Speaker 3: You know your mom gets really mad at me, Demanse
Speaker 3: when I call you an idiot like real.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well that well, that that makes me sad that
Speaker 4: she gets mad about it because like that, oh gosh,
Speaker 4: that like might imply that I might actually be an idiot,
Speaker 4: And she's like, you.
Speaker 5: Know, don't call him an idiot. No, that's not true,
Speaker 5: but that's funny.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm smart when it comes to the wait,
Speaker 4: what's that look?
Speaker 3: Man? No, I just want to hear where the sentence
Speaker 3: you're I'm just really excited to hear where the sns going.
Speaker 4: I'm smart when necessary. You know, there are some things
Speaker 4: that you know, you live and you learn. There are
Speaker 4: a lot of things that I've done that make me
Speaker 4: look like an idiot that won't be done again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3: Just don't make the same mistake multiple times. That's true,
Speaker 3: given some of your choices and situations. The fact that
Speaker 3: you found yourself in the fact that you're alive speaks
Speaker 3: to a pretty high level of intelligence.
Speaker 5: Welcome in.
Speaker 3: It is episode fifteen of the What's Right with Nick
Speaker 3: Great podcast and YouTube show.
Speaker 5: As I asked you every week.
Speaker 3: Please, if you're listening or watching right now, click the
Speaker 3: subscribe button on your favorite podcast app or on YouTube
Speaker 3: wherever you're watching us. Also a reminder, we are continuing
Speaker 3: our countdown of the fifty greatest players in the last
Speaker 3: fifty years in the NBA. Those special episodes come out
Speaker 3: every Sunday. We are now into the top thirty five
Speaker 3: players of the last fifty years in the NBA. And
Speaker 3: so it's a project I've been working on for years.
Speaker 3: It is so excited, exciting, pardon me, to finally be
Speaker 3: able to release it to you. Also, you might notice
Speaker 3: here in a moment with the setup's a little different today.
Speaker 5: I'm doing this show today.
Speaker 3: From Los Angeles, which means, for the first time ever
Speaker 3: in the short history of the What's Right with Nick
Speaker 3: Great Podcast, my co host sidekick son Demanse is not
Speaker 3: in the same room as me. He is back at
Speaker 3: the house in New York City. He is sitting in
Speaker 3: the big chair today. He is very happy about this.
Speaker 3: Maybe a little too happy about this. We will discuss
Speaker 3: that in just a moment, but we've already shown him
Speaker 3: on camera earlier than we should have. I feel like
Speaker 3: it's all going to his head. So now let's get
Speaker 3: to what we are not discussing on today's show. What
Speaker 3: did not make the cut for today's show is Jake
Speaker 3: Paul fighting in August.
Speaker 5: I don't know if Jake Paul will ever make this show.
Speaker 3: Malink willis sliding in the draft, and the fellow who
Speaker 3: announced the Vikings pick might still be talking. I don't
Speaker 3: blame the guy. There is your moment in the sun.
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, take your fifteen minutes, take the
Speaker 3: full fifteen minutes. However, demons, I now, instead of turning
Speaker 3: my chair towards you, just look right into the camera
Speaker 3: and the screen beneath it and ask you, what are
Speaker 3: we starting with today?
Speaker 4: So Celtics lose Game one to the Bucks. Oh, say
Speaker 4: it again, Say it again, buddy.
Speaker 5: One last game one, yea was just great. Our bet
Speaker 5: isn't looking too great.
Speaker 4: I might have to recall on that one you tweeted
Speaker 4: that the Nets were so overrated that the Celtics looked
Speaker 4: overrated for sweeping them. Yep, I know you've given you
Speaker 4: Honis his love all year, but even you gotta admit, man,
Speaker 4: you did not think he could beat the Celtics alone.
Speaker 5: Well, he didn't have to beat them alone.
Speaker 3: Drew Hollidays better than Kyrie Irving and come to the playoffs,
Speaker 3: and Drew Holiday helped out and they they're a deep team.
Speaker 3: And here's the deal. The Nets have been a Ponzi
Speaker 3: scheme for a couple of years, and as often happens
Speaker 3: with Ponzi schemes, there's a lot of people that are
Speaker 3: innocent victims.
Speaker 5: The innocent victims in this.
Speaker 3: Case was the betting public that bet the Celtics at
Speaker 3: minus two hundred to win the series, like total dopes,
Speaker 3: and my my colleagues in the media that were installing
Speaker 3: the Celtics' favorites because they were treating the Celtics like
Speaker 3: the Celtics have just swept a really good team as
Speaker 3: opposed to sweeping a mediocre team. The Nets have been
Speaker 3: the Hawks for two years now. Maybe the Hawks have
Speaker 3: had more success. No one but me wants to acknowledge it.
Speaker 3: So why am I still talking about the Nets? Because
Speaker 3: the Nets were as much at fault for the Celtics
Speaker 3: losing Game One as Jalen Brown was. And by the way, Demons,
Speaker 3: is a little shout out to you and the Celtics.
Speaker 3: I am wearing your shirt with a little four leaf
Speaker 3: clover on it. But that's as much Celtics helevels you're
Speaker 3: going to get from me today. Because here's the deal.
Speaker 3: I don't need the Celtics made the second fewest two
Speaker 3: point baskets any team has ever made an NBA playoff history.
Speaker 3: They only made ten twos. You might say, also, they
Speaker 3: made a lot of threes, but that's what Milwaukee wants
Speaker 3: you to do. Milwaukee, the last two times they played Boston,
Speaker 3: both games, Boston shot fifty threes. And you might say, well,
Speaker 3: in today's NBA that should work. It could work, but
Speaker 3: Milwaukee is so good at rim protection and so good
Speaker 3: at not fouling that if you're not getting free throws,
Speaker 3: you're not getting layups, you better be on fire from
Speaker 3: And they had eighteen of them and got blown out.
Speaker 3: They had eighteen threes and didn't score ninety points. And
Speaker 3: this is no different than playing a video game and
Speaker 3: playing on rookie mode and then all of a sudden
Speaker 3: going to all matt You're not ready for the degree
Speaker 3: of difficulty jump. So Boston played a team in round
Speaker 3: one that had no room protection. The Bucks have the
Speaker 3: best room protection in basketball. They played a team in
Speaker 3: round one that takes the worst shots imaginable. Milwaukee takes
Speaker 3: nothing but good shots. And in round one they played
Speaker 3: a team that has no offensive game plan. The Bucks
Speaker 3: know exactly what they want to do. So in a
Speaker 3: game where Giannis goes nine for twenty five, Boston still
Speaker 3: gets blown out. And so I'm telling you this much, pal,
Speaker 3: it is a must win Game two for Boston. If
Speaker 3: Boston goes down to two at home, this thing is
Speaker 3: over before it starts. So it is a must win
Speaker 3: Game two. Jalen Brown will be better, Marcus Smart might
Speaker 3: be better. But the word for Boston is Jannis didn't
Speaker 3: have some explosion. But Yiannis is to this point in
Speaker 3: his career where he can have a bad shooting night
Speaker 3: and still be the best player on the court by
Speaker 3: a mile, control every facet of the game. Bonus, take demons,
Speaker 3: and I want your opinion on this before we move
Speaker 3: on the alley oop to himself. Now, you're a guy
Speaker 3: who one of your best traits basketball wise was your athleticism.
Speaker 3: You're leaping ability, and you're tall for regular humans, not
Speaker 3: super tall for basketball players. You're six three six four.
Speaker 3: Giannis is six ' eleven.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Am I crazy for thinking that alley oop to himself
Speaker 3: should be a part of their regular playbook? I don't
Speaker 3: know how who can guard it if he gets midway
Speaker 3: down the paint and throws it that high off the
Speaker 3: backboard to himself. I think that should not just be
Speaker 3: a break glass in case of emergency play. I think
Speaker 3: they should do that twice a game. What's your opinion
Speaker 3: on that as someone that could have I mean.
Speaker 5: It was, it was it looked pretty easy.
Speaker 4: And I mean, and I know I saw the way
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum was looking after that happened.
Speaker 5: It definitely seemed like it kind of took them out
Speaker 5: of the game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I mean if how easily he executed it, yes,
Speaker 4: I mean that should be a.
Speaker 5: Thing that they do more often.
Speaker 3: If Robert Williams isn't in the game, if the tallest
Speaker 3: Celtic defender is Al Horford, who can't jump.
Speaker 5: Then I think you got to do that.
Speaker 3: I think that's actually like a little hack of a
Speaker 3: great way to get two points. All right, what's next?
Speaker 3: What are we doing now? And I'm gonna hit the
Speaker 3: clock today throell or high water. If you're watching, we
Speaker 3: have ten minutes on the clock.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna hit it. Go ahead, what's next? What are
Speaker 5: we doing now?
Speaker 4: The Warriors win Game one against the Grizzlies. Yep, even
Speaker 4: with Draymond getting ejected Jordan Poole went crazy. John Moran
Speaker 4: is gonna have to I mean, but Memphis, you know,
Speaker 4: still stay in the game. John RAN's gonna have to
Speaker 4: play some of his best basketball if they want to
Speaker 4: win this series. Yep, but you know he's still super young.
Speaker 4: But he's the best player on a two seed. What
Speaker 4: are realistic expectations for a job Ran in this series?
Speaker 3: I think he lived up to him in Game one.
Speaker 3: I thought he was excellent in Game one. He missed
Speaker 3: the potential game winning layup, but I mean what it
Speaker 3: was thirty four to nine and ten, I think the No,
Speaker 3: I'm serious, I'm not being sarcastic about this.
Speaker 5: I think that.
Speaker 3: I picked Grizzlies to go to the conference finals before
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I started feeling terrible about that pick midway
Speaker 3: through their series against the timb Bowls. The Timberwolves are
Speaker 3: just such They just play such a dumb brand of
Speaker 3: basketball that it overshadowed the fact Memphis didn't execute great
Speaker 3: at the end of those games. And yesterday, how did
Speaker 3: they execute at the end. They're up three, Klay Thompson
Speaker 3: open three thirty nine seconds left. After the Klay Thompson three,
Speaker 3: they don't push the basketball. They don't get a two
Speaker 3: for one instead jog it stripped. Now, I did like
Speaker 3: the play they ran at the very end of the game,
Speaker 3: but they should have had more time than that than
Speaker 3: three point six seconds. But they took forever to commit
Speaker 3: the fouls because they had to commit two just to
Speaker 3: get in that spot, and they got, if we're being honest,
Speaker 3: very lucky. Clay Thompson miss both free throws. Here's the
Speaker 3: other big concern for Memphis. They they didn't out offensive
Speaker 3: rebound Golden State. That is their one clear cut advantage.
Speaker 3: Well two, pardon me, they have two clear cut advantages.
Speaker 3: One is with Clay being where he is at this
Speaker 3: point in his career, there is no one on Golden
Speaker 3: State that can stay in front of jaw. But the
Speaker 3: other clear cut advantage has to be offensive rebounding. But
Speaker 3: I'm really worried about Memphis. Memphis had to find a
Speaker 3: way to steal that game that they had no business winning.
Speaker 3: But Draymond got ejected, Steph wasn't very good, Clay wasn't
Speaker 3: very good. Josh scored thirty, Jaron Jackson had the game
Speaker 3: of the best game you'll have of all series, and
Speaker 3: they still lost. So I'm Memphis. I'm incredibly concerned that
Speaker 3: this thing could get at this series could get out
Speaker 3: of hand quickly. But I think Joh through Game one
Speaker 3: at least is doing about any everything you could have
Speaker 3: asked him, All right, what's next?
Speaker 4: Fair point tape before Game one in Philly Miami, Joe
Speaker 4: Embiid is gonna miss a few games because of this
Speaker 4: face injury. Yep, this could have all been avoided if
Speaker 4: they just won the series in four to five games.
Speaker 4: But you know they still got hardened and that's exactly
Speaker 4: why he's there. Is it crazy to think that Philly
Speaker 4: could still win this series? And how much blame does
Speaker 4: Doc get for leaving em beat in during a blowout
Speaker 4: and that leading to an injury.
Speaker 3: Yes, let me defend Doc Rivers for a moment here,
Speaker 3: because this is the definition of Monday morning quarterbacking stuff.
Speaker 3: Because we all or a lot of us in the
Speaker 3: media who have TV shows. We're on TV Friday, and
Speaker 3: none of us were criticizing Doc Rivers because we didn't
Speaker 3: know Embiida had got hurt. Nobody was like, by the way,
Speaker 3: why was Joel Embiid in that game? It's only after
Speaker 3: you find out later in the day than in bed Dirt.
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, it was so dumb to have him
Speaker 3: in the game. The Raptors starters were in. I'm fine
Speaker 3: with Embid being in. This is bad luck. But to
Speaker 3: your original question, yeah, I think the media is overs rating.
Speaker 5: Let me restate it.
Speaker 3: I think Philly's got a better chance than the media
Speaker 3: is giving them. I don't know if you saw ESPN
Speaker 3: as twenty NBA writers pick every series. All twenty picked
Speaker 3: Golden State, all twenty picked Phoenix, all twenty picked Miami,
Speaker 3: and the only one that was split was Celtics Bucks,
Speaker 3: and thirteen of the twenty picked the Celtics, by the way,
Speaker 3: But if the first two were in Philly, I feel
Speaker 3: like this would be worse for the Sixers because you
Speaker 3: need to win your home games. But in a one
Speaker 3: four matchup, if you're the road team and you fall
Speaker 3: down oh two, then you go home for the next two.
Speaker 3: So even if they lose these two games without joellenbi
Speaker 3: because I think you'll be back by game three, they're alive.
Speaker 3: But the idea that they have no chance to get
Speaker 3: a split against the Miami team that's pretty banged up themselves,
Speaker 3: I think that's crazy. I think they they do need
Speaker 3: one throw back performance. But when I say throwback, I
Speaker 3: don't mean to four years ago. I mean to four
Speaker 3: weeks ago. Harden his first two games with the Sixers
Speaker 3: was outstanding, and he was very good in Game six,
Speaker 3: by the way, against the Raptors. So I picked the
Speaker 3: Sixers before the playoffs to be in the conference finals.
Speaker 3: All stick with it, assuming in beats back by game three,
Speaker 3: and I think there's a very real chance that they
Speaker 3: steal a game in Miami. Maybe they steal this one tonight,
Speaker 3: but maybe by the time you hear this they've won
Speaker 3: nothing Philly. But even if it's not, I think they're alive.
Speaker 5: All right. I said I was gonna hit the clock down.
Speaker 5: A lot of time left. What's next to Monsea? Oh goy?
Speaker 4: Chris Paul had one of the most amazing playoff games ever.
Speaker 4: Devin Booker is back. The MAVs barely beat Utah. Your
Speaker 4: case is that Lucas experienced in Slvania in the EuroLeague
Speaker 4: counts towards the NBA playoffs. Yeah, since we're taking before
Speaker 4: game one, it's your last chance you can.
Speaker 5: You can take back your pick of the MAVs. But
Speaker 5: this is the last time that all allow it. You know,
Speaker 5: why would I want to take it back?
Speaker 3: Luca is currently the second best basketball player a lot.
Speaker 3: It is Yannis one, Luca two, and a fight for third.
Speaker 3: He is the best player on his side of the bracket.
Speaker 3: He will be the best player in this series. And
Speaker 3: by the time people hear and see this, he probably
Speaker 3: will have already dropped forty in Game one. The MAVs
Speaker 3: are going to the finals and we'll be right back.
Speaker 6: Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here, It's a new year, and
Speaker 6: you know what that means. No, not the diet resolutions,
Speaker 6: a way for us all to try and do a
Speaker 6: little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution,
Speaker 6: unlike Big wireless, is to not be a raging and
Speaker 6: raise the price of wireless on you every chance I get.
Speaker 6: Give it a try at midmobile dot com slash switch.
Speaker 7: Forty five dollars up front payment required equivalent to fifteen
Speaker 7: dollars per month new customers on first three month plan only,
Speaker 7: taxes and fees, extra speeds lower about forty gigabytes on
Speaker 7: unlimited cementtmobile dot com for details.
Speaker 3: Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright podcast and
Speaker 3: YouTube show along with my co host who is.
Speaker 5: Not an idiot? Demonse?
Speaker 3: Demonse, what are we starting with for the second segment
Speaker 3: of today's show.
Speaker 4: Let's start off with some mad quarterbacks. Ye Llamar Jackson
Speaker 4: was pissed when Baltimore traded Hollywood Brown and Green Bay
Speaker 4: passed on the wide receiver in round one. Again, it
Speaker 4: feels like Green Bay and in the Ravens are purposely
Speaker 4: trying to piss their quarterbacks off. Should teams people are
Speaker 4: focused on making their franchise players happy.
Speaker 3: So listen in certain situations, yes, in these two specific situations, no,
Speaker 3: So you know how the Packers made Aaron Rodgers happy.
Speaker 5: They gave him all the money he wanted.
Speaker 3: We learned this whole thing was about money, money, power, respect.
Speaker 3: He wasn't getting the power, so they gave him the
Speaker 3: money to show him the respect. And now they're going
Speaker 3: to run the team how they see fit. A lot
Speaker 3: of people thought they're gonna draft a receiver in round one.
Speaker 3: Rogers told McAfee, Hey, I knew who they were target
Speaker 3: round one. Once those guys weren't available, I wasn't surprised
Speaker 3: they didn't get him. Now, the draft knicks will tell
Speaker 3: you that the Packers reached on that linebacker in round one.
Speaker 3: So maybe that should be a little concerning, and that
Speaker 3: the Packers didn't you know that they actually reached with
Speaker 3: their first two picks because they of course had the
Speaker 3: extra pick thanks to the Demonte Adams trade. Maybe that's concerning,
Speaker 3: But I think Rogers is perfectly content given the fact
Speaker 3: he got paid. The Lamar Jackson Hollywood Brown Brown thing
Speaker 3: is very simple. The Cardinals got fleased. Giving up the
Speaker 3: twenty third pick of the draft for a guy who
Speaker 3: is not one of the twenty three best receivers in
Speaker 3: football is such a total win for Baltimore. They need
Speaker 3: to communicate that to Lamar. What was weird was that Lamar,
Speaker 3: according to Hollywood Brown, he told Lamar he didn't want
Speaker 3: to be there. He knew Lamar knew that Hollywood wanted
Speaker 3: a trade, and Lamar still seemed all shocked by it.
Speaker 3: And so, but they've got to sit Lamar down and say,
Speaker 3: we are one of, if not the best run franchise
Speaker 3: in the NFL.
Speaker 5: With our first first.
Speaker 3: Round pick, we got a guy who could have been
Speaker 3: a top five pick in Kyle Hamilton, the safety from
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. With our second first round pick instead of
Speaker 3: a third fourth tier wide receiver in Hollywood Brown, who
Speaker 3: was about to become more expensive. We got a center
Speaker 3: who could be the starting center here for the next
Speaker 3: ten years. Center is the safest position to draft in
Speaker 3: the first round. Historically, centers that go in the first
Speaker 3: round one hundred percent of them.
Speaker 5: I heard this star in.
Speaker 3: The draft have gotten a second contract in this league
Speaker 3: over the last.
Speaker 5: Twenty years, which means they have been zero true busts.
Speaker 3: And you just got to tell Lamar, like, if aj
Speaker 3: Brown nets the eighteenth pick, the fact of the matter
Speaker 3: is that you could get the twenty third pick for
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown. Is just it shows that the Cardinals don't
Speaker 3: know what they're doing. The Cardinals are an example if
Speaker 3: you ask me of a team trying too hard to
Speaker 3: appease their quarterback. I think that Kyler Murray wanted Hollywood Brown,
Speaker 3: so they went out and got him, and they paid
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty cents on the dollar for him,
Speaker 3: and so I think that there are certain star players
Speaker 3: you need to acquies to their demands. These two specific instances,
Speaker 3: I understand what the teams did, particularly the one in Baltimore.
Speaker 5: I think that was very simple.
Speaker 3: Arizona called up and said, we want to give you
Speaker 3: the twenty third pick for Hollywood, Brown and Baltimore. Eric
Speaker 3: to Costain Baltimore said, deal, no takebacks, call over, send
Speaker 3: it in. You don't wait on them to reconsider that
Speaker 3: all right now? I think we're playing a game this
Speaker 3: or that demons.
Speaker 5: What's first up?
Speaker 4: Patriots drafted quarterback in the fourth round who also sets
Speaker 4: the records for most passing yards in FBS history. Yep,
Speaker 4: mac Jones should be worried or not worried. Oh, he
Speaker 4: should be worried. He should be worried because no matter what,
Speaker 4: this is bad sign. The first option is the Patriots
Speaker 4: are not sold on mac Jones and they want some
Speaker 4: mac Jones insurance.
Speaker 5: That's not a good sign.
Speaker 3: The second option is they're trying to motivate him, trying
Speaker 3: to add a little chip on a shore, like, hey, Mac,
Speaker 3: maybe a little less time in the trademark office and
Speaker 3: practice in you're gritty and a little more time.
Speaker 5: Brined and tape. Uh.
Speaker 3: That wouldn't be a good sign. Option three is the one.
Speaker 3: I think the Patriots flatley just don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3: That they they're a terrible drafting team. That Belichick has
Speaker 3: lost his fastball and his slider and his changeup. When
Speaker 3: it comes to the draft, none of their picks made
Speaker 3: sense according to the people that say listen, I'm not
Speaker 3: someone that has their own mock draft, but I know
Speaker 3: what the mock drafts say. I know what the supposed
Speaker 3: experts on TV say, and they were all unanimous that
Speaker 3: the Patriots had the biggest reach of the first round,
Speaker 3: a massive reach in round two. And I love the
Speaker 3: fact that my chiefs made two separate draft day trades
Speaker 3: with the Patriots because I look at the Patriots as
Speaker 3: the sucker at the poker table. You want to keep
Speaker 3: doing business with him, you want to keep getting in
Speaker 3: hands with him, and so I just I think the
Speaker 3: Patriots are They did this a lot with Brady, where
Speaker 3: they would use mid round picks on quarterbacks that, aside
Speaker 3: from at the Jimmy G you could say, panned out
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett, I guess you could say panned out kind of.
Speaker 3: But neither one did anything for New England except for
Speaker 3: the four games when Brady was suspended for cheating and
Speaker 3: the Patriots got back for Jimmy G what they had
Speaker 3: invested in Jimmy G like I and for Jacoby they
Speaker 3: got back less than what they had invested in him,
Speaker 3: Like I don't. I don't think we talked about this
Speaker 3: last week. I think using mid round picks on quarterbacks
Speaker 3: is almost always a fool's errand and Warren Sharp tweeted,
Speaker 3: this is just the third time in the last thirty
Speaker 3: or twenty years that the team has spent a top
Speaker 3: fifteen pick on a quarterback, and the very next year
Speaker 3: spent a first four round pick on a quarterback. The
Speaker 3: other two times it's happened was Josh Rosen went tenth
Speaker 3: overall and then the Cardinals totally gave up on him
Speaker 3: and took Kyler number one, So that's different.
Speaker 5: And the Texans when they.
Speaker 3: Took David Carr number one overall and then Dave ragone
Speaker 3: in the fourth round twenty some years ago, and that was,
Speaker 3: you know, that was the Texans, not a well run team.
Speaker 3: So I think Max should be worried because it's either
Speaker 3: because they don't believe in him, they want to add
Speaker 3: motivation which he shouldn't need to have added, or they
Speaker 3: don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 5: I think it's they don't know what they're doing, all right,
Speaker 5: what's next? I hope Mac Jones.
Speaker 4: Hears that choose to give a PEPs off to one
Speaker 4: Carl Anthony Towns or Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 5: Oh, I give one to Baker. I don't think Carlton
Speaker 5: Downs means a pep talk. I think Carl Anthony Dowal
Speaker 5: he needs a stern lecture. I think Carl Anthony Towns. Now.
Speaker 3: I am sympathetic to Carl Anthony Towns because during COVID
Speaker 3: his family was decimated by COVID and he had to
Speaker 3: deal with so much death and so much loss that
Speaker 3: I'm sympathetic to him.
Speaker 5: As a person. But on the court, his lack of
Speaker 5: maturity is so jarring and the preening is silly.
Speaker 3: His lack of understanding of time score situation, that three
Speaker 3: he took with three minutes left, we'll just resonate in
Speaker 3: my brain for weeks to go in the NBA playoffs,
Speaker 3: So Carly in Lee Towns, I just think, buddy, you
Speaker 3: just finish your seven.
Speaker 5: You're bat on defense, you take dumb shots.
Speaker 3: I just Baker needs a pep talk because this thing
Speaker 3: looks like it's gonna drag on even longer, and this
Speaker 3: is an uncomfortable situation. At this point, I wonder if
Speaker 3: the Browns are trying to get some clarity.
Speaker 5: On what if?
Speaker 3: What if post You know, major League Baseball just suspended
Speaker 3: Trevor Bauer for two years.
Speaker 5: What if the Browns are now worried?
Speaker 3: What if the NFL doesn't suspend to Shawan for six
Speaker 3: games or eight games or even ten games? What if
Speaker 3: they suspend to Shan for a full season? Do we
Speaker 3: actually need Baker to play next year? Like whatever it is,
Speaker 3: it's not a great situation for Baker Mayfield. So he's
Speaker 3: the one I would give the pep talk to.
Speaker 5: All Right, what's next?
Speaker 4: Poor guy? Stranger a moment Odell reporting d boats in
Speaker 4: New England or Drayvon lebrating his.
Speaker 5: Ejection Listen, Odell was just being a goofball on Twitter.
Speaker 3: Draymond's like total mental break after being ejected was a
Speaker 3: it was vindication for the officials. I don't know Draymond's
Speaker 3: out here saying it's a reputation penalty.
Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit.
Speaker 3: But you know, the other reason you got a flagrant
Speaker 3: two was probably because you committed two flagrant ones on
Speaker 3: the same play. You whacked him in the face, that's
Speaker 3: a flagrant one. You grabbed his jersey and pulled him down.
Speaker 3: That could be a flagrant one.
Speaker 5: And if the.
Speaker 3: Refs had any type of you know, question about as
Speaker 3: this right to kick him out, the fact that he
Speaker 3: ran around the court like a total maniac vindicated their decision.
Speaker 3: But here's the other thing that matters Draymond Green. When
Speaker 3: he was suspended for Game five of the NBA Finals
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 5: Here's what happened.
Speaker 3: He got a flagrant two at the end of a
Speaker 3: Round one game against the Rockets for body slamming Michael Beasley.
Speaker 5: That's two flagrant foul points. At four, you get suspended.
Speaker 3: He got a flagrant one for kicking Steven Adams in
Speaker 3: the groin in the conference finals, and then for what
Speaker 3: in Game four of the finals, he punched at Lebron's groin,
Speaker 3: got a flagrant for that. He didn't get suspended for
Speaker 3: what he did a Lebron. He got suspended because it
Speaker 3: was his fourth flagrant foul point. Well, now he has
Speaker 3: two flagrant foul points, two more and he's suspended.
Speaker 5: I got a question for you.
Speaker 3: You don't think Chris Paul or Luke ad Ancic, two
Speaker 3: of the most irritating s talking players in the whole league,
Speaker 3: are going to get under Draymond's skin to the point
Speaker 3: to where he takes a swipe at one of them.
Speaker 3: I would bet he does. And so Draymond like did
Speaker 3: not learn from that lesson and this whole oh woe
Speaker 3: is me? I would argue Draymond's rep works in his
Speaker 3: favor when it comes to his ability to scream at officials.
Speaker 3: He gets away with what would be technical finals for
Speaker 3: ninety five players in the league because oh, that's just
Speaker 3: Draymond being Draymond. So but I thought his reaction after
Speaker 3: being ejected was total lunacy.
Speaker 5: All right, what's next? Best dad?
Speaker 4: Job's dad or Jeremy Rucords dad with absolutely nuts after
Speaker 4: he got drafted by the Nets.
Speaker 5: I think they're both great dads.
Speaker 3: But Tim Rant seems to be a ton of fun,
Speaker 3: and I loved that when Tim Morant was asked after
Speaker 3: Game six by a local reporter about what he thought
Speaker 3: of Jos's performance, He's like, ah, Joe was trash this game,
Speaker 3: and Joe has said that my dad's my biggest hater, and.
Speaker 5: He was showing it there.
Speaker 3: I love the fact that he's courtside for all these games.
Speaker 3: If you know their story, he poured so much time
Speaker 3: and energy into his son, and the fact that he
Speaker 3: now gets to watch him on.
Speaker 5: This stage I think is so exciting.
Speaker 3: So I give him to listen Jeremy Rutgerds Dad, that
Speaker 3: moment was great too, but I'll give it to Tea Morant.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back with a story about me hitting
Speaker 3: a parked car.
Speaker 2: Sweet.

Speaker 3: on your podcast feeds The fifty greatest players the last
Speaker 3: fifty years, so Deman's This is such a bad beat
Speaker 3: for me in every way possible. So let me give
Speaker 3: a little context here. Okay, So, like you know, I
Speaker 3: don't know if we've talked aroun on the show. Like
Speaker 3: six months ago, your mom gave me a hard time
Speaker 3: about the car needing new tires, like, we do not
Speaker 3: need the tires. We just got the car, you're wrong.
Speaker 3: And then like a week later, I was driving with
Speaker 3: her and one of our tires went flat, and she
Speaker 3: was like, oh, we don't need new tires. So then
Speaker 3: I made an appointment to buy four new tires. In
Speaker 3: between then and when we got the new tires, another
Speaker 3: tire went flat.
Speaker 5: But when she was driving, you remember that, and it
Speaker 5: was like, shit, just got it. You got out of
Speaker 5: the car and fixed it.
Speaker 3: I got out of the car and fixed it the
Speaker 3: first time, and then I had to go fix it
Speaker 3: the second time. The whole thing was disaster, And the
Speaker 3: biggest disaster was I argued with your mom about something
Speaker 3: and then was just proven dead ass wrong And I
Speaker 3: hit the clock for segments one and two. I'm going
Speaker 3: to need a little extra time for this one. So
Speaker 3: like a week ago, man, your mom and I are
Speaker 3: driving because you know, when she and I are in
Speaker 3: the car, I drive one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 3: So a week ago, your mom and I are driving,
Speaker 3: and she does what she loves to do, which is
Speaker 3: tell me about my bad driving.
Speaker 5: And I just couldn't take it any more.
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know what, I think. I
Speaker 3: don't want to fight. I think though, I'm going to
Speaker 3: take a break from driving. I think I'll start being
Speaker 3: the passenger, Like, you don't like how I drive, I'd
Speaker 3: rather just chill anyway. She's like, oh, she's but she insulted,
Speaker 3: insulted driving.
Speaker 5: But and I'm like, I don't want to fight.
Speaker 3: But that, of course leads to not a fight, but
Speaker 3: a discussion, right. And at one point during the discussion,
Speaker 3: I'm like, Babe, we've been together almost fifteen years.
Speaker 5: I've never been in a car accident. I was like,
Speaker 5: do you think that's just luck?
Speaker 3: And she said, basically, yes, I do think it's luck
Speaker 3: because she's been in a few and I don't say
Speaker 3: anything about her driving. She's like, yeah, I do think
Speaker 3: it's luck. I think you're a bad driver and you're
Speaker 3: just lucky you don't.
Speaker 5: Get an accident. I'm like, okay, I think my record
Speaker 5: speaks for itself. That was one week ago. All right,
Speaker 5: welcome to fast forward. Well, fast forward to yesterday.
Speaker 3: So I on Saturday night had a few cocktails with
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna name names, someone I work with here
Speaker 3: at Fox and I, and so I was like, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm going to leave my car at his
Speaker 3: house an uber back to the hotel because I've been
Speaker 3: drinking and do the responsible thing. So Sunday morning rolls around,
Speaker 3: I wake up, I uber some my buddy's house. I
Speaker 3: don't knock on his door or anything that, just uber
Speaker 3: to where my car is.
Speaker 5: Make a U turn in this residential street.
Speaker 3: I am twenty feet from where the car was originally parked,
Speaker 3: going in the other direction. Because I've made the U turn,
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like, you know, over on the other
Speaker 3: side of the street. And a damn cat darts into
Speaker 3: the street and instead of stopping, I try to swerve
Speaker 3: and I us crush this one hundred thousand dollars BMW
Speaker 3: parked on the side of the road. I mean just
Speaker 3: I'm driving this jeep and I just nail it and
Speaker 3: like almost drive up on the car, bang my.
Speaker 5: Head on the steam wheel.
Speaker 3: The whole nine It's a loud enough collision that my
Speaker 3: coworker heard it from his house, didn't know it was me.
Speaker 3: Came outside in his pajamas, and I'm in the street, having.
Speaker 5: Wrecked his neighbor's car. And so now I have I'm
Speaker 5: driving a rental, got some money problems. Now at this point,
Speaker 5: I assumed, well, let's.
Speaker 3: Be honest, I'm not having money problem, but there will
Speaker 3: be there will be a financial penalty associated with this
Speaker 3: because I mess up this dude's car. I'm in the rental.
Speaker 3: I didn't get the insurance on the rental because those
Speaker 3: things are a scam, Like my car insurance follows me.
Speaker 3: But I'm sure it's not going to be an easy
Speaker 3: I'm sure. And so I this happened yesterday. I you know,
Speaker 3: I've contacted and connected with Couz. By the way, I
Speaker 3: couldn't find the guy whose car it was. I knocked
Speaker 3: on every door in the neighborhood. So I just left
Speaker 3: the note on the windshield and left my number with
Speaker 3: someone who's walking down the street because they said they
Speaker 3: knew the person. So I've gotten in contact with him
Speaker 3: and sent that person all my info. So I know,
Speaker 3: like that's gonna be taken care of. But I haven't
Speaker 3: even called the car rental place yet. I don't even
Speaker 3: know what to tell him.
Speaker 5: You just got you just gotta messed up jeep. Right,
Speaker 5: How bad is the jeep?
Speaker 3: It's not great, buddy, It's not great. None of it's great.
Speaker 3: I mean it's like a And the car I hit
Speaker 3: was not what we call a cheap car. You know,
Speaker 3: it's not gonna I'm not gonna be able to pull
Speaker 3: the old demanse, which is, hey, how about we meet
Speaker 3: and I give you fifteen hundred bucks in a parking
Speaker 3: lot it probably pays for the vehicle that that ain't
Speaker 3: gonna fly here.
Speaker 5: This is gonna be a real thing that is in
Speaker 5: my life now.
Speaker 3: And the worst part of all of it, worse than
Speaker 3: the money, worse than any of it, is that your
Speaker 3: mom now, oh, gets to be like, oh, you don't
Speaker 3: get recks. Huh, you just hit parked cars. And so
Speaker 3: I was supposed to pick her up from the airport.
