Speaker 2: should be Well. Last Saturday, I did something that I

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: so rarely do. I actually took a Saturday off I know,

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: and the reason being I was at my daughter's college

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: graduation from Loyola Marymount and it was a wonderful graduation ceremony.

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 3: I want to thank carry for hanging with you. How

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: did that go?

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: I heard you, guy, I heard you. Guys did not

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: two eyes? He decided to double up.

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: We did. We ended up doing four hours together.

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm not like you that can just

19
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: put a show together on the fly.

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: So I actually prepped a show. No, yeah, no, I

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: I can't do you, guys.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: Steve Barvis does everything on the fly in the most

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: magical way. You know, you would not imagine that he

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 4: just walks in here just knowing already what he wants

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: to do, nothing written down, and I'm just along for

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 4: the ride.

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 2: Well I can't do that, see, but that always puts

28
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: all my partners in a very challenging situations. So most

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: people that I work with, once they get it, they

30
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: just figured it out. Now, you were natural because obviously

31
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: you've been part of the Sunday so you know now

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: this operates. But yeah, I mean I put my partners

33
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: to a challenge. Guess we're not going to take phone calls,

34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: you know, we will have some guests on none of that.

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: We're just going to be talking about sports. We got

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: a lot of things going on right now in the

37
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: sports where we'll keep our eye on this matchup right now.

38
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: Series tied at one apiece Dallas and Oklahoma City. Oklahoma

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: City came into the series on a roll, won the

40
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: first game easily, but then Dallas pulls the upset on

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: the road and now Dallas has a five point lead.

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: We're under thirty seconds to go right now and the

43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: clock is running down. I don't know what OKAC is thinking.

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: They're down five twenty seconds to go.

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, this game was sloppy to start, Like the first half.

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: I was like, what is going on here. It was sloppy.

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 4: But luckily for both teams, they were both sloppy. So

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: that's why it's still a close game because they both

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: made just small little mental mistakes. They weren't taking care

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: of the ball.

51
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: They everybody, well, Dodg, you just lost the ball right there. Unbelievable.

52
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Okayc with a chance homegun gets fouled going to the

53
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: hoop right there, So okase not out of this. I

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: like what Jason Kidd said after getting blown out of

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: that first game, like we got to go back to

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: the drawing board. That was the sign of a not

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: only one of the great players of all time Hall

58
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: of Famer, but an experienced coach. And then Dallas came

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: back with the road victory in Game two, and now

60
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: with ten seconds to go, Dallas with the five point lead,

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: pretty much in the driver's seat.

62
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: Have you been excited about.

63
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Any of these series that we have now we're now

64
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: down to the conference semi finals.

65
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be real.

66
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: The Western Conference has been more exciting, yes, than the

67
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference for sure. And even though there have been blowouts.

68
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: You know, we saw Minnesota just kind of handle Denver,

69
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: but Denver has bounced back. They're back in it. So

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: despite the blowouts, the Western Conference to me has been

71
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 4: really really fun to watch, and even the Eastern Conference,

72
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: like watching the Magic just flourish, you know against the Calves. Now,

73
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 4: who I don't see flourishing are the Celtics.

74
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: Like the Celtics, I watched them.

75
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: Don't worry about the Celtics.

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the Celtics looked ugly in that

77
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: second game, but they did the same thing against Miami

78
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: and then they blew them out three straight games.

79
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: Right, but Miami, they should have never lost to Miami

80
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: without Jimmy Butler. Jimmy was not even playing. That they

81
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: should have been embarrassed about. But they do this. They

82
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: let teams that they should not let in. They let

83
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: them get in and they get crushed at home.

84
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: This isn't new.

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: And they're playing without christophs porzingis I instead of trying

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: to fine tune things and not let these big.

87
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Blowouts happening at home. It's just like y'all do this

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: every year every year.

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: All right.

90
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: So Homger made a couple of free throws, so Dallas's

91
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: lead is now three with seven point two seconds to go. Immediately,

92
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: they fell Doncic on the inbound pass, So as long

93
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: as he knocks down free throws.

94
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's all banged up, his knee, his ankle, and

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 4: not that you know, everybody is banged up, but he's

96
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: banged up.

97
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's the price you pay when you're handling the

98
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: ball ninety nine percent of.

99
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: The time for your team.

100
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: He made the first free throw. That was a big

101
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: one right there. So we'll keep our eye on this

102
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Mavericks Thunder game. And then again the series that is

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: surprisingly tied at one game a piece Celtics and the Cavs.

104
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: That game's going to be tipping off here in a

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: little bit. So we'll keep you update on what's going

106
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: on with these NBA playoffs. But I mean, you know,

107
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: I wanted to these these series, and I'm looking at

108
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: OKAC and I'm looking at Minnesota and the question is

109
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: how real are they? By the way, doncas just missed

110
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 2: the second free throw. Unfortunately for OKC the clock's running

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: out and that is game. Yes, it is over. Dallas

112
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: has now taken a two to one series lead, holding

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: home court, beating Oklahoma City one oh five to one

114
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: oh one. So then you watch Minnesota go on the road,

115
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: not just beat Denver twice on the road, blow.

116
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Them out, them out, yeah.

117
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: And you're just suddenly looking at Denver like, wow, we

118
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 2: said that Denver did not look all that great despite

119
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: the fact that they won that series against the Lakers.

120
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: Remember they trailed all five of those games at halftime,

121
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: and then you get blown out twice at home.

122
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: They're dead.

123
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a second you thought they were.

124
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: They're dead.

125
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they go into Minnesota and just annihilate

126
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: and make a fool out of us, Timberwolves. You know

127
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: who I give a lot of credit to is Malone

128
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: because I think as a coach and you you can

129
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: tell when a coach has been with a team and

130
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: a group of players for an extended period of time,

131
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: he knows how to connect with that team.

132
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: It wasn't gonna be a panic mode, all right.

133
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: We not only lost, we lost ugly, and we know

134
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: we can play better. And basically, I'm sure he said

135
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: going into Game three, I've been on you guys all

136
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: season long, this idea of just showing up when we

137
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: sort of want to show up because we're champions. It's

138
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: great to walk onto a court with a little bit

139
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: of arrogance a little swagger, but you got to play

140
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 2: and we don't match up well.

141
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: Their strength matches with our strength.

142
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: Our side advantage which we were able to take advantage

143
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: of against the Lakers does not play out when they

144
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: got Karl Anthony Townsend go Bear in the middle, so

145
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: we don't have that same advantage. But for them to

146
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: come out on the road in Game three and just

147
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: annihilate the Timberwolves and obviously get themselves back into the series,

148
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: to me, gets down to the impact that a coach

149
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: has when you hold a team together, when they've been

150
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: through the wars together. There wasn't any panic. We can

151
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: get this thing done. Let's just get back to playing

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: our game. Let's not worry about what they're doing. Let's

153
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: worry about what we're doing. So it'll be interesting, obviously

154
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: as they get ready for Game four in Minnesota.

155
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: All season, I think Denver looked like great. They were

156
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: just going through the motions all season. Yet they were

157
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: always like fighting for first play second place. They were

158
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: always at the top. But you felt like they were

159
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: going through the motions. You felt like they could do

160
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 4: a little bit more, and they managed to take down

161
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: the Lakers those first two games, especially the second one

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: without Rudy Gobert, you were just like, oh my goodness,

163
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: what maybe this is not the team that we thought

164
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: all of a sudden.

165
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: You're right.

166
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: Give it to the coaching staff for making adjustments, for

167
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: saying whatever it is that they said, because they completely

168
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: turned it around. Now let's are we gonna talk about

169
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: the fact that Jamal Murray should not have been playing

170
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: that game because he should not have been playing that game,

171
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: and why he should have been suspended.

172
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, you're gonna suspend people in the playoffs.

173
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: I just need I need you to be consistent, that's all.

174
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say sick like Draymond Green. Remember when he

175
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: got suspended for kicking Lebron and that you know what, yes, yeah, yeah,

176
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: and he got suspended. Yeah, but he was a multi

177
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: time offender.

178
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 4: Agreed, And so is Patrick Beverley. And now that suspension

179
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: was also a joke.

180
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: Jamal.

181
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 4: The thing is like, Jamal Murray threw something towards a

182
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: referee through something where someone could have slipped. And if

183
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: we're just gonna pretend like that's not a big deal.

184
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: What I'm afraid of is that other players are gonna

185
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, so I can throw something and it's

186
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 4: gonna be Okay.

187
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: That's what I'm afraid of that this is just gonna.

188
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: Push the boundaries for other players watching paying attention. You

189
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 4: get Patrick Beverley four okay, cool, cool, repeat defender Jamal

190
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: Murray not an All Star, technically not an All Star,

191
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: but he is.

192
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: We know he is for the Denver Nuggets and gets nothing.

193
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 4: If I'm a player, I'm just paying attention to that,

194
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 4: and maybe I'm gonna push the boundary.

195
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: All right, So let's let's assume for a second here

196
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: that the league did not do anything for Murray because

197
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: they want to say with Denver, and I'm thinking to myself,

198
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: why right. I mean Denver a year ago in their

199
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: matchup against the Heat, that series did not pull numbers. Yeah,

200
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: that series was down significantly from the previous year.

201
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: When he had the Celtics and the Warriors.

202
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: So Denver, I've said this before the playoffs and even

203
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: began the Denver in a lot of ways is like

204
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: San Antonio was back in the hey day with Tim

205
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: Duncan and Tony Parker and Mona Genobili.

206
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: They didn't pull numbers. No, you know, in a.

207
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: Lot of ways, Jokic is like Tim Duncan, the big fundamental.

208
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: He's not an exciting player. He's admired because he knows

209
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: how to play the game. His basketball IQ's off the charts,

210
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: but it's not like he's.

211
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: A must watch.

212
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they pull the numbers at home.

213
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So again I don't look at Denver as a

214
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: team that the league would be saying, oh, we have

215
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: got to get Denver into the NBA Finals again. If honestly,

216
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: if I were the league right now, I would be

217
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: far more favor of seeing the Timberwolves. Yeah, match up

218
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: against like the Boston Celtics, and I would see Denver back.

219
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: Again, I don't disagree, And it is funny that people

220
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: you know may have pushed that idea that, oh, it's

221
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: because they're protecting the Nuggets, but it does in reality,

222
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 4: it doesn't help that theory that there is a lot

223
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: of scriptedness happening when it comes to sports. It does

224
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 4: not help those people pushing that agenda. When you don't

225
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 4: suspend Jamal Murray just because I get it, it's Game three,

226
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: they're the defending champions, but it does not help that agenda.

227
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 4: I just think he should have because it was it

228
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 4: was as clear as day that you threw something in.

229
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: The direction of the referee on the court.

230
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: Maybe he just had bad a maybe, but not in

231
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: the playoffs. That's that's the argument, Murray. All he always

232
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: seems to be on target in the postseason.

233
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and especially if Anthony Davis is guarding him exactly.

234
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: All right.

235
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: So again, the MAVs have taken a two one seriously

236
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: with their win OVERKC, and now we get ready for

237
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: the Celtics and Cavaliers, two games every day in the

238
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: NBA in these playoffs.

239
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 4: All right.

240
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: Coming up on the other side, one of.

241
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: The most talked about non sports sports related events in

242
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: recent memory, and that was the roast of Tom Brady

243
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: and why this event did not play out as a

244
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: lot of people thought it would. We'll tell you all

245
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: about it. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

Speaker 2: are live from the tai Iraq dot com studios. And

262
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: apparently Montsey, a very unforgivable thing has just happened in

263
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball.

264
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 4: I know, I'm upset about it, and I was afraid

265
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 4: I was gonna jinx it, but I'm not jinxing anything

266
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: if this is correct.

267
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: Max Freed.

268
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: Max Freed of the Atlanta Braves had a no hitter

269
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: through seven innings on the road against the Mets. Brace

270
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 2: lead this game three to nothing, and they took Fred

271
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: out of the game. So he had one hundred and

272
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: nine pitches, which in this day and ages, a lot

273
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: of pitches.

274
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't care you leave them in there.

275
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 2: And they pulled Freed from the game, and then is

276
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: in right now, and relieve he just walked the first batter.

277
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: The no hitters intact see, I don't even count combined

278
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: no hitters.

279
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: I agree, I don't count them.

280
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 7: Then.

281
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: You know, years ago, it used to be if you

282
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: had a no hitter through nine innings and then lost

283
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: the no hitter in extra innings, they still gave you

284
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: credit for a no hitter with that because you went

285
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: nine inns.

286
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 8: I'm with that.

287
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: Then, I don't know. This was maybe fifteen twenty years ago.

288
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 2: They took all of those off the books. It has

289
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: to be at least nine innings, and it has to

290
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: be a complete a no hitter. At that time, there

291
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: had only been one combined no hitter that I had

292
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 2: ever seen before, and it was like eight and two

293
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: thirds and then somebody came in for the last out

294
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: in a one run game. Now you look at these,

295
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: there's been as many as six pitchers combined on a

296
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: no hitter.

297
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: That is not a no hitter. A no hitter is

298
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: one one pitcher that throws a complete game nine innings

299
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: are beyond, and that's a no hitter.

300
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: I agree.

301
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: It's so funny when you'd get six pitchers to do

302
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: a combine no hitter.

303
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: What about when the doctors seven any perfect?

304
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: Kay, don't give me sorry, now, one I thought you

305
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: were talking about the dots. There's recent combine no iteder

306
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 4: that they did. How about when they pulled kersh up

307
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: a perfect game?

308
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

309
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: No, why why?

310
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 4: But I've been against you know, all of this, the

311
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: keeping pitch count, the science behind it.

312
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: Stop. Just let them play now.

313
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: If Max Freed said, hey, I'm not feeling it like okay,

314
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: then maybe then maybe. But I feel like, if you

315
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 4: have thrown seven innings of no hits, you want.

316
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: To stay out there. I would want to stay out there.

317
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: The idea of these pitchers arms will fall off. I've

318
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: said this before. Nolan Ryan, back in his heyday, who

319
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: threw harder than anyone in the history of baseball. He

320
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: had a game in which he threw over two hundred pitches,

321
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: two hundred pitches in a single game, and you know what,

322
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: twenty years later he was still pitching in the major

323
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: leagues and still throwing ninety five plus.

324
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's like Sandy Kofax, you know also, Yeah, would

325
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: throw until basically his arm was falling off.

326
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: And this is the question.

327
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: It's like, would you want to have a successful maybe

328
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 4: eight to ten year career or do you want to

329
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: preserve your arm? And then you pitch for fifteen years,

330
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 4: I would want eight years of just dominance.

331
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: This really annoys me, all right, So anyway, and then

332
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: it's gets the first out in the eighth inning against Mets.

333
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: I guess we're five outs away from a combined no hit.

334
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: You know, a man is only going to pitch the

335
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: eighth if he gets through it with no hits, and

336
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: then they'll bring in a ninth dinner.

337
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: All right, So that's going on right now between the

338
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: Braves and Mets.

339
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: All right, I want to bring up this roast with

340
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: Tom Brady that's getting all this notoriety behind the scenes,

341
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: Belichick and Bob krap not getting along and everything else.

342
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: But I want to zero in on Tom Brady for

343
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: a second year. In fact, I want to talk about

344
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: roast in general. Now I'm on one of these old

345
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: timers that remembers like the Dean Martin roast. They now

346
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: run commercials. You can get these sets, and these were

347
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: season comedians and they used to do this on a

348
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: regular basis and they just rotate you know who they're roasting.

349
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: It was basically the same twenty or so comedians back

350
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: in the day. But nowadays they want to do these roasts.

351
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: Once you know Jeff Ross is there, it's sort of

352
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: got that stamp of okay.

353
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: This is a legitimate roast.

354
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: So I'm watching Tom Brady through this thing, and I'm

355
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: thinking to myself because there were times when he looked

356
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: uncomfortable a little bit, and here's the thing.

357
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: About a roast, and this is okay, so we want

358
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: to roast you.

359
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: First of all, if you are highly successful or famous

360
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: at whatever it is you do, a part of getting

361
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: to that level is ego. Nobody is that successful and

362
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: whatever they do unless you've got a raging ego, because

363
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: otherwise you don't have the desire to get to that

364
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: level unless you need to feed the ego. On the

365
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: other side of it is why do you have such

366
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: a big ego because you have such incredible insecurities. Overwhelming

367
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: insecurities often lead to overwhelming egos. So your insecurities drive

368
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: your ego to constantly feed that ego because you still

369
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: have insecurities. Tom Brady is a prime example of this.

370
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: Never got over the fact that he was a six

371
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: round draft pick. It was that insecurity that continue to

372
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: drive him to achieve what he did in his amazing

373
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: football career. So when you go to these roasts and

374
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 2: we see it time and again. You're like, well, he's

375
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: so big, he'll be fine. And you sit there and

376
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: they start taking shots at you and your loved ones

377
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: and your friends, and all of a sudden you think, well,

378
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: he doesn't have to worry.

379
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: He's the goat, he's Tom Brady.

380
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: But those insecurey you know how it is when somebody

381
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: is critical of you. Sometimes you can just dismiss it

382
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: because it just miss missfires. But it's every once in

383
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: a while somebody says something critical of you.

384
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: And it hits.

385
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: It hits a nerve.

386
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: It hits a nerve where that insecurity or something about

387
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: something in you it triggered, is triggered. I mean they

388
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: were merciless against Gazelle. I mean it was funny what

389
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: but he you know, he was He was like a

390
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: mannequin sitting there. Yes, with all the shots they were

391
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: taking as Gazelle. But the one that got.

392
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: Him upset with the Bob Kraft one with Jeff Ross

393
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: brought up the massage situation, and I mean, what's Tom

394
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: Brady doing? I thought he was gonna slap it? What

395
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: is he will? Smith's he gonna don't ever mentions again,

396
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: I mean, what what was that about? I mean drops

397
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: an s bom on Jeff Ross. Ross was looking at

398
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: him like, dude, you know where you are?

399
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that was a bit of a weird moment.

400
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: Clearly that was something Maybe it seemed as though that

401
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 4: was something that was agreed upon before the roast, right,

402
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 4: and that it really wasn't supposed.

403
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: To go down. That's how I took that.

404
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, this was maybe discussed that we

405
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 4: weren't gonna touch this subject.

406
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: But with the roast, there's no rules, like well not.

407
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: With Jeff Ross.

408
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: Know that's the rules of the roast. There are no rules.

409
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: If you decide to have a roast, anything is on

410
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 4: the table, and you cannot assume that they're not gonna

411
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: dig deep and try and hurt you. Well, not pars

412
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: out the word, but trigger you, make you flinch, make

413
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: you feel because people want to be tough with roast.

414
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: So when you hear, oh I get to roast someone,

415
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 4: your goal is to make them squirm, you know, that

416
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: is the goal, not to make you laugh, well, maybe

417
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: laughing the scorm at the same time, but there is

418
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: an ultimate goal here.

419
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: But everything is on the table.

420
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: Everything well obviously, I mean, they went on and on

421
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 2: about his obvious plastic surgery died, which was so apparent.

422
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw it, Hynesty, this this

423
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 3: whole Uh, I.

424
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: Have not seen it, No, but you know, they're doing

425
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: shots of Tom Brady from you know, during his time

426
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: with the Patriots, like in two thoughts, He's not even recognized,

427
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: and then they would cut to a live interview with

428
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: his you know, big boofy hair when he was obviously

429
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 2: he was losing his hair when he was younger, and

430
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: his whole facial structure, it doesn't even look like the

431
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 2: same person, Yeah, I know.

432
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: And then there were moments in the Rose where I thought,

433
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 4: I was like, it doesn't even look like his face

434
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: is moving, like.

435
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean's and they were taking shots

436
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: at him about his plastic surgery and everything else, and

437
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 2: there was so the whole thing between Craft and Belichick,

438
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: and this I thought was pretty interesting, you know, when

439
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: you know.

440
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: A couple of people that were there were talking. Edelman

441
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: and I guess Bledsoe were on and they were talking

442
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: on a podcast about.

443
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: Well, I know what you saw on during the roast.

444
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 2: And by the way, some of the editing on this roast?

445
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 2: Why are you editing the rose? You edited out the

446
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 2: booing right of Kim Kardashian. Why would you do that

447
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: unless she her foot down and said take that out?

448
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: So what were you doing there in the first place?

449
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: And when you're there and you're getting booed, that's fun.

450
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 4: Again, It was just weird things about the editing, that

451
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 4: reaction to the Bob Kraft comment, like all of that.

452
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 4: It was just like a ro should not be scripted,

453
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 4: and it almost was scripted, right, And that's that's where

454
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 4: you were like, Oh, so this it's not as good

455
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 4: as I thought initially.

456
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: Oh I would love to have seen the behind the

457
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: scenes between Belichick and Kraft. Did you see Apparently the

458
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 2: story goes is that Belichick was already there reuniting with

459
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: some of his former players, sort of holding cord, telling

460
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: some stories, and then Kraft walks into the room, and

461
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, while Belichick is talking, guys are

462
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: walking away to greet Bob Kraft. Wow, Wow, which just

463
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: seems wow, what is that about? Much when we're talking

464
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: about former players, wouldn't talk about any current guys that

465
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: need to you know, kiss his ass?

466
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, and you know that there is a

467
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 4: little bit of drama because it isn't the story that

468
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: Robert Kraft told Arthur Smith to.

469
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: Not well, that was the report right, right man. He said,

470
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: beware of Bill.

471
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: Be Bill Belt exactly. So you know there is like

472
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 4: a beef bruin there. There's beef everywhere. Shannon Sharp, Shack,

473
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 4: Drake Kendrick.

474
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: Well, my attitude, bomb Craft didn't have to have any

475
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: excuses for firing Belichick.

476
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: He was awful.

477
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, at the end, but he had lost

478
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: that locker room.

479
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: He lost it.

480
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't disagree with you, but I am thirteen.

481
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: Is a disaster. Way he handled the quarterback. You destroyed

482
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: a young quarterback that showed promises rookie season. Yeah.

483
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: I think the problem was more at the end, still

484
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 4: letting him have so much power, right, That was always

485
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 4: with Bill.

486
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: Well, and Bill was not going to relinquish it was

487
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: he wasn't gonna give it.

488
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: As we had said many times.

489
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: I'd ask, you know, former Patriot, our buddy Rich Ornberger,

490
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: I said, if Kraft came to and said, look, Bill,

491
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: I still obviously have a lot of respect for you

492
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: as a coach, but your personnel moves are killing us.

493
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: We need to bring in somebody else. Do you think

494
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: that Belichick would agree with that?

495
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 3: He said, no way. When you've had total control for

496
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 3: over twenty years, you're not going to relinkish that control.

497
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 3: So I'm sure that was part of the discussion.

498
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: And if Belichick had said to him, I don't feel

499
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: comfortable with that, then Bob Kraft says, well, Bill, I

500
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: have no choice.

501
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: Then I'm going to let you go. Yeah, it's over.

502
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: It was over, and I'm sure Belichick thought, fine, I'm

503
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: ready to move on to somewhere else. But the idea

504
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: that do we understand?

505
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 3: Are we one hundred percent sure about that whole thing

506
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: that he bad mouthed Belichick Arthur Blank when he was,

507
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: you know, considering hiring him as the coach of the falcon.

508
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: I not what do you mean by sure? I'm not

509
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: sure sure, but that's the report.

510
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: I can tell you this from personal experience. I have

511
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 2: had situations where former and lawyers didn't always have the

512
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: best things to say about me. But fortunately the people

513
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: that hired me kept tiring me. Said okay, but I'm

514
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: going to take him anyway.

515
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, And maybe that's it would not surprise me if

516
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 4: it's true. I guess is the point right, because Bill

517
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 4: Belichick is still considered because of his history. I'm sure

518
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: everybody is willing to take a chance on him regardless.

519
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 3: I would say so, yeah, right.

520
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 4: Even though nobody took a chance on him yet this season.

521
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: So it wouldn't surprise me if it is that Robert

522
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 4: Craft wanted to kind of stop that because he's like,

523
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 4: I don't want you to take your geniusness to another team.

524
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: Even though it fell flat with us the last couple

525
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: of years.

526
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: I didn't think the Atlanta job was all that great

527
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: for Belichick. I know it's sort of a weak division.

528
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: Well it's the weakest weekend.

529
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's the selling point. You actually have

530
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: a chance to win the division.

531
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: But the fact that that was the only team that

532
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 2: really seriously considered Belichick.

533
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know it is weird.

534
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: It is weird because again, I would take a chance

535
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 4: on Bill Belichick. Right.

536
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's trending right now. A

537
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: guy that's been well, he hangs out.

538
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 3: Here all the time. Artin Weis is in the house. Smart.

539
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 3: What's going on? Man?

540
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 9: You know, Steve, I don't just come here for fun.

541
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 9: I do get paid to come here and do this,

542
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 9: do you really? Yeah, I don't just volunteer my time

543
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 9: at the local national radio station.

544
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: You know. Really there's a compensation involved in this.

545
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 9: Well I'm not saying I'm retiring anytime soon, but yeah,

546
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 9: I do get paid, right, You guys get paid?

547
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Is that from where of the Millers? You know what

548
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: talk you about yet?

549
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

550
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 9: Is that that movie with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Tudakas

551
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 9: and they go on to the road trip.

552
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they pretend to be a family with these two kids.

553
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: One it's like a runaway and the other.

554
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then the kid finds out they're all making money,

555
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 4: and he's like, you guys are got any money?

556
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 9: Well, the NBA, those players got paid today as well,

557
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 9: game checks, much more than I make doing this right here.

558
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 9: But the Mavericks took a two to one lead in

559
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,120

00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 9: moment ago, he's still out. Jared Allen a game time

578
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,240

586
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 9: in twenty twenty three, so we're started all over trying

587
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 9: to make a team and trying to make that Jacksonville

588
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 9: Jaguars final roster. The Patriots have officially announced Elliott Wolfe

589
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 9: as executive vice president of Player of Personnel. He'll have

590

592
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: you very much.

593
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 2: Check in with you a little bit later on Once again,

594
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: this is Fox Sports Saturday. Steve Hartman, Moncey Belanos. We

595
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: are live from the tirerack dot Com studios. All right,

596
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: we'll get off that again. The thing about these roast is,

597
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: I mean, did you I mean, I know you watched it.

598
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 2: Were you laughing a lot?

599
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: I didn't watch the live stream of it, so I

600
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 4: watched it after the fact.

601
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: Did you think Kevin Hart was funny? I think he

602
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: dropped a lot of F bombs.

603
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I like Kevin Hart. He wasn't like

604
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 4: the funniest to me. But I do like him, so

605
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 4: you know when you already are into someone's bit because

606
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 4: it's his bit, it's his style. I didn't mind it,

607
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: but I thought some were really funny. I just again,

608
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: the goal is to make you squirm, so there were

609
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 4: some that I squormed. I was like, that's funny. But

610
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 4: roasts are not for everybody.

611
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: No, And the thing that just got me it just

612
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 2: seemed like Gizelle was being roasted way more than Tom.

613
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that it was a lot.

614
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 4: It was, but again, anything's on the table, and it's

615
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 4: still such a big story.

616
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: You still hear a lot of Gizelle.

617
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: Tom Brady, it's just Gizel Gizell.

618
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: You think she inspired him to get all this plastic

619
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: surgery done.

620
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 4: I mean, oh man, I would assume that she definitely

621
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: aware of it.

622
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know if she encouraged it or not.

623
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about Wemba Yama for a second year.

624
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: So Wemmy was the unanimous Joys for NBA Rookie of

625
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: the Year. And honestly, although Rudy Gobert won his fourth

626
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,959
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year award, you could make an

627
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: argument that Wemby should have been defensive Player of the

628
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: Year as well.

629
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: Yep.

630
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: I mean when you look at his numbers per minutes memory,

631
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: he averaged less than thirty minutes a game. His numbers

632
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: were staggering.

633
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: Led the league. Obviously in block shots. No rookie had

634
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: done that since my new Bowl.

635
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: But here's the thing that sort of gets to me,

636
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: because he's all excited about the future, and I'm like,

637
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: all right, let's remember this little stat.

638
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: You want to hear a stat you.

639
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: And your stats throat at.

640
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: Last year, the San Antonio Spurs were twenty two and sixty,

641
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: which put him in line too, and we just knew

642
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: they were going to be the ones right to get Wemby.

643
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: This year with Wimby, they were twenty two and sixty.

644
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: They have the exact same record. In fact, the only

645
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: reason they got to that they won seven of the

646
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: last eleven games to get to the exact same number

647
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: of wins they had the year before. So you had

648
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: a complete name team two years ago. You go twenty

649
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: two and sixty, conveniently, get the number one pick and

650
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: a generational talent like Wemby, and you add him and

651
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: he plays up to maybe exceeds expectations as a rookie,

652
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 2: certainly did in my eye, and you still won twenty

653
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: two games.

654
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 3: So I mean Wemby says he's excited about the future.

655
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be all that excited until I start adding

656
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 2: teammates that can actually change things. And the reason I

657
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: bring this up is is that in the case of

658
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: the two other big men Spurs that won Rookie of

659
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: the Year, David Robinson and Tim Duncan, there was a

660
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: dramatic turnaround in the fortunes of the Spurs in their

661
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: rookie season. And the fact is, no matter how good

662
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 2: Wemby was, they didn't win a single additional game from

663
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: how how many they won the year before.

664
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: So you're not wrong that he definitely needs some other

665
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: weapons around him, There's no question about that. I'm wondering

666
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 4: if maybe they try and get like Trey Young or

667
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: somebody like that to go pare him, you know, with Wemby.

668
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 4: But I think the difference here is that now there

669
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: is a clear path as to what the Spurs want

670
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 4: to do.

671
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: So that's why I don't mind that he said that.

672
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: I get what he's saying.

673
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 4: It was the exact same record nothing changed you. You didn't.

674
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: You didn't move the needle that much for the first show.

675
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: Why was it that his game?

676
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 2: Because again, when David Robinson went to the Spurs, they

677
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: went from like twenty nine to sixty wins. Tim Duncan,

678
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: there was a big leap in wins when he was

679
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: a rookie with the Spurs. Why Why didn't Wemby's numbers

680
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: translate into w's for the Spurs.

681
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 4: No, it's got to be just this switch from European

682
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 4: basketball to this and figuring out how to make him

683
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: thrive in the NBA. I'm sure it was just a

684
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: lot of figuring things out as they went along, maybe

685
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: testing a lot of experiments. With David Robinson, it was like,

686
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: go be you just do you. Maybe with Victor win Boniam,

687
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: I was like, let's figure out how to make sure

688
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 4: that your style of play is successful translating to the NBA.

689
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: And maybe it's just taking taking more than the one year.

690
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: I just seemed a little weird to me.

691
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: Sorry, let's cut you off.

692
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 4: I also just think like during David Robinson's time, the

693
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 4: skill level was different than the skill everyone's good.

694
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: Now, Like I feel like everybody.

695
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 4: Day they were, but like every now it's like megastars superstars.

696
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't love star.

697
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: You know, it's not megastars the rest of that Spurs roster.

698
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: I know.

699
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: There's too many teams in the NBA had thirty teams,

700
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: way too many teams. You got water down talent across

701
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: the board, and so you have a lot of really

702
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 2: bad teams. Yeah, when you could talk about the superstar level,

703
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: I agree with you there.

704
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, look at I am.

705
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: Some of the guys said, like Kyrie Irving, who has

706
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: to sit in the shadow of Luka Doncic. You when

707
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: you watch Kyrie Irving's skill set, he's one of the

708
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: players in this league that blows me away. Like he

709
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: he can do things his ball handling skills, getting to

710
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: the hoop, you know, knocking down shots and everything else.

711
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

712
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: There's something about Kyrie Irving's game that I just electrifies me,

713
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: you know. And it's weird because he's on a team

714
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: where a guy like Donca just monopolizes the basketball. But no,

715
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: I on the upper ashelant, there probably more players with

716
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: outstanding skill sets at the top. But because you have

717
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: a water down league with thirty teams, these rosters are

718
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: low to a players that are just forgettable.

719
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: There's a lot of them.

720
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: I hate to tell you this, Steve. I don't think

721
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: we're getting rid of any teams.

722
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: No, if anything, they're going to expand it. Yea even

723
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: further water down the product out there all right. On

724
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: the other side, a lot of talk about coaching vacancies

725
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: in the NBA and one coach current coach's decision about

726
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: his future can change the whole dynamic of the NBA.

727
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,240

Speaker 3: Paul Skeens.

734
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens, who was the first pick in the draft

735
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: this year, right.

736
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: Well, the last year, because this June the most recent draft.

737
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: Yes, and made his major league debut today for the

738
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: Paris Yes, and it went pretty well. Yeah, he did

739
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 2: give up three runs, but he struck out seven and

740
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: four innings. And yeah, he's he's a big guy now.

741
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: He's dating what's her name, Olivia, don't he done?

742
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the gymnasts from LSU.

743
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: Who apparently made more NIL money than any other collegiate athlete.

744
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

745
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 4: You know, it's actually quite interesting because I was watching

746
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 4: the game and.

747
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 8: The the gal was interviewing Livy Dunn in the seats about,

748
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 8: you know, this moment because they lived together or they

749
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 8: were traveling together, they got the call and then all

750
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 8: of a sudden they packed up and they were on

751
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 8: their way that he was making his debut, right, and

752
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 8: so they were talking to her and the gal was like, so,

753
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 8: in all of everything that you've experienced with him, what

754
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 8: is the biggest moment you're gonna remember from his career?

755
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 4: And Mike the question was like, huh, she's an athlete,

756
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: she's her own gymnast, and you're asking the girlfriend what

757
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 4: the biggest moment for him is.

758
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: It was such a weird question because they're not married.

759
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: I thought Livy Dunn was kind of like, yeah, like,

760
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 4: you know, he won an LSU I've been there, this

761
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 4: is is.

762
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: Definitely up there.

763
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: But it was to me it was like such a

764
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 4: weird question to ask a fellow athlete who is also

765
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 4: one of the greatest gymnasts and a huge name.

766
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: For herself, probably more famous than him.

767
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 3: She's not very tall because she is a gymnast.

768
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 4: She is a.

769
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: Gymnast and he's six six. Yes, yes, does that seem

770
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: where to you when you see the dynamic because you're

771
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: not tall, I'm not when you see let's say, someone

772
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: a woman that's five feet tall with a guy that's

773
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 2: sixty six or seven feet, I.

774
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: Mean, listen, sixty six. That's a lot. Because I'm five feet.

775
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 4: Sean is five to eleven, and I when I see

776
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 4: pictures of us, I'm like, I'm not short.

777
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: That's what I look like next to you.

778
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 4: Yes, Oh my goodness, whoa that's in my head. I

779
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 4: don't look like that, but I guess that's how people

780
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 4: see us.

781
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a six to six.

782
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 4: That guy would have to like come all the way

783
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 4: down to give me a kiss. That guy's back would hurt.

784
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: Well, you just have to walk around on his knees

785
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: all day. Yeah, that's basically what it is. We still

786
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: have that no hitter going. We are two outs away

787
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 2: from a no hitter.

788
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: Comebine, no hitter, Come comebine.

789
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 3: No hitter.

790
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: Max Freed went seven no hit innings. Men Is then

791
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 2: came in and got through the eighth.

792
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: Inning, and now we are one out of way.

793
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: Iglesias is in for the Braves right now to close

794
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 2: out this no hitter. By the way, if you add

795
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: up the pitches of the three pitchers for the Braves,

796
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty two pitches. Now, I'm sure they

797
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 2: were thinking freeds already at one hundred and nine. How

798
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 2: many more pitches would he have to throw to get

799
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: through two more full innings? Well, based on the two

800
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: relief guys, it's a lot, a lot lot, Yeah, And

801
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 2: here could be the last out or is it going

802
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: to be a home run? And it is a home run?

803
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: Wo one out away from a no hitter, Iglesias gives

804
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: up a home run to JD Martinez.

805
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: Of course it's Jady Martinz prought.

806
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 3: Up us away.

807
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 2: He pounded that pitch and that goes not only no hitter,

808
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: but the shutout as well.

809
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 3: So the Mets do not get no hit.

810
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 2: Jadie Martinez delivers with a two out bottom of the

811
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 2: ninth inning home run to avoid the no hitter.

812
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't hate this uniform that the Mets are wearing.

813
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: By the way, this some gray and black, a little

814
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: bit of like purple.

815
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I like the NYC Yes, I

816
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 3: do too. I like that. I like that on the

817
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 3: front of the uniform too.

818
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: No, I like this uniform.

819
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: All right, I want to start this conversation because we're

820
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 2: going to do much more of this on the next hour.

821
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: I got a question for you, Clipper fan extraorded in there. So,

822
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 2: even though the Clippers got eliminated, which again was predictable

823
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 2: with think Kawhi Leonard watching from the sidelines again at

824
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: the end of a postseason, tyleru is, in my opinion,

825
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: one of the premier coaches in this league.

826
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: I've always been a fan of Tyler.

827
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: And all the buzz is is that they want to

828
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: extend his contract. He has one year remaining on his contract,

829
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: so he is under contract currently with the Clippers through

830
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: next season. But there's this buzz that they want to

831
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: extend his contract. Well, the Clipper season ended, how many years?

832
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 3: Like a week and to have ago right and the Lakers.

833
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: You know, the buzz is the Lakers would understandably be

834
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 3: interested in hiring a coach with Tyler's resume, but they can't.

835
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: They have of my coach.

836
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 2: Well, they can't touch him because he's under contract to

837
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: the Clippers. So what is the hold up right now

838
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: in that contract extension? Because again, you have an owner

839
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: who's one of the ten wealthiest people on the planet

840
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: that can outpay any other owner in.

841
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 3: This league in terms of how much money he gives

842
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 3: to a coach. What's what's the hold up?

843
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: I'm guessing the hold up has to do a little

844
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 4: bit with Paul George and what he decides to do

845
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 4: a little bit of that.

846
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: Well, you also have to decide on James Harden. James,

847
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 3: are you going to keep James Harden?

848
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 4: I think they want to run it all back exactly

849
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 4: the same way. I think that is the goal. I'm

850
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 4: not saying that's the right answer. I'm just telling you

851
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 4: what I think is going to happen. I think they're

852
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 4: trying to run it on.

853
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: You think tyger Lou wants everybody back. See, this is

854
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 2: what it comes down to for Tylu because he does

855
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: have options.

856
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 3: Now, again, they're not going to fire him.

857
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: So you know, again, ty I don't understand unless Tylu quits,

858
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 2: he's not available, right, He's under contract. So unless he

859
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 2: says I quit, right, he's going to be the Clippers

860
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 2: coach next season.

861
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 3: But like you said, is he all that?

862
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: Is he all that gung ho of a reunitingum of Kawhi,

863
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: Paul George and James Harden for another run.

864
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: He might not be gung ho, but I think that's

865
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen. And I think that's what they're waiting

866
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 4: on because I agree. I don't think it's money. Balmer

867
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 4: can give him whatever he wants. I don't think it's

868
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 4: about money. I think he's just kind of waiting to

869
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 4: see what Paul George decides to do.

870
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: Well, see that that has a big bearing on another

871
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: team in the league. We'll get to all that and

872
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:54,040

Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm not a mother aside from my pet. Yeah,

895
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 4: and that's as far as I heard your.

896
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: Pet intend to get doing something nice for me.

897
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,799

898
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 4: some sort of extra treat or something. But I my

899
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 4: mom is wonderful, and I really admire all moms. I

900
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 4: have a lot of friends who are moms, and I

901
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 4: see what they do and how much they sacrifice, and

902
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 4: I don't think moms get enough credit, which is one

903
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 4: of the reasons I don't want to be a mom,

904
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: because it's a lot of work, and I see everybody

905
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: go through it and yeah, no, it's not a lot

906
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 4: of work.

907
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: Well. Here, here's the thing about being divorced.

908
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: Okay, as I have been for a number of years now,

909
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: and obviously I have a great admiration for my ex

910
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 2: Denise because she's been an amazing mom. Yeah, I mean

911
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: you met my kids. You said, you said the parents

912
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: are crazy, the.

913
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: Parents are crazy, and the kids are just absolutely lovely.

914
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: Lovely and normal. And she loved that because she agrees.

915
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. When when you're married with children, guys,

916
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: know this, you're on the hook for five halidays. You're

00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: on the hook for Valentine's Day, which I don't get

00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: five holidays.

921
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 3: Now. The great thing about being divorced that's gone.

922
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 2: Christmas is gone, Anniversary gone, that one's gone gone.

923

Speaker 4: Yeah, me and my brothers have a group message and

941
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 4: will be like, hey, reminder it's mom's birthday.

942
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: Hey, reminder it's dad's birthday. Or if something's going on, reminder.

943
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: I mean that's my job.

944
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, good, good, Good for you.

945
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 3: And as I say, make your life easy. I try

946
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 3: to convey this to my boys constantly. Why complicate your life?

947
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

948
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 3: Do not irritate your mother? Just don't.

949
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So here's something that's sort of caught

950
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: my eye here. You may have heard this alleged bet. Well,

951
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: it wasn't alleged because they made it publish.

952
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a thing.

953
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 2: Former teammates at LSU, Jayden Daniels, some Lake neighbors had

954
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: made a bet ten thousand dollars to whoever's named the

955
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: offensive rookie of the Year because they didn't explain if

956
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,479
Speaker 2: neither one of them is offensive, Rookie of the Year, if.

957
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams wins that you paint him.

958
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: Ten not a bet. I didn't you know, So they

959
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: were they basically told, you can't do that. You can't

960
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: do that, You can't you can't make a public bet, right,

961
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 2: that's the word in public, that's the word.

962
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 3: Right.

963
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Here's the one thing I know my late great partner,

964
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 2: and if you've listened to me for a thousand years,

965
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 2: you remember the great Chet forty. Jet forty was the

966
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: longtime producer director Monday Night Football whose career unraveled because

967
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: of a gambling addition. It was well documented and he

968
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 2: was in gambling rehab over the last five years of

969
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: his life that I worked with him before he passed away.

970
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 2: Here's the one thing he told me, because I used

971
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: to ask how he goes how much and this is

972
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 2: back in the nineties, how much gambling is going on

973
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 2: in professional sports?

974
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 3: And he goes a lot more than you know.

975
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised because.

976
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: If you're a gambler. Because we were talking about Jordan.

977
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 2: This is when Jordan suddenly retired after it was uncovered,

978
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 2: the checks were found where he you know, money had passed.

979
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't like he retired because I just have this

980
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 2: itch to play minor league baseball, Okay, and then he

981
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: returned because the NBA needed Michael Jordan.

982
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

983
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 2: But here's the thing Chit told me, he said about

984
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: athletes gambling. If you have a gambling mentality, the idea

985
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: of betting on something where you actually have control of

986
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 2: the outcome of a game is very enticing. That thrilling,

987
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: really enticing, where I can control the game. Basketball has

988
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: been hit with more gambling scandals than any other sport

989
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: because a single player can have a much bigger effect

990
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 2: than a single player in baseball or football, much more so.

991
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 2: And this is why it's so prevalent and so but

992
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: here's the thing. For years, these major sports leagues shied

993
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 2: away from any involvement, any hint of any association with gambling.

994
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 3: Those days are over, they're over.

995
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: You are bringing in billions of dollars of revenue through

996
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 2: these gambling establishments, and you're been out of shape because

997
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: a couple of college teammates entering the NFL want to

998
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 2: make a little bet, saying, well, if you win or

999
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: I win. The other's got to pay ten thousand dollars

1000
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: for being offensive Rookie of the Year. If I were

1001
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 2: the NFL, honestly I would, I would find a way

1002
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 2: to sort of play.

1003
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: With this right. To me, there's gotta be away.

1004
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: To play with something like that, instead of just shutting

1005
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 2: it down because I'm sure this bet is still on,

1006
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 2: it's just that it's no longer a public right.

1007
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 4: In their comments after oh, we just were unaware of

1008
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 4: the gambling rules.

1009
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: We didn't know the details.

1010
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 4: And to a point, I actually think that's true because

1011
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 4: it's so great in the fell in the sports betting

1012
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 4: is great, like in the NFL. It's like, oh, you

1013
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 4: can bet, but you can't bet from the facilities, right like, okay,

1014
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 4: but if I crossed.

1015
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: The street, I can bet.

1016
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 4: Like it's it's a little bit great for me, and

1017
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 4: I think it should be more black and white than

1018
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 4: it is. But that's why I think they can't even

1019
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 4: slightly open that door.

1020
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: Because I agree what's wrong with this bet?

1021
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 4: Their buddies, they're trying to show each other up.

1022
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: What is wrong with this bet?

1023
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you, But the NFL cannot even

1024
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 4: pretend that that's Okay, they can't even kind of peek

1025
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 4: through that door.

1026
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: They can't. They can't allow that. It's already a bit

1027
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: of a problem.

1028
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 2: I just wonder how many people out there really care

1029
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 2: that these well, I'm just I'm just talking about gambling

1030
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: in general. You know, when we talk about Pete Rose,

1031
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 2: and we talk about back in the sixties when Paul

1032
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: Horning and Alex karras two Hall of Fame players were suspended.

1033
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 3: For an entire year.

1034
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: Sure, in every one of these cases, they bet on

1035
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 2: their own team. They never bet against their team. There's

1036
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: no evidence they ever threw a game or did anything else.

1037
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: They were members of the best teams in the league,

1038
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 2: and they wanted to cash in on it. By the way,

1039
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, a guy like Floyd Mayweather Junior, he was

1040
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 2: betting on himself constantly to win fights. Yeah, put put

1041
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 2: down those X amount of dollars millions that I'm gonna

1042
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: win this fight.

1043
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 5: M h.

1044
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 3: I love that incentive, me too, me.

1045
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 4: I No, I have no problem with you betting on

1046
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 4: your team. I really don't. It's when you try and

1047
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 4: manipulate the situation.

1048
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 2: But if you are found in any way throwing a game,

1049
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: hinting at anyone. You're gone, You're you'relimited, no questions asked,

1050
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 2: You are out the door.

1051
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 3: Goodbye. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

1052
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: But sometimes, in this day and age, where all these

1053
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 2: athletes are making so much money, where's the real incentive?

1054
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 2: We know there are athletes like the Tom Brady's of

1055
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: the world who willingly to took less money to ensure

1056
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: that his organization could get the best possible players to

1057
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 2: reach his ultimate goal, which was winning championships. But not

1058
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 2: everyone's wired like that. No, a lot of them are

1059
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: just you know, they make a lot of money, and

1060
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 2: some of that incentive goes out the window. And as

1061
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 2: a fan, I want to believe that my team. You've

1062
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: got big money guys on your team. With the Clippers,

1063
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 2: right nik in thirty forty to fifty making sixty million

1064
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: dollars a year, so much money, how wouldn't you want

1065
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 2: to know that there's something on the line that may

1066
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 2: be further incentivized. I mean they did this mid season

1067
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 2: tournament was actually it was an early season tournament where

1068
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 2: you know, the players got bonuses and everything else to

1069
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, make them want to win this in

1070
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 2: season tournament.

1071
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, There's definitely been a lot of incidences in sports

1072
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 4: right where we see that money does drive people. That

1073
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 4: does We just saw it in the NBA with the

1074
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 4: n Season tournament.

1075
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: But you can't. You can't open that door. You can't.

1076
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: But I agree with you. I feel like there's a

1077
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 1: way to make this work.

1078
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 4: I just don't know how, because imagine this bet that

1079
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 4: these two players did for offensive for k of the year.

1080
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 4: If it was like a public thing, and you can

1081
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 4: join in on the bet, like add to each of

1082
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 4: their you know, banks, and then you split the money

1083
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,919
Speaker 4: like everybody that participates. It's like, if you believe him,

1084
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 4: give money to him. If you believe in him, give

1085
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 4: money to him, and then at the end you get

1086
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 4: money or your money goes to a stranger.

1087
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 2: Gambling is such a big part of this situation. The

1088
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 2: NFL is going to have to figure this out. So

1089
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 2: they squashed this now, but at some point right now,

1090
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: I mean, eventually, these NFL stadiums will have mechanisms for

1091
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: you to gamble.

1092
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 3: At your very seat. I promise you that's gonna happen.

1093
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 4: I read that Davenbusters, you know that, like Kaid, that

1094
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 4: you can now bet against your friends at these games

1095
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 4: at Davidbusters.

1096
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: That's what I read.

1097
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 3: Now.

1098
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my, we're already doing that. We're

1099
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: already doing it.

1100
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 3: Who we are?

1101
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 2: So for years the NFL, I I just remember so

1102
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,839
Speaker 2: many conversations with co hosts of mine that insisted that said, well,

1103
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 2: you know, the NFL is not about gambling. Really, what

1104
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 2: do you think took this sport to the top of

1105
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 2: the charts. There's all that gambling all right?

1106
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 3: Coming up? Coming up.

1107
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 2: On the other side, it's decision time for one of

1108
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: the premire franchises in all of professional sports.

1109
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 3: Which team? Which decision? We'll explain. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

1119
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 2: have the Cavaliers who stunned the Celtics Game two of

1120
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: that series in Boston. That series heading back to Cleveland

1121
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 2: earlier today, Dallas did defeat ok See to take a

1122
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 2: two to one series lead.

1123
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 3: In that matchup.

1124
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 2: One team that's been long gone from the playoffs are

1125
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and you know when you're sort of justifying

1126
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 2: their early exit by saying, yeah, well you lost to

1127
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: the you know, the best team in the league, the Nuggets,

1128
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 2: and then the Nuggets get pounded in back to back

1129
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 2: games against Minnesota.

1130
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 3: Obviously they did rebound in Game three, but.

1131
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 2: That to me would be a sign that you're further

1132
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 2: away from a championship than you originally thought.

1133
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 3: Me thought if your.

1134
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 2: Gauge was well, we were leading the Denver Nuggets all

1135
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: five games at halftime, so we're not that far away.

1136
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 2: And then that same Nuggets team gets annihilated at home

1137
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 2: in back to back games by Minnesota. The fact is

1138
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 2: you're not getting any younger.

1139
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 4: You're not getting any younger, and that goes with the

1140
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 4: Clippers and a lot of teams.

1141
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: You got one hundred and forty seven games in the

1142
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 2: regular season out of a potential one sixty four of

1143
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 2: your two superstars.

1144
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 3: Are you going to get that again?

1145
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: That's the most games Obviously Anthony Davis has ever played

1146
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: in the season for the Lakers.

1147
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 3: What are the odds that he's going to do it again?

1148
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,439
Speaker 4: And with Lebron Remember like the story at the start

1149
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 4: of the season in like low minutes, that.

1150
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: Didn't happen at all.

1151
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 4: No, he played way more than I minutes per game. Yeah, yeah,

1152
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 4: and good for him, Good for Anthony Davis. But how

1153
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 4: is that going to keep going? How are you going

1154
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 4: to get better at knowing that all these other teams

1155
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 4: that are thriving are the young teams.

1156
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 2: So Darvin Ham was the sacrificial lamb and it wasn't

1157
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 2: a surprise. And I say this about Darvin Ham. Look,

1158
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham is one of those guys that I think

1159
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 2: is essential to have on your assistant coaching staff because

1160
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: he is a locker room guy. He's a guy that

1161
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 2: when things can get a little rouffled, brings a certain

1162
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: level of credibility. He has the right demeanor to settle

1163
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: things down. That's the role he played all those years

1164
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee. What he's not is really an effective head coach. Yeah,

1165
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 2: he made too many mistakes, lineup mistakes in game decisions,

1166
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 2: constantly standing there with his hands in his pockets.

1167
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 3: It just he's not a head coach.

1168
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: No, and that's not a bad thing.

1169
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 4: You have to realize that, you know, once you go

1170
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 4: through the experience, that just because you're a good assistant

1171
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 4: coach does not mean you can jump to being a

1172
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 4: head coach.

1173
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 3: Right.

1174
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's with everybody across all sports, not just in basketball.

1175
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 4: But there were times where when Anthony Davis said, we

1176
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 4: just don't know what we're doing out there. Sometimes I

1177
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 4: believed that because you saw sometimes in a timeout where

1178
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 4: it was like, are you running a play? It doesn't

1179
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 4: seem like you're drawing up a play. It seemed like

1180
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 4: he did not know what to do in the moment

1181
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 4: to make adjustments.

1182
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 2: Well, whoever is highed as the lakers next coach is

1183
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 2: going to be Lebron's fourth coach.

1184
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, since he joined the Lake. Yeah, he had Luke Walton.

1185
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was Jettison, he had Frank Vogel, he was fired,

1186
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham he was fired.

1187
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 3: You see a pattern going here?

1188
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, it's definitely a patter.

1189
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: In fact, since Phil Jackson resigned after the twenty eleven season,

1190
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 2: the Lakers have had six head coaches in twelve years.

1191
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: None of them lasted more than three years. Yeah, so

1192
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 2: now you have to decide again, who's the right fit

1193
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 2: for this Lakers team. Lebron's not going anywhere as long

1194
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 2: as you pick the guy he wants. AD's under contract, obviously,

1195
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 2: Reeves's under contract, Hot Chamurs under contract. It's a player

1196
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 2: option coming up a d LO. So you have to say,

1197
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 2: all right, do we want a tylu type coach, You

1198
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 2: wish a guy that you know is a veteran coach,

1199
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 2: has a proven track card. You want that kind of guy,

1200
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: or do you want just some lap dog for Lebron

1201
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 2: to allow Lebron to essential run the team.

1202
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 3: That's what they have to decide.

1203
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 4: There is no good answer for the Lakers because those

1204
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 4: are the two options. You want somebody that's tied down

1205
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 4: right now, or are you going to bring in his

1206
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 4: friend JJ Reddick might be a good coach, maybe, but

1207
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 4: he has no assistant coaching experience right that I know of, nothing, nothing,

1208
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 4: nothing except played fifteen years in the NBA.

1209
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: Played fifteen years.

1210
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: By the way, this is not this is not new

1211
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: in the NBA.

1212
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: No, it's not, no, no, no, I mean.

1213
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd went from playing to being a head coach.

1214
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 2: I think he's one of the more effective head coaches.

1215
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 2: He has shown that he's Larry Bird when he became

1216
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 2: the head coach, was a Coach of the Year. So

1217
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: it's it's not unprecedented that you have a player. But

1218
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 2: look at the Steve Nash situation in Brooklyn. How did

1219
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 2: that work.

1220
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: Went as quickly as it came Exactly?

1221
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 3: It didn't work, it did it?

1222
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 2: So, I mean, the fact that Reddick can break down

1223
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 2: a game is an analyst well Soka Mark Jackson was

1224
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 2: a head coach. Yeah, you know, it's it's a crap shoot.

1225
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 2: But what's the message sent to the rest of the team,

1226
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 2: if you pick the podcast partner of Lebron James.

1227
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: Just that this was the plan all along. There's no

1228
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: way to not see.

1229
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 4: It that way, right, that this was the plan all along. Hey,

1230
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 4: we're gonna do this podcast together. So all of a sudden,

1231
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 4: your name and my name are together constantly, people talking

1232
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 4: about it, you and I, and then all of a

1233
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 4: sudden it's like, oh, maybe JJ Reddick could be the coach.

1234
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 2: Well, and then they're talking about, you know, bringing in

1235
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 2: veteran coaches around him, right, that's then why are you

1236
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 2: hiring Reddick. If you're bringing in people around him that

1237
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,920
Speaker 2: have been head coaches in the league, veteran coaches, what

1238
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 2: purpose does he serve?

1239
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 4: If this was not the Lakers organization that is so

1240
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 4: used to winning, and the expectation of winning isn't there,

1241
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 4: then people would be more like, Yeah, give JJ Reddick

1242
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 4: the opportunity. Do you want to go be the Charlotte

1243
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 4: Hornets head coach? People would be more open to that.

1244
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: But it's because it's.

1245
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 4: The Lakers organization and the last couple of years, I

1246
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 4: think Laker fans have been upset and annoyed with the

1247
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 4: way things have been handled. And I don't blame them.

1248
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 4: Four coaches in five years, four years. That's not what

1249
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 4: the Lakers are known for. That's not what they have

1250
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 4: been building, you know, since a doctor Buss was around.

1251
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 4: That's not what it was. That's not what it's supposed

1252
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 4: to be. And it's unfortunate that that's where they are.

1253
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 4: But it does seem that JJ Reddick is being pushed

1254
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 4: into the direction of being the Lakers head coach.

1255
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: It's just amazing when you think about dominance of a team.

1256
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 2: When the Lakers beat the Celtics, who win the twenty

1257
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 2: ten championship, Kobe's last championship. They had been in the

1258
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 2: league sixty two years, going back to their Minneapolis days.

1259
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: They had been to the NBA Finals thirty one times,

1260
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: exactly half of those years, not the playoffs NBA Finals.

1261
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a lot, thirty one out.

1262
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 2: Of sixty two years, with sixteen championships at that point.

1263
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: Since then, of course, they've been to one NBA Final,

1264
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 2: one championship in the bubble in twenty twenty.

1265
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: That's right.

1266
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 2: So if you, I mean, I don't know what the

1267
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 2: mindset is of Laker fans these days. I know as

1268
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 2: a as a someone that has followed the Lakers religiously.

1269
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 3: Since I was a child, I know what my expectations are.

1270
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 3: They have not changed.

1271
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I can still live by the words

1272
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 2: of Kobe Bryant and conversations we had. How do you

1273
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 2: judge a season? He goes, they're two grades A and F.

1274
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 2: Either you win a championship or you don't.

1275
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 3: I go, does it matter if you get to the

1276
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 3: NBA finals F if we don't win a championship F.

1277
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 4: And I think with Laker fans, I feel like there's

1278
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 4: the Laker fans that have been around for years, and

1279
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 4: then they're the lebron fans who are now Laker fans, right,

1280
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 4: and they don't see eye to eye.

1281
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they got excited about getting in the Western

1282
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 2: Conference finals and I'm like, really, and getting swept by Denver?

1283
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 2: You're excited about that? Get out of here, turn in

1284
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 2: your car. You're no Laker fan. All right, let's find

1285
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: out what's trenning. Mark Medina is going to be joining

1286
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 2: us our NBA inside round the side, But first Martin

1287
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 2: is back. I don't know, Martin. When you look at

1288
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 2: your beloved Michigan Wolverines, uh huh National champions Right, the

1289
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 2: bar has been set well.

1290
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 9: I think a big part of the setting the bar

1291
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 9: is now living in an RV off in Coasta, Mesa

1292
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 9: right now.

1293
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 3: So what do the expectations for next year? Why would

1294
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 3: you want anything less? I mean, don't get me wrong,

1295
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 3: I want Michigan win national championship every year. That'd be amazing.

1296
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 9: But when you have such lack of coninuity at the top,

1297
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 9: it is kind of concerning.

1298
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a little concerning.

1299
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 9: But I'll say this, if they finish, if they finish

1300
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 9: with double digit wins and beat Ohio State, then I'll

1301
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 9: be good.

1302
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 3: So Ohio State is yeah.

1303
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 2: I understand that the rivalry game is the big one

1304
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 2: as you're winning that well, especially because let's say this

1305
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 2: is hypothetically speaking, Michigan finishes like, I don't know, six

1306
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 2: and seven on the year, but beats Ohio State.

1307
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 3: Do you understand the.

1308
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 9: The eruptions that will happen in Columbus in Columbus that year,

1309
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 9: that will be amazing.

1310
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 2: I know, as a UCLA fan, we weren't great, you know,

1311
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 2: but the last five years that Terry Donnie was a coach,

1312
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: they beat sc every year.

1313
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 3: So there you go, there you go.

1314
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, sometimes those rivaliy games, though, they

1315
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 9: matter way too much. Uh. Speaking of the NHL Game

1316
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 9: four Rangers at the Hurricanes just got started New York

1317
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 9: with a three nothing, leading the series but trailing so far.

1318
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 3: Eight thirty left in the first period, Carolina two.

1319
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 9: Rangers won Hurricanes with seven shots on goal to the

1320
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 9: Rangers six. This one wraps up Game three tonight between

1321
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 9: the Stars and the Avalanche. That series tied one game apiece.

1322
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 9: That's ten pm Eastern for the puck drop. Earlier today,

1323
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 9: the Mavericks beat the thunder to take a two to

1324
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 9: one lead in the Western Conference Semis one oh five

1325
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 9: to one on one.

1326
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 3: PJ.

1327
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 9: Washington led the Mavericks with twenty seven points. Luca and

1328
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 9: Kyrie both had twenty two. Say Gilders Alexander thirty one,

1329
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 9: ten and six in the loss. Red rusher Budd Dupree

1330
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 9: officially signing with again the aforementioned Jim Harbaugh and Los

1331
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 9: Angeles Chargers. The Patriots efficiently announced, Elliott Wolf.

1332
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 3: You like that, you like Budd Dupree. Listen, It's something, something, It's.

1333
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Something, it's something. I gotta get excited.

1334
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 9: Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack something with Bud Dupree.

1335
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 3: There you go.

1336
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 9: The patriotsvisional announced Elliot Wolf, executive vice president of Player Personnel,

1337
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 9: Commander's rookie defensive tackle jers On. Johnny Newton had surgery

1338
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 9: to a pair a partial Jones fracture in his foot

1339
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 9: earlier this year. Well, he's not gonna need surgery to

1340
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 9: repair the same injury in his other foot. And Bear's

01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 9: first round picking Room and Dunze miss practice earlier today

01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,439
Speaker 9: with the strained ham saying ham string, the team said

1343
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 9: his absence is precautionary.

1344
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 3: Steve Moncy.

1345
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, thank you, Martin.

1346
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 3: We appreciate it.

1347
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 2: As always, once again, we are live from the tire

1348
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 2: rack dot Com Studios. Join us right now as he

1349
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 2: so graciously does every single Saturday here on our show,

1350
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 2: our NBA Insider here at Fox Sports, Rader Mark Medinaz

1351
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 2: is joining us again and Mark when we talk, we

1352
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 2: were talking Moncie and I about this coaching situation.

1353
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm I want to start with Tylu right now.

1354
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 2: Because ever since the Clippers season ended, now he's under

1355
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 2: contract next year with the Clippers, they've been talking contract extension,

1356
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 2: and since that conversation over the last ten days Crickets,

1357
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 2: we're not hearing anything about him rushing to sign an

1358
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: extension just yet as the Clippers head coach. Why is

1359
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: that what's going on with the Clippers and tying down

1360
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 2: ty Lou long term as their coach.

1361
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's more cheese and eyes than any

1362
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 7: sign that these talks could break down. I think that

1363
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 7: knowing Steve Omer's wallet, which is pretty thick, that they

1364
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 7: will find a number to keep him. I think the

1365
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 7: other thing that we hate to have to keep in

1366
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 7: mind that the timing of it doesn't necessarily mean that

1367
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 7: all of a sudden Tyler could become available. He still

1368
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 7: has one year left on his contract, so thankfully for

1369
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 7: the Clippers and for Montse's stress level, there's no scenario

1370
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 7: that all of a sudden the Lakers could swoop in.

1371
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 7: It would have to be about you know, trading him

1372
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 7: or you know, breaking up the contract, which I don't

1373
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 7: think would happen.

1374
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, can you just tell the Lakers to get their

1375
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 4: fingers off of Tylure. The best thing I read, I

1376
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 4: think it was today the headline Lakers really intrigued by

1377
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick? How much truth is behind JJ Reddick possibly

1378
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 4: becoming the head coach of the Lakers.

1379
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of trist to it. I

1380
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 7: think that you know, they view him as someone that

1381
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 7: has a really bread maastful mind. He can relate to

1382
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 7: not only obviously the current NBA players because they're the contemporaries,

1383
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 7: but his podcast friends threatened Lebron James. But for what

1384
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 7: it's worth that, you know, you always have to step

1385
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 7: through information. But the peomint that I got is that

1386
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 7: that they were trying to lean towards someone who had experience,

1387
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 7: because usually what happens when you fire a coach, is

1388
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 7: you instinctively look for the qualities that that head coach

1389
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 7: didn't happen have sort coming I thought he had was

1390
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 7: his lack of experience, not able to make adjustments. And

1391
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 7: so while I do think that JJ Reddick has a

1392
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 7: throng basketball acumen, I think it's just inevitable that there's

1393
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 7: concerns that he's never been in the head coaching team before.

1394
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 7: That's have to say that they won't hire him. But

1395
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of boxes they have to

1396
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 7: check moving forward about you know, would JJ Reddicks be

1397
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 7: actually able to hold Lebron accountable? Would he have veteran

1398
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 7: coaches around him to you know, help him through his

1399
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,240
Speaker 7: learning curves. I think with that the Lakers are keeping

1400
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 7: open mind, and I think it is also trouble in that,

1401
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 7: as far as I know, there haven't been any deep conversations.

1402
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 7: Like before Frank Bogel's firing from Phoenix, the feeling was

1403
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 7: that Mike Budenholzer could be a preferred candidate, and all

1404
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 7: of a sudden, the Sun swoop in and hire him

1405
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 7: right away. So yeah, I would think that the NBA

1406
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 7: drives combine this weekend, bringing some more talks, but so

1407
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 7: far it's mostly quiet.

1408
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1409
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: My guess on Budenholtzer is Lebron said no, And I mean,

1410
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 2: what's the story on Budenholzer. Obviously he was with Atlanta,

1411
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 2: had some modest success. He obviously had a lot more success,

1412
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 2: winning an NBA championship of the Bucks, and then all

1413
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 2: of a sudden he was out.

1414
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 3: He's not been coaching since.

1415
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 2: Now he's going to get another opportunity with the Sons,

1416
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 2: a team that's going through it's third coach in three years.

1417
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you hire Frank Vogel, you fire him after

1418
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 2: one year, that's pretty nuts right there. But what is

1419
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 2: the buzz on Budenholzer and why certain teams are just

1420
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 2: not quite interested in a guy that has a pretty

1421
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 2: successful resume.

1422
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the boss a Bullenholzer. He's been a

1423
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 7: respected NBA coach. I mean, he's from Greig Papovach's coaching three.

1424
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 7: As you mentioned, He's had plenty of experience in Atlanta

1425
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 7: and Milwaukee. I think that when you're looking at the

1426
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 7: reason behind his firing in Milwaukee is that they felt

1427
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 7: like same thing with darkod Ham, that he wasn't quite

1428
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 7: up to stuff when it came to making in game adjustments,

1429
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 7: and I think with that that would probably be one

1430
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,440
Speaker 7: of the main reasons why the Lakers had some apprehension

1431
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 7: with him, because he's come from a similar cloth with

1432
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 7: Dartin he's part of the coaching staff. But want to

1433
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 7: be too dramatic of the difference, but I think that

1434
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 7: he's a good head coach. And to your point about

1435
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 7: Frank Bogel being let go with Phoenix, while he certainly

1436
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 7: isn't blameless to get swept in the first round, with

1437
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 7: that kind of talent, there's a lot of blame to

1438
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 7: go around. But in fairness to Frank, that was the

1439
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 7: defensive challenge. Rosters very top heavy and Frank's specialtyals is

1440
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 7: on the defensive side of the floor. In Mike Budenholzer's case,

1441
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 7: he's more seen as an offensive specialist. So maybe they

1442
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 7: can tap in but more on that end of the floor.

1443
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 7: But unless they make dramatic changes to their I don't

1444
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 7: think that fundamentally they're going to change things. The problem

1445
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 7: with Phoenix is that they really don't have an avenue

1446
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 7: to make fundamental changes unless they decide, you know what,

1447
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,960
Speaker 7: let's trade Kevin Durant and or Devin Booker, and that

1448
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 7: would be a sign that they're ready to go and

1449
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 7: rebuild mode. And I don't think that's what Miss Mattishie

1450
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:19,799
Speaker 7: is thinking right now as the owner.

1451
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mark, So the semifinals a lot of fun games.

1452
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 4: I feel that the Mavericks are slowly becoming the favorite

1453
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 4: in the West. We saw the Nuggets. They bounced back

1454
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 4: Game three, they totally bounced back, but we saw them

1455
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 4: completely get crushed by the Timberwolves.

1456
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: Now the Mavericks have stolen one from OKC.

1457
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,559
Speaker 4: They win today, they seem to be jelling despite the

1458
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 4: fact that Luka Doncic is injured and crippled and all

1459
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 4: the good stuff.

1460
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Are they becoming the favorite?

1461
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 7: I think it's hard to say they're the favorite only

1462
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 7: because I think you could make a really compelling case

1463
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 7: for Dallas, Oklahoma City, Denver, Minnesota.

1464
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 3: But I think to.

1465
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 7: Your larger point on say that Dallas is showing that

1466
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 7: they could seriously beat Oklahoma City. They had the right stuff.

1467
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 7: They have Luka Dodja, who obviously is a star. He

1468
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 7: could have won MVP this year even with his injuries.

1469
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 7: He has a way of playing through the pain and

1470
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 7: still producing. Unlike last seasons, you have Kyrie Irving, who

1471
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 7: has shown a lot of great chemistry with Lucas. They

1472
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 7: know how to play off each other, and they also

1473
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 7: have a great supporting cast PJ. Washington Derek Wiley the

1474
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 7: second most notably, and I think that that is a

1475
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 7: shark contrast the last season and prior seasons with Luca,

1476
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 7: where it was just about him carrying the season, and

1477
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 7: right now it's the complete team. Does that mean that

1478
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 7: they're definitely going to beat Oklahoma City? Not necessarily shake

1479
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 7: elj justs Aalen Sanders the MVP Canada. They have blue

1480
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 7: door one infest defenders, one of the reasons why Luka

1481
01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 7: Doctas had a bore Game one. But Dallas has all

1482
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 7: the righting ordiens to seriously challenge them and not predict

1483
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 7: a seven game series that could really go either way.

1484
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 2: So Mark, before the playoffs, we've talked to you and

1485
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 2: you know, based on the regular season, we all seem

1486
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 2: to agree the Celtics are the team to beat. They

1487
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 2: have experience in the postseason. They'd been to the Eastern

1488
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 2: Conference Finals for the last five years, they.

1489
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 3: Just haven't broken through to win a championship.

1490
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 2: Then they blow out the Calves in Game one at

1491
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 2: Boston and they're like, Okay, T D.

1492
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 3: Gardens should be a nice season. Then they lose by

1493
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 3: twenty four at home.

1494
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 2: I mean how, I mean, how do you explain what

1495
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,599
Speaker 2: happened to the Celtics Game two against Miami now Game

1496
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:40,600
Speaker 2: two against the Cavaliers. Was there just a general disinterest

1497
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 2: in showing up for every game? And if that is

1498
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 2: the case, I mean, maybe they'll blitz creak the Calves

1499
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 2: just like they did Miami after losing that home game

1500
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 2: in game number two. But how do you explain a

1501
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 2: team like the Celtics just not showing up in a

1502
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 2: playoff game like they did Game two against the Calves.

1503
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 7: Well state, only for the Celtics, this is who they are.

1504
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 7: They played down in their competition. Ironically, in the playoffs.

1505
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 7: Their home record has been worse in the past seasons

1506
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 7: compared to the road, so they only plan at their

1507
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 7: best when they feel challenged. Now, maybe you could argue

1508
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 7: that the good side because they're so talented and when

1509
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 7: they go deeper, that's when they play at their best.

1510
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 7: But I think that they're running the risk of lean

1511
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 7: into that formula for two reasons. We still don't know

1512
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 7: when if Chris Haswerzingis is even going to return, and

1513
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 7: number two, I don't think having that attitude is good

1514
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 7: enough for whichever team they face in the West. I

1515
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 7: still think they get to the NBA Finals. I think

1516
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 7: that ironically, they don't have a pounceback game Bree. I

1517
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 7: would be surprised if they even blowed Cleveland out on

1518
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 7: their home four, because that's just what Boston does. But

1519
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 7: I don't think from what I've seen that they're good

1520
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 7: enough to beat any of those four contended West teams

1521
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 7: that I talked about earlier. Oklahoma City, Dallas, dead in Minnesota,

1522
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 7: and it's unfortunate for Monston because they've had the championship

1523
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 7: window for a while. Jason Tata has been more efficient,

1524
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 7: Jalen Browse been more efficient versus Porsingas has been a

1525
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 7: game changer. Drew Holliday has been a great defender with

1526
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 7: mitigating Marcus Smart's departure. But it got a play up

1527
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 7: to your competition, it can't be completed, and I think

1528
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 7: that inevitably in the NBA Finals, that concern, as well

1529
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 7: as off Porzinga's lack of availability, is ultimately going to

1530
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 7: catch up to them. Not so much that they might

1531
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 7: lose a game like they have so far in the

1532
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 7: verst the second round, but that they'd actually lose a

1533
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 7: series in the NBA Finals.

1534
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: Does the winner come out of the West? Mark?

1535
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, the winner's definitely coming out of the West.

1536
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 7: And I thought, as you vote, may recall that it

1537
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 7: was going to be Denver to lose, assuming good health.

1538
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 7: But I've spent splipped that if I had a pick

1539
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 7: out of those four games, I think it's Minnesota. I mean,

1540
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 7: Anta Edwards has shown he is a real deal. While

1541
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,639
Speaker 7: I think that has been a stretch to start doing

1542
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 7: the Michael Jordan comparisons, because Michael Jordan has a full

1543
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 7: resume and and the Edwards just say it started to

1544
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 7: see why that conversation has started. He has the qualities

1545
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 7: gave the game that remind you of them.

1546
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 2: Dude.

1547
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 7: That's not to say that he's empty right now, but

1548
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 7: he has the qualities that you remind you of. The

1549
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 7: Other thing is that they have a complete team part

1550
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:26,400
Speaker 7: of the town. I think it's the best uh A

1551
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 7: big band that can also shoot in the NBA. And

1552
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 7: I was talking to his trainer earlier this week. He

1553
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 7: was saying that when he got injured last season. He

1554
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 7: don't have the blessing in this guy is because it

1555
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 7: allowed and the Edwards to grow into a bigger role.

1556
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 7: And I think what that it was straight to everyone

1557
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 7: plays as a team. There's no egos or so personality clashes.

1558
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,520
Speaker 7: And that also extends to Rudy goal Bear in their chemistry.

1559
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 7: So any of those fourteenths have the case. But my

1560
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,959
Speaker 7: money is now in the Minnesota every Wolves.

1561
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: Well, we got series that at least look competitive, at

1562
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,640
Speaker 2: least at this point. We'll see how they play out

1563
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:01,919

1590
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, great job by everybody on the show today.

1591
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 2: All right, so I'm going to tell you right now

1592
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 2: it's one team that is guaranteed not to win the

1593
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 2: NBA Championship this year, and that team is the Clippers,

1594
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets. Why they're done?

1595
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Why? Okay, did you watch Game three?

1596
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 3: They're done?

1597
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 1: Do you know some guy named Nicola Jokic.

1598
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, he's the reason why they will not win the championship.

1599
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Nicola Jokic was just named the NBA's most Valuable Player.

1600
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Correct.

1601
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: Shock didn't like that uh huh, that's bad news.

1602
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 2: Why because the last eight NBA MVPs have not won

1603
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 2: the championship.

1604
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 3: That's right.

1605
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: Joki, remember has been the MVP three of the last

1606
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 2: four years. The one year he wasn't was last year

1607
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 2: and they won the championship. The last guy to win

1608
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 2: the regular season MVP and then win the NBA Championship

1609
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 2: with Steph Curry back in twenty fifteen. But let me

1610
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 2: take it a step further. In the last twenty years

1611
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 2: before this year, the regular season MVP only won the

1612
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 2: championship three times. That was back to back years with

1613
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 2: Lebron when he was in Miami in twenty twelve and

1614
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen and Stephan twenty fifteen with the Warriors. The

1615
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 2: other seventeen NBA this is Kevin Garnett, Steve Nash twice,

1616
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 2: Dirk Novitzky, Kobe Bryant, Lebron twice, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant,

1617
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 2: Steph Curry the second time, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Giannis twice,

1618
01:17:54,800 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 2: Nicola Jokic twice. Mb last year not winners in terms

1619
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 2: of a championship the Denver Nuggets, with Jokich winning the

1620
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 2: MVP of the regular season out, they will not win

1621
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 2: the NBA chick Oh no.

1622
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 1: Is this a curse winning the regular season MVP?

1623
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I should preface this.

1624
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: Is that why he didn't want to win it? He

1625
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: was like, I don't care.

1626
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 2: So we had the NCAA Basketball Tournament, right, And I

1627
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 2: had that stat that in the forty previous tournament, only

1628
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 2: five of the previous forty years had the team ranked

1629
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 2: number one in the final eight people going into the

1630
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 2: tournament gone on to win the championship.

1631
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 3: So I'm like, you cod has been eliminated.

1632
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:38,679
Speaker 1: Gone.

1633
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 2: And then I filled out my bracket and I put

1634
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 2: in you Cod. And because of that, we had like

1635
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 2: what thirty two brackets filled.

1636
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 3: Out here I finished. I think it was fourth, yeah,

1637
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 3: third or fourth yeah?

1638
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 4: Because they did you spread misinformation, Steve, people someday doing it.

1639
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: You sneakily went and picked you.

1640
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,760
Speaker 2: I just I'm just giving you a stat. You can

1641
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 2: do with whatever you want to do with a stat.

1642
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:09,799
Speaker 3: But in the last twenty years, twenty years, the regular

1643
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 3: season MVP has only gone on to win the championship

1644
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 3: three times again Lebron back to back years with the

1645
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 3: Heat and then Steph's first MVP award with the Warriors.

1646
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 3: The last eight.

1647
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 2: Go home empty handed, So you can use it any

1648
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 2: way you want. My job is to supply the information.

1649
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 2: So I'm the stat guy and I'm giving you the

1650
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 2: stat and you could double down on Denver to win, saying, well,

1651
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 2: it seems like anytime you try to prognosticate Harman you

1652
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 2: come up a loser.

1653
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 3: A'm not gonna deny.

1654
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:48,400
Speaker 1: That, yest.

1655
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 4: You make an excellent point with these stats, and it

1656
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 4: doesn't help that the West is right now so competive.

1657
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm asking you right now, who's coming out of

1658
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 3: the West want the maps on?

1659
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: You're going with the map, going with the maps.

1660
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 4: The maps were already so close without Kyrie Irving, with

1661
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 4: just Luka Doncic Kyrie Irving.

1662
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: I we have to give him credit for what he

1663
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:11,640
Speaker 1: has done, taking.

1664
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 4: A backseat quote unquote to Luca Derek Lively also playing

1665
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 4: really well.

1666
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,639
Speaker 1: It's not just both of them, they are playing well,

1667
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: all of them.

1668
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So now you're because you just said, are you

1669
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 2: with Mark Mendina on this as far as the west.

1670
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 3: Will, the winds will?

1671
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 1: Yes? And I'm taking the maps.

1672
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 3: Okay, here we are here, we are on this May eleventh.

01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: just tell me what are you taking?

1675
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 3: All right, let me think about this for a second. Here,

1676
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 3: fair two, all right. My pick to win the NBA Championship.
