00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,200

00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: Let that sink in. So so who's really you know,

Speaker 1: Huh? No joke, Like I went and saw you know,

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: the comedian Joe Coy Jo Joe.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, went and saw Joe live last

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: night in San Jose and oh my god, aphrom, if

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: I could tell you, uh, in all forms of live entertainment,

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: this might be one of the best shows I've ever

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: seen in my entire life.

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: No joke.

36
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: I mean the energy that this man put out there,

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: and and it wasn't Mother's Day related.

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: This is just big part of his bit.

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, to borrow a line that he

40
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: spoke to a sixteen year old who was in the crowd,

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: to sort of borrow even what you just said, Uh,

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: without moms, none of us would be here.

43
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: So clean your damn room.

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: Period, Okay, period, don't say no, don't know not later,

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: clean the damn room.

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: Okay.

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: Now with all that out of the way, okay, from

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: salam that out the way, Go ahead, brother, what I'm

49
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: waiting to go ahead?

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: What do you want to say? What you want to say?

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Come on, Lakers and six.

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: Let's go, come on, let it go, let it go,

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: let it go, Come on, brother, let it out.

54
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: Let's hear it. When you're.

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: One eighteenth psychic like I've been, I've been known to

56
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: be sometimes.

57
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Is that diagnosed?

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: By the way, did somebody times.

59
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Did that happen?

60
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: Like did you go somewhere and they're like, you are,

61
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: Let's see, your father's side of the family is from

62
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: this country, and your mother's side has this, and you

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: are also one eighteenth psychic.

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 3: Well that actually I'm a eighteenth psychic. So sometimes you know,

65
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: I get real clairvoyant and I could just see things

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: before they happened. Okay, And so I just had a notion.

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: I've been saying Lakers in six the whole time. I

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: am a Laker fan. You are a Golden State Warrior fan, Yes,

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: I am, And the Lakers just had a better team.

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: And I had mentioned that.

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Too, because I asked you that question.

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: But I mentioned that question before the series started, and

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: you said the Warriors had the better team and the

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: Lakers had the better matchup.

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no no no.

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: I didn't say that. I know this, I know this.

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I said, who's got the better team? You said, the

78
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: Warriors the better team, but the Lakers are the better matchup.

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: No, I said on paper, I said, on paper, the

80
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: Warriors have the better team. That's what I say. I

81
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: know exactly what I said on paper, and then I said,

82
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: in reality the time, that's all we have. No but

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 3: but what I'm saying. But I soon followed that up

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: with on paper, the Warriors have a better team, especially

85
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: with the champion coming off the championship. I said, but

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: in reality, the Lakers have a better matchup. They match

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 3: up better. So what does that tell you? That tells

88
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: you that they can give the Golden State Warriors more

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: problems than the Warriors can give them. That's it. But

90
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: it's right there. It's how many different starting lineups did

91
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: the Warriors have?

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see, was it three? I think it was?

93
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: Was it three or two?

94
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: Because well, who didn't start Game one because he was sick,

95
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: and so that was the Jamichael Green lineup right then

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: more into the Gary Payton the second lineup, and I

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: thought they stuck with that the rest away.

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: They have three different lineups. Okay, And when you start

99
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: doing that, you're looking for answers to the test. When

100
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers can come out with the same lineup except

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: for the last game, when they can just continually show

102
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: up and do what they do. That lets you know

103
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: right where the confidence lies with them. They just didn't

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: have an answer for the Lakers' size. Cavon Looney is

105
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 3: a tremendous talent. He's not gonna give you any points.

106
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna give you all the rebounds. But when someone

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 3: is there who can contest him for those rebounds, then

108
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: now you lose out. So you take Looney and you

109
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: take Draymond off the scoring board, and a lot of

110
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: that lands on Steph and Clay and Wiggins, and none

111
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: of them really in the series, really outside of Steph,

112
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: gave you anything. If you look at this last game,

113
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: I mean, this is abysmo brother you oh gosh, shoot people.

114
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: Two people for Golden State scored in double figures and

115
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 3: one of them came off the bench.

116
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, I think he's like their ninth

117
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: He's not eighth or ninth best player.

118
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephencenzo. Stephencenzo, he was.

119
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: And even Steph, uh, you know, low percentage game for him.

120
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: I would describe the whole series for Steph as a

121
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: very He had I thought a good series. He was

122
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: very good facilitator in the series. He didn't shoot the

123
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: ball well. Nobody did. And the only reason people didn't

124
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 2: point to Steph not shooting well is because Clay shot

125
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: even worse. Wiggins had a phenomenal Game five and then

126
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: you know, compromised. I thought in Game six, for sure,

127
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: he did not look comfortable with the with the injury.

128
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: Prior to that, he was just kind of, you know,

129
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: he floats, and that's Andrew Wiggins.

130
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Draymond had one really good game.

131
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: But I think your your analysis so on all this

132
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: is is absolutely spot on. Defensively, I watched the Lakers

133
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: do things to the Warriors that didn't happen to them

134
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: all year long. You know, Steph couldn't finish around the rim.

135
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: The length of the Lakers bothered them. All of that said,

136
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: you also got to a Game six and I just

137
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say about Klay Thompson's shot.

138
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: I don't even I don't know what to say. Those

139
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: were open shots, and they it felt like the more

140
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: he tried, the further they got from the rim, I mean,

141
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: hucking up air balls. By the time this thing got

142
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: to the second half, whole thing was a hot mess

143
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: for him. And you know that's I don't know, I mean,

144
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: it's you don't worry about his shot. But it wasn't

145
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: it wasn't there. It was not there in that series.

146
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson isn't the same Klay Thompson it was all

147
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 3: year though he wasn't. That is fine, Clay will always

148
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: be able to shoot. When you're looking at a player's talent,

149
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: you can't look singular. You cannot look singular. Klay Thompson

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: didn't help the Warriors win all of those championships by

151
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 3: just being a shooter.

152
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: No, he's not the defender.

153
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: He was their second best defender. Yes, yeah, okay, so

154
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: when you when it's Wiggins now, but when I'm when

155
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Klay Thompson not being Klay Thompson, this

156
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: is what I'm talking about. And when you have the

157
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: types of leg injuries back to back compounded like he's had,

158
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: you're going to lose something. You're not going to lose

159
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: your shot because even when when you're rehaving your leg,

160
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: you can go put up one hundred and two hundred

161
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 3: shots today it happens. But when you get off rhythm

162
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: right when you're working harder and harder on the defensive

163
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: end to no avail, it psychologically affects you for the

164
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: rest of your game because you're now feeling what we're

165
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: seeing that you're not what you once were, and that's

166
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: a real thing for professional athlete. It's a very difficult

167
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: thing to shake. So when I'm watching Klay Thompson consistently

168
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: being taken to the hole off the dribble back down

169
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: in the post score it on. You can see his

170
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: body language as he runs down and if he misses

171
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 3: a three after that, just watch his body language. So

172
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: now we're having a different player. We don't have that energy,

173
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: that swagger that we're used to seeing. It comes in spurts,

174
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: but as you know in the playoff series, you don't

175
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: need spurts. You need the full thing. You need to

176
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: be locked in, and we needed to be able to

177
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: be counted on, and we just didn't get that.

178
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: Well.

179
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: It may have even led into decision making, which you

180
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: and I have had a lot of conversations about this

181
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: before with this specific team. One of the reasons Jordan

182
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: Poole is such a lightning rod, for example, is because

183
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: of the decisions he makes and It's why he's been

184
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: become somewhat unpopular, I think, even to a degree in

185
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: the locker room. But I like I will forever take

186
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: with me Game four, and in my opinion, they had

187
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: it and they blew it. And they blew it because

188
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: in the final three minutes of the game, they collectively

189
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: even all the way to Steph but it didn't matter

190
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: because there were so many people making more bad decisions

191
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 2: than him. They made horrible decisions with their shots, and

192
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers consistently kept coming out of them. And the

193
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: Lakers pulled out a game where I thought they got

194
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: out played, and that was that. That was that the

195
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: Warriors could not they could not rebound when you have

196
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: a series.

197
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: Like that and you get your shot.

198
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: Each team had one shot on the road, and the

199
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: Lakers got theirs in Game one, and the Warriors did

200
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 2: not get it back in Game four.

201
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: And that's a wrap. I mean.

202
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: I will say this about these playoffs seed from because

203
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 2: we've been watching all these and we talked before they

204
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: started about how close and unpredictable.

205
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: We thought they would be.

206
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: Take a step back now that we're at the final

207
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: four and realize that the Eastern Conference one seed got

208
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: knocked out in five games on its own floor. Harrison

209
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: Barnes threw a ball into the air in Game four

210
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: that could have knocked the Warriors out essentially of the

211
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: first round series. It just was an inch long, and

212
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: the Warriors ended up on to beat the to meet

213
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and then what we just said there, each

214
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: of them had one shot on the road, and one

215
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: gets it, one doesn't. That's it. Warriors are gone. And

216
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: I still feel that way now as we reach the

217
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: final four. I still don't have a good picture as

218
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: to who's the best of the four.

219
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't have a good picture of that.

220
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: I think, you know, these two series, the Eastern and

221
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 3: Western Conference Finals, it's gonna be remarkable. I think it's

222
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: gonna be remarkable. I think the Celtics feel like they

223
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: have something to prove. The problem is if you don't

224
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 3: show up every game against Miami, you're gonna have a

225
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: problem on your hands. Man, You're gonna have a problem

226
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: on your hands. Like for real, Miami's button up from

227
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: the top to the bottom, from the very high office

228
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 3: all the way to the equipment manager. They're buttoned up,

229
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: all right. The Lakers long, defensive, talented, they have a

230
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: big that can make you work. You look at Denver.

231
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: Denver is very long. Look at their starting five Gordon

232
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: six eight, six ' nine, uh, Michael Porter junior six ' ten,

233
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: Yo Kichevne.

234
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: I also feel like Denver might be of the four

235
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: teams left. It might be the only home court advantage

236
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: that matters right now.

237
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: Oh, it's the real thing. Yeah, me having played up there,

238
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: me playing for me, having played for the Broncos. I

239
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: know what the teams look like in the third quarter.

240
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: I know.

241
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: So we come out in the middle of the third

242
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: quarter and go no huddle. Man, were running a we

243
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: zone blocking Nay, get made bro. So I know what

244
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: that altitude does to your lungs. I can just imagine.

245
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: And in basketball, when it's up and down, up and down,

246

Speaker 2: The underdiscussed under belly of that series that we still

00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,119
Speaker 2: need to get to, and boy, oh boy, the Grizzlies

00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: Okay, my dude, now that we've we've both been able

272
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: to rip off what I thought was a healthy discussion

273
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: about what happened in the Lakers Warriors series. Now let's

274
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: talk about officiating for a second. Okay in the way

275
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: that you think. Maybe not in the way you think

276
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to okay. First of all, I just saw this,

277
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: and I wonder what your thoughts are. We always know

278
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: that NBA Playoff time is conspiracy theorist time. Take take

279
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: a look at the two series that have now developed,

280
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: and as always, when you get down to the final four,

281
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: you only got a handful of possibilities as far as

282
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: what the finals matchup will be.

283
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,119
Speaker 1: And the Nuggets versus the Heat.

284
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: That's one possibility.

285
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: The Lakers versus the Celtics.

286
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: Would be another possibility. Nobody want to see that.

287
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: I just wonder if what we've got here is a

288
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: perfect storm of the kind of situation that brings the

289
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorist to the yard. Because the Celtics will have

290
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: home court and be favored in the series. I got

291
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: to look at the number of the Nugget I mean,

292
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: the Nuggets have to be favored, right, got to be

293
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: favored in the series.

294
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: Maybe just the home court. No, I don't even I

295
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, let me take a look. I get

296
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: this real fast.

297
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: Yes, the Nuggets are favored, nowhere near the favorite that

298
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: the Celtics are.

299
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: So a series price.

300
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: For those of you who speak gambling, if it's a

301
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: if it's a plus number, that means you bet one

302
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: hundred dollars to get that number. If it's a minus number,

303
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: then you have to bet that number to win one hundred.

304
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: I hope that made sense to have real quick anyway, Yeah,

305
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 2: they said who Anyway, the Celtics are minus five thirty

306
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: to win this series, so you got to bet five

307
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty dollars to win one hundred. The Heat are

308
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: plus four to twenty five. You bet one hundred, you

309
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: win four hundred and twenty five dollars. That's kind of

310
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: how it works. Okay, Nuggets minus one forty five, Okay,

311
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: gotta bet one forty five to win one hundred. Lakers

312
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: plus one twenty five, bet one hundred win one twenty five.

313
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: Very mild favorite Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference playoffs.

314
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: But look, this is one of those classic setups now

315
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 2: with a with four teams left, where it's very obvious

316
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: quote unquote what the league would like as far as

317
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: the four possible outcomes, as far as matchups.

318
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: For the NBA Finals, one of them is clearly better.

319
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: Than the three from one of them is clearly better

320
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: than the I don't say so. I just wonder if

321
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: if it feels like if the well not forget what

322
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: it feels like, if the Lakers play the Celtics in

323
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: the finals, Uh, then then there's gonna be a whole

324
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: lot of people saying that that's that's what the league

325
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: wanted in the NBA Finals.

326
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: So what I would retort there is, you mean this

327
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: tell me that the league orchestrated the entire year, the

328
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: two to ten start, the zero to five start for

329
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: the Lakers, the below five hundred, all the way up

330
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: until the last month of the season, the play in

331
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 3: and beating the two, beating the Memphis Grizzlies, which was

332
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 3: the second seed, and then beating the defending champions. They

333
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 3: orchestrated all of that, and then they orchestrated the Lakers

334
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: beating the Denver Nuggets, the number one seed, just to

335
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: get them in in the NBA Finals. And then they

336
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: did the same thing on the other side. M't nobody

337
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: get no time. I mean the Celtics and the Celtics

338
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: time for that man.

339
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: Celtics went to the NBA Finals last year, didn't get

340
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: over the top STEPH already took care of the Celtics.

341
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: Now you give Lebron his chance. You're a scriptwriter, No.

342
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 3: Not because it doesn't it doesn't what's what's it doesn't know,

343
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: It doesn't listen.

344
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: I think it's all a bunch of Bolsheviks as well. However,

345
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what people are saying.

346
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't listen at least, I don't think.

347
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's out there who believes that the

348
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: whole thing is scripted from October to June.

349
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: That's that's not it.

350
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: But but when it gets to the end now and again,

351
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: now they wont it.

352
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 2: My answer, My answer is the same. I'm not an

353
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: NBA conspiracy theorist. I don't think that at all. I

354
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: think that home teams tend to get calls because there's

355
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: two things that happen in an NBA series, and both

356
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: of them affect human beings, even human beings who are

357
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: trying to go out there and be totally objective. Two

358
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: things affect human beings. One energy of the room. Yeah okay,

359
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: oh yeah, energy of the room. Right when you're at home,

360
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: just get caught up the energy in the room. And

361
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: the other thing that affects human beings is when coaches,

362
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: and Phil Jackson was the ultimate master, but all coaches

363
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: do this if they're doing their job, which is to

364
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 2: start planting little things in the backs of the heads

365
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: of the officials during a series. Usually it's whoever's losing,

366
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 2: because you wouldn't get mad at the refs if you won,

367
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: and so you lose a game and if you see

368
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: something that was a little out of whack.

369
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr tried this and.

370
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: I thought had a modicum of success and obviously not enough,

371
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: but drop in the backs of the minds of the

372
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: officials that we feel there's too much flopping going on.

373
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: He didn't name names.

374
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: You and I texted about Dennis Shrewder. I I would

375
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 2: like to never watch him play basketball again. I have

376
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: no problem with the majority of the rest of the Lakers.

377
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: I'd like to never watch Dennis Shrewder play basketball again.

378
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: I thought it was gross. He not the only one, okay,

379
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: but Steve Kerr drops that in the backs of the

380
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: minds of the officials. Yes, you texted me something that

381
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: about flailing legs of of warrior guards, which.

382
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: Which I feel, I feel is fair.

383
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 3: Look, I mean not the legs so crazy looking for

384
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: foul when they.

385
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: Land.

386
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: I'm talking about they've shot a million jump shots for

387
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: a million pools, crazy kicking his legs in the air

388
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: pool and dive to the ground. Oh my god, I.

389
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: Would I would agree with you on pool if his

390
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: body parts weren't always going in opposite direction.

391
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: Step one, Look at step every time he shoots. Every

392
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: time he shoots by that one. Look how he look

393
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 3: at it posture? Are you kidding me?

394
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: Hang on, I do want to discuss this because I

395
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: find I find all NBA players try to get whistles,

396
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: all of them. I didn't when I played basketball because

397
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: it couldn't jump over people. So if you blocked my shot,

398
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 2: I fell down and it worked because I could shoot

399
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: free throws.

400
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: I could do that all day long.

401
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: Okay, So that, yes, that's a part of the culture

402
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: of basketball. To me, there is one I'm gonna get

403
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: the officials to think this happened. That's worse than all

404
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 2: the others, which we'll get to in a second.

405
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: But right now, we have to bring Steve to say Christinian.

406
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: We have to bring in somebody who would never try

407
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: to get anybody to think that something that didn't happen happened.

408
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: He's the opposite of that. He is Steve to say.

409
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 6: You also skipped the part where NBA players would also

410
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 6: grab the leg of opponent to keep them from running

411
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 6: down the court.

412
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yes, I just so.

413
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 6: What you're telling me is you're actually not good enough

414
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 6: to win the game today on the up and up?

415
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 6: Is that what you're telling.

416
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. Let's start with Chris Paul. Dude,

417
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: you're one of the best players in the world. What

418
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: James Harden he finally got better? What are you doing.

419
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: You don't need to act like this. You're one of

420
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: the best players in the world. Play ball.

421
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 6: And then there's Doc Rivers in a game seven. We'll

422
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 6: get to that in a moment. Philadelphia did lose today

423
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 6: second round of the NBA Playoffs over at Boston. Celtics

424
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 6: were in as high game with Philly in the third

425
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 6: quarter and then beat him up one twelve eighty eight

426
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: as the final. James Harden and the lost nine points

427
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 6: three of eleven shooting, seven assists, five turnovers. Joel Embiid,

428
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 6: who I believe won MVP, was five of eighteen shooting

429
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 6: from the floor fifteen points. Philly out again, still has

430
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 6: not won a second round series since two thousand and one,

431
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 6: when it won the East with Alan iverson coach. Doc

432
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 6: Rivers in his career has lost a Game seven ten times.

433
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 6: He has still never won a Game seven on the road.

434
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 6: Most famously, I guess that Game seven of the Finals

435
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 6: at the Lakers where Kobe Bryant delayed knee surgery and

436
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: couldn't shoot and Boston was up double digits in the

437
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 6: third quarter and still couldn't win. Doc Rivers in his

438
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 6: career in Game seven started with a three and two record,

439
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 6: since then three and eight In Game sevens Jason Tatum

440
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: fifty one points, a new game seven records. Celtics will

441
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 6: host Miami Wednesday in Game one of the East Finals.

442
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 6: Denver host Game one of the West Finals against the

443
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 6: Lakers on Tuesday night. The Memphis Grizzly suspended John Morant

444
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 6: after he held a gun in another social media video.

445
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 6: The league is investigating and could suspend him. There is

446
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 6: a Stanley Cup playoff game tonight at ten pm Eastern Time.

447
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 6: Vegas up three games to two plays at Edmonton. William

448
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 6: Byron won NASCAR's four hundred. At Darlington, South Carolina, Jason

449
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 6: Day took Golf's Byron Nelson Tournament in Texas. Dustin Johnson

450
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 6: won the live golf event in a playoff in Tulsa.

451
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 6: The PGA Championship starts Thursday in Rochester, New York. Sunday

452
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 6: night ballgame going to the fifth inning at Boston, Cardinals

453
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 6: are leading four to one over the Red Sox. Among

454
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 6: the earlier games, while there were plenty of course in

455
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 6: all finals. On this Sunday, the Dodgers won again at

456
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: home at home. They're fifteen and six, four nothing the

457
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 6: final over the Padres. Padres have lost five straight their

458
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 6: nineteen and twenty two this season. Wins for Colorado and

459
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 6: for Texas having a great season. And three notes from football.

460
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 6: First and foremost, your XFL champion, the Arlington Renegades. They

461
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 6: won the final in the Alamo Dome last night against

462
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 6: the dreaded DC. Arlington was four and six in the

463
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 6: regular season, average fourteen points a game. There is your

464
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 6: champion of the XFL. The NFL at this month's meetings

465
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 6: will vote to have flex scheduling for Thursday night games.

466
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 6: According to Pro Football Talk, that is an awful idea

467
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 6: for ticket holders. They yeah, we already knew, they didn't

468
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 6: care about players, let's talk about safety and then at

469
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 6: a game. Now we know they don't care about fans.

470
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 6: And the Washington Commanders did have that sale agreement announced

471
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 6: on Friday to a group led by seventy six Ers

472
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 6: owner Josh Harris, who's having a great day. I'm sure

473
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 6: he also owns the new Jersey Devils, who recently eliminated.

474
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 6: But seventeen partners in this deal to buy the NFL team,

475
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 6: including Magic Johnson. It is a complex deal, so much

476
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: so that the Washington Post one source said, if not

477
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 6: for the other NFL owner's strong desire to remove Dan

478
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 6: Snyder from the league, this Harris deal probably would not

479
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 6: be approved without some revisions. They're gonna have to vet

480
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 6: all seventeen partners in addition to the main guy in

481
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 6: the group, and to make the purchase. Reportedly, Harris is

482
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 6: borrowing against his other teams and getting a loan from

483
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 6: the current owner, Dan Snyder, because the sale price is

484
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 6: just over six billion dollars.

485
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: How's the record?

486
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: Wow?

487
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: How is that even right?

488
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 6: That's kind of like how Frank McCort got the Dodgers

489
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 6: get a loan from Fox to buy the Dodgers from

490
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 6: Fox and then he was cash for the entire time anymore, Steve,

491
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 6: and then he kept the parking lots at the end.

492
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 6: It's just it was bad at the beginning and all

493
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 6: through and at the end. Harris is at least from

494
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 6: the DC area. The deal will likely be presented at

495
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 6: this month's NFL owners meetings. Doesn't mean to necessarily vote

496
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 6: on it then, but it sounds like they'll fast track

497
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 6: it by the summer.

498
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: Back to you, boy, Steve, I love what you're saying about.

499
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 2: I mean, it's worse for players too, this flex NFL

500
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 2: Thursday thing, but yeah for fans off a from out Listen.

501
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: I'm single, dad of three kids and I got four jobs.

502
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: If I got tickets to an NFL game, man, you

503
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: tell me six days before it happens. By the way,

504
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: it's on Thursday now, not Sunday. I'd be like, what,

505
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 2: there's zero chance I am able to make that adjustment.

506
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: Nothing, zero chance, There's nothing you can do.

507
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.

508
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: But also, yeah, the players, can we talk about the

509
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: players like you, you're we already know you can't get

00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 2: your body ready by Thursday, but can you get it

511
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: ready by Thursday when you don't even know that you

00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: ready Thursday.

513
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: I love the NFL.

514
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: You know what they're gonna do next year, they're gonna

520
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 2: will be like like you see if the teams can

521
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: even get there in time.

522
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: And then they'll play and everybody.

523
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: It'll be a reality show and everyone will make lots

524
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: of money.

525
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: It'll be wonderful. Yeah, that's good lord, Okay.

526
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,400

532
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: in the NBA to have officiating discussions and who who

533
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: does a worse or better however you want to look

534
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: at it, job of drawing whistles. They all try to

535
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: do it. It's it's inherent to the game. It always

536
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: has been to a degree. But but there there is

537
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: for me. For me, there's one thing that's different than

538
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: all the others. And may it won't sound like one thing,

539
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: but to me it is. And I'm gonna give credit

540
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: to someone else on this this comment, because we've already

541
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: talked about Klay Thompson today. His dad, Michael Thompson, was

542
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: a longtime radio partner for me when when I was

543
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: living down there in LA and I consider I'm a

544
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: very good friend to this day. And you know this,

545
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: for God's sake, you are an offensive lineman. You people

546
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: are the largest strongest.

547
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Human beings on the planet. Do you know what it

548
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: takes to make one of you fall? Yeah? Good God, Eve?

549
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: From how often in your life do you fall?

550
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: Not very much?

551
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: What does it take for you? And by the way,

552
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: how traumatic would it be? Right? You're told, drink of

553
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: water heading down?

554
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's a long way to go. Man.

555
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: It's these people head out to the court and they're

556
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: on the ground half the night. And I'm supposed to

557
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: believe that somehow because you're running it like what I

558
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: could only describe as like three quarter speed. You don't

559
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: all out sprint when you're on offense and defense. Sometimes

560
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: Stephan Clay and those guards do and whatnot. But when

561
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: you're defending, it's not a to B sprint. You're moving,

562
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: you're trying to stay with a man, and you run

563
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: into a screen and everybody flies everywhere like a bomb hit.

564
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: The person who's setting the screen, the person who's getting screen.

565
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: They're on the floor, they're holding their face.

566
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: I mean they've got that, they've got the facial expression.

567
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: People are ending up in this Stans Lonnie Walker, who

568
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: had a great series, Good God to me.

569
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: That's different Ephraim.

570
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: This falling down when you didn't get touched, or even worse,

571
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 2: falling down and Shrewder did this and he got called

572
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: for it. I was glad the ref saw this one

573
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: where you fall and you also hook the other guy's

574
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: arm hill you make him he does it too, Yes, yeah,

575
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: you can call it whatever you want.

576
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: I call it a shrewder, That's what I call it.

577
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, you hook that arm and take him with you,

578
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: and it makes it look like he bowled you over.

579
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't know, Bud.

580
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't, And I was if there's one thing,

581
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: because I know a lot of people liked it and

582
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people didn't. If there's one thing Steve

583
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: Kerr said last week that resonated with me is the

584
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: FEBA rules where you know, especially with review, now, if

585
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: we see you pull this stuff, this is a technical foul.

586
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: This is a technical foul, and the other team is

587
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: getting two shots on the ball. There's no other way

588
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: to stop it. A few years ago, Oh, we're gonna

589
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: find people now not.

590
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 3: That it's like that basketball. It's a technical file. If

591
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 3: you flops, you get two shots. Yep.

592
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: What else stops it? Because right now nothing is stopping it.

593
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: Jeff Van Gundy went off on it. He's right, He's right,

594
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: and we're all the way we watch hoops, we're all

595
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: mad at the other team for doing it.

596
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: So that's just our eyes, right.

597
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: You don't like Draymond, I don't like Shrewder, but but

598
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: it's everybody and it sticks.

599
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: I hate It's about.

600
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: General of the league was a little bit tougher. We

601
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 3: know that. I was just you know, in honor of

602
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 3: the seventy six ers a Celtics game, I always looking

603
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: at the doctor j Larry Bird fight and then they

604
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: just went and continued to play basketball.

605
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: Right, it was a brawl like the other end.

606
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: Now like we just sighed, hey, hey, bring it up,

607
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: bringing up, you go over there, you go over there,

608
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 3: and then we're just gonna continue to play basketball. Yeah,

609
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: that's extreme. David Stern was like, we can't have that

610
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: on national television. So, you know, they start implementing more

611
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: and more rules and and things like that to you know,

612
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 3: enhanced offensive play. You can't close line somebody, all these

613
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 3: things that used to happen.

614
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: I get it.

615
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 3: It makes the game funner. Uh, but yeah, I'm not

616
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: a fan of flopping. I'm not a fan of the

617
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: soccer style.

618
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: Uh like that.

619
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 3: I just I don't like it.

620
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't like it that.

621
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 3: I have a problem with Jewel Embiid always being on

622
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 3: the ground like that. To me, I just.

623
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: Bro, he's huge much.

624
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't knock Joil Embiid down if you gave me

625
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: a running start and and you had a car dollars

626
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: to try, right.

627
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly.

628
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: Like good, look, all right, I'm glad you brought up

629
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: embaid because I'm seeing some crazy embead stuff on the

630
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: internet right now that I want to talk about. We'll

631
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 2: do that next John Moran at the top of the

632
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 2: hour mark with it a from Salam Fox Sports Radio,

633
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 2: who I'm split on this. I need your help, brother

634
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 2: live INTHETI RAG dot com Studios. I mean, I'm surfing

635
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 2: around and I listen. I get when people have an

636
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: emotional reaction.

637
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: We all do it. We all do it.

638
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 2: It'd be great if everybody in those tough moments could

639
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: all always remember just go to bed, Go to bed

640
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: and try this again tomorrow. You're gonna wake up and

641
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 2: feel totally differently. But that's not the way it works.

642
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: Because it was just a handful of hours ago that

643
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Sixers came from three to two to down

644
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 2: four to three, got blown off of the court, and

645
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: the MVP went into the postgame media room and stated,

646
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: I can't do this by myself, and people are like,

647
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what like James Harden, Tobias Harris, Maxie like

648
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: you feel like you're by yourself?

649
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 1: That's wild.

650
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 2: However, I'm seeing even more people and maybe it's because

651
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: of this, these comments by Joel Embiid, who are saying

652
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: in Philly, you know, forty eight hours ago they had

653
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: their home building lit up and they were ready to

654
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: try to make the Eastern Conference finals. Now everybody wants

655
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: to trade Embiid and blow it up. That that's overly emotional, right, yeah,

656
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: it is overly emotional. And you know, Joel Embiid is

657
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 2: in his feelings right now. He feels that he's alone.

658
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 3: He is not. He feels that he needs help out there.

659
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 3: He doesn't. If we looked at the box score and

660
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: he had thirty three fifteen and eight with a couple blocks,

661
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: then I'd say, okay, all right, he needs some give

662
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: him some help. But he was five for eighteen for

663
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: fifteen points, eight rebounds and one assist. Brother, that ain't

664
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 3: gonna get it done as an MVP. Could you imagine

665
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: the Joker having those numbers? Think about that, and this

666
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 3: is the direct comparison to two guys who have been

667
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: the MVPE finished one and two in MVP voting for

668
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,959
Speaker 3: the last three years. Could you imagine the Joker having

669
00:37:54,080 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: those numbers after we saw what he's been doing in

670
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: the playoffs. And there is the difference. It's easy to

671
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: go cry and complain and ask for help, but when

672
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: you out there, you I watched that game and I

673
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 3: watched them go down the course, Joel and b doesn't

674
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: post up. He doesn't post up high post. He'll set

675
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: the screen. He won't dive to the basket. He'll go

676
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 3: to the float to the three point line, like hey, hey, hey, Broh,

677
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: I need you on the box. I need you on

678
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: the box.

679
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: Right.

680
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: He did it a couple times, and he got himself

681
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: to the free throw line. He only shot six free throws.

682
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: You're the MVP of the league. You play center. I

683
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: can't do that, man, I'm no, no, no, no no.

684
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 3: You have plenty of your eighteen shot. If you're gonna

685
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: go out on your shield, have twenty four shots. Steph

686
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 3: Curry just shot the ball what thirty two times? Yep,

687
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: you gotta go out on your shield. Don't cry and

688
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: I need more help. No, I can't get the ball.

689
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: I can't dripple the ball myself. Hey man, I don't

690
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 3: see people looking you off. If you want the ball,

691
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 3: you can get the ball. All those timeouts, Doc Rivers

692
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 3: was blowing trying to stop that run. You could have

693
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: grabbed somebody by New Jersey and be like, yo, ban,

694
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 3: throw me the ball down every single time. I dare

695
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: you to go up and down the court three times

696
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 3: without trying to get Shaquille or Nil the ball. I

697
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: dare you even Kobe knew better? Even Kobe knew better? Yep, right,

698
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: So before they get you help, look at yourself, MVP.

699
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you got another sinner who brings the

700
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: ball up the court? How come you can't do it?

701
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah?

702
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: I believe we've reached the point where people do not

703
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 2: trust the process. More on that, we'll get to Jamorant

704
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,239

Speaker 2: bringing us in tonight for spending some time with us

719
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. You don't need me to tell

720
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: you that John Morant's got a problem. This is the

721
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: corroboration that that everybody needed to know that all of

722
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: the things that we didn't know about to me are

723
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: now true. Remember last time around, it's like, okay, here's

724
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: John flashing a gun on social media.

725
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: But man, there's a story where he went after a

726
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 1: mall cop. And then there's a story.

727
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 2: Where like maybe he and his and his dudes like

728
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: threatened players from another team from the Remember all that

729
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: stuff that was sort of mysterious. It's like, yeah, okay,

730
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 2: it's true. I got it now And and so Jaw

731
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: has a major problem. The obvious stuff that we know. Okay,

732
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: John needs help and all that. That's not his biggest

733
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: problem right now. From his biggest problem is that he

734
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: has made everybody feel stupid. That's his biggest problem. This game,

735
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 2: when you are a celebrity is often about public relations,

736
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 2: and the problem for John now beyond all of the obvious,

737
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 2: which is that he's surrounding himself with.

738
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: Bad people, and maybe he's bad people, and he.

739
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 2: Makes very very poor decisions and has put all kinds

740
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: of things on the line as he's about to make

741
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: unbelievable wealth, and he has now made the Memphis Grizzlies

742
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: feel like they are questioning their decision.

743
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: The problem is is that he told.

744
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: Everybody my bad, I'm gonna go get help, and I'm

745
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 2: going to spend some time away and i am going

746
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: to learn from the mistakes and I'm going to come

747
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: back a better person. I now feel that while he

748
00:42:53,200 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: was saying that he was playing Xbox and taking a break. Now, Jah,

749
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 2: you made me feel stupid for believing in you, for thinking, yeah,

750
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: you're just a young dude, a little wayward, a lot

751
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 2: of attention, fishbowl money, I get it, a lot of pressure.

752
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 2: So we're gonna give you strike one and here comes

753
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: the redemption story. Well, now you made us feel like idiots.

754
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: And so Job's problem is that this time he is

755
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: going to have nobody, nobody on his side.

756
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not gonna sit here and continue to make

757
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: excuses for a grown man. Okay, Oh, you know, his

758
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 3: circle is this, and he's hanging around with the wrong people.

759
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 3: He's the wrong person because he's the beginning and the

760
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 3: end of his circle. Okay, let's be real. When Lebron

761
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: James came into the league, he had a circle too.

762
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: Remember Phil Jackson called him a posse and all of this,

763
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 3: and you know, his his entourage whatever, Well they happened

764
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: to be some of the most successful businessmen on the

765
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: planet Earth right now. So that same posse or circle

766
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 3: that he ran with were all kids. They came into

767
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 3: the league. Lebron James had a bigger spotlight on him

768
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 3: than Joe will ever have at a younger age. And

769
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm probably willing to bet he grew up a little

770
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 3: bit rougher than John morn did based on Job's two

771
00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 3: parent household, private school, all of that stuff. Okay, and

772
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 3: so we saw how that played out. Businesses, eight power agents,

773
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 3: billionaire athlete. So when you look at what's going on

774
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 3: with John Morant and you see his talent, his talent

775
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 3: is unquestionable off the field, off the court, well he's

776
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 3: got to hang with better.

777
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no.

778
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 3: We need to stop blaming blaming the others and start

779
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 3: blaming him because he's the problem. Your group is your circle,

780
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 3: your group, your crew is going to go as you go.

781
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 3: When I made it to the league, I was the

782
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 3: only one that made it to the league. Nobody else

783
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 3: went to the NFL in my circle, and I had

784
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 3: a few guys who you know, wanted to do nefarious things.

785
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: And I sat down and had a conversation, y'all can't

786
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 3: steal and be around me. You can't boost, you can't

787
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 3: do nothing guns. It's gotta go weed. You can't even

788
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: smoke weed. And then get in my car and ride

789
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 3: with me smelling like weed. This is back when the

790
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: weed was illegal.

791
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: I had this.

792
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 3: This is real converse. These are real conversations I had

793
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 3: in my early twenties.

794
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: Good for you, right, But what happened.

795
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 3: We run a successful film company at a president over

796
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 3: ahead of production. Here, you see what I'm saying. When

797
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 3: you clean up your circle, then they fought that it.

798
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 1: Goes with you.

799
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 3: Now, if I was like, what whatever we about to,

800
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 3: you know, then they gonna do what we what I'm doing. Yeah,

801
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: So it's not Josh circle. It's not the people.

802
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: It's him.

803
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: And if I were the NBA, I'd go ahead and

804
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 3: nip this in the bud right now. I suspend him

805
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 3: indefinitely with a minimum of a year with no pay,

806
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 3: and then you can apply for reinstatement. After a year.

807
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: If I were Nike, which just released his shoe, they

808
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 3: terminated Kyrie Irvins contract for reposting something and not apologizing

809
00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 3: the way that he should have apologized. But yet, what

810
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 3: are they going to do with job? Yeah?

811
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 2: I love what you're saying, man, because now I know

812
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 2: it's different leagues. But you bring up Kyrie, what if

813
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: I bring up Calvin Ridley?

814
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? We got people.

815
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 2: We got people missing years because of a parlay, and

816
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 2: this now is within two and a half months of

817
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 2: one another. We got two social media gun incidents and

818
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 2: that one year that you're calling for him to miss,

819
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 2: that'd be a thirty three point five million dollar mistake.

820
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: Now that is something that he would feel. I'm with you,

821
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: and I also think what you said is very smart

822
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: with regard to we got to stop talking about this

823
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 2: as if a posse is bringing people down. It's that

824
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: it's that the person is not bringing the posse up.

825
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 3: Hey or whatever you want to call the group whatever,

826
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,240
Speaker 3: your friends, you can call him friends, your buzz on him, you're.

827
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: Broever, it is your group, your group. I love what

828
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: you just said.

829
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: It's on jaw to lift them up, not allow them

830
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: to quote unquote bring him down. They have every single

831
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 2: resource possible. His new five year, one hundred and ninety

832
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 2: four point three million dollar contract kicks in in less

833
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: than new months.

834
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: And so here we are.

835
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: Here we are, and you and I had basketball conversations

836
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 2: about this guy all year, saying that this team is

837
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: so clearly a team with a leadership problem.

838
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: Man, so clearly, I mean it is Neon signed.

839
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 2: That should be the name of their damn arena in Memphis,

840
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 2: leadership problem Arena.

841
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: Welcome to town.

842
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 2: We employed Dylan Brooks, John Morant, Taylor Jenkins, and we're

843
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 2: just out here, all twenty.

844
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: Nine and younger, and we're crazy. WHOA, We're a good

845
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: We're about to be a dynasty.

846
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 2: Unbelievable and incredibly predictable, incredibly predictable. Whenever someone at a

847
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 2: high level starts talking as if they've already achieved well before,

848
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 2: they have, incredibly predictable.

849
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: All you have to do if you want to know

850
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: what the league thinks of this.

851
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 2: Team is listen to the sound of the discourse between

852
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 2: the Lakers and the Grizzlies versus the Lakers and the Warriors.

853
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: It's all you got to do. It's all you gotta do.

854
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 2: Lakers and Warriors might be rivals of sorts La San Francisco.

855
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: My gosh, lots of emotion there, Lebron, Steph all that stuff.

856
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: Do you ever hear want?

857
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 3: Oh?

858
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: He old?

859
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, Buddy's great. No, Instead, what you saw was hugs.

860
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 2: Right when the thing ended to the point where fans

861
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: of the losing side get uncomfortable with it. Draymond's embrace

862
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 2: of Lebron is like, oh hey, whoa look.

863
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: You know.

864
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 3: Chess to chest embrace too.

865
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: That was but an issue we are I don't have

866
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: an issue with it. Get over this stuff.

867
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 2: Isaiah Thomas and Magic Johnson kissed for crying out loud.

868
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: Get over it. But people love to read stuff into this.

869
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: I love that because it shows that the Warriors are like, Okay,

870
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: that's the Lakers. They got Lebron and a D. And

871
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers are like, that's the Warriors, they got Steph

872
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 2: Clay and Dre. Shut your mouth, let's go play ball

873
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 2: because they don't have leadership problems.

874
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: No, this Grizzlies thing. People are all over the internet today.

875
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: We got to blow up the sexers because Embid said

876
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: something we don't like.

877
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 3: Memphis is Star was out around to go and is

878
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 3: out a gun again.

879
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: That's who needs to blow it up. That's who needs

880
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: to blow it up. Hey man, this.

881
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 3: If the league does this right, they just might save

882
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 3: his life. Well said, it's bigger than than than basketball.

883
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 3: If the league does this right, they just might save

884
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 3: his life. Okay, so you you haven't gotten your extension yet.

885
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: There should be language in the contract. I wonder, right,

886
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 3: I wonder, I wonder we know you know NBA deals

887
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 3: are guaranteed. Yeah, man, and and but yeah, I wonder

888
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 3: there should be language in the contract.

889
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: Right.

890
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 3: So now we need to start ex lowering different options,

891
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 3: because if you give this man two hundred million dollars

892
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 3: based on his past behavior, this is I'm not speculating

893
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 3: it based on what he's shown us. He may not

894
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 3: make it. He is he is fascinated and enthralled and engulfed.

895
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: In this.

896
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 3: Persona for whatever reason. It's not about forgetting where you've

897
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 3: come from. It's not about any of that. I grew

898
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 3: up here in La in Inglewood. Whether late great Nipsey

899
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 3: Hustle was gunned down in front of it, I lived

900
00:53:53,400 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 3: one block away from there. I grew up there. I

901
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 3: know what gun violence is. I know what gangs are.

902
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 3: I remember this is in the eighties, all right, And

903
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 3: so said, hey man, I'm.

904
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm not.

905
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 3: Enthralled, and and I look, I knew there was something better.

906
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: I had tremendous parents. My father moved us up to

907
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 3: northern California because he knew the age I was was

908
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 3: the most influential age of gang recruiting and where we lived,

909
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 3: so he gave me a shot.

910
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: It worked.

911
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 3: So I didn't have money. We didn't have private school

912
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,399
Speaker 3: money where I can go up now. I didn't play

913
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 3: I didn't play sports, so I wouldn't mo than like

914
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 3: I could be recruited to go to a high school

915
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 3: and did played sports until high school. Well, what I'm

916
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 3: saying is you, as an athlete who's made it. You've

917
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 3: beaten the odds, whatever background you come from, don't be

918
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 3: an idiot.

919
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: Brother.

920
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, y'all. He may never hear this, It

921
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 3: may never get to him. But all I'm saying is, brother,

922
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 3: you got to rise above it and rise your people

923
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 3: with you. Success should be enjoyed and shared. You don't regress, man,

924
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 3: It's it's frustrating. It frustrates people because of what you

925
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 3: just said.

926
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: You know, what I mean. It frustrates people when when

927
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,279

00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: also get back to the Lakers' chances and where the

935
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 2: Warriors go from here. There's one exodus with Golden State

936
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 2: that might already be underway. We'll tell you about that

937
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 2: coming up in a little bit on Fox Sports Radio. Okay,

938
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: we're right here in these tirag dot com studios, Mark

939
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 2: Witherd and E from Salam. I mean, maybe you could

940
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 2: help me with something, even though I feel like I

941
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 2: already get it. And when I say I get it,

942
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 2: it's because nobody gets it, so I guess we all

943
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 2: get it the same. And here I'm talking about you

944
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 2: know who Anthony Bourdain was, right, Yeah? Ye, Anthony Bourdain,

945
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 2: who you know tragically took his own life and for

946
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 2: many people, especially if you are a viewer of his

947
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 2: content or you're anywhere near the entertainment world, you're like,

948
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 2: that guy has the perfect life. And we've all learned,

949
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: I think, with you know, an additional focus on mental

950
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 2: health in recent years, especially through the pandemic, we've learned

951
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 2: that mental health doesn't always make sense.

952
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: Right.

953
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,959
Speaker 2: The view from the outside is not the view from

954
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: the inside. So let me take this to a much

955
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 2: less serious place, and it's this. Sometimes I wonder what's

956
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 2: going on with certain people in sports when they leave

957
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 2: a situation that seems just so perfect. This hits a

958
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 2: different way, I think right now in the Bay Area

959
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 2: because the Golden State Warriors to fans of basketball look

960
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 2: like over the last dec like where would you want

961
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 2: to be other than that?

962
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: Right?

963
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 2: And so when Kevin Durant left, there are still people,

964
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 2: not many, but there are people here to this day

965
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: that are like, say, that guy.

966
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: Man, he messed up when he left. Maybe he did.

967
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 2: I don't really look at that way because I don't.

968
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't want to be here, right, I

969
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 2: don't know what makes a guy tick. I don't know

970
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 2: what was bothering him. The popular idea was that, you know,

971
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: he just couldn't get the love that an NBA one

972
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 2: is supposed to get because of the presidence of Steph

973
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: and how beloved he was, and people like Clay and

974
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 2: Draymond even more than Kevin because he was an outsider.

975
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 2: So let's take it now to something that Adrian wojes

976
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 2: Darowski was talking about just a couple of hours ago,

977
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 2: and he filed a report with regard to Warriors general

978
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: manager Bob Myers. Now nationally, he may not be a

979
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 2: big name in San Francisco, he is. He is a

980
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 2: key piece to everything that they've done in building for championships,

981
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: and in many ways is like the guy in Steph

982
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 2: Clay Draymondville. He's their guy, like he's the one who

983
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 2: keeps Draymond's head screwed on straight behind closed doors and

984
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: all of that stuff.

985
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: They're very, very very close. His contract expires in less.

986
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 2: Than two months and he still doesn't have a new one,

987
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 2: And for a while people were like, boy, something's going

988
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 2: on behind the scenes. Maybe they haven't offered him something.

989
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 2: And now all the news has come out. No, he's

990
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 2: been offered a deal, and he just doesn't know if

991
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 2: he wants it.

992
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't know. He's not even fifty years old yet.

993
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: He doesn't know if he wants to continue to be

994
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: the GM of the Golden State Warriors, and according to

995
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: these reports, the only thing giving him pause is the

996
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 2: fact that he is so close to Steph and Clay

997
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 2: and Draymond that he doesn't want to leave them. But

998
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 2: even with that, he's still not sure what's going on there.

999
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: When people in sports seem like they've got the perfect thing,

1000
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: you know, Sean McVeigh the last few years with the

1001
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Rams right after the Super Bowl, Yeah, I look like

1002
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm thirty years old and I might retire.

1003
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 3: What what like?

1004
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: It's just, man, you look like you have it all

1005
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: and you're not fifty yet. There's hair on your head.

1006
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, look, I just don't know if they want

1007
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 2: to stay. I talk about this all the time in

1008
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: terms of lifers. Right, everybody is not a lifer. And

1009
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: what I mean by that is they used to be coaches,

1010
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 2: gms like they're in it right. You'll coach yourself into

1011
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 2: a grave.

1012
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 3: You'll coach so long, sleep at the facilities, you eat, drink, sleep,

1013
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 3: whatever that profession is. Now you're seeing a different take

1014
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 3: on it. We grew up in a society that told

1015
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 3: us you had to work hard for an extremely long

1016
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 3: time and then retire in your seventies sixties, mid sixties seventies,

1017
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 3: you get your social security.

1018
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: That was what it was.

1019
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 3: Right, you work fifty years, you get a go watch,

1020
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 3: you get a pension, and you go off and try

1021
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 3: to live ten years for the rest of you. Whatever

1022
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,959
Speaker 3: that is. That was the mentality. You're gonna work, work, work, work,

1023
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 3: work well. Now in head coaches are in professional sports

1024
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 3: are getting paid a lot of money. There's a lot

1025
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 3: of life to be lived that doesn't revolve around your job,

1026
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 3: no matter how good that job may seem. Bob myerst

1027
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 3: that they want four championships. Right, you chased it, Sean

1028
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 3: McVay won a championship. That's what you were chasing. Sometimes

1029
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 3: the race ends and you're okay. Sometimes after you catch

1030
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 3: what you're chasing, you want to go through something else.

1031
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 3: We always look at it in terms of professional athletes.

1032
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 3: There's a shelf life on actually playing, but there's not

1033
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 3: really a The shelf life for coach or GM is

1034
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 3: much longer, and it's hinged on your success. You keep winning,

1035
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 3: you can keep that job as long as you want. Well,

1036
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 3: we're finding guys don't want the job that long, right.

1037
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 6: So.

1038
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: It's a situation where.

1039
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 3: The level of stress that comes with running in or

1040
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 3: organization i'llbeit a GM or a head coach is so

1041
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 3: strenuous that once you feel you've gotten some what you've

1042
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 3: been wanting out of it, you decide, Okay, I want

1043
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 3: to go do something else, write a book, travel, have

1044
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 3: a fan whatever that is, and I'm okay with that.

1045
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 3: You don't got to be a life for man going

1046
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 3: to live your life. I've lived about six seven lives already.

1047
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 3: Somebody else did we have on our team that's lived

1048
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 3: a lot of lives. I think at one point he

1049
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 3: was a Tibetan monk or something like that. I don't know,

1050
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 3: but that's our very own Stephen M. De Seger, And

1051
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 3: a good evening to you, gentlemen.

1052
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 6: When you talk about retiring early, by the way, doesn't

1053
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 6: Barry Sanders always come up because the guy was only

1054
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 6: thirty years old and had minced the game in five

1055
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 6: years and was only one year removed from a two

1056
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 6: thousand yard season from bjorn Borg at a very young

1057
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 6: age at the top of his game. Clayton Kershaw every

1058
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 6: off season now is going to have the conversation, do

1059
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 6: I want to continue, even though literally most every year

1060
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 6: of his career his ra's in the twos, including this

1061
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 6: year and last year. But he's not from Los Angeles,

1062
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 6: and the kids and the wife live in Texas most

1063
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 6: of the time, so it's an annual conversation.

1064
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Well Philadelphia, Yeah, as.

1065
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 2: Garry Sanders thing, the Barry Sanders thing made scratch my

1066
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 2: head until Calvin Johnson did it too, and.

1067
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 3: Right, I'll playing I make you want to get about

1068
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 3: it here, man, Yeah, right, okay, all right, sorry, Steve.

1069
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 6: I was going to say Philadelphia has got a lot

1070
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 6: of time on their hands now because yet again they

1071
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 6: get to the second round and lose in spectacular fashion

1072
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 6: in the second half. Today at Boston won twelve eighty eight.

1073
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 6: Celtics beat Philly. Jason Tatum fifty one points. That's a

1074
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 6: new game seven red. You know, I'm old enough to

1075
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 6: remember where two weeks ago, Steph Curry had fifty points

1076
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 6: for the first time ever in a game. Seven thirteen

1077
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 6: rebound for Jason Tatum. This game was tied early in

1078
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 6: the third quarter. Joel Embiid five of eighteen, shooting fifteen points.

1079
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 6: James Harden with nine points. Jason Tatum, remember last game

1080
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 6: started one of fifteen shooting from the floor and then

1081
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 6: hit three after three, after three, after three in the

1082
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 6: last four minutes or so of that game, and they

1083
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 6: won Game six to salvage their season. And now they're

1084
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 6: on to another Eastern Conference Finals. And Philly still has

1085
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 6: not won a second round series since two thousand and one,

1086
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 6: when it won the East. Philly, in fact, has been

1087
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 6: in the second round and lost the series five of

1088
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:41,080

1089
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 6: seven was at Boston. Celtics in recent years had not

1090
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 6: been a dominant home team in postseason, and yet they

1091
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 6: get the dominant third quarter and win today. Lakers, let's

1092
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 6: just say it loud, have been a dominant home team

1093
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 6: of late. It's been a month and a half since

1094
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 6: they lost a home game nine to zero in that stretch,

1095
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 6: team that was barely over five hundred overall for regular season.

1096
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 6: They head to the West Finals with a Game one

1097
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 6: on Tuesday night at Denver, the top seed in the West. Meanwhile,

1098
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 6: the Celtics Wednesday hosts Miami in Game one of the

1099
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 6: East Finals. By the way, NBA Draft lottery is Tuesday

01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 6: before the Conference finals begins. Stanley Cup playoffs ten PM

1101

1102
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 6: William Byron won Nascars four hundred at Darlington, South Carolina,

1103
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 6: his third victory this season. Kevin Harvick finished second. The

1104
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 6: PGA Championship starts Thursday in Rochester, New York. Dustin Johnson

1105
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 6: won the Live Golf events in a playoff in Tulsa today.

1106
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 6: Keep in mind every event winner and Live Golf gets

1107
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 6: four million dollars. Meanwhile, the Byron Nelson Tournament in Texas

1108
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 6: on the PGA side went to Jason Day because of

1109
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 6: a final round sixty two. He wins by one stroke.

1110
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 6: Day earns about one point seven million dollars. If you

1111
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 6: want to feel bad, the two guys that tied for

1112
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 6: second place there earned nearly nine hundred thousand less because

1113
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 6: of a difference of one stroke total. Over four days.

1114
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 6: In the USFL on Fox TV, Memphis defeated New Orleans,

1115
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,880

01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:41,120

1224
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,640

1225
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,400

1226
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: This guy.

1227
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 6: Miami was forty and thirty seven to start the month

1228
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 6: of April and lost the play and opener to atlant.

1229
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 3: So I was listening to I was listening to NBA

1230
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 3: TV over the week and they were saying some things

1231
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,479
Speaker 3: like that, and what caller had called in and was like, hey,

1232
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 3: can we if He was like, if you get Lebron

1233
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 3: James to apologize to Adam Silver about the play in tournament,

1234
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 3: then I'll buy you three custom made suits, and blah

1235
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 3: blah blah and all of this, and then the whole

1236
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 3: start saying, yeah, we should get them. You write the

1237
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 3: letter up and I'll reach out and get him to

1238
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,679
Speaker 3: apologize because they wouldn't be it without the playing tournament.

1239
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 3: And I was thinking to myself, you guys are NBA analysts,

1240
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 3: you guys know better than that, because if there was

1241
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 3: no play in tournament, the Lakers were the seventh seed,

1242
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 3: they would be in the playoffs.

1243
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 2: They would still be in it. And Miami would be

1244
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,600
Speaker 2: in it too, right, So I was like, come on,

1245
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 2: guys like you talking about that was just goofy to man.

1246
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,479
Speaker 2: I just you gotta stay on top of it, man. Okay, No,

1247
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 2: this this year is a good year to advertise for

1248
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 2: the playing tournament and for load management. Both of those

1249
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 2: things have had a really good year, no two ways

1250
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, that was for you at the end

01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 2: future still at the center of our discussion. Coming up

1256
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 2: next on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, what's going on on

1257
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday. Mark Willardy from salam Live tyraq dot

1258
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: com Studios. Very very clear statement from the Golden State

1259
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 2: Warriors after their departure ephrom and I don't just mean

1260
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,639
Speaker 2: from the players because the players always know what to say. Yeah,

1261
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 2: I love it here. Okay, we'll see when it comes

1262
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 2: to dollars and cents. But an article in The Athletic

1263
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 2: from Shams and Anthony Slater was posted literally minutes after

1264
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 2: the final buzzer sounded in Game six on Friday night,

1265
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 2: which means I'm like, okay, you've been doing this reporting

1266
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 2: for a few weeks now, and without going through all

1267
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 2: of the nuts and bolts of the article, it was

1268
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 2: pretty simple.

1269
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors franchise.

1270
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 2: Is all in on the old guys and they are

1271
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 2: not all in on the young guys, which is sort

1272
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 2: of counterintuitive after things start to show decline. Although Steph

1273
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Clay Draymond, I mean, I think you brought up some

1274
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 2: intricate things in terms of decline, but all in all

1275
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 2: the year that all three of them had, if you'd

1276
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: offered that to the Warriors at the beginning of the

1277
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 2: year on an individual basis, they would have said yes,

1278
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 2: and they would have been thrilled with what they got

1279
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 2: from all three of those. So the basic idea Warriors

1280
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 2: want to keep the big three and rebuild around them.

1281
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:08,919
Speaker 2: Bad news for guys like Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kaminga

1282
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 2: who may end up on the trade block.

1283
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 3: What do you think, good new good move or bad.

1284
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 3: I think it's a bad move. I think you're now

1285
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 3: going to start seeing a diminishing return and some of

1286
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 3: the old guys. You know, Steph is gonna be Steph.

1287
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 3: I will say taking twenty eight shots to get thirty

1288
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 3: two points is not very efficient. It's not very efficient

1289
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 3: at all. Twenty eight shots to get thirty two points.

1290
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson three for nineteen the last game, and they're

1291
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 3: they're they're not the sum of one game. It's the

1292
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 3: entirety of the season. But the seasons aren't getting shorter, right,

1293
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 3: The seasons aren't getting shorter. There's not a sixty game

1294
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 3: season or seventy game season. They're still eighty two games.

1295
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:26,440
Speaker 3: With the injury history, the less and less productivity overall.

1296
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 3: I mean, they won eleven games on the road, like

1297
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 3: there's a problem here, right, They're going to find they

1298
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 3: fought to get out of the play in at the

1299
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 3: end of it. Right, So when you're looking at and

1300
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 3: I know Wiggins wasn't there, he had a family issue

1301
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 3: he was dealing with. But if you're going to just

1302
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 3: go all in on your older guys, then you're opening

1303
01:17:56,439 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 3: yourself up for an expensive, expensive, uh injury plagued or

1304
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 3: riddled regular season. It's just you can't bet on the

1305
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,560
Speaker 3: older guys to continue to stay healthy and to be

1306
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 3: as efficient as they once were, you have to splice

1307
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 3: it with young blood. And that's what Jordan Poole was

1308
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 3: supposed to be. He's just not the right fit and

1309
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 3: go now he's not. They do not like him.

1310
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: I oh, gosh, no, I'm talking about in the locker room.

1311
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 3: They do not like him.

1312
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:43,280
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Well, it's a little bit more.

1313
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 2: It's a little deeper than that. I don't think that

1314
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 2: that's a little bit of a simplistic like sentence. But

1315
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 2: they're yes, he drives them crazy. Sometimes there's no trust there.

1316
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 2: I think if you can't trust your teammate, brother, it's

1317
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 2: I've been there. No, yeah, the writing was on the wall.

1318
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 2: And it's not the Draymond punch. I mean that was,

1319
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: you know, mysterious at best. But if you watch them

1320
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 2: play all year, there were things Draymond walked off the

1321
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 2: court in the middle, like Jordan Poole passed the ball

1322
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 2: to him and Draymond had already walked off the court.

1323
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: He was so frustrated with pool.

1324
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 2: Steph Curry, who doesn't do stuff like this, got so

1325
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 2: upset with Jordan he threw a mouthpiece at one point.

1326
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,480
Speaker 1: This year, Clay has thrown.

1327
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 2: His hands up, like, yeah, it's about it's about trust,

1328
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 2: it's about decision making, it's about championship basketball.

1329
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 3: And he didn't do it yet. Now he's only twenty three,

1330
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 3: but he doesn't do it yet. He got too much

1331
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 3: to learn it. That's the problem.

1332
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,520
Speaker 2: Well, here comes the money, because the brand new contract's

1333
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 2: just about to kick in. All right, Lakers' chances And

1334

1347
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 2: Joe Lmbeid, Jason Tatum, Lakers Warriors, the future.

1348
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 1: The now, all of it.

1349
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 2: But I gotta thank my dog first and foremost, Ephrom

1350
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 2: And sometimes that means you, but in this case, I

1351
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:48,560
Speaker 2: actually mean my dog, who, as you know, makes appearances

1352
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 2: on this radio show from time to time. I don't

1353
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 2: know that I would be in the headspace about this

1354
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 2: Lakers Warriors result if it were not for her. I

1355
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 2: promised you story. Have you ever had these moments? And

1356
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 2: I love this about you specifically because not all pro

1357
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 2: athletes can relate to fans, not all fans, maybe none

1358
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:12,799
Speaker 2: can relate to pro athletes.

1359
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: But you are both. You're both. You played in the pros,

1360
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: but when it comes to the Lakers, you act like

1361
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: a fan exactly, just a regular Joe fan.

1362
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 3: You.

1363
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 2: My favorite story that we've told this year is when

1364
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 2: your remote control got up and on its own broke

1365
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 2: your television set.

1366
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: Favorite story of the year by far.

1367
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm dang remote man. You gotta watch out for you.

1368
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: Guys.

1369
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:39,479
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a moment in the middle of

1370
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 2: a tense game that just suddenly puts that game in

1371
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 2: perspective for you to where you go from. All I

1372
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 2: care about right now is this game two. I actually

1373
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 2: don't care about this game at all anymore. Of course,

1374
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 2: have you ever had those moments?

1375
01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 3: Of course?

1376
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 1: Okay, can you relate?

1377
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, I'm sitting here the other night, and we

1378
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 2: had some high temperatures in the Bay Area, and my place,

1379
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:16,280
Speaker 2: which is upstairs, gets a little warm when it's warm outside.

1380
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: And we had lots of people because we're all huddling around.

1381
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 2: The couch, and we had lots of energy CAUZ Game six,

1382
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 2: must win, elimination, all of that.

1383
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 1: So it's warm.

1384
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 2: So I cracked a window that's only about ah, it's

1385
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 2: maybe like three four feet off the ground, right next

1386
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 2: to my front door.

1387
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: But it's just it's cracked. It's open about ten inches. Okay,

1388
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: no big deal. No screen on this particular window.

1389
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: H So we're sitting there watching the game and Klay Thompson,

1390
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 2: you know, brick and brick and brick and brick.

1391
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Oh god darn it, what's going on here?

1392
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, Penny the dog does one

1393
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 2: of those things that dogs do, which is she saw

1394
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 2: something outside.

1395
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Now this is if you have a dog, it doesn't

1396
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: need to be much.

1397
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened outside, could have been a person,

1398
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 2: another dog, squirrel, there's a lot of wildlife.

1399
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: Where I live. It could have been a deer, it

1400
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: could have been a coyote. I have no clue. Dog

1401
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 1: comes firing out of my room, goes over my son's room,

1402
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:30,160
Speaker 1: back to.

1403
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 2: My room son's room like she's agitated. Right, it's just

1404
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 2: like whatever, dog being a dog. We're watching the game.

1405
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 2: Penny quiet down. It's one of those moments. All of

1406
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 2: a sudden, Penny just kind of meanders over to this

1407
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 2: window and does like dogs do, and puts a pause

1408
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,640
Speaker 2: up on the window sill, like still looking outside, like

1409
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 2: what the hell's going on out there?

1410
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: All right?

1411
01:23:55,200 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 2: And then in a flash, wiggles her way through the opening,

1412
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 2: pushes the window up.

1413
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:06,799
Speaker 1: Gone.

1414
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, brother, my dog, when she gets

1415
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 2: full speed, is gone. She is so damn fast.

1416
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: I live three houses from the busiest street in the city.

1417
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: I went flying out that front door, screaming like a

1418
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,839
Speaker 1: mad buffoon down.

1419
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 2: The street like one of those lick if you heard

1420
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 2: this in your neighborhood, somebody's calling the authorities.

1421
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 3: I don't know us.

1422
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 2: I'm screaming her name. This dog goes full speed crosses

1423
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 2: that street. Thank God, thank God, thank god that that

1424
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:56,560
Speaker 2: car wasn't there at that time, wasn't Penny's day, so

1425
01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 2: she just trucked right across the street. But I'm I'm

1426
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 2: telling you, man, I hadn't gotten to the bottom of

1427
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 2: my stairs, and she's gone out of sight, gone middle

1428
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 2: of the second quarter, and I'm like, all of a sudden,

1429
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm out it right, the game, all of that angst

1430
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 2: about the game is now wrapped up.

1431
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 1: Gone my dog.

1432
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,719
Speaker 2: I've got to go get my dog. And I'm running

1433
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 2: around in the street. I ended I'll you know, I

1434
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 2: won't go through the whole thing of what happened.

1435
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: Next.

1436
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: I'm in people's backyards. I'm sweating. I told you it's hot.

1437
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm ended up up hills.

1438
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 2: I ended up almost in the next city before I

1439
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 2: finally because the dogs when they get that freedom, too,

1440
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 2: even when you see them, they look at you for

1441
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 2: a second and you're like, that's my dog. She's gonna

1442
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 2: come back, and they're like, God, we're running again, Like

1443
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 2: damn it. I mean, this process took me, luckily, only

1444
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 2: maybe about twenty minutes. I got back just in time

1445
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 2: to see Austin Reeves huck that thing in from half

1446
01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 2: and I didn't even care I'm panting, I'm sweating, and

1447
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 2: I'm just like, man, they're probably not gonna win tonight.

1448
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 2: But I got my dog, so it just it changed

1449
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 2: the whole thing for me, and it was a little

1450
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 2: bit less frustrating.

1451
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: Thanks.

1452
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 3: I think, to my dog, that's a great thing. When

1453
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 3: she saved you. She knew that you were gonna be

1454
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 3: a miserable mess, and she saved you. She did. Penny

1455
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 3: did that for you.

1456
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: Penny did it.

1457
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,960
Speaker 2: Penny's like, there's nothing going on outside, or maybe she

1458
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 2: saw shrewder. I think it's that. I think she saw

1459
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:47,400
Speaker 2: shrewder flop. She was so agitated. I have to go

1460
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 2: get fresh air.

1461
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,519
Speaker 3: I saw Jordan Poole fly by because he surely wasn't

1462
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 3: at the game.

1463
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, that was so ridiculous.

1464
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 2: Ever you ever go trudging into some one's backyard because

1465
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 2: it's like, my dog's in there, so I don't even

1466
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 2: you didn't even think twice.

1467
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 3: Mark, I'm like, I'm running to get my dog. Mark.

1468
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, I turn around, I'm like, oh, hell,

1469
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: I'm trespassing. This is not good. Mark.

1470
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm a black man in America. You think I'll go

1471
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 3: trudging in someone's backyard?

1472
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

1473
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 3: You know, just you a three hundred pound black man

1474
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 3: in America, It wouldn't matter if I was just seventeen

1475
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 3: pound black man in America.

1476
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: Hey, man, like.

1477
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 2: That's my privilege. I'm willing that's it is not even

1478
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:36,719
Speaker 2: that is part of my privilege.

1479
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 3: The crazy thing is, it's not even like a thought.

1480
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 3: You never was like, oh I better not going there.

1481
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,800
Speaker 3: I got everything was on your dog. Everything was like

1482
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 3: I gotta get her before I got to get a dog,

1483
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 3: or anyone who looks like me. We have to have

1484
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 3: a conversation with ourselves, like you like, do I really

1485
01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:00,560
Speaker 3: want the dog? I really cannot climb this fence and

1486
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 3: be in his backyard because nothing good can come out

1487
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 3: of it, even if I give me the dog. And yeah,

1488
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 3: but by the time I get out, it's no yelling. Man.

1489
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 3: We just had a kid get shot in the head

1490
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 3: for just ringing the wrong doorbell.

1491
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right.

1492
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,679
Speaker 3: They just killed a lady for pulling into the driveway

1493
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 3: to make a U turn. If my big ass climb

1494
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 3: your fence in a spring, I didn't climb any fence.

1495
01:28:33,439 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 2: I didn't climb a fence, just like you know, you

1496
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 2: know it was this area that I'm like, I thought

1497
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 2: this was just area between homes, and I ran through

1498
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 2: it and I took the left of.

1499
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:46,840
Speaker 1: The someone's driveway.

1500
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 3: Now danger, danger will where Ibn said, I hear you.

1501
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 3: Penny just gonna have to find her.

1502
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Way on back home. That's right. Like I don't love

1503
01:28:58,760 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 1: the dog.

1504
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 3: Hey man, look I've had her a long time. She

1505
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 3: get home as you know where she needs to be.

1506
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 3: She knows where she needs to be.

1507
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,680
Speaker 1: Gosh. But anyway, well, I'm glad she was.

1508
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 3: Able to take your mind off that drubbing that Laden State.

1509
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:18,800
Speaker 3: They didn't win.

1510
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: They beat them down. Man.

1511
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:22,560
Speaker 3: It was I mean it was. They took control of

1512
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 3: the gamers. They won, They won every quarter, and so

1513
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 3: it just they came to play. We knew this is

1514
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:34,520
Speaker 3: the team that the Lakers are at home. They're undefeated

1515
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 3: at home. They have a pretty good record at home

1516
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 3: since the uh the trade dead line and so on

1517
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 3: and so forth. So the Lakers play extremely well at home.

1518
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:46,600
Speaker 3: They can't sneak one in, and I think that's what

1519
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 3: gives them the advantage. They can sneak a road game in,

1520
01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 3: they'll get one if they get one of those.

1521
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: Oh it's a rap.

1522
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 3: It's a rap.

1523
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Well the Nuggets. The Nuggets are interesting.

1524
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 2: I wonder I'd love to hear more on this coming

1525
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: up next, about your actual basketball breakdown of this, because

1526
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 2: the Lakers have been fantastic at home.

1527
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:09,440
Speaker 1: You already spoke tonight.

1528
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 2: On the home court advantage that the Denver Nuggets have,

1529
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 2: and quietly sometimes when a team, especially like a team

1530
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:20,640
Speaker 2: that's the one seed, because they've got a history of

1531
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 2: just kind of being eh, like, okay, you're a playoff team.

1532
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 1: Whatever. You know, the whole thing you've been telling me,

1533
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:30,879
Speaker 1: don't sleep on the Lakers.

1534
01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,560
Speaker 2: We might be getting to a spot though, where the

1535
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:37,839
Speaker 2: world is sleeping on the Nuggets as well. I remember

1536
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 2: the conversation surrounding the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs last year.

1537
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 2: The Warriors eliminated the Nuggets last year, and Nicola Jokics

1538
01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 2: was the MVP, but the thought was, man, Jamal Murray's

1539
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 2: not here, Porter's not here. Jokis really was having what

1540
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 2: I like to call a Westbrook season, which is that

1541
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,200
Speaker 2: everything around him just left and was gone, and he

1542
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 2: was this really good player and he won an MVP.

1543
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 2: Same thing happened to Russ the year after Kevin Durant

1544
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 2: left Oklahoma City, and so the thought at that time was, boy,

1545
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:16,679
Speaker 2: if those guys come back in Denver's healthy, this team

1546
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 2: could be a problem. And then that's exactly what happened,

1547
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 2: and we sort of just fell asleep at the idea

1548
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 2: because we're I feel like it's just habit like Denver okay,

1549
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 2: but is that Are you actually gonna win something that matters?

1550
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: Probably not.

1551
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 2: So when there's Lebron and Anthony Davis coming to town,

1552
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 2: I think we're conditioned to be like, well, here comes

1553
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 2: the championship pedigree. But quietly, maybe Denver has been the

1554
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 2: team all along this year. They're the one seat and

1555
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 2: they're healthy and I mean the clowning people on the

1556
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 2: road the other night.

1557
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a hell of an interesting.

1558
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,960
Speaker 3: Series, no doubt. Oh yeah, this is top billy. Now,

1559
01:31:59,320 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 3: what does what you want?

1560
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: Hold your break down? Because I really want to hear

1561
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 1: what you think.

1562
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,800
Speaker 2: X's and o's uh, because they're not gonna have the

1563
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 2: size advantage on Denver the way they did on Golden State,

1564
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 2: So it's gonna have to be something different.

1565
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:15,000

Speaker 2: Req dot Com Studios, Okay Brother Tuesday Night, Mile High City.

1572
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lakers could steal one.

1573
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:56,120
Speaker 2: Nuggets look pretty good on the road lately themselves, look

1574
01:32:56,160 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 2: pretty dominant at home themselves. Not gonna be able to

1575
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 2: necessarily use their length and push them around inside the

1576
01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:08,400
Speaker 2: way they were Golden State, who doesn't have anybody over

1577
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 2: six foot eight tall.

1578
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 3: So what do you think. I think it's gonna be

1579
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:20,719
Speaker 3: a good matchup. I think because Denver has size inside

1580
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 3: and on the perimeter. I think the one advantage that

1581
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:30,360
Speaker 3: the Lakers have over the Denver Nuggets, you know, outside

1582
01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 3: of you know, having the Lakers have more depth than

1583
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets. Denver Nuggets plays seven people, and outside of

1584
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,639
Speaker 3: the starters, they don't get that much from the bench

1585
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 3: in terms of, you know, scoring. The Lakers have had

1586
01:33:55,200 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 3: guys in both series come off the bench and be huge.

1587
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,640
Speaker 3: So it's becoming a thing that's happening that there's more

1588
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 3: trust there. I think the Lakers have that advantage. Is

1589
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 3: that enough to turn the tide for LA against Denver?

1590
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,280
Speaker 3: I think Jokic is going to have to really guard

1591
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis, which I don't think he can. That's the

1592
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 3: one thing. The last time they played in twenty twenty,

1593
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:37,839
Speaker 3: they got him in early foul trouble because of Ady's

1594
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 3: quickness at the high post. Pretty much the same thing

1595
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 3: he was doing the Looney just going around him. The

1596
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 3: difference is you gotta guard Jokic like he is. He's

1597
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:53,560
Speaker 3: the everything, best passer on the team, best scorer on

1598
01:34:53,640 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 3: the team, best rebounder on the team, like he can

1599
01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 3: average a triple double in the series if you let

1600
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 3: him so, you have to make him uncomfortable and you

1601
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 3: have to make him work on the defensive side of

1602
01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 3: the game. I think if the Lakers get out and run,

1603
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 3: you can nullify him a little bit because he does.

1604
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 3: You know, the reason he brings the ball up the

1605
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 3: court is because he brings it at his pace. You

1606
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 3: don't want to send Murray and and Porter and just

1607
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 3: flying down the court without him. He brings the ball up.

1608
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 3: He has a good handle. But if you pressure that.

1609
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 3: He's not going to be able to bring the ball

1610
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,439
Speaker 3: up like that if you if you pressure him right,

1611
01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 3: if you put Vanderbilt on him as he's bringing the

1612
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 3: ball up and then have ad switch off on him

1613
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 3: when he gets across, that's going to create problems. He's

1614
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:49,600
Speaker 3: a good ball handler, but he's not that So I

1615
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 3: think there's different things that the Lakers can do to

1616
01:35:53,400 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 3: make the Joker uncomfortable. Will that be enough? You know,

1617
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 3: I don't know. I know Lebron and a D. A

1618
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 3: D can't give us those one on one off games,

1619
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:11,160
Speaker 3: and he cleaned that up at the end of that

1620
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 3: that Golden State series. But we need every we need

1621
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 3: everybody every game in order for the Lakers to unseat

1622
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets. They got a home court for for

1623
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 3: a reason. They can play up there. Man, it's hard.

1624
01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 3: It's hard to play up there.

1625
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 2: You know what I think applies less this year than

1626
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,839
Speaker 2: maybe in years past. And that's not just this series,

1627
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 2: but we always hear when it comes to this time

1628
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,639
Speaker 2: of the season in the NBA. We we hear about

1629
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 2: championship pedigree. And there's only one team left now who's

1630
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:54,680
Speaker 2: star has won and and and that's the Lakers that

1631
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 2: that's it. But I also I think about how this

1632
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 2: season and how tight everything is the parody around the league,

1633
01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:09,840
Speaker 2: that maybe the idea of championship pedigree has also been

1634
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 2: debunked a little bit, at least for this year.

1635
01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it doesn't matter. I've always just thought.

1636
01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 2: Championship pedigree really just boils down to know how, it

1637
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:22,960
Speaker 2: boils down to experience. It boils down to having been

1638
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 2: there and therefore not freaking out in those moments. And

1639
01:37:27,200 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 2: I think that that doesn't really have an effect on

1640
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:33,439
Speaker 2: most NBA playoff games. There are certain moments where it

1641
01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:36,360
Speaker 2: comes into play. Best example I can think of so

1642
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:42,639
Speaker 2: far in these playoffs Golden State at Sacramento, Game seven, right, like, okay, right, well,

1643
01:37:42,680 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 2: oh gosh, all of a sudden, here we are, tie

1644
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:48,160
Speaker 2: game halftime, let's go, we got home court. Oh my god,

1645
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 2: you just got overwhelmed by the weight of the whole thing.

1646
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,160
Speaker 2: And Steph goes for fifty and the Warriors win going

1647
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 2: away by twenty. But I don't think it matters for

1648
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 2: most games. And and here would be the example. Look

1649
01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 2: at Giannie's playoffs this year. The hell did championship pedigree do?

1650
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 2: Look at Klay Thompson did get hurt. Well, yeah, but

1651
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 2: he also came back and lost in five.

1652
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I get it. I don't think think it's

1653
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 3: different if he doesn't get that bad contusion.

1654
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 2: Okay, And you might be right, Like where was Klay

1655
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,959
Speaker 2: Thompson's championship pedigree on Friday three for nineteen?

1656
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1657
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: So like great championship pedigree? Like cool, dude, Like you

1658
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

1659
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 2: So I don't know, like the Lakers have that, But

1660
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 2: for that to come into play, you've got to get

1661
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 2: late into a series and have moments that feel like

1662
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 2: they could emotionally overwhelm the other teams. And I'm looking

1663
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 2: at the stars who haven't done it, and they've all

1664
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 2: sort of been there, they haven't gone over the top.

1665
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 2: But am I supposed to believe that Jason Tatum, who

1666
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 2: has now six NBA Finals games and won a Game

1667
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 2: six on the road and a Game seven at home just.

1668
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:14,719
Speaker 1: This week, is he going to get overwhelmed by the moment?

1669
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 2: Is Nikola Jokic, who if it gets to a Game

1670
01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 2: seven is going to have home court in the Mile

1671
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 2: High and has been a multi time MVP. Is he

1672
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 2: going to be like, oh my gosh, this is too

1673
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:29,000
Speaker 2: much for me and Jimmy Buckets, what the hell has

1674
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:29,719
Speaker 2: he not seen?

1675
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

1676
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 3: Man like that they're the only team who has it.

1677
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 3: I don't know if it matters this year. I think

1678
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 3: experience does matter. I think what the Celtics were able

1679
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:51,679
Speaker 3: to do in Game six helps that experience, being down

1680
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:55,639
Speaker 3: the way they were in the fourth quarter and being

1681
01:39:55,720 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 3: able to pull that game out in an elimination game.

1682
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:06,160
Speaker 3: We saw that paid dividends. The next game, we saw

1683
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 3: those fifty five fifty five and then they just went crazy.

1684
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:12,080
Speaker 3: They just put their foot on the gas and took off,

1685
01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 3: and so all of that matters. All of that counts.

1686
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 3: The thing people are waiting on dem Denver has been

1687
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 3: good for five years. Denver has been good for five years,

1688
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:29,719
Speaker 3: but have they been good enough? They've held the number

1689
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:33,560
Speaker 3: one seed, but have they been good enough? And I

1690
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:39,720
Speaker 3: think that's the difference, Like why now, right? Why do

1691
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 3: you think they can get over that home eventually? Yeah,

1692
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 3: you have to get over the help, but standing in

1693
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:50,240
Speaker 3: your way as a team that wanted three years ago

1694
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 3: and went through you, And I think that matters because

1695
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,920
Speaker 3: at no point would the moment get too big for

1696
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:11,600
Speaker 3: the best two players on that team on Lakers. So

1697
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 3: if you look at Jamal Murray, is he going to

1698
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 3: be well, you know, Yok's gonna be him, He's gonna

1699
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 3: be the joker. But can you can can Jamal Murray

1700
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:27,840
Speaker 3: bring that energy because he had a great game won

1701
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 3: and then kind of you know, struggle a little bit.

1702
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:37,760
Speaker 3: There's those there's those things that we're gonna make it

1703
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 3: difficult for you. I mean, they were going against a

1704
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 3: depleted Son's team who was a two headed monster and

1705
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 3: that's it. They had zero else we knew just the

1706
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:55,679
Speaker 3: wearing down of those two guys was I mean, Devin

1707
01:41:55,720 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 3: Booker couldn't shoot sixty five the whole series, right, But

1708
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 3: that's what it was going to take. And once you

1709
01:42:03,560 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 3: know where it's coming from, then you can you can

1710
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 3: you can do something about it. But when you don't know,

1711
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:14,719
Speaker 3: when you're going against a full team, then that's that's

1712
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 3: something that's difficult to deal with.

1713
01:42:18,360 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 2: Speaking of stars, with Championship Pedigoal, there is well see now,

1714
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 2: hold On, I was actually going to say, there's a

1715
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:31,080
Speaker 2: there's another team out there that that may need to

1716
01:42:31,200 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 2: go a different direction. But yeah, Christy, we do have

1717
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:36,920
Speaker 2: our own We do have our own championship pedigree. We

1718
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 2: do have experience in the form of Steve Desange.

1719
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:44,719
Speaker 6: Hello, gentlemen, and you mentioned earlier about well I mentioned

1720
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 6: also about the Lakers haven't lost at home in the

1721
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 6: most season. You were talking about Denver at home. Not

1722
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 6: only one seed in the West, They're undefeated at home

1723
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 6: this postseason, which means Denver's home record is up to

1724
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:57,720
Speaker 6: forty and seven right now, and they'll be hosting the

1725
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 6: Lakers in Game one of the West Final on Tuesday night.

1726
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:05,799
Speaker 6: Stunning stat that continues to be true about the Lakers franchise.

1727
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 6: Remember first round, they won Game one on the road

1728
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 6: and took Memphis in six. Second round, they took Game

1729
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,280
Speaker 6: one at Golden State and took the series in six.

1730
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 6: The Lakers franchise, when they win game one of a series,

1731
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 6: they've won thirty two straight playoff series. That is the

1732
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 6: NBA record. They're gonna have to steal a game at

1733
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 6: some point in Denver in this series, you think, so,

1734
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 6: why not?

1735
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:30,840
Speaker 3: Game one?

1736
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 6: By the way, NBA Draft lottery is Tuesday before the

1737
01:43:33,520 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 6: Conference Finals begin. Each series in the Conference Finals rum

1738
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,679
Speaker 6: who's gonna get him? Each series will have a game

1739
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 6: every other night. It'll be quite easy to follow this

1740
01:43:43,400 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 6: and everything starts at eight thirty Eastern. Celtics will be

1741
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,479
Speaker 6: there Wednesday, hosting Miami in Game one of the East Finals.

1742
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,760
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum last game started one to fifteen shooting from

1743
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 6: the floor. Slightly better start today and he finished with

1744
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:59,520
Speaker 6: fifty one points, a new game seven record. Boston eliminates

1745
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 6: philadel I feel one twelve to eighty eight. Second round

1746
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 6: is done. Philadelphia loses another second round series. That's three

1747
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 6: game sevens they've lost in recent years. Coach Doc Rivers

1748
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:13,599
Speaker 6: in his career has lost a game seven ten times.

1749
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:17,719
Speaker 6: It just forget game seven with a chance to close

1750
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 6: out an opponent in a playoff series. Doc Rivers teams

1751
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 6: six and sixteen in their last twenty two chances to

1752
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 6: close out an opponent. Stanley Cup playoffs with a late

1753
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 6: start tonight face off after ten pm Easter, And maybe

1754
01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:35,560
Speaker 6: you guys are aware there's Sunday Night Baseball ESPN. It

1755
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 6: was their turn for hockey, so they chose to have

1756
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 6: this Vegas at Edmonton game face off after the baseball

1757
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 6: after ten pm Easter. You know, baseball's been shorter games

1758
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 6: this year, but of course the Red Sox were involved tonight,

1759
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 6: so it went a little bit over. But who cares,

1760
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 6: we'll miss the first four minutes of hockey. Nothing's gonna

1761
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 6: first three minutes. Three goals tonight at Edmonton, none of them,

1762
01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:00,639
Speaker 6: not one without ESPN. So now they joined the game.

1763
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 6: They played ten more minutes, no goals. It's still Oilers

1764
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 6: two to one over Vegas about seven minutes to go

1765
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,679
Speaker 6: in the first period. William Byron won Nascars four hundred.

1766
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 6: The PGA Championship starts Thursday. Jason Day shot a final

1767
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:17,599
Speaker 6: round sixty two at the Byron Nelson today in Texas

1768
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 6: and took that event by one stroke. Dustin Johnson won

1769
01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:23,760
Speaker 6: the live golf event in a playoff in Tulsa. The

1770
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 6: Sunday night ballgame at Boston went to the Cardinals nine

1771
01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:29,599
Speaker 6: to one. Nolan Arenato homer for the third straight game there.

1772
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 6: Dodgers won their fifth in a row four nothing over

1773
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 6: the Padres, whose record is nineteen and twenty two. Texas

1774
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:39,599
Speaker 6: won again eleven three at Oakland. You want bad records,

1775
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 6: the A's are nine and thirty three in today's game,

1776
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 6: four errors, thirteen strikeouts. At home, the A's are four

1777
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:52,120
Speaker 6: and eighteen attendance under eight thousand today, It was eight thousand. Yesterday,

1778
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:55,880
Speaker 6: it was about six thousand. Friday night. Thursday's game in Oakland,

1779
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,679
Speaker 6: attendance was two thousand and nine forty nine.

1780
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 3: Just for the record, that's with a two, he said.

1781
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 6: And it's only May Minnesota and Toronto with wins, Tampa

1782
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 6: Bay with another victory eight seven at the Yank He's

1783
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:09,640
Speaker 6: back to here.

1784
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:12,320
Speaker 3: That's a high school basketball game.

1785
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:18,200
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, that's that is something else. Thank you, Steve,

1786
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 1: appreciate it.

1787
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:25,560
Speaker 2: Hey, Ephraim, shout out Depth, Shout out to depth. You

1788
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:27,760
Speaker 2: and I sat here and we were one of the

1789
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 2: first to have the opportunity to react.

1790
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 1: I remember this show.

1791
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,160
Speaker 2: So the moves made by the Dallas Mavericks and the

1792
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns, the Brooklyn Nets busted it up and sent

1793
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:41,240
Speaker 2: everybody out west.

1794
01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:46,440
Speaker 1: Here comes Kad, here comes Kyrie, and how is anybody

1795
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:48,639
Speaker 1: gonna stop these teams?

1796
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 3: Yep.

1797
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:57,680
Speaker 2: So here's what I was thinking, because if you look

1798
01:46:57,760 --> 01:47:01,719
Speaker 2: around the league, and I'm not so prized, not because

1799
01:47:01,760 --> 01:47:05,120
Speaker 2: it didn't go well, sometimes it does. Look who who

1800
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 2: obviously you know, damn well, who won the trade deadline?

1801
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 2: And all the articles oh Dallas and Phoenix. No, the Lakers.

1802
01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 2: The Lakers won the trade deadline, and they didn't get

1803
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:19,320
Speaker 2: any stars. In fact, they got rid of a supposed one.

1804
01:47:20,640 --> 01:47:23,639
Speaker 2: What they got were pieces because they've already got their stars.

1805
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 2: And I look around the league and I and I

1806
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 2: think about the the underdiscust point of the NBA, which

1807
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 2: is all the other people on rosters, not the stars.

1808
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 2: We've turned the NBA and this is the Jordanizing of

1809
01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:47,280
Speaker 2: the league. We've turned the whole league into who's the

1810
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 2: best player? And and and he's like Joe LMBI, now

1811
01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 2: is gonna have this horrible offseason because oh he had

1812
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:56,880
Speaker 2: a he's the star, he's the MVP, and he had

1813
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:02,920
Speaker 2: a bad final game. Okay, Jason Tatum had bad final

1814
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:07,040
Speaker 2: games last year in the NBA Finals. We'll see what

1815
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 2: he does this time. We tend to only remember the

1816
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 2: last game. But the bottom line is, it's not only

1817
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,400
Speaker 2: about these guys. It's not to make excuses for him.

1818
01:48:17,960 --> 01:48:20,760
Speaker 2: But what did the Lakers do at the deadline? It

1819
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 2: was all about depth. What's different in the Golden State

1820
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:30,760
Speaker 2: Warriors from last year championship to this year second round out?

1821
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 2: What's different? Stars are the same, the starting lineup did

1822
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 2: not change. So what happened there? Why did the Mavericks

1823
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:43,799
Speaker 2: not even make the playoffs? Why did the Phoenix Suns

1824
01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:48,320
Speaker 2: not necessarily gel? Meantime, here are the Sacramento Kings, who

1825
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 2: took a huge leap as an organization.

1826
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: Had they do it? Dude? They played ten deep. Yep.

1827
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:58,840
Speaker 2: They got all these people all over the place, right.

1828
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 2: They come at you from all kinds of different angles.

1829
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 2: I'm fascinated to see where that goes next. Boston makes

1830
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 2: the finals, loses in six games, and makes a big

1831
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 2: swing to get yet another major piece off the bench,

1832
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 2: Malcolm Brogden.

1833
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 1: They're still playing.

1834
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 2: So when you make a move like the Suns did,

1835
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:22,679
Speaker 2: let's gather all our other people and give them away.

1836
01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 1: Because Kevin Durant, well, okay.

1837
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:34,920
Speaker 2: If you say so, because I would argue that Dallas

1838
01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 2: and Phoenix are now in horrible situations because they made

1839
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 2: those deals and they didn't work.

1840
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,120
Speaker 3: And you're right, and you called it. I thought that

1841
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 3: Dallas would be able to outscore. They couldn't even outscore people.

1842
01:49:48,600 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 1: They couldn't out score themselves. When you give up even

1843
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: stay on the court.

1844
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 3: What we realize, especially in the playoffs, and we know this,

1845
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:01,559
Speaker 3: that depth is key. You gotta be able to sit

1846
01:50:01,720 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 3: someone down. Right Now, there may become a game where

1847
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 3: your guys have to give you forty two forty eight minutes, okay,

1848
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:16,240
Speaker 3: but it can't be the whole series. Someone's got to

1849
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 3: be able to come in and not only score, right.

1850
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 3: I think that's the misconception when we talk about depth

1851
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 3: coming off the bench. Yeah, you need a guy to

1852
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:28,920
Speaker 3: come in and be able to get points and be

1853
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 3: able to score, but you need people to come in

1854
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 3: and be able to play defense to stop people from scoring.

1855
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:41,840
Speaker 3: And I think that was one of the things that

1856
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 3: the Lakers addressed. Shruder is a dynamic on ball defender.

1857
01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is even Rory can guard bigger guys, not good

1858
01:50:55,560 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 3: with young against smaller guards, but he's long, so he

1859
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 3: can guard a wing defender. And then you have a

1860
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,839
Speaker 3: D in the post. I really wish they kept Bryant.

1861
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 3: I know he wanted to be traded, but god, I

1862
01:51:13,320 --> 01:51:18,479
Speaker 3: would if we man him and in KD I mean

1863
01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 3: and and uh a D would have been tremendous. Now

1864
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:28,600
Speaker 3: we don't have Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee like we

1865
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:31,160
Speaker 3: had in the bubble, like they they were just throwing

1866
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:37,360
Speaker 3: bodies at that at Jokic and he'd struggled. So I'll

1867
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 3: be interested to see, you know, they ad to dust

1868
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:43,400
Speaker 3: off Tristan Thompson like he's gonna have to come in

1869
01:51:43,439 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 3: there and play hard nosed defense and and be able

1870
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 3: to switch out like it's it's gonna be a chess match.

1871
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see it because I want to

1872
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:53,760
Speaker 3: see what the Lakers are gonna do. And shout out

1873
01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:56,040
Speaker 3: to Darvin ham Man. He's figuring this thing out as

1874
01:51:56,360 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 3: on the go as a rookie coach.

1875
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean they listen. I could make the case.

1876
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:05,920
Speaker 2: It would be a little intricate, but I could make

1877
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 2: the case that Lonnie Walker won the series. Oh yeah,

1878
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 2: because that was the game. That was the game, that's

1879
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:15,560
Speaker 2: where the series turned. The Warriors had the game the

1880
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 2: whole night. It was not like they were blowing them out,

1881
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 2: but they were the better team the whole night, and

1882
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Speaker 2: they blew it in the fourth quarter because they made

1883
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,799
Speaker 2: poor selections on shots.

1884
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:28,480
Speaker 1: And that man, Lonnie Walker was amazing. He was amazing.

1885
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:31,600
Speaker 2: He was ice cold, and and I mean that in

1886
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 2: he wasn't nice cold as a shooter. I mean in

1887
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 2: his veins and uh here was fantastic, and he won

1888
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 2: the basketball game and they won the series because of it.

1889
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:42,640
Speaker 2: And he's got nothing to do with Lebron James or

1890
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,599
Speaker 2: Andy Davis or championship pedigree.

1891
01:52:44,800 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 1: He's Lonnie Walker, so that stuff matters.

1892
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 2: Man.

1893
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he you know, he came now, he came

1894
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 3: from a place where sure you know, he was getting coached,

1895
01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 3: and you need guys who can come in who've been

1896
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:02,519
Speaker 3: coached and know their role and be ready for their role.

1897
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:06,960
Speaker 3: Not dropping your head. Your body language is everything. Man.

1898
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 3: We saw it with Jordan Poole every time we got

1899
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 3: sub about the game, soaked, shoulders down, stomping out right,

1900
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 3: like all that matters, bro, Like, come sit down, what

1901
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:22,479
Speaker 3: you're doing.

1902
01:53:25,040 --> 01:53:25,639
Speaker 1: But he can't.

1903
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:28,560
Speaker 3: He couldn't guard anyone. You couldn't put him on the

1904
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,959
Speaker 3: court because he can't can't guard anybody.

1905
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:36,280
Speaker 2: Defense. It's a terrible defensive place. There's ridiculous, terrible, terrible

1906
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:41,560
Speaker 2: defensive player. So, uh yeah, that that part it was

1907
01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:45,599
Speaker 2: not news to to anybody. Mark Willard, a from Salaam.

1908
01:53:46,360 --> 01:53:49,040
Speaker 2: We haven't gotten anything in the NFL tonight, even though

1909
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:51,040
Speaker 2: the schedule came out this week. There's something I'd like

1910
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:55,160
Speaker 2: to point out that I thought stood out and we'll

1911
01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:57,360
Speaker 2: get to that coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

1912
01:53:57,840 --> 01:54:04,120
Speaker 5: Tatum right corner against them, Tata Pros fifty piece, he said.

01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:05,240

Speaker 2: He showed, oh, Jason Tatum, that was special WBZ ninety

Speaker 2: It's Mark Witherdney from Salam live from the tire Rack

1922
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 2: dot Com Studios, New York Jets.

1923
01:54:38,040 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 1: Five primetime games. It's funny, right, yeah, of course, of course,

1924
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: it's of course, of course, and uh, you know we'll

1925
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 1: be there for all of them. We'll be there for

1926
01:54:53,160 --> 01:54:54,200
Speaker 1: all of them. I get it.

1927
01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 2: I want to see it too. Just fascinating though. You

1928
01:54:57,400 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 2: look around the league and he's box office. He's box office,

1929
01:55:02,840 --> 01:55:05,400
Speaker 2: and the teams that are going to get the primetime

1930
01:55:05,560 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 2: games are largely the teams who have those guys. But

1931
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 2: I also wonder, you know, you go over to the NFC.

1932
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:20,600
Speaker 2: I guess my question would be how many quarterbacks in

1933
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 2: the NFL are actually box office? Because if we take

1934
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:30,320
Speaker 2: it over to the other conference, I could almost make

1935
01:55:30,440 --> 01:55:33,960
Speaker 2: the case, now that Aaron Rodgers has switched, that there

1936
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 2: are let me hang on, let me count. Let's see

1937
01:55:36,560 --> 01:55:41,080
Speaker 2: Tom Brady retired Aaron Rodgers, with you two three four

1938
01:55:41,560 --> 01:55:47,680
Speaker 2: zero box office quarterbacks? Z row in the whole NFC now,

1939
01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Jalen Hurts, My apologies to you.

1940
01:55:52,040 --> 01:55:53,840
Speaker 1: You're on your way. That was one year.

1941
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 2: But right like he not Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes

1942
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 2: or Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, Dak Prescott has the name value.

1943
01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:06,920
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers seem to be a team. People

1944
01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 2: don't like whatever. They think they're good no matter who.

1945
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't know who the quarterback is gonna be. Yeah,

1946
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 2: it's Brock Purty. He's not a box office guy. But

1947
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,400
Speaker 2: it's interesting. You know, Derek Carr goes to New Orleans.

1948
01:56:20,720 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 2: Who's box office at that position in the NFC.

1949
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 3: The closest thing would be Jalen Hurts. That's that's it,

1950
01:56:33,200 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 3: That's all you got, must see TV. It's a void

1951
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 3: of top tier quarterbacks in the NFC, and we knew

1952
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:48,800
Speaker 3: that it was only what one and a half last year,

1953
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:52,240
Speaker 3: so and he was and Aaron Rodgers wasn't box office

1954
01:56:52,240 --> 01:56:52,520
Speaker 3: at all.

1955
01:56:53,400 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 1: Nope.

1956
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:58,200
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm looking forward to see what happens

1957
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 3: in Chicago. I think it's time for him to take

1958
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:12,960
Speaker 3: a bigger leap, a bigger step. They've done some things

1959
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 3: to give him some help.

1960
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

1961
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 3: And I think justin Phiel's this is his time. This

1962
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:22,880
Speaker 3: is if he's going to be able to do it,

1963
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 3: we need to see it now. Uh, and everybody else.

1964
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, right, yeah, I mean Stafford is he hurt?

1965
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:40,240
Speaker 1: Geno Smith? Can you do it again? Rock Purty? Can

1966
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 1: you do it again? Kyler? Are you healthy?

1967
01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:48,960
Speaker 2: Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Prime Time, We can go on

1968
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:53,320
Speaker 2: and on and on, Dak Prescott, Right, it's all disappointed.

1969
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:57,360
Speaker 2: And then you go to the AFC. Listen, listen to

1970
01:57:57,520 --> 01:58:02,919
Speaker 2: the Turnstiles, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson,

1971
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert even even have to go back

1972
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:11,560
Speaker 2: to names in the past, Russell, Wilson, Russell. You know,

1973
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:16,600
Speaker 2: here comes Trevor Lawrence even though this is a muddy answer,

1974
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:20,600
Speaker 2: but a name value. Guy Garoppolo goes to the Raiders

1975
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:23,280
Speaker 2: like the whole conference.

1976
01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:26,080
Speaker 3: To us, and I say, even to it when he's healthy, Like,

1977
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:26,520
Speaker 3: oh my.

1978
01:58:26,720 --> 01:58:31,960
Speaker 1: Gosh, it is just it feels completely out of whack

1979
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:33,040
Speaker 1: right now.

1980
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, every division outside of the AFC South has at

1981
01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 3: least three quarterbacks that are like whoof? So you know,

1982
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 3: hey man, this is gonna be fun to watch. It's

1983
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:56,040
Speaker 3: going to be a bloodbath in the AFC. Yep. I

1984
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:58,240
Speaker 3: can't wait to see who's gonna come away with the

1985
01:58:58,320 --> 01:59:00,640
Speaker 3: buy and the number one seed. That's going to be interesting.

1986
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:07,280
Speaker 3: And there will be no resting people. You need everybody,

1987
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 3: no no, no, no load management, no no, no you

1988
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:14,880
Speaker 3: that's good. That's good to know. You got gotta fight

1989
01:59:14,960 --> 01:59:16,560
Speaker 3: this one out. And I and I and I like that.

1990
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I think.

1991
01:59:21,240 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 3: The and and the because there is avoiding the NFC.

1992
01:59:25,080 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 3: I think that's that it's wide open. It's the Philly

1993
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:29,200
Speaker 3: and everybody else.

1994
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:33,760
Speaker 1: Congrats on your Lakers and six man.

1995
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 3: Thanks brother, I appreciate that. Yeah, you rocking with us?

1996
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,160
Speaker 3: Now you're going with us? Are you going with Denver?

1997
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:42,440
