<v Speaker 2>Welcome Ma. In episode one fifty seven, What's Right with Nick? Right,

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>we appreciate you joining us. Right before we sat down

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 2>to record, there was massive breaking news in the golf world. Now,

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>while we do love of the Nick's Golf Corner segments

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>on this show, we have not really gotten into the

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>muddy waters of the Live Tour and the PGA Tour.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>And today it would appear our decision not to was

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>somewhat vindicated. It as and we'll just get into this

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 2>here and then we'll get into the actual show. And

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>we appreciate you watching on YouTube. We appreciate you listening

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 2>if you're watching on YouTube, submit your questions and comments.

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to them at the end of the show.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>The livetour and PGA tour have merged. All of the

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 2>details are not yet out that it has just happened

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>in the last twenty minutes that it has been announced.

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>But there are going to be some folks, Luckily I

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 2>am not one of them, be it golfers, golf commentators,

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 2>or sports commentators that have found themselves in a bit

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of a pickle because they were just adamant that they

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>would never, under any circumstances support anything associated with the

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Saudi government because of the murder of Jamal Kashagi, and

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I apologize if I'm pronouncing his name wrong, because of

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>obviously the connections to the terrorists on nine to eleven,

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>because of human rights abuses, and that was an understandable position,

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 2>totally understandable. But the reason we didn't take it on

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>this show was any of us that are involved in

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 2>any type of capitalistic enterprise. For a lot of us,

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I should say, you go high enough up the corporate

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 2>org char or food chain and you start dealing with

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>some uncomfortable realities. You start dealing with some of your

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 2>own hypocrisies, grab your iPhone and you're like, wait, who

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 2>made this? How does it work? You look at your sneakers. Now,

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>I understand there's different lines for everybody, and I don't

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>really want to relitigate it. We talked about this a

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>year ago, but we decided, you know what, We're just

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna stay out of it because the other possible train

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>coming down the tracks was the really rich golfers and

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 2>the really rich PGA tour that was standing on principle

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>and claiming the moral high ground that eventually they would fold.

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>And that appears to be what has happened. So for

0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>folks that were really into the live tour PGA tour

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>feud and Phil Mickelson and Brooks Kopka and Brandy Shambly,

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Brandal Shamblee seemed to get a lot of people mad

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>at him and what's Greg Norman doing and all of that.

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll just be totally honest. There are going to be better,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>more informed shows on that very story that I'm sure

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>you can find. We are gonna talk NBA finals, and

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk a little NFL. That is what we do.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>We also might squeeze in a little French open as

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>we might get a Djokovic alkradized semifinal, which would be

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>just spectacular. However, we first must get to what is

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>not on today's show. Not on today's show chiefs Ahlik,

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs fan who was allegedly robbing banks to pay

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 2>for his Chiefs tickets. He is on the most wanted

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>list that did not make show. Also Patrick Mahomes that

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I tried to fix the sign behind me, potentially being

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>the greatest multi sport athlete ever. That might be a

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>spit of a stretch, but we knew the guy was

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 2>an unbelievable baseball player. He is a great golfriend's greatest

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 2>football player ever that did not make the show. And

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs visit the White House that did not make

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 2>the show either. Travis Kell, Oh, there's me, you know,

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 2>I went in. There's me. I shaved my head then

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>grew all the hairback. I don't know why that's the

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 2>picture they used of me for the YouTube audience, but

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 2>that is an older picture of me, that's six and

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>a half years old. That's from our original First Things

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 2>First photoshoot the Chiefs visiting the White House. But Diora,

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>let's get to the NBA Finals. Quite the interesting Game

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>two we had. Why don't you set it up?

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 3>After Miami took Game two in Denver, your boy Mike

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Blone called out his team. He said the loss was

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 3>about a lack of effort from Denver. Was it truly

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 3>an effort problem or is Miami just better?

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm gonna go with neither. Miami is not flatly

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:11.840
<v Speaker 2>better than Denver, but they might very well be just

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 2>as good, and they are definitely better coached. And that

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 2>is not a knock on Mike Malone. That is just

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>a reality of you're up against the best coach in

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>basketball and Eric Spolstro I did not think this was

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>flatly a effort issue. I know Michael Malone called it

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>an effort issue, and I think no. I don't think

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 2>it was a skill issue either. I think it was

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 2>an execution issue. So there was When Michael Malone's talking

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>about effort, he's talking about Michael Porter Junior specifically, and

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Michael Porter Junior got lost on defense played Lackaday's ago.

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>It was a lot of what we were used to

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 2>seeing for Michael Porter Junior early in his career. That's fine,

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 2>so be it now? Is it smart? For Michael Malone

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to all out make it pretty clear he's talking about

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>one guy in his press conference. I don't know if

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>that's smarter or not, but it wasn't hard to figure

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>out who he was talking about because the other Nuggets

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 2>player who had a really rough game was KCP, but

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 2>that was because he was fouling three point shooters. That's

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 2>not a lack of effort. That is playing out of control.

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 2>That's almost trying too hard exactly. It's so the getting

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>lost on defense, you can say that's lack of focus

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and attention to detail. But at some point folks are

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>going to have to recognize this Miami Heat team is

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>just different. Chris Vernon had this stat on the mismatch

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>with Kevin O'Connor, so I want to give credit to

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>him because it's truly remarkable. This postseason, when trailing by

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>eight or more in the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 2>are four and seven, four wins, seven losses. Now, that

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>might not sound that good, and considering the fact that

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 2>they have only lost seven games the entirety of the postseason,

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 2>it means in all seven of those they were trailing

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>by at least eight in the fourth They're four and

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 2>seven these playoffs when trailing by eight or more the

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>rest of the league diora that has happened sixty two

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>times or sixty three times. Pardon me, what do you

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 2>think their record is? Every team other than the Heat

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>in games when they trail by eight or more in

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter of the sixty three games, how many wins?

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 2>How many losses? Obviously you're gonna lose way more than

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 2>you win because you're trailing by at least eight in

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter. Miami is four and seven. The rest

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 2>of the league is one and sixty two. Think about that,

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the rest? What are you laughing about? Because I let

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 2>you off the hook by not having you actually give

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 2>a number. Yeah, yeah, I saw that. I saw a

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>look of panic across your eyes. You were like, I'm

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna I have to do math on the fly to

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>make sure they add up to sixty three, and I

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>have to give a guess that makes sense. I realized

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>I was putting you. That was me being a bad team,

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and I was putting you in a bad spot. I apologize.

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw it, So I just turned it into a

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 2>rhetorical question. One in sixty two. So let's put it

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 2>a different way. There have been five playoff games this

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>year that a team trailed by eight or more in

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 2>the fourth and one. Four of them have been by Miami,

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>one by the other fifteen teams to make the playoffs.

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>This is a different team. You are fighting a different

0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>war than you're fighting with every other team in the league.

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 2>And no, they don't have the raw talent that the

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Lakers had, that the Bucks had, that the Celtics had,

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>that the Nuggets have. But they have unlocked a winning

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 2>formula in a way that no other team this playoffs

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 2>other than Denver has unlocked. And so I don't think

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>it was that Denver didn't try. I think it's that

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Miami never bleeping quits and keeps finding a way. Now,

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you also why I think that win

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:06.839
<v Speaker 2>was critical, piercing the balloon of invincibility of Denver, which

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>had not lost at home this postseason, had not lost

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>at home in a game Yokic's played since March twelfth,

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 2>nearly three months ago this year at home playoffs in

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>regular season, when they had at least a five point

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 2>lead going into the fourth quarter, they were unbeatable twenty

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 2>nine to zero. Psychologically, that does two things. One Miami

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 2>now knows unequivocally we can go in there and win.

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 2>And two the Nuggets know, oh, this is a different

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:52.959
<v Speaker 2>type of challenge because the Lakers never really threatened us

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>in this building. The Sun's never threatened us in this building, obviously,

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the Timbrels never threatened us in this building. The Heat,

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>without their best player playing that well, without their second

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>leading score from the conference finals, Caleb Martin, doing anything,

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>they found a way to come back from fifteen down

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and beat us. And aside from the Caleb Martin minutes,

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>there was I'm sorry, aside from the Cody Zeller minutes,

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I almost got that wrong, the Heat dominated that game.

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>So this is going to be a great finals. I

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 2>understand after Game one everyone was talking sweep and that

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the Miami's Cinderella carriage is turned back into a pumpkin

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and all that reactionary nonsense. The Heat have earned everyone's

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>unquestioned respect. It is now a best of five series

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and Miami has home court. Since Jimmy Butler got to Miami,

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 2>no team in the league has more playoff victories. Since

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Butler got to Miami. No team in the league

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 2>has been to the finals more than once other than Miami.

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Since Jimmy Butler got to Miami, no team has had

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the postseason success overall of the Miami Heat. If they

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.839
<v Speaker 2>can finish the job and win these next three games,

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>or win three of the next five games, all right

0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 2>next to you are.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 3>So the Heat are now in control of the finals

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 3>and are about to get Tyler herro back, but Vegas

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.680
<v Speaker 3>still has them as home dogs. Are you hammering the

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Heat in Game three?

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. I bet the Heat for a real amount

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>of money on the money line in Game seven against Boston,

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Game one against Denver, and Game two against Denver. All

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>of those bets were better than three to one, better

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 2>than plus three hundred. I obviously went two and one

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>because they lost Game one. I don't I like the

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Heat in this spot. I might bet a little bit

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>on them, but I am not dead on certain that

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna win both of these games in Miami. I

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 2>think they could. I do think the line is disrespectful.

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I think the fact that how far back do we

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 2>have to go till the last from the last time

0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 2>we had a home underdog in the NBA Finals. It's

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 2>gotta be Lebron's cabs in twenty eighteen against the uh

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 2>against the Katie Warriors. I guess maybe the Raptors in

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the game Katie popped his achilles because they knew Katie

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>was coming back that game. But it's been years, so yeah,

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>I do think it's a disrespectful line, and I'll probably

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 2>bet a little on Miami. But I hammered Miami in

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 2>game seven, game one, in game two because they were

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>getting better than three to one, and that was outrageous.

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>This is Vegas places saying this is not quite a

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>coin flip game, but a sixty to forty game. Now,

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it should be sixty forty in Miami's favor.

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think this is a mismatch. I don't

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 2>think this is lopsided. I don't think Denver is a

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 2>fraudulent team. That would be ridiculous. I just think the

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 2>betting public's lack of regard for the Miami Heat is bananas.

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 3>Next, Okay, Yokic dropped another forty point game and a loss.

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 3>They never win when he scores a ton of points,

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 3>so I see why you are coming around on Jokic.

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.120
<v Speaker 3>He's like Lebron where he could only win when his

0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 3>teammates hit the big shots.

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've always said it's very unfair that Lebron's teammates

0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 2>are allowed to make shots. It's so it's such a

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 2>dumb take, and that's not done by you. I understand

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the producers right the questions, but the idea that Lebron James,

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 2>who has more playoff buzzer beats and more playoff game

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 2>winners than any player in NBA history, that he can

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>only win when his teammates hit shots is just such

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 2>a such a straw man nonsense that they knew would

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 2>get me angry. By the way, where's a hey, show

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the control room again real quick, if you could please,

0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 2>cuz I do remember something from the last time we

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:07.119
<v Speaker 2>saw you. Guys. Hey, Daniel, where's your broom? Buddy, where's

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 2>your broom? Oh? Yeah, that doesn't Yeah, I know, don't

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>put it down cause you know I've been talking behind

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the scenes. Gabe thought I was being a little harsh

0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:23.400
<v Speaker 2>saying that your job's on the line in these finals.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Daniel the Nuggets fan who trolled me in the group jets,

0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 2>and Gabe said we can't do that. So I just

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 2>guy said, you know what, instead of you know, threatening

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>the employment. Let's just add to the responsibilities. And since

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:42.119
<v Speaker 2>the guy seems to like brooms so much, I figure

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.000
<v Speaker 2>when everyone goes home for the day, you can sweep

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:51.159
<v Speaker 2>up after the team. You can help everybody out. Waving

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.880
<v Speaker 2>that broom in my face going into the finals, thinking

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the Denver Nuggets were gonna become the first team and

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.879
<v Speaker 2>mby That was the other insane thing about the commentary.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 2>And then we'll get to the Jokic question. Sorry about

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the commentary all across media on Friday about a sweep.

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 2>No team in NBA history has ever swept the final

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 2>two rounds of the playoffs. No team ever has gone

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 2>conference finals finals sweep. And yet folks were ready to

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>just start handing over the lob to the Denver Nuggets. Insane.

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>It was gonna be a quick series. Not gonna be

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 2>a quick series. All right, what's the Jokic question?

0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 3>What does it say about him that Miami would rather

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 3>take their chances letting him score.

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't even says anything about him. I think it's actually,

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.520
<v Speaker 2>well it does. I think it's a compliment to him

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>because here's there are so many downstream effects from everyone

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:59.160
<v Speaker 2>being involved. First of all, you play more confident and

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 2>locked in an attention to detail defensively when you are

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 2>making shots. So Michael Porter Junior's defense would have been

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 2>more attentive. I think kcp's defense would have been less

0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 2>frenetic if they had been hitting shots, but they weren't,

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and that affects different players in different ways. And because

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 2>of that, Jokich's passing is the thing that unlocks Denver's

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>offense to next level production. I I had this tweet.

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Your mom is so funny. By the way, Sorry, I'll

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>finish the thought. Come on, your mom just texts me, Hey,

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 2>what's the address to that plant spot? Crying emoji? Sorry,

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I know you're doing your show and stuff. Well, she's

0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 2>the best. Uh. I had this. I tweeted out this

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 2>stat and I understand that Eric Spolstra attempted to tamp

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 2>down on this talk, but I think it's very relevant.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 2>The Denver Nuggets this year in the regular season, when

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Yokich had double digit assists, we're thirty four and four.

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>When he didn't, they were fourteen and seventeen. So when

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>jo Kich has ten plus assists, they are a seventy

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:42.399
<v Speaker 2>two win. Seventy two win caliber team would be as

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>good as any team in NBA history. When he doesn't,

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 2>they're a losing team. And we have seen. I brought

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 2>this up before the series. I said this would be

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.679
<v Speaker 2>that should be the strategy. O five Western Conference Finals

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Spur Sons, Amari Stodemeyer averaged thirty seven a game that series.

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Popovich was just like, you know what, we're not doubling him.

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.720
<v Speaker 2>We are if he scores. For now. He was a

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>very different player, obviously a very different player than Jokic,

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 2>demonstrably different. But the point was let him go crazy.

0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Don't let Joe Johnson and Sean Marion and the other shooters,

0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Sean mariwin really a shooter kind of turned into one

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 2>don't let them go off, and it worked. They won

0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 2>in five. There are this is a sound strategy because

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna take around one point fifteen to win these games.

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:56.239
<v Speaker 2>If Jokic is quote only unquote creating fifty points, you

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>can live with that, you really can. What you can

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 2>live with is when he's creating, scoring and assisting sixty

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 2>sixty five points like he did in Game one, that's

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:14.879
<v Speaker 2>what kills you. So I do think this is a

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.879
<v Speaker 2>sound strategy. Do you have a follow up there to.

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Your Yeah, is he the only player in the in

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.880
<v Speaker 3>NBA history whose kryptonite is scoring forty points a game?

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's not that it's his kryptonite. I know they're

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>ozer and three. This post is when he scores forty plus.

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 2>But there is a level of other great playmakers. Isaiah

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.479
<v Speaker 2>Thomas was at his best, he could score forty. He

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 2>was at his best when he was twenty and ten.

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Steve Nash similarly magic. He could score big numbers, but

0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 2>not with regularity. He had to be passing great playmakers

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and distributors. That is what their secret sauces, and it

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.360
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be shot. So Isaiah, to me, is a good

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 2>example because Isaiah was just best. The Pistons were best

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 2>when he was getting everyone involved. Famously, they lost the

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>forty three point finals game when he had twenty five

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>in a quarter. They lost. I mean they only lost

0:23:23.960 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 2>by a couple, but they lost. He just so, this

0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 2>is not something we've never seen before. We've just never

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:33.280
<v Speaker 2>seen it from a center.

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Next, Kyrie has apparently reached out to Lebron to see

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:40.679
<v Speaker 3>if he would come to Dallas. Luca on Lebron together

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 3>would make your head explode. If Kyrie really just wants

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.040
<v Speaker 3>to get back together with Lebron, was this the best

0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 3>way to go about it?

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 2>All? Right? So this is more complicated story than people

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 2>are giving it credit for. It's also very simple. The

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 2>simple part is this, there is no way for the

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Dallas Mavericks to acquire Kyrie Irving. I'm sorry, Lebron James

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 2>this off season. It doesn't It's not gonna happen. There's

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 2>no trade that makes sense for the Lakers. He's not

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 2>getting bought out. That's not happening. So why is this

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:14.639
<v Speaker 2>story out there now? I do think Kyrie wants to

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 2>play with Lebron, and Bill Simmons mentioned Lebron trying to

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 2>angle to get to Dallas, but that is, in my opinion,

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>only tenable after this coming season, when Lebron's a free

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 2>agent and he can go anywhere he wants. Simmons talked

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>about Draymond going down there and then Lebron going down

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:41.960
<v Speaker 2>there eventually. I think this is Kyrie wants the MAVs

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 2>to give him the Max.

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I also think Kyrie ideally would love to find a

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 2>way for the Lakers for him to play with the

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Lakers and to get the Max I don't see how

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:58.160
<v Speaker 2>that is feasible because the MAVs are not gonna want

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 2>D'Angelo Russell and as signing, this is not gonna happen.

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:06.199
<v Speaker 2>So what I think Kyrie is sick of giving up

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 2>money and he wants the max. He understands this might

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>be his last big contract. But I think this is

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie trying to engender goodwill from Dallas. Making it cleary

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>is two things. One is Kyrie trying to engender goodwill

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 2>from Dallas, like, look, guys, I'm recruiting for you, I'm

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to help this situation as much as I possibly can,

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and then also making it clear to Lebron, I still

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 2>want to play with you. If you can somehow find

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 2>a way to get me over to the Lakers, that

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 2>would be great too. But Lebron, Luca and Kyrie in

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Dallas this season is not a possibility, no matter who

0:25:56.520 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 2>what's being reported. That's the twenty minutes on the Die eight.

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:03.080

<v Speaker 2>Are you right? I don't know. You said you wanted

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to bring us back. Let's host. That's the most important

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 2>thing to get the episode count right.

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 3>I think I got it?

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good job. What are we doing here?

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 3>We're playing a game of right or wrong?

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's do it.

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:03.919
<v Speaker 3>So. NBA Commissioner Adam sover Su suggested NBA expansion is coming.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Vegas has long been rumored as a home for an

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.480
<v Speaker 3>NBA team, and soon there'll be a four sports city.

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Right or wrong, Vegas will be the best sports town

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 3>in America.

0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh wrong by a mile. Now, it will be awesome

0:27:19.359 --> 0:27:23.520
<v Speaker 2>to have four teams in Vegas. So who is the

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.919
<v Speaker 2>current Well, I'll get that, and let me get that

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:28.800
<v Speaker 2>in a second. Let me first explain why Vegas won't

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:40.719
<v Speaker 2>be number of things very difficult for warm weather places

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:46.360
<v Speaker 2>with awesome things to do, being the best sports town.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 2>So why is La not a great sports town because

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:57.680
<v Speaker 2>of the beach in the mountains. That's why, because there

0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:05.439
<v Speaker 2>are so many other entertainment options. And another problem is

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:13.199
<v Speaker 2>cities that are disproportionately transplants don't have like the lifelong

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 2>fan loyalty we lived in Houston. Houston not a good

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 2>sports town. Sorry, I know people in Uston might get

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:25.120
<v Speaker 2>mad at me. Good football town, Okay, baseball town, bad

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 2>basketball town, not a great sports town. Miami not a

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:33.119
<v Speaker 2>great sports town. Doesn't mean there aren't great fans, but

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 2>is it the lifeblood of the city. No, Vegas wildly

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>disproportionate amount of transplants. It will be tourists, fans of

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 2>opposing teams at a lot of these games, like, oh,

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 2>what road trips are we going? Let's go to Vegas

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 2>see our team play hit the strip, all that stuff.

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 2>So no, those are not your best sports towns. Your

0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 2>best sports towns are either small markets like Buffalo or

0:29:05.240 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City where the entirety of the green Bay. The

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 2>entirety of the town's identity is built up in having

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a pro sports team. I used to say this all

0:29:18.320 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the time about my hometown. I probably said it on

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the podcast. The only difference between Kansas City and Des

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Moines is we have the Chiefs and the Royals and

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 2>they don't like. That's it the reason when I say

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm from Kansas City, they were like, oh, I know

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 2>that place. It's because we have the Chiefs and Royals.

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that Kansas City is markedly bigger than,

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 2>like I said, Des Moines or Lincoln, Omaha, Nebraska. Omah

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 2>is a great example. Like what does Omaha have is

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Warren Buffett? There? College World Series is there? I don't know?

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Like so and the very best sports cities are cold

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 2>weather northeastern, angry places just are where the people's entire

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:16.640
<v Speaker 2>identity is wrapped in the sports team. There is not

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot to do because the weather sucks so much.

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.440
<v Speaker 2>And what it is is you go to a game.

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 2>So Detroit's not northeastern. It to great sports city Chicago,

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>there is a lot to do. It's a very good

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:39.720
<v Speaker 2>sports city. But Boston and Philly and probably third place

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 2>New York are your best sports cities now, it also

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 2>creates the craziest fans and the most irrational ones, but

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 2>nicer weather, more entertainment options. Is is that not New York?

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Though? Well, New York's you no matter what the weather,

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 3>you could still be outside.

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 2>So neat New York's unique in New York's a pretty

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 2>damn good sports city despite all of the other options,

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:21.480
<v Speaker 2>because there are so many people that you you know

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:24.040
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, you just have so many Now you

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 2>might say, what about Los Angeles?

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Then?

0:31:26.480 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Has that many people? Los Angeles had so many transplants.

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Sports are not the biggest entertainment option because of Hollywood

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>and the beach really takes away like there is it

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 2>is sure exactly there is not a single what I

0:31:47.520 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 2>would consider great American sports city that also has an

0:31:53.840 --> 0:32:00.680
<v Speaker 2>awesome beach. I just Tampa's not a great one. Uh Miami.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Houston doesn't have an awesome beach, but it does have

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 2>a beach.

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Who's going to Galveston a lot? I understand who's gonna

0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 3>put Galveston with good?

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But La San Diego, San Francisco coastal places is not

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 2>great sports cities As far as where the NBA should

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 2>expand to Vegas and Seattle make the most sense. I

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 2>know people want me to say Kansas City.

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 3>You don't think Kansas City should have a basketball team.

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I would love it. Uh, Kansas City is a college

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:45.120
<v Speaker 2>sports city for basketball. It's Jayhawks fans. We had one,

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 2>we lost it.

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 3>What team was that?

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 2>The Kansaity Kings. They went to Sacramento, AH. So I

0:32:54.720 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 2>people say Virginia Beach should have one. I guess that's

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.760
<v Speaker 2>a huge city that I just am not familiar with.

0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 2>If you wanted to put one in the Midwest, Kansas

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 2>City would be the place. You have Oklahoma City, you

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 2>have Denver, you have Chicago. Kansas City wouldn't make sense.

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think you need to expand by four teams.

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I think expanding by two and doing Seattle and Vegas

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 2>probably makes the most sense. I also think that I'm

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to if I'm trying to think if there's another city,

0:33:35.560 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 2>another kind of area of the country that needs a team.

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you can't do anywhere in what's called the

0:33:42.800 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Big West, like Idaho, Montana, the Dakota's Wyoming. You just

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:51.600
<v Speaker 2>can't have a minute. You can't. It's a crime that

0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 2>those five states have ten senators. Give me a break.

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like eighty five people live there. Sorry for the

0:33:56.160 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>people watching the show, but it's not really one person,

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 2>one vote. When his state with four hundred thousand the

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:05.800
<v Speaker 2>real states, but the founders didn't expect one state to

0:34:05.800 --> 0:34:08.080
<v Speaker 2>have four hundred thousand people another to have forty million.

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 2>You have the same number of senators. Give me a break.

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:10.720
<v Speaker 2>All right? Next?

0:34:11.719 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 3>All right? The Celtics keep their keep their embattled coach

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 3>head coach Joe Missoula next year. Right or wrong? Boston

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 3>is smart for keeping Mozilla.

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 2>You're right? No? I like, yeah, you want to know

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:32.359
<v Speaker 2>how that questions will sound? No, I am keeping their

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:35.720
<v Speaker 2>battle head coach Joe Missoula next year, right or wrong?

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Boston is smart for keeping.

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:39.919
<v Speaker 3>I'm aware how it was supposed to be read.

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I think are how it was read. Yes, the Celtics

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:49.879
<v Speaker 2>keeping their battle head coach for me, Joe Masila next

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:54.359
<v Speaker 2>year right a wrong? Misua wrong. I understand why they're

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:56.040
<v Speaker 2>doing it, but I think it's a mistake. I think

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:59.040
<v Speaker 2>they know it's a mistake. The problem is when you

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>are the person that hired the guy, you don't want

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:04.320
<v Speaker 2>to have to fire him because you are then admitting

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 2>you screwed up. And it's not that Brad Stevens made

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Missoula the head coach. It's that twenty five games in

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 2>he gave him a contract extension that he didn't have

0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:16.000
<v Speaker 2>to give him. So when you do that, does Brad

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Stevens then want to go to his bosses, the grouse

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Beck and the owners and be like, Hey, you guys

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 2>got to cut a check for fifteen to twenty million

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 2>bucks for this contract extension that we got to pay

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 2>out that I shouldn't have given him. And so they're

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:34.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna try to keep Jalen Brown. I assume they are

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.600
<v Speaker 2>keeping Joe Missoula, and I think it's a mistake.

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Next, Okay, Russell Wilson was reportedly reportedly set to be

0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 3>traded to Philadelphia before he nixed the trade in favor

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:47.960
<v Speaker 3>of a move to Denver. Right or wrong, Philly, Russ

0:35:48.600 --> 0:35:50.880
<v Speaker 3>would have beaten the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:55.160
<v Speaker 2>They wouldn't have been in the Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts

0:35:55.239 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 2>was awesome last year. The idea that Russell Wilson Philly,

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>they would have been as good as with Jalen Hurts.

0:36:04.000 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not the biggest Jalen Hurts guy in the world.

0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 2>But the idea that they would have sniffed the Super

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Bowl if they lost Jalen in place of Russell Wilson.

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Talk about a sliding doors NFL moment. Jalen Hurts has

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:23.399
<v Speaker 2>got a quarter of a billion dollar contract. Damn near one.

0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:26.839
<v Speaker 2>NFL VP took him to the Super Bowl. They were

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:31.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna relegate him to second string in favor of Russell Wilson,

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:34.239
<v Speaker 2>and Russell Wilson threw his body in front of the

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:38.719
<v Speaker 2>car wanting to come to Mahomes's division instead. Bananas but

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:39.760
<v Speaker 2>obviously wrong.

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:43.879
<v Speaker 3>Next, Dalvin Cook trade rumors are swirling, and Ezekiel Ella

0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 3>is still unsigned. These are huge name guys, but no

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:50.439
<v Speaker 3>one wants to spend on running backs anymore. Right or wrong,

0:36:50.520 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 3>The NFL has a running back problem.

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Wrong, I don't think it's a problem. Sports change man

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and Zeke is a huge name, but he's not a

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 2>very good player anymore. Dalvin Cook's a good player to

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 2>a very good player, but expensive player to spot. People

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:08.400
<v Speaker 2>don't want to spend money guys. Things change. There's the

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and there's no shit problem with that. There used to

0:37:12.719 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 2>be a market in the NBA for what we call

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 2>the big white stiff, the seven footer that couldn't move

0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and could give you six fouls a game and post up.

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Those guys are now unemployed. These sports change, media changes,

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the world changes. There are things that used to want

0:37:32.080 --> 0:37:35.880
<v Speaker 2>to be valuable that no longer are. And the running

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:42.160
<v Speaker 2>back position is right now in a spot where you

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 2>can find eighty percent of top level production for ten

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:49.080
<v Speaker 2>percent of the cost. So why would you not just

0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 2>go with that nearly every time?

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Next Jaguar, Yeah, okay, go ahead, you've got to stop.

0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, I listened. I expect excellence. Who are on one

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:03.279
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty seven episodes in people are expecting it

0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to be nice and tight.

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, Jaguars coach Doug Peterson said. Trevor Lawrence showed

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 3>that he can put the team on his back last

0:38:10.560 --> 0:38:13.439
<v Speaker 3>season and expects more of him this year. Right or wrong,

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Trevor Lawrence will be the twenty twenty four MVP.

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I think. I mean, if I right now you're asking me,

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:22.200
<v Speaker 2>well I picked Trevor to win MVP, I might, But

0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say wrong right now because I don't want

0:38:25.120 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 2>to be locked into the prediction. It's on the board

0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:34.920
<v Speaker 2>and people are not giving the Jaguars the respect they

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 2>earned last year. They were six and one after the bye.

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:42.240
<v Speaker 2>They had a twenty seven point comeback in a playoff

0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:46.399
<v Speaker 2>game against the Chargers, a good team, and then they

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:51.239
<v Speaker 2>played the Chiefs within a score they I said this

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:55.480
<v Speaker 2>on TV yesterday and people lost their minds. Maybe this

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 2>is why I'm trending on Twitter right now my Trevor

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence Bills take. I'm sure that's the reason. Uh. Last year,

0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:10.399
<v Speaker 2>what did the Bills accomplished more than the Jaguars. They

0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 2>both won their division, they both won a playoff game.

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's think about those playoff games. The Jags beat the Chargers,

0:39:17.719 --> 0:39:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the Bills escaped against Skuyler Thompson. They both lost in

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Round two. The Jags lost on the road in Kansas

0:39:27.760 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 2>City by seven. The Bills lost at home to Cincinnati

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:39.839
<v Speaker 2>by seventeen. The Jags quarterback is on an upward, upward trajectory.

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 2>The Bills quarterback finished the last ten games of last

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:48.840
<v Speaker 2>year with some of his roughest football of his careers,

0:39:49.000 --> 0:39:52.319
<v Speaker 2>of his last four years of his career. So I

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know about him being the league MVP, but the

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Jags deserve more respect than they're getting.

0:39:57.840 --> 0:40:02.879
<v Speaker 3>Next announced that Vision Pro a new VR headset. Right

0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 3>or wrong, you are in on VR.

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:11.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm not in on VR until they listen. People don't

0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 2>want to put on goggles.

0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Now I did, a lot of people want to put

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 3>on goggles. Actually, what do you mean. I mean a

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.719
<v Speaker 3>lot of people enjoyed the virtual reality stuff like you

0:40:20.760 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 3>can like you can play games, you could go to

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:28.400
<v Speaker 3>the mall, like the okay watch games.

0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 2>So now I did read that someone that wore these

0:40:36.040 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 2>and it gives you the full blown NBA court side experience.

0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty cool.

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:50.400
<v Speaker 2>That could be cool. But I don't think virtual reality

0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 2>or any of this augmented reality because this this isn't

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:58.000
<v Speaker 2>like a typical VR headset the way I understand it.

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:01.920
<v Speaker 2>It's you put on this headset and then like your

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:04.440
<v Speaker 2>phone screen is in front of you and could swipe

0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 2>with your hand, and like it moves based on where

0:41:06.680 --> 0:41:08.920
<v Speaker 2>your eyes are, and you can do all that without

0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:09.879
<v Speaker 2>your phone in your hand.

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.480
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot of VR headsets too.

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:15.479
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, I think I get that. But I think that.

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:19.440
<v Speaker 3>I, oh, yeah, because it's Apple, It's gonna.

0:41:19.480 --> 0:41:21.759
<v Speaker 2>It's exactly, and I think this is a more I

0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 2>mean it's thirty five hundred dollars compared to the other ones,

0:41:24.680 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 2>so I think this is a more refined tech. The

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:34.720
<v Speaker 2>point I'm making is some there might be a niche,

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 2>a niche market of people that are willing to walk

0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:44.000
<v Speaker 2>around wearing this. It is not going but just like

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:46.719
<v Speaker 2>people like oh, three D TVs and it's like, I

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:51.920
<v Speaker 2>gotta wear these stupid glasses. No, and then the oculus,

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.760
<v Speaker 2>there was a there was a market for it, but again,

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 2>people don't like wearing not enough, in my opinion, people

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like wearing that big stuff on their face. And I

0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 2>know the Apple one it's clear, so you could theoretically

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 2>just walk the streets with it on. I don't think

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 2>people are gonna do it. I think eventually when it

0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 2>becomes either an implant or like a lens or something

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:22.920
<v Speaker 2>very small that is an augment to like glasses that

0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:27.880
<v Speaker 2>you already wear, then it will take off. But people

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 2>don't like walking around wearing what looks like ski goggles. Again.

0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 2>This maybe this will end up being something like when

0:42:36.719 --> 0:42:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Katie Kirk and Matt Lower were laughing about the Internet

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:42.319
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, oh, the Internet, who's gonna use that?

0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:45.440
<v Speaker 2>And now they look stupid if in twenty years or

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:48.560
<v Speaker 2>in two years, I should say everyone's walking around wearing

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:50.920
<v Speaker 2>these headsets. I don't think people are gonna do it,

0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:53.399
<v Speaker 2>do you. I just don't think people are.

0:42:53.280 --> 0:42:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Gonna think like maybe like the head Inmplant thing, I

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:57.720
<v Speaker 3>could completely see happening.

0:42:57.760 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 2>I think that could happen, maybe.

0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Just because I've watched him episodes about Black Mirror.

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you know they're coming out with a new season

0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:07.320
<v Speaker 2>really of Black Mirror. Yeah, five episodes. I think. I

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I just I And again, putting on an Oculus to

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 2>play video games at home is very different than what

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:20.920
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to market for here because I get that.

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:22.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like, I'm gonna sit down here and play a

0:43:23.040 --> 0:43:25.920
<v Speaker 2>video game by myself. What does it really matter if

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:28.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm wearing this headsetter? You know what I mean? Headset

0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:31.359
<v Speaker 2>or not? You sometimes when you play Fortnite or Brother

0:43:31.400 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Place Fortnite, you put on pretty bulky headphones anyway with

0:43:34.719 --> 0:43:37.920
<v Speaker 2>a mic like. I get that. But the idea that

0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:41.440
<v Speaker 2>these are I think, and I might be wrong. Apple

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:45.840
<v Speaker 2>wants these to be like AirPods, like people just walk

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:50.399
<v Speaker 2>around with them. I don't think that's realistic. And let

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 2>me ask you this how long until you think you

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 2>start somewhat regularly seeing people on the streets of New

0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 2>York City walking around with these with the months few months. Yeah,

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, thirty five hundred dollars is a hell of

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:03.880
<v Speaker 2>a price.

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:06.799
<v Speaker 3>But for the rich people in New York City, like

0:44:07.360 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 3>that was like how I was how people saw the

0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:14.360
<v Speaker 3>other six hundred dollars headphones at first. And I know

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 3>it's a totally different price difference, but when that first

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:20.640
<v Speaker 3>came out, everyone's like, I'm not paying six hundred dollars

0:44:20.640 --> 0:44:25.880
<v Speaker 3>for Yes, I am, Okay, they were a gift. They

0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:30.120
<v Speaker 3>were they were a gift. You don't know. But I'm saying,

0:44:30.120 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 3>like people thought that was insane.

0:44:31.680 --> 0:44:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but the thing is you didn't look ridiculous. People

0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:39.640
<v Speaker 2>have walked around wearing headphones for a long time, I think.

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:44.719
<v Speaker 3>But New York City is a totally differenttographic fashion and

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:48.399
<v Speaker 3>for different like the fashion New York is different than

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 3>everywhere else.

0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:49.719
<v Speaker 2>No, that's fair.

0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:52.160
<v Speaker 3>People in New York don't care about walking around looking

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:54.760
<v Speaker 3>a fool because no, it matches my outfit, it.

0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Looks Okay, I mean, listen, I could be wrong on this,

0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:01.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll see. I'm just I am. I didn't buy land

0:45:01.920 --> 0:45:07.280
<v Speaker 2>in the metaverse, I didn't. I only very very lightly

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:13.480
<v Speaker 2>dipped my toe into crypto and I don't. And I

0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:16.760
<v Speaker 2>am not as panicked as everyone else is about AI.

0:45:18.480 --> 0:45:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I am. I am still going to short that we

0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:27.960
<v Speaker 2>are where where the tech needs to get for virtual

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:33.880
<v Speaker 2>reality to become a major part of our lives. I

0:45:33.880 --> 0:45:35.920
<v Speaker 2>think it will get there eventually. I don't think we're

0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 2>there yet.

0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:39.440
<v Speaker 3>All Right, last one, this last one, So maybe you

0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:42.000
<v Speaker 3>should pronounce this one. But right or wrong, you should

0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:42.880
<v Speaker 3>stop trolling me.

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Right or wrong? You should be better at your job.

0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Quick break right back? What's right?

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:59.359
<v Speaker 3>I quit? Welcome back Episode one. Now we're going to

0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 3>read your fan questions. Scott Fraser says, So is this

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:04.879
<v Speaker 3>a Bengal shirt you're wearing?

0:46:05.000 --> 0:46:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Nick oh No, I understand why you'd think that it

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:09.800
<v Speaker 2>is a Tiger on it, But it's a Kenzo shirt,

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 2>not a Bengals. It has no team affiliation, just high fashion,

0:46:14.120 --> 0:46:14.960
<v Speaker 2>that's all it is.

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Next, it's you cool guy. Ben Whitney asked, if Miami

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 3>loses the series in five or six games, what moves

0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:27.239
<v Speaker 3>do they make in this offseason to get back and

0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:31.439
<v Speaker 3>finally break through after a second Finals loss of the

0:46:31.760 --> 0:46:32.799
<v Speaker 3>Jimmy bam era.

0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:37.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they do anything major. I think you

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:41.839
<v Speaker 2>clearly have a core that is good enough. I think

0:46:41.920 --> 0:46:45.640
<v Speaker 2>that you expect continued growth from Caleb Martin. You have

0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:50.360
<v Speaker 2>decisions to make on Struce and Vincent, and because you're Miami,

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you're always going to be big, you know, whales shopping

0:46:55.719 --> 0:46:58.760
<v Speaker 2>as pat Riley talks about, and going after the biggest

0:46:58.800 --> 0:47:03.160
<v Speaker 2>fish possible. But I don't think you do any massive

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:06.839
<v Speaker 2>overhaul because unless you think we're just not good enough.

0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:08.560
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think they're gonna feel like we're just

0:47:08.600 --> 0:47:09.280
<v Speaker 2>not good enough.

0:47:09.320 --> 0:47:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Next, Michael Harris asked which team would be better if

0:47:13.320 --> 0:47:16.360
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the roster remained the same. Lebron and

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:20.919
<v Speaker 3>the MAVs are Kyrie on the Lakers. Kyrie just needs

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:22.040
<v Speaker 3>to come back to the Nets.

0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's not happening, and they don't want him back.

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Lebron on the MAVs because Lebron and Luca I just

0:47:36.880 --> 0:47:43.000
<v Speaker 2>think would be an absolutely dominant offensive unit. And then

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:47.520
<v Speaker 2>when you also have Kyrie as a shooter, they wouldn't

0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:50.440
<v Speaker 2>be a great defensive team. I understand that, but they

0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:55.080
<v Speaker 2>would be so overwhelming offensively. And I think Lebron would

0:47:55.120 --> 0:47:58.800
<v Speaker 2>play more of a traditional small forward role. It's Lebron

0:47:59.080 --> 0:48:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and Luke is so much healthier than Anthony Davis that

0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:07.600
<v Speaker 2>it just I Lebron on the MAVs to me, would

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:14.600
<v Speaker 2>be better. Next. Okay, come Africa, Yeahfrica, I'm going.

0:48:14.520 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Africa, asked Nick, does the series matchup remind you of

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:21.720
<v Speaker 3>the Heat versus MAVs in twenty eleven with roles reversed.

0:48:22.520 --> 0:48:27.920
<v Speaker 2>No, Listen, it doesn't because there wasn't. I understand what

0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the question there is, and I understand why because it's like, well,

0:48:36.200 --> 0:48:40.399
<v Speaker 2>in this situation, the MAVs are the less talented team

0:48:40.480 --> 0:48:43.880
<v Speaker 2>with one star, and the Heat are the big favorites,

0:48:44.600 --> 0:48:46.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, but you flip it, so the MAVs are

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the Heat, and the Heat are the Nuggets, if that

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:54.960
<v Speaker 2>makes sense. No, because that series was not defined by

0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:57.880
<v Speaker 2>really anything other than Lebron James, the greatest player of

0:48:57.920 --> 0:49:03.680
<v Speaker 2>all time, having his only true professional failure. The moment

0:49:03.760 --> 0:49:06.399
<v Speaker 2>got too big for him and he short circuited. That's

0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:09.920
<v Speaker 2>all that was. That is not a duplicable model of

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:14.680
<v Speaker 2>hey have this Apex predator, best player in the league,

0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:18.719
<v Speaker 2>short circuit in the NBA Finals. So no, I don't

0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:22.760
<v Speaker 2>think that would be in Jokichen Lebron. But if Jokic

0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:26.359
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, you know, had three of the

0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:29.480
<v Speaker 2>worst games of his career in a row to end

0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 2>this series. But that's not gonna happen.

0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Next, producer Matt asked who wins more majors in the

0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:39.040
<v Speaker 3>next three years? Hey, Matt, this question is unfair because

0:49:39.040 --> 0:49:39.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think.

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Alaaz or Djokovic are the two names. I'll go Alcarez.

0:49:43.840 --> 0:49:46.439
<v Speaker 2>I think the I think he's the next guy up

0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:49.160
<v Speaker 2>in tennis, and I think he's winning this major. All right.

0:49:49.239 --> 0:49:54.799
<v Speaker 3>Next, Okay. Jackson Higknite asked serious question for doorra When

0:49:54.840 --> 0:49:58.200
<v Speaker 3>are you and Demants gonna unionize? Siblings of the world unite.

0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not going to unionize. Ther is about to

0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:08.279
<v Speaker 2>leave us and she already has been better at negotiating

0:50:08.280 --> 0:50:13.040
<v Speaker 2>a salary than her brother ever was. But I do

0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:16.239
<v Speaker 2>think Demonse is gonna want a bit of a rais

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:18.640
<v Speaker 2>and pay come football season again.

0:50:18.840 --> 0:50:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I think you're gonna have to match us.

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's what he means by unionized. That's what he

0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:26.439
<v Speaker 2>means that you two are going to negotiate together. Yeah, okay,

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 2>let's see the show solo.

0:50:28.360 --> 0:50:30.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, we'll see how your views go after.

0:50:30.400 --> 0:50:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh, how my views go. My views are dependent on

0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:36.839
<v Speaker 2>you mispronouncing names and questions.

0:50:37.239 --> 0:50:38.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm the beauty or the brain.

0:50:39.120 --> 0:50:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there's a good show right there, one time good show.

0:50:45.160 --> 0:50:48.200
