Speaker 2: thought you played the game to win.
Speaker 1: M Well, listen, we know they're not doing the same way.
Speaker 2: The same way you're the same way. Teams used to
Speaker 2: put players on our R to hide them because the
Speaker 2: guide because if you release them, somebody might get them,
Speaker 2: so we put them on our R. Right, Okay, man,
Speaker 2: you know anytime there's anytime, Look, people gonna find a
Speaker 2: way to curt the system, no matter what system is
Speaker 2: in place. You know what, I got bad credit, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna put my I'm gonna put I'm gonna put the
Speaker 2: phone in my kid name.
Speaker 1: You see, I remember them days because I showed had
Speaker 1: a washing dry in my name and I was only two.
Speaker 2: Classic h O Joe. Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont defended the
Speaker 2: Luca trade. Take a listen, Ojoe to what he had
Speaker 2: to say.
Speaker 1: It is so tough.
Speaker 4: Decisions are never easy, and part of leadership is looking
Speaker 4: at risk and looking at all the factors of a
Speaker 4: decision and being willing to act at that time and
Speaker 4: look to the long term and not only think about
Speaker 4: the short term or how it may be may be
Speaker 4: received immediately, but to think about the long term benefits
Speaker 4: and what it may allow you to achieve if given
Speaker 4: all the right considerations.
Speaker 1: Man, what do you talk about? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: No disrespect to Pat, no disrespect. But the long term
Speaker 1: move was having Luca there. Now, if you having issues
Speaker 1: with what he does off the court, there's a simple
Speaker 1: conversation that needs to be had. That's all you have
Speaker 1: to do. Listen. We view you as our long term plan,
Speaker 1: a long term asset, the long term nucleus for our
Speaker 1: team going into the future. We want to build around
Speaker 1: you because we understand how special you are and what
Speaker 1: you can do for us.
Speaker 2: You just got us to the.
Speaker 1: NBA Finals last year the previous year based on what
Speaker 1: you can do on the court. Now you let that
Speaker 1: go with great understanding, Lucas. Lucas ain't just falling from
Speaker 1: the tree every every season. They're not just just not happening.
Speaker 1: There's really no way you can defend that trade. Now
Speaker 1: understand the issues that were happening off the court. Some
Speaker 1: of the things that didn't they didn't see fit that
Speaker 1: would probably harm him, you know, years down the line.
Speaker 1: That's a simple conversation, especially when you want to invest
Speaker 1: that kind of money that he was going to make
Speaker 1: and he probably make. It is gonna happen to be
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Now, you don't let a player of that
Speaker 1: magnitude go that had that give you that type of production.
Speaker 1: You don't because, like you said, like you said as well,
Speaker 1: when it's the last time something like this has it
Speaker 1: ever happened before. The reason there's a reason why there's
Speaker 1: certain players you don't let go of. You think every
Speaker 1: super super superstar it's perfect behind the scenes. You think
Speaker 1: Covid didn't have issues despite his dedication and discipline and
Speaker 1: structure when it came to plan. You think Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: didn't have issues that we don't know about outside of
Speaker 1: playing a game of basketball. Come on, that ain't nobody
Speaker 1: perfect a ten to ten when it comes to wanting
Speaker 1: to invest in it but understanding what they give you
Speaker 1: from a business perspective and what they can do on
Speaker 1: the court long term. Come on, man, stop playing. That
Speaker 1: answer was a whole bunch of nothing.
Speaker 2: The problem is that he called it a long term
Speaker 2: move and Nico Harrison said it was a trade to
Speaker 2: win now move. I'm looking at it. You just went
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals, like you said, Ojo, that's winning now.
Speaker 2: I'm confused when you I can see, okay, we got
Speaker 2: some ask, but you said you're trying to win now. Bro,
Speaker 2: you just went to the NBA Finals. You just did that.
Speaker 2: It's not like it's not like you hadn't made the
Speaker 2: playoff in a couple of years, O Joe. It's not
Speaker 2: like you got knocked out in the first round. O Joe.
Speaker 2: It was a situation. You went to the NBA Finals,
Speaker 2: So that is winning. You're winning now. You didn't win
Speaker 2: the Ultimate Prize, but damn. Normally we don't see a
Speaker 2: team break, a team up and that's what they did,
Speaker 2: because you took the key piece out after going to
Speaker 2: an NBA finals unless said individual is unhappy. But because
Speaker 2: Luca never voiced that I wanted to be traded, that's
Speaker 2: what's so surprising. That's why, that's why the greatest trade
Speaker 2: Kareem wanted to leave Orlando allowed Shaq to become a
Speaker 2: free agent. And they had a poll and they said
Speaker 2: who should they pay, Penny or Shock, and the polls
Speaker 2: said they should pay penny. Shaq took that as an insult,
Speaker 2: as disrespectful, a slapping the face. He said, Okay, that's
Speaker 2: what y'all want to do. Boom. They also said it
Speaker 2: was too much money because I forget who it was
Speaker 2: that had just become the highest paid and they and
Speaker 2: a something to the fact that I don't think they
Speaker 2: didn't think the fans didn't think Shack deserved that kind
Speaker 2: of money. So out of guys like Shack, you don't
Speaker 2: let them become free agents. You try to extend them
Speaker 2: as soon as you possibly can. As soon as the
Speaker 2: window opened and you could offer them a max contract,
Speaker 2: you give it to him, a twenty four year old Shaq,
Speaker 2: and well, we see what happened. When he went to
Speaker 2: UH he went to the Lakers. But normally guys like
Speaker 2: Luca don't get traded unless they're asked to get traded.
Speaker 2: Kareem asked to get traded. Kareem was a three time
Speaker 2: league MVP, he was a Finals MVP, he had gone
Speaker 2: to the finals, he had he had won the scoring title.
Speaker 2: He wanted to get out of Milwaukee. They obliged it. Guys,
Speaker 2: this age, this skill, this talented, this dominant, You're not
Speaker 2: just moving them on your own volition. Doesn't happen, not
Speaker 2: at this age. Now, it come a time we saw
Speaker 2: AI get traded, but AI wasn't twenty five and a I.
Speaker 2: AI didn't have to get traded, but you know, the
Speaker 2: organization thought it was in the best interest, thought of
Speaker 2: some of the things that were going on off the court,
Speaker 2: and they moved on from AI. But twenty five year
Speaker 2: old AI, they ain't moving it.
Speaker 1: And so I'm understanding. But now we're saying, you understand
Speaker 1: the product. You understand the product that you're getting. Also,
Speaker 1: I used this scenario last night American Gangster. Then there
Speaker 1: Washington M and Gutting Jr. There's nothing wrong with blue magic.
Speaker 1: You got blue magic? Why are you touching it? Why
Speaker 1: are you touching it? There's nothing wrong with it. It's
Speaker 1: perfectly fine, just how it is. The product sells itself.
Speaker 1: Luca is the product. It sells itself. Why are you?
Speaker 1: Why are you touching it? What are we doing? A
Speaker 1: player of his magnitude? You know, all the hookah, all
Speaker 1: the beer. God damn it. You've been part of the
Speaker 1: NBA GM's presidents managers. You understand. Everybody drink, everybody smoke,
Speaker 1: everybody does some things, some extracurricular things outside of that
Speaker 1: as well, But we ain't trading them. Especially some about
Speaker 1: this is for long term, long term what Lucas ain't
Speaker 1: walking through that door. And if they were, if Luca,
Speaker 1: if Lucas be walking through that door, I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of other teams would have success.
Speaker 2: A lot more frequently. Come on, Luca is not a
Speaker 2: generational talent. Luca is a transcendent talent. Because the generation
Speaker 2: generation is twenty years. Guys don't come a month. Ya,
Speaker 2: This is transcendent. He's he's, he's And for me, O Joe,
Speaker 2: if I'm Patrick dumont of why I'm anybody Nicole Harrison,
Speaker 2: if I'm anybody in the Mavericks organization. I am not
Speaker 2: going to talk about this because all you do stirring
Speaker 2: old poop, it still stinks. All you do is peeled
Speaker 2: the scalb off of wound. That's that's still very fresh,
Speaker 2: but it's starting to scab over. You just rip the
Speaker 2: scalb off and got to start this thing all over again,
Speaker 2: because all the fans heard is like, man, this man track.
Speaker 2: I can't believe this man. And did you hear what
Speaker 2: he's saying? That's what the fans are thinking. Did you
Speaker 2: hear what he's saying? He talking about long term? Go
Speaker 2: messed up? Black? We just went to the NBA final.
Speaker 1: To yourself, you're lying to yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But if I'm them, I'm I'm done talking about
Speaker 2: this time. This this is this subject, Ohoe. I I'm
Speaker 2: not bringing I'm not bringing it up no more, Joe,
Speaker 2: because because I can't. There is nothing, no win. At
Speaker 2: some point in time, you got to come to the conclusion,
Speaker 2: O Joe, there is nothing you can say. Even if
Speaker 2: you were to win a title, people like you know,
Speaker 2: people gonna say we could have won the title with Luca.
Speaker 2: Who's just saying. Who's to say we wouldn't won that
Speaker 2: title with Luca Ojo.
Speaker 1: Yah, Well you know he won't have to worry about
Speaker 1: that because they're not going to be able to win
Speaker 1: the title.
Speaker 2: Oh Joe, the pain did not stop there for Dallas
Speaker 2: Southwest Airline after fifty four years, decided up there their
Speaker 2: check bag policy and now they're charging customers by throwing
Speaker 2: shade ats. It's not like we traded Luca.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a great,
Speaker 1: great business. It's all about advertising. How do we grass
Speaker 1: the viewing eye and make them say, oh, that was good.
Speaker 1: You know what, I want to fly with them despite
Speaker 1: them changing the policy and finally having to pay for bags,
Speaker 1: that was so clever. I'm from the flyer Southwest just
Speaker 1: because I mean, I'm not changing you know, my my
Speaker 1: my love for Spirit their Spirit Airlines. But that was
Speaker 1: a good one. That was great advertising. I don't know
Speaker 1: who came up with that. It was short, quick and
Speaker 1: to the point. Perfect scenario.
Speaker 2: Because the thing gives O Joe is that, you know,
Speaker 2: there's certain things that are catchy like the State Farm,
Speaker 2: like Flow with Progressive, like all State with Mayim, like
Speaker 2: Bud Wiser, Yeah ya, Bud. Why the Clivesdale. Remember the
Speaker 2: Clivesdale's commercial with the horns and the dogs and so
Speaker 2: forth and so on. That's what he wanted to be.
Speaker 1: Hey, I don't know who that All State that Mayhem commercials,
Speaker 1: but he's classic. I don't know who's behind the creative
Speaker 1: directed on, but he is. That's classic.
Speaker 2: That's right. Jake from State Farm made him from All State,
Speaker 2: Flow from Progressive. Really that's anonymous. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know what what Flow is gonna do. Hey, you remember
Speaker 2: the when when this commercial with Grandma where's the beef?
Speaker 2: Remember that? Yeah? So in this situation right here, I mean, look,
Speaker 2: this is maybe over time because eventually, you know, twenty
Speaker 2: thirty years from now, people will remember mill Walk. You
Speaker 2: traded Kareem. You don't remember that. People think Korean played
Speaker 2: his whole career in LA. He didn't. He didn't. That happens.
Speaker 2: It definitely, it happens. And you know it's like and
Speaker 2: he was homegrown. We took a young kid out of Slovenia,
Speaker 2: not extremely terribly athletic. He doesn't jump very high, he
Speaker 2: doesn't run very fast. He doesn't run very fast. All
Speaker 2: I know he puts the ball in the basket and
Speaker 2: an elite level. He has the third highest scoring average
Speaker 2: in NBA history, only behind Michael Jordan Chamberlain and it's
Speaker 2: Luca Dunn history history. He has the second highest scoring
Speaker 2: averaging playerf history, behind one Michael Jordan. They're not gonna
Speaker 2: forget that soon over time. Yeah, you know, we forget
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff over time. That's just the way
Speaker 2: the human mind is after a while. But it ain't
Speaker 2: happening anytime soon. And because anything that he does, you know,
Speaker 2: people are gonna go back. And plus we got internet.
Speaker 2: Maybe it'd been different if Kareem came up in an
Speaker 2: era where you had internet and you had twenty four
Speaker 2: hour news cycles and people talk sports all the time,
Speaker 2: twenty four hours a day, three sixty five, maybe it'll
Speaker 2: be different. But sports is different now than what it
Speaker 2: was back then, O Joe. It's vastly different because the
Speaker 2: way we cover it, the way we talk about it,
Speaker 2: the way we consume it. And with all that being said,
Speaker 2: people are gonna be mad in Dallas about at the
Speaker 2: Maverick for a long ass time.
Speaker 1: You're not easier on his end playing the way he's flying.
Speaker 1: When Lebron comes back and they continue to have success,
Speaker 1: together on the court. It's going to always be brought
Speaker 1: up over and over and over and over. This is
Speaker 1: who they traded.
Speaker 2: Hey, but don't let that. Don't let don't lose sight
Speaker 2: of that. I understand y'all didn't trade Luca. But y'all
Speaker 2: charging for check bags now, so let's let's let's let's
Speaker 2: let's keep the focus on the focus. I get it.
Speaker 2: It's very catch it. It's not like we traded Luca,
Speaker 2: but y'all charging money for those bags. And I remember
Speaker 2: when they first instituted a charging for check bags. O Joe,
Speaker 2: I was like, man, everybody like that ain't gonna last long.
Speaker 2: That ain't gonna last long. People gonna stop flying. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: how are you gonna get from California to the.
Speaker 1: Floor, You're gonna fly.
Speaker 2: How you get from New York to side drive, You're
Speaker 2: gonna fly? Hell now. So that's guess what What normally
Speaker 2: happens is that when one airline does something, what is everybody.
Speaker 1: Else follow right behind? Follow right behind? Because you got
Speaker 1: you got to you got to make it up for
Speaker 1: a reason. They charge you for check bags for a reason.
Speaker 1: You got to make money. This is a business, no
Speaker 1: matter how you see.
Speaker 2: It and think about the money, because think about it,
Speaker 2: Oh Joe, they give you one and then they charge
Speaker 2: you if the bags over a certain weight. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: charge you with a How about you take a dollar
Speaker 2: pound for real? Yeah. I do my best.
Speaker 1: I do my best regards to how long I'm going somewhere.
Speaker 1: They always take a carry on, take a carry on
Speaker 1: in the duffle. I try not to take suitcases.
Speaker 2: I try to do the same thing. But sometimes when
Speaker 2: you're traveling, when you're traveling eight cities in ten days,
Speaker 2: sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait
Speaker 1: one minute. Now listen. You can always use my method,
Speaker 1: a method I've been using for a very long time.
Speaker 1: It's very it's cost sufficient, and it works going from
Speaker 1: city to city. Now, if you got how many day
Speaker 1: you say, eight cities in ten days. Now, if you
Speaker 1: got eight season in ten days, what you have to
Speaker 1: understand is all you have to do is take three
Speaker 1: pair of shoes, use the same outfit, have a bunch
Speaker 1: of underwear, tank tops and t shirts. Always change. But
Speaker 1: use the same outfit. But change your shoes after each
Speaker 1: city because the outfit resets itself. So if you're in
Speaker 1: Chicago on Monday and you got to go, you got
Speaker 1: to go to say, let's say l A on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: All you do is wear the same outfit but changing shoes,
Speaker 1: and the outfit resets itself based on a different location,
Speaker 1: so that that stage pack multiple outfits. Now, that's just
Speaker 1: something I do and and still do to this day,
Speaker 1: especially when you have to do things back to back
Speaker 1: to back, and you having to do signings and appearances
Speaker 1: for La Portier.
Speaker 2: Okayand you think I go, You think I got shorts
Speaker 2: and tank top in Connecticut and californ and Chicago.
Speaker 1: Right now, all you needed, All you need is a
Speaker 1: little jacket. You can put a little jacket in your
Speaker 1: duffer real quick. Boom you good, Oh hoodie, you don't
Speaker 1: need much. You used to the colde you played in Denver,
Speaker 1: you played in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: What that was twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to save you on your traveling expenses,
Speaker 1: not only expenses, but being able to travel efficient in light.
Speaker 1: Two pair, yeah, same sweatsuit. Matter fact, you have a
Speaker 1: black sweatsuit and a great one and you get those
Speaker 1: are interchangeable and you just change the shoes A pair
Speaker 1: of white Air Force ones and a pair of black ones.
Speaker 2: I got white Air Force ones and that's it, and
Speaker 2: go with everything. That's why the outfits probably the outfits,
Speaker 2: I don't know. They probably stand up in the corner
Speaker 2: by themselves when I take them off.
Speaker 1: Listen. It works, though, it works, it works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I hate going to I just want to
Speaker 2: come out of their port and hop right into the
Speaker 2: car and I'm off. I don't want to stand around
Speaker 2: bague claim and I mean fan, I want to say this.
Speaker 2: If you see a person standing around back claim dode,
Speaker 2: ask them what they're doing. If that's who you standing
Speaker 2: around baggage claim, what do you think? I think you
Speaker 2: do it on shoe?
Speaker 1: Wait on my bag?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What are you doing here? Yeah? I can't, I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't get some crap.
Speaker 1: Just trying to start a little conversation. Really not know.
Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing? Hey, Hey, oh Joe, how you doing? Man?
Speaker 2: I'll be watching that cam man. You y'all be going crazy. Man,
Speaker 2: y'all be going half with that thing. I love that show.
Speaker 2: You don't blow I love don't come on this.
Speaker 1: Be nervous. You got to understand that people be nervous.
Speaker 2: Oh, lordy, I tell you. The dude asks me out
Speaker 2: in the strip, Joe, Man, what you doing here? Same
Speaker 2: thing you doing here? Look at that? Who are now?
Speaker 2: What I'm doing here? That's what you're doing here? What
Speaker 2: the hell? What what do you think I'm doing? Ain't
Speaker 2: no basket, ain't no morning.
Speaker 1: Bad going right right right right? So you're there for
Speaker 1: the who hot in the wings?
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, brought it? Yeah, man, Hey, yeah, man, Hey

Speaker 2: not the time you try to distract me. Hey, hey, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: Honey on the stage, bro't god of hend up by now, tiny,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at honey right now.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm looking at. Amber Amber up next coming
Speaker 5: to the stage one, stage three, devastation, Yeah, honeye devastation.
Speaker 1: You never seen the devastation. Yeah, it's one. It's one name. Devastation. Boy.
Speaker 1: She known worldwide.
Speaker 2: They called it chocolate carmel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah me that throwback, that's throw back.
Speaker 2: The Bucks beat the Lakers by twenty six. That's three
Speaker 2: three straight losses. The three teams behind them in the
Speaker 2: standings are all riding winning streets. Houston four games, Golden
Speaker 2: State five games, Minnesota six games, big trip tomorrow to
Speaker 2: end the road trip en Denver back to back, the
Speaker 2: Lakers wasted an outstanding and outstanding performance by Luka Dantic.
Speaker 2: Luca is the youngest Laker to play, the youngest Lakers
Speaker 2: player to have forty five points ten rebounds in a
Speaker 2: game since nineteen sixty two. Oh, forty five, Magic had
Speaker 2: What did Magic have in that playoff game? Ash? But
Speaker 2: in forty two he might have had forty two. But anyway,
Speaker 2: he's the youngest Laker to have forty five points ten
Speaker 2: rebounds in the game since nineteen sixty two. Them tonight,
Speaker 2: the show was the guys that can score, they don't
Speaker 2: really defend very well. Luca and Ar. Guys that can
Speaker 2: defend can't score the ball. Phinni Smith Vanderbilt. That's the
Speaker 2: issue that you had. The Luca played, Luca and Ar
Speaker 2: played extremely well. Nobody else did much, and that's the
Speaker 2: problem that you're gonna have. They got crushed on the
Speaker 2: Magic had forty two to fifteen. Okay, the Lakers shot
Speaker 2: forty four percent from the floor. They allowed the Milwauke
Speaker 2: to shoot forty eight. They shot thirty percent from the three.
Speaker 2: They'll allowed the Bucks to shoot forty three turnover where
Speaker 2: it wasn't that differential, wasn't that vast? Fourteen for the Lakers,
Speaker 2: twelve for the Bucks. They did get out rebinding by
Speaker 2: ten on the offensive glass. But look, and that's the
Speaker 2: problem that you're gonna have right now. They're scrambling, they're undersized.
Speaker 2: I like I said again, and I don't like to
Speaker 2: beat a dead horse. But I don't know why they
Speaker 2: signed Alex Linn's he's he's, I mean, he big for
Speaker 2: no reason. I mean, I mean probably than God. Thinking like, man,
Speaker 2: if I know you was gonna be like this, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't give you all this night. Ain't no sis. But
Speaker 2: he pretty soon he about to be the tallest coach ever.
Speaker 2: That that's where you're headed. That's that's his next.
Speaker 1: I don't want, I don't want to talk bad about him.
Speaker 1: Maybe he just hasn't come into his own yet. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's lacking a little bit of confidence having that type
Speaker 1: of size, that type of length, and to be playing
Speaker 1: in the NBA, you have to be of some some
Speaker 1: type of use. You know, I haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 1: but listen, I know I saw for myself the no
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes Knight, no Lebron, no RUI. I think the
Speaker 1: game would have been a little bit more competitive, obviously
Speaker 1: if the Lakers was healthy. Obviously Luca did all he
Speaker 1: could do. But as you said, those that score can't
Speaker 1: play defense, and those who play defense, they can't god
Speaker 1: damn score. So not having Lebron his hurt. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like this for the next week or
Speaker 1: two until he can get himself back back in. Hello, Luke,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do his best. Luke's gonna have
Speaker 1: to do his best and carry the load as much
Speaker 1: as he can, and hopefully, you know, the supporting cast
Speaker 1: can have knights. Those that can score can have knights
Speaker 1: when they're on and be a little bit more efficient
Speaker 1: and pick up the slack being that Lebron is not there.
Speaker 2: You look at Luca. They scored one hundred and six points,
Speaker 2: So Joe, Luca gave you forty five. Oster Reed gave
Speaker 2: you twenty eight. That's seventy.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: They got thirty. They got thirty three one, two, three, four, five, six,
Speaker 2: seven eight nine. The nine other players scored thirty three points.
Speaker 2: One guy scored teening, so that means they got twenty
Speaker 2: three from the other eight. And now you look at
Speaker 2: you look at the Bucks Giannis with assist a way
Speaker 2: from a triple double twenty four, twelve and nine, Brook
Speaker 2: Lopez twenty three, Dame twenty two, Kevin Porter Junior twenty two,
Speaker 2: Gary Trent Junior sixteen. When you get that kind of production,
Speaker 2: when you get that kind of ballot scoring and the
Speaker 2: scoring is so lopsided on the other side, well that's
Speaker 2: kind of what you're gonna get. You're gonna get a
Speaker 2: situation where you get blown out. And like we said,
Speaker 2: we were talking about it at the top O Joe,
Speaker 2: those that can score don't defend. Those that can't. Those
Speaker 2: that can defend can't score. So what do you do
Speaker 2: you I mean, they would have literally had to play
Speaker 2: a perfect game. Oh, Luca and Luca and Ar give
Speaker 2: you what they gave you. But other guys who are
Speaker 2: gonna have to knock down shots. I mean, Luca can't
Speaker 2: play any better. I mean some of the shots that
Speaker 2: he was hitting you lot, damn, damn. And they got
Speaker 2: the game within what two three, And next thing you know,
Speaker 2: the Bucks go on a ten oh run or twelve
Speaker 2: over run and push it back to fourteen. The Lakers
Speaker 2: clawed back. They go on fifteen fifteen to two fifteen
Speaker 2: three run and push it back out and then the
Speaker 2: Lakers can get no close than no closer than that.
Speaker 2: It's just Lebron could not have and it's not his fault.
Speaker 2: So I don't want people to say, oh, Shaid like
Speaker 2: you could help, but lebron injury could not have come
Speaker 2: at a time o Jo this is I mean, they
Speaker 2: got they were playing extremely well and and then he
Speaker 2: gets hurt. Now what do you do? And I said
Speaker 2: this at the time, I do not believe they're gonna
Speaker 2: be a second place. They're not gonna be a second place.
Speaker 2: They gotta hope they can hold this thing off and
Speaker 2: not get get in the play yet, which is seven
Speaker 2: through ten, because they got an uphill climb. They got
Speaker 2: the Nuggets tomorrow. They got ther Nuggets, the Nuggets tomorrow. Now,
Speaker 2: Brook Lopez had twenty three. What the hell you think
Speaker 2: yoke gonna do?
Speaker 1: Well, Listen, it don't matter who Yo playing. He gonna
Speaker 1: get twenty nine to thirty each night, regardless he listened.
Speaker 1: Yo could be playing the goddamn five Disciples on the court.
Speaker 1: He gonna go. He gonna get his points no matter what.
Speaker 1: For some reason, I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised,
Speaker 1: as Gres as good as Differences been playing all year long,
Speaker 1: and despite the Lakers not having Lebron watch, they shock
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. For some reason, Wash the Lakers shock you tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and just so happened to stumble up on a wind
Speaker 1: despite the Broun not playing, Lucas probably gonna hapen good game.
Speaker 2: Ar Luca needed to go for seventy, Luca would needed
Speaker 2: to go for seventy, Era need to go for thirty five,
Speaker 2: and then the other guys need to.
Speaker 1: Go for thirty. And you know, don't be surprised if
Speaker 1: it happened. I'm not saying it because because I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the way sports goes in general, for
Speaker 1: some reason, always happens like that. They they've lost three
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they played Denver, you're expect
Speaker 1: them to lose, especially those that like the gamble, they
Speaker 1: mess around and win Themorrow night watch. Now watch what
Speaker 1: I take.
Speaker 2: I would have looked had they not gotten blown out
Speaker 2: last night by Minnesota, I might have agreed with you, Ojo,
Speaker 2: I might have agreed with you. But because they got
Speaker 2: blown out at home by Minnesota, I don't see that happening.
Speaker 2: Mike Malona have them very focused. That left a nasty
Speaker 2: taste in their mouths. They know whatout all. I mean,
Speaker 2: they let a man go off, Julior j Randall went
Speaker 2: off and they got beat by almost twenty on their
Speaker 2: home court. They'll be fired up. That crowd will be rocking.
Speaker 2: And if you know that, if you watch this team
Speaker 2: over the last four to five years, they get up
Speaker 2: like no other.
Speaker 1: They play the Lakers, Okay.
Speaker 2: They get up to play the Lakers. The Lakers are
Speaker 2: everybody's championship. I mean, especially the Nuggets. Some teams you
Speaker 2: get up to play for, like now it's Kansas City,
Speaker 2: used to be the Patriots. Everybody play their bests when
Speaker 2: they playing the Cowboys. That's what the Lakers are up
Speaker 2: against now. And I expected the Nuggets to put their
Speaker 2: best foot forward. I expect them to play some of
Speaker 2: their best ball because they're ticked off that they let
Speaker 2: Minnesota come in there and do what they did to
Speaker 2: them last night. Oh man, But yeah, it's tough, I mean,
Speaker 2: and they were playing so well, o Joe. The Lakers
Speaker 2: had been playing extremely well Luca and Lebron had started
Speaker 2: to figure it out. Luca was gonna have the ball
Speaker 2: in his hands. Lebron was gonna dive and slash to
Speaker 2: the basket, gonna get to the post up he posts
Speaker 2: up at the top of the key post up on
Speaker 2: the side. Now he can see over. The assist totals
Speaker 2: were really high because you got two of the best
Speaker 2: passes and NBA history with the ball in their hands.
Speaker 2: A large part Ar takes a little pressure off Ar
Speaker 2: because now your two best defenders gotta guard Lebron and Luca.
Speaker 2: So now Ar is getting your third or fourth best defender.
Speaker 2: He's gonna do what he does. So everything had really
Speaker 2: really started to go well, and then just like that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, honestly, it'especially the same thing that
Speaker 1: happened happened to Dallas. You know, everybody crushed the trade.
Speaker 1: They look they look deep, they look good, they look decent.
Speaker 1: For a little bit, eighty goes down. Okay, we still
Speaker 1: got Kyrie, we got something to lift to live off of.
Speaker 1: We got some hope. We still got a superstar that
Speaker 1: can put busts in the seasaid at least get the
Speaker 1: musical attention right, he goes down.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 1: So the Lakers looked like the trade that they had.
Speaker 1: It was winning. Lebron playing well, Luca playing well. They're
Speaker 1: going on a winning streak. Luca sean flashes of what
Speaker 1: he used to be. Then he's scoring thirty. He cutting
Speaker 1: the food, Lebron cutting the food. Some of the presses
Speaker 1: off of him. He don't have to the ball up
Speaker 1: the court. He can. He can play freely, take over
Speaker 1: a game when he wants to. Now he go down. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's sports, baby, that's what makes the game so beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes o Yo, you gotta you gotta laugh to
Speaker 2: keep man.
Speaker 1: That's a good one right there, Boy, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: You gotta laugh.
Speaker 1: The Lakers know the Lakers use right now, who ever
Speaker 1: the whoever the triple double in high school.
Speaker 2: Nobody ain't nobody out there can help the Lakers right now.
Speaker 1: Boy, you ain't never seen me put the ball on
Speaker 1: the floor. Now, but you never see my rings game.
Speaker 1: You ain't never seen me come off, come off the
Speaker 1: pick and roll and pull up.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Man, you don't play Oh so you you
Speaker 2: you could pick him, I could.
Speaker 1: Pick him pop, but I could I can pick up
Speaker 1: Pop better than better than the stripple. I'll tell you no, lie.
Speaker 2: Uh that's yeah. It's like I said, you look at
Speaker 2: Houston's playing well, you look at Minnesota's playing well, Golden
Speaker 2: State's playing well. Since there since the addition of Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 2: the Lakers were and as good as those teams were playing,
Speaker 2: the Lakers were playing better. But it just so happens
Speaker 2: sometimes injuries happened at the most nd opportunity times, and
Speaker 2: hopefully you have a team that's good enough to overcome,
Speaker 2: that can keep the ship steady until said player comes
Speaker 2: back or said play ERDs come back. But in this case,
Speaker 2: it's really one Yeah, we'd love to get Rui back.
Speaker 2: We love to get Jackson Hayes back. But the one
Speaker 2: guy that you could you could ill afford to lose
Speaker 2: if Ron James, because he's a guy that does a
Speaker 2: lot of what kind of like when you got here, Luca,
Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna give you fifty to sixty points
Speaker 2: between the two of them. They're gonna give you somewhere
Speaker 2: between eighteen and twenty rebounds between the two of them,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna probably give you twenty assists between the
Speaker 2: two of them. So you count. You can count on that.
Speaker 2: Now Austere Reeves gives you what he gives you, which
Speaker 2: is somewhere between eighteen and twenty points given on a
Speaker 2: likely basis. Ruy Chips saying, if you're his fourteen. Now,
Speaker 2: whatever we get from uh uh Phinney Smith, whatever we
Speaker 2: get from Gabe Benson, we take it. We know Jackson
Speaker 2: Hay is gonna roll, gonna get some, gonna get some,
Speaker 2: give him some second chance opportunities. We know he's gonna
Speaker 2: roll to the basket, dive to the basket, catch a
Speaker 2: couple of lobs, get a couple of you know, put backs.
Speaker 2: Right now, we don't really have that. We don't have that.
Speaker 2: We don't have a big uh. We're playing undersize. Giannis
Speaker 2: is just getting whatever he wants, getting to the basket,
Speaker 2: uh Brook Lopez getting off his rebounds, getting whatever he wants.
Speaker 2: So it was really a tough night. The effort. I
Speaker 2: don't think I don't think JJ is gonna be really
Speaker 2: pleased with the effort. There's a lot of times Kevin
Speaker 2: Porter Junior hit three I think three straight threes in
Speaker 2: the UH in the third quarter. I mean, I mean
Speaker 2: wide open shoot around threes. Can't have that. They gotta
Speaker 2: they've gotta be better. They gotta be locked in. And
Speaker 2: guy's gotta know their responsibility, and and and and and
Speaker 2: and and close out without filing, and they got to
Speaker 2: get the ball. Wants the ball go. Your job is
Speaker 2: not done once the guy missed the shot. Your job
Speaker 2: is done once you grab the rebound. Because if he
Speaker 2: misses the shot, you don't grab the rebound, what have
Speaker 2: you actually done. It's kind of like, Oh Joe, when
Speaker 2: you and I talk about on third down, you get
Speaker 2: a team the third down. If you can't get him
Speaker 2: off the field, what good is getting them to turn down?
Speaker 1: Listen, if they get if they get a third down
Speaker 1: and they.
Speaker 2: They keep doing it, they're gonna get the ball in.
Speaker 2: That's yes, it's extremely demoralizic, but uh, the Lakers gotta
Speaker 2: find a way to do something. And I don't know if.
Speaker 2: Like I said, Lebron is probably gonna be out for
Speaker 2: at least another week. The probably the earliest you could
Speaker 2: expect to see Lebron James is probably next weekend. And
Speaker 2: there's a good chance, Oh Jo, they could be in
Speaker 2: the seventh of the eighth spot by then.
Speaker 1: They really unless something drastically happened. Like I said, especially
Speaker 1: starting starting tomorrow night, they just happen to win. Even
Speaker 1: though you say how teams get up to play the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling just with with understanding of
Speaker 1: how sports work, regardless of what regards what the sport is,
Speaker 1: whether it be soccer, whether it be football, whether it
Speaker 1: be basketball, tennis. But it's just for some reason where
Speaker 1: things are. When you think about a team that's playing,
Speaker 1: they're not playing well, they have a star that's going
Speaker 1: for some reason, the team always plays well against a
Speaker 1: team that you just know they're gonna lose too, and
Speaker 1: they just spot you. I really have a feeling. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. So people out there, if you, if you,
Speaker 1: if you're a gambler, I really would pick the Lakers
Speaker 1: and win tomorrow despite it being Denver, despite with Joker
Speaker 1: and Murray are doing.
Speaker 2: I just think so, yeah, I might be I might
Speaker 2: pick the Lakers if somebody else's money, but if it's
Speaker 2: my money, I'm picking the Lakers because I value my
Speaker 2: money a little bit more than that. But that being said,
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. I'll be hey, Milwaukee, you know
Speaker 2: you're gonna get in late tonight to Denver, and you
Speaker 2: got to you know, you got to shoot around tomorrow
Speaker 2: and then you know, you go back, get your nap,
Speaker 2: and then hopefully, you know, you put your best foot
Speaker 2: forward and see what happens. But I'm not I'm not
Speaker 2: overly confidence that they're competent, that they're gonna be able
Speaker 2: to pull this out.
Speaker 1: The volume m
