Speaker 1: You're listening to sports radio. Okay, here we go. It's

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a back to life Sunday. Right.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: We now have the NBA Playoff picture in our back pocket.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: We have a new Master's Champion. We have a little

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: bit of an idea of what baseball with a pitch

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: clock is going to look like and feel like. And

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: we also have I from Salam back on planet Earth.

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,440

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: great to have you back, and kind of wonder if

Speaker 1: was That was a memorable experience, even though you just yukon.

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what anybody could even do with that. Now,

Speaker 1: best team in Turnament this year by far, best tea. Yeah,

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: you had to be perfect um to beat him. We

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: weren't perfect. I don't think any team's perfect, but that's

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: just how deep they are inside. Outside they got some

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: real knockdown shooters. Hawkins is you know, he's on his

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: And I wonder if I might, yeah, like share something

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: with you real quick, please do. This is from way

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: back in my childhood, and I wonder how you would

41
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: react to this, because this is what's on my mind tonight.

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: My grandmother Dad's side. May she rest in peace. She

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: was married four times and actually all four marriages were

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: come and gone by the time she passed away. I

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: ask you this with full openness, like it's not a

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: scab in our family or anything. It's all good. If

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: you were the fourth one on the way in, would

48
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you have maybe, I don't know, asked an extra question

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: or two? You know what I think at that age,

50
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: when you get to four and you get up there

51
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: like that, it's just like it is what it is,

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. My dad was on his

53
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: fourth wife, right, so it's like, okay, it's the person

54
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: who you can stand you know at that right, Like

55
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: it's it's complicated. Yeah, this is no judgment, by the way,

56
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: no judgment. I mean we're you're talking to someone who's

57
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: been through two marriages himself, so like there's no judgment here. Um,

58
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: and I think you're right, like just you know, sometimes

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: takes the lecture time find out, Okay, sometimes you never do.

60
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this on your second Did you

61
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: ask an extra question? Did did we think? I myself? Yeah,

62
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I should have. I mean, well that's that's a complicated answer. Yeah,

63
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how far. I don't know how much

64
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: you wanted to open up. I didn't know. Okay, Well,

65
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: no I would ask. I would ask questions of myself now,

66
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure I would. But here's why I ask.

67
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: And maybe it's not a perfect analogy, but I asked

68
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: this because I would like to talk to any NBA

69
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: general manager who has any thoughts ever again of acquiring

70
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. We need to have a talk. We need

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: to ask extra questions, because what are you doing? That's

72
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: honestly question number one. What do you think you're doing?

73
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: What do you think you're getting? What on earth are

74
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you thinking? Maybe the question mark just starts there, because

75
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: I have never, in all of my years of watching

76
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: NBA basketball, seen what, in my view is a more

77
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: embarrassing finish to a basketball season than what the Dallas

78
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Mavericks have just executed to go from acquiring Kyrie Irving

79
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: at the deadline, which falls directly into every sports show

80
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: in America talking about how well that's the end of

81
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: trying to stop that offense. The two barely ever played

82
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: with one another, obviously, Luca being the other. Seemed that

83
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: they were in and out or out and in the

84
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: rest of the way. Even when they did play together,

85
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: they played terrible. And you get all the way to

86
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: the finish line with still an opportunity to find your

87
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: way into the play in tournament, and you punt, you

88
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: punt on the opportunity to even try to get into

89
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: the play in tournament, followed by rumors the next day

90
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: that were maybe a few months away from Luca Danch's

91
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: asking for a trade. Have you ever seen something implode

92
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: at a higher level than what the Dallas Mavericks just did.

93
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: They gave away some really solid role players to acquire

94
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving, and don't tell me the warnings weren't everywhere. Well,

95
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: they gave away their defense, That's what they did. Those

96
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: role players. Those players that they gave away were defense.

97
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: And so now you have two dynamic scores and you

98
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: said this like, they can score, but who can they stop?

99
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: And so what I think is, you know, this was

100
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of a little They had an opportunity to make

101
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,119
Speaker 1: the play in, but then realized, well, if we don't

102
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: make the play in, if we don't make the play in,

103
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: we get a few extra balls in the lottery. With

104
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: the legitimate opportunity to try to steal the Victor with

105
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: the first pick in the draft, so you weigh it, right,

106
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: we make the play in. Even if we make the playoffs,

107
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: we probably get boat raced in the first round. What

108
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: are we really doing? Are we can try and really

109
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: set ourselves up to have an opportunity to bring a

110
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: kid like Victor in and pair him with a Luca

111
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: and a Kyrie and you know, kind of like what

112
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Porzingis was, but just better as a as an eighteen

113
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: nineteen year old kid. So there's a lot of posturing

114
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: going on. And I'm not saying that's what they did,

115
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: but what I'm saying is it seems like, you know,

116
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: they pour the emergency lever a little bit sooner than

117
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: one would think, including the last game, so an investigation

118
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: has been launched. Let me ask you this. Let me

119
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: ask you this, because let's not act like we're all

120
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: offended by tanking. It's all over sports. I mean, it's

121
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: ever rewere, it's everywhere, but teams usually at least make

122
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: some sort of an effort to not telegraph it. Now,

123
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: there's two things going on here at once. A you

124
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: telegraphed it and for those who don't know the story,

125
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: the Mavericks only a half game out of the final

126
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: spot for the play in tournament a couple of nights ago.

127
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: Not only sat Kyrie Irving and four other key players,

128
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: they then had Luca Dontech go out and only play

129
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: one quarter, and Jason Kidd held a pregame press conference

130
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: explaining that well, not my decision, this is what we're doing.

131
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Was essentially what came out of that press conference. So

132
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: they are advertising while people are on their way to

133
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: the game. They bought tickets to this thing. They think

134
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: a team is playing for its playoff live Nope, and

135
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: and they advertise everybody comes see the Dallas Tank on

136
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: its way to town. So the two things are A,

137
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: you telegraphed it and b from we see tanking. We

138
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: don't see tanking from teams that are on the doorstep

139
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: of making the postseason. We don't see that in sports. Yeah,

140
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: that's the difference here. Yeah, especially with you know, you've

141
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: got two top twenty players on your team who are

142
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: available to play, and then you you know, when you

143
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: look at this and they were resting like the you know,

144
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: they had the list of you know, Hardaway like foot

145
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, it was just like, what the

146
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: season is? What do we yeah, like, what's what are

147
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: we doing? I think one of them was just rest. Yeah.

148
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: The injury report has been really fun for people don't know.

149
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: There's this. You can look it up on life, the

150
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: NBA Injury Report, and at every hour on game night,

151
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: anybody who's playing it updates and you can tell hours

152
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: before a game when a team is gonna sit everybody.

153
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: They'll list nine guys as questionable and you're like, okay,

154
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean I went in this morning and I went, well,

155
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I'll get ready for the King's Warrior series because the

156
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: Suns were sitting everybody, the Blazers were sitting everybody, and

157
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: I knew the Warriors and Clippers were gonna win their

158
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: games and it was gonna stay the way it was.

159
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: Now the Clippers found a way to make it dramatic anyway,

160
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: but they did it. And so you can see what

161
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: teams are about to do. And it's been all over

162
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: the place, but again, they at least make the effort

163
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: to not advertise it. Yeah, but you know they're smarter.

164
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: They're smarter. Mark human, Look, he beats to the tune

165
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: of his own drum. We know that this is some

166
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: thing that you know, Mark Cuban is the same guy

167
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: who paid a million dollar fine or something like that

168
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: with a briefcaseer, you know, just dropping it off at

169
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:14,479
Speaker 1: NBA headquarters. He bought a plane online, right, so there's

170
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: really no telling. And look, he's a businessman and he's

171
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way to catch lightning in

172
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,359
Speaker 1: a bottle. Again, they got Dirt. Dirt got him a championship,

173
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: they got Luca. If they can get Victor, he feels

174
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: like it would be worth it whatever the investigation finds.

175
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm unless this clear cut. I mean, how

176
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: do you prove that though? Right, Like, how do you

177
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: prove a guy's ankle or foot or back or whatever.

178
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: How do you prove it? Seriously? I mean, in this

179
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: case is the case where you can They literally have

180
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: a Jason Kidd press conference where he's like, well, this

181
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: is a decision up from above. This is what we're doing.

182
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: And then their star player came out and played for

183
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: a quarter, and my quad was, what what do you Yeah,

184
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: what do you need to prove? You don't need to

185
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: prove anything. Well, we'll see they they told you ahead

186
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: of time that they were only gonna play in for

187
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: a quarter. I mean I don't know, case dismissed. Now

188
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: one of them healthy for the offseason. One of these days,

189
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: Lucas gonna get in shape. Man, He's gonna come back

190
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: ready to go. It's just I mean, he's so much

191
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: so talented, and Lucas great and and and I get

192
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot of heat when I say stuff like that

193
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: to Luca lovers. Yeah, he's a dynamic player. But there's

194
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: a difference, right. I always use this example. Paul Pierce

195
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: was a great player, great player, great score, sure, but

196
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: when you look at Paul and you look at Kobe, right,

197
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: because they played and that they that the rival, that's

198
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: the Celtics Lakers. That is the measuring stick. The work ethic,

199
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: the drive, all of those things takes a great player

200
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: and makes him just miraculous. You gotta come in ready

201
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: to go. Kobe was and Shaq fell out because Shaq

202
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: had all the talent in the world, most dominant player

203
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: in the league, and just didn't come just didn't come

204
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: into the season in shape. He said, I would just

205
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: play myself in shape. And the reason and they're sit

206
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: down together, it was because he knew Kobe would be

207
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: in shape and ready to go. He'd be able to

208
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: carry it. Kevin Garnett is another player who showed up

209
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: ready to go train and physically was ready to go.

210
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: You can take your game to the next level no

211
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: matter how good you are by your offseason training. And

212
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: in Luca's short career, we haven't seen that next thing. Well,

213
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: what else could he do? You'll understand that when his

214
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: body starts to change, right, when when his body, when

215
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: his shoulders tone up, right, when he's able to just

216
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: go And we're not seeing that with him. And it's

217
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: just not me that's been reports that he's not in shape,

218
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: and I get it. There are things that you can

219
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: do to take your game, no matter how great you are,

220
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: to the next level. Ask Lebron James. Right, So when

221
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: when when you have that type of talent, generational talent,

222
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: franchise changing talent, then the responsibility is on you to

223
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: take the next step, right, you have to take the

224
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: next step. Have we seen Luca take the next step yet? No,

225
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: he's still a great player, top five, But how do

226
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: you make that top five take you to the promised Land?

227
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: And it's the guys around you. You bring them with you.

228
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Jordan he implemented the Breakfast Club where they were working

229
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: out at six thirty am before games. Jordan, show up,

230
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: Pip and show up, whole team, show up. They went

231
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: six championships in eight years. There's another level you can

232
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: go as a superstar, and we're waiting for Luca to

233
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: take that. Yeah, that's well said. You also though mentioned

234
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Victor wembin Yama. I want to tell you what the

235
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: chances are that Dallas ends up with the first pick

236
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: because of this tank. We'll get to that and a

237
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: whole lot more, including what the NBA should do about

238
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: this advertised tank coming up next, much much more on

239
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: the show as well, the Masters and maybe the oddest

240
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: thing that's ever happened in the history of the sport

241
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: of baseball. That is all coming up alongside e from Salama,

254
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: If I'm I'm trying to look right now, googled the

255
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: odds of fifty random events happening to you. I'm trying

256
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: to find something else that has a three percent chance

257
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: of happening. Let's see, Um, one are the odds of

258
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: having twins roughly one in every two hundred and fifty.

259
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: So no, that's less likely. How about dying in a tornado?

260
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: That's one in thirteen million. Okay, never mind on that.

261
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: How about being saved by CPR Uh, Let's see, did

262
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: you you do well on a data you get where

263
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm going? The Mavericks ain't getting Victor Wembanyama. You're gonna

264
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: tank that. You're gonna advertise a tank you can put you.

265
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: You're gonna put you to all for a three percent chance.

266
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: Johnny Quato's got a better chance to hit the chance.

267
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: There was a chance either. Hey, the playoffs, right, but

268
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: there was a hell of a chance they would just

269
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: lose anyway, right, with some dignity. No, when it comes

270
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: to you know, when it comes to franchise changing things,

271
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: people do just silly, goofy things. And we've seen it

272
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: time and time again. I mean, you couldn't pay to

273
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: Detroit with Pistons to win a game. They won seventeen games. Bro,

274
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: they won seventeen games out of eighty two, they won seventy.

275
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: You know, we could put a team together and win

276
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: seventeen games. M So you know the Rockets, I know

277
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: the Rockets ownership so mad at them young kids. They

278
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: was out there playing well, it was their play. But

279
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: that's why the Mavericks did what they did. You can't

280
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: put players on the floor and ask them to not

281
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: play well or not play it hard. That that would

282
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: really end in an investigation, right, So this, I guess

283
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: this is the way that you battle it. If you

284
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: don't want to tell people to not play hard, then

285
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: just don't play them at all. I don't know, man,

286
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: I guess it shouldn't be offended. It's like I said,

287
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: this is everywhere. But at the same time, I'm also

288
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: here for the fans. I would rather represent the fans

289
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: in this conversation. And at a minimum, I do know this,

290
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: this is coming. We haven't seen the story yet because

291
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten it. But I promise you somebody at

292
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: that game that night is going to sue the Mavericks

293
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: for their money back. I promise one thousand percent somebody

294
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: is going to at minimum ask for their money back.

295
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: And if the Mavericks don't grant it, this thing's gonna

296
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: end up in some sort of a class action lawsuit

297
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. We see it. Every year. You get seventeen

298
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: thousand people part of your class action suit. You got something,

299
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: You got action, right, But and I know it's not

300
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna end up going anywhere. Someone will say something, It'll

301
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: be a story for a couple of days, it'll go away.

302
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: But this is not okay. You can't advertise this. And again,

303
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: the difference here that no one's thinking about is this

304
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: is not taking from the rockets position. This is tanking

305
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: when you're a half game out of the postseason. That's different.

306
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: I don't know of another time we have ever seen

307
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: that in sports. If I'm the NBA a from this

308
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: is gonna sound ridiculous. It's go oh, this is a

309
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: sports radio hot take. No, this is not okay. You

310
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: cannot advertise doing this and actually be a money gathering

311
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: entertainment entity. You can't do this. If I'm the NBA,

312
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks do not lose their pick, but they

313
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: just lost their lottery balls. Mavericks, you will slot right

314
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: in where your number says you slot. There's your pick,

315
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: and that's your punishment. Yeah, that makes sense. It does

316
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: um And you know you can't do stuff like that. Man,

317
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: you can't just sit it. It's bad for the sport.

318
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: We'll always talk about low management and all that. It's

319
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Let these guys play. You've

320
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: the fans something. But once again that frenchman that make

321
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: you do a lot of stuff? Man, I'll tell you

322
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: why make you do a lot of stuff? Good? Right?

323
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, what on earth did he shoot

324
00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: the ball last week and shot back a step back

325
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: NBA three and then follow the dunk from the free

326
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: throw line. Almost, you can't do that. That's not that

327
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: was funny. I get it. He's gonna be something now

328
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be something. But the Mavericks should not be

329
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: allowed to have him. You don't get to do that. Man,

330
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: he gonna get lost. If you'd just be lost in Detroit, Man,

331
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: we won't even have to see him, I know. But

332
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: that's the way it works, man, that's the way it works.

333
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: That's you know, if he goes to the Spurs, then

334
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: Greg Propovich might never retire, no joke. I mean, look,

335
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: but if you are as they're gonna say, if you're him,

336
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: then then you're gonna go make whatever organization you joined something.

337
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: Orlando was Orlando before shock, you right, but then then

338
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: and then they had shock. But then you can only

339
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: get to a certain point, right, the same with the

340
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: White Howard in Orlando, right like he was, and then

341
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: it just right and they demand a trade and then

342
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: and then they go to a big city and then yeah,

343
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: it's like five six years of just you know, so yeah,

344
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: you just God, what if he wanted it was in

345
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: Portland with Dame, wouldn't that just be a blessing? Ah?

346
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: That would be Uh wouldn't that be a blessing that

347
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: it would? I bet you free agents would be lining

348
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: up to go out there that end. Can you imagine

349
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: if Dame gets all down the road with some other

350
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: team and and uh, and and you know, sets up

351

362
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: beat Memphis, so okay finishes okay, see is okay enough

363
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,320

Speaker 1: games ahead of Dallas Memphis fifty one wins this year

366
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: finished second in the West two games back at Denver,

367
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: Memphis at home by the way thirty five and six

368
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: this year, Lakers defeated Utah Lakers on Tuesday night, will

369
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: host Minnesota in a playing game the loser then has

370
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: to play Friday. Minnesota won its finale over New Orleans

371
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: one thirteen one o eight. The Pelicans on Wednesday night

372
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: will host Oklahoma City. Zion Williamson of New Orleans is

373
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: still out through this week. At least hamstring Entry. I

374
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: think we saw him play at some point in January.

375
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that at this point he's made

376
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: like two hundred million dollars. Yeah, I don't even know

377
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: if he exists. Wow, Clippers clip, they could use even

378
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: that at this point. Clippers wanted Phoenix one nineteen one fourteen,

379
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: Phoenix that already clinched the four seed. Last Thursday night,

380
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: Clippers clinched the five seed in the West, winning a

381
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: tiebreaker over Golden States. So Clippers right back at Phoenix

382
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: next Sunday to start their first I was talking to

383
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: Moncy Belongols before the show because she's, you know, a

384
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: Laker hater and a Clipper lover, and I said, the

385
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: Clippers really do Clipper things, don't they Like, they really

386
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: do Clipper things. Well, they have literally fought and set

387
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: themselves up to get boat raced in the first round

388
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Could well can we This is a

389
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: conversation here, So let Steve keeper there's more to say, No, no,

390
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: because there's a lot to say on that. So yeah,

391
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: go ahead. This may involve the Sacramento team that you

392
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: were discussing at length in last Sunday Night, Golden State.

393
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: When it's finale at Portland. You know, I've gotten the

394
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: impression the last month. He's portanly and even still in

395
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: the league. I'm not even sure who they're suiting at

396
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: this point, the Golden State Warriors. I walked in, I

397
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: took the dog for a walk. I walk in with

398
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: like a minute and a half to go in the

399
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: first quarter. Today. My nine year old goes, Dad, the

400
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Warriors are about to break the record for the most

401
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: points in NBA history in the first quarter. And I go, well, no, no,

402
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: NBA history, probably like a franchise record or whatever. He goes, no, Dad,

403
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: NBA history, And he was right. Moses Moody hit a

404
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: three a second later. They ended up with fifty five

405
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, NBA record all time. So no, Steve,

406
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: they're not the three janitors they suited up that they

407
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: found in the arena last game. Golden State's final score

408
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: at Portland was one fifty seven to one oh one.

409
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: What in the final lead cruise Golden State overall in

410
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: the final weeks did go eight and two. Ladies and gentlemen,

411
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: They do have that road record for the season hanging

412
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: over their head as we get to postseason now. Warriors

413
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: finish eleven and thirty on the roade. Denver beat Sacramento Nuggets.

414
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: The one seed in the West had lost five oh six.

415
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Among the many games in the East earlier today wins

416
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: for Boston and Philadelphia. Boston finished it was with fifty

417
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: seven victories, a game behind first place Milwaukee. Philly will

418
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: host the playoff opener on Saturday against the Nets. They

419
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: won at Brooklyn today. Philly finishes with fifty four wins. Again.

420
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: The play in tournament is Tuesday through Friday, then the

421
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: playoffs begin on Saturday, and the NBA lets us know

422
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: game one of the finals is June first. Boy, that

423
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 1: seems a long way, so you know why, because it is.

424
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: That's why. Miami will host the first playing game in

425
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: the East on Tuesday night against the Hawks. That winner

426
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: goes to Boston on Wednesday. In the East, Toronto will

427
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: host the Bowls in a playing game wide receiver Odell

429
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: won the Masters by four strokes. Brooks Kepka tied for second.

430
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: This is a guy who led by four strokes when

431
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: the third round was suspended yesterday at Augusta Keepka went

432
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: twenty two straight holds today without a birdie. Final round

433
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: seventy five. You know who tied for second with him,

434
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: Phil Mickelson. Did everybody on the PGA tour were they

435
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: doing cartwheel's backflips? Phil Mickelson tied for second at the Masters,

436
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: oldest runner up there ever, final round sixty five. Jordan

437
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: Spieth tied for fourth place and gentleman in the NHL

438
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: most teams finished the regular season this Thursday night. Boston

439
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: is playing right now and winning again. Four to three

440
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: is the lead at Philadelphia with under four minutes to go.

441
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: Just last night, the Bruins won to tie the league

442
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: record of sixty two wins in a season. If they

443
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: hold on here, it's not only the record, it puts

444
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: their market sixty three and twelve plus five overtime losses.

445
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: And the Padres lead eight nothing in Atlanta, middle of

446
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: the fifth Back here, all right, Steve great stuff. Okay,

447
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: loud listen. This Clipper thing that you brought up a

448
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: from this is a massive chain link fence. And I

449
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: gotta give credit to the NBA, even though we've been

450
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: sitting here talking about all these teams that have absolutely

451
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: kicked the last two weeks of the season, and it's ridiculous.

452
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I would say the playing

453
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: tournament really really works, but it does to a degree

454
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: because it led to a situation that surrounds the Los

455
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers, which had spider legs. So before I lay

456
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: that all out, when you said the Clippers do Clipper things,

457
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: please do explain. Look, they had an opportunity to be

458
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: the sixth seed in the first round of the playoffs.

459
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: You go up, you go up, No, we're coming down.

460
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: The Church had an opportunity to do this. Or you're

461
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: talking about today, or you're talking about over the last

462
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: few weeks, two games right, kind of kind of. Look,

463
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is, you get yourself in a position. Right,

464
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: Golden State wins today, you lose today, you're in the

465
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: sixth seed, Golden States in the fifth seed. That's just

466
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: what it is going to be, not necessarily. I got

467
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: the if the New Orleans Pelicans win over the Timberwolves,

468
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: the Pelicans end up in the six and the Clippers

469
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: are out in the playing tournament. That's why they had

470
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: to go win. And they didn't know because these games

471
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: are being played at the same time. Again, you play

472
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: a Laker team in the playing tournament, if that were

473
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: to happen, you play a Laker team that you've dominated

474
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: for the last since twenty right, that's fair. But playing

475
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: tournament gay tournament is dangerous. It's not dangerous for the

476
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: Lakers because you know, starting two and ten and they

477
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: only six teams in the NBA history has ever even

478
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: made the postseason. Uh, starting to intend, so they've this

479
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: is what they were striving for. Of course they wanted six,

480
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: but you know, a play in for them one game

481
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: against you know, Minnesota to take to get to rest

482
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: until you know Sunday for the players talking about Minnesota too,

483
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: we'll get But but the Clippers have now solidified the

484
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: fifth seed and they go up against the Phoenix Suns,

485
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: who we know as a better team when healthy. Everyone

486
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: is healthy, everyone is rested, everybody's ready to go. So

487
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: I do not believe the Clippers will have Paul George.

488
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: And so now you're in a situation where there's another

489
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: year and nothing's happened yet. I'm not a prognosticator, but

490
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is the matchup doesn't favor them. It's

491
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: not a favorable matchup. A favorable matchup will be them

492
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: in the Kings. So now Golden State has a tremendous opportunity.

493
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: That's the I eighty game, right that first time ever?

494
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: In fact, yeah, did you know that the two In fact,

495
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: this is what's really crazy because we've been talking about

496
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: it here for weeks with regard to even this possibility.

497
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: The two teams have never even been in the playoffs

498
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: in the same year every ever, and now they're playing

499
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: each other. And so, yes, this is an ultimate changing

500
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: of the guard possibility. No plane flights, this is probably

501
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a This is just a quick drive.

502
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: If they wanted to fly about nineteen minutes. I don't

503
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: think they're gonna do that, though. They're gonna drive, and

504
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: you've got all these yeah, no, they'll drive and these

505
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: baby Kings other than Harrison Barnes, no playoff experience, A

506
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: Warrior's assistant from last year is their head coach. And

507
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: then the ultimate sort of like is the dynasty over team.

508
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of perfect. Yeah, it's it's that's what you

509
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: that's what you want. That's why Golden State fought like

510
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: they did and did what they did to get this series. Now,

511
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: Golden State can end up being extremely dangerous. All you

512
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: want is a series without the pressure. There's not a

513
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: lot of pressure here for Golden State. When healthy, they're

514
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: the most one of the most dangerous teams in the NBA.

515
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: That's just what it is. And they're healthy right now

516
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: and they're going to be dangerous. You saw what they

517
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: You saw what they did today. I mean, goodness, gracious. Yeah, listen,

518
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this though, he from and you'll love this.

519
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I bet you're already thinking of it. It's not just

520
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: the first round series that a lot of people are

521
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: talking about here in the Bay Area. It's what could

522
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: happen next after that, which will explain here in just

523
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: a moment. The Masters is around the corner as well.

524
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: Some Tiger Woods and John Ram items to get to.

525
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: That's e from Salamia, Mark Willard and this is Fox

526
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Okay, These here are the tire Rack Dot

527
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: com Studios. And it's not just Warriors Kings round one

528
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: from it's could it be home court advantage for the

529
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Warriors in round two because around these parts, and I

530
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: think around every parts, it sort of looks and feels

531
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: in this moment like the Lakers might be better than

532
00:34:54,840 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzlies, better positioned, healthier, certainly more experien arians.

533
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: That's a good little changing of the guard type of

534
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: a series as well, assuming it happens. The Lakers have

535
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: got to go ahead and win that playing game against

536
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they will, which will explain here

537
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: in just a second, But but Lakers Grizzlies, and if

538
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: the Warriors and Lakers with all their championship pedigree can

539
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: take out the Kings and the Grizzlies, sets up a

540
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: little bit of a spicy second round matchup as well,

541
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: which is a welcome idea for the Warrior's side because

542
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: they'd be at home, and we know how bad they

543
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: are on the road. But I think the NBA would

544
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: would approve as well. Of course, that would be amazing,

545
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: and they do need that home They need that home

546
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: court advantage at some point in these playoffs are gonna

547
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: need it, maybe not the first round because it's pretty

548
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: much like being at home anyway. But yeah, but do

549
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: you know what championship teams in the playoffs are just

550
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: different animals. There is a switch, There is a button

551
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: that you can hit and you can come alive. And

552
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: I think that's what that's what what we're seeing, that's

553
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: what I believe it's going to happen. Oh and remember

554
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: there's also something functional potentially about the Warriors playoffs and

555
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: that that that Andrew Wiggins question appears to be about. Answer,

556
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: it's about and so it's it's not just flipping a switch.

557
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: It's also huge strength, right, which I've I've said for weeks.

558
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: The only reason I wouldn't, you know, sort of kill

559
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: the Warrior's chances for the last few months because at

560
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: no point have they really looked like a championship squad.

561
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: But I've said all along, Look, you leave open for

562
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: the possibility that the timing just so the works, that

563
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: all of their players are available at the right time. Yeah,

564
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: and doesn't mean it's going to stay that way, but

565
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: it looks that way right now. And so I don't know.

566
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: Maybe the Kings will take care of them. I really

567
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: don't know, but this great King's story all year long.

568
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: I think they think they want this matchup, but I

569
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: don't think they actually want this match well. I believe

570
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: when you're in that position, you want any matchup, right,

571
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: because once you accomplish the goal, you don't immediately be like,

572
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: oh no, right, like you you're relishing anything that comes

573
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: after accomplishing that goal because you're now at a different place.

574
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: And I believe that the Kings believe that they're at

575
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: a different place. They're one of the top teams in

576
00:37:52,040 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: the league, and they're willing to play anybody anywhere to

577
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: represent that. And I get it, and you should be

578
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: like that. You know, us, as the talking heads and

579
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: the fans, and you know, the people looking on the

580
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: outside looking in, we see what the reality is ahead

581
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: of them in the task that they have to do.

582
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: They don't They're just in it. They're just in it.

583
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: This is what they destrive for. So they're they're just

584
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: in it, and they're gonna show up and they're gonna play,

585
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: and they're young and they're inexperienced, but they're fun to watch.

586
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: They can shoot, and they play a little bit of defense,

587
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: a little very little. Being the operator, I do. I

588
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: do want to hear your thoughts on Lakers Grizzlies, because

589
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: I am gonna go ahead and look right past the

590
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves, because they are now not the Timberwolves. They

591
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: are the real Timberwolves of Minnesota. They have changed the

592
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: name of their team. I don't know if anybody heard

593
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: about what happened there, but there are actually two things

594
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: that happened there today. Rudy Gobert is apparently lightweight Kyrie Irving.

595
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: I also wouldn't acquire that guy, not for anything, not

596
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: for nothing, not for never, would ever ever do it.

597
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert gets into a shouting match, shoving match, throws

598
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: a punch at Kyle Anderson today, spills into the locker

599
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: room at halftime. The Minnesota Timberwolves sent him home. Oh,

600
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: by the way, one of their young players, Jaden McDaniels,

601
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: has also been announced out with a fractured hand. And

602
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: oh oh, also, he punched a wall on the way

603
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: to the locker room at halftime. I wonder if those

604
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: two things are related. You want to talk about just

605
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: sinking ship. Oh my goodness, gracious, it's unbelievable, it really is.

606
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: And now you're in a situation where you know, you

607
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: do all of that, you get yourself in a position

608
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: and you might not have two of your top players.

616
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: same place. In this month of April, a new Master's Champ,

Speaker 1: baseball season in flow, the NBA playoffs are here, the

623
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: get back to the Wolves, their drama, the Lakers, whether

624
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: Ephram's willing to start previewing the Laker Grizzly series that

625
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: doesn't even exist as of yet. We'll get into all that.

626
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: But I got a Tiger Woods related question for you.

627
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: I from I think so many of us have the

628
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: same reaction in watching him limp around out there this weekend,

629
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: and you sort of knew what was coming. I mean,

630
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: they advertised it. They're like, the ball striking is great,

631
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: the golf game is great, the walking not great, and

632
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: so can he get through four rounds? And then when

633
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: you add in cold weather, rain delays all of that,

634
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: it just led to a point where the man couldn't

635
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,720
Speaker 1: even walk. And so we wake up to the news

636
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: that he has withdrawn from the tournament, and he tweeted

637
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: out his you know, support for the remaining golfers and

638
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: thoughts for the fans and all of that good stuff

639
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: with Tiger. And I know what a lot of people

640
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: are gonna say is just like, oh man, Mike, is

641
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: this worth it? And then other people will say, guys,

642
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 1: we love we love seeing him out there, no matter what.

643
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: I sort of had a different thought real quick in

644
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: that last year's Masters ratings were actually up from the

645
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: year before. This was no great finish, though you did

646
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: have the names you'd want, absent Tiger and kind of

647
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: firing up the board with Mickelson and Speeth and kept

648
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: coversus rom and live versus not and all that stuff

649
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: that you would have wanted from For years, we've heard

650
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: from the golf world, what the hell are they going

651
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: to do post Tiger? How are they going to get

652
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: eyeballs post Tiger? Where do you think we sit right

653
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: now with this? Because I got to admit, it feels

654
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: like it's in a little bit better shape than I

655
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: thought it would be. Well, it is because we've been

656
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: able to move past Tiger while Tiger is plotting alone. Right,

657
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: Like if Tiger had stepped away from the game and

658
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: had been retired for the last five years or whatever,

659
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: then that would be a different situation. There's still hope

660
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: that Tiger continues to play. So we haven't had to

661
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: deal with golf without Tiger because Tiger's part of golf

662
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 1: still and so that makes that transition just a little

663
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: bit easier. Right, Remember when Shaq went to the Celtics

664
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: and then the Suns, right and then Cleveland, it was like, man,

665
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: we got a chance to see the NBA without the

666
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: dominance of Shack. While Shack was still part of the NBA,

667
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: but at no stretch outside of when he was with

668
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: Duane Wade and the heat, was he anything resembling the

669
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Shaquille o' no that we know him love. I feel

670
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: the same way about Tiger. Tiger is still there, He's

671
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: still checking any He may shoot a sixty seven one round,

672
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: can't go the whole four ounce. It's just impossible. Body

673
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: won't be able to hold up from wear and tear

674
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: and the traumas of the accidents. So it's it's great

675
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: that Tiger is still a part of golf. It's just

676
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: not going to be the Tiger and the golf where

677
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: he used to seeing from him. That's how the PGA

678
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: has been able to to weather the storm, so to speak,

679
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: and you know, quiet is kept. You know, this live

680
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: tournament has also broughten a little bit of of of

681
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: excitement to the golf world because now there's a competitor

682
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: to the PGA. Well not just a competitor, but also

683
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: the idea of a bad boy or a group of

684
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: bad boys. I mean that was that was always hard

685
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: for golf to find because it feels nerdy. Let's let's

686
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: be honest, they're the happy morts play right, yeah, thank you.

687
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: You know, even Tigers out there with kind of his

688
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: nerd voice and everything, and You're like, all right, where

689
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: are we supposed to find the angst here? Do you know?

690
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: Like any reality TV show has got the bad people

691
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 1: and then the good people and you root for one

692
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: like this is why the Dallas Cowboys are so great

693
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: for the NFL, because they could always just play the

694
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: role of evil and whoever's playing them as good and

695
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: then like something like the Patriots will come along and

696
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: then you can't even figure out maybe they're the evil

697
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: Empire whatever it is. We're able to sort of hang

698
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: that logo around teams in all sports Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, Lakers, Celtics, whatever.

699
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: You can't do it in golf, well now you can now.

700
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a little concocted myself. I don't think

701
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: the people who went to the Live Tour are like

702
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: the the marvel common people geniuses you think they are

703
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: some people do. I do think Phil Mickelson's a little

704
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: bit of that. I think he's a phony, and I

705
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: think that all the things that he's said and done

706
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: um have sort of now been been figured out. And

707
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: it's not just because of Live Golf. It's all kinds

708
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: of things. But whether it's real or imagine doesn't even matter.

709
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: What it is is that golf now has rivalries. Yeah,

710
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: and that's what you need. You have to have that

711
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 1: in sports or else. I just that the average fans

712
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: got nothing to sink their teeth into. Yeah, I can't

713
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: wait for the you know, the live versus PGA you

714
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: know tournament, right, That's yeah, that's basically what it would be. Yeah,

715
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: you know so, I mean more and more guys are

716
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: going to move on to live. It's just too much

717
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: money involved. It's just golf, right, it's just too much

718
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: money involved too. It's I mean, why would unless unless

719
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: it goes away. I mean at a certain point you'd

720
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: think that this was an investment by the live tournament.

721
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: And if they're not going to get the return on

722
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: the investment, are they going to keep trying to get

723
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: the players? I don't know, but they're they're not getting

724
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: the attention and ratings and numbers that they want. Not

725
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: so far. Well, you know, they're still holding out for

726
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: Tiger to just go on and walk on over there.

727
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, a bad Tiger it live, you know, is

728
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: worth the billion that they tried to pay them already.

729
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: It might be actually the exact advertisement they need for

730
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: Tigers They're like, well, we only play fifty four holes.

731
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: Come on, let's right, you know, let's let's let's save

732
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: some of that. Let's let's save some of that. Man, right,

733
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: we get you in, get you out. You know. Here's

734
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: my question though, because I have maybe what's a minority

735
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: opinion here, which is, when Tiger looks like he did

736
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: this weekend, would you still rather see him look like

737
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: this or would you rather not see him at all?

738
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: See him and just see I would I still can

739
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: watch this version of Tiger and instead of going for

740
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: the win, he's going for the cut, and and and

741
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: instead of uh, you know, having that great club twirl,

742
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: he's just trying to walk from seventeen to eighteen. Whatever

743
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: that guy does. I can watch it. Yeah, I can't

744
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: do it, man. It hurts me. It hurts me watching him,

745
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: uh just barely walk from hole to hole. It just

746
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: it seems you don't want to see it, like you

747
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: don't want to see it because it's not. It's like

748
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: Jordan at the Wizards, right, You'll you'll get some moments,

749
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: but it's forty year old Michael Jordan playing with a

750
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: bunch of kids, and it just it's not the Jordan

751
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: that we know and we loved and we grew up. Why,

752
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 1: it's just not the same thing. It's not the same energy.

753
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, magic when he came back,

754
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: and Magic came back and he was powerfulward you know,

755
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, yeah, but I mean athletes do that. Yeah,

756
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: I know, but but still rather I mean, let's sake, Lebron,

757
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: he not as far down that road you're talking about

758
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: right now. But he's not what he was. No, but

759
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: he's still I mean, he's still one of the top

760
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: players in the league, which you can deal with. Does

761
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: he take plays off and time off and games off

762
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: on defense? Absolutely, But today he came out and gave

763
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: you thirty six and eight and six and like that'

764
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: that is he's still playing at at high level. Tiger

765
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: Woods is not playing at a high level. What was

766
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: the nine under nine over? Yeah, um, you want to

767
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: see that? Well, like I said, it's not that I

768
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: want to see it, but I would rather see that

769
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: than not see him at all. I would rather see

770
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: this than watch him with a headset on and he's

771
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: covering the ninth hole for CBS. I think I'd take

772
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: that better. I think, well, you guys. You know this whole, right,

773
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: this this whole in my career, it's been huge. It's

774
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: been a huge, huge hole for me. Back in two

775
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: thousand and four, I boll did this hole and it

776
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: ruined my tournament. What it's just hard to watch us.

777
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: You know, Arg will be the greatest golfer to ever play,

778
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: playing the way he's playing. And I was talking to

779
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 1: my wife, and this is crazy because I was talking

780
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: to my wife and I was talking about this very thing.

781
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: I said, it must be killing Tiger Woods to be

782
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: relatively still young, right, what is Tiger forty four, forties

783
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: seven old? Even older than me? I'm forty seven, He's not.

784
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm forty eight, and I think he's almost exactly

785
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: a year younger than me. I think he's forty seven.

786
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: But I'll pick it up. Okay, But you can play

787
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: in the PGA confirmed forty seven, forty seven, You can

788
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: play until you what is the cutoff was sixty? What

789
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: is it? I don't know if there is a I

790
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: mean Phil Mickelson finished the second place, right, so for

791
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: we were I was talking to my wife about it

792
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: must be killing him to have been so great and

793
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: still relatively for golf, you know, capable of playing at

794
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: the age right opposed to any other sport, right opposed

795
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 1: to basketball, football, where the shelf life comes at you faster,

796
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: and golf it is just you the course. So it

797
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: must be really hard for him to have his body

798
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: not do what it's supposed to do. And he's not

799
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: a senior citizen. No, I get it. I agree with

800
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: everything you're saying. But you know, Willie Mays with the Mets, you,

801
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan with the Wizard's, Bret Farv with the Jets,

802
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: even even portions of Tom Brady this year, which you

803
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: know he's still playing at a very high level. But

804
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm I'm here for all that

805
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,919
Speaker 1: I gain. I'd rather doubt than nothing at all. That's

806
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: my point. Well, I would well agree to disappline. Now

807
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: this is a little different though, because this is like

808
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 1: the man's in pain. It's hard to watch, man, Yeah, yeah,

809
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: really hard to watch. I mean, why do you think

810
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: he's still doing it because he can't let it go?

811
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: He should Technically he should be able to still be

812
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. That's a part of it,

813
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I guess. But technically he also shouldn't even

814
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: have a leg This is also true. Yeah, but he

815
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: does so he wants to use it, right, Yeah, yeah,

816
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: I get you. I get you. Um. At the end

824
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: Gobert has sent a tweet aphrom would you like to

825
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: hear it? I really would. I'm so glad that you would.

826
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: This is what Rudy had to say. Emotions got the

827
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: best of me today. I should not have reacted the

828
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: way I did, regardless of what was said. I want

829
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: to apologize to the fans, the organization, and particularly to Kyle,

830
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: who is someone that I truly love and respect as

831
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: a teammate. That's the end of the tweet. Okay, you

832
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: sound like you have some thoughts. Well, it didn't seem

833
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: like you loved and respected him as a teammate at

834
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 1: your job. You know what it takes for you to

835
00:54:53,520 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: punch somebody at your place of business. It takes time

836
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: of built up frustrations, yes, for it all of a

837
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: sudden to just pop like you can have arguments, you

838
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: don't have to like I didn't like everybody I was

839
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: on the team with. But there's a respect there, right

840
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: because we're there to help the team win together. We

841
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: may never hang out outside of the you know, the facility,

842
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: but there's a respect there. You there's a lack of

843
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: respect if you want at work on the job, if

844
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: you want to punch your your your co worker in

845
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: the face. So there's there's smoke and fire at the

846
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: same place. So I don't buy the oh, you know

847
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: the no man's It was eighty two games, So what

848
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, did you just snapped? No, there's

849
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: a build up there. Yeah, I'm with you on that.

850
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: I'm okay. How would you I remember the conversations we had.

851
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: How would you compare this to Draymond Green and Jordan Pool?

852
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: Definitely building camp of definitely, But but what about how

853
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: you are can well that was practice? Can you come

854
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: back from it well, I mean took it took them

855
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: and this is just my eyes. It took them a minute.

856
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: Now took the Warriors a minute. But I do I do, yeah, exactly,

857
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: that's the problem they have a day. I mean, what

858
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: does the team do that? Does the team let him

859
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: play that? The thing? Well? And oh, by the way,

860
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: Jaden McDaniels who broke his hand by punching a wall

861
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: on his way to the locker room at halftime, I

862
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,879
Speaker 1: can only assume that the two things are related, right,

863
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 1: because the dust up at the bench happened just before halftime,

864
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: according to reports, and Gobert and Anderson were still screaming

865
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: at one another in the locker room at halftime. There

866
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: were other players involved in trying to at least break

867
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: them up. I have to imagine that there's a chance

868
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: at least that McDaniels frustration was related to this. So

869
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: they're not just potentially losing Gobert, they're losing McDaniels for sure.

870
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: And McDaniels is their best defensive player and was the

871
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: problem that the person who's probably tasked with guarding Lebron then,

872
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: so now he's out and we know Gobert is a

873
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: defensive specialists inside, they probably just lost their two best

874
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: defensive players if they don't play him. That is accurate.

875
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: And I mean as a team, we know McDaniels is done,

876
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: But as a team, where is the what's the message?

877
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: Do you not suspend him for a game? So let

878
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: me ask you this, ye, let me ask you this.

879
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: Where does the league come into play? Because it was

880
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: at a game, right, if he punches someone on the

881
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: other team, correct, well, then the league is definitely stepping in.

882
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is is it the action in

883
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: itself or is it versus an opponent where the league

884
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: steps in and does something. Well, I'm always fascinated by

885
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: this because there's a number of different things we can

886
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: talk about. Sure, uh, Draymond did it in practice and

887
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: the league did nothing and supposed no one was supposed

888
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: to see it. Someone suggest the Warriors did nothing, and

889
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: in terms of suspension and whatnot, they didn't. Now, you

890
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: could make the case that there was punishment within the

891
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: framework of the organization. The guys sort of handled it

892
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: themselves that kind of thing, But there was no fine,

893
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: there was no suspension of Draymond Green. I'm like, I

894
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: don't know what you said, there's no games, so what

895
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: are you suspending it? He went home for a while. Yep,

896
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: absolutely no question, and he had to earn the trust

897
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: back of the team and all of that stuff. Now

898
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: go to something. Do you remember when Aaron Donald of

899
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: the Rams swung a helmet at a joint practice and

900
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: whacked Now, this was an opposing player whacked a Bengal

901
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: in the head with a wayward helmet, and the league

902
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: was like, there's nothing we could even do about this

903
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: this practice, this is not our event. I was like,

904
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: I was kind of a cop out. Yeah, but the

905
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: is this was a national television this was in a game.

906
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: That game yep, the other two were at practice. This

907
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: is for all to see, and you know people were

908
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: watching it live on TV. So what does it? Does

909
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 1: the league have a voice here? Do they step in

910
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you threw a punch in a game

911
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: or during a game, whether I'll be a timeout or anything,

912
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: then that's a one game suspension or on? Is just

913
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: I think both sides have every right in my opinion.

914
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't know the exact rules, but I would have

915
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: it a hard time believing that somehow in the CBA.

916
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: It suggests that if you punch someone, as long as

917
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: it's a teammate, it's okay. Yeah that I don't I

918
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: don't think that. I don't think it says that. Well,

919
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: here's the other thing I want to point out, and

920
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I have had this conversation before.

921
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: We as a society are the worst apologizers ever because

922
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: the words I'm sorry or I apologize for that, like

923
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: you need to you need to fill in the rest

924
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: of that sentence, and then there needs to be an

925
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: immediate period as quickly as possible. But we don't do that.

926
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: We don't put periods at the end of those sentences.

927
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: We say things like, I'm sorry if you were offended,

928
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you're mad, I'm sorry dot dot dot,

929
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, I should not have reacted the way I did,

930
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: regardless of what was said, which is an indication that

931
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: you still think someone else did something wrong. Why can't

932
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: we put a period in there? I should not have

933
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: reacted the way I did. Period that did. Put a

934
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: period right there. Put a period right there. If I'm

935
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: the Wolves, if I'm Kyle Anderson. That's actually one of

936
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: the reasons I am thinking about suspension because it's an

937
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: indicator that those emotions have not fully been dealt with yet. Yeah,

938
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: and you gotta there. There has to be consequences. The

939
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: gotta be consequences because you gotta send the message to

940
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the team. Can't getting no fistfighting in

941
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the middle of a game, which is what are y'are

942
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 1: doing now. Of course you are a Laker fan, So

943
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Laker fan with Rudy Gobert and I think

944
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 1: we still gonna Bote race him. Yeah. That okay, So

945
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: that's my question coming up for you in a second.

946
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: Is it too early to start previewing Lakers and Grizzlies?

947
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: I want, I want your answer for that. But but

948
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: but let's get Steve to Sagra first. Let's find out

Speaker 1: to pick up his option. Detroit lost badly at Chicago

974
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,360

975

Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's nine and oh after shutting out Oakland eleven

1002
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: to nothing. The A's have lost four in a row.

1003
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: They're already two and seven. I'm not even sure teams

1004
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: have played nine games yet, but the A's are already

1005
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: two and seven. And yes, we had the Masters finish up.

1006

Speaker 1: John Rom the winner by four strokes Tiger Woods Withdrew

1007
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: He barely made the cut. Rom earned about three point

1008
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: two five million dollars today. Who Verse was up this

1009
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: year considerably so. Already this season, John Ram has earned

1010
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: over thirteen million dollars. We're in April. People. Second place

1011
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: golfers this week each got about one point six mill

1012
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: back to you, man, that's almost like, I don't know

1013
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 1: twour money or something like that John Ram is making.

1014
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I mean, by the way, you want to

1015
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: know how you can tell when your kids are starting

1016
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: to grow up. I'm watching John Ram tap in for

1017
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: the Master's victory with my youngest son. He's nine, and

1018
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: instead of as the ball rolls in the hole, he

1019
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: doesn't say, oh wow, like you know, John Ram is

1020
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: a Master's champion. He goes, man, John rob just won

1021
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: three million dollars. I was like, oh man, that kind

1022
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,800
Speaker 1: of hurt my heart for a little bit. I think

1023
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: I think the magic has gone. I think it's over.

1024
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: It's all about the money now. Hey man, something on

1025
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the line? Yeah, no, joke, something on the line. So

1026
01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: all kinds of fun stuff. While Steve was doing his

1027
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: thing there, I'm like pulling up all kinds of odds

1028
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: related to the NBA playoffs that he was talking about

1029
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: just now. So, for instance, I wondered if there even

1030
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: was a line out yet on the Laker t Wolves

1031
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: game because of the Rudy Gobert question that we were asking,

1032
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: there is a line what do you what do you

1033
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: think it is? Lakers buy six? Uh? Did you look? No?

1034
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: The Lakers are six and a half point favorite. Very

1035
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: goody from You know, I'm pretty good at that, um,

1036
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: whenever we do it, you know. Okay, So how about

1037
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,600
Speaker 1: this game one between the Kings and Warriors. Who's the

1038
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: favorite Warriors? It's actually not true. The Kings are a

1039
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: one one point favorite. However, however, yeah, that's that's not

1040
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: a favorite. That's not a favorite. You know how this goes?

1041
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: Check this out the Warriors. How often is this the case?

1042
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: The Warriors, obviously the road team in this series, a

1043
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: minus two ninety favorite to win the series? Of course? Yeah, yeah,

1044
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 1: we know that. One point and it's going to change.

1045
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: Watch it'll change by what they play Sun Saturday, right

1046
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Sunday they play Saturday, play on Saturday, lay a change

1047
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: they play at night on April fifteenth. Yeah, yeah, so

1048
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 1: one point dog, So by next Saturday, I would have

1049
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: been right with my original answer. Well, we'll see, we'll

1050
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: see you and I won't get to talk until the

1051
01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 1: next day, but I'm sure we'll be reacting to whatever

1052
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 1: happens in that game. Of course. Look, I would not

1053
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: be surprised if if the Kings win game won, but

1054
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: the Warriors win the series. That actually would make a

1055
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: whole lot of sense. I mean, I don't think that

1056
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: the Warriors are gonna mess around. I really well, but

1057
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: did you see who who they brought to the arena today?

1058
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: What they did? Oh? Oh, I know. But they're playing. Listen,

1059
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: there's nobody on that Blazer's team playing today that you

1060
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: even heard of. I get it. I understand that. But Nick,

1061
01:09:55,479 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: but shooters are going to shoot. Okay and Clay and

1062
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Steph are in their bag right now. They are. They're

1063
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: fired up and ready to go. They are. But they gotta, yeah,

1064
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: they gotta inject Wiggins back into the fold and figure

1065
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: out the minutes and the energy in the now. Remember now,

1066
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:22,879
Speaker 1: Golden One Center on Saturday night. These people, these human

1067
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:27,839
Speaker 1: beings have been sitting at a bar down the street

1068
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: for sixteen years. I get it. Ye okay, right, they

1069
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: write they went from I was in college to now

1070
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: I've got problems and babies and they're bringing that angst

1071
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: to the arena on Saturday night. That is going to

1072
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: be tough. Now, that's an environment. It's a it's a

1073
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: big environment. I mean playoff pop I mean playoff of

1074
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: get your popcorn because playoff basketball is back in Sacramento.

1075
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean the fan base, there's amazing it really is.

1076
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: It harkens me back to those battles with the Lakers

1077
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: and the King. I mean that was just great, great basketball,

1078
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 1: great basketball. And you know, I grew up there. I

1079
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: grew up in LA you know, went to high school

1080
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: in Sacramento. So I have an affinity for them, Avec,

1081
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: I know the owner. So this is great for them.

1082
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I love this next step that they're taking. Is good

1083
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: for Mike Brown. Never really was a fan of Mike Brown,

1084
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: but I think this is great for them. They don't

1085
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,839
Speaker 1: have a bona fide star, they don't have that marquee player.

1086
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: They're just a young team that plays extremely well. Sipon.

1087
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: This is phenomenal. The Aaron Fox is tremendous, But they

1088
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: don't have a top five, top ten player on their team. Right.

1089
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 1: They just played good team basketball. It's you they'll be

1090
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: exposed a little bit because of the lack of defensive prowess.

1091
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: You can't leave Golden State open. They shot fifty five

1092
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: percent from three today today. It was funny, man. I

1093
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you watched any of it, I mean

1094
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, so, yeah, I was watching the Lakers'

1095
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: just being there like you want to dunk it and

1096
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: be like, no, Clay's over there by himself, we'll throw

1097
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: it to him. And because you get three points for that.

1098
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 1: It was hilarious. Man. They were not guarding anything, so

1099
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 1: you know that's the way that one went. But um,

1105
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you some pitch clock observations. Speaking of baseball,

1106
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: the oddest thing that has ever happened in the history

1107
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 1: of the sport also happened yesterday. All of that is

1108
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 1: coming up next. That's e from Salama, Mark Withard and

1109
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: it's Fox Sports Radio. Okay, Tirack dot com Studios. A

1110
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: from I don't know if you saw this story. You

1111
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 1: know who the Chattanooga lookouts are. No Chattanooga lookouts, but

1112
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: look out because they can beat you in baseball without

1113
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 1: the benefit of a hit. They don't even need a hit.

1114
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: They can put up a big crooked number without the

1115
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: benefit of a hit. I don't know if you've heard

1116
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: about this double a game. By the way, I love

1117
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: minor league baseball team names. I love it. It's the

1118
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Chattanooga Lookouts against the Rocket City trash pandas Man. That's funny, Okay,

1119
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: So that's the that's the starter. They played a double

1120
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,920
Speaker 1: header yesterday in the minor leagues. That means to seven

1121
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: inning games. Okay. In the doubleheader, the Chattanooga Lookouts, this

1122
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:22,759
Speaker 1: is in both games combined, got a total of one hit. One. However,

1123
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: they won one of the games and it was not

1124
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: the game where they got a hit. Now, this kind

1125
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 1: of thing happens once every blue moon in baseball. Somebody

1126
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 1: doesn't get a hit, and there's a walk and a error,

1127
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,719
Speaker 1: stolen base and blah blah, and they lose one to nothing.

1128
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: Here's this different. Here, the Chattanouga Lookouts, without the benefit

1129
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: of a hit, scored seven times, all in one inning.

1130
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: So I keep hearing about this last night, and I'm like,

1131
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 1: I need to investigate because you have to explain to

1132
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: me how that's even possible. How is it possible? Like

1133
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: if I asked you, how did you score seven times

1134
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: without a hit? Like, what would you even think happened.

1135
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: They walked, the bases loaded, hit the batter. That's one.

1136
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: Um some wild pitch they stole home there, they stole

1137
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:34,520
Speaker 1: home three times and you're still only halfway there. Um

1138
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 1: a pop fly somebody after it was caught, somebody in

1139
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: uh on third beat the throw home twice? Okay, I mean,

1140
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean I think you got to about six. Yeah,

1141
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm still not there. But oddly enough, you're on the

1142
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 1: right track. So I dove in and I'm like, talk

1143
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: to me, what happened here? Because I understand that as

1144
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,839
Speaker 1: a little league coach that happens all the time, because

1145
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 1: nobody can throw a strike. And you'll sit there for

1146
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 1: an hour and a half and watch one half inning.

1147
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable, right, I like, I just look

1148
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: into the stands and I'm like, I don't know what

1149
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: to tell you. Parents, Now, thank you for being here.

1150
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: You're wonderful. But these are people who are actually getting

1151
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: paid now, not a lot, but they're getting paid to

1152
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: play baseball. This double a Reds and Angels organizations. So

1153
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: the Chattanooga Lookouts just keep parading to the plate and

1154
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: the trash pan does all in one inning, five walks,

1155
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: four hit batsmen. Wow, So so that that drives in whatever,

1156
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know, four or five whatever that draw

1157
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: that drives in. So you had essentially nine free passes.

1158
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 1: And then with two outs and the bases loaded, somebody

1159
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: had a flyball to the outfield and the outfielder decided

1160
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: not to catch it. Well, then that's a hit right now,

1161
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: stood right right underneath it, right into the glove, and

1162
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 1: then not into the glove, onto the ground. Seven runs,

1163
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: no hits. Wow, that's hard to do it. We were

1164
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: alive when that happened. It will never happen again. That

1165
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: is hard to do. Not amazing. Wow. Now I will

1166
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: say this, Um, I went to a game yesterday. The

1167
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: trash pandas weren't there. It was actually a major League

1168
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: baseball game, and I was thinking. I was thinking of myself, like, okay,

1169
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 1: I get you a turn on TV and the game

1170
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: moves quicker, But what would this feel like in the building?

1171
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: Can I go to the concession stand and not miss

1172
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: two innings? Am I gonna feel like I'm not getting

1173
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: my money's worth because I work to get all the

1174
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: way down to this game. We park, we walk, we

1175
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: get to the seats, and like seven minutes later it's

1176
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: the fifth inning. You know what I was wondering about this?

1177
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: He from, It's glorious. It's absolutely glorious. There's stuff happening

1178
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: all the time to playing. You'd like if you say

1179
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: something to your friend, you look back and the next

1180
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: batter is up, Like what happened to the last batter?

1181
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 1: Oh he's out, he flew out the center? Did you

1182
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 1: miss it? I missed it. It's crazy, and somehow the

1183
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: game still finds a way to go two and a

1184
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 1: half to three hours. I don't feel like I, you know,

1185
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm out of money or something. From They're done good.

1186
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 1: See look at that, Look at that? They done good.

1187
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: You were angry, to say the least. I wasn't. I

1188
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: was No, I wasn't angry. No, I was curious, curious.

1189
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: We're okay, we call it. Well. My thought was this.

1190
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: My thought was, it's not about how much time we're

1191
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: at the game. It's about how fast paced it is

1192
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,959
Speaker 1: of what you're doing, Like, are you doing something entertaining

1193
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: while I'm here, I've got three and a half hours

1194
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: if you're entertaining. But it wasn't entertaining, Yeah, I guess

1195
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: was better Yeah, we're moving it along, we get some

1210
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: Champ Tiger Woods, somewhat predictably does not get all the

1211
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: way to the end of the weekend, even though it

1212
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 1: wasn't because he missed a cut. And we're all set

1213
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:50,679
Speaker 1: with all of our NBA matchups, including the Lakers and

1214
01:20:51,080 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies, right right, absolutely right. Okay, go ahead break

1215
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: it down for me, big fella. Seeing is it if

1216
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: you're comfortable assuming victory on Tuesday night? First of all,

1217
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: listen to me, Hey, what you're not going to make

1218
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: me do that? Okay, do what you're not going to

1219
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: make me? I see what you're trying to do. I'm

1220
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: it sounds to me as a Golden State Warrior man,

1221
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: it sounds to me like you're trying to make me

1222
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:45,799
Speaker 1: overlook a very important playing game on Tuesday. I'm actually

1223
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,639
Speaker 1: not this might have I'm not going to out break

1224
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: down the Laker Timberwolves game. But I can't break down

1225
01:21:55,880 --> 01:22:00,639
Speaker 1: the Lakers Memphis game. I can't do it. Come on, um, well,

1226
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: you don't have to break down the Lakers Memphis game.

1227
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to. There's gonna be a bunch of wolves. None,

1228
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: they made a bunch of them. There's gonna be uh five, six,

1229
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 1: seven of them. I don't know, but uh no, the

1230
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: timber won't get that's four gone. That's done, is it?

1231
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, Jade McDaniels, get out of here. Come on,

1232
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: Minnesota now winning that game? So that's a win. Um,

1233
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 1: I want to know if you think the Lakers can

1234
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: take down John Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. Steven Adams

1235
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: will not appear. How about this series? I think the

1236
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Lakers can beat anybody in the West. I think they

1237
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: can beat anybody in the world. Broad too much, A

1238
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: little broad. I'm not satisfying what you want. Nah, No,

1239
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: that's just I don't know. There's not enough meat on

1240
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: that ball. You know, we do. Man, Well, no, this

1241
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: may offend you, now, now for real, this may offend you.

1242
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: But I speak for Warriors fans here. They are rooting

1243
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. They are rooting for the Lakers to

1244
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: win on Tuesday night, and then and then they are

1245
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 1: rooting for the Lakers to defeat the Memphis Grips. I know,

1246
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 1: because you guys wan't home court advantage. I know. But

1247
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: that's the But that's the kind of a to B answer.

1248
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: There's a bigger answer. And this is the potentially offensive part.

1249
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: A Warrior fan sees the Grizzlies as much more of

1250
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: a rival. Right now, then, Oh yeah, y'all got some

1251
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: bad blood and that is just the truth. Yeah. I

1252
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 1: know that the San Francisco La thing is a thing,

1253
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: and it's mostly a baseball thing. Um and a life

1254
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: thing more than it is a Warrior Laker it is.

1255
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: It's a life thing. It is. It's just a life thing. Brother. Listen,

1256
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: I grew up in the Bay Area. I go to

1257
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 1: my twenty year high school reunion and this was years ago.

1258
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: So I go to my twenty year high school reunion.

1259
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: At that time, as you knew, I had a what

1260
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: I felt was a thriving career in southern California. That's

1261
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:19,799
Speaker 1: that's that's where I was for for years. And people people,

1262
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: people in the Bay Area, Oh hey, gosh, haven't seen

1263
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: you in fifteen years? How you doing well? This is

1264
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 1: what I'm doing? Oh wow, really okay, so wait wait

1265
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,560
Speaker 1: where are you doing this? I lived down in southern California.

1266
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: And they go, no, they go, are you okay? Do

1267
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 1: you like it? Like I mean, it's for a lot

1268
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:49,759
Speaker 1: of people when you grow up in the Bay Area,

1269
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Like the idea of living in LA is just this

1270
01:24:54,800 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: like queasy feeling. I'm telling it's a funny dynam I've

1271
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: very much enjoyed living in both places. Come to sports, yes,

1272
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,880
Speaker 1: come to sports. Bay Area through and through you you

1273
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 1: know this, But there's a life thing there and a

1274
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: giant Dodger thing more so than a forty nine er

1275
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 1: ram thing and a Laker Warrior thing the Warriors right now,

1276
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: if you're focused on one team, that you're like, Okay,

1277
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:31,679
Speaker 1: who really really bothers you? SA Memphis Chrizzlies, Memphis Chrizzlies,

1278
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: because boy, they did talk to to talk talk talk

1279
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 1: talk talk, and Dylan Brooks breaking Gary Peyton's arm and

1280
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: all of the you know, Draymond and Dylan and just everything.

1281
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 1: John Morant has been a very, very big piece of

1282
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: this puzzle. When the Warriors won the title last year,

1283
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: one of the first things that he pointed to in

1284
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:56,759
Speaker 1: the postgame press conference was a tweet that Jaren Jackson

1285
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:01,559
Speaker 1: had sent three months earlier about strength and numbers borrowing

1286
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: the Warriors motto. They felt that that was disrespectful. Um,

1287
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 1: if the Lakers could just go ahead and remove Memphis

1288
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: from this process for them, I think the Warriors would

1289
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 1: give them a hearty handshaken to thank you. Yeah, man,

1290
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: you know we're not focused on your dirty work. Okay, Okay,

1291
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: you're not going to try to spin us to be

1292
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: doing your bidding. Well. I don't think that the Warriors

1293
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: feel like we're getting to have somebody. No, no, no, no no,

1294
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: they could do it themselves. If it comes to that,

1295
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 1: we're getting there were business, we're going to hand. Yes,

1296
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: it would be fine if game one of Round two

1297
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: could be a Chase Center and the Grizzlies could just

1298
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 1: not be there like that would be fine. Also shout

1299
01:26:55,720 --> 01:27:00,360
Speaker 1: out to Matt McClung, who's score twenty to day for

1300
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 1: the seventy sixers. Why's that that one so much? I

1301
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: like that because he was obviously the Dunk Contest winner,

1302
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys were saying, whim, he's in

1303
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 1: the G League and you know you shouldn't even be

1304
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:19,759
Speaker 1: in the Dunk Contest. But he's playing for the seventy

1305
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:23,680
Speaker 1: sixers and he had a twenty piece today with a

1306
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 1: plus a plus twenty nine plus minus of twenty nine,

1307
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: almost had trouble doubles. Kid can play man. He can

1308
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 1: play nine boards and nine as he can play. So

1309
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:39,440
Speaker 1: back to you trying to make me, uh curse my team,

1310
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. How about a fist to toe

1311
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 1: you this way? I would like something more definitive about

1312
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: Lakers than I think they can beat anybody in the West.

1313
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 1: I think they'll win me I think they'll win Tuesday

1314
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: against Yes, against Minnesota, no matter who plays. We know Jaalen,

1315
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Jaden is not gonna play, whether Rudy plays

1316
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: or not. I think they win that and I think

1317
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: I think they match up well with the Memphis Grifflies.

1318
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: I think, um them being able to stretch the defense

1319
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 1: and not give up in those wide open threes and

1320
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: all their big shoot threes without Steven Adams in the game,

1321
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 1: all their big shoot threes, that's just what they do.

1322
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: And so when they're on, they're hitting, and they're dangerous,

1323
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 1: so you gotta, you know, make sure you don't allow

1324
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: them to get open. Of course, jabs of tremendous talent,

1325
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: and Bain is one of the top three point shooters

1326
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 1: in the league period, hands down. Um, but they have

1327
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:48,519
Speaker 1: they have a tremendous team. I think it'll be a

1328
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 1: good series. I think the Lakers win that series in

1329
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: six and then go on to be Golden State and

1330
01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 1: in six as well. You know, if they get swept

1331
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 1: by Denver, is that your prediction? No, no, no, no, no.

1332
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: Here's one thing. Here's an observation I do have, and

1333
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: actually I haven't even looked it up yet. I will

1334
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: in a moment. The way that they numbers landed in

1335
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 1: the Western Conference, it does feel like one side of

1336
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 1: the bracket is just kind of this like sleepy little process.

1337
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 1: Denver is gonna get either Minnesota or New Orleans in

1338
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: the first round, right, I think they'll probably do their thing.

1339
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:43,599
Speaker 1: Whatever Phoenix gets this super odd and unimpressive Clippers team.

1340
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: But we're still even trying to get to know who

1341
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns are, the KD version of them. We

1342
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 1: haven't seen very much of them. So does a Sun's

1343
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 1: Nugget series happen? And if it does, even that feels

1344
01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 1: like it lacks an identity. It does. It's like, but yeah,

1345
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 1: look at the other side of the bracket. Look at that,

1346
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: Look at that. If the Lakers do win on Tuesday Night,

1347
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me Memphis and the Los Angeles Lakers,

1348
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 1: and then the Kings versus the Warriors. It is, as

1349
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 1: I said earlier, the two most classic changing of the

1350
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: guard series you could possibly have, with championship rings all over,

1351
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,599
Speaker 1: the Warriors and Lakers as the road teams going up

1352
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:38,759
Speaker 1: against the two youngest, maybe most brash teams in the NBA,

1353
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 1: both of whom think that their time to arrive is now.

1354
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: And it sounds to me like everybody, almost everybody is

1355
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: predicting Lakers and Warriors to play one another in Round two,

1356
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of people think the winner of that

1357
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:03,240
Speaker 1: series gonna go ahead and show up in the NBA Finals. Uh,

1358
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,439
Speaker 1: what have you ever seen that before? The six of

1359
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: the seventh seed everybody's favorite. Yeah, that's that's crazy, right,

1360
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: but that might be. You know that is those are

1361
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 1: the two teams that scare you in the West. That's

1362
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the hands down. A healthy Lakers team and a motivated

1363
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 1: Golden State team. Those are the two prestigious teams. You

1364
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:37,120
Speaker 1: got the upstart Kings, you got to let down Nuggets,

1365
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:43,520
Speaker 1: you got the question marks Sons, you got the volatile Grizzlies,

1366
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:53,840
Speaker 1: so and all of that. There is experience and calmness

1367
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:57,360
Speaker 1: with the Lakers and the Warriors that we know about. Yep.

1368
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you got your men hold a punch. They

1369
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 1: had big punch and he did. The Clippers had a

1370
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 1: fight on the bench, Like it's when you're supposed to

1371
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 1: be locked in. This is the moment you had all

1372
01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,640
Speaker 1: your load management and your rest and all of that.

1373
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 1: This is when you're supposed to be locked in and

1374
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,719
Speaker 1: we're having ruhahas on the bench and in a couple

1375
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 1: of these games, Um, do you know who the Western

1376
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: Conference favorite is right now? It's probably what the Lakers? No, well, no, no,

1377
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 1: it is, Yes, this is the Phoenix side. And the

1378
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:40,599
Speaker 1: second favorite is the Golden State Warriors. The second favorite

1379
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Nuggets are third, and the Lakers are fourth. What's fascinating

1380
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,719
Speaker 1: about that is, as we sit here today, the Lakers

1381
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:53,639
Speaker 1: are not even a confirmed playoff team. They are not

1382
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: even a confirmed playoff team. Yet their odds dwarf that

1383
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 1: of the Memphis Grizzlies and the Sacramento Kings, the two

1384
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 1: and the three seed. Hey, man a man, and look,

1385
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 1: hey this is this. Look when it comes to the playoffs,

1386
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 1: people believe in those who've shown excellent, Yes, because experiences everything.

1387
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: Experience means a lot when you start getting into these

1388
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 1: elimination tournaments, right, you got to be able to ride

1389
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:42,120
Speaker 1: the waves of a letdown game and bounce back like

1390
01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:49,640
Speaker 1: all of those things matter. And so when you have

1391
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 1: a team that survived that and has a history of

1392
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 1: that and and played at a high level and one

1393
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 1: championships and they have the pieces to win, then yeah,

1394
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:02,759
Speaker 1: you lean on those teams. The Lakers have the pieces

1395
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: to win their new additions. I mean, I believe they

1396
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: have the best record since the trade deadline. But there's

1397
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 1: those new additions helped the Lakers become a playoff contending team.

1398
01:34:17,040 --> 01:34:19,439
Speaker 1: Rob Polinka Jenny Buzz did what they needed to do

1399
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: to change the trajectory of the Lakers this season. Yeah,

1400
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: they definitely have the best deadline in the NBA. I'm

1401
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna argue that one at all. Um,

1402
01:34:31,320 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: every piece they brought in, yep works, and then they

1403
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:39,800
Speaker 1: just added Tristan Thompson. Um, they do look like a

1404
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 1: team now. It's always been in the Lebron era. To me,

1405
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: it has mostly looked like a collection of players, and

1406
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 1: now they look like a team. I'll say that for sure. Um.

1407
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:56,439

1415
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 1: is playing tournament work? Yes or no? What do you think? Sorry,

1416

1418
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:44,839
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man. I'm sometimes glad you're still dancing. Sometimes

1419
01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 1: you still dancing. Hey, don't we all playing tournament doing

1420
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: its job or not? It is? It adds a bit

1421
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:59,080
Speaker 1: of excitement towards the end of the year. Think about

1422
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: the posturing in the in the placement and the things

1423
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 1: that teams had to do towards the end of not

1424
01:36:07,880 --> 01:36:10,680
Speaker 1: so much in the Eastern Conference, but really in the

1425
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:16,840
Speaker 1: Western Conference, where with two games left, the fifth through

1426
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 1: tenth seed was up for grabs. I mean that's great,

1427
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 1: that's great, that's great. I like that. I like the

1428
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 1: added push coming into into the playoffs instead of the

1429
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, most teams being the Dallas Mavericks. Ye, right, la,

1430
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Though, Like, Okay, the Eastern Conference

1431
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: had none of this this. No, no, the Eastern Conferences,

1432
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 1: like everybody knew what they were. Everybody knew what they

1433
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: were two weeks ago. And so let's just be that

1434
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 1: and ride this thing out. The Western Conference ended up

1435
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:02,680
Speaker 1: with games that really mattered, because, as you said, the

1436
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 1: difference between five through even eleven was simply a matter

1437
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:10,679
Speaker 1: of two or three games. So there were games such

1438
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:15,719
Speaker 1: as the New Orleans Minnesota game today that were really cool.

1439
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: It's like, look, the winner of this is going to

1440
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:19,920
Speaker 1: be the eight seed, the loser is going to be

1441
01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:23,679
Speaker 1: the nine. This really really affects both of them directly

1442
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:27,599
Speaker 1: against one another. They could end up, in fact, likely

1443
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:34,240
Speaker 1: playing each other in the do or die game at

1444
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, the second set of playing games after the first.

1445
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: If the Lakers eliminate Minnesota and then New Orleans eliminates

1446
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City, it's gonna be New Orleans and Minnesota for

1447
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 1: the last spot. I think that's the way it's going

1448
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 1: to play out. So that was really cool. And New

1449
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,720
Speaker 1: Orleans situation in this where they could you know, they've

1450
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 1: ended up being nine, they could have been all the

1451
01:37:54,760 --> 01:38:00,679
Speaker 1: way up into five or six earlier today. So that

1452
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:05,679
Speaker 1: was awesome, But that was still too fleeting for my taste.

1453
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: There still ended up being a ton of manipulation of

1454
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 1: the draft and of the standings, and too often the

1455
01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:19,320
Speaker 1: teams that needed these games were going up against teams

1456
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 1: either below them or above them, who just handed it

1457
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:29,759
Speaker 1: to them. Just I mean, the Nuggets haven't tried in weeks.

1458
01:38:32,160 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 1: What could have should have been a really interesting preview

1459
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:44,120
Speaker 1: and showdown Kings Warriors Friday night, Kings sat their best

1460
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:54,640
Speaker 1: three players. Warrior's cruised to win. So it's helped, but

1461
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 1: we're not there yet. No, But I like it though,

1462
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: I really do. I think that's doing his job. I

1463
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:04,560
Speaker 1: think it's doing his job. I think it's adding excitement

1464
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:11,759
Speaker 1: to the end of the year where there was none prior.

1465
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:18,760
Speaker 1: And then I think that's important. Sure, I'll agree with that.

1466
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I liked that I hadn't

1467
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 1: even thought of. I kind of dig if you get

1468
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,760
Speaker 1: a top six seed, go take a break. You get

1469
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:29,360
Speaker 1: you get a week off, Yeah, go take a break.

1470
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 1: And it's odd that I like that. It's odd that

1471
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 1: you like that because we've been sitting here screaming about

1472
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,640
Speaker 1: everybody taking too many breaks all year. Well, no, this

1473
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: is the second season, now, yep, yep, this is a

1474
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 1: second season. You've earned the right to rest heading into

1475
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 1: the second season. That's what it is. You think about

1476
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 1: how many teams that that really really helps right now

1477
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 1: with regard to being that that that top six seed

1478
01:39:58,080 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 1: and now taking a break, whether it be Kevin Durant

1479
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 1: still acclimating himself, whether it be I know, you know,

1480
01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:09,799
Speaker 1: Nicola Jokics and John Murant have dealt with things down

1481
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Hell, the Warriors trying to get Andrew

1482
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:17,639
Speaker 1: Wiggins up to speed. Thank goodness, they've got that week.

1483
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,639
Speaker 1: I mean, if the Warriors had lost today and they're

1484
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 1: planning on Tuesday, is Andrew in right? You know? Yeah?

1485
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:33,160
Speaker 1: Because Zion's now Yeah, no, noll Zions never in. When

1486
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 1: is he gonna way? Basketball? Man? I can't I can't

1487
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 1: even believe that is it makes zero sense. I don't know, man,

1488
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:54,679
Speaker 1: I don't know. Where's he at two hundred and something million.

1489
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,439
Speaker 1: And if you go people won't remember this. You go

1490
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 1: back to the first half of the season when he

1491
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 1: was playing Pelicans were messing around as like a two

1492
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: or three seed. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, they they were.

1493
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: They were with him, yes, yeah, they were. It's like

1494
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:26,639
Speaker 1: he's going into some sort of kind of Kawhi Leonard

1495
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 1: mode where he just like for two years, You're just like, nah,

1496
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, they're gonna play a couple of games.

1497
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 1: It's about it. Yeah, it's it's crazy, man. I mean

1498
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 1: it's hard when you got that much money you haven't

1499
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 1: even done anything. You know, it's all guaranteed. Yeah, it's

1500
01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:54,639
Speaker 1: all good. Yeah, it's all good. It's all it's all good.

1501
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: It's just the NBA count. He had a hundred million

1502
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 1: Nike I know three what I mean, He's all set.

1503
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: He's all set, except for one NBA star who I

1504
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:11,680
Speaker 1: do think over the last month and a half, I

1505

Speaker 1: and two outs in the bottom of the tenth down

01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:05,920
Speaker 1: twelve eleven and grounded out to end the game. Back

1576
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:10,200
Speaker 1: to you, very very good, Steve. I'm just sitting here

1577
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:13,160
Speaker 1: thinking about this as Steve's going through some of the

1578
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 1: specific players in the NBA where things have ended up

1579
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:21,959
Speaker 1: check this out. I was also reading about Kyrie Irving's

1580
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:27,400
Speaker 1: contract and he's an unrestricted free agent, and do you

1581
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 1: know what he did after the game today? Nothing? He

1582
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: did not do an exit interview. Now, he stated just

1583
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 1: a couple of days after being acquired by Dallas he

1584
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:45,920
Speaker 1: was not going to discuss his upcoming free agency until

1585
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Well, here we are and

1586
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 1: he's still not discussing anything. And Kyrie Irving, for me,

1587
01:46:54,560 --> 01:46:59,719
Speaker 1: has arrived at a spot that Rudy Gobert maybe has arrived,

1588
01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 1: as has Russell Westbrook. Have you noticed the trail of

1589
01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 1: how everything gets better for whoever they leave? Have you

1590
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 1: noticed this look at Russell Westbrook? What happened to Kevin Durant?

1591
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:21,680
Speaker 1: When he left Russell Westbrook. Look what's happened to the

1592
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: Lakers when they left Russell Westbrook. Look what's happened to

1593
01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell when he left Rudy Gobert. Look at what

1594
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:38,520
Speaker 1: happens to the places that leave Kyrie Irving Boston Celtics

1595
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:46,360
Speaker 1: NBA Finals, Brooklyn Nets surprisingly still a winning team even

1596
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 1: without both of their best players. Now he arrives in Dallas,

1597
01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 1: helps conduct what I've already called the most embarrassing finish

1598
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:58,680
Speaker 1: to an NBA season that I've ever seen, and he

1599
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 1: heads into free agency. In my opinion, with that reputation,

1600
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 1: you are, as an NBA franchise better off without him. Yeah,

1601
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:20,559
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think, um, sometimes talent can

1602
01:48:20,640 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 1: be overshadowed by chemistry. Westbrooke is talented, but there was

1603
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 1: no chemistry with the Lakers, just wasn't And that's why

1604
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,080
Speaker 1: he's been on what five teams in five years or

1605
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:46,639
Speaker 1: whatever it's been. Yeah, for Kyrie, no one arguing his talent,

1606
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:55,840
Speaker 1: No one's arguing that. But the chemistry, the fit, the

1607
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: lack of all of that that matters. And sometimes teams

1608
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 1: get blinded by the talent and then they have to

1609
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 1: learn the hard ways and realize, oh, oh we made

1610
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 1: a mistake. Oh this isn't what we signed up for.

1611
01:49:14,479 --> 01:49:16,760
Speaker 1: But it is. That's exactly what you signed up for.

1612
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:21,840
Speaker 1: Because the information's out there, all that of stuff they

1613
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: gave up for Rudy Gobert, he may not even be

1614
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 1: available for their playing game. Yep, good job, Yep, here

1615
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:39,320
Speaker 1: it comes. I mean, the Utah Jazz have been tanking

1616
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:44,200
Speaker 1: for a little while, but you watch where this ends up,

1617
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 1: and you give it a couple of years because when

1618
01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 1: you're a smaller market team, this is really the only

1619
01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 1: way to do it. In the NBA, the big time

1620
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 1: free agents are never going to head to Utah, Oklahoma City.

1621
01:49:56,920 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 1: Watch what's about to happen in Oklahoma City, right You

1622
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:03,599
Speaker 1: look at some of those young players they battled into

1623
01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 1: the back of the play in Who knows what's going

1624
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:08,120
Speaker 1: to happen this week with that team. Holmgren, who they

1625
01:50:08,200 --> 01:50:10,040
Speaker 1: barely got, you know, they didn't get up to see him.

1626
01:50:10,080 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: This year, he's going to join that team and they

1627
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 1: have seven hundred of the next seven hundred two first

1628
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:19,040
Speaker 1: round drafts to be made. I mean, it is unreal,

1629
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:23,080
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a problem.

1630
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel like we've reached a point

1631
01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA where there are a couple of examples

1632
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 1: of the opposite of conventional thinking. The conventional thought is

1633
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:43,759
Speaker 1: whoever gets the star one well, gosh, not in those cases.

1634
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 1: Not in those cases. Oklahoma City moving on from all

1635
01:50:49,040 --> 01:50:51,639
Speaker 1: of the you know, big names that they've had there,

1636
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,639
Speaker 1: Like sure they didn't want to lose Durant, he left

1637
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:59,280
Speaker 1: as a free agent. After that, they have gone into

1638
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:03,320
Speaker 1: a length the lengthy rebuild. And that's kind of a

1639
01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 1: cuss word for a lot of fans, but when you're

1640
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 1: in Middle America, I think it's the only way to

1641
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 1: do it in the NBA, and you're starting to see

1642
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 1: a lot of teams land the star and end up

1643
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: up a creek because of it. Dallas Mavericks are the

1644
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:26,240
Speaker 1: latest example. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's um, you know, building

1645
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:28,639
Speaker 1: it out this team chemistry. Like you can have a star,

1646
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:30,479
Speaker 1: but you got to build around the star. And when

1647
01:51:30,479 --> 01:51:33,679
Speaker 1: you start trying to make, you know, fit multiple stars

1648
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 1: together and get these names together and build something in

1649
01:51:38,960 --> 01:51:42,760
Speaker 1: order to get that, you give up so much. You

1650
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 1: give up so much. Brooklyn got rid of all three

1651
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:49,840
Speaker 1: of those dudes. And they're a better team for it.

1652
01:51:52,600 --> 01:52:00,840
Speaker 1: Think about that. No Ben Simmons, no Kyrie Noh, Kevin

1653
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 1: durin their playoff team. You know, coaching matters, yep, chemistry matters.

1654
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 1: And maybe they're the ones who learned the lesson, you know,

1655
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,519
Speaker 1: with with with Ben Simmons being on that team now

1656
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:23,280
Speaker 1: and they were the ones who landed the star and went,

1657
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 1: oh well that just didn't do anything. And I know

1658
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:28,439
Speaker 1: the hardened like that was a star for star kind

1659
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 1: of a thing. But yeah, the Brooklyn Nets, I guarantee

1660
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 1: our watch at the Dallas Mavericks right now and chuckling, Yeah,

1661
01:52:37,479 --> 01:52:41,680
Speaker 1: they are sure. Yeah, I have a good time with that.

1662
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 1: Um Okay. Mark Widy from Salam I've been waiting to

1663
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: get to this question. The Odell Beckham news means what

1664
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:52,560
Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson. We're gonna get into that next on

1665
01:52:52,680 --> 01:52:55,840
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, perhaps put on the Way and then

1666
01:52:57,320 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 1: and another Spanish Superstar where a green jacket John Ram

1667
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 1: becomes the fourth Spaniard to winning a gust up. He's

1668
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: won the twenty twenty three Masters tournament. John Ram is

1669
01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:18,400
Speaker 1: the winner courtesy of Sirious xm in. That was the

01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:40,400
Speaker 1: the Tirak dot com studios. Okay, we haven't gotten to

1676
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 1: any NFL today. Odell Beckham one year to the Baltimore Ravens.

1677
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 1: What does that say in your opinion about the Lamar

1678
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: Jackson situation. I think that more likely than not, O'Dell,

1679
01:53:54,400 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean Lamoire, I'll be playing for Baltimore, I really do.

1680
01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:09,639
Speaker 1: I think, um, this is a piece that they desperately needed,

1681
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:16,559
Speaker 1: that Lamar needed, and you know, depending on what ob

1682
01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:20,400
Speaker 1: J can give you, it gives him a viable option,

1683
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 1: a threat down the field. So I guess they're looking

1684
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:33,200
Speaker 1: at it like if no one does offer Odell, I

1685
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:39,440
Speaker 1: think anything anything they offer Lamar, I believe they're willing

1686
01:54:39,520 --> 01:54:45,320
Speaker 1: to to to match it. Okay, I mean you mentioned

1687
01:54:45,360 --> 01:54:47,600
Speaker 1: that this is something Lamar needs. I think about it

1688
01:54:47,720 --> 01:54:52,120
Speaker 1: the other way too. Lamar is someone who Odell needs.

1689
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, think about how right like think. Think how selective,

1690
01:54:57,240 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 1: almost to a laughable stance, Odell has been in the

1691
01:55:02,600 --> 01:55:06,720
Speaker 1: last handful of months with every conversation we've had about him. Right,

1692
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:08,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't want to I don't want to

1693
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 1: playing in the regular season. I just want to show

1694
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:14,640
Speaker 1: up for the playoffs. It's like, my god, how expectant

1695
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:17,720
Speaker 1: are you in this situation? That turned a lot of

1696
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:21,360
Speaker 1: people off. But think about what that means. Odell is

1697
01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:25,160
Speaker 1: someone who right now, at this point in his career

1698
01:55:25,600 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 1: and everything that's going on health wise and beyond, he

1699
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:32,680
Speaker 1: cannot afford to show up somewhere and put up a

1700
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,800
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty yard season. He can't do that

1701
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:38,640
Speaker 1: or else it's a rap. It's a rap in terms

1702
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 1: of being considered a big time receiver. So is he

1703
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:45,400
Speaker 1: going to go somewhere where Tyler Huntley or some rookie

1704
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 1: is going to be the starting quarterback. I just always know,

1705
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 1: as you do e from like, whatever's going on behind

1706
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: the scenes, it's about a month ahead of what we

1707
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:58,800
Speaker 1: actually know. And so Odell knows what's going on with

1708
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation. And there's even reports out there that

1709
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 1: Odell and Lamar we're talking about teaming up with the

1710
01:56:05,480 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 1: Ravens before this deal happened. It's just like it's no

1711
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 1: different than Alan Lazard going to the Jets. He knows

1712
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 1: damn well who his quarterback's gonna be. Yeah, yeah, it's

1713
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 1: it's it's so much unseen. We only get a piece

1714
01:56:18,360 --> 01:56:20,800
Speaker 1: of a fraction of the information. I know that because

1715
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 1: I've been on the inside. So you know, these things

1716
01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 1: just don't pop up and like, oh man, wow, that's weird.

1717
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:30,680
Speaker 1: I how did that? No no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no,

1718
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:34,560
Speaker 1: no that. It doesn't work like that. You know, Odell

1719
01:56:34,600 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 1: showed up at the owners meetings and all of this

1720
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:42,440
Speaker 1: is was at the combine. He's doing exactly what he's

1721
01:56:42,440 --> 01:56:44,840
Speaker 1: supposed to do. It's a pretty good deal. I think

1722
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 1: it's upwards a kid be worth eighteen million, which is

1723
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: pretty much on the line of eighteen I mean, what

1724
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:57,960
Speaker 1: do you say twenty That's what the rumor was. It's

1725
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:02,920
Speaker 1: amazing how that number comes so close, right, But this

1726
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:06,960
Speaker 1: is this. You know, nothing happens by happenstance or by

1727
01:57:07,080 --> 01:57:11,280
Speaker 1: accident when it comes to these deals. And it won't

1728
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:13,760
Speaker 1: be like that for Odell as well, I mean for

1729
01:57:14,200 --> 01:57:18,839
Speaker 1: Lamar as well, for Lamar, sure, I mean out of options?

1730
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,520
Speaker 1: Are other teams calling? Is it, like you said, the

1731
01:57:21,640 --> 01:57:25,480
Speaker 1: Ravens as well actually match whatever is going on? Is

1732
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:29,360
Speaker 1: this going to end up being a franchise tag play?

1733
01:57:30,040 --> 01:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Maybe the draft hasn't even happened yet. Deadlines spur action

1734
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:41,280
Speaker 1: and those situations. The Jets the Ravens have not reached

1735
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:43,760
Speaker 1: any deadlines yet. That's the only reason I think we

1736
01:57:43,960 --> 01:57:47,840
Speaker 1: haven't heard. Yeah, I mean time is on their side,

1737
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:52,000
Speaker 1: so why rush the players are in play? You know

1738
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:54,320
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. We know that, you know Aaron

1739
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 1: is most likely gonna be a Jet. I believe anybody

1740
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 1: offering any thing to the Baltimore Ravens, I believe that

1741
01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:08,840
Speaker 1: they will match it, which makes Lamar a Raven. So

1742
01:58:09,200 --> 01:58:14,480
Speaker 1: they're working on the pieces to go with those. I

1743
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:19,240
Speaker 1: do wonder if there are going to be any Draft

1744
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 1: Day surprises when it comes to quarterback movement. I do

1745
01:58:25,800 --> 01:58:28,040
Speaker 1: wonder about that. I don't think Aaron Rodgers will be

1746
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:31,280
Speaker 1: one of them. I doubt that Lamar Jackson would be

1747
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:34,080
Speaker 1: one of them. But there are a number out there

1748
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:37,480
Speaker 1: where you just sort of wonder, like, what are the

1749
01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 1: Titans doing? What are the forty nine ers doing with

1750
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. There a couple of situations out there where

1751
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 1: you're just in the back of your mind. I'm like,

1752
01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit ready for something to happen. Potentially

1753
01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:54,960
Speaker 1: probably not, but maybe yeah. You never know. Man, it's

1754
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:58,240
Speaker 1: so many movement parts. All the owners know each other,

1755
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:01,640
Speaker 1: like it's you can he calls, might have a real conversation,

1756
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:07,680
Speaker 1: not an agent. You can call the other owner and

1757
01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:14,000
Speaker 1: have a conversation, right, So you're not calling it an

1758
01:59:14,040 --> 01:59:19,160
Speaker 1: agent in the Lamar situation, No you're not, you know,

1759
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:22,520
Speaker 1: because there isn't there called his mom, but I don't know.

1760
01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to life, buddy, great show. Broad you're here,

1761
01:59:28,680 --> 01:59:32,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely you too. There It is forty from Salama, Mark Willard.

1762
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: Uh Fix Sports Radio continues coming up.
