1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: Let's go stinking Yes go big Boys. Right after it

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: got a big show and I got to count of

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: two guests. Wow. Mark Medean is going to join us

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: in about fifteen minutes now to put a rap on

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: the thunder Wind that Martin Wise just told you about

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: and about my OCMA City sooners. Let's go, there you go,

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: And then Todd Furman will join us coming up next

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: hour to talk about what Aaron Rodgers signing with the

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Steelers means from a under win lost total, if there

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: is anything he sees that could change the face of

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Finals. Todd's been all over that little

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: NASCAR talk and obviously NBA Finals and uh, we're even

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: now at a game of piece are and he won

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: twenty three one oh seven the thunder I found this

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: to be a weird stat. ESPN was all over and

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: the ABC broadcast was too. Five players with fifteen or

18
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: more points in a finals game for the first time

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: since the twenty nineteen Raptors did it. And it lighty

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: in my mind. I'm like, okay, balance scoring that that's good,

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: but it just seemed odd that in the last what

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: is that like seven final six finals that we haven't

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: had at least five guys have fifteen or more points

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: in a game for one team, So kudos in that front.

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: And I don't know what they gave Aaron Wiggins before

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: the game started, but oh he was awesome. And Alex Caruso,

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: even though Caruso is good to make one and then

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: miss one and then make one and then miss one,

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: but he was really good tonight. And the Thunder played

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: a complete game instead of kind of bowing out in

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: the last three minutes.

32
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: Obviously they had to win. I mean, they can't go

33
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: down oh two. They gave one away and they're going

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: to fight back from that. Now now it's a whole

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: different series. One apiece. They gotta take one in Indiana.

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 3: But they played great tonight. You know, once they put

37
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: the foot on Indiana's throat, they finished them off.

38
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean, what did you want them to do.

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: They didn't let the Pacers climb back in this one

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: great second period that just set the pays out there.

41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Payser's never able to get into it back after that.

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it was I got to give credit

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: to someone that took a lot of heat of the

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: last kind of forty eight hours and that is at

45
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: home gren. Now, he had a good game, yeah, from starting.

46
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: You know, he kind of disappeared a little bit midway

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: through the third and the fourth, but again they didn't

48
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: really need him all that much at that point. But

49
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: I'll say this much. You mentioned the second quarter and

50
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: when OKC outscored him thirty three to twenty one and

51
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: kind of went on that late second quarter run that

52
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: really pulled things away. It was all chet Holmgren. I mean,

53
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: it's like he came to life for OKC. Had what

54
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: nine points during that stretch.

55
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 3: Along too that should have been a three. Then he

56
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: had a two pointer, he had the dunk, he was

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: on he was on fire good.

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he was confident, he was hitting his shots,

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: so he did.

60
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: You're right about that about disappearing, But in that little

61
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: bit of a stretch he was fantastic.

62
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: No, no, no. And when I when I say disappearing, like

63
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: I said, it's very it's a very minimal complaint right now,

64
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: because I guess I gotta be honest with you and

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: I talked about this on the Friday Night Show a

66
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: little bit, Arnie, and it's it's kind of a tough

67
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: admission to make, but I have completely undersold Indiana through

68
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: this whole thing. I just I expected, okay see to

69
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: roll in both games kind of like they did in

70
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: Game two tonight. I expected them to do that in

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: Game one. I didn't. You know, I've seen Pacers basketball.

72
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: I've watched a lot of them, but I don't think

73
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: I've given the respect they need for their bench and

74
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: for their depth, and for what Miles Turner can bring

75
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: to them. Arnie he is, He's a game changer inside.

76
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: And you know, okay See to counter that went with

77
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: two bigs, and they've done that quite a bit throughout

78
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: the season with Artenstein and Chad Holmgren. But I mean,

79
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: I didn't even feel comfortable late whenever they finally kind

80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: of tapped out with what about three and a half

81
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: minutes to go, But I kept thinking, you know, Halibert

82
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: hit a three and I was like, oh, geez, here

83
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: we go. But that's just a really good basketball team, man,

84
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: And I think they're I think they're showing it in

85
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: not only taking Game one, but putting themselves in a

86
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: position now to where this is the best of five

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: series and you have home court advantage.

88
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I don't want to be the grammar police.

89
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: Could I just correct your grammar for just go ahead?

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: When you said this is a very good basketball team,

91
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: I think what you're meant to say was this was.

92
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: A very good bad So this loss tonight ended it.

93
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: No, Well, when they lose Miles Turner right in the

94
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: off season, which it certainly looks like they're going through.

95
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: Well, well, hold on, why do you care about the

96
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: off season? We're talking about Game three coming. I'm just

97
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: saying because you're saying, well, I need to give a

98
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: little more respect maybe for the rest of the series. Yes,

99
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: that's what I'm talking about.

100
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 4: It.

101
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Once they lose Miles Turner, it's gonna be all downhill

102
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: for the Pacers. Why you got him going to season? Yeah,

103
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: you broke. I'm sorry that I got to go and

104
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: where I'm sorry the Knicks again this off season?

105
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: Oh?

106
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: No, actually was I can't remember off the top of

107
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: my head. I had this story about where he was

108
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: going to go. I'll have to find it for your mind.

109
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: I didn't. Well, they keep talking about the Lakers being

110
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: a possibility for him. I didn't have that one either.

111
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: I can't. Jeez, I'm gonna pull it up Pistons have

112
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: been mentioned as well. De Troit was it? That? Was

113
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: it Detroit? But they keep saying that they're going to

114
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: offer him the max contract, the pace. The Pistons are

115
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: going to offer him what he feels like he's worth,

116
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: and he could five years. Now it's not not max contract,

117
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: I should say, but for the value five years, one

118
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million dollars. I mean, that's a pretty

119
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 2: good deal.

120
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: That good deal, actually, I think so, I didn't know

121
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: what the problem was.

122
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: That is a pretty good deal. So, and maybe are

123
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: you falling for NBA Central again? Is that you know

124
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: the one that told you about the thirty dollars fines

125
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: in the WNBA that you fell for? Did I fall

126
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: for that? I didn't know that. No, Yeah, that was fake.

127
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: But the Pistons and the Lakers are being talked about

128
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: his miles. I don't think he's going anywhere though, Arnie,

129
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: in the case of this series and of this game.

130
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta I gotta tell you something, man,

131
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: He's I'm a Lakers fan, right, I'm a Lakers fan.

132
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: I'm a thunder Bandwagon guy. I want him in LA.

133
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I would want him if I

134
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: was in New York. I would want him in Detroit

135
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: because he can be the missing piece for a team

136
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: that needs a big right, He's something special. I had

137
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: no idea. I have not given him the credit he deserves.

138
00:05:59,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: No.

139
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, this comes after they lost tonight, so obviously he

140
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: didn't have his best night. He did put he did

141
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: put your boy Hartenstein on a poster at one point

142
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: midweight quarter. But holy smokes, I don't think the Pacers

143
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: are out of it. I think this is what the

144
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: thunder are more capable of. And Arnie, I don't know

145
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: if this is maybe a homeeristic take or not, but

146
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: I don't think we've seen the best of both teams yet.

147
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: And I sure as heck don't think we've seen anywhere

148
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: near the best of what Indiana can be at any

149
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: point of the series, outside of what maybe the final

150
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: six minutes of the fourth quarter in Game one. No,

151
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna come down.

152
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 3: I thought it was gonna be like a five game

153
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: gentleman sweep. It still it could be, but it certainly

154
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: looks like it could go six or even seven with

155
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: the way these teams, you know, play on the road.

156
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: And we'll see if we'll see if they're able to

157
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: steal what on the road and get this thing back

158
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: up at two two as they go back to Okse

159
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: And and by the way, that's a public service announcement

160
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: for the three people that are actually watching the NBA final?

161
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: Is that what the ratings were, Chris? I, so you

162
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: think we shouldn't talk about it the rest of no

163
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: I did. I didn't say that.

164
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: We have.

165
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: We try to do everything for all our listeners, that's right.

166
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: So the three listeners that will actually watch the game,

167
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: I don't mind talking for them, I don't.

168
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: I'll just say I have no offense for it. You

169
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: can doge it all you want. But I watched, you

170
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: watched it, you watched it tonight. Why are you getting

171
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: you watched it in the studio? The rating four point

172
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: seven rating, eight point nine million, viewers were eleven million,

173
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: same as last year.

174
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: Or since nineteen eighty eight, and they've been keeping meals

175
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: except for the pandemic games, So forget about Is it

176
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: strictly because of the market or and I wrote this down,

177
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: is it because of the market or no intrigue or

178
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 3: no great storylines or no villain.

179
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: Or combination of everything? I know?

180
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: You tell me what's the biggest factor for people not

181
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: tuning in?

182
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Don't know, dumb, you don't like, you're an idiot. I mean,

183
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: it's just if you don't like the NBA. I get

184
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: it right. You don't like the NBA and you don't

185
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: want to watch it. That's captain obvious stuff. If you're

186
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: not watching it because it's Oklahoma City and Indiana, then

187
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: you're a moron. Well, you don't appreciate good basketball, you're

188
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: a cas Well that's fine.

189
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: If it was like the Lakers and the Knicks instead

190
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: of eight point whatever million, I bet you'd be about

191
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: fifteen million. I mean, I think you get almost double

192
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: the viewership on maybe like that.

193
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Maybe so, But I like, I've told you this all along.

194
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: I got no defense for you. I don't know what

195
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: to say except that it doesn't make a lot of

196
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: sense to me. I think. Also, no storylines, no villains. Okay,

197
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 2: when you say no storylines or villains, what this is

198
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: one of the most successful regular season teams ever in

199
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: the history of the NBA. I mean, they've got they've

200
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: got the MVP, Yarnie, they've got the MVP, right, they

201
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: got Chet Holmgren. It was just I guess weird to

202
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: look at got like an Eric the actor kind of

203
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: vibe to him, right, And then you add to it,

204
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Indiana has been the absolute Houdini of these entire playoffs, right, So,

205
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean even their dad got in trouble. Haliburton's dad

206
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: got in trouble for running out on the court. So

207
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean by don't have a villain,

208
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: don't have storylines, because I think this thing is littered

209
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: with villains and storylines. I you know, I And you

210
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: make a good point on that.

211
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 3: I'm talking more about just like the you know how

212
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: like Lebrons hated or you know, just that guy that

213
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: you know, they even Brunson is more.

214
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: Of a villain than anybody you will see in this series.

215
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean, they just hate that guy from across the NBA.

216
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: I'm talking about villains like that man. And you're right

217
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: about that. There's I mean, you know Haliburton's dad, but

218
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: that thing's kind of long and forgotten, and they're he's

219
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: back at the games now, you know.

220
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess I don't understand what more people

221
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: would want. If you want to say, hey, I just

222
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: not into the NBA, that's fine. I mean I've got.

223
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 2: I worked this week with a buddy of mine that's

224
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: a very talented producer. I'm like, hey, you want to

225
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: try to go to one of the NBA games. He's like, no,

226
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: I have no care for the NBA. I'm sure there's

227
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: that faction, right, I'm sure there's that faction, But I

228
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: think there's an even larger faction that is very casual

229
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: with the NBA Arntie, and they haven't watched it as

230
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: closely as maybe it's been watched. Maybe they need to

231
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: have the familiar face of Lebron like you said, or

232
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: Steph Curry or I don't know. I mean, it's not

233
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: like they were doing record ratings last year whenever the

234
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: Celtics went and won it.

235
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: The NFL combine watching people run around on their underwear

236
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: draws better ratings.

237
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: The end well the draft, but Combine did not drop

238
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: better ratings. Doesn't draft the drafted. The draft was right

239
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: up there with it, but they put it on three networks,

240
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: so they had to combine them all. I just I

241
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: don't get it. I don't have an answer for you.

242
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: I won't have an answer for you except to say

243
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: it just doesn't make a lot of sense. To me

244
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: because I think this is I think there's been a

245
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: fun series already through two games. I think it's just

246
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: going to get better. You.

247
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 3: Does it personally bother you or know that?

248
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 4: No?

249
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: Because personally bothers me? Is your disrespect? Whenever you say, oh,

250
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: is it the Oklahoma City Sooners? That I think that's

251
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: BS for a national radio show. Guy, No, I do.

252
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: I think it's trash that you would come on and

253
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: say that they're the thunder if anything, they or they

254
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: did what your knicks can't do. You guys are celebrating

255
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: in the streets when you make the Eastern Conference finals,

256
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: and then when you do it, you fire your coach.

257
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: So at least show at least show respect to the

258
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: team that's playing in the finals and knows how to

259
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: act because they've been there more recently than you.

260
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be talking like that. If we were doing

261
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 3: a show live in front of all those nick fans

262
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: out on Seventh, I.

263
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: Would stand in front of all of their faces and

264
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: tell them that they're all soft because they're out celebrating

265
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: a trip to the Eastern Conference finals. Show some respect,

266
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: get out of everybody's way, go get a go to work.

267
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: Don't you have to work the next day? Or maybe

268
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: I think it was a Friday night, maybe that's Saturday off. Yeah,

269
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: what what a great franchise. You finally get a guy

270
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: that takes you to the Eastern Conference finals and your

271
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: party and you're climbing light poles and your fire him.

272
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah that sounds should be But you know what though,

273
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: at first off, by the way you scoffed at when

274
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: we brought it up last week, you scoffed like, no, no, no, no,

275
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fire him. Yeah he gets fired, Like see,

276
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: I told you, well, you.

277
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: Know, a couple of things on that first of all,

278
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: And I'm at first I was upset about it. I'm like,

279
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: come on, man, what are you doing. We've got this,

280
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: we got pretty far. We want to give it another year.

281
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: It just, uh, you know, you know, losing that first

282
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: game really kind of set the total. It was nothing

283
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 3: that Thibodeau did. And then I started hearing all the

284
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 3: stuff and thinking about all the stuff. I guess there

285
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: were a lot of players that just didn't want to

286
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: play for him anymore. And I guess there was a

287
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: lot of players that were upset about all the minutes

288
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: usually you're complaining about the lack of minutes that you're getting,

289
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: But I guess the starters were playing for so many minutes,

290
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: and I don't understand something, Chris. I mean, that was

291
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: always the knock against Thibodeau that he brings the starters

292
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: way too long.

293
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 2: You think he would have adjusted.

294
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: You think he would have said, hey, I got to

295
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: give him a little bit of a break. Sure, there's

296
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: guys that are gonna go eighty two games, the Josh

297
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: Hart's of the world and stuff like that.

298
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 2: He loves it.

299
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: It's, you know, like a picture is an innings eater.

300
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: You know, he's like a minute eater. He's a games

301
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: eater somebody like that. You gotta have people like that.

302
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: But you can't play the same six or seven over

303
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: and over again.

304
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: You had to get a little bit of debty.

305
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: He didn't change his ways, and I guess there was

306
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: a lot of dissension behind his back and a lot

307
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: of the players wanted him gone. So boom, he's gone.

308
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: I don't know who's gonna replace him. None of the

309
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: names really excite me, to be honest with you. Not

310
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: happy about it, but you know what I think about

311
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: NBA coaches Chris right.

312
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: You know you could do it? Yeah, exactly, roll out

313
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 2: the ball.

314
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: I heard, I was, I was, what's his face for

315
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: Indiana of the coach Rick Carlisle, Yeah, yeah.

316
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard him go.

317
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: Listening to him, he goes, we got ten seconds of

318
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 3: this Shoan clock, ten seconds of the John clock, ten

319
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: seconds and that was all he said.

320
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: I could do that.

321
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 3: I can yell we got ten seconds left, but your

322
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: name in the mix. I think I should, man, I

323
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: probably could. All all you do is roll out the

324
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: ball like you think you would have called the play

325
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: with ten seconds left or something like that. Call a play,

326
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: Let's run it this, let's run play number three, let's

327
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 3: do that. Well, we don't have play number three. You

328
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: only taught us two plays, coach, So I don't know.

329
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: Nobody excites me on this New York Dad. I gave

330
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: you a list of about like.

331
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: I got real quick before we grab a break, and

332
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: Mark Medina joins us, Yeah, we go to one, then.

333
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: We can spring up number thirteen on that list.

334
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd, Oh, well, I thought you were going to

335
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: go to Roman numeral thirteen.

336
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm just curious. Is he officially at I

337
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 3: was talking to Bernie about this. I thought that Dallas said, no,

338
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: we're not giving you permission to talk to him. So

339
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: I just said, Okay, well, I guess he's not getting

340
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: the job. Did I misunderstand that or what?

341
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: Chris? I don't think that that they've anything official has

342
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: been made. There was a report through bleacher Report where

343
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: they're expecting it to be denied, but I don't think anything. Yeah,

344
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: Mark Stein, who's a pretty well placed sourced Uh does

345
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: that make sense? Well placed? He said that he's got

346
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: well placed observers that said the MAVs will turn down

347
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: any Knicks request to interview Kid, much like the Rockets

348
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: would deny any request form a dooka right now.

349
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: So you can't get the job if you're not going

350
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: to interview. So they're gonna put the cabach on that.

351
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: That means you can take Jason Kidd out of the

352
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: mixeror no?

353
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: Can they still get it that that's a report. That's

354
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: a report, right and Dallas has that has that right

355
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: right in his contract. So unless they want to start

356
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: talking about I don't know if we want to use

357
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: the term trades or some sort of incentive to you know,

358
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to talk to him. It's like, hey,

359
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: we'll give you our first round pick. I don't know

360
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: in order to be able to hire Jason Kidd. I

361
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: don't know how big a video that would be, but

362
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 2: I do think there would be interest there. I know,

363
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: people like, oh, why, why why You've got Cooper Flag

364
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: coming in and got Anthony Davis, you got Kyrie Irving?

365
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: Do we know how in Jason Kid was on the

366
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: Luca trade? And then add to it, that path in

367
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: the East, aren't you over the next couple of years

368
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: is a lot smoother than that path in the West

369
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: is ever going to be, regardless of who you've got

370
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: on your rosters. So I mean, I get it where

371
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: the Knicks would say no, and where the Rockets would

372
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: say excuse me, the Mavericks would say no. But man,

373
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: that that's gotta be enticing to know that you'd go

374
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: to a place and they're gonna try to bring in

375
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: another superstar and you're in the East with the Celtics

376
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: minus there guy, and you'd feel pretty good of Miles

377
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: Turner leaves Indiana.

378
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: Right, I've always got a bad job. Well, I want

379
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: to see when the rumors will start coming out. Another

380
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: reason that Jason Kidd left. Was they worked out Cooper Flagg?

381
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 3: I guess they had worked out or the well he's

382
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: going to work him out, Yeah, go to work. Didn't

383
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: didn't think he was the best of all the best.

384
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: Didn't think he was worthy of You know that's going

385
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: to come out, right, You know that's going to happen.

386
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm sure it will. But I don't think

387
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: he's a factor. So you got names like Johnny Bryant, which,

388
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: by the way, Brian's the associate head coach of the

389
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: of the of the Calves. And then they have the

390
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: head coach of the Calves on here at plus what

391
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: four hundred in Kenny Atkinson right, and none of the

392
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: Boonholzer is on here, Sam Cassell, None of them get

393
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: me excited. Mark Jackson's interesting, No, No, not really. No.

394
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: When's the last time he coached? Before Steve Kerr coached

395
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: at the Golden State Warriors. I didn't put Kerr on

396
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 2: the list. He said no to us once. I'm not

397
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: gonna let him say no nos to again. We'll talk,

398
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Mark Medeane about now. The big story,

399
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: of course, is Game two of the NBA Finals. But yeah,

400
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: It's interesting. The last game that Mark Jackson was a

401
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: head coach was twenty fourteen and he's on. My goodness,

402
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: oh do you know? Do you know who? The top

403
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: three longest tenured coaches in the NBA are? Spolster's one,

404
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: Steve Curris, Steve Kurr is two. And then there's a

405
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 2: trio of Mark Dagnault with the Thunder, Billy Donovan with

406
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: the Bulls, and Tyron Leo at the Clippers are.

407
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: Theyn I never would have guesst Tyro.

408
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been five years. That's it, all right, we'll

409
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: talk about the NBA Finals, evening up at game at

420
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: game two Tonight series even at one. Mark Medina our

421
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: NBA insider here at Fox Sports Radio Sports, Keena Athlon Sports,

422
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: and of course on Twitter at Mark g Underscore Medina.

423
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if either team has played a complete

424
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: game yet, but pretty close for the thunder tonight, Mark

425
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 2: and whoever had Aaron Wiggins over tonight is feeling pretty

426
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: good about that one. Where did that come from from?

427
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 6: Well, he is a pretty good player, but usually it's

428
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 6: on the defensive end. I mean, same thing with Alex

429
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 6: Caruso is the all glue guy.

430
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 7: You know.

431
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 6: I think that analytics still show that he has the

432
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 6: best plus minus with Lebron James compared to any teammate,

433
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 6: but he's not usually a score. So yeah, a lot

434
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 6: of interesting developments in this game to performance here. It

435
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 6: wasn't just Shay gotis Alexander doing this thing. He had

436
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 6: a lot of help, you know.

437
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 3: And Mark, I'm a Knicks fan and I'm watching the

438
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 3: game today and I'm like, Pascal Siakam, where was that

439
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: guy tonight?

440
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: I go, why didn't you do that against the Knicks?

441
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: Against he scored like one hundred points tonight.

442
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: I forgot he was even in the game for like

443
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: twenty minutes.

444
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 6: You know, well, I think this illustrates a thunder a

445
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 6: much different team than the nixt A Thunder have a

446
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 6: lot more depth, They have a lot more defenders. So

447
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 6: when you have that, you know in a very important

448
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 6: player like Pascal Siakam can look much different on the court.

449
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: A bit really impressed with people starting to realize that

450
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: it's underdo this crazy thing in the NBA called defense.

451
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: But it falls late and day one. I think one

452
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: of the biggest adjustments tonight. They went with to bigs

453
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more, but just seeing the confidence for

454
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: Chet Holmgreen early on looked like the moment might be

455
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: too big. He went missing in Game one, but I

456
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: thought that was a pretty big stretch for him in

457
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: the second quarter, late first, early second when things really

458
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: got going for him, and it obviously big tonight. But Mark,

459
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: I feel like they need him if they're going to

460
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: win this series. Okayse needs Chet holmgod oh.

461
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 6: Without a doubt. I mean, he is a great stretch five,

462
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 6: he's a great rebounder. He can also get a lot

463
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 6: of paint production here and so I think there were

464
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 6: a lot of low hanging fruit adjustments that the thunder

465
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: Maid and Chet Holmgrin's one of them fifteen points six

466
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 6: of eleven from the field after shooting two of nine

467
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 6: in Game one. You mentioned the starting lineup and the

468
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 6: adjustment there. I mean Cason Wallace still got the knob.

469
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: Isaiah Harten seems still played more minutes, and so I

470
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: think that that increased the comfort level for Chet because

471
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: he's used to sharing the four of Isaiah. Isaiah's a

472
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 6: great passer and they can share pick and roll duties

473
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 6: with Shay, and I think that also resulted in them

474
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 6: winning the rebound in battle forty three to thirty five.

475
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 6: I think the other thing is even though Jalleen Williams

476
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 6: only shot five or fourteen from the field, he still

477
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 6: scored mostly from the free throw line, and they always

478
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 6: need him to be a reliable secondary scorer to compliment

479
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 6: show because he is the best candidate. I mean, it

480
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 6: was a nice bonus for the Thunder to get guys

481
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 6: like Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins to produce offensively, but

482
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 6: normally they don't get that from those guys. They normally

483
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 6: get intangibles. So I think that that offset Jalen's not

484
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 6: shooting the ball the most efficient, but at least he

485
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 6: got in the box score because he was a no

486
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 6: show Game one. But you know, this has been a

487
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 6: troubling powder for Jalen. He's had some note shows, it's

488
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 6: coincide with losses, but he has a good bounce back

489
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 6: track record, partly because he studies the film rafter the

490
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 6: game and he's you know, very internally motivated. So I

491
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: think the what the whole lesson here with game two

492
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 6: is if Shay got to Salaxander does what he normally

493
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 6: does and plays at star level and he at least

494
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 6: gets some reliable help from a supporting cast Thunder a

495
00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 6: very tough team to be.

496
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: All right, Mark, what happens going back to Indiana? Then

497
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: what are you expecting? Firstill, does anything change in the

498
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: tempo going back to Indiana? More points, less points, more defense,

499
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: more up and down or let's of that?

500
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: What do you think?

501
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 6: Well? I think the Pacers will certainly always try to

502
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 6: play at a fast pace. I think historically when you

503
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 6: look at teams that play at home, their role players

504
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 6: shoot a lot better. I mean, I think the low

505
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 6: hanging for for them and Zobe topping shooting better than

506
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 6: one of eight from the field. Same thing with Pascal

507
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 6: Siakam three of eleven. So I don't think this series

508
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: is going to be lopside. I don't think it's over.

509
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 6: I still favor even before tonight's game, the Thunder winning

510
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 6: this series, but it's because of what I've seen them

511
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 6: in the playoffs and how they are on paper. But

512
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 6: I don't think this is ever going to be lopside,

513
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 6: with exception of Game two, because of just the urgency

514
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 6: that need to bounce back. I think the Pacers have

515
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 6: shown that they've gotten here for reasons beyond Boston New

516
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 6: York underachieving, not being fully one hundred percent. They are

517
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: a real deal. They're resilient. Tyres Haliburton is a great player.

518
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 6: He did have the greatest game tonight, but I think

519
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 6: he'll bounce back. So I think that even though the

520
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 6: Thunder are in control of the series, the Pacers still

521
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 6: can keep it competitive. I think moving forward, I expect

522
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 6: more of a wired and wire finish than a double digit,

523
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 6: you know, easy win that the Thunder got tonight.

524
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Mark Mendina is our guests a couple

525
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: more recapp in the Thunder win in Game two to

526
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: Night one twenty three, one oh seven. You know, if

527
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: you ask Thunder fans love to tell you about and

528
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 2: I know Indiana loves to tell you about theirs, and

529
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: that's their home court advantage and the loud city for

530
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: OKC just the energy the Jews. Are you seeing that

531
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: make as big of an impact as we typically think

532
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: it does as fans? How important has home courting your

533
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: opinion been, not just here for the rest of this

534
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: series put in the playoffs so far, Mark.

535
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's health. I mean, their crowd resembles

536
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 6: a kind of a college crowd. It might be studying

537
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 6: because Oklahoma City small time vibes. This is their professional franchise,

538
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: but I think in fairness Indiana they're not afraid of

539
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 6: the moment. Obviously, they stole Game one in front of

540
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 6: a very energetic crowd, So I think it really just

541
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 6: had to do with the Thunder really locking in on

542
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 6: every intangible I mean, again, it starts with Shay Guild

543
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 6: as Alexander. If he's not putting up star performance numbers

544
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 6: with like he did in thirty thirty five, thirty four

545
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 6: points site, they're going to lose, but they checked the

546
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 6: boxes with improved play from Ched Holmgren and Jane Williams.

547
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 6: Some pleasant surprise with Alex Caruso and Aaron Wagins, and

548
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: also the free throw. The script and said they got

549
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 6: twenty nine free for they made twenty ninth free throws

550
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 6: the Pacers mad nineteen. Does it have to do with

551
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 6: home court? Probably a little bit of a factor, But

552
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 6: I think the bigger thing is when you add up

553
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 6: all these things, why the thunderwin? They checked every box

554
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 6: and left no stone unturned.

555
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, you know, I want to think of when

556
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: you were dating and then you broke up with a girl,

557
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: and then you're like a you really misser, Maybe you

558
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 3: made a mistake. You get back together, you say I'm sorry,

559
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, We're back together. Could the next day we're

560
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: sorry and bring back tividough?

561
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: Can we do that? We're sorry?

562
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 6: I don't think you can that? Now?

563
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: Who's the next coach? What do you think?

564
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 6: And here's the thing I mean, I don't agree with

565
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 6: the with the move. I mean not that Thibodeau had

566
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: a perfect batting percentage, but I think that he played

567
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 6: a major factor why they got to the Eastern Conference

568
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 6: finals and their shortcomings more how to do with personnel

569
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 6: than anything else. So where do they go moving forward? Yeah,

570
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 6: they have a wishless Jason Kidd, but I would be

571
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 6: surprised that he would go. I mean, first, the Mavericks

572
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 6: have to give permission for them to talk to him.

573
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 6: And secondly, even if he is one of many who

574
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 6: had misgivings about the Luka data trade, you know what,

575
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 6: they have the number one pick and skin they're going

576
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 6: to get Cooper Flag. I think that's a better situation

577
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 6: moving forward. So where they go from here, Yeah, they

578
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: can talk to other coaches, Michael Malone and Mike Bullenholzer

579
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 6: and Taylor Jenkins, but I don't think any of them

580
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 6: are better than Tibbs. They can also try to get

581
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: aggressive and see if they got Jannisnttkoumpo, but they don't

582
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 6: have as many draft picks as most of them went

583
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 6: for the Michale Bridges trade five of them, and if

584
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 6: they're going to make a deal, it's going to involve

585
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 6: Karnthy Towns and while he does bring some value, I

586
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 6: don't think it's enough to get Yanna. So yeah, they're

587
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 6: in a really tough predictament and there's a real danger

588
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 6: that they're reverting back to the old knicks of gaining

589
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 6: their own way and being impatient with things, so should

590
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 6: be interesting.

591
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 2: Back to the old Knicks, all right, Hey, Mark, appreciate

592
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: it man. Everyone go find him on Twitter at Margie

593
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: Underscore Medina and thanks front of time man. We'll talk

594
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 2: to you soon.

595
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 6: Appreciate you guys. You guys awesome.

596
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: Thanks Martin marketing up late with us on a Sunday.

597
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: Oh he's not alive, all right. You're trying to raise

598
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: the daddy here, aren't he? How about Phil Jackson? He's

599
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: still around. Didn't that fail though when he tried to

600
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: be head coach to the Knicks? Or is that just GM?

601
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 2: Jim Martin Wise is in the house to get us

602
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: caught up on all the news, notes and numbers from

603
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: the night that was not just in the NBA, but

604
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: all of sports. What's going on, Martin.

605
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 8: We'll start in the NBA, even though Martin and you

606
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 8: guys just talked about a series tied one apiece. Now

607
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 8: after Oklahoma City dismantled the Pacers today, especially in the

608
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 8: first half, Shay Gilders Alexander had a monster third quarter,

609
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 8: finished with thirty four total points.

610
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: But the story of this game to me, Alex Caruso.

611
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 8: And Aaron Wiggins combining for thirty eight points. Both of

612
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 8: those guys outscored every player on the Indiana Pacers. Tyres

613
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 8: Halliburton was the high man here was seventeen points, but

614
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 8: didn't really turn it on until late in the fourth quarter.

615
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 8: Pascal Siakam had fifteen, Miles Turner with sixteen, and Bendingmatin off.

616
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: The bench with fourteen. Both of these guys.

617
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,600

00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: eighteen or whatever number you had at I'm really intrigued

806
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 2: by Roman numeral four because I just saw your tweet.

807
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 2: But I haven't been able to bug you and learn

808
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: anything else about meeting the son in law's girl. I'm sorry,

809
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: your son's future in laws.

810
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 3: Right right, right right. I had dinner with them last night. Well,

811
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 3: and the brother was wearing a Pacer sweater. Or they're

812
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 3: from Indiana, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

813
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: Okay, So, first of.

814
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: All, I've never met a Pacer fan. I didn't know

815
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: they existed. To be honest with you, I've never I

816
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: never knew the Pacers had fans, right because you.

817
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: Didn't see them all in the arena whenever they were

818
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: beating your knees.

819
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: I thought they were just I thought there were just

820
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: people that were paid to go to the game.

821
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: I think this act is getting old.

822
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 3: No, I know those were real fans. I thought there

823
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: were people that.

824
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: Just Colin Road. Forget the Aaron Rodgers signing. The real

825
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 2: sports story of the week was Arnie soon to be

826
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: daughter in law exerting her sports team dominance on the

827
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 2: span your household.

828
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 3: I was disgusted. I couldn't sit next to the kid anymore.

829
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 3: When he was wearing a Pacer sweatshirt.

830
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: I got up.

831
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: I actually left the restaurant for like five minutes because

832
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: I was just just hot under the collar. And then

833
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 3: when I walked back in, I elbowed him in the

834
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: back of the head. I was sipping a beer, hoping

835
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: that he would spill it, and then I sat on

836
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:34,919
Speaker 3: the other side of the day.

837
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: It just couldn't be.

838
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: It was an ugly sweatshirt too. I'm like, really, get

839
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 3: out of here, man, it was horrible. Take note if

840
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 3: we need to get rid of Arnie and just put

841
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: on shirt. He's fighting with his future and is that even?

842
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: Is that? So? Hold on? I always get confused by this.

843
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 2: So that's your daughter in law's brother. Is that what

844
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: it is? Yes? So he's like really nothing to you,

845
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: He's just going to be around all the time.

846
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just you know, you know, just and I

847
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 3: had to pick up the bill too. Oh my god, yeah,

00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 3: I picked.

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're the you're the you're the dad. Now

851
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: As soon as you get all these feelings around here.

00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 10: Now, it's almost like birthdays don't happen every year.

Speaker 2: I mean, okay, you gotta do something, Harnie. I mean

938
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: it's your why. For goodness sakes, I my wife can't

941
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: a card or something. Good luck.

942
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 3: I just I don't understand why every year I gotta

943
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 3: do something for every year I did so here last year.

944
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: The teams that have already clinched their spot in the

945
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: College World Series, Arizona will play Coastal. Next week, Louisville

946
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 2: will awake the winner of the Oregon State Florida State game.

947
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: UCLA is in Oregon State. Florida State will play a

948
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: third game tomorrow. UCLA will play the winner of Duke

949
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: and Murray State instance Omaha. Yeah they look good, and

950
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 2: then Arkansas will likely play LSU. It was a rain

951
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: delayed game, but it's in action now it's late. It

952
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 2: was you were right, they were smoking them last I checked.

953
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 2: So it looks like it's going to be LSU trying

954
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: to defend its title back in Omaha and the College

955
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: World Series. So congrats to your Tigers. And then game

956
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: one went the thunder. I went against the dune with

957
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: the Pacers way. Game two tonight much more Oklahoma City

958
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 2: like one twenty three, one oh seven SGA had thirty

959
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: four points to eight assists and Arnie to Row minumeral

960
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 2: number two. I don't I don't really have an offense.

961
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: I don't people. I don't know why the ratings are

962
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 2: as low as they are. It's not like the NBA

963
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 2: has been crushing it in TV ratings this year in general,

964
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: do you, But I obviously think that obviously something with

965
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: the markets factor in here too. Absolutely.

966
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 3: You know it's close to nine million, and I know

967
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 3: it's the lowest since eighty eight, but I'm not sure

968
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 3: what I was expecting. I mean, what were we expecting

969
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 3: twelve thirteen, fourteen million? And what was it last year?

970
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: I don't have the numbers from last year. Is that

971
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 3: surprisingly low at eight point nine? I guess since it's

972
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: the worst since nineteen eighty eight, But I really think

973
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: it's because there's a lack of villains, lack of storylines,

974
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 3: no intrigue. You can't find Indiana or Oklahoma on a map.

975
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: So look, now you're mad at me again. I think

976
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: all the reasons you give her garbage? Oh wow, I

977
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: think if you're you okay, Well, there's got to be

978
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: a reason. Somebody tell me the reason that. Well, let

979
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: me give you the other side of it. Yeah, go ahead.

980
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: NBA claims that they average nearly three times more viewers

981
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 2: than the next most watched program on any other network

982
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 2: on Thursdayday night any other network Wednesday night, three times

983
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: more viewers than any other TV show that was being

984
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 2: watched that night. Nearly half of the eighteen to thirty

985
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: four year olds who were watching TV were tuned into

986
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals and it generated more than five hundred

987
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: million views on social media, so an all time record.

988
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: So you just so you're saying, go ahead, the NBA is

989
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 3: like three times more popular than like the most popular.

990
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: TV show on that Wednesday night. I don't even know

991
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: what it is, just that regular TV, Okay, I just

992
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 2: know that. Wow. Yeah. And in eighteen to thirty four,

993
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: which I'm just going out on a limb here, Arnie,

994
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: probably out of your age demographic, nearly half of those

995
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: eighteen to thirty fours who were watching TV were tuned

996
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 2: into the NBA final and on social media, on old on,

997
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: just let me remind you on social media. Five hundred

998
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 2: million views on social media and all time record. So

999
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 2: you're too bad. Nobody's paying attention to it.

1000
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 3: No, So is it because that there's so much those

1001
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 3: those numbers, those last numbers you gave me don't count.

1002
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: In the market numbers on the TV numbers, right, is

1003
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 2: that right? No, because they're looking at TV ratings, which

1004
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: is still kind of antiquated in my book, And honestly,

1005
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody that watches anything other than sports

1006
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 2: on TV. I mean, you have a regular TV show

1007
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: you watch on like two, I say two, six or

1008
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 2: eight because that was CBS, ABC and NBC when I

1009
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: was growing up, and now you have Fox here. I mean,

1010
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: do you have does anyone have any regular shows they

1011
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: watch on those networks? I don't know, And like, I'll

1012
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 2: watch Family it anyway or whatever, you'll watch it later on, right?

1013
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 2: I mean, am I missing a show here, Ian or

1014
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 2: Mary that's blowing up that I'm just not aware of?

1015
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: Even Family Guy? Like he said, it's on Hulu too,

1016
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 2: It's on who was right? I go watch whenever I

1017
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: want the finals? But you know, then again, that was

1018
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: again on that show that's on regular TV that you

1019
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: can watch that you make appointment viewing for. It's just

1020
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: I think it's an antiquated way to look at the

1021
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 2: success or lack their success.

1022
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 3: A final not since back to back Happy Days in Lavernon.

1023
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: Surely I don't know really see it. So I guess

1024
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 2: my point, more than anything else, is I don't really

1025
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 2: care what the TV ratings say. I just know that

1026
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 2: I thoroughly enjoyed watching both games. The comeback by Indiana's

1027
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: gut wrenching as it was, I was entertained watching the

1028
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 2: thunder battle tonight. Kind of never wanted to give up

1029
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 2: on Indiana until they kind of even with three minutes

1030
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 2: to go. You're like, oh, you know they've done this before.

1031
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised they took the guys out with two

1032
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 3: minutes left of the game, two and a half minutes

1033
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: left in the game and said, Okay, this game is

1034
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,840
Speaker 3: one and we'll just go and play our bench players.

1035
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: I was a little surprised about that, But like I said,

1036
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 2: I mean, you could sit here and joke about I

1037
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: got no answer. I got no answer whatsoever. I don't

1038
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 2: know what to tell you. I just have the numbers,

1039
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what the

1040
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: bottom line more than anything else, Arenie. The overall frustration

1041
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: and disappointment with those that aren't for me, with those

1042
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: that have just tapped out and aren't watching. I just

1043
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 2: I don't get it because they're all and I don't

1044
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: see them. I mean, there's nobody that's checking in here

1045
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 2: that covers the NBA or cover sports. It's like, Wow,

1046
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm just not watching it because everyone seems to have

1047
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: an opinion on it.

1048
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 3: Especially because there's really nothing going up against it sports wise, right,

1049
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 3: I really have the you know, the sports world to themselves.

1050
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: So you would think that every year the ratings would

1051
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 3: be good because there's nobody going on.

1052
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: PD ratings, the social media ratings, and at least the

1053
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 2: numbers there. I don't know about you, but that seems

1054
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 2: to be pretty encouraging. That seems to be where most

1055
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: of the hay is made, if you will anymore, and

1056
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: that's where the NBA is trying to I think capitalize

1057
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 2: a bit. By the way, that's score in that LSU

1058
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: West Virginia game. It's twelve to four in the top

1059
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: of the eighth innings, So I'm pretty sure it's going

1060
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 2: to be LSU and Arkansas in the first round. Have

1061
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: you been watching any of the basics? Oh yeah, dude.

1062
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: My buddy Rob and I we came over. We drank

1063
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 2: about seven beers and watched. We watched Miami Louisville, we watched,

1064
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: we watched Arizona, North Carolina. We're watching the start of

1065
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: the Arkansas Tennessee game. It was fun watch the end

1066
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: of Coastal Carolina and Auburn. It was great. Man. I

1067
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: love the world. I love diving sports, in college sports,

1068
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: I love them. I'm a big softball guy. Obviously, congrats

1069
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: to Texas, and I'm all and I usually cover the

1070
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 2: College World Series, so I listen. I know my man,

1071
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: Shady Sean Shady Sean for twenty I guess the birthday's

1072
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 2: April twentieth. I know that he gets mad at us

1073
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 2: when we spend too much time on college sports. But

1074
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: it is the Super Regionals, it is the next trip

1075
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 2: to the World Series. So I just find myself as

1076
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: some of the thoroughly enjoys it, aren't you doesn't too

1077
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 2: many people care about it, though. I don't be honest.

1078
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 2: If you're gonna make fun of me about Oklahoma City

1079
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: and don't care about the NBA Finals, right, we're really

1080
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: walking a plank whenever it comes to the College World Series. No,

1081
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 2: you're one hundred percent right on that.

1082
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 3: I don't even know what kind of numbers they get,

1083
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 3: and it seems like it's growing a little bit in popularity,

1084
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 3: but nowhere near what you saw in the ratings for

1085
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 3: the NBA.

1086
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 2: Now, so dumb question. Yeah, I give you those numbers

1087
00:48:54,880 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 2: about social media impact. The digital eighteen to thirty four

1088
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 2: market doesn't do anything for you, does it? Because you

1089
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 2: need to see TV ratings?

1090
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 3: It does a little bit when you gave me the

1091
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,800
Speaker 3: five hundred million, that's that's a lot.

1092
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: I mean, that's you.

1093
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 3: Know, I don't know what that means for, like, you know,

1094
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 3: and equating that, you know, how many people are actually

1095
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 3: watching it, because right then it goes over like I

1096
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: don't know, ten fifteen.

1097
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: Who knows how many people really checking it out.

1098
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: It just goes to show you nobody's really watching the

1099
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 3: entire event. And that's the same thing for baseball even football.

1100
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 3: They just catching glimpse of it and highlights of it

1101
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But it does change my mind

1102
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 3: a little bit about how many people are paying attention.

1103
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 2: By the way, one other baseball game is currently in progress.

1104
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 2: I failed to mention it, mister, and nobody pointed out

1105
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 2: Oregon State is beating the breaks off Florida State right

1106
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 2: now on the top of the eighth inning, fourteen to eight.

1107
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 2: So it looks like Oregon State's going to advance only

1108
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 2: so we're only gonna have one game tomorrow. Dude, You'll

1109
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: get the Duke Murray State game tomorrow. Sorry about that, mister.

1110
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 2: No bud are resident Florida State expert to tweets to Twitter,

1111
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: we go to x Darryl's mad at you. Usually Darryl's

1112
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 2: mad at me, but I'll wear it whenever he's mad

1113
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 2: at you. He writes, you're speaking for me as well, Plank,

1114
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 2: and for the rest of us. Arnie isn't going anywhere.

1115
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 2: He uses the show to fantasize rather than just actually

1116
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 2: going to some of those games. At least one of

1117
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 2: those games. My goodness, Arnie, let's go Pacers.

1118
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Chris, I can tell you if I

1119
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 3: didn't live in Vermont, and I live someplace else closer

1120
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 3: to the games, then maybe I can go.

1121
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll end up moving from Vermont.

1122
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 3: You never know. Maybe that was the big announcement.

1123
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: Mister Nobody got in on the NBA Finals too. He writes,

1124
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: there was a lot of people, including Rob Parker, who

1125
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: were burying okay See after Game one. They thought, quote unquote,

1126
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: Indy does it again, not realizing that okay se has

1127
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: blown game one leads. Before tonight the thunder reminded people

1128
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 2: they're not other teams Indie beat. They're the under Oh

1129
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 2: significantly better than any team that they beat so far

1130
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,479
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Yeah, significantly better.

1131
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 3: There was no way anybody was writing them off or look,

1132
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 3: I don't know about what Rob had to say, but

1133
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 3: nobody was writing.

1134
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: Them off after one.

1135
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 3: You lose two on the road and go after that,

1136
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 3: that's a whole different story. And you know, it was

1137
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: a game they should have won. So maybe people thought

1138
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: that they were going to come back because of the

1139
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 3: way they lost. I could see a little bit of

1140
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 3: that sentiment, But no, I didn't.

1141
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: I didn't think the series was over. Mister the nature Boy,

1142
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 2: writes NBA viewer number three reporting for duty. Here there

1143
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 2: you go. I knew.

1144
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 3: See, I knew all three NBA viewers listen to our show.

1145
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 3: That's that's quite remarkable.

1146
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 2: That's great, man.

1147
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: See, I see now when we talk about the NBA,

1148
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 3: we're talking about the three people that.

1149
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 2: I know, three people that are watching, right, and then

1150
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 2: brings up a really good point. He says, the problem

1151
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: is the NBA markets like six teams. That's why the

1152
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: NFL is king. If you have Mahomes, Alan or Burrow,

1153
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 2: you are a big market team. All the other sports

1154
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 2: need the big mare markets to win to get ratings.

1155
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: I think, you know, it's it's funny to think about

1156
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: it now because it was a big old burr in

1157
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: the saddle of most Thunder fans aren't Eve The Thunder

1158
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: didn't even play on Christmas. They weren't even part of

1159
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: the Christmas schedule for the NBA this year. I mean,

1160
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: can you believe that.

1161
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 3: Nobody would they think they were going to be a

1162
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 3: good team, or just nobody not enough interest in them?

1163
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 2: I guess I guess the latter. I mean, they were

1164
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the West last year, so

1165
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be on your on your big day

1166
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: for the league. And I get it. Look, we don't

1167
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 2: have this laundry list of superstars. They are gonna be there.

1168
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 2: I think Brad Pitt. You know guys that are from Oklahoma. Well,

1169
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 2: I think Brad was born in Oklahoma but lived most

1170
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 2: most of his life in Joplin. We still claim him.

1171
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 2: Who's the country music singer Blake? Uh? Why did I

1172
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 2: just Blake on Blake? Blake's Blake Shelton. We got Blake Shelton, right,

1173
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 2: we got Blake Griffith, but we don't. I mean, there's

1174
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 2: not a superstar lead market mark. We're not getting Timothy

1175
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: Shalomade showing up or Shamalata whatever his name is. And

1176
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 2: you're not getting Ben Stiller showing up. You're not getting

1177
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: bike Lee. I don't know if that has something to

1178
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 2: do with all we don't need to market it, but

1179
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: it's it's true. Your market staff still, your market Lebron still.

1180
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: They kind of got a little drunk for Victor wimbin

1181
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 2: Yama there for a while. But you don't see a

1182
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: big push for SGA and for the Thunder during the season.

1183
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 2: You don't hear a lot about Tyrese Halliburton. During the season.

1184
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 2: You'll see the highlights of the Knicks. The only thing you.

1185
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,919
Speaker 3: Hear about Oklahoma City is that they traded away three

1186
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 3: Hall of Famers and that they were never going to

1187
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: recover after that. Think about that for a second. You

1188
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: traded away three Hall of.

1189
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 2: Famers and well, they didn't trade Durant. Durant left via

1190
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 2: free agency. Okay, Well, I guess you could say traded

1191
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 2: away because Harden was traded, Westbrook was trading, and Paul

1192
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: George was traded, so yes, technically, and then you lost

1193
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant, who left during free agency.

1194
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 3: Unbelieved how you bounce back from that is truly remarkable

1195
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 3: that most teams would be like in the bottom for

1196
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 3: like a decade after they do something like that.

1197
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: Well, especially whenever things didn't go as well as they

1198
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 2: did in the Harden trade, Like you said, right, I mean,

1199
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 2: look who they got back in that deal. Hoof right,

1200
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean that was a big swing and a miss.

1201
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: But when they got back in the Paul George trade

1202
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 2: and what they got back, picks wise from the rockets

1203
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: kind of made up in the Russell Westbrook trade made

1204
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 2: up for a lot of it. And then LJ writes, Chris,

1205
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 2: can you start your own Roman numeral list? The first

1206
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 2: item is to teach Arnie the difference between there and

1207
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: they are. Wow. Second is making a new broadcast tweet.

1208
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 2: Arnie is using the same tweet exciting yes new No, Well,

1209
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 2: it's got a big announcement next week, so maybe there's

1210
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 2: gonna be something new about it. But I'm sure you'll

1211
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: get You'll get a fill in like on Jason Show,

1212
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 2: and to try to sound cool, you'll make that announcement

1213
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 2: on their show. No, no, no, I got it. I

1214
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 2: can see that happen. No, we'll be on our show.

1215
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't have any fill in next week.

1216
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 3: Usually, well usually they asked me by Tuesday for the

1217
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 3: following week, so we'll see what happens.

1218
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 2: Oh, is that your deadline? Don't ask after tuesdays. I

1219
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 2: don't work after tuesdays. You can't ask me after that.

1220
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 2: I got a rule about that, though. I think I

1221
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 2: didn't sell the fact that you claimed that you had

1222
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 2: beef with your brother and are your future I guess

1223
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 2: daughter in law's brother. Yeah, I guess. Really the father

1224
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: was a Baser fan too. They're all all excited to

1225
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 2: watch the game today and stuff like that. They were

1226
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 2: gonna come over. No, I'm not coming over to watch.

1227
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 2: And by the way too, to circle out, we were

1228
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 2: talking about the firing of coaches Colin Wrights. To be fair,

1229
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 2: the Raptors did fire their head coach after he won

1230
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 2: a Coach of the Year. All Nick Nurse did in

1231
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 2: year one was win a championship. Oh, let's see Kenny

1232
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 2: Atkinson one Coach of the Year this year. Mark Dagnault

1233
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: won it for the thunder last year. And then you

1234
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 2: got to go all the way back to like Steve

1235
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 2: Kerr winning it. Between Kerr winning it and dag Nault

1236
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: and Atkinson, like every coach have been fired. It's like

1237
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 2: eight of the last eleven Coach of the years have

1238
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 2: been fired. It's unbelievable. So yeah, don't win Coach of

1239
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 2: the Year and whatever you do, don't make the Eastern

1240
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 2: Conference finals. Yeah.

1241
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 3: By the way, I know we got Todd Furman coming

1242
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 3: up next segment, So I just I just want to

1243
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 3: say this. You know, I'm pretty upset at our gambling

1244
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 3: friends out there, well, you know, especially Brian know who

1245
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 3: two weeks ago I asked him to bet one hundred

1246
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 3: dollars on my Arizona Wildcats at eighty five to one

1247
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 3: odds to win the baseball championship and he wrote.

1248
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 2: Me back and he goes, don't waste your money. They're

1249
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 2: not going to win it. Well yet, oh please, it's

1250
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 2: just a mirror, you know, formality, and Jeff Schwartz going

1251
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 2: they're not gonna win it, all right, Okay.

1252
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 3: Now look at them now, they're they're in Omaha, and

1253
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be uh they were eighty five to one odds,

1254
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 3: So that would have been eight five hundred dollars in

1255
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 3: my pocket that I'm gonna have to make him pay me.

1256
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 2: Now, what are you gonna have to come out of

1257
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 2: his pocket? How much were you gonna put on him?

1258
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: Like ten bucks? What were Oh? Okay, okay, Well I'm

1259
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: just you, Arnie. You you can bet on teams on

1260
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 2: an app in your state. It is legal to bet

1261
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:01,439
Speaker 2: on Arizona from your phone. I know enraging thing, ever,

1262
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 2: that you don't take advantage of it.

1263
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 3: I saw the odds when it came out on one

1264
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 3: of these sports books in Las Vegas, and I'm like.

1265
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 2: Hey, Brian, go run over there.

1266
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 3: I'll venue one hundred dollars. And and Bernie wasn't in town.

1267
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 3: And Bernie wasn't in town. Now Bernie's like, well, now

1268
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 3: that I'm in Vegas, I'll go ahead and bet them

1269
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 3: for you.

1270
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 2: I go.

1271
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 3: Now they're like ten to one probably or some Bolognia.

1272
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: After that, I'm not going to make millions like I thought.

1273
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: I was only you, only you, Arnie, trying to cash

1274
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 2: in on a bet that hasn't even been secured yet.

1275
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 3: Arnie, I said, Venmo, Venmo, I know what it is.

1276
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: I know what venmo is for crying out.

1277
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 10: You don't say venue? Do you say Venmo?

1278
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 2: What did I say? He said? When you said whatever?

1279
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: Close enough enough? But again, I think the anger for

1280
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: me is somebody who can't because we don't have the ability.

1281
00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 2: You can literally get on your phone and bet, and

1282
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 2: yet you would choose to try to put something on

1283
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 2: someone else to do it for you. Yeah, yeah, I Bernie,

1284
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: go do it for me now this week, no Lea

1285
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 2: isn't down. We'll get a break when we come back.

1286
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: Todd Furman joined us next right here on Fox Sports

1287
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 2: Radio stick graund Scotta Vegas. Baby. He is Todd Furman,

1288
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio every Sunday Night with Arnie and plank Boy.

1289
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 2: What a bounce back for the thunder tonight. Did it

1290
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 2: do anything in the rest of the series odds? In

1291
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 2: your opinion, Todd, did it shift anything in your perspective

1292
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 2: around for the way this thing may go the rest

1293
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: of the way out?

1294
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 11: Not especially. I think we anticipated that Oklahoma City was

1295
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 11: going to be significantly more buttoned up in Game two

1296
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 11: than what we saw in Game one, knowing that they

1297
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 11: were in firm control of that contest, not only from

1298
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 11: potentially covering as a double digit favorite, but leading wire

1299
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 11: to wire in till tyres Haliburton hit the game winning

1300
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 11: shot with under a half second to go. But when

1301
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 11: you look at some of the numbers, Oklahoma City now

1302
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 11: slightly less of a favorite than they were entering the

1303
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 11: series at minus five sixty compared to roughly seven, but

1304
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 11: they are a five and a half point favorite for

1305
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 11: a pivotal game three. And I think the bigger question

1306
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 11: is about the status of Tyres Halliburn. Imagine he's going

1307
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 11: to play, but didn't exactly look to be one hundred

1308
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 11: percent when he was leaving the podium after his media availability,

1309
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 11: kind of favoring that ankle sprain. The question of severity

1310
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 11: remains to be seen todd well.

1311
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 3: With the ratings down, is less ies mean less money

1312
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 3: being bet and does that mean maybe more props or

1313
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 3: being better or it's down all across the board.

1314
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 11: You know, typically there's a correlation between ratings and what

1315
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 11: the betting handle looks like, but in this series it

1316
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 11: hasn't been the case. Because of the teams that are involved.

1317
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 11: It's more than numbers to try and be able to

1318
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 11: navigate through. You know, the recreational better who see some

1319
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 11: of these big price tags shies away a little bit.

1320
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 11: Although the books I spoke to coming into tip off tonight,

1321
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 11: we're more than happy to have Oklahoma City and do

1322
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 11: so comfortably knowing that people remember what they saw last

1323
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 11: and seeing a number as be high as eleven eleven

1324
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 11: and a half throughout the betting market in the wake

1325
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 11: of Indiana pulling off that game one upset was going

1326
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 11: to attract a lot of recreational better, so the handle

1327
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 11: be a little bit better on games three, and typically

1328
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 11: the deeper we get in a series where there's a

1329
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,920
Speaker 11: little bit more data and where odds makers feel more comfortable,

1330
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 11: the betting public does as well, because they start to

1331
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 11: familiarize themselves with some of the players, the teams, and

1332
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 11: more importantly, the styles of play that they're going to

1333
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 11: see going forward.

1334
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 2: All right, Well, one final thing on the Finals, Todd.

1335
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 2: We were talking with Mark Medine about this, and I'm

1336
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,440
Speaker 2: just curious. We've seen teams have success like Oklahoma City,

1337
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 2: like obviously Indiana. Home court advantage still that big of

1338
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 2: a deal to you? Does it matter as much whenever

1339
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 2: you're evaluating it as it maybe has in years past?

1340
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 11: You know, it does still play a role. I think

1341
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 11: it's always important a factor in now exactly every home

1342
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 11: court in terms of what the value is going to

1343
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 11: be worse. You know, these are two of the more

1344
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 11: college like atmospheres that you're going to see in the NBA.

1345
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 11: So I do think it can be a little bit

1346
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 11: of a difficult environment, especially given the lack of familiarity

1347
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 11: when East meets West. You know, we're talking about the

1348
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 11: Atlanta Hawks playing a home playoff game in the first round.

1349
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 11: You're not going to make that much in the way

1350
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 11: of an adjustment the same way you would for Paycoorp.

1351
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 11: What we're going to see a Cambridge field house and

1352
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 11: what should be an electric atmosphere in game three.

1353
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: You know, Todd, I brought this up an hour number one.

1354
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 3: You know, just like an old girlfriend where you break

1355
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 3: up and then you get back together because you you

1356
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: miss her and you knew it was a bad thing

1357
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 3: to do. I'm ready to say I'm sorry, I hire

1358
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 3: Thibodeaux back. I'm ready to bring it back.

1359
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Todd. Who's going to be.

1360
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 3: Our next coach? What kind of odds can we get?

1361
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 3: But they probably made a mistake getting rid of Tibbs.

1362
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 11: I don't think Tibbs is going to take that invitation

1363
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 11: and come back to coach the Knicks, Darnie. So if

1364
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 11: you have a direct line.

1365
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah to the Dolan.

1366
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 11: Family, by all means, I encourage you to pick that

1367
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,439
Speaker 11: phone up and try and give him a call. See

1368
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,439
Speaker 11: which you can kind of pull off to be able

1369
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 11: to make that happen. But it's kind of been a

1370
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 11: revolving door. If we've seen some coaches take their names

1371
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 11: out of consideration, most notably Danny Hurley and of course

1372
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 11: g Right. There was all sorts of speculation that coach

1373
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 11: Malone would be a logical fit, you know, knowing he

1374
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 11: has tied to the East Coast. But you would think

1375
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 11: if the Knicks we're going to make this move, and

1376
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 11: Leon Rose was going to put his rubber stamp on it,

1377
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 11: the Knicks already would have had a handshake deal in

1378
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 11: play with the potential head coaching candidate. But it is

1379
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 11: the New York Knicks, and I never want to give

1380
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 11: them too much credit for thinking two steps ahead instead

1381
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 11: of making rash decisions.

1382
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of felt that same way. It's like,

1383
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 2: did they divorce with having the mistress in mind? It

1384
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: doesn't look like that's the case. Hey, Dodd shifting real

1385
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: quick to the NFL. It became official this week. I

1386
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 2: know we didn't see a lot of moves in the

1387
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 2: over under number for the Steelers or Aaron Rodgers, but

1388
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 2: had that adjustment already been kind of baked in in

1389
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 2: a lot of the ways that Pittsburgh was viewed in

1390
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five that Aaron Rodgers was going to be

1391
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: their guy.

1392
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 11: One hundred percent. Odds makers are working under the assumption

1393
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 11: that Aaron Rodgers was going to be the starting quarterback.

1394
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 11: We saw that reflected in their win total at eight

1395
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 11: and a half, the fact that the Steelers are a

1396
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 11: slight underdog to make the postseason and even their game

1397
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 11: one number. Will they go to MetLife Stadium and take

1398
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 11: on their former quarterback as well? I justin field. So

1399
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 11: when you're looking at the dynamics in play on a

1400
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 11: variety of different fronts, the odds makers were kind of

1401
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 11: working under that auspice that Rogers was going to be

1402
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 11: the guy. If we got official confirmation that it was

1403
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 11: going to be Mason Rudolph, you would have seen numbers

1404
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 11: taking much more negative context against the Steelers, both in

1405
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 11: the micro and the macro markets.

1406
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 3: Todd, since none of my good buddies got down on

1407
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Arizona at eighty five to one to help me out,

1408
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 3: what can I get them now that they're in the

1409
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 3: College World Series other than I.

1410
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 11: Told you so, pretty impressive, aren't you. I do have

1411
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 11: to give Arizona a world of credit. For battling back

1412
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 11: after that eighteen to two debacle Game one in Chapel Hill.

1413
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 11: Have not seen fully updated futures odds for what the

1414
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 11: College World Series will look like as we wait to

1415
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 11: see how this West Virginia LSU game, which is more

1416
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 11: or less a formality, and of course Oregon State, you know,

1417
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 11: trying to close out Florida State to secure you know,

1418
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 11: seven of the eight bids that we'll have in Omaha

1419
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 11: for the College World Series. I'd expect Arizona to be

1420
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 11: in that ten to twelve to one range, maybe even

1421
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 11: a touch higher when.

1422
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 6: You look at the wildcasts.

1423
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 11: But hey, look, this is the potential and the makings

1424
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 11: of some of the unfamiliar names that are there. And

1425
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 11: if you find yourself rooting for a program not named

1426
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 11: Arkansas or LSU, you have to be thrilled that those

1427
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 11: two heavyweights will do battle in their opening game in

1428
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 11: Omaha next weekend.

1429
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,840
Speaker 2: Thank yeah, man, two teams that probably would have the

1430
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 2: best odds to win the World Series taking on each

1431
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: other in the first round. All right, I've been waiting

1432
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 2: for a couple weeks. Ask your opinion on this, because

1433
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 2: I have become the biggest fan of what's going on

1434
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,919
Speaker 2: on Prime. I think the Prime NASCAR coverage has been phenomenal.

1435
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 2: I know that. I know that today was odd because

1436
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 2: William Byron dominated and then out of nowhere, Denny Hanlet's

1437
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 2: like here, I am, I'm going to win the race.

1438
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: But what have you made of the presentation and the

1439
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 2: way that Prime has covered Nascar? I'm digging it. How

1440
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 2: about you?

1441
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 11: No, I think they've done a phenomenal job. They've taken

1442
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 11: each NASCAR race that they've had on their limited schedule

1443
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 11: and they've turned it into a big event using that

1444
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 11: template in the blueprint that they apply to Thursday night football.

1445
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 11: So it's the extended pregame, the luxury they're affordedive streaming,

1446
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 11: and I think when NASCAR has desk really lacked as well.

1447
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 11: When you're on network television, you just don't have a

1448
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 11: time to do the victory lane postgame show like we

1449
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 11: have seen. And full marks to the team that they

1450
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 11: have in the booth, Dave assembled that has very good

1451
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 11: chemistry right out of the gates and Dale Junior, Steve

1452
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 11: Letard who we know have worked together, and of course

1453
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 11: a guy that I'm all familiar with for my time

1454
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 11: on Race Ub and Adam Alexander, and the same will

1455
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 11: go to the set that they've been able to establish

1456
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 11: with Corey Lajoy, Daniel Trotta and getting Carl Edwards off

1457
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 11: the milk carton back involved in the NASCAR community. Tremendous

1458
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 11: credit to them, and you love to see it. You

1459
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 11: hope the TNT kind of takes the baton from Amazon

1460
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 11: and carry some of that momentum forward when they pick

1461
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,320
Speaker 11: up the schedule. But it's really felt like a different experience,

1462
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 11: and I think any NASCAR fan or even the casuals

1463
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 11: that are starting to get into it, hopefully they've really

1464
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 11: come to enjoy it over the last couple of races.

1465
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 3: All Right, Todd, last thing from me, and the big

1466
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 3: question was on Twitter, and I don't know if you

1467
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 3: saw this. I hope you have a pen with you.

1468
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 3: If not, I hope you remember this. Somebody wrote, what

1469
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 3: I win three million dollars? How much do I have

1470
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 3: to tip? What I'm in Vegas? They said you have

1471
01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 3: to tip the dealers thirty to sixty thousand dollars, cocktail

1472
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 3: servers one thousand dollars each, the cashier five hundred, security

1473
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 3: three hundred, the casino host five hundred, the valet two

1474
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 3: hundred and the pit boss just a high five.

1475
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Sound right on that.

1476
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money for the dealers on thirty

1477
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 3: to sixty thousand dollars though.

1478
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 11: You know normally it's a percentage, but when you're taking

1479
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 11: home a three million dollar hall, that's a little bit different.

1480
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 11: So you're not going to tip, you know, five to

1481
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 11: seven percent or anything along those lines. But always there

1482
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 11: on the side of caution, especially with the personalities you

1483
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 11: just spend the most amount of time with, and for

1484
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 11: someone that has a VIP host, the more you take

1485
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 11: care of them, they will typically reciprocate that behavior. But

1486
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 11: the last thing you want is to be rolling out

1487
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 11: of that casino with people feeling unappreciated. So if you

1488
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 11: happen to come into a windfall of cash at three

1489
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 11: million bucks, don't be so tight on those purse strings already.

1490
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 11: Make sure you're doling out to benjamins like I know

1491
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 11: you do when you're walking around downtown Burlington on a

1492
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 11: Saturday night, you know, deep into the fall, when it's

1493
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 11: twelve degrees outside. So i'd expect you to treat all

1494
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 11: of your dealers in casino personnel the exact same way.

1495
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 11: When you finally get that a loose mid seven figure

1496
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 11: pay day.

1497
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,919
Speaker 3: With Arizona at about twelve to one, I'll be able

1498
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 3: to get myself a nice little cabin by the lake

1499
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: Lake Champlain.

1500
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 2: When said and done, there you go, hey.

1501
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 11: Look I respect it, and you know, maybe you can

1502
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 11: take some of the winnings if Arizona goes on to

1503
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 11: win the College World Series, find a way to parlay

1504
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 11: that into college football, and then of course roll that

1505
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 11: over into Arizona winning on the hardwood as well. You know,

1506
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 11: maybe you be on cairdown sweep winning three major sports.

1507
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 11: Not quite sure how they're going to do it or

1508
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 11: which one of those trios most likely, but at the

1509
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 11: same time, you have to dream big to be able

1510
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 11: to achieve.

1511
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 2: Some of those like goals. Good stuff. Hey Tod, have

1512
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,480

Speaker 2: the house with what's trending, What's going on? Martin. What's

1519
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,919
Speaker 2: going on is that Oklahoma City Sooner? Wait done?

1520
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 3: No, Maxie Arney, don't disrespect him like that.

1521
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm disappointed in you, Arnie, But to say disappointed

1522
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 8: means you expect better, you know, And so I guess

1523
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 8: it's just far for the course.

1524
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 2: Now.

1525
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 8: The best team in the NBA all season, the Oklahoma

1526
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 8: City Thunder, showed why today, one twenty three to one

1527
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 8: oh seven in Game two, tying up that series one

1528
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:26,280

1593
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,720

1594
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,440
Speaker 3: start times and.

1595
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,320

1600
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 3: I've got nothing better to do than to fight at

01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,439

1602
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,280

1603
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 2: want to wait on it till the final hour. Yeah,

1604
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 2: and I'm a little disappointed that you didn't have another

Speaker 2: NFL story, knowing how much of a Homer, you are

Speaker 2: super Bowl when you brought him in a two years ago.

1610
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,759
Speaker 3: This is the first time in how many years I'm

01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 3: coming into the season not feeling so great about my Dolphins.

1612
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,479

1616
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 3: something's bothered me about them. I just feel like they're

1617
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 3: missing something out. There's a piece of the puzzle that's missing.

1618
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. You know you're in high

1619
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 2: NFL time when one of the lead stories is that

1620
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 2: Adam Sandler will cast Derek Kndray in a movie if

1621
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 2: he rushes for two thousand yards, That, Arnie is when

1622
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 2: you know we are in big news time in the

1623
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:57,559
Speaker 2: National Football League.

1624
01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 3: You know, I'm the one that started this whole put

1625
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,760

1626
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 3: been bothering Adam Sandler and now this.

1627
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 2: I don't think I think they're boys. I don't think

1628
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 2: he bothers them. I think they're they're friends.

1629
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 3: So what, man, he's just be putting me in movies. Man,

1630
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:15,719
Speaker 3: that'd be better if they saw me in there. Dans

1631
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 3: are like every damn Adam Sandler movie.

1632
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's right. You know I played basketball with Adam.

1633
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 2: See there you go. You should have had an in.

1634
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean he doesn't know who I am,

1635
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 3: but we did play basketball together.

1636
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 2: There was one other note that dropped tonight. Nick Chubb

1637
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 2: is expected to sign with the Houston Texans. Ian Rappaport,

1638
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 2: I like to move a lot. We got a backfield

1639
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 2: now of Joe Mixon and add Nick Chubb to it.

1640
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:41,519
Speaker 2: They also have Damian Pierce, who's I think a really

1641
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 2: good running back. They might have too many guys. We'll

1642
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 2: see if we'll see if maybe they make a couple

1643
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 2: of moves, but you like it make an impact for you.

1644
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: There's another one we're missing. Also.

1645
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 3: They were what's at another back that they had the Texans.

1646
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 3: I can't remember off the top of my head. They

1647
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 3: got injured also.

1648
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 2: But well, I just said Joe Mixing and Damian Pierce.

1649
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 2: They have Woody Marx and Daria Ugno Augna Bowlet. I

1650
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: believe it. I can't say his last name, but no,

1651
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a good move.

1652
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 3: And I was surprised, you know, I thought there was

1653
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of teams interested in.

1654
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it was a good move by them

1655
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 2: though that I get a guy that averaged over five

1656
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 2: yards per carry for the first six seasons of his career.

1657
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 2: But the Browns went out and got a couple of

1658
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 2: running backs this spring in the draft. Oh and they

1659
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,680
Speaker 2: got a couple of quarterbacks too, so kind of kind

1660
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 2: of like last man, and they're speaking to quarterbacks Alreadie,

1661
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll give that tease, we'll get

1662
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,879
Speaker 2: that warn because let's talk about the move finally happening.

1663
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is a Steeler and we know what the

1664
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 2: money looks like. So we'll dive into it. Next to

1665
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 2: put a rap on hour two with already in Plank

1666
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. All right, Arnie, let's uh, let's

1667
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 2: hit Roman numeral number ten. I think it's time. I

1668
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 2: think we procrastinated on it enough. Yes, we've given it

1669
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 2: enough time. What'd you make of the move this week

1670
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 2: to bring in one a A Ron Aaron Rodgers two

1671
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers officially.

1672
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 3: Well, first, was it true that he was you know,

1673
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 3: he did all this so he didn't have to go

1674
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 3: to OTA's and all that stuff. And this year, yeah,

1675
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's amazing. It just feels like he's

1676
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 3: doing all the nonsense again, but at least behind closed doors.

1677
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no surprise here. Excuse me, No, we

1678
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 3: knew this was going to happen. It was just a

1679
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 3: matter of time and the right timing and where he

1680
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 3: would maximize his uh, you know, do less work and

1681
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 3: less training and all that stuff. I think it will

1682
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 3: hurt him a little bit because he's not gonna be,

1683
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, on the same page as the receivers. But

1684
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 3: we still got a long way to go. We still

1685
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 3: got about two months to go. I don't think it's

1686
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 3: gonna help Pittsburgh. I don't think Pittsburgh is going to

1687
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 3: be five hundred this year. I don't think they're going

1688
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 3: to the playoffs this year. I think he's probably gonna

1689
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,640
Speaker 3: win let's say, eight games. I think he's gonna have

1690
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 3: a bad year. They're a defensive team, so I think

1691
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 3: his numbers are going to be down and I don't

1692
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 3: think Aaron Rodgers are gonna be happy though. They got

1693
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 3: him for what was it, one year, little over thirteen

1694
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 3: million dollars.

1695
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 2: That not a bad deal.

1696
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 3: No, No, that's fan friendly, No doubt about that.

1697
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 2: Team friendly, team friendly.

1698
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 3: But what did I read that he was their third

1699
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 3: choice when it was all said and done?

1700
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, you'll have to take me deep on that one.

1701
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 2: He was the third choice when all was said and done? Yeah,

1702
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 2: who was their first choice?

1703
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 7: Well, they wanted to keep well reports, you're right, Arnie

1704
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 7: reports did say they actually wanted to trade for Matt

1705
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 7: Stafford and then sew they wanted to resign Justin Fields

1706
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 7: and when that didn't work, they pivoted to Rogers.

1707
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 2: Interesting, so they tried to save Fields in Pittsburgh. Yeah,

1708
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 2: after they had benched him.

1709
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 3: They from what that was the report they wanted him for,

1710
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 3: then the trade for Stafford's second and when those fell through,

1711
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 3: then Aaron Rodgers was the third.

1712
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 2: Where was that from? Ian? Was that like a NFL?

1713
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 2: Let me find you had that report? Okay, because it

1714
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 2: just here's why you're not buying that one. No, No,

1715
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,799
Speaker 2: I'm not, I'm not doubting it. It just it wouldn't

1716
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense to me that you would

1717
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 2: go fight to bring back the dude that you bingched.

1718
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 2: Justin Fields didn't get hurt, like Justin Field didn't get injured.

1719
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 2: They chose Russell Wilson over him whenever Russell Wilson got healthy, right,

1720
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 2: And maybe maybe the thought was we could hide you know,

1721
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: Justin Fields for another year, but it was it was

1722
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter. Sorry to interrupt, Oh that's I mean, that's right.

1723
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's a pretty reputable source. Adam s the

1724
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: fake Adam Adam Schefter with an L instead of a

1725
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 2: C in his name. Does that surprise you at all?

1726
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 3: No, it shouldn't, because I thought they wanted to go

1727
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 3: in a different direction to begin with. I never felt, well,

1728
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 3: that was Aaron Rodgers or Bust at the beginning, But

1729
01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 3: after the other two fell through, then I could obviously

1730
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 3: see them going after Rodgers. But no, it doesn't really

1731
01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 3: surprise me that he was the third option.

1732
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 2: I guess more than anything that the interesting part of

1733
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 2: it is that I guess they were one of about

1734
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 2: three teams who their first option was trying to go

1735
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 2: get Matt Stafford. We know that was a case. Do

1736
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 2: you think that was.

1737
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 3: Do you think that was the problem why he didn't

1738
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 3: want to sign right away because he was a third

1739
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 3: option the Pittsburgh so and that never got out until now.

1740
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 3: So maybe he was all upset and hurt over the situation.

1741
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 2: I think he would. I mean, wouldn't you have to

1742
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 2: know at that point that if you've waited this long,

1743
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 2: and if you've been in the process of kind of

1744
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,600
Speaker 2: waiting it out, Arnie, wouldn't you have to envision and

1745
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 2: imagine that, Hey, there's going to be other guys that

1746
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 2: were viewed for this role before I was. I mean,

1747
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 2: don't you have to kind.

1748
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 7: Of accept that or or no, to be fair though

1749
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 7: guys he was there or that they were his third choice.

1750
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 7: It seems like as well that's trying to do. Originally

1751
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 7: resign with the Jets. People say he wanted the Vikings

1752
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:09,720
Speaker 7: and now Pittsburgh.

1753
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,160
Speaker 2: That's true too, You're right about that. Yeah, So I

1754
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 2: don't I don't know if that had any factor hint

1755
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 2: in him waiting. But I guess I guess the interesting

1756
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 2: part to me and all this aren't he is just

1757
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 2: looking back at how many options truly were out there

1758
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 2: for the Rams if they wanted to move on from

1759
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford.

1760
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely on that. I wonder what the trade would

1761
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 3: have been, what it would have involved, how much you'd

1762
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 3: have to give up to get somebody like him.

1763
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 2: The rumor is no one was willing to give up

1764
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 2: a first. I mean, that's that's what this boiled down to,

1765
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 2: is they couldn't get a first as an offer for him.

1766
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 2: But I mean, if I'm Pittsburgh and that's the guy

1767
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 2: I wanted, I mean, I'm a little part of Yeah,

1768
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 2: you are number this year. Maybe they were offering a

1769
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 2: first and it wasn't enough. But I just can't fathom

1770
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 2: that that would because you have Pittsburgh, you had the Raiders,

1771
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 2: you had two or three other teams that were talked

1772
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 2: about being in the mix for Matt Stafford. Gosh, maybe

1773
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 2: maybe Derek Carr might come back, Arnie, if he has

1774
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 2: options after one season away. But I don't. I know,

1775
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 2: it hasn't made a difference in the over underwin totals.

1776
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 2: You've heard the promo from Dan Patrick, I'm sure, but

1777
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 2: even Todd Ferman told us right in our final thirty

1778
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:24,599
Speaker 2: seconds here, they were already kind of baked in believing

1779
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 2: the day that Aaron Rodgers was going to be the

1780
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 2: guy there right now.

1781
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 3: I don't even think there's gonna be much movement on

1782
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 3: the betting line now that it's become official.

1783
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 2: I think most people understood that anyway, agreed. All right,

1784
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,719
Speaker 2: when we come back to the Fox Sports Radio studios,

1785

Speaker 3: the show?

1807
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: Can we start doing that? Or what? Sure? I mean

1808
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: it's it might take a process. It would involve you

1809
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 2: actually maybe like turning on a camera during the show. Well,

1810
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 2: how else do you think that they would see us? Say,

1811
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 2: turn on a camera? Do I like you're a computer

1812
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 2: camera that's on your lap? Do you use a laptop

1813
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:57,839
Speaker 2: during the show? No? Okay, do you use your phone?

1814
01:21:58,760 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 4: No?

1815
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 2: Did? What do you think that were just like magically

1816
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,439
Speaker 2: going to show up in Vermont with some cameras for you?

1817
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 2: I got a camera, I got a camera in front

1818
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 2: of me, So then turn it on and then I'll

1819
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 2: turn mine on and we'll just do our show on

1820
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 2: YouTube or something? Why not? And people will watch us

1821
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 2: as we do the show, right? Sure? Yeah, it'd be

1822
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 2: the first time we'd see each other while we're doing

1823
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:20,719
Speaker 2: the show.

1824
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I've never even seen you in person.

1825
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 2: I know. It's crazy. Same here right in that while

1826
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 2: I still wait, hold on, hold on, did I just skip?

1827
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 2: You have a camera that's sitting right in front of you,

1828
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 2: but you don't have a laptop or I have a

1829
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 2: computer screen that has a camera. It's not a laptop though,

1830
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 2: six and one hand, half a dozen and the other.

1831
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 2: So you're on like an old, old school desktop computer. Yes, yes, okay,

1832
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 2: old school, old school computer. I'm gonna have to update

1833
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 2: my stuff. My radio equipment's good, I have sure, Yeah,

1834
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 2: sounds great. Yeah, but I don't, uh my my computer,

1835
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,400
Speaker 2: I need update. That's all right, Well, maybe we can

1836
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 2: make that happen. We'll have to talk to the powers

1837
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 2: that be there at Fox Sports ready to see if

1838
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 2: they can give us a password we can easily live stream.

1839
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'd be simple to figure it out. Yeah,

1840
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 2: but then I got to look decent and stuff. I can't.

1841
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: Why yeah, why, I mean, it's it's what time is

1842
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 2: it on the East Coast? It's nie, Yeah, I mean,

1843
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's really gonna judge you by what

1844
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 2: you're wearing. And knowing you, you'll probably sell a different

1845
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 2: T shirt to a different company in Vermont. So you

1846
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 2: wear what was the place you took your family to

1847
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 2: the in laws the beer company? Yeah, yeah, you'll probably

1848
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 2: have like a Burlington beer company happen. I wear for

1849
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 2: an hour and then the year. Yeah, exactly, so that

1850
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 2: way you can get a better deal the next time

1851
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: you go eat there, I can see that eat idea.

1852
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 3: Now I wore my New York Knicks warm up shirt

1853
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 3: or something like.

1854
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 2: That there you Go shirt, and then they could be like, hey,

01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 2: look at that guy. He looks good in that shirt.

1856
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 2: Maybe we should have him come down and shoot some

1857
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 2: shots and see if he can add something to our roster.

1858
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 2: Let's go. I gotta go to a game next year, man,

1860
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,559

1867
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 2: I don't remember. It has been way too long. But

1868
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: yet you're always going to go to a place, and

1869
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 2: now you're going Laker games. Went to a lot of

1870
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:26,719

1871
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 2: years now.

1872
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 3: Well, I went to like Lake Monsters's account. That's like

1873
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 3: Single Way Baseball.

1874
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 2: I'll allow it, but I mean just professional major league,

1875
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 2: big league stuff. It's been a minute, right, Yeah, it's

1876
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 2: been a while. So now you see why we question

1877
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 2: every moment. You're like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go

1878
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,400

1879
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 2: NFL games. That's like a bother. That's an ass on that.

1880
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Why is that?

1881
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,759
Speaker 3: Well, that just takes all day. I mean, that's all

1882
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 3: day event. I can't do that way too long for me,

1883
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:56,639
Speaker 3: I can't pull.

1884
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 2: College football is the same, not.

1885
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 3: Really, especially if you get like a late kids.

1886
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,719
Speaker 2: When was the last time he went to a college

1887
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 2: football game in person?

1888
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:07,760
Speaker 3: It's been a while on that one too. I guess

1889
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 3: Arizona when I was in college.

1890
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 2: Then, right, when you're in college, you haven't been to

1891
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 2: one recently. College college games are painted the but to

1892
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 2: try to get in and out of. Most of them

1893
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 2: are in small towns. So you got you live on campus,

1894
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 2: but you don't live on campus. Yeah, not anymore, not anymore. Yeah,

1895
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 2: it's different when you're a student already that was thirty

1896
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: years ago and stumble out that's it there. Yeah, oh

1897
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 2: my gosh, all right, we hit some of these tweets

1898
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 2: here before we get too far gone. Douglas Wrights. Watch

1899
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,600
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers have a breakout season now that he's not

1900
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:44,679
Speaker 2: with the Jets, because, as Jason Smith says, the Jets

1901
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:45,759
Speaker 2: can't have nice things.

1902
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 3: No, he's not going to break out. He's not gonna

1903
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 3: have a fine season. I think he's gonna be really

1904
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 3: slow out of the gate. I think age is going

1905
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 3: to catch up with him. Pittsburgh's not known for having

1906
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 3: a great offense anyway. They really don't have that many

1907
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 3: weapons if you think about it. I just I'm not

1908
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 3: buying into the fact that he's going to lead him

1909
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:07,480
Speaker 3: deep into the playoffs.

1910
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 2: You know, Matt Stafford's like thirty seven too, He's thirty seven.

1911
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is forty one. I mean, we're not looking

1912
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 2: at a bunch of well, I mean, even Mahomes is

1913
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 2: starting to get up there. I'm really rooting for an

1914
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 2: early retirement from Patrick Mahomes. But I mean we're not

1915
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 2: necessarily talking about a ton of spring chickens out there

1916
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,719
Speaker 2: when it comes to the quarterbacks in this league right now.

1917
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 2: I mean, even what's Jared Goff like thirty now. Jared

1918
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 2: Goff's thirty now is my Bake's thirty now? So I

1919
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 2: mean you're you're getting there. You're getting there with a

1920
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 2: couple of the old dogs. Yeah yeah, not Rogers quite,

1921
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 2: but yeah, you are getting up there. Yeah no, no, yeah,

1922
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 2: you're not quite to forty one yet. But Ossi was right.

1923
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 2: The Steelers can have Aaron Rodgers in good luck with him.

1924
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 2: He adds, getting Aaron Rodgers with the Steelers is like

1925
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 2: finally hooking up. I'll use that term Ossi wise with

1926
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 2: your high school crush when she's forty and has four kids,

1927
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:04,799
Speaker 2: that's no, it's that unfair. He doesn't have any kids.

1928
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 2: She didn't have any kids. She would maybe a little

1929
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 2: bit chalkier, but she didn't have any kids.

1930
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 3: Are by the way, is there gonna be inundated? Are

1931
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 3: we gonna be seeing him playing every weekend? Or is

1932
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 3: it too weight for that? Who's that?

1933
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 2: Rogers and Pittsburgh? Yes, you think he's gonna take days off?

1934
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 5: No?

1935
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I meant like the networks are they

1936
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 2: gonna Oh yeah, I thought you mean he's like, hey, listen,

1937
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 2: we're playing the Colts this weekend. I'm gonna take this

1938
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:35,600
Speaker 2: Sunday off, I'm gonna go to India or something. That's right, exactly.

1939
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 3: No, No, I just meant that if if they're gonna

1940
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 3: be showing him every weekend, if Pittsburgh's gonna be like

1941
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 3: the the.

1942
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 2: Game of the week every time or something. Though, Well,

1943
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean they've already released the schedule, right, so I'm

1944
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 2: wondering if it was too eight for that or they

1945
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 2: could still make it just well they I mean, if

1946
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 2: you kind of look at the if you kind of

1947
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 2: look at the way it shook out, it was almost

1948
01:27:55,880 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 2: as if even the TV networks, you know, air ya.

1949
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 2: I mean with the way that they kind of put

1950
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 2: things together early on in their schedule. Uh, They've got

1951
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 2: the they put the Week eight game against the Packers

1952
01:28:10,200 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night Football, you know, so I get it,

1953
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 2: Steelers Packers is always going to be a big game.

1954
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 2: But eh, you know they got the prime video game

1955
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 2: in Week seven with the with the Bengals. You know

1956
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 2: everyone's going to be all over that Week one game

1957
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 2: against the Jets. So right, I think the NFL kind

1958
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 2: of knew what it was doing whenever they made Pittsburgh schedules.

1959
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 3: I don't don't you think yeah, Well, do they have

1960
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,679
Speaker 3: a lot of like Sunday night Monday night games or not?

1961
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 2: Really? Oh? I mean, I'll go look here real quick.

1962
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 3: I just think, yeah, I don't think they have the

1963
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 3: prime sluts like that. But you're right about how the

1964
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 3: NFL had them to play the Jets week one and

1965
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 3: stuff like that, that that they did on purpose.

1966
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. Let's see they are on

Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm giving the spart start time

1980
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:40,720
Speaker 2: Week seven against the Bengals in Cincinnati, and then Week

1981
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 2: eight against Green Bay is on NBC. Week ten against

1982
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 2: the Chargers is Sunday Night Football, and then Week fifteen

1983
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 2: against Miami is Monday Night Football, and then of course

1984
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 2: that flex game is Week eighteen. And let's not forget

1985
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:58,640
Speaker 2: you start flex scheduling. I think what is that now?

1986
01:29:58,720 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 2: Week six, week seven?

1987
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 3: Right?

1988
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 2: And if they're good, they could be flexing and more

1989
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 2: those Sunday night games.

1990
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,160
Speaker 3: And if they're bad, they'll take about there. How do

1991
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:05,920
Speaker 3: you think they're gonna be?

1992
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 4: Though?

1993
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,679
Speaker 3: You think Pittsburgh's could have a good year with him,

1994
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 3: you buy it into.

1995
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 2: That or what. I don't think the Pittsburgh Steelers are

1996
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 2: as bad as you do. I mean, they're always there.

1997
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 2: Their defense is still incredible. You got too the best

1998
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 2: defensive players in the NFL, you know, and Mink and

1999
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick and if not maybe the best player in TJ.

2000
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 2: Watt Cam Hayward has been doing it for fourteen years.

2001
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 3: Brutal division though, brutal, that's it.

2002
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 2: That's it, right. You're playing a tough division. And let's

2003
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 2: remember it's not like the Bengals were lighting the world

2004
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 2: on fire last year. Either, true, you don't know what

2005
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:42,719
Speaker 2: you're gonna get in Cleveland, so you say brutal division.

2006
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 2: But let's say the Ravens for now. But Joe Burrow,

2007
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 2: I just don't know. You've got DK Metcalf, you brought

2008
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 2: in Robert Woods. I like their tight ends. I just

2009
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,040
Speaker 2: worry about the weapons they have. And maybe it works

2010
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 2: out perfectly because in that instance, you have your one,

2011
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 2: your number one guy, and you gotta focus so much

2012
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 2: attention on it. Maybe it opens up things for some

2013
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 2: of these other dudes.

2014
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 3: Gonna be weird seeing them in the Pittsburgh uniform, you know,

2015
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 3: just wasn't so weird seeing them in a jet's uniform.

2016
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's gonna be weird. I you know what, I oddly

2017
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 2: agree with you. I don't know why. I just it's

2018
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 2: it's one of those things where I think you're I

2019
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:21,200
Speaker 2: think you're right. It's it doesn't make a lot of sense.

2020
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,000
Speaker 2: But like Joe Montana in a Chiefs uniform. You know,

2021
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 2: but see even with with Joe Montana, Arnie, even with

2022
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 2: Joe Montana, I mean, he still took him to like

2023
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 2: the AFC Championship or at least on the cusp of it.

2024
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,639
Speaker 2: So I found this to be an interesting, just kind

2025
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 2: of random cross shot across the bow nuke rights. I

2026
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 2: don't understand why you guys think ratings talk is good radio.

2027
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:53,719
Speaker 2: There are better topics to discuss, guys. Well, I agree,

2028
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 2: but I also think it's a major story in this

2029
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. Yeah, couldn't couldn't agree more. Maybe it's a

2030
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 2: little bit higher on the Roman numeral rundown than it

2031
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,840
Speaker 2: should be because Arnie likes to troll me because I

2032
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:10,839
Speaker 2: respect Okay, see, No, it's a major story.

2033
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 3: I cut a bunch him in order I start with

2034
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:16,680
Speaker 3: the basketball, and after the Pacer game, I decided to

2035
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,600
Speaker 3: go to the ratings and then Doris Perks story and

2036
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 3: stuff like that.

2037
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 2: The the only reason I had him at number two.

2038
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 3: And maybe he's right, maybe the average person doesn't care

2039
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:26,919
Speaker 3: about ratings.

2040
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 2: I find it interesting. I know you're fascinated. Oh, I'm

2041
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 2: fascinated by it. But I have found that whenever people

2042
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 2: take shots, it's like, well, you do is talk about

2043
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:38,439
Speaker 2: TV and TV ratings and you're like, well, I mean,

2044
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 2: it's a major story. It's part of being it's part

2045
01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 2: of the sports world. Nowadays. I you know, if I

2046
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 2: was doing the Roman numeral rundown, Yeah, if I was

2047
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:50,600
Speaker 2: in charge of fake producing the show, like Arnie, you're not,

2048
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 2: I would have had the college sports settlement all over it.

2049
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 2: I think that's a major story, her dad's.

2050
01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:00,680
Speaker 3: Story so much this week or this week and well,

2051
01:33:00,680 --> 01:33:03,080
Speaker 3: I mean it just it just yeah on Friday, so

2052
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:05,640
Speaker 3: I would hope so this weekend, I'm like, really, do

2053
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:07,680
Speaker 3: we want to get into that when we had the

2054
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:08,600
Speaker 3: game finishing up?

2055
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 2: But you're right, I probably should have put that in

2056
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 2: the run. No, no, no, well I don't pay attention to

2057
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:14,800
Speaker 2: your rundown anyway. The thing that I find interesting is

2058
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:19,439
Speaker 2: that it's it's still we've been waiting on it for

2059
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 2: so long, and it's an incredibly seismic shift in how

2060
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,680
Speaker 2: college sports operates. But yeah, it's so damn boring you

2061
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 2: talk about dude, it's just like wow, I mean, you know,

2062
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 2: it's like out board the tears. I don't want to

2063
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 2: hear it. I could say I waited on Friday night

2064
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 2: and until the final segment, and even as I was

2065
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 2: mentioning it, I was like, it's like, just it's not

2066
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 2: real exciting. Do you want to get its salary cap

2067
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 2: and percentage of allocations. And if it's sports and we

2068
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 2: talked about the College Sports Commission versus real Uh what

2069
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 2: it's the term here? Hold on organic? Nil, authentic Nil.

2070
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just I don't know how some of

2071
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 2: these administrators I don't. I mean they're smart, but I

2072
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 2: don't know how. The great joke is one stays awake

2073
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 2: during some of these meetings. He has to be.

2074
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 3: I think that's why I didn't put it into I'm like,

2075
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 3: you know what, I don't feel like talking about that.

2076
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 2: I don't care. I can listen. It's important, it matters,

2077
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:16,880
Speaker 2: but it's just so damn boring though. Julian Wright's just roller,

2078
01:34:17,320 --> 01:34:21,479
Speaker 2: you know, okay see will be NBA Champs. Too close

2079
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,759
Speaker 2: to lose this after all this year, after all these years,

2080
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 2: after all these years they've they've basically been an okay

2081
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:31,519
Speaker 2: see for just over a decade.

2082
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean to say, like, what three years now? Come on, man,

2083
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:36,240
Speaker 3: stop that really you haven't suffered.

2084
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you got it. I mean, if you think

2085
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:41,680
Speaker 2: about it, there might not be in the history Baltimore

2086
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 2: the Ravens might be a good example, right, but in

2087
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 2: the history of Oklahoma City being in the Sonics being

2088
01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 2: the thun of Oklahoma City. The first year was two

2089
01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 2: thousand and nine. I mean, it's not really been that long.

2090
01:34:55,920 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 2: And by the two thousand and ten twenty eleven season,

2091
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 2: they were in the conference finals. In their fourth year

2092
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City, they played for a championship. I mean,

2093
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 2: that's pretty good run. And then we're consistently in the

2094
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 2: playoffs up until Kevin Durant left in twenty twenty. There

2095
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,000
Speaker 2: was a three year tank, maybe two and a half,

2096
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 2: and then they're back in the playoffs. I mean, it's

2097
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 2: a pretty incredible run for a short amount of time,

2098
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:25,760
Speaker 2: at least in my opinion, for a franchise that I

2099
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 2: said ten, what fourteen seasons? It's fifteen seasons. Unbelievable. By

2100
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 2: the way, are you.

2101
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:35,759
Speaker 3: Are you allowed to celebrate if you're a long time

2102
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 3: player or fan of the Seattle SuperSonics or no.

2103
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 2: Well, I say yes, but they don't want to. I think,

2104
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 2: in fact, I'm a little bit disappointed. There is a

2105
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 2: really good contributor to the program that will fire off

2106
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 2: about eight texts in a row about the disdain and

2107
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 2: the hate for the Thunder based on the way the

2108
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 2: things ended in Seattle. Now you want to get people

2109
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 2: riled up, you say, hey, man, Oklahoma City fans get mad,

2110
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 2: and then Seattle fans get mad. But I'm like sure,

2111
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:08,640
Speaker 2: I mean I'd celebrated they were your team, and they

2112
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:12,799
Speaker 2: got moved here was it? Was it? I mean thirty

2113
01:36:12,840 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 2: how they came here. I mean, that's for someone else

2114
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 2: to decide. I just know that Oklahoma City proved they

2115
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:19,680
Speaker 2: could host a team and be the home for a

2116
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 2: team whenever New Orleans came here and they embraced the Hornets.

2117
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 2: And then when New Orleans went back, they got hungry

2118
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 2: for an NBA franchise. They made the upgrades necessary on

2119
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 2: the arena and aartie. They're building a brand new arena

2120
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,680
Speaker 2: downtown Oklahoma City. They're not going anywhere.

2121
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 3: A major city like Seattle that we've not replaced them

2122
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 3: with an NBA team after all these years, I thought

2123
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,160
Speaker 3: for sure they would have had one to two by now.

2124
01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 3: There's too much of a major city not to have

2125
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:48,320
Speaker 3: an NBA team up there.

2126
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, too much ja.

2127
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 3: By the way, that was a historic franchise that Seattle had.

2128
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a big time a team that

2129
01:36:57,479 --> 01:36:59,439
Speaker 3: they had with the Seattle SuperSonics.

2130
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 2: The NBA Finals in nineteen ninety six, won the NBA

2131
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 2: Finals in nineteen seventy nine with Do you remember who

2132
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 2: the star was on that nineteen seventy nine team, Jack

2133
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 2: Sickma Dennis Johnson. Dennis was Jack sickmaon on that team. Yeah,

2134
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 2: I believe. So let me look at their starting line

2135
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 2: up here real quick, I Believeington. Yeah, the point old

2136
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:22,719
Speaker 2: point guard for the Celtics that had the great run. Rip.

2137
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's I mean, that's a historic franchise.

2138
01:37:27,439 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 2: Where where's the next numbers? Some of them I kick

2139
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. Well, I figured you

2140
01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 2: would know them all whenever I brought them up. But

2141
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:40,759
Speaker 2: the nineteen seventy nine NBA Finals. Do you even remember

2142
01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:45,519
Speaker 2: who they beat in the nineteen seventy nine NBA Finals? No,

2143
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:50,880
Speaker 2: they call it the most forgotten championship in NBA history.

2144
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 2: Whenever they won the NBA Finals over the Washington Bullets,

2145
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 2: Gus Williams, Jack Sigma DJ. I mean, just what an

2146
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 2: incredible run. So yeah, people don't like to talk about it, now,

2147
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 2: aren't you they? They they keept mad? Here? You want

2148
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 2: to you want some names on that squad? Real quick?

2149
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 2: I mentioned Gus Williams. Paul Silas was on that team.

2150
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 2: I think former Celtic Lonnie Shelton, Yeah, former New York

2151
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 2: Nick I remember Lennie Shelton. Was it Tom Legarde or

2152
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 2: Tom Leguard, I don't remember, think it was Tom mcguard,

2153
01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:32,719
Speaker 2: but yeah, Fred Brown was on that team. Downtown. Freddie

2154
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 2: Brown was on that squad. Yeah, and the they didn't

2155
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 2: have a first round pick that year, but in the

2156
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 2: second round they took James Lee out of Kentucky. So

2157
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 2: there you go. Just I've got no right, but I

2158
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:49,640
Speaker 2: feel like, and I'd mentioned Jack Sigma. I feel like

2159
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:52,800
Speaker 2: they all should embrace it. But I understand why they don't.

2160
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 2: And I and because it got so hostile between Seattle

2161
01:38:57,080 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 2: fans that were po that was coming to Oklahoma City,

2162
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,599
Speaker 2: then Oklahoma City that were getting mad, that would get mad.

2163
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 2: It's like it's our team now, A's like your city sucks, well,

2164
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:07,120
Speaker 2: your city couldn't keep them. You know all these things

2165
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 2: that you know lead to adversity and strife. I just

2166
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, let bygones be bygones. Seattle never got

2167
01:39:14,160 --> 01:39:16,640
Speaker 2: another team. I don't know if anyone's knocking on the

2168
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:18,280
Speaker 2: door to make it happen. I feel like when we

2169
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 2: talked about there was.

2170
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 3: A big name, one of the big rich guys was

2171
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 3: talking about bringing the team back up the Seattle I

2172
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 3: can't remember.

2173
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:26,639
Speaker 2: Was it the guy that on an oracle? I can't

2174
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 2: remember off the top of my head. Maybe, But I'm

2175
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 2: just saying. I mean, when you hear about expansion in

2176
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 2: the NBA, you hear about Vegas, and you hear about Nashville. Yes,

2177
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 2: and I wish you'd hear more about Seattle. I think

2178
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 2: did they deserve a franchise? And you know what also sucks.

2179
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 2: If they just could have made it one more year,

2180
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 2: they were really good. If they could have made it

2181
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 2: one more year, they were really good, and I think

2182
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 2: that would have made all the difference in the world.

2183
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:50,839
Speaker 2: But they didn't.

2184
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 3: I am not that was what a stadium issue?

2185
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 2: Is that what it was?

2186
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 6: That was?

2187
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, that's right. It was a stadium issue

2188
01:39:57,520 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 2: and they couldn't get things worked out in time, all right.

2189
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 2: Jason Rights As an NHL fan, the Stanley Cup Finals

2190
01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:06,160
Speaker 2: has been so much fun. Two games both going over

2191
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 2: time and the Oilers trying to end twenty three seasons

2192
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 2: without a championship. For Canada, I'm glued for them. I

2193
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 2: want to see. I'm glued. What a great finish on Friday? Huh?

2194
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 2: How many? How many assists? Paul coffee? After that? Are

2195
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 2: you really doing this? After week? People fired up? And

2196
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,799
Speaker 2: you're wrong. It was Yari Curry who had the most assistance.

2197
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 2: I played NHL ninety four the other night. I was

2198
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 2: so into hockey. There you go? Can I read? Can

2199
01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:35,840
Speaker 2: I read Douglas's real quick?

2200
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,080
Speaker 3: It says I understand why Arnie doesn't go to too

2201
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:39,759
Speaker 3: many sporting events living in Vermont.

2202
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:40,639
Speaker 2: I live in.

2203
01:40:40,640 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 3: Southern Vermont, and it takes me three hours just to

2204
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 3: get to Boston and see a Red Sox game.

2205
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,800
Speaker 2: So there you go. What just the there's the amount

2206
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:51,760
Speaker 2: of time to get there? Yeah, I mean this is

2207
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 2: all you have to get a hotel and you got

2208
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 2: to do that whole thing.

2209
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 11: Bro.

2210
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 2: I live in Oklahoma, Okay, I'm a three hour drive

2211
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 2: to anything major League Baseball, if not more. If I

2212
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 2: want to go, I go. I think that's soft Douglas.

2213
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:08,400
Speaker 2: I think that's soft Arnie. I think guy three hours

2214
01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 2: is And again, I love road trips too. It's not

2215

2217
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 2: Live a little.

2218
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,439
Speaker 3: You You missed the name on that Seattle team, Mike

2219
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:23,959
Speaker 3: sends in, Oh, yeah, Marvin Webster, remember him, the human Eraser?

2220
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 2: Marvin Webster, the human human Eraser.

2221
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 3: I think he used to also play up for the

2222
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:31,280
Speaker 3: New York Knicks, if I remember correctly.

2223
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he was on that team.

2224
01:41:33,479 --> 01:41:36,879
Speaker 3: Okay, well, Marvin Well, I remember him, well, the human Eraser.

2225
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:38,599
Speaker 2: They used to call him. You don't remember that guy?

2226
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 2: I know, I remember him. I just they don't have

2227
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 2: him here on the roster. That I was great nicknamed

2228
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:47,559
Speaker 2: the human Eraser. I mean, I'd go with that nickname

2229
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:50,639
Speaker 2: all the time. I think that's what it was. If

2230
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:52,400
Speaker 2: that you don't even know? Do you know who their

2231
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:55,439
Speaker 2: first round pick was? The following season, they took Vinnie

2232
01:41:55,479 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 2: the Microwave Johnson, Oh, get out of here. The Seattle

2233
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:02,640
Speaker 2: SuperSonics in nineteen seventy nine won the NBA title, and

2234
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:05,599
Speaker 2: somehow for the nineteen seventy nine NBA draft had both

2235
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:10,280
Speaker 2: the sixth and seventh picks in the draft. How does

2236
01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 2: that happen? I love that? I love it all right.

2237
01:42:12,760 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 2: I had two other tweets I wanted to get you

2238
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,879
Speaker 2: before we grab a break. By the way at Stinking

2239
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 2: Genius One, I'm at playing show. Everybody go follow us

2240
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 2: At Fox Sports Radio, Darryl brings up a great point

2241
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:25,759
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City sneak into the playoffs even after dreft

2242
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 2: To left and Russ starred at stat Padding. They gifted

2243
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 2: him an MVP for averaging a triple double despite the

2244
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 2: mediocre record. I sure would like to see Indiana pull

2245
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 2: this thing off. That would be great. Well I wouldn't,

2246
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 2: but I do. I mean, it's kind of interesting because

2247
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:45,559
Speaker 2: the season that still blows my mind about OKC is

2248
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 2: Sam Presty had decided that listen the best way to

2249
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 2: try to get back to where they are after Kevin

2250
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,720
Speaker 2: Durant and Kevin Durant left for Golden State, they won

2251
01:42:54,760 --> 01:43:00,680
Speaker 2: their titles. Russell Westbrook had his MVP season in twenty seventeen,

2252
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:03,639
Speaker 2: but they realized they're not getting anywhere. Yeah, that three

2253
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:05,840
Speaker 2: straight first round exits. I think it was four straight

2254
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 2: first round exits. So they made the trade of Westbrook

2255
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 2: right after getting bringing in Paul George and I winning

2256
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:16,600
Speaker 2: a damn thing, and they brought in Chris Paul and

2257
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 2: they actually had a pretty good season. They they made

2258
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs and they were gonna start this tank, and

2259
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:26,040
Speaker 2: they had a pretty good season. But after the Chris

2260
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 2: Paul season of twenty twenty, they leaned right into I

2261
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 2: think that was the COVID year. That's whenever they went

2262
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:34,960
Speaker 2: to Billy Donovan and said, Okay, buddy, we're just not tanking.

2263
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 2: We're like super tanking. We're like gonna start dudes you've

2264
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 2: never heard of before. So if you went out, now's

2265
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 2: the time to get out. And they went three years

2266
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 2: where Arnie they were really really bad, twenty two and fifty,

2267
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 2: twenty four and fifty eight. Mark Dagnall like they had

2268
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:53,000
Speaker 2: SGA through all of this, taking the growing pains, and

2269
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 2: then things started to turn a bit. So my question

2270
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 2: to you is, how is it that this tank has worked?

2271
01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 2: We're so many others have failed.

2272
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the Philadelphia fans. I mean, this is

2273
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 3: what they were hoping they were going to get when

2274
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:08,800
Speaker 3: they said trust the process. But that's right, it was

2275
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,720
Speaker 3: a big blow up. It never turned into anything like this.

2276
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:14,880
Speaker 3: This was the real trust your process. Yeah, and look

2277
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:15,719
Speaker 3: what it turned into.

2278
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 2: You know, it took. It took maybe and I'm maybe

2279
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 2: getting a little lucky with Shay Gilgess Alexander becoming the star, right,

2280
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 2: maybe getting a little lucky on that front. And Arnie

2281
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,439
Speaker 2: I would also add, you know you took a chance

2282
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,080
Speaker 2: with chet Holmgrin. Yes, well you had other options there

2283
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:33,840
Speaker 2: at number two overall, and they took col Grind and

2284
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:35,720
Speaker 2: he's ended up being a good player. You hit on

2285
01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 2: Jalen Williams Jada in that same draft. So, I don't know,

2286
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 2: It's just it's a pretty wild story when you look

2287
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 2: at the seventy six ers. I mean even the Rockets

2288
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 2: to a certain extent, I think are seeing some promise

2289
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 2: from it, right, Detroit, Right, how long have they been

2290
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 2: trying to dig out of their tank? Right? Even the

2291
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:54,680
Speaker 2: Super super Sonics, I'm sorry, even the Spurs, right, the

2292
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:59,080
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs, Adam, It's just wild. Whenever you think

2293
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 2: about how this team went from being as bad as

2294
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 2: they were like three, like four or five years ago

2295
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:07,000
Speaker 2: and where they are, you know, Ted one in the

2296
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:09,559
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. It's pretty incredible, all right. We do have

2297
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,719
Speaker 2: to break when we come back, a lot of good stuff,

2298
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 2: a lot of good stuff from the Twitter machine at

2299
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,200
Speaker 2: stinking Genius one. I'm at playing show. Everyone go follow

2300
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,840
Speaker 2: us at Fox Sports Radio. But there was one Roman

2301
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,600
Speaker 2: numeral on here that we haven't talked about yet, and

2302
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 2: I call it the Great one eighty. We'll dive into

2303
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:31,439
Speaker 2: it next on Fox Sports Radio. All right, it's already

2304
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,000
Speaker 2: in playing, coming to you live for the Fox Sports

2305
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 2: Radio studios. Mary's got some jams cooking to night. I

2306
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: love it. I love it, Mary Mack running the show,

2307
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, our producer Martin Wise crushed it on updates.

2308
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:50,719
Speaker 2: He'll be in all night long, Arnie, Roman numeral number seven.

2309
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 2: I believe what I want to talk about here, right

2310
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:56,519
Speaker 2: we uh, we're gonna get you some postgame reaction. You'll

2311
01:45:56,520 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 2: hear from Mark Dagnault, you'll hear from Shay Gil just Alexander.

2312
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:02,680
Speaker 2: You'll hear from Jalen Williams. After the thunder win one

2313
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 2: twenty three to one oh seven, SGA had thirty four points.

2314
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 2: I think we're walking to Indianapolis, Indiana for Game three

2315
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 2: of this series, because what is it Wednesday when they're

2316
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:14,760
Speaker 2: finally gonna play again? Is that right?

2317
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:18,640
Speaker 3: But so yeah, by the way, there was a bet

2318
01:46:18,800 --> 01:46:21,360
Speaker 3: that you could bet that SJ would have thirty plus

2319
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:23,560
Speaker 3: points every.

2320
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:26,920
Speaker 2: Game right, what and you get like, I think it

2321
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 2: was close to three to one on something like that.

2322
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 2: What did you think I would have taken it? Of course,

2323
01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:34,599
Speaker 2: I've watched him every game this year, so I kind

2324
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,479
Speaker 2: of think thirty is easy. I mean he's two for two. Yeah,

2325
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 2: he's two for two. He's only scored I think he's

2326
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:44,759
Speaker 2: only scored under thirty what ones in the last few games?

2327
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 2: Is that right? So? Where did you take it? No?

2328
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:50,360
Speaker 2: What am I told you? Don't gamble?

2329
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 3: I didn't take it, But I'm like, I don't know

2330
01:46:54,080 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 3: if I do it for every game, especially you know,

2331
01:46:57,400 --> 01:47:00,760
Speaker 3: if you you're getting blown out on the road and

2332
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:01,679
Speaker 3: maybe you're getting.

2333
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 2: Sitt a little bit for game three, because it's like,

2334
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 2: do you expect him to get blown out on the road? No,

2335
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:05,840
Speaker 2: I don't.

2336
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:07,479
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think

2337
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:09,280
Speaker 3: they'll get blown out. I think they'll be two close

2338
01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:10,559
Speaker 3: games the next two games.

2339
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:12,719
Speaker 2: I think I think we're gonna have two really good games.

2340
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:16,599
Speaker 2: So stuff at all, you small market nerds. But we'll

2341
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 2: hear from the stars in a bit. But last week

2342
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,919
Speaker 2: you made it very clear Ian Roddy is my witness.

2343
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 2: Do you don't want Giannis with the Knicks. No, didn't.

2344
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 2: We still feel that way, Yes, still feel that way,

2345
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 2: even with all the buzz building that the Knicks are

2346
01:47:32,840 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 2: going to put together a massive offer to try to

2347
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 2: go get him.

2348
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 3: I feel the buzz is when you first texted me

2349
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 3: earlier in the week, that was buzz man he was

2350
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 3: going to come. But then again, since that first report,

2351
01:47:46,120 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 3: I've been hearing more about Toronto, more Detroit, more Miami more.

2352
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:53,560
Speaker 3: That also one report that he was gonna stay in

2353
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 3: Milwaukee all before he would come to the New York Knicks.

2354
01:47:57,160 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 3: So I think the Knicks are like a fourth or

2355
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 3: fifth option right now.

2356
01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 2: According to I mean, listen, I'm gonna give credit where

2357
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 2: credit is due, even though I don't know half these people.

2358
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 2: But Jake Fisher on Bleacher Report said that the ante

2359
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:16,720
Speaker 2: Ta Coompo trade market is very quiet and teams are

2360
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 2: increasingly coming to the idea that he is not going

2361
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,600
Speaker 2: to hit the open market. Are and he is not

2362
01:48:24,280 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 2: going to hit the open market. One league source echoed that,

2363
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 2: telling NBC Sports that his team was in a weight

2364
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:36,720
Speaker 2: and CE mode and whatever decision that Giannis and the

2365
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:41,040
Speaker 2: Bucks make, it will likely be closer to the NBA Draft, which,

2366
01:48:41,080 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 2: by the way, I guess you've got to give kudos

2367
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 2: to the NBA because they really don't mess around. Like

2368
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:50,360
Speaker 2: the draft is literally on June twenty fifth. I mean,

2369
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 2: it's like sixteen days away. They're going to wrap the

2370
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:55,200
Speaker 2: final up and then we're gonna have the draft that

2371
01:48:55,360 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 2: next week. So if it's gonna we're only talking sixteen days.

2372
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 2: But I think what I've found, at least in my

2373
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:05,759
Speaker 2: opinion on he since the middle of the night James

2374
01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 2: Harden trade to Houston, Like what we're going back eleven

2375
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 2: twelve years ago, you're not really sneaking things in. Honestly, Well,

2376
01:49:14,000 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 2: I say that as the Luka Doncich trade kind of

2377
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 2: came out of nowhere exactly, but whenever it's somebody who,

2378
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 2: like Luca, had never been talked about being traded. But

2379
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:27,280
Speaker 2: we've heard talk about Yannis maybe wanning out for a

2380
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:30,559
Speaker 2: couple of years now, right, So this isn't really anything new.

2381
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 2: So I wonder, I wonder if I don't think they'll

2382
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 2: be able to sneak one in is what I'm They're

2383
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to Luka. This thing where all

2384
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden, one minute, you wake up it's like,

2385
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:43,559
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, Yannis is a rocket or something like that, right, No,

2386
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 2: I understand.

2387
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:45,880
Speaker 3: I think they'll do that with Kevin Durant though, I

2388
01:49:45,880 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 3: think he's gonna get traded for too.

2389
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 2: But I also think that's gonna be one that we're

2390
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:51,920
Speaker 2: gonna sit around and wait for a while to figure

2391
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 2: out who what's he worth and who's gonna give up

2392
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:54,559
Speaker 2: what for him?

2393
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:58,599
Speaker 3: Why you don't think there's you think that they're asking

2394
01:49:58,640 --> 01:49:59,760
Speaker 3: too much for him or he.

2395
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:01,280
Speaker 2: Has I just don't think they need to be in

2396
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:03,720
Speaker 2: a rush right right, because you're not going to get

2397
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,120
Speaker 2: draft picks this year for him. I mean, who really

2398
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 2: has draft picks this year that wants to go get them.

2399
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:14,519
Speaker 2: Another possibility is that there will be no bidding war,

2400
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,120
Speaker 2: that Giannis will inform the Bucks that they can only

2401
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,479
Speaker 2: trade him to one or two teams, and if a

2402
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:25,280
Speaker 2: fear deal is not found there, it will end there

2403
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 2: and he'll stay in Milwaukee. That's that is strong possibility.

2404
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,719
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that the Lakers are not an option.

2405
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 3: I always thought that when he would hit the open market,

2406
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 3: that he'd want to go to a big market like

2407
01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:42,280
Speaker 3: La and you know, maximize his true earning potential.

2408
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 2: But I guess then he has enough money. He really

2409
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:48,559
Speaker 2: doesn'tenough to go to Los Angeles for that. But again

2410
01:50:48,680 --> 01:50:51,479
Speaker 2: it's it's not necessary. There's no team being mentioned here though.

2411
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 2: That's the thing, right, I mean, he can decide, hey,

2412
01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:58,920
Speaker 2: I want to go Let's say the Thunder get beat. Okay.

2413
01:50:59,720 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 2: He can decide I'm gonna go play with Shae, and

2414
01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:05,240
Speaker 2: who has more resources to deal right now than the Thunder.

2415
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:08,679
Speaker 2: He could decide, hey, I kind of like what's going

2416
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 2: on with Lebron and Luca with the Lakers. That's where

2417
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 2: I want to go. And if you can't work something

2418
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 2: out there, then I'll just stay here. Maybe maybe he

2419
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:18,559
Speaker 2: says I want to go play with Stephanie. I mean,

2420
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:21,640
Speaker 2: all these things are possibilities, Stephen, Jimmy Butler. We just

2421
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 2: don't know right now. And the rumor is that the

2422
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 2: Knicks might come to Milwaukee and say here's what we're

2423
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:29,920
Speaker 2: willing to give up. But you're staying staunch on this

2424
01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:31,760
Speaker 2: in your mind where you're like, I don't care, I

2425
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:33,439
Speaker 2: don't want them, I don't want to give up. I

2426
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:34,400
Speaker 2: don't want to give up towns.

2427
01:51:34,439 --> 01:51:37,559
Speaker 3: I know everybody's really bitter on Towns and the way

2428
01:51:37,600 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 3: he played defense, and it certainly looks a little out

2429
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 3: of shape, but I like him, so I want to

2430
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 3: keep him around. And now you he would have to

2431
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:46,640
Speaker 3: go if you end up getting you. Honest, I got

2432
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:47,400
Speaker 3: a feeling.

2433
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think he I think he's gonna go anyway.

2434
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 2: The way the things sound right now, don't you? It's

2435
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 2: saying ty cat is it? It's unbelievable. I don't know

2436
01:51:56,640 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 2: if I've I don't know if I've seen anything. One

2437
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:04,280
Speaker 2: eighty is quick on Karl Anthony Towns as it did

2438
01:52:04,920 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 2: after the Eastern Conference Finals to where he was, Oh

2439
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 2: my gosh, look at the difference. We won the trade.

2440
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 2: Take that Minnesota, We're going to Eastern Conference Finals. All

2441
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:16,400
Speaker 2: of a sudden, after the Knicks get knocked out of

2442
01:52:16,400 --> 01:52:18,799
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals, he's not doing what he's supposed

2443
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 2: to defensively. There's whispers and he's not listening to the coach, Like, wait,

2444
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 2: how did this flip so quickly? You're areny in the

2445
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:26,599
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals and he would pick up so many

2446
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:28,000
Speaker 2: stupid foul fowls.

2447
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 3: So that was killing me. Man, it was unbelievable that

2448
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, so that golf a little bit. When

2449
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 3: you pick up three straight fouls and you're gonna pick

2450
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:38,160
Speaker 3: up the fourth before half time, what are you doing

2451
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:38,679
Speaker 3: out there?

2452
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:41,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was a pretty quick one eighty. But

2453
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:46,360
Speaker 2: put Arnie Spaniard in the camp that does not A

2454
01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 2: want to get rid of Karl Anthony Towns and B

2455
01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:54,599
Speaker 2: see the Knicks pursue Jannis at all, not at all.

2456
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 3: No, I'm let him go somewhere else. I really was

2457
01:52:57,479 --> 01:53:00,439
Speaker 3: hoping he'd go to the Lakers. I really want them to, Like, yeah.

2458
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:03,080
Speaker 2: You're ending that when it's not a possibility, when it's

2459
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:06,080
Speaker 2: not something that's over Like you're saying, well, I wanted

2460
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 2: to see him go here, but we don't know that.

2461
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:11,040
Speaker 2: That's not there's no rumors out there about it. There's

2462
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 2: no rumors about anything right now. I just read you

2463
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 2: the rumors that are out there. There's nothing. Everyone's like,

2464
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:17,920
Speaker 2: what's going on. The rumor is New York's going to

2465
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,200
Speaker 2: put together an offer and you're grinching and moaning about it.

2466
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:24,639
Speaker 2: After the game tonight, as we segue back to more

2467
01:53:25,280 --> 01:53:29,839
Speaker 2: timely topics, Rick Carlisle talked about the challenge of getting

2468
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,960
Speaker 2: points in the paint against the thunder.

2469
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:34,439
Speaker 12: They were the best in the league during the year.

2470
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 12: It's keeping people out of there, and so they're great

2471
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:41,040
Speaker 12: at it. We've got to find ways to get the

2472
01:53:41,080 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 12: ball in there, and you know, it's just there are

2473
01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 12: so many things that have to go right on a

2474
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 12: set of two possessions to get the ball into the

2475
01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 12: heart of their defense. You know, you've got to get

2476
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:57,760
Speaker 12: you've got to get a stop, a rebound, you've got

2477
01:53:57,760 --> 01:53:58,920
Speaker 12: to be able to get the ball at the floor

2478
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 12: without a turnover, and then you've got to be able

2479
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,599
Speaker 12: to get it into the lane into the rim. And

2480
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 12: it's it's a tough task. So yeah, we'll look at it.

2481
01:54:08,920 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 12: There were there were some stretches where we did some

2482
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:15,720
Speaker 12: good things attacking the paint, but there weren't enough.

2483
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:19,680
Speaker 2: I'm really surprised with the way the Thunder play, and you,

2484
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:23,840
Speaker 2: being an alleged basketball die hard, I'm really surprised you

2485
01:54:23,840 --> 01:54:27,560
Speaker 2: don't like them because of how good they played defensively.

2486
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I heard from the Pacer fans going

2487
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 3: to surprise, I don't like the Pacers considering there's two

2488
01:54:33,680 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 3: foot University of Arizona players on the in the other

2489
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 3: Pacer roster.

2490
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:40,440
Speaker 2: You know, well, this is more in me trying to

2491
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 2: appeal to that alleged basketball side that you have. You

2492
01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 2: always complain about no one plays defense. Now you have

2493
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:48,560
Speaker 2: a team that does, and you complain about it.

2494
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:51,760
Speaker 3: I'm not complaining about it. It's just that, I mean,

2495
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:54,760
Speaker 3: I'm a Knicks fan, die Hard. It's it's hard for

2496
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 3: me to just jump out another bandwagon team unless it's

2497
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:59,879
Speaker 3: the Lakers once my Knicks get eliminated.

2498
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 2: You know, I kind of like the Wake. I got

2499
01:55:01,520 --> 01:55:05,000
Speaker 2: a soft side for the Lakers. Shake Gil Just Alexander

2500
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 2: afterwards talked about for the Thunder, there's still a lot

2501
01:55:08,600 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 2: of areas they can get better. Do we just use

2502
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:12,480
Speaker 2: opportunity to get better.

2503
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 4: We've done a really good job, really good job that

2504
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 4: all year and last game is no different. Tonight is

2505
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:20,280
Speaker 4: the same thing. We did some things good. Tonight we

2506
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:22,440
Speaker 4: did something's bad, and we gotta be able to get.

2507
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 2: Better and get ready for Game two nine. Anything else

2508
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:27,840
Speaker 2: you want to add on the NBA Finals, aren't you?

2509
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:28,160
Speaker 7: No?

2510
01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:30,600
Speaker 2: I just is it over yet? Are we done with

2511
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 2: it yet?

2512
01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:31,280
Speaker 4: Or no?

2513
01:55:31,360 --> 01:55:33,160
Speaker 2: We still got a bunch of games left. Well, we

01:55:33,240 --> 01:55:36,080
Speaker 2: got another segment, so we're almost done. But just I'm

2516
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:40,919

01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:42,720

2540
01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:51,280
Speaker 3: one out in the ninth inning?

2541
01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:55,280

Speaker 2: have no problems us a text at five in the morning,

2545
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:05,360

Speaker 2: Coast clock out in the ninth.

2547
01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 3: Again, Arnie, you know, I'm very superstitious when I'm watching

2548
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 3: the games.

2549
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 2: You have no care for anyone else's schedule.

2550
01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 3: I wasn't watching it on my big screen TV, or

2551
01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:21,360
Speaker 3: I was watching it on my phone.

2552
01:57:22,200 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 2: So then it just you swipe the text up and you.

2553
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,680
Speaker 10: Get large kind of a lot of faith thinking he

2554
01:57:28,760 --> 01:57:29,720
Speaker 10: can know how to swipe the text.

2555
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:31,920
Speaker 2: That's a very good point, Mary mac that's a very

2556
01:57:31,920 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 2: good point. Well, yeah, that's uh. I guess we didn't

2557
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:36,920
Speaker 2: get to the bottom of it, except to say you

2558
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:39,960
Speaker 2: you could probably he could probably ask the same thing,

2559
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 2: why you decide to send him the roman numeral rundown

2560
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 2: at three am on Saturday when the show's all Wow,

2561
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 2: that might might help out a little bit. All right,

2562
01:57:47,240 --> 01:57:48,840
Speaker 2: steak a genius. What you got for us to night

2563
01:57:48,840 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 2: in your picks?

2564
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:51,640
Speaker 3: Let's go give me a little music, put me in

2565
01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:53,400
Speaker 3: the mood. We got a lot of games to get

2566
01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 3: to start with Gay number three with the NBA Finals.

2567
01:57:57,040 --> 01:57:59,960
Speaker 2: Oh Goopen, isn't gonna win that game? Good?

2568
01:58:00,520 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 3: The fact that the not gonna play till Wednesday is

2569
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:05,560
Speaker 3: gonna actually help them more.

2570
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:07,280
Speaker 2: Like them.

2571
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 3: Then they're gonna win Game t But Indiana bounces back

2572
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:12,760
Speaker 3: game four on a Friday night. This series is gonna

2573
01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:15,120
Speaker 3: be tied to two games apiece as they head back

2574
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 3: to Oklahoma City. Bad break for Oklahoma City. Their game

2575
01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:24,000
Speaker 3: back home is on a Monday night. No weekend game,

2576
01:58:24,040 --> 01:58:27,600
Speaker 3: no Saturday, no Sunday. What's up with that play? I

2577
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 3: don't like that at all. I thought for sure it

2578
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,000
Speaker 3: would have been on a Sunday and if I got

2579
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:35,400
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City winning in seven, so we'll stick with that.

2580
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:38,760
Speaker 3: I got my Arizona Wildcats in the.

2581
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 2: College World Series. I told you they'd win the regionals.

2582
01:58:42,600 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 2: I told you they win.

2583
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:48,400
Speaker 3: The Super Regionals and they're gonna beat Coastal Carolina Resort

2584
01:58:48,880 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 3: or whatever school they are, and then we'll go on

2585
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:53,600
Speaker 3: to win this whole thing. So I think it woulda

2586
01:58:53,640 --> 01:58:56,840
Speaker 3: been Arizona at like ten or fifteen to one when

2587
01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 3: it's all said and done, And I don't know how

2588
01:58:58,840 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 3: they're gonna do it. But the next coach for my

2589
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 3: New York Knicks, even though I thought I s a

2590
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,440
Speaker 3: report that they're not allowed to talk to them, will

2591
01:59:08,480 --> 01:59:11,440
Speaker 3: be Jason Kids. So there you have my picks, two

2592
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 3: of them, as you please. No longer strictly Fred Entertainment

2593
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 3: purposes only.

2594
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:20,560
Speaker 2: So even though the report is from who'd I say,

2595
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:24,840
Speaker 2: Mark Mark stein Stein's, even though the stein line has

2596
01:59:24,880 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 2: said it ain't happening, Arnie Spaniers here to tell you

2597
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:30,280
Speaker 2: that it is happening. Yeah, I think they're gonna end

2598
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:32,560
Speaker 2: up figuring out how to get Chason kidds. True. You

2599
01:59:32,640 --> 01:59:36,360
Speaker 2: promising that. No, I'm not promising that, that's for sure.

2600
01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna promise that at all. That's become my

2601
01:59:38,840 --> 01:59:40,760
Speaker 2: new favorite thing is when Arnie's like, oh, I promise

2602
01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 2: you it's gonna happen. I'm like, you can't promise anything.

2603
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:45,880
Speaker 3: I promise you Arizona was gonna win the regionals and

2604
01:59:45,960 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 3: the super Regionals.

2605
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you also promised me the Dolphins were going to

2606
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:51,320
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl each of the last ten years, and

2607
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 2: when I get Arizona to win the Big twelve in football,

2608
01:59:54,920 --> 01:59:57,040
Speaker 2: probably pretty good odds. Right now, I think they're gonna

2609
01:59:57,080 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 2: be picked pretty low, maybe even like next to last.

2610
02:00:00,080 --> 02:00:03,760
Speaker 2: On that front. I hate there was one Roman Numeral

2611
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:06,280
Speaker 2: thing here that I was gonna kind of tap out on.

2612
02:00:06,360 --> 02:00:08,000
Speaker 2: But I think this might be a night where I've

2613
02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:14,120
Speaker 2: hit almost all of them. Yeah, Roman Numeral three. The

2614
02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:15,880
Speaker 2: criticism of Doris Burke.

2615
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:19,080
Speaker 3: I just thought that was interesting. They it was criticism

2616
02:00:19,120 --> 02:00:23,360
Speaker 3: about taking her off the broadcast, and everybody was coming

2617
02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:26,440
Speaker 3: to her defense. It was absolutely crazy. God forbid you

2618
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:31,360
Speaker 3: should criticize Doris Burke. Everybody came to defender was unsid.

2619
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:34,400
Speaker 2: It was pretty well. When you when you literally call

2620
02:00:34,480 --> 02:00:37,000
Speaker 2: someone a foul merchant on the air and then you'd

2621
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,280
Speaker 2: go double down on it, I think you're going to

2622
02:00:39,480 --> 02:00:42,240
Speaker 2: enrage one fan base. But I got to tell you something,

2623
02:00:42,720 --> 02:00:45,520
Speaker 2: no one can save that ESPN show. Arnie the esp

2624
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:47,040
Speaker 2: I don't know I was talking to you about it.

2625
02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:49,360
Speaker 2: It's just terrible. The pregame and post game stuff is

2626
02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:51,600
Speaker 2: the worst I've ever seen. Thank God you have Ben

2627
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 2: Mallor here for your NBA post game show coming up

2628
02:00:54,600 --> 02:00:57,040
