And that is whether it is Lamar 130 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 8: Jackson or Baltimore's sons. Mike Preston, who wrote a column 131 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 8: titled Ravens Lamar Jackson are at a Crossroads. In this column, 132 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 8: Preston claims that the star quarterbacks off field habits, specifically 133 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 8: alluding to him playing video games late at night and 134 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 8: falling asleep in team meetings is rubbing the team the 135 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 8: wrong way. But he also accuses the Ravens of accommodating 136 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 8: the twenty eight year old's behavior, including holding practices later 137 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 8: in the afternoon opposed to the morning, which most teams do. 138 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 5: All Right, I'm gonna say this, Martin Lamar is not 139 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 5: without blame. Okay, it's been a bad year, we get it. 140 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 5: This isn't what we're used to. This guy, right, a 141 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 5: ton of injury, But this guy is usually in the 142 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 5: mix for MVP. He's that kind of play. Last year, 143 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 5: I think he got robbed. He didn't win the MVP. 144 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 5: He was the first team All Pro quarterback, but he 145 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 5: didn't the first team you know, all NFL. 146 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: But he didn't get the MVP, which just normally doesn't happen. 147 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 5: But in this case, and I'm not saying that Lamar 148 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 5: is without blame, because there's plenty of blame to go 149 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 5: around for this ridiculous Baltimore Ravens team. 150 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: First of all, they have six Pro Bowlers. 151 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 5: Right, but like that ties the amount for all the teams, 152 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 5: Like three or four teams have six guys, Like that's 153 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 5: the best you can do. 154 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 4: So they actually have talent. We've seen this team. 155 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 5: Lamar started the first three or four games, like as 156 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 5: well as you can play at the quarterback position. They 157 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 5: went up to Buffalo, scored forty points and lost. Derek 158 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 5: Henry's fumbling Zay Flowers who made the Pro Bowl, who 159 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 5: had three two. 160 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: Touchdowns and three fumbles. He made the Pro Ball. 161 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 5: I mean like, like seriously, and he's always fumbling. 162 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 10: The Pro Bowl is voting needs to be addressed. 163 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: I'll just say it's ridiculous. But I just want to 164 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 4: want to get this right. 165 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: I'm sorry the column I appreciate a local columnist going 166 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 5: after the big dog and writing those kinds of columns. 167 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 5: That's what I did when I was a columnist in 168 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 5: Detroit and New York and whatnot. So I get that, 169 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 5: and I appreciate that because most local guys are homers 170 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 5: and they don't want to, you know, ruffle of feathers 171 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 5: of the big guys that they need to talk to. 172 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 4: But in this case, if. 173 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 5: You're not writing about John Harbaugh and what has happened 174 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 5: to the Ravens blowing leads, go Look, they've lost twelve 175 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 5: double digit leads in the last few years under John Harbaugh. 176 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 5: I know he won a Super Bowl. It's a long 177 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 5: time ago. They got way too much talents. We just 178 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 5: talked about it. Six Pro bowlers, they got an MVP 179 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 5: type quarterback, they got. 180 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: Everything you need. 181 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 5: Go back and look at most predictions about who's coming 182 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 5: out of the AFC, and I say eighty percent had 183 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 5: the Ravens because they. 184 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 4: Looked at the roster, looked at the team. 185 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 10: They were said, I got betting favorite at the start 186 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 10: of the season. There you go, like before before Thursday 187 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 10: night kickoff, they were the favorite in the AFC to 188 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 10: win the Super Bowl. 189 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 5: And here we are, and now we're gonna pile on 190 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 5: Lamar John Harbaugh. 191 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 4: She gets the blame. 192 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 5: And here the last thing, how many games and situations 193 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 5: And I'm not making an excuse. I talked about the 194 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 5: Derek Henry fumbles. How many balls are dropped touchdowns? Like unbelievable? 195 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 5: Did you see. 196 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 4: Who else was? 197 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 5: Jay Flowers had one In the last game. Mark Andrews 198 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: had another fumble. You remember two years ago last year 199 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 5: against Buffalo the two point conversion of tier game. Remember 200 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 5: that drop. I could go on and on and on 201 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 5: about these games. In the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs, 202 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 5: Jay Flowers fumbles at the one yard line going into 203 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 5: the into the Enzo change. 204 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: The whole game. 205 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 5: They lost that game by five, right, So there's been 206 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 5: a lot of stuff going on. But if I'm going 207 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 5: to point a finger at anybody, Martin. 208 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 4: It's gonna be John Harbar. He should be fired after 209 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: the season. 210 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 10: I'm also pointing the finger at John Harbar. And to 211 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 10: your point, you and I have you. Obviously, Peg did 212 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 10: a lot more ink spilling than I did. But we 213 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 10: both went to Jay School and have a concept of 214 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 10: how local versus national media works. 215 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: And that's a big difference. This article is. 216 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 10: Getting written because somebody is somebody is comfortable enough to 217 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 10: say something is going to be There is a grand 218 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 10: canyon crack here that will not be filled right no 219 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 10: matter how you don't go scorched earth in this way 220 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 10: unless you know that you're saying, you gotta have a 221 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 10: good plug in. 222 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 4: And to me, I'm not about to try to guess 223 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 4: the source. 224 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 10: But one of the things that's interesting about Lamar Jackson, 225 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 10: if you follow his career, he doesn't have an agent 226 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 10: at this point. 227 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: I don't think I'm telling secrets. 228 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 10: When you find out that your national guys that are 229 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 10: doing the reporting, you're Adam Scepters or Ian rap Reports, 230 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 10: you name them. Those are just two of the more 231 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 10: prominent they're reporting with agents are telling. 232 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: Them they're in bed with agents. 233 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 10: And that doesn't mean what the agent is telling them 234 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 10: is false, right, But they're report are telling them they 235 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 10: are not in the locker room every day. 236 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: They're not in the locker room. 237 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 5: It's not the way of breaking stories in the old days, 238 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 5: where you had to really be around and you had 239 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 5: to dig and talk to people. 240 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 4: A lot of stuff has fed to them. 241 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 10: Mike Preston has been covering the Baltimore Ravens is nineteen 242 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 10: eighty three. 243 00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 4: I was born in nineteen eighty. 244 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 10: Nine, right, So he's had this job long than I've 245 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 10: had my life, right, So you know, I'm telling me, 246 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 10: he knows everyone in the building, right, especially when you 247 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 10: consider that John Harbo has been there for almost twenty 248 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 10: years himself, So that's almost twenty years of a working 249 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 10: relationship between that him does two. Specifically, writing this to 250 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 10: me is the writing on them, because you you nailed 251 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 10: it on the head. The Lamar's injuries have masked the 252 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 10: fact that the Ravens have underachieved year after year, year 253 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 10: after year after year. 254 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 4: You say the first year thing, that always disappointing. But 255 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: here's the thing. 256 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 10: When they when Lamar got hurt this year, right, and 257 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 10: he got hurt early in the season, they had already 258 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 10: dropped to your point, that Buffalo game where they scored 259 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 10: forty points in regulation on the road, already dropped that 260 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 10: with a healthy Lamar Jackson. Lamar gets hurt, the team 261 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 10: falls off a cliff, the team craters. The only person 262 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 10: who's responsible for that is the head coach. And then 263 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 10: later on down the line, as he's coming back, said, 264 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 10: do you know what, John Harbor, what's gonna change. 265 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 4: After the buye? Well, after the buy we're gonna get 266 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 4: our quarterback back. Well, guess what quarterback didn't come back? 267 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 10: He there's a level of disconnect between the two of 268 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 10: them even so much, the most recent example being this week. 269 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 10: Lamar Jackson, in his postgame press conference said, I had 270 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 10: a tour doll shot on my back and was unable 271 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 10: to finish the game because I was hurt. Right, You're 272 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 10: not getting a painkiller for fun, right, You getting a painkiller? 273 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 10: Try to get out there and play. John Harbaugh said, well, 274 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 10: you know, we were really sure what was happening with 275 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 10: the quarterback. 276 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 4: Like, even if you weren't sure, you cover for the guy. 277 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 10: If that's your guy, right, even if you're not sure, 278 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 10: I'm telling you it is. Andy Reid is not about 279 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 10: to go out and say, well, I don't know what 280 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 10: Patrick was doing. He's gonna say we all have to 281 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 10: get better, we all have to work on it. Sean 282 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 10: McDermott is not gonna go and say that. You know, 283 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 10: you know what Josh Allen really needs to do. He 284 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 10: really needs to exhibit more leadership. Right, No, we're all 285 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 10: in this together. This is a guy This is a 286 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 10: savior desk type of move out of the Balton Ravens organization. 287 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 10: Feels like it there's a split coming. And guess what, 288 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 10: Lamar has got a longer contract than you do power right. 289 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 5: And I'm sorry it's hard to you're moving Lamar and 290 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 5: staying with John Harbor. 291 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: That's your choice. 292 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 5: I don't know how that could be the choice when 293 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 5: you've underachieved every year the Ravens lose and you feel like, right, 294 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 5: a wasted opportunity. 295 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 4: They got six Pro Bowlers and they're under five hundred. 296 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 5: Right, that tells you all you need to know. That 297 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 5: tells you how much talent this team has. And Derrick 298 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 5: Henry has turned into a fumble machine, my goodness, gracious. 299 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 4: But even still, no, I'm with all of that. 300 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 10: I'll give that first game. 301 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 4: I'm it was never a fumble guy. Guys get older, 302 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: especially a running back. 303 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 10: You know, it's kind of I don't want to say 304 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 10: he's falling off a cliff, because you see he still 305 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 10: has got it, but he's lost a step in his game. 306 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: But even with all of that, you have an MVP 307 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 4: level quarterback. 308 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 10: You're not accepting that type of reasoning in Buffalo or 309 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 10: in Kansas City? Right, when could you have that type 310 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 10: of quarterback and that type of roster and infrastructure. 311 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 4: I think that's the difference in Baltimore. 312 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 5: All right, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, We 313 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 5: are love here on Christmas Eve. We love that, Thank you, Bill. 314 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 5: Who's the blame? 315 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 4: What is it, Mike. 316 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 5: Preston, I'm sorry, Mike Preston. Right down in Baltimore, he's 317 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 5: saying Lamar he's sleeping at meetings. They don't want to 318 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 5: have practice earl. Like all this stuff's been going on 319 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 5: when Lamar was winning the MVPs. But now you know 320 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 5: it's a problem because they're and they're not even eliminated 321 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 5: from the playoffs, which is another thing that's weird. 322 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 10: You know, just quickly to this is why I find 323 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 10: Remember when Lamar came back and the report was they 324 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 10: took all the video games out of the locker room. 325 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 4: Because Lamar said it.

I was around for Colts and 389 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 13: unfortunately I went to a dry spell. So we got 390 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 13: a team back, and of course became Raven saying I 391 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 13: live about maybe between York and Baltimore, so we're pretty 392 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 13: close to Baltimore. Here's in a nutshell. 393 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 14: Again. 394 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 13: I'm not a genius, but you know, when stuff leaks 395 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 13: like this and you see money, I always say, follow 396 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 13: the money. I think he's twenty four percent of the 397 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 13: cap next year, Lamar is, and then he got a 398 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 13: bunch of guys belong. So is it just this whole 399 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 13: game of like, well, we're going to start now to 400 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 13: see what happens. And you know with Lamar that's for 401 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 13: John Harbal. 402 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 9: I think he's. 403 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 13: Probably a great guy, but as a coach myself, I 404 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 13: think he's stale. 405 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 4: Too too long, too long in a place. 406 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, too long. 407 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 13: I mean it's not the same NFL. I mean you 408 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 13: look around these these young guys are coming in and 409 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 13: they're like crazy, Nothy, don't all workout. But I think, 410 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 13: like again, you know, I'm stale is. 411 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 15: The right life. 412 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: Stale is the right word. Joe, I appreciate the game. 413 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's been. 414 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 4: It's been there for a long time. 415 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 5: And Martin at some point, thanks Joe, you know, you 416 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 5: got to win again. 417 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 4: And he has talent. 418 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 5: And every year people pick the Ravens and every year's disappointment. 419 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 10: And I would say the difference because there's another tenure two. 420 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 10: Pretend you're coach Mike Tomlin. The difference is Mike Tomlin 421 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 10: in that same has not had an MVP. 422 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 4: Level quarterback if he won two Super Bowl exactly, that's 423 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 4: the difference. We don't have one of those guys. You 424 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 4: have to win. 425 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 5: Paul in Boston, you're on the odd couple of Fox 426 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 5: Sports Radio. 427 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 4: What's up, Paul.

So if 497 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 14: he's doing all these things, he's being the keys of 498 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 14: doing I don't think he can keep him alant, keep 499 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 14: him around and have him a leader for the football team. 500 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 14: It's hard. 501 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 5: I'm gonna say this is Paul though, and I hear you, 502 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 5: but it's hard to find a quarterback. 503 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 6: Man. 504 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 5: There's twenty teams in the NFL who need a quarterback, 505 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 5: and now that's what you have. You just got to 506 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 5: get the right situation. And thanks for the call. We 507 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 5: appreciate it. We'll up against it, you know so, Martin, 508 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 5: I don't think you can just get rid of a 509 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 5: quarterback because everybody needs a quarterback. 510 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 4: Lamar would be snapped up in two seconds. 511 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 10: I think the point that Paul was making was, you know, 512 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 10: if your quarterback is a mal content, it may be 513 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 10: nothing that can save the mal content. 514 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 4: That's not where Lamar Jackson is right. 515 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 10: When Lamar Jackson is not that even all, every single 516 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 10: word in my press calling can be true. 517 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson's don't not a bad guy, not at all. 518 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 4: That that's not the issue. 519 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 5: I agree with you, and again I pointed out some 520 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 5: of those plays that could have changed a lot of things. 521 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: Those are facts. Those are not I'm not trying to 522 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 5: fudge it or say it's not his fault. Drop I 523 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 5: mean drop balls in big situations, fumbles and big Mark 524 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 5: Andrews is one of the best players of Ravens have 525 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 5: ever had. 526 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 10: And to the point, I mean seriously, to the point 527 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 10: of to go back to what Paul was saying about, basically, 528 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 10: if he's a bad guy, Lamar is always taken the 529 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 10: blame for these things, even when it was like, you know, 530 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 10: there's no way to throw a better ball to Andrews 531 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 10: in the corner of the end zone. 532 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 5: You throw that boy one hundred times, ninety nine times, 533 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 5: that ball is going to be caught. I just when 534 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 5: I saw it, I couldn't believe it, Like it was 535 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 5: one of those moments. So we're gonna talk with Antonio 536 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 5: Daniels coming up, and then tomorrow Markin we got a 537 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 5: whole sleigh. 538 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 4: We're gonna talk about the NFL on Christmas. 539 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 5: I think it's kind of a bummer where the games 540 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 5: are and what probably when it's when they did the schedule, 541 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 5: was gonna be awesome, you know what I mean, like 542 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 5: for where those games fit in. 543 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 4: But I think we got to swing and miss on that. 544 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 11: Uh. 545 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 5: And then of course obviously does a lot of NBA stuff. 546 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 5: So will you be flipping between both? I mean there's 547 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 5: obviously a ton of games on the NBA wise and 548 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: three NFL games. 549 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be flipping between both. 550 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 10: I will likely be paying a lot of attention to that, 551 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 10: uh that Packers that Packers game. Won't think Christmas Night 552 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 10: because you got to make sure, like the NFC all that. 553 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 10: But it is Clayton Tune, so that's gonna be fun. 554 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 5: Well, a Packer. I mean, the Packers just got to win. 555 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just uh like right, I mean. 556 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 10: I mean, but if they don't, but if they have 557 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 10: to win, but they're also going to be starting, at 558 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 10: best a backup quarterback, right Lake Willis look pretty. 559 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 4: Good to me, would you know? I think he's fine. 560 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying now he looked pretty good to 561 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 5: me in that game against the pairs. All right, now, 562 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 5: let's welcome in our Antonio Daniels. You know that NBA champ, 563 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 5: Sirius XM, NBA Radio, Pelicans TV analysts, and of course 564 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,479 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio NBA analysts.

Yes, it was great seeing you recently 570 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 5: in Brooklyn. And I'm gonna get to New Orleans as well, 571 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 5: uh pretty soon. And thank god guys started winning some 572 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 5: games down there too, because it was pretty ugly for 573 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 5: a minute there, but a lot of stuff to talk 574 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 5: about NBA wise, and all of a sudden, you know, 575 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 5: we looked at OKAC. 576 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 4: They weren't losing any game, not a losing, you know. 577 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 5: And now we're seeing the San Antonio Spurs are not 578 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 5: that there's only three losses separate them, but it didn't 579 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 5: feel like that two weeks ago. Tell me about the 580 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 5: spur of the Spur in Wemby and and and everything. 581 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 9: Well, I mean, the thing is, obviously they're they're going 582 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 9: to uh, the way they're constructed, they are constructed to 583 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 9: contend in the West. But let's not get it twisted. 584 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 9: There's a drastic difference between beating Oklahoma City in December 585 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 9: than beating them four times in April, and may. 586 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 5: No doubt that's what's separate. That's the thing about the NBA. 587 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 5: And I say it all the time. Yes, game is 588 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 5: the hard part, right, Yeah, I'm. 589 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 9: In San Antonio. San Antonio is home for me. So 590 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 9: you wouldn't believe how many messages I got uh when 591 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 9: they beat in the Cup and they beat Oklahoma City 592 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 9: again last night, and like, I get it that San 593 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 9: Antonio is a really, really good basketball team. I will 594 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 9: take nothing from them, nothing with from them whatsoever. But 595 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 9: beating Oklahoma City four times in the second week of 596 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 9: April on it's a lot more difficult than defeating them 597 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 9: in San Antonio in December and then the neutral site 598 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 9: in December. Drastic difference. But I'm not gonna take anything 599 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 9: right from Wimby. Wimby gives them something special, just like 600 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 9: Nicola Jokic gives them something special. And there are two 601 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 9: teams in the Western Conference that I think have a 602 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 9: chance to really continue with Oklahoma City. It is Timber 603 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 9: and it is San Antonio because of Victor women down 604 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 9: and because of Nicola Jokics. 605 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 4: Hold on, you said something about Wemby. 606 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 5: Everyone knows twim. 607 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 9: I'm sorry, everyone knows. 608 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 5: That's my hit song about Wenby. We all know it's 609 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 5: about Wemby. 610 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 4: That's it. I just had to be all right. 611 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 10: Now, let's bring some respectabilities back to the situation because. 612 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 4: Rob talked about it. 613 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 9: Thank you for thank you for getting the train back 614 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 9: on the truck. 615 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 10: All right here, but I'm here for you, ed Todeo 616 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 10: because it's Christmas Eve.

Tell me 622 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 10: why out of the Eastern Conference it shouldn't be them. 623 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 9: I don't think there is a reason why it shouldn't 624 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 9: be this. For me, it's a two team, right. 625 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 5: So they're gonna go from They're gonna go from not 626 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 5: winning a playoffs series in ten years or twelve years 627 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 5: to go into the NBA Finals with Pistons. 628 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 4: No, no, but no, no, I'm asking you. 629 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 10: I asked them why they shouldn't Why should they not 630 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 10: be looking like they're a team that should be like 631 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 10: inside the building feel good about themselves. 632 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 4: I'm not. 633 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 5: I just want to make sure you talk about feeling 634 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 5: good or going to the championship? 635 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 4: Is that what you're talking about? 636 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 9: The thing when we look at the Eastern Conference?

I hate that art why I 663 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 9: literally I literally hate that argument because you can say, 664 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 9: like we expect when the team goes on a ten 665 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 9: game winning streak that all ten games are supposed to 666 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 9: think get teams that are. No, here's the thing, Rob. 667 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 9: In the eighty two game season, all you can do 668 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 9: is play who's on the schedule. That's all you can do. 669 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 9: The Detroit Princess can't say, well, look, if we ran 670 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 9: thirteen games in a row, they have to be a 671 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 9: gift respected teams that are continued for it to mean something. No, 672 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 9: it does it? Why haven't other teams done it? 673 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: No? 674 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 5: What I'm just saying, I mean, there were so many 675 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 5: cupcakes in that schedule. 676 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 4: I how to too just watch? I mean, I get 677 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 4: to that point. 678 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 9: The hardest things, you know, one of the hardest things 679 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 9: to do in this league, Rob, beat the teams are 680 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 9: supposed to beat. 681 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 4: That is one of the most. 682 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 9: Difficult things to do in this league. It's easy to 683 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 9: get up for the Steph Curries and the Lebron James 684 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 9: Is and the Kevin Durant and those guys, the Anthony Edwards. 685 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 9: Those are the easy games to get up for. 686 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna ask you. 687 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 9: Do you expect them? 688 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 5: You expect them to be in the Eastern Conference Finals? 689 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 5: Is what I'm asking you. 690 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 13: Yes. 691 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 4: No, what I'm saying, No, I'm asking you. I'm asking 692 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 4: you for what you see it. 693 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 9: Wasn't surprising me if they were not one bit. Okay, 694 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 9: now it one surprised me one bit. At the Destroit Pittons, I'm. 695 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 5: The siting here today in Christmas Eve and say they 696 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 5: will not nt be in the Eastern Conference finals. 697 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 9: And that's okay too though, Robs like I understand that 698 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 9: side too. Now when you look at the Eastern Conference 699 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 9: and look where Milwaukee is, Look who's Boston lost. Look 700 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 9: what happened in Indiana or Teresa Halliburton and them talking 701 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 9: about moving Ben Mathers. So you start going through and 702 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 9: look at some of the teams in the Etern Conference, 703 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 9: it becomes a process of eliminations. Once you start to 704 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 9: eliminate teams, the teams that have the chemistry, the teams 705 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 9: that have the coasing, and the team that have the physicality, 706 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 9: or the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pittons. And 707 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 9: you can call the Cleveland Cavaliers a prisoner of the moment, Rob, 708 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 9: but when you're talking about thirty games in that is 709 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 9: no longer a prisoner of the movie. 710 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 4: Almost halfway through the year. 711 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, but the regular season doesn't count in the NBA, 712 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 5: and we know that you just brought it up. 713 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 4: It's about it's about four out of seven. 714 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 5: It's not about winning meaningless games through a long. 715 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 4: Stretch of a season. 716 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 5: And I'm not I'm not knocking them for winning it, 717 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 5: but I'm not gonna crown a team that hasn't won 718 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 5: a playoff series. And you talk about, oh, yeah, could 719 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 5: have forced the game seven. They didn't win one game 720 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 5: at home during that playoff That that was. 721 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 4: The issue I had. 722 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 9: What else do we have to go? 723 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying it just it just feels really premature, 724 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 5: and I if I'm wrong, I'll say I'm wrong. But 725 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 5: I don't see that that'll see that leap in one season. 726 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 5: One last thing, though, I got to ask you, uh, 727 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 5: you've been how many years did you play in the NBA? 728 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 4: Fourteen or more? Thirteen thirteen? 729 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 5: The Josh Hart Jalen Brunson thumb. I've never seen guys play. 730 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 4: Around in the locker room. What what was that? Come? 731 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 4: Come on? 732 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 9: That's that's two dudes that have been together forever, but. 733 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 5: Really on that stage with cameras and everybody. 734 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 9: Looking, that's that's that's like you see that they have 735 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 9: a different friendship. And I mean that in a good way, right, 736 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 9: Like these dudes have been their chemistry. There's a reason 737 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 9: why everyone picks the New York Knicks to come out 738 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 9: of the Eastern Conference, and one of the reasons is 739 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 9: because of their chemistry. 740 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,239 Speaker 4: You know, but have you ever seen that? 741 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 5: I mean, like seriously, I never I've been I've been 742 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 5: covering the NBA for for forty years. 743 00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 9: No. But also, I mean I also don't pay it 744 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 9: any mind. I don't think it's it's enough of a 745 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 9: subject to actually give wife and talk about, not with 746 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 9: everything else that's going on in the league. 747 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 5: Well, the only problem is he was interviewed by MSG 748 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 5: at did you see that clip? 749 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 10: I didn't see any of this, Okay, so I just 750 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 10: googled it. You didn't see it? 751 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 4: Oh my god. 752 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 16: So I was not at the Timberwolves, but I was 753 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 16: gonna say seriously, Uh, he was interviewed by MSG Antonio 754 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 16: and asked something and he said he had pick a 755 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 16: player or somebody said Josh Hart. 756 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 5: I know he hasn't been a great friend lately, but 757 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 5: Josh Hart, and the reporter said, okay, thumbs up to that. 758 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 4: That's what he said. I mean, like, like it's still 759 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 4: out There's all I'm saying that one last thing, and 760 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 4: you're doing your part to keep it up. That that's 761 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 4: all right. One last thing. We got one minute anybody 762 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you. 763 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 10: We talked about Cleveland being a team with bona fides 764 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 10: and not playing well at the moment. Minnesota has way 765 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 10: more bona fides than Cleveland does in terms of getting 766 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 10: to the Western Conference finals and Anthony Edwards his tenure. 767 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,479 Speaker 10: They're sitting right now like sixth in the West. Where 768 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 10: do you expect them to kind of go as the 769 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 10: season progresses. 770 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 9: You know, there are a few teams It w wasn't okay, 771 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 9: we're talking about things that wouldn't surprise us. It wouldn't 772 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 9: surprise me one bit if before February Minnesota acquired a 773 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 9: point guard. 774 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, there are. 775 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 9: Some teams in the Western Conference that are missing your 776 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 9: point guard and that will be the difference in their postseasons. 777 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 9: Two right off the jump or Houston in Minnesota, those 778 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 9: are the two. Because there's a lot to ask Anthony 779 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 9: Edwards to initiate the offense and also finish the offense. 780 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 9: It's a lot to ask Kevin Durant to initiate the 781 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 9: offense and set himself up. Both of those teams are 782 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 9: Western Conference contenders, but they both are in dire need 783 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 9: of an NBA league guard or an NBA point guard. 784 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 9: So it wouldn't surprise me to see Houston go after 785 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 9: a point guard or to see Minnesota go after a 786 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 9: point guard. 787 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 4: I need a yes or no answer, and then we're 788 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 4: gonna let you go. 789 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 5: On this Christmas eve, Lebron James should not be on 790 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 5: the All Star team. 791 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 4: Yes or no? 792 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 9: Well, I mean that's a tough yes or no, because 793 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 9: if we had to vote today. 794 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 4: Today, oh today, no, okay, that's it. 795 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 5: Hey, No, okay, Merry Christmas.
