12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: we appreciate you joining us. Right before we sat down

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: to record, there was massive breaking news in the golf world. Now,

14
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: while we do love of the Nick's Golf Corner segments

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: on this show, we have not really gotten into the

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: muddy waters of the Live Tour and the PGA Tour.

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: And today it would appear our decision not to was

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: somewhat vindicated. It as and we'll just get into this

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: here and then we'll get into the actual show. And

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: we appreciate you watching on YouTube. We appreciate you listening

Speaker 2: if you're watching on YouTube, submit your questions and comments.

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: We'll get to them at the end of the show.

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: The livetour and PGA tour have merged. All of the

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 2: details are not yet out that it has just happened

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: in the last twenty minutes that it has been announced.

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: But there are going to be some folks, Luckily I

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: am not one of them, be it golfers, golf commentators,

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: or sports commentators that have found themselves in a bit

29
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: of a pickle because they were just adamant that they

30
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: would never, under any circumstances support anything associated with the

31
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: Saudi government because of the murder of Jamal Kashagi, and

32
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: I apologize if I'm pronouncing his name wrong, because of

33
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: obviously the connections to the terrorists on nine to eleven,

34
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: because of human rights abuses, and that was an understandable position,

35
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: totally understandable. But the reason we didn't take it on

36
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: this show was any of us that are involved in

37
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: any type of capitalistic enterprise. For a lot of us,

38
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: I should say, you go high enough up the corporate

39
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: org char or food chain and you start dealing with

40
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: some uncomfortable realities. You start dealing with some of your

41
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: own hypocrisies, grab your iPhone and you're like, wait, who

42
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: made this? How does it work? You look at your sneakers. Now,

43
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: I understand there's different lines for everybody, and I don't

44
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: really want to relitigate it. We talked about this a

45
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: year ago, but we decided, you know what, We're just

46
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: gonna stay out of it because the other possible train

47
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: coming down the tracks was the really rich golfers and

48
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: the really rich PGA tour that was standing on principle

49
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: and claiming the moral high ground that eventually they would fold.

50
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: And that appears to be what has happened. So for

51
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: folks that were really into the live tour PGA tour

52
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: feud and Phil Mickelson and Brooks Kopka and Brandy Shambly,

53
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Brandal Shamblee seemed to get a lot of people mad

54
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: at him and what's Greg Norman doing and all of that.

55
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: I'll just be totally honest. There are going to be better,

56
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: more informed shows on that very story that I'm sure

57
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: you can find. We are gonna talk NBA finals, and

58
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk a little NFL. That is what we do.

59
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: We also might squeeze in a little French open as

60
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: we might get a Djokovic alkradized semifinal, which would be

61
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: just spectacular. However, we first must get to what is

62
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: not on today's show. Not on today's show chiefs Ahlik,

63
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs fan who was allegedly robbing banks to pay

64
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: for his Chiefs tickets. He is on the most wanted

65
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: list that did not make show. Also Patrick Mahomes that

66
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: I tried to fix the sign behind me, potentially being

67
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: the greatest multi sport athlete ever. That might be a

68
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: spit of a stretch, but we knew the guy was

69
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: an unbelievable baseball player. He is a great golfriend's greatest

70
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: football player ever that did not make the show. And

71
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs visit the White House that did not make

72
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 2: the show either. Travis Kell, Oh, there's me, you know,

73
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: I went in. There's me. I shaved my head then

74
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: grew all the hairback. I don't know why that's the

75
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: picture they used of me for the YouTube audience, but

76
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: that is an older picture of me, that's six and

77
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: a half years old. That's from our original First Things

78
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: First photoshoot the Chiefs visiting the White House. But Diora,

79
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: let's get to the NBA Finals. Quite the interesting Game

80
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: two we had. Why don't you set it up?

81
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: After Miami took Game two in Denver, your boy Mike

82
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: Blone called out his team. He said the loss was

83
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: about a lack of effort from Denver. Was it truly

84
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: an effort problem or is Miami just better?

85
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna go with neither. Miami is not flatly

86
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: better than Denver, but they might very well be just

87
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: as good, and they are definitely better coached. And that

88
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: is not a knock on Mike Malone. That is just

89
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: a reality of you're up against the best coach in

90
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: basketball and Eric Spolstro I did not think this was

91
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: flatly a effort issue. I know Michael Malone called it

92
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: an effort issue, and I think no. I don't think

93
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 2: it was a skill issue either. I think it was

94
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: an execution issue. So there was When Michael Malone's talking

95
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: about effort, he's talking about Michael Porter Junior specifically, and

96
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior got lost on defense played Lackaday's ago.

97
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 2: It was a lot of what we were used to

98
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: seeing for Michael Porter Junior early in his career. That's fine,

99
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: so be it now? Is it smart? For Michael Malone

100
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: to all out make it pretty clear he's talking about

101
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: one guy in his press conference. I don't know if

102
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: that's smarter or not, but it wasn't hard to figure

103
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: out who he was talking about because the other Nuggets

104
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: player who had a really rough game was KCP, but

105
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: that was because he was fouling three point shooters. That's

106
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: not a lack of effort. That is playing out of control.

107
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: That's almost trying too hard exactly. It's so the getting

108
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: lost on defense, you can say that's lack of focus

109
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: and attention to detail. But at some point folks are

110
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: going to have to recognize this Miami Heat team is

111
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: just different. Chris Vernon had this stat on the mismatch

112
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: with Kevin O'Connor, so I want to give credit to

113
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: him because it's truly remarkable. This postseason, when trailing by

114
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: eight or more in the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat

115
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: are four and seven, four wins, seven losses. Now, that

116
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: might not sound that good, and considering the fact that

117
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: they have only lost seven games the entirety of the postseason,

118
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: it means in all seven of those they were trailing

119
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: by at least eight in the fourth They're four and

120
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: seven these playoffs when trailing by eight or more the

121
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: rest of the league diora that has happened sixty two

122
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: times or sixty three times. Pardon me, what do you

123
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: think their record is? Every team other than the Heat

124
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: in games when they trail by eight or more in

125
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of the sixty three games, how many wins?

126
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: How many losses? Obviously you're gonna lose way more than

127
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: you win because you're trailing by at least eight in

128
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Miami is four and seven. The rest

129
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: of the league is one and sixty two. Think about that,

130
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 2: the rest? What are you laughing about? Because I let

131
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: you off the hook by not having you actually give

132
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: a number. Yeah, yeah, I saw that. I saw a

133
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: look of panic across your eyes. You were like, I'm

134
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: gonna I have to do math on the fly to

135
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: make sure they add up to sixty three, and I

136
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: have to give a guess that makes sense. I realized

137
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: I was putting you. That was me being a bad team,

138
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: and I was putting you in a bad spot. I apologize.

139
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: I saw it, So I just turned it into a

140
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: rhetorical question. One in sixty two. So let's put it

141
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: a different way. There have been five playoff games this

142
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 2: year that a team trailed by eight or more in

143
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: the fourth and one. Four of them have been by Miami,

144
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: one by the other fifteen teams to make the playoffs.

145
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: This is a different team. You are fighting a different

146
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: war than you're fighting with every other team in the league.

147
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: And no, they don't have the raw talent that the

148
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: Lakers had, that the Bucks had, that the Celtics had,

149
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: that the Nuggets have. But they have unlocked a winning

150
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: formula in a way that no other team this playoffs

151
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: other than Denver has unlocked. And so I don't think

152
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: it was that Denver didn't try. I think it's that

153
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: Miami never bleeping quits and keeps finding a way. Now,

154
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: I will tell you also why I think that win

155
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 2: was critical, piercing the balloon of invincibility of Denver, which

156
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: had not lost at home this postseason, had not lost

157
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: at home in a game Yokic's played since March twelfth,

158
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: nearly three months ago this year at home playoffs in

159
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: regular season, when they had at least a five point

160
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: lead going into the fourth quarter, they were unbeatable twenty

161
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: nine to zero. Psychologically, that does two things. One Miami

162
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: now knows unequivocally we can go in there and win.

163
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: And two the Nuggets know, oh, this is a different

164
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: type of challenge because the Lakers never really threatened us

165
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: in this building. The Sun's never threatened us in this building, obviously,

166
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: the Timbrels never threatened us in this building. The Heat,

167
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: without their best player playing that well, without their second

168
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: leading score from the conference finals, Caleb Martin, doing anything,

169
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: they found a way to come back from fifteen down

170
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: and beat us. And aside from the Caleb Martin minutes,

171
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: there was I'm sorry, aside from the Cody Zeller minutes,

172
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: I almost got that wrong, the Heat dominated that game.

173
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: So this is going to be a great finals. I

174
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: understand after Game one everyone was talking sweep and that

175
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 2: the Miami's Cinderella carriage is turned back into a pumpkin

176
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: and all that reactionary nonsense. The Heat have earned everyone's

177
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: unquestioned respect. It is now a best of five series

178
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: and Miami has home court. Since Jimmy Butler got to Miami,

179
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: no team in the league has more playoff victories. Since

180
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler got to Miami. No team in the league

181
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: has been to the finals more than once other than Miami.

182
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: Since Jimmy Butler got to Miami, no team has had

183
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: the postseason success overall of the Miami Heat. If they

184
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 2: can finish the job and win these next three games,

185
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: or win three of the next five games, all right

186
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: next to you are.

187
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: So the Heat are now in control of the finals

188
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: and are about to get Tyler herro back, but Vegas

189
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: still has them as home dogs. Are you hammering the

190
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: Heat in Game three?

191
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: I'm not. I bet the Heat for a real amount

192
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: of money on the money line in Game seven against Boston,

193
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: Game one against Denver, and Game two against Denver. All

194
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: of those bets were better than three to one, better

195
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: than plus three hundred. I obviously went two and one

196
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: because they lost Game one. I don't I like the

197
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: Heat in this spot. I might bet a little bit

198
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: on them, but I am not dead on certain that

199
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna win both of these games in Miami. I

200
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: think they could. I do think the line is disrespectful.

201
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: I think the fact that how far back do we

202
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: have to go till the last from the last time

203
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: we had a home underdog in the NBA Finals. It's

204
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: gotta be Lebron's cabs in twenty eighteen against the uh

205
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: against the Katie Warriors. I guess maybe the Raptors in

206
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: the game Katie popped his achilles because they knew Katie

207
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: was coming back that game. But it's been years, so yeah,

208
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: I do think it's a disrespectful line, and I'll probably

209
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: bet a little on Miami. But I hammered Miami in

210
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: game seven, game one, in game two because they were

211
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: getting better than three to one, and that was outrageous.

212
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: This is Vegas places saying this is not quite a

213
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: coin flip game, but a sixty to forty game. Now,

214
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: I think it should be sixty forty in Miami's favor.

215
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: But I don't think this is a mismatch. I don't

216
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: think this is lopsided. I don't think Denver is a

217
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: fraudulent team. That would be ridiculous. I just think the

218
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: betting public's lack of regard for the Miami Heat is bananas.

219
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: All right.

220
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 3: Next, Okay, Yokic dropped another forty point game and a loss.

221
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: They never win when he scores a ton of points,

222
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 3: so I see why you are coming around on Jokic.

223
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: He's like Lebron where he could only win when his

224
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: teammates hit the big shots.

225
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always said it's very unfair that Lebron's teammates

226
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: are allowed to make shots. It's so it's such a

227
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: dumb take, and that's not done by you. I understand

228
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: the producers right the questions, but the idea that Lebron James,

229
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: who has more playoff buzzer beats and more playoff game

230
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: winners than any player in NBA history, that he can

231
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: only win when his teammates hit shots is just such

232
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: a such a straw man nonsense that they knew would

233
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: get me angry. By the way, where's a hey, show

234
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: the control room again real quick, if you could please,

235
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: cuz I do remember something from the last time we

236
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: saw you. Guys. Hey, Daniel, where's your broom? Buddy, where's

237
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: your broom? Oh? Yeah, that doesn't Yeah, I know, don't

238
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: put it down cause you know I've been talking behind

239
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: the scenes. Gabe thought I was being a little harsh

240
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 2: saying that your job's on the line in these finals.

241
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: Daniel the Nuggets fan who trolled me in the group jets,

242
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: and Gabe said we can't do that. So I just

243
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: guy said, you know what, instead of you know, threatening

244
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: the employment. Let's just add to the responsibilities. And since

245
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: the guy seems to like brooms so much, I figure

246
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: when everyone goes home for the day, you can sweep

247
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: up after the team. You can help everybody out. Waving

248
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: that broom in my face going into the finals, thinking

249
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets were gonna become the first team and

250
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: mby That was the other insane thing about the commentary.

251
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: And then we'll get to the Jokic question. Sorry about

252
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: the commentary all across media on Friday about a sweep.

253
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: No team in NBA history has ever swept the final

254
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: two rounds of the playoffs. No team ever has gone

255
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 2: conference finals finals sweep. And yet folks were ready to

256
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: just start handing over the lob to the Denver Nuggets. Insane.

257
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: It was gonna be a quick series. Not gonna be

258
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: a quick series. All right, what's the Jokic question?

259
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: What does it say about him that Miami would rather

260
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 3: take their chances letting him score.

261
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 2: I don't even says anything about him. I think it's actually,

262
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: well it does. I think it's a compliment to him

263
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: because here's there are so many downstream effects from everyone

264
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 2: being involved. First of all, you play more confident and

265
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: locked in an attention to detail defensively when you are

266
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: making shots. So Michael Porter Junior's defense would have been

267
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: more attentive. I think kcp's defense would have been less

268
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 2: frenetic if they had been hitting shots, but they weren't,

269
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: and that affects different players in different ways. And because

270
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: of that, Jokich's passing is the thing that unlocks Denver's

271
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: offense to next level production. I I had this tweet.

272
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 2: Your mom is so funny. By the way, Sorry, I'll

273
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: finish the thought. Come on, your mom just texts me, Hey,

274
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 2: what's the address to that plant spot? Crying emoji? Sorry,

275
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: I know you're doing your show and stuff. Well, she's

276
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: the best. Uh. I had this. I tweeted out this

277
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: stat and I understand that Eric Spolstra attempted to tamp

278
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: down on this talk, but I think it's very relevant.

279
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: The Denver Nuggets this year in the regular season, when

280
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: Yokich had double digit assists, we're thirty four and four.

281
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: When he didn't, they were fourteen and seventeen. So when

282
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: jo Kich has ten plus assists, they are a seventy

283
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: two win. Seventy two win caliber team would be as

284
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: good as any team in NBA history. When he doesn't,

285
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: they're a losing team. And we have seen. I brought

286
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: this up before the series. I said this would be

287
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: that should be the strategy. O five Western Conference Finals

288
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 2: Spur Sons, Amari Stodemeyer averaged thirty seven a game that series.

289
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: Popovich was just like, you know what, we're not doubling him.

290
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: We are if he scores. For now. He was a

291
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: very different player, obviously a very different player than Jokic,

292
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: demonstrably different. But the point was let him go crazy.

293
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: Don't let Joe Johnson and Sean Marion and the other shooters,

294
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: Sean mariwin really a shooter kind of turned into one

295
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: don't let them go off, and it worked. They won

296
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: in five. There are this is a sound strategy because

297
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: it's gonna take around one point fifteen to win these games.

298
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 2: If Jokic is quote only unquote creating fifty points, you

299
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: can live with that, you really can. What you can

300
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: live with is when he's creating, scoring and assisting sixty

301
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: sixty five points like he did in Game one, that's

302
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: what kills you. So I do think this is a

303
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: sound strategy. Do you have a follow up there to.

304
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: Your Yeah, is he the only player in the in

305
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 3: NBA history whose kryptonite is scoring forty points a game?

306
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's not that it's his kryptonite. I know they're

307
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: ozer and three. This post is when he scores forty plus.

308
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: But there is a level of other great playmakers. Isaiah

309
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,479
Speaker 2: Thomas was at his best, he could score forty. He

310
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 2: was at his best when he was twenty and ten.

311
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: Steve Nash similarly magic. He could score big numbers, but

312
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: not with regularity. He had to be passing great playmakers

313
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: and distributors. That is what their secret sauces, and it

314
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: wouldn't be shot. So Isaiah, to me, is a good

315
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: example because Isaiah was just best. The Pistons were best

316
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: when he was getting everyone involved. Famously, they lost the

317
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: forty three point finals game when he had twenty five

318
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: in a quarter. They lost. I mean they only lost

319
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: by a couple, but they lost. He just so, this

320
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: is not something we've never seen before. We've just never

321
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: seen it from a center.

322
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 3: Next, Kyrie has apparently reached out to Lebron to see

323
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 3: if he would come to Dallas. Luca on Lebron together

324
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: would make your head explode. If Kyrie really just wants

325
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: to get back together with Lebron, was this the best

326
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: way to go about it?

327
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: All? Right? So this is more complicated story than people

328
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: are giving it credit for. It's also very simple. The

329
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: simple part is this, there is no way for the

330
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks to acquire Kyrie Irving. I'm sorry, Lebron James

331
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: this off season. It doesn't It's not gonna happen. There's

332
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: no trade that makes sense for the Lakers. He's not

333
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: getting bought out. That's not happening. So why is this

334
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 2: story out there now? I do think Kyrie wants to

335
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: play with Lebron, and Bill Simmons mentioned Lebron trying to

336
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: angle to get to Dallas, but that is, in my opinion,

337
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: only tenable after this coming season, when Lebron's a free

338
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: agent and he can go anywhere he wants. Simmons talked

339
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 2: about Draymond going down there and then Lebron going down

340
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: there eventually. I think this is Kyrie wants the MAVs

341
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: to give him the Max.

342
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 3: Now.

343
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: I also think Kyrie ideally would love to find a

344
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: way for the Lakers for him to play with the

345
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: Lakers and to get the Max I don't see how

346
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: that is feasible because the MAVs are not gonna want

347
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: D'Angelo Russell and as signing, this is not gonna happen.

348
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 2: So what I think Kyrie is sick of giving up

349
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: money and he wants the max. He understands this might

350
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: be his last big contract. But I think this is

351
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: Kyrie trying to engender goodwill from Dallas. Making it cleary

352
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: is two things. One is Kyrie trying to engender goodwill

353
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: from Dallas, like, look, guys, I'm recruiting for you, I'm

354
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: trying to help this situation as much as I possibly can,

355
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: and then also making it clear to Lebron, I still

356
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: want to play with you. If you can somehow find

357
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 2: a way to get me over to the Lakers, that

358
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: would be great too. But Lebron, Luca and Kyrie in

359
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: Dallas this season is not a possibility, no matter who

360
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 2: what's being reported. That's the twenty minutes on the Die eight.

373
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: to bring us back. Let's host. That's the most important

374
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: thing to get the episode count right.

375
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: I think I got it?

376
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: Okay, good job. What are we doing here?

377
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: We're playing a game of right or wrong?

378
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it.

379
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 3: So. NBA Commissioner Adam sover Su suggested NBA expansion is coming.

380
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: Vegas has long been rumored as a home for an

381
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: NBA team, and soon there'll be a four sports city.

382
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: Right or wrong, Vegas will be the best sports town

383
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: in America.

384
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: Oh wrong by a mile. Now, it will be awesome

385
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 2: to have four teams in Vegas. So who is the

386
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: current Well, I'll get that, and let me get that

387
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: in a second. Let me first explain why Vegas won't

388
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 2: be number of things very difficult for warm weather places

389
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 2: with awesome things to do, being the best sports town.

390
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 2: So why is La not a great sports town because

391
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: of the beach in the mountains. That's why, because there

392
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: are so many other entertainment options. And another problem is

393
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 2: cities that are disproportionately transplants don't have like the lifelong

394
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: fan loyalty we lived in Houston. Houston not a good

395
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: sports town. Sorry, I know people in Uston might get

396
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 2: mad at me. Good football town, Okay, baseball town, bad

397
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: basketball town, not a great sports town. Miami not a

398
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: great sports town. Doesn't mean there aren't great fans, but

399
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: is it the lifeblood of the city. No, Vegas wildly

400
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: disproportionate amount of transplants. It will be tourists, fans of

401
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: opposing teams at a lot of these games, like, oh,

402
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: what road trips are we going? Let's go to Vegas

403
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: see our team play hit the strip, all that stuff.

404
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: So no, those are not your best sports towns. Your

405
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: best sports towns are either small markets like Buffalo or

406
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: Kansas City where the entirety of the green Bay. The

407
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: entirety of the town's identity is built up in having

408
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: a pro sports team. I used to say this all

409
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: the time about my hometown. I probably said it on

410
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: the podcast. The only difference between Kansas City and Des

411
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: Moines is we have the Chiefs and the Royals and

412
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: they don't like. That's it the reason when I say

413
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: I'm from Kansas City, they were like, oh, I know

414
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: that place. It's because we have the Chiefs and Royals.

415
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't know that Kansas City is markedly bigger than,

416
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: like I said, Des Moines or Lincoln, Omaha, Nebraska. Omah

417
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: is a great example. Like what does Omaha have is

418
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: Warren Buffett? There? College World Series is there? I don't know?

419
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: Like so and the very best sports cities are cold

420
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: weather northeastern, angry places just are where the people's entire

421
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: identity is wrapped in the sports team. There is not

422
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: a lot to do because the weather sucks so much.

423
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: And what it is is you go to a game.

424
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: So Detroit's not northeastern. It to great sports city Chicago,

425
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: there is a lot to do. It's a very good

426
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: sports city. But Boston and Philly and probably third place

427
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: New York are your best sports cities now, it also

428
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 2: creates the craziest fans and the most irrational ones, but

429
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 2: nicer weather, more entertainment options. Is is that not New York?

430
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: Though? Well, New York's you no matter what the weather,

431
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: you could still be outside.

432
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: So neat New York's unique in New York's a pretty

433
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: damn good sports city despite all of the other options,

434
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: because there are so many people that you you know

435
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 2: what I mean, you just have so many Now you

436
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: might say, what about Los Angeles?

437
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: Then?

438
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: Has that many people? Los Angeles had so many transplants.

439
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: Sports are not the biggest entertainment option because of Hollywood

440
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: and the beach really takes away like there is it

441
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: is sure exactly there is not a single what I

442
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: would consider great American sports city that also has an

443
00:31:53,840 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: awesome beach. I just Tampa's not a great one. Uh Miami.

444
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: Houston doesn't have an awesome beach, but it does have

445
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: a beach.

446
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: Who's going to Galveston a lot? I understand who's gonna

447
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: put Galveston with good?

448
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: But La San Diego, San Francisco coastal places is not

449
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: great sports cities As far as where the NBA should

450
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 2: expand to Vegas and Seattle make the most sense. I

451
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: know people want me to say Kansas City.

452
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: You don't think Kansas City should have a basketball team.

453
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: I would love it. Uh, Kansas City is a college

454
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: sports city for basketball. It's Jayhawks fans. We had one,

455
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: we lost it.

456
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 3: What team was that?

457
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: The Kansaity Kings. They went to Sacramento, AH. So I

458
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: people say Virginia Beach should have one. I guess that's

459
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: a huge city that I just am not familiar with.

460
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: If you wanted to put one in the Midwest, Kansas

461
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: City would be the place. You have Oklahoma City, you

462
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: have Denver, you have Chicago. Kansas City wouldn't make sense.

463
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: But I don't think you need to expand by four teams.

464
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: I think expanding by two and doing Seattle and Vegas

465
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: probably makes the most sense. I also think that I'm

466
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: trying to if I'm trying to think if there's another city,

467
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: another kind of area of the country that needs a team.

468
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't do anywhere in what's called the

469
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: Big West, like Idaho, Montana, the Dakota's Wyoming. You just

470
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: can't have a minute. You can't. It's a crime that

471
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: those five states have ten senators. Give me a break.

472
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 2: It's like eighty five people live there. Sorry for the

473
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: people watching the show, but it's not really one person,

474
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: one vote. When his state with four hundred thousand the

475
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 2: real states, but the founders didn't expect one state to

476
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: have four hundred thousand people another to have forty million.

477
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: You have the same number of senators. Give me a break.

478
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 2: All right? Next?

479
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: All right? The Celtics keep their keep their embattled coach

480
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 3: head coach Joe Missoula next year. Right or wrong? Boston

481
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: is smart for keeping Mozilla.

482
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: You're right? No? I like, yeah, you want to know

483
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 2: how that questions will sound? No, I am keeping their

484
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 2: battle head coach Joe Missoula next year, right or wrong?

485
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: Boston is smart for keeping.

486
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 3: I'm aware how it was supposed to be read.

487
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 2: I think are how it was read. Yes, the Celtics

488
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 2: keeping their battle head coach for me, Joe Masila next

489
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: year right a wrong? Misua wrong. I understand why they're

490
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: doing it, but I think it's a mistake. I think

491
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: they know it's a mistake. The problem is when you

492
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: are the person that hired the guy, you don't want

493
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: to have to fire him because you are then admitting

494
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: you screwed up. And it's not that Brad Stevens made

495
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: Missoula the head coach. It's that twenty five games in

496
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: he gave him a contract extension that he didn't have

497
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: to give him. So when you do that, does Brad

498
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 2: Stevens then want to go to his bosses, the grouse

499
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: Beck and the owners and be like, Hey, you guys

500
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: got to cut a check for fifteen to twenty million

501
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: bucks for this contract extension that we got to pay

502
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: out that I shouldn't have given him. And so they're

503
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 2: gonna try to keep Jalen Brown. I assume they are

504
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: keeping Joe Missoula, and I think it's a mistake.

505
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: Next, Okay, Russell Wilson was reportedly reportedly set to be

506
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 3: traded to Philadelphia before he nixed the trade in favor

507
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: of a move to Denver. Right or wrong, Philly, Russ

508
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: would have beaten the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

509
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have been in the Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts

510
00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: was awesome last year. The idea that Russell Wilson Philly,

511
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: they would have been as good as with Jalen Hurts.

512
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not the biggest Jalen Hurts guy in the world.

513
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 2: But the idea that they would have sniffed the Super

514
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: Bowl if they lost Jalen in place of Russell Wilson.

515
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: Talk about a sliding doors NFL moment. Jalen Hurts has

516
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 2: got a quarter of a billion dollar contract. Damn near one.

517
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 2: NFL VP took him to the Super Bowl. They were

518
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 2: gonna relegate him to second string in favor of Russell Wilson,

519
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson threw his body in front of the

520
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: car wanting to come to Mahomes's division instead. Bananas but

521
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 2: obviously wrong.

522
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 3: Next, Dalvin Cook trade rumors are swirling, and Ezekiel Ella

523
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: is still unsigned. These are huge name guys, but no

524
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 3: one wants to spend on running backs anymore. Right or wrong,

525
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: The NFL has a running back problem.

526
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: Wrong, I don't think it's a problem. Sports change man

527
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 2: and Zeke is a huge name, but he's not a

528
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: very good player anymore. Dalvin Cook's a good player to

529
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: a very good player, but expensive player to spot. People

530
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: don't want to spend money guys. Things change. There's the

531
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 2: and there's no shit problem with that. There used to

532
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: be a market in the NBA for what we call

533
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 2: the big white stiff, the seven footer that couldn't move

534
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: and could give you six fouls a game and post up.

535
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: Those guys are now unemployed. These sports change, media changes,

536
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: the world changes. There are things that used to want

537
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: to be valuable that no longer are. And the running

538
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: back position is right now in a spot where you

539
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: can find eighty percent of top level production for ten

540
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: percent of the cost. So why would you not just

541
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: go with that nearly every time?

542
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 3: Next Jaguar, Yeah, okay, go ahead, you've got to stop.

543
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: Well, I listened. I expect excellence. Who are on one

544
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty seven episodes in people are expecting it

545
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: to be nice and tight.

546
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Jaguars coach Doug Peterson said. Trevor Lawrence showed

547
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: that he can put the team on his back last

548
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,439
Speaker 3: season and expects more of him this year. Right or wrong,

549
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence will be the twenty twenty four MVP.

550
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: I think. I mean, if I right now you're asking me,

551
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: well I picked Trevor to win MVP, I might, But

552
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say wrong right now because I don't want

553
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: to be locked into the prediction. It's on the board

554
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: and people are not giving the Jaguars the respect they

555
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 2: earned last year. They were six and one after the bye.

556
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 2: They had a twenty seven point comeback in a playoff

557
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 2: game against the Chargers, a good team, and then they

558
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: played the Chiefs within a score they I said this

559
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: on TV yesterday and people lost their minds. Maybe this

560
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: is why I'm trending on Twitter right now my Trevor

561
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: Lawrence Bills take. I'm sure that's the reason. Uh. Last year,

562
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: what did the Bills accomplished more than the Jaguars. They

563
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 2: both won their division, they both won a playoff game.

564
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 2: Let's think about those playoff games. The Jags beat the Chargers,

565
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: the Bills escaped against Skuyler Thompson. They both lost in

566
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 2: Round two. The Jags lost on the road in Kansas

567
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: City by seven. The Bills lost at home to Cincinnati

568
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 2: by seventeen. The Jags quarterback is on an upward, upward trajectory.

569
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: The Bills quarterback finished the last ten games of last

570
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: year with some of his roughest football of his careers,

571
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 2: of his last four years of his career. So I

572
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: don't know about him being the league MVP, but the

573
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: Jags deserve more respect than they're getting.

574
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 3: Next announced that Vision Pro a new VR headset. Right

575
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: or wrong, you are in on VR.

576
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 2: I'm not in on VR until they listen. People don't

577
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: want to put on goggles.

578
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: Now I did, a lot of people want to put

579
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 3: on goggles. Actually, what do you mean. I mean a

580
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 3: lot of people enjoyed the virtual reality stuff like you

581
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: can like you can play games, you could go to

582
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 3: the mall, like the okay watch games.

583
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: So now I did read that someone that wore these

584
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: and it gives you the full blown NBA court side experience.

585
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool.

586
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: That could be cool. But I don't think virtual reality

587
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: or any of this augmented reality because this this isn't

588
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: like a typical VR headset the way I understand it.

589
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: It's you put on this headset and then like your

590
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: phone screen is in front of you and could swipe

591
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 2: with your hand, and like it moves based on where

592
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: your eyes are, and you can do all that without

593
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 2: your phone in your hand.

594
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 3: That's a lot of VR headsets too.

595
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,479
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I think I get that. But I think that.

596
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 3: I, oh, yeah, because it's Apple, It's gonna.

597
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: It's exactly, and I think this is a more I

598
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: mean it's thirty five hundred dollars compared to the other ones,

599
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: so I think this is a more refined tech. The

600
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 2: point I'm making is some there might be a niche,

601
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: a niche market of people that are willing to walk

602
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 2: around wearing this. It is not going but just like

603
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: people like oh, three D TVs and it's like, I

604
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: gotta wear these stupid glasses. No, and then the oculus,

605
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 2: there was a there was a market for it, but again,

606
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: people don't like wearing not enough, in my opinion, people

607
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: like wearing that big stuff on their face. And I

608
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: know the Apple one it's clear, so you could theoretically

609
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: just walk the streets with it on. I don't think

610
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: people are gonna do it. I think eventually when it

611
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: becomes either an implant or like a lens or something

612
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: very small that is an augment to like glasses that

613
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 2: you already wear, then it will take off. But people

614
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 2: don't like walking around wearing what looks like ski goggles. Again.

615
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: This maybe this will end up being something like when

616
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 2: Katie Kirk and Matt Lower were laughing about the Internet

617
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 2: and they're like, oh, the Internet, who's gonna use that?

618
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: And now they look stupid if in twenty years or

619
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: in two years, I should say everyone's walking around wearing

620
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: these headsets. I don't think people are gonna do it,

621
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 2: do you. I just don't think people are.

622
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 3: Gonna think like maybe like the head Inmplant thing, I

623
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 3: could completely see happening.

624
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 2: I think that could happen, maybe.

625
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: Just because I've watched him episodes about Black Mirror.

626
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah you know they're coming out with a new season

627
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 2: really of Black Mirror. Yeah, five episodes. I think. I

628
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: I just I And again, putting on an Oculus to

629
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 2: play video games at home is very different than what

630
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 2: they're trying to market for here because I get that.

631
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm gonna sit down here and play a

632
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: video game by myself. What does it really matter if

633
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm wearing this headsetter? You know what I mean? Headset

634
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 2: or not? You sometimes when you play Fortnite or Brother

635
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: Place Fortnite, you put on pretty bulky headphones anyway with

636
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: a mic like. I get that. But the idea that

637
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: these are I think, and I might be wrong. Apple

638
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 2: wants these to be like AirPods, like people just walk

639
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 2: around with them. I don't think that's realistic. And let

640
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 2: me ask you this how long until you think you

641
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: start somewhat regularly seeing people on the streets of New

642
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: York City walking around with these with the months few months. Yeah,

643
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: I mean, thirty five hundred dollars is a hell of

644
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: a price.

645
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: But for the rich people in New York City, like

646
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 3: that was like how I was how people saw the

647
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: other six hundred dollars headphones at first. And I know

648
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: it's a totally different price difference, but when that first

649
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 3: came out, everyone's like, I'm not paying six hundred dollars

650
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 3: for Yes, I am, Okay, they were a gift. They

651
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 3: were they were a gift. You don't know. But I'm saying,

652
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: like people thought that was insane.

653
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:36,280
Speaker 2: Yes, but the thing is you didn't look ridiculous. People

654
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: have walked around wearing headphones for a long time, I think.

655
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: But New York City is a totally differenttographic fashion and

656
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 3: for different like the fashion New York is different than

657
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 3: everywhere else.

658
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 2: No, that's fair.

659
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: People in New York don't care about walking around looking

660
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 3: a fool because no, it matches my outfit, it.

661
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: Looks Okay, I mean, listen, I could be wrong on this,

662
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 2: We'll see. I'm just I am. I didn't buy land

663
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 2: in the metaverse, I didn't. I only very very lightly

664
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: dipped my toe into crypto and I don't. And I

665
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 2: am not as panicked as everyone else is about AI.

666
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 2: I am. I am still going to short that we

667
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: are where where the tech needs to get for virtual

668
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: reality to become a major part of our lives. I

669
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 2: think it will get there eventually. I don't think we're

670
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 2: there yet.

671
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 3: All Right, last one, this last one, So maybe you

672
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 3: should pronounce this one. But right or wrong, you should

673
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 3: stop trolling me.

674
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 2: Right or wrong? You should be better at your job.

675
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: Quick break right back? What's right?

676
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 3: I quit? Welcome back Episode one. Now we're going to

677
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 3: read your fan questions. Scott Fraser says, So is this

678
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 3: a Bengal shirt you're wearing?

679
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: Nick oh No, I understand why you'd think that it

680
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 2: is a Tiger on it, But it's a Kenzo shirt,

681
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: not a Bengals. It has no team affiliation, just high fashion,

682
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: that's all it is.

683
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: Next, it's you cool guy. Ben Whitney asked, if Miami

684
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 3: loses the series in five or six games, what moves

685
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 3: do they make in this offseason to get back and

686
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 3: finally break through after a second Finals loss of the

687
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 3: Jimmy bam era.

688
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: I don't think they do anything major. I think you

689
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 2: clearly have a core that is good enough. I think

690
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: that you expect continued growth from Caleb Martin. You have

691
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 2: decisions to make on Struce and Vincent, and because you're Miami,

692
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: you're always going to be big, you know, whales shopping

693
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 2: as pat Riley talks about, and going after the biggest

694
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: fish possible. But I don't think you do any massive

695
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: overhaul because unless you think we're just not good enough.

696
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: But I don't think they're gonna feel like we're just

697
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 2: not good enough.

698
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 3: Next, Michael Harris asked which team would be better if

699
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 3: the rest of the roster remained the same. Lebron and

700
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 3: the MAVs are Kyrie on the Lakers. Kyrie just needs

701
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 3: to come back to the Nets.

702
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that's not happening, and they don't want him back.

703
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: Lebron on the MAVs because Lebron and Luca I just

704
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 2: think would be an absolutely dominant offensive unit. And then

705
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: when you also have Kyrie as a shooter, they wouldn't

706
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: be a great defensive team. I understand that, but they

707
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: would be so overwhelming offensively. And I think Lebron would

708
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: play more of a traditional small forward role. It's Lebron

709
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 2: and Luke is so much healthier than Anthony Davis that

710
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: it just I Lebron on the MAVs to me, would

711
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: be better. Next. Okay, come Africa, Yeahfrica, I'm going.

712
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: Africa, asked Nick, does the series matchup remind you of

713
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 3: the Heat versus MAVs in twenty eleven with roles reversed.

714
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 2: No, Listen, it doesn't because there wasn't. I understand what

715
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 2: the question there is, and I understand why because it's like, well,

716
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 2: in this situation, the MAVs are the less talented team

717
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: with one star, and the Heat are the big favorites,

718
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 2: you know, but you flip it, so the MAVs are

719
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: the Heat, and the Heat are the Nuggets, if that

720
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 2: makes sense. No, because that series was not defined by

721
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 2: really anything other than Lebron James, the greatest player of

722
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 2: all time, having his only true professional failure. The moment

723
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 2: got too big for him and he short circuited. That's

724
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: all that was. That is not a duplicable model of

725
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 2: hey have this Apex predator, best player in the league,

726
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: short circuit in the NBA Finals. So no, I don't

727
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 2: think that would be in Jokichen Lebron. But if Jokic

728
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, had three of the

729
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 2: worst games of his career in a row to end

730
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: this series. But that's not gonna happen.

731
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 3: Next, producer Matt asked who wins more majors in the

732
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 3: next three years? Hey, Matt, this question is unfair because

733
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: I don't think.

734
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 2: Alaaz or Djokovic are the two names. I'll go Alcarez.

735
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 2: I think the I think he's the next guy up

736
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 2: in tennis, and I think he's winning this major. All right.

737
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: Next, Okay. Jackson Higknite asked serious question for doorra When

738
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 3: are you and Demants gonna unionize? Siblings of the world unite.

739
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to unionize. Ther is about to

740
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 2: leave us and she already has been better at negotiating

741
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 2: a salary than her brother ever was. But I do

742
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 2: think Demonse is gonna want a bit of a rais

743
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: and pay come football season again.

744
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have to match us.

745
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: Oh that's what he means by unionized. That's what he

746
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,439
Speaker 2: means that you two are going to negotiate together. Yeah, okay,

747
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 2: let's see the show solo.

748
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we'll see how your views go after.

749
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 2: Oh, how my views go. My views are dependent on

750
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 2: you mispronouncing names and questions.

751
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 3: I'm the beauty or the brain.

752
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a good show right there, one time good show.
