Rings. 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.600 We got to talk about rings. Do they matter or 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.000 do they not matter? Okay, because I'm hearing all sorts 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:30.520 of different things about rings, and who. 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:30.760 Can I ask? 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:30.840 You? 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.400 Can I ask your girlfriend of six years? Seven years? 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:34.800 I mean, why would you say that right before a 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.479 big party? She hasn't be Yeah, she isn't be in 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:38.080 Vegas with me? 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:38.760 Like, can we. 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:41.120 Sorry I didn't. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.720 I've already made a few mistakes in Vegas, Dude, I 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.680 don't need to do that again. But no, of course 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.080 they matter in life. But do they matter in sports? 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:55.800 Because someone very prominent in the NBA said no. We 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.000 discussed that yesterday and then as of today, there's a 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.920 lot of other prominent peace well teammates of Lebron that 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.880 are saying they matter a lot. So we'll dive into that. 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.360 We'll talk about watches today if we have time. But 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:13.680 let's get into this now. Game six. Okay, see okay, 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.880 see up three games to two. It's a must watch. IOA, Sam, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.880 you're watching, Danny G's got to be watching. He's our 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.800 resident NBA guru. You guys are tuning in right, one 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.880 hundred percent. And remember the Pacers don't lose very often 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:27.600 back to back. 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:28.520 True. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.520 And you know Sam's a little jaded because he's so 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.680 he's so in that Caitlyn Clark zone that nothing really 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.520 compares to him. And she is bringing the fire. I'm 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.480 not seeing many people in the NBA bringing the fire 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.080 she's bringing. You watching, Sam, I saw. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.040 I would say, I'm looking at a picture of Kaitlyn 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.080 Clark singing shinado O'Connor. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.880 Nothing compares to you, Nothing. 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.840 Compared to you. Mike and I Mike Lingar, the guy 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:51.680 who runs his place. 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.720 We will be driving to Vegas while the game is on, 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.240 so we'll find it on the radio or on streaming, 0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.720 and we will be listening to that game. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:00.240 Yeah. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.560 Yeah, it's exciting, that's fun. So yeah, we gotta be 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.640 tuned in because the Pacers need to win to push 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.880 a game seven. It's as simple as that. But the 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:13.160 side story is, well, was that Halliburton playing or not 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.000 was a game time decision? But Shams is saying that 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.959 he's probably gonna play. So it's a matter of, well, 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.520 we're we gonna take his word for it or not. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.600 But we'll find out soon and we'll stay tuned with 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.120 Dan Byer, who's got your updates? 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:26.520 All right? 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.160 Thenyg's on the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.160 on Fox. But the question is this, would you play? 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.440 Do you think he should play? If you're not one 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.960 hundred percent? Do you go out and do your best? 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.880 Do you sit it out? Does it matter because it's 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.520 the NBA Finals? I think it does. But I'll explain 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.720 because I've always lived by this theory again, Cavino Enrich 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:55.000 eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Crceeve. I always 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:00.440 live by the theory of if I'm not feeling close 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.160 to one hundred percent, because especially at this age, why are. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:04.520 You ever really one hundred percent? 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.080 Every right, But if you're not close to one hundred percent, 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.960 maybe you sit it out because you're not bringing your 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:15.000 best And then at that point, I mean, you're bad company. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.680 Like all right, let's say you had a hot date. 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:18.840 But on that night you had a big pimple on 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.280 your nose. Are you going to feel that confident on 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.960 that date? And I know that's a lame example, but 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.440 that's just the example. Are you gonna feel your ultimate 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.240 confidence on that date? Are you gonna bring your ultimate best? 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.280 Maybe it's best to sit it out that night, and 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.760 then when you're feeling better, you bring it all the way, 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.040 you deliver, you show that you're the man, and you 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:42.520 leave a great impression. So in life sometimes I'm I'm 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.920 understanding if you sit it out because you're not feeling 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.080 that great, because sometimes you're just in your head because 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.240 you're not good company. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.720 I mean, your example, while ridiculous, is a good one 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:53.200 to Hey, hey. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.280 If it's a sore throw whatever the case may be, 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.160 you got got a bad haircut, who cares? 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.560 Whatever is making you feel like ass. 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.600 If you've got to with the woman of your dreams 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.560 she finally said yeah, let's get a drink, and you got, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.640 as you said, a big pimple right on the tip 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:07.160 of your nose. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.560 Are you gonna bring your best? Especially if it's a 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.400 woman of your dreams, you want to take that chance 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.640 on that night. I want to see here when I'm 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.440 feeling my dopest, my sweetest, the closest to one hundred 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:18.880 percent that I am or that I can. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.159 But that isn't a little isn't that a little bit 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.920 of a pee type of move to say I'm gonna 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.839 sit it out because I don't because I'm not feeling 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.200 a hunt doze percent. I always assume this, especially in 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.479 the NFL, Danny, I feel like you back me up 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.520 because every week when the injury reports come out, if 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.799 a guy on my team who I know is a baller, 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.160 if he can't play, I'm assuming, like, yo, he can't 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.080 play because. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.960 These guys, you don't think they want to push it right. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:43.560 Yeah. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.880 And the other thing about Hollie is that he is 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:47.919 a facilitator. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:48.719 I love that word. 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:53.080 And he's an assist minded guy. He wants to pass 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:53.760 the ball first. 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.800 Yeah, But is he really helping the team if he's 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.640 not one hundred percent? That's the question you need to 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.560 keep in mind. And that's my point in saying in life, 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.280 are you really helping yourself? If you're going out, if 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.320 you're not feeling that great, maybe it's best to sit 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.760 it out. However, these are extreme circumstances. This is the 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.920 NBA Finals. This is do word die. Your team's got 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.240 to win. I think you need to show up in 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.279 this big moment. But think about it. Could he be 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.839 hurting the team by playing at fifty sixty percent? We 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.159 don't know how hurt he is. And that's also a 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.719 tough decision. How many times in life where stakes aren't 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.920 as high, you sit there and you deliberate on, man, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:31.840 should I go to work? 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.120 Should I not? Maybe I could push through. I don't know. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.159 Should I go to the gym? Should I not? Should 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.320 I go on this date? Should I not? Because you're 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.320 just not feeling that great? Those decisions are hard enough, 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.719 you know in life. Imagine how he must feel knowing 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.240 that if he pushes it too hard, he might permanently 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.920 injure himself. And it's not a guarantee. When you're an 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.960 investment nowadays, you're not just a basketball player showing heart. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.680 What about just emotionally lifting your team up the way 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.440 Willis Reed did for the name he limped out. He 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.440 wasn't the star of that game. A lot of people 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.160 don't know how that entire game played out. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.400 Legendary moment, different era though, too. That's what we need 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.120 to keep in mind. Of course, we all want to 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.799 see how Lei Burton get out there. The old daniel 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.200 Lewis is going to fight. Everybody loves the old daniel 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.400 Lewis is gonna fight. It's a big surprise to everybody, like, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.080 hell yeah, it is lifting. What is a different world 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.800 we live in now where I don't know, guys just 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.520 don't play with that same amount of recklessness and heart 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.400 that they used to because they can't. I'm not saying 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.599 because they don't want to. I'm saying because they can't 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:38.560 because of their career trajectory and how much is put 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.599 on them investment wise, So play or not. 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.640 I feel like, perception wise, and for the team that 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.000 he's a leader of, for a guy that was doing 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.840 the Reggie Miller chokes and bolt against the Knicks, for 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.560 the guy that's been making suit of Li Tres with 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.440 the media, he's the type of guy that just his 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:58.520 pure presence, like yo, I'm going to give it a go, 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.880 is a mare booster to Indiana. I feel like if 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.760 he sits out, which it doesn't seem like he will, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.159 he's gonna give it a go. But if he sits 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:10.200 out tonight, I feel like, just like you're putting the 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.000 vibe out there that like it's over, Like Yo, he's. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.640 Not even gonna give it a go. Season's over. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.239 Give it to Okay, we all want him to play, 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.400 there's no doubt about it, and it looks like he is. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.520 But based on this, we just posed a question. Is 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.120 it always the best idea? And you know, let me 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:31.960 bring up Kevin Durant. Look what happened to him when 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:33.640 he wanted to push it and show that he was 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.400 the man. And you know, I want to be moral 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.080 support and lift a team and spirit and show that 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.680 I got heart and do it. It set him back 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.000 with a major injury. So it's not always the greatest thing. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.640 And like you said, going on that date, Rich, when 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.160 you're not feeling that good, maybe you don't bring your 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.360 best and maybe she thinks you're lame for it, and 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.119 you just see blocked yourself and your potential with that woman. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.000 Maybe sometimes a little rest is okay, But again, NBA 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.960 Finals a much different story, especially a game six. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.200 Yeah, I can't imagine if you're a baller and competitor, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.200 you're gonna want to be out there, especially with your 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.800 team that you've taken it this far. You're at game six, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.120 is listen, there's only potentially one more game after this. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.760 And I know you're saying you don't want to risk 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.920 major injury. But unless your damn leg is hanging off 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.880 or your your shoulders like dislocated, you can't shoot a 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.560 basketball unless something so dramatic is going on. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.080 I think even perception wise wheel them out or something. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:38.000 Just to get the theatrics going right the game's in Indiana, 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.280 like get the crowd amped up, like there he is, 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.280 he's playing. Daniel Larrus is gonna fight like you said, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.280 this takes me back to grade school. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.280 In fact, Rich when you'd have a. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.600 Little sore throat your mom would rub vipps, vics, vapo 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:56.240 rub on you. 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:58.719 I mean she rubbed it on me. I don't know 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.240 if your mom rubbed it on you. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.760 Now your mom rummed it on me, and she would say, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.520 sona sna coulitoa, and she would give me some suecrets 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.120 or chloroseptic, you know, throw back Thursday sort of stuff. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.839 Louden's Pine Brothers kis And you're like, I don't know 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.600 if I can go to school, and you sit it out. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.679 By the time Price's right was on you realized at 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:24.440 that point that you probably could have went, and that 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.040 was the worst feeling ever. I mean, I love playing 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.400 hooky and sitting out, but you know, if you liked school. 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.720 Or if you had a game that day, or you. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.840 Didn't want to miss gym class, or you know, you 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.560 wanted to see the hot girl in school, you did 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.680 feel bad or feel guilty for not showing up when 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.199 midway through the day you realize you probably could have. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.240 On the highest of levels. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.520 Haliburton has to be feeling, man, if I don't go in, 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:50.880 I'm always gonna regret it. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.680 So that's probably why he's gonna push himself. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.160 And the latest update Sham says he's probably gonna play, 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.600 but as far as I know, still a game decision 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.960 to see whether or not Daniel Luiso is gonna fight. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:11.280 They just I love that cove. 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.679 I I want to put it in perspective. Also, what 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.400 do we see every NFL season when a guy like 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.200 Joe Burrow or a guy like Lamar Jackson, or you know, 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.960 someone of that nature gets knocked out of the playoff 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.760 situation like ah, they'll be back next year, And we 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.880 often realize that's that's like lip service. That's like, that's 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.200 like someone saying, oh, you got pooped on. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.560 Oh that's good luck. Oh it rained on your wedding day. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:38.560 Oh that's just good luck. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.400 Sometimes you just say things to make people feel better. 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.200 Indiana is a great team, but with the Knicks getting better, 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.920 with Boston still being the Celtics, it's not like this 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.240 given where oh the Pacers will be the team for 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.920 years to come. This might be Halliburton and Siakam and 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.880 these guys. Real chance, he wants a chance. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.559 It's a great point and you have to go all 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.480 out right. But is his sixty seventy percent better than 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.360 the next person's one hundred percent? 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.480 That's really the question here. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:12.600 And talk recently about those moments where those miraculous sick 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.520 games and people playing for something like there's always these moments. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.000 And for all you know, we're three hours away. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.800 From remember that game where Halliburton played hurt and he 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.640 facilitated as Danny said, and yo, Indiana, they took it 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.120 at game seven and that's how they won. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.640 Like this might be the store. 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.520 He comes at lacing up his new Puma shoes. Everyone 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.360 gets all excited. It's a nice theatrical moment. It could 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.640 be a memorable moment saying that, am I. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.239 Wrong by saying the in state, the in arena. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.800 Broadcast team, the scoreboard, the special effects. You don't think 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.560 that they should play into this, like be like, yo, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.240 he's gonna play. Let's make it grandiosa, Let's make this 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:50.760 a deal. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.040 You know, Oh, I don't think that's what we're sitting on, 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.760 what we're waiting for. And like I said, I'm on 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.560 the edge of my seat waiting for Dan Bayer to 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.360 have a sweet update for us on it, because that's 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.800 what we're discussing. Listen, he's most likely gonna play, but 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.720 is it at the detriment to his team? It's almost 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.440 like a you have to be unselfish here too. What 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.400 is really best someone else's one hundred percent or your 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.000 sixty seventy percent? And let me give you another example. 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.840 We mentioned Kevin Durant. What could happen if you overextend 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.400 yourself to try to be the hero? What about Nestor 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.959 Cortes last year? Nasty Nestor hadn't pitched in a month, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:26.920 and what did he do? He said all the right 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.480 things and all the cool things, like, yo, man, if 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.640 the team needs me, I don't care if I permanently 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.560 hurt myself. I don't care if it's a career ending injury. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.760 I want to win that ring with the Yankees. Put 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.720 me in there, I'll go all out. Dude, had him 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.120 pitched in a month. He goes out, He goes out 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.760 there and gets shelled. Freddie Freeman hits a Grand Slam 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.800 game over set the tone Game one, and the Dodgers 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:47.800 win the World Series. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.040 That's miserable. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.480 So his his sixty percent set the team back. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.240 You see what I mean? 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.880 Like, I know we all want this heroic story, but 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.800 at least hear out the other side. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.280 It's not always the best decision. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.880 Hey, of repeat after me just one time. Gibby, meet Freddy. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.679 Gibby me Freddy. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.960 But you think about him, that that was that was 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:15.199 him being almost a little too selfless. I don't know 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.120 how you want to look at it, but at the 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.640 detriment of his team, someone else would have probably been 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.840 better off in that situation than Nestor, who was pitching 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.440 on all heart. Again, the intention was was was there? 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.200 But guess what his arm was not? Freddie Freeman teed off. 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:32.800 Fine guy. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.320 If Freddie Freeman was playing injured and he was almost 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:41.960 a detriment on defense. Remember true, So it goes both ways. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.240 But you know what, Yeah, if Freddy's if Freddy's too 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.320 much of a wuss, he's not taking that at bat 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.240 and he's like, I'm injured. 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.400 Guys, was him showing all that heart and saying all 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.920 the right things really worth it? That said that Tony 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.560 Yankees had no shot after that, and that could be 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.360 what Halliburton brings tonight, could be wishing for that at all. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.120 And again that all is speculation on how hurt he 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.719 really is. We don't know, And it goes back to tolerance, right, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.480 Sometimes you push through and other people stay home. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.800 Everyone's different. We'll see how tough he is tonight. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.000 Yeah, there's a quote from him. He says, it's the Finals. 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.000 I worked my whole life to get here. If I 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.680 can walk, I can play. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.240 I like the attitude. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.280 But Anny, I mean, that's sort of what I was 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.840 thinking as far as like you play your whole life, Cavino. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.480 It's there are so few people that get this opportunity, 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.640 the honor to play in the NBA, the MLB, the NFL. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.800 If you are like on the borderline of can I 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.720 play or not? In the biggest game of your life. 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.920 What has Halliburton played in a bigger game than an 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.520 elimination NBA Finals Game six? You're right, unless he unless 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.840 he needs to be in a wheelchair, this guy's gonna try. 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.120 Yeah. Let me make this clear too. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.120 On my behalf, I'm Cavino, that is Rich Danny g 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.280 sam Byer, everybody's hanging out. I want to make it 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.080 clear that I agree with you. I want him out there. 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.840 We all want him out there. We want to see 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.440 a great game six. We want to see some heroic 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.120 stuff happen tonight. We want to see him lace it up. 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.840 We want to see something, like you said, theatrical. But 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.800 I am just giving you other things to think about. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.400 It's not always the best decisions. Sometimes it is best 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.160 to sit out, even though it's tough to sit it out. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.400 I'll give you an example of our industry. Chick hern 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.720 back in the day, he was going for a record 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.720 of x amount of broadcasts in a row, and he 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.880 had laryngitis. It was so bad you could only make 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.560 out like every third word he was saying in the 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.120 first half of this Lakers game. 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:40.160 It was bad. 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.360 So in our business it would almost be like if 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.400 it was a show you guys really needed to do, 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.880 but you had laryngitis and it was hard to listen to. 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.040 You gotta push it through, you know. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.280 On a funny note, we have our big event tomorrow 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.920 from Vegas, right, hundreds of people showing up from all 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.800 over the country to party with us at CIRCA. We're 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.760 going to be doing it live here on Fox Sports 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.120 A pull side. It's gonna be great, and we're gonna 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:08.440 be boozing and schmoozing and broadcasting and shaking hands and 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:12.760 high fives. And Rich Davis here is losing his voice 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:18.720 as we speak. As we speak, you know, my em 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:20.080 to home. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.280 I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and I'm like, guy, I've 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.080 got a broadcast. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:26.960 I'm gonna do. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.920 It if I have half a voice, if I could 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.080 even with her, I'm in right ready to go. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:34.440 Man. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:36.960 So I just hope that he brings it. 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:41.680 I hope you I'll see a crappy effort because he's 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.640 trying too hard where he's you know, just not at 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.680 his best. What are you do in life based on that? 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.640 A game six? You gotta show up it's the NBA Finals. 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.400 That's clear if you can. But in life, if you're 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.160 not one hundred percent, do you show up or not? 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.280 I think a lot of times you sit him out 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.120 and then you wish you would have, like your price 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:03.920 is right, theory is? 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.240 I feel like that's life. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.600 So many times you're like, yeah, I'm tired, man, I'm 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.280 not going to go out tonight. Then your buddies all 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.600 have a great time. You're like, man, I really could 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.800 have gone out very much like you said. When you're 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.200 a kid eleven or am hit, you're watching Prices right, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:21.159 you're playing Plinko with grandma, and you realize that the 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:21.960 reality is that was. 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.440 The thing he played seven up and you played kickball, 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:26.240 and oh you missed that out on all the fun. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.600 Oh man, dB, what are your thoughts on this? 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:29.840 Man? 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.960 Well, I just want to draw a parallel. It's not exact, 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.800 but I'm curious in your guys thoughts because Halliburton is injured. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.520 But it reminds me of the dilemma, say, like in 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.720 the Little League World Series, do you want your stud 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.879 pitcher who's probably seventeen years old to pitch in that 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.040 game before you get to the championship game, or do 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.320 you want him to pitch if you get to that 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.840 championship game, you want him to pitch in that one? 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.680 Because I think there's a good chance that Halliburton may 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.560 not be one hundred percent tonight. And if he's not 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.919 one hundred percent tonight and plays forty minutes, he's probably 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.960 not gonna be one hundred percent for game seven. But 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.840 if you didn't play him tonight, you have no guarantee 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.240 that there is a game seven, and so like it 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.040 may pay off if you held them out, we're able 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.200 to win. But it reminds me, you know that Little 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.080 League great where you can only have like sixty pitches, 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.639 or you know you can't you're at your pitch limit 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:21.920 for for youth baseball. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.160 And if you just when we play when we play 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.320 games on our show, when we play Last one Standing 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.359 and I save an answer and then give a wrong answer, I'm. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:34.080 Like, oh, yeah, yeah, do you use haliburd tonight? 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:35.560
