1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Oh, let's go, stinking genius.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 3: Go baby, my Thunder, Let's go.

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: No, you don't get to say that.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 3: Lets it is.

6
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 4: Well, you don't know this feeling, so let me share

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 4: it for you. You don't know what it's like to have

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 4: your team win a championship. I don't want to be here.

9
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 4: I want to be inside that arena. But in that

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 4: same vein, I've been honest about him. I've been very

11
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: much a Bandwagon fan. Uh, but I love this and

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 4: I've said it a thousand times. I love this group.

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 4: I think they're the best. I think they're the best,

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 4: and now they got a title. You can never take

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 4: it from him. People can complain about Tyrese Haliburton's injury,

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: and looked like we were on track for a pretty

17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 4: special game set.

18
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 5: You know, Oh okay, I was gonna say no, no, no,

19
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 5: go ahead, your Thunder, your show, go ahead.

20
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

21
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say.

22
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 5: You knew right away when they were saying it was

23
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 5: with a Hams drink or something, I'm like, no, that's

24
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 5: that's not a Hams drag.

25
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: What are you talking about. I knew right away it

26
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: was a it was an achilles.

27
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 5: You see the way you went out screaming and crying

28
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 5: in pain. You knew it was something serious.

29
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 6: Chris.

30
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

31
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 4: Well, you saw what we have all become universally accustomed

32
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: to with that calf kind of clenching. You know, you

33
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: remember the Kevin Durant it happened to him when he

34
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: popped his achilles against h.

35
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: We got to catch it.

36
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: Was that against was that against the rockets when that happened?

37
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: Might have been? It might have been, but we see

38
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: it now, we know you.

39
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: Of this one. Wow, that was that was right there.

40
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: That was hard to watch.

41
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: You know.

42
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: He started out on fire too. And I'll tell you

43
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 4: what the uh, the Thunder did everything they could down

44
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: the stretch to keep that game tight, everything they could

45
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: do down this trench to keep that thing tight.

46
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: That was uh.

47
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: That was their uh, that was their weakness, that was

48
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: their kryptonite. They're gonna allow that game to stay tight.

49
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: But the third quarter separated it and I'm Home City

50
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 4: want a title. Man, I'm still kind of in shock

51
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 4: about it. This was a team that you know, was

52
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: in the midst of what was supposed to be a

53
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,639
Speaker 4: three year tank. I think it was more of about

54
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: a two and a half year tank, and it's you

55
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: don't always come out of that in a position like

56
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City, is right, I mean, the seventy six ers

57
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: in the process never even sniffed in NBA Finals on

58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 4: that front. Look at the teams that have a one

59
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 4: of the teams that have gone through that, I guess

60
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: you could say idea of tank and it never really works.

61
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: And now here's Oklahoma City that did it.

62
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I shaded it a year because we had,

63
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: of course the season with COVID where it was shortened

64
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: a little bit. But Alreadie, they basically had a three

65
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: year tank and that was it.

66
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: And it wasn't a fluke.

67
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 5: They were by far the best team in the NBA,

68
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 5: at least record wise.

69
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: They had one of the best.

70
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: It's one of the greatest regular seasons in NBA history.

71
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 5: I know that, and it's just amazing. And we've talked

72
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: about this before.

73
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: We didn't give them enough credit during the stop Stop Stop. Yes,

74
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: you didn't give them enough credit.

75
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: I've been telling you since the moment I saw this

76
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: team play and all the hype leaning into it. I

77
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 4: tried to tell everybody, I'm like they're really freaking good.

78
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: You better start accepting it. And you're like, no, they're Oklahoma.

79
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 4: Nobody cares. So don't try to sit here and say

80
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: they it was you. You were part of the problem.

81
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 5: You know what's funny is when you go back on

82
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: Twitter now and people started tweeting the Knicks had a

83
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 5: choice and they decided to go with what was it,

84
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 5: Kevin Knox instead of shake Gil Alexander because they thought

85
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 5: there was a better upside.

86
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: They'm like, no, don't tell me that.

87
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: Stop man. Well everyone can say that, And I mean

88
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 4: the Clippers traded him, right, and I mean Oklahoma City,

89
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: if you listen to Doc Rivers, Oklahoma City had to

90
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: beg them to throw Shay Gilgess Alexander. If he kind

91
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: of follow the story as it is, it was Shay

92
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: was just part of the package that was in there

93
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: that ended up in that Paul George trade and has

94
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: landed Oklahoma City a championship. I think that's I think

95
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: that's it. In these tanks, right, whenever teams go through this,

96
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: you've got to at some point hit on. And it's

97
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: unfair to call Shay a veteran when they got him,

98
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 4: but you got to hit on one of the guys

99
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: you get in the trade. Because if you look at

100
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: all the draft picks at Oklahoma City has had, based

101
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: on all the trades they made with the Rockets and

102
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 4: the Clippers, and I think there was a trade with

103
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: the Nuggets involved in there. They haven't hit on that mini.

104
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: They hit on Jalen Williams, and they hit on chet Holmger.

105
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's there's only one superstar. Yeah Williams, then good,

106
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 5: But they're they're just good players.

107
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: Everybody has good players.

108
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 2: Well, they don't want a title tonight without Chet Holmgren.

109
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: Well, and I understand that, but it's not like that.

110
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: How am I saying? This is not like chet Holmgren

111
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: is a.

112
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer or you know, I don't know fifty

113
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 5: top fifty players in the NBA. There's a lot of

114
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: players like chet Holmgren out O, there's not I don't

115
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 5: think he had the best series.

116
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 4: Wait wait, he say, just stop what you're saying and

117
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: listen to what you're saying. But just for like two

118
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: seconds on chet Holmgren, you're saying, there's a lot of

119
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: players like chet Holmgren, who is seven foot one and

120
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 4: can shoot threes and handle the basketball, right.

121
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 5: I just mean a guy that's the number three that

122
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: helps the team in that aspect is what I'm pretty much.

123
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: Fair enough, fair enough.

124
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 5: Because it's not I don't think he's a Hall of famer.

125
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: I just think he's a very good player, that's all.

126
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: Well, do you don't know yet?

127
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: You're in year three of his career and he's been

128
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: hurt for one of them, right, Well, he's been hurt

129
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: for all of them. So I mean, you don't know

130
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: what he's going to become. I mean, to be honest,

131
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: he might end up being a Hall of Famer. Hell,

132
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Jalen Williams might end up being a Hall of Famer

133
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: for goodness sakes. I mean, we just we don't know, right,

134
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: And that's what makes this so wild. You're trying to say, oh,

135
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: it's a bunch of bit players in Shay Gil just Alexander.

136
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: I couldn't disagree more.

137
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, good players.

138
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: I thought Hartenstein the pickup of him from the Knicks

139
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: was really important. I thought he'd be a bigger part

140
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 5: of it. But he was a big part of it.

141
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 5: And that was a good pick up when they when

142
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 5: they got him as a free agent.

143
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: But the Crusoe trade.

144
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 4: You know that Josh Kitty was another one of those

145
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: lottery picks, right, Giddy was another one of those picks.

146
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: And I just I think my pushback that I have

147
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: when whenever I think about the way the Thunder had

148
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: been built is yeah, they've done a really good job

149
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: in a massing draft picks. And Oklahoma City fans already

150
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: have Nicolo topic as like the next superstar. So we'll see,

151
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 4: maybe he is. But if you if you start looking

152
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: over the last three or four drafts, I mean, there's

153
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: there's a lot of misses on there. You know, they

154
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: had to they had to catch a break in Shay

155
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: Gil just developing like he did. You know. They they

156
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: drafted guys like Jalen Williams at twelve overall when not

157
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 4: a lot of people had him that high, and in

158
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: that same draft they had uh Chet Holmgren. But that

159
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 4: that same draft they also drafted the other Jalen Williams,

160
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 4: who you know, would really take something bad to happen

161
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: for him to step on the court, And they ended

162
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 4: up drafting Peyton Wilson watching but traded him.

163
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: Aaron Wiggins was a second round pick.

164
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 4: They drafted McBride and traded him betray Man, you got

165
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: Josh Getty who they dealt. I mean already a lot

166
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 4: of these picks they haven't necessarily hit on, which makes

167
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: this even more impressive what they're doing, because they've made

168
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: it work.

169
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: They've mentioned together with all the right moves.

170
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 5: No, it's to their testament that they've been able to

171
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: not only be championship, but to go ahead and my goodness, man,

172
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 5: like you said, one of the best regular seasons of

173
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 5: all time.

174
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this.

175
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 5: You don't have the way they pick on Lebron and

176
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: the Lakers for when you get during the COVID and

177
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: say you gotta put an asterisk on it? Of course

178
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 5: I saw this on Twitter too. Is there an asterix

179
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 5: on this one because haw Burton got hurt? I don't

180
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: think so. I don't think that should really make much

181
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 5: of a difference. But those people saying it, well, and you.

182
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: Can put any You know what, if you want to

183
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: put an asterisk on it, go ahead?

184
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: Doesn't I remember it? I would remember it like an

185
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: hour from Wells, who is you?

186
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 7: Will?

187
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: You will? But go ahead put it? Guess what, Banner's

188
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: not coming down, not being taken away from him. No

189
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 4: one's gonna come out and say they didn't win. But

190
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: if you need that to feel better, I've dealt with

191
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: this with the Dodgers and the COVID thing for the

192
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: better part of the last five five years. Guess what

193
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: title ain't going away. It's not one that isn't counted

194
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: when we look at the championships, which is probably more

195
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: than your team that you root for. So it sucks, man,

196
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 4: because it really seemed like we were headed towards a

197
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: great Game seven.

198
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: I wasn't even going to bring this up, but you

199
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 5: just did. No since you went and had brought up

200
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: the New York Knicks, I mean, what do you think?

201
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: Wait?

202
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: Wait, I didn't bring up the New York Knicks.

203
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: Except for the team I'm rooting for. But I watch,

204
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: by the way, the Thunder win a title. It took

205
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: approximately nine minutes for you to try to make this

206
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: about the Knicks.

207
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 3: Go ahead, No, only.

208
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 5: Because the NBA has got to be sick to their

209
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 5: stomach over what happened right with halla Burton. They got

210
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: to be sick. Well, that's good to destroy. It's going

211
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 5: to destroy half their teams now, how so, what are

212
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 5: you talking about, Chris? The Eastern Conference is already over now,

213
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: Boston's done, Indiana has done.

214
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 3: There's only on team left.

215
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 5: It's the Knicks, already in the championship. Matter of fact,

216
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna text Shapiro tell them I'm gonna need next

217
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: summer off. When the Knicks play in the championship. It's

218
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: already a done deal. I tell me I'm wrong. Is

219
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: there another deed right now? The Knicks already clinched it?

220
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 5: Arrest everybody who.

221
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: The Orlando Magic? Who the Orlando Magic?

222
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: Penny Hardaway still play?

223
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Pistons.

224
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: Stop it? Come on, Chris, stop it. You don't even

225
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 3: have a coach. We don't need a coach. We'll take

226
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: your coach. How about that?

227
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 8: You can't know, you can't.

228
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: Congrats on making it nine minutes before you try to

229
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: make this whole show about I just say, I'm just

230
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 4: saying it's good. Jason, go ahead. I'll just bet Mike

231
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: Carman go ahead, you go ahead. Let's make this all

232
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: about the Knicks now and how they're gonna do it

233
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: next year.

234
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 5: No, I just I feel bad, and you know, but

235
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: I didn't want to get in this way, but I'll

236
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 5: take it.

237
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: What can I say, well, you're not. I mean, we've

238
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: got a whole season.

239
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 4: You got to figure out who your coach is, You

240
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: got to figure out what your roster is going to

241
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: look like. You're basing this off what.

242
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 3: There's no other teams of the Eastern I.

243
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: Just reeled off three. The Magic already made a move

244
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: to bring in Desmond Bane with a solid Magic make it.

245
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: The Cavs won sixty four games, and we're thirteen games

246
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 4: better than you in the regular Magic make.

247
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 5: The Eastern Conference. When the Eastern Conference, the saga will

248
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: quit his job. Okay, well you can't put that on

249
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: to say I bet I could do that.

250
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I kind of think Detroit's pretty exciting and

251
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: what they're putting together. And I think the Bucks are

252
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: going to bounce back next year, so it's not just

253
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 4: going to be a walk in the park for your

254
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: New York Knicks.

255
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: Yes, next year. And by the way, why all the achilles?

256
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 5: But notice everybody who had the achilles in the playoffs

257
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: all war number zero? How about that Lillard, Tatum, and

258
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 5: Holi Burton all had number zero when they had the achilles?

259
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: But why so many achilles injuries like that? Or do

260
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: we just notice it a little bit more. It's crazy.

261
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's a very weird quinkide ink, I guess

262
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: more than anything else. But I don't are you trying

263
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 4: to say that everyone that wears zero gets watch out

264
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: Al Oliver.

265
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: No, that's that's just the weird coincidence there. I'm just

266
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: wondering why the athletes. You know, well, obviously he had

267
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: like a hamstring problem, That's what I think.

268
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: That's what it was, the same thing the cap.

269
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 5: Prop excuse me, that's what Kevin Durant had also before

270
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 5: he tore his achilles, So that's got to be the problem.

271
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgess.

272
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: Alexander won the MVP, he won the Western Conference Finals MVP,

273
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: He won the Finals MVP. He was an All Star,

274
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: he was All NBA First Team, he won the scoring title.

275
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: I mean, the dude is probably what a lock for

276
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame at twenty six years old. And

277
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 4: he again I'm not gonna get too carried away here,

278
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: but doesn't seem like he has a desire to be

279
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 4: anywhere else. Has now created a foundation for a team

280
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: that's not going to go anywhere. I think the West

281
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: is going to be a beast, but it starts, begins

282
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 4: and ends with Oklahoma City.

283
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 5: Now absolutely, you're right off there and then leading the team,

284
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: and he maybe we talked about who's the next face

285
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 5: of the NBA.

286
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: We may be looking at him.

287
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 5: He didn't have a great three point shooting night, but

288
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 5: he really didn't need Eddy. And you know what, I

289
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: thought the Thunder had a little bit of a letdown

290
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: when Halliburton got hurt.

291
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: I think everyone did.

292
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, I agree with that.

293
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 5: I thought the Thunder were going to just step on

294
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 5: their neck and pull away and this was going to

295
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 5: be a thirty point victory. When they were trailing at halftime,

296
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, you can't let them hang around like

297
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 5: that that, you know, And then they got back within

298
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 5: four in the third and then it was all over

299
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 5: all after that.

300
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 3: Where you're disappointed.

301
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 5: We never got to see Holli Burton taking off the court,

302
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. They didn't even show it.

303
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 5: I just wanted to see how everything was working out.

304
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: I did see it on Twitter later on, but we

305
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 5: never got to see it on the network.

306
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: I thought that was a big mistake not showing it.

307
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 4: Why do okay, can I just for one millisecond here

308
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: run It's the worst job I've ever seen by a

309
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: sideline reporter. And I don't know if it's on the

310
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: producer for not using her more on the broadcast lease

311
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: assaults because we know she's really good. But that's your moment, man,

312
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: that's your moment when you have an injury like that.

313
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: That is the most important thing that's going on right now.

314
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: Right We had no idea. I mean everyone kind of

315
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 4: saw what was going on, but we had no idea.

316
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: I don't even know if they ever went to her

317
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 4: for an update. We saw a shot in the background

318
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: with his dad holding the kids, and I think his

319
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: mom was there too, and that was it, right, But

320
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: there was never any updates, and they did you see

321
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 4: there was two minutes left in the game and they

322
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: flashed on the bottom of the screen Tyre's Halliburton now

323
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: for the second half lower leg injury. It's like, I

324
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: just to me, it was a real swing, and I

325
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: thought the whole listen. I'm not here to make this

326
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: about how terrible ESPN is when it comes to covering

327
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: the NBA, but I think ESPN should be ashamed of

328
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 4: themselves and embarrassed with the way they covered this. That

329
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: booth was awful. It was absolutely awful. Outside.

330
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 5: We had to have we had to have an update

331
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 5: only for the fact that they kept calling it a

332
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: what a hamstring or whatever?

333
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: They kept calling it the wrong thing.

334
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and for that reason alt I said, well,

335
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 5: maybe I'm wrong, Maybe it wasn't a killies.

336
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: What the hell do I don't know?

337
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: They had no idea, And and and that is why

338
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 4: you have a That's why you have a sigline reporter, right,

339
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's it's it's my life, it's what

340
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 4: I do. Whenever someone goes down, that's your that's your job.

341
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 4: And again we all knew watching, but nothing from like

342
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: a Pacers athletic trainer, nothing from sources over there, nothing

343
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: from anyone with the NBA. I mean, what in the

344
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 4: hell are we even doing? Or were you sitting there

345
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 4: watching the game or what?

346
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: You know? It was crazy is I was a little

347
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 5: confused on what the injury was. And like I said,

348
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: when we came back, we never saw him getting taken

349
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: off the court because I wanted to see if they were.

350
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: They showed him walking off the court.

351
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: I must have missed that because I wasn't sure if

352
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 5: it was an achilles So what did I do? I

353
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 5: went to Twitter and I wrote, paging doctor Chow, paging

354
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 5: doctor Chow, you know our guest that we've used, And boom,

355
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 5: like five minutes later, I guess people were paging them

356
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: and he gave the whole explanation on what happened and

357
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 5: what he thought and showed the video and yeah, he's like, oh,

358
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 5: this is a classic case of blah blah blah.

359
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

360
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 5: It was the Achilles felt pat Vowerburton. He's gonna be

361
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 5: out all of next year. But you're right, they didn't

362
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 5: do a good job explaining it showing it.

363
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what was what it was about with ESPN.

364
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 5: They they just didn't have it together this year, and

365
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: they're usually not like that, to be honest with No.

366
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 4: And maybe it was because we found out that, you know, inside,

367
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 4: the NBA was coming to ESPN, so everyone was a

368
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: little bit checked out. I don't know, but it was

369
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: it was it was I don't want to sit here

370
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 4: and make this tonight about the broadcast. Right tonight is

371
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: about the thunder. Yeah, they won their first title, and

372
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: now Arnie, you've got to respect him, you have to.

373
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 4: You've got to pitch you can't make your little goofy

374
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: comments anymore because in the end, everywhere, and I'm sure

375
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: the ratings aren't going to be all that great, but

376
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: you know what, they weren't for the Spurs first title,

377
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: and they weren't for the Warriors. Now when the Warriors

378
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 4: got into it, man, everyone wanted a piece of staff.

379
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: I wonder if shake Gilgess Alexander Can had that type

380
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: of effect. He just won a title, he won the MVP,

381
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: I laid out all the accolades. I wonder if he's

382
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: one of those guys, Arnie, that can kind of bring

383
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: people back, that can kind of be a bit of

384
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 4: a magnet where for some reason, I guess if you

385
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: put Oklahoma City or in the end in front of anything,

386
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: people are gonna freak out and not want to watch

387
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 4: it because it's not the Lakers or the Knicks. But

388
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: he's got a title, now, he's got a ring. This

389
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 4: is this is a Oklahoma city just won a championship

390
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: in the NBA in a city where nobody thought would

391
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: ever be able to host a professional team ever, Arnie,

392
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 4: And I'm going back when I moved here. I'm moved

393
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: to Oklahoma in nineteen ninety three. Now, I know we're

394
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: going back like thirty a long time ago. So I've

395
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 4: been here for a minute, But I moved here in

396
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: ninety three. I would have you would have to pay

397
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 4: me to have gone to Oklahoma City in ninety three.

398
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: There was nothing going on down here.

399
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: Nothing.

400
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 4: They had the Myriad and my and my Tuls Oilers

401
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 4: of the COCHL would play the Oklahoma City Blazers, and

402
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: that was it. It was a blue collar town. And

403
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 4: then they decided, hey, let's build an arena and try

404
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: to wo an NHL franchise, and they built the Ford Center.

405
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: And in the.

406
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: Midst of trying to wo an NHL franchise, Arnie Hurricane

407
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: Katrina hit and lo and behold, New Orleans needed a

408
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: place to play, and they brought the Hornets here, and

409
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 4: the NBA just became a thing. If you would have

410
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: told me when I started in radio in the late

411
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: nineties here in Oklahoma that Oklahoma City could become an

412
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 4: NBA or Oklahoma in general would be an NBA state,

413
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: I would have told you I was crazy.

414
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 5: Well, that would the way you were going to get

415
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: a team, because there was no way if there was

416
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 5: a new expansion, especially with some of the cities that.

417
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 4: Were waiting to get get teams. I don't think Okahoma City. Well,

418
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: when was the last time the NBA expanded.

419
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: With New Orleans? Is that what it was? I'm not sure,

420
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: to be honest with you. It's itin like ten to

421
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: fifteen years old.

422
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 4: So well, I mean and again, but there is a

423
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: story about them doing it this summer. I got it,

424
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: I got it, I got it. But the last team

425
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 4: that the NBA expanded to was the Charlotte Bobcats. Yeah,

426
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 4: in two thousand and four. And prior to that, it

427
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: was nineteen ninety five with the Raptors and the Grizzlies.

428
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: They built the arena on a wing and a prayer.

429
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: They brought the hornets here, and everybody fell in love

430
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: with the NBA. And I would have people calling me

431
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 4: in the early two thousand it's like nobody wants to

432
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 4: talk about the NBA.

433
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: Stupid.

434
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: I don't even know how to pronounce half the guys' names.

435
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 4: Get out of here with the NBA. And now all

436
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: of a sudden, everybody loves it, and it's become title tout.

437
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: And I'm going to tell you right now, I'm sitting

438
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 4: here tonight on Fox Sports Radio. As surprised as anyone

439
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: that they did this. It's amazing. I'm so happy for him.

440
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 4: So there you go, Oklahoma City's title. Sorry, I'm sure

441
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 4: it's not being I'm sure this is a rough night

442
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: for the Seales.

443
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: Superad against Seattle. They're not having a good time up there.

444
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 5: Jack Sikma's not partying or well.

445
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean, remember that the Sonics did win a title too,

446
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 4: so I mean they have their championships, they have their

447
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy nine.

448
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: But I think this might be more than one. I

449
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: think this might be a bit of a run.

450
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600

Speaker 5: I can't It's nothing about the show. It's more of

470
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 5: a personal.

471
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 4: I'm starting to think that I'm starting to think that

472
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: there is no story.

473
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: No wow wow.

474
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 5: And like I said, I compliment that the women today

475
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 5: and they gave me grief.

476
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: Is what happened?

477
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 4: Is that I I don't bring in.

478
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 3: I just don't know if it was a compliment what

479
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: he's saying.

480
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 9: He was just like, oh, oh have girls running the show,

481
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 9: you know, yeah, it was interesting. I just don't know

482
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 9: if that was a compliment.

483
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: Mary Mac, Did you take it as a compliment?

484
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: Even it takes nothing as a compliment.

485
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 10: That's actually not even true, even the fact that you

486
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 10: just said that. Right now, I'm very hurtful.

487
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 4: I've got all the highlights starting to roll in. The

488
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: crew behind the scenes is chopping it up. The thunder

489
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 4: of the NBA Champs. Man, I'm still kind of in shock.

490
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie h A team that was left

491
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: for dead a couple of times, right, or Kevin Durant

492
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 4: left left for dad after the Paul George trade, left

493
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: for dad after Russell Westbrook was traded.

494
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: I'm not even that everyone forgot about.

495
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: I'm not even sure what the blueprint is to win

496
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 5: a championship if you're following it their way, trade away

497
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 5: your three top players at are Hall of famers, and.

498
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 4: Well they didn't trade Durant, he left, they didn't get

499
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: anything for him. I hope your three best players leave.

500
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 4: I mean, what, it's not like Philadelphia.

501
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: They did the you know, trust the system and that

502
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 5: don't thing, which of course never trust the process, which

503
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 5: never worked.

504
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: But I'm not even sure what.

505
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: The system is now too, or the blueprint to win

506
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 5: an NBA championship, you know.

507
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: So when the Thunder traded Paul George to the Clippers

508
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: and they got back five first round picks, Shay, Gilgess, Alexander,

509
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 4: there was a Gallinari was who I thought?

510
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I got Gallinari.

511
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 4: There was a quote and I have it here in

512
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 4: ESPN just popped it onto their store. Bobby Marks in

513
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: his article about what the thundernea next season, and this

514
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 4: quote's from Sam Presti and it's a good one.

515
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: He said.

516
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: In order to build and then sustain a truly great

517
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: basketball team, it requires a method. This method is not

518
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: guesswork or a convenient message that miscasts other good fortune

519
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 4: as a repeatable skill.

520
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: That's his motto. Does that make sense to you?

521
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 11: No?

522
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: Not really. That's why he's getting the big money. And

523
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: I'm not. I guess that's.

524
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 4: Sam Presting Man, Hey, and Presty. There has been some

525
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 4: swings and misses. Man, They've missed on some draft picks

526
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 4: they really have, but that doesn't matter.

527
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 2: Tonight they're the title.

528
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 4: Tuesday, they're gonna have the parade through downtown Oklahoma City.

529
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: That's gonna be a site to behold today, a place

530
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: is gonna be rocking and and a home court environment

531
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 4: that I think is unlike anything we've ever seen and

532
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: continue and will continue to be.

533
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 5: Not to take away from anything, but what is like

534
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: how many people are gonna be going to this parade?

535
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: Do you think it in like numbers?

536
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 4: Let me see, the current population of Okay c is

537
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 4: seven hundred and two thousand. I think if you add

538
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: in people coming in from Tulsa and all parts of Oklahoma,

539
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: I think that you could have quite a few people

540
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 4: that are gonna be here. Remember it's not just one city,

541
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: it's an entire state that's behind this team.

542
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 3: My part was, how does this compare to football?

543
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: Though?

544
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: You don't mean if the Sooners win a championship and.

545
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 4: You were having a pre very similar Oh really okay, wow, yeah,

546
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: very similar, very similar?

547
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I think it'd be crazy. I think

548
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: it'd be crazy. This is Oklahoma. You have parts.

549
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 4: If you think about Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, you have

550
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: a smaller sorry pop fans, faction of Oklahoma State fans,

551
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 4: Oklahoma fans, and they got my beloved alma mater, the

552
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: University of Tulsa. Already, this brings all of them together.

553
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: Everyone's together, and it is a thunderfan. They didn't have

554
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 4: a prior NBA allegiance. And even if you do, I

555
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: know what you're trying to do. You're trying to take

556
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: a shot and think there's not a lot.

557
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 5: I just thought I just thought it was more of

558
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 5: a football town than anything.

559
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: But you know, all right, well it is. But it's

560
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 4: becoming a basketball mecca and they won a title. They

561
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 4: want a title. Man, I can't believe it. So let's

562
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: get all the details from Steve Sager, who's rolling in

563
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: with what's trending, what's going on?

564
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 8: Steve, Hello, and congratulations to you. What a series that

565
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 8: turned out to be. Game seven of the NBA Finals

566
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 8: at Oklahoma City went to the home team, The thunderbeat

567
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 8: Indiana one oh three ninety one. Series MVP Shay Gilgers

568
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 8: Alexander with twenty nine points, twelve assists, just one turnover

569
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 8: now Tyres Halliburton in the first well it was a

570
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 8: first in a Game seven of an NBA Finals hit

571
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 8: three three pointers in the first quarter that hadn't happened,

572
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 8: and then before the period was over, left with the

573
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 8: achilles injury, had to be helped off the court. His

574
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 8: team did lead by a point at halftime. The bad

575
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 8: news is, in recent decades, in game seven of the final,

576
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 8: if you're leading at halftime, that's not good news. Two

577
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 8: to five record in the last seven game sevens of

578
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 8: the Finals for the team that led at halftime. I

579
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 8: remember when Kobe Bryant had put off knee surgery, was

580
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 8: playing the Game seven final at home against Ray Allen

581
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 8: and company of the Celtics. It was a double digit

582
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 8: Boston lead on the road and they did not close

583
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 8: that out. This a twelve point win for the home

584
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 8: team with a pretty dominant third quarter. Eventually, chet Holmgren

585
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,520

Speaker 8: draft choices. The NBA Draft starts on Wednesday. That's a lot,

591
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 8: and it's quite a bit, although it's only one first

592
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 8: round choice, and if you've watched the NBA draft in

593
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 8: recent years, we can't name first rounders, I mean like

594
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 8: even two and three years after they're selected, so let's

595
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,200

Speaker 8: RBIs today, including a three run triple and two run homer,

626
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 8: his twenty sixth of the year.

627
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: By the way, the Dodgers should play the Padres all

628
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty two games.

629
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 8: I think it's been great for six years, this rivalry.

630
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 8: It's really really great, and I can't wait till I

631
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 8: think it's mid August when they finally played each other again.

632
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 8: It took until mid June until they played each other

633
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 8: at all on this ballot schedule. One thing that I

634
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 8: mentioned many hours ago about the new baseball rules, it's

635
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 8: been two and a half years with the timing and

636
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 8: speeding things up, and that is taking out the dead

637
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 8: parts of baseball. It's been so good for the game.

638
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 8: Pro sports is an entertainment product. You didn't change fundamentally

639
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 8: the game. And this Dodger game, for example, we had

640
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 8: twenty total runs and the game was done in two

641
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 8: hours and forty five minutes.

642
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 3: Nice.

643
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 8: The Houston win and Anaheim eight seven over the Angels,

644
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 8: that was two hours thirty eight minutes. The Mariners win

645
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 8: at Wrigley fourteen to six over the Cubs again twenty

646
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 8: total runs, two hours fifty five minutes, and the Giants

647
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 8: home game nine to five over Boston two hours forty

648
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 8: three minutes.

649
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: Right, thanks Steve.

650
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: By the way, did you and real quick you mentioned

651
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 4: the LSU talking about speed of game games. Game one

652
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 4: in that series was two thirty for a college baseball game.

653
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: Game two today, which was five to three, was like

654
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 4: two hours and twenty minutes.

655
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: So hey, well done.

656
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 5: Base people up at arms about that that the manager

657
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 5: got thrown out in the first inning for a really

658
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 5: not a good enough reason.

659
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 4: I mean, Kevin Schnall was fired up. Yeah, congrats to LSURE.

660
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 4: You're taking the second fold of the sports page today

661
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 4: outside of Baton Rouge. Party up, t Bob, Party up,

662
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: Jacob Astor. You guys have earned it.

663
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: Enjoy it.

664
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: But I mean, the thunder just won the title, so

665
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 4: they're the biggest story in sports right now. I see

666
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: your Kat trade Bringana and your son's making moves, so

667
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 4: I understand what you're trying to You're trying to shake

668
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 4: in bake here a bit, and you're trying to get

669
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: the thunder off the front fold, but our top fold,

670
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 4: I should say, But Arnie, the first inning of a

671
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 4: championship game, you're gonna get an umpire or really tossing

672
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 4: a manager.

673
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, what are we doing? That's what are we doing?

674
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 5: But you know, in the umpire's defense, you can't question

675
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 5: balls and strikes, and I think he did it twice.

676
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: Well, no, he clarified now, and there's two sides to

677
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: every story. So just I'll give what Kevin Schnall said,

678
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 4: because I know you didn't listen to the press conference,

679
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 4: but he said he couldn't hear they warned him, so

680
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: he walked out. And that's whenever he was informed that

681
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 4: he was warned. And then the umpire shoot him away.

682
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: He gave him the shoe and he's like, I'm a

683
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 4: grown man. You're not gonna shoo me away like that.

684
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 4: And I simply and I simply said, I he said,

685
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: you've been warned, and he's said you've missed three calls,

686
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: And he said you've missed three calls and he went

687
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: as he was going back to the bench, he tossed him.

688
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is pretty weak, just saying you missed the

689
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 5: three calls. I did see that part there.

690
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: So it wasn't cussing Adam, even though allegedly there had

691
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: been warnings given to them. But like the like the

692
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 4: Coastal Carolina first year coach said, yeah, first year, aren't

693
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 4: he takes her the champ series? Who they happened to

694
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: be in the first game?

695
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 3: I can't remember Arizona.

696
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 5: That's why I was holding for them, and they won

697
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: their championship against Arizona ten years ago.

698
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: That's right.

699
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 4: And you know who the head coach was of Arizona at.

700
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 3: That time, Yeah, I do the coach of LSU, right,

701
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: that's right, Jay Johnson.

702
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120

Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio videos on YouTube. I noticed here in

710
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: Roman numeral number. Let's see what number was. This is

711
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: caught in my roman numeral two. Okay, you did have

712
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 4: the overall grade on the TV production, which I kind

713
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 4: of went in on early. Your thoughts on the announcer

714
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 4: the grade on the overall series times and days?

715
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: Does that say times and days?

716
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, because it was so spread out over

717
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 5: the you know, with the three days between the last

718
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 5: I think, what we have two games and six days

719
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 5: or something because of the travel. So that was that

720
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 5: took away a lot of the momentum I believe that

721
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 5: they had. And then I always thought that the Sunday

722
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 5: earlier time is a better time for a game seven.

723
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 5: So I mean, it doesn't make a difference to us.

724
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 5: We're on the air anyway. I just figured more people

725
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 5: would be tuning on in. But it is the summertime,

726
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 5: so people are out and about. Maybe it's okay there.

727
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 5: I felt though, overall the super and posed trophy stuff

728
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 5: that was bad.

729
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 3: I'm glad they went though back to showing.

730
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 5: The uh the introductions, so I thought that was a

731
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: good move.

732
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 3: I thought that was a plus for them.

733
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: We bullied him into it, Arnie.

734
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah you did, Yeah you did? That was that was funny.

735
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: I'm glad, we I'm glad you did you know.

736
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 4: Hey, they listened to us sometimes every now and then.

737
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: But I'm not gonna lie. I think the first game

738
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: they did intros for was maybe Game four.

739
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say Game four.

740
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was Game four. And I remember

741
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: I was sitting like a little kid, and I was

742
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: waiting for the PA guy to go, Ladies and gentlemen.

743
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: You know, just that's his moment, man, And now you

744
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 4: know the lights are going on off. Get in the videos.

745
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: You feel like you're there. I was really glad they

746
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: brought it.

747
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: Get your pupped up for the game. I asked Jason

748
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: Martin why they took it away. He brought up a

749
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 3: good point.

750
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 5: They probably wanted the extra minute or two to sell

751
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 5: more commercial time. Man's right, time is money, and that's

752
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 5: a lot of money when you go right to the introductions.

753
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: All right, it's gonna break. Yeah, they need more money.

754
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: Anything else on Roman Numeral two you want to add

755
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: from the series, I will say, we gotta find a

756
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: way because af you people grinch and moan that the

757
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 4: college football playoffs took up too much time on the calendar, right,

758
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 4: you realize we started the NBA playoffs in April.

759
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 2: We started it around Eastern and it's just now.

760
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 4: I heard Jonas Knox's take on this Friday, and I

761
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 4: was cracking up because you know, I'm an early morning guy.

762
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: Now, Arnie, I'm a morning man.

763
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 4: Now I wake up. Yeah, I'm a morning man. But

764
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: whenever I heard that, I was laughing, and I'm like,

765
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 4: oh wait, that's right. We kind of did start in

766
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 4: that long ago. Like anything we can do on that

767
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 4: or is that just the NBA and it's season.

768
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 5: You know, there is talk that maybe you want to

769
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 5: go first round, best of five.

770
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't think the NBA can answid because.

771
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: You don't want the top seeds to get eliminated with

772
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 5: some type of upset.

773
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 3: So I don't think you could really pull that off.

774
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 4: All right, when we come back, there is a couple

775
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 4: of other topics we need to touch upon, and we'll

776
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 4: do it very briefly, because we've got a Thunder Championship

777
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 4: to celebrate. Todd Furman's coming up next hour. And it's

778
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: fitting that Bree is in tonight because she's a Suns

779
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 4: fan and today was a big move out in Phoenix.

780
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,319

Speaker 6: No?

788
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,120

Speaker 5: a one point game?

790
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: On this?

791
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,520

811
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:34,719

812
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 5: Two, Look, I know why you guys are a little

813
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 5: bit mad. Everybody knows why you guys are mad because

814
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: you're not Texas.

815
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 3: Right is that you have that you know comedy.

816
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: You're just getting mad because Sooner.

817
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 5: I know that's why you're mad, because you're not big

818
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 5: bad Texas. I feel like the little brother the Texas

819
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 5: and it bothered you guys.

820
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 3: So you're like, we want a championship.

821
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: Look at us, we want a championship. Shut up. You're

822
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: in Vermont, you clean Arizona. You've done nothing.

823
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: Don't don't start this just because you're mad that you

824
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 4: got called out on Twitter.

825
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: Take a beating, accept it.

826
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: Nothing to listen.

827
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: Texas has nothing to do with this. Oklahoma City just

828
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 4: won a title. Stop it. You got worked on Twitter

829
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 4: by Sooner. Lease, so wear it. It happens to me

830
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 4: all the time. The odds for next year came out.

831
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: You know who the favorites are, right, that'll be okay.

832
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: See it is okay, see by a law, by far, they.

833
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 4: Were the favorite by far this year, and you never

834
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 4: showed him any respect. Plus two twenty. Would you like

835
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: to take a guess on there's a tie for second?

836
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 3: Who the two teams are.

837
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 4: I bet they probably put Houston up there.

838
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 5: Oh, good call there plus eight and fifty so eight

839
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 5: and a half to one.

840
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, I would think the only reason you brought it

841
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 2: up is because your Nicks are there.

842
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 3: Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.

843
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 5: Of course, that's what I tried to tell you like

844
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 5: a half hour ago, but you shot me down on that.

845
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 4: Well again, do you know off the top of your

846
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 4: head where your Nicks wore for the twenty four twenty

847
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 4: five preseason NBA Championship odds?

848
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 3: I think they were like number eight or nine, weren't

849
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 3: they right?

850
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 4: So why are you getting all fired up about it?

851
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 4: I mean, it doesn't matter. It's it's irrelevant. The only

852
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 4: time it seems to matter is whenever it's the Chiefs,

853
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 4: because Kansas City is always there. I don't even think

854
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City was the top pick for the let's see here,

855
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: the twenty four to twenty five final champion. Oh shoot,

856
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 4: it took me right to the These websites have got

857
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: to keep up their old odds to kind of help

858
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 4: me feel better about that.

859
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 3: I don't think they were the favorite. To be honest

860
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 3: with you, they no.

861
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 4: I kind of want to say that it might of

862
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 4: Phoenix had been up there, but I'll have to I'll

863
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 4: have to find the Lakers were probably pretty high too.

864
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 4: People were kind of drunk on the Clippers as well.

865
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 4: To this preseason. Let's say, okay, here we go. Celtics

866
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 4: were plus three hundred. Ye Nicks were plus You were

867
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 4: the second pick.

868
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: The get out of here? Were we get out of here? Yeah?

869
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 4: So yes, sir, yes, sir, you were the second pick

870
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 4: last year or two. The Nuggets were plus seven to fifty.

871
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 4: The Timberwolves were plus eight fifty. Oh my gosh, the

872
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: Thunderworld plus nine hundred, followed closely by the Dallas Mavericks

873
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 4: at plus one thousand.

874
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 3: That was it's the money.

875
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 4: The Dallas Mavericks were a top six pick for the

876
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: preseason twenty twenty four odds, according to I let's see

877
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 4: the basketball records archives that are out there, so good stuff.

878
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: Mister Nobody writes, I got so tired of the ESPN

879
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 4: broadcast and listen to the thunder broadcast. But speaking of

880
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: bashing ESPN, what was up with them following the Pacers

881
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 4: into the back a staff member having to shoe a

882
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 4: camera person away because she was trying to comfort TJ.

883
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: McConnell.

884
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you something, mister, nobody, they sure

885
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 4: as heck wanted to peek their head back there and

886
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: see what was going on after the game, but not

887
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 4: during the most important moment of the game, whenever you

888
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: had a star player go down and we had no

889
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 4: idea what was going on except we'd seen it a

890
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 4: thousand times.

891
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 5: I know, we're short on time. What was he saying

892
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 5: that he got shoot away? Because I didn't see McConnell,

893
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 5: you know, kind of lose it have a breakdown a

894
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 5: little bit.

895
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: What were they getting the camera guy aways out? Yeah,

896
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: they were trying to get the camera guy away.

897
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 4: It's like, oh man, they just lost give us like

898
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 4: two minutes here, And that's the moment when they want

899
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 4: to be aggressive and see what's going on. That's when

900
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 4: they're not whenever there's an injury that's taking place. UCLA

901
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 4: Dodger Frank writes, I'd rather put a Benjamin on Detroit

902
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 4: at sixty to one than put the Knicks at eight

903
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 4: and a half to one.

904
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 2: All things considered, Oh good luck.

905
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 3: All things considered, the Knicks are gonna be in the championship.

906
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 4: So you've said this every single year. The Cavaliers are

907
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 4: right there.

908
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a year ahead of myself. We know that.

909
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like you were with Jacksonville as well too.

910
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: I was, I was.

911
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: And then Brendan writes, congrats on the ok See Thunder

912
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 4: for being a cameo champion because the Lakers now have

913
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 4: an owner aka governor. If you want to kiss Dave

914
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: Draymond's backside, who has very deep pockets. First, LA will

915
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 4: cut Lebron, then get the best coaches and scouts money

916
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 4: can buy. Ooh, Brenda not even giving me twenty four

Speaker 4: five blocks, set of Finals game seven record did chet

925
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 4: Holmgren you know they had on Friday night?

926
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: We were going through some of it and I can't

927
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 2: find it on FanDuel.

928
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 4: Now I don't know if they just drop it after

929
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 4: the series is over, but you could actually you can

930
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 4: actually place a wager on if someone would break the

931
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 4: record for most points into game seven or actually uh yeah,

932
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 4: you could bet on that and then fifty or more

933
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 4: if someone scored fifty or more and then they had

934
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 4: the blocks And I thought, oh, the blocks record in

935
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,720
Speaker 4: game seven might be interesting?

936
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: Was the record?

937
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 4: I think the record was four? And Kevin Garnett I

938
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 4: was wanting to say, was I think Joe Smith or

939
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 4: someone Marvin Webster, someone random?

940
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: Mark had the human eraser.

941
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had the had the number that was the

942
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 4: record beforehand, but you would have got paid on that one,

943
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 4: which at home having five blocks. We'll talk absolutely. We'll

944
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 4: talk with Todd Furman about that coming up here in

945
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: just a bit. Arnie, I know that you have not

946
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: spent a lot of time with Brie Brandon Moureau, who

947
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: is my co host on Friday Night on the Overnight Show,

948
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 4: but she's running the show tonight because she had a

949
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: wedding on Friday night.

950
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: Shouts out to it was Burr she got married, right, Bri.

951
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 3: My producer who didn't invite me to the wedding.

952
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 9: But would you have actually come out if he had invited.

953
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,479
Speaker 3: Of course, Oh yes you would.

954
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 4: Wait now you're going to pretend like you know someone's

955
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 4: name to get invited to their wedding.

956
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 10: Was found out about the wedding yesterday. It was lightly

957
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 10: five minutes.

958
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 3: It was my producer for the last ten years. You

959
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 3: didn't know about it. She's literally our producer for the

960
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 3: He's been our producer.

961
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 10: He asked Ian, Oh it was Brush who got married, right,

962
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 10: and then proceeded to talk about it literally as started.

963
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 5: In, Oh my god, I've just crushed. I didn't get invited,

964
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 5: that's all. I just I can't believe it.

965
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: That it happens.

966
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 5: You know, we took him under our wing and showed

967
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 5: him the ropes of the of the business.

968
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 4: So anyway, Kevin Durant got traded today from the Suns

969
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: to the Rockets. Bree is our resident son's expert, Brie,

970
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 4: what'd you think?

971
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 9: Despicable?

972
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

973
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: Really, purely despicable.

974
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 9: We got hosed, Like we literally got hosed. We gave

975
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 9: up so much to get him. Are our core mckel bridges,

976
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 9: Cam Johnson? How many first round draft picks A ton

977
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 9: and all all just to get like five second round picks.

978
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 9: What are we gonna do with Dot and Jalen Green?

979
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 3: They're pretty worthless. Those second round picks.

980
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 9: It seems like, oh yeah, horrible. If I'm Tivin Booker,

981
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 9: I'm calling so and so and just being like I'm out.

982
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 9: I would leave after next year.

983
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 5: The second round picks are like getting a seven in poker,

984
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 5: you know what I mean?

985
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: They were kind of worth it.

986
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 9: What do you do with them? Who's gonna take them?

987
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 9: Everyone knows how desperate they were to get rid of him,

988
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 9: So what was the point?

989
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 4: Can I defend Jalen Green for a moment? I mean, dude,

990
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 4: average twenty one points played in all eighty two games

991
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 4: in each of the last two years, second pick overall

992
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 4: in the draft. No, nothing, No, that's not gonna.

993
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 9: Make a difference. There's there's been. We don't have anything.

994
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 9: We have no depth, we have no bench. It's just

995
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 9: it's all bad.

996
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: I am.

997
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 9: I'm so depressed, Like this is the end. My Saints

998
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 9: are falling apart, my sons are falling apart. I'm just depressed.

999
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 9: I'd rather be Arnie at this point.

1000
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 2: Wow, that's tough.

1001
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: And by the way it slowed down, it's not like

1002
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 5: you gave up somebody who was young, Kevin Durantz, what

1003
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 5: like thirty six, thirty seven years old, thirty eight years I.

1004
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 9: Didn't even want him when we traded for him. I

1005
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 9: cried when that trade happened. I was devastated.

1006
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 8: And she's a big Mchael Bridges fantasy love mckel Bridges.

1007
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 9: I think you know that, right, Arnie.

1008
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I didn't know you liked it. I

1009
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: like him. Also, he's a games eater, so I like him.

1010
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 9: A lot, though, So I need thoughts in prayers. I'm

1011
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 9: much appreciated because I don't know how gonna watch the

1012
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 9: Suns this year. It's gonna be really painful.

1013
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

1014
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 4: How did you feel about I was a little bit

1015
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 4: surprised because a story already came out early that said

1016
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant's gonna get traded today, and I thought, would

1017
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 4: that'd be odd to have a trade happen on the

1018
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: day of Game seven. I mean, even the Super Bowl says, hey,

1019
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 4: we ain't doing bleep personnel wise, trade wise. You guys

1020
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 4: keep all that stuff to yourself and then we'll celebrate

1021
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. Now, granted, this NBA playoff's been going

1022
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 4: on since Easter, so there's got to be some business

1023
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: that takes place exactly. But still, I mean, the timing

1024
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 4: of it sucks because it did take away a bit

1025
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: from Game seven. I thought it was.

1026
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 5: Gonna be Monday or Tuesday, to be honest with you,

1027
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 5: I thought that's when they're and they broke it during

1028
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 5: that Fanatics Fest or whatever.

1029
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 2: Right, is that what he found out about it?

1030
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 4: And I've got that Fanatics Fest, which again I wouldn't

1031
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 4: complain if I got to go, but just seems like

1032
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 4: it's a bunch of people sitting around doing interviews. Am

1033
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 4: I missing something with Fanatics Fest? There's people sitting on

1034
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 4: a stage with bad audio? I mean, am I missing

1035
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 4: anything with this? Is there something more?

1036
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 3: Or seemed crowded? Is what it was? Well?

1037
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 2: Did you make it the deal?

1038
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 5: I'm surprised that they and I know they're, you know,

1039
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 5: not worth that much, but five second round picks, the

1040
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 5: number ten pick. I do like Jalen Green, Dylan Brookshire

1041
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 5: throwing on in there, but it seemed a little pricey

1042
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 5: for a guy that's thirty eight years old. But the

1043
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 5: Suns really had no choice. They had to go ahead

1044
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 5: and move on out. They have to get rid of Beal.

1045
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 5: They've got to start fresh, start young, and this is

1046
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 5: the way they had to do it.

1047
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 3: So I think they I think they came out okay.

1048
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 3: So it's like a win win situation here.

1049
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as you saw, which I guess is the

1050
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 4: most important thing.

1051
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: The odds for the Rockets shot.

1052
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 4: Up as far as preseason potential favorites to win the

1053
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 4: title next year?

1054
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 5: Can we don't give Katie enough grief about being a

1055
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 5: ring chaser by going to all these different teams, you

1056
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 5: know what I mean? That's I mean, if there's anybody

1057
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 5: that's a ring chaser, it's Kevin Durant, that's for sure.

1058
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 4: Well, I mean he's you can say ring chaser, but

1059
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 4: I mean this is a guy that does have a

1060
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 4: couple of them, So I mean, does that change it

1061
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 4: at all? And each ring he won, the he won

1062
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals, MVP.

1063
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 5: It just seems, you know that all these teams that

1064
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 5: he's playing for kind of takes away from his legacy?

1065
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 3: Am I wrong on that?

1066
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 5: You don't feel any different about him? But then Lebron's.

1067
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: Played for so many teams also, I mean Lebron's played

1068
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 4: for three He's played for the Heat, the Calves and

1069
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: the Lakers, and it doesn't seem like, well, I don't know,

1070
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 4: I mean.

1071
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 3: I just stop right there.

1072
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, But I mean Durant, I mean, this is

1073
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 4: only his fourth team. And again, in this modern era,

1074
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 4: people move around a little bit more. But I mean, Arnie,

1075
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 4: we don't see dude stay with one team forever anymore,

1076
00:46:58,360 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 4: do we? Right?

1077
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 3: No, I mean understand that. It just seems I think

1078
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 3: it's his fifth team.

1079
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 11: As a not.

1080
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 4: Am I wrong about that fifth? You are correct? I

1081
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 4: forgot to add on the rockets on my numbers. Okay, well,

1082
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 4: I technically if you really want to be that dude's

1083
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 4: sixth because he did spend a season with the Seattle

1084
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 4: SuperSonics before they moved. I don't know, man, I don't

1085
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 4: care about legacy talk. I guess, to be honest with you,

1086
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: it's I think legacy talk is one of those that

1087
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 4: you have when their career is over. I feel like

1088
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 4: that's become something that has been very debate show oriented, right,

1089
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 4: I Oh, what's his legacy?

1090
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 12: Like?

1091
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1092
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: He's won two rings, he won the MVP, won the

1093
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 4: finals MVP twice, he's won fifteen or he's been in

1094
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 4: the NBA All Star Game fifteen times. I think that's

1095
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 4: a pretty good number, right. I mean, he's won gold

1096
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 4: medals in the Olympics. He's you know, Oklahoma City. I

1097
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 4: know tonight they're celebrating the championship and the Durant era

1098
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 4: is very much in the rear view.

1099
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: But I'll say, bro.

1100
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 4: He was the foundation that kind of helped bring them

1101
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 4: to relevant in his third season in Oklahoma City. He

1102
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 4: took the team third fourth season in oklahom City, they

1103
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 4: went to the NBA Finals as a team that had

1104
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 4: just moved to another city. You don't get a team

1105
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 4: move to your town and instantly be good. It just

1106
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 4: doesn't happen. There's a reason they're moving, right, And Oklahoma

1107
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 4: City was able to instantly be good because they had

1108
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 4: thirty five. They had Kevin Durant. So to me, he's

1109
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 4: always kind of had that special place in my heart.

1110
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 4: I was I thought he's kind of jerkish when he

1111
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 4: was here too, but he was also young. I like

1112
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 4: what he's become, but I couldn't care less about his legacy.

1113
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 4: If that in any of those conversations, right, it makes

1114
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 4: me a bad talk show host, doesn't it.

1115
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't make you bad.

1116
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 5: It just you know, some people are like cooking all

1117
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 5: the teams he's played for. And you know back in

1118
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 5: the day when like a Karl Malone went to the Lakers,

1119
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 5: you know, people are right, but they didn't have rings, right,

1120
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 5: exactly right, You're right about that. That's the difference maker there.

1121
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant does have rings, but they really you know,

1122
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 5: you were taking the task just for Jordan what extra team?

1123
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 5: Sure things, but things are a lot different now. This

1124
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 5: is all different error of the NBA than it was

1125
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 5: back then. So I I have nothing against it. Just

1126
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 5: some people put up pictures of all the teams he

1127
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 5: played for and they're like, is he gonna play for.

1128
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 3: Every team in the NBA.

1129
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, slow down, it's only been about five so,

1130
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 5: you know, relax yourself.

1131
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 2: JJ, this is interesting, He writes.

1132
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 4: I can't even listen to your show gloating about your

1133
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 4: stolen franchises championships. The team should still be in Seattle,

1134
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 4: g D. Disgraceful the way you acquired this team. As

1135
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 4: the Great Eric the actor would say, oh well, I

1136
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 4: mean it's business man business, and what you guys had

1137
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 4: one moment whenever it's like save our Sonics and you're.

1138
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: It was the last game of the year. You stunk

1139
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 2: and you didn't go to games.

1140
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry that had happened that way, but we're

1141
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 4: not talking about something that happened.

1142
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 5: I'm surprised there was an attendance problem. They were so

1143
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 5: popular up there, Chris.

1144
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, this isn't something that happened five

1145
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 4: years ago either. I mean, boohoo, bucker, this is something

1146
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 4: that we're going back now what seventeen years. I think

1147
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 4: there's I think there's a point where you're like, all right,

1148
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 4: it's it's time to move on past this and see

1149
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 4: if you can't get an expansion franchise, because hey, Clay

1150
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 4: Bennett went out and got that job done. Don't be

1151
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 4: mad at Oklahoma City. I'd be mad at the dude

1152
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 4: that sold.

1153
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 3: Him to him.

1154
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 4: Hey, we're going to sell to this Oklahoma City billionaire.

1155
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 4: Why the hell would an Oklahoma City businessman want to

1156
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 4: keep a team in Seattle that's losing money. I mean,

1157
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 4: it's just it's it's not a it wasn't a good

1158
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 4: business deal. And I know you all have your documentary

1159
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 4: that you watch and it makes you feel really good

1160
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 4: about the way that it was stolen from you.

1161
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: But it doesn't it doesn't matter. It's been been though.

1162
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been too long now, it's been a long time.

1163
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 4: It's at some point it's like, hey, you got to

1164
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 4: move on. Maybe just maybe you get a team and

1165
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 4: you start whipping up on OKAC. Then there you go,

1166
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 4: you'll have it. You know, it'll be interesting because you

1167
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 4: did send that thing from Mark, not Mark Stein. Mark

1168
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 4: spears on ESPN. It was the most confusing and confounding

1169
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 4: thing I think I've ever read.

1170
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 5: Ways I was going to agree with you there, I'm like,

1171
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 5: what am I reading here? I'm not sure exactly are

1172
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 5: we expanding or are we not?

1173
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 3: And when are we? They said this early? Is this summer?

1174
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 3: Is that possible or what?

1175
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 4: Well? I I guess Here's here's what confused me more

1176
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 4: than anything else is you have the report and it's

1177
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 4: it's solid, right, the NBA is leaning towards possible expansion

1178
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 4: this summer, But then there's all these caveats to it.

1179
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 4: It's like, but you go from you know, having thirty

1180
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 4: teams sharing the revenue and the TV deal pie to

1181
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 4: thirty two and then you know, you don't know if

1182
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 4: the timing is right. It's not a no brainer was

1183
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 4: a term that was used. I'm like, well, and what

1184
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 4: the hell are you reporting? Are we expanding or not?

1185
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 4: Because you lay out that, you think, hey, it's it's possible,

1186
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 4: it's gonna happen, and then you give me all the

1187
00:51:58,239 --> 00:51:59,799
Speaker 4: reasons why it's not gonna happen.

1188
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: So what, I don't know what's going on here.

1189
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 5: I think what they want to do is, you know,

1190
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 5: go to one of the typical cities like what was

1191
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 5: it Seattle or in Nashville or or or whatever. You know,

1192
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 5: get one of those cities in there, and maybe Vegas obviously,

1193
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 5: and then one outside the United States. They always want

1194
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 5: to go global, so I think that's what they're trying

1195
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 5: to do this for.

1196
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 4: Do you think so when you say go global, you're

1197
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 4: not thinking they're trying to go overseas with a franchise.

1198
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 3: Right I do?

1199
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 4: I really with an NBA franchise. I don't know how

1200
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 4: they're gonna make it. Heard zero talk about that. Really,

1201
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 4: I thought it was in that article. That's what I was.

1202
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: No, it just won't work. It can't work.

1203
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 3: Quote.

1204
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 4: The league's doing good, They're about to do the europe thing.

1205
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 4: They're making money with NBA Africa, which had better attendance China.

1206
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 4: They're making a bunch of money in China. They're talking

1207
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 4: about like other teams are not moving teams there, leagues

1208
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 4: that they have that are being played over there.

1209
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 5: They're gonna you're gonna have to play more games there

1210
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 5: or something because they do want to go ahead and

1211
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 5: you know, take advantage of all the finances and the

1212
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 5: money they're making.

1213
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 4: But I know, I think you're misconstruing what they're laying out.

1214
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 4: They're not saying that they're going to put a team overseas.

1215
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 4: They're saying they've had success over there. Okay, that's at

1216
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 4: least the way that I took it, right, So what

1217
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 4: would a franchise fee be? Like what would it cost

1218
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 4: to try to to try to bring a team to

1219
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 4: your town and they just don't move them there for

1220
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 4: the good of it because they're a big market. You

1221
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 4: got to pay for it, right, So what's that look like?

1222
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, I have no idea, man, you're the

1223
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 3: money guy. I have no idea.

1224
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'm just saying right now, I can't

1225
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 4: make any sense of this because in one moment, it's like, hey,

1226
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 4: I talked to a high ranking league source that says

1227
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 4: expansion is possible. But here's all the reasons why it's

1228
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:47,479
Speaker 4: not gonna happen.

1229
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 5: Hey, then you get to Daryl, who sent this tweet

1230
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 5: in because he agrees with me. So I figure I'll

1231
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 5: read this one. Steak a genius, Arntie, you nailed it.

1232
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 5: The dude has a million jerseys now, but he is

1233
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 5: a Lebron James, so the criticism won't come.

1234
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 3: We talk about by the way, Kevin Durant.

1235
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Kevin, had Lebron had that many, had that

1236
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 5: much laundry heat me, he'd get killed and he already does.

1237
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 5: He played for three franchises. Durant is in an NBA vagabond.

1238
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 5: He wrote Golden State's coat tails, So there you go.

1239
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 4: That's from he wrote what That's what he was the

1240
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 4: NBA Finals MVP Darrel wrote.

1241
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 2: Their coat tails.

1242
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 3: Yes, that's what he said.

1243
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,439
Speaker 4: They couldn't beat Lebron without him, and then they get

1244
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 4: him and they win two rings.

1245
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 2: Come on, man, Rode, now not at all.

1246
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 5: There are people that do look at it. Where all

1247
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 5: the teams that he played for sure?

1248
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 2: Oh I'm not disagreeing with it.

1249
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm not here to try to fan or stand

1250
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 4: for one Kevin Durant tonight. That's not the case at all.

1251
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,479
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if you're going to say he wrote

1252
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 4: the coattails, I mean go back and look at the numbers. Man.

1253
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 2: He was the difference maker.

1254
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 4: In those five series, in those playoffs for the Warriors,

1255
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 4: And I think all those Warriors guys would even tell

1256
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 4: you that right now.

1257
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: But I understand the optics of it, right.

1258
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 4: The optics of it are, he went to a team

1259
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: that he couldn't beat in Oklahoma City and then won

1260
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 4: two titles with them, right and awest the way it looks.

1261
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 5: It's also I guess he couldn't get it done here

1262
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 5: or couldn't get it done in Phoenix.

1263
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 3: So I'm out of here. I'm gonna go somewhere else.

1264
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 4: Well, Brooklyn was the place I think where you look

1265
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 4: at the most right too.

1266
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 3: Forgot about all right.

1267
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 4: When we come back to the Fox Sports Radio studios,

1268
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,000

Speaker 4: Alright, he's back, Todd Furman's in the house with Ardy

1277
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 4: and Plank on Fox Sports Radio.

1278
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: What's going on, Todd? How about them Thunder?

1279
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 4: Huh?

1280
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 6: Pretty impressive. They didn't make things easy for you and

1281
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 6: the rest the Thunder fans that were out there. Look

1282
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 6: to be a little bit touch and go, trailing by

1283
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 6: a point at the half, and then the Thunder found

1284
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 6: another gear. Unfortunately. I hate to see the way things

1285
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 6: played out for the Pacers. You'd like to see the

1286
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 6: Thunder beat them at full strength, but it shouldn't detract

1287
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 6: from anything OKC was able to accomplish. When you look

1288
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 6: at the three year trajectory from twenty four wins to

1289
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 6: one of the best teams that we've seen arguably an

1290
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 6: NBA history, is what they were able to do on

1291
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 6: the defensive end of the floor all season long.

1292
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, big big money coming in on Game seven tonight,

1293
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 5: or it was just pretty much average.

1294
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 6: No, I mean, it's always going to get a little

1295
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 6: bit more aggressive in terms of the betting handle. I mean,

1296
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 6: we're starting to enter the dog days of summer, as

1297
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 6: it pertains to sports betters, so they're looking for any

1298
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 6: single way they can get themselves involved. But surprisingly enough,

1299
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 6: a lot of the books that I spoke to said

1300
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 6: they saw a lot of Pacers tickets come in from

1301
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 6: the recreational betters, thinking that this indie team as a

1302
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 6: team of destiny, so to speak, and the wake of

1303
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 6: that dominant game six performance would carry over. Interestingly enough,

1304
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 6: the Thunder were this spot once already this postseason, when

1305
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 6: they appeared to be undervalued from a true number standpoint.

1306
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 6: They exceeded Oddsmaker's expectations against the Nuggets, and they did

1307
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 6: so again tonight in stylish fashion.

1308
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 4: First team since twenty thirteen the Miami Heat to be

1309
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 4: in two game sevens during their playoff run, which kind

1310
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 4: of surprised me. Hey, Todd, are we waiting for one

1311
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 4: of those attention seeking books somewhere to say we'll refund

1312
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 4: all the Pacers tickets and the Halliburton over unders at

1313
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 4: some point here tonight? Oh they did already, there you go.

1314
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I figure there's some books out there already. They

1315
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 6: want to do everything they can to try and incentivize

1316
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 6: people to keep their money in play with their particular

1317
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 6: establishments as we enter about a sixty day blackout period,

1318
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 6: so to speak. No offense of those folks out there

1319
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 6: listening to bet Major League Baseball or who may be

1320
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 6: glued to the edge of their seat next Sunday night

1321
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 6: for Costa Rica and Tmusa in the quarterfinals of the

1322
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 6: Gold Cup. Not exactly items on the sporting calendar that

1323
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 6: move the needle the same way as the NFL or

1324
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 6: the NBA playoffs.

1325
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 3: You know, Todd, I'm just curious on this.

1326
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 5: You know, you can't obviously bet Oklahoma City to win

1327
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 5: it be as they want it, So yeah, you can't

1328
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 5: bet it. Are they going to take off betting the

1329
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference next year since the Knicks already won it?

1330
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 5: Because Indiana's out and Boston's out now, so there's really

1331
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 5: nobody left, right, I.

1332
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 6: Mean, apparently not. The Knicks are just going to roll

1333
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 6: out the red carpet. They're going to play without a coach,

1334
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 6: and they're gonna find a way to win the Eastern Conference.

1335
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 6: So I figure, Arnie, you go through your rule of

1336
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 6: decks there, you might want to see if Whoopy Goldberg

1337
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 6: wants to dust offer coaching manual from doing such a

1338
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 6: tremendous job playing the role of Eddie which he was

1339
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 6: in charge of the Knicks. But uh, maybe it's just

1340
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 6: Rick Brunson that Jalen goes, picks up the phone and goes, Dad,

1341
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 6: it's your time to shine. You're going to be the

1342
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 6: man in charge. And not a team that I would

1343
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 6: back at such short odds. Oh, give these tremendous respect

1344
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 6: that odds makers are paying to the Knicks.

1345
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 5: Right now, the second favorite to win the NBA Championship.

1346
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 5: It's already guaranteed they're going to go to the Championship.

1347
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 5: I already text Shapiro to give me the week off

1348
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 5: when the Knicks are or in the Championship next year.

1349
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think that's going to be the case,

1350
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 6: but hey, dream big, Arenie. I I have love that

1351
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 6: kind of effort. But I will say, you know, if

1352
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 6: you're looking further down the board, I mean and trying

1353
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 6: to make a case for a long shot or two,

1354
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 6: a team that no doubt benefits from the Pacers injury

1355
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 6: to Tyre's Halliburton, which will probably keep him shelved for

1356
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 6: a long period of time, and you don't want to

1357
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 6: speculate you know, you would think to Detroit Pistons, maybe

1358
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 6: take the next step forward and we'll see what the

1359
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 6: seventy six ers do to kind of retool their roster

1360
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 6: as well.

1361
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 4: You know, Todd, I get it that it's going to

1362
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 4: get lost in the finals, in the NBA Finals tonight,

1363
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 4: But tossing a manager in the first inning of a

1364
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 4: championship game, what'd you make of the decision in Omaha today?

1365
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 4: And not going to say that it changed the outcome

1366
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 4: or anything of that nature, but just come on, that

1367
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 4: was a little bit much, wasn't it.

1368
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 6: I mean, under the guys of excessive conversation, if that

1369
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 6: was the case, Arnie would be outliving a single life

1370
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 6: because his wife would have tossed him out a long

1371
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 6: time ago. So apparently the umpire much thinner skin than

1372
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 6: what we see going on. You hate to see it

1373
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 6: in a game of that magnitude. And to my underst

1374
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 6: and I won't claim again to be a college baseball expert,

1375
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 6: that he wouldn't have been available should this have gone

1376
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 6: to a rush take all game three, given the rules

1377
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 6: of college baseball. So just a little bit surprising that

1378
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 6: the umpire wanted to steal the show. But it shouldn't

1379
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 6: attract from anything coach that was able to accomplish and

1380
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 6: much less LSU on the other side, who leaned into

1381
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 6: two dominant pitching performances and a somewhat favorable road to

1382
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 6: return to the top of college baseball glory.

1383
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, Todd, serious question here.

1384
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 5: The Kevin Durant story was leaked out during the fan fest,

1385
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 5: that fanatics fest because obviously he was there.

1386
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 3: Look, they had the information beforehand.

1387
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 5: What do you think, do you will you get the

1388
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 5: information on Giannis whether he goes back to Milwaukee or

1389
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 5: goes to another team ahead of like the public, And

1390
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 5: do you run to the sports book before the odds changed,

1391
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 5: because look what happened to the Rockets. They're like eight

1392
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 5: and a half to one now, you'd love to get

1393
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,479
Speaker 5: them when they were twenty to one or something like that.

1394
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 6: It's all about information and that's the one thing that's

1395
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 6: much different in sports betting than when you're trading a

1396
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 6: financial You can keep your political opinions aside in terms

1397
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 6: of how people try and utilize perfect information to beat

1398
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 6: the market before it moves, whether it's the Kevin Durant

1399
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 6: situation or NHL free agency that we'll go into an

1400
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 6: earnest as well on July first. It's all an information game,

1401
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 6: but the one tool that bookmakers have working in their

1402
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 6: favors they can profile a lot of their customers and

1403
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 6: if they happen to see irregular betting patterns around a

1404
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 6: team or player or something along those lines, they'll move

1405
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 6: the number and nothing illegal about it. So I'm sure

1406
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 6: there may be a couple of folks out there that

1407
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 6: are privy to that information before it came widely available.

1408
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 6: But you're exactly right. Much better to have the Houston

1409
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 6: Rockets at sixteen or eighteen to one, and then the

1410
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 6: way they're currently being priced in the market right now,

1411
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 6: moving up to the second favorite in the Western Conference,

1412
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 6: behind of course, the defending NBA champions.

1413
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 4: So todd for you. I know that you like to bet,

1414
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 4: or at least keep an eye on what's going on

1415
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 4: in NASCAR. Interesting race today with the rain delay, But

1416
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 4: what else for you during this downtime? Do you take

1417
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 4: some time off or you getting into baseball or do

1418
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 4: you really start diving into what the grid picks are

1419
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 4: going to look like as we get closer the late

1420
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 4: August early September.

1421
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 6: No baseball for me, it's really a talent chance to

1422
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 6: buckle down and get myself ready for both the college

1423
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 6: and pro football seas, and that work has largely been underway,

1424
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 6: you know, going all the way back to you know,

1425
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 6: late March early April, and that puts me, even me

1426
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 6: behind the eight ball when you're talking about win totals

1427
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 6: and some of the conference futures that available. The nice

1428
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 6: part about the NASCAR schedule is you can't do a

1429
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 6: ton of work during the course of the week. Most

1430
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 6: of the heavy lifting will come once cars onload and

1431
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 6: you begin to identify who's going to be good in

1432
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 6: terms of some of the buy on or sell candidates

1433
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 6: that's out there. And look, I won't ever claim to

1434
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 6: be the smartest man in the room, but I do

1435
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 6: surround myself with people that happen to have great information.

1436
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 6: So I will dabble a little bit in golf, although

1437
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 6: after running back, you know, golfers over the last three

1438
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 6: weeks that have finished in the top three not coming

1439
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 6: in to win a tournament. It can frustrate even the

1440
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 6: best of us. But it's why we play the game,

1441
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 6: and it's why money management is so important. To know

1442
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 6: your strength and weaknesses, to try and be able to

1443
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 6: identify opportunities regardless of what sport they present themselves in.

1444
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 5: Well, you and some of your degenerate fans drive into

1445
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 5: the are your degenerate gamblers?

1446
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 3: You bet the preseason football? Right? You got to get

1447
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 3: into that, right, I.

1448
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 6: Mean, Arnie, you've been telling me for years the preseason

1449
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 6: is the.

1450
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 2: Free season he had because he was so bad going.

1451
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 6: Up to work in early September every single year. Eventually

1452
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 6: you're going to be able to make so much money

1453
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 6: bet in the NFL preseason you'll be able to retire.

1454
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 6: But yes, the preseason does provide opportunities. But like a

1455
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 6: lot of the other sporting ventures and pursuits that are

1456
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 6: out there, you know, some of the edges dry up

1457
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 6: a lot faster these days than what they would have

1458
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 6: if you were betting any of these things ten to

1459
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 6: fifteen years ago. Oh yeah, it really becomes a challenge,

1460
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 6: and you have to be willing to put in the

1461
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 6: time and the work to prepare yourself for that the

1462
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 6: same way you do for the regular season of both

1463
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 6: like pro college football.

1464
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 5: Already, I was bad last year on the preseason first time,

1465
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 5: and you're bad every year. No first time, first time.

1466
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 5: I was bad, Todd, I couldn't believe it.

1467
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 6: I thank Plank. It's not a lie. If you believe it,

1468
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 6: that's it's not a variety of different fronts.

1469
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 4: Hands a line, all right, Todd, I have a great week, buddy.

1470
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 4: We appreciate it. Man, thanks you time.

1471
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 6: Always a pleasure in playing State safe out there. I

1472
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 6: know as soon as you get off with Arnie, you'll

1473
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 6: be headed right down to Bricktown to celebra all the

1474
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 6: other crazy Thunder fans out there.

1475
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 2: I'm in, I'm in.

1476
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna they're gonna leave everything open until

1477
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 4: I get there. So that's what makes me happy. All right,

1478
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 4: when we come back, we got your tweets that we

1479
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 4: need to get to. But first, Steve de Seger is

1480
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 4: in the house with everything that's trending. What's going on, Steve,

1481
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 4: we have.

1482
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 8: The Oklahoma City Thunder is NBA champions after taking Game

1483
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 8: seven at home to end the NBA Finals tonight against

1484
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 8: Indiana one oh three ninety one. So that was actually

1485
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 8: the most lopsided Game seven of the Finals of the

1486
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,480
Speaker 8: last fifty years, a twelve point win. Shay Giljas Alexander

1487
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 8: the series MVP twenty nine points, twelve assists just one turnover.

1488
01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 8: Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers left in the first quarter

1489
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 8: with an achilles injury, so overall the home team still dominates. Finals.

1490
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 8: Game seven sixteen and four is the record, and it

1491
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 8: was a great homes ski edule for the Thunder regular

1492
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 8: and postseeds. In fact, in the playoffs, eleven and two

1493
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 8: at home, and the Thunder did not lose the turnover

1494
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 8: battle at home in any playoff game this postseason at

1495
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 8: home wow Pacers with twenty one turnovers at OKC tonight,

1496
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 8: The Suns are trading Kevin Durant to Houston. Among the

1497
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 8: WNBA games, Seattle beat New York, which had been ten

1498
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 8: and two. Las Vegas a winner over Indiana Jaguars rookie

1499
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 8: Travis Hunter signed. He reportedly gets a thirty million dollars signing.

1500
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 8: Bonus Chargers training camp starts in less than a month.

1501
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 8: Players report July sixteen they'll be playing in the Hall

1502
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 8: of Fame exhibition in late July. Keegan Bradley won the

1503
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 8: Travelers by one stroke. In Connecticut, US men's soccer defeated

1504
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 8: Haight two to one. The Americans will play a quarterfinal

1505
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 8: next Sunday against Costa Rica. The Gold Cup tournament is

1506
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 8: on Fox and FS one. LSU won the College World Series,

1507
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 8: beating Coastal Carolina again five to three to baseball wins

1508
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 8: for the Padres, Giants and Dodgers. LA was down three

1509
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 8: to nothing in the six but still defeated Washington thirteen

1510
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 8: to seven. Max Munsey a Grand Slam and a three

1511
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 8: run homer, and the Phillies beat the Mets seven to one.

1512
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 8: The Mets offense tonight four for thirty one, and that

1513
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 8: includes a late homer by Francisco Lindor, So the streak

1514
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 8: is over, ARENI that we brought.

1515
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 3: Up last night solo home runs.

1516
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 8: The Mets had won twenty eight straight games when Lindor homered.

1517
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, regular season until tonight, when a meaningless home run.

1518
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 3: Was short of the record.

1519
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 8: That is correct. The records still twenty nine straight wins

1520
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 8: for a team when a certain player homers. In this

1521
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 8: case it was the Brooklyn Dodgers Carl Farrillo in the

1522
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 8: early nineteen fifties. Back to you, thanks, Steve.

1534
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a couple of them. Just one was set

1535
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 5: to both of us, but some of them are just

1536
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 5: sent to me for some reason.

1537
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

1538
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 4: Well, pop Cranger, he writes, I can understand the idea

1539
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 4: that Kevin Duran is a ring chaser because he moves

1540
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 4: to a team, he takes a back seat to what

1541
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 4: drives their success, Warriors deferring to him as the number

1542
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 4: one when he won two finals. MVP Lebron actively assumes

1543
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 4: the GM role when he joins a team. Katie passively

1544
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 4: does his best while proclaiming not to be a leader.

1545
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's a.

1546
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 4: Little bit of a different because Katie's like, I'm not

1547
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 4: a leader, man, I just like to go play ball.

1548
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 5: I don't know maybe I'd misunderstood your thoughts on this,

1549
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 5: but I think more people it bothered by Kevin Durant

1550
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 5: being on so many teams.

1551
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 3: Sure you're not wrong, Okay.

1552
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're absolutely right. Uh was there any more that

1553
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 4: were sent to just you that you wanted to hit?

1554
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 3: Oh? No, No, the rest of us is to both

1555
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 3: of us, I think.

1556
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 2: Okay, the dab crab whom I love.

1557
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, you know I love your show, but as

1558
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 4: a lifelong Sonics fan, I'm taking tonight off? Oh say,

1559
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 4: what's up to Arnie for me? Why would you take

1560
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:28,440
Speaker 4: tonight off? Come on, man, he's not happy. It's mooweet.

1561
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 5: It's like your ex wife getting remarried to a doctor

1562
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 5: that's a billionaire.

1563
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

1564
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 2: What's wrong with that? You don't have to pay child support?

1565
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 5: I always wondered what would happen if, like your ex

1566
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,599
Speaker 5: got married to a billionaire.

1567
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 3: And you were on good terms? Would she give you

1568
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 3: some money?

1569
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 2: Which is no, it's an X. What are you talking about?

1570
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 5: But you know I feel bad that we're divorced. Then

1571
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 5: you give you like five or ten mil?

1572
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 3: Have you gone through a divorce before?

1573
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 12: No?

1574
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 3: Shut up.

1575
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 2: Here's one from UCLA Dodger Frank.

1576
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 4: I mean until you've gone through, and I wonder if

1577
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 4: someone will be like, hey, you want some money.

1578
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 3: I give you a ten mil about that.

1579
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 4: A divorce is the worst because one side is very

1580
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 4: jaded and it never ends.

1581
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 3: Well.

1582
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 4: I let these people like we had a very very

1583
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 4: it was a good divorce. No, it's not screaming and

1584
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 4: yell and I.

1585
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 5: Bet there's amicable.

1586
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 4: Right, No, no such thing, UCLA Dodger Frank writes to

1587
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 4: us tonight on Twitter. The biggest losers in the NBA

1588
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 4: this week have to be the Clippers. First, their crosstown rivals,

1589
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 4: The Lakers sell to an owner who will spend, spend,

1590
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 4: and then spend, and then the Oklahoma City Thunder win

1591
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 4: a championship, kicking sand in their face for trading away

1592
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 4: sg A.

1593
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bomber's rough night for Ben Maller, Arnie.

1594
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

1595
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 5: Also Barber is if there's any silver lining, it's that

1596
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 5: he has the team in the same city, that that

1597
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 5: team is worth ten bill. He got his team for

1598
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 5: two billion, so he's thinking he got a pretty good

1599
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 5: deal on the whole thing, you know.

1600
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 4: But it's also it's also like saying you've got well

1601
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 4: I was trying to make some sort of Coca Cola

1602
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 4: comparison to mister Pib. But I like mister Pib better.

1603
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 4: I love mister It's almost as if you got like

1604
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 4: Pepsi light or something. You got the Clippers, man, you

1605
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 4: didn't get the Lakers. There's it's obviously gonna be worth

1606
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 4: more money because they're the Lakers, right, I see what

1607
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 4: you're saying.

1608
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 3: You feel like that's four times five times the value.

1609
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 4: Would you say the Lakers are that much more valuable

1610
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:34,799
Speaker 4: than the Clippers.

1611
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's that much more.

1612
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 5: Obviously, there may be, you know, it was like ten

1613
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 5: to five, then I would say that sounds a little

1614
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 5: bit more reasonable.

1615
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: But it knows this is pretty good.

1616
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 4: From nature Boy, Eddie writes, I gotta admit the Sonics

1617
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 4: to Thunder transition sure is plenty different from the Cincinnati

1618
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 4: Royals to the Sacramento Kings. I get how Seattle must

1619
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 4: feel today. Well, I mean, I was thinking to myself

1620
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 4: on Friday night we had a conversation about tortured fan bases. Yeah,

1621
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 4: and I mean I feel like I'm in that with

1622
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 4: the Raiders. You're in that with all of your teams

1623
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 4: because they all stink right now. But I was I

1624
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 4: was kind of worrying a little bit because had Oklahoma

1625
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 4: City lost in a Game seven where they were up

1626
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,480
Speaker 4: three games to two and everyone was talking about parades,

1627
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, you get the game

1628
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,759
Speaker 4: seven where buses were being painted.

1629
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: I was starting to think to myself.

1630
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 4: Oof, could Oklahoma City end up in kind of one

1631
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 4: of those cursed slash torture fan bases mindset if they

1632
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 4: lose this game because of the way they left Seattle

1633
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 4: and kind of how it's viewed that they stole the

1634
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 4: team from Seattle. Thankfully though, Rnie, I don't have to

1635
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 4: worry about that here tonight, so it's not an issue.

1636
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 5: Go with the other tortured fan base, maybe Portland with

1637
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 5: that well, this Portland was on the list very high

1638
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 5: because I think people forget Oklahoma City was able to

1639
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 5: do what.

1640
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 4: Portland, Utah, and I guess maybe to an a lesser,

1641
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,759
Speaker 4: lesser extent outside of seventy nine, were the Sonics weren't

1642
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 4: able to do? You know, all teams that made the

1643
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 4: finals against the Bulls and the Pistons and the oh gosh,

1644
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 4: who else was in that mix in the East for

1645
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 4: a while there, well, basically the Bulls and the Pistons

1646
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 4: and they could never get it done right, and now

1647
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 4: you get the thunder that end up getting it done.

1648
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 4: So it's kind of for those torturit fan bases a

1649
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 4: little bit more of salt in that wounds.

1650
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 5: Never recovered from that loss to the Lakers when they

1651
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,839
Speaker 5: blew a sixteen point lead. I believe it was sixteen

1652
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,640
Speaker 5: point lead and the Lakers went on to win the

1653
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 5: Championship with Kobe and Chack that year.

1654
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 4: This all started after Arkansas blew their lead on Wednesday night.

1655
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:33,759
Speaker 3: Oh I saw that.

1656
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 4: That was horrible because now the last three trips that

1657
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 4: they've made of the World Series have just been three

1658
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 4: to the last four have just been disasters. They had

1659
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 4: to drop the foul ball that if they catch it,

1660
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 4: it wins the World Series for him, and it falls

1661
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 4: between three guys they have that dude gets hit by

1662
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 4: a fly ball this year. I mean, it's just tortured.

1663
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 4: It's maybe even cursed. But that's a fun list. We'll

1664
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 4: save that topic for a July afternoon. Art Absolutely this

1665
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 4: one for mister nobody. I don't doubt the Lakers will

1666
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 4: be better, but remember the NBA has a salary tack,

1667
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,320
Speaker 4: a salary cap, and a luxury tax. So they've got

1668
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 4: to have the right people in charge. They got deep pockets. Yeah,

1669
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 4: well they have deep pockets. With Walters, you got to

1670
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 4: be happy, I mean your Dodgings. Yeah, have him as

1671
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 4: an owner. The Lakers are the owner. You know, I

1672
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 4: was surprised when this all came down. I always thought

1673
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 4: that Genie Buss was gonna hold it as a family thing.

1674
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 4: And you know, I went to high school obviously with her,

1675
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 4: and I just thought.

1676
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 3: It was cool that her and Jeanie and Jimmy and.

1677
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 5: But then you could see there was a divide there.

1678
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 5: Even though they I guess they kissed it made up.

1679
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 5: I think that was part of the problem. But that's

1680
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:43,799
Speaker 5: a lot of money.

1681
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, the bus fed, We didn't have a boatload of money.

1682
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 5: This was their business. There wasn't another business on the

1683
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 5: side or where they made their money.

1684
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 3: This was their business. Then, yeah, the Lakers absolutely.

1685
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 4: Now you've got a they got a guy that's got

1686
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 4: a couple of nuns in front of that bee out

1687
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 4: there helping, you know, I mean billion helping. You try

1688
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 4: to go get players and add more assets, and then

1689
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 4: there's Paul Real quick off Twitter before we grab a break,

1690
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 4: who writes, I live in a world where OKC is

1691
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 4: one of sports title Before Buffalo, there's maybe the ultimate

1692
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 4: tortured fan base.

1693
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 3: Hony True, Oh, Buffalo, I totally agree. Well, you live it,

1694
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 3: then you live it with bath right.

1695
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:26,719
Speaker 5: Oh, it's it's it's terrible for they lost their basketball team,

1696
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 5: the Buffalo Braves who went on to becoming the Clippers,

1697
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 5: and torture that fan base. So it's like a double

1698
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 5: torture there, and obviously what's going on with the Bills

1699
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:36,520
Speaker 5: and the Sabers.

1700
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 3: It's just been horrible. Absolutely.

1701
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 4: When we come back to the Fox Sports Radio studios,

1702
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 4: Disaga with all the news notes and tidbits we missed

1703
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio, A right area is the man,

1704
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 4: the myth, the legend.

1705
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 2: Steve to say, you're with everything.

1706
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 8: You guys talked about the tortured fan bases.

1707
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 4: That's right.

1708
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 8: Our boss, Justifiable annually talks about to get jokes in Minneapolis,

1709
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 8: who haven't had a Pro sports winner since the nineteen

1710
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 8: ninety one Twins, Cincinnati, Ohio since the nineteen ninety Reds.

1711
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 8: You mentioned Portland since the nineteen seventy seven Blazers. Buffalo

1712
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 8: was just mentioned. Since the nineteen sixty five Bills title

1713
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 8: that was an AFL championship beating the Chargers. The city

1714
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 8: of San Diego has not had a title since nineteen

1715
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 8: sixty three, since the AFL Chargers won the title and

1716
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 8: the Padres started as a National League team in the

1717
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 8: late sixties. It's been a while. They have been to

1718
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 8: the World Series twice and got their clocks cleaned in

1719
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 8: each of these.

1720
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 3: Garber right Steve Garbine nineteen.

1721
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 8: Eighty four and then against a SUPERB Detroit team they

1722
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,799
Speaker 8: lost pretty quickly there, and then against a SUPERB Yankees

1723
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 8: team in ninety eight, lost pretty quickly there. So the

1724
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 8: Padres are one in eight all time in World Series

1725
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 8: games and San Diego did have the NBA for four

1726
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 8: years around nineteen seventy. How did the Houston Rockets get

1727
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 8: the nickname. It's not because of NASA in Houston. They

1728
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 8: were originally the San Diego Rockets because of defense contracts. Yes,

1729
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 8: they were called that because rockets were made in San Diego.

1730
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 8: It's just a coincidence that they.

1731
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:13,679
Speaker 3: Had AMaGA slippers.

1732
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 8: Now, the Clippers came from the Buffalo Braves in the

1733
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 8: nineteen seventies. This is a decade before pat Riley I

1734
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 8: believe played for the San Diego Rockets and Rick Adelman

1735
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 8: as well, but City of San Diego has not had

1736
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 8: a title since nineteen sixty three.

1737
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 3: San Diego kissed the doors unless you.

1738
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 8: Count like indoor soccer things like that. As for the

1739
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,200
Speaker 8: title at Oklahoma City, it was a game seven win

1740
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 8: for the Thunder one oh three ninety one over Indiana,

1741
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 8: which means shay Gilgis Alexander in the same season has

1742
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 8: the scoring title, MVP Trophy and now Finals MVP. That

1743
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 8: hasn't been done since Shaquille O'Neal in two thousand, a

1744
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 8: dominant season for him and the Lakers. Kareem As a

1745
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 8: youngster in nineteen seventy one did that, and Michael Jordan

1746
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 8: four times in the nineties won Scoring Title, MVP and

1747
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 8: Finals MVP all in the same year. And we can

1748
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 8: update the stat about how the Thunder generally blew people

1749
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 8: out this year. They finish including postseason, with a plus

1750
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 8: twelve point per game differential compared to their opponents averaging

1751
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 8: a twelve point win. In other words, over all these games,

1752
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:30,799
Speaker 8: regular season and playoffs, that's nearly the record Kareem's Bucks

1753
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 8: the champs of seventy one was twelve point six points for.

1754
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 3: Different they and nineteen and two after losses.

1755
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,799
Speaker 8: This is the stunning thing is after a loss nineteen

1756
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 8: and two including playoffs, which means you just can't get

1757
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 8: them into a losing streak. That is the best such record,

1758
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,719
Speaker 8: by the way, in such games in a single season

1759
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 8: all time. So you have the thunder franchise. Yes, originally

1760
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 8: in Seattle. It moved to Oklahoma City in two thousand

1761
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 8: and eight, and you brought it this up briefly that

1762
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 8: Kevin Durant in the early days, of course, was already

1763
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 8: there with this franchise. People have seen the Seattle Jerseys

1764
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 8: right with him. Anyway, four years, fourth year in OKC,

1765
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 8: they made the finals. Two years after that, made a

1766
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 8: conference finals two years after that. They had Golden State

1767
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 8: in the conference finals in twenty sixteen and lost game

1768
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 8: seven to the Warriors. After that, for Oklahoma City it

1769
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,799
Speaker 8: was seven straight years without winning a single playoff series

1770
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,719
Speaker 8: until the Coach of the Year last year in fifty

1771
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 8: seven wins and the titleists this year going sixty eight

1772
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:37,640
Speaker 8: and fourteen. By the way, the Seattle Sonics did win

1773
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 8: an NBA title nineteen seventy nine. The Pacers franchise had

1774
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 8: not been in a finals since Reggie Miller in two thousand.

1775
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 8: Tyres Halliburton was born in two thousand. This franchise won

1776
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 8: ABA titles. They showed the banners during the broadcast this

1777
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 8: past week nineteen seventy nineteen seventy, two seventy three, they

1778
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 8: won the ABA crown. But then after that league fold

1779
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 8: with the Red, White, and Blue basketballs. The Pacers, like

1780
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 8: the Spurs, were part of the merger with the NBA

1781
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 8: in nineteen seventy six.

1782
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 3: And that's the Nuggets, right, That's still.

1783
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 8: No NBA title, though, for the Pacers got so close

1784
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 8: here and notable how close they got because on January first,

1785
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 8: the win loss record for the Indiana Pacers was sixteen

1786
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 8: and eighteen. They went on to regular season against Oklahoma City,

1787
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 8: this dominant team, and you know they earned a four seed.

1788
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 8: I think we can put it that way. Indiana is

1789
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 8: still the only still there has been only one team

1790
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 8: seeded lower than third to win a title, and that

1791
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 8: was Akeem's Houston Rockets in nineteen ninety five. At least

1792
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 8: since this playoff format began about forty years.

1793
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 3: Ago they were the sixth seed right in the end.

1794
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 8: They were. That was stunning. And by the way, Sportsnet

1795
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 8: in Canada make sure to point out that the reigning

1796
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 8: Finals MVP in the NBA is Canadian Shay Gilgess Alexander

1797
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 8: and the Raining Hockey Consme Trophy winner this past week,

1798
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,440
Speaker 8: Sam Bennett is Canadian, and they point out that technically

1799
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 8: the reigning World Series MVP is because Freddie Freeman's parents

1800
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 8: are Canadian.

1801
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 4: I didn't know that one slid that one under wire.

1802
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 4: All right, thanks Steve. Hey, we got a buttload of

1803
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 4: tweets to get to. It's a celebration night. We haven't

1804
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 4: even heard from Mark Dagnall or Shay Gilgess. Alexander will

1805
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 4: do that when we get back. Oklahoma City has won

1806
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:29,759
Speaker 4: an NBA championship, the Thunder first title in franchise history,

1807
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 4: and we're talking about it next on Fox Sports Radio.

1808
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1809
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 4: Now, the Thunder Champs. You heard it from the SEGA,

1810
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 4: My Thunder.

1811
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 3: You hate when I say that.

1812
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 4: No, it's you've sat here and you've crushed them for

1813
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 4: the better part. How long have these playoffs been going on?

1814
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 4: Six months?

1815
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 3: Two and a half months.

1816
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, yeah, wow, we have not heard yet from

1817
01:20:59,320 --> 01:20:59,799
Speaker 4: the champs.

1818
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 3: So let's do that here.

1819
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure you're as you are now, they're

1820
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 4: number one fan. I'm sure you're a big fan of

1821
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 4: their coach.

1822
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 3: Right.

1823
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 7: Oh?

1824
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:07,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

1825
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 8: What's his name?

1826
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,840
Speaker 4: Mark Diagno, not even close to the pronunciation, close enough,

1827
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 4: but you got close enough.

1828
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 13: They behave like champions, they compete like champions. They root

1829
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:23,879
Speaker 13: for each other's success, which is rare in professional sports.

1830
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 13: I've said it many times. I'm gonna say one more time.

1831
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 13: This is an uncommon team and nother championship.

1832
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, now we're here.

1833
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,640
Speaker 3: His name when he goes the coaches the Knicks.

1834
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's gonna be tough. You know, his

1835
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 4: wife coaches here in Oklahoma too, damn. So it's been

1836
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 4: a good run for Mark and his wife, Ashley, because

1837
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 4: she won a national championship as an assistant with OU

1838
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 4: women's gymnastics, and now Mark wins an NBA title with

1839
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 4: the Thunder in his I'm trying to this off top

1840
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 4: of I have fourth fifth year, not too bad, by

1841
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:58,759
Speaker 4: the way, sixth year because he's the second longest tenured,

1842
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 4: our third longest tenured coach in the NBA.

1843
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy, really if you think about.

1844
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 4: That, because I mean, it's it's wild to think about it.

1845
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 4: But with all the firings that have taken place and

1846
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 4: the movement, I mean Tom Tom Thibodeaux was third longest

1847
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 4: and now he's gone. We're getting Mike Brown, so that

1848
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 4: that's okay. You know, he had a good run at Sacramento.

1849
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 4: He took Sacramento back to the playoffs whenever we thought

1850
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 4: they were gonna have a great future. One more from

1851
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 4: one more here from Dagnault, real quick, talking about just

1852
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 4: being grateful to be in that moment.

1853
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 13: For more, it was a dream for everybody here at

1854
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 13: one point in our lives. There's one point where we

1855
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 13: didn't know if we're going to be in the NBA,

1856
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 13: from players to.

1857
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: Staff to coaches.

1858
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 3: It's a privilege. We're incredibly grateful for you.

1859
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, Chris, maybe I didn't make myself

1860
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 5: I didn't make myself clear.

1861
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:48,719
Speaker 3: And now we're number one.

1862
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 4: Go ahead.

1863
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 3: But so I'll try to say it again. I'm really

1864
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:52,919
Speaker 3: not sure.

1865
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 5: I mean, the year Oklahoma City had has just been phenomenal. Okay,

1866
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 5: As you mentioned earlier, one of the best years the

1867
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 5: team's had in the entire NBA. But when I look

1868
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 5: at their team, yes, they have a superstar in Sga,

1869
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 5: But once again, Williams is a good player.

1870
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:10,839
Speaker 3: Ched Holmgum's a good player.

1871
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 5: And I haven't done this, but I bet you if

1872
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 5: I went through with the NBA roster, I could probably

1873
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 5: come up with ten teams that have a bigger three

1874
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 5: than Oklahoma City.

1875
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 4: I'm okay it or no?

1876
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I'm not gonna go. It's gonna take

1877
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 5: so long for me to do that. But am I

1878
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 5: wrong about that?

1879
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that's that's crazy or what?

1880
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 4: I would say that you're gonna have a hard time

1881
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 4: finding a team that has a better two. They just

1882
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 4: won a title and they won eighty They when they

1883
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 4: finished wins Wy's in the season, they won sixty eight games.

1884
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 5: So like when you take like Lebron and Luca or

1885
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 5: something like that, you know.

1886
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 4: Sure more high profile, absolutely, but did they want a

1887
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 4: title this year?

1888
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 2: No?

1889
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 3: But that's see.

1890
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 5: I'll give him credit because I think you did it,

1891
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 5: but it's more of a team effort for Oklahoma City.

1892
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 3: I look, I think, why.

1893
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 2: Are you holding that against them?

1894
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not holding against them.

1895
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:07,759
Speaker 5: I think they're good players, but I just don't think

1896
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 5: they're like a big three when we talk about a

1897
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 5: big three in general, like like boss of that, Tatum

1898
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 5: and Brown, Uh and White. To me, that's a better

1899
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 5: three than what Oklahoma City has.

1900
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,440
Speaker 3: But I could be wrong on that. I would disagree.

1901
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 4: I mean, Shay just won the league MVP, right and

1902
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,679
Speaker 4: I would take Listen, I don't know if Oklahoma City

1903
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 4: has a three. I think chet Holmgren is a unicorn,

1904
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 4: and it looks like they're very committed to him, and

1905
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 4: I think they should be. But add lou Dord into that,

1906
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 4: you know, where does he factor in for the future

1907
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 4: of this team. He's a pretty major part of what

1908
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 4: they've done. So maybe you're right, But who cares?

1909
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 11: Right?

1910
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 2: Why does that matter?

1911
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 3: Right now?

1912
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 4: Are you getting are you? Are you bucking up here

1913
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 4: to fight with steven A. Smith tomorrow or something about

1914
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 4: the popularity of the team. I don't care. I got

1915
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,639
Speaker 4: rings in my ears right now. I can't hear you talking.

1916
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 3: No, I'm not pulling a steven A. Smith. I'm not

1917
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 3: doing that.

1918
01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 4: I've got confetti. I can't see your take right now.

1919
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 4: It's falling in my face. Who cares well, I don't

1920
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 4: care about your TV ratings either. I don't care about

1921
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 4: hurt feelings in Seattle.

1922
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm wondering what their TV ratings are going

1923
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 5: to be. Though, I'm curious about that.

1924
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 3: I know he's probably not going to be good.

1925
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:19,400
Speaker 4: Mark Dagnault was the head coach of the Oklahoma City

1926
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 4: Blue in twenty nineteen, Arnie. That was his previous head

1927
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 4: coaching job before he was hired with the Thunder as

1928
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 4: their head coach in nine and twenty two. Think about that.

1929
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 4: So whenever you're losing your mind, it's like, gosh, we

1930
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 4: keep missing out on all these coaching guys. When Mark

1931
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 4: Dagnault was hired by the Oklahoma City Thunder in twenty twenty,

1932
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 4: whenever he was, you know, thirty five years old, I

1933
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:42,719
Speaker 4: don't think a lot of people were losing their minds

1934
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 4: about that higher And now he's got an NBA time.

1935
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 3: Well, you're just making my point for me. You know that.

1936
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 3: You know when I say about coaching, so oh.

1937
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 4: Hold on here. If you're going to try to say

1938
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 4: he doesn't matter just because he's not a big gay,

1939
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 4: a big name.

1940
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,919
Speaker 3: The same crap coaching in general, for the most part.

1941
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 4: No again, you're you're you're twisting this. It's because he's

1942
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 4: not a big name and you're given. I've just given

1943
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 4: he's a hell of a coach. Then why would you well,

1944
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 4: I mean, you've got the Knicks up there at number two,

1945
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:12,679
Speaker 4: they're gonna win the title next year and you don't

1946
01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 4: even know who.

1947
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 3: Again, that's my boy.

1948
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,759
Speaker 5: The Knicks are number two to win the NBA Championship

1949
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 5: and they don't even have a coach.

1950
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,759
Speaker 3: They're like, who cares? Doesn't make a different too their coaches.

1951
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 2: It's gambling. It's not real life scambling.

1952
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 4: You're if you're gonna base everything on what an odds

1953
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 4: tell you, then you're gonna lose more often than you win.

1954
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 4: Hashtag just saying okay, So from Dagnall, uh oh, you

1955
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 4: mentioned chet Holm Grid He seems pretty happy to Oklahoma

1956
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 4: City say.

1957
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 13: You in the fight no matter what happened, never given,

1958
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 13: And uh you know.

1959
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 3: I just couldn't be happier for the rest of my teammates.

1960
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 11: Man, I'm gonna be happier for the city, happier for Clay,

1961
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:52,600
Speaker 11: for Presty, the rest of the organization.

1962
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm just so happy for all of them.

1963
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 11: And it's gonna be a great night in Oklahoma City.

1964
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting because Sam Presty doesn't talk very much,

1965
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:04,719
Speaker 4: and he mentioned Sam there and he was on the podium.

1966
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 4: You know, Sam doesn't do interviews. You won't find him

1967
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 4: on talk shows or podcasts anywhere. He just doesn't. He

1968
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 4: kind of works in the shadows. So when he talks,

1969
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 4: it's one of those that you kind of you sit

1970
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 4: up in your seat a little bit and you listen.

1971
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 14: The first thing is Oklahoma has a.

1972
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,440
Speaker 3: True team and not just a winner.

1973
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 14: These guys represent all that's good at a young age.

1974
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 14: They prioritize winning, they prioritize sacrifice, and it's just kind

1975
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:42,760
Speaker 14: of unfolded very quickly. But you have to give the

1976
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 14: credit to the guys, and we're super grateful to have

1977
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 14: these guys representing us now.

1978
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 2: So he doesn't talk very much. It's a young team.

1979
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:55,200
Speaker 4: I guess now now that the title is a couple

1980
01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 4: hours old, I start to wonder what the pitfalls could be,

1981
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 4: because if this team stays together even in this iteration, right,

1982
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 4: I'm sure they're going to have to decide to.

1983
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 3: Make some moves.

1984
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 4: They're not gonna be able to keep all these draft

1985
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 4: picks that they have, or at least at the very least,

1986
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 4: they've they've got to shed players. I mean, I wonder

1987
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 4: what their pitfalls could be.

1988
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 5: Who was the one person I heard rumored the league

1989
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 5: was Caruso that was teams interested in him. I guess,

1990
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 5: is he a free agent now that the season's done

1991
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 5: or what.

1992
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 4: I don't think truly they have any free agents right now.

1993
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 4: They don't have anyone at least that I understand, on

1994
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:31,760
Speaker 4: expiring deals. So at least maybe I should say that

1995
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 4: is that is based on that one players. But Caruso, No,

1996
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 4: he's under contract.

1997
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 5: I wonder how they had him to two other teams

1998
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 5: that were interested maybe trading for him then, I guess,

1999
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 5: is the only way.

2000
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 3: You can get him?

2001
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,040
Speaker 4: Then I would assume so. But he's he became a

2002
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:53,160
Speaker 4: major part of what they did. And you know, Caruso,

2003
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 4: it's kind of wild because he has bounced around a

2004
01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:59,800
Speaker 4: little bit, right, I mean, if he was with the

2005
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 4: Lakers when they won their title, had to go down

2006
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 4: to the D League for a little bit, then ended

2007
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 4: up getting dealt to the Bulls. What was was he? No,

2008
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 4: he signed with the Bulls is what it was. And

2009
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 4: then he was traded to Oklahoma City in that move

2010
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 4: for Josh Giddy. So I don't know, you know, maybe

2011
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 4: he is going to be a guy that could be

2012
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,639
Speaker 4: considered a trade target, but I think they'd be more

2013
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 4: apt or more apt to give him a deal and

2014
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 4: commit to him.

2015
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 2: Then they might be what lou Dort, I don't know.

2016
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 4: I don't know what that looks like for them, but

2017
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 4: I just I guess I started wondering, Huh, how's this

2018
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 4: thing going to slow down? I mean, they're gonna lose

2019
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 4: a series, they're gonna get beat. Not everyone's gonna go

2020
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 4: out and win five straight titles. But if you just

2021
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 4: look at the core in the foundation you said it,

2022
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 4: Harmony Arnie, it's more of a team, right. And you

2023
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,920
Speaker 4: got a superstar, but you got a team around him, right.

2024
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 5: And if nobody's leaving and everybody's on their contract and

2025
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 5: what are they maybe picking up a small piece here

2026
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 5: or there, but other than that, you just running back.

2027
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,559
Speaker 5: No reason to go ahead, and you don't make any waves.

2028
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 5: You had such a great year this year.

2029
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean lou Dort would be someone that

2030
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,560
Speaker 4: probably is up for an extension.

2031
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:04,000
Speaker 11: Uh.

2032
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 4: Chet Holmgren obviously, Jalen Williams. I mean, I was trying

2033
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 4: to look here real quick. I think I think that

2034
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 4: they've got Caruso under contract for a couple more seasons.

2035
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 4: I could be wrong on that though, but as it

2036
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 4: stands right now, the guys that are free agents after

2037
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:26,080
Speaker 4: this year, according to uh REALGM dot com are Brandon Carlson,

2038
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 4: Alex Ducas, Adam Flagler, Jay Mitchell, and the other Jalen Williams.

2039
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 3: By the way, if you were.

2040
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 5: At the arena doing interviews after the game, right, I'm

2041
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,400
Speaker 5: surprised no other person, no other media person has done this.

2042
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:41,400

Speaker 3: have showed up with the exact same one. See you

2047
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,759

2055
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 4: a couple more cuts that I want to play here

2056
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,880

01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 4: Williams Jada obviously talking about what his teammates.

2059
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,960

01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 14: this whole entire playoffs.

2061
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:23,200

2065
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,120

2066
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 12: playoffs and you get into the finals and winning. So

2067
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 12: just the joy and the camaraderie that we have is

2068
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 12: second to none. Like these guys make it easy to

2069
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:44,920

01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 2: Oh one more here. I thought this was pretty good.

2087
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it means everything.

2088
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 11: That's why you played a sport. You played a sport

01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:36,200
Speaker 11: took this here to be champions, and we deserved this.

2092
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 11: We roasted a moment here.

2093
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 7: We are there.

2094
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 5: I want, I do want to get to one before

2095
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 5: I forget one criticism I did have of ESPN that

2096
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 5: a lot of people had on Twitter, and I saw

2097
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 5: it again. It kind of sparked my memory. They showed

2098
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 5: the Hall of Burton injury way too many times, way

2099
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 5: too many times, Chris, we didn't have to see because

2100
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,439
Speaker 5: to me, it was pretty gruesome. To be honest with

2101
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,120
Speaker 5: you that I just I had to turn away after

2102
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:07,919
Speaker 5: a bunch of times, I'm like, I can't.

2103
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:08,519
Speaker 3: Do this anymore.

2104
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:10,560
Speaker 5: I thought they showed that a lot of people is

2105
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 5: even to agree on Twitter that they did it too

2106
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 5: many times.

2107
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, don't you think that it was more

2108
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 4: about you'd have to know what you were looking for?

2109
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 4: Are you just mean more his reaction?

2110
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:26,040
Speaker 3: No, more about the move and you could see it pop?

2111
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 4: You can see it pop? Okay? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2112
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 4: I think they had I think they probably did it

2113
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 4: because so many people didn't really know what they were

2114
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 4: probably looking at looking for. I just I'm guessing. I

2115
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 4: have no idea. But yeah, that was gesu. That was

2116
01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 4: hard to watch. That was hard to watch. Yeah, don't

2117
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:44,599
Speaker 4: think anything's tainted though, don't think anything is is is

2118
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,640
Speaker 4: anti it? And again I wish Halliburton would have been

2119
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 4: healthy because that would have been something else. Right.

2120
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,320
Speaker 5: Oh, but do you think, I mean, how much of it?

2121
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 5: How different would the game been if he was healthy?

2122
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 5: He had three three pointers night, But he was still

2123
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 5: hobbling though, Chris. I mean you could tell he was

2124
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 5: still dragging a little bit. I don't know what that

2125
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:10,719
Speaker 5: would have shown in his play. What do you finished

2126
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 5: with twenty third?

2127
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 12: Wait?

2128
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, hold on, you thought he was dragging

2129
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:14,759
Speaker 2: out there?

2130
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 3: Yeah? I still think he was limping around a little bit.

2131
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,400
Speaker 2: No, I thought he looked pretty awesome to be honest

2132
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:20,640
Speaker 2: with you.

2133
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 5: Well, when he was shooting, yeah, but he was still

2134
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,840
Speaker 5: he just didn't seem like he was moving like he

2135
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:26,240
Speaker 5: used to.

2136
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,320
Speaker 3: That's all. Okay.

2137
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 4: Maybe I didn't watch the same game that some people

2138
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 4: watch because I thought he was moving around pretty good

2139
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:35,759
Speaker 4: for a guy that had a multi week injury.

2140
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 2: I mean, I go go back to even game six.

2141
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 4: Right, boy, there's some people that are eating some tweets

2142
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 4: or eating some crow that was taking the injury.

2143
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 3: Oh you mean you're talking about Skip Payliss right, yeah, okay,

2144
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:52,839
Speaker 3: but oh there's people on our network too. Oh the Knicks.

2145
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, Nicks. I'm sorry.

2146
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:57,760
Speaker 4: Oh, the Pacers did this to try to overshadow his

2147
01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 4: poor play and give him an excuse.

2148
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 2: So I heard him iron it all over the.

2149
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 4: Network on Friday, not Friday, because it would have been

2150
01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 4: which day was the game? The game was Thursday, Thursday. Thursday, Yeah, Thursday.

2151
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, when he's playing well,

2152
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 4: then it be goes, well, maybe they just did this

2153
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 4: to try to take the pressure off him and the

2154
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,519
Speaker 4: heat off him, because he can't really play like that

2155
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:18,720
Speaker 4: and be really hurt. We might want to go into

2156
01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 4: the podcast archives and to lead a few programs by

2157
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 4: the way, too.

2158
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:24,360
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that of it, but I did see.

2159
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 2: I did see the Skip Bayless tweet that you're talking about.

2160
01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:30,679
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that, and then you know what, minutes later

2161
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 5: or whatever.

2162
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 4: Literally seconds afterwards, he goes down with an injury.

2163
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 3: Unreal.

2164
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 2: There you go. Thunder are the NBA champs.

2165
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 4: They cap off one of the greatest regular seasons ever

2166
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 4: with a championship. They're nineteen and two after losses, and

2167
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,160
Speaker 4: in this game tonight, Arnie. We haven't really kind of

2168
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 4: talked about the game much, but eight thirty two to

2169
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,639
Speaker 4: go in the third, the games tied at fifty six,

2170
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:58,040
Speaker 4: right then Okse goes on a run where they outscore

2171
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 4: Indiana thirty three to twelve, and the only pacer to

2172
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,640
Speaker 4: score during that stretch was TJ McConnell.

2173
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:06,439
Speaker 3: I know that's I think that's when they had the

2174
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:07,799
Speaker 3: back to back three pointers.

2175
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 2: I believe he finally started making threes.

2176
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:11,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, and then I think it was actually maybe

2177
01:36:11,680 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 5: even a third one to put him up by nine,

2178
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 5: and it was all downhill after that.

2179
01:36:15,880 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 3: Face.

2180
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 5: McConnell did everything he could. He was he was a gamer.

2181
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 5: He's so fun to watch, is he not?

2182
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 1: Or what.

2183
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how he gets a shot off. I

2184
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:26,840
Speaker 2: don't know how he does it.

2185
01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 4: It's he'll get in there amongst the trees and he'll

2186
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 4: still be able to get his shot off.

2187
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:32,680
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.

2188
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 4: And by the way, just one clarification, the Thunder did

2189
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 4: sign Caruso to a four year deal, So Arnie, he's

2190
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 4: technically tied up with OKC through twenty twenty nine.

2191
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:42,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's called the NBA rule that if a

2192
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 5: big market's not in the finals, right then they start

2193
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 5: pucking team people from OKC.

2194
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 3: That's right, SGA. So he'll be a right for next year.

2195
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 3: All right.

2196
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,639

Speaker 4: you were in Dallas. He's great. And that's the dude

2219
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 4: from day one. Man, that's the dude from day one.

2220
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:02,879
Speaker 4: For the Thunder he is, He's awesome.

2221
01:38:03,040 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 5: You knows, there's there's something about Oklahoma City.

2222
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:08,639
Speaker 3: They were just such good shooters this year.

2223
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 5: I don't know who to give credit to, you know

2224
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 5: what I mean, I just can't put my finger on it.

2225
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:17,240

01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 4: a little credit here.

2228
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:23,719
Speaker 2: Uh, you didn't have anything to do with their shooting.

2229
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 5: Chip Engman, who went to high school with me, was

2230
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 5: the shooting coach at Oklahoma City this year.

2231
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, Whether it's his first year or second year.

2232
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 2: I think it's his third year that he's been there.

2233
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 3: Pretty much turn you guys around.

2234
01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 4: You know, Okay, what does that have to do with you? Well,

2235
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 4: because I went to high school with.

2236
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:46,439
Speaker 5: Him, I taught Chip how to shoot. He taught you

2237
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:47,600
Speaker 5: guys how to shoot.

2238
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 3: Cool.

2239
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 4: All the way SGA talks make me, makes makes them

2240
01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 4: look so experienced. During that interview right after the game,

2241
01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 4: he was calm, but also very excited and set all

2242
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:03,599
Speaker 4: the right.

2243
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 3: He's a likable guy. He's a very likable guy. Is

2244
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 3: he not or what? He's the best?

2245
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:09,400
Speaker 2: Now?

2246
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:12,800
Speaker 4: I here's I do have a complaint. They're very much

2247
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 4: involved in the community. They're very much involved in Oklahoma City.

2248
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 4: They just don't do interviews like you don't hear them.

2249
01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:21,880
Speaker 4: Like when I'm driving home whenever I'm out in LA,

2250
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 4: I might hear Matt money Smith and Petros talking randomly

2251
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 4: to a Dodger player. It's like, oh, look at that

2252
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 4: Thunder players don't do that, And that's my that's my

2253
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:35,400
Speaker 4: only complaint, right, And maybe that's me being a jaded

2254
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 4: local guy, But they just they don't do much on

2255
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 4: TV or radio, which I guess you don't.

2256
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:40,919
Speaker 2: Have to anymore.

2257
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 3: They just don't want to do it or they don't

2258
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 3: feel cool.

2259
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 4: But the Thunder franchise is kind of put the cave.

2260
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:49,600
Speaker 4: It's Sam Presty man, he's he works in the shadows.

2261
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 4: He's not really out there very much. But that's that's

2262
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 4: my only complaint, Uh, mister nobody. By the way, a

2263
01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 4: tortured fan base is the Atlanta Falcons. Two trips to

2264
01:39:59,880 --> 01:40:02,720
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl that got stomped by Denver. In the

2265
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:06,240
Speaker 4: first one, Eugene Robinson gets arrested, and the second one

2266
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 4: was the infamous twenty eight to three choke.

2267
01:40:08,479 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 3: That is true. That's a good one. I forget about them.

2268
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's second one too.

2269
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 4: Whenever you were gonna try to whenever you're gonna try

2270
01:40:15,560 --> 01:40:17,000
Speaker 4: to leave it like halftime, you're.

2271
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 2: Like, this is over.

2272
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm done, They're done.

2273
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 4: Jason B. Diamond, Solid Show contributor. Right, I can finally

2274
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 4: say this. I felt this way trading SGA and all

2275
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 4: these draft picks for Paul George. It's the worst trade

2276
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:42,799
Speaker 4: made in any sport ever. Okay, it led to an MVP,

2277
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:48,040
Speaker 4: it led to a championship. The Clippers, what's the farthest

2278
01:40:48,040 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 4: they've gone in the playoffs since they traded for Paul George.

2279
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 4: Now he's not even on the team anymore. Obviously, did

2280
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:55,559
Speaker 4: they go to Western Conference Finals?

2281
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, they played the Suns.

2282
01:40:57,720 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 8: They won.

2283
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:04,320
Speaker 4: Okay, let's say they at least they at least went

2284
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 4: to the Western Conference Final.

2285
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:06,599
Speaker 2: Well heck.

2286
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 4: I mean you saw the way the Nicks celebrated whenever

2287
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 4: they went to the Eastern Conference Finals.

2288
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:10,679
Speaker 5: Oouch.

2289
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, is it up there, Arenie, for one of

2290
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:14,639
Speaker 2: the worst trades ever?

2291
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:19,120
Speaker 5: It would it's probably up there. I was if it's

2292
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 5: like top ten. I don't know if it's like the

2293
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:23,680
Speaker 5: worst one. I'm trying to go through my mind this sea.

2294
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:25,920
Speaker 4: I mean the Tony dor Set Tony door Set, son

2295
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:28,640
Speaker 4: of a Bat, the herschel Walker trade, right, that is

2296
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 4: often looked at as the worst trade ever because that

2297
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 4: kind of really spurned the Cowboys to greatness and herschel

2298
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 4: Walker was never the same and what they get like

2299
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 4: a ton of draft picks out of it, and they

2300
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 4: ended up using that pick to get I think what

2301
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:48,320
Speaker 4: Emmon Smith was part of it. I mean, I guess

2302
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 4: we'll see whenever it comes to the Luca trade, right,

2303
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:56,160
Speaker 4: but I think you might be onto something. Jason fitting

2304
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:59,040
Speaker 4: that Ben Maller is coming up next. The only Clipper

2305
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 4: fan that I know to kind of give us his

2306
01:42:00,960 --> 01:42:04,479
Speaker 4: perspective on the Thuds a Clipper, Yeah, I don't know, Manci.

2307
01:42:05,360 --> 01:42:09,240
Speaker 4: Here's one from Ahead News who writes, congrats on okay,

Speaker 4: live on the air curse.

2310
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 2: Well, we weren't quite on the air yet when the

2311
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:17,839
Speaker 2: game was over.

2312
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,439
Speaker 3: Right, because I was able to put my curse in there.

2313
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:23,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ephraim Salaam and Mark Willard, we're busy talking about

2314
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:28,240
Speaker 4: Shador Sanders while the Thunder we're winning a title. Paul writes,

2315
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,640
Speaker 4: you're not allowed to say Doris Burke is bad. You

2316
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:34,400
Speaker 4: have to pretend she is as great as John Madden.

2317
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:39,200
Speaker 4: Our Rick Carlyle will yell at you also. I think also,

2318
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,479
Speaker 4: I think Arnie must have forgotten that James Dolan is

2319
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 4: still making the decisions with the Knicks.

2320
01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that I didn't forget about that. We just put

2321
01:42:45,720 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 5: that on the back burner. But he's right, you can't

2322
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:51,479
Speaker 5: criticize Doris Burke otherwise you get a ton of crap

2323
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:55,680
Speaker 5: rained on you, and everybody shuns you and thinks you're

2324
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 5: an idiot.

2325
01:42:56,280 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 4: So I I don't think they listen to the game,

2326
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 4: because if you do, I think you'd spend a majority

2327
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,040
Speaker 4: of the time with what the heck are they talking about?

2328
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. They really love to complain about

2329
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 2: the officials.

2330
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:09,920
Speaker 4: Look.

2331
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 2: Rick Flair has checked in on the show tonight.

2332
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 3: Oh.

2333
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 4: He writes, Adam Silver installed Oklahoma City as the NBA

2334
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:21,640
Speaker 4: champions and masterminded the Kevin Durant trade even before the

2335
01:43:21,680 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 4: season started, and I'm sure Katie's alleged reaction to the

2336
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 4: trade was rehearsed ahead of time. Let the conspiracy theories begin. Well, okay,

2337
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:35,679
Speaker 4: I mean if Adam Silver was going to install Oklahoma

2338
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 4: City as the NBA champs, then, at least from a

2339
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,519
Speaker 4: TV ratings perspective, it wasn't necessarily the best call. If

2340
01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna install anyone as your champ, it would be

2341
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 4: like the Knicks or the Lakers, or I don't know,

2342
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 4: maybe the Celtics.

2343
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 5: I was bummed out that Bill Foster wasn't going to

2344
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:50,679
Speaker 5: be the referee today.

2345
01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 2: Our Scott Foster.

2346
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 5: Scott, excuse me, Scott Foster wasn't going to be the referee.

2347
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:57,080
Speaker 5: There's always some excitement whenever that guy goes out there,

2348
01:43:57,120 --> 01:43:57,400
Speaker 5: you know.

2349
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:01,360
Speaker 4: Well, and especially because everyone had declared on like Friday night,

2350
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:06,519
Speaker 4: the Scott Foster was gonna be the guy that's right right, Yeah,

2351
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 4: and then one more you see le Dodger Frank who's

2352
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:11,959
Speaker 4: been on fire tonight. Can we stop putting asterisks on everything?

2353
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:16,160
Speaker 4: It loses all its meaning. It sucks that Haliburton got hurt,

2354
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 4: but ok Se is a deserving champ. The only true

2355
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 4: asterisks in our lifetime is the twenty seventeen World Series period.

2356
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:28,440
Speaker 2: See astros.

2357
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no asterisks here. They deserved it that look.

2358
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 5: I feel bad that holler Burton went down. And by

2359
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 5: the way, it's not talked enough. They had a Indiana

2360
01:44:38,200 --> 01:44:41,559
Speaker 5: had a two games to one lead and had game four.

2361
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 5: That's the one Oklahoma City came back.

2362
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 3: Otherwise they go up three to one. This series is over, Chris.

2363
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 5: And Indiana is going to win it, and they got

2364
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:52,640
Speaker 5: to slip through their fingers.

2365
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:56,519

01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:22,400

2375
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:26,719
Speaker 8: up and get Emmitt Smith. Meanwhile, herschel Walker nearly three

Speaker 8: full seasons in Minnesota, did not have a thousand yards

2377

2507
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:58,479

01:51:58,479 --> 01:52:00,639
Speaker 8: I worked to a Genie Bus and would come into

2509
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:03,560

2514
01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:19,160
Speaker 8: that's an insane amount of money. Later that same lifetime anyway,

2515
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 8: it was a lot back then, six hundred million dollars.

2516
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:23,960

2540
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,400
Speaker 4: it fun for everyone. They used to do and they're

2541
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 4: starting to slowly bring it back. They called it thunder Alley,

2542
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 4: and they used to shut down one of the streets

2543
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:43,479
Speaker 4: and they would play the game outside of the arena.

2544
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:45,639
Speaker 4: You know, you see it with hockey, and they're starting

2545
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 4: to do it a little bit more over at Scissor Tape.

2546
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 8: Did that the first year of Staple Center downtown and

2547
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:51,559
Speaker 8: learned to regret it quickly.

2548
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 4: That's right, because we had the same thing here. Somebody

2549
01:53:55,640 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 4: got a little carried away, like I can't have that.

2550
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:00,640
Speaker 5: Chris, when I used to riot. I'm just kidding, I

2551
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:01,080

Speaker 3: I got to the top of your story, all right.

2554
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:06,640
Speaker 4: I did not do a good job of getting to

2555
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:09,320
Speaker 4: the Roman numeral rundown tonight because I under won the title.

2556
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:14,120
Speaker 4: But we'll see how many of Roman numerals eleven through

2557
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:15,120

01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:16,920
Speaker 2: Twenty three? We'll see how many.

2559
01:54:16,840 --> 01:54:19,640
Speaker 4: Of them twenty twenty two, We'll see how many of

2560
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 4: them we can fit in next right here on Fox

2561
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. I'm starting to wonder, Arenie the tax bracket

2562
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:26,960
Speaker 4: that some of my friends are in right now, because

2563
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:31,400
Speaker 4: all I saw was exorbitant ticket prices to this game,

2564
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:33,960
Speaker 4: and all I'm seeing on my timeline right now is

2565
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 4: people that I know that were at the game. I'm like, dude,

2566
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 4: you get free tickets though you don't have no there

2567
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 4: are no free tickets to the Thunder games.

2568
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 2: He kidding me.

2569
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:45,440
Speaker 3: Oh for media, though you could say your media, why

2570
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:45,880
Speaker 3: about that?

2571
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:48,400
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not going to go well the press, but

2572
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 4: your seat with the media is better at home than

2573
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:52,880
Speaker 4: it is at the game.

2574
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:54,880
Speaker 2: It puts you up in that upper level.

2575
01:54:54,960 --> 01:54:58,640
Speaker 4: Plus I can walk right to my my refrigerator and

2576
01:54:58,640 --> 01:55:00,240
Speaker 4: get whatever I want to drink, and then I don't

2577
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 4: have to raise something to do the show with you.

2578
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 2: Do you want to do.

2579
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:03,760
Speaker 4: Your picks here and get him out of the way,

2580
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:05,600
Speaker 4: because I don't think you have too much to pick?

2581
01:55:05,680 --> 01:55:08,160
Speaker 2: Dude, I don't have too much. I just take it away.

2582
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:10,480
Speaker 5: Let me just get to a couple of things on

2583
01:55:10,520 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 5: my picks. We know that the NBA Draft is coming

2584
01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:15,960
Speaker 5: up this week. There's no games to pick because I'm

2585
01:55:15,960 --> 01:55:18,960
Speaker 5: not gonna do baseball. Cooper Flag obviously will be the

2586
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:21,120
Speaker 5: number one pick, will go to Dallas. But I think

2587
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:24,840
Speaker 5: Yannis some people say he's gonna stay of Milwaukee. I

2588
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:29,040
Speaker 5: think he's gonna be traded to the Boston Celtics. If

2589
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 5: he doesn't get traded to the Celtics and the Celtics

2590
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:32,560
Speaker 5: are going to make a big move.

2591
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:34,600
Speaker 3: I really think something's.

2592
01:55:34,280 --> 01:55:37,320
Speaker 5: Gonna happen with Jalen Brown and they're going to ship

2593
01:55:37,400 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 5: him out. So big, big day that's Wednesday. Round one,

2594
01:55:42,080 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 5: Round two is gonna be on Thursday. So that's all

2595
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:45,840
Speaker 5: I have for you. Man.

2596
01:55:45,880 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 3: That's it there in my picks. What are you gonna

2597
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:53,720
Speaker 3: do any baseball? Baseball? Get out of here?

2598
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:58,000
Speaker 4: Are you anti baseball? You'll be the first one that'll

2599
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:01,400
Speaker 4: start talking about baseball whenever it gets closer to the playoffs.

2600
01:56:01,400 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 2: Why not jump on board now.

2601
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,680
Speaker 5: Because we're like game seventy five or something like that.

2602
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 5: Let's start picking. If you're betting baseball, now, you've got

2603
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 5: a problem, buddy.

2604
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:15,560
Speaker 4: You called you try to call the preseason the free season, Well,

2605
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:19,120
Speaker 4: the preseason the freezes. I had one bad year, but Arnie,

2606
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 4: every year in the preseason, you're terrible. Two years ago,

2607
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 4: you two years ago you stopped picking games in the

2608
01:56:27,360 --> 01:56:29,960
Speaker 4: preseason because it was so bad and said, you're just

2609
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:31,720
Speaker 4: gearing up for the regular season.

2610
01:56:31,960 --> 01:56:32,880
Speaker 3: That was last year.

2611
01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 4: It was both that's the problem.

2612
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 2: All right, Well, then let's hit some of these Roman numerals.

2613
01:56:39,520 --> 01:56:41,400
Speaker 3: You have a lot on the board. There a lot of.

2614
01:56:41,480 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 4: Well, because Oklahoma City won a title tonight, you don't

2615
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,720
Speaker 4: know what that feels like. Roman numeral eleven. You try

2616
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:50,720
Speaker 4: to throw this out every year, and it's fine, but

2617
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 4: it's an evergreen topic. The division winners are already everyone's

2618
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:57,840
Speaker 4: already won their division in the NFL. Six Madden team

2619
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:01,840
Speaker 4: ratings out in the NFL for twenty for Roman numeral twelve.

2620
01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:03,760
Speaker 3: Did you see that? Did you see the baden team?

2621
01:57:04,040 --> 01:57:08,680
Speaker 4: I did, Ian Roddy whenever, whenever Bree bailed on me

2622
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 4: Friday night, Ian Roddy pointed it out to me. I

2623
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:15,120
Speaker 4: never got to it. But it's fascinating how some teams

2624
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 4: are as low as they are.

2625
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:18,440
Speaker 3: I think they had Miami like the third best team

2626
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:19,200
Speaker 3: or something like that.

2627
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:21,600
Speaker 2: Well then it's over. You're gonna win a title.

2628
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,640
Speaker 3: No, but I was just surprised about that, to be

2629
01:57:23,680 --> 01:57:24,200
Speaker 3: honest with you.

2630
01:57:24,440 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 4: So they have you as the fourth best team. Wow,

2631
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 4: after the Chiefs, Niners, Ravens, and then there's it All

2632
01:57:32,680 --> 01:57:37,520
Speaker 4: and then the Cowboys, Lions, Bengals, Browns, and then there's

2633
01:57:37,560 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 4: the Eagles at an eighty seven.

2634
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,520
Speaker 3: So they have the Cowboys higher than the Eagles.

2635
01:57:42,360 --> 01:57:44,760
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if this is legit or not.

2636
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 3: That can't be.

2637
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 4: There's just no way. There's just no way. But it's

2638
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:51,440
Speaker 4: out there and it was making the rounds. But that's

2639
01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:55,600
Speaker 4: I saw this from my producer Ian Roddy on Friday

2640
01:57:55,680 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 4: night the filled in for Brie and he was as

2641
01:57:58,000 --> 01:57:58,800
Speaker 4: shocked as I was.

2642
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:00,520
Speaker 2: So that was Roman number twelve tonight.

2643
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:05,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe Burrow's dad made a big bet Roman numeral thirteen.

2644
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:07,280
Speaker 5: Seen that story. He bet two thousand dollars on his

2645
01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:11,480
Speaker 5: son to win the Heisman. Obviously he won and he

2646
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:13,480
Speaker 5: won four hundred thousand dollars on that one.

2647
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:19,760
Speaker 4: Money Well spit money, well spit fake Roman numeral fourteen.

2648
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 4: I just going through that story. Yeah, well, I mean,

2649
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 4: what more do you want me to do with it?

2650
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:26,800
Speaker 4: I wish I would have been that smart.

2651
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,160
Speaker 3: Tom Brady passing on Sam Donald.

2652
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 4: Uh oh oh, I thought you meant the you thought

2653
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:33,360
Speaker 4: there would be more on the four hundred thousand dollars winner.

2654
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:34,800
Speaker 3: No I met on Tom Brady.

2655
01:58:35,160 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 4: Well, because we'll find out whether or not Sam Donald

2656
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:41,440
Speaker 4: was worth it. I'm not really high on Sam Donald.

2657
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:44,040
Speaker 4: I still maybe I'm holding it against him what I

2658
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:47,000
Speaker 4: saw with the Jets, and maybe I'm holding against it

2659
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:50,080
Speaker 4: what I saw the Panthers when Carolina couldn't wait to

2660
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:52,879
Speaker 4: get Baker Mayfield to town so they could bench Sam Donald.

2661
01:58:53,400 --> 01:58:56,879
Speaker 4: I mean, he was good last year, and Ryan Connell

2662
01:58:57,040 --> 01:58:57,840
Speaker 4: kind of figured it out.

2663
01:58:57,880 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 5: But I wonder what I'd love the be a flat

2664
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:02,200
Speaker 5: on the wall to here. Why they didn't want to

2665
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:02,560
Speaker 5: take him?

2666
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:04,680
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think they.

2667
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:06,720
Speaker 4: I think a lot of teams wouldn't want to have

2668
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 4: that kind of investment in a quarterback that has had

2669
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 4: all of one good season.

2670
01:59:11,240 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 2: But then they go on.

2671
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 4: To get Gino Smith, who look at his track record

2672
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 4: Roman Numeral fifteen. Tonight was Drew Brees, who apparently his

2673
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 4: right arm doesn't work.

2674
01:59:21,920 --> 01:59:23,960
Speaker 3: God shocked me. I didn't know it was that bad.

2675
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:26,120
Speaker 4: Well, he had all the shoulder problems throughout his square.

2676
01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:29,800
Speaker 4: I mean, what's the great story that Nick Saban wanted

2677
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:32,480
Speaker 4: to go get Drew Brees whenever he was at Miami

2678
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:35,560
Speaker 4: and the Miami trainers failed him in the physical and

2679
01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:36,760
Speaker 4: would allow him to go get him.

2680
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:38,280
Speaker 3: Oh, I remember that, right, right, right, right right.

2681
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:40,080
Speaker 4: Let's see, just to try to stay on point here.

2682
01:59:40,120 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 4: Is there any other NBA, NFL on there? All right? No? Baseball?

2683
01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:50,160
Speaker 4: Roman Numeral sixteen Dodgers Padres Dave Roberts versus Mike Schill.

2684
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:55,080
Speaker 3: That was awesome, man, I love that rivory. That's the

2685
01:59:55,120 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 3: new rivaly.

2686
01:59:55,680 --> 02:00:02,080
Speaker 5: That's better than Yankees, Boston, Lakers, Celtics, Cowboys, Philadelphia. It's

2687
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 5: it's Padres Dodgers. If you're just gonna tune in any

2688
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,560
Speaker 5: game to see a rivalry, that's the one you're gonna

02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:09,000

2695
02:00:20,640 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 5: got the pictures and everything. I'm like, could you imagine

2696
02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:26,160
Speaker 5: what other teams they should have theme bars, like Bad

2697
02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:27,880
Speaker 5: News Bears or something like that.

2698
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:31,280
