1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio and we've got 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: a Game three from the Twin Cities. Welcome in and 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: Saturday nights NBA Playoffs again dominating the conversation. Welcome in, 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: as we're broadcasting Love from the Fox Sports Radio studios 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: in southern California. Find Olden on ex at Olden Polinice one. 6 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: You can find me at dan Byer on Fox Love 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: taking over for the one and only Steve Hartman, he 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: and Martin Weiss teaming up for the last couple of hours. 9 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: Steve never stops talking even when the show ends, and 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: he just continued to talk about how great Olden Polinice's 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: predictions have been in these NBA playoffs. So tonight the 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves are back home against the Oklahoma City Thunder 13 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: and it's okay, see up two to zher, Olden. I 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: don't know who you picked in the series, and we 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: can get to that later, but tonight, for what's at 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: stake this evening? How does it play out tonight? If 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm to believe that Steve Hartman is truthful in everything 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: that he says about your predictions. 19 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: Well, finally getting some credit. I believe that Minnesota's gonna 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: win tonight. I did have Oklahoma City winning the series 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: only because I quite I see that the better team, 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: they're more energetic. There's a lot of issues with the 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves with this matchup. I had them winning the 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: last series only because obviously, of course, you know, with 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 2: injuries and everything else. But yeah, when Steph won, it 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: was a rap. But I just don't believe, like go 27 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: bad what he did against the Lakers, he can't do 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: against okay See, because they have two long dudes that 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: can defend him, you know, give him different looks, and 30 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: Chut Holmgan can just pull him out, you know, and 31 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? So they forced Minnesota to 32 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: go small, which is an advantage to okay See. So 33 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: but I believe Minnesota will win tonight only because of 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: the energy factor and the fact that you know, this 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: is not going to be a sweep by any means, 36 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: and so they're gonna get this one tonight. 37 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: I was curious what Olden was going to say, and 38 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: I was not going to just do whatever Olden says. 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: But I completely agree with you that tonight is Minnesota's night, 40 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: and I think that the NBA has to have it 41 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: be Minnesota's night. Ah. And I'm not saying that the 42 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: fix is in. That is not what I'm saying, Olden. 43 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: But we have two series that are two to zero. 44 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: You have an NBA Finals that starts June fifth, that's 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: another week and some days afterwards. The NBA cannot afford 46 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: to have a series go three to oh and then 47 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: the other one where the road team took the first 48 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: two on the road and goes back home to Indianapolis 49 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: tomorrow night with the Pacers and Knicks playing, and the 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: next may very well win that game tomorrow night. But 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: the NBA cannot have this series right here, be a 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: three to zero series and have this wrapped. And I 53 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: think tonight you're gonna see the flip side of SGA's calls. 54 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: I don't think he's really going to get calls tonight. 55 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: I think the players that will get calls are obviously 56 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards. But to your point about Rudy Gobert not 57 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: being a factor, I think Gobert will be better offensively tonight, 58 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: and I think Julius Randa will have a great game 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: offensively tonight. I think they'll be able to score down though. 60 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: I think they'll be able to get calls tonight. That's 61 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: how I think it plays out tonight in Minnesota Game four. 62 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: Who knows, but tonight we need it. They need it, 63 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: everybody needs it. Everybody needs Minnesota to win tonight. Oh definitely. 64 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: You know, I'm the biggest conspiracy theorist in. 65 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: The world, so because I was in there, so I 66 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: know how this thing plays out a little bit. Just 67 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: like when I used to see certain referees, I knew 68 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: how to flow. The game was gonna be just by 69 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: the who the referees are. You know, is it a 70 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: tight whistle, is it a loose whistle? And so you know, 71 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: like Shay Gilgers has done an incredible job in this 72 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: MVP season of drawing files even though he's initiating contact. 73 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that I have a 74 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: gripe with because he's initiated a contract contact. He extends 75 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: his elbow. The other night they made a call and 76 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: it was absurd to me that it was a back 77 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: to back play. Julius Reynold got called for a push off. 78 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: Shaye went down and did the same exact thing, same extension, 79 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: but it wasn't a file. So again, you know, it's 80 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 2: one of those situations. But you're right, the NBA cannot 81 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 2: have a three to zero series with the Knicks having 82 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 2: lost the two home games. 83 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: I just and he's not gonna get those calls tonight. 84 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: It's just it's not going to happen. Not in front 85 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: of that crowd as well, that's not going to happen. 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: You know. The other in sequence from game two that 87 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: stood out in my mind was it was the Jaden 88 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: McDaniels shove of Shake Gildess Alexander. Yeah. But the reason 89 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: why it stood out to me was from what you 90 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: said is SGA is the one that's always drawing the contact. 91 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: He's the one that's bringing it into himself and on 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: that play and McDaniel's getting in foul trouble, whether it's 93 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: his fault or not. In Game one, hurt them, Oklahoma 94 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: City went on their run after he did. But in 95 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: Game two, when McDaniels shoves him, that whole sequence Olden 96 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: was SGA doing his baiting, grabbing his arm. Then he 97 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: beats them because McDaniel's just kind of fed up with it, 98 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: beats them, and what does SGA do slows up to 99 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: bring him back to do it again, and that's the 100 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: stuff that then gets under your skin, and that's the 101 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: stuff that starts to things to get a little chippy. 102 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: And so now you have the second straight time where 103 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: Daniels was not happy and in game one ended up 104 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: fouling out that game, and now you have this. You 105 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: kind of just have that boiling overpoint and negative energy. 106 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: I think turns into a positive energy tonight for Minnesota. 107 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: But he's he's getting under people's skin. 108 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: Well, it is what it is, you know, I mean, 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: if you're good enough to I used to always say this, 110 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: it's only a foul if the referees call it. But 111 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: the problem that I have with that statement is also this, 112 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: it's all arbitrary. You know, a slap on the wrist 113 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 2: is a foul. The next play or even the same play, 114 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: it's not a foul. It's like make up your mind. 115 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 2: Perfect example was Alex Caruso in the Denva series against Jokics. 116 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call the file because it's Alix Caruso. 117 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: He's a small guy, But if it was a big guy, 118 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 2: it would have been called a foul. That makes no 119 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: sense to me. A foul is a foul no matter 120 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: who's defending. True, But that's you're the just said it. 121 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: You're the biggest conspiracy theorist that there is. It's never 122 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: been a problem for the NBA to to say, all right, 123 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 2: well it's a foul on him, but it's not on him. 124 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: That's going on for prior to when I was born, 125 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: that stuff was happening. Yeah, that was Shack's big argument. 126 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: You know, Will Chamberlain all those guys gone through it. Man. 127 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: But it's like, come on, you don't referee size, you 128 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: referee to play. Is it a fiul? 129 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: Yes? No, I don't care about anything else that you know. 130 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: And that's the you know, you talk about Rudy Gobert 131 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: getting his and obviously Shaq's skill set was completely different. 132 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: But when you saw Shack, Shack had a reason to 133 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: be annoyed. The Julius Randall SGA comparison that you brought 134 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: up is just to me, it's home court road team 135 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: sort of deal, MVP versus very good player. There are 136 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: all those sort of discrepancies. Shack was such a unique spot, 137 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe even just it's because how physically massive he was 138 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: and how athletically gifted he was. But in that situation, 139 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: there is the hierarchy of calls MVP at home getting 140 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: the calls, Julius Randall a level or two under that 141 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: on the road, not getting the calls. That's the NBA 142 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: in a nutshow. 143 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: Definitely, And it's sad though, you know, I mean, you 144 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: make a great point, but it is still sad that 145 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: it functions that way. And I think you killing your 146 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: product when you don't have the best out there, no 147 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: matter what it is, best coaches, best players, best referees. 148 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: If you don't have those three things going, you're killing 149 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 2: your own product. 150 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: Well, I feel that they feel that they have the 151 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: best referees because I just end up seeing the same guys. 152 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: I know they're telling us different guys, and I don't 153 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: know if it's because it's Zack Zarba that's always on 154 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: the mic or Scott Foster is always going over and 155 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: is on the mic. I know they have different officials, 156 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: but I felt Tony Brothers has reffed every game of 157 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: these playoffs. I mean, I swear, I guarantee he's probably 158 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: reughing tonight. I when the game starts and we see 159 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: am I wrong? Olden? Am I wrong? You're wrong? Game right? 160 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: Jim Caper? Like it's I know they have other guys. 161 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: But for some reason, I feel it's. 162 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 2: You have to earn the right to referee in the 163 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: playoffs and in the conference finals and in the finals. 164 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: There's a system that they use, supposedly, and I don't 165 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: know how true that is. That's one of the things 166 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: they need to make transparent. It's like, how do you 167 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: come up with that? Sure, some of these guys do 168 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: not belong in the conference finals right now refereeing. 169 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen Ed molloy once, but I've 170 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: seen his screenshot when they would say these are the 171 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: officials of the Conference finals. But I just feel like 172 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of Scott Foster and Tony Brothers. Yes, 173 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: by the way, the Minnesota side of thing, if it 174 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: goes the other way, which again Olden doesn't think so, 175 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: I don't think so. We both think Minnesota wins tonight. 176 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: If you're a Timberwolves fan, what's next? And the reason 177 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: that I say that is because what I feel happens 178 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: and I feel this happened with my own team, the 179 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks, is the Milwaukee Bucks have Giannis and all 180 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: of a sudden they're put into a class that they 181 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: really weren't familiar in being with the haves as opposed 182 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: to the have nots, and you're like, we cannot waste 183 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: this generational talent. And for them they cashed in four 184 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: years ago. Ever since, it's been tough, and now they're 185 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: gonna have a decision something that you and I will 186 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: talk about at some point later on in the show, 187 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: as Doc Rivers is saying, I thought deannas all the 188 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: time point being is Doc Rivers is his coach. Adrian 189 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: Griffin was his coach, Mike Budenholzer was his coach. Jason 190 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Kidd was his coach. So you're making all these changes 191 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: because you don't know if you're going to get to 192 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: these certain points without these guys, and then you do, 193 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: and then maybe it flattens out and you make a change, 194 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: and then that change doesn't work, so you make another change. Here, 195 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota has Anthony Edwards, the first overall pick, swings a 196 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: trade that sent a bunch of first round picks to 197 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,479 Speaker 1: Utah to get Rudy Gobert. And now this last offseason, 198 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: after losing in five games, say Karl Anthony Towns is 199 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: not with us. We're gonna bring in Julius Randall. We're 200 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: gonna bring in Dante DiVincenzo. If they don't win tonight 201 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: and if they don't make it out of the Western 202 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: Conference Finals, do you think anything changed in Minnesota in 203 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: terms of the Timberwolves after two would be two straight 204 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: Western Conference Final oustings. It would have to change on 205 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,359 Speaker 1: two positions. 206 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: Point guard. I love Mike Conley, but Mike Conley is 207 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: not the guy. Mike Conley is a backup at this 208 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: stage in his career. He's a backup. You know that 209 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 2: jump shot is not butter. 210 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: You know, he's struggle plus fourteen, it's still a struggle. 211 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: Okay, So he's not your championship He's he can be 212 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: on a championship team, but as a backup. And also 213 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 2: in the other position is Rudy Gobet's position. He's not 214 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 2: call Anthony Towns. And one of the things one of 215 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 2: the biggest mistakes Minnesota made in Game one and also 216 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: in Game two is where they were giving him the ball. 217 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert is not a setup, pick, cast and ball, 218 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: make a move kind of guy. He has to be 219 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: under the basket, raid of power up. That's it. Drop 220 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: off guy. And if they don't have a guy that 221 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: could be a threat offensively as well, then they gonna 222 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: have problems. 223 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: I just I so hope that it doesn't happen to them. 224 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I do worry. Chris Finch's done an amazing job. There 225 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: A lot of times it falls on the coach. And 226 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: when you have Anthony Edwards and you have the pieces 227 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: and you fall short, You're like, where else do you turn? 228 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if that conversation would start up, even 229 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: though again Minnesota's reached spots that they really haven't prior 230 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: to him taking over, aside from two thousand and four 231 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: when they made it to the conference finals. But you 232 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: get into that conversation of all right, we've made it 233 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: this far. Last year it didn't work. We got ousted 234 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: in five games. The next year we made it just 235 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: as far and we got ousted again. What do we 236 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: change again so this doesn't happen? And olden the West 237 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: is not getting any easier, Like every year we say 238 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: this of you know, the the Western Conference so much 239 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: better than the East, and at some point you think 240 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a drop off. Well, Mavericks had the 241 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: first overall pick with Cooper flag and o Kyrie's out, 242 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: but the Spurs we expect to be a lot better 243 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: than they are. Like, it's just it's a grind. Oklahoma 244 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: City's not going anywhere, man. 245 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: You know, Oklahoma City has a guy that hasn't even 246 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: played for him yet, and he could be one of 247 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: the top players on their team, Nicola Topic. They still 248 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: have him waiting in the wings to come and play. 249 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: Sam Presy is the genius of geniuses. He's able to 250 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: swing and get an MVP, get a jail, and Williams 251 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 2: All Star, get the other jail, and Williams get Kenrich Williams, 252 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: get all these cats. I mean they got more Williams 253 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: than any Williams. Yeah, they got So It's like, and 254 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: he has draft picks still. If he wants to swing 255 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: for the fences on a major trade, he can do it. 256 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: He has enough pieces. 257 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: They've had so many opportunities. I mean, like when you 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: look at the arsenal of picks that they have to 259 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: swing deals and they haven't done it. And it's a 260 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: reason why I cheer for them. They didn't. They they 261 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: weren't not like the Sixers. They were not like we're 262 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna stink for six years. We're gonna load everybody up 263 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: and we're gonna have top five picks. Russell Westbrook stayed 264 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 1: around for a little while. They ended up that's not working. 265 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: They basically had two years where it didn't work out 266 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: for him. They then made the play in tournament the 267 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: next year made good on those picks. The biggest deal 268 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: was obviously the Paul George trade to bring Shay Gil 269 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: just Alexander to Oklahoma City. But you're right, and there 270 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: were opportunities. I thought there was a one point olden 271 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: that Kevin Durant this was pre Phoenix, this is when 272 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: he went out of Brooklyn could have gone back and 273 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: righted some wrongs in Oklahoma City. But they didn't. They didn't. 274 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: They did not, They did not go down that road. 275 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: They didn't swing a trade for him. And they've held 276 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: on to their assets and they're they're in a much 277 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: better position for it, considering that this is the best 278 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: team in the NBA. Oh bye flaw, bye faw. 279 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 2: And they've done it, you know, for lack of a 280 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 2: better word, they have done it organically, you know, through 281 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: absolutely they guys and Jell and Williams, the one they 282 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: called JDub the All Star. I mean, my goodness, his 283 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 2: development is insane and the fact that when they got Shay, 284 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: because that was one of UH requirements. Basically, that's what 285 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: it is. We got to get a young star or 286 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: a young star guy with potential, with star potential, and 287 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: look at him, he's an MVP. But yet you still 288 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: got all your draft picks back later on through trades. 289 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: You know, when they got with a Paul George, when 290 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: they got Chris Paul whoever it is. It's like we 291 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: stockpiling draft picks, but we're getting better. These guys have 292 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: made the greatest moves of any team in the NBA. 293 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: Every move they've made has been amazing, and it's like 294 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: you just you're an amazing You are in awe of them. 295 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: There's your breakdown of the thunder and it's also everything 296 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: hasn't on right, but they've made the right pick. Like 297 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: chet Holmgrim missed his rookie year, got injured, was not available, 298 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: but guess what, Like Josh Giddy panned out to the 299 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: point where they could then trade him to Chicago to 300 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: bring in Alex Caruso. To your point, Jalen Williams, the 301 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: was late lottery pick and so he ends up coming 302 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: in and working out. It has worked out piece after 303 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: piece after piece, and it's I called them America's team 304 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: at the start of these playoffs because they weren't littered 305 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: with top five lottery picks, because Shay Gildess Alexander was 306 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: the young piece and the Paul George headline trade and 307 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: the way that they've come together and they put it 308 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: together loud thwrt's you know, been there a wild and 309 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: I do it. So there's I mean, there's all NBA 310 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of pieces that fit together in 311 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: that puzzle. That's why they are where they are tonight, 312 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Olden and I just don't think they're going to win. 313 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: Hit them up at Olden Polonies One.

Yes, it's been proven. It's been 355 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: proven that. So it's interesting how it always works in 356 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: their favor. It always does, it always does. 357 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: I would like to bring up other examples, but I 358 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: don't want to dive into any depressive gambling story, so 359 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: we'll move on from there. There was a great story 360 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: this week with Shake Gildes Alexander winning the MVP, or 361 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: was it a great story old than polonies? Because there 362 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: are so many that say Nicola Jokic again numbers that 363 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: we just never see in the NBA. Shay Giljess Alexander 364 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: is a flopper. Nicola Jokic should have won his fourth 365 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: MVP in five years, but no, SGA gets the MVP, 366 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: doing so pretty handedly seventy one out of a possible 367 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: one hundred first place votes. Jokic got the other twenty 368 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: nine first place votes. But Shay Gildess Alexander is the MVP. 369 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: Should he be? Oh Man, great question. This is the 370 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: only way I can answer it. 371 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: Djokas seasoned b this year, it's better than it's three 372 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: previous MVP years, and yet he doesn't win MVP. And 373 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: that's why I've always said this thing is who do 374 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: I like this year? Who am I gonna vote for this? 375 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 2: That's all it is, because you can't really tell. I 376 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: say this many many years ago, Michael Jordan most likely 377 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: could have won MVP every season. Shaquille O'Neill could have 378 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: won MVP every season, you know, because you take them 379 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 2: out of the lineup, you know, it's a different story. 380 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 2: I'm thinking, if I take Shay Gilgers out of the lineup, 381 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: Minnesota still wins games. But if I take Joker out 382 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 2: of the lineup, they're a lottery team. They are They're 383 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 2: a lottery team. So to me, that's where the value 384 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: comes in. And so, but the fact that this man's 385 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 2: season this year is better than the three previous MVP 386 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: years is absurd to me. 387 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: Can I can I tell you what my biggest pet 388 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: peeve is with the MVP, and it's us breaking down 389 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: what the MVP is. And I think you hit a 390 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: lot of the points of like, well we break down 391 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: what valuable is or we bring up the numbers. This thing, 392 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: to me has been more of a marketing ploy with 393 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 1: the league, which, by the way, Olden, I don't mind 394 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: as much. It doesn't bother me as much as you said, 395 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan could have been the MVP every single season. 396 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: Shack could have been the MVP. If I'm Shack, I 397 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: probably am ticked because the only one at once the 398 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: Steve Nashers, Yeah, and the Steve Nashiers that that that 399 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: you could have won MVPs any of the other years 400 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: he was a candidate. It is a It is a 401 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: moving piece of hardware that goes and spotlights parts of 402 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: the NBA. And if you don't recognize that, and it's why, honestly, Olden, 403 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: my argument for Shay Gilgess Alexander is because he fits 404 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,719 Speaker 1: the suit, and that's been the suit of the MBA 405 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: of new guy on the Rise team as the best record, 406 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: what has he done? Like those? Those are pieces and 407 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: now for us to say, oh gosh, look at Yogics's numbers, 408 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're saying that, but that is the 409 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 1: argument against SGA and the historic portion of it. We 410 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: could do that for the last forty years. My whole 411 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: thing is just stop taking the MVP for what it 412 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: is and trying to make it as a valuable thing. 413 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: It is a piece of hardware that has used as 414 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: propaganda to promote the league. And now you have all 415 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: these different MVPs. It's never been a gauge on who's 416 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: the best and who isn't the best. It's never been that. 417 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: Maybe in certain years, Okay, this will be a you know, 418 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: this will be a Tim Duncan year. Right, this is 419 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: gonna be guess we're gonna Kobe's gonna win it. Two 420 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, Let's finally get one to Kobe Bryant. 421 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: Like those, it's just not the award that people want 422 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: to argue and fight about. And that's why I felt 423 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: that SGA his award. Oklahoma sas got the best record, 424 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: He's had a magnificent season, he's in line to do it, 425 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: just like other players in the past have been in 426 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: line to get it. 427 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: Oh definitely. But again going back to that, is it 428 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: the fact that he averaged over thirty points? Because again, 429 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: if that's the case, then Jordan should have won. What's 430 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: the criteria? I always say this, like with the goat conversation, 431 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,239 Speaker 2: what is the criteria? What criteria you guys using for 432 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: this MVP award? And they don't have it? And B 433 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: one MVP we already knew and B was gonna win because. 434 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: Way before the award, way. 435 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: Before during the season, They're like, there's no way they 436 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 2: can vote for Joker again to win. 437 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 4: You know. 438 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: It's like, wait a minute, so you already making your 439 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: decision before the season ends. So to me, it's absurd 440 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: how they come up with this. But again, there's no 441 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: criteria to speak of to say, Okay, these are the barometers. Okay, points, rebounds, 442 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: your value, your value to the team, whatever it is. 443 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think. 444 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: So there was a stat I looked at earlier today, 445 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 2: Dwayne Wade versus Shay Gilders Alexander. Dwayne Wade finished third 446 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: in MVP the year. I'm referencing, but it's in line 447 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: with Shay's this year, but Dwayne Wade's and Dwayne had 448 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: more rebounds, more steals. But I'm like, wait a minute, 449 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: that makes no sense. So what are we using as 450 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: the barometer? I think that we are using exactly what 451 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 2: I said. It is a cosmetic award to help promote 452 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: the NBA and be given to the player, where then 453 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: there add some prestige and some recognition to that player 454 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: and that team. 455 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Tell you what, I would bet a lot of money 456 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: that Shay Gilders Alexander will not win it next year. No, 457 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 1: like right, Like Jokic has been in the conversation and 458 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: is one three of the list. Well now five. I 459 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: was about to say four, but three of the last 460 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: five because his numbers were undeniable and there wasn't somebody 461 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: that fit the suit of thirty points a game. Team 462 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 1: was best in the NBA and on the rise. And 463 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: also it feels like there's this happy medium spot. Guys 464 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: aren't winning MVPs at twenty two, they aren't winning them 465 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: at twenty three. They're winning them at twenty five, twenty seven. 466 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: The last thirty year old to win an MVP was 467 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: Steve Nash when he's thirty one years old. The last 468 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: thirty year old prior to that win the MVP was 469 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 1: Karl Malone when who's thirty five years old. So this 470 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: is the late nineteen nineties, so it's been an award. 471 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: None of the names are all popular. Steph. You know, 472 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: Steph's career has been amazing. Steph wins his MVPs during 473 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: Great Championship seasons, seventy three wins season when he's twenty six, 474 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: when he's twenty seven, when he's averaging thirty two and 475 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: thirty four points per game. It is all fitting the suits. 476 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: And that's where I just think, don't be mad over 477 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: SGA getting it. Understand what he got because it's not 478 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: the award that people want it to be. 479 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not gonna critique him. He wins it because 480 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 2: that's the vote, and I totally agree with you. Whatever 481 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 2: the NBA wants, the NBA gets. If I want to 482 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: promote this guy, maybe it's like, hey, you know what 483 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: this is payment for you guys doing ABC and D 484 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. 485 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't care. 486 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 2: You got the number one record, fine, but going back 487 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 2: to Steve Nash, I will tell you this that should 488 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: have been an indicator, okay, as to what this MVP 489 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: award really was, because that's the lowest branch ever for 490 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 2: an MVP. The fact that he won the MVP what 491 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 2: I's averaging twenty points is the most absurd thing I've 492 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 2: ever seen in my life, and so to me, that 493 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: should have told us everything we need to needed to 494 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 2: know about the MVP award and those who vote for it. 495 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: It's absurd. We'll get rid of it. 496 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: When Nash won, he had fifteen points the first time 497 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: around and eighty point eight the second time. I can 498 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: see the disgust in your face. You can't see it 499 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: on radio, but I mean the look and reading that's sad. 500 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 2: I love Steve. I've known Steve since Santa Clara days. 501 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: I love him to death. But he was not the 502 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 2: MVP neither one of those years Steph wanted averaging just 503 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: under twenty four points per game. I gave him a 504 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 2: higher point totals. He had thirty in the he averaged 505 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 2: thirty per game in the year when they won seventy 506 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: three games. To that point, it's been thirty one points 507 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: per game, twenty eight points per game, twenty nine points 508 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 2: per game. You'll catch had twenty six, ten and eight 509 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: in the year that he wanted twenty six, twelve and 510 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: nine when he won it last year. But then there's 511 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: I mean those numbers like is if SGA would have 512 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: averaged because he averaged thirty two points a game this year, 513 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 2: if he would have averaged twenty four points a game, 514 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 2: he does not win the MVP. If he averaged twenty seven, 515 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 2: he's probably in the conversation. Since he was above thirty, 516 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 2: he wins it. That's how I end up looking at 517 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: it again. You take Steph off the Warriors, Yep, they'll trash. 518 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 2: I get it, Joker trash. You take SGA off the 519 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: Oklahoma See Thunder and they can still win. And to me, 520 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 2: how are you valuable? 521 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: I know I'm taking that as an open ended question. 522 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't think that was a real question, the value, 523 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: But I get it. Steve de Seger's at the news 524 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: desk giving us the latest, and I'm sure he's got 525 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: some great numbers to pass along MVP wise, and. 526 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 5: The theme song to pass along, because I certainly appreciate 527 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 5: the fit the suit reference that comes from the Johnny 528 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 5: Bravo episode. Greg got the music because he fit the suit. 529 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 5: Thank you what did. 530 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: He did he say? What did he say? Sayonara, Johnny, bravo, 531 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: and he ripped up the contract. 532 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 5: Went back to the family. By the way, this is 533 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 5: one of the things you talk about MVP voting that 534 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 5: I love about. The absolute greatness of the great one 535 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 5: Wayne Gretzky in hockey is early in his career he 536 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 5: won the MVP Award eight years in a row because 537 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 5: eight years in a row he'd led the league in 538 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 5: points and assists. In one of those years he had 539 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 5: about ninety goals playing eighty games. If he's the best, 540 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 5: he's the best. 541 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,719 Speaker 1: That's it. If I can think of any other player 542 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: hockey player from the late eighties right now, I would 543 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: have referenced him, But right now my mind is blank. 544 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 5: Well, probably his teammates Messi and so forth. Yes, we 545 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 5: haven't reachail you'ring goal. Yeah, yes, exactly.

In Minnesota, Timberwolves down two, 554 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 5: hosting an Oklahoma City team that was the best in 555 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 5: the regular season.

Five years 765 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: ratings For The timberwolves thunder series were not great after, 766 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: game one but ratings for the playoffs were up through 767 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: the first. Two, Rounds yeah AND what i loved about 768 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: IT was i didn't know who was going to win. 769 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: EACH game i didn't know who's going. TO win i 770 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: didn't know who's going to win. Each series and even 771 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: in the SERIES where i FELT like I thought i 772 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: knew who was going, to Win, say boston, for example 773 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: they did. Not win it. Provided drama every game may 774 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: not have been close but there was something that. Was 775 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: UNDECIDED and i think you're gonna hear a lot more 776 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: of the talk now because it's not. About markets it's 777 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: not a. Market conversation it's about parody IN. The nba 778 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 1: and there are people who do not. Want parody they 779 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 1: want WHAT the nba built its, foundation on and that's 780 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: dominant teams and. Dominant Players, but olden it's been an 781 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: exciting month and a half for ME because i didn't 782 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: know what was going, to HAPPEN and i don't Know If. 783 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: Oklahoma city and the REASON why i Didn't Think oklahoma 784 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: city was gonna win tonight was not only WAS. THE 785 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: nba i just don't think that the teams that we 786 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: have presently IN the nba are as good as they 787 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: were five or ten, years ago or fifteen or twenty. 788 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: YEARS ago i think we've got more parody in, the 789 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 1: LEAGUE and i think that also means that our champions 790 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,479 Speaker 1: and our best teams aren't as good as they. ONCE 791 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: were i Don't Think oklahoma city is good enough to 792 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: go In. Sweep minnesota there's Just not there's certain teams 793 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: that just. That aren't and THAT'S why I felt minnesota 794 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 1: had a. Chance TONIGHT but i think it's, an overall 795 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 1: just an. Overall thought for as Great As oklahoma city is, 796 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: THIS season i don't think You're Putting, oklahoma city if 797 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 1: they win, a title up Against the warriors team of a, 798 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: decade ago Or the heat teams of a, decade ago 799 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 1: or any Of those lakers teams from the, two thousands 800 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: whether it be the three peats or the back. To 801 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: back they're Just NOT and i would say that if 802 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: you looked at the champions that we've had in, previous 803 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: years any of those teams are not going to stack 804 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,399 Speaker 1: up to the greatness of the other teams that we've 805 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 1: previous champions we've. 806 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 2: Previously had you are, absolutely right it's not. Even close, 807 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 2: and yeah the parody is something that we can.

It's insane, it's insane and this 869 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 2: is the number one team with the best record sixty eight. 870 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 2: And fourteen but it's like it's it's gonna keep fluctuating 871 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 2: because that's just how. 872 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: It is these guys are. 873 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 2: Still young they don't have that it factor as far, 874 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 2: as championships and, of course now by going, through it 875 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: you might, get it but then again you could turn 876 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 2: INTO like, i Said The. Denver nuggets they went, through 877 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 2: it won the championship and, then oops we're back to square. 878 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 2: One again so there's no dominant factors, right now and 879 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 2: it's SAD because i.

Late 894 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: eighties it's about the Time that i'm, you KNOW and 895 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,399 Speaker 1: i know it's early in, your y, you know IN your, 896 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 1: nba career But the celtics Were. The. Celtics now it 897 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 1: felt like every Year the Lakers and celtics played IN 898 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: The nba finals because it was one, of them was 899 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: there one? Of them, was there but there was something 900 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 1: about When the pistons knocked Off, the celtics Not the 901 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,600 Speaker 1: rockets Beating the lakers in, eighty SIX and, i Mean 902 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: the celtics were dominant, there anyway but it felt like, It, 903 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 1: was okay here's, a change and Then the pistons have 904 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: their little Run Before michael jordan ends up, taking over 905 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 1: and then you Have the bulls trying to be challenged 906 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 1: and ultimately never knocked off of. Their PEDESTAL but i 907 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,840 Speaker 1: like the drama. OF this, i Mean the Shaq and 908 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: kobe teams were magnificently early. Two thousands there wasn't much 909 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: Drama that philadelphia was going to go in there and 910 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: win in two thousand, and one even if They win 911 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: game one of. That series just there's the nets were 912 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 1: not gonna stop them from the. Three peat and, to 913 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: me that's that's Not great and if you, love greatness. 914 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: THAT'S fine i thought the magic of the eighties WAS 915 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,279 Speaker 1: that i hated Both the Lakers. And celtics like THERE 916 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: was i didn't like, Either team, and now in looking at, these, 917 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,440 Speaker 1: matchups YEAH maybe i like, this PLAYER maybe i don't like, 918 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: That Player but i'm different.

To win that would that would be the. 926 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 2: Ultimate one with the four, teams left you. 927 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:20,399 Speaker 1: Think A Julius randolph thibodeaux having coached, Both teams oh, 928 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,719 Speaker 1: my goodness that would have. Been beautiful but by, your 929 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: reasoning you would Want The boston celtics to have gone 930 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: TO The nba finals at the beginning of THIS and 931 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,960 Speaker 1: i know you Picked the knicks to beat them in. The, 932 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 1: series yeah but that's the Because the celtics were that team. 933 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: This year if there were any team that we thought 934 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: it was the, Defending, chair no. They weren't not. For 935 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: me celtics got lucky. Last year that's. 936 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:45,920 Speaker 2: Called luck everybody. Got, hurt okay everybody. Was hurt everybody. 937 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 1: WAS limping i would. STILL say i would still, say 938 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 1: though for their makeup of, THE team i felt that they. 939 00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 2: Were, stronger no now with them three point mindset up. 940 00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 1: Twenty shooting it's pretty. ABSURD now I felt i felt 941 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: that they were they were the best team last year and. 942 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 1: SHOWED it i don't think that they're an all time, Great. 943 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: Team alden and that's my point of of what we've 944 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,879 Speaker 1: got now of these these these teams that we see 945 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,240 Speaker 1: now aren't going to be able TO they're, nba champions 946 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: but they're not going to measure up to the teams of. 947 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: The PAST but i also think what it does is 948 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: it tells your point and makes the point Of a 949 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 1: denver team that two years ago loses a couple of 950 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: key key Pieces Like, Contavious, Caldwell Pope bruce brown was 951 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 1: a member of. That team those guys move on and 952 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: Now the nuggets are a completely, Different team and who would, 953 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 1: have thought LIKE man kcp. Being missed but that's the 954 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 1: that's the parody OF, the nba that a couple of 955 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: role players are having that much of, an impact even 956 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 1: WITH an Mvp like jokic, on it their fortunes. Are 957 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 1: CHANGED and i think that says a lot about ABOUT. 958 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,399 Speaker 1: The Nba the pacers being a four seed right now, 959 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,800 Speaker 1: They were they're kind of in a jumbled Mess with Milwaukee, 960 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: and detroit throughout. The season but the way that they're, 961 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: playing now. MY goodness i MEAN there's i don't know 962 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: how you could bet. Against them and how many people 963 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,320 Speaker 1: could name someone From The indiana pacers at the start of. 964 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,840 Speaker 1: The playoffs it Maybe be halliburton or Maybe A pascal 965 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 1: Siakam Or. Miles turner outside, of that nobody's Naming Any. Indiana, 966 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,879 Speaker 1: pacers no not. At ALL but i like how. They 967 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: play one of the THINGS that i really enjoy. About them, 968 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: you know People Forget rick carlisle is a championship coach 969 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,359 Speaker 1: and that's going to come into play, right now and 970 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: we've seen it already because they won two Games In, 971 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 1: new York whereas thibodeau is not a. Championship coach thibodeau 972 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 1: is playing chess right now but only using three pieces 973 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 1: and just disregarding all the other pieces on. The board 974 00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 1: and so, to me that's one of the biggest problems that. 975 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: They have But. 976 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 2: The, indiana pacers they are playing an eighties style. Of 977 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,439 Speaker 2: basketball it's like we're, attacking everything not just three. Point 978 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,279 Speaker 2: line we're not living on the three. Point line we're 979 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 2: gonna break, you down, get layups and those to me 980 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:12,399 Speaker 2: are more back breaking than three Pointers because i'm going by. 981 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 2: Your defense i'm basically saying, to you you can't. 982 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 1: Guard me they they also they've they've got this knack 983 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,440 Speaker 1: to get rebounds or. Offensive rebounds As a, bucks fan 984 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 1: they did it In the bucks series like there was 985 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 1: there was. A, possession honestly it felt like they had 986 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: the ball for, a minute like it was just that 987 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: they could not get any they could not get, a 988 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,719 Speaker 1: rebound and even last night, at TIMES and i Know 989 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,839 Speaker 1: the knicks had, an opportunity but it, feels like at 990 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: least in throughout this series at times it's been going 991 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: back to the last series even as well With, the 992 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 1: cavaliers Where the pacers will get an offensive rebound when 993 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,680 Speaker 1: they need it, the most and it's so backbreaking to 994 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: be able to get that rebound and then get. A, 995 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: bucket well it's like a Guy LIKE. Aaron, e smith nobody, 996 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 1: really knows but just a fourteenth pick IN the. 997 00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,960 Speaker 2: Nba draft if you don't, Know him, i'm sorry but 998 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 2: he was the fourteenth pick IN. The nba dream was 999 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 2: she was Hurt, A vanderbilt so that means he knows how. 1000 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 2: To play he does absolutely that that. 1001 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,279 Speaker 1: Is true i'm not gonna blame anybody for not knowing 1002 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 1: a late lottery pick, now though because the draft is 1003 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: completely different than what it. Once was but to, your 1004 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 1: point not many people know Who Aaron ne.

Really good he's been good throughout. These playoffs, 1010 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 1: FOR him i, LIKE him, i mean, but again him 1011 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,879 Speaker 1: hitting all those, three pointers there's no Way if, I'm 1012 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: coaching there's no Way on God's, Sween earth i'm just gonna. 1013 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 1: Keep late after the, First two i'm knocking you to. 1014 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: The ground you gotta make some.

The comeback by, the way if 1036 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 1: it's speaking, of comebacks the thunder are gonna need one early. 1037 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,000 Speaker 2: Second quarter it's thirty nine To. Seventeen minnesota, HEY man 1038 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 2: i tell you they're gonna blow him out in the. 1039 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 2: First half. 1040 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 1: Now There's. The pacers you'd still have to tune into the. 1041 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: Fourth quarter and that's my POINT that i find interesting 1042 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 1: for all Of the knick stats that were, out THERE 1043 00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,919 Speaker 1: and i told This To ryan, hollins yesterday if you're 1044 00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,760 Speaker 1: the reason why that number of teams that hadn't blown 1045 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,080 Speaker 1: a lead or the record was. So poor of one, 1046 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 1: thousand teams a nine hundred ninety one and one that 1047 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: had a lead with nine points left with a minute 1048 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:45,160 Speaker 1: to go lost because teams. Usually QUIT and I Use 1049 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,839 Speaker 1: golden state as the EXAMPLE because i feel that it's 1050 00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: an example that most of us have seen and we. 1051 00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: SAW it, i mean they quit in a game Against 1052 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,239 Speaker 1: the rockets during, their series knowing it's, not ours we 1053 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: need our guys for game six. And seven there aren't 1054 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: a lot of teams down nine that would still be 1055 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 1: having their guys. Out THERE and i think because of 1056 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 1: the team makeup that they are where you don't have 1057 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,319 Speaker 1: a super superstar that you're putting. At risk and it's 1058 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,279 Speaker 1: not meant To Disrespect, tyre's halliburton but there is a, 1059 00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,279 Speaker 1: team mentality there is something going after that a lot 1060 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,239 Speaker 1: of teams down at that point would just say we'll 1061 00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,879 Speaker 1: go get them the. Next Game and indiana is not, 1062 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,880 Speaker 1: like that and we've seen it now in three straight 1063 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 1: series in. These playoffs but there's there are a handful 1064 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,439 Speaker 1: Of teams alden that you know would have just quit 1065 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: and said we'll just go get them in. 1066 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 2: Game, two, well definitely and not. At All rick callot 1067 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,000 Speaker 2: of teams will. Not quit rick's not. Gonna quit he's 1068 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 2: not pulling. Them off but at the, same time that 1069 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,960 Speaker 2: was one of the THINGS that i liked About. The 1070 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,440 Speaker 2: knicks also is the fact that they played all. The minutes, 1071 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 2: but unfortunately and this at this stage in, the playoffs 1072 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 2: you got to play more than seven, Eight.

From over if it's two 1515 01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:55,720 Speaker 1: to One and Minnesota takes game two coming Up on, 1516 01:20:55,960 --> 01:21:00,760 Speaker 1: monday Night then game five holding, an ANIMAL and i 1517 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 1: don't think You'll see game five officiated like you saw 1518 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:03,519 Speaker 1: games one. 1519 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,080 Speaker 2: And two you are, absolutely right because that best out 1520 01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,720 Speaker 2: of three that's when. Everything starts and so, to me 1521 01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,719 Speaker 2: this was a statement game that needed to be made 1522 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:16,639 Speaker 2: By The, minnesota timberwolves and they've. Done that now we've 1523 01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,719 Speaker 2: seen crazier things HAPPEN in. Nba basketball because that, THREE 1524 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,599 Speaker 2: ball i doubt they come back and. Win It so 1525 01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 2: i'm just Gonna say minnesota is gonna win, this one 1526 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 2: and then, second game, You know, game four you know 1527 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,559 Speaker 2: they probably gonna come out with the. Same energy hopefully 1528 01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 2: they get the same kind of whistle they've, been getting 1529 01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,040 Speaker 2: because the one that was, so significant significant, to me 1530 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,200 Speaker 2: Was When rudy gobad went up on a double team 1531 01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,760 Speaker 2: and deflected the Ball From Shay gilgess alexander and went 1532 01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,360 Speaker 2: down and got Fired By SHAY and i, was, like 1533 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 2: man if that Was In, oklahoma city that would have been. 1534 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:55,439 Speaker 2: A foul and so it was really impressive Seeing that 1535 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 2: nas red two of two. From Behind the arkis got 1536 01:21:58,320 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 2: ten As Just. 1537 01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,160 Speaker 1: Julius randall but as You heard Steve S anthony edwards 1538 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 1: twenty Points for minnesota as they are up thirty one at, 1539 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 1: the half and this was a twenty. Point game Not 1540 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,759 Speaker 1: Rule oklahoma city out. Of it come back in maybe 1541 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,719 Speaker 1: going an eight to two run to start the. Second 1542 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 1: half it's fourteen, point deficit get it down, to twelve 1543 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:23,880 Speaker 1: then then it's. A ballgame thirty. One points the first 1544 01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 1: three minutes will be pretty crucial on how it. Plays 1545 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 1: OUT but i think then at that point we'll know 1546 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:29,439 Speaker 1: how this game is going. 1547 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 2: To go, Oh DEFINITELY like, I said minnesota should win. 1548 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 2: This one, don't better? They better we don't we up, 1549 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:39,519 Speaker 2: Thirty one we don't need to Pull The. Boston celtics 1550 01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:43,280 Speaker 2: we don't. Need threes quick into the. Shot clock at 1551 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 2: the end of the shot clock is, one thing but 1552 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,240 Speaker 2: we don't.

Entirely worse the game one happens, to you 1560 01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,720 Speaker 1: but then when it happens on consecutive games in front 1561 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:15,599 Speaker 1: of the, home fans that's a. Different Story the knicks 1562 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 1: nothing to brag about right now as they're down two 1563 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: to ohero IN their, O two i, should say in 1564 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 1: their series With, the Pacers with game Three, in indianapolis by, 1565 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:25,599 Speaker 1: the way what a Day in Indie tomorrow indy five 1566 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,240 Speaker 1: hundred and then You have game three With the Nix. 1567 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,600 Speaker 1: And pacers is that series over?

Every night it just puts so much 1613 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: more undue pressure. On them as a team and so 1614 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,639 Speaker 1: they have to. Combat that THAT'S why, i say Going, 1615 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 1: to indiana they're not going to see all that except For. 1616 01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,599 Speaker 1: PROBABLY spike i. GET it i get what. YOU'RE saying 1617 01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 1: i just don't think THAT they i don't think that 1618 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:08,640 Speaker 1: they folded under pressure because of Because Of ben Stiller And. 1619 01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,240 Speaker 1: TIMOTHY shallome i found that THEY they i felt that 1620 01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,559 Speaker 1: they let the foot off the gas and they weren't 1621 01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:18,559 Speaker 1: maybe defending as hard as they should or because they 1622 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 1: felt that the game and everything did have to go 1623 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 1: Right for Indiana in game one for them to, win 1624 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: it and it just happened to. Do so but they were, 1625 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:29,880 Speaker 1: unable to, you know take put the final death nail 1626 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 1: in and end. That game they were unable to. Do 1627 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,920 Speaker 1: That and i'm wondering why they were able to do 1628 01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 1: that or weren't able to. Do THAT and i don't 1629 01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 1: think it's because they they saw celebrities in the crowd 1630 01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 1: and felt. THAT pressure i felt that they felt that 1631 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:45,600 Speaker 1: they had the game wrapped up and that there was 1632 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,720 Speaker 1: no Way that indiana was going to. Come back and 1633 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 1: they did make buckets and you, know too we're at, 1634 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,599 Speaker 1: One point towns made a BUCKET and I, thought okay 1635 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:54,599 Speaker 1: well that's going to be be. A wrap that's the 1636 01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 1: that's the bucket. They needed but when you saw they 1637 01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 1: performed laden overtime with turnovers and misshots and even Last 1638 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: night brunton's shot when they were, Down three they've been in. 1639 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,200 Speaker 1: These games they just have been unable to. Close it 1640 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: and that's and they haven't been making the plays to 1641 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 1: close out. 1642 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,640 Speaker 2: These games, Oh, yeah well the secondary part OF what 1643 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:16,000 Speaker 2: i was saying was also coaching and. Clock management that. 1644 01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,640 Speaker 2: Was bad that was horrific clock. Mind management so, oh 1645 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,240 Speaker 2: oh here comes. A comeback so. 1646 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:27,200 Speaker 1: Seven four, fifty two twenty two, Point, game hey it 1647 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 1: can happen only IN. The nba are you down thirty 1648 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 1: and it's like. 1649 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,519 Speaker 2: It's nothing so the same way they got the thirty, 1650 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:34,960 Speaker 2: point lead they can lose the thirty. 1651 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:38,559 Speaker 1: Point leads so my point about, this game thirty is 1652 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,200 Speaker 1: a lot different. Than twenty if they have this run 1653 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,080 Speaker 1: here and it was a twenty, point game now it's, 1654 01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 1: only twelve but it's still at least a twenty two, 1655 01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,680 Speaker 1: point Game where, i'm sorry it's still a lot to. 1656 01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,160 Speaker 2: Come back it's, a lot AND so I believe minnesota 1657 01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:53,760 Speaker 2: is still going to win. This game because if, they 1658 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 2: don't it's. A wrap there's no way you lose a 1659 01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:57,920 Speaker 2: thirty point lead and you're, gonna think, you go you 1660 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 2: should cancel game Four. IF minnesota i said that earlier to, 1661 01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:03,760 Speaker 2: MY brother i called him. DOING break i, was, like 1662 01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:05,320 Speaker 2: yo if. They lose, he's, like. 1663 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,680 Speaker 1: No they're not going. To lose, I'M like i. Believe you. 1664 01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:10,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, so anyway getting back TO what i, was 1665 01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:15,000 Speaker 2: saying the coaching was a major major issue for them 1666 01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 2: in game one because you should not lose that game 1667 01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 2: of fourteen two minutes. Forty seconds you got to figure 1668 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 2: out a way to, get something and they didn't need 1669 01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 2: to score the one PLAY when i think It was 1670 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,400 Speaker 2: cat that scored, the LAYUP and i, was like wait, 1671 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,479 Speaker 2: a minute you don't need a basket. Right now just 1672 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:33,679 Speaker 2: run the. Clock out why do you need a? Basket 1673 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:35,840 Speaker 2: now you stop. The, clock now they come down and 1674 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:39,439 Speaker 2: scored three on you come, on now, that's. 1675 01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: Well they would have hit. Free throws they only made 1676 01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:44,320 Speaker 1: two or four down, the stoe but ten seconds would 1677 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,400 Speaker 1: have ran off. The clock time is your friend in, That, 1678 01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:52,760 Speaker 1: MOMENT yeah i. HAVE BASKETS i, I agree, I agree 1679 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,599 Speaker 1: but he also went one of two from, the, line 1680 01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:57,400 Speaker 1: yeah and then went one. For. 1681 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:02,919 Speaker 2: Two YEAH SO i i baad basketball. 1682 01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,880 Speaker 1: When it's, that early especially IN. The nba i'm not 1683 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,719 Speaker 1: as worried. About TIME but i don't think that's even 1684 01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,680 Speaker 1: the argument that we're. HAVING here i think that the 1685 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:19,120 Speaker 1: argument is how do You make? Indiana quit and they couldn't. 1686 01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:21,640 Speaker 1: Do it they couldn't do it via. The scoreboard they 1687 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,519 Speaker 1: couldn't do it with, their defense because whatever they, Were 1688 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 1: doing indiana still felt that they had. A chance and 1689 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,400 Speaker 1: when you see how, they've Responded the knicks came Out 1690 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,240 Speaker 1: in game one and had a lead in the overtime 1691 01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,120 Speaker 1: and then let it slide away And the pacers again 1692 01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,799 Speaker 1: were the ones, making plays and then down the Stretch 1693 01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 1: the knicks couldn't figure out any offense to get, a 1694 01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 1: bucket a little like even. LAST night i know they 1695 01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:48,559 Speaker 1: cut it to one on the Pass to josh harded, 1696 01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,439 Speaker 1: the bucket but when they're down three with fourteen, SECONDS 1697 01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: left i think they Felt that indiana was going to 1698 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 1: follow them and do the foul game the rest of. 1699 01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:59,080 Speaker 1: THE way i think That's why brunson chucked up. That 1700 01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:02,960 Speaker 1: three and then it's hard to Argue When jalen brunton 1701 01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:06,240 Speaker 1: gets a look at, a shot even if he put up. 1702 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,720 Speaker 1: A BRICK but i think that's why he pulled up 1703 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:12,360 Speaker 1: at that point, down three with what twelve seconds after, 1704 01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:12,879 Speaker 1: THE game. 1705 01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 2: I would have still gotten. Something good and if they 1706 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 2: put me on, the line make the free throws and 1707 01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:20,720 Speaker 2: then we just played a file game and see. What 1708 01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 2: happens maybe they, missed so but here's something. That happened 1709 01:30:25,400 --> 01:30:29,240 Speaker 2: and it goes since we've been, playing BASKETBALL because i 1710 01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:33,160 Speaker 2: remember being on teams and this used to be. The 1711 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 2: talk we'd look around, And, say okay we have them beat. 1712 01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,439 Speaker 2: At disposition players, do that we have them beat at. 1713 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 2: Disposition coaching we have the. Better coach i'm telling you. 1714 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,559 Speaker 2: Right now indiana looked at that matchup, And, said okay 1715 01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:55,639 Speaker 2: we're winning the matchup with Coaches done Haliburton, And brunson 1716 01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 2: we're gonna win. That one that's what they say in. Their, 1717 01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,280 Speaker 2: MIND pascal i play, WITH og i know how. HE 1718 01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:05,760 Speaker 2: plays i have an advantage over HIM because i was 1719 01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 2: the better Player. In toronto so it's that kind of 1720 01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:11,400 Speaker 2: mindset that's going on. 1721 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 1: As WELL and i think for us we, would, Say 1722 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:18,720 Speaker 1: Okay rick carlisle is an advantage over anybody that's left the. 1723 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:23,480 Speaker 1: PLAYOFF huge i think on paper we Would say brunson's 1724 01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:28,479 Speaker 1: the advantage at. That position The way halliburton is playing, 1725 01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:32,799 Speaker 1: RIGHT now i think that you can make. The ARGUMENT 1726 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,800 Speaker 1: but i do think that a majority of us Would 1727 01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:39,160 Speaker 1: Think jalen brunson is. The advantage whether he is or. 1728 01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:41,599 Speaker 1: Actually isn't maybe we're seeing, play OUT but i think 1729 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:43,559 Speaker 1: That THAT'S but i know what you're saying With. The 1730 01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,280 Speaker 1: Pacers the, pacers believe whether it's true or, not true 1731 01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:48,680 Speaker 1: they believe that they have an advantage at all. These 1732 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 1: Spots miles turner was really good for them last night, 1733 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:55,360 Speaker 1: As well yes. He was he made some big Shot 1734 01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,519 Speaker 1: like halliburn only had what fifteen points?

Say face it just, feels, like Though 1797 01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:17,160 Speaker 4: That oklahoma city is in control of the series in a. 1798 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:22,120 Speaker 4: WEIRD way i do give this blowout win some skepticism 1799 01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,240 Speaker 4: because part of me thinks the thunder got a little 1800 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,880 Speaker 4: casual and put their, you know took their feet off 1801 01:35:28,880 --> 01:35:31,599 Speaker 4: the pedal a. Little BIT that i hesitate to think 1802 01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:35,080 Speaker 4: that this means much beyond, you Know the wolves are 1803 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:36,760 Speaker 4: going to get. A Win but game four is a. 1804 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,720 Speaker 4: Blank slate but this is what sometimes happens in the 1805 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:41,920 Speaker 4: playoffs when you have a comfortable lead and you're a really, 1806 01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:45,120 Speaker 4: dominant team sometimes you let your guard down and on 1807 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:47,800 Speaker 4: the other opposite end of the spectrum is in your 1808 01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:50,720 Speaker 4: face no. Two deficit you know that maybe it's not 1809 01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:53,720 Speaker 4: technically must win because you have two, other games but 1810 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,360 Speaker 4: because no team IN the nba history has ever overcome 1811 01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,240 Speaker 4: and you know a three to zero series death that 1812 01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:03,480 Speaker 4: they going out in a, Game, Three. 1813 01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 1: HEY mark i mean we. 1814 01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:11,080 Speaker 2: Saw it but, TO me i believe that this this 1815 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:13,760 Speaker 2: series is gonna come down to. Seven games, YOU know 1816 01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:16,880 Speaker 2: i think everybody's gonna hold, home court which, you, know 1817 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,480 Speaker 2: okay see did the first two games In. Now minnesota 1818 01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:23,439 Speaker 2: because this to me speaks more value because of how 1819 01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,960 Speaker 2: dominant they are being, right NOW and i think it's 1820 01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,920 Speaker 2: going to continue as long as they play. At home 1821 01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:32,160 Speaker 2: so who do you have Winning a game seven in, 1822 01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:34,120 Speaker 2: THAT moment i. 1823 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,519 Speaker 4: Would Pick, the thunder, you know they would have home. 1824 01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 4: Court advantage They won game seven Against. The nuggets i'm 1825 01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,720 Speaker 4: with you in this sense That the wolves aren't a. 1826 01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:47,200 Speaker 4: Pushover team they got here for. Reasons Beyond the lakers 1827 01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:49,920 Speaker 4: didn't have any interior defenders and the worst didn't have 1828 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,960 Speaker 4: A Healthy steph curry they are a legitimate Team With 1829 01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:56,240 Speaker 4: anthony edwards raising this game to, another level very key, 1830 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:59,599 Speaker 4: role Players with jane McDaniels And nas Reed and mike 1831 01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:04,000 Speaker 4: kN And julius randall being very good and kind of 1832 01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,160 Speaker 4: overcoming some of this playoff teamons that he Showed In. 1833 01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:09,080 Speaker 4: NEW york i just feel like the star power and 1834 01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:12,439 Speaker 4: the depth and the defensive versatility That the, thunder have 1835 01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:17,479 Speaker 4: there's such a division that really the toughest opponent That 1836 01:37:17,479 --> 01:37:20,400 Speaker 4: the thunder are going to be facing. Is themselves, so 1837 01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:24,160 Speaker 4: again full Credit, to MINNESOTA but i do add some 1838 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:27,519 Speaker 4: additional factors here on why this game's. SO lopsided, I Mean, 1839 01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:31,120 Speaker 4: Shay godess Alexander And jael williams having shot the, ball 1840 01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:34,360 Speaker 4: well they both made a lot, of TURNOVERS and i 1841 01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:37,400 Speaker 4: feel like those are kind of two low hanging fruit 1842 01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,559 Speaker 4: developments that they would be able to rectify so that 1843 01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:40,960 Speaker 4: it's not. 1844 01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:44,439 Speaker 1: As lopsided mark madeIn our nba inside are joining us 1845 01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:47,000 Speaker 1: Here On Fox.

Score agami i'm not sure if we've ever, 1848 01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:58,360 Speaker 1: gotten that at least especially in a game three Of 1849 01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:00,000 Speaker 1: A western conference final. 1850 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,720 Speaker 4: Her scores For the clipper games in. The Nineties. 1851 01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:07,240 Speaker 1: Man olden did not take kindly. 1852 01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:12,400 Speaker 4: To that, i'm, sorry geez you're over. 1853 01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:14,000 Speaker 1: The phone i'm the one that's got to deal with him. 1854 01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,640 Speaker 1: In Person now i'm gonna have to deal with. The 1855 01:38:16,680 --> 01:38:18,559 Speaker 1: repercussions it's. 1856 01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:22,120 Speaker 4: Huh, Ready, wise wise we're. 1857 01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:24,680 Speaker 1: Gonna Get to we're gonna get To the Pacers and 1858 01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 1: knicks in. A second i, am, sensing though you Love 1859 01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:31,080 Speaker 1: the thunder as a team and where they are at. 1860 01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:36,440 Speaker 1: This point my question is WITH s g eight now THE. 1861 01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:40,479 Speaker 1: The mvp OLDEN and i had a conversation earlier ABOUT 1862 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:44,559 Speaker 1: the mvp award obviously handed out This Week Shake gildess alexander. 1863 01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:48,120 Speaker 1: Wins it are you COOL with sga BEING the mvp of? 1864 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,719 Speaker 1: This season how do you view The League's Most valuable? 1865 01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:55,320 Speaker 4: Player, Award yeah i'm FINE with sja winning. THE award 1866 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:58,280 Speaker 4: i would have been Fine with nikole winning the award, 1867 01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,559 Speaker 4: As WELL but i think they're a few, differentiators here 1868 01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 4: and it has nothing to do with voter fatigue or, 1869 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:07,719 Speaker 4: You Know nikole jokic ALREADY, won mvp Now it's. SGA's 1870 01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:09,880 Speaker 4: turn i think it's just more of the fact that 1871 01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 4: he was playing at such a. High level he improved. 1872 01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,639 Speaker 4: A lot he's empowering his TEAM and, i know by, 1873 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,320 Speaker 4: the Way the thunder had the best record in the 1874 01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:21,479 Speaker 4: In The. Western conference so that, being, SAID though i 1875 01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:25,280 Speaker 4: don't think it's a PREREQUISITE that mvp players always have 1876 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:29,559 Speaker 4: to be on winning. BASKETBALL teams i think almost you 1877 01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,920 Speaker 4: look at it, in reverse you remove, that player what 1878 01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:35,720 Speaker 4: do what does that team? Look LIKE and i think that, 1879 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,479 Speaker 4: you know this is such a thin Margin between nikole 1880 01:39:39,560 --> 01:39:43,160 Speaker 4: Jokicch And Shake golds alexander that you remove any of, 1881 01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:47,639 Speaker 4: those players they're obviously incredibly. Different teams, you know they 1882 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:52,040 Speaker 4: probably aren't playoff contending teams or probably lottery. Contending TEAMS 1883 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:55,840 Speaker 4: but i Think where sga deserves some extra. Credit here 1884 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:59,400 Speaker 4: and he's not just the best scorer IN the nba, 1885 01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,840 Speaker 4: this season and he is an important factor And Why 1886 01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:07,280 Speaker 4: janel williams became a very consistent, secondary score why they 1887 01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,800 Speaker 4: have so much, you know pick and roll Chemistry With 1888 01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:14,599 Speaker 4: chet Holmgren In. Isaiah hartenstein and so he's not an, 1889 01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:18,320 Speaker 4: elite defender but he's been a better. Team DEFENDER but 1890 01:40:18,360 --> 01:40:22,439 Speaker 4: i think it's more about his playmaking in addition to. 1891 01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:26,880 Speaker 4: His efficiency, But Again, nikola jokicic he's. Very deserving if he, 1892 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:29,719 Speaker 4: got it, IT'S fine i think for what. IT'S worth 1893 01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:34,040 Speaker 4: i did pull a few assistant coaches BEFORE the mvp award, 1894 01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:37,120 Speaker 4: was announced and small sample size, grant you but all 1895 01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:41,200 Speaker 4: four of them ALL said sga would be, their pick 1896 01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:42,840 Speaker 4: and none of them were With, the thunder none of 1897 01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:45,880 Speaker 4: them were With. The nuggets but at the same breath, they, 1898 01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:49,640 Speaker 4: Said Yeah nikola jokic is very. Well deserving it's just 1899 01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:54,479 Speaker 4: the race between those two is so Narrow that i'm 1900 01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:58,200 Speaker 4: having to kind of split hairs to figure out which 1901 01:40:58,200 --> 01:40:59,320 Speaker 4: one separates from. 1902 01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,400 Speaker 1: The Other, Mark, OKAY. 1903 01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,760 Speaker 2: Man i don't know how to pose, this question but here, 1904 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:12,719 Speaker 2: it is the man had a better season this year 1905 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:13,680 Speaker 2: THAN his. 1906 01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:18,480 Speaker 1: Mvp years how do we justify? That, alone. 1907 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:24,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. Fair, question well let's eliminate one of the seasons when, 1908 01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,280 Speaker 4: You Know joel embiid was disqualified basically because of, his, 1909 01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:30,800 Speaker 4: Injuries right but even the, OTHER seasons i think it 1910 01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:35,360 Speaker 4: has more to do with, you know the field, was 1911 01:41:35,400 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 4: good don't get, Me wrong it's just that the, race 1912 01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:41,799 Speaker 4: here it was clear between HIM and SGA because sga 1913 01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:45,400 Speaker 4: was really dominant where in other years it was a 1914 01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:47,720 Speaker 4: handful of other players that had, a case whether It, Was, 1915 01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:53,599 Speaker 4: Embiid Jannahmsekumpo, Jason Tatum. LUKA dacic i think that's what's. 1916 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:57,560 Speaker 4: Different here no, Doubt Again, nikole jokic nothing should be 1917 01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,559 Speaker 4: held against him as far as how his season's. Work 1918 01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,240 Speaker 4: is to, your point he. Played better it shouldn't have 1919 01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:06,920 Speaker 4: anything to do with voter fatigue. OR narratives i think 1920 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:10,559 Speaker 4: it's more of an award that reflects the positive things 1921 01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:15,440 Speaker 4: About Shake gygess alexander than's certainly anything Negative. About nikolejokic 1922 01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:19,479 Speaker 4: and just because technically the votes were a lop side 1923 01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:22,360 Speaker 4: when it, CAME in i think it's very telling that 1924 01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:26,760 Speaker 4: for they had the exact same number of Votes uh 1925 01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:31,360 Speaker 4: nikolekic had for second place VOTES that sga had for 1926 01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:34,519 Speaker 4: first AND that i think is revealing that this was 1927 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,920 Speaker 4: a very tough decision for voters to, come by and, 1928 01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:39,680 Speaker 4: you know even though most of them came to the, 1929 01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:43,720 Speaker 4: same decision there were a lot of complicating factors that 1930 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:46,000 Speaker 4: put them in a position to really. 1931 01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:50,080 Speaker 1: Scrutinize everything also shows it was a two horse race 1932 01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:53,479 Speaker 1: and that.

JOINING us i do want to get to 1935 01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:00,840 Speaker 1: a couple of things outside of, these plays but we 1936 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,680 Speaker 1: haven't Talked To pacers. Nicks Yet with indiana up To 1937 01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:06,240 Speaker 1: Oh Is new york out of this series is the 1938 01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:06,840 Speaker 1: scene Shifts. 1939 01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:11,240 Speaker 4: To, indianapolis, technically NO if i had, to Guess the 1940 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,799 Speaker 4: pacers win this series because they're they're firmly, in control 1941 01:43:14,840 --> 01:43:20,200 Speaker 4: they have. More depth no team technically has over ever Overcome. 1942 01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:24,040 Speaker 4: A no two, series deficit specifically when they have lost 1943 01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:27,880 Speaker 4: those two games on. The road But, the knicks, They're resilient, 1944 01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:30,840 Speaker 4: they scrap they. FIGHT hard i just feel like even 1945 01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:34,640 Speaker 4: though they're starting five is better on paper Than the 1946 01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,120 Speaker 4: pacers starting five. To One kyris halliburn has raised his 1947 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,960 Speaker 4: game to. Another level their Chemistry With pascal siakam has. 1948 01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:45,439 Speaker 4: Been great and they just have. More players, you know 1949 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:49,360 Speaker 4: they have a ten to eleven player rotation that averages 1950 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,160 Speaker 4: double digit minutes And the. Knicks don't now to, be 1951 01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:54,719 Speaker 4: clear that Doesn't mean, i'm saying you, Know What, tom 1952 01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:57,599 Speaker 4: tibodea he needs to not play a starter so, many 1953 01:43:57,640 --> 01:43:59,600 Speaker 4: minutes and he needs to play more. BENCH guys i 1954 01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 4: think has more to do with what's available on. His 1955 01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:05,760 Speaker 4: roster it's the right play to play as star as 1956 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,240 Speaker 4: every year minutes because they're better players and they don't 1957 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:11,479 Speaker 4: have a lot of great. Bench GUYS so i think it'll. 1958 01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:14,759 Speaker 4: Be competitive game three If the knicks win, makes SENSE 1959 01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:17,680 Speaker 4: but i don't think it dramatically changes the complexion of. 1960 01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:19,640 Speaker 4: THE series i Think the pacers wind up winning this 1961 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,879 Speaker 4: one in. Six, Games well. 1962 01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:24,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go way away from the playoffs, right now 1963 01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,200 Speaker 2: because you know we started the show. 1964 01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:31,840 Speaker 1: With this You know i'm a big. Conspiracy guy so. 1965 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:34,040 Speaker 4: Part two So. 1966 01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:37,920 Speaker 2: The dallas Mavericks Trade luca doncz TO The la lakers 1967 01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 2: and have a one point eight chance winning, the lottery 1968 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:43,320 Speaker 2: and they win. 1969 01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:44,879 Speaker 1: The lottery talk. 1970 01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:50,960 Speaker 4: To, me, well, well LOOK old i wasn't at the, 1971 01:44:51,439 --> 01:44:54,360 Speaker 4: lottery Room but i've been at the lottery room for 1972 01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:57,479 Speaker 4: a number of years During the. Lakers REBUILDING and i 1973 01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:01,799 Speaker 4: will say this THAT the nba does fix. These things 1974 01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:08,080 Speaker 4: it requires a massive underhaul of crazy covert operations that 1975 01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 4: goes over. Everyone's eyes because here here's why hear. Me 1976 01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:16,800 Speaker 4: out there are, league officials there's team officials from all those. 1977 01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:20,240 Speaker 4: Fourteen teams there's about ten reporters in the room that. 1978 01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:24,880 Speaker 4: Witness it there's an accounting firm that's independent that monitors 1979 01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:28,120 Speaker 4: everything as far as like the ping pong balls actually 1980 01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,800 Speaker 4: have a toy company that before the lottery, takes place 1981 01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:34,920 Speaker 4: they make sure that the dimensions are right for each ping, 1982 01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:37,280 Speaker 4: pong ball so it's not a, you KNOW an nba 1983 01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:40,280 Speaker 4: version of. The flategate, you know they have someone with 1984 01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:44,080 Speaker 4: a stop watch with their back turned that times how 1985 01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:46,200 Speaker 4: long the ball is in the machine before they, hit 1986 01:45:46,280 --> 01:45:49,880 Speaker 4: stop and again their back. Is turned so there's just 1987 01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:55,080 Speaker 4: so many checks and balances that, You know i'm, not above, 1988 01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:59,400 Speaker 4: you know being a company guy and just believing what's told. 1989 01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:03,599 Speaker 4: To me but and under that, SPECIFIC circumstance i don't 1990 01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:05,720 Speaker 4: think the lottery is rick because if, it was there 1991 01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:09,000 Speaker 4: would be just too much first hand evidence that would 1992 01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:11,200 Speaker 4: get out and, you know yours truly as well as 1993 01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:13,320 Speaker 4: others that have been in, the room would have been 1994 01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:13,640 Speaker 4: able to. 1995 01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,840 Speaker 1: Document it i'll say this On the mavericks lottery win 1996 01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:20,639 Speaker 1: because Of The luca trada did not want them. TO win. I, didn't, 1997 01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:26,320 Speaker 1: yeah YES but i have felt strongly about this for 1998 01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:29,080 Speaker 1: years and years and years THAT the nba would be 1999 01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,840 Speaker 1: better if, teams eight nine to ten eleven in the 2000 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:36,280 Speaker 1: conference would get, those players because if you have the 2001 01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:38,639 Speaker 1: worst team In the East or west getting these star 2002 01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:42,479 Speaker 1: players or these. GENERATIONAL players i know it's, not fair 2003 01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,360 Speaker 1: but sometimes talent goes wasted in these in these teams 2004 01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,160 Speaker 1: with these. Awful teams if you put them on a 2005 01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:50,080 Speaker 1: team that is a thirty, WIN team i think it's 2006 01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:53,800 Speaker 1: better for. Your League now dallas IS and i know 2007 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:56,760 Speaker 1: they made the, playing tournament but if it would Have 2008 01:46:56,760 --> 01:46:58,960 Speaker 1: been dallas or any other team in that, same spot 2009 01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,080 Speaker 1: they now become more of a formidable, playoff OPPONENT and 2010 01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,559 Speaker 1: i think that's better for the league to have those 2011 01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:07,160 Speaker 1: types of players going to. Those TEAMS so i wasn't 2012 01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:10,040 Speaker 1: Happy with dallas getting, the pick but IT'S why i 2013 01:47:10,040 --> 01:47:12,240 Speaker 1: don't think there should be a. WEIGHTED lottery i think 2014 01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:16,360 Speaker 1: the weighted lottery, encourages tanking and they've tried to change, 2015 01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,200 Speaker 1: the odds but teams. Still tank if everybody had the 2016 01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:21,200 Speaker 1: same amount of odds like it used to be when 2017 01:47:21,200 --> 01:47:24,400 Speaker 1: you only had seven envelopes in there are, eight envelopes 2018 01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:27,240 Speaker 1: then it would be a completely different, ball GAME and 2019 01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:28,439 Speaker 1: i actually think it would be better for. 2020 01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:31,360 Speaker 4: The. LEAGUE yeah, i, mean look it's a fair point 2021 01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,719 Speaker 4: that You outline dan AND. The nba they're always tweaking 2022 01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:36,759 Speaker 4: THIS because i do want to have that fine line 2023 01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:42,680 Speaker 4: of reducing tanking and giving, teams rebuilding struggling teams a 2024 01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:46,760 Speaker 4: chance to actually rebuild so that there's more parody in. 2025 01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:49,639 Speaker 4: The league, you know the latest tweak as far as 2026 01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:53,080 Speaker 4: the weighted, lottery odds blame it all In the philadelphia 2027 01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:55,880 Speaker 4: seventy six ers when they just, you know milk the 2028 01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,760 Speaker 4: system with the. Truck process that's really what the precursor 2029 01:47:59,880 --> 01:48:02,639 Speaker 4: was with why they adjusted the odds in the. First 2030 01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:07,320 Speaker 4: place so that's, what happened and nothing is ever going 2031 01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:10,680 Speaker 4: to get fully eliminated. With TANKING but i think when 2032 01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,040 Speaker 4: you look at the, big picture it has at least 2033 01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:16,360 Speaker 4: reduced it with the weighted, lottery ODDS the d, season 2034 01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:19,599 Speaker 4: tournament the play. In tournament, you know there's all these 2035 01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:23,040 Speaker 4: incentives that they're trying to give teams to half so 2036 01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,800 Speaker 4: that it's not. As pervasive doesn't mean it's, fully SOLVABLE 2037 01:48:27,040 --> 01:48:29,920 Speaker 4: but i think the NBA's perspective will, be, like look 2038 01:48:30,320 --> 01:48:32,679 Speaker 4: they had a one point nine percent chance of landing. 2039 01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:35,160 Speaker 4: On it it's very, you know slim for that. To 2040 01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:37,840 Speaker 4: happen it, did happen but there's a reason why they've 2041 01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:38,400 Speaker 4: waited it. 2042 01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,160 Speaker 1: That Way cooper Flag in dallas is much better for 2043 01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:44,280 Speaker 1: the League Than cooper Flag and charlotte OR, in dc 2044 01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 1: even though we, may, think, hey good Revitalize. THE wizards i, just, 2045 01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:51,080 Speaker 1: yeah anyway final question before we let. You Go doc 2046 01:48:51,200 --> 01:48:53,400 Speaker 1: rivers says he Talks with Giannis And tenna koopo all. 2047 01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:55,640 Speaker 1: The time there's supposed to be a meeting with the 2048 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:59,040 Speaker 1: sides meeting this. Past week some of the honest talks 2049 01:48:59,080 --> 01:49:02,000 Speaker 1: seem to kind of die down. A bit giannis has 2050 01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,639 Speaker 1: been now active on. Social media what do you hear 2051 01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:06,240 Speaker 1: About the bucks forwards future In The. 2052 01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:09,120 Speaker 4: Bruce, city yeah it's going to be a little Quiet, 2053 01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:11,639 Speaker 4: Now dan but in about, A month i think BEFORE 2054 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,280 Speaker 4: The nba draft there's going to be more talks because 2055 01:49:14,720 --> 01:49:16,960 Speaker 4: there's more, you know. LEVERAGE play i want to be 2056 01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:20,479 Speaker 4: surprised if he's traded before the draft Because the bucks 2057 01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:24,280 Speaker 4: could then use that opportunity to hoard. Some picks if it, 2058 01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:27,280 Speaker 4: DOESN'T happen i think it'll happen shortly after free. AGENCY 2059 01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:30,680 Speaker 4: begins i think that at Some point yiannis will make 2060 01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,519 Speaker 4: it clear, that he, you know he wants to be 2061 01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:36,280 Speaker 4: traded as opposed to just being. Open minded but you, Know, 2062 01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:39,680 Speaker 4: what dan Even if giannas doesn't articulate that in, THE 2063 01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:42,320 Speaker 4: meetings i Think the bucks should do, that Anyway, because 2064 01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:47,760 Speaker 4: giannis as atacompo, generational talent was IN the, mvp discussions, 2065 01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:50,519 Speaker 4: you know as a, fringe candidate but it lost in 2066 01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:53,280 Speaker 4: the first round for three. Consecutive Years And damian lillard 2067 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:55,759 Speaker 4: has a lot of questions about his health. Next season 2068 01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,480 Speaker 4: so if it Wasn't for, DAME'S injury i could understand 2069 01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:01,840 Speaker 4: From the, bucks perspective you, know what do whatever you 2070 01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,400 Speaker 4: can to keep. You HONEST but i feel like it's run. 2071 01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:06,720 Speaker 4: Its course and that's no Disrespect to giannis. At all 2072 01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,599 Speaker 4: it's just more of. The circumstances they're better off cutting 2073 01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:11,960 Speaker 4: than their ross, is now trying to get some pieces 2074 01:50:11,960 --> 01:50:14,439 Speaker 4: that set them up short and. Long TERM and i 2075 01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,640 Speaker 4: think it's going, to happen whether it's the day of, 2076 01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:19,320 Speaker 4: the draft day before, the draft or shortly after. 2077 01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,160 Speaker 1: Free Agency He's, mark medina find him On exit mark 2078 01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:25,639 Speaker 1: G Underscore MEDINA Our nba insider Here On Fox, Sports, 2079 01:50:25,720 --> 01:50:29,000 Speaker 1: radio mark we.
