach, right, but I can see right.

218
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: I know basketball enough to where I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay,

219
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: well let's adjust to that. How do we adjust to it?

220
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: We just keep doing it over and over again. That's

221
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: a problem for me. It's a problem for me for

222
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 4: someone with a basketball IQ as high as as as

223
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: as JJ Redick and and and Luca and Lebron. I'm

224
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: not gonna keep First of all, I would stop sending

225
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: the screen number one, if they're not if they're just

226
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: going to double off the screen, I wouldn't send the

227
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 4: screen the moment I stepped over half court. You don't

228
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: have anywhere to retreat on the double. We saw that

229
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: several times in a row, and so as I'm watching

230
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: as a fan, I'm like, oh, okay, well we're gonna

231
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: adjust to that. Oh no, same thing. Humh well it

232
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: turned it over again. I know they're not. Oh well, no,

233
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: they did it again. That's the problem I'm having. Luca

234
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: can handle the ball well enough to not need a

235
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 4: screen at half court. It's easy to double someone at

236
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 4: half court, impossible, to double them at the three point line.

237
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 4: In the middle of the court impossible. That's the problem

238
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 4: I'm having with the adjustments that aren't being made. Yeah,

239
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: like you said, it's my team. I'm hyper critical and

240
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: I know basketball.

241
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine, that's fair, And we're in a moment,

242
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: and listen, the series is not over yet. But I

243
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: know you also think they're not going to be able

244
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 3: to come back, and.

245
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 5: So they're not young enough.

246
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: Well, I wonder if it does go that way, and

247
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 3: you're right, and obviously the stats suggest the Lakers are

248
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: highly unlikely to come back in this series.

249
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,479
Speaker 2: So if they don't, what's.

250
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: The overall takeaway of the season and the moment they're in.

251
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: Lebron is forty, Luca is here. What's the takeaway? I wonder,

252
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: and I'd love to ask you that next we're in

253
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,360

00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: With me from some on, Mark Willard. Okay, a few things.

272
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: First off, Boston up by five in Orlando at half.

273
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: Steve will have more on that coming up in less

274
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: than ten minutes. Boston trying to take a three to

275
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: one lead. That's what the Knicks did earlier today. More

276
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: on that in a freaking second, because they stole one

277
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: they didn't deserve. The Tea Wolves took a three to

278
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: one lead on the Lakers, and we're talking about that

279
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: right now. And he from, I wonder if you'll remember

280
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: what did I call the Tea Wolves all year long?

281
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: What did I say about them? Do you remember.

282
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: What did you say the Minnesota Timberwolves.

283
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, in all of the NBA, all of the NBA.

284
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: Are the they should be better than the team. He yes, okay,

285
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: And and they're good. Forty nine wins is good. The

286
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: sixth seed is good. But dog, I look at that

287
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: roster and I know, you know, this is one of

288
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: those things. Lakers are the big three seed and the

289
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: Minnesota is the sixth seed one game apart. We know

290
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: the Western Conference. Yeah, the whole thing is just a

291
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: big jumble, do you know what? Like they're all very.

292
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 5: Good, but literally all two seeds and no doubt seed, no.

293
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: Doubt except for I'd actually even argue that Houston. I mean,

294
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: Memphis is Memphis, but but Houston, Houston's phenomenal. But they're

295
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: so young, they're so young that it's just like I

296
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,239
Speaker 3: don't think you're you're quite ready.

297
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: To advance through all this thing. But yes, they're all.

298
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 3: Good teams, so I don't consider this some sort of

299
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: a of a huge upset to to this point.

300
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: But when I watched that.

301
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: Roster, Ephraim, Dude, they've got answers for everything. They've got

302
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: answers everything that you need in a roster, from height

303
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 3: to strength, to experience to a star player to shooting

304
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: to a defensive stopper.

305
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Dude, they've got everything.

306
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 4: Well, they spent some time building out this roster, and

307
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: a lot of people thought when they got rid of Cat,

308
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 4: and you know it would bringing getting rid of Cat

309
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: and bringing in Julius Randall was a huge move because

310
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 4: as you could see now, he wasn't with him for

311
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 4: the playoffs last year. He was hurt for New York.

312
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 4: But you can see his presence, his physical presence, his

313
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 4: defensive presence is something that he's like a Tasmanian devil. Now,

314
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: sometimes he can get little bit out of control, yep,

315
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 4: like most left handed players, or if you're playing at

316
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: the park, you know, if there's a guy at the

317
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: park who got dreads, watch out, he might bust your lip.

318
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: But he's one of those guys and he's not going

319
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: to back down. He's not gonna do any of that.

320
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: He's gonna continue to play hard. This is a big

321
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 4: moment for him, Like this is a big moment for

322
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: him moving forward in his career. And not to mention

323
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: this was a team that gave up on him, who

324
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: drafted him uh and then replaced him.

325
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: So he's got a lot to play for.

326
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: They have a super duperstar and Anthony Edward w too

327
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: got better from last year.

328
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: Uh, he can get to his mid range shot.

329
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 4: He's shooting, you know, shot more threes and made more

330
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 4: threes than Steph actually did.

331
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 5: This year.

332
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: So this is a young man who's on the cusp

333
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: of becoming great, whether he wants to be the face

334
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 4: of the NBA or not. He's playing with the level

335
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: of of confidence that you need if you're gonna if

336
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna lead a super if you're gonna lead the

337
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 4: team as a superstar. And so yeah, they have shooting

338
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: off the bench, they have they have long wing defenders UH,

339
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 4: and they have a guy who can alter shots in

340
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: the middle uh and Rudy Gobert. So they've been shout

341
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 4: out to dal Dimpson, the staff and the GMS and

342
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 4: all of them over there who have put this team together.

343
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 4: They put it together to make a deep playoff run.

344
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: I just didn't want it to be at our expense.

345
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean it was not a perfect matchup

346
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: draw by any stretch for either of these teams.

347
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 5: And it doesn't matter, right, and it doesn't matter.

348
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: We still got to show up and show out and

349
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 4: come to play, and we haven't done that in three games.

350
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 2: All right.

351
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 3: So, going into the NBA Playoffs, there were five teams that,

352
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: according to the data, the numbers, the gambling markets, that

353
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 3: were the five teams that had the best shot to actually.

354
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: Win it all. You start with the three teams whose

355
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: record screams it at.

356
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 3: You, the Thunder, the Celtics, and the Cavs, and then

357
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: you add in two more teams because of their experience,

358
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 3: pedigree and buckets of rings that they have, which is

359
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 3: basically Lebron and Steph Curry. And so that's what Vegas

360
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: told us, Lakers Warriors, along with Calves, Celtics, Thunder, the

361
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: Champion is probably going to be one of those teams,

362
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: and it very well probably still is. But to be

363
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 3: one of those teams, and if the Lakers are a

364
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: first round out with a whole story of where we've

365
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 3: been this year.

366
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: What's your takeaway on the state of everything.

367
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: I think what I thought at the beginning, which was

368
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: I think the West is loaded. I think the route

369
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 4: in the East is far less stressful. It just seems

370
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: you look at the Celtics run through the East last year.

371
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: I mean, anyone coming out of the East, I don't

372
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: know if they'll be battle tested. Now, if this Eastern

373
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 4: Conference Final comes down to Cleveland and Boston, then we'll,

374
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: you know, it'll it'll be intense. But up until then,

375
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: it clearly you know, Boston, no matter how hard Orlando's

376
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 4: fighting and fighting in this game and trying to stay relevant.

377
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 5: And all of that.

378
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 4: Right now, yeah, exactly, it's the Boston is a superior team.

379
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: They can go twelve deep, and all twelve of those

380
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: guys can play, and they have championship experience, and and

381
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: and and they're riding out in Cleveland. Got the defensive

382
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 4: player of the year, you got size, you got shooting,

383
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 4: you got two backcourt mates who can burn down any defense.

384
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 4: So those are the two prom here there now in

385
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 4: the East. I mean, excuse me, the West. Hey, you

386
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 4: know before this game I would have been like, yeah,

387
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: you know the Warriors and the Lakers. I love what

388
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 4: the Warriors are doing. It shows you down the stretch

389
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 4: that experience matters. Shot making matters, team and ball movement matters.

390
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 4: Draymond Green Green is a playing tremendous in this series

391
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: in terms of defensively. His numbers won't show it, but

392
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: he is the lynch pin that has them going. And

393
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 4: Steph is just being Steph boy. When he started to

394
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: heat up and in that second half, you was like,

395
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 4: uh oh, you already knew what time it was. And

396
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: they don't have an answer for him. Sway too much

397
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: ball movement for them to even understand. They haven't even

398
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: seen that enough. As young as that team is, they

399
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 4: haven't even seen that level of ball movement fighting over

400
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: two three, four screens in one possession, right, and then

401
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 4: when you you stay with Steph back door, you know

402
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 4: GP two dunk yep. And so they have an answer.

403
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: They're well coach, they have an answer for everything you

404
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: want to do defensively, and I think it's given.

405
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 5: Houston fits right now.

406
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: I do wonder the state and again we're getting ahead

407
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: of ourselves. But if it's a first round out and

408
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: Lebron heads for a forty first birthday. What is the

409
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: state of of everything after the trade and whatnot with

410
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: the Lakers.

411
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 2: I'd love to get into that. We can do that

412
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: coming up next.

413
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: You were mentioning the greatness of some of the players

414
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: who stand out in the playoffs, and when you do that,

415
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 3: it makes me think of Steve de Sager. That's what

416
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: it does. It makes me think of Steve de Sager.

417
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, Steve? Yeah?

418
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 5: And how to eat to you?

419
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 7: And as you mentioned, it's possible the Lakers could be

420
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 7: out in the first round. That would end year seven

421
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 7: of Lebron with the Lakers, and it would mean in

422
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 7: those seven seasons with LA out in the first round

423
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 7: three times and missed the playoffs entirely two other times,

424
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 7: finishing under five hundred both of those seasons one title,

425
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 7: and once a couple of years ago got to the

426
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 7: West Finals and got swept. Those are the postseason marks.

427
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 7: That's the resume of his seventh You don't.

428
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 5: Get a statue for that.

429
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: Nope, that is a note. Do you get a mural

430
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: or like, no, we're moving on.

431
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 5: We're moving on.

432
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 7: But it's only three games to one Minnesota after today's

433
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 7: win over the Lakers one, sixteen to one thirteen. Minnesota

434
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 7: trailed by seven with five minutes to go. Anthony Edwards

Speaker 7: triple double, seven turnovers as well, and yes, the referees

442
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: afterwards admitted a foul should have been called on New

443
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 7: York at the end on Detroit's three point attempt. Sure

444
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 7: they'll sleep well after that. Boston is leading sixty two

445
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 7: fifty eight at Orlando's they approach mid third quarter, Celtics

00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 7: for Jason Tatum. Boston from three point range is five

448
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 7: of twenty one, but they're the Celtics, so they'll keep

449
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 7: shooting it. As for Orlando, Pollo Banco with twenty points

450

00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 7: The Giants are nineteen and ten after a run on

469
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 7: the bottom of the ninth got him a win over

470
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 7: Texas three to two. Tampa Bay one at San Diego

471
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 7: four to two, and the Dodgers beat Pittsburgh nine to two.

472
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 7: But LA starter Tyler Glasnow, who left his previous start

473
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 7: due to leg cramps, left after one inning today due

474
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 7: to a sore shoulder. He'd had back in elbow problems

475
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 7: last year.

476
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, great stuff, Steve.

477
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this today, but just

478
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 3: as somebody who used to coach.

479
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: Little league old the winner for San francisc Yes.

480
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a major league game end on

481
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: a little league home run?

482
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 7: It was actually referred to in one headline I saw

483
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 7: as a little league home run?

484
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 2: Little league home run? Yeah, it was amazing.

485
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: A tapper to the to the left of the mound,

486
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 3: lead off first pitch at the bottom of the ninth

487
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: of a two to two game, tapper to the left

488
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 3: side of the mound.

489
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: Pitcher bare hands, it hucks it into right field.

490
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: It heads to a spot that allows the runner to

491
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 3: not just go to second, but try to go to third.

492
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: Throw the third flies right by the third baseman, heads

493
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: down the left field line, go home, young man.

494
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 7: Ball game, and at one point the batter was just

495
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 7: coasting into second.

496
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 3: Wait totally yeah, he didn't know. He didn't even know

497
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: he's going to go to third. He was like coasting

498
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: in a second. He looked up at the third base

499
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 3: coaches like get your ass down here, and so he

500
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: kept running and then that forced another throw that that

501
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: one went wild as well, And we've all watched that.

502
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 3: It's just usually Saturday morning in a crowd of about

503
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: twelve people, some parents that you know, and maybe some

504
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 3: nachos from the snack stand.

505
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 7: The Pittsburgh Pirates had a similar type thing today where

506
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: two wild throws on the same play and the Dodgers

507
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 7: came around and immediately Joe Davis at the microphone said,

508
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 7: you know, it is Little League Day here at the stadium.

509
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 7: We have thousands of how appropriate that a run scores that,

510
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 7: But the Giants are just ahead of the Padres and

511
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 7: Dodgers so far. That's how good the start has been

512
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 7: for this team.

513
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: Well, well, we've talked about that National League West.

514
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 3: It is absolutely crazy, and it doesn't seem like it's

515
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: slowing down a whole heck of a lot, even those

516
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: those fourth place Diamondbacks have a fifteen to thirteen records.

517
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 7: No, this way, if the Diamondbacks had a winning percentage

518
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 7: of six hundred, they would still be in fourth place.

519
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

520
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: There was a moment like a week ago, Steve, you

521
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: may have noticed, they literally had the four best records

522
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 3: in baseball. The Diamondbacks were tied for the fourth best

523
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: record in base king.

524
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 7: Speaking of the Diamondbacks in the late game last night,

525
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 7: one of their players, a U Hennio Suarez, hit four

526
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 7: home runs in a game. Just to put that in

527
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 7: context in baseball history, this is about one hundred and

528
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 7: fifty years of Major League baseball. It is more rare

529
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 7: to pitch a perfect game than to have a guy

530
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 7: hit four home runs in a game. It's happened less

531
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 7: than twenty times in the one hundred and fifty plus years.

532
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: Damn.

533
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 5: And the guy in four.

534
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 7: Straight at bats hit it out each time, and the

535
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 7: fourth time was the tying homer to lead off the

536
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 7: bottom of the ninth, and then they lost in the tenth.

537
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: Anyway, they lost. They lost the game.

538
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, lost the game and not supposed to lose when Yeah,

539
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: that's like, that's that's like having somebody go for sixty

540
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: points in the NBA.

541
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, and lose.

542
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 7: Might happened last night, had literally happened once in the

543
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 7: modern era of baseball that you have.

544
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: A guy that hits four home runs and still won.

545
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: I love it. Thank you, Steve. We'll talk to you

546
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: hear in a bit.

547
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 3: No, I want to get to this Pistons next thing too,

548
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: But like, what is your answer to that? Like, if

549
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers do lose either Game five or Game six,

550
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: where does this leave them going?

551
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 4: I think it's time to move on into the new

552
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: direction that they've already started.

553
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: So you know what does that mean?

554
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 4: Well, it's time to focus on the pieces you need

555
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: to put around Luca if obviously it's going to be

556
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: his team moving forward. So we need two athletic bigs

557
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 4: to come in. We need some real, live perimeter shooters,

558
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: and we need well, you know, you got Austin Reeves,

559
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 4: so you do have another guard who can create their

560
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: own shot. But we need some some some big time shooters.

561
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: I like Rory, but you know it's time to get

562
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 4: another dominant you know, forward, to add to to that

563
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: minus Lebron jabs.

564
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 5: Are you okay?

565
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 2: So Lebron's got a player option for next year fifty.

566
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna take it, right, So, I.

567
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 2: Mean, you're not suggesting, are you trying.

568
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 5: To trade him or no trade class? Right?

569
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: So what do you? I mean? But he may approve

570
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: it if that's.

571
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, with doubt it send him to where he

572
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 5: wants to go. What does he want to go?

573
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: What if he wants to stay?

574
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm saying if they're like, hey, Golden State

575
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 4: wants you, he'd go to play. He'd go play in

576
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 4: Golden State maybe.

577
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

578
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: That's even brought up a number of times before over

579
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: the last year, and he's not wanted to.

580
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: But we'll take Jimmy, take Jimmy and uh.

581
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: But what if things go well for the Warriors, they

582
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 3: may not want to change, that's true. I mean, I

583
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: don't know where that's going to go.

584
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 5: I don't know. And this is all speculatory.

585
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 3: Of course, we're we're early. We we probably can discuss

586
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: this more.

587
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 4: But what I will say is if you can't, just

588
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 4: it's time to move on into the next era of

589
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 4: Laker basketball. This was the first step this year at

590
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 4: the trade deadline to do that. We obviously everybody said it.

591
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: Lebron said it, the owners have said it. Rob Polinka

592
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: said it is gonna be Luca's team. So how do

593
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: we best maximize Luca and his abilities. That needs to

594
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 4: be on the forefront. Interesting, Well, and that's what I think.

595
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 4: That sounds like a hell of an off season. Well yeah,

596
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: I mean, but you get guys wanting to come play

597
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: with Luca.

598
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: For sure, I means the Lakers, you're not gonna have

599
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: a hard time getting guys to want to come play.

600
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, some guys didn't want to play with Lebron.

601
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: Like, remember, Kawhi had an opportunity to come play with Lebron,

602
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: Paul George had an opportunity to come play with Lebron.

603
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 5: There was some some some some.

604
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: Kawhi different, Yeah, he is different man.

605
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 5: But he chose the Clippers over the Lakers.

606
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, I mean they had a weird one

607
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: last night.

608
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I'm telling these games in the West, and

609
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: I said that, I said that that series is going

610
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: to be a bloodbed.

611
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: You know you did.

612
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 3: And I thought the Clippers would win last night and

613
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: be in a three to one situation, and they came

614
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: damn close.

615
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: But they're not.

616
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 4: And so it's going seven and it's gonna be bloody

617
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 4: and ugly, and and they're gonna be tired going into

618
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 4: the next series. And they make off the court the

619
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 4: first two games, either one of these teams.

620
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: That may be because they'll get Okay, see yeah and

621
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: Okac is already they hang out. They are in Cabo.

622
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: Let's go to four Seasons Hawaii and just just relax

623
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 4: for a couple of days.

624
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's you know, they've they've done their work.

Speaker 3: inform you on that next and then we will freak

635
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: out about it. At least I will, because I got

636
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: something to say. There is such an obvious change that

637
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: is needed with with the way these games are ending.

638
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up next with e from Salam.

639
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: I'm Mark Willard and this is Fox Sports Radio.

640
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

641
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: My kids always make fun of me Ephraim, the smart

642
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 3: whility from Salam, because I the phrase will come out

643
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: of my mouth a lot.

644
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: What are we doing? Like? What are we doing right now?

645
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 3: Whether it's watching a game or whether it's you know,

646
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 3: watching the way they clean their room, I mean.

647
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: Like, whatever, what are we doing?

648
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: And my goodness, I would like to use that phrase

649
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: right now in these Fox Sports Radio studios.

650
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 2: What are we doing? At the end of NBA games?

651
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 3: An egregious either foul or missed foul is there for

652
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 3: the world to see. The technology is everywhere. Replay has

653
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: been welcomed into the league.

654
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 2: It is used constantly.

655
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: But if somebody uses their challenge with three minutes left

656
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 3: to go and they happen to be wrong, and then

657
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 3: you get to the last two seconds of a game

658
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 3: and something horrific happens, then they've got no recourse.

659
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

660
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 3: And then do you not understand, NBA that all you're

661
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: doing is grabbing the pistons' faces and rubbing their noses

662
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: in it As people literally drive home from the arena

663
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 3: get back to their homes to see that the NBA

664
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 3: is like, yeah, sorry, mess that one up. You totally

665
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 3: should have won, didn't, But that's okay. You're just down

666
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: three to one in your season's over now. But just

667
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: so you know as you go to bed tonight, it's

668
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: supposed to be two to two.

669
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 4: Sorry, didn't coach bigger Staff have a rent? He sure

670
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: did earlier this year. Yes, respect fact.

671
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 5: It's this is what it is.

672
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

673
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 5: This is what it is.

674
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: Uh. I don't have a dog in this fight. And

675
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: I was frustrated.

676
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 5: The ref literally was standing right there, standing right there,

677
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 5: and it happened.

678
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: My gosh, and it was hard away? Right? Was it?

679
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: Hard way? Hard away?

680
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 4: Was?

681
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: He flew?

682
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 3: He flew into the stands. He was so clearly body

683
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: shoved by Josh Hart. Literally in the final second of

684
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 3: the game, down by a point, Mad scrambled for the ball,

685
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 3: he grabs it, he shoots a three pump fake, He's

686
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 3: whacked into the stands by Josh Hart. No call, mix

687
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 3: up three to one. The home crowd is stunned. The

688
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: replay is completely conclusive. Jamie Baker Staff's going nuts, and

689
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: that's it. Everybody just goes home. But by the time

690
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: they get there, and the ending is like.

691
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, we messed that up.

692
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 5: We know, well, what are we doing?

693
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 4: What I would do is before the next game, I

694
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 4: would put however much to do is actually no time

695
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 4: left on the clock, so we'll probably point one second

696
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: left on the clock, and I would send him to

697
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 4: the free throw line to shoot three free throw.

698
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 5: Really yep, and.

699
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: Do what give them a three to nothing lead to

700
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 2: start the next game.

701
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying that would I would play. I would

702
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 4: replay the ending of the game.

703
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, obviously for a million reasons, I

704
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: don't think we're ever going to get to something like that.

705
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 2: I guess we'll be good game.

706
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he makes two free throws. The games over.

707
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: Well, I to me, there's such an easier fix.

708
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 3: Why doesn't the NBA do exactly what the NFL does

709
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 3: and in the.

710
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: Final two minutes they got it.

711
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: You don't need a challenge like come on on something

712
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: like that.

713
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 5: It has to be you want to get it right right.

714
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 2: They did it last night with the Nuggets and Clippers.

715
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 5: Yep.

716
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: They called it a dunk in real time and then

717
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: they stopped everything. And I know it takes a little

718
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: bit of the majesty away from the moment. But let's

719
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: see if Aaron Gordon's fingers were actually off the ball.

720
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: I still know smart people who think that that Maybe

721
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: they weren't. But the replay was conclusive enough from one

722
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 3: of the angles in New York that the ball was

723
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 3: out of his hands and threw the hoop. But it

724
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: was a lengthy replay and Nuggets win. I don't know, man,

725
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: that seems easy enough to me. Why are we not

726
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: doing this?

727
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 5: I don't know.

728
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 4: And that's something out Adam Silver he's gonna have to address.

729
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 4: And they got to fix that. That was terrible. That

730
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 4: was terrible. He has a point. He has a point.

731
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 4: Now his his rant doesn't seem like he was just

732
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 4: in his feelings. Now it's making sense.

733
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: They are similar to what Fizzdale back in the days

734
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: of the Memphis Grizzlies said, Yeah, they're not gonna rook us,

735
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: and and that's what's happening.

736
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: That's what's happening to the Detroit Pistons. Yep, they got rooked.

737
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: And now Karl Anthony Towns was incredible at the end

738
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 3: of that game.

739
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 2: So I give them credit for the lead that they earned.

740
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: But the bottom line is, with no time left on

741
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: the clock and down by one. Tim Hardaway Junior should

742
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 3: be at the line shooting three and I got a

743
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 3: lot of money says he's going to hit at least

744
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: two of them, at least and and the Pistons should

745
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 3: be even to to heading back to New York.

746
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 2: But they're not. They're Yeah, just said, So that's that.

747
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: That's pretty brutal, all right.

748
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 3: It was also brutal when should do her Sanders got

749
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 3: pranked yesterday.

750
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 2: More on that coming up.

751
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

752
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: Radio Boston's shooting it well enough for the moment.

753
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: About ten minutes left to go in this game, and

754
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: the Celtics have opened up a seven point lead, so

755
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: we will keep you up to date on that.

756
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: And there is another one still ahead tonight.

757
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 3: And actually we should get to this because it is

758
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of a similar situation to what we've

759
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: talked about a lot tonight with the Lakers. If the

760
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 3: Bucks lose this basketball game tonight on their home floor

761
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 3: against the Indiana Pacers, go down three to one, go

762
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: ahead and reboot the annual Hey, is Yanni's gonna get

763
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 3: pissed and want to leave talk?

764
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 2: And and where does he go?

765
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 3: I think tonight has a lot to say about Giannis's

766
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: future in Milwaukee, so we'll get to all of that

767

773
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 3: to talk out the Shador Sanders situation at length yesterday,

774
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 3: but today there are further developments.

775
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 2: And for those of you not aware.

776
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 3: Shadure at one point, prior to being selected in the

777
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: fifth round by the Browns, received a prank phone call

778
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 3: from someone pretending to be an NFL general manager telling

779
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 3: me he was about to get picked. And you may think, oh, well, hey,

780
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: you know, haha, stuff like that happens. Shador had set

781
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 3: up a phone for the NFL only, so only the

782
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: NFL teams had this number, which meant kind of like

783
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: all those horror films from years ago, the call was

784
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 3: coming from inside the house somehow, someway, somebody had an

785
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 3: issue and we knew this as if yesterday.

786
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 2: Well quickly today we found out where this came from.

787
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 5: Got to the bottom of a real quick, right.

788
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: Real damn fast, didn't we.

789
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 3: Defensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons, Jeff Obrick, former NFL

790
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: player himself, apparently allowed the data to be available on

791
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 3: his iPad and maybe he had.

792
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: Family sharing turned on.

793
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 3: His son got the number, and his son was the

794
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 3: one who pulled the prank. Before we get into what

795
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: has happened now since then, Between the two guys, what's

796
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 3: your thought on all this?

797
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 2: What stands out to you?

798
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 5: The lack of I don't know in what world that

799
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 5: seemed cool? H You know what I mean?

800
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know if it's to be funny to

801
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 4: go viral, obviously because they released the footage of him

802
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 4: doing it. Like in today's generation, and I don't want

803
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: to sound like an old fogie or old her, But

804
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 4: in today's generation, the consequence doesn't outweigh the spotlight.

805
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 5: Yep.

806
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: And that's one of these cases. The consequence doesn't outweigh

807
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 4: the spotlight. I'm willing to do something that can get

808
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 4: me to go viral, to get the notoriety from it,

809
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 4: no matter what the consequences are. Now Subsequently, jail and

810
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 4: prison is full of people like that right now at

811
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 4: a high clip. Not saying this reached the level of that.

812
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 4: But we don't know what the consequence for this young

813
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 4: man is. That's but let's just say he's obviously a

814
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 4: college kid. He goes to Old Miss and someone on

815
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 4: the campus didn't like what he did and it was

816
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 4: a chadur fan and decided okay, and decided to retaliate

817
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 4: on that. Right, But he doesn't care because you know,

818
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 4: and that apology he's sent and all that. Nah, we're

819
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 4: not doing that right. Oh, he's a kid, he's young,

820
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 4: he's to you know, first of all, shame on your dad.

821
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 4: Shame on the dad for allowing that information to just

822
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 4: be out. Oh it's on my iPad. That might have

823
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 4: meant no, no, no, no, that's a day to breach. And

824
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 4: that is on Jeff faultbro. Yes, yes, that's a crime.

825
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 4: And so the consequence has to be severe or it'll

826
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 4: keep happening. And the NFL has to understand that the

827
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 4: consequence for the father and son has to be severe.

828
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 4: What that is, I'm not sure, but that's a moment.

829
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 5: In time that.

830
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 4: You know, could have been i mean devastating. The lack

831
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 4: of human decency for a laugh or for to go

832
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 4: viral is astounding, and social media is is you know,

833
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 4: they reward that. Now I got a million, I got

834
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 4: twenty million views. Yeah, but you're going to jail. But

835
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 4: I got twenty million, I got one hundred thousand new followers.

836
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 4: But you're going to jail, right, So I don't know

837
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 4: the consequence is gonna be. I thought it was in

838
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 4: poor taste. I thought that was a moment that he

839
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 4: probably thought was gonna be fun and cool and shout

840
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 4: out to Shador and his family. Yep, for all those

841
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 4: people who were hypercritical of this young man and his

842
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 4: ego and all of that, they got a chance to

843
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 4: see some grace.

844
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 5: They got a chance to see some grace.

845
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 2: Brother, That's the number one thing that I thought of.

846
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: I go.

847
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: We've sat here now, but I don't know how many

848
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 3: months listening to people talk who've never met the kid,

849
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: never talk about how Shador Sanders is immature, is all

850
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 3: about himself, he is a poor leader. We've heard all

851
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 3: of these things, and I don't know what happened in

852
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 3: these meetings with the New York Giants or whatever. Maybe

853
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 3: they were poor meetings okay, fine, poor meetings. All I

854
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 3: know is what I've watched this week. What I watched

855
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 3: was use somebody's name be.

856
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 2: The full centerpiece of three full.

857
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 3: Days of highly watched American sports content. He was the

858
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: number one name to the point where analysts are screaming

859
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 3: at each other on the TV just based on what

860
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 3: they say about it. Yep, okay. And and what did

861
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: he do during that sum that time? He largely stayed silent.

862
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 3: And when he didn't stay silent, it was to say

863
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 3: it's fine, there's a plan. And then he was selected,

864
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 3: and what did he do? He danced, He danced, and

865
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 3: he jumped into a swimming pool. He didn't go, he

866
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 3: didn't go.

867
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 2: I don't know.

868
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want to go to Cleveland.

869
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to be a fifth round pick. No,

870
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: he danced, he danced, and he jumped in the pool.

871
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 3: And then what did he do today? He took a

872
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 3: own call from someone he owes nothing to but Olbrick's

873
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 3: kid called Shador today to apologize. Schador took the call

874
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: and stayed calm and relaxed through the entire process. That's it,

875
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,959
Speaker 3: that's all, That's all I know. That's all I've seen

876
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 3: from Shadoor Sanders this week. And and for those who

877
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: want to go back to you, remember the discussion we

878
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,959
Speaker 3: started yesterday, back to the idea of being quarterback eel,

879
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 3: I thought he looked pretty quarterback Bachiel this week.

880
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 2: That's what he looked like to me.

881
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 3: Somebody who stayed calm under pressure, Somebody who didn't let

882
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 3: the noise and the criticism get to him, somebody who

883
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 3: was the bigger person.

884
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 2: That's what I saw.

885
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 4: I believe Stua Sanders this year will be the starting

886
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 4: quarterback for the Pittsburgh I mean, excuse me, the Cleveland Browns.

887
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: Maybe for the Pittsburgh Steelers too.

888
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 4: Might not be wrong, but I think he's going to

889
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 4: win the starting job.

890
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean he probably should.

891
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 4: Out of everybody on the roster, the young player, the

892
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 4: young quarterbacks.

893
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 5: He's Dylan Gabrals not better than.

894
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: No it was. And if you want to talk about

895
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 2: upside and all of.

896
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: That, Kenny Pickett, I don't. I don't know what Shador

897
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: Sanders is, but but we know what he's not. I

898
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 3: know he's not them well, no, but I know what

899
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett is. I don't know what Dylan Gabriel is

900
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 3: either I know what my eyes tell me that he

901
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 3: doesn't look as talented as Shador Sanders to me. But

902
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 3: I got a whole hoole stand by, let me tell

903
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 3: you about everything everybody thinks they know about all these

904
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 3: college players. But but anyway, Yeah, I'm with you. He

905
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 3: probably should be the starting quarterback of the Browns.

906
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 4: And that's all right. He's gonna make a little bit

907
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 4: of money. He's already got money. That's not the point.

908
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 4: He's trying to start his career. And guess what, he

909
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 4: doesn't have to wait five years to get re upped.

910
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: He does it.

911
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 4: He doesn't have to wait five years. Right, it's not

912
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 4: a first round draft pick.

913
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,399
Speaker 2: So he got to wait three He got way three years,

914
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 2: got way three?

915
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 4: That way three years. Yeah, go play. Everything is in

916
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 4: front of him. Sure, he's gonna have to compete to

917
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 4: get the job, which I think I see. Yesterday I

918
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 4: gave you the story of my my draft uh my

919
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 4: draft experience in training camp yep, and getting the opportunity

920
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 4: all you want if you're an athlete, and this is

921
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 4: the God's honest truth, if you're an athlete, and I'm

922
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 4: talking about a real life high level athlete. All you

923
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 4: want is an opportunity to compete. You don't want a

924
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 4: job given to you, and you don't want a job

925
00:50:55,080 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 4: taken from you. All you want is an opportunity to

926
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 4: compete for that job. Because anybody who's worth assault or

927
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 4: worth anything as an athlete feels like no matter who

928
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 4: you put me up against, I will beat. That's the

929
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 4: true essence of a professional athlete. I got my thirteen

930
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 4: year career started that way as a seventh round draft pick,

931
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 4: and I approach life everything I do with that same mentality.

932
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 4: Just give me an opportunity, I'll do the rest. That's

933
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 4: the God's un of truth. And I think this young

934
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 4: man is just his demeanor and how he's been handling

935
00:51:55,120 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 4: this situation, which could be traumatic. I think he's class personified.

936
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this.

937
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 3: You know a lot of times we struggle to find

938
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 3: the silver linings in things, or we struggle to sort

939
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 3: of remind ourselves that when bad things happened, that maybe

940
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 3: it did happen for a reason. Maybe a year from now,

941
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 3: two years from now, we're going to look back at

942
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 3: this and go, Wow, that's actually I thank goodness that

943
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 3: thing happened. I was upset at the time, but thank goodness,

944
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 3: this one. I don't even think we need to struggle

945
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 3: if I'm already told you this yesterday, like the weekend

946
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 3: that he has just experienced, Shadoor Sanders has never been

947
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 3: a more sympathetic figure than he.

948
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: Is right now.

949
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 3: Right now, he has more people now suddenly rooting for

950
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 3: the supposed brash, arrogant, entitled kid.

951
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 2: He has more. I would argue more people rooting for

952
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 2: him now.

953
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 5: And Goofball just helped that situation.

954
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 4: Totally, totally guarantee he's had one of the top three

955
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 4: best selling jerseys in the NFL to there you go.

956
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 3: We We went from you know, brash and prime time

957
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 3: and entire old to fifth round pick who got pranked

958
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 3: and at least a healthy portion of the NFL audience

959
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 3: feel sorry for.

960
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 5: Him as they should. I mean, and yes I do.

961
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 5: It was awful, I mean classless, totally classless.

962
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 8: Totally, so that's probably gonna say, no matter how graceful

963
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 8: he should do in his family, where that kid should

964
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 8: not be let off the hook agreed, should not be

965
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 8: let off the hooks and that's real.

966
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more. By the way, before we had

967
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 3: too far off of football. I know you didn't mean

968
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 3: to say should do or would be the starting quarterback

969
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 3: for the Steelers, but.

970
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 2: Maybe he actually should be man or could be Who

971
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 2: the hell is?

972
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 3: And what happens now if Aaron Rodgers says no, and

973
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 3: quite frankly, what happens if he says yes. We'll get

974
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 3: to all of that coming up next. That's eat from

00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,160

00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 3: I do want to talk for a minute or two

993
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 3: about the idea of Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, but

994
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 3: my I just got blown.

995
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: I got distracted here.

996
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 3: You started off the show by talking about how JJ

997
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 3: Reddick played Lebron James for the entire second half. I

998
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 3: didn't realize from all five players, yes that he played

999
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 3: in the second half, played the entire ridiculous second half.

1000
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 3: There were no substitute. I didn't notice. I did not notice.

1001
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 3: He becomes the first coach in the current era of

1002
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 3: the NBA to play five players only for an entire

1003
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 3: half of basketball.

1004
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 2: This has never happened before.

1005
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 3: Lebron, Luca, Austin Reeves, Rory Hatchamora, Dorian Finney Smith.

1006
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 2: There was your lineup for the second half? No subs?

1007
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 2: Who did you see? Uh? Do you see Magic Johnson's tweet?

1008
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 2: You know?

1009
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 5: Look, man, look I don't Did you see it? Yeah?

1010
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: Man?

1011
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 5: Basketball players don't basketball.

1012
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 2: Well except for Magic. On Twitter is a different experience.

1013
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes He's like, the Lakers played the Wolves today and

1014
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 3: unfortunately the Wolves scored more points. He says stuff like

1015
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 3: that on Twitter. It's not my fault. I'm just telling

1016
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 3: you what he says sometimes. But this one was clearly

1017
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 3: a message that he was trying to pass along without

1018
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 3: being too firm in his criticism of the coach. But

1019
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 3: he said, I don't know if it's smart to play

1020
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 3: Lebron and Luca the whole second half when you're coming

1021
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 3: off of only one day of rest.

1022
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 5: That's ridiculous.

1023
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and Lebron, as you pointed out, scored

1024
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:56,720
Speaker 3: no points.

1025
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 4: No, he's wiped no legs the first four minutes. He's

1026
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 4: sitting on the bench. We got a nine point lead.

1027
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to figure it out. We'll have to

1028
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 4: figure it out. But I need you to get some rest.

1029
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 4: So you take these four which is, you know, twenty minutes,

1030
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 4: twenty five minutes real time, get your legs under you,

1031
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 4: and I need you to push, need you to push

1032
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 4: your last eleven.

1033
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 5: That's what it is.

1034
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 3: Well, the fact that they were up nine or ten

1035
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 3: points to start the fourth is what actually makes this

1036
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 3: idea even more crazy.

1037
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 5: When I saw it, I was like, this isn't right.

1038
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 3: If you're down two games to one, My God, and

1039
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 3: you're down ten points to start the fourth.

1040
00:57:58,800 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 5: That's the difference.

1041
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 3: Now we have a conversation because as a coach, you're saying, look,

1042
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 3: this is our season.

1043
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 2: Okay, my five.

1044
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 3: Guys, go do your thing like we got nothing to

1045
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 3: lose because we are right now set.

1046
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 2: Up to lose, and and then the season's over. Essentially,

1047
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 2: it does too.

1048
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 3: But you're but you're up, You're up by ten, you're

1049
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 3: up by You've got this quite frankly, I mean.

1050
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: At ten point lead's not huge, but you've got.

1051
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 3: Yes, you've you Yes, you are the aggressor in this game,

1052
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 3: and and and so to you know what I mean,

1053
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 3: Like the baseball analogy is is you know the way

1054
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 3: people manage a game seven, You put your starter out

1055
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,479
Speaker 3: there in the bullpen they just pitched two days ago.

1056
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: You go to him whatnot.

1057
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 3: But that's not if you're up five to one in

1058
00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 3: the seventh, Like you don't, dude, he he did the

1059
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 3: inemergency break glass well up by double digits.

1060
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a bad, bad coaching.

1061
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 3: I don't understand that at all. I did not realize.

1062
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 3: I knew the Lebron part. I did not realize he

1063
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 3: did not substitute in the second.

1064
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 4: Half I was watched, I'm like, that's bananas. That's been

1065
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 4: put Vanderbilt in. Let him Chase Edwards around cup where

1066
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 4: let's somebody got sit Lebron down. Got to sit him down.

1067
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 4: Well for the first four minutes, I sit Lebron. When

1068
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 4: Lebron comes in, I sit Lucal for two minutes, then

1069
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 4: I let him finish out together. That would be my rotation.

1070
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what I would do as a coach.

1071
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 4: Gave Vincent and I've only coached Gay Vincent's been why

1072
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 4: why can't he play?

1073
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 3: Gabe Vincent has been Actually, when you think about this season,

1074
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say the Lakers go as Gabe

1075
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 3: Vincent does, but there's there are certain role players that

1076
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,959
Speaker 3: when they play well, it really it takes a team

1077
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,280
Speaker 3: to a different level. And Gabe is one of those.

1078
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 3: Like he is their sharp shooter off of the bench,

1079
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 3: and if he's hitting a few threes a game, with

1080
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 3: everything else that the Lakers throw at you, they become.

1081
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Very hard to beat. He scored zero and he did

1082
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 2: not play in the second half.

1083
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 5: That coach mistakes.

1084
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 4: That's Shockington coats, shocking coach makes.

1085
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 3: And you've got four players who played over forty minutes

1086
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: in this game, And so where does that leave you

1087
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: emotionally and physically. You do get two nights off now,

1088
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 3: but you fly back to La tonight, I would assume,

1089
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 3: probably take a day off tomorrow, do a shoot around

1090
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Game five is on Wednesday. But where does

1091
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 3: the leave their heads?

1092
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 4: Well, I mean their heads can only be one place.

1093
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 4: It can only be one place.

1094
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 2: Well, but I like, I got I know, and that's

1095
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 2: a lot.

1096
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 3: I mean, Minnesota is the very very good, and I

1097
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 3: know that I know what you mean.

1098
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 2: That's where your head is out going forward.

1099
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 3: But if you watched any of this game and if

1100
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 3: you look at the way the numbers stack up, this one,

1101
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 3: to me is the big red flag because if you

1102
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 3: do that out coached, Yeah, if you do that to

1103
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 3: your players.

1104
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 5: Coach, where you're going to lose the trust.

1105
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 3: You're leaving certain guys out of the second half, entirely

1106
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 3: rotation guys, you're wearing your other five out.

1107
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 2: And then you get the output.

1108
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 3: Like I said, they shot over forty percent from three

1109
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 3: and got huge numbers from four of their players and

1110
01:01:54,160 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 3: still lost. That is incredibly discouraging. Yes, ooh, this is

1111
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 3: a surprising.

1112
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Outcome.

1113
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 5: Sorry, losing the trust?

1114
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know who will never ever ever lose our trust?

1115
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1116
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: I do, Yeah, I do. It's Steve de Seger.

1117
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 7: Hey, Steve, Yeah, Hello, gentlemen, the game you're talking about.

1118
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 7: Minnesota now up three games to one in the NBA Playoffs,

1119
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 7: beating the Lakers one sixteen, one thirteen, forty three points

1120
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 7: for Anthony Edwards. Minnesota trailed by seven with five minutes left.

1121
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 7: Lebron James plus minus stat just for the fourth quarter

1122
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 7: today a minus thirteen against the Timberwolves, one of the

1123
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 7: worst plus minus fourth quarters of his long playoff career.

1124
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 7: Lebron did have another double double. How many double doubles

1125
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 7: in his postseason career one hundred and forty four now god,

1126
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 7: that passes Wilt Chamberlain for third most in league history.

1127
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 7: Tim Duncan's number one, Magic Johnson number two to Lebron

1128
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 7: James number three in career double doubles in the postseason.

1129
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 7: He had twenty seven points, twelve rebounds, eight assists as well.

1130
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 7: By the way, but he was scoreless in the fourth quarter,

1131
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 7: and in fact, the Wolves have outscored the Lakers in

1132
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 7: fourth quarters every game this series, and by a total

1133
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 7: of one zh five sixty nine in the fourth so

1134
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 7: far in this series. Luka Donzich clearly feeling better as

1135
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 7: he played through illness the previous game, but he did

1136
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 7: go one of six shooting in the fourth quarter. And

1137
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 7: you're right about the minutes and how they were handed out.

1138
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 7: Five Lakers that suited up never saw the court, and

1139
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 7: three or four other Lakers that did get on the

1140
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 7: court were barely on the court. And that includes starting

1141
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 7: center Jackson Hayes who got four minutes today, Dorian Finney

1142
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 7: Smith forty one minutes off the bench, starter Ruy Hachimura

1143
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 7: forty one minutes, and yeah, forty six minutes out of

1144
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 7: forty eight for both Lebron and Luka Dancics. Lakers down

1145
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 7: three games to one. Nicks won at Detroit by a point.

1146
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 7: Nicks lead three games to one after beating the Pistons

1147
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 7: ninety four to ninety three. Kay Cunningham and Detroit a

1148
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 7: triple double and seven turnovers, Jalen Brunson and Victory thirty

1149
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 7: two points, eleven assists, and we have just over a

1150
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 7: minute to go in the Celtics playoff game at Orlando.

1151
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 7: Boston up one oh one, ninety four, despite twenty nine

1152
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 7: points from Polo Bencaro. He's now eleven of thirty shooting

1153
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 7: from the floor. Jason Tatum of the Celtics thirty three points,

1154
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 7: twenty one for Jalen Brown. Celtics trying to go up

1155
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 7: three games to one in this first rounder. As soon

1156
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 7: as this ends, Indiana at Milwaukee begins with the Pacers

1157
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 7: trying to go up three games to one. In the

1158
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 7: NHL Playoffs, the Capitals have just won, including late empty netters.

1159
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 7: Five two is the final at Montreal. Carolina was a

1160
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 7: five to two winner. At New Jersey, Saint Louis beat

1161
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 7: Winnipeg five to one, and the late game LA at

1162
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 7: Edmonton is about to start. Sunday night baseball there in

1163
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 7: the top of the tenth at Wrigley Field, Phillies and

1164
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 7: Cubs tied. Earlier, the Yankee swept a doubleheader against Toronto

1165
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 7: eleven to two. In the opener, Max Freed now five

1166
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 7: and oh got that win, and in the nightcap five

1167
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 7: to one, Yankees Aaron Judge hit his eighth home run.

1168
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 7: Detroit is eighteen to ten. After shutting out Baltimore seven

1169
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 7: to nothing, Trek scouble to win with eleven strikeouts.

1170
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 5: In six innings.

1171
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 7: Washington won on an error in the bottom of the ninth,

1172
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 7: eight to seven over the Mets. The Giants won again

1173
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 7: three to two with a run in the bottom of

1174
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 7: the ninth against Texas. Tampa Bay won at San Diego

1175
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 7: four to two Dodgers nine to two over the Pirates,

1176
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 7: but LA starter Tyler Glasnew left early with his shoulder problem.

1177
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 7: Austin Sindrick won the NASCAR race at Talladega. Ryan Priest

1178
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 7: was a close second. How close by less than half

1179
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 7: a length. He lost by point zero two two seconds,

1180
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 7: not twenty two seconds, zero point zero two two seconds

1181
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:59,479
Speaker 7: and has still never won a NASCAR race. The top

1182
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 7: two cars than this one exchange the lead five times

1183
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 7: in the last six laps. The next four Sunday races

1184
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 7: will be on FS one, including next weekend from Texas,

1185
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 7: and then that'll end the Fox coverage for the season.

1186
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 7: But Fox has all the IndyCar races this year. That

1187
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 7: will include the Indy five hundred in about a month.

1188
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 7: IndyCar returns to Fox TV next Sunday from Birmingham. NBA

1189
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 7: update the Celtics lead is one oh three ninety six

1190
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 7: now at Orlando, with about thirty seconds laugh back to you.

1191
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 3: Indeed, it is also known as Boston's gonna win this game,

1192
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 3: and uh, they're going to be up three games to one,

1193
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 3: and that's you know that this is a game that

1194
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 3: if the Celtics are really serious about this whole thing,

1195
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 3: they're going to win this game. And they are and

1196
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum has gone off. I think he's got thirty five.

1197
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 3: He and Kntavious Caldwell Pope probably only have about one

1198
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 3: more game together before this really gets out of control.

1199
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 3: So that's probably a good thing that this looks like

1200
01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 3: it might have a chance to end in five. I

1201
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 3: love watching the first round of the playoffs to see

1202
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 3: the specific kind of matchups and fights that start to

1203
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 3: build because you're playing the same team three four, five, six,

1204
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 3: seven times in a row, and right at the front

1205
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 3: of the line is Tatum and your old boy KCP.

1206
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah they're going there, Yeah they are.

1207
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,520

Speaker 3: Sunday morning right here on Fox Sports Radio and the

1217
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app. You set a short time ago that the

1218
01:07:56,080 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers have really screwed this up, and boy, I

1219
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 3: couldn't agree more. And I don't even understand the departure

1220
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 3: from sort of who they are as a franchise. You know,

1221
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 3: they're all about grit and blue collar and the run game.

1222
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 3: And now now this football team has acquired DK Metcalf,

1223
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 3: George Pickens has scrubbed his social media, so I don't

1224
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 3: know what the hell's going on there. They don't have

1225
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 3: a quarterback. They're openly talking about what we should we

1226
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 3: should hear from Aaron Rodgers soon, which is such a

1227
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 3: weak look to have the owner out there like, well,

1228
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 3: we'll find out if he picks us.

1229
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes, what are you contestant on the Bachelor?

1230
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 3: Like this whole thing is such a weird look from

1231
01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 3: that franchise.

1232
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 2: And let's be real, whether they get airon or not, what's.

1233
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 3: That really gonna add up to next year against Lamar

1234
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 3: Jackson and Joe Burrow.

1235
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 5: Nothing?

1236
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

1237
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 5: Nothing?

1238
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:17,480
Speaker 4: They've mishandled this from the beginning by letting both quarterbacks

1239
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 4: that they had who started in one game for him

1240
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 4: last year, letting both of them walk and go. That

1241
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 4: was the first misstep. Number two not addressing it early

1242
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 4: enough in the draft. Terrible decision. Now number three, just

1243
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 4: waiting on someone who doesn't seem like he has the

1244
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 4: desire to play at a high level anymore, and that's

1245
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. So here we are the Stillers in a

1246
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 4: situation where they're going to rely on a guy in

1247
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 4: Mason Rudolph who didn't work the first time. It's not

1248
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 4: gonna work this time. And they'll be five hundred, they

1249
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 4: won't make the playoffs, and you know, but they'll be

1250
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 4: just good enough not to have a lottery pick. Welcome

1251
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 4: to the perpetual roller coaster of mediocrity for the Pittsburgh Dealers.

1252
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but boy, I think that that's kind of a

1253
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 3: new story for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I know they've been

1254
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 3: this like magical run to the playoffs, but not actually

1255
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 3: a contender thing.

1256
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 2: Really ever since Roethlisberger left.

1257
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 5: No, they're gonna play hard, they're gonna show every week.

1258
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 3: But I mean they're well coached, and it's a good

1259
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,080
Speaker 3: franchise and and and all of that stuff.

1260
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 2: I get it, But like, hmm, what's the end game here?

1261
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, I don't you know what I mean, Like, Okay,

1262
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 3: what if you do get Aaron Rodgers. First of all,

1263
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 3: you and I both think that that's not gonna be

1264
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 3: good enough to do anything. We're allowed to be wrong

1265
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 3: even if what if we're wrong? Okay, great? Then what then?

1266
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 3: What you didn't address the QB position in the offseason

1267
01:10:56,960 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 3: or in the draft at all. I know you're ground

1268
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 3: Ohio States quarterback late whatever, It's not like you're I mean,

1269
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 3: that's a flyer.

1270
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 2: What a weird thing.

1271
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 3: What a weird thing for like to kind of approach

1272
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 3: the quarterback position with an annual band aid, which is

1273
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 3: what it feels like they've been doing for a while.

1274
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 5: The most important position on any NFL team.

1275
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 2: What a bizarro deal.

1276
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 3: And I know maybe you were wooed for a second,

1277
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 3: you thought you had a future guy with Picket, but

1278
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 3: that's been a while and they just there seems to

1279
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 3: be no like realization or admission that they.

1280
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 2: Need a quarterback, like you have to go. You are

1281
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 2: one of those.

1282
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 5: Teams, and now to address it in the draft was crazy.

1283
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 3: Right, Like you're the Titans, You're the Saints, you're the Giants,

1284
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:54,759
Speaker 3: You're one of those teams.

1285
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 2: They don't seem to want to admit it.

1286
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, that that was that was crazy.

1287
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 3: Well, Ravens and Bengals are looking good for the playoffs

Speaker 3: year the day after the NFL Draft, Beep beep, here

1308
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 3: comes the stupid train.

1309
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 2: And I'm not calling you stupid.

1310
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 3: If you read this stuff, or if you consume this

1311
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 3: stuff on any level, if you like it, good for you.

1312
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not telling you not to read it.

1313
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that I think the whole process

1314
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 3: is some of the most absurd stuff that comes out

1315
01:13:59,320 --> 01:13:59,759
Speaker 3: in sports.

1316
01:13:59,800 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 2: Meet.

1317
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's this ready for it draft grades mm hmm.

1318
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 3: The single stupidest thing that I see sports media do

1319
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 3: on a yearly basis. And I guess maybe it's crazy

1320
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 3: like a Fox, it's not stupid because people do they.

1321
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 2: They want it, They read it. You want to know

1322
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 2: what your team got, But I don't know.

1323
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 3: Do you get graded the day you show up at

1324
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 3: school like the first day?

1325
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1326
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that kid looks kind of funny. I'm giving him

1327
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 3: a D plus. We haven't done any assignments yet. Teach

1328
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:46,640
Speaker 3: doesn't matter, just gonna profile you and move on. I

1329
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 3: don't this is just me. I don't even understand it.

1330
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 3: I don't understand where are you coming from with this?

1331
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 3: What I mean draft grade?

1332
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 4: I think it's along the lines of, well, I know,

1333
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 4: it's along the lines of do you address the needs

1334
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 4: that your team had? You think, yeah, because like if

1335
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 4: you look at the Steelers, they didn't address in the

1336
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 4: one glaring need and that's a quarterback, so obviously they're great,

1337
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 4: it's going to be lower.

1338
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 2: Hmmm. I think maybe that's part of it.

1339
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 3: But I also, you know, there's there's all these people

1340
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 3: who think because that they watched a lot of college

1341
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 3: football and then they have like a computer and and

1342
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 3: so they've got tape and and they're like, oh, no, no, no,

1343
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 3: I watched that wide receiver from Idaho.

1344
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:44,799
Speaker 2: Uh, he doesn't profile as a three down receiver.

1345
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 4: So well, if he's a dynamic slot receiver, you guys

1346
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 4: need a slot receiver.

1347
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 5: That increases your great I guess I do.

1348
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 4: But if you need an edge rusher and you got

1349
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 4: a slot receiver, then that also that decreases your grade.

1350
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 3: But what if you need an Edgresher and you got

1351
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 3: one in the second round that somebody named mel Or

1352
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 3: Todd thought was going to go in the third.

1353
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 5: I don't think that.

1354
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 3: I do minus it was a reach. What the hell

1355
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 3: are you talking about? What does that mean?

1356
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 2: How do we know?

1357
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 3: And you know this, You and I have talked about

1358
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 3: it at length. Like the phrase that I threw out

1359
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 3: there last year, draftism, it follows you. So that's what

1360
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 3: I hate most about draft grades is someone will stick

1361
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 3: out these draft grades.

1362
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 2: And then when they're proven wrong, then they're going to

1363
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 2: go next level.

1364
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 3: And go, Well, that guy that's doing really well, he's

1365
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 3: actually not that good product of his surroundings system quarterback

1366
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 3: do what.

1367
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, dude, It's just me.

1368
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 3: I'm very turned off by the whole idea of telling

1369
01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:00,679
Speaker 3: us who someone is. But hell, before they've before they've

1370
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 3: even gone to camp, they haven't even gone to the

1371
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 3: city and gotten a helmet yet.

1372
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 2: And you, you, of.

1373
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 3: All people, you're a wonderful example of what I'm talking about.

1374
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 2: Seventh round pick.

1375
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, what what what was somebody's great on you?

1376
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 4: Well, our first round draft pick didn't even start the

1377
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 4: beginning of the season when I, uh, the year, I

1378
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,520
Speaker 4: got to think I was the only.

1379
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 5: Rookie starter.

1380
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, and I

1381
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 3: know of and this is going in the way back machine.

1382
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 3: And I won't say the name because I'm not mean

1383
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 3: like that. But like years ago, the forty nine ers

1384
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 3: had a first round draft pick, like an early one too,

1385
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 3: I like a top ten pick. This is a long

1386
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:53,760
Speaker 3: time ago. And uh, they got in the building and

1387
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 3: like a few days into training camp and they were

1388
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 3: like whoops, whoops. I mean they knew right away, but

1389
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 3: it was a huge need and he was a big prospect,

1390
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 3: so that draft grade was like, oh, that's a good pick.

1391
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 3: It's a terrible pick. It was a massive bust as

1392
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 3: it turns out. So anyway, I just think if i'm

1393
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 3: if I'm any of you listening, and your team got

1394
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 3: a bad grade, you can throw that.

1395
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 5: In the trash. Yeah, that's stupid. We can grade them

1396
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 5: after the season.

1397
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes it takes even longer than that, does

1398
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

1399
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 3: It does, Like a lot of guys don't even most

1400
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 3: of them, the later ones, they don't even get an

1401
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 3: opportunity right away.

1402
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 2: Might take me.

1403
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 3: I would actually, I've like long sort of dreamed about that, Like,

1404
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 3: how come someone's never done that content. Let's do draft

1405
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 3: grades from twenty twenty two. Let's take a look at that,

1406
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 3: and and how'd everybody do?

1407
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 2: That? Would be good to me. Okay, let's do that.

1408
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 2: Let's start that. I don't know you have, I don't think.

1409
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 3: I don't think I have time to do it beforeward

1410
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 3: done tonight, Do it right now. I'm gonna go look

1411
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 3: at the twenty twenty two draft.

1412
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 5: Do it right now.

1413
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 3: Go take a gander and see who fo do it all?

1414
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 3: See uh see who nailed it and uh and who didn't.

1415
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 3: But I'd read that, I would read that all right.

1416
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 3: The Indiana Pacers and Bucks are off to their start.

1417
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 3: Pacers up by three, but it is very very very early,

1418
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 3: so much more coming up. As we watched that one together,

1419
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 3: And back to the NBA, JJ Reddick rips the refs.

1420
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:56,360
Speaker 2: What about Giannis's future? That's next?

1421
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

1422
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, into the night we go here in the Fox

1423
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 3: Sports radio studios, eat from salam Mark Willard, and down

1424
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 3: the stretch we come with the fourth NBA playoff game

1425
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 3: of the night and there is breaking news out of that.

1426
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 3: We'll have that for you in just a second. JJ

1427
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 3: Reddick from the podium was interesting to say the least.

1428
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 3: We'll have that for you in just a moment. I

1429
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 3: do just want to put a bow. I don't want

1430
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 3: to belabor this. I want to put a bow on

1431
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 3: the point that I was making a few minutes ago,

1432
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,679
Speaker 3: and this is just the only example I could really

1433
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 3: come up with. And our producer Ian he sent like

1434
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 3: a redraft of the twenty twenty two draft, like for fun,

1435
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 3: if you were to do the draft again, and if

1436
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 3: you were to do the draft again, it has Brock

1437
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 3: Purdy going fourth overall to the New York Jets. But

1438
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 3: if you go to NFL dot com and look at

1439
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,479
Speaker 3: the draft grades that were given to teams at the

1440
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:56,599
Speaker 3: time at the time, well, the forty nine ers, they

1441
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 3: got to be minus for their draft and they got

1442
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 3: to B plus for their Day three picks at the time.

1443
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 2: Less than two years later, the two hundred.

1444
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,479
Speaker 3: And six, two hundred and sixty second pick in the

1445
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 3: draft would lead them to the Super.

1446
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 2: Bowl against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

1447
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 3: Actually, if you look at their draft now, it was

1448
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 3: even worse than it be minus except for today plus

1449
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 3: because with the last pick in the draft, they got

1450
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 3: a quarterback for three and a half million dollars for

1451
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 3: the next four years.

1452
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'd say that's winning the draft.

1453
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 2: You won the draft with one pick.

1454
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 3: Who cares what the rest of your guys did, And

1455
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 3: by the way, the rest of their guys did very,

1456
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 3: very little.

1457
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, Dame Lillard just got helped off the.

1458
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 3: Court and I mean, like, could not walk on the

1459
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 3: left leg, non contact kind of a look. Helped off

1460
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 3: of the court. And he just came back a couple

1461
01:21:55,800 --> 01:22:00,759
Speaker 3: of games ago from the blood clout situation. And so

1462
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 3: the Bucks find themselves down by you know, it's first quarter,

1463
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 3: so whatever, down by a few points to start this game,

1464
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 3: but also down Dame Lillard.

1465
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 2: As he was helped immediately to the locker room.

1466
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 5: Man, Yeah, it's been a tough Dame.

1467
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 2: Sure has.

1468
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 3: Well and and sort of I think emblematic of the

1469
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 3: larger thing that is going on with the Milwaukee Bucks.

1470
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 3: When do you think Jiannis is going to run out

1471
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 3: of patients?

1472
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 5: I think this is the end of his patients this year.

1473
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 5: See you in LA next year.

1474
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 2: Of course, it's law. How hell the Laker's gonna fit

1475
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 2: that salary.

1476
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,559
Speaker 4: Lebron's got to go to Milwaukee and then signed hit.

1477
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 4: Lebron and UH and Bronnie have to go to Milwaukee.

1478
01:22:51,600 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 9: Brother, I'll give you, I give you however much you want,

1479
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 9: if you could convince Lebron to go to Wisconsin, go

1480
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 9: to Wisconsin.

1481
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:09,440
Speaker 3: Man, he not going He's not going to Wisconsin.

1482
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 2: What about Miami.

1483
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 5: He's not going back to Miami.

1484
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 1: No.

1485
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,560
Speaker 5: I thought, sorry, yeh, that'd be nice, that'd be I

1486
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 5: don't know if I don't know, man, I don't know.

1487
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 4: If guys want to go down there and deal with that,

1488
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 4: deal with coach Riley.

1489
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 2: I mean coach coach Riley. Right, the heat, the heat.

1490
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 4: Culture, the heat culture. It's burning a lot of people

1491
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 4: the wrong way.

1492
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still Miami.

1493
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 5: It is still Miami. But I mean that's difficult.

1494
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 4: He definitely needs to be somewhere around shooters and a

1495
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 4: and a point guard, a dynamic ball handler.

1496
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 5: Take some of that off his plate.

1497
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 4: Even though he's best in the half court when he

1498
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 4: has or not even in the half court, but in

1499
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 4: the open court with the ball in his hands.

1500
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 5: But he needs some spot up shooters for the drive

1501
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 5: and the kick hm, I mean that I have what's

1502
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 5: that Dallas?

1503
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I don't know.

1504
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 3: I mean, everybody's got to figure out how to fit this, right,

1505
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, you got to figure out

1506
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 3: how to fit this.

1507
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 2: And what I know is that there are very very

1508
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 2: few teams out there that have cap space.

1509
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 3: And and then this isn't a free agent situation anyway,

1510
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 3: So you've got to have the assets to make this happen.

1511
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:46,600
Speaker 3: And then and then you've got to be able to

1512
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 3: fit him into whatever you're already doing. And the Dallas Mavericks,

1513
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 3: I don't really know. I'm no expert on the situation.

1514
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 3: But Anthony Davis is there now, Kyrie Irving is there now,

1515
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 3: Klay Thomps and is there now. These guys are all

1516
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 3: making a ton of money and I don't really find

1517
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 3: any of them to be very desirable to Milwaukee in

1518
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 3: a trade.

1519
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, So I get what you're saying.

1520
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 5: Johannis looks just so defeated coming right Cord. He really does,

1521
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 5: like he's just like, oh god.

1522
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:24,719
Speaker 2: Well, they're just they're playoffs, yeah, and they're not very good.

1523
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 2: They're not good, They're just not very good. I know

1524
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 2: that he's still Yannis and whatnot.

1525
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 3: And I get that the Lillard thing has been wobbly,

1526
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 3: but it's is not a very good basketball team this year.

1527
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:42,440
Speaker 3: They're They're not bad, but they're just eh, they're just mediocre.

1528
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 3: It's mediocre basketball team.

1529
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.

1530
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 4: It's tough because you've seen a generational talent just get

1531
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 4: caught up in the wash and you want to see them.

1532
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 4: You know, they had to win. They had a small

1533
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 4: window and they just couldn't keep that thing going. They

1534
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 4: held onto Middleton, in my opinion, too long. Chris Middleton.

1535
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,640
Speaker 4: He never regained form from when they won the.

1536
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: Championship, right, he rarely played.

1537
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 4: Just then you get rid of Drew Holliday, It's like, yeah,

1538
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 4: they didn't do things.

1539
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 5: To get better.

1540
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 2: Yannis just turned thirty.

1541
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so essentially he's got seven great years left, plenty

1542
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 4: of time, plenty of time.

1543
01:26:38,479 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 5: He got to get out of there, though.

1544
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 3: But I do think that that number sometimes can make

1545
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 3: you go, oh, like.

1546
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 5: How many years does he have left on his on.

1547
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 2: His contract contract?

1548
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 3: I can get you that, uh, Jannis, right now, that

1549
01:26:54,000 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 3: contract goes another Let's see, he's already locked for next year,

1550
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 3: he's locked for the year after that.

1551
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:06,440
Speaker 2: And then a player option for twenty seven twenty.

1552
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 5: Eight, So it's two years left on the deal to.

1553
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 3: Two plus one if he wants it, sixty two point

1554
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 3: seven player option at his age thirty three season. But yeah,

1555
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 3: two more locked, two more locked at about one hundred

1556
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:21,520

1557
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 5: Hm.

1558
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 2: Hmmm.

1559
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 3: Now you wonder you wonder if turning thirty? Yeah, thirty

1560
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:33,679
Speaker 3: thirty is not old.

1561
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 4: But no, he's too. He's built different. Maybe I have

1562
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 4: thirty Lebron No, sure, like they were, they were like,

1563
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 4: oh I don't know, no, no, no, plenty plenty, plenty, plenty

1564
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 4: of time. But I wonder if it makes him go

1565
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 4: plenty of time, but not plenty of time. If we're

1566
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:53,680
Speaker 4: gonna waste He's not.

1567
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 5: He's not wasting any more years. And like for him,

1568
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 5: his clock is going.

1569
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.

1570
01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, his clock.

1571
01:27:58,920 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.

1572
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 5: I get out of here.

1573
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,759
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. When you turn thirty. I'm asking him,

1574
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 3: not the Bucks, not the rest of the league. I

1575
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 3: mean there there are going to be some major We

1576
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,639
Speaker 3: know the Sons are breaking up. We know that Kevin

1577
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 3: Durant's playing for a new team next year.

1578
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 5: Yes, Bradley Bill not if he doesn't want to. He doesn't.

1579
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:25,719
Speaker 4: He's already stated that I like my life.

1580
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,799
Speaker 3: So Durant's gonna be on a different team. There's something

1581
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 3: happening with Giannis. Lebron's gonna turn forty one.

1582
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 5: He's gonna be on a new team.

1583
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 2: Do you really think that, like, for real, for real.

1584
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 4: He's gonna play his last What he's a player option

1585
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 4: next year or the year after?

1586
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's Lebron. He's got a player option

1587
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 3: every year. Yeah, that's true, but not something that the

1588
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 3: Lakers can decline. No, he's under contract next year.

1589
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, of course they'll be there. But yet,

1590
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 4: I'm not a Lebron hater. I'm not. I just think

1591
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,719
Speaker 4: in order to move on with your franchise, if you've

1592
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 4: replaced your franchise player with someone who hasn't even stepped

1593
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 4: in their prime yet, then you have to do everything

1594
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 4: you can to help facilitate that and help make that transition.

1595
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:26,639
Speaker 5: As soon as you can.

1596
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I just don't know if now

1597
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 3: is as soon as you can. They might not be

1598
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 3: able to yet. Lebron still makes the decisions for.

1599
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 5: Lebron, Yes he does, and he's earned.

1600
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:47,799
Speaker 3: That, unless, of course, we're talking about second half minutes.

1601
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:49,679
Speaker 2: So check this out.

1602
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 3: This is from JJ Reddick, Laker's head coach, talking about

1603
01:29:55,479 --> 01:30:01,360
Speaker 3: playing Lebron, Luca and three others the entire second half

1604
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 3: of today's basketball game.

1605
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:05,799
Speaker 10: No, it wasn't planning, but we just made the decision

1606
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 10: at halftime.

1607
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 4: What at halftime? You made your decision? Nobody else is playing?

1608
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 4: Who made that decision?

1609
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 5: He said?

1610
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,640
Speaker 2: We? Who is we? Him and the assistant coaches.

1611
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:20,839
Speaker 5: Man's fire everybody.

1612
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 2: No, that's not a look and Lakers down three at half? Right?

1613
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 2: Is that right?

1614
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 5: Yes?

1615
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:29,880
Speaker 2: I think the Lakers were down by three?

1616
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, down by three, Like I can almost understand

1617
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 3: your thought process at half, But I would have I

1618
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 3: would have said it.

1619
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 2: I would have said it this way.

1620
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 3: Let's be open to that if that's what we need

1621
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 3: to do, because.

1622
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 2: We absolutely have to win this game, and we're trailing

1623
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 2: by three. But then you go into the fourth quarter

1624
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:55,479
Speaker 2: up by ten and you stick with it.

1625
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 5: You can't do that.

1626
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man.

1627
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 5: Can't do it.

1628
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,800
Speaker 3: You tell me about losing because we're about to play

1629
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 3: something else for you from JJ Reddick.

1630
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:10,800
Speaker 2: And then then I'd like to potentially use a.

1631
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:14,479
Speaker 3: Word to describe JJ Reddick in the postseason so far,

1632
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 3: and you tell me if it's a fair word or not. Okay,

1633
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 3: But first, here's another part of JJ's press conference where

1634
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 3: he is upset at the officiating.

1635
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,800
Speaker 10: Let's just start with Luca got tripped. I mean, that

1636
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 10: was a blatant trip. He doesn't just fall on his own.

1637
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 10: We watched it. You know, he gets tripped, So we

1638
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 10: should have been at the free throw line. You know,

1639
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 10: that's not an excuse for why we lost, but we

1640
01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 10: felt and you know, we had a chance to go up.

1641
01:31:39,800 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 10: You work on the endgame stuff, you know, you draw

1642
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:45,840
Speaker 10: it up and you tell guys very specific things. We

1643
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 10: didn't execute it, and very obvious we didn't execute it.

1644
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,759
Speaker 10: So I don't know what that's my only advantage point.

1645
01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 10: You know, we just didn't execute it.

1646
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 2: Mmm.

1647
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, here here's the word. Like, dude, he's a rookie coach.

1648
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 3: They won fifty games. I think, by and large, this

1649
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 3: has been a really really good year.

1650
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:10,280
Speaker 2: For JJ Reddick.

1651
01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 5: Great YEP. But he got exposed and yes, in a

1652
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 5: tough West to be a three seed.

1653
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 8: Really good, really really great regular season yep.

1654
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 5: Completely exposed in the.

1655
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:23,680
Speaker 2: Play he has been totally exposed.

1656
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 5: And completely from from the beginning to now.

1657
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 3: I mean, when we go to you decided at halftime

1658
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 3: in inc.

1659
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 5: How do you make that decision it I don't have time.

1660
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1661
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 3: How do you say after game one we were surprised

1662
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:42,240
Speaker 3: by their physicality. How do you say after game four, well,

1663
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:45,520
Speaker 3: Luca was fouled. I'm sorry. Have you watched these playoffs?

1664
01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 3: Everybody's fouled on every play, every every single like we're

1665
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 3: I'm thrilled after a possession if dudes aren't punching each other, and.

1666
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:59,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna have the nerve quite.

1667
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 5: Frankly throwa just throw back play.

1668
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 3: Right, but you're gonna have the nerve to then go

1669
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 3: to the podium and point out one play.

1670
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 5: No, I like him, let him play man and he

1671
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 5: was fouled.

1672
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 3: It's like, wait a minute, I don't know, dude. Somebody

1673
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 3: need to show him the Pistons Knicks.

1674
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,200
Speaker 2: Game if you want to. He was fouled.

1675
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 3: I mean the refs they decided that game today by

1676
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:27,000
Speaker 3: swallowing their whistle, they changed the outcome of the game.

1677
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 2: You can't you can't say that in this one.

1678
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 4: No, it's poor execution down the stretch. Oh, this has

1679
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,680
Speaker 4: been uncomfortable from the top down. These four games for

1680
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,559
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick have been he's out, he's been out coached,

1681
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 4: he's been out coached. He has been he's been out coach.

1682
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:48,920
Speaker 4: My veteran coach has been there before he's been out coached.

1683
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 5: That's it.

1684
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, full agreement here on that one.

1685

01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 3: see today show posted right after we get off the

1706
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 3: air plank and Spaniard around the corner. But we got

1707
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 3: at least a good half hour of chatter left. What

1708
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 3: do you think of the Golden State Warriors winning without

1709
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler last night?

1710
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 5: I thought it was huge. I thought that was.

1711
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 4: A veteran team taking advantage of the inexperience of a younger,

1712
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 4: more athletic team. Like I said, it's difficult for Houston

1713
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:32,759
Speaker 4: to score in the half court.

1714
01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 5: It just is.

1715
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:39,840
Speaker 4: And so when it comes down to it, if you're

1716
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 4: within striking distance, you can't count out Steph Curry. You

1717
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 4: can't count out the defensive efficiency of Draymond Green, which

1718
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 4: completely changed that game, especially coming down the stretch. They're

1719
01:35:54,439 --> 01:36:03,960
Speaker 4: well coached and they're champions players, so it it. I mean,

1720
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:06,960
Speaker 4: I thought that was a huge win for them to

1721
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 4: take control of the series.

1722
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:12,280
Speaker 5: And they're in the driver's seat now.

1723
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 3: I want to continue with this, however, this is kind

1724
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 3: of what I feared watching it live.

1725
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 2: But I'm no doctor.

1726
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 3: And I don't want to throw this out there without

1727
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:26,599
Speaker 3: knowing anything about it.

1728
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 2: But Chris B.

1729
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 3: Haynes, NBA reporter is reporting that Damian Lillard is feared

1730
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:40,559
Speaker 3: to have suffered a torn achilles. Oh my gosh, and

1731
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:44,880
Speaker 3: that is exactly what it looked like. Oh no, you

1732
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 3: know that, you know that famous Kobe walk off of

1733
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,679
Speaker 3: the of the floor when you cannot you cannot bend,

1734
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 3: total non contact injury. And the look on his face

1735
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 3: might be the most daunting part of all of it,

1736
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 3: as he just sat on the ground with kind of

1737
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 3: a sheepish grin on his face.

1738
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 2: It was as if he knew And I'm sure you

1739
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:07,680
Speaker 2: do like everybody Wan.

1740
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:10,599
Speaker 3: Who has ever done that that I know, they tell

1741
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 3: you right away, like you you feel the snap, you

1742
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:19,240
Speaker 3: hear it, and and then the use of of that

1743
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:24,599
Speaker 3: leg and bending is gone. And so this is this

1744
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 3: is much bigger than this series and this year and

1745
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 3: the Yannis impact and all of that. But that is

1746
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 3: that is the word that that looks like Dame Lillard

1747
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:39,679
Speaker 3: is feared to have suffered a torn of kill.

1748
01:37:43,240 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 2: What a gut.

1749
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:51,719
Speaker 3: Punch anyway, Yeah, I co signed with what you're saying

1750
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 3: is kind of what I said about the Rockets all along,

1751
01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 3: Like I did a little exercise this week with with

1752
01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 3: my crew here, which is, why don't we take a

1753
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 3: look at the Western Conference seeds since.

1754
01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 2: The trade deadline?

1755
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 3: Forget the year, just since the trade deadline, because what

1756
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 3: the Lakers did with Anthony Davis and what the Warriors

1757
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 3: did without Jimmy Butler kind of irrelevant right now, right

1758
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 3: because that's not who these teams are anymore. And what

1759
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,880
Speaker 3: the Clippers did without Kawhi Leonards kind of irrelevant right now.

1760
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 3: So tell me what these teams have done since they

1761
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 3: became who they are. Well, in that particular series, the

1762
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 3: Rockets would have stacked up as the five.

1763
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:42,200
Speaker 2: Seed and the Warriors are the two seed.

1764
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,839
Speaker 3: They're the two seed in the West since the trade deadline,

1765
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 3: only behind Oklahoma City. And so when I looked at

1766
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 3: that series, I kind of broke it down that way,

1767
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 3: which is to say, there's nothing. I love what the

1768
01:38:56,400 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 3: Rockets are building, but they're not ready. All of their

1769
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 3: key players are twenty two years old. When have you

1770
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 3: ever seen a team made up of twenty two year

1771
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 3: olds advance in the playoffs?

1772
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 2: That's unheard of.

1773
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:13,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't happen, right.

1774
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 3: So I kind of thought their only hope was some

1775
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 3: sort of an injury to one of the big two,

1776
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 3: and they got it, and they didn't take advantage of

1777
01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:29,840
Speaker 3: even that. And I'm hearing that Butler is likely to

1778
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 3: be back tomorrow. I think, in fact, I think it

1779
01:39:33,160 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 3: was pretty close last night.

1780
01:39:35,840 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 2: I think he was pretty close.

1781
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 5: To playing with tough injury.

1782
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,720
Speaker 2: Though. It's a tough injury that hurts. It looked like

1783
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 2: it hurt.

1784
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 5: That's a tough injury.

1785
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:44,760
Speaker 2: You ever had it?

1786
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:49,559
Speaker 3: Yes, And that's not what you want, no, I mean, like,

1787
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 3: what was did you miss games?

1788
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 4: Can't walk, can't can't sleep, can't run? I never missed

1789
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 4: games man, Yeah, well surgery, I missed a game. That's

1790
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:07,719
Speaker 4: why I can't now right.

1791
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 2: Right?

1792
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:11,559
Speaker 5: Should have missed a couple at least.

1793
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 3: Well, that's kind of what I'm getting at though, Like

1794
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 3: when you were talking earlier about JJ reddick, Okay, it's

1795
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 3: game four, we feel like we've got to have it.

1796
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:28,120
Speaker 2: We're down three and a half. I'm gonna decide right.

1797
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:32,000
Speaker 3: Now, I'm playing everybody with no substitutions the rest of

1798
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 3: the way.

1799
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 2: That's a blink.

1800
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 4: That's a crazy that's a complete blink.

1801
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:44,640
Speaker 3: Meantime, here's Golden State tied one one heading for a

1802
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:48,839
Speaker 3: home game. They know, damn well, they're nowhere near It's obvious.

1803
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 3: It's plane is in plain sight. They're not nearly as

1804
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 3: good of a team without Jimmy Butler. They lose such

1805
01:40:55,960 --> 01:41:01,200
Speaker 3: a huge aspect of what they've become. But they kind

1806
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 3: of did something that I like, I can't believe, which

1807
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 3: is they took a huge deep breath and went, now,

1808
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 3: let's sit him, let's sit him, let's be mature, and

1809
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:19,680
Speaker 3: let's be confident that we can do this.

1810
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 5: But they did that during a regular season with Steph.

1811
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:24,720
Speaker 2: They did, but this is different because it's the playoffs.

1812
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 2: I get it.

1813
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you're coming off of you're coming off of

1814
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 3: a game where Jimmy got knocked out and you got

1815
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 3: you got the beat down.

1816
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:36,200
Speaker 5: But they know they can beat this team. That's the

1817
01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 5: thing they then.

1818
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, you know, And they walked out

1819
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 3: there and fell down by thirteen or fourteen points right

1820
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:49,120
Speaker 3: away last night. I gotta tell you, in that moment,

1821
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 3: I didn't think they were gonna win. I sure didn't.

1822
01:41:52,400 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 5: Steph wasn't on, he wasn't even hitting yet.

1823
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 2: I know.

1824
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 5: Once that parcolator started eating.

1825
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:02,639
Speaker 2: Up boy, you know who's about to eat up.

1826
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:07,600
Speaker 5: The one and only the park of the human Percolator himself.

1827
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Speaker 2: Warm it up, Steve, He's about to good evening once again, gentlemen,

1828
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,519
Speaker 2: Let's update the NBA playoff game at Milwaukee.

1829
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:17,720
Speaker 7: The Pacers trying to go up three games to one

1830
01:42:17,760 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 7: in their first round series, and they're leading the Bucks

1831
01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:22,800
Speaker 7: fifty five forty three with about four minutes left in

1832
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 7: the second quarter. And yes, Damian Lillard limped off in

1833
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:29,759
Speaker 7: the first period for Milwaukee with an apparent achilles injury,

1834
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 7: and Boston is up three games to one. Also in

1835
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:35,000
Speaker 7: the East, Knicks are up three games to one. They

1836
01:42:35,080 --> 01:42:38,680
Speaker 7: each won Sunday games. Boston won its contest tonight at

1837
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 7: Orlando one oh seven ninety eight. Jason Tatum thirty seven

1838
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 7: points and fourteen rebounds.

1839
01:42:44,560 --> 01:42:45,240
Speaker 5: That game was.

1840
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 7: Tied with four minutes left. New York won by a

1841
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,640
Speaker 7: point at Detroit, ninety four to ninety three, and the

1842
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 7: refs admitted afterwards a foul should have been called on

1843
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 7: New York at the end on Detroit's three point attempt. Nonetheless,

1844
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:01,040
Speaker 7: it's three games to one. Nicks and Brunson had thirty

1845
01:43:01,080 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 7: two points eleven asses Karl Anthony Town's twenty seven points.

1846
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 7: New York trailed by eleven with about eight minutes to go.

1847
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 7: Minnesota trailed the Lakers by seven with five minutes left.

1848
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:17,240
Speaker 7: Today we have documented how Doncic and James and the

1849
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 7: Lakers did not play well in the fourth quarter and

1850
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 7: got all the minutes. Nonetheless, Minnesota beat the Lakers one

1851
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 7: sixteen to one thirteen in this comeback. Timberwolves up three

1852
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:29,280
Speaker 7: games to one. Monday Night, Golden State, trying to go

1853
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:32,360
Speaker 7: up three games to one, will host Houston. Cleveland's already

1854
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 7: up three games to none. It'll play tomorrow at Miami.

1855
01:43:35,960 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 7: NHL playoff wins for Saint Louis, Carolina and Washington in

1856
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 7: the late game, the LA Kings lead won nothing at

1857
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 7: Edmonton at the end of one. Austin Sindrick took the

1858
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 7: NASCAR race at Talladega. Ryan Priest was a close second.

1859
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:53,839
Speaker 7: The Carolina Panthers signed veteran wide receiver Hunter Renfros from Clemson.

1860
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:55,040
Speaker 5: He sat out last year.

1861
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,799
Speaker 7: Linebacker Dre Greenlaw, now with Denver, suffered a straining quad

1862
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:01,080
Speaker 7: but should be ready for tree raining camp. In the

Speaker 7: Sunday night ballgame, Philadelphia in ten innings beat the Cubs

1864
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:08,639
Speaker 7: three to one. Great starting outing from Aaron Nola, usually

1865
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 7: in ace on that staff, but was zero to five

1866
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,960
Speaker 7: this year. No decision tonight, but seven very strong innings.

1867

Speaker 7: The Yankee swept a doubleheader against Toronto eleven to two

1868

Speaker 7: and five to one. Aaron Judge hit his eighth home

1869
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 7: run in that nightcap. He's batting four oh six. Detroit

1870
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:27,479
Speaker 7: shut out Baltimore seven to nothing, a win for Terrek Schooble,

1871
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:30,560
Speaker 7: last year Say Young Award winner. He had eleven strikeouts

1872
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:33,679
Speaker 7: in six innings. Tigers have won four straight. Their record

1873
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 7: is up to eighteen and ten. The Mets fell to

1874
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 7: nineteen and nine after losing with two runs given up

1878

Speaker 7: Tampa Bay won its fifth straight game four to two

1879
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 7: at the slumping Padres Dodgers nine to two over Pittsburgh.

1880
01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,920
Speaker 7: The Giants are nineteen and ten after getting an uner

1881
01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,400
Speaker 7: and run bottom of the ninth to edge Texas three

1882
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:05,519
Speaker 7: to two, and in Sacramento, the A's don't call them

1883
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 7: the Oakland A's one in ten innings three to two

1884
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,000

1885
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:13,720
Speaker 7: White Sox record now seven and twenty one. And as

1886
01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:16,800
Speaker 7: far as the golf ladies and gentlemen, today, we had

1887
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 7: Andrew Novak's name come up again. We had mentioned it

1888
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 7: last week. Let's be honest, an unknown golfer, but he

1889
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 7: got into a playoff loss said playoff a week ago

1890
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,719
Speaker 7: to Justin Thomas. Still hadn't won on the PGA Tour.

1891
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 7: He has won now because he teamed with Ben Griffin

1892
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 7: at TPC Louisiana to win the Zurich Classic by one

1893
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:42,000
Speaker 7: stroke in alternate shot play. Today, you see this is

1894
01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 7: a team competition. These two are first time tour winners.

1895
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 7: It was Rory McElroy, the Masters champion, teaming with Shane

1896
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,519
Speaker 7: Lowry who were the defending champs here and they were

1897
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 7: still in contention over halfway through the final round, but

1898
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 7: eventually failed to twelfth place. This is the PGA's Tour.

1899
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 7: Two were only team event. Meanwhile, Live Golf has team

1900
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 7: events locked into their tournaments every weekend. In an odd way,

1901
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 7: the individual winner of the Live Golf event in Mexico,

1902
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 7: was Joaquen Neeman, who was down two shots to start

1903
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:19,640
Speaker 7: the day behind Bryson Deshambo and wound up winning and

1904
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 7: getting another victory on John Ram's team. If you add

1905
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:24,920
Speaker 7: up the scores of his teammates, they took the team

1906
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:27,439
Speaker 7: title for the day and they split a bunch of

1907
01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:30,679
Speaker 7: money as well. But the individual winner for live golf

1908
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 7: today Joaquin Neeman. They've only had six events on their

1909
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 7: tour this year. Six It's it's gonna be May next weekend.

1910
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 7: They've had six golf tournaments. He's won three of the

1911
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:45,720
Speaker 7: six and as we mentioned, anytime you win a live

1912
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:51,639
Speaker 7: golf event, it's worth four million dollars plus any team

1913
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 7: competition money over these events as well. Congratulations. Meanwhile, on

1914
01:46:56,360 --> 01:46:59,839
Speaker 7: the LPGA Tour, we had a major contested this weekend.

1915
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 7: Not in Southern California in the desert anymore. It's at

1916
01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 7: the Woodlands, Texas. The winner of the Chevron Championship is

1917
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 7: Mao Saigo of Japan. She shot a final round seventy four,

1918
01:47:10,200 --> 01:47:12,719
Speaker 7: not quite as good as the other rounds. It left

1919
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:15,680
Speaker 7: her in a five way tie at the end of regulation.

1920
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 7: She won a five way playoff on the first hole. Nonetheless,

1921
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,960
Speaker 7: and as a first time winner on the LPGA Tour

1922
01:47:24,080 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 7: at the age of twenty three, and she was their

1923
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:28,479
Speaker 7: tour Rookie of the Year last season. But now she's

1924
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,719
Speaker 7: won an event and it's a major. She takes home

1925
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 7: one point two million dollars. Those two PGA golfers we'd

1926
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 7: never heard of. They each get one point three million

1927
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 7: dollars for winning the Zurich Classic. And then there's the

1928
01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:48,759
Speaker 7: Live golf winner four million dollars. John Rahm for finishing

1929
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 7: fourth place four strokes back, gets a million dollars plus

1930
01:47:53,800 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 7: the team money for the weekend in Mexico City. Final

1931
01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 7: note is that Phil Mickelson finished fifteen strokes behind, not

1932
01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 7: even in the top twenty in Mexico City, and gets

1933
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:09,000
Speaker 7: over two hundred thousand dollars for three days of golf.

1934
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 7: I say again out loud, two hundred and six thousand dollars.

1935
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 7: You had to finish in the top ten on the

1936
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:20,519
Speaker 7: PGA to get over two hundred thousand. You didn't even

1937
01:48:20,560 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 7: need top twenty to get over two hundred thousand dollars

1938
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 7: this weekend and Live Golf back.

1939
01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 3: To you, Steve, I know that you understand everything in sports,

1940
01:48:30,640 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 3: not quite and I genuinely. Now, do you even understand

1941
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 3: how this the team format thing works.

1942
01:48:38,280 --> 01:48:42,719
Speaker 7: In live since they don't Yeah, they don't have separate

1943
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:45,720
Speaker 7: holes to play or any right. My guess is at

1944
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,480
Speaker 7: the beginning of the year, it's you and three teammates

1945
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 7: and you just add up your scores for the weekend.

1946
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:53,080
Speaker 7: So John Rahm had a pretty good top five weekend,

1947
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 7: so that helped his team to the to the best

1948
01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 7: total score.

1949
01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:00,599
Speaker 3: Okay, but you said my guess, yes, don't even you're

1950
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 3: not sure about that, but you.

1951
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 7: Think I've never seen separate holes play. Therefore just the

1952
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 7: regular eighteen on the course, and I think that's how

1953
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:09,040
Speaker 7: they would do it.

1954
01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:11,559
Speaker 3: I just think it's it's like a race between Live

1955
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:16,719
Speaker 3: and the NBA Cup to see the problem is which

1956
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:19,519
Speaker 3: one people will actually figure out first.

1957
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,719
Speaker 7: What I do appreciate is the live golf results actually

1958
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:26,360
Speaker 7: count as real stats. They will forever be it. We

1959
01:49:26,439 --> 01:49:29,920
Speaker 7: won't get like in the NBA Cup final. Oh, you'll

1960
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,240
Speaker 7: never find those stats or the play in tournament play

1961
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:33,160
Speaker 7: can't actually count.

1962
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 2: It didn't happen.

1963
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:35,640
Speaker 5: We were watching it.

1964
01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:38,280
Speaker 7: People were trying, right, and yet the stats for the

1965
01:49:38,320 --> 01:49:39,880
Speaker 7: All Star Game somehow count.

1966
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 2: It's like it's like Reggie Bush's last season at USC.

1967
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 5: That's right, never happened.

1968
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:48,480
Speaker 2: I was on the sideline, but apparently.

1969
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:52,440
Speaker 5: No, that was that was the dream were completely mistaken.

1970
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, thanks Dave Grags. Enough.

1971
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even get it. Do you get it?

1972
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:00,839
Speaker 3: I don't even know stand whatever?

1973
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 5: Right? I like that says the team point. I'm like, okay, Like.

1974
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, Like who who's on his team?

1975
01:50:08,080 --> 01:50:11,040
Speaker 3: How does that work? Do they have a barbecue afterward?

1976
01:50:12,120 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 4: Draw names out of a head before every tournament? Or

1977
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 4: random pick? Are you pick your own team? How many

1978
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 4: people on a team?

1979
01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1980
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:27,960
Speaker 2: Do you understand the NBA Cup? Do you get that? Yeah?

1981
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 3: I kind of do, but I don't want to, so

1982
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 3: I just, you know, just kind of let that one go.

1983
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:40,280
Speaker 3: That whole thing where where NBA players are like, yeah,

1984
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 3: we're good, let's let's compete and play more games than

1985
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:47,040
Speaker 3: than the regular season calls for so that we can

1986
01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:50,599
Speaker 3: make a little extra money, And I'm like, what is

1987
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,760
Speaker 3: in this for the fans?

1988
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:55,640
Speaker 2: Like I end up rooting. It's the only time in

1989
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 2: my life I've ever rooted against one of my favorite teams.

1990
01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 2: I'm like, just lose.

1991
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 3: I don't want you tiring yourself out so that Steph

1992
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,599
Speaker 3: Curry can go make five hundred thousand dollars.

1993
01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:08,760
Speaker 2: He makes that every game.

1994
01:51:10,680 --> 01:51:16,360

01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 3: Dame Lillard has torn his achilles tonight, and so as

2012
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 3: you digest that news. The Pacers also lead the Bucks

2013
01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 3: by eleven at halftime of that game, for the Pacers

2014
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:22,560
Speaker 3: up in the series two games to one. And I

2015
01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:26,560
Speaker 3: don't want this to sound kind of like disrespectful to

2016
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 3: Dame Lillard, that's the first thought.

2017
01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 2: But the injury and the scoreboard make.

2018
01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 3: You have all kinds of thoughts about Giannis in his

2019
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 3: future as well, No doubt about it, no doubt about it.

2020
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:45,080
Speaker 3: You know what I haven't had a chance to talk

2021
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 3: to you about yet is Cooper flag declaring for the

2022
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 3: NBA draft. How did that grab you? What do you

2023
01:52:54,840 --> 01:53:00,240
Speaker 3: think about that? I know some people listening might be like, well, uh,

2024
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:03,479
Speaker 3: but like you and I've had I think a lot

2025
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:06,719
Speaker 3: of Like You've said some things to me that I'm like, oh,

2026
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:12,200
Speaker 3: that's interesting with regard to the way that the landscape

2027
01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 3: is very very new, nil money, who's going to draft you?

2028
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:21,640
Speaker 3: All of that? So, like, A, did this surprise you?

2029
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 3: B Do you think it sticks?

2030
01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, because the option is still there. Look,

2031
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:33,080
Speaker 4: I wouldn't fought him for staying, or wouldn't fought him

2032
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:36,519
Speaker 4: for going. I think that's where we are right now.

2033
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 4: If his dream is to go to the NBA, no

2034
01:53:38,479 --> 01:53:41,840
Speaker 4: matter what that looks like. Then he leaves, he goes.

2035
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 4: My only caution is you can go disappear for four years.

2036
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 4: You can be the toast of the town and go

2037
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 4: disappear for four years.

2038
01:53:56,280 --> 01:54:01,559
Speaker 5: And that's that. And so you know it's gotta be.

2039
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:07,759
Speaker 4: The days of one player coming into a bad NBA

2040
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:15,640
Speaker 4: team and making them relevant. That's those days are long gone.

2041
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:19,000
Speaker 4: What Lebron was the last one to do that, right,

2042
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 4: and I was over twenty years ago right.

2043
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:26,720
Speaker 2: Now.

2044
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 4: He immediately had impact where you were like, oh, okay, right, okay,

2045
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:37,000
Speaker 4: this is gonna be different. There are no players like that,

2046
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,160
Speaker 4: and the league is not set up like that anymore.

2047
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:47,680
Speaker 4: So it's one of those things where if he goes

2048
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 4: to Washington, are Utah?

2049
01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:53,839
Speaker 2: Are Charlotte?

2050
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 5: Charlotte New Orleans? If he goes to New Orleans, I

2051
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:58,760
Speaker 5: got the numbers in front of me.

2052
01:54:58,880 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 3: You want me to throw something at you, Yeah, check

2053
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:04,200
Speaker 3: this out, because I know where people are thinking. You know,

2054
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 3: these the teams that are in the lottery, and they're

2055
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:10,360
Speaker 3: fourteen of them, the teams that are in the lottery.

2056
01:55:10,840 --> 01:55:18,760
Speaker 3: I would argue that would be like, oh, that's nice.

2057
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:24,800
Speaker 3: Everybody talks about San Antonio and I get that Wemby

2058
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 3: coming back. Stefan Castle, right, Aaron Fox. Okay, Phoenix is

2059
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 3: in the lottery. Now they're a mess, but there's some

2060
01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:43,920
Speaker 3: talent there and it's Phoenix, Arizona, you know, warm Weather Locale.

2061
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 2: Okay.

2062
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:48,840
Speaker 3: Portland's an interesting young and up and coming team. They

2063
01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:53,760
Speaker 3: they flirted with some stretches of really good basketball this year.

2064
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 3: Dallas is in the lottery. You've already talked about some

2065
01:55:59,280 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 3: of the pieces.

2066
01:55:59,880 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 5: That they have there. Yep.

2067
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:05,920
Speaker 3: The Bulls are in the lottery, the Kings are in

2068
01:56:05,960 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 3: the lottery. Organizations are kind of kind of a mess

2069
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:11,320
Speaker 3: from the inside out.

2070
01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 2: But listen to this.

2071
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 3: Here are the top seven teams in terms of current

2072
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:22,440
Speaker 3: lottery odds, and then I'm at the end. I'll give

2073
01:56:22,520 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 3: you add all of these up and the overall percentage

2074
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:29,760
Speaker 3: chance that one of them gets the number one pick.

2075
01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:41,880
Speaker 3: You already mentioned the top three Utah, Washington, Charlotte, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto.

2076
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:47,080
Speaker 3: Those are your top seven in terms of odds to

2077
01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 3: get the number one pick.

2078
01:56:49,240 --> 01:56:50,440
Speaker 2: Do any of those.

2079
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:54,240
Speaker 3: Sound even a little bit attractive if you're Cooper Flag.

2080
01:56:56,360 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 4: No, no, no, Maybe Charlotte to play with LaMelo.

2081
01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 3: Okay, what about I mean, I know Philly's got these issues,

2082
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 3: right embiid and Paul George, But like.

2083
01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,160
Speaker 5: That's what your talent. They the talent.

2084
01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:16,120
Speaker 3: It's a big market Brooklyn. Get some shung up and

2085
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:16,839
Speaker 3: coming pieces.

2086
01:57:16,880 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 5: It's work. No, no, no.

2087
01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 2: All right.

2088
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:25,720
Speaker 3: Those seven teams I just named eighty one percent.

2089
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 2: Chance that one of them gets the number one overall pick.

2090
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:34,880
Speaker 5: Well the man.

2091
01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:38,280
Speaker 2: The Spurs have a six percent.

2092
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 5: Chance, welcome to the NBA.

2093
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:43,440
Speaker 3: The Suns and Blazers have both a little bit below

2094
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 3: a four percent chance. The Mavericks have a little bit

2095
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 3: below a two percent chance. Eighty one percent chance though,

2096
01:57:51,840 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 3: that one of those seven teams is going to be

2097
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:59,280
Speaker 3: the would be landing spot for Cooper Flag.

2098
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:02,160
Speaker 2: So if you were a dad, what would you say, Well,

2099
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 2: that's it. You would just make that noise.

2100
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 4: I would say, I would really find out if Look,

2101
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:24,200
Speaker 4: the dream of making professional sports is a rare dream.

2102
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:28,280
Speaker 4: Now for some it may seem like less of a

2103
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 4: rarity based on hype and productivity. And you know, chances

2104
01:58:37,400 --> 01:58:40,840
Speaker 4: he's an NBA player. He was a seventeen year old

2105
01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:43,040
Speaker 4: kid at Duke who was clearly the best player in

2106
01:58:43,080 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 4: college basketball. They fell short. So yeah, if the dream

2107
01:58:50,200 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 4: is to go to the NBA and you don't care

2108
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:56,600
Speaker 4: where you go, then yeah, go ahead. But dreams can

2109
01:58:56,640 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 4: turn into nightmares. And we're finally watching Polo Benchero fight

2110
01:59:05,480 --> 01:59:08,400
Speaker 4: in claw as the number one pick? What three years ago?

2111
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 4: Kate Cunningham is the number one pick four years ago?

2112
01:59:12,760 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 4: Good player, right, No one knew that until this year.

2113
01:59:17,720 --> 01:59:21,680
Speaker 4: Now he had some injury issues. Victim woman Yama as

2114
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 4: good as he is. They have not made the playoffs yet, right, right,

2115
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:29,960
Speaker 4: So you got to just keep keep that in context.

2116
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:30,480
Speaker 5: You can.

2117
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 4: You're not going to be as important next year as

2118
01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 4: you are this year, right, And I mean if that's

2119
01:59:35,360 --> 01:59:37,520
Speaker 4: not the case, if that's not the goal, then come on,

2120
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 4: come on out.

2121
01:59:38,240 --> 01:59:38,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

2122
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 3: Well, and that's inevitable to a certain degree, right, inevitable

2123
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,680
Speaker 3: to a certain degree. Hey man, great stuff this weekend?

2124
01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 3: Uh you text me on Wednesday night? Okay, talk to you, man,
