Speaker 2: for you? I'm doing good. I'm doing real good, brother.

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't remember the first round of the NBA being

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: this good. God. Now over in the Eastern Conference, they're like,

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: what are you talking.

16
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: We're not talking about that, we're not telling about the

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: We're only speaking about the West right now.

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: My man, there's a lot going on. We get a

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: question for you. You ever check out a movie that's

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: a little bit. It started out as an unknown, but

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: it kind of became a cult favorite. It's got Gwyneth

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: Paltrow and a bunch of other people and it's called

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: sliding Doors. You ever seen that movie? Yeah, okay, I

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: know you're a Hollywood guy sliding doors, Harrison Barnes, Let's

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: fly ball in the air buzzer sounds sliding doors. For

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: those who don't know, the story quickly is basically a

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: movie that turns into two movies at once. Gwyneth is

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: rushing to catch an underground train. The doors are sliding.

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: There's your sliding doors. On one of the movies, she

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: catches the train. On the other one, she doesn't. Her

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: life goes into totally different directions based on whether or

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: not she made that train. Ephraim I felt like the series.

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: It froze in my mind. The ball is in the air,

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: and I'll take the Kings if it goes in. I'll

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: take the Warriors if it does not. I mean, that

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: shot felt like that, and there's a long way to go,

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: but it does. And also in my mind, for the

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: second time in this four game series, I'm going, what

39
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: a story if that thing goes in. I felt the

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: same way about Wiggins in Game one with his first

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: game back, Barnes being the former Warrior, what a story

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: if that thing goes in? Neither one of them go

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: in Ephraim and the Warriors might be in that six

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: and a half percent of teams that lose the first

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: two games of a series but still win it.

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that definitely was a shift, a momentum, shifting a series,

47
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: shifting missed shot. I will say this shout out to

48
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: Steph Curry and the defense he played on Dearon Fox

49
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: get the ball, and we have to start there because

50
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 3: you know, Dearon Fox, that was him all day. He

51
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: was going to go score that bucket in his mind,

52
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: but the defense from Steph altered that made him have

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: to give the ball up because he lost it. Time

54
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: was running out, had to give it up. Harrison Barnes.

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: Barnes was there. It's a one point game, so they

56
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 3: weren't looking for three. The Aaron was going to get

57
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: into the lane past Steph and shoot his floater or

58
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: a short mid range jumper which he'd been hitting all day,

59
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: and it didn't work out like that. So the catalysts

60
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: of that play not working goes That goes to the

61
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: former MVP and you know, somewhat defensive liability, Steph Curry

62
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: and his on ball defense.

63
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he and Draymond were both there and you're right,

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 2: he got out.

65
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Remember he of course he shoot Draymond away.

66
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: He did. But remember now, and there's been some developments

67
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: on this for anybody who didn't hang around for postgame.

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Steph was staring down the barrel of being, you know,

69
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: not the goat, but the lamb, like this final minute

70
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: of action was going to be on him. Oh yeah.

71
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: It was a mini version of Timeout Weber years ago

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: where Steph Curry, You've got a five point lead with

73
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: forty five seconds to go and the ball on your

74
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: home floor. I was about to put my feet up,

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: and then Steph calls the timeout that the Warriors don't have.

76
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: The Kings hit the free throw, then they hit a three.

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: That's what leads them to being only down by one.

78
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: Then Steph on the other end, misses the nine footer

79
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: that would have given the Warriors the three point lead,

80
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden again as that Barnes ball

81
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: is in the air, I'm like, oh god, oh no, no, no, no, no, Like, really,

82
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: are we going to have three days of basically Steph

83
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Curry coughed up the dynasty? Is that what we're about

84
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: to do? But you're right, And two things to be

85
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: pointed out a. His defense was incredible on the last play,

86
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: and B Steve Kerr went to the postgame press gathering

87
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: and said that timeout situation was one hundred percent on

88
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: me because the Warriors had recently made a challenge in

89
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: the game that was unsuccessful, lost their time out, and

90
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: he said, I forgot to remind the guys that we

91
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: did not have a timeout, and so that is totally

92
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: on me. I just it was a breath taking forty

93
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: five seconds of basketball entertainment. That whole series has been

94
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: as good as the first round can get.

95
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's intense. It's I mean, look, shout out to

96
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: the Sacramento Kings. Let's not get it twisted. It's hard

97
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: to go on the Golden State and win a game,

98
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: especially in the playoffs. They don't lose very many at home.

99
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: And for them to watching this game, you know what,

100
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: I realized, you gotta make shots. If you can't, the

101
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: Kings finally did, Yeah, we're good, but if you can't

102
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 3: consistently serious, if you can't consistently make shots, then they

103
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: will go on the thirteen to fourteen oh run on

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: you in two minutes ninety seconds. It doesn't take much,

105
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: especially in that building. So what happens is shout out

106
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: to the Kings, answering time and time again, you gotta

107
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: make shots. And they were up to the challenge today.

108
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: Today was a big game for them, for the Warriors,

109
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: for us as fans, for the NBA, because everybody was

110
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: watching this game. I mean, Dearon Fox shot the ball

111
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: thirty one times. He said about thirty one times. He's

112
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: such a problem. From oh my god, he's good.

113
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: He is good. You're listen and the Kings and they're

114
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: broadcast and everything about them, these playoffs are about something

115
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: more than them trying to make noise and see if

116
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: they can advance. You know, first time the franchise has

117
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: been there after sixteen seasons away. They're trying to signal

118
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: to the nation like we're here. And it's not just

119
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: we're here as a team. We've got a player or

120
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: two that you're missing. You gotta watch these guys play.

121
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: And I'll say this right out from like the billing

122
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: coming into this series from a Kings fan was wait

123
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: till you see Fox and Sabonis. I gotta tell you

124
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: something for me, Sabonis has missed the mark completely. He

125
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: has not been awful. He's a very good player. But

126
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: I really think some things have been exposed by what

127
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: Looney and Draymond have done down low against him. I

128
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: think that putting some of the things he does when

129
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: the refs are looking in the spotlight has not been

130
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: good for him. I don't even think Draymond getting suspended

131
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: ending up looking good for him, because if we all know,

132
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: whatever you think about that situation, Sabonis was the one

133
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: who instigated the whole thing. So he has shrunk. But

134
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: Daron fox A from he's a real deal. This man

135
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: is here, and if you don't know him and you

136
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: haven't seen him, do yourself a favor and catch the

137
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: remaining two or three basketball games in this series.

138
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: He's a real deal. And I take this about Sabonis.

139
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: The problem I'm having is he's not adjusting. He's too

140
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: good of a player to allow himself to be pushed

141
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: one direction. They are not allowing him to get to

142
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: his dominant hand, which is his left hand. He is

143
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 3: giving up and leaving points on the court because they

144
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: know he cannot go right when he gets his back

145
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: to the basket and he's dribbling and pounding trying to

146
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 3: get to that left shoulder. All they're doing is playing

147
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 3: him to go right, and he's not taking advantage of it.

148
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: And until he does, then he's going to keep having

149
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: these sub part games. He's going to keep having these

150
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: games where he's not dominant. He refuses to take the

151
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 3: mid range jump shot. When Kevon Cooney is standing under

152
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 3: the basket and you have the ball at the free

153
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: throw line and you don't shoot.

154
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: The jumper, then you're of no use to us.

155
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: Serious tell you what you know better than anyone, because

156
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: this is something I'm starting to notice in the NBA.

157
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: Teams do it to Draymond also. But you know who

158
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: started getting this treatment earlier in the year was Russell

159
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: Westbrook where he gets the ball out by the perimeter

160
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: and the other team is just like, well, we're just

161
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: gonna go away. We're gonna go wait for you underneath

162
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: the hope and if you don't want to come up here,

163
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: knock yourself out. Brother, shoot that shot, and obviously you've

164
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: got to do that and got to knock it down.

165
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: It really seems to mess with guys heads. So Bonus

166
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: either won't take it or what he does planks it.

167
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: He's been terrible from the free throw line. I know

168
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: that he actually has that shot, but he hasn't in

169
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: this series. Stayed late, Yeah, he stayed lated. Practiced the

170
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: other day, kept working on the fifteen footer and there's

171
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: a practice video of him going swish, swish, swish, and

172
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: then he gets into the game and it's clank, clank,

173
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: and then he won't even shoot it anymore. We'll do it,

174
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: they are in. Yeah, so he thinks he won that

175
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: battle with Draymond. He lost the war. Yeah, he lost

176
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 2: the war because right he got him suspended. The Warriors

177
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: won that game anyway, and now it's advantaged Draymond and

178
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: he got him. He got him again today.

179
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: And the other thing that it allowed, No, this may

180
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: not be so good for Draymond, but in the long run,

181
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: would it allowed Golden State to do which they would

182
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: have never done if Draymond wouldn't have been suspended. It

183
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: allowed them to realize they have a better lineup that

184
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: they can start the game with and bring Draymond off

185
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 3: the off the bench. So that way, what I'm saying is,

186
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: look the energy he brought coming off the bench. And

187
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: I know it was his game back and it was ooh,

188
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: go right, we haven't seen Draymond score twelve points and

189
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: I don't know how long, right, twelve points, ten rebounds,

190
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: seven assists off the bench in thirty one minutes. He

191
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: still played starter minutes. But coming off the bench, what

192
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: you did was you allowed them to have four offensive

193
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: options in the lineup instead of three. That is difficult

194
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 3: to defend. Kevon Looney is the cleanup man. Draymond Green

195
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: defensive special specialist and facilitator, not gonna take shots, all right,

196
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: But now you have Wiggins, Curry, Thompson and Poole twenty two,

197
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: twenty six, thirty two and eighteen right, yea, So now

198
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: they've realized, oh, we can put more pressure on Sacramento

199
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: to where they have to make these shots now and

200
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: have to match everything we're doing and bring Draymond in

201
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: with that second unit, right, and stabilize that that is

202
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: a problem and it will be a problem for any

203
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: other team moving forward if they get out of this matchup.

204
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: Yes, it's gonna be fascinating because they did not do

205
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: it in the second half. They started Draymond in the

206
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: second half because you remember, you're right, they love the

207
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: wide open offense, but they give up defense. And the

208
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: Kings were still up by one at the end of

209
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: one quarter, and Kerr said it in his halftime interview.

210
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: He's like, look, we like the wide open offense. But

211
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: but Darren Fox went off and listen, we got to

212
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: do something. We'll see that might be I hear you,

213
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: but it might be match up reliant. That is what

214
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

215
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: And because I started this. Whole thing about the Kings

216
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 3: is they are making shots. If you can get if

217
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: you get into a series, or if you get into

218
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: a game with their not making these shots and the

219
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: team you play next, if they get to the next round,

220
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: they're not shot makers like the Kings.

221
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's gonna be a problem.

222
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a problem for them, and they will

223
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: lean in on that, right And I don't know if

224
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 3: that diminishes Draymond's value moving forward? Right, Look, who realizing

225
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: that we can play at a high level without Draymond?

226
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: Right now?

227
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: This is moving forward. This is a projection. Now, Oh,

228
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: I hear.

229
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: You, He's got an opt out. And believe me, there

230
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: are some people in the organization that are like, if

231
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: he opts out, he ops out. So there's a different

232
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: way to play. I'm not convinced yet that it's better.

233
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, speaking of that next round, should

234
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 2: the Warriors get there, you know, damn well, who's gonna

235
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: be waiting for them? And we need to talk about

236
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: this next more so not about the team that's going

237
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: to be waiting for the Warriors, but the team that

238
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: is going to be waiting at home. I've got something

239
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 2: to freaking say about this group of NBA basketball players

240
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: because they have lost their minds. So we're going to

241
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,600

266
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: I found LeVar Ball with a jersey. It goes by

267
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: the name of Dylan Brooks. Oh my god. I want

268
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: you to know something. I live in the San Francisco

269
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: Bay Area. The sports fans here do not root for

270
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers. Ever, that that's not how it works,

271
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,479
Speaker 2: But it suddenly does. And it's not because the Warriors,

272
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: if they were to get to the next round, would

273
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: have home court advantage over the Lakers and they wouldn't

274
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: over the Grizzlies. It's because people flat can't stand excell

275
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: the Memphis Grizzlies. My man, his team. You were an athlete,

276
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: you understand the first rule. The first rule is to

277
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: not act and talk like you've been there before when

278
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: you have been there before. Right, you don't start talking

279
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: like an NFC champion until the field goal misses and

280
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: the falcons are on their way. And when you were

281
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: on your way to the super Bowl, you didn't start

282
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: talking about being a super Bowl champion because you weren't yet.

283
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: I have had it. I have literally had it up

284
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: to here with this basketball team filled with people who

285
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: have not had their thirtieth birthday yet and act like

286
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: they run a league that happens to be running them.

287
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: And this Dylan Brooks guy thinks that he's living rent

288
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: free in everybody's head that he's literally said that because

289
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: he gets talked about so much. My man, that's only

290
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: true if you end up on the winning side of

291
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 2: the games. Y'all are getting your butts kicked as the

292
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: two seed, you're getting your bell rung, and you're gonna

293
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: go into the locker room and disrespect one of the

294
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: greatest players, if not the greatest player of all time

295
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 2: with two words, he's old man. You got sunned in

296
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: this series so far. This is one of my favorite

297
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: Lebron moments ever. At practice the other day when everybody

298
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: was waiting to talk to him about Dylan Brooks and

299
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm not doing that. I I don't have

300
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: any time for stupid games. It's a child's game, and

301
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: I'm not playing good for Lebron. This Grizzlies team, I'm

302
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 2: telling you from Memphis, Tennessee, with no trips to even

303
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: the conference finals. I have no idea how they get

304
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 2: the ink they get or why they think they've achieved

305
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: what they haven't. But I am turned the heck off

306
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: by this franchise.

307
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think that's the case with everybody

308
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: outside of Memphis. I think it's maybe even some Memphis

309
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: fans are turned off to Dylan Brooks and his antics because.

310
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: I poke Bears.

311
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: I mean those statements that those aren't basketball all statements.

312
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: You know, the thing you want is your team to

313
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: go play their best basketball, right talking about epoke Bears

314
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: and talking about everything but winning and competing and I

315
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 3: don't respect you, and like all of those types of things.

316
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: That's not what you want. You don't want your team

317
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: focused on those things because those things, those things don't

318
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: get you anything. Those things get you bounced out of

319
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: the first round. Right now, if you want to have

320
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: this conversation after you win the series and you can

321
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: tell us how you won the series and going about

322
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: how you did your work to complete the task, we're

323
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: all ears. But you can't do it in the middle

324
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: of it. And you can't do it to people who

325
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: you're not on the level with.

326
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: You can't be.

327
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: An afterthought and and and and believe that you are

328
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: the main thought. This is John Moran's team. Steven Adams

329
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: comes before Dylan Brooks.

330
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, the list goes on it right.

331
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: Jared Jackson Junior comes before Dylan Brooks. Bang comes before

332
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks. Yes, you see what I'm saying. None of

333
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 3: those guys are saying anything because they're playing basketball. John

334
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 3: Moran had one hand and was unbelievable. That's the story,

335
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: Not you, goofball, not you, because what the things you're

336
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: talking about. You have no power to stop Dylan Brooks

337
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: can't stop Lebron James from scoring. Dylan Brooks can't stop

338
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: the Lakers from winn So what you're doing is you're

339
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: putting yourself in a situation where you're writing a check

340
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: that you are your team can't cash. And whenever you

341
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: do that, when you get denied at the bank teller,

342
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: everybody turns and looks at you like you said the

343
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: money was good. Money's not good, bro, money is not good.

344
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: You in at EBT right now. You only can use

345
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 3: EBT on certain items in certain stores. Can't go to

346
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 3: Gelston's with EBT.

347
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: They're about to get bounced for the second year in

348
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: Row in a series in which they had home court advantage.

349
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: They're about to get bounced for the second year in

350
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: Row in that situation. So to have that kind of bluster,

351
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: to have this kind of overconfidence about things that don't

352
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: even exist, It's like I said, it's LeVar Ball with

353
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: a jersey. And I know that we focus a little

354
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: bit about Dylan Brooks and he likes it that way.

355
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: But I'm not giving the rest of this roster a

356
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: pass because they allow it. There's a reason you need

357
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: people in their thirties on every roster. The Grizzlies don't

358
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: have one. And with Steven Adams, who is the closest

359
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: to it. With Steven Adams injured, it makes it even worse.

360
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: This team has allowed this. Let's not forget where John

361
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: Morant's season has been at times. This is immaturity run amuck,

362
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: and nobody has taken accountability. Nobody has called it out,

363
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: nobody has put it to a stop. And this basketball

364
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: team is going to wake up about three or four

365
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: years from now and go, oh my god, we missed

366
00:22:59,520 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: our window.

367
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's, you know, lack of maturity. And when you're

368
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: the leader of your team, as a kid who can't

369
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: get out of his own way, who trying so hard

370
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: to be someone he's not and has never been. When

371
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 3: your leader doesn't know who they are, how can your

372
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: team know who they are? And that's where we are.

373
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 3: That's what we're falling into the thing that keeps us

374
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: in our place. We know who we are because we

375
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 3: have one guy who leads us, who puts us in

376
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 3: our place, who is the voice and the leader of

377
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: this team.

378
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: And that is one Stephen l to say.

379
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 6: Thank you, gentlemen, did you guys could go on and

380
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: on with that segment needs to be said out loud. Honestly,

381
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: there's a reason why there's a phrase scoreboard.

382
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 7: It is because what happens in.

383
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 6: The game is more important than any yapping that happens.

384
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 7: And I like kind of.

385
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 6: How Ephem expressed it right there is he's being a

386
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 6: bad teammate by making writing the checks and making.

387
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 7: His team try to cash. What is going on here?

388
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 6: You've had back to back fifty win seasons and you're

389
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 6: gonna have almost nothing to show for it. And this

390
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 6: is a franchise, the Grizzlies that started in nineteen ninety five.

391
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 6: How many times have they gotten out of even the

392
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 6: second round?

393
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 7: Answer is won? And then they got swept.

394
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 6: In the conference finals four game to none by the

395
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 6: Spurs a decade ago. They haven't won in their franchise

396
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 6: history a single game in a conference final. You haven't

397
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 6: done anything yet. And then there's the superb Sacramento at

398
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 6: Golden State series, which gave us another great game today.

399
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 6: Series tied at two games apiece, Warriors win one twenty six,

400
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: one twenty five, Steph Curry thirty two points, the Aaron

401
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 6: Fox with thirty eight in the loss. You know from

402
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 6: ap in King's franchise history, most points scored in the

403
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 6: first four game games of a playoff series was a

404
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 6: record that belonged to Oscar Robertson in a series against

405
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 6: the Celtics nineteen sixty six one hundred.

406
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 7: And twenty two points.

407
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 6: De Aaron Fox now with one twenty six in the

408
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 6: first four games against Golden State two.

409
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: It is first four first, yeah, first, that's raft games

410
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: of his career, six in four games.

411
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 6: And yet one of the key moments in this game

412
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 6: was de Aaron Fox with the ball in his hand

413
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: after a rebound. They're only down two, three and a

414
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 6: half minutes to go, and he throws a pass into

415
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 6: the seats, and the Warriors come down on their next

416
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 6: possession and hit a three.

417
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 7: And then Fox, the very next.

418
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 6: Possession, ball in his hand, gets blocked, tries a three,

419
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 6: misses it that one thirty second period, you could go

420
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 6: from easily at least tied as Sacramento to down five.

421
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: And then despite the fact that thirty seconds left, Fox

422
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 6: makes it three. Sacramento is still trailing even after that,

423
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 6: and they lose by one. As Harrison barnes, this is

424
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 6: the three pointer in the final second. Earlier, New York

425
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 6: went up three games to one, beating Cleveland one oh

426
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 6: two ninety three Jalen Brunson twenty nine points. Right now,

427
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 6: two seed in the East. Boston is leading seventy six

428
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 6: sixty seven at Atlanta as they approach mid third quarter,

429
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 6: Celtics trying to go up three games to one. Jason

430
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 6: Tatum from three point range only one of seven, but

431
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 6: fifteen points for Derek White and fifteen points for Marcus Smart.

432
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 7: One seed in the West.

433
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 6: Denver has the late game tonight in about an hour,

434
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 6: they'll be at Minnesota, Nuggets up three games to none.

435
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 6: Two more NBA games tomorrow night, Stanley Cup Playoffs. Carolina

436
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 6: winner five to two at the Islanders, Number one, Boston

437
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 6: a win six to two at Florida, and in progress

438
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 6: early third period, Dallas a two to nothing leader at Minnesota.

439
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 7: The La King's host Edmonton. In a half an hour.

440
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 6: Kyle Busch won NASCAR's five hundred at Talladega, the sixty

441
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 6: second victory of his career. There is Sunday Night baseball

442
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 6: going on right now in San Francisco, and the Giants

443
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 6: have retied it with the Mets. It's three to three

444
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 6: bottom of the fourth inning. Earlier, Baltimore in ten edged

445
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 6: Detroit two to one, Angels four to three, over Kansas

446
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 6: City the Padres, and you Darvish got a seven and

447
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 6: five win at Arizona.

448
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, Steve Yes, our moral compass,

449
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: Steve Desager, I mean, Eve from what do you think

450
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: about this in the team concept? Yeah, Dylan Brooks is

451
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: an idiot, I'm just gonna say it. But there's also

452
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: seemingly nobody on the team that will call him out.

453
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: You know, the Grizzlies also have a head coach, they've

454
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: got a general manager, they have a star player, and

455
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: I guess you'd call him an elder statesman at least

456
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: he sort of feels and seems that way in Steven Adams.

457
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: They've got all those things. They're a franchise too, They've

458
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: got all those jobs filled and all that stuff. And

459
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: where are they if I'm those guys? You know, people

460
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: love to compare Dylan Brooks and Draymond Green and say

461
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: they're the same player. My god, oh my god. You

462
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: have never watched an NBA game in your life. If

463
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: you make, if you make, thank you, not just because

464
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: of the things Draymond does and has achieved in a

465
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: basketball uniform, but do you have any idea what would

466
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: happen if Draymond were on the Memphis Grizzlies. He's actually

467
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 2: the kind of player they need because somebody needs to

468
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 2: shake Dylan Brooks. I mean, think about it from not

469
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: even just in terms of the way it annoys us,

470
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 2: think about it in terms of basketball. You're the Grizzlies,

471
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: you just tied the series one to one, and you're

472
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks. So what do you do? Run to the

473
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: locker room to tick off Lebron? Are you stupid? Like? Literally,

474
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: the most moronic thing that you could possibly do in

475
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: a team concept after a win is go personally motivate

476
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: the greatest player to play the game not named Michael Jordan. Like,

477
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: how dumb is that?

478
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm going to quote someone wiser than both of us.

479
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: Stupid is what stupid does. Okay, And that's the great

480
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 3: Forrest Gump courtesy of his his mama. Okay, Mama always said, Mama,

481
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: stupid is what stupid does.

482
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: Right.

483
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: God, So when you're looking for his teammates or someone,

484
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: I have a kid eleven year old in middle school,

485
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: right and telling someone on that team is like having

486
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,719
Speaker 3: a middle schooler step up and be like, hey, guys,

487
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: you guys aren't supposed to be using that language, okay,

488
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: or hey, guys, farts, don't you don't smell your fart like.

489
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: They're not funny. Farts aren't funny.

490
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: Not happening. It's not happening because they're all kids and

491
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: they're all goofy. Now, if you take those same sixth

492
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 3: graders and you put them in a room with an

493
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: eighth grader or a senior and are a freshman in

494
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: high school, he'll turn and look and be like, hey, man,

495
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: that's no.

496
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: Because he knows better.

497
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: Right.

498
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: We can remember when we were younger and we tried

499
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: to get we thought things were a certain way, and

500
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: we're funny, and now as grown men, we look back

501
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: and be like, man, oh, stupid. Well, they got a

502
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: bunch of kids in that locker room. We got to

503
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 3: remember their leader went on a behavioral timeout. Yes, okay,

504
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: Like I said, their leader went on a behavioral timeout.

505
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: So when you're looking around that locker room for some

506
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: type of guidance, he was in rehab working through his problems. Right,

507
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: This is what I'm saying. They're a team who think

508
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: what Dylan Brooks is doing is cool. It's funny because

509
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: there are no ninth graders in there. Saying, hey, man,

510
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: what that that's stupid.

511
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: Okay, don't know, though, Man, does it need to be

512
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: the star player, because let's take a look.

513
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: It would help if it is, it would help. Look,

514
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 3: Steven Adams got thirty brothers and sisters. Okay, I know

515
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: it's killing him. But even he they he can't even relate.

516
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 3: They can't even relate to him. He's from New Zealand.

517
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: I know this man's been you know, he's spent seven

518
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: seasons on the Oklahoma City Thunder. This guy's been through

519
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: the wars, he's been deep in the playoffs, he's been

520
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: around people who have actually achieved something in the NBA.

521
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: And you're right, I'm not in the locker room, so

522
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't know the dynamic. Maybe he just doesn't have

523
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: that voice, or maybe he'll hire you because an't nobody listen? Yeah?

524
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 3: How about that? But if you're a star player, is

525
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: that voice of reasoning?

526
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: You have to listen? This even better, it's even better.

527
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: But but you know, couldn't he take a Eudonna's Haslam role,

528
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: a Draymond Green roll. It doesn't always have to be

529
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: the star leading scorer. Yeah, you have to.

530
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: You have to create that environment. That's not the type

531
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: of locker room they have. When you talk about the

532
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: Miami Heat and Eudonna's, that's a culture. There's a culture

533
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: in place. There's a culture in Golden State. There's no

534
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: culture in Memphis.

535
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: This is well, and that's all I'm saying.

536
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: But Steven Adams can't build the culture that he can't

537
00:32:59,360 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: build the coach.

538
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: You know who build the coach from Miami? You know

539
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: that's right.

540
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna hold then, I'm gonna hold the Grizzlies

541
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: general manager accountable to hed Over to tell me right,

542
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: but to tell me that you didn't see this coming.

543
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: This has been years of clues, years of clues. Literally,

544
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 2: they're from Memphis, Tennessee, and they have found their way

545
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 2: into being the number one check it out. This is documented.

546
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: There was a poll done recently checking with every NBA

547
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: fan base, who's your biggest rival? Do you want to

548
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: know who the Warriors fan thinks is their biggest rival?

549
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: The Memphis stupid Grizzlies. The dynasty of the decade hates

550
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: you the most and you have been nothing more than

551
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 2: a blip in the story. They don't hate Lebron. They're

552
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: rooting for Lebron to eliminate this guy. It's unbelievable, man,

553
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's it's really incredible how the misuse

554
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: of talent and and the the wayward nature of this

555
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 2: moment in time in their basketball story. It's crazy. It's Klombog,

556
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: absolutely crazy.

557
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: It's Clombo totally and Stephen Uh try to change that

558
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: culture his himself alone.

559
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen, man, it's not gonna happen. I

560
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: hear you, Tyrack dot com Studios. That's a from Salam.

561
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 2: I'm Mark Willard. Much more to get to, including why

562
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: is Kawhi Leonard being held to a standard that other

563
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: stars are not. We'll dive into that coming up on

564
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio win the Tirak dot com Studios. A

565
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: from I think there's gonna be a lot about the

566
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: Lakers and the Warriors and their respective series throughout the night.

567
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you this though. I felt a

568
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: little disturbance in the force, if you will, when it

569
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: was announced that Kawhi Leonard was out for Game three,

570
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: and I heard all kinds of load management jokes. Oh,

571
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: they're even doing load management in the playoffs. That's a

572
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: new one. And now Kawhi is missed too, and that series,

573
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: while technically not over, that suckers a rap and the

574
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns are going to move on. And I just

575
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 2: heard so many people, Oh, gosh, Kawhi, right, you can't.

576
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 2: We're talking about his minutes with ty L Lou and

577
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: there's the load management jokes and you can't count on him.

578
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: And maybe they're they're like, we can have conversations to

579
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: that end, but I'm sitting here going like, I don't

580
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: hear that with Giannis. I don't hear that with Joel Embiid.

581
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 2: John Moran missed a game. Granted it was the only

582
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: one they won, but you get where I'm going, Like

583
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: they're Tyler Herrow was gone for the Miami Heat, Like

584
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: there are a lot of big names who are are

585
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 2: missing time, and I don't hear the conversation being the

586
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: same as it is around Kawhi. And I totally get

587
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: his history, but not the only one. Would we hear

588
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: the same conversation if Anthony Davis gets hurt, Let me

589
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: ask it that.

590
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 3: Way, Uh, yes, you think so? The thing the last

591
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: two years, where's Kawhi been? He has been unavailable? Okay,

592
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: prior to that, right, you go a year and a

593
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: half and then you go back two more years. What

594
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 3: was he He was unavailable? So when you have a

595
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 3: history of things, okay, and we're not talking about he

596
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: blew his ACL out, Oh we get it. You can't

597
00:36:54,680 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 3: play if you have a blown acl right, fractured whatever it?

598
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 3: We understand that pulled hamstring. What are you gonna do.

599
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: But the way it's being handled by the Clippers is

600
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: they drop a bomb on you just out of nowhere.

601
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard is not available tonight.

602
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: Wait what he's out? You see what I'm saying.

603
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: So the way, the way it's being handled is part

604
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 3: of the problem. During the year, Kawhi is not playing tonight?

605
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: What when? Why? What is what happened? Isn't he back?

606
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 3: So this information, the information that we're getting is such

607
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: a shock and it's such a blow that it's like, okay,

608
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 3: come on, what's going on now? We're load managing here

609
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 3: because it feels the way it felt during the regular

610
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: season with Yannis. We saw him fall on his back, right,

611
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: we know what that is. Tyler Herro, we saw him

612
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: break his hand.

613
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let me give you another one. Then what about embiid.

614
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 3: Joel eb We saw him and his knee, right, We

615
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 3: saw him his way Listen, we saw him hurt his

616
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: knee because he was laboring up and down the court.

617
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 3: He has a history of that. What you can't do

618
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 3: if you're Philadelphia, what you cannot do is if you're

619
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: in a situation they were up three to zero. They

620
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: there's no no team has ever come back from three

621
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: to on a seven game series. So even if they

622
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: drop a game to Brooklyn, even if they did, they

623
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 3: know moving forward they haveing bead that who can come back?

624
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: Right, But they were like, I think we can do

625
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: it without I understand that.

626
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 3: I get that. I would have done the same thing.

627
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 3: The Clippers aren't in that position. They're battling. There was

628
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: one to one. You don't have the series under control.

629
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 3: That is why people are like, come on, brouh like

630
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: they didn't play. You have most of the years for

631
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: this moment. Now the moment is here. Now you can't

632
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: go Now. Are we getting all the information about what's

633
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: wrong with Kawhi Leonard and his knee. We're not getting it.

634
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: Not even with Paul George. We're not getting any information.

635
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: It's just not available.

636
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: Well, so I guess my question would be, like, in

637
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: fully understanding all of that, what is the implication, what

638
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: is the suggestion? Are we suggesting that the Clippers are

639
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 2: throwing this series?

640
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: No, we're suggesting that something is really wrong with Kawhi

641
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 3: Leonard's knee, something more than a knee spraining. That's what

642
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 3: we're suggesting. Something that's really wrong with what we saw.

643
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 3: What happened to Paul George's need I mean to the

644
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 3: fact that he's questionable or maybe even come back at

645
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: some point during the playoffs. It's miraculous, right, So we

646
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 3: said that when it happened with Oh, he's done right,

647
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 3: But we're not getting the information about really what's going

648
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 3: on with Kawhi's nie. It's obviously something more than a spring.

649
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: That is not the only question that needs to be

650
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: asked in this series, especially with Russell Westbrook doing a

651
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: reprise on the I'm playing by myself role. More on

664
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 2: an unpleasant first hour. If you are a fan or

665
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 2: a member of the Grizzlies organization. There is only one

666
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: other athlete, I think, in in the you know, handful

667
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 2: of months since we got back together to do this again.

668
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 2: There have been a number of athletes who have taken

669
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 2: it on the chin a few times. I think, for instance,

670
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers would fit that bill. But there's been

671
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: one who I think is taking it on the chin

672
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: more than any and I would like to talk about

673
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: him yet again, but maybe in a little bit of

674
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 2: a different way. He goes by the name of Russell Westbrook.

675
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: I said, what's Westbrook on his name? Homie? Put some

676
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: speck on the net. Have you ever seen anything like

677
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: this before? I don't think I've ever seen anything like

678
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: this before. You're in a playoff series and after each game,

679
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: the players will come in front of the media and

680
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 2: questions will be asked, and of course there are compliments

681
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: handed out, like Darren Fox will tell you how hard

682
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: it is to guard Steph Curry. Like most of these

683
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: guys are not like Dylan Brooks, where they're gonna go

684
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 2: out of their way to disrespect the opponent. But I've

685
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: never seen this. Have you ever seen stars on another

686
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: team who instead of talking about the game or even

687
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: talking about what the opponent did well and what they

688
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: didn't do well in the game, they're talking about like

689
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: the life and career and legacy of a player on

690
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 2: the other team and defending him. Almost like hey, everybody

691
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 2: just wanted to show up here to the media to

692
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 2: tell everybody to it'd be nicer to the guy that's

693
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: on the other team. Like the series isn't even technically

694
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: over yet, but the Sons are so comfortable that instead

695
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: of talking about, yeah, we gotta go home game five,

696
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: take care of business, see if we can get ourselves

697
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: into the second round, they're like, Hey, while we're here,

698
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 2: we'd just like to tell you that Russell went Brook

699
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: is better than all of you think he is, and

700
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 2: you're gonna miss him when he's gone, I'm like, this

701
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: is the weirdest press conference I've ever seen in my life.

702
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 2: What the hell are Kevin Duran and Chris Paul doing?

703
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: I mean, where did this come from? Where they just

704
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: took up for their guy? And I know that Russ

705
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: probably liked it, but it made him look like somebody's

706
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: little brothers, like he's a freshman in their seniors and

707
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: they're like, Okay, guys, I know we rub all the

708
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: heads of the freshman. I know that's the tradition, but

709
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: don't do it to my little brother, because you know

710
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: he's pretty good and someday he may grow up to

711
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: be bigger than you. I mean, that's what the whole

712
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 2: thing felt like. It was the oddest thing I've ever

713
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: watched In the middle of a playoff series.

714
00:43:54,360 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: I think guys who play have an affinity for Russell Westbrook,

715
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 3: number one. They all know each other, right, whether they

716
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 3: work together on a team or not. It's the reason

717
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: Lebron James wanted Westbrook over Turner and Buddy Hill, which

718
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 3: would have been a much better fit as we see

719
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 3: with the pieces that they brought in right it with D'Angelo,

720
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 3: Russell and Vanderbilt that's what they brought in right wing

721
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 3: defenders and shooters. I mean, that's what the Lakers wanted

722
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: to do. But Lebron ad they all wanted Westbrook because look,

723
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: they love Westbrook. They know he'll play harder than anything.

724
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: The only problem is he doesn't fit everywhere. He doesn't

725
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 3: fit with another one or two. He doesn't because he's

726
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 3: a ball dominant player. He can't play any other way. Now,

727
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this first of all. Listen, he fits

728
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 3: right now with the Clippers because they he got two

729
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: guys who can't play he does. He fits right now. Look,

730
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 3: but he didn't fit with the Clippers when Kawhi and

731
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: Paul George were playing. That's why he was coming off

732
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: the bench and that's why he wasn't playing in the

733
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: fourth quarter.

734
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: So looz fit me.

735
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: Those guys are gone. The reason he.

736
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: Took the Wizards to the playoffs because he was the guy.

737
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: He was bought.

738
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 3: You can live with the turnovers when his usage ragees

739
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 3: is so high, because he's going to give you forty

740
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 3: he's going to give you thirty an average of twenty

741
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 3: eight and ten assists. He's going to give you that.

742
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 3: But he's going to eat six turnovers too. Well, what

743
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 3: happens is if you cut his minutes from he played

744
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 3: forty to twenty five and he gives you six turnovers,

745
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 3: you're dead.

746
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying.

747
00:45:55,480 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: So not having Kawhi and and Paul George puts the

748
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 3: spot the onus, in the spotlight on Russell. Now you

749
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 3: can say, Russell, go be you. The problem is people

750
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 3: are trying to make Russell someone else, and he doesn't

751
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 3: fit with someone else. He can only he's been in

752
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 3: the league too long to be somebody else. It's not

753
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: coming off that he's not gonna be the sixth Man

754
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: of the Year, even though that experiment almost worked in

755
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 3: LA but that caused contention in the locker room. Obviously,

756
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 3: you know, he's playing as hard as he can. Guys

757
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 3: respect and love to see that. So they gonna give

758
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 3: him his props, they gonna give him his flowers. Right

759
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 3: now when the media and everybody else is like, uh.

760
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, listen, nobody's ever accused Russell Westbrook of

761
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: not playing hard.

762
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 3: No, they just they say he can't win, say he

763
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 3: can't win, and and he can't true.

764
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: Because well, forgetting about these last two games when everybody

765
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 2: decided we should at press conferences to talk about how

766
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: good Russell Westbrook has been, and we should remind everybody

767
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: that he is special and that you will miss him

768
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 2: when he's not here. And I'm like, they lost the games, right,

769
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 2: did I misread the final score? No, they lost both

770
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: of the So so he fits. What are I like?

771
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 2: He made more shots than he missed last night, so

772
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: therefore it worked. The team as a whole scored one

773
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: hundred points. That's laughable. In the NBA today, teams are

774
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: averaging almost one hundred and twenty. So we can sit

775
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 2: here and watch Russell Westbrook phillip a box score. I

776
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: didn't need to be reminded that he can do that.

777
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 2: He did it for a whole year, right after Kevin

778
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 2: Durant left him. May I remind everyone right after Kevin

779
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: Durant left him, He's spent a whole year reminding every

780
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: one I can fill up a box scorer.

781
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: Cool.

782
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 2: Nobody ever said you couldn't. What we said you couldn't

783
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 2: do was be a one on a good team, and

784
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: you can't. So if I buy what you're saying, and

785
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 2: I do that, he doesn't fit as a two or three.

786
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: But we also know he can't be an effective one.

787
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 2: Have we not gotten to the bottom of why everybody

788
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 2: keeps bringing him up and setting him apart as a

789
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: negative thing. You say, he's been to a lot of

790
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: places where he doesn't fit. I'm still waiting to find

791
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: the one where he does. Yeah, where does he fit?

792
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 2: H He fitting?

793
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 3: Okay, see he did, That's where he fit went after

794
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: Durant left, him and Paul George fit well together. They

795
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: good they they fit well together. They got to the playoffs,

796
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 3: they made a run at it. They needed another piece,

797
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 3: another bee, and some wing defenders, another wing defender. But

798
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 3: what I will say is, look, I did not like

799
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 3: Russell West on the Lakers. That was awful for me.

800
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 3: It was awful, and I'm gonna be honest, it was

801
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 3: not a good fit. He was not in the right

802
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: mind set. Like when they asked him what his expectations

803
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: were coming to be a Laker, he said he didn't

804
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 3: have any You lost me there, You lost me there.

805
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 3: Anybody who knows the purple and goal every year, the

806
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,959
Speaker 3: expectation is to win a championship, no matter what team

807
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: you got out there. So do not have any expectations

808
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 3: coming You think Lebron. You think Shaq had expectations coming here.

809
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: You think Kareem had expectations coming here, right, do you?

810
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 3: There is an expectation when you get here. Lebron had

811
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 3: an expectation when he got here. And then the other

812
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 3: thing he lost me was he didn't care about turnovers.

813
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 3: What brother, that's not the point guard I want. I

814
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 3: don't want the point guard who's not concerned with his

815
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 3: assist the turnover ratio. That guy doesn't work on my team. Yep,

816
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 3: doesn't work. And that's why he didn't work for the Lakers,

817
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 3: because he didn't have expectations and he didn't care about

818
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 3: protecting the ball. When you look at the long list

819
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 3: of great point guards the Lakers have had, starting with

820
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 3: the in my opinion, the best point guard ever, and

821
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 3: that's Maggie Johnson. So that's why he didn't fit. He

822
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 3: didn't know how to be that second unit guy that

823
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 3: come off the bench.

824
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: That it just not in his nature.

825
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 3: Zebra can't change the stripes man Zebra without stripes as

826
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 3: a donkey.

827
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: I guess this is the issue though, and the reason

828
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 2: why this guy has literally got an angry streak that

829
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 2: sometimes appears like it's going to end up on the

830
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 2: back page of the post. You know what I mean.

831
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 2: Now we've got rush of Westbrook approaching fans on the

832
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 2: way to the locker. Ran he went right on the

833
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 2: don't watch your mouth. Yeah, that's well, Actually Russ watched

834
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 2: your behavior because fans are going to say what they say.

835
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 2: Ask Anthony Rendon how it goes when you don't like

836
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 2: what a fan says and then you yell at them

837
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 2: or you touch them. Ask Draymond Green how it goes, because,

838
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 2: by the way, that's actually why he got suspended the

839
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: other day. Ask anybody involved with the Malice in the

840
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 2: Palace how it goes when you don't like what a

841
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: fan says and then you confront him. It's not going

842
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:42,400
Speaker 2: to go well for you. And so right, thank you,

843
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 2: and and like the reason that this discourse has gone

844
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 2: where it is is because Russ is taking all of

845
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 2: this this ribbing, if you will, to mean that people

846
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 2: think he's a bad basketball player. That's not what people

847
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: are saying. People aren't saying that Russell's a bad basketball player.

848
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 2: They're saying that Russell is not the basketball player that

849
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: he's been billed to be. And they're saying he's not

850
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 2: a winning basketball player, A hell of a lot of

851
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: evidence of that, and and by high level people, not

852
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 2: people with a beer and nachos in the stands. If

853
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: he was so great and everybody thought they could win

854
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 2: with him, why is he wearing his fifth jersey since COVID.

855
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 2: You're right, You're absolutely right.

856
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 3: Okay, So you know you're not going to get an

857
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: argument from me because I saw firsthand and experience firsthand

858
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 3: what an improper fit can do to a team. Lakers

859
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 3: have I believe, the best record since the trade deadline

860
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 3: in All Star Break?

861
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 2: Why do you think that is.

862
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 3: Honestly anymore? And it's not just him. I don't want

863
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 3: to dump that bucket on him. What I'm saying is

864
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 3: he didn't bring what they needed. They didn't need someone

865
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: to handle the ball. They have point guards they didn't

866
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 3: need They needed someone to be able to shoot and

867
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 3: guard on the wing consistently. That's what the Lakers needed.

868
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 3: They didn't need another ball dominant player, and that's what

869
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 3: they went out and got two years ago, and that's

870
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 3: why they have been much maligned. They eradicated that situation

871
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 3: a few months ago, and here they are up to

872
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 3: one in a series, looking to take a stronghold on

873
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 3: it tomorrow. If Westbrook's on this team, we may have

874
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: not even made the play in. That's the god's honest truth.

875
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 2: I think you might have, but you probably wouldn't have

876
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 2: made it out of it.

877
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 3: Like, definitely made the play in because look what we

878
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 3: had to do to get there.

879
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: We had to have the guest record coming down the stretch.

880
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt. There was not a lot of

881
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 2: room there. But I definitely feel like even if they

882
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: had gotten there, they would would not have gotten out

883
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 2: of it. Now, I wonder that the Clippers did get

884
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: a bad break in this series, which was I thought

885
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 2: very intelligently pointed out by On on his podcast. If

886
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 2: you missed that, we'll clue you in on that coming

887
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 2: up next. Plus circle back to both the Lakers and

888
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: the Warriors and their chances to put this series together

889

896
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 2: just trying to warn everybody now because I don't want

897
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 2: anybody to end up having to go to the hospital with,

898
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 2: you know, a heart rate run amuck, some sort of

899
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 2: anxiety or or hell we would. We really don't want

900
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 2: anybody to to pull an e from salam. That's what

901
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: I call it. When someone hugs their remote through the TV.

902
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 2: That's called an that's called an e from salam. So

903
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 2: jumped jumped into the television. Of all the stories you've

904
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 2: told me through the years, it's my favorite one. Oh gosh,

905
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 2: it's so good that damn remote springy, isn't it. Man?

906
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 1: It's springy? Watch them that's right.

907
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 2: You call your remote jah, you call it jockeys a man.

908
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 2: He could just jump to boom, just jump right across

909
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 2: the room. Anyway, I digress. I don't want anybody to

910
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 2: get upset, because that's where we are in terms of

911
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 2: this first round. It's now time to get upset. And

912
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 2: here's what I mean. NBA conspiracy theories come up every

913
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 2: single year. Of course, it is a normal part of

914
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 2: the process. You always feel at the end of every game,

915
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 2: if your team lost, the refs were terrible, and if

916
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 2: your team won, then they did an okay job. That's

917
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 2: being a fan. So king fan today, I promise you

918
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 2: they think the refs really really messed this up, even

919
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: though I spent let's see, I'm in minuts an NBA

920
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 2: game forty eight. I spent forty seven of them yelling

921
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: at the refs too. But then the Warriors ended up

922
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 2: with more points than the Kings, and I'm like, yeah,

923
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 2: we're good. It's fine. Refs. You mess up a little bit,

924
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 2: but not too bad. It's okay. So that's being a fan. However,

925
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 2: I wonder if you've thought about this with the specter

926
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: of a Lakers Warriors series awaiting us, especially with the

927
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: two teams they're playing. One is in Tennessee and the

928
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 2: other one is in, yes, California, but in kind of

929
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 2: California's other market, and they haven't been in the playoffs

930
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 2: for sixteen years, and literally the last time they were,

931
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 2: they're still talking about how the refs put the Lakers

932
00:57:55,240 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: into the finals over them. So we are heading full

933
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: steam ahead into a week of oh Ephraim. The league

934
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 2: wants Warriors versus Lakers. Get ready, That's how it's gonna sound.

935
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: And there's nothing the damn one of us can do

936
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 2: about it.

937
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 3: No, it's nothing we can do about it. And yeah,

938
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 3: that'll be a great series. But the bottom line is, look, man,

939
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 3: the Kings are dangerous. Oh they might win, so it

940
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 3: don't be worried about them, right.

941
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm just telling you how this is gonna sound.

942
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 3: I know what's happening. It's about to happen. Yeah, absolutely

943
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: like that when you see the same opponent. And now

944
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 3: the Warriors King series.

945
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 2: I can't speak for Lakers Griz yet, but the Warriors

946
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 2: King series. To me, a series qualifies as a long

947
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: one when it gets to six games. So this is

948
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 2: gonna be a long series. When you're the same opponent

949
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 2: at least six, maybe seven times in a row, you

950
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 2: begin to you one of two things with the players

951
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 2: you're not rooting for. You either just shake your head

952
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: and go, oh my gosh, like I have such respect

953
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 2: for that player because they're so good, Darren Fox, or

954
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: you find a newfound hatred for some player that you

955
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 2: never even thought about until now.

956
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: Demonta simonas right like and so we're going.

957
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 2: The second half of the series is emotional because all

958
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 2: this stuff has been built up and people are gonna

959
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 2: get mad. As gonna be everybody's fault. It's mean, the

960
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: ref's fault and miss damn Warriors Lakers series is illegitimate. Damnit.

961
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: If just tell.

962
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 3: You, guys are on an I eighty matchup right now,

963
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 3: right I eighty. Everybody's taking buses, luxury buses. It doesn't

964
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 3: take very long to get there, right, and then this

965
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 3: is going to turn into the I five series, right,

966
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 3: Gotta take a plane a little bit longer, one freeway

967
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 3: get you in and out right. So the fact that

968
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 3: we're keeping this thing in California is amazing, right, no

969
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 3: different time zones. People are fresh, not long trips. That's

970
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 3: what you want, whether you got Home court or not.

971
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 3: You want to be able to just go up and

972
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 3: down the freeway.

973
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: Right.

974
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 3: The plane ride on a private plane is forty five minutes.

975
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 3: Your body doesn't have enough time to swell, right, So

976
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm look, yeah, well we'll we'll take Kings, we'll take

977
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: Golden State. We don't have to leave the state. So

978
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 3: you guys figure that out over there on your side,

979
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 3: we're gonna do what we gotta do on this side.

980
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you figure yours out too.

981
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: We got we do.

982
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 3: We're gonna try to close it out to me, We're

983
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: gonna try to take a a stranglehold, as they should

984
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 3: say on the series, tomorrow at home and then go

985
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 3: one more time to Memphis, right, get some barbecue, little music,

986
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 3: and come on back home rest while you guys fight

987
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 3: it out.

988
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just what looks gonna take a minute. Eighty's

989
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 2: gonna take a minute. It's gonna take a minute. It

990
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 2: might it might be the game that leads into our

991
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: show again next Sunday.

992
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 3: It really Yeah, I believe it will be based on

993
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 3: how these three games have gone. I believe it will be.

994
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 3: And look, this is I mean, it's four game excuse me,

995
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 3: this is good basketball. This is what you want. You

996
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,439
Speaker 3: want a series like this. Normally you don't get these

997
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 3: in the first round. You get the you know of

998
01:01:55,080 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 3: the Brooklyn Philly series is overquick. This Minnesota denvers here,

999
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 3: nobody's watching that. That thing is over so outclassed, it's you.

1000
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.

1001
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 3: But we got it, real, real good basketball being played

1002
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 3: right here in the Golden State. That's miraculous.

1003
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Well, yes, and this is what needs to be figured

1004
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 2: out because Denver is going to move on and Phoenix

1005
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 2: is going to move on, and I think the Eastern

1006
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 2: Conference certainly there's some intrigue around the Bucks situation that's

1007
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 2: pretty wild. But the Celtics are going to move on,

1008
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 2: and the Sixers are going to move on, and it

1009
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: looks like the Knicks are going to move on, and

1010
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 2: all of that is, you know, is mostly predictable. The

1011
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 2: next thing is a little a little eyebrow raising, and

1012
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Giannis being out is certainly affecting the Bucks situation. But

1013
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 2: but but outside of that, if the Warriors and Lakers

1014
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 2: were to prevail, there's a very very clear message that

1015
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 2: gets sent across the NBA, and I'm not convinced it's

1016
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 2: a great one.

1017
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

1018
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 2: More on that coming up in a couple of minutes,

1019
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 2: but right now, again, the man that we have nicknamed

1020
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: our moral Compass, also known as no Hey, Steve de Sager,

1021
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 2: stevens now here with us live. Yeah, No, Steve Moral Companies.

1022
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 7: Nobody liked it.

1023
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 3: No.

1024
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 6: Boston Celtics had just one at Atlanta one twenty nine,

1025
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 6: one to twenty one. Celtics lead this first round series

1026
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 6: three games, to one and Game five's in Boston on Tuesday.

1027
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum thirty one points, thirty one for Jalen Brown

1028
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 6: in the loss. Trey Young had thirty five points, fifteen

1029
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 6: assists and just one turnover. But the Hawks season could

1030
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 6: be ending on Tuesday. Earlier, New York went up three

1031
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 6: games to one, beating Cleveland one oh two ninety three

1032
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 6: Jalen Brunson with twenty nine points. Game five is Wednesday

1033
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 6: in Cleveland in the Western Conference. Golden State with a

1034
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 6: home win one twenty six one twenty five over Sacramento,

1035
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 6: even that first rounder at two games apiece, this despite

1036
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 6: thirty eight points from d Aaron Fox Steph Curry with

1037
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 6: thirty two. By the way, since Steve Kerr became head

1038
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 6: coach of Golden State, when they're up in a playoff

1039
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 6: game by ten or more at any point in a

1040
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, and they were up ten to start the

1041
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 6: fourth today, the win loss record is seventy five and

1042
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 6: three for Golden State. They did not blow the ten

1043
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 6: point fourth quarter lead today, win by one Kings Smiths

1044
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 6: a last second three attempt. Once again, that's seventy five

1045
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 6: and three under Steve Kerr when leading a playoff game

1046
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 6: by ten or more at any points in the fourth quarter.

1047
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 6: The late game in a few minutes will have top

1048
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 6: seed in the West Denver up three games to none

1049
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 6: playing at Minnesota. Stanley Cup playoff wins on the road

1050
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 6: for Boston and Carolina, and now Dallas has won at

1051
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 6: Minnesota three to two. Underway, Edmonton at the Kings scoreless

1052
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 6: as they approached mid first period to the Sunday night

1053
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 6: ballgame at San Francisco, it's bottom of the eighth Giants

1054
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 6: tied four to four with the Mets. Among the earlier games,

1055
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 6: Baltimore in ten innings edge Detroit two to one. Dodgers

1056
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 6: got a seven to three win over the Cubs. Clayton

1057
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 6: Kershaw beat Marcus Stroman and Texas down Oakland five to two.

1058
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 6: Jacob de Grom two and oh got the win. The

1059
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 6: Oakland A's are now four and eighteen, were starting franchise history.

1060
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 6: Their run differential in only twenty two games is already

1061
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 6: a minus one to OH three. They keep getting blown out.

1062
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 6: Not today, but it's happened often already this month. The

1063
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 6: TBRA to start the day was eight four and eighteen,

1064
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 6: record for the A's beanked.

1065
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 8: Moneyball OH the a's, the a's in ten minutes, the a's,

1066
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 8: I guess something to say about the it's not.

1067
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Not the Oakland A's. Oh fuck yeah, didn't they break

1068
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 2: some They broke a record right for negative run differential

1069
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 2: through twenty games something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're

1070
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 2: at so I didn't see what they did today. Yeah,

1071
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 2: mighty opposite three? Is that what happens?

1072
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the opposite of what Tampa Bay is doing.

1073
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 2: So far.

1074
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 6: Tampa has literally homered in every game and won almost

1075
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 6: every game.

1076
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: Oh it's not just four and eighteen. It's like they're

1077
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 2: losing like fifteen to two every day. And what's unfortunate

1078
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 2: there is their owner, John Fisher is sitting there lighting

1079
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 2: a cigar after each loss. So more on that in

1080
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 2: a second. You know, Steve was sitting there or moral compass,

1081
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call him. He's sitting there talking

1082
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 2: about the Warriors King series. Listen to this. I want

1083
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 2: you want to know how much these two teams mirror

1084
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 2: one another right now, because people will go, oh, Razor

1085
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 2: thin Kings were almost up three to one, could pretty

1086
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 2: much say the same thing about the Warriors, Like Andrew

1087
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 2: Wiggins had a shot to win Game one. Barnes had

1088
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 2: a shot to win Game four. They both missed the shot,

1089
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 2: and so here we are. Warriors kind of had what

1090
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 2: it felt like a little bit of a mini blowout

1091
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 2: in Game three. The King certain controlled down the stretch

1092
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 2: of Game two. This thing is so racist, then, so

1093
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 2: everyone's been waiting for both teams. I've heard this a

1094
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 2: lot through three games. Kings are up two to one

1095
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 2: and everyone goes, man, neither one of these teams has

1096
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 2: had that game yet where they just start nailing threes,

1097
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 2: and both of these teams are capable today from the

1098
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 2: three point line. In a one point basketball game. The

1099
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 2: Kings went fourteen of thirty five. The Warriors went fourteen

1100
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 2: of thirty four.

1101
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: Identical, I mean, unbelievable.

1102
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Warriors had two three pointers

1103
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 2: that were later reversed because feet were on the line,

1104
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 2: So you could add that into the conversation as well,

1105
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 2: for whatever that's worth. But I'm telling you, man, the

1106
01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 2: later this gets, the more it's evident. It's it's such

1107
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 2: a classic changing of the guard type story. I don't

1108
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 2: know if the guard is ready to be changed, but

1109
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 2: they're trying to do the same thing and they're trying

1110
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 2: to do it to each other. And one of them's

1111
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 2: old and they've been doing it forever, and one of

1112
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 2: them's young and they haven't done it yet. And they're

1113
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 2: almost the exact same thing when it comes to output.

1114
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 3: You know the thing that I see that gave Golden

1115
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 3: State the edge. They shot twenty four free throws to

1116
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 3: the Kings eighteen. Now, that might not seem like a

1117
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 3: significant number. Kings made fifteen free throws. Golden State made

1118
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 3: twenty two twenty two. It was a one point game, Yep,

1119
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 3: it all matters.

1120
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 2: They shot ninety one point seven percent from the free throws.

1121
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 2: That's the difference. Right.

1122
01:08:56,280 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 3: When you're looking at the measurables of a championship team,

1123
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 3: you gotta look past the threes pass all. You gotta

1124
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 3: look at the things that make you a champion. And

1125
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 3: in this case, when you send Golden State to the line,

1126
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 3: they have a ninety chance across the board of knocking

1127
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 3: the free throws down.

1128
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 2: Now, that.

1129
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 3: Is dangerous. That is where you win and you lose

1130
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 3: these tough playoff serieses. How about that.

1131
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 2: Draymond Green six for six.

1132
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 1: Hey man throws, hey Man, Every single point matters and

1133
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the only reason, like I just we had a baseball

1134
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 1: game today. It was unbelievable, Markie. Our best two players,

1135
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: two pitchers, mind you, were not available for the game today.

1136
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: All right, we had a game yesterday. We got we

1137
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 1: got the mess kicked out of us. Couldn't hit. We

1138
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: lost ten two, couldn't it.

1139
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 3: We've only lost two games, that's one of them.

1140
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 6: HM.

1141
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 3: So today I said, hey, we got to hit down down.

1142
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 3: Both of our are our big time pictures and our

1143
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 3: big time hitters. And going into the final inning we

1144
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 3: were down eight to three, eight to three, the bottom

1145
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 3: of the order was up. And you know what that means.

1146
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 3: You know what that means for those who don't know

1147
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 3: what that means is the bottom of the orders is

1148
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 3: normally where you find the pictures. Right, you find the

1149
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 3: pictures are the people you know, are not hitting.

1150
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 2: The people who are afraid of the ball.

1151
01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: They're still skilled in other ways.

1152
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,439
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you got a second baseman can't really hit,

1153
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 3: but he's a dynamic shortstop or second base.

1154
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 2: Then you put him at the bottom of the order. Right.

1155
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 2: So we go up there and.

1156
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 3: We tell the kids before we go out, hey, look

1157
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 3: this is the last inning. If we score five we

1158
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 3: win the game. It's little league, so it's a five

1159
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 3: run minimum. You can only score five. It's a lot

1160
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,919
Speaker 3: of walks and stuff going on. Yes right, yes, yes exactly.

1161
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: So if we score five, we win.

1162
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 3: And brother, when I when I tell you, would I

1163
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 3: tell you we scored five runs?

1164
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 2: Come on, we scored five run.

1165
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 3: My son was the was it was two outs, bases loaded,

1166
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 3: my son is. I'm not lying to you. My son

1167
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 3: was at the play. He hasn't hit all day. I

1168
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 3: don't know what's going on with him. If I didn't

1169
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 3: have to work today, we'd be at the batting cages

1170
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 3: right now, right at the ninety miles an hour at

1171
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 3: your head. You're gonna get it today, right right, But no,

1172
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 3: I'm here. I had to work. So he's at the plate.

1173
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 3: He I had to. He's looking at me. I don't

1174
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,880
Speaker 3: look at me. I'm first base coach. Don't worry about me.

1175
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 3: Look at the ball. He pitch comes, he swings, not

1176
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 3: even looking at the ball. I'm like, come on, bro, right,

1177
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 3: bases are loaded. You can steal home on overthrows from

1178
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 3: a pitcher to catcher. Oh okay, he steps up, pitcher throws,

1179
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 3: hits the dirt, boom off the backstop.

1180
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 2: We come in.

1181
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 3: My man, Whitman, he's running, catcher, gets the ball, he's

1182
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 3: attacking women. Women slides game blouses. That was our fifth run.

1183
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 3: That's how we scored our fifth run to win the game.

1184
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 3: All I wanted and all I all I told you,

1185
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 3: I went crazy. All I told them was before that

1186
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 3: ending is every play matters, matters, every swing of the bat,

1187
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 3: every steal of the base, every single thing that you

1188
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 3: do matters. And that's what the Golden State Warriors specialize in.

1189
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:24,679
Speaker 8: Mmmm.

1190
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: It's really good stuff, man, It's really good stuff. Every

1191
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 2: single possession, the heart rate is going, no doubt about it.

1192
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 2: It's the exact opposite of what the Golden State Warriors,

1193
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 2: ex sweet mate is doing. I'll tell you a little

1194
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 2: bit about that and get something off my chest here

01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:54,280
Speaker 2: love the job, don't you. Yeah. It's just not bad, man,

1212
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 2: It's not bad, except for when we have to talk

1213
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 2: about teams like this. The Oakland A's are not just bad,

1214
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:08,560
Speaker 2: and they're not just potentially relocating. Oh, they're going probably

1215
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 2: do understand what was what was reported the other day

1216
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 2: had a whole lot of negotiating bluster behind it. We

1217
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: have signed a binding agreement. No, you haven't read the details.

1218
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 2: It's not binding. And in fact, the A's could end

1219
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 2: up up a creek if they can't find a half

1220
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 2: billion dollars in Vegas.

1221
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 9: I know that's the easiest place to find it. But

1222
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 9: somebody just falling off the stoat. No, it's unbelievable. My

1223
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 9: favorite sports story actually ever. Yeah, the Raiders up and

1224
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 9: down the coast in California for the better part of

1225
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 9: a generation, and they're looking for money wherever we'll find it.

1226
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 9: And California is like, you're not gonna squeeze one public

1227
01:15:56,840 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 9: dollar out of this state, look at me, not one.

1228
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 9: So Mark Davis is like, hey, Vegas, how about you.

1229
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 9: Vegas Council gets together. They come up with three quarters

1230
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 9: of a.

1231
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 8: Billion dollars from it was.

1232
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 2: Eleven thirty in the morning. They're like, yeah, we got it,

1233
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 2: it's right here. I'm like, oh my god, so funny. Anyway,

1234
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 2: but this is not the NFL. This is a crappy

1235
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball team with no good players. So that's

1236
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 2: different now. And if they don't come up with it,

1237
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 2: and they don't make up with Oakland, I mean, this

1238
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 2: guy could end up in a situation where he's got

1239
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 2: to sell the team. That is possible, and we've seen

1240
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 2: teams with binding agreements. Hell, the team right across the Bay,

1241
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 2: the San Francisco Giants, once upon a time had a

1242
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 2: quote unquote land and stadium deal in Tampa Bay, Florida.

1243
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 2: They still play in San Francisco, so it's not over yet.

1244
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 2: But for me, that's not even the bigger point. What

1245
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 2: people may not know around the country is that the

1246
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 2: A's are following the then San Diego Chargers blueprint to

1247
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 2: a t. They are purposefully trying to tick everybody off.

1248
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 2: They're trying to upset their fans, they're trying to lose,

1249
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 2: They're trying to have all of their facilities break down.

1250
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this. There's a damn

1251
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 2: possum living in the visiting broadcast booth and they won't

1252
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 2: get rid of it. The visiting broadcasters just need to,

1253
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 2: you know, go somewhere else.

1254
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. That's a real story.

1255
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 2: So they're trying to take people off, purposefullly, lose purposely.

1256
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 2: That way, nobody will vote for anything that they want,

1257
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 2: and then they can say, oh, we put forth a

1258
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 2: good faith effort, now we've got to leave. That's the game.

1259
01:17:56,840 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 2: Dean Spano's played, same thing the A's are doing. For me.

1260
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 2: From this leads all to the same place. You and

1261
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 2: I had that conversation about the Mavericks, and they're tanking.

1262
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 2: Sports has got a problem, and there need to be

1263
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 2: bigger penalties when teams show that they are actively not

1264
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 2: trying to win.

1265
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,719
Speaker 3: I agree with that, because the disservice is to the fans,

1266
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 3: it's to the people paying the money to cheer on

1267
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 3: their team. That's where that that that's when the business

1268
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 3: and the egos, that's that's when they conflate what the

1269
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 3: real notion of sport is. It's entertainment. People want to

1270
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 3: be entertained and they don't want to trust the process.

1271
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 3: That's a long time. Shout out to Philly, right, that's

1272
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 3: a long time. The A's have been on this moneyball

1273
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 3: thing for long. When the Bash brothers, I mean, come on, bro,

1274
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:54,799
Speaker 3: I mean.

1275
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 2: Brother, they made a movie about it, and that movie

1276
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,679
Speaker 2: is now old and it's still happened.

1277
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 3: It's still it's old. The players on the team, they

1278
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 3: weren't even alive. So they've taken this thing that was

1279
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 3: once a blueprint or an alternate way of building a

1280
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 3: successful franchise and they've run it into the ground. If

1281
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 3: you're not evolving as an organization in any professional sports,

1282
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 3: then you're not playing on the same playing field as

1283
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 3: everyone else. Say what you want about analytics. It changed

1284
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,879
Speaker 3: the game. Say what you want about you know, nutrition,

1285
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 3: It changed the game. If you're not evolving, you're devolving.

1286
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 2: I just wonder, what's the purpose of a professional sports team?

1287
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,599
Speaker 2: You know, what's the purpose of life. I believe it's

1288
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 2: to be happy. What's the purpose of a professional sports team.

1289
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 2: It's to win and then not doing it. So more

1290
01:19:58,080 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 2: on that coming up. We'll get back to the Lakers

1291
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 2: and the Warriors as well on Fox Sports Radio.

01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go. Let's call it a nightcap, if

1297
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 2: you will. That's what the Nuggets and Timberwolves are trying

1298
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 2: to put together. The Nuggets looking for the sweep, the

1299
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 2: Tea Wolves trying to put together something that will probably

1300
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 2: just lead to a gentleman's sweep. But we shall see.

1301
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the Tirach dot com studios tyrag

1305
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 2: should be a lot of Warriors, a lot of Lakers,

1306
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 2: a lot of possibilities on this show. And we'll get

1307
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 2: back to that coming up in a second. But you

1308
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 2: know what, a from I wanted to throw this at you,

1309
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,640
Speaker 2: especially after the conversation we were just having that was

1310
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 2: inspired by the ridiculous John Fisher led Oakland A's situation, relocation,

1311
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 2: losing on purpose, upsetting fans, media and players on purpose,

1312
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 2: all of it is absolutely unconscionable. And I hear this

1313
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,680
Speaker 2: all the time, and it's now become a phrase that

1314
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 2: bothers me a little bit. It's not that it's not true,

1315
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 2: but I think that it's being used a little bit

1316
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 2: too loosely. And that is this. Sports are a business,

1317
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 2: Yes they are. And so if you are, for instance,

1318
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 2: like you Ephram, and it was your job and you

1319
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 2: were making a salary, you wanted to be paid your

1320
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 2: worth and you were trying to take care of a family.

1321
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 2: From that perspective, sure to business, no different than the

1322
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 2: team side. If they would like to not employ you

1323
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 2: anymore or not pay you what you're worth, they have

1324
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 2: option to move on. In those ways. It's a business.

1325
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 2: When we use it in the ways that the Oakland

1326
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 2: A's are using it. Now, I get bothered because what,

1327
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 2: unfortunately happens is we seem to accept that owners of

1328
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:24,759
Speaker 2: professional sports teams get to operate their business no different

1329
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 2: than say, the owner of the Home Depot would operate THEIRS.

1330
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 2: And I don't get that. I don't get why there

1331
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 2: aren't protections in place to help us all acknowledge the

1332
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 2: fact that a sports team is a very different business

1333
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 2: than others. If I go to Home Depot a lot

1334
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 2: because I need some tools, I don't really care what

1335
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 2: the daily outcome for the home Depot is. I don't

1336
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 2: really care if they make their bottom line that day.

1337
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 2: I don't want them to go out of business. But

1338
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm not like, not only did I buy a new hammer,

1339
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 2: but I painted my face with home on one side

1340
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 2: and Depot on the other and let's go home Depot.

1341
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 2: I don't do that because I'm not a crazy person,

1342
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 2: but I might do that for my favorite sports team.

1343
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,440
Speaker 2: So why are we acting like this is any other business.

1344
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 2: This business is based on human beings caring what the

1345
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 2: outcome of their product is, so you shouldn't be able

1346
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 2: to run it like any other business and just do

1347
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 2: whatever the hell your bottom line.

1348
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 3: Asks you to do. That's my point. Yeah, I think.

1349
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 3: I think when winning isn't the goal, then you open

1350
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 3: your sofa for all kinds of things when winning isn't

1351
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 3: the goal, right, and that's tanking that you know, trying

1352
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 3: to force the more like, when winning isn't a goal

1353
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:22,560
Speaker 3: in sports, that's when you open yourself up for just foolishness.

1354
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 3: And you see that a lot, right, It's when you

1355
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 3: get into playing these sports as professional athletes, as athletes

1356
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 3: because you're chasing something.

1357
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 2: Right.

1358
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 3: Of course, you got talent, you make it to the

1359
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 3: league that's baseball, football, soccer, whatever it is. You're just

1360
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 3: not out there playing right first year maybe. But the

1361
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 3: second part is you're chasing something because is it's a

1362
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:07,519
Speaker 3: team thing. You're going forward, and so you got to

1363
01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 3: be willing to do what it takes to accomplish that goal.

1364
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 3: And somewhere along the line, franchises own it. It just

1365
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 3: becomes a secondary thing and not the main focus.

1366
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 2: It's wild to me because it just I get how

1367
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 2: the structure works. People go, well, why can't the commissioner

1368
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,639
Speaker 2: do something? Well, the commissioner is an employee of the owners.

1369
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 2: As we know, that's rights true in all sports. Roger

1370
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 2: Goodell is not in charge of Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones

1371
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 2: is in charge of Roger Goodell. So that part I

1372
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 2: get what I guess I wish there was and maybe

1373
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 2: I'm just asking for some sort of pie in the sky,

1374
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 2: you know, kind of existence. But on your way in

1375
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 2: to owning a professional sports franchise, it seems like there

1376
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 2: ought to be some contractual agreements in place with regard

1377
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 2: to how you are going to conduct your business. And

1378
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure that they would be able to find loopholes

1379
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 2: in that even if there were. But the bottom line is,

1380
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 2: it's just it's crazy to me that people are able

1381
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 2: to buy these sports franchises and then simply sit back

1382
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 2: and operate them the same way you would operate any

1383
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 2: other business, where you're just like I am going to

1384
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: make all of the moves possible to make the most money.

1385
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 2: That's I understand that. That's supposed that's capitalism, that's the

1386
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 2: American way, eh. Not sports. Sorry, you don't get to

1387
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 2: do that. You don't get to be led solely by

1388
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 2: making money or else. I know I'm saying that, and

1389
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 2: actually yes you do, unfortunately, but you shouldn't. You shouldn't

1390
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,440
Speaker 2: because that is disingenuous to your customers.

1391
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you lose sight of winning, you lose sight

1392
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 3: of your customers, you lose sight of the fans. When

1393
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 3: you spend more time doing deals that don't have anything

1394
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 3: to do with the actual product people are watching, that's

1395
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 3: a red flag.

1396
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, look, it takes time to build something great,

1397
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,680
Speaker 1: but if you're not taking the steps to get to

1398
01:27:55,720 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 1: that place, then you're wasting time. And I think that's

1399
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: where people.

1400
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 3: Get a little clouded because look, man, Philadelphia did it.

1401
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,000
Speaker 1: How many years do we hear? Trust the process?

1402
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 2: It feels like thirty two.

1403
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 3: Right, trust the process, tankingness, and then b comes in,

1404
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 3: He's hurt two years, trust the process. He's gonna be

1405
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:28,760
Speaker 3: the one. Well, they very well might come out of

1406
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 3: the East to the to the finals, depending on what's

1407
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 3: going on with the honest I mean, the Bucks are

1408
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:39,960
Speaker 3: in trouble because Miami, Miami's playing zero games with him.

1409
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 3: The Bucks are in trouble. No matter how you want

1410
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 3: to look at it, the Bucks are in trouble. And

1411
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:53,799
Speaker 3: the last thing thing they want is to be dealing

1412
01:28:53,840 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 3: with a Jimmy Butler, Joe Man brother.

1413
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 2: Hey, well, and here's the other thing. And I get

1414
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 2: that there are people listening to me going, oh, then

1415
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:09,639
Speaker 2: this cute. You know, this is almost like Jerry Maguire like, oh,

1416
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 2: we should have more attention and fewer clients and less money.

1417
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 2: And it's like you're fired. Like, I get it. I

1418
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 2: get how this sounds. But what if I put it

1419
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:22,760
Speaker 2: to you this way from if I go to the

1420
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 2: grocery store and I buy a box of cereal as

1421
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:32,760
Speaker 2: a customer for putting that money down, what do I

1422
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 2: expect is in that box? Uh? Cereal? Cereal? Okay, great,

1423
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 2: So that's what I paid for and I got my cereal.

1424
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 2: And if I didn't get cereal in that box, not

1425
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 2: on what are you listening? Would think that I shouldn't

1426
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 2: go back to the store and get my money back. Now,

1427
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:58,759
Speaker 2: if I buy a ticket or I buy season tickets

1428
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 2: to my face favorite sports team, what am I buying?

1429
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 3: You're buying entertainment and you're buying basically cereal. You want

1430
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 3: some cereal? Right, so you want to see a competitive

1431
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to go and watch teams. I mean, look, bro,

1432
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 3: loyalty is one thing, but nobody has money to just

1433
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 3: blow Nobody has and I was talking to my wife.

1434
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 3: I said, man, my youngest son is just did that's

1435
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 3: my basketball buddy. Man, Like, we're in it. He runs.

1436
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 3: I got this little, this breakaway basketball rim that hangs

1437
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 3: on the door, and all day, all night, all you

1438
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 3: hear is him just dunking. He's just dunking, dunking, dunking Kobe.

1439
01:30:54,520 --> 01:31:00,799
Speaker 3: He's screaming out coke. And I was like, man, should

1440
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 3: I take him to see Game five Monday? And she

1441
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, he go crazy. So then

1442
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:18,960
Speaker 3: I look at the tickets and I'm like, oh, now,

1443
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 3: and and I want to just I preface this by saying,

1444
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:31,519
Speaker 3: I don't sit. Yeah, I can't. That's not what I've

1445
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 3: worked too hard. That's not what we're doing here. Okay, anytime,

1446
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 3: if I'm going somewhere, I'm going.

1447
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 2: And so.

1448
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the season, I'm like, but but I say,

1449
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 3: I'm doing it me and my my guy. And I'm

1450
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 3: not gonna even tell him until we get to the

1451
01:31:56,160 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 3: stable center and he's going, I mean the crypto, crypto script,

1452
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 3: whatever you call. He's gonna freak out. But number one,

1453
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 3: I'm paying for a great product because this is this

1454
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 3: is playoff they're going at it. This is gonna be

1455
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 3: a great game Number two, Right, it's I'm buying memories

1456
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 3: and because the product is great, I'm making a core

1457
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 3: memory for my young buck, who's a dynamic basketball player.

1458
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 2: Right.

1459
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 3: If the product is terrible, Bro, that's a nightmare. That's

1460
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 3: not a core memory. That's a nightmare. Yep, all of

1461
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:50,240
Speaker 3: that goals. It's that that all of that matters. It's

1462
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:50,919
Speaker 3: a nightmare.

1463
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 2: Of course it is. Of course it is. And you

1464
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 2: know the question I started out by asking you, and

1465
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 2: you're right, like what what what did you buy? Sure,

1466
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:05,880
Speaker 2: you bought an entertainment? Okay, and you bought a game?

1467
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 2: Like what are you owed because of that ticket? You're

1468
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 2: owed a game and you're owed the entertainment of that game.

1469
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:16,559
Speaker 2: But I can further that statement, like what's function of

1470
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 2: the game, Like what is it that the group that

1471
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 2: you bought a ticket to go see is supposed to

1472
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 2: try to do win? I'm supposed to try to win

1473
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 2: the game. So like, I literally don't functionally understand how

1474
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 2: it's allowed for a team to not try to win it.

1475
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 2: To me, you're you're literally going against what's written in

1476
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,880
Speaker 2: the fine print on the back of the ticket, Like

1477
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,559
Speaker 2: if I was a Mavericks fan and I had tickets

1478
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 2: to that last game, and right and then, and the

1479
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 2: league has now fined them and seven hundred and fifty

1480
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Mark Cuban just made that while I sat

1481
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 2: here and said this sentence, So who cares. I would

1482
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 2: demand my money back. I would demand my money back,

1483
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 2: and then some just paying me for You gotta pay

1484
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 2: me for the gas that it took me to get here.

1485
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 2: You got to pay me for my time. You al

1486
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 2: saw what Southwest Airlines did after the holidays. They you

1487
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:24,400
Speaker 2: just have to give you. They had to pay for

1488
01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 2: your hotel, they'd pay for your food, they'd pay for

1489
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 2: your time. Man, did they give you some more just

1490
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 2: for the hell of it? I mean all of that.

1491
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 2: So this is this is something that it's with load

1492
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 2: management and beyond. It's only growing in sports. And so

1493
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:42,479
Speaker 2: I don't I think this is just the beginning of

1494
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 2: this conversation because there's too much of it in too

1495
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 2: many different forms, which is teams that are not functioning

1496
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:55,040
Speaker 2: with their actual prison for existing, which is to try

1497
01:34:55,080 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 2: to win the game. All right. This is all brought

1502
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:19,280
Speaker 2: if it is Warriors, Lakers, Nuggets and Suns. There's a

1503
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 2: message being spread across the NBA that some people won't love.

1504
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:26,200
Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

1505
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 2: All right, we are in the tai Raq dot com studios.

1506
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 2: That's it from Salam. I'm Mark Willard. Glad you're with

1507
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:39,960
Speaker 2: us tonight. All right, So what if it's Warriors, Lakers,

1508
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 2: Nuggets and Suns, which, by the way, Vegas says, right now,

1509
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:48,479
Speaker 2: that's exactly what it's gonna be. We'll see Denver's definitely

1510
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 2: gonna be there, Phoenix is gonna be there. I think

1511
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers are probably gonna be there, and I think

1512
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:59,160
Speaker 2: the Warriors are probably go there. I use my voice

1513
01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 2: there to tell you my confidence in the four as

1514
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 2: far as getting in. But like, look at the messaging

1515
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 2: from if those four favorites do finish these series off.

1516
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 2: First of all, being young and athletic, h you can

1517
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 2: forget that that doesn't work Kobe, I mean Shack and Penny, right,

1518
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:30,559
Speaker 2: I mean, it's all the experienced teams, the older teams.

1519
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 2: It's teams that I mean. I don't know. I always

1520
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,800
Speaker 2: like the word continuity. I don't know if I can

1521
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 2: say that about the Lakers and the Suns. You know,

1522
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 2: their their their cores are mostly in place, except for

1523
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant that's brand new. But we'll see sort of

1524
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 2: how that plays out in the next round. But it's

1525
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,040
Speaker 2: older teams, it's experienced teams. And guess what else it

1526
01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:58,759
Speaker 2: is ephm, it's it's Uh, it's a lot of teams

1527
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 2: that just their stars and watched a lot of regular

1528
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:04,240
Speaker 2: season basketball games this year.

1529
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 3: He look, man, you can be young and energetic and

1530
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,439
Speaker 3: an upstart and you can do all of that stuff.

1531
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 3: And that's what Golden State was, right. They had built something.

1532
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 3: Mark Jackson had started the foundation of what they are now, right,

1533
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:29,560
Speaker 3: getting those guys to buy in and play defense, offensive stars.

1534
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 3: Mark Jackson started that right, uh, and Steve Kirk took

1535
01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 3: it to the next level. Okay, it is what it is.

1536
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:47,919
Speaker 3: But Andre Iguodala was the calming force, was the veteran

1537
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:57,760
Speaker 3: leadership in the early championship for Golden State. That's why

1538
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:05,400
Speaker 3: he won finals MVP. So you can be young and

1539
01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 3: energetic and talented all you want, but if you don't

1540
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 3: have that steadying ship, if that focus, then it's not

1541
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 3: gonna go well for you.

1542
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:21,800
Speaker 2: It's not.

1543
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 3: And look at super Bowls, look at our sport. I

1544
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 3: was on a team that we were young and energetic,

1545
01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:35,479
Speaker 3: and it's us.

1546
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 2: We're here.

1547
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 1: We made it all the way to the Super Bowl

1548
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:43,760
Speaker 1: and the team that had been there already just melee us.

1549
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 2: Yep.

1550
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:47,760
Speaker 3: They weren't excited to be there. They were there on

1551
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 3: the business trip. We were excited to be there. And

1552
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 3: that's what you have with the Lakers, that's what you

1553
01:38:54,280 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 3: have with Golden State. This is a business trip. The

1554
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:09,840
Speaker 3: excitement died, you know, when the regular season in the play,

1555
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 3: the play ended, and now it's time for business because

1556
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:20,719
Speaker 3: none of your record, what you did in February, in March,

1557
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 3: in October, none of that matters anymore. And it takes

1558
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 3: a strong minded crew to realize that and understand that.

1559
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 3: It's why Lebron ain't got no time to be worried

1560
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 3: about Dylan Brooks.

1561
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 2: Bro please.

1562
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:46,360
Speaker 3: Come on, bruh, Like he was like Yo, man, I

1563
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 3: played way too much basketball. Bron Day has been in

1564
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:55,479
Speaker 3: the final ten times. What cank Dylan Brooks do that

1565
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 3: he hasn't seen? So just to even he didn't even

1566
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:01,639
Speaker 3: their teams. I go, I'm not about to talk about

1567
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 3: this clown. I'm here to talk about the game.

1568
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 2: Now.

1569
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:08,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting.

1570
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:08,320
Speaker 2: Now.

1571
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what the league's gonna do.

1572
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: Are they gonna suspend them?

1573
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:18,960
Speaker 3: It was clearly, you know, a premeditated situation based on

1574
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 3: sure how he's walked into this situation.

1575
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 2: But they won't.

1576
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:28,799
Speaker 3: We're gonna see I mean, well, they say, here's what

1577
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 3: they say, you your past behavior.

1578
01:40:32,760 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 2: And yep, but I don't. I don't buy it here,

1579
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 2: Like like, here's what I've come to believe since what

1580
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 2: we've seen from Joe LMBI kicking people in there, you

1581
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 2: know what's And then now you've got Dylan Brooks and

1582
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,920
Speaker 2: and if you you wrap both of those things together,

1583
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:52,599
Speaker 2: you have some of Draymond Green's history, and no one

1584
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,840
Speaker 2: else is going to be suspended. And and here's what

1585
01:40:54,920 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 2: I've come to believe, Like, sure there was the act,

1586
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:02,599
Speaker 2: even though it was instigated by Sabonis, that's not why

1587
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 2: he got suspended.

1588
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 1: And then there's his history and.

1589
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,640
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that, but that's not why he got suspended,

1590
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 2: because you don't you don't give an advantage to the

1591
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings because of something Draymond did five years ago.

1592
01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 2: He got suspended because of what he was doing while

1593
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:25,520
Speaker 2: they were conducting the review, standing on the bench, seemingly

1594
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,120
Speaker 2: trying to incite fans, calling them all kinds of words

1595
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:33,360
Speaker 2: that are not suitable for the kids he from, and

1596
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 2: Adam Silver sitting there looking at him, going, you know

1597
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 2: what this This takes one drunk fan yep to huck

1598
01:41:42,960 --> 01:41:49,080
Speaker 2: a beard at his head and it's on Detroit basket

1599
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:53,760
Speaker 2: ball and the league does not want that. And that,

1600
01:41:54,400 --> 01:42:00,679
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is why Draymond Green got suspended. Yeah,

1601
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:05,000
Speaker 2: you're right, That's why Dylan won't That's why Dylan Brooks

1602
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 2: won't be Dylan was informed that he was that he

1603
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: was ejected. He went what and they turned around and

1604
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:15,600
Speaker 2: walked out the gym. Yeah.

1605
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this whole poke the bear thing and all that,

1606
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 3: that's what I oh, his nauseating Yeah, and you know,

1607
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 3: at a certain point of the Lee is gonna be like,

1608
01:42:24,439 --> 01:42:26,759
Speaker 3: all right, well, you got to change your focus, because

1609
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 3: if your focus is out there to poke the bear,

1610
01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 3: he poked Lebron in the in the privates. So what

1611
01:42:32,080 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 3: are we doing? How are we poking the bear? Is

1612
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 3: this metaphorically?

1613
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 2: Is this?

1614
01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 3: You get what I'm saying. So the intent I'm talking about,

1615
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 3: the intent, the premeditation. He's already told us this is

1616
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:44,120
Speaker 3: what he's going to do.

1617
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:48,720
Speaker 2: Worse than what Draymond did. Draymond not even the instigator.

1618
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:52,000
Speaker 3: Right, you know, yes, So That's where I'm coming from, right, like,

1619
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 3: you've set a precedent. This is what you said you

1620
01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 3: were going to do, and you went out there and

1621
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 3: did it. Okay, So now we got to really look

1622
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 3: at this different way, you know, much different than the

1623
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:15,559
Speaker 3: one we call the truth sayer, much different than the

1624
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 3: one Steve who we call the one that's our very

1625
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:27,960
Speaker 3: own Steven Oh to say good.

1626
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:29,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, they would never do that, by the way, Wojan

1627
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 6: ESPN for what it's worse is, the NBA does review

1628
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 6: all flagrant fouls. They have reviewed Dylan Brooks flagrant two

1629
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,919

1705
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,679
Speaker 2: need like that was I saw that, Steve. Those nice

1706
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 2: of you. Thank you. I appreciate it.

1707
01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:18,960
Speaker 6: They should sign Bumgardner just to pitch batting practice from

1708
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:20,519
Speaker 6: next monthly, just.

1709
01:47:20,439 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 2: To throw at him. I just just like designated throw

1710
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:26,040
Speaker 2: at Max and then you can go back to the

1711
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:32,800
Speaker 2: dugout like that's fine. Oh gosh, you know what else

1712
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 2: I was I was thinking about just uh in listening

1713
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 2: to uh to all of that that was that was

1714
01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 2: going down. You look at these uh these basketball series,

1715
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 2: this Denver Minnesota series. Have you ever been a situation

1716
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,679
Speaker 2: like this, see from I guess football would never really

1717
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 2: uh give this to you, But Minnesota's out here at

1718
01:47:57,080 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 2: home and playing for their lives, if you will. You

1719
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:05,720
Speaker 2: also mentioned it earlier today, though it's never happened in

1720
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:08,360
Speaker 2: the history of the league. No one's coming back from

1721
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 2: three to zero. So this sucker is a rap. And

1722
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 2: it just I almost wonder the mentality collectively of both

1723
01:48:17,520 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 2: of these basketball teams, because Denver knows damn well, like,

1724
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 2: we don't have to win this, but we just go

1725
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 2: win it in Denver in a couple of nights if

1726
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 2: you want. And the Wolves are like, we're out. So

1727
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 2: I get you know, I'm not saying don't play hard.

1728
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 2: You know, everybody's got pride all of that, But this

1729
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 2: is I'm just watching this game right now, and I'm

1730
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 2: sort of looking for evidence of the mental approach of

1731
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 2: both of these teams.

1732
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 3: Well, for the Timberwolves, no shot is a bad shot, right,

1733
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:54,040
Speaker 3: you tell you guys before they go out there, Hey man,

1734
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:58,600
Speaker 3: let it fly, let it fly. No shot is a

1735
01:48:58,640 --> 01:49:02,760
Speaker 3: bad shot. Play free as you can. And let's just

1736
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 3: see what this thing looks like at the end of

1737
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:08,800
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. Right, It's no, Big Rod Ross Beach

1738
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 3: just know like we can no. No, what we're doing

1739
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 3: is we're gonna go out there. We're gonna play ball

1740
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:24,040
Speaker 3: like we're at the park. And that's a freeing, liberating

1741
01:49:24,080 --> 01:49:27,280
Speaker 3: way to play. On the flip side of that, for Denver,

1742
01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 3: you don't want to mess up and allow a team

1743
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:38,719
Speaker 3: to keep going in a series you know you're gonna win, right,

1744
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 3: because now you're cutting down on the rest days. You

1745
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 3: just want to travel home and go home, right, because

1746
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:49,760
Speaker 3: the last thing you want to do is go home

1747
01:49:49,800 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 3: for a game. They win that one. Now you got

1748
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 3: to come back, right. Very difficult for a team to

1749
01:49:56,920 --> 01:49:59,599
Speaker 3: win four games in a row after being down three.

1750
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 3: You got you gotta have a different perspective. It's it's

1751
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 3: easier for the Timberwolves. They just out there playing.

1752
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just let it hang out. They've reached the

1753
01:50:14,320 --> 01:50:16,960
Speaker 2: half and Denver is up by four. Then here's the

1754
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:21,080
Speaker 2: other thing. And I think we alluded to this briefly

1755
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the show. Draymond Green brought this

1756
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:29,600
Speaker 2: up on his pod recently and said, basically, the Clippers,

1757
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:31,640
Speaker 2: I think he used a different word for it, but

1758
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 2: they caught a bad break and it's because of what

1759
01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:38,720
Speaker 2: you guys were just talking about. The box office of

1760
01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 2: this all he goes think about it. The Clippers lost

1761
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 2: their best player to a mysterious injury, and one would

1762
01:50:47,439 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 2: think he might be able to make it back, and

1763
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:52,719
Speaker 2: what would help him make back would be more days.

1764
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 2: The Clippers Sun series has not yet had one scenario

1765
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:03,240
Speaker 2: where they've had two days off in between games. Meantime,

1766
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:07,679
Speaker 2: Warriors and the Lakers, that's almost all they're getting. Why,

1767
01:51:08,600 --> 01:51:14,680
Speaker 2: because the television networks are selecting Lebron and Steph to

1768
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 2: be on TV in the prime moments, and so the

1769
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:21,919
Speaker 2: Suns and Clippers have gone.

1770
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:25,360
Speaker 1: Game day, game day, game day, game day.

1771
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 2: I got to look this up to make sure I'm accurate,

1772
01:51:28,200 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 2: but I feel like the Suns Clippers series started after

1773
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:38,520
Speaker 2: the Warriors Kings. Yet they were done with four games yesterday. Yes, right,

1774
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 2: so they played, right, they played four games essentially in

1775
01:51:43,080 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 2: less time than it took to Warriors and Kings to

1776
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:50,880
Speaker 2: play three. That is accurate. Yeah, so that's kind of

1777
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 2: that's a nice little thing for the Warriors and the Lakers. Two.

1778
01:51:55,400 --> 01:52:01,200
Speaker 3: It is what it is. You're right, nobody feel sorry

1779
01:52:01,200 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 3: for you. You rested your guys are like what happened to

1780
01:52:06,439 --> 01:52:10,960
Speaker 3: Paul George. I was freakish, right, But nobody saw this

1781
01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 3: coming down the pipe for Kawhi. Remember at the beginning

1782
01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 3: of this, of the beginning of the playoffs, I said,

1783
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:23,400
Speaker 3: this is going to be a war of attrition. The

1784
01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:27,439
Speaker 3: teams that stay the healthiest are the teams that have

1785
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 3: the advantage.

1786
01:52:29,439 --> 01:52:32,719
Speaker 2: Am I not right? Of course?

1787
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 3: And I know that's an easy thing to say. But

1788
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:37,760
Speaker 3: when you look at the Bucks in the situation they're in,

1789
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:40,280
Speaker 3: no one knew Yiannis was going to go out with

1790
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:45,200
Speaker 3: a back contusion. No one saw that happening. We definitely

1791
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:51,120
Speaker 3: didn't see Kawhi Leonard would whatever is happening here. Maybe

1792
01:52:51,160 --> 01:52:56,680
Speaker 3: they knew, but we didn't know. We didn't know that

1793
01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 3: Tyler Hurrell was going to break his hand in. We

1794
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:05,479
Speaker 3: didn't know Victor Olodipot was gonna tell us potent put

1795
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:11,559
Speaker 3: Tel attendon. So now we're at a situation where who

1796
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:15,719
Speaker 3: can stay the healthiest and who can keep their core

1797
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:25,240
Speaker 3: parts healthy. The depth, that's the scary thing the Sons

1798
01:53:25,240 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 3: are dealing with. They have no depth off the worst

1799
01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 3: bench in all of the playoffs, and these guys are

1800
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 3: playing forty two forty in look their pros, this is

1801
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 3: what they do. It's playoff times. We can play a

1802
01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 3: whole forty eight. Kevin Durant said it yesterday. I want

1803
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:46,559
Speaker 3: to play the whole forty eight. But brother, I tell

1804
01:53:46,600 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 3: you what. That's cool in the first series, But as

1805
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:55,040
Speaker 3: you get deeper into this water boy that is gonna

1806
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:56,360
Speaker 3: come jump on your back.

1807
01:53:57,760 --> 01:53:58,360
Speaker 2: We all know.

1808
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 1: But that's where we are.

1809
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 3: That's what do you think the fact that Lebron and

1810
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 3: ad are playing thirty two minutes a game and they're

1811
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:10,720
Speaker 3: up to one.

1812
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that is what you want.

1813
01:54:21,080 --> 01:54:21,920
Speaker 2: That is.

1814
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:28,080
Speaker 3: Exactly how you want to go through this, especially the

1815
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 3: early rounds.

1816
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Steph had to do forty three today,

1817
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:36,520
Speaker 2: not necessarily ideas not great, Yeah.

1818
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:38,320
Speaker 1: Because they're in a dog fright.

1819
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 2: No doubt. And that leads right to what I want

1820
01:54:42,560 --> 01:54:45,440
Speaker 2: to do coming up next. By the time we get

1821
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:49,760
Speaker 2: back here next Sunday, E from how Will the World Look?

1822
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:52,800
Speaker 2: I got a bunch of questions for you to predict

1823
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 2: what it's going to look like when you and I

1824
01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 2: get back here together again next Sunday. That's next on

1825
01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Fox Set.

1826
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:03,160
Speaker 4: The log Do spins on bunch of the Traymont pass

1827
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 4: over to bars parts for three.

1828
01:55:05,080 --> 01:55:06,800

Speaker 2: first pick in the NFL draft, Bryce Young? I agree?

1843
01:56:14,240 --> 01:56:19,520
Speaker 2: Who will have slipt Mm hmm.

1844
01:56:23,120 --> 01:56:26,520
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. Yeah, yeah, that that that's a

1845
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:35,080
Speaker 3: tough one because I don't know necessarily, you know, you

1846
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:38,000
Speaker 3: get of course, you get the two quarterbacks c J

1847
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 3: and and and Bryce. So if we're talking in terms

1848
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:47,879
Speaker 3: of slipping, uh, maybe Will.

1849
01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: Levis concerns about c J at all.

1850
01:56:54,280 --> 01:56:56,480
Speaker 3: No, I know that the article came out of it's

1851
01:56:56,600 --> 01:56:59,480
Speaker 3: saying he's not smart, which I think.

1852
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:03,400
Speaker 2: It's not saying, yeah, that's a bunch of bo that's

1853
01:57:03,440 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of junk. Yeah, like the one that I saw.

1854
01:57:06,960 --> 01:57:11,640
Speaker 2: And I don't even know how confirmed this is, But

1855
01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:14,240
Speaker 2: have you heard of that whole S two cognition thing.

1856
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:22,040
Speaker 2: It's this advanced analytic test that they are putting quarterbacks

1857
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 2: through that essentially tries to test their ability to run

1858
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:32,760
Speaker 2: through progressions on an offense, see the entire field, the

1859
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:37,120
Speaker 2: way they can move through the process of quarterbacking. And

1860
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 2: apparently it's been very, very predictive in the last handful

1861
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 2: of years. Give you an example. We talk a lot

1862
01:57:45,960 --> 01:57:48,960
Speaker 2: about it here because you know who was off the

1863
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 2: charts on the test was brock Purty, and so some

1864
01:57:55,440 --> 01:57:57,840
Speaker 2: people are looking at it like, well, this guy doesn't

1865
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 2: have all this like clear cut talent, but his S

1866
01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 2: two cognition score was really high. I mean, the wonder

1867
01:58:04,920 --> 01:58:08,040
Speaker 2: way the world was too right, Yeah, there was, Well

1868
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,560
Speaker 2: there's that. I mean that's been around forever, so this

1869
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:12,600
Speaker 2: is sort of a new veaud way of looking at it.

1870
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:16,160
Speaker 2: And there was I guess some concerns with with CJ's

1871
01:58:16,200 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 2: score on that.

1872
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it comes to stuff like that, man, you

1873
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 3: know I'm not buying because I think it takes more.

1874
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 3: I think it takes more. And everybody I had to

1875
01:58:31,960 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 3: promise you, man, what we've learned. And you have kids,

1876
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:39,920
Speaker 3: so you understand this. Everybody does not learn the same

1877
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:47,280
Speaker 3: way or take test or take tests the same way. Right, Yes,

1878
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 3: So if you're going to start testing me on things

1879
01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 3: outside of football, like, I'm not going to subscribe to

1880
01:58:57,400 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 3: that because you know, we live in a world of

1881
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 3: standardized tests that diminished people's abilities or with their thought

1882
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:09,760
Speaker 3: of their abilities, and I'm not going for that.

1883
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:09,960
Speaker 2: Bro.

1884
01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:13,080
Speaker 3: If Bruck can play, he can play. From what I've

1885
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:17,520
Speaker 3: seen is he can play. Okay, So if you if

1886
01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:20,440
Speaker 3: that's what you're gonna do, then go right ahead. That's

1887
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:22,280
Speaker 3: more fire for him because he's going to be on

1888
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:26,120
Speaker 3: the team.

1889
01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:32,480
Speaker 2: The Bucks still playing next time we talk? Yes? Are

1890
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:34,280

01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:34,520
Speaker 8: No?

Speaker 1: Does the next round start?

1893
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:39,600
Speaker 2: No? No, they're they're they're resting. No, you know what

1894
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:43,680
Speaker 2: I mean? I know? Oh yeah, oh yeah.

1895
