1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: Well, this's gonna be an interesting one. It's gonna be

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: an interesting one.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 3: You don't want no parts of this show?

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: Do? I have no interest in anything that's about to

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: unfold in the world of American sports over the next

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: four hours. But somehow, uh, that does not preclude me

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: from sitting here and hanging out with you on Fox

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday and Fox Sports Radio. So I will do

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: what human beings do in this situation.

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 4: He from m I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try. It

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: is it is, it is.

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of optimism around Golden State Warriorville

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: if you ask me right now. Uh, but that's just me.

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to today. But go ahead,

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: what's you about to ask?

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 5: I just wanted to send a shout out to someone

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 5: who's just on the air right before us. She is

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 5: a tremendous asset to the iHeart Family and and Fox

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 5: Sports One. It's Moncy Balanos. She is a diehard Clipper fan.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 5: I don't know how and why. And I walked in

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 5: the studio and for years I'll walk in and I'll

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 5: give her a hard time because I mean it's the Clippers,

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 5: and I'm a Lakers guy.

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 4: Of course, that's how it was.

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 5: But today she was trying to hurry up and get

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 5: out of here, grab her things and just sneak out

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 5: the back, and I'm like, no, no, let's just talk. I

29
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 5: gave her a hug, and I was just like, hey,

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 5: look right. I warned her of this prior to, you know,

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 5: the series. I said, it's gonna go seven, and they're

32
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 5: gonna let you down like they always let you down,

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: being the Clippers. And you know, the guy they were

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 5: who saved their season for them and did all these

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: wonderful things for them, who was notorious for not showing

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 5: up in seven games, in the same seventh game of

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: a seven game series, did it again, maybe worse than

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 5: he's ever done it. And I said, that's not you, Monzi.

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 5: There's no reflection on you and your fandom. It's a

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: hymn problem.

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: It's like she's in a bad relationship, right, She's in

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 5: a toxic relationship, and I'm trying to tell her I

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 5: am in.

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 6: A bad relationship.

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 5: I don't know how to get out of it.

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 6: I'll be back next year, don't worry.

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: Hi, Manzi, him, So I just wanted to start to

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: show off.

50
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 4: Manzi, Manzi, you should be thrilled.

51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: You should be absolutely thrilled because the Clippers mantra through

52
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: the years of what they root for this time of

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: year has already happened.

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: It's called the Lakers didn't win.

55
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 7: So.

56
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: Lining that's all they care about.

57
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: A few hours from now, it's quite possible, if not probable,

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: that the Lakers and Warriors didn't do it either.

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 5: So it'll all be on vacation together, all the California team.

60
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: Can kun here. We all come, you know. Wow.

61
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: But then again, one of us faint though it may be,

62
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: still got a heartbeat, still got a heartbeat. And two

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: years ago, damn near on this day. Two years ago,

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry took his team on a Round one road

65
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: game seven, and he scored fifty points and they won

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: the basketball game.

67
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: Different assignment than it is tonight.

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Like I said, I'll be straight with you, I don't

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: love their chances, but the chances are what they are.

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: And so we're gonna get We're gonna get to all this.

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: And here's what I actually want to throw out there

72
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: that does kind of encompass all three of these series

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: I got all three of them. Well, I haven't gotten

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: one of them wrong yet because the Warriors haven't lost yet.

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: But I thought the Lakers would win that series. I

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 2: thought the Clippers would win that series. I really did.

77
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: And so.

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: There's been all kinds of wrong. But here's one thing

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: that I personally, I am not going to let people do,

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: at least not on my watch. And I don't love

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: what I'm hearing all week long with regard to these

82
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: two players. As we come to you live here from

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios, I just want to say this,

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: there are certain things in life that are already established

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: and you can just go ahead and move forward.

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: With those things as facts.

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: Can you imagine, for example, if the great Doctor Martin

88
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: Luther King Jr.

89
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: Were to give a speech in the day and age

90
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: of social.

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: Media, and what if on one given Sunday he just

92
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: a little bit like as a human being, it just

93
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: a little bit off his game, maybe flub a word,

94
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: flub a word, and there it is on repeat with

95
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: a Michael Jordan crying meme next to it or whatever

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: to say.

97
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 4: Oh, it looks like the King is slowing down a

98
00:04:59,160 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: little bit.

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we need to rethink where the king actually

100
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: sits in the framework of great Americans and great speakers

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: and all of these.

102
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 4: No, don't do that. It has already been established.

103
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: And what I do not want to hear in the

104
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: age of one first round exit and the possibility over

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: the next three hours of another first round exit, I

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: do not want to hear questions like, well, what do'll

107
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: stop mean now for Lebron and Steph's legacy. I have

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: one word for you, and then it is the only word.

109
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: Nothing. That's what it does to their legacy.

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: One is forty, the other is thirty seven and smaller

111
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: than me. I cannot stand the fact that some are

112
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: going to cherry pick on what's happening with these two

113
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: right now. Disappointing, yes, no question about. One of them

114
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: was the three seed, the other one had a three

115
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: to one lead a few days ago, and though again

116
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: it's not gone yet, if the Rockets win the basketball

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: game tonight, I really don't want to hear people try

118
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: to reboot cool Lebron and Steph have been in this era.

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: I think it is a silly argument.

120
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we're creatures of the moment. We all are.

121
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 5: It's just human beings. That's what it is. Lebron James

122
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: had a citizational year. My biggest problem with what happened

123
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: with the Lakers wasn't necessarily on Lebron James our Luca

124
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 5: for that matter, It was mainly.

125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 8: On JJ Reddick. JJ Reddick had a bad series, no doubt.

126
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 5: He had an awful series. Now, my wife we were

127
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: taking we were watching the highlights of the game yesterday

128
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 5: and watching you know, Denver just boat race Clippers, and

129
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: she said, how important is coaching opposed to you know,

130
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 5: your superstar players. And I said, well, in the playoffs,

131
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: it's the number one thing. Like your players are going

132
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 5: to be your players. Your players have played great all year,

133
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: so they're in the playoffs for a reason. But the

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: thing about playoffs are the playoff series and adjustments are

135
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,119
Speaker 5: lack of adjustments that are made.

136
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: So if you're not.

137
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 5: Making adjustments, are doing what you're supposed to do as

138
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: a coach, you put your star players in a bad situation. Now,

139
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 5: she was like, well, Lebron James just come down to

140
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: the court and be like, Nope, I'm gonna do this

141
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna do that. I said, yeah, that's Lebron James.

142
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: But Lebron James doesn't sub players in and out. Our

143
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: matchups are designed things to take advantage of the other team.

144
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: That's what a coach does. And if a coach doesn't

145
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 5: do any of that, then you get what we got

146
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: in that Clippers, I mean, in that Lakers series, which

147
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 5: was absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. You let someone named Rudy Gobert,

148
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 5: who was a laughing stock outside of his defensive prowess,

149
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 5: sometimes score twenty seven and twenty twenty seven points and

150
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: twenty plus rebounds, and you consistently let your only real

151
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 5: rim protector and big bodies sit over there because you

152
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 5: decided before the game that he wasn't gonna play. I

153
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 5: don't know how you have to make it make sense,

154
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: because it doesn't. It doesn't make sense. How would you

155
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 5: make That's like saying at halftime, we decided we weren't

156
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 5: going to make any substitutions the second half. Well, and

157
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: then you get in the second half and no one

158
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 5: is going to be like, hey, maybe we should give

159
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 5: Lebron a break for three minutes.

160
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 2: Jay's forty yeah, J J Reddick coach this series the

161
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: way that I play Madden against my son, and it's

162
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: this because I wasn't. I'm not eighteen years old, so

163
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: I can't pick up an Xbox controller and know all

164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: twelve buttons and control like, oh, there's one underneath.

165
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 4: That you need to know.

166
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 5: Oh you didn't tell me about this was down here.

167
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 2: There's a spin move if you get double BCD x Y.

168
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you talking about? So I look

169
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: at a play and I'm like, I know where I'm

170
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: throwing the ball before the play starts, and that's it.

171
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: And if it gets picked, it gets picked.

172
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 5: You get fifty years old. No, I'm a gamer. He

173
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 5: sounds Oh I'm a gamer. Fine, I'm not like, I

174
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: see my shirt, I'm gonna lose.

175
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: Yes, fine, I'm fine with sounding old, because when it

176
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: comes to Xbox, I am. It's totally okay. I grew

177
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: up with an Atari. There was a button on it

178
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: and button. There's a button, you pushed it, things happen.

179
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: That's how I grew up. I don't care if it

180
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: sounds old. That's the way I play, and that's the

181
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: way JJ Reddick coached the series in twenty twenty five.

182
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: He made decisions well before it was time to make them,

183
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: and then showed no ability to adjust on the arth

184
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: so bad, and then he it was even worse than

185
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: that I thought, because also he just he absolutely kicked

186
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 2: every press conference.

187
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: He got mad, he was he was henri he was arrogant.

188
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 5: I'm like, bro, you you were sucking right now?

189
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? You.

190
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 5: And what I will say is is the media was

191
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 5: gentle on him, because if I were in there asking questions,

192
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: I would be like, Hey, does it feel like you're

193
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 5: a little bit over your skis here in your first

194
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 5: playoffs as a head coach? Yeah, That's what I would

195
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: be asking does it feel like the games are getting

196
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 5: away from you? Because that's what they were doing to

197
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 5: Darvin him, but he wasn't making adjustments.

198
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: From They did ask a sort of pressing question in

199
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: that direction, he got up and walked out.

200
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 4: Of the room.

201
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: Well, then he would get up and walk out every

202
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: single yea one.

203
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: They asked him if he was going to lean further

204
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: on his assistance, if things are going a certain way

205
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 2: and you want to make lineup changes. He took offense

206
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: to it. He answered it very tersely and got up

207
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: and walked out of the room. This is after Game

208
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: one where he came out and publicly said we were

209
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: surprised by the physicality of what Minnesota brought to her.

210
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: And yes, like I thought there was just one you said,

211
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: that's a red flag. I said it that moment. You're

212
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: exactly right. I was like, what are you saying? This

213
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: is the playoffs? You surprised by physicality? Then you're making

214
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: lineup decisions hours before a hot say I just I

215
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: don't know.

216
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: Man to people, so and so was not going to play.

217
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 5: What what if you need him?

218
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: What if you need him?

219
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: And they needed him?

220
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: Wat's what the Warriors have been doing. They haven't played

221
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan Kaminga in a month and a half.

222
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 5: But the Max C kleeberd right.

223
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: But if you ask him, is Kaminga potentially in the plan?

224
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: They'll be like, everything's on the table. It's all on

225
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: the table, always mass.

226
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: Kleeber, everybody's got it. Back into the basketball game, and

227
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: no one knew who the hell that was and where

228
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 5: he came from. In an elimination game, Max Kleeber came

229
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: into the basketball game. If JJ Reddick hadn't had the

230
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 5: regular season, he had say they you know, teetered, you know,

231
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 5: one game above five hundred, and they got in and

232
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 5: the ten seed and and won two playing games and

233
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 5: this was his first round series. Then he would be

234
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 5: fired today. Yeah, he would be fired today. But because

235
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: they were able to be the third seed, which is

236
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 5: an accomplishment. And I think he did really well. I

237
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 5: thought he had some it'd had some consideration for Coach

238
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 5: of the Year based on what he was able to do,

239
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 5: especially with a big shake up midway through the season.

240
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 5: But he was completely out coaching, exposed and well over

241
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 5: his skis, and he just couldn't even barely tread water

242
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. And we must hold people accountable. Period.

243
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you why.

244
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: It very quickly went from championship aspirations to the possibility

245
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: of Lebron's time as a Laker being done. It sounded

246
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: to me last week like you were pretty close to

247
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 2: advocating that. Love to ask you more about that coming

248
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: up next. Also the way Lebron answered questions about the

249
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: remainder of his career. And then look, we've got a

250
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: game coming down the stretch that may well be an upset.

251
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: In Game one, the Pacers have the lead right now

252
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: with just a few minutes to go, and then that

253
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: also leads us to another Game seven in Houston, tonight

254
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: and definitely want your thoughts on where you think that

255
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: one is going to go. There was a late scratch

256
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: from the lineup for the Warriors. We'll get you all

257
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: of this coming up in just moments with Ephrom Salam.

272
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: the Cavaliers are gonna lose Game one. Yes, the Cavaliers

273
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: are going to lose Game one. The Pacers were down

274
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: by a point with about six minutes to go in

275
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: the game and have gone on a fifteen to.

276
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: Four run and now lead by ten.

277
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: As they are just about a minute to go in

278
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: this game, so only a miracle can save the Cavaliers

279
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: from this one. The Pacers come in after that hard

280
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: fought series against Giannis and the Bucks that did you know,

281
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: I know it didn't end up looking like it was

282
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: that hard fought, but it was seemingly moments away from

283
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: becoming a long series. And then the Pacers go on

284
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: a run and Tyrese Haliburton's dad happened and all of

285
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: those good things, and here we are and the Pacers

286
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: are about to steal game one on the road.

287
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, shout out to the Pacers

288
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 5: and shout out to their star Tyrese Halliburton, who was

289
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 5: voted the most overrated player uh.

290
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: In the league.

291
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 5: And they're on the cusp of taking down the Cleveland Cavaliers,

292
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 5: who've had a phenomenal season this year at home.

293
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: Uh and taking control of this series.

294
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: And you know the thing, you know, a bottom like this,

295
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: will Cleveland come out and shoot that poorly from three

296
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: point line?

297
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 4: Again?

298
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: Probably?

299
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 4: Not? Probably, and Darius Garland was out, yes.

300
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: But what it does is if it gives you.

301
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: Room to money, you have house money now, yep. Right,

302
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 5: the pressure is completely off of you. Now, all you

303
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: have to do is go play basketball.

304
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: That's it.

305
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 5: The pressure is completely off. And that doesn't mean taking

306
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: foot off the gas. Next game, the next game, you

307
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 5: come out with the same energy and intensity like they

308
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 5: started this game like that they started and he started

309
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 5: this game trying to prove a point yep and caught

310
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 5: Cleveland off guard early and they never really could Now

311
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: they caught up and then yeah, but they never really

312
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 5: could you take advantage or solidify themselves as being the

313
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 5: more aggressive team in this series.

314
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: So shout out to.

315
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 5: The Pacers Halli, Burton and you know that, just that

316
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: whole squad and fighting the way they're fighting.

317
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 3: And look, man, that's what the playoffs is.

318
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: For, no doubt.

319
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: You got to come out and play. But I think

320
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: you you spotlighted the stat that sort of plays, and so.

321
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 4: You're not wrong. But I'm all so not concerned yet

322
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: if I'm the Cavs.

323
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 5: No, absolutely not concerned at all.

324
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: And it's because of the stat you just mentioned.

325
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: The Cavs good three point shooting team, and one of

326
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: their better three point shooters is out today shot twenty

327
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: three percent.

328
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 5: Yeah that's not from behind the arc. It's probably not

329
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 5: gonna happen again at home.

330
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 4: Combined, Yeah, with the Pacers shooting fifty three percent from three.

331
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: That's the thing that gives me pauls for the Cavaliers because.

332
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: Normally, good defensive team.

333
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, normally.

334
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 5: They run people off the three point line and opposing

335
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 5: teams struggle a little bit on the road shooting the

336
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 5: long ball. Now, if you let a team come in

337
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 5: and shoot over fifty percent from distance on your court,

338
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 5: they're saying like, hey, even if we shot forty percent

339
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: and we still got a chance.

340
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: You know.

341
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 5: So if you leave the door open to being like, Okay,

342
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 5: we played great defense, got great? Can we shoot great

343
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 5: next week? And well our defense, they don't both have

344
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 5: to be what they are today because you've had a

345
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: real stronghold on this game. Today, it'll be closer than

346
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: probably it was because it's coming down to the end

347
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 5: and they just running down just throwing up shots and

348
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: and and he's really not trying to score anymore. But

349
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 5: I mean, they watching this game. They came out with

350
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 5: the purpose. They accomplished that that's to win one of

351
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 5: these games.

352
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: They got it.

353
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 5: Now if they can somehow muster up this same level

354
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 5: of energy and efficiency and get instill another one.

355
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: Boy, goodness gracious, now and then you got problems.

356
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 2: Keep in mind, and if you've watched the Pacers play

357
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 2: at all, you think about Holler Burton, you think about Siakam,

358
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: you think about Miles Turner, maybe you think a little

359
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: bit about McConnell. Off the bench, the Pacers tonight from

360
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: Aaron nes Smith and Andrew Nimbard went nine of twelve.

361
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: From the three point range.

362
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 3: Big time.

363
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 4: Okay, that's not happening again.

364
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: No, and now I say that as someone who's been

365
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: saying that about Fred van Vliet of the Rockets for

366
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: three games.

367
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: In a row.

368
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: It's not gonna happen again.

369
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 4: Yes it is, Yes it is.

370
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: He's shooting over fifty percent from three for the last

371
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 2: three games combined, so that certainly helped turn that series.

372
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: And how's this arriving at a game seven?

373
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: That is going to be our next game that we're

374
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: going to kind of have a watch party with here

375
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: for the rest of the night and before it starts.

376
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: I would love to get your thought on what you've

377
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: seen the last couple of games that has gotten the

378
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: Rockets back into this and what kind of chance.

379
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: Do you give the Road Warriors tonight.

380
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 5: I think the number one thing. I give them a

381
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 5: shot there, the road Warriors. I give them a shot

382
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 5: based on experience. You know, they got Hall of Fame players,

383
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 5: two Hall of three, Hall ofa Hall of Fame players.

384
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 5: When it's all said and done on that roster and

385
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame coach, you can't count that out.

386
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 5: But what I will say is the Rockets did some

387
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 5: things last game to confuse and frustrate Golden State. They

388
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 5: they jumped in the zone. They were in the zone

389
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 5: for a large portion of that game. And it really

390
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 5: I mean they they were going they're going to double

391
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 5: steph They're gonna make it difficult for him to do

392
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 5: it the end. They're gonna let anybody else beat them.

393
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: And so can that anybody else step up compared step up?

394
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 5: Can can GP two step up?

395
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 4: Well? GP two not gonna step up because he's out.

396
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: Oh well that's that's really that's concerning.

397
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: Yes, he woke up, as they put it, quote sick

398
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: as a dog. Oh no, absolutely no way he can play.

399
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: So he is not playing. And and and you know

400
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: you're pointing to who can step up and make shots.

401
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: But the real effect that that has is on the

402
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: defensive end where he is a.

403
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 4: Plus performer for sure.

404
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: And the guy that they in theory would assign to

405
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: slow down, Fred van Vliet, and he will not be

406
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: available for the Warriors tonight.

407
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 5: That's gonna be tough. You know what else is tough?

408
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 5: Trying to just fill space in the airwaves prior to

409
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 5: us getting to thirty after the hour. Yeah, because that's

410
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 5: essentially no matter what we're talking about, we're just filling

411
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 5: air because the guy who's the soothsayer and the truth

412
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: speaker is on his way. Let's get that baritone voice

00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 9: to one twelve and in this one, the Pacers, although

427
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,600

00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 9: York in the bottom of the seventh inning. Among the

473
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 9: earlier games, Texas and San Francisco each want at home.

474
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 9: The Padres won their fifth in a row four nothing

475
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 9: at Pittsburgh Tampa Bay, a winner at the Yankees seven

476
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 9: to five, and Sovereignty yesterday was the Kentucky Derby Race winner.

477
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 9: Turns out he claims as ancestors three of the more

478
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 9: legendary thoroughbreds ever Ancestor number one affirmed nineteen seventy eight,

479
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 9: Triple Crown winner, Ancestor number two Seattle Slough nineteen seventy seven,

480
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 9: Triple Crown winner, Ancestor number three Secretariat Triple Crown winner

481
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 9: nineteen seventy three. The amazing thing is and I did

482
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 9: not know this until happily. The Louisville Courier Journal pointed

483
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 9: this out this week. A search of pedigrees shows, going

484
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 9: into Saturday's event, every horse running in this year's Kentucky

485
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 9: Derby is a descendant of Secretariat.

486
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 4: Whoa how what? Come on? Secretariat?

487
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: Rolling Stone?

488
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: Come on kidding?

489
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 9: It seems that the horse racing rider was a little

490
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 9: less impressed than I was saying. If you go back

491
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 9: six generations, in most of these elite horses, you'll find

492
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 9: a descendant of someone great. And it turns out in

493
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 9: all Secretariat sired more than six hundred and sixty registered foals. Still,

494
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 9: it's impressive. Every gotta say, to get out loud, every

495
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 9: horse in this year's Kentucky Derby was related to Secretariat.

496
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 4: Secretariat just somewhere, just nodding.

497
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: That's right, yep, yep, look at my race.

498
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: My boy.

499
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 6: Just don't go on the court afterwards and yell at

500
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 6: the opponent.

501
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 5: We're good.

502
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 4: Oh wow, elite reference.

503
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: That's funny, that's pretty good.

504
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: After the race, Secretariat ran out and showed a towel.

505
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: To uh to the losing horses. Amazing, All right? Is

506
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 4: that all? Steve?

507
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 6: I think that's pretty much.

508
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 4: SKay, you want to talk, I mean, if you want

509
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: to talk till eight, actually, I'd be fine with it.

510
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 3: Actually, we're exactly look at it. He's trying to trying

511
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 3: to punch out right now.

512
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: My god, dog, this is gonna be just nothing but stress,

513
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 4: nothing but stress.

514
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 9: Not necessarily.

515
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, Claire might be.

516
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Down by twenty five two minutes in. Thank you, Steve,

517
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 2: appreciate that. As always, Uh, we are live Indie Fox

518
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: Sports Radio Studios. That is he from Salam. I am

519
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: Mark Willard. I'm not distracted yet, but just give us

520
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: a moment and I will be. But yeah, the Warriors

521
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 2: and Rockets getting getting started in this one. You know,

522
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: it's interesting what you said about the Rockets adjustment on

523
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: defense that brought them, uh to a couple of wins

524
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: in a row, and this game here tonight and in

525
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: their home building. I will tell you that Brandon Pajemski,

526
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 2: he says, they went into the lab, they looked at

527
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: what Houston was doing, and they've got it figured out. Okay,

528
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: So doesn't that make you feel better?

529
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 4: So all good? Yeah? Figure it out now?

530
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 5: Alrighty, let's see it.

531
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: This thing shakes out.

532
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, yeah, I'll tell you what I'm already gonna

533
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: give because this is normally Like if this series had

534
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: arrived here at a normal Game seven at home type

535
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 2: of a thing, which is not when you're trailing three

536
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: to one. That's not normally how it works, right, if

537
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: this had gotten here the way the Nuggets and Clippers

538
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 2: got here, I would say, well, this is a sphincter

539
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: game because the Rockets best players are all twenty two,

540
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 2: all of them. They're all twenty two years old. I

541
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: think one of them might still be twenty one. They're

542
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: so young, and you're like, who the gravity of a

543
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: Game seven, it's different. The ball comes out a little

544
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: bit differently, the legs feel a little bit different. There

545
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: is so much gravity to these games. That said, the

546
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: Rockets have already had a couple of performances where I

547
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 2: was looking for them to tighten up, and my word,

548
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: they did not. I mean Game five was a piece

549
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: of cake. That doesn't overly surprise me, the big energy

550
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: of being at home and the desperation of facing elimination.

551
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: But the performance that they put on Friday night in

552
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: San Francisco was really and I got to sit here

553
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: and say this. I went to the game too, if

554
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: I was there to watch it, this was really impressive.

555
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: They were very They won that game from beginning to

556
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: middle to end.

557
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 4: They were better on every front.

558
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: You know, everybody's you know, each team has you know,

559
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: mister hated man, from Draymond Green to Dylan Brooks. Dylan

560
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: got into foul trouble and was a non factor, and

561
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: other players on that team just athletically took over and

562
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: they played very calm in a situation where.

563
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: I thought it was a high likelihood that they would

564
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: get flastered.

565
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 5: Well yeah, and you got to remember playing up there

566
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 5: Oracle was special. But even playing in the new stadium,

567
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 5: it's a difficult place to play against this team. Those fans,

568
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: you guys, are tremendous up there, and to have a

569
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 5: young team just coming.

570
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: There and not even care, oh.

571
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 5: They don't even care. That lets me know they're too

572
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 5: young to understand the magnitude of what's happening. So that

573
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 5: kind of cancels out the tight Sphiners and the like.

574
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: They already they're now in their minds playing with house

575
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 5: money because we're at home and this is what it

576
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 5: was supposed to be.

577
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: Yep, I mean, And Shane Goon had a comment at

578
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: practice yesterday. I was like, oh my goodness, that is

579
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: a big statement. He said, they played six games in

580
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: this series. He goes, we don't feel like they've beat

581
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: us once. Yes, every time we lost, we beat ourselves.

582
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: And I know ALTI the Warriors would say the same thing,

583
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 2: but I think the Rockets can lay a better claim

584
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: to that comment.

585
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 5: I agree, Yeah, yep, definitely, I agree. So he look, man,

586
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: look if Steph comes out and he is last year

587
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 5: game seven, Steph, yeah, then there you know what did

588
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 5: he put up sixty?

589
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: I think it was fifty fifty and Sacramento a couple

590
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: of years ago, Yes, a couple of years ago, and

591
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: there was a famous speech of like, do not get

592
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: on this bus unless you want to follow me. I'm

593
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: gonna take you to this win. And then he went

594
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: up there and did it. We'll see, right, he's playing

595
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: with that off ball in his thought.

596
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is does he have the legs and

597
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: the energy to do it?

598
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Because the Lakers and Warriors we

599
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: talked all about experience.

600
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: I saw it early.

601
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 5: I didn't those teams looked old, old. They just fly

602
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 5: and that and that's the biggest thing. I took away

603
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 5: and I'm taking away from this series. You can see

604
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 5: it happening. You can see it happening. And a couple

605
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: of trips down the court, you're like, oh okay, and

606
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 5: late in the games is when you need that bounce,

607
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 5: you need that that extra gear. Shots get a little shorter,

608
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 5: right like it's it's I can't wait by tip off.

609
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: Let's go and get to this commercial.

610
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 4: Tip off. Here we go.

611
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 5: That's right.

612
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: I may or may not be back. We'll find out.

613
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: But with it from Salama, Mark Wheler, and I do

614
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 2: want to ask you coming up next, do you believe

615
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: it is it's time for the on to move on?

616
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that coming up next on Fox

617
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

618
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

619
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: Okay, right now, it's the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Mark

620
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Whitherardy from Salam all right, games off to an energetic start.

621
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 4: Draymond Green is hitting threes.

622
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 3: Dude, gonna like that?

623
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 8: Like that?

624
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: Well you're doing you don't.

625
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: I'll tell you as a Warrior fan right away, you

626
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: look at that and you go, if Draymond hits.

627
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: Threes, this team usually wins.

628
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 2: However, if Draymond's got eight points and you're still only

629
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: up by two, Like, that's not probably going to last.

630
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: Not planning on that, Yeah, not planning it on that

631
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: being the offense for the rest of the night. I mean,

632
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: whenever a game, a series gets to seven games, you

633
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: sort of know the personality of this whole thing.

634
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 4: And the Warriors need to be able to hit.

635
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: But the other thing they need to be able to do,

636
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 2: which they cannot do very well against the Rockets is

637
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: rebound The Rockets are so so so much taller and

638
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: more athletic, and so we'll see. There is a stat

639
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 2: that has determined it has been predictive of all six

640
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 2: games so far.

641
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 4: Any idea what you think it might be?

642
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 5: No, what is it? Rebounding?

643
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 4: No, it's not rebounding.

644
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 5: Assist?

645
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 4: No, gonna do one more, guess sure, point no.

646
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 7: Thing?

647
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you got it. You got me on that one.

648
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: Wasn't what I was looking for. But it's turnovers. Yeah,

649
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 2: the team with fewer turnovers has won all six basketball games.

650
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: So that tracks take care of that basketball. Take care

651
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: of the basketball, man, that's that. That is what both

652
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 2: of these teams are charged with doing tonight. And look,

653
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of like you know, last night, didn't last

654
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: very long. There's not a whole lot in sports. It's

655
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: better than game seven, you know, it's just feeling. It

656
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: feels different when you're sitting here watching. It doesn't matter

657
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: who's playing now.

658
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 5: I don't think we need seven rounds in the first

659
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 5: seven games in the first round.

660
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 4: I don't. Oh, you don't know, it's interesting, No, I don't.

661
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: I think.

662
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 5: Like for the West, it worked out because the teams

663
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 5: are so evenly matched. I think, how about this for

664
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 5: a hot take, I think if you're in a series

665
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 5: with someone who is within four games of your record,

666
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 5: it goes seven games. If you are in a series

667
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: with someone who ten or more wins above your total,

668
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 5: then it's a five game series.

669
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 4: Interesting, So like a little a little advantage if you will.

670
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So basically, uh, that just means Oklahoma City

671
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: would have been a five game series.

672
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 5: Yes, everything else Oklahoma City, uh, Cleveland?

673
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: Right, I mean in the West, the West, in the West,

674
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: because the West the difference between.

675
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 5: Right, you're absolutely everybody everybody, but okay, from the.

676
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 2: Two seed to the eight seed, it was all forty

677
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 2: eight wins up against it all the same fifty fifty

678
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: one wins.

679
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 4: It was all the almost the exact same, right, so they.

680
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: Get seven game series.

681
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 5: Okay, se could have been over in two games, and

682
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 5: it kind of was, yes, right, Like you know, also

683
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 5: it just it gives you a little bit of you know,

684
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 5: a little bit more to fight for, right, you want

685
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 5: that seven game series. You want as many opportunities as

686
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 5: you can get because that I mean that ok Seed

687
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 5: series was sure, it was literally wasting time.

688
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 7: It was.

689
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: Although I mean for a second, you know Memphis is

690
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 2: over here, like that Game three energy, Yeah, they came

691
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: out and they were up by like twenty seven points

692
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 2: and they still found a way to lose a game.

693
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, bad teams find ways to lose.

694
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Memphis was of all those teams. I agree,

695
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: they were the team that did not belong. But also

696
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 2: they had an assignment that was very, very different from

697
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: all of the other assignments out there. Everybody else so

698
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: jumbled up and so tight and h and this one

699
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 2: has this one has a different look. The Warriors have

700
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 2: at least weathered that initial the initial first half of

701
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: the first quarter home court thing, which they could not

702
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: weather a few nights ago in Houston, But they have

703
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: this time and first time out on the floor for

704
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: TV and the Warriors have a three point lead, So

705
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 2: we will keep you up to date on that one, obviously,

706
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: But a lot still to talk about throughout the NBA

707
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: and quite frankly, uh, the NFL as well, and uh,

708
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: you can just give a little teaser here because I'd

709
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: love to get to this coming up next. It sounded

710
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: to me last week like you're advocating that Lebron doesn't

711
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: play for the Lakers anymore.

712
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 4: Is that true?

713
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 5: I was advocating for us to take a hard look

714
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 5: at how we want to build our future and what's

715
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 5: the best way to build that future around the player

716
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 5: that's going to be there for the future, and that's

717
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 5: Luka Dancic.

718
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 2: That's what I was advocating for. Okay, And have you

719
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: had time to think about it? That's the course I

720
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: have to say something about it. I'm not I'm not

721
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 2: into like everybody's do whatever you do with your body.

722
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: But but dude, over the weekend, I've been looking at

723
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 2: some old highlights like early Luca with the Mavericks. Man,

724
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he's twice the size he used to be.

725
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it, all right, So.

726
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 4: You heard the t's here. It comes e from on

727
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 4: Lebron right around the corner.

728
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

729
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 2: It's the first ever show in the history of Fox

730
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: Sports Radio that's had one and a half hosts actually

731
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 2: doing the show from his here.

732
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do my best.

733
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do my best as the Rockets and Warriors

734
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 2: handle Game seven.

735
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 4: Thank you appreciate it. But nothing's happened yet.

736
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: We're in the first quarter and this sucker is tied

737
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: early on and uh it boy, Game seven stress is

738
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 2: It's a thing we're broadcasting live in the Fox Sports

739
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 2: Radio studios Sunday night. Here we go from the Game

740
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: seven loss for the Clippers last night to the demise

741
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 2: of the Laker and potentially Steph Curry's Warriors too. As

742
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 2: we sit here tonight, got some off season NFL stuff

743
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: to throw at you as well.

744
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 4: But as promised one.

745
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: Ephraim Salaam and the definitive answer, do you want Lebron

746
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 2: James to play for the Lakers anymore or not?

747
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 5: Me coming out and saying no, I don't want him

748
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 5: to play for the Lakers anymore. I don't want him

749
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 5: to play for the Lakers anymore. As currently constructed.

750
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 4: Oh interesting, So what does that mean.

751
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 5: That means we don't have the type of team that

752
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 5: can maximize Luca's abilities. We saw Dallas go through this

753
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 5: as well when he and Kyrie first got together, and

754
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 5: that year they didn't you know, they kind of down

755
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 5: the stretch and didn't make the playoffs. Then they went

756
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 5: out and got not one but two guys who were

757
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 5: lob threats and rim protectors, and it opened up the floor.

758
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 5: So it forced defenses to actually have to really respect

759
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 5: the drive and the lob.

760
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: But it also opened up the short based the shooters.

761
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 4: Yep.

762
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 5: If the team isn't constructed like that, then you can't

763
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 5: maximize Luca's first team all NBA talents. It's not structured

764
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 5: like that right now, and so there's some movement that

765
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 5: needs to happen. Look, I'm a fan of Rory, I'm

766
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 5: a fan of Austin, I'm a fan of Lebron. But

767
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 5: what I do know is out of all those I

768
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 5: just said, I know who's gonna be there for the

769
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 5: next ten years.

770
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 4: I know that.

771
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 5: So in my opinion, you should try to maximize that. Now,

772
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 5: will this off season be the off season that Luca

773
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 5: our Lebron takes Luca under his wing and shows him

774
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 5: how to train his body and get himself like, I

775
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 5: don't know, I don't know what that looks like.

776
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

777
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 5: I mean, Luca's been he's a grown man, he's been

778
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 5: in the league a while now. I don't know if

779
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 5: he's like, I'm gonna do my own way, I'm gonna

780
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 5: do my own thing, right.

781
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is. I don't know what

782
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: those conversations are. Now.

783
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 5: Lebron is somebody he's looked up to, his favorite player,

784
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 5: and so maybe he will take some titbits and some

785
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 5: things away from him that's had Lebron playing at a

786
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 5: high level for essentially ever.

787
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 10: And so.

788
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 5: There's a lot there. But if it's if we're keeping

789
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 5: Lebron and we're keeping everybody and we're gonna run and

790
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 5: died with it, don't Okay?

791
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 4: So I get that.

792
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 2: But the fascinating thing here to me is sort of

793
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: looking at team and player. And I think that this

794
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: is a constant question every single time Lebron, James and

795
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: movement come up, history of his career, who's driving the

796
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: bus and and and that remains as true now as ever.

797
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: And I like, if the Lakers actually did make any

798
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 2: mistakes throughout the last couple of years. And you and

799
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 2: I have gone round and round about this, but I

800
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: really believe that it was a mistake. It was a

801
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 2: mistake at the time for the Lakers to sort of

802
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: do what they did with Brownie. And I know that

803
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,840
Speaker 2: you disagree with that, and and that's fine because I

804
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: can hear the person who goes, wait a minute, this

805
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 2: wasn't a big deal. It's a second round draft pick.

806
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 2: It creates a very special situation for an all time great.

807
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 4: We like all of that. We we we can sit

808
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 4: there and all of that makes sense to me.

809
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 2: But at the same time, very big shot Buddy healed

810
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: from just inside the half court line, buzzer beater to

811
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 2: end the first quarter, and the Warriors will end that

812
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 2: first quarter up by four, very far from an insurmountable lead.

813
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: But like I said, well, but assignment one has been

814
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: taken care of assignment one. I think when you're in

815
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 2: a game like this, weather the storm, weather the storm.

816
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: There's always a very early storm, and the quicker the

817
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 2: Warriors can a weather that and just plant the seed

818
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 2: in the minds of the young Rockets. Plant the seed

819
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: because they've been rolling and the last time they were

820
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 2: in Houston they blew them off the floor. Plant the

821
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: seed tonight will be different. As soon as you can

822
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 2: plant that seed. H maybe you get a little doubt

823
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 2: in there. The warrior look different. The Warriors look different tonight.

824
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 2: That's probably their best quarter in six days.

825
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know so.

826
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 4: Anyway, But getting back to Lebron.

827
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: The thing about Bronni that no one brings up, which

828
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 2: I just think is at least a puzzle piece here,

829
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 2: is that when they did what they did with Bronnie James,

830
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: there was messaging there. That's what bothered me. And the

831
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 2: messaging is here, you run the organization. And I just think,

832
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: even though the idea has been that Lebron has been

833
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 2: doing that for years and I get it, he is

834
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 2: that good. But at the same time, at age thirty

835
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 2: nine at the time, ah, that would have really given

836
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: me pause. And so that that leads to now and

837
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 2: when the Lakers do it again, Ephraim, will they say, well, Lebron,

838
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: what would you like to do?

839
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 7: No?

840
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 5: I know, you know why. I don't think it's that

841
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:08,919
Speaker 5: because Lebron was the the centerpiece of the franchise. Sure

842
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 5: as he should be at the time at the time,

843
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 5: that is no longer the case. And we all know

844
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 5: that he knows that he said that. So now that

845
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 5: conversation is a lot different. They just had, you know,

846
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 5: a video of Luca coming out of dinner with Rob

847
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 5: Polinka and JJ Reddick. Lebron James wasn't there. What was

848
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 5: that conversation about? You get what I'm saying. So the

849
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 5: shift once you got Luca, the shift happened. So although

850
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,479
Speaker 5: that Bronni thing was a good story, and I still

851
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 5: believe that it was a great story, and I think

852
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 5: it was. It's tremendous. It was tremendous for the franchise

853
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 5: and you know, the fans and all of that. It's great.

854
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 5: We're not into stories. Now, we have to build a

855
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 5: team that can compete in the West that were one

856
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 5: game away from everybody being died. So it's a it's

857
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 5: a now it's a real conversation about what is the

858
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 5: best team? If Lebron is here, then who isn't? Yeah,

859
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 5: is the conversation.

860
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a franchise altering series, I believe, and

861
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 2: it's because of what you just said. And I worked

862
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: for years at the flagship station of the Los Angeles Lakers.

863
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 2: So even though I am born in Bred Bay Area

864
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 2: and those are my teams, I feel like I've got

865
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: a really good grasp on how the Laker organization and

866
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 2: its fan base works. And there's two things that are

867
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: really really important with what just happened in this series.

868
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 4: One of them is that was round one and the

869
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 4: other one is that wasn't close.

870
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 2: No, I can't do that, and so that's why it's

871
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 2: franchise And I can hear it in your voice like

872
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: it's franchise altering. Because if you beat Minnesota or you

873
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 2: lose in seven games this year in the West, you

874
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 2: go to the second round, who knows, maybe it was

875
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 2: even the conference finals, maybe there's gonna be right, Like

876
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: do you put a scare into Oka? See, there are

877
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 2: ways to come out of this season. And I know

878
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 2: the Lakers are all about championships, but there were ways

879
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: to come out of this season and have the fan

880
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: base feel like, Okay, we're still in a right We're

881
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 2: in this win contention. This is all making sense right now.

882
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 4: This was not that.

883
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 5: No, do not feel like this was a twenty five.

884
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: Year old superstar who had a grint on his face

885
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 2: for a week and a half and serve. Notice you're

886
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 2: not doing anything in this conference constructed the way you are.

887
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 4: Nothing nothing. So that I know this Laker group and

888
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 4: I know they are not going to sit there and

889
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 4: take this lying down.

890
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 3: No, and no should they.

891
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 5: And so you know when I made that statement, it

892
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 5: had a lot to do with that, right, like, what

893
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 5: does this team look like if Lebron is here? Okay,

894
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 5: then what pieces are gone?

895
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 9: Are?

896
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 5: You know, Lebron is It's up to him if he

897
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 5: wants to be here or not. He has a fifty

898
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 5: two million dollar player option, I believe, and so we're

899
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 5: in a situation where if he opts out, he can

900
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 5: go somewhere else. If he opts in, he's in.

901
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 10: And so.

902
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 5: He can opt out and do a one plus one

903
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 5: free up some money. But that's clearly it's it's up

904
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 5: to him, it really is.

905
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 4: And so.

906
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 8: I just.

907
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 5: If it's about him, like towards Coke the towards the

908
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 5: end of Kobe's career, it was about Kobe, and the

909
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 5: Lakers were okay with that. We're gonna pay him the

910
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 5: money because of what he's meant to this franchise and

911
00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 5: his organization.

912
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 3: And they did, and they paid him that.

913
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 5: Money, and it didn't allow room to bring in anybody

914
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 5: else really, uh, to compete for a championship that is.

915
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 5: And so it's one of those situations where are you

916
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 5: really wanting to ring? Do you really want to ring?

917
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 5: Because if you do, that conversation is different. If you

918
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 5: really want one.

919
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 4: I don't do. Do you get the sense that he does.

920
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a problem.

921
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: That's a problem. That's a problems. So let me but

922
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: before we we kind of scid outle here, that's what

923
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 2: you want to happen. What do you think is going

924
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 2: to happen.

925
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm he's gonna opt in you. I don't think

926
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 5: he's gonna leave that money on the table.

927
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: Okay, but that doesn't I mean you can opt in.

928
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 2: And yeah, they're there, and I think I think they'll

929
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: the door to maneuver.

930
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 5: I think Jackson Hayes is gone. I think uh all

931
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 5: of the answer the Vanderbilt is probably gone. I think

932
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 5: Finny is probably gone. I think it'll be an overhaul.

933
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 4: Now.

934
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 5: I don't know what you can bring in, Like Rory's

935
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 5: under contract, Austin's under contract, and those are good contracts.

936
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 5: They've outperformed their contracts like they've outperformed their contracts. Oh,

937
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 5: Steph tackle him?

938
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 10: Then?

939
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 5: Uh so, I don't know if you can get that

940
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:41,479
Speaker 5: level of value at that price point anywhere else.

941
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: Does that make sense?

942
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 4: Yes?

943
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 3: Did you see Steph tackle?

944
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm laughing at.

945
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 5: I'm just grabbing this Game seven Brothers grab down Game seven.

946
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 2: Well, you know, listen, this is what happens in Game

947
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: seven all and it's not just Steph, although I know

948
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of talk centered on him. You

949
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 2: get to these games and everybody feels like they've been

950
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: fouled four thousand times, and so you're just like, screw it,

951
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I'm gonna come out here

952
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 2: start boxing people if that's what it takes. And there

953
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: are moments where these playoffs.

954
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 4: Have looked like that. So anyway, as you were go

955
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 4: ahead with your thought.

956
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 3: No, I think.

957
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 5: I just think those are the type of conversations that

958
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 5: need to be had. I think you pull Luca in

959
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 5: and they probably already started this process, maybe diffusing the

960
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 5: comments that JJ Reddick said at the end of the

961
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 5: at the end of the year about you know, some

962
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 5: guys aren't in shape, some guys are here to play

963
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 5: and some guys are.

964
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 4: Uh you know, uh huh.

965
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 3: Probably had to be some diffusing there.

966
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 5: But also ultimately, what does our roster need to look

967
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 5: like for us to maximize what your your abilities?

968
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's yeah, that's that's completely fair. It

969
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: is going to be a hell of a fascinating offseason

970
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 2: for that organization. Lebron at age forty incredible, incredible, all right.

971
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 2: Coming up next, I think both of us kind of

972
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: laid out the teams that we thought at the beginning

973
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: of this tournament had a real shot.

974
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 4: My list has been altered. I wonder if yours has.

975
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 2: And that's beyond the obvious in yes, the Lakers will

976
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 2: now they do not have a chance to win the championship.

977
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 4: We now know that. But has the list been altered

978
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 4: at all?

979
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: We will get to that conversation coming up next with

980
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 2: e from salam Mark Willard and this is Fox Sports Radio.

991
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 2: me your give me your breakdown of what we're seeing

992
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: so far here in about a quarter and a half

993
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: of action from Houston in Game seven.

994
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 5: I think Golden States come out with some energy and

995
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 5: they're looking to put their stamp on this game and

996
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 5: hope to have you know, Houston, young Houston team questioning

997
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 5: if they could you know, come back and sustain this

998
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 5: coming back.

999
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 3: Now, what I'm hoping.

1000
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 5: Doesn't happen is if Golden State doesn't shoot their lot

1001
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 5: in the first half and have dead legs coming back

1002
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 5: in the second.

1003
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we have seen we have seen some

1004
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 2: games where in the second half it did not look

1005
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 2: like they had a whole lot left, although most of

1006
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 2: the time this week it just it didn't look like

1007
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: they had a whole lot in the first half either.

1008
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 2: So again, this is the most active and sort of

1009
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 2: I think, yeah intuitive if you will, that they've looked

1010
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 2: so far this week. They look like they know what

1011
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,760
Speaker 2: they're doing. They look like they have an approach. Warriors

1012
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 2: by six right now, we will keep you up to date.

1013
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 2: I wonder about this, you and I pretty much loosely.

1014
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 2: At the beginning of the playoffs, there were five teams

1015
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 2: and they were the Vegas five. In other words, the

1016
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 2: teams that that Vegas believed were the odds on favorites

1017
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 2: to win. And we thought the NBA champion would come

1018
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 2: from those five. Yes, Boston, Cleveland, Okase, nobody would not

1019
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: have those right, and then we threw in the Lakers

1020
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 2: and the Warriors.

1021
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 4: So obviously.

1022
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: Remove the Lakers and then tell me has your has

1023
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: your list changed at all?

1024
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 5: Yes, so hit me with it. I like, I like

1025
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 5: like Denver's playing well, Okay, I think Denver finds a slot.

1026
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 4: Now.

1027
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 5: I don't know how sustainable this is, but Minnesota, boy.

1028
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,439
Speaker 2: Man, that's a good basketball team. That's a good basketball team.

1029
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 2: And I don't just say that because they beat the Lakers.

1030
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 5: And I think they found something out. So good friend

1031
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 5: of mine, Dale Demps, he's been there for quite some

1032
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 5: time and I used to always tell him even I

1033
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 5: believe he was in Utah when Rudy Gobert was in Utah,

1034
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 5: and so I would say, hey, nobody respects nobody respects

1035
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 5: Rudy on the pick and roll. He'll set a high

1036
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 5: screen and roll down the middle and no one, you

1037
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 5: guys won't even look at him. You guys won't even

1038
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 5: throw it down there. And so I would tell him

1039
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 5: just feed him whether he makes it or missing, like, no.

1040
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 3: We won't do this and do that.

1041
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 5: But what they did yes this past game is they

1042
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 5: were like, Okay, we're not going to let you guys

1043
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 5: just not guard him, and they put the pressure on

1044
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 5: the Lakers to try to figure something out. They didn't

1045
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 5: have enough size in there, and so they just dumped

1046
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 5: it to Rudy and Rudy stepped up. And I think

1047
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 5: what that's going to do is because that's an added

1048
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 5: boost of confidence for him. You can watch Rudy play

1049
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 5: and you can be like, oh, he's defeated, right, he

1050
00:58:59,120 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 5: looks defeated.

1051
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 4: Facial expression, guy, there's no doubt about.

1052
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 5: It, Like you can you can see it from the

1053
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 5: upper deck.

1054
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, yeah, I'm with you.

1055
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 5: And so it was. It is one of those situations

1056
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 5: where it's like I think they figured something out. I

1057
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 5: think there's a level of trust that has been gained.

1058
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 5: And if he becomes a twelve fifteen point, you know,

1059
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 5: all fifteen dangerous there are?

1060
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 2: They are a problem, so dangerous because you think about

1061
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 2: the three point shooting that surrounds the art from McDaniel's

1062
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,479
Speaker 2: to I mean, obviously Anthony Edwards start there, Devincenzo nas Reed,

1063
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: and then the size that you have inside the versatility

1064
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 2: of Julius Randall and if you add that into.

1065
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 4: Look, you know this.

1066
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 2: I said this all year long. They they were my

1067
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 2: I nicknamed them. They are that they should be better

1068
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 2: team in the NBA. Yes, And then I think I

1069
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 2: told you? Did I tell you this? A friend of

1070
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 2: mine is one of the radio voices for one of

1071
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: the Western Conference teams. I won't say which one, but

1072
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 2: he's a radio voice for one of the Western Conference

1073
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 2: teams and the playoffs haven't even started yet, and he

1074
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 2: blew my mind because I did not hear anybody talk

1075
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 2: like this at all. But he goes, Guys, he's talking

1076
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 2: to me and a whole group of friends. I'd be

1077
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:27,439
Speaker 2: shocked if the Western Conference finals were not Oklahoma City

1078
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 2: and Minnesota.

1079
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 4: And that was before it even started, and everyone went,

1080
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 4: what what did you say to me. But that's what

1081
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 4: he said. And then I watched that series and I

1082
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 4: went good.

1083
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 5: They looked like a different team. They looked like a

1084
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 5: different team than they were during the season. Yes, they

1085
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 5: looked like a different team that they had they were

1086
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 5: last year in the playoffs. They look like a team

1087
01:00:55,680 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 5: like you having Julius Randall, Yes, is a huge Like

1088
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 5: you want to talk about physicality, Well.

1089
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 4: He plays like I think everyone wishes call Anthony Townsend.

1090
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 3: Yes, right, yeah, like a Tasmanian devil.

1091
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 4: Yes, go in there, shoot it outside. Sometimes your lips.

1092
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 5: Your head, but he's gonna put the pressure on you.

1093
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 5: And I think all teams you need that bruiser, You

1094
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 5: need that guy who's going to impose his will on

1095
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:31,440

01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 9: And you know, guys, I gotta say this first steph

1107
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 9: Curry scoreless and they're up by ten.

1108
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 6: This since an NBA Playoff game seven.

1109
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're talking about Buddy Heeld has what thirteen points?

1110
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,919
Speaker 6: He is leading? Ever, Lord, Buddy, Yes, it's very good.

1111
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 5: Thank you.

1112
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 9: It's forty two to thirty one. Now Golden State up

1113
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 9: eleven under three minutes to go in the first half

1114
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 9: of this game seven to and the NBA Playoffs first round.

1115
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 9: Couple notes to pass along about Buddy held. He had

1116
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 9: that shot at the end of the first quarter, a

1117
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 9: made three pointer that was just inside the half court line,

1118
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 9: forty two feet away, and he drained it. In fact,

1119
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 9: in the play by play era, that's the longest made

1120
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 9: three in.

1121
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 5: Any game seven.

1122
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 9: When we talk about the play by play era, that's

1123
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 9: over twenty five years worth of NBA when they actually

1124
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 9: list as the game's going on, this guy at this

1125
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 9: time makes a block, this guy at this time makes

1126
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 9: a steal, and so forth, so they can actually say

1127
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 9: this with certainty for a game seven. It's been well

1128
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 9: over twenty five years since someone made a three from

1129
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 9: that far away and that's also a good sign. So

1130
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 9: is the fact, and you brought this out early that

1131
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 9: Draymond Green had a couple of early threes had eight

1132
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 9: points quickly in this game, while Steph Curry is still

1133
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 9: scoreless in this contest. Because Draymond Green in his five

1134
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 9: career game sevens averages seventeen points a game compared to

1135
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 9: eleven points a game in all his other playoff games,

1136
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 9: which is almost one hundred and sixty other playoff games.

1137
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 9: So the Golden State Warriors now up forty five thirty

1138
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 9: one late in the first half, off to a great

1139
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 9: beginning at Houston to end the first round winter Tonight

1140
01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 9: starts a conference semifinal against Minnesota on Tuesday. Curry by

1143
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 9: five assists, only one turnover in this game, but no

1144
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 9: points and they're up double digits at Houston. Indiana started

1176
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 9: game at Camden Yards in Baltimore Royals versus the Orioles.

1177
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 9: The two teams combined for some long ball four homers

1178
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 9: from Baltimore seven for the Kansas City Royals, which ties

1179
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 9: a franchise record for one game. Casey won it eleven

1180
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 9: to six. This was a back and forth game. The

1181
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 9: amazing thing we had ten solo in this one game today.

1182
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 9: According to the stat people at the Elia Sports Bureau,

1183
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 9: that ten solo shots ties a major League record, which

1184
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,439
Speaker 9: last occurred in a game at Wrigley three years ago.

1185
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 9: But the fact that it's Kansas City hitting the ball

1186
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 9: out of the park is notable. Well, first off out

1187
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 9: of this park, because I know they moved the fences

1188
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 9: in a little bit this year in Baltimore. But to

1189
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 9: have eleven total home runs in one game at Camden Yards.

1190
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 9: That matches the most hit in one game there in

1191
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 9: the history of that park, which opened in nineteen ninety two.

1192
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 9: As far as the Royals, well, let's just say they

1193
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 9: haven't been much of a power hitting club so far

1194
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 9: this year. In fact, going into the weekend, they were

1195
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 9: the worst in Major League Baseball as a team fifteen

1196
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 9: home runs. Compare that to cal Raleigh, the Mariners had

1197
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 9: hit twelve by himself so far this year. Update on

1198
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 9: the NBA playoff game at Houston, about a minute and

1199
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 9: a half to go in the first half, Warriors forty

1200
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 9: eight thirty four in Game seven over the Rockets.

1201
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 2: Well, and while Steve was talking, we had America's favorite

1202
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 2: repetitive act in NBA history, and that is a Draymond

1203
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: Green technical fouling. Okay, but what did you see? What

1204
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 2: did you see on that play? Talk to me, Talk

1205
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: to me, because my warrior glasses tell me the man

1206
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 2: and he was the man is fouled, right, yes, And

1207
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 2: if you're fouled like you're here, you're in the act

1208
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: of passing and your arms are going to fly forward. Now, yes,

1209
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 2: he Draymond's it at the very end he always which

1210
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 2: is like, yeah, but I mean, but that's okay.

1211
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. I'm not going to deny that, but Draymond.

1212
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 5: Just like flip over to somebody, like when you flipping

1213
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 5: over somebody back and then you you hammer slam your

1214
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 5: leg down on the back of a head. Yeah, well

1215
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 5: tell me.

1216
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 2: That we're not seeing that though everywhere in these playoffs

1217
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 2: and there's only one guy like, no, not like that.

1218
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 4: I mean, my man was fouled. They called it.

1219
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 3: It's so bad.

1220
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 4: You think that's fascinating? Yeah, I don't.

1221
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 2: Like of all, I've been watching almost like literally, I've

1222
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 2: been watching NBA playoffs round the clock. I mean, brother,

1223
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 2: this is everywhere, it is everywhere, and only one man

1224
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 2: has a technical and now six straight games.

1225
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 5: Yes, that's not by mistake, that's not that's not by happen.

1226
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 4: No, he's earned the reputation.

1227
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 5: He's earned.

1228
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 4: But let's see, now, I don't if that that's the

1229
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 4: question if if if.

1230
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler just did that, is that called Probably not.

1231
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's all I'm saying.

1232
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 5: But I don't think.

1233
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 2: I think he's earned the reputation. I don't think he's

1234
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 2: earned the calls not that one. Yes, plenty of the

1235
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 2: other ones, plenty of the other ones.

1236
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 4: That one.

1237
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 5: I Yeah, that's big shot. Nice stuff.

01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 4: Boy, he finally scored. That's exciting. Yeah, that's the old

1239
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 4: two for one.

1240
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 2: I pulled up with thirty three seconds to go from

1241
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 2: about seven feet from beyond the arc and uh and

1242
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:33,240

01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 5: for Thompson.

1250
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 4: Jalen Green, I feel like this team thinks that he's

1251
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 4: been on the table.

1252
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: Take them, not take him, take them, but yes, on

1253
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 2: the table. Yeah, definitely on the table. Well, this game,

1254
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 2: which is now at halftime, Warriors by twelve, Warriors by

1255
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 2: twelve at halftime, fifty one to thirty nine, I'm comfortable

1256
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 2: saying best half of basketball the Warriors have played in

1257
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 2: this series since the second half of Game three, which

1258
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: is the half where they played the game without Jimmy

1259
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 2: Butler at home and won the game and won the

1260
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 2: game with a late sort of second half fourth quarter push.

1261
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 2: Even though they won Game four, many would say that

1262
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 2: the Rockets outplayed him in that game. Warriors got away

1263
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 2: with one blown out in Game five, thoroughly outplayed in

1264
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 2: Game six.

1265
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 4: I think what we just saw was their best half

1266
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 4: of basketball in.

1267
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 3: A week, I would agree.

1268
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1269
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 5: And if they come out with that effort in the

1270
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 5: second half, this is gonna be a cake.

1271
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 4: WoT Oh, don't say that. That's not happening. Oh my bad.

1272
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 4: There's no way in all this this is gonna be

1273
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 4: a cake going to walk?

1274
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:18,600
Speaker 7: Do not?

1275
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 4: Are you? Are you mad?

1276
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 11: At what on earth?

1277
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: People are coming back from twenty seven points down in games?

1278
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 7: Now?

1279
01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 4: With the way these guys shoot three.

1280
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 2: Pointers, this thing's not over until somebody is up by

1281
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 2: twenty points with four seconds to go.

1282
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 3: I'm a Laker fan.

1283
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 2: I know you are, which means you shouldn't be a

1284
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 2: Rocket fan either. By the way, No, but I'm really

1285
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,719
Speaker 2: not a Golden State I know you're not, and that's fine.

1286
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 4: I know that. I believe me.

1287
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 2: I know the brands around the country that are only

1288
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 2: liked in their own time, right, Yes, and your team

1289
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: and my team are both two of them.

1290
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 3: No, no, no, we got we travel, We got all

1291
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:56,519

Speaker 5: Laker fans everywhere.

01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,839
Speaker 3: Same so the Warriors everywhere.

1294
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 2: They are probably among the two most hated franchises as well. Yes, yes,

Speaker 6: And what if Biggs tied it at three?

1319
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 2: Hey man, what do we say at the top of

1320
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 2: this show? There's nothing like a game seven and there

1321
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,839
Speaker 2: are two of them going on right now. And indeed

1322
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,640
Speaker 2: from Power ninety seven and Jets Radio, that was the

1323
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 2: call of the game being tied in the third period.

1324
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 2: They were actually down three to one to start the

1325
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 2: third period, made it three to two, and then with

1326
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 2: less than two seconds to go, they tie it up

1327
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 2: and sent it into overtime.

1328
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 4: Their Round one series three to three on games three,

1329
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 4: three in goals and now heading for.

1330
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 2: A golden goal of sorts, just for round one, but

1331
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 2: heading for overtime in game seven. That's crazy. I don't

1332
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 2: care what sport you're root for. That's pretty exciting. That

1333
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 2: is exciting. Oh that's pretty good. One point six seconds

1334
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:27,560
Speaker 2: to go? Good lord, good lord, we're a lot in

1335
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,839
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports radio studios. That's it from Salama Mark Willard.

1336
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,560
Speaker 2: That's me, uh taking a deep breath. It is halftime

1337
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 2: and the Warriors lead the Rockets by twelve. Their defense

1338
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 2: has been fantastic in that first half. Aphrom. It's gonna

1339
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 2: need to be the same though. If they're gonna hold on,

1340
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 2: they're gonna keep it. Yeah, it's uh. I'm excited.

1341
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 5: I'm excited for you because if it was the other

1342
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,639
Speaker 5: way around, I'd be getting a different you right now.

1343
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 4: You know what, Can I tell you a quick story.

1344
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 2: I've done this before with much higher stakes and it

1345
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:10,640
Speaker 2: did not It did not go well, and I handled it.

1346
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 2: I think it was Brian Know that I was hosting

1347
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:18,879
Speaker 2: with if I remember correctly, and his last name was Prophetic.

1348
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 4: Because were the Warriors gonna win? No, they weren't. Game

1349
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 4: seven NBA Finals after a three to one.

1350
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 2: Lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers, home game for the Warriors

1351
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 2: on Father's Day, that all unfolded while I was on

1352
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,600
Speaker 2: the air. We were sitting there watching both teams go

1353
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 2: back and forth, clank to clank, clank, like just the

1354
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: gravity of the moment overtaking everyone. And then if memory serves,

1355
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 2: maybe forty some seconds left to go when Kyrie Irving

1356
01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 2: hit the shot. Then ended up being the show that

1357
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 2: won the championship, and I had to just sit there

1358
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 2: and watch it and then like talk like.

1359
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 4: Talk through it.

1360
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 2: Watch your team lose a championship and just yeah, so

1361
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 2: you know that good shot by Kyrie. I mean I

1362
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 2: was dying inside. So anyway, I sort of have a

1363
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 2: sense that this one probably not gonna end while we're

1364
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 2: still on, probably not probably gonna bleed over our time together.

1365
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 4: But I'm a big boy. I can handle.

1366
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 2: I'll never forget because I got home from work just

1367
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:44,000
Speaker 2: you know, dejected as all can be, and at that time,

1368
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,799
Speaker 2: because I think that was what twenty seventeen, maybe yeah, sixteen,

1369
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,759
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, right, so my youngest son, who is actually

1370
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 2: sitting next to me right now as we speak, was

1371
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 2: only three years old.

1372
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 4: Oh wow, And so got home it's Father's Day and

1373
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 4: all the kids are just in the bath.

1374
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,560
Speaker 5: Hi Daddy, are you okay? And it's just you're like,

1375
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 5: all right, whatever, I don't I don't play for him,

1376
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 5: right like, I mean, this.

1377
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 4: It's a sporting event.

1378
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 2: The last thing I want to do is come home

1379
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 2: start huncking things off the wall while the kids.

1380
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 5: The Father's Day yay.

1381
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 2: So anyway, exactly, so it'll never get any worse or

1382
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 2: harder than that.

1383
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 4: So I can do that. Well, then we can do this.

1384
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 4: We can do this.

1385
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 2: But but anyway, you added Minnesota to your championship possibilities,

1386
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 2: I agree with you.

1387
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 4: Have you removed anyone other than the Lakers who've been eliminated?

1388
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 5: No, not necessarily.

1389
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 4: You still feel like, okay, okay, see you can win.

1390
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they were so dominant. Yup, they were

1391
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 5: so dominant. But I'm like, I need to see them

1392
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 5: play against somebody else to see if what.

1393
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 4: That was no doubt?

1394
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 2: Right, Like, yeah, you're almost like I got to be

1395
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 2: convinced that Okac hasn't already won this, right.

1396
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 5: I'm looking like that's they remind me of the Lakers

1397
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 5: from Shaq and Kobe when they just steamrolled the playoffs

1398
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 5: and lost one game, one game against overtime game I believe,

1399
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 5: game one of the finals, and then went on and

1400
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 5: just abused them. But that's how they were steamrolling everyone.

1401
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 5: I mean it wasn't even close.

1402
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Katie's Warriors did did the same one

1403
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 2: time with only the one playoff loss. I don't think

1404
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 2: this is that team I and and you know, but

1405
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 2: I do think they're going to handle Denver. I don't

1406
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 2: think it'll be a sweep, but I do think, you know, Denver,

1407
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a good series. But like good Lord,

1408
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 2: the rest disparity is out of control with the Nuggets

1409
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:07,680
Speaker 2: having to have go seven games while okayse has just

1410
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 2: been sitting there twiddling their thumbs. So I think that's

1411
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 2: a big advantage for for Oklahoma City and h And

1412
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 2: I also just think they're they're a better basketball team. Cleveland, Boston. Okay,

1413
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 2: you've added Minnesota. Are the Warriors still on your list?

1414
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 3: Yes?

1415
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 2: Were they before the show? Before they took a twelve

1416
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 2: point lead at halftime?

1417
01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 8: No?

1418
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 4: Right, so they left, but now they're back.

1419
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 5: Okay.

1420
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, Man, I like, even if they win tonight, Dude,

1421
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 2: in forty eight hours, they got to start at Minnesota

1422
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 2: thirty seven years old.

1423
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1424
01:19:56,760 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 5: Man is putting together a hit list. He is, and

1425
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 5: the Warrior all of the generational greats, they.

1426
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 4: Are high on that list. There's no doubt.

1427
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 2: All right, Uh coming up next, you gotta hear ha

1428
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,799
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook describes himself.

1429
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1430
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 2: Indeed, we are live in the Fox Sports Radio studios

1431
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 2: heading into our number three little boost for the Rockets,

1432
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 2: a little quick run to start off the second half

1433
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,040
Speaker 2: of this basketball game. Time out on the floor with

1434
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 2: eight and a half to go in the third and

1435
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 2: the Warriors lead by nine, Tensions are high, as somebody

1436
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 2: it's gonna get hit. Yes, as we go in to

1437
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of this basketball game, I'm already thankful

1438
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 2: for this, Like it looks like tonight's game is gonna

1439
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 2: give us what last night's game did not between the

1440
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:56,720
Speaker 2: Nuggets and the Clippers. And maybe as a Laker fan,

1441
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 2: you enjoyed every minute of that joy watching your little

1442
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 2: brothers stay under your thumb.

1443
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 4: And I understand that. Yeah, but come on, man, give

1444
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,560
Speaker 4: me some That series was so entertaining.

1445
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,839
Speaker 3: And about it. You know, I knew that series was going.

1446
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 2: I mean right, you're right on that. I thought the

1447
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 2: Clippers gonna win that series. I really did well. If

1448
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 2: you now go back to Game four, Ephraim okay, and

1449
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 2: we're tied with literally zero point zero one seconds left

1450
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 2: to go on the clock. If if that dunk from

1451
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:41,599
Speaker 2: Aaron Gordon is a split second second later, I think

1452
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 2: the Clippers win the series literally because they had all

1453
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 2: the momentum in the world going into what would have

1454
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 2: been overtime in that game, and I know where you're

1455
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 2: gonna go if and fifth and yeah, whateppen. No, I

1456
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 2: get it, and you're and you're not, and you're not

1457
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 2: wrong on that. But I would have expected a little

1458
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 2: bit more of a dramatic finish to the way that

1459
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 2: series went.

1460
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 4: That's all.

1461
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:12,720
Speaker 5: They did what the Clippers do. They didn't show up. Well,

1462
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 5: they didn't show up. They did what James Harden does.

1463
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 5: He didn't show up.

1464
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 2: They did what James Harden does. And you know, I

1465
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 2: don't I don't mean that as a shot at at

1466
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 2: his clutch gene as much as why not why not? Well,

1467
01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 2: because I think it's I think it's deeper than that.

1468
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that that's not part of it.

1469
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 2: You know, James Harden was part of a Rockets team

1470
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 2: that years ago had the Warriors on their floor, the

1471
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 2: Rockets floor for a Game seven, and they missed like

1472
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 2: four thousand and three point row. It was just unbelievable

1473
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: and lost that basketball game. And so there's that part

1474
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 2: of his history. There's also you know, his comments from

1475
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 2: last week, if it weren't for Steph Curry.

1476
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 4: I don't want to ring by now. I don't know.

1477
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 2: Like I was watching an interview earlier today with Kobe

1478
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 2: Bryant talking about and this was years ago, how impressed

1479
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 2: he is with what James can do dot dot dot

1480
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 2: the fact that that style will never win a championship. Yeah,

1481
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 2: because he said, when you just keep someone the ball

1482
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 2: at the top of the circle and let them handle

1483
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 2: the ball and dominate everything that's going to happen around him,

1484
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 2: whether it's shoot, drive, penetrate and kick, whatever it is.

1485
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 2: When you do that, he said in the playoffs, it's

1486
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,719
Speaker 2: the easiest way for the defense to just keep you right.

1487
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 4: There in front of him.

1488
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:40,640
Speaker 5: That's it.

1489
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 4: And he says it'll never work, It's never ever going

1490
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 4: to win a championship.

1491
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 5: Ring And it looks like that's why Mike D'Antoni, in

1492
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:54,600
Speaker 5: my opinion, was you know one of those coaches that

1493
01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, bru, come on, we gonna outscore him, no

1494
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 5: defense ever ever, right, small ball, no rebounding, no defense,

1495
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 5: just shoot. Well, that's never won a championship. And so

1496
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 5: I look, I'm I was shocked. The James Harden shot

1497
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:21,679
Speaker 5: eight times, scored seven points in thirty five minutes.

1498
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 4: Right.

1499
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 3: I was shocked, but not surprised.

1500
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 4: It usually works the other way around. But I got you,

1501
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:36,640
Speaker 4: I got you, I I you know, I hear what

1502
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 4: you're saying.

1503
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:42,080
Speaker 5: And now they, you know, packed that thing up and

1504
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 5: going home. Indeed going home. Indeed they do what Clippers do.

1505
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 4: Yep. Absolutely, So it's just another brick on the wall there.

1506
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 2: But before we leave that series, I wanted to talk

1507
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 2: about not just the Denver Nuggets, but but one specific

1508
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 2: nugget if I may for a moment, and you and

1509
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 2: I love to talk about him, is one of our favorites.

1510
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 2: And for the first time I can ever remember, he

1511
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 2: decided to talk about himself kind of the way the

1512
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 2: rest of us often talk about him.

1513
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 4: So after the game, Russell Westbrook, Russell.

1514
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 2: Westbrook, he had this to say about the experience of

1515
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 2: watching Russell Westbrook.

1516
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 11: And I understand the game. I understand what's going on.

1517
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 11: So I am thinking and I also not I just

1518
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 11: just a force, man. I think it's you know, my

1519
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 11: ability to be able to be a force of nature

1520
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 11: on the floor is what I pride myself on. So

1521
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 11: whatever that looks like, it may be a turnover and

1522
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 11: maybe a misshot, but it may be a steal, maybe

1523
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 11: a dunk, maybe a mystery, maybe a may three. It's

1524
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 11: gonna be all of that. It's gonna be everything. So

1525
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:09,840
Speaker 11: you just take it, take it how it comes, and

1526
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 11: whatever happens, you go with it.

1527
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 5: And I've always been.

1528
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 3: Like that, okad that frightening.

1529
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has played for your favorite teams.

1530
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 5: How does that grab you five petrified?

1531
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 9: Why?

1532
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 5: Because he's literally just absolved himself of any responsibility.

1533
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 3: Hey, it's gonna be what it's gonna be. Maybe a turnover?

1534
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 5: Why why? Why?

1535
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 4: Why?

1536
01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 5: Now you can't control if you make or miss every shot,

1537
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 5: but you can't control the turnovers. Well, I can play

1538
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 5: a whole basketball game and not turn the ball over.

1539
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 5: But if you're like, hey, this just comes with me,

1540
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 5: that is crazy to me.

1541
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 9: That's like me saying, you know, I'll be late to

1542
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 9: work sometimes, sometimes I'll be on time something it's I'll

1543
01:26:58,320 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 9: be an hour late.

1544
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 5: But when I get here, man.

1545
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 2: Well, but there's also a piece of it that I

1546
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 2: find to be very inaccurate. I'm sorry, you don't get

1547
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 2: to call yourself a smart basketball.

1548
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 3: Right exact saying that, if the next.

1549
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 4: Sentence you're like, I'm all over the map.

1550
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, Russ, we've watched, you watched, We've

1551
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 2: watched some of the decisions that you make in real

1552
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 2: time and in slow time. I mean some of the

1553
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 2: stuff we've just seen in the last three weeks. The

1554
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 2: lead the ball standing by yourself.

1555
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 5: He tried to give a game away this series, and then.

1556
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 4: You just take off like a bat out of hell

1557
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 4: and fly at the hoop to.

1558
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 5: Throw up a brick underneath the rim, which is literally.

1559
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 2: The only thing you don't do in that situation. So

1560
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 2: to come out of that and be like, look, I'm

1561
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 2: a smart player, well not all the time, not the

1562
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,879
Speaker 2: case you're not. I don't even like, Yes, turnovers, everybody

1563
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 2: turns the ball over. Stephen Draymond have had the disease

1564
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 2: in this series, So I don't even know if you

1565
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 2: can fully control turnovers. There's sometimes the other teams can

1566
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 2: steal the ball. I get it, but dude, you can't.

1567
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 2: You can't refer to yourself as a smart basketball player

1568
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 2: and then continually make just cardinalsin type decisions on the

1569
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 2: basketball court.

1570
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,760
Speaker 5: So hard to watch, so hard to like. It used

1571
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 5: to drive me so crazy. I used to be like,

1572
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 5: I can't take you and look, I love russ I

1573
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 5: love what he's done. Do you in terms of the

1574
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:51,600
Speaker 5: type of player he is and his energy? Love it.

1575
01:28:54,439 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 5: When energy is then harnessed, then it's volatile, it's dangers

1576
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:07,679
Speaker 5: and so that's what it is. It's grabbed the rebound.

1577
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:11,040
Speaker 5: You're up by five, is twenty seconds left. You sprint

1578
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 5: down one on four and give up the ball, turn

1579
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 5: it over and they come down to shoot a three.

1580
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 5: Now you're only up by two? What Yeah, why did

1581
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 5: that even have to happen? Because that's what you get.

1582
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:31,679
Speaker 5: That's what you get.

1583
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 2: That's right, you get what you get, the whole whole package,

1584
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:35,919
Speaker 2: the whole experience.

1585
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, you don't. You don't have to.

1586
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:42,600
Speaker 4: You don't have to.

1587
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of wild experiences and all over

1588
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 2: the map, I absolutely wanted to get your thought on

1589
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:57,600
Speaker 2: Tyre's Halliburton's dad. And I know that this kind of

1590
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 2: this played out for us last week and now we've

1591
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 2: had some time to kind of work through it a

1592
01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 2: little bit more, and specifically for me, what's kind of

1593
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,920
Speaker 2: taking this story to the next level is not even

1594
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 2: the act. The act is ridiculous enough in itself, and

1595
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 2: those of you who don't know. He came out when

1596
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 2: the Pacers eliminated the Bucks, and he brought a big

1597
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 2: towel that had Halliburton's face on it and he waved

1598
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:25,640
Speaker 2: it in Yannis's face and apparently, like profanely it was

1599
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 2: just trash talking.

1600
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 4: Janis attended compo, which is hilarious.

1601
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:36,800
Speaker 2: But anyway, beyond that there there is what has happened next,

1602
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:42,719
Speaker 2: which is that Tyresee has his dad has basically said

1603
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 2: like not going to Pacers games anymore, at least for

1604
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 2: the time being. And I thought to myself, you know

1605
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 2: your parent, I'm a parent. I like, I don't think

1606
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 2: the act itself is the worse. Obviously, it's not the

1607
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:04,760
Speaker 2: worst thing I've ever seen a dad do. But good lord,

1608
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 2: if my son were an NBA All Star and I

1609
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 2: behaved in such a way where I had to agree

1610
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 2: to not even go watch him play anymore, I can't

1611
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 2: think of anything that would be more embarrassing than.

1612
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 5: That, completely embarrassing, Like I cannot.

1613
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 4: Can you imagine you're not allowed to go watch your.

1614
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 2: NBA All Star, grown ass man, You're not allowed to

1615
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,719
Speaker 2: go watch him play because of you're an idiot?

1616
01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 4: Because like I would be so embarrassed.

1617
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,759
Speaker 3: It's really bad and the behavior is just out of control.

1618
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:48,200
Speaker 3: That's not it.

1619
01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 5: It's not about you, man, It's not about you at all.

1620
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:55,960
Speaker 5: And for you to make it about you, that's the

1621
01:31:56,080 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 5: problem I have, yep. Right, Like when I'm coaching my

1622
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:07,200
Speaker 5: son and we win a big game of championship, we

1623
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:13,160
Speaker 5: don't rub it in our opponents face and they played,

1624
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,200
Speaker 5: and me as a father and as a coach, I

1625
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 5: don't go to their coach or to their kids and

1626
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 5: tell them how much better we are of them. And

1627
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 5: that's why we don't. I don't teach that. I don't

1628
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 5: coach that on any level.

1629
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 4: Right.

1630
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:32,280
Speaker 3: The fact that you won is all you need to say.

1631
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 5: And if your family members can't understand that, then yeah,

1632
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:40,880
Speaker 5: they need to stay at home because it's embarrassing.

1633
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 3: Bruh.

1634
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 5: It's like, what are you doing? But you don't shoot

1635
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:48,599
Speaker 5: a jumper? What are you doing?

1636
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 4: Like? You know, how would you feel?

1637
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 2: And it happened today, by the way, beautiful win by

1638
01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 2: the Pacers in Cleveland, and mister Halliburton had to watch

1639
01:32:58,439 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 2: on TV.

1640
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know how I would feel? If you

1641
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 4: just sat there on your.

1642
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 5: Couch, you would literally be saying like I'm an idiot.

1643
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 5: I'm just what am I doing? Or you can double

1644
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:15,439
Speaker 5: down is like, that's not fair and you can be

1645
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 5: that guy? Oh god, yeah, how about that? You can

1646
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 5: be that guy?

1647
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 4: You know who might be that guy?

1648
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 2: You and I have had so many talks these last

1649
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 2: sixty nine months about wide receivers in the NFL, and

1650
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 2: that guy might be Malik Neighbors. Superstar Young coming off

1651
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 2: his rookie year with the New York Giants, looks like

1652
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 2: he is all that. However, he took the diva receiver

1653
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 2: conversation in a little bit of a new direction.

1654
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 4: This week.

01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh turned into a basketball game.

1671
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 4: Oh yes, Oh yes it has. I had no doubt.

1672
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 4: I had no doubt that it was gonna be tight

1673
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:54,759
Speaker 4: down the stretch.

1674
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 2: While we're keeping you up to date on that one,

1675
01:34:58,120 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 2: definitely wanted to uh run this around a little bit

1676
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 2: so maleague neighbors. Part of what was being discussed with

1677
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:16,000
Speaker 2: neighbors was actually the idea of certain Giants players wanting

1678
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 2: numbers of retired greats to be unretired so that they

1679
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 2: could wear them. And in the process of the whole thing,

1680
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 2: Malik got to the point where he discussed the idea

1681
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 2: of why wide receivers complain so much, which is an

1682
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 2: amazing topic and I love it. At least he was

1683
01:35:41,280 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 2: willing to go out there and speak on it. Take

1684
01:35:43,640 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 2: a listen to what neighbors had to say.

1685
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 5: We don't like not getting the ball.

1686
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:50,000
Speaker 10: We done ran about one hundred routes in the week.

1687
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 10: We didn't watch the film on the dB. We didn't

1688
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 10: learn the plays that we want to call. These coaches

1689
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 10: is telling us we're gonna call this on this down.

1690
01:35:57,680 --> 01:35:59,839
Speaker 10: We're gonna call this when we get to this formation.

1691
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 10: You're gonna score off this play. When you tell a

1692
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 10: receiver he's gonna get about seven catches a game, we

1693
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 10: calculating that out here, that's about about one hundred yards.

1694
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 5: I need that for my thousand yards.

1695
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 4: I need that to be in a Pro Bowl.

1696
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 5: I need that to get in a bracket so I

1697
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 5: can get paid.

1698
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,920
Speaker 10: You told me I was gonna get the ball. I'm

1699
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 10: getting open, and I'm not getting that pill.

1700
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 3: We got a problem.

1701
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 5: That's why I save receivers a devas. Yeah, like we're

1702
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:22,759
Speaker 5: definitely a diva.

1703
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 4: Okay, your reaction.

1704
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:29,960
Speaker 6: By the way, guys on Carmelo Anthony's podcast.

1705
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:32,640
Speaker 4: On Carmelo's Okay, thank you for that. All right?

1706
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 2: He from mister offensive line who never gets to touch

1707
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 2: the ball at all but gets hit fifty seven thousand

1708
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 2: times more than a wide receiver.

1709
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:42,080
Speaker 4: Please weigh in.

1710
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 5: It was cringe worthy to listen to it. That's a

1711
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,639
Speaker 5: bad look. Hmm.

1712
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:02,320
Speaker 2: What's the most There's one one line that stood out

1713
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 2: the most. But go ahead, yeah, go ahead.

1714
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,560
Speaker 5: The first thing that comes to mind is that this

1715
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 5: young man doesn't understand most young players don't not most

1716
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:24,600
Speaker 5: some just what competition, team, uh, sacrifice, what any of

1717
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 5: that means. Because we live in a me society, a

1718
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 5: followers society. It's me look at me, no different in sport.

1719
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 5: No different in sport to me society. And he's talking

1720
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 5: about him, not that his team was god awful last

1721
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 5: year and what they knew need to do to be better.

1722
01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 5: He didn't say, you know, I think if we really

1723
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 5: solidify our running game, and you know, that'll open up

1724
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 5: the field for me to go out there and do

1725
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 5: my work. Now, I'll take pride in what I do,

1726
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,519
Speaker 5: and I think I'm one of the best, or I

1727
01:38:19,560 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 5: could be one of the best to do this. But

1728
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 5: you know, it's about the team. It's about to you know,

1729
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 5: you can go for a thousand yards and never make

1730
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 5: the playoffs. You can go to the Pro Bowl and

1731
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:36,439
Speaker 5: never make the playoffs. You can do all those things

1732
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:41,599
Speaker 5: and never have a winning season. And he was speaking

1733
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 5: like that would be okay. So that's what I took

1734
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 5: from that. It's not about the success of the team.

1735
01:38:49,439 --> 01:38:54,760
Speaker 5: He might as well just go be a boxer. If

1736
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:56,640
Speaker 5: that's the case. Just go be a boxer and you

1737
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 5: only got to worry about you.

1738
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 2: Well, okay, there's so many things actually in that short

1739
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 2: bit of commentary that for me would be a red

1740
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 2: flag if I were if I were a teammate of Maliks,

1741
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 2: if I were in Malik's employer, when he.

1742
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 4: Talks about how.

1743
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:22,160
Speaker 2: The coaching staff puts in a game plan and tells

1744
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:26,559
Speaker 2: you how many balls you're going to get, and then

1745
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 2: you process that as gospel, like this is going to happen,

1746
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 2: that's done, that's already gonna happen. To me, as if

1747
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:40,600
Speaker 2: there are millionaires trying to chase everyone out there and.

1748
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 5: Eat them in the middle of these games.

1749
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:50,600
Speaker 4: I mean, what kind of absolute mental screwlers is that.

1750
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,759
Speaker 4: That's a crazy, crazy comment.

1751
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he has no concept of team or are It's

1752
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 5: just it just seems like it's not a very intelligent answer.

1753
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 5: And I'll leave it at that. It's not very intelligent.

1754
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 4: No, No, it more than didn't. It more than seemed

1755
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:11,600
Speaker 4: like that.

1756
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:15,560
Speaker 2: It's it's like and then to attach to immediately be

1757
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 2: like that's dollars and that's pro ball, and that's I

1758
01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 2: just and again, I've never been a wide receiver. Yes,

1759
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure, Molik, it's exhausting. I'm sure you gotta run

1760
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 2: all those those.

1761
01:40:28,479 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 5: Routes because that's what you get paid for.

1762
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:37,760
Speaker 2: Right, there's nobody on the field that isn't banging their

1763
01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,240
Speaker 2: head against the wall. That's like an offensive line. If

1764
01:40:40,240 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 2: I were to say, you know what I mean, every

1765
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:53,800
Speaker 2: play I got a block, and I mean, yeah, the

1766
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:58,240
Speaker 2: quarterback has to throw the ball, But what about me?

1767
01:40:59,520 --> 01:40:59,640
Speaker 5: Right?

1768
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 4: What? Okay?

1769
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:02,800
Speaker 7: Was he?

1770
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 4: Can we hear it again? Is it possible that he

1771
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:07,679
Speaker 4: was kind of tongue in cheek.

1772
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 3: No, that's not tongue in cheek.

1773
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,560
Speaker 2: Let's hear it again, on on on Mellow's problem. The

1774
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:14,639
Speaker 2: leak neighbors New York Giants.

1775
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:15,680
Speaker 5: We don't like not.

1776
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 3: Getting the ball.

1777
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 10: We didn't ran about one hundred routes in the week.

1778
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:21,760
Speaker 10: We didn't watch the film on the dB. We didn't

1779
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 10: learn the players that we want to call. These coaches

1780
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:26,599
Speaker 10: is telling us we're gonna call this on this down.

1781
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,839
Speaker 10: We're gonna call this when we get to this formation.

1782
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 10: You're gonna score off this play. When you tell a

1783
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:34,680
Speaker 10: receiver he's gonna get about seven catches a game. We

1784
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 10: calculating that out here that's about about one hundred yards.

1785
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:38,840
Speaker 10: I need that for my thousand yards.

1786
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:40,240
Speaker 4: I need that to be in the Pro Bowl.

1787
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:41,680
Speaker 10: I need that to get in a bracket to where

1788
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:43,679
Speaker 10: I can get paid. You told me I was gonna

1789
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:46,599
Speaker 10: get the ball. I'm getting open, and I'm not getting

1790
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 10: that pill.

1791
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 4: We got a problem.

1794
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 3: Oh why didn't I throw you the ball?

1795
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 5: Because the left tackle got beat and there's miles get

1796
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 5: hanging on my neck.

1797

Speaker 4: There you go, there's a two hundred and eighty pound

1798
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 4: man on my head.

01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:08,640
Speaker 5: Sorry, diva, I didn't get you the ball because I

1800
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 5: was running for my life back here.

1801
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 2: And he's like, if you tell me I'm gonna get

1802
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,639
Speaker 2: the ball and I don't, then we got a problem.

1803
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 4: Idiot.

1804
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:17,560

1805
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 5: man out his name, but go ahead, stupid, stupid does

1809
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:37,679
Speaker 2: on my field, I'm sure there are plenty of wide

1810
01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:40,560
Speaker 2: receivers just nodding their head like yep, that's what it's like,

1811
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 2: but goodness, gracious, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4: Like you know who?

1813
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:49,639
Speaker 2: You know what Malik should do. I got an idea

1814
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 2: he should spend a night shadowing.

1815
01:42:56,560 --> 01:43:00,240
Speaker 8: Steve de Seger. Why not, and then you could see

1816
01:43:00,280 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 8: what a team player is all about.

1817
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 9: See, I'll say thank you and move on.

Speaker 9: end the Dodgers seven game winning streak. Austin Riley hit

1862
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 9: two two run homers the loss to starter Dustin May.

1863
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 9: At Saint Louis, the Cardinal swept a double header from

1864
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 9: the Mets six to five and five to four. They

1865
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 9: played two after a rainout on Saturday, Texas eight one

1866
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 9: winners against Seattle. Jacob de Grom pitch five innings for

1867
01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 9: the victory. San Francisco nine three over Colorado Logan Webb

1868
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 9: the win. The Rockies record six and twenty eight this year.

1869
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:41,519
Speaker 6: They have two road wins.

1870
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 9: We're already into May. They are two and seventeen on

1871
01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:49,679
Speaker 9: the road. As for the golf, I mentioned, Scottie Scheffler

1872
01:45:49,800 --> 01:45:52,240
Speaker 9: ranked number one in the world, winning again and he

1873
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 9: captured his home area event. The Byron Nelson. Meanwhile, Live

1874
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 9: Golf was in South Korea with Bryson De'shamba as the

1875
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:03,160
Speaker 9: chant by two strokes. LPGA winner was Pardon Hey Ron

1876
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:08,080
Speaker 9: Rue in Utah. Like most LPGA winners, nobody's heard of them,

1877
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:10,680
Speaker 9: but at least they were playing in Utah, where that

1878
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,120
Speaker 9: tour had not played in over sixty years. She won

1879
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 9: it wire to wire this season. She's now the LPGA's

1880
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:19,720
Speaker 9: tenth different winner in ten tournaments. Their purse is said

1881
01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:21,879
Speaker 9: to be one of the largest among the non majors.

1882
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 9: They have three million total perse the winners check three

1883
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:28,600
Speaker 9: hundred thousand dollars. Second place tie got you close to

1884
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,759
Speaker 9: two hundred thousand dollars. But for the PGA event, Scotty

1885
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 9: Scheffler takes home about one point eight million dollars for

1886
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,639
Speaker 9: his win today and a second place check is worth

1887
01:46:39,920 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 9: just over one million dollars. Scheffler is the reigning Player

1888
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 9: of the Year. This is his first trophy of this year,

1889
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 9: but it's his six top ten finish of the season,

1890
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:53,360
Speaker 9: most on tour, and Rory McElroy has yet to overtake

1891
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 9: him for that number one spot in the World golf rankings. Meanwhile,

1892
01:46:57,160 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 9: Live golf was in Korea for the first time at

1893
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 9: the Jack Nicholas Golf cub This is the tenth different

1894
01:47:03,360 --> 01:47:07,160
Speaker 9: country that has hosted a live golf event. Bryson Deshambo

1895
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,639
Speaker 9: had a birdie on seventeen, ultimately won by two shots

1896
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:14,040
Speaker 9: over Charles Howell. The third every Live Golf event has

1897
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:17,360
Speaker 9: a total purse of Let's see, LPGA was a three

1898
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:22,599
Speaker 9: million perse twenty million dollar perse for live golf. Every tournament,

1899
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:27,759
Speaker 9: every winner gets four million dollars for three days of golf.

1900
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 9: And now Live Golf's going to take a full month

1901
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 9: off before they return to an event in DC, the

1902
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 9: PGA Championships in a couple week at a couple weeks

1903
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 9: at Quail Hollow in North Carolina. Eleven live golfers will

1904
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 9: be competing there. And let's not forget Bryson Deshambo won

1905
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 9: the team competition as well. His crushers, that's their nickname.

1906
01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 9: We're a combined twenty under par today, twelve shots better

1907
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 9: than any other force him in this final round, so

1908
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 9: they wound up with an easy victory over the three days.

1909
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:02,600
Speaker 9: So they get to split three million dollars there in

1910
01:48:02,720 --> 01:48:08,879
Speaker 9: addition to his individual four million dollar Winnings updating the Warriors.

1911
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 9: They're up seventy five sixty two in Houston early in

1912
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:14,599
Speaker 9: the fourth game, seven to and the NBA's first round.

1913
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:16,160
Speaker 4: Back to you, good lord, Steve.

1914
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 2: Awesome stuff tonight, as always appreciated so much. We are

1915
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 2: back in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1916
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:25,719
Speaker 4: Mark Willard eight.

1917
01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:29,719
Speaker 2: From salam A little five nothing Curry flurry to start

1918
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Boy, I don't know what a men

1919
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 2: Thompson did on that last play.

1920
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 4: Is he hurt?

1921
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:36,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1922
01:48:36,640 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 4: Something went wrong there because he's been so brilliant.

1923
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 2: On both ends of the floor, and he just sort

1924
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 2: of gave up on defending Curry and then yeah, something

1925
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 2: cramped up on him and Curry just took one step

1926
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:53,879
Speaker 2: to the right and had a wide open three. Houston

1927
01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:55,640
Speaker 2: had gotten this all the way down to three or

1928
01:48:55,680 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 2: four points, and the Warriors have it back up to thirteen.

1929
01:48:58,160 --> 01:49:01,599
Speaker 3: What do you see see a veteran team taken over?

1930
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 5: I see a team who struggles to score in the

1931
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,080
Speaker 5: half court being forced to try to score in the

1932
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:11,760
Speaker 5: half court. And and that's just what it was. That

1933
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:15,240
Speaker 5: that was my assessment at the beginning of this series. Uh,

1934
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:18,879
Speaker 5: and you the fact of the matter is the Warriors

1935
01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 5: are built for games like this. They are Steph Curry's

1936
01:49:22,040 --> 01:49:25,800
Speaker 5: built for this, Draybond Green's built for this. We don't

1937
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:29,800
Speaker 5: know if the Houston Rockets are as simple as that.

1938
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:33,559
Speaker 5: We don't know if they're built for this? Are they?

1939
01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 4: I mean, even if they are, probably.

1940
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 5: Not, I mean having led, like probably led yet and

1941
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 5: they're at home.

1942
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:47,240
Speaker 4: I mean, look the ball, it's game seven.

1943
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 2: Ball a little heavier right, yes, heavier right, and you

1944
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 2: gotta play through more and you gotta you know, just everything.

1945
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 2: I gotta imagine it to be very difficult.

1946
01:49:57,640 --> 01:49:57,920
Speaker 4: I'm in.

1947
01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 2: Thompson is on the bench try to stimulate his calf,

1948
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,560
Speaker 2: and this is a problem for Houston because he was

1949
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 2: literally involved in almost every point they scored in the

1950
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 2: third quarter. He's been their best player and it's it's

1951
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:15,639
Speaker 2: not even close. So we'll see, we'll see if he's

1952
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 2: able to get himself back into the game. But there's

1953
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 2: only you know, it's not many minutes left in this one. Yep, yep, yep,

1954
01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 2: so anyway, long way to go, absolutely long way to

1955
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:33,840
Speaker 2: go in this one, but it is it is getting

1956
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:38,680
Speaker 2: very very late, and the Warriors threatening to make this

1957
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:42,680
Speaker 2: a wonderful day for the road teams in the in

1958
01:50:42,760 --> 01:50:45,280
Speaker 2: the NBA. I'm not sure how many people had the

1959
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:51,960
Speaker 2: the Pacers Warriors parlay. But but you know, again, long

1960
01:50:52,040 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 2: way to go. Houston's got it down to nine. But

1961
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 2: but the Warriors have definitely been the aggressor in this

1962
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:00,599
Speaker 2: one so far.

1963
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we thought they would, did we.

1964
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:12,320
Speaker 5: I thought that they would come out with that championship pedigree,

1965
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 5: uh huh, and which we saw in the first half.

1966
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 5: And you got to remember at halftime, I said, I

1967
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 5: want to see if they can sustain it, and they

1968
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 5: have so far, so good. Yeah, Houston went on a

1969
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 5: little run and they just snapped back into it.

1970
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:32,799
Speaker 3: So it's good. It's gonna be a good finish.

1971
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:33,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

1972
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 5: Houston's got it down under ten now, so it's it's

1973
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:39,599
Speaker 5: it's gonna be good. Uh.

1974
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:46,960
Speaker 2: The conference semifinals need one more contestant. Who will it be?

1975
01:51:47,160 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 2: Will it be the Golden State Warriors? Will it be

1976
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 2: the Houston Rockets. This one's coming down the stretch and

1977
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 2: so are we back with some final thoughts coming up

1978
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,559
Speaker 2: with it? From Salama, Mark Willard, this is Fox Sports Radio.

1979
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 4: These are the Fox Sports Radio studios. Mark Wellardy from.

1980
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:10,680
Speaker 2: Salam, we are heading to the back half of the

1981
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 2: fourth quarter Game seven in Houston Warriors maintaining their lead,

1982
01:52:16,280 --> 01:52:20,599
Speaker 2: their advantage. But I want to play a little game

1983
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:23,200
Speaker 2: with you because I found it interesting to get into

1984
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 2: the conversation with you about what to do about the

1985
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 2: Lakers now that they've been eliminated. One of these two

1986
01:52:28,960 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 2: teams got about to get eliminated. So what do you

1987
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 2: do if you're them starting next year? Let's start with

1988
01:52:37,439 --> 01:52:41,200
Speaker 2: the team that is trailing. You mentioned Kevin Durant's name earlier.

1989
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are also a team that has the

1990
01:52:45,479 --> 01:52:49,080
Speaker 2: cost they've drafted, so well, you have all these twenty

1991
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 2: two year old kids. They're all fantastic, at least in

1992
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:59,720
Speaker 2: terms of potential. Stay the course email Udoka before the

1993
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:01,719
Speaker 2: Sea already's kind of said, that's what I was brought

1994
01:53:01,760 --> 01:53:02,120
Speaker 2: here to do.

1995
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 4: It'd be stupid to suddenly break it up now.

1996
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:11,320
Speaker 2: But by the same token, it is clear and whether

1997
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 2: they win this game, like we're going to talk about

1998
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,360
Speaker 2: these teams as if they're being eliminated tonight, one of

1999
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 2: them is gonna win, and who knows what they go

2000
01:53:18,720 --> 01:53:22,479
Speaker 2: do next, But it is clear what this team sort

2001
01:53:22,520 --> 01:53:27,560
Speaker 2: of needs to have that they don't currently have, And

2002
01:53:28,400 --> 01:53:30,679
Speaker 2: so what would you do? You stay in the course

2003
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 2: or you're pushing chips in the middle to go get

2004
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:35,799
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant. What do you do if you're the Houston

2005
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 2: Rockets if their season ends tonight.

2006
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:39,800
Speaker 5: I think you got a good core, But I think

2007
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 5: you need a real shot maker, a legit shot maker,

2008
01:53:44,320 --> 01:53:48,759
Speaker 5: somebody who you know can go get that bucket.

2009
01:53:49,160 --> 01:53:50,960
Speaker 3: Now. Can Jalen Green turn into that?

2010
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:51,519
Speaker 4: I don't know.

2011
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 5: He hasn't turned into that yet. He's been in the

2012
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 5: league what four years now. So for me, it's they

2013
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 5: need they need someone, they need a powerhouse, and so

2014
01:54:08,520 --> 01:54:11,640
Speaker 5: I if they're serious about really making a run at this,

2015
01:54:13,960 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 5: then yeah, you go get that guy.

2016
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,000
Speaker 3: You go get a Yannis, you go get it. Uh

2017
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 3: did you imagine with this good.

2018
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 4: Lord, they're already so big and so long?

2019
01:54:27,680 --> 01:54:33,720
Speaker 5: I mean, right, So that's what I would do. I

2020
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 5: would lean that way.

2021
01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 2: Do you think By the way, I'm starting to this

2022
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 2: speculation is there every year with Yannis every year? Right now,

2023
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 2: this speculation is there for the first time in like

2024
01:54:47,360 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 2: the last four years. I'm starting to hear people who

2025
01:54:52,080 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 2: are actually, you know, voices I would listen to in

2026
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 2: this situation.

2027
01:54:58,520 --> 01:55:00,840
Speaker 4: Suggest that they think Yiannis is played his last game with.

2028
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:05,040
Speaker 2: The Milwaukee Bucks, and I don't want to do the

2029
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:08,920
Speaker 2: whole like, well, if I were him, look, I don't

2030
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 2: know what the hell he likes and where he wants

2031
01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:13,640
Speaker 2: to be, And it's the only jersey he's ever worn,

2032
01:55:13,800 --> 01:55:18,040
Speaker 2: and it's not that easy to just pick your spot

2033
01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:21,200
Speaker 2: and go there. Sometimes if you say I want to leave, well, hey,

2034
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:25,200
Speaker 2: you end up where you end up. Hell, that's what

2035
01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:28,000
Speaker 2: happened to his teammate, Dame Lillard. Send me to Miami.

2036
01:55:28,160 --> 01:55:30,080
Speaker 2: Well we got the m right, You're in Milwaukee.

2037
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 4: So I don't I.

2038
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:36,920
Speaker 2: Don't know what he's going to do, but it, man,

2039
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:40,720
Speaker 2: it does feel like if if he is ultra focused

2040
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 2: on winning a ring, it feels like he's in a

2041
01:55:45,720 --> 01:55:47,480
Speaker 2: tough spot with the Bucks.

2042
01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:49,760
Speaker 4: I'll buy that at.

2043
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:54,560
Speaker 5: Least, yes, I would concur on that. I don't think

2044
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:58,120
Speaker 5: they can get it done there. They're not constructed for it.

2045
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,880
Speaker 5: I think lou and Drew Holiday and moving Middleton got

2046
01:56:03,160 --> 01:56:06,920
Speaker 5: old really fast, and so it's one of the it

2047
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:08,880
Speaker 5: was one of those situations where they had a window

2048
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 5: that they maybe could do something as a team for

2049
01:56:12,240 --> 01:56:15,480
Speaker 5: multiple years and it just fizzled out. Uh, and so

2050
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 5: they're stuck in with a situation where they have Giannis.

2051
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:22,680
Speaker 5: He's playing at an MVP level, but that's about it.

2052
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 5: Dame's been hurt in and out.

2053
01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:27,880
Speaker 7: It just.

2054
01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:33,120
Speaker 5: They got it. Seemed like they got old really fast

2055
01:56:34,720 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 5: while the league is getting younger. And so if I

2056
01:56:38,560 --> 01:56:42,120
Speaker 5: were you, honest, I would just I would look for

2057
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:47,240
Speaker 5: other No one's going to Milwaukee, right and no one's

2058
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 5: going to join him there, and so it would. I know,

2059
01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 5: he loves the community, the community loves him, but if

2060
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 5: he wants another championship, then he probably gonna have to

2061
01:56:58,120 --> 01:56:58,800
Speaker 5: look elsewhere.

2062
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:05,640
Speaker 2: Okay, now, the Golden State Warriors, I mean there's overlap here,

2063
01:57:06,640 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 2: although completely different with regard to the conversation you're having

2064
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 2: about the Lakers. I mean, I think we spent the

2065
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 2: whole weekend going up. No, they're old, the Warriors are old.

2066
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2067
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 2: If they win this basketball game, maybe all of a sudden, though,

2068
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:25,480
Speaker 2: you know, the conversation changes a little bit, and who

2069
01:57:25,600 --> 01:57:29,240
Speaker 2: knows where they go next. But every season is a

2070
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:32,360
Speaker 2: new one, and you're gonna try to get better no

2071
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:35,400
Speaker 2: matter how far you go. Steph will be thirty eight

2072
01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 2: next year.

2073
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:38,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's over for Houston. The body

2074
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 3: language is not good.

2075
01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:43,879
Speaker 2: Interesting, But what if you're the Warriors. If you're the Warriors,

2076
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 2: what are you doing next year? What do you do

2077
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 2: if you were to lose tonight? And I know they're

2078
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:53,360
Speaker 2: up double digits three and a half minutes to go,

2079
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,560
Speaker 2: but if you were to lose tonight, how would you

2080
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:59,920
Speaker 2: try to rescue the remainder of these superstars careers?

2081
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:06,240
Speaker 3: I think you have some pieces on that bench that

2082
01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:06,800
Speaker 3: can go.

2083
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:08,920
Speaker 10: Uh.

2084
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:10,520
Speaker 3: And then I think.

2085
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:15,840
Speaker 4: You just said you just said Jonathan Kamingo without saying

2086
01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,440
Speaker 4: Jonathan Yeah. Good lord.

2087
01:58:18,640 --> 01:58:21,760
Speaker 2: I the conversation in this town about him has almost

2088
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:23,360
Speaker 2: been toxic fromm yeah.

2089
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 8: Uh.

2090
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:26,240
Speaker 2: But he got an opportunity to go in for a

2091
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 2: short period of time in each half tonight, each half

2092
01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:31,760
Speaker 2: he had the opportunity to go in for a couple

2093
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 2: of minutes. A lot of people have been asking for

2094
01:58:33,920 --> 01:58:37,720
Speaker 2: his athleticism because Houston is so athletic. He went in

2095
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:40,400
Speaker 2: there tonight. He did not get a lot of time,

2096
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 2: and he has been on the bench for weeks. I

2097
01:58:42,920 --> 01:58:45,760
Speaker 2: get it, but my goodness, both times he went in,

2098
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 2: he reminded everybody why he's not in Yeah.

2099
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:52,440
Speaker 3: So it's it's time to move on from that. It's time.

2100
01:58:55,080 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 5: And and then that's fine, okay, yep, but you gotta

2101
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:02,280
Speaker 5: remember they started off the season playing twelve people and

2102
01:59:02,360 --> 01:59:05,000
Speaker 5: then that got down to six essentially.

2103
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:12,360
Speaker 3: But I think they need to go really get.

2104
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:17,560
Speaker 5: Someone that can take that can come in with Jimmy

2105
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:23,040
Speaker 5: and really take the load the pressure off Steph Curry.

2106
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 3: Right and and and allow him to not be so

2107
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:33,600
Speaker 3: you know, worn down as this thing goes on.

2108
01:59:34,680 --> 01:59:37,280
Speaker 2: This boy, I can't believe if they hold on here,

2109
01:59:37,640 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 2: I can't believe. They've gotta they gotta fly immediately to Minnesota.

2110
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:43,160
Speaker 5: I gotta go to tonight. Holy hell, they gotta go.

2111
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:48,680
Speaker 4: Holy hell, my man, I really appreciate you hanging with me.

2112
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:51,720
Speaker 5: You did it, man, I did it.

2113
01:59:51,920 --> 01:59:54,520
Speaker 4: I did it. Did they do it? I don't know

2114
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:55,240
Speaker 4: if they did it.

2115
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:58,080
Speaker 2: We'll find out coming up next Planing and Span your

2116
01:59:58,200 --> 02:00:00,760
Speaker 2: our next. How they wonder ful night
