Jerry West demanding a retraction, saying that 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: winning time is here. Hold on, I gotta get the 27 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: exact quote. They're portraying him as an out of control, 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: intoxicated ray Jel Hollick. If if I was Jerry, I'd 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: be upset. Bro Yeah, if I was Jerry, if I'm 30 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: now we're not like, I'm not talking about Ryan Hollins here. 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: He's the logo. Yeah, we're talking about the logo. Like 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: the logo, Yo, the logo. I can't look at the 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: love of the same. Like, if I'm Jerry, I'm I'm 34 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm upset, I'm upset, I'm feeling some type of way. 35 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: It's not a documentary though, Yeah, but you know, like today, 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: like people are gonna be like this is true. Everyone else, 37 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: it's based in reality. Yeah, stuments Hold I mean it 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: makes me think doctor Buss is way cool. He seems 39 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: like an innovator. He's got some beautiful women on on 40 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: standby all the time. He's a winner. I think everything 41 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: about the show is fantastic. HBO's best show in quite 42 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: some time. And producers spot you were saying before that 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: Kareem is also on board with the complaints. Now, yeah, 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: well Kareem has a different complaint. He's saying that he's like, 45 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: there's one rule, there's an ammutable law in television, and 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: that's don't be boring. And he insists that the show 47 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: has boring writing and is boring. He thinks it's dull. 48 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: He's so wrong. I mean, maybe Kareem was like, man, 49 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: it was a little more spicy. It is true. That 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: is true, and that was before it came out. Man, Yeah, 51 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: Magic said to ignore it. I'm listening. I'm not even 52 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: a West Coast Lakers fan. A lot of you guys 53 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: are because you live out here on the West Side 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: your whole life. You if you grew up in the eighties, seventies, nineties, 55 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're glued to this. Because I'm glued to it, 56 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: and I'm an East Coast guy. You feel like you're 57 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: a fly on the wall, like with all this stuff 58 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: going on, like you feel like you're a fly on 59 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 1: the wall. But even if it's not based on you know, reality, 60 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: you just have that feel like, yeah, this is what happened, 61 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: like it went down exactly. It's like this, it was 62 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: a different time. People were living it up man and 63 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: by the way, out of control, intoxicated Ridge Hollick. The 64 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: more Jerry West complains, isn't he sort of reinforcing that? 65 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: That's what all the tweets were saying last night. The 66 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: first tweet I saw last night said, I don't fff 67 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: and talk like that Jerry West watching Winning Time? It's 68 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: not me, that's if that, Yeah, Jerry West. They do 69 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: make them look like a little bit of a man. 70 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: I would if I were Jerry, I'd be upset. I'd 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: be upset it. Shoot, if you were Scottie Pippen watching 72 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: the Last Dance upset that hurt? Yeah, yeah, man, here's 73 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: what you know. I think this Winning Time is a 74 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: little different. But you know what is people don't I 75 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: was a history major that you say, they don't realize 76 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: think about what history means. His story, like his story, 77 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: like you're you're gonna if we all all three of us, right, yeah, 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: we come off the show and afterwards, someone asked us, 79 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: how was the show? What happened? We would all have 80 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: our own stories. Now we're all likely gonna liign, but 81 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: we all have our stories. If there's something that breaks 82 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: out a problem, everyone's gonna have their own stories. It's like, 83 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: isn't there a show coming out on ABC? It's like 84 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: there's two sides to every story. Who's who's telling the truth? 85 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: What's the old saying? Or there's three sides? Your side, 86 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: their side, and the truth. Well, this show is fantastic 87 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: and it just I think it hits on everything, the 88 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: whole vibe of the eighties, the way it shot and everything. 89 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: If you're not watching Winning Time, I think it's a 90 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: must watch. And the one takeaway. The one takeaway is 91 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people realize there might 92 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: be the biggest what if. When I say what's the 93 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: biggest what if? In sports history? Would you possibly say? 94 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: What if Drew bledsoe never got hurt with Tom Brady? 95 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: Even be Tom Brady? Oh is that you got me 96 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: on a spot here? As far as what is there 97 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: have been there have been a lot of like, hey, 98 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: what if this unfortunate this guy didn't pass away, or 99 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: this guy didn't get hurt early. If Bo Jackson never 100 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: got here, you know, if certain things happened, if Tyson 101 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: would have fought Buster in the United States, yes, what 102 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: would have what would have happened there? Would have got 103 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: knocked out? Oh my god? Yeah, of course. But I 104 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: think what we learned here and dannyj we you and 105 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: I talked about this on our Sunday Night show. Jack 106 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: McKinney basketball genius coaches the Lakers fourteen games, falls off 107 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: a bicycle, weird freak accident, never coaches again. Would there 108 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: have been a pat Riley? Would there have been that 109 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: path for the Lakers if it looked like if McKinney 110 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: stayed healthy and didn't have a freak accident. Na, it 111 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: clearly didn't look at like it. But I mean, there 112 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: is a level where if we're just assuming the reality 113 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: in winning time that pat Riley was going to get 114 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: back into the game of basketball one way or another, 115 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: it just would have been a different path. I was 116 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: talking about this with Gilbert Arenas yesterday. I did his 117 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: five shout out to Gilbert and Joe Sign are doing 118 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: amazing job over there and no chill podcasts when you're 119 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: a first round pick, like a high pick, you're kind 120 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: of slated to be like a franchise, like a guy. 121 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: But like when you're a second round pick, your path 122 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: is to not be that guy. So yeah, as far 123 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: as someone falling off a bike, a big opportunity comes, 124 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: like everyone's not ready for that opportunity, but sometimes you 125 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: may not get it or may take a whole lot 126 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: longer before it comes around. Was pat Riley equipped, Yes, 127 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: but he may have had to go somewhere else. But 128 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: you go from Lakers to Knicks, you know, like you 129 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: are to heat, like you are going to these storied 130 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: franchises for a reason. Now, before we get into what's 131 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: going on in the NBA today in twenty twenty two, 132 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs are happening, let me ask you one last 133 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: thing about winning time hounds. You see how Magic Johnson 134 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: as a rookie and Joel you saw this same with 135 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: Danny j You guys chime in as well. In an 136 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: NBA locker room, if the first round pick, if it's 137 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: a Magic Johnson, or when when Lebron entered the league 138 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: or when Zion like when I when a generational talent 139 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: enters the league, are they still treated like the rook 140 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: or do they have a little extra clout going in 141 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: because they come with such such hope to save the 142 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: frame chise like, but they make it seem like magic. 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: Johnson was the rookie, but to some he was admired, 144 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: but like guys like Kareem in the show, didn't embrace 145 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: him right away. Completely different NBA, completely like how we 146 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: talked about earlier, like our parents generational generation, so that 147 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: NBA was full of grown adult men who you know, 148 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: they did their jobs and you didn't want to knock 149 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: him off. A guy with Kareem was Kareem till he 150 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: was forty, like that was it and that that was 151 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: a norm. Now in today's NBA, the organization puts power 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: in the youth. They understand like, hey, if I can 153 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: get you know, twenty years of service fifteen years of 154 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: service out of this guy and playing at a high 155 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: level and he's good at twenty one or twenty two, 156 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: that's worth it to go all the way through. So 157 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: you know, you're an old man at thirty year an 158 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: old man at twenty eight. Like especially they might tell 159 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: the basketball they might tell the veteran like you'll back 160 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: off because like NBA wise, yeah, but NFL tom Brady 161 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: keeps being Tom Brady, but you breathe and drew brief 162 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 1: from it, like a lot of those guys last, you're 163 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily coming in as the next hope. But NBA wise, 164 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: it is different now like if magic, because magic would 165 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: be getting bread off top, like magic would be paid 166 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: coming in. And that's a different conversation when you know 167 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: that young boy has a different has that type that 168 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: you know, that type of power. Now, let's fast forward 169 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: twenty two years later from not two thousand, actually from 170 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: the eighties, like forty years later. Let's go to the 171 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenties. We all think that the eighties were. I 172 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: think the eighties were twenty years twenty years ago. No, 173 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: not twenty years ago. Yeah, when you when you think 174 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy something, I go thirty years ago. Now the nineties. 175 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk about NBA playoffs. Now, how on earth Hollins 176 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: I heard I heard Monty do the update we all 177 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: watched last night. Sons lost a team that's ten games 178 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: under five hundred. The Pelicans were thirty six and forty six. 179 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: Can can a team make noise when throughout the sea 180 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: and they played sub five? You know, you always heard 181 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: me talk about this when it came to the NBA playoffs. 182 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: You know why this, why that, why that. It's all 183 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: about matchups. It's all about matchups. And you have to understand. 184 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: I play with Willie Green. He's doing a fantastic job 185 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: over their New Orleans as their head coach. He was 186 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: on Monty's bench. That's the worst nightmare ever for Monty 187 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: because you have someone that knows your system, knows the 188 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: ins and outs, and he has a hungry team on 189 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: the other side. So now he's gonna have to have 190 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: a real chess match because Willie knows exactly what coach Monty. 191 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: William's over with the Sons is saying in the locker room, 192 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: that is your that is your worst fear. Okay, that's 193 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: like like like like my first, my worst fear. It's 194 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: like you and Capino breaking up, and then you guys 195 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: are competing shows and it's like he knows the secret 196 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: to the sauce. Like right, that's kind of yeah, this 197 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: is somewhat Monty having to see this is you coaching 198 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: against Covino somewhat. So two people have been together through 199 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: the years. I wouldn't say two of the years but enough, okay, now, right, 200 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: take me inside the locker room, Hollands where we look 201 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: at it as fans and say, here's a one seed 202 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: team that if you put a towel on, bro jeez, 203 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: oh yeah, if you're in the locker room, put a 204 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: towel on. Don't don't make me insecure. If if if 205 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: you're a player, you're not looking at it the way 206 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: fans are, right, because a fan will say, this is 207 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: a Phoenix Suns team that had by far the best 208 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: record in the West and they're playing a ten game 209 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: under five hundred team. If the Sun's got this. When 210 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: you're an NBA talent, you don't think a crap like that, right, 211 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: You're if you're on the Pelicans, you're thinking we could 212 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: do this. Yeah, you're you're in the locker room saying 213 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: go attack them. They have everything to lose, Make them 214 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: sweat and see who they are in the fourth quarter. 215 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: And we have some matchups that we like. So in 216 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: terms of the Pelicans, you know, Larry Nanz Junior is 217 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: a big piece. You know Herb Jones, you know Dave Griffin, 218 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: my former GM with the with the Cavaliers, and an 219 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: excellent job of assembling talent, so they have length that 220 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: they can throw at Devin Booker they got an absolute dog, 221 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: and Brandon Ekram they got a dog. And c J McCullum. 222 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: So they're going like it's Chris, Paul and and and 223 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: Um Booker versus c J and b. I we like 224 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: those odds. We like that wild mattress. And then we 225 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: have bodies and lyft to throw at Booker and at Chris. 226 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: And you're gonna make Chris work. And you know, Chris 227 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: and Willie are really good friends. We were all in 228 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: the Clippers together. Those two have kept up obviously during 229 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: the years he was on a coaching staff and with him, 230 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: so he knows Chris like no other. So like this 231 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: is Covino, this, he knows his sauce. Rich, you're going 232 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: out to give out the sauce. And no, I know 233 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: Rich is gonna say this, this, and this. I know 234 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: Rich likes to run across the move. Just just start 235 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: up a conversation. Rich can't hold back. He's gonna jump 236 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: in the cover. He knows all your bait moves, bro. 237 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: So so that's one of the that's one of the 238 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: unspoken intangibles in sports that the fans don't really know 239 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: much about like if guys know each other on that level. Matchups. Yeah, 240 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: it's like you're if you're a UFC or a boxing fan. 241 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes it's matchups, right, you don't want to fight sport. Really, 242 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: if you two had the same trainer, you're gonna have 243 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: to pick a different trainer. He knows you're weak, he 244 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: knows you don't have a left hand. I love any 245 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: other any other NBA playoff surprises for you so far. Uh, 246 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: it didn't surprise me that the Grizzlies bounce back. You know, 247 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: John Morant had a you know, had a huge chip 248 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: on his shoulder. You know, he plus minus was amazing 249 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: in the game, near triple Deubler performance, and you know, 250 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: he did what he needed to do. And I think 251 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: that's gonna be one of the more exciting series. Is 252 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: because the Timberwolves are man, that's a stack team. They're 253 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: up and coming talent, and they have a big three 254 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: that compete, can compete with the league's best. And you know, 255 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: obviously the Heat doing their thing. Jimmy Butler went off. 256 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise me, Jim Jimmy Butler's just a big 257 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: game guy. Okay, So you expect and this is why 258 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: you love the NBA playoffs, because that's that's how you 259 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: grade people, if that makes sense. Of course, I can't 260 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: grade you in the regular You're not gonna see real Lebron, 261 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: real Jimmy. You're gonna see these guys in the playoffs, 262 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: and you're gonna see why they are who they are 263 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: when all the marbles are on the line. And that's 264 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: that's the exciting part about what we're seeing when you 265 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: look at Jah. Now. I know that this story is 266 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: so far from being written, but as of right now, 267 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: does it look like Job was the picking set of 268 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: Zion or do you feel like Zion bounces back like 269 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: you feel like you feel like moving forward next year 270 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: and beyond, we're gonna see Zion and it just took 271 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: a little time. Man. Zion is gonna have to show 272 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: that he's healthy, show that he's a part of the NBA. 273 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: He's missed a lot of time, so pretty I'm pretty 274 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: sure a couple of years ago, because you and I've 275 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: worked together over the years, I think you were all 276 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: about Job early on, if I remember correctly, there was 277 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: just so many questions marks with Zion, and I think 278 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: that the consensus through the league. Nobody wants to see 279 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: him do bad. I think everybody wants to see Zion 280 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: do well. But you had those worries and unfortunately, like 281 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: they kind of came true, and I think was intriguing. 282 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: We just talked about the Pelicans. They have Zion Williams 283 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: and to what you're already saying, it's a great matchup. 284 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: Imagine if he was involved. You have Zion Williamson on 285 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: that roster. I'm not saying this is gonna be you know, playing. Yeah, 286 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is a Ryan Leaf Peyton Manning one. 287 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't work out for one and one's 288 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: one of the greatest of all time. But I remember 289 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: at that time everyone was like, who's that. There were 290 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: people that said, I don't know if Zion you know, 291 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna stay healthy. And I think what got confusing 292 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: is because his buzz was so high that you had 293 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: to go, oh, Lebron, oh, you know Kobe oh, like 294 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, like he was gonna and and that's what confused. 295 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: But I think you see his talent, you see his ability, 296 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: and it's like, just get healthy and get on the court. 297 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: That's that's where people are with it. But I think 298 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: the the Lebron when you're that guy like you're gonna 299 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: get the Lebron comparisons, I think they've gone. And I 300 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: think you just want to him on the floor. And 301 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: I hope him seeing his team develop and grow and 302 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: play at this really really high level just inspires him. 303 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: Our buddy Matt just hit us up on Twitter, said, Hollands, 304 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: I love it, giveing my wolve some love. Then the 305 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: ki goes, yo, are they really in the come up? Hollins, 306 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Hey man, they are, And I think it is dangerous 307 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: to the Pelicans and this is the place that they 308 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: wanted to be in. And I think the loudest because 309 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: here's the deal, With all due respect, you saw Anthony 310 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: Davis kind of never get over the hump in New Orleans, 311 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: and the fear was that Zion would be in a 312 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: similar situation. He would not have help. Those questions would 313 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: be there. Now, you can't look at it Rich and 314 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: be like dude, like it's like going to a party 315 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: and you feel like, oh, I'm the coolest person at 316 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: the party. You know, maybe I should leave. Maybe goes 317 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: All of a sudden that party started looking real cool 318 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: and you're already talking about leaving. Let's get out of here. 319 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: It's like, maybe I'll stay. So hopefully Zion is seeing 320 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: that party in New Orleans is getting pretty cool, pretty exciting. 321 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: You don't need to le bro. I agree with that 322 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: because I saw Zion play before he got hurt with 323 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: against Minnesota. Actually, and you remember, I know it's foggy now, 324 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: but they were really trying. They really had a problem 325 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: fitting Zion into a position that started running him at 326 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: the point, and against Minnesota he played all point and 327 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: they still lost the game. So I think that right 328 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: now Zion could come in and mess up the chemistry 329 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: that's already form. You Layton, if you just want some 330 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: good athletic play and some good points, you know someone 331 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: on ones, he's there for you. But as far as 332 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: fitting in Henna, he's gonna he's gonna have to fit, 333 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: you know. You know, winning solves all problems for a city, 334 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: right Like Golden State was no one cared about, and 335 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they win. Fans kids wearing 336 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: Steph Curry jerseys. Same with Seattle Seahawks, right they were 337 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: like the most boring team in the NFL. RUSS comes 338 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: in there if they get a new uniform, new new uniform, 339 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: new stadium, and all of a sudden, the seattle was hot, right. 340 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: I think New Orleans. I've been down there. I've talked 341 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: to you know, you talked to you talk to people 342 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: that live there, and you talk to like your Uber drivers, 343 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: and you know what's a vibe here? Everyone's about the 344 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: Saints lsu all. I was like, yo, what about the Pelicans. 345 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: I think winning and a culture will will change that. 346 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: You get fans when you win, and you know, maybe 347 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: Zion will want to stay at this party. But Joel said, 348 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if he fits in at this party. 349 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, Um, hey, how about a 350 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: little message from Discover about customer service and common sense everybody. 351 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: When you have credit card questions, it's nice to have 352 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: them answered by a real, live person, you know, human 353 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: being who could actually understand your issues and work to 354 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: resolve them.

I say Tomato, I say stifle, you say Steeple. 375 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: Before we get to some more NBA stuff, I'd have 376 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: thought about no hitters in baseball and wondering if they 377 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: are going to become a thing of the past. I 378 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: know last year you're gonna say Rich you're full of it, 379 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: because last year there were nine no hitters, but of 380 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: the nine, seven of them were by one pitcher. The 381 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: other two were combinations, right allins in twenty nineteen, We're 382 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: gonna forget twenty twenty. That was the shortened COVID season. 383 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, four no hitters, two by one pitcher, 384 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: two by a combination of the bullpen. In twenty eighteen, 385 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: two no hitters, one combination, one pitcher. Yesterday, Max Shares 386 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: Are on the Mets was throwing a no no through 387 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: six and I knew deep down in time. I'm like, 388 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: there's no even no matter what, he's not going the 389 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: whole game. They pulled Kershaw weeks ago after seven innings 390 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: of perfect Baseball's it crazy to think that moving forward, 391 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: we may very very rarely see one pitcher pitch nine 392 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: innings of no hit baseball. I don't think. I think 393 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: it is going to be even more rare when analytics 394 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: come in. But I can't say that every organization is 395 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: going to take that mindset, because that's the Dodgers approach. 396 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: But when you have a guy that's hot, he's hot, 397 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: And I think you also understand that it's kind of 398 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: like the integrity of the game. Let him keep rolling, 399 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: Like in basketball, for a guy hasn't missed a shot, 400 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: You shoot until you miss, dude, Like you know what 401 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, and if he passes up a shot, 402 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: you're like, nah, get it back to him, because he's hot. 403 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: You just you fall into some of those zones where 404 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: you just can't miss. So guys carrying the ball five yards, 405 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: ten yards, you keep giving that guy the ball. Now, 406 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: Now baseball different because arm injuries. Right, we've seen this 407 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: happen before. Where I mean this year, I'm just saying, 408 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: guess this year, in this very short like we've played 409 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: like ten plus games, you saw Clayton Kershaw. I know 410 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: it was probably the right move, but seven innings of 411 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: perfect baseball he gets pulled And yesterday I'm glad it 412 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: didn't happen because it would have been the worst decision 413 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: for Buckshaw Walter Mets manager to make because this is 414 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: the third start of Scherzer's Mets career. The guy's getting 415 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: paid forty plus million dollars a year. Chile Day in Queens. 416 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: Do you really want this guy throwing one hundred and 417 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 1: twenty pitches, and then let's say he does and then 418 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: he gets hurt, then one it's I just feel like 419 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: more and more you're watching if five to six innings 420 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: is the standard now, and guys like Scherzer and Clayton 421 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: Kershaw of being pulled early. I don't know if anyone will. 422 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: We might see one complete game no hit or by 423 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: a pitcher this year. What really, because old thing, you 424 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: hit one hundred pitches. Everyone is so concerned about their 425 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: investments more than ever, and I think you're seeing a 426 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: lot more people say, oh, this guy was rushed back soon. 427 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: Look what happened this guy, Like they credit Johan Santana 428 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: his career was never the same after he pitched his 429 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: no hitter for the Mets, and they say it ruined him. So, 430 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think you're looking at a 431 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: situation where maybe the no hitter moving forward will be 432 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: a combination deal, like it's gonna be spot I think 433 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: it'll be like normal for a guy to go six 434 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: or seven, then the bullpen finishes it off, like, oh, 435 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: I'll get out a team no hitter. Is it possible 436 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: they're being a little bit more conservative at the start 437 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: of the season because of the shortened spring training. Yeah, 438 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: that that is a factor. But I maybe you know, 439 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: as as the weather gets warmer and there's more games 440 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: under their belt, it's possible. It's possible they'll let them 441 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: stay in more in there be more no hitters. I 442 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: just think you're gonna see the trend of I bet 443 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: you moving forward. Here's my lukewarm take is it's really 444 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: not that hot. My lukewarmtake is moving forward, Joel, no hitters, 445 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: more than fifty percent of them are gonna be joint efforts. 446 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: What guy, Danny g can you take up a guy Bueller, Fueller, Fueller, Feller, Kershaw, Scherzer, 447 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: Scritt call. Do you think any of these guys, unless 448 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: their pitch count of so low, do you see any 449 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: of them pitching a nine inning game unnecessarily. I feel 450 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: like the more we scream about this on the radio 451 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: and television, the more managers are gonna dig their heels 452 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: in and watch the numbers in. Yeah, it's analytics. And 453 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: the difference there with Kershaw is it was a perfect game. 454 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: That's only happened twenty one times in the modern era. 455 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: I know two times before they lifted the mound up. 456 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: So out of what over two hundred thousand MLB game games, 457 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: you have a chance to be, you know, the twenty 458 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: second modern perfect game. You gotta leave him. I agree. 459 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: I'll disagree though maybe as the the managers they as 460 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: soon as much as the fans park back, you know, 461 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna stick to their their guns. But you don't want. 462 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 1: You don't want to turn off your fan base. And 463 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: when your fan base starts to flip on you, or 464 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: you start getting boozed because the guy's getting put out 465 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: the game and you feel like you're about to be 466 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: a part of this magical performance, they're gonna hear that. 467 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: You don't want that negative you know, no fund zone 468 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: type of phil which baseball already kind of has. You 469 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: don't want that now because these things are it became 470 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: a national story. Yeah, you don't want to be that 471 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: team or that manager that is a part of that, 472 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: because that's gonna stick with it, no doubt. I just 473 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: know that it happens with all fan bases. Everyone's on 474 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: a group text with their buddies, right Like, if you're 475 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: whatever team you're root for, you probably have one or 476 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: two buddies at you're group texting, and I could see 477 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: it yesterday Sharzer gave up a hit in the six 478 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: or seventh yesterday, But up until that point, my buddy's like, Yo, 479 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: what do you think Buck Show Walter's gonna do? When 480 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, he's gonna pull him. What they pay this 481 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: guy forty million dollars a year or more. Shares has 482 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: got the biggest contract in baseball. It's a third game 483 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: of the season, it's chili and queens. What if what 484 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: if they kept him in pitches and no hitter then 485 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: he's not the same the rest of the year. Then 486 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: what a mistake that would look like? Right? And we 487 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: talked about earlier the cost of going to a game. 488 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: So for the people that are going to the games 489 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: and getting that excitement and being like, oh yeah, I 490 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: was at that game, I was at the no hitter game, 491 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: or I was at the perfect perfect game. You know 492 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get that draw or of having that 493 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: hope of being like, oh I was at a historic game. 494 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here's another thought. You know who might be 495 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: the next guy a pitch and will stay home, a 496 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: bottom of the rotation guy that just has a hot day, 497 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: because you know who you're likely as a manager to 498 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: keep in the game. Honestly, the back end of the 499 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: rotation guy. If you're if you're fifth starter who's average 500 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: is having a day. Hey, you keep him in and 501 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: he gets hurt, No one really cares compared to like, 502 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: you're not gonna want you know, Joe. Honestly, if you 503 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: if you're a fifth starter who's three and seven just 504 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: has a day, I gotta love you. You You always think 505 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: about the little man. Keep him in, give him his moment, 506 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: because it come on, all right, now we do are 507 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: we gonna be joined in a minute by by Chris 508 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: Mannox efforting, efforting, giving it a shot, all right, Well 509 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: until you find him your thoughts at eight seven, seven, 510 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: nine nine on Fox. It just it's so much has 511 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: changed in in sports over the years. Obviously football the 512 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: way the run game turned it to the pass heavy game. 513 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: In baseball when we were kids, I mean I sound 514 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 1: like an old guy when I say kids, I mean 515 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: like eighties and nineties and nineties. A guy with throw 516 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: seven plus innings or it would be considered an start. Joel, 517 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: you know, well, you know I personally, you know once again, 518 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: being a Detroit fan, Serzer is like a bad taste 519 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: in our mouth. So, by the way, Joel, I got it. 520 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: You my favorite Joel, take today off the air. He said. 521 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: Every time there's an NFL highlight of someone, it's always 522 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: them running or passing or catching an amazing place. It's 523 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: the play is always against the Lions. It's not hard 524 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: to find a highlight package. It's like, Okay, all these 525 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: wide receivers that don't want to play, watch the first 526 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: team they put them against in the highlight package. It's 527 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: the Lions. And it's always the Lions at home. That's funny. 528 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: But but your thought, Scherzer leaves a bad taste. So 529 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: he's got a he's so I would rather talk about 530 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: all the things you can't do with a tired arm. 531 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: Oh go get forty million. I'll tell you it's it's uh. 532 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see how no hitters happen 533 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: in the future, that's all. I just wonder if if 534 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: they if we're just gonna see a lot of combos 535 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: like yo, six innings, two relievers join effort. Everybody, All right, 536 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: let's let's go now to Chris Mannox, senior writer, Sports Illustrated, 537 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, NBA Insider what's going on, Chris, what's 538 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: going on? Guys, I'll tell you what's going on. We're talking. 539 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: I know it's not your sport of expertise, but no 540 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: hitters in baseball. I feel like might be might be 541 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: a joint effort moving forward. I don't know any picture 542 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: that's going nine anytime soon. Man. I wish I could 543 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: contribute to that, but my bandwidth is limited right now 544 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: to everything going on the NBA and some of what's 545 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: going on in boxing. Well, tell me tell me about 546 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: the NBA, man, What's what's your feel what's going on? 547 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,959 Speaker 1: I mean, it depends what series you're talking about. I mean, 548 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: I think Boston Brooklyn is as a potential to be 549 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: great later tonight. Tell me tell me your thoughts on 550 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: how Kyrie handled gay one. He got fined and everything. 551 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: But do you feel like that's past or you feel 552 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: like that's losing his cool? I mean, it is definitely 553 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of both attached to it. You know, 554 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: Kyrie's The relationship between Kyrie and Boston is a little 555 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: weird because you know, Celtics fans are furious with him 556 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: for going back on his word and defecting back in 557 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and nineteen when look, the reality is, he 558 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: wasn't happy in Boston. He had a chance to play 559 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: closer to home and play with one of his best 560 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: friends and Kevin Durant, and get a max contract. I mean, 561 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: if you equate that to what every one of us 562 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: does in our everyday life, we've probably done something along 563 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: those lines, something similar. So I never really understood the 564 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: venom that Boss experience. I also don't really understand why 565 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: Kyrie kind of lets it bother him as much as 566 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: it does. Mean, Kyrie had just as nasty as split 567 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: with Cleveland, you know before that, Yet it doesn't seem 568 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: like Cavaliers fans bother him anywhere near as much as 569 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: Boston fans do. And maybe that's because you know, in 570 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: the Northeast, they're a different breed of fan. Really, They're 571 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: they're an angry bunch. Yeah, did you all get riled up? 572 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: You ain't, kid and Chris, because I'm a I'm a 573 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: New York guy living in LA now and growing up Boston, Philly, 574 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: New York. Those sports fans are cut and Hollins, maybe 575 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: back me up, because you played around the league in 576 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: the NBA, cut from a different cloth to the northeast. 577 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: Boston is very different. Boston was a different place to play. 578 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: I remember my first interview in Boston. They're like, yeah, yeah, 579 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: you didn't do anything in Cleveland, what do you expect 580 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: to do here? I'm like, whoa, whoa, easy, guys, easy, Hey, Chris, 581 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this, How concerned are you with 582 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: Devin Booker's hamstring? Can can the Sons afford to sit 583 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: him out of game or two and get him healthy? 584 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: Or is this is this kind of like one of 585 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: those situations. Yeah, like we saw with Chris Paul where 586 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: he had to play and it is the irony that 587 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: it's not Chris and that it is Devin this time. Yeah, look, 588 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: you can't screw around with an injury that could get 589 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: measurably worse if you play through it, and a hamstring, 590 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: just like the calf injury Lucas dealing with and Dallas 591 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: are those types of injuries that being said, you're at 592 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: a dangerous point in the series. I mean New Orleans 593 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: is pretty good, like they're not, but they started off 594 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, three and seventeen or whatever they were. CJ. 595 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: McCollum just fits with that group like he has been 596 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: exactly what they've needed and more giving brandon ingram room 597 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: to do what he does. Herb Jones is excellent both 598 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: ends of the floor. So you know, without Devin Booker, 599 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: this is the coin flip type of series all of 600 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, you know where going back to New Orleans, 601 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: the Pelicans gotta believe they can win. So you know, 602 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: I would imagine Devin's could do whatever he can to 603 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: get back out there on the floor. But if he 604 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: can't play in some of these remaining games, the doors 605 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: wide open, I think for New Orleans to win. Now, 606 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: when you talk to different players around the NBA and Hollands, 607 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: you can chime in two when you played, guys take 608 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: what the fans say and think a little harder than others. 609 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: Or does some guys really have the ability to block 610 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: it out? And like you know, we talk about Kevin 611 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: Durant sensitive, Kyrie's letting this bother them. Are there guys 612 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: that do get consumed by social media the fans a 613 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: little more than others. Is that really a distraction or 614 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: is that just human nature? Well, I mean I think 615 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: in today's game, most guys get consumed on some level 616 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: by social media. I mean, you think about social media 617 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: is really only ten fifteen years old, at least the 618 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: modern version of it. So I don't know what Michael 619 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: Jordan would have felt if he was on Twitter back 620 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: in the mid nineteen nineties or you know, bird Magic 621 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: in the eighties. But look, you know that the alpha's 622 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: of this league, the Kevin Durant, the Kyrie Irvings, Lebron James, 623 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: they are very active on social media. They see everything, 624 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: you know. Stevo seven five nine says at them, you know, 625 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: all the time, and they do let it, they do 626 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: let it get to them, I think to some degree. 627 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: Now there are degrees of it for sure. I mean 628 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: some guys just shut it down and block it out 629 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: and don't go on there, which should be the advice 630 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: for most people. And they have burner accounts some guys. 631 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: Some guys have burner accounts. Some guys are are just 632 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: you know, overly engaged in it. I mean, I know 633 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: that coaching staffs, I can tell you they actively encourage 634 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: players to, at the very least during the playoffs staoff 635 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: social media. They are they explicitly say that to guys 636 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: because they know the kind of distraction it can be. Chris, 637 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on a spot a little bit 638 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: right now. Who has more pressure right now? Ben Simmons 639 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: or James Harden in these playoffs James hardened by a 640 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: country mile, I mean, James Harden. You know. Look, they're 641 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: in a great place right now up to ZIP. But 642 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: going into the series. You know I was writing about 643 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: and others were, I'm sure as well. You know the 644 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: predicament Philadelphia would be in if they got beat in 645 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: the first round and face with having to give James 646 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: Harden a quarter of a billion dollars in a contract 647 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: next year, or potentially lose him for nothing if you 648 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: opted out his contract. It was. It was a bad 649 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: place Philadelphia was in, and it may still be in 650 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: that bad place if they get beat in the second round. 651 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: But they've gotten certainly a reprieve with the way that 652 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: the team has played. Not necessarily hard, but the team 653 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: has played in the first couple of games sevens. I 654 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: know the doors open for him to play. I think 655 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: it would be insane to send him out there. I mean, 656 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: I guess in a vacuum you can see his plugin 657 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: play potential. Defensively, You can say, Ben, go up there 658 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: and give me ten fifteen minutes on Jason Tatum. You 659 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: are still an all world defender. You don't need the ball, 660 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,879 Speaker 1: you don't need to know the system to go out 661 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 1: there and play great one on one defense against Jason Tatum. 662 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 1: But I haven't asked Emayodok about this, but I would 663 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: and he wouldn't tell me now, But I would imagine 664 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: if Ben Simmons steps on the floor, he's getting fouled 665 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: every single time. He's gonna disrupt that That nets offense 666 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: in a bad way because he's gonna go to the 667 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: free throw line, and unless Kyle Korver has worked miracles 668 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 1: on that coaching staff, he's still gonna make one out 669 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: of four or two out of five or whatever it is, 670 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: you know, from the free throw line. So it just 671 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: he just doesn't make bad keball sense to use Ben 672 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 1: Simmons because as useful as he might be defensively, Boston 673 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: absolutely will exploit him offensively. Gotcha, hey, Chris, we gotta 674 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: break but real quick. According to Vegas, right now, Vegas 675 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: would tell you it's I know, we just started the playoffs, 676 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: but Vegas will tell you Milwaukee versus Golden State or 677 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: Phoenix is that's sort of where we're gonna end. Up 678 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: or do you feel like there's a surprise team now. 679 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: I think that's where we're trending. Milwaukee's kind of sleepwalking 680 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: through this bull series. But they'll be fine. And Phoenix 681 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: if they get Joan bookerback, they're the favorite without I 682 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: watched what Steph Curry did. He was brilliant. Draymond Green 683 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: is great like that team looks like the championship teams 684 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: of years past.
