30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: I see that, why ajmsry aj de Boncer think of Yale.

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: It's very close. Totally get that. But yeah, this is

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: what we watch.

33
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: Word.

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: I mean, not that this was like there a number

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: one seed or anything, but you know, you got the

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: star player, could be the number one pick and could

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: be out early. This is what we watched. We were

38
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: talking about that last week, you know, earlier this week.

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: I think it was just confreshman really get it done.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: I'm it's just harder when they're not loaded teams. Everybody

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: in the five five and they didn't even get it done.

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 4: But they got to there. But you mentioned Pistons man

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: rob Gie some some difficult news for them, their star player.

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: They're mister all everything is down right now.

45
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a bad day for us Piston fans right now.

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 6: Detroit basketball is down in a big way. Kate Cunningham

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 6: officially diagnosed with the collapse lung, expected terrible an extended

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 6: period of time. They didn't say initially how long he's

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 6: gonna miss. Later reports confirmed it's gonna be a minimum

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 6: of two weeks. So even though Detroit is a top

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 6: the Eastern Conference, they're currently winning against Washington, it's gonna be

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 6: tough to close the season without.

53
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: Your best player, your only playmaker.

54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 6: And as a sidebar, unless he comes back at exactly

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 6: two weeks, there is a very very good chance that

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 6: he will not be all for any postseason ward. This

57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 6: is a guy who was an MVP candidate as recently

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 6: as two weeks ago. It seemed like a shoe win

59
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 6: for first team All NBA, and now he could be

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 6: left out of the cold completely and rightfully.

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: So if you don't play enough games, and it has

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: anything to do with Caid Cunningham, and he's had a

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: tremendous season, but that's just the rules, and it makes sense.

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: It's always been I talk about it all the time.

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: You don't qualify Major League Baseball if you don't have

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: three point one per played appearances, right, that's what you

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: need for one hundred and sixty two games. If you

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: don't get that, you don't qualify. It's just that simple.

69
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Somebody could play one hundred games in baseball hit four hundred,

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: they're not winning the batting title. They won't have enough

71
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: at bats. So the same thing when it goes to

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: Caid and other players involved in this. But my biggest story,

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: I think, and I know people are little worked up

74
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: about that that he's not going to be.

75
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: Up for awards.

76
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: But I think if I was a Pistons fan woke

77
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: up and saw that news the season's over for the

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons, you could discount it, pooh, pooh it, try

79
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: to make it not be so, and oh, he'll just

80
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: be He's gonna be reevaluated in two weeks. He's not

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to play in two weeks reevaluated. Then

82
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna take you about a week or so to

83
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: get Heed up to play. So you're in a situation

84
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: where you're going to be without him, mark my words.

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: The Celtics will catch the Pistons. The Celtics will catch

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: the Pistons win the Eastern Conference, and this will be

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of what looked like a beautiful season for

88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: the Pistons. But as you look at it, he's the guy,

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: the creator, the guy who can score for them. They're

90
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: still they outside shooting the three point shooting abysmal. I'm sorry.

91
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: It's Kate and nobody. For the most part, it's Kate.

92
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: He's the stir. He's the drink stir. Kay Cunningham. And

93
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: to act like a collapse Long is like a spraying

94
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: ankle and he'll be all right, and he'll be right

95
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: back in there. It ain't that it's a little tricky,

96
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: are they are broken ribbed? With that collapse Long he

97
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: could have broken.

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: Ribs and then he took for those who happened, yeah,

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 4: he he took like a knee to the lower leg,

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: you know, like usually that's where the punctured or.

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: Something approachured it. So they could be one or two

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: broken ribs in there. I like the four ribs that grouse,

103
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: but not when it comes to Kate Cunningham and the

104
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: Pistons playoff.

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 4: You only getting four that's all four for five dollars.

106
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: Four bones, four bones, that's the deal.

107
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: Is good.

108
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: But I'll five dollars and then that makes sense.

109
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: It's just a.

110
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 4: Snack, all right. But I'm convinced. I don't think you were.

111
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 4: You weren't convinced they were gonna do anything in the

112
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: first place. So this ain't a new revelation that the

113
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: season's over. I say that, but I'm.

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: Saying you didn't. You know what did you think they

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: were gonna do? Anyway?

116
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Go to the second round? Win an easy first round

117
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: matchup in this so they're not gonna win the first round.

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: You I'm not convinced matchups. Matchups matter.

119
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: Now who are they playing? And then no, ca if

120
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Cage's not playing, I expect him to play in the playoffs.

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: We got what kate?

122
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: Are you getting in the But as long as I

123
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: get barbecue broken barbecue ribs? Yeah, well listen an long

124
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 4: he got us. That's why we keep a spare any

125
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: such thing as a spare rib. We keep a spare

126
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: rib around here, Rob Dangy. We're gonna banage him up.

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: We're gonna give him some little holistic medicine. We're gonna

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: call Alex, give him some beat it up juice or

129
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: whatever you call it, and he'll be all right.

130
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 2: No couple of things. One, obviously it sucks.

131
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: But let me offer a silver lining or the way

132
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: to find maybe a blessing in disguise you even I

133
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: which is why I haven't said that going to the

134
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: NBA Finals. No, they need somebody who can take it

135
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 4: to the next level. Jalen Duran is an amazing last

136
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: game he had I think it was thirty six and

137
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: twelve on like seventy five percent shooting. He's been he's

138
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: been great, he's been an All Star, he's been spectacular.

139
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: But he's not necessarily a guy you dump it down

140
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: and say, give me a bucket. He can and he

141
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: and to his credit, he takes full advantage of teams

142
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 4: who don't have the size and the strength that he has.

143
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: I love to see kind of a throwback doing that,

144
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 4: but you do need to bucket get it from the outside.

145
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering if I'm the Pistons to say, nobody

146
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 4: wants our best player to have a puncture lunger.

147
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: He kidding me.

148
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: Sounds awful, But can we for the next two to

149
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: three weeks find some more offense, find some better sets,

150
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: find some better ways to get guys shots, find some

151
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: better looks for people.

152
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: Does a guy step into a role.

153
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: That we said, we know he was solid but dang,

154
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: he actually really can produce or create for us. And

155
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden you got something that you

156
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: can become an additive or an addition as you get

157
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: into postseason. I mean, but the only issue I have

158
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: with your logic is that you don't know what Kate

159
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 4: is coming back. You don't like, you don't know what

160
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: degree history, so only going by base off what we know.

161
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: So typically they say somebody's out three when they've had

162
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: this happen three and a half weeks. Has kind of

163
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 4: been the average that someone is out with a puncture

164
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 4: or collaps lug three and a half weeks, So for them,

165
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 4: that would lead them kind of walking right into the postseason.

166
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 4: Now to your point, evaluated in two weeks, what does

167
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: that mean is I mean two weeks he's ready to go.

168
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: The next game they say, you know, is he is

169
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: he out? Did you just keep him out? And say

170
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: screw keep him out even if he's relatively healthy.

171
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: And if they find out he has broken.

172
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: Ribs in there, well, what you can't play with broken way,

173
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: it's just some pain tolerance thing. Now, of course, if

174
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm the other team, we might be a little more way.

175
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: Look at the game to night. They playing Washington, terrible

176
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: Washington team, and they only up by five or so early.

177
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: Come on as Washington. I'm just saying them, if they.

178
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: Lose tonight without Kid, I'm gonna I'm You'll be people

179
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: will be like Rob was right as all.

180
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: No, nobody's gonna say that as one game. Yes, where

181
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 4: they're sitting here forty nine and nineteen three and a

182
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: half games up on on on Boston, listen. I saw

183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: their schedule. They've got a they got some wizard type games.

184
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 4: They got a couple of tough ones with the Thunder,

185
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: and I forgot the Lakers coming up on Monday. They

186
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: got a few tough ones. But my point is I

187
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 4: think they can with stand the storm. They can push through.

188
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: Finish first, finished second. It really doesn't matter as long

189
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: as you got home court advantage against most teams throughout

190
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 4: the postseason. And uh, if they gave back division, you

191
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: cool with that. Yeah, that doesn't really because it really matter.

192
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 4: Like first, So let's say it's Boston ends up taking you,

193
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: You're not gonna really in the Chalky world, you wouldn't

194
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: see them until these are conference finals, So it really

195
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what it makes a difference between.

196
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: I think home court in the NBA, not other sports.

197
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying you, But you would get

198
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: it against everybody but Boston, so you know you'd be

199
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: you'd be fine throughout, That's what I'm saying. So if

200
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: we finish first, you finish a game behind Boston, it's like,

201
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: all right, fine, we'll take that as long as we,

202
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 4: you know, still get home court through everyone else. But

203
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: I think again, they can have an opportunity to find

204
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: some way to get some more offense, to get guys

205
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 4: going to find some sets that work.

206
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: K will be back what version, We'll have to wait

207
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: and see.

208
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: I believe long as he's eighty percent version eighty eight five,

209
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: you'll be fine to beat most teams in the ease.

210
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: Now, it'll get tough with the Boston. They're proven, they've

211
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: been great for a.

212
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 4: Decade, now the champions champion, so you gotta respect them

213
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: for sure. I still don't buy Cleveland like you seem to.

214
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: I don't think Cleveland, I'm not. I don't buy them

215
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: in a posting. I don't think they're tough enough, and

216
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: the Knicks will be a great battle that I think Cleveland.

217
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I think Cleveland can beat the Pistons. If Kate is

218
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: not right, they can. But I don't buy I'm buying them.

219
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: I'm yeah, I'm saying even aside for the Pistons, just

220
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: period you like Cleveland.

221
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. I know it's the NBA is about

222
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: match up. I don't disagree with that.

223
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: The Knicks have their number, but they have the Piston's number.

224
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Go look at Clevelands beating the Pistons for whatever reason.

225
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: And I think they would get beat up, literally like

226
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: physically beat up if they were if they were to

227
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 4: match up.

228
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: I just don't buy. I can't.

229
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, by Donovan Mitchell, who has been

230
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 4: spectacular throughout his career.

231
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: In the regular season, we always say is the just

232
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: some short wait.

233
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: In the postseason, he's put up some numbers, but his

234
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: teams don't do anything. And then James Harden, who has

235
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: been the greatest example of all world everything for twelve

236
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: fifteen years offensively in the NBA, and it's done nothing

237
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 4: in the season.

238
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: And then again there's another exaggerate to say he's done nothing.

239
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: Now he's come up empty, but go look at his

240
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: postseason numbers. It did not nothing.

241
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 4: His postseason numbers most guys that we like Elevate. You

242
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: know you said elevate. You said nothing, like, he's done nothing.

243
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 4: I told you this person looking up. I want you

244
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: to go look up. I want question point. I'm not

245
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 4: questioning average point said he's done win me series.

246
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: That's not what you said. You said he does nothing.

247
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: Because that's not because for a start play in the NBA,

248
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 4: that is nothing. It's not always it's not always one player.

249
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 4: There's other people, amazing teams. They won fifty games. Now

250
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 4: he's got Donovan Mitchell who can take kids some of that,

251
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 4: and that would be great for him. But if Donovan Mitchell,

252
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: who's had some times, he probably want to lean on somebody,

253
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: that ain't the person to lean on. And and and

254
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: you can't be if you look at a guy who

255
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: has been m v P and MVP runner a gazillion times,

256
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: like Harden, usually that guy has a ring. You look

257
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: at yok gotta ring, you look at Giannest gotta ring.

258
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: There's a lot of great players. Woman didn't name the

259
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: great player who don't have rings. No, I'm not, I'm

260
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: not a question.

261
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: What is that? What we all have? You not watched

262
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: him play?

263
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 7: Yeah?

264
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 4: Here, I don't know anybody that caliber of talent who

265
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 4: was at that many shortcomings.

266
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: No, but I'm but the idea.

267
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you're you're you're selling his numbers short

268
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: in the postseason because he's had clunkers, but he's also

269
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: had amazing games. I watched his kid and I say

270
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: kid now, but when he was with did you watch

271
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: him when he first started with Okac.

272
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: In the watch in the final, but leading to that

273
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 4: leading up today, was he not? And that's what we

274
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 4: were watched. Might need his own team and he was

275
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: terrible in the finals. That might be his worst series ever. Okay,

276
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: but he did play unble. I couldn't believe the first

277
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: two rounds. I couldn't believe how great because he didn't

278
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: have to lead. It was Katie and.

279
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: Was off the bench leader. That's my point. He didn't

280
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: have to lead Rob when he's been the guy.

281
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 4: We've all, he was not the guy in Cleveland, so

282
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 4: it should work for his advantage. That doesn't even make

283
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: the guy in Cleveland hasn't done it. So maybe they

284
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: haven't done it. Haven't done it? You have equal a whole.

285
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 4: I don't buy no Cleveland, you could not say that

286
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 4: that's fine, But to say he's done nothing in the

287
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 4: postseason is false?

288
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: All right?

Speaker 2: I like a little little jam. Now, this is a

293

Speaker 2: dry piece of white toast.

294

Speaker 4: They can't even get wheat. No, Detroit can't get wheat.

295
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: You spent twenty years there. Detroit gets and wheat. You

296
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 4: know that on a Pistols toast.

297

331
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 4: got Kate cunning him out for at least two weeks

332
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: to reevaluate him. Then he had to collapse long he

333
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: took a shot to the like his lower back if

334
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: you didn't see it, kind of his back left side there.

335
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: Oh, Chulen's terrible. Sounds painful, But what does that mean

336
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: for the team? Is it over? Is it just a

337
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: little bumping the road?

338
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: And also he has to play five more games to

339
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: qualify for all the awards. He has to get to

340
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: that sixty five game mark, and the question becomes, do

341
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: you think they should change that?

342
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: I'm okay with this still, even though it pains me

343
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: as a Piston fan.

344
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: Rob's okay with this, stal You gotta have some type

345
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 4: of minimum to uh for these awards eight seven, seven

346
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 4: ninety nine on Fox that we got.

347
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: Let's start with Johnny in Virginia. You're on the on

348
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: couple of Fox Sports Radio.

349
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 11: What's up, Johnny, guys, Yes, you're getting to see some

350
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 11: of this march madness goodness. I think the Pistons are

351
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 11: in trouble just looking at the net. Difference between Kate

352
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 11: on the floor off the floor. When you got a

353
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 11: guy who's offense completely through him. You know, that's why

354
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 11: he's got ten assists. And he's also an elite scorer.

355
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 11: I think it's like a sixty win team with them.

356
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 11: I think they're like a forty five win team without them.

357
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: So that's that.

358
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 11: James Harden, he stayed with the nets.

359
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: He could have won.

360
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,239
Speaker 11: If Kyrie found out the earth wasn't flat, they have championship.

361
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: And if you remember that year I talk about all

362
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: the time that you have Milwaukee won Kevin Durant's foots

363
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: on the line, they would have.

364
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: They would have won a championship that year. I was

365
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: convinced of you.

366
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 11: Just look at KD right now. Kd' is still playing

367
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 11: at an elite level when Kyrie's not hurt, he's at

368
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 11: an elite level. James is clearly playing really well for Cleveland.

369
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 11: Uh so yeah, I think James, honestly, James might win

370
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 11: a championship with Cleveland this year if Boston gets out

371
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 11: of their way.

372
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: All right, Johnny, have y'all been smoking lately?

373
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 4: Even if they for some reason did get out of

374
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: the East, which I don't buy it, And there's no

375
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 4: way to being the Spurs or Denver or or or

376
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 4: the thunder stop it. Drew in New Jersey, you're in

377
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: the couple of Fox Sports Radio.

378
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 7: Drew think that I always saw, even before Detroit got

379
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 7: you know, the bad news, I didn't think I had

380
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 7: a chance. I think it's falls in out East and

381
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 7: then it's basically the winner of the Lakers the uh

382
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 7: Spurs or Okay, see.

383
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: I don't think.

384
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 7: I don't think Denver really has much of a chance.

385
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 7: I just think that they're atrocious defensively, in my opinion.

386
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 2: The Lakers are on defensively, they're good. Now, everything's good.

387
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, but the Lakers have Luca Lebron.

388
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 4: No, I'm asking last year they had Len would have

389
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: got knocked out in the first round.

390
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's magic.

391
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 7: But Nicole j Nicole Jokich and Luca, that's a wash.

392
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 7: They both are.

393
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, Denver has the Lakers number in the

394
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: postseason and then and then you got not this season.

395
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I.

396
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: Never I'm saying in postseason history in the playoffs, don't.

397
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: I gotta see what the I gotta see what them.

398
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: I always I'm always gonna have the joker. But I

399
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: need to see, you know, I need to see. I

400
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: need to I need to see the matchups. Who's been better?

401
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Uh? The Jokers? No, the joker he had wanted.

402
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 7: No, No, no, no Miami.

403
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Drew,

404
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: go look at his numbers throughout the postseasons, one of

405
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the most historic postseasons ever put up by anybody. Go

406
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. It wasn't just against the Miami team.

407
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: Look at it.

408
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 7: It was like number two all time in points per

409
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 7: game for playoffs.

410
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: Go go look.

411
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: I think they're they're They're.

412
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 7: The same player to me, I look at them. I

413
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 7: think one seven feet can't play defense, one defense.

414
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: I get the idea of washing. That's true.

415
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: They're the same guy that can put up if they're

416
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: in the postseason. All right, Lucas gonna get thirty five,

417
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: twelve and twelve, so will Joker.

418
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: So I get the point of the under the wash.

419
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: That's why you know it's gonna come down to those

420
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: other fours that Jamal Murray torch the Lakers like he's

421
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 4: done historically in the postseason.

422
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: Does Austin Reeves match that energy?

423
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 4: I mean that that'll be what's interesting if they were

424
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 4: to match up in the postseason.

425
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, Andrew in Chicago, you're on the couple

426
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio.

427
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: What's up, Andrew, guys?

428
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 5: I would just say, to be honest, I think it's

429
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 5: done though, just looking back, even with Caid, they're too

430
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 5: dependent on him, and I'll be real quick. Poor perimeter

431
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 5: shooting offensive.

432
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: That's what bothers me. That's what bothers me.

433
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: And then one thing that people are really not focusing

434
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 5: in on is the high thousand turnovers. So when the

435
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 5: team is in foul trouble, they have to depend way

436
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 5: more on Cade and not letting him get enough rest.

437
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 5: So I feel like they're just too dependent on him.

438
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 5: And then now with him out and then the lack

439
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 5: of perimeter shooting, I think it's just done though. From

440
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 5: here in the East. I hate to say it, just

441
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: you know, big Cargo Bulls fan, I'm gonna go and

442
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 5: say the Celtics.

443
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: No, I get it as a bull fan, Andre, I mean, Andrew.

444
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: The problem is you can't overlook what the Celtics they held.

445
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: They held up, they.

446
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Held it together all year and then their top players

447
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: showed up and he's bawling like like like they you

448
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: have to feel good about that if you're a Celtics fan.

449
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: But I hear you.

450
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: Why can't I Bulls just you know, cop copy them,

451
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 5: just copy them.

452
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: It's just so bad. I know you guys, you know what.

453
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: You guys are too busy putting up US statues and

454
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: retiring numbers.

455
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: My gosh, you're saying.

456
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 5: Appreciately my hopefully my White Sox can make a run.

457
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: And now I have no more hope for you. It's

458
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 4: just gonna be a rough little spring and summer for you.

459
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: Man.

460
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: It's it's all good, though, man. We still love it.

461
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: Thanks Andrew, all right, appreciate you, my man, appreciated us.

462
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 4: Speaking of some teams, it's not all good right now.

463
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: There's some struggling down in Houston with the Rockets. We'll

Speaker 2: bit rob g.

477
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 4: Your Lakers got a couple of good wins against the

478
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 4: Rockets and now some some issues with the Rockets.

479
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not looking good if you're a Houston fan. Houston,

480
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 6: we have a problem now. This time last week they

481
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 6: got blitzed by damn near forty points by the Denver Nuggets.

482
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 6: And they come in have a home, two back to

483
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 6: back home games a baseball series against the Lakers Monday night.

484
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant couldn't dribble the ball to save his life,

485
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 6: had seven turnovers. After the games, As I am the offense,

486
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 6: I got to get this stuf straightened out, whether it's

487
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 6: spacing the floor, dunker spot whatever. So they come back

488
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 6: last night in what is clearly the biggest game of

489
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 6: their season, because you know, you're so tightly bunched like

490
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 6: that in the Western Conference, every win right now matters

491
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 6: against the team you're going head to head within the standings.

492
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 6: They're down double digits early, they fight all the way

493
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 6: back and they find a way to lose there again.

494
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 6: Luka Doncic goes nuclear in the last four or five minutes,

495
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,959
Speaker 6: and late in the game, cameras caught the Houston Rockets huddle,

496
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 6: not a single person speaking, everybody staring off blankly into space.

497
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 6: It just looked like the vibes are bad currently in Houston.

498
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: They didn't take care of business, which is they never

499
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: replaced the point guard. Like like, I'm just amazed at it.

500
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: And they go and get Durant, you know what I mean?

501
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: They go put this team. Everybody thought, oh my god,

502
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: you had to rant to that team.

503
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: Look what they did last year without them.

504
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: You know, gonna add this kind of a shooter and scorer,

505
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, like like like they're gonna be They're gonna

506
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: be a tough out. And now it looks like Kevin

507
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: Durant again, no matter where he goes, something doesn't work out.

508
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: He went to Phoenix, everybody said, oh, man, are you kidding?

509
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: They went to the NBA Finals without him. Now they're

510
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: gonna add KD. You're not gonna be able to stop him.

511
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Looking all the score, Let's go get Bradley Beal too.

512
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: You won't be able to stop them. They'll be able

513
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: to score so many points that didn't work out. It's

514
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: just amazing and maybe because his a carpetbag that he

515
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: puts down is in the way on the court because

516
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: he've just been everywhere and it just blocks stuff. Because

517
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: I just and this could be bad again for Kevin

518
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: Durant because now you'll be at this point where everywhere

519
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: you go like and im and I'm not acting like

520
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: the injury is not a part uh of of the equation.

521
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter that the bottom line is he's

522
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: been bouncing from team to team, the team the team,

523
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: and everywhere he.

524
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 2: Goes, they don't reach their potential.

525
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: Something goes wrong, something is is a miss, do you

526
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like like that, like that is

527
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: going to be the lasting thing that you think about

528
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant especially It's just I said it before.

529
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant is raggedy Andy. You've heard of raggedy ann

530
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: raged and raggedy Andy.

531
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Raggedy Andy, Like that's what his track after leaving Golden

532
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: State has been.

533
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: Raggedy, like the four oh five Dang they working on

534
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: it though round like the ten back in Detroit, the

535
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: lots that was the worst.

536
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: It's bad, or like the uh what else we got

537
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: Long Island Expressway in New York is bad.

538
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: I've been on it. I couldn't like too many free

539
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: too highways over all, right, but you get my point?

540
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: Do you get your point? Well?

541
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 4: I look at it like this, A couple of things.

542
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 4: One we all, I knew Fred van Vliet's absence was

543
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 4: gonna be but.

544
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 2: They didn't do anything.

545
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 4: That's what makes me mad. Meaning you got the whole

546
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: first half of the season to see what's what. Who

547
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: steps up? They got Shepherd. A lot of people are

548
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: high on him, and he's good. He's you know, he's

549
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 4: had some but he's not frev An Vliet. And then

550
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 4: towards the trade deadline, you thought, all right, well, obviously

551
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 4: guys are playing well. Depending on what week it was,

552
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 4: you were, you know, third or fourth to third the

553
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: in the standings. But you know what to helped you needed.

554
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: You knew what you needed. You needed a score. You

555
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 4: need a guy, by the way, a shooter. We talked

556
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 4: about the Pistons. They could use some perimeter shooting too.

557
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 4: They're kind of similar to the Pistons. And they got

558
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 4: all the athletes you want. Guys play hard and they

559
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: got their KD is a scorer, he's not Kay Cunningham

560
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 4: at this point his career, but they got something similar

561
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: where they need some outside shooting, they need another bucket.

562
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: And they never did it.

563
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 4: And this isn't twenty seven to twenty eight year old

564
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: KD where you can say, well, we got three four

565
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 4: more years whatever. Like, you can't waste a year with

566
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 4: KD and this team because KD is again at this age,

567
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: you never know what you're gonna get. So to me,

568
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 4: you I don want to waste a year with Kevin

569
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: Durant when you have an opportunity to compete. Now, maybe

570
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 4: you weren't gonna beat the Thunder, maybe you weren't gonna

571
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 4: beat the Spurs or Denver, but you never know, right,

572
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: and maybe one of them knocks each other out of

573
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: something crazy happens. So you're supposed to be in there

574
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: and having a chance to have a chance to get

575
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 4: to the final. Now I say that to say, if

576
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: I'm Houston, I'm also saying Rob Kelvin, Rob G, still

577
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 4: relax because you know who you don't have that same

578
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: energy for Rob G and Rob Parker, The Denver Nuggets.

579
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 4: The Denver Nuggets currently as we sit here, are sixth.

580
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: They're behind the Rockets, and you know you would be thinking, hey,

581
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: like they're not getting anybody's talking about them. Everybody says, hey,

582
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: you never know, Denver could give somebody a run, and

583
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 4: Denver could do this. So I would be saying, we're fine,

584
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: let's find our groove. Let's get something going in order

585
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: to you know, cause at this point you can't get in.

586
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 4: There's nobody out there you can replace Fred with. But

587
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 4: that would be the silver lining with thing. You're a

588
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: game or two away from jumping all the way back

589
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 4: to third. The Lakers are currently third, but as Rob

590
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 4: G mentioned, the West is so tight. You lose a game,

591
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 4: you win three games in a row, you can go

592
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 4: from third to seventh. So you're still in this thing.

593
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 4: Last point will be interesting though, Rob is one thing

594
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 4: we both know. We talk about winning cures all and

595
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 4: if they're struggling. Now, KD says, I'm the offense and this,

596
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: that and the other. Does any of this playing that

597
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: where Kevin Duran and the whole I'm talking smack online

598
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: but it wasn't me, but all the kind of counts

599
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 4: track back that it could have been him, and all

600
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: the messaging and the content that was posted kind of

601
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 4: seems fishy. You wonder if those things start to come

602
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: in when you start losing.

603
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: Man, this dude.

604
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 4: Over here, he talking about the offense, and he already said,

605
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 4: I was a word I can't say on radio. He said,

606
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: I was this, You know what I mean? Those things

607
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: start to kind of fester in once you start losing.

608
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 4: Because when you're winning, hey man, it is what it is.

609
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: It's all good. Auto matters. If we're playing hard with winning,

610
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: start losing. Can't believe he said that, can't believe this. Oh,

611
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 4: it's a big difference between you. You know that winning

612
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 4: cures all.

613
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: It's the ultimate makeup, and people just you know, as

614
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: long they want whatever. But when you start to lose,

615
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: people start to look for reasons.

616
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 4: Because little comments start meaning stuff. And when you're winning,

617
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: it's like, oh man, I no matter. We just whoever scores?

618
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: Did that matter?

619
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: We just here to compete win. You lose it, man,

620
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 4: I'm the only one scoring. And then it turns he

621
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 4: said this about me. Remember he said that about you.

622
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: That wasn't him. I don't know if it wasn't him,

623
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it was.

624
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 4: It before was it Lebron? Do you remember that happened

625
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 4: with the Lakers. He made that comment kind of sideways.

626
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 4: I can't remember about some of the younger players.

627
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Robb Gi what was that? I vaguely remember, do you remember?

628
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: And they were like like he basically threw all the

629
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 4: young players say it and played off.

630
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't remember. I don't remember exactly.

631
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: Well, you know why we got Google and AI. We'll

632
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: figure this out. Yeah, I just can't off the top

633
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 4: of my head. But all I'm saying is the pushback

634
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: from the younger players, like what do we chop liver?

635
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: Like all of a sudden, it was all about them

636
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: not getting their jobs done. Oh yeah, that was like

637
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 4: last year, wasn't it.

638
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: That was the last year too. I remember that.

639
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 4: I can't remember the exact scenario, but I'm pull this

640
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 4: up forval. But yeah, that's what to me. What's going

641
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: to be interesting too again is you start losing a few,

642
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: do you start collapsing? And that's ultimately in life in general,

643
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 4: team that's where you realize what you really are. I mean,

644
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: anybody in relationships when things get guitard, things go down,

645
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: it's like that's where you find where you really are

646
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 4: because it's everybody wherever we shining, we up maybe we up,

647
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 4: we ball and we win and your record label it's

648
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: all good. You know. Throughout the nineties and two thousands,

649
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: records and stuff gets tight. Everybody starts going on in

650
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 4: each other here and they start, you know, fracturing up

651
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 4: and uh. So you know, it'll be interesting to see

652
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 4: if the Rockets can hold together and still put up

653
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: a fight come postseason.

654
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: That's what I want to see. I'm still looking for

655
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: this thing. When you're talking about the I just can't remember.

656
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: It's okay, it's just now.

657
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Maori, thing was you know, you could have that effect,

658
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: like you said, if you're winning, then people let it

659
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: just roll off their back. If you're not winning and

660
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: you're where the Rockets are, it could create even more

661
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: of a of a situation, you know, the snipe remarks

662
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: and stuff.

663
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 4: So I don't think ultimately everybody wants to glitz in

664
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: the glamb, but everybody don't want to blank and put

665
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 4: their boots off.

666
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: Uh Is that it last? Was that last? Yeah? Laying

667
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: hard and actually commit.

668
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 4: Everybody's always talking about what they want and this and that,

669
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 4: and they want to see who's got what all?

670
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: Right? Are you getting up at three in the morning?

671
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 4: Let's go. Let's rock. That's what you. Yeah, I'm just saying,

672
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: if this is it, everybody fall in love with the process.

673
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 4: If you can't fall in love the process, there's a talk.

674
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 4: There's another one, Rob.

675
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 6: Here's one twenty nineteen. Remember this was the right after

676
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 6: the Lebron's gonna trade. You chance to brandon Ingram before

677
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 6: they a d trade. And he said after that, after

678
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 6: one of those games, at this point, if you're still

679
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 6: allowing distraction to affect how the way you play, this

680
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 6: is the wrong franchise for you to be a part of.

681
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: You should not come in and be like, listen, I

682
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 6: don't think this is from me. I can't do this.

00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: Oh my.

00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 6: us from the world of college basketball, March Madness is

717
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 6: upon us. We got all the games and all the

718
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 6: televisions right now. And in case you're living under a rock,

719
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 6: many people view this as the greatest singular sporting event

720
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 6: in our country because it's not just one day. It's

721
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 6: four days this week, it's two days next week, it's

722
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 6: three days after that, and it's all day basketball all

723
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 6: the time, so much so that people will plan their

724
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 6: days and their vacations around March Madness. So guys got

725
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 6: me thinking, if you're a fan of March Madness, you

726
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 6: want to go and watch it, Let's say at a

727
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 6: sports bar or even someplace at the sports book you

728
00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 6: like to gamble. Are you yay or nay on watching

729
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 6: sporting events with people you do not know?

730
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: Hm, that's a good one. That's a good one. Set

731
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: the scene where we're drinking.

732
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: Oh I'm sorry, go ahead, Well, I mean are yeah? Like,

733
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: am I at a sports bar with people? I say

734
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 4: it like this. I love the atmosphere of watching, Like,

735
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 4: you know, Michigan's playing right now. Let's say I was

736
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 4: watching that game and you know it's just you're at

737
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: your be doves.

738
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: Wing well, wings stopping. Not really the spot to watch games.

739
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 2: But you're good.

740
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you're hanging out and you watch the games,

741
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 4: you're high five and somebody, Oh no, I like that's fun.

742
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 4: I don't like talking sports thoroughly with people I don't

743
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 4: know like that. I'd rather do that with people I know.

744
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 4: But uh, just to enjoin the big game, big termaments, Yeah,

745
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 4: I like that. I'm okay with that, pulling up and

746
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 4: enjoying that nice little vibe, little atmosphere.

747
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm a stay at home guy. First of all. You know,

748
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: people put me in a weird, awkward spot. I'm not

749
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: rooting for anybody, so it's always like that, you know,

750
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: high five and I'm just not. That's not and I

751
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: don't want to come off it's like I'm too good

752
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: for that, so I kind of try.

753
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: To avoid it.

754
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: To be honest, I'd rather watch the game with some

755
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: buddies or whatever.

756
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 4: And again, I don't root for anybody. I'm rooting for

757
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 4: whatever pick that I made. I'm hoping that that comes true.

758
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 4: That's all I care about. Last year with the Lions

759
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 4: not making a playoff, I don't care more. I don't

760
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 4: care about the more. I don't care if the Lions

761
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 4: really no I'm just saying, but I really don't care,

762
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 4: like like I know, people say, oh you just hate that.

763
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you want to pick.

764
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 4: I want to pick. To be right, that's my my

765
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 4: analysis of this situation.

766
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: To be right, that's it.

767
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 4: So yeah that when I first held on one sect

768
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: real quick, mansie, when I started, uh no, because it

769
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: was something we had one of those types of things

770
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 4: going on, like we all were talking about a game

771
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 4: like oh, I'm telling you the Pistons or the line,

772
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 4: whatever it was, and somebody had mentioned like, let's all

773
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 4: go watch it. They were like, man, Robin, gonna want

Speaker 9: with strangers in like a social setting.

785
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: Because I don't care because I've not invested.

786
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 9: If I had a team that I was invested in,

787
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 9: I don't know how much I would enjoy it.

788
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: Probably wouldn't want to watch it at home, you.

789
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 9: Know, like a Clipper game, an important one, I probably

00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:34,719

793
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,200

796
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,000

Speaker 4: up and put it in a smoothier.

814
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 12: No, it's the players I'm going to bet on and

815
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 12: the teams i'm picking. Yeah right, yeah, Actually I couldn't

816
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 12: care less so I could watch.

817
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 2: Is there any sporting event I could get you excited about?

818
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 2: World Cup?

819
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 5: Wow?

820
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 12: We grew up watching soccer there. We played soccer till

821
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 12: high school and then I developed Oshko slaughter, which is

822
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 12: fun to you can't play past high school.

823
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 4: That's those sore knees. Yep, I know exactly who's about, right, Robie.

824
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm with Rob.

825
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 6: I'd rather watch it at home than watch it with

826
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 6: a bunch of random people. You're right, I've seen you out, Yes, exactly.

827
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 6: But the biggest reason, and this this might not be

828
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 6: a popular opinion, is that most people in my experience

829
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 6: where I go to a sports bar, I go to

830
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 6: a sports book and I'm listening to the conversation that

831
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 6: happened about the game, they don't understand what they're watching, right,

832
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 6: And it's like I can't turn my brain off because

833
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 6: we're around athletes and coaches and executives all the time,

834
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 6: and it's like, man, y'all, y'all dumb, Like I can't

835
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 6: sit here and hear you talk about that.

836
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: That's why I said, I don't like talking.

837
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, like I was at I was at an event

838
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 6: one time because like, man, you know, Lakers getting Steph

839
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 6: Curry this summer, Like, no, we're not. I to turn

840
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 6: to be like, no, no, that's not happening. Hey man,

841
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 6: I know you, I know I don't know you, but

842
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 6: no happen.

843
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I said conversationally, and that's what happened

844
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 4: with social media.

845
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: Everybody jumps to everybody has a thought and opinion. I'm like, no,

846
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 2: I don't.

847
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 4: I would never want to talk sports, but this person

848
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 4: you know that. I'm with that. But uh, yeah, I

849
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 4: don't mind watching big.

850
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 6: Games like this and like a venue now, But would

851
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 6: you agree though, it's different to watch at like a

852
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 6: ball game or a stadium with fan and camaraderie versus

853
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 6: at a sports bar or a sportsbook.

854
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: I actually like home better than even more than the stadium. Yeah.

855
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 6: The tribalism of a stadium is different.

856
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: Right, Rob, stadium is the best.

857
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: I just I've been to too many big games, and

858
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,479
Speaker 1: even as a reporter when when somebody hits a home

859
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: run in a World Series game and the whole building shakes,

860
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: or I remember the deafening sound of when the Braids

861
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: beat the Pittsburgh Pirates when they had Barry Bonds and

862
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: play at the plate to go on to the next

863
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, the sound of the crowd was deafening.

864
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: It was you can't get that at home.

865
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: And that's what makes them to go into a game.

866
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: To me, better than anything, I guess, but I think

867
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: I can't go.

868
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 4: Like if I had season tickets to you picked the sport,

869
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go all the time, like it's too much.

870
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: I just I do like home.

871
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 4: I definitely would hit, you know, if it was forty

872
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 4: one for our Laker team or something, I'd go to

873
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 4: go to fifteen twenty, you know,
