00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: mentioned that the Dodgers are underdogs tonight. It's been the

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: first time in one hundred and fifty games they're underdogs.

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: I was also I don't know how your week was,

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: but Showhyotani had a better week than you did. Tuesday,

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: hit a home run. Wednesday hit a home run. Thursday

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: pitch six innings, got the win. Friday hit a home run.

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: Saturday hit a home run, Sunday hit a home run.

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Showhyotani had a really good week. We are taking your

17
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: phone calls best and worst to the weekend. What you

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: saw that you liked, you didn't like mcglove and the

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: poll question who had the worst weekend, it's actually Ben

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Simmon seventy one percent. And then Bryson d bow down

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: at twenty percent, So everyone's blaming Ben. Yeah, I think

22
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: we could call that one. Yeah, I think it's over. Well,

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: D was pretty bad. Shohotani's twenty three home runs tied

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: for the most by any Angel through the first seventy

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: games of any season all time. He's tied with Mike Trout,

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: who did it twice. Albert Pooholes hit twenty three home

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: runs at this stage back in twenty fifteen. Email address

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: will join us coming up in a little bit. There's

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: certain stories that will last longer than a weekend. Sometimes

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 1: something happens and then it stays there for a while.

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: And Ben Simmons is going to stay there for a while.

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Lakers situation will stay there the entire summer. Now,

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: A lot of that has to do with the clicks

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: that you get. The media will keep those stories alive.

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: But this is a big story in Philadelphia obviously with

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers what do they do in the offseason? A

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: big story in Los Angeles. But really the NBA community,

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is a big question mark. And I don't

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: think Doc rivers you know, did Ben Simmons uh, you

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: know any positives here? I think Doc was honest, he

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: got he got an honest question, gave an honest answer.

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it was a situation where

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: he should have tried to deflect it just a little bit.

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: Here is Doc with a back and forth with a reporter.

53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: You think Simmons you can still be a point guard

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: for for a championship team like the one you guys

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: want to become. Yeah, David, I don't know that question

56
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: or the answer to that right now. You know, so,

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. You when you

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: say that in the gym with him, what what's to

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: be done? We obviously get Yeah, I mean I between

60
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Ben and I see, I think that he gave an

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: honest answer, and then he deflected. I think, if you're

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: going to deflect, deflect up top, not at the very end.

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: And Docusy does that and he talks about Ben Simmons.

64
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: He has Ben's back, but in this situation, and I'm

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: going to talk to Reggie Miller about this. I brought

66
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: this up with Reggie last year. I said, if Ben

67
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Simmons reached out to you, and he said, I'd gladly

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: work with him and help him. This isn't just about form.

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: This is more about the mental process with this, because

70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: he didn't even want to take shots. He passed up

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: a dunk when the only guy he had to worry

72
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: about was Trey Young and the fact that you're not

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: even he's not taking shots. He's not scoring, but he's

74
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: not even taking shots in the fourth quarter, and Ben

75
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Simmons talked about that play specifically where he passed up

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: the dunk. You gave up a dunk opportunity right there.

77
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: And I know you're a past first guy, but you're

78
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: also six ten and two forty. Is there something going

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: on in your head where you just you just feel

80
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: like you can't shoot at Sometimes No, I do assume

81
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Gallows coming over my back and then Collins moved out,

82
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: and so I thought he said a right over and dunk.

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, that's not the case. Now he can say that,

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: but nobody's buying that because if Gallinari is on your back, okay,

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: so what you got positioned dunk? What's the worst thing

86
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: that happens? Oh, that's right, you get fouled and go

87
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: to the free throw line. Now what do you do

88
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: in the off season. You know you're not going to

89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: get dollar for dollar if you trade him, and you

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't expect that. It's not like you go, yeah, we

91
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: trade him to Portland and we get Damian Lillard. No,

92
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I would lower my expectations. Maybe if you trade him

93
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: to Portland and get CJ. McCollum, Okay, then at least

94
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: we could have a conversation about it. But Ben Simmons

95
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: right now, he's damaged goods paying him a lot of

96
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: money and he doesn't perform up to that level. He

97
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: just doesn't. He's not that kind of player. I mean,

98
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: you give me fourteen eight and eight and I go, yeah, no,

99
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: not in today's game. I mean, it's it's hard not

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: to average if you're a marquee player. It's hard not

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: to average twenty points again, really is in today's game.

102
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody is scoring. Scoring is up all time high.

103
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 1: But he doesn't give you the threat of a two pointer,

104
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: let alone a three pointer. And he doesn't want to

105
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: go to the free throw line. And it's only going

106
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: to get worse because that's what's happened. He's regret rest

107
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: and you could see it. We saw this with Lonzo Ball,

108
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: where you just you have this mental hurdle because normally,

109
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: when you swing the ball and you're wide open, you

110
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: take the shot. Lonzo doesn't want to take the shot.

111
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: He was better this year. Ben doesn't want the ball

112
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: at all. And you know what they have to do.

113
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: They have to put him inside, so somebody has to

114
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: guard him, because if you put him on the perimeter,

115
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: nobody has to guard Ben Simmons. Here's the person that's

116
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: gotten off Scott Free, I think, and that's James Harden.

117
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Because James Harden in elimination close out games in his career,

118
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: has had eight of those. He's won in seven. Maybe

119
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: he's injured, maybe he's more injured than we thought, but

120
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: this is a habit, this is a pattern. Here. He

121
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: didn't help the Nets. Now, he did come back the

122
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. A lot of this has to do with

123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: James Harden mailed it in when he started the season.

124
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: He was not in shape and it caught up to him.

125
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a bad year for the Nets. Really.

126
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: It was get to the finals. At least get to

127
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: the finals, and they didn't get there. Give credit to

128
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: the Bucks. They came up big when they needed to. Finally,

129
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Jannis played extremely well. You had a good team effort

130
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: there with Milwaukee to bounce the Nets. But man, you

131
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: start to take inventory with the Nets, and there were

132
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: some guys who did not want the ball. There were

133
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: some alligator arms there. You know, game on the line,

134
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: and Durant wanted the ball. Everybody knew he was getting

135
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: the ball. And he still had a miraculous series, a wonderful,

136
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: wonderful playoff run here re establishing himself as the best

137
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: player in the game. Perhaps I think recency biased. You

138
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: would say he's best player in the game right now,

139
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: but he's not around Devin Booker coming out partying, Trey

140
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Young coming out party. That's fun. Can't help it. Look

141
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: at the Utah Jazz and say you had your opportunity

142
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: what could have been even though Donovan Mitchell wasn't one

143
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: hundred percent, Mike Conley was not one hundred percent, you

144
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: should still and you start out to an oh against

145
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: the Clippers in loose four straight, that that's going to

146
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: leave a mark. Yeah. See. Is it possible, though, that

147
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: we're being too critical of Ben Simmons on passing up

148
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: that dunk because the video looks terrible, but it happened

149
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: really fast. He was basically already under the rim, He

150
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: didn't have his feet set, and he did have a

151
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: guy coming crashing towards him in that split second. Is

152
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: it possible if that's the only thing we're criticizing, then

153
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: I could say, Okay, maybe there's a little gray area there.

154
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Maybe it happens pretty quick. But he didn't. He doesn't

155
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: take any shots in the fourth quarter. Yeah, in the

156
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: last four games. I don't know if he made a

157
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: field goal in the fourth quarter. All you need to

158
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: do is watch Joe Ellenbead's reaction. That's why I don't

159
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: think we're being too critical. Joe Ellenbad's got his arms.

160
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? And so what if

161
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: Gallinari is on your back. Is he going to block

162
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: your dunk? Chances are you're probably going to shoot free throws.

163
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: He did not want to shoot free throws. I'm looking

164
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: at Game seven. Didn't take a field goal attempt fourth quarter.

165
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: Game six, didn't attempt a field goal fourth quarter. Game five,

166
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: didn't attempt a field goal fourth quarter. Game four, did

167
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: not attempt a field goal. Game three, he took one

168
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: and he made one. Game two, he did not take

169
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: a field goal attempt. Game one, he took two and

170
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: made two of them. That's horrible, horrible, Yeah, Paul, it

171
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: is funny though, if you think about it, Simmons passing

172
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: is the right play in that situation based off his

173
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: current state. He's thinking himself, well, I don't want to

174
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: be at the free throw line, and he knows he's

175
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: about to get hacked. I mean again, he shouldn't be

176
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: in the position where he has to give those up.

177
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: But the moment's like, I gotta get rid of this.

178
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: I can't go to the line. He's like almost self

179
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: aware of how bad is it? Yes, yeah, there's no

180
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Yeah, he's aware. Oh I can't have

181
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: the ball too long. They could follow me. Yeah, MC club.

182
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: So why is he on the court? Doc Rember has

183
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: had to think about pulling him? Yeah, and I'd love

184
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: to have had the opportunity. We asked if Doc would

185
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: come on, and they politely, politely declined. But I would

186
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: want to know why not just take him off the floor. Now,

187
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: he might say, well, he helps us in other areas.

188
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's what his answer is going to be.

189
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: But deep down, I know what his true answer would be.

190
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, psychologically, you're going to take your supposed second

191
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: best player off the floor. What's that going to due

192
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: to him? Yeah, mccleman, are you worried the same thing

193
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: could happen with Jannis and the Bucks in the next series?

194
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta knows the game now and a close game? Is

195
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: how big a concern is his free throw shooting? Oh yeah,

196
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a big deal. I mean I would certainly,

197
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, tap into that. I would make him beat me.

198
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: He shot two airballs. He can't, he can't pull the

199
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: trigger in ten seconds. I would gladly put him on

200
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: the free throw line, take my chances, let him shoot threes,

201
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: let him shoot free throws. You know, I just don't

202
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: want to, you know, let him have dunks. Doc Rivers

203
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: has been in a game seven. I think this is

204
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: the fifteenth time he's won. Six of those fifteen. He's

205
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: six and five at home in game sevens Now, these

206
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: are these are defining moments here, Doc. You know Ben Simmons, Yeah, Paul,

207
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: you're going back to what you're saying about comparing Simmons

208
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: to Shack in the situation. Shack's got thirty four and

209
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: seventeen at that point in the fourth quarter. You know, Yeah,

210
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: he was worth the risk because during the normal play

211
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: of the game, he could dominate with dunks and blockshots

212
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: and rebounding him. There was a question with Shaquille when

213
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: his free throws are bad, like hey, can we get

214
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: him out of here or avoid the hacker Shack and

215
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: that was a big problem. But he was too dominant

216
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: other other areas, and he wasn't afraid to go to

217
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: the free throw line, like he took the ball, and

218
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't a guy shooting thirty five percent from the line.

219
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls, Reggie Miller Will joins Tom

220
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: and Tennessee, Hi, Tom, what's on your mind today? Yeah,

221
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: I'd like to bring up Nicky Anderson because he reminds

222
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: me of Ben Simmons. But Nick throughout his career when

223
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: he first came in the NBA, he couldn't shoot more

224
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: than six or seventy feet from the past. He resolved

225
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: post player there, his game got better. He could shoot

226
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: three pointers, he could play defense. He was a pretty

227
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: good player. And I thought heading to a Hall of

228
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Fame career that in the game won against Houston. Yeah,

229
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: it ruined his whole career. Nick Anderson never was the

230
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 1: same player when he missed those free throws. Now, he

231
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: was about a seventy free throw shooter until that game.

232
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: After that game, he hung out on the three point line.

233
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: He was afraid the post because he would get followed.

234
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: He was even afraid to shoot him a three point line.

235
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: He would go twenty five twenty seven feet because no

236
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: one would follow him there. Yeah, it's a great point

237
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: that you bring up, Tom, Thank you. Yeah, I remember Nick.

238
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Nick was on my fantasy team. Nick killed me with

239
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: the free throw percentages. Never forget Nope, I won't. All right,

240
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Reggie mill Are said to join us.

Speaker 1: a Buck blur for you, and I remember, but I

282
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: remember you and I distinctly having that conversation. Hey, Red,

283
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: let's go put down our money on the Milwaukee Bucks

284
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: and the Atlanta Hawks to be in the Eastern Conference Final. Wow.

285
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: All right, before we get to the winning teams, let

286
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: me start with the losing teams. Seems they're more interesting here.

287
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Let me start with Philadelphia. I brought this up to

288
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: you last year. I think I've brought this up to

289
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: you in the last two years with Ben Simmons. Um,

290
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: what would you do with Ben Simmons If you're Philadelphia,

291
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: you want to keep him, So what do you do?

292
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: I think you go out to a hard worse store

293
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: and you buy all the locks possible. You put him

294
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: in a gym and you had locked the door. I think, look, Redge,

295
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: he is going to take a beating this offseason, and

296
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: a little bit rightfully. So. It's not so much that

297
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: he wasn't shooting. He wasn't aggressive at all, And I

298
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: don't mind him missing jump shots or whatever. But put

299
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: pressure on the defense. He wasn't putting any pressure on

300
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta whatsoever. And at six ten and that frame, all

301
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: I gotta do is put him in the midpost and

302
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: let him get a couple of crab dribbles until he

303
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: gets into the paint collapse. The defense. That's being aggressive.

304
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: It's not always taking shots. People assume that when I

305
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: tell people to be aggressive, it's always about shots. Sometimes

306
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: it's good to be a decoy and create offense for others,

307
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: which he's good at. He wasn't even doing that, Dan,

308
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: and that's the problem. Yeah, But now it's mental redge.

309
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: He didn't attempt field goals in the fourth core and

310
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: what's five of the seven games he wasn't. They have

311
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: to put him down in the in the low post

312
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: to hide him because then somebody has to guard him

313
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: down there as a post on the perimeter. Look, as

314
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: much as I love Doc Rivers, I've been on this

315
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 1: show and said he's one of the best coaches, he's

316
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: got to take partial blame of this because, look, we

317
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: all were reading the stats coming into game seven. We

318
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: knew that he hadn't attempted shots. We knew that he

319
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: hadn't been aggressive. This kind of has to go the

320
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: Bullbock has to go a little bit to Doc as well,

321
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: because Doc knew this. But here's the other thing. Where

322
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: does he turn to Is he turning into shake Milton?

323
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: Is he turning to Thible? I mean, where do you

324
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: want him to turn when you have a what twenty three,

325
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: twenty four. I'm not exactly sure how old Ben Simmons is.

326
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Do you crush his confidence by taking him out? I mean,

327
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: are you going to grow with him? So Doc has

328
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: to take has to look at the mirror a little

329
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: bit because Doc left him out there. He left him

330
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: on the island out there as well. But where does

331
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: Doc turn to? But I wonder if he can stay

332
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia? Well, look, someone will open up the piggybang

333
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: for him, you know that, right? Yeah? But I don't

334
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, you're not going to get dollar for

335
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: dollar for him. It's not like, hey, we're gonna trade

336
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: him to Portland to get Dame Lillard, all right? I

337
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: mean I don't. I don't know where you can send

338
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: him in what you could get in return. It almost

339
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: feels like there's a little addition by subtraction here, REGI

340
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: and I think they kind of did that with their

341
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: overall number all pick a few years ago and mark

342
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: el Folts, right, did Mark elle Folts have a little Yeah,

343
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Gibson a hitch and a shot, and he was the

344
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: overall number one pick. He was supposed to be teamed

345
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons. It was supposed to be the back

346
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: court of the future, and it was, you know, addition

347
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: by subtraction again, so you see what you can get,

348
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of first round draft picks, get younger

349
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: and get lucky in the draft again. But I wouldn't

350
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: close the book on Ben Simmons because he is such

351
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: a young player. I agree with you that it is

352
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: mental at this aspect, but this is something that can

353
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: be corrected. It's a shame to see because he's such

354
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: a good kid and he has so much physical talent.

355
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: He just needs he needs a junk. Yeah. But here's

356
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: the thing, though, Reddie, there's one thing his form is

357
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: not good, and then the mental aspect of this. I

358
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: know they're combined because if all of a sudden he

359
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: starts making shots, it's amazing that you feel a lot

360
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: more confident about your game. And I don't know, do

361
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: I work on the mental side of this with Ben

362
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: Simmons and then the physical or just doesn't have to

363
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: be the other way. I think you have to work

364
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: on the mental side first because the physical side will come.

365
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: That's just repetition being the gym and getting your reps

366
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: in the mental approach I think will take longer because

367
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: as you and I know how Philly fans are and

368
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: how Top radio is right as we speak in Philadelphia,

369
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: they are crucifying this young band and mentally, how is

370
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: he going to come to grips with that? And he

371
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: has to get stronger mentally first before the physical aspects

372
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: can can take place. Yeah, he's just gotta try to

373
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: survive until football season starts in Philadelphia. That'll take take

374
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: away the heat from him. Good luck with that, Good

375
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: luck the Nets. Durant was spectacular and I don't know

376
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: James Harden's health status their Rench, but James Harden and

377
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: close out games is I think one and seven now.

378
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: He was not good yesterday either, and well he really

379
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: wasn't good in the three games he came back for

380
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: the Net. Yeah, he was just out there and they

381
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: needed another player with Kyrie being down with the ankle injury.

382
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: And you're right, super human effort by Kevin Durant. But

383
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: I put a tweet out after Game five, after that

384
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: unbelievable game that he had to bring them back when

385
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: they were down double digits against Milwaukee. This is a

386
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: guy that's coming off an Achilles terror and all season long.

387
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: You have rested him and he played forty eight minutes.

388
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: If you would have rested him during the regular season again,

389
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: winning game five, that was the game they needed to

390
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: get to go up three two game six. It's a luxury,

391
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: it's not a necessity. I would have rested him, and

392
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: certainly I would have rested James Harder, who played forty

393
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: five minutes in Game five and gave them five points.

394
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: The fact that they came back and played them in

395
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: game six everyone killed me. You're right, you go after games?

396
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: You go. No, I want to win one game and

397
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll sort the rest out later. I'll push it all

398
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: my chips in the game. Wouldn't you have rather now?

399
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: In hindside, wouldn't you have rather had arrested on three

400
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: days rest Kevin Durant and certainly James Harden for Game seven?

401
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: Did you see how they were just hung over in

402
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: exhaustion both teams. But wouldn't you have loved to have

403
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: had a fresh Kevin Durant and a fresh James Harden

404
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: in game seven? Forty minutes they played in Game six

405
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: and Harden was a little bit better than Game five.

406
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: He didn't shoot the ball right and Katie was Katie.

407
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: But the Bucks played it smarter. Don't blow them out,

408
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: keep it close. So they have to play those minutes

409
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: forty minutes both by them in game six, and they

410
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: come back and would Katie fifty three? He played the

411
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: whole game and overtime and what forty five for James Harden?

412
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Maybe more? And that overtime deciding Game seven. It was

413
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: too much. And I'm top and having said all that,

414
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: they were a size sixteen two on the line from

415
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: winning that. Having me said all that, they still could

416
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: have won that. But I'm just saying I needed one game.

417
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: If I'm in the Nets, I don't care if I'm

418
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna take a beating for not having them playing in

419
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: game six. I want them fresh for Game seven, and

420
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: I'll worry about game one when game one comes in

421
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: the Conference finals. Now, if if the Nets would have

422
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: lost Game five, I never would have said that, because

423
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: that's out of necessity that he gets to play game six.

424
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: But it was a luxury that they won. I don't

425
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: need game six. I need Game seven. The Utah Jazz

426
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: had a great opportunity. Opportunity and uh, I mean, we

427
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: can look at Mike kindly not being in there. I

428
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: mean you win the first two games rege and then

429
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: lose four straight. Yeah, Donovan Mitchell wasn't one hundred percent,

430
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: but still you have home court advantage and the defensive

431
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: player of the year Rudy Gobert, got abused. I I

432
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: don't was this a successful season for the Jazz successful

433
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: regular season? You had the overall best record, you had

434
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: the defensive player of the Year and Rudy Gobert. You

435
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: had the sixth advant of the year in Jordan Clarks.

436
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: But doesn't that make it worse Redge? It does? And

437
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: then you know coach Snyder was almost Coach of the Year,

438
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: so you almost had three of the top awards on

439
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: your team. And yet you're up twenty five in the

440
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: second half on the road, and it's a closeout scenario

441
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: for you. You've got to close the door and by

442
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: any means necessary, you've got to get that Game six

443
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: back to Salt Lake City for Game seven. So how

444
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: you to highlight all that? It's disappointing if you're a

445
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Jazz fan, because you can't be twenty five. Now. Look,

446
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: I know comebacks happen. I've been a part of them,

447
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: and I'm on both sides, But you've got to win

448
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: that game. Dan. You can't be up twenty five in

449
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: the second half. It's one thing to be up early

450
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: twenty five, but in the third quarter with the firepower

451
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: they have, you got to win that game. I'm talking

452
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: to Reggie Miller, who of famer regib on the call

453
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals. That will be Hawks Bucks. That'll be

454
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday at eight thirty Eastern. More of a coming out

455
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: party for Trey Young or Devin Booker in your opinion,

456
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: I think I said on this show the one person

457
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: I was excited to see in these playoffs above everyone

458
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: else was Devin Booker. Real basketball minds like yourself in mind,

459
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: we know, we understand true players. Devin Booker is a

460
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: true He just has been on crappy teams his whole career,

461
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: his whole young career, and we're finally getting a chance.

462
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: We caught a glimpse of it in the bubble last

463
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: season when they went eight to zero and everyone was

464
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: kind of what was the NBA gonna look like? Everyone

465
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: convened in one place, So we caught a glimpse of that.

466
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: Even though they didn't make the playoffs, they're the only

467
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: team to be undefeated down there, and then when they

468
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: added Chris Paul, they exploded this year's second best record

469
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: in the West. But Devin Booker, I've said all along,

470
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: and people thought I was crazy because his idol is

471
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, and he has taken on that mentality, that

472
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: MoMA mentality by any means necessary, and I love the

473
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: dog that's in him, and I'm glad that people are

474
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: finally seen it. Trey Young has been great, Don't get

475
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: me wrong. What he's done on the Eastern shore board

476
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: has been fantastic, taking out the Knicks and the Sixers.

477
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: But Devin Booker, it's it's a I can't believe he

478
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: didn't make one of the All NBA teams. It's I

479
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: can't even I don't know who's voting on this, not me,

480
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: not me. I mean, did the NBA have a good season?

481
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: When you now let me let me preface this. You

482
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: know they wanted a short season, very little offseason, and

483
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: then a battle of injuries with marquee players and now

484
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: four non premier teams remaining in the playoffs. Did the NBA?

485
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: Has the NBA had a good year? Well, one thing

486
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: I will say, I don't want fans hitting me on Twitter,

487
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: hitting you on Twitter. I don't want to hear about

488
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: the spiracy theories anymore. I don't want to hear about

489
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: refs or Adam Silver wanting the big name teams. I

490
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: don't want to hear all that because they had a

491
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: shot to have Brooklyn and Philly in a conference final.

492
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 1: You've got Step out in the playing game, You've got

493
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: Lebron James out in the first round. I don't want

494
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: to hear all that. The best teams winning, what is

495
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: it success. It's time for new Blood. We would never

496
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: know the story of Trey Young, of Devin Booker, of

497
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell to a certain extent if it wasn't for

498
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: these playoffs. So you need new book. Lebron James can't

499
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: play forever, Chris Paul can't play forever. Kevin Durant has

500
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: shown why he was the best player before the Achilles

501
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: injury and after the Achilles injury. But we need some

502
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: of these twenty year olds to show up, and they

503
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: have so. I know the Radians probably won't be great,

504
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: But I love new Blood. I love smaller markets being

505
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: on the biggest stage like Milwaukee. Wait, man, if we

506
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: were doing a pickup game, and it's Lebron and KD

507
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: and you have first pick well pickup game, you need buckets.

508
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm going with Kadi. Okay, if you were going to

509
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: have one guy for a season, just one year, is

510
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: KD better than Lebron James at this point of his career,

511
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: like Lebron at thirty six or Lebron at thirty Right

512
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: now today, are you betting against Lebron? I would never

513
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: bet against Lebron, but right now, right now, what Katie

514
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: showed me those last three ball games. We like to

515
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: call Kawhi Leonard the Terminator because we feel like he's

516
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: a machine. He just does it over and over. For

517
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: this dude to play forty eight, come back with forty

518
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: and come back with fifty three minutes straight and that performance,

519
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: those performances, I'm rolling with Kevin dur Lebron's like the

520
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: terminator man, like I would not bet against him. I

521
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't bet against Brady, I wouldn't bet against Lebron. Just

522
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't look what Katie did. No, No, I understand all

523
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: of that. And Katie is playing better certainly offensively, scoring wise,

524
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: right I just I wouldn't bet against I don't know,

525
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet against Lebron. I just wouldn't. How about this,

526
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: this is the best way. Let's just flip flop them

527
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: on their current teams. Okay, Katie was on the Lakers

528
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: this year versus Phoenix, and Lebron was on Brooklyn in

529
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: that closeout situation versus Milwaukee. Does it end up the

530
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: same way? Um? Yes, yeah, just just flip blop them.

531
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Katie on the Lakers going against Phoenix and Lebron on

532
00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: Brooklyn going against Milwaukee. I'm guessing Durant might have been

533
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: able to carry them. I think scoring wise in the

534
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: first round. Scoring wise, Lebron would have made the nets

535
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: different and the backup players different. You know, it's one

536
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: thing to know you're going to get the ball, as

537
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: opposed to you know, we're just watching KD Lebron. Lebron

538
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: is inclusive, Kadi is not inclusive. Kadi is just dominating.

539
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: So it's it would be a different nets Like I would.

540
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: I would hope that, you know, Joe Harris would actually

541
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: show up like some of the other players would show

542
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: up there and Lebron. Lebron would probably be demanding that

543
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: because he would be inclusive. Whereas Okay, So what I

544
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: just laid out to you is basically been was the

545
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: talk of the eighties and up to the early nineties.

546
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: Would you take Magic Johnson or would you take Michael Jordan,

547
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: because that's basically what we what you just said, one's

548
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: inclusive and one again just a dominant, right, yeah, So

549
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: would you take Magic Johnson he said everyone else up

550
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: and be the winner? Or would you take one of

551
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: the most dominating scores and mentally tough players. Lebron's going

552
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: to be the greatest score of all time. Magic was

553
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: not a scorer like Lebron is one of the great

554
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: scores of all times. So I get Magic distributor, I

555
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: get a better defender, I get now not as good

556
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: a passer, and then I get a far better scorer.

557
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: So Lebron's Lebron's different than Magic. You know, Magic was

558
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: limited offensively, Lebron is not so much, right, Yes, okay,

559
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: all right, all right, that depends if I put Magic

560
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: on the Bulls, do they still win six titles? And

561
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: are you putting MGM later the Big Game James with

562
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: Mike Cooper, with Byron Scott, But how would they have

563
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: done with Jordan? I don't know if they would have

564
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: enjoyed it as much as they did with Magic, right.

565
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they would have been the showtime. It

566
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: would have been showtime. It would have been it would

567
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: have been me time. It would have been Mike time. Yeah,

568
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: Mike darn said that, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid

569
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: of Jordan. He'd say it too, He'd be like, yeah,

570
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: it'd be about me. Though. Would they be as good

571
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: with Mike as opposed to would the Bulls be as

572
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: good with Magic? Maybe not six? I would say four,

573
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Maybe not six, but four. I think the Lakers would

574
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: have too much talent to be denied, whereas I don't.

575
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: As great as Magic was, I don't think the Bulls

576
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: would have had enough scoring around him. I think Mike

577
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: made Steve Kerr or uh Paxson Scotty to a certain degree.

578
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: He made those Judd Bluck muchler. He made those guys relevant.

579
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: Uh what are you? What are you doing today? You

580
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: have no NBA? No, this this is crazy. No, it's good.

581
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: We need to take a breather. That was a That

582
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: was a big weekend. It was that was crazy. Was

583
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: a big weekend to digest. Yeah, look, I'm all in

584
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: for new Blood I know people are probably not happy,

585
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: but are you bet? Could you bet against the Clippers

586
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: right now? Because like when every Phoenix winning it at all? Oh? Really,

587
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: I have Phoenix winning Okay, Okay, I have Phoenix win

588
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: it at all. Okay after being after seeing them up close,

589
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: seeing how their defense is. Now, I'll be curious to

590
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: see conditioning wise how CP three is coming back. Um,

591
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: but if he hasn't missed a beat, I still like

592
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: Phoenix to win it all. That's include was the winner

593
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee Atlanta, which a lot of people are going

594
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: to assume it's Milwaukee. I'm still rolling with Phoenix, all right, Redge,

595
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: Great talk to you, buddy. I love I love these

596
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: spiritual conversations with you. You. This is why our friendship

597
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 1: has endured because a lot of times we may agree

598
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: to disagree, but at the end of the day, I

599
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: always end up agreeing with you there and that we

600
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: had that and shooting in common. Do we do we? Okay?

601
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: We do? Let's sake, No, no, no, no, no. All

602
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: I know is Regg laughed at me, laughed at me

603
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: after a practice in Indiana when I was shooting against

604
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson and I and Reggie wouldn't even stay and watch.

605
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: He wouldn't stand and watch. He laughed at me and

606
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: went into the locker room. That still hurts Redge. It's

607
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: called I was trying to build your common No you

632
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: good morning, What do you have for me? Well, then

633
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: you were talking about your upcoming fly fishing trip with

634
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: your brothers, and I have to tell you this. Last month,

635
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: I got to cross an item off the bucket list.

636
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: I always wanted to go fly fishing. I went up

637
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: to Bryson City, North Carolina, up in the Smoky Mountains,

638
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: and I don't want to brag. I paid a professional

639
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars for our guided tour and in my

640
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: first three cast, don't want to put any pressure on

641
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: junior brothers. I hooked the bush directly behind me my

642
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: first free cast, and I had four hours and forty

643
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: five minutes left to go, and I turned into Bensons

644
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: where I didn't want to cast anymore. I tried to

645
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: get the pro to do it, and it's like, that's

646
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: the whole point apply fishing. You got a cast. It

647
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: was horrible. It's a beautiful sport. Horrible. So good luck

648
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: to you guys. Thank you, Doug, Doug, thank you. Hopefully

649
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: the dog is not biting you there. Yes, Like if

650
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: you didn't want to fish, you can't just stand in

651
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 1: the water with waiters and drink with your buddies, right,

652
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: you have to act. You can't. Yeah, but you gotta participate. No,

653
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: you can just let your line float, you know. I'm

654
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: talking about purely standing there with a beer in your hand,

655
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: just watching your buddies. Sure, keep the fire going or

656
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: something like, I'll just build a whole fire over here.

657
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: My oldest brother can't fish, not at all. He spent

658
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: half the time last time they went fly fishing, like

659
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: getting the you know, the fly untangled. I get he

660
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: had he had an idea what he was doing. That

661
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: doesn't sound fun to me at all. But he had

662
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: a great time. Oh, because it's about bonding. I had

663
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: gone fishing in British Columbia and this is many many

664
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: years ago, and that's uh. When I stayed at the

665
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Sony fishing. Uh, it was like a lodge that the

666
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: head of Sony built a fishing lodge in British Columbia,

667
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, and it was just spectacular. Whales were

668
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: out front, breaching, caught a ton of salmon. It was

669
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. But like you can

670
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: cast if you don't have trees around you, that's part

671
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: of the problem. That's when you wade into the water.

672
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: Because you can, you have more room to be able

673
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: to cast. But it'll be fun. It'll be fun bonding

674
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: trip with my brothers Bob and North Carolina. Hi, Bob, Hello,

675
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: what are you doing there? Dan? Great Bob five eight

676
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: five eight one. That's ten pounds less than before the

677
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: pandemic started. I'm grateful for that. Beside that, my best

678
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: is John rom winning the US Open, and my worst

679
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: is who in des Moines cutting away while a put

680
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: The winning put was on the whole for a weather

681
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: news freak and I was trying to figure out how

682
00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: that could have happened to actually Heather this more worn

683
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: and said it was seven seconds. And I figured the

684
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: news director at who was probably watching the delayed feed

685
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: instead of a live feeding. He said, okay, go is

686
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: that right? I'm not sure Bob. But uh, and I

687
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: don't know who Heather is either, but I'm sorry that

688
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: you had that delay. It feels like he's calling into

689
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: a like a local station to complain to the news director. Yeah, well, Dan,

690
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: you're really not up on your De Moine weathercasters as

691
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: Heather used to be. Yeah, a station Des Moines. I

692
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: guess there was possible tornado. So it wasn't just like sleet.

693
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't just like a storm. They cut away as

694
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: on the final home and who's Heather? We're still looking
