00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: right like in the nineties, and they got really big,

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: like in the mid to late nineties. There's times I

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: remember where I played it so much where if I'm

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: just out during the day and I'm out running errands

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: like going to the dry cleaner or going to the supermarket,

32
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: I would see shapes. I would say, Oh, that's the

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: long l from Tetris. Oh that's the long one. That's

34

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: the left and two to the right. Like I would

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: see Tetris shapes in everything, kind of like Russell Crowe

37
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Beautiful Mind, Like I would see those shapes in so

38
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,120

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,200

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: What are we doing with play that?

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: We had two game boys just so we could continue

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: to play tet We could both play Tetris at the

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: same time. You know, there's like the outdoors, right, well,

46

Speaker 1: each got game boys just so we could do that,

55
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,960

56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,079

00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 4: wasn't Carlossimo.

160
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: No, it was not not a PJ. Carlesmo.

161
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: He was coaching back then. He was coaching Seaton Hall

162
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: when I was in college. Still had the great beard

163
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: PJ Carlesma.

164
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, fun.

165
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 6: Facts about Bowser. He's actually not technically a dragon or

166
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 6: a turtle. He's a copa.

167
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means.

168
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a just strictly species in Super Mario. Okay,

169
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 6: there's another fun fact. He never said it's a me

170
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 6: a Mario.

171
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: He never did. He never said that. That's like an

172
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: urban myth. He says, is sweet Mario. So it's like

173
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: when people think, oh, they quote Darth Vader and say, Luke, yes,

174
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: I am your father. I swear it happens. That's the

175
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: Mandela effect, Jason.

176
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: No, he says, no, I am your father. Your reality doesn't.

177
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I watched he said, Luke,

178
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: I am not your father. That did not have your father.

179
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: That did not happen.

180
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 3: And now you're taking me back to really paint. We

181
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: bought a car, Pam and I bought a car probably

182
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,880

184
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,400

215
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960

00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 6: Zelda or Pokemon because those are all pretty big.

217

00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Hunt was.

220
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: Tyson punt was legendary.

221
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Way more people, way more people played Tetris and Super Mario,

222
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: way more people Snake. Oh, well, everybody played Snake when

Speaker 1: and pick a one seed to win it all. My

268
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: final four Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Saint John's and Michigan Hot and

269
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: Michigan Saint John's in the National Championship.

270
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so hot in the studio right now. It's

271
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 3: so hih.

272
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 4: Michigan because of your ties to the city of Detroit. No, well, look,

273
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: I will say, you don't take them. You're on the couch, like,

274
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: what's this situation?

275
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, Well, the thing is, when I was thinking

276
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: about picking, and I was thinking, boy, I said, I

277
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: can't pick. No, no, no, Look, Michigan, Michigan's is the

278
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: best team. Michigan and Duke are the two best teams

279
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: in college basketball. But Saint John's is so incredibly underrated

280
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: and incredibly underseated. They did him no favors by putting

281
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: them in Duke's bracket. But Saint John's is legit. I've

282
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: watched them play a lot this year. Look, I always

283
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: wanted default the teams that I've seen playing more than others.

284
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: When I'm talking about going to the final four, Saint John's.

285
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: This is a better Saint John's team than last year.

286
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: They're coming on strong at the end. They won the

287
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Big East Tournament. They're not just reliant like last year.

288
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: RJ.

289
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: Lewis really set them back and really held them back.

290
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: That's not Patino learned a lot from the lesson last year.

291
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: This is a Saint John's team that is ready to

292
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: take on March and I love them all the way

293
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: to the championship. Michigan is loaded, right, Michigan is absolutely fantastic,

294
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: and I believe in them more than I believe in

295
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: any other one. Seed liked Duke is great, but I

296
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: could see Duke going out. I look, I have Saint

297
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: John's beating too, because I think Saint John's a terrific team.

298
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: But Michigan is too loaded. They have everything you need

299
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: for a team. They are tourney ready every year. They

300
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: don't go out early in the tournament, right. Lendaborg Mara

301
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: are really good. Mar's gonna be the guy that locks

302
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: up the other guards on the other team. And Lenda

303
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: Borg is the player of the year in the Big East. Like,

304
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: this is a terrific Michigan team and they get the

305
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: second national championship in program history. They win it this year,

306
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be tough because Man, Michigan versus Saint John's.

307
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a tough game for me to pick

308
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: who I'm rooting for, because Pam's gonna be upset if

309
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm not rooting for them, and I'm gonna say, yeah,

310
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: but I grew up on Saint John's. I grew up

311
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: on Saint John's basketball and Chris moll and Walter Berry

312
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,760

Speaker 1: shut him down the rest of the season with his

469
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: knee injury. He wants to keep playing. Rick, this is

470
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: just one of those situations where I just throw my

471
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: hands up and go, dude, just ask for a trade.

472
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: All right, You're gonna have to be the bad guy

473
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: at some point ask for a trade or or or

474
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: just you know, just just stop asking ever again.

475
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: Like I feel like we've we've been going through this

476
00:19:59,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: for so long.

477
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: Both sides sort of nowhere this is going to end,

478
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: but we still very painstakingly are going forward.

479
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: So slow with this.

480
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 5: Rick, Yeah, I hear you. It does feel like that

481
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 5: the Bucks and Yannis are not on the same page

482
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 5: when it comes to anything. It's just in this instance,

483
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 5: in this circumstance, I'm like, why are we in a

484
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 5: place where a guy wants to play and we're saying no,

485
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 5: we don't want you to play. It runs counter It

486
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: feeds into everything that I think is troublesome about the

487
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 5: league right now, which is guys finding reasons not to play.

488
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 5: Talk about they're too many games, it's too challenging. I mean,

489
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 5: playing as many games as possible, earning your keep, entertaining

490
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 5: fans like I don't know what is motivating Yannis to say,

491
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 5: you know, to contest this as he is, and exactly

492
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 5: why the two sides can't sort of have a meeting

493
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: of the minds. And it seems like everything bubbles up

494
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 5: and is in the public eye with them, But when

495
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 5: it just comes to his desire to play, I'll flip

496
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 5: it back. I don't know why the Bucks would have

497
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 5: an issue with this. Why do the Bucks have a

498
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 5: problem with Giannis wanting to play out the season, regardless

499
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: of whether they're in contention or not, so in this

500
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 5: particular instance, I just feel like this is really on

501
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: the Bucks for following the current playbook, which is, you

502
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 5: know what, if you've got an injury and the games

503
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 5: don't mean anything as far as making the playoffs or positioning,

504
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 5: you know what, let's just shut it down. I can

505
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 5: tell you this Steph Curry year that he broke his hand.

506
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 5: I think it was the year that the Warriors won

507
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 5: fifteen games. There was no reason for him to come back.

508
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 5: In fact, I had somebody close to him tell me

509
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 5: he's not going to come back and play, and it

510
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 5: certainly looked like that. He got one game in I

511
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: believe before COVID shut everything down, but he was coming

512
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 5: back to play. And so I just I'm never going

513
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 5: to complain about a guy in this day and age

514
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 5: who wants to play game, who wants to play, regardless

515
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 5: of what the situation is. And wherever Milwaukee and Giannas are.

516
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: As far as their relationship, that's a different issue. But

517
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: for me, let Yanni's play. If he wants to play,

518
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 5: let him play. Any guy that wants to play, let

519
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: him play. Let him earn his money. What's the problem

520
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 5: with that?

521
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: You know?

522
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: The thing that I come back to with this rick

523
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: is that you know, look, there there are six games

524
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: back of the playing round, right and and that's not

525
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: that they have to go undefeated and Charlotte's gotta, you know,

526
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: gotta go five hundred for them to even have a

527
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: sniff at it. So if Yannas plays, it's not like

528
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: they're in danger of making the play in round. What

529
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: this tells me is that maybe they're gonna say, Okay,

530
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: the buck is stopping. In the off season, we're gonna

531
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: trade you, and we want you to be as healthy

532
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: as possible because we're looking at our future without you now,

533
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: because trading you in the off season was a lot

534
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: easier than trading you with the deadline. Could that be

535
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: where things are?

536
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 5: Uh, you know what, that's reasonable, that's reasonable thought. Certainly

537
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 5: a reasonable thought. But again that we're going to be

538
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 5: trying to determine, you know, whether guys should play or

539
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 5: not because of something that could happen, because of our

540
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: plans in the off season, because of where we're going.

541
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: I just it only adds to this idea that the

542
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 5: regular that any regular season game is kind of irrelevant.

543
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: Our plans in terms of making a trade are more important.

544
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 5: Our plans to be have a better position in the

545
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 5: lottery are more important. And if we're placing all these

546
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 5: things or giving all these things more importance than regular

547
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: season games, if that's how teams are approaching it, then

548
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 5: are we are we really in a place to complain

549
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 5: about the players not approaching it and not playing hard

550
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 5: in every game when that seems to be the mindset

551
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: of the teams.

552
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: Rick Bucker with us, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Lot from

553
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, fos from Giannis,

554
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Lakers. They have no problem in

555
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: playing their guys. Now they've won six in a row,

556
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: and look, everything is either great.

557
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: It's like the Knicks.

558
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: Everything is either incredibly great and the Lakers are winning

559
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: the title, or it's awful and everybody's gotta go. Now

560
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: Here we are after winning six in a row, Lebron

561
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: seems to be okay taking the step back and sacrificing.

562
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: Maybe it's as simple as you just needed the big

563
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: three to get some time together because they hadn't really

564
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: had time together until now because of injuries. You buying

565
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers.

566
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 5: Where they are right now in terms of being the

567
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 5: third best team in I mean, what am I buying?

568
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: Are you buying that they could be a title contender

569
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: this year?

570
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no no.

571
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: I'm duly impressed with their record, with their chemistry, and

572
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: no doubt has improved. They kind of figured out how

573
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 5: to make the most out of what they have. But again,

574
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 5: when we get to the postseason and you're playing the

575
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 5: best against the best, the ability to exploit their defense

576
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 5: is going to be there. You're going to be playing

577
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 5: against the best coaches, You're going to be playing against

578
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 5: the best talent, particularly the best offensive talent, and they

579
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: don't have they just don't have enough in terms of that.

580
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 5: I am as I said, like it is, it's very

581
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 5: impressive that they have the record that they have, that

582
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: they've stayed with it, that they figured it out. But

583
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 5: this to me is as good as there they could

584
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 5: possibly be. And when teams have an opportunity to really

585
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 5: kind of auger in and say, how are we going

586
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 5: to attack their weaknesses, there are a lot of weaknesses

587
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 5: there to attack. So it's this is kind of tough

588
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 5: for me because I'm really impressed by what the Lakers

589
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 5: have done, genuinely impressed. I just don't think it's realistic

590
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 5: to think that they can take that into the postseason.

591
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: All right, So because I've always said that, look, this

592
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: Lakers team, I'm much more excited about them next year

593
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: than I am for this year. When you get out

594
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: from under Lebron and you can spend that money and

595
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, get a three and D guy.

596
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: That you need or another you know, another rim runner

597
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: with with Luca, you know, obviously, is there any scenario

598
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: in which the Lakers finish well this year like they're

599
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: leading Houston right now early in the fourth quarter, could

600
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: win seven row, any scenario which hey, they finish well

601
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 3: enough that they go, you know, things are okay, Lebron

602
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: is sacrificing. We could sign up for another year with Lebron.

603
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: James, Well, I think they. I think they could sign

604
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 5: up with Lebron if Lebron is willing to take you know,

605
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 5: a percentage of what he's making now, if he's he's

606
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 5: making fifty plus million, I think if he was willing

607
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 5: to take less than ten or ten, I think I

608
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 5: could see them coming back. But they're you know, they've

609
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: got other free agents that they've got to deal with,

610
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 5: and this is not a great free agent market in

611
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: terms of who is available or the kind of guys

612
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 5: that they need. So that's where I think it's going

613
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 5: to be difficult for them to make some huge step.

614
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 5: And that's where it could be to your point, like

615
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 5: they end up doing really well and whatever that is,

616
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 5: I mean, that's to me, that's getting to the second round,

617
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: being competitive in the second round. That would be a

618
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 5: really good year. And maybe they're thinking, hey, if we

619
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 5: can keep everybody healthy, we bring back we re sign

620
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves, who's going to double his money at the

621
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: very least, we bring back Lebron at the right number.

622
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 5: That may be a better way to go than trying

623
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: to pick up something or overpay for something on the

624
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 5: free agent market, because there's just not a whole lot

625
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: of options there in terms of the kind of players

626
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 5: that they need.

627
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 3: All right now.

628
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: Lastly, expansion has been a big topic the last couple

629
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: of days. It seems like the league really wants to

630
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: push forward with putting teams in Vegas and Seattle. Scene

631
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: where we're at right now, and I go, oh, my goodness,

632
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: look how watered down the league is. I could say, well,

633
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: if they can make money, what does it matter. I mean,

634
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: it's not going to get any worse than it is.

635
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 5: Now.

636
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: Where are you on expansion if we go to those

637
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: two cities specifically, I don't.

638
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 5: Think it's been the last couple of days or the

639
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 5: last couple of hours. I think it's been the last

640
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: couple of years that we've been talking about this. Seattle

641
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 5: and Las Vegas was always to me, it was always

642
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: a matter of when, not if. And while we might

643
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 5: be concerned about the watering down of the overall or

644
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 5: having enough requisite talent for more teams, I would say

645
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 5: that the owners are looking at we got people that

646
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 5: are willing to pay US three billion per to have

647
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 5: an expansion team.

648
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 3: That's nice.

649
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 5: That's a nice chunk of change for US, and and

650
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 5: and that is overall, that's something that the league really

651
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 5: has moved towards. You know, they've they pulled back in

652
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 5: terms of their academies and their programs in China, the

653
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 5: Pro League in Africa there they appear to be pulling

654
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 5: back on that. There was a time where they were

655
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: sort of they were spreading the gospel of basketball, and

656
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: part of it was to create new markets and you know,

657
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: expand the the audience, but it was also like we

658
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 5: just we want to, we want to and we want

659
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: to spread the game of basketball. We want to introduce

660
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: it to places that may not have a whole lot

661
00:29:59,080 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 5: of access to it.

662
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: They've really pulled back.

663
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 5: On all those because they couldn't see the bang for

664
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: the buck, They couldn't see what the ROI was going

665
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 5: to be on their money. And now it's become how

666
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 5: do we make more money? And so expansion. While we

667
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: might worry about the quality of play, expansion, without question

668
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: will make more money. So I would fully expect that

669
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 5: it's going to happen.

670
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,680

00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 3: want to the one bit of advice I'll give you.

682

Speaker 5: I appreciate that. I needed that, Pino Yo.

683
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: See I I.

684
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I love my Michigan Saint John National Championship.

685
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: That would be outstanding. That like that, that would be

686
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the greatest national championship I could with Syracuse not in it,

687
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: That'd be the greatest national championship I could think of.

688
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: Because you're a Homer, what do you mean you would

689
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 6: love a I don't know. Let's see a Mets and

690
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 6: John James. Well they can't play in the World Series.

691
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: Why not? Well they could play in the NLCS. We

692
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 3: can change things. Okay, all right, just okay, all right?

693
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 3: If Judge can still be loved when he does nothing.

694
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: We can do this for you, he checked. Social media

695

696
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:30,800

00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.

781
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: Well, you know I love the movie Caddy Shack. You

782
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,479
Speaker 1: know this Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon. Harmon off tonight,

783
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: And one of my favorite scenes is near the end

784
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: when Roddy Dagerfield is a bad golfer in the Big Bet,

785
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: gets hitting the arm of the ball, says, oh, my arm,

786
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: it's broken.

787
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 3: He's moving his arm. I can't play anymore on my arm.

788
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: It's broken. Lakers and the Rockets seconds ago.

789
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Five minutes ago, in the fourth quarter, this game tied

790
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: at one oh five apiece, Lakers looking for their seventh

791
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: straight win. Lebron James has fouled on a breakaway layup

792
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: and he goes down and he's grabbing his right arm

793
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: like it is just like, of course, you know, Lebron,

794
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: like like like he shattered his elbow and he's gonna

795
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: lose fingers. They go look at it. They do not

796
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: rule it a flagrant foul. Didn't look like a flagrant

797
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: foul and on the sideline. This is why I bring

798
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: this up because it was so great. Lebron is sitting down,

799
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: he knows the cameras on, and he knows they're looking

800
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: at him, and he's making a shooting motion with his

801
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: right arm, like nah, am I okay, can I shoot?

802
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 3: Can I shoot?

803
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: He's got the sleeve on his arm and everything else.

804
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: He's got a sleeve on his arm. Can I shoot?

805
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Can I shoot?

806
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 3: Okay? He does it.

807
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: He does the motion a couple of times, and then

808
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: someone hands him a water bottle. He grabs it with

809
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: his right arm and just starts drinking. So obviously he's

810
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: okay if he's doing the can I shoot? Can I shoot? Oh?

811
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 3: I forgot what had to do here? Yeah, I'll take

812
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: this and just start drinking. So obviously Lebron was okay

813
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 3: because he could do that with his right arm, didn't

814
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 3: need to do the whole oh am, I can I shoot?

815
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 3: Can I shoot? So I think pretty sure Lebron is okay.

816
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 3: Frostpringer my wrong about that.

817
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 4: I'm not sure he got the right arm that was

818
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 4: hurt this time, unlike the last game where he grabbed

819
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 4: the elbow that he didn't fall.

820
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: Off right, right, he grabbed the other elbow. You gotta remember,

821
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: you gotta be consistent when you grab a certain part

822
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: of your body that that's the one that's injured. I mean,

823
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: at least he grabbed the correct guard.

824
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 4: The right one the night and thank goodness, they're not

825
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 4: going to have to amputate.

826
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

827
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: No, he just forgot it was hurt when he grabbed

828
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: the water bottle and started drinking. He's gonna go home

829
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: the night with two arms. Yeah, and the same motion,

830
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: the same motion to shoot, grabbing the water bottle and

831
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: drinking it. It's the same motion that he made that

832
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: he suddenly made fine without having to WinCE when he

833
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: was doing the throat the shooting motion.

834
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: Hell of a game between the Rockets and Lakers. Big

835
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 4: one too, Yeah, it is.

836
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: It is a big one because this is about superiority

837
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: for the three seed, because now we're getting to a

838
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: point where, hey, we're starting to count games. At the end,

839
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers hold on to win this, it would be

840
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: a two game in the lost column lead over the Rockets,

841
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: who had been in the three spot for a long time.

842
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: The Lakers now would move to within ten and a

843
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: half games of first Not that they're getting there, but

844
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: it also be another game and a half free of

845
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are in fourth place right now. Meanwhile,

846
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: Houston wins, they jump back up ahead, and the Lakers

847
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: drop down to fourth and Minnesota to fifth. So we're

848
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: starting to get to the point in the season where

849
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: you're really looking at where these teams are jocking for

850
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: playoff position in the West. Now we'll have more NBA

851
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: on the way. But big story college basketball, Miami of

852
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: Ohio is able to defy expectation and go against everybody's

853
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: hateful belief that they don't deserve to be in the

854
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,479
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament. They beat SMU in the first four, eighty

855
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: nine to seventy nine. They move on to the first

856
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: round of the NCAA Tournament. And you know, seeing them,

857
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: this was Miami of Ohio back from the MAC Tournament

858
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: where they're all pounding their chest and making references to

859
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: the crowd after the game is over. Yes, Miami of

860
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: Ohio validated this is a much bigger deal outside of

861
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: basketball than it is to inside basketball because Miami of Ohio,

862
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: the RedHawks, they deserve to be there. When you lose

863
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: one game, you win the regular season MAC Championship. Yeah, okay,

864
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: I get that. Maybe you don't play the most incredible schedule,

865
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: but when you lose one game and it's in your

866
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: conference tournament, yeah, you validated for so long.

867
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 3: You deserve a spot there in the tournament.

868
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: I know they feel like, hey, we validated where we

869
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: are by winning our first four game, but it didn't really,

870
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: but they deserve to be there, whether whether they were

871
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: there or not. Look, SMU is a twenty win team, right,

872
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: SMU is. You know they're a pretty good team this year,

873
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: and but you know you put the eleven to twelve

874
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: seeds in the playing round, Okay, you have to figure

875
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: something out because it can't just be all sixteen seeds.

876
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: So they beat a pretty decent team, Miami of Ohio.

877
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: They validated before, they validated now, and you know what

878
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: the right call to put them on the first four

879
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: because in the end, remember the NCAA tournament's a television show,

880
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: and you could have buried Miami of Ohio in the

881
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: first round against another team somewhere where they might have

882
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: lost because they'll go in as an eleven seed, you know,

883
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: playing the five eleven, the eleven six game. Maybe they

884
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: lose that one, but you had them front and center.

885
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: The team that everybody wants to see that maybe is

886
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: the new America's team. I've seen tweets about that already.

887
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, everybody loves the mid major teams again,

888
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: and Miami of Ohio is that team I love because

889
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: there's not enough mid majors in.

890
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: They're all in the nit this year.

891
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: This is like college basketball in the two thousands, where

892
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: the mid majors teams weren't really getting in. Now suddenly

893
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: they're the media's darlings again. And you know what, that's fine.

894
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: They should be. They validated getting in. They didn't need to,

895
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: but they won this game. I'm happy for them and

896
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: glad they're moving on to the NCAA Tournament. Rooting for

897
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: them when they go play because they're a great story.

898
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: When the small Cinderella schools, when you can identify them early,

899
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: it's nothing but good for the NCAA tournament. I said,

900
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: how about a fresco the Jason Smiths with Mike Carmon

901
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We got more

902
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: college hoops on the way, but coming.

903
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: Up next, we got a couple of big stories out

904
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,960
