20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: to do today and Today's gonna be a fast show

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: we got. I am rapped with anticipation for Lakers Warriors

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: Game two tonight, even though my guess is it will

23
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: go the Warriors way. We will explain that we have

24
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: a fun game to play later in the show. Diora

25
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: has been testing out she does an amazing British accent.

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: She was just a wondering whether or not she should

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: do that on today's show. We're gonna save that for

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: a later episode. We also have a personal call to

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: action that we haven't done on What's Right before that

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: we will do later in the show. But first, here's

31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: what missed. Jordan Love signing an extension with the Packers,

32
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: but not really. They're in instead of picking up his

33
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: fifty year option, they are doing the equivalent for a

34
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: little less money than the fifth year option would have

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: been to a good financial move for them. I'm not

36
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: sure exactly why I Love and his representation accepted it,

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: but so be it. Lebron, those scally wags at Chase Center.

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: I feel like they can't use that one again.

39
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: Why do you know the genesis of its? Yeah, like

40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: where it's from the etymology of.

41
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: The war pirates.

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: I don't think it's from pirates.

43
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: I think it's from pirates.

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: I actually think it's from the Civil War.

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 4: But they were calling people scag.

46
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. So the current definition of scaley

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: wag is a person who behaves badly but in an

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: amusingly mischievous way, or a rascal. The etymology is it

49
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: was a white Southerner who collaborated with Northern Republicans during

50
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: reconstruction off for personal property. You say this is gonna

51
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: be a fast show, en, I was, well, you shouldn't

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: have interrupted me as I was saying those rascals at

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: Chase Center taking not giving Lebron his baby powder for

54
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: the chalk toss, that's outrageous. It was Lebron every game

55
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: for twenty years has tried to put baby powder or

56
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: chalk in his hands, throw it up. It's a great

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: moment for the crowd. The Warriors, ops people had the

58
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: bottle there and had it empty on purpose. I'm on

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: to you, Chase Center and the Bucks not doing exit interviews.

60
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: That's not in the show. Who is in the show

61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: is diora freshly minted eighteen year old Diorra, who is

62
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: in the show in place of Demond's for the next

63
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: month or a couple months. She's considering extending it through

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: the summer. She wants to be paid.

65
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: Yeah for it. And the only way I'm gonna keep

66
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: doing this after my project is if I'm getting paid. Yeah.

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: Well, okay, we'll see how that works out. This is again,

68
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: as you will learn in your field of study, which

69
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: is the performing arts and acting, we are paying you

70
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: in exposure and opportunity. Diora, what are we starting the

71
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: show with today?

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: So today we're going to start with how Demanse was right.

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: I guess the Celtics really didn't have to worry. The

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: seventy sixers got the MVP back in the lineup and

75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 4: we're blown out. Didn't seem so valuable to me?

76
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: Okay, okay.

77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: Should Philly be encouraged by embiids a return or terrified

78
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: because they lost by like a thousand points?

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: All right? Neither is the answer. So here's the deal.

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: That wasn't an option, okay, but it's the correct answer.

81
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: So it is now fifteen consecutive series where if the

82
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: home team lost game one, they then win game two.

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: So fifteen NBA playoff series in a row where the

84
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: road team has had the chance to go up to

85
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: they have not done it. We've seen it already, just

86
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: off the top of my head in these playoffs. Miami

87
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: went up one oh in Milwaukee. They then lost Game

88
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: two in Milwaukee. Miami went up one oh in New York.

89
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: They then lost Game two in New York. The Lakers

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: went up one oh against Memphis. They then lost Game

91
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: two in Memphis. The gonna lose tonight, Well that's we'll

92
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: get to that. But it's like history says, yes. Uh.

93
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: The Clippers went up one oh in Phoenix, they then

94
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: lost game two. The Sixers went up one oh in Boston.

95
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 3: They then lost game two. These are the home team

96
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: almost never goes down oh two at home, and the

97
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: reason for that is obvious but kind of multi layer.

98
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: The first one is the home team had the better

99
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 3: regular season typically is the better team, so they're not

100
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: often gonna lose those first two games. But more important

101
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: than that is, even in the playoffs, there's different senses

102
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: of urgency. The road team goes into the opening two

103
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: games of the series saying, let's steal one, so they

104
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: relax a bit if they win game one, and the

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: home team knows we've got to. At the very least

106
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: Salvage is split here, so their intensity is all ratcheted up.

107
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: So it was not a surprising result. Here is the

108
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: disappointing part and the concerning part for Philly.

109
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 4: Definitely at show.

110
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: It is gonna be a short show. Just get maybe

111
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: not with all your interruptions, but let me give the audience,

112
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 3: you know, the analysis of the game. The concerning part

113
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: is Harden goes from the best game of his playoff

114
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: career to one of the worst. He was two for fourteen,

115
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,679
Speaker 3: He was zero for six. He was a total non factor.

116
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: Another concerning part for Philly they annihilated with Jason Tatum

117
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: having as bad of a game as he'll ever have

118
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. He made one shot, he scored seven points.

119
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: He was a total non factor. Another at least slightly

120
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: concerning part for Philly is Joe Missoula and Boston said

121
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: they wanted to shoot more threes. They wanted to fix

122
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: that math problem they were having. They got fifty threes

123
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: up and made twenty of them, including ten from Grant

124
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: Williams and Malcolm Brogden off the bench. So none of

125
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: that's good. That then is going to lead to the

126
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: question of should the Sixers just have sat Joel Embiid

127
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: if they weren't gonna win this game anyway? Most likely,

128
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: should they have just given him the extra two days

129
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: of rest. I say no to that. And this is

130
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: where I actually think you can take some solace if

131
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: you're a Sixer fan. Embiid was going to be rusty,

132
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: was going to be somewhat ineffective, I believe in his

133
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: first game back no matter what. So getting that out

134
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: of the way, I think is a legitimate benefit. He

135
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: didn't have to go huge minutes. He went twenty seven minutes.

136
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: He wasn't listen. He was not very good offensively, but

137
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: he had five blocks in the first half and he

138
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: seemed to be moving fine. So I know the knee

139
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: is gonna hamper him, but I didn't watch him and say, oh,

140
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: he's a shell of himself. So all of that, to

141
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: me lead you down the road of believing this is

142
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 3: going to be a long series. I said beforehand, I

143
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: liked Philly and seven going on the road in a

144
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: game seven and winning. I know that's rare, but we

145
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 3: did just see the Warriors do it. I them getting

146
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: a split of the first two where they didn't have

147
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: him beat for Game one, and seeing that level of

148
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: play from Hardening game one had to make you feel good.

149
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: This was a game that would have been shocking affiliate one.

150
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: So yes, Demanse was right ish, but I do not

151
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: think that this is massively concerning for Philadelphia. And here's

152
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 3: the last thing I'll say about the Celtics here. They

153
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 3: when they are firing on all cylinders offensively and defensively,

154
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: they do look like the best team in basketball. They

155
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: look like the best defense in the Eastern Conference, an

156
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: offense that has five guys that can go get their

157
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: own bucket. All of those things are positive. It is

158
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 3: odd to me that even in the postseason they are

159
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: not consistently able to bring that level of effort night tonight.

160
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: But that's gonna be a great series. It's one to one.

161
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: What's next to you are on?

162
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: So after crying about it for years and Beid finally

163
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: won the MVP. Yeah, there are a lot of problems

164
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 4: with how this turned out. Though Bed only played eighty

165
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: percent of the games and be never made it out

166
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 4: of Round two and his team is winning without him,

167
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 4: and a big reason Jannis and Jokic didn't win three

168
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: straight was due to a lack of playoff success, with

169
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: Jokic as dominant as ever. Will we look back on

170
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: this as a mistake in the future.

171
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 3: No, So listen, here's the deal turn out. Uh yeah,

172
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: you're right about that. The Jannis and Jokic didn't win

173
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: three straight. Yes, in part because of a lack of

174
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: playoff success, but also because guys don't win three straight.

175
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: In the last fifty years, one guy has won three straight.

176
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: It was Larry Bird and he was already a multi

177
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: time champion. So I am guys, those guys didn't win

178
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: three straight because it's almost impossible to win three straight.

179
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: We have plenty of guys who won their first MVP

180
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: prior to any postseason success. So Jokic won his first

181
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 3: MVP before he had been to a finals. Giannis won

182
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: his first MVP before he had been to a finals. Hell,

183
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Steph won his first MVP before he had been to

184
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: a finals. He did end up going to the finals

185
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: that year, we can go Lebron had already been to

186
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: a finals, obviously. Berkley won his first MVP before he

187
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: went to the finals. He went that year a Keeam

188
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: won his first MVP before he went to the finals.

189
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: He won that year. Robinson won his first MVP before

190
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 3: he went to the finals. He went a few years later,

191
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 3: Jordan won his first MVP before he had been to

192
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 3: the finals. That happens. It's not so much about you

193
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: have to have had massive playoff success before you win

194
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: your first. Historically you have had to have significant playoff

195
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: success before you get your second. Now Here is where

196
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: it gets tricky for MBID and I'm gonna do this

197
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: off the top of my head, but I'd be shocked

198
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 3: if I don't get it right. There have been nine

199
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: MVPs in league history that don't have a championship. Five

200
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: of them at least made a finals, so Berkley, Malone

201
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: Iverson hardin Westbrook. Those are five of the nine ringless MVPs,

202
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: but they made a finals. Of the other four, three

203
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: of them at least made conference finals. So that is

204
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: Steve Nash who did it four times, Derrick Rose who

205
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: did it once and then had you know, blew out

206
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 3: his knee, and Joki conference finals. There is one league

207
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: MVP in history who has never made it out of

208
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: round two, and it is now Joe l EMBIID. So yes,

209
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 3: emb does need to have a real playoff run, hopefully

210
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: this year, if not very soon thereafter or else. It's

211
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 3: not that the MVP looks bad, it's that he stands

212
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 3: out as the only MVP in league history to have

213
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: never been to round two or to round three. Pardon me,

214
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: but I believe eventually he will break through. I obviously

215
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: picked the sixers this year for that breakthrough to happen,

216
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: to get to the finals, and I still believe it will.

217
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: What else you got on MVPs?

218
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: So why are you mad Lebron didn't get any votes

219
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 4: for MVP when he missed twenty seven games and his

220
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: team made the.

221
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: Play in Okay, I'm not mad at ames. You guys

222
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: are foisting this take upon me. You have to our

223
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: our group chat texted, Oh my god, Lebron got no

224
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: MVP votes. Yeah, not get really upset. I didn't listen.

225
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 4: No proof there is.

226
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: Lebron's been in the league twenty years. The way MVP

227
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,359
Speaker 3: voting works is you submit a ballot with five names.

228
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: Every year of his career, prior to this one, he

229
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: had gotten at least one fifth place vote and Lebron,

230
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're gonna do this. We can do this.

231
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: Lebron's history of top three, top five MVP finishes is

232
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: unlike anything we've ever seen or we'll ever see again.

233
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: His rookie year, he finished in ninth, his second year

234
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: he finished in sixth, and then just listen to these

235
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: next oh, I don't know, fifteen years, here's Lebron MVP

236
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 3: finishes second, fifth, fourth, first, first, third, first, first, second, third, third, fourth, second.

237
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: Then we get to the first year with the Lakers eleventh.

238
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: That year he shouldn't have gotten any votes. He was

239
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: hurt and they weren't very good. And then the second

240
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: with the Lakers back in second place, and then thirteenth

241
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: and tenth the last two years, which basically means he

242
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: got one vote in fifth place each the last two years,

243
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: and then this year nothing. I'm not no, I'm just

244
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: giving you the history. I'm telling you. From six to eighteen,

245
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: Lebron finished top five every single year, and from six

246
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: to twenty a fifteen season span, he had four first one, two, three,

247
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: four seconds, three thirds, a fourth, a fifth, and an eleventh.

248
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: He didn't deserve a vote this year. I have no

249
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: problem with it. Now, Well, he was hurt, he was

250
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: the first year with the Lakers. He was the first

251
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: significant injury of his career. He shouldn't have quick defend well,

252
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: he shouldn't have even gotten a vote, but he did. Now,

253
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: with all that said, if Lebron's not gonna get a

254
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: single vote to keep the streak alive, I'm not sure

255
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: how Jockett got votes when he missed almost as many

256
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: games as Lebron, and eight of them were because he

257
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: was suspended for bringing a gun to a strip joint.

258
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how Steph got some votes when his

259
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: team won one more game than Lebron and he played

260
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: one more game than Lebron. I'm not sure how my

261
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: large adult Slovenian son Luca got votes when his team

262
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: finished in eleventh place. But I got no problem with

263
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: Lebron not getting a vote. I am interested when the

264
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: votes come out. Oh, people are saying nick mute at

265
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: the text raid. You guys are texting me about bullsh

266
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 3: during Lakers Warriors like the the It's rude.

267
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: Gotta keep close eyes on your best I'm.

268
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 3: Watching the game. I'm yeah, but they're not that invested

269
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: in it. Gabe is sterring stuff up. It's that's birthday,

270
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: so he's obviously three sheets to the wind, just hammered

271
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: wet the it's guys, I'm watching Lakers Warriors and you're

272
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: texting me about old news. It was hours old at

273
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: that time. Uh Now, what I was gonna say is

274
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: I got distracted? What was I gonna say? I don't remember?

275
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: This show isn't going to be under the time.

276
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: It is gonna be under the time next on.

277
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: Your Lakers stole Game one behind a dominant showing from

278
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 4: a d Yeah.

279
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: Who could have seen that coming? This guy right here.

280
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 4: But the win took just about everything from the Lakers

281
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: old guys. With Lebron and Ad combining for eighty four minutes.

282
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: With games every other night, LA won't have much time

283
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: to rest up throughout the season. Was it smart for

284
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 4: Darvin Ham to empty the tank so early in the series.

285
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 3: We must win game They had to get Game one

286
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: the war that of all the games that are gonna

287
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 3: be in Chase Center, the that was gonna be easiest

288
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: to get. The one they needed to get was Game one.

289
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: The Warriors were coming off a seven game war, the

290
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: Lakers were the more rested team. There were no adjustments. Obviously,

291
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: the adjustments were yet to be made. They had to

292
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: get Game one, and they were dominant in Game one

293
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: until the final few minutes when they almost blew it.

294
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: Had they blown it? Utterly devastating because they did fire

295
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: multiple bullets in that game, and they don't have that

296
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: many left in their gun for this series. So I now,

297
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: did darvinham push it a bit by playing Anthony Davis

298
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: the entire second half and was he clearly gassed at

299
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 3: the end of it. Yes, but they got through it

300
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: and they got the victory tonight. Very different story tonight.

301
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: They are going to have to try to win non

302
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: or at least play even the non A D minutes Tonight,

303
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: AD and Lebron instead of combining for eighty four minutes,

304
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 3: should probably combine for like seventy four minutes, play thirty

305
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 3: six and thirty eight minutes, respectively. And tonight tonight. If

306
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 3: you're the Lakers, I know it's not your style, but

307
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: it's probably just how bombs away from three? See if

308
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: we catch fire? This is not It would be shocking

309
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: if the Lakers won tonight. At least you can admit it. Well, listen, I.

310
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: Listen, listen, listen.

311
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: Well, you are feeding into an incorrect narrative that I

312
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 3: am some just sickophant as opposed to America's most trusted

313
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: voice in sports.

314
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 4: See, but you've named yourself.

315
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 3: That, I've named myself What but America's most trusted voice

316
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 3: in sports? No, I didn't. Reuters did look it up.

317
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: Did So here's the thing. I'm just giving you great

318
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: gambling advice and good picks. That's all I'm here for

319
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: in my opinion on things I said before the series,

320
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: this series was going to follow the exact beats of

321
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: the Memphis series. Lakers win Game one on the road,

322
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: Games three, four, and six at home, and that's how

323
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: they win the series. They lose Game two, they lose

324
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: Game five. Now, if they were to win tonight, Furthermore,

325
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: obviously the series would be over. You're not coming back

326
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: from losing the first two at home. How could they

327
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: win tonight? I said, they got to be bombs away

328
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: from three and ad would have to be great on

329
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: both ends once again, and at some point Lebron is

330
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: gonna make some shots. Lebron is nine of forty nine

331
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: from three this postseason, which is just impossibly bad. But

332
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: one more note on this Lakers Warriors Game one teams

333
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: never lose shooting the way the Warriors shot with the

334
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 3: other team not shooting well. So let me just give

335
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: you some facts. The Warriors got up fourteen more shots

336
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: than the Lakers, and they made fourteen more threes than

337
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 3: the Lakers, actually fifteen. In all of NBA history, if

338
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 3: you're plus fourteen in field goal attempts and plus fourteen

339
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: and threes made, every team that's ever done that has

340
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: won every single time except for that Warriors game. Steph

341
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: and Clay combining for twelve threes in a playoff game.

342
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: The Warriors going into Last Earth Game one that had

343
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: only happened nine times, they were eight and one. The

344
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: Warriors under curve having eight or fewer turnovers that it

345
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: only happened eleven times. They were eleven and two. Teams

346
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: that hit fifteen or more threes than their opponent regular

347
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: season or the playoffs NBA history that had happened ninety

348
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: eight times. Those teams were ninety five and three, and

349
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 3: the Warriors lost that game. Jordan Poole matched Lebron's scoring

350
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: and the Warriors lost that game. That is a brutal

351
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: spot for the Warriors. You shoot, you make twenty one threes.

352
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 3: The Lakers make six, Lebron doesn't have a good game offensively,

353
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 3: and you still lose incredibly ominous for them for the series,

354
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 3: incredibly ominous. I think this is a terrible matchup for

355
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: the Warriors. They do not have the size, and I

356
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: don't know what obvious adjustment they can make other than

357
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: Steph save us, and that'll work for a couple games,

358
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: but that will not work for four games. And the

359
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 3: fact that the Lakers are five and two this postseason,

360
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 3: five and two, despite Lebron shooting the way he's shooting,

361
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: that's terrifying for the rest of the league. One other

362
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: note before we move on. I have in my pocket

363
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 3: figuratively and we talked about it on this show when

364
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: I made the bet, a thousand dollars bet on the

365
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: Lakers to win the title at fifty to one. Now,

366
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: during football season, our very first NFL gambling show, I

367
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: gave out a different fifty to one. It was a

368
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: Chiefs Niner super Bowl and we got to the final

369
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 3: weekend of the NFL playoffs for the second last weekend,

370
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs and Niners were still alive, and people

371
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 3: were like a hedge buy out of the ticket. Whatever.

372
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 3: I didn't the Niners quarterbacks get hurt, it loses. But

373
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 3: I sorry you were. But I had given the audience

374
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 3: a fifty to one bet that with two weeks left

375
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL season, was down to like five to one.

376
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: I then, eight weeks ago gave the audience the Lakers

377
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 3: at fifty to one. This morning they are five to one.

378
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: So I don't listen. I don't hedge bets. But had

379
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: you taken my advice and bet that you could cash

380
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: out right now for ten x the profit, I'm gonna

381
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 3: ride this to a fifty to one winner and pay

382
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: for year of Do you're at UC Santa Cruz But

383
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: I am in root, dude. There's all these alleged gambling

384
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: shows out there and gambling experts. I've given you two

385
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: fifty to one's overtime that got down to five to

386
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: one and falling already. We are a little late. Let's

387
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 3: get to the last thing. Go ahead.

388
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: A lot of the discussions surrounding Warriors Lakers have been

389
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: about Steph versus Lebron. Steph has the most to gain.

390
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: Lebron's legacy really only changes with the title, but is

391
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 4: the person who with the most to lose in the

392
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 4: series Kevin Durant looks like KD is about to fail

393
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 4: with yet another super team, while Lebron and Steph are

394
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: still competing for titles with good but not great teams.

395
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: Who do you think has the most to lose?

396
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I don't consider the Suns of super team.

397
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: But here's what I do think, and this is a

398
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 3: good lesson for superstars across the league. The team hopping

399
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 3: build a super team path really only works for Lebron.

400
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: So Lebron went to Miami and they won. He then

401
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: went to Cleveland and they traded for Kevin Love and

402
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: they won. He then went to the Lakers, who hadn't

403
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 3: made the playoffs in six years, and they traded for

404
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis and they won. Other guys have tried this.

405
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: None of them have succeeded. We'll get to Durand in

406
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: the moments like, oh, well, Durant went to the Warriors.

407
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: Different Durant went to a team that had already won

408
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: a championship, was added to it, and they won more championships.

409
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: That's not the same. That is not what Lebron did,

410
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: That is not what anyone had done. But we have

411
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: seen Durant then go to Brooklyn, try to build it up.

412
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: Kyrie go to Brooklyn, try to build it up. Doesn't work.

413
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: Kyrie go to Dallas, try to build it up, hasn't worked.

414
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: Durant go to Phoenix, doesn't look like it's gonna work.

415
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: Kawhi and Paul George go to the Clippers has not worked.

416
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: We have seen now who has won. Giannis Stayed Built Champion,

417
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: Steph Stayed Built Champion, Dirk Duncan, Kobe, all those guys.

418
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: Now you can say Kawhi with the Raptors a little

419
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: different situation that was not trying to build some super team,

420
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 3: that was a team that had been competing at a

421
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: very high level, needed one last piece. Brought in Kawhi.

422
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: They won.

423
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: The idea that other guys can do what Lebron has

424
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 3: done is foolish. No one has been able to do it.

425
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: Nobody people have tried. It has not worked for anyone

426
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: but Lebron that it create a team out of thin

427
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: air through your own gravity and greatness. He's the only

428
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: one who's been able to do it. The stick with

429
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: the team, bring in other pieces to compliment what I do.

430
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: That has worked. It's what Denver is trying right now.

431
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: We'll see if it works. It's what Boston is trying

432
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 3: right now. They've come very close. It's what Philly is

433
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: trying right now. Build around Embiid, draft Maxie, do these things,

434
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: bring in Harden his last piece. The get all my back,

435
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: let's build a super team. Thing has worked for one guy,

436
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: only Lebron, and he's done it in three places. So

437
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: people think that it's easy. It's not. Now for Durant,

438
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: he needs to be better. This is not a super team.

439
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: This is not a deep team. We'll get to the

440
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: Chris Paul injury in a moment. Here is what Durant, though,

441
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 3: does need. He can't get swept back to back years.

442
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: You know, prior to the conference finals. I understand Shack

443
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 3: got swept four out of five years of his career,

444
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,959
Speaker 3: but they weren't Round one sweeps, and they weren't and

445
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: they weren't when he was already Apex prime Shack. If

446
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: people don't remember what I'm talking about Shack, I mentioned

447
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: this on TV yesterday. I think Shack in ninety five

448
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: made the finals and got swept by a Keem in

449
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: ninety six, made the Conference finals and got swept by

450
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: Jordan in ninety eight made the conference finals and got

451
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: swept by Utah, and then in ninety nine made the

452
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: semifinals and got swept by Duncan and Robinson. That is

453
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: not the same as being swept in round one and

454
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: then in round two. So the Nuggets are better than

455
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: the Suns. The Nuggets are cheaper than the Sun, the

456
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: Nuggets are healthier than the Suns. The Nuggets can win

457
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 3: that series. And that is not an indictment on Durant.

458
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: But Durant cannot, absolutely cannot get swept in round two

459
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: in the West after being swept in round one in

460
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: the East. And also, by the way, I forgot twenty

461
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 3: one year old Chack got swept in round one that

462
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: was his third year in the league, I think, by Indiana,

463
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: and the very next year they made the finals. So

464
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: that's what's on. Durant. Can't get swept. Have an over

465
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 3: my dead body game, kick ass tomorrow night and do

466
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: that and you're feeling better about where you're at. Little

467
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: pressure on Denver for Game four, quick break right back,

468
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: what's right?

469
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 5: We're so done with New Year, New you. This year

470
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 5: is more you on bumble, more of you shamelessly sending playlists,

471
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 5: especially that one filled with show too. More of you

472
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 5: finding Geminis because you know you always like them, More

473
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 5: of you dating with intention because you know what you

474
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 5: want and you know what we love that for you,

475
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: someone else will do be more you this year and

476
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 5: find them on Bumble.

477
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 4: Welcome Back episode one. So we're gonna start with the

478
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: CP three. CP three is out again. This time it

479
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: could lead to his team being swept. As it stands,

480
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: Paul is on a short list of greatest players to

481
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: never win a ring, But so much of the story

482
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: in his career Twilight is his injuries holding teams back.

483
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 4: This guy is Kawhi without rings? Was it bad luck

484
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: Monty's fault? Or ken Booker and Durant extend the series

485
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 4: long enough to make this question not matter, all.

486
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: Right, It is some bad luck he has had early

487
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: in his career. He did just have some bad luck

488
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: with injuries. Now he's one of the oldest players in

489
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: the league. He's the second oldest player that actually gets minutes.

490
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: The only older than him are Jananis Haslam who does

491
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 3: not play, Andre Gudala who does not play, and Lebron

492
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: and so. And he's a little guys. He's barely six

493
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: feet tall. But this is also why what the Sons

494
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: did with this trade for durant was so risky, because

495
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 3: they absolutely were trying, trying to go all in on

496
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: this year on winning a title. When you knew you

497
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: were trading away depth, you were trading away future ability

498
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: to acquire depth via the draft or via trading draft picks.

499
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: For a team with a thirty seven year old, injury

500
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: prone point guard and then MANI playing him forty minutes

501
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: a game in round one was an obvious risk that

502
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: a lot of us saw coming, and I kept sounding

503
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: the alarm on So listen, it's a tricky one. Chris

504
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 3: Paul is one of the greatest players ever, and little

505
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: guys being the best player on a champion it's really

506
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: just Isaiah and Steph. Little guys don't win championships as

507
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: the best player. There is not a history of that.

508
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: And Steph is I'm sorry, Steph is bigger than Isaiah,

509
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: and Isaiah is bigger than CP three, not that any

510
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: of them are big guys. And so now to answer

511
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: your question on Ken Booker and Durantix, send the series

512
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: long enough. No, Denver's better and deeper and healthier. And

513
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 3: I didn't think Phoenix was gonna be able to win

514
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: with the healthy Chris Paul. Without a healthy Chris Paul,

515
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: this could get really ugly. So I don't really listen.

516
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: He made a finals finally a couple of years ago.

517
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: Last year was bad for him. They were the number

518
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 3: one seed, they had the best record in basketball, and

519
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: they fell apart against Luca. That was bad. But so

520
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 3: so where does what does this mean for if we're

521
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 3: doing Chris Paul legacy stuff. Well, if you guys remember

522
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 3: on my fifty greatest players list, I'll tell you exactly

523
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: where he was, I'm gonna pull it up real quick.

524
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 3: I think I had him twenty twenty of the greatest

525
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: players of the last fifty years, I had him twenty first.

526
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: So he's behind d Wade. I have him behind Barkley,

527
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 3: behind Mailman Barkley and Mailman don't everrings. I had him

528
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: right ahead of Garnett and Robinson, who do everrings? I

529
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: had a Stockton and Harden who don't ever rings. That's

530
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 3: just where he is like as far as greatest point

531
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 3: guards ever, if we expand it past the last fifty years,

532
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 3: it's Magic then Steph, then Oscar, then Isaiah, then Chris Paul.

533
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: If he had won a ring, would he have jumped Isaiah? Maybe?

534
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 3: Is he going to? He's not, And the Sons are

535
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 3: gonna have a really tough offseason in large part because

536
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: of what are they gonna do about Chris Paul?

537
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 4: All right? Next, so next we're gonna play a game

538
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 4: of right or wrong? Yes, So first up, the Grizzlies

539
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 4: announced that Dylan Brooks will not return under any circumstances

540
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 4: next year. He's bad at basketball and he talks trash.

541
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: Given their record, this can only mean one thing. He's

542
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 4: a future Laker. Lance Stevenson, Pat Bev, Russ. Oh, yeah,

543
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 4: it's happening, right or wrong. Nick Will embraced future Laker

544
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks.

545
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: Wrong, but it's also not happening zero percent.

546
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 4: Zero percent.

547
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 3: People are like, oh, the Lakers signed Lance. They signed

548
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: Lance five years after his beef with Lebron The Patrick

549
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 3: Beverly thing was a disaster from the beginning, and they

550
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: got rid of him. By the way. Patrick Beverly came

551
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 3: out and said he wants a ring if the Lakers

552
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: win a title, give me a ff and break man. Now,

553
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: he said Russ wants one too. I'm fine with Russ

554
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 3: getting a ring. Russ gave it his all. They actually

555
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: got real pieces back for Russ. That's fine. Patrick Beverly,

556
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 3: who was a noose it was a hindrance to the

557
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: Lakers winning. Was barely ever on the on the team.

558
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 3: No chance. But they're not gonna sign Dylan Brooks. Somebody

559
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: Will Shuston might sign him. Dallas Sneaky could sign him,

560
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 3: add a little edge to the team, a defensive stopper

561
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 3: alongside Luke and Kyrie. There are some Dylan Brook's career

562
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 3: is not over, obviously, and Memphis, though saying under no

563
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 3: circumstances will we bring him back felt personal and it

564
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 3: felt Listen, I'm no Dylan Brooks fan, but he was

565
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: not their biggest problem this year. He was a problem.

566
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 3: He was not their biggest problem all right, next.

567
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: Okay years. The process was a joke in Philadelphia. Now

568
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 4: it's produced to MVP. Sam Hinkey was burnt at the

569
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 4: stake for his analytics and tanking. But it looks like

570
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: it actually paid off. Right or wrong. The process actually worked.

571
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. The problem with the process was

572
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 3: multi fast fold. In my opinion, One was they did

573
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 3: not draft well in the process. The other was they

574
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 3: did make a mockery of trying to compete, and they

575
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: did it for four years. The Oklahoma City Thunder did

576
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: their own version of the process. Took two years. They

577
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: were in the playoffs in the bubble with Chris Paul.

578
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 3: They then had two terrible seasons and they were back

579
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: competitive this year. Two years Philly went nineteen wins, eighteen wins,

580
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: ten wins, twenty eight wins. And here's the other giant

581
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,959
Speaker 3: problem with the process. When I say they didn't draft well.

582
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 3: They could have crushed the league in a positive way

583
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 3: with the process if they had drafted better. But they didn't.

584
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: So here's what they did. First year of the process,

585
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: they draft Michael Carter Williams, Syracuse guy. But and he

586
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 3: won Rookie of the Year. It didn't matter. Not a

587
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 3: very good player. Second year of the process, they get

588
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: Joe el Embiid home run, no doubt, they got him third.

589
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: It actually the reason he fell to third was because

590
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 3: they knew that he wasn't going to be able to

591
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: play his rookie season, or at least there was concerns.

592
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: But that was fine with them because they didn't want

593
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 3: him to play because they wanted to be bad. So

594
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: that's great. This is where it gets bad though. Twenty

595
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: fifteen process. Jilliel okafor at number three. Devin Booker's in

596
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: that draft, Chris STAPs is in that draft. A lot

597
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: of people that are still in the league in that draft.

598
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: Twenty sixteen, Ben Simmons number one, Brandon Ingram and Jalen

599
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 3: Brown are the next two picks. The next year they

600
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: have the number that the number three pick. They trade

601
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 3: that pick and future picks to Boston to take Markel Foltz.

602
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum goes third where they were originally drafting. So

603
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: their problem wasn't so much that they Oh and by

604
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: the way, twenty eighteen they draft McHale Bridges, SGA still

605
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: on the board. They draft mkil Bridges is awesome, and

606
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 3: then trade him so for Zyr Smith. So the problem

607
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 3: with the process was not it was that it took

608
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: too long and they didn't draft good enough players. Now

609
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: in bad's awesome, So you can say it's vindicated. They

610
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 3: probably got to make it out around two to truly

611
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: vindicate it.

612
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 4: All right, Next, Okay, the Knicks tied up the series

613
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 4: with Jimmy Buckets on the sidelines. Yeah, but Miami has

614
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 4: till Saturday to rest up and take a commanding lead

615
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 4: at home, even though they nearly won without him. The

616
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 4: Heat's lack of death and firepower is only solved with playoff. Jimmy,

617
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 4: right or wrong, the most important player left in these

618
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 4: playoffs is Jimmy Butler.

619
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: I think it's wrong. I think it's close. I think

620
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: the most important player in these playoffs is Anthony Davis one,

621
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 3: Steph Curry to Jimmy Butler three. Because here's the thing.

622
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 3: The Lakers can't right now win without Ad. The Warriors

623
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: can't win without Staph. The Heat damn near one couple

624
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 3: days ago without Jimmy. So he's on the very short list,

625
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 3: but Ad and Steph are ahead of him. Next.

626
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: Okay, So Aaron, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is the guy without

627
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 4: a demand's list has gotten every one of his demands met.

628
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 4: Weeks ago, we joked that the Jets are signing cob

629
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 4: Now they actually did right or wrong Rogers. Rogers has

630
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 4: too much say in New York.

631
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 3: Right to a degree, Listen, I don't think the Randall

632
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: Cobbs signing is gonna drastically help or hurt them. My

633
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 3: issue is not with the signing. My issue was with Rogers,

634
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: once again being misleading with his public comments. He attacked

635
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 3: Diana Russini for saying he had a wish list when

636
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: he clearly did. He wanted them to sign Odell they tried.

637
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 3: He wanted them to sign Lazard they did. He wanted

638
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 3: them to sign the Cob they did. We'll see about

639
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 3: Mercedes Lewis. He said. The Packers, you know, never reached

640
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 3: out to him. They were like, oh, we called him repeatedly.

641
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 3: And then he's like, oh they didn't fa this really

642
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 3: happened to your He was like, I have bad service

643
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 3: in my house. They need to FaceTime me. I don't

644
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: have any missed face times. Of course that's something you

645
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: would do, not at a press conference when they're paying

646
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: you fifty million dollars a year. Uh. And then he

647
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: also was Josina Anderson tried to nail him down on

648
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 3: are you going to be around for the off season.

649
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm here now, I'm gonna be here tomorrow. Yeah.

650
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: Of course. Of course told McFee a couple of days ago,

651
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 3: I'll be around for more than half of it.

652
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 4: So you think he has too much say well, or just.

653
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 3: I just think he's I just think he's disingenuous. It

654
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: goes back to the hall like a teenager, correct, and

655
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 3: the whole he It all started with him being asked

656
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 3: about his vaccination status and he was like, I've been immunized,

657
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 3: which everyone thought. He was like, yeah, I've been immunized,

658
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 3: and then kept going and then we found out he

659
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: never got vaccinated. And the mandatory to play though, well

660
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 3: it's not mandatory to play, but it's if you're not vaccinated,

661
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 3: you have different rules and you gotta wear masks and

662
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 3: all this stuff. This from a couple of years ago,

663
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 3: and he wasn't following them. Uh, and then he was

664
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 3: like yeah, I mean he was just totally disingenuous with

665
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 3: that because he was like, no, I took like a

666
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: homeopathic remedy that I thought, No, he's a he's gone

667
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: off and he's off the rough. Yeah, And so I

668
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 3: just feel like his public comments can't be trusted. I

669
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 3: also don't think the Jets are gonna be that good.

670
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: Sorry gave next.

671
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 4: Okay, Mahomes and Kelsey are taking on Stephan Clay in

672
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 4: the next edition of the match. This has to be

673
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 4: the biggest stakes ever for an exhibition golf game. For you, right,

674
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 4: or wrong you personally booked the match.

675
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 3: I didn't, but I think it's gonna be awesome to

676
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 3: see because Mahomes and a staff. Well, well you know

677
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: that's interesting.

678
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 4: Where is it, I'm guessing No, No, No.

679
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be at a gorgeous golf course somewhere.

680
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 3: It's gonna be one. Yeah, but there's but not like

681
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. It'll be one of the nicest golf

682
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 3: courses in the world, is the way they'll do it.

683
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 3: And so I'm not sure where it is. I'm sure

684
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 3: it's not Can't City, no offense to Blue Hills Country Club,

685
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 3: were at Hallbrok or wherever they would golf in k City,

686
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 3: lack Lloyd, Mahomes and Steph are both extraordinary golfers, really, Yeah,

687
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 3: like Steph step probably could be a pro golfer honestly,

688
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 3: and Mahomes is very very good.

689
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 4: A lot of these guys.

690
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not a good golfer.

691
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 4: And well, I just got you to admit it, because

692
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 4: I feel like we've been on the same podcast. No,

693
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm you tried to convince everyone that you were a

694
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 4: good golfer.

695
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: No, I did not. I was passable.

696
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 4: I think we need to spin that back what.

697
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 3: I said when we played in Hawaii, I was fine,

698
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 3: I'm not these guys are scratch golfers. I would slow

699
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 3: them down. So here's why it's gonna be fun. I

700
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 3: think because I think Steph and Patrick are gonna take

701
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: it super seriously, and I think Kelsey and Clay. I

702
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 3: think Kelsey'll probably be ten bud lights deep, and I

703
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 3: think Clay will probably be high out of his mind.

704
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: And so I think you're gonna have like the goofball

705
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 3: sidekick guy and the guy's taking it really seriously. I

706
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 3: think it'll be awesome that it'll be awesome to see.

707
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: Now you're asking by ever, I want to be clear

708
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: on this. Patrick Mahomes and I are not like buddies.

709
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 3: We're friendly, but I would not feel comfortable being like,

710
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 3: can we go golfing together?

711
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 4: I would be.

712
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 3: Comfortable asking Kelsey if we could go golfing together.

713
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 4: So you think you guys are friends?

714
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 3: Yes, me and Kelsey? Yeah, I do. I do think,

715
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: And I.

716
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 4: Think I need to make a Twitter just to tweet

717
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 4: to him and ask him what he thinks about that. Well,

718
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 4: hold on a second here, Yeah, I mean like I've

719
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 4: met Nick. No, No, that seems like a nice gut.

720
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 3: Well, let me hold on just a second. Here's the receipt.

721
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 3: You're slander. Well, I'm gonna show you something right now

722
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 3: because I feel like you're being mean and I don't

723
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 3: think there's a need for this.

724
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: No, I believe that you speak to famous.

725
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 3: No, it's not about speaking to famous. It's about him

726
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 3: sending me that picture. Uh and yeah, No.

727
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 4: Kelsey and I are pass Instagram, though not on messages.

728
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 4: It doesn't. It's not the same. So what it's not

729
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 4: the same.

730
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 3: The this is him telling me to have a good

731
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: time in Brazil. Sorry that I couldn't go to watching

732
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: host Saturday Night Live. He invited me to watch him

733
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 3: host Saturday and Live. Don't I don't lie about these things.

734
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 4: It's okay, all right? Next, Okay, So Bonus is happy.

735
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: May fourth. It's a big day for the dorks out there.

736
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 4: Right or wrong? You're a Star Wars guy.

737
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 3: Wrong?

738
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's wrong.

739
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean I think they're just doing this so

740
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 3: they can show Disney stealing my likeness with Count Dooku,

741
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 3: which still bothers me. It's still insane. How much I mean,

742
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 3: I deserve money for this?

743
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 4: Obviously, it's no way that they didn't do it off

744
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 4: of your face. Of course, there's no way that it's

745
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 4: a coincidence, exactly right, the hairline, the eyes, like that's funny.

746
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: Now, that is funny. They're putting on the screen our

747
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: first thing's first logo with Count Dooku.

748
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:24,359

Speaker 3: were like, all right, let's all go to a movie.

769
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 3: And we all sat in the movie theater together, me

770
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 3: and my soon to be divorced parents watching Star Wars Jarp.

771
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 3: All right, quick break right back, What's right?

772
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 4: Welcome to What's Right, Episode one forty eight. Next we're gonna.

773
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna read some listener questions and comments. Okay, we

774
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 3: weren't quite ready for that little reintro. You're like, I'll

775
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 3: do it. I'll do it. But before we before we

776
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 3: do that, let me send this tweet because we want

777
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 3: to talk about something serious here just for a second.

778
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 3: Anything you can do would be great. Appreciate it. So

779
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 3: when Door and I lived in Houston, when our family

780
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 3: lived in Houston, up the street from us, was this

781
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: little boy named Marcus who was is he was he

782
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 3: older or younger than you? Older than you? But you guys,

783
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: we moved out of Houston in twenty seventeen.

784
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like my best friend though why.

785
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 3: We lived there? Was your best friend while you lived

786
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 3: there and a really nice family that we really liked,

787
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 3: and we were very close friends with his mom. And

788
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 3: he had a bunch of foster siblings, some with him

789
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 3: for years, some in and out. That's what they fostered

790
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: kids in this house. And girl, it was all girls.

791
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 3: So it was Marcus, his mom, his dad, and a

792
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 3: bunch of foster girls. And we were close with this family.

793
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 3: And Diora has kept up with Marcus via social media

794
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 3: in the years since we left, and I mean, do

795
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 3: you we spent a lot of time. Miss Beverly was

796
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 3: the mom's name over at the house. So Doors sent

797
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 3: me a text yesterday with a link to a go

798
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 3: fund me and listen, we have never asked for any

799
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 3: money on this show. I don't think we've ever done

800
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 3: a charity thing on this show. But this is really heartbreaking.

801
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 3: So I'm not going to read the entirety of the

802
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 3: story behind this, but the short version is Marcus and

803
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 3: his mom, his mom and dad split up. It seems

804
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 3: to be on pretty ugly terms.

805
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 4: At first, it seemed to have been fine, but they

806
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 4: recently got officially divorced, I think, and it.

807
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: Seems not great. Yeah, and but Marcus and his foster

808
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 3: siblings and the mom stayed in the house. The mom

809
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 3: then had a lot of serious health issues and some

810
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: again you can I'll send out the link, some issues

811
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 3: with the mortgage payments via the father, not via the father, and.

812
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 4: Because he had no rights to the house.

813
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 3: Basically the yeah again I wanna. I'll let Marcus's words

814
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 3: speak for it. But the short version is this, they

815
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 3: are up against losing their house, having it put up

816
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 3: to put according to him, put up by auction by

817
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 3: the father, and being out. So it would be Marcus,

818
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 3: his mom, who is not in good health, and all

819
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 3: these foster kids, some of whom have lived there for

820
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 3: years and it's been the only stable home they've ever had.

821
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 3: So anyone that knows the foster systems, you bounced from

822
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 3: house to house to house, you're in the foster system

823
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 3: usually because of really tough circumstances, and they need a

824
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: significant chunk of money in order to be able to

825
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 3: keep the home. And so I'm going to donate some

826
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 3: money after the show. Again, everybody, everybody's got their own causes,

827
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 3: their own charities, their own things. I mean, there's obviously

828
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 3: no obligation for anyone, but if you're someone that does

829
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 3: you know occasionally give to a GoFundMe or has some

830
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 3: charitable money sitting aside, you're looking for a good cause.

831
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 3: I will vouch for this family. This young man now

832
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 3: a young man when I knew he was a little boy,

833
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 3: and this woman his mother. They are really really good

834
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 3: people who have fallen on really really tough times. And

835
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 3: even if they don't reach the full goal of the GoFundMe,

836
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: at least they can use the money, exactly, use the

837
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 3: money to get stable housing and do something. And these

838
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 3: people were really really good to you. Diora forever and

839
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 3: it is forever, and if I may again, and then

840
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 3: we'll get to the listener questions. We first moved to Houston,

841
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 3: and for some of the time in Houston, I don't

842
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 3: mean to embarrass you, I hope I don't. You had

843
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 3: a there was a time, there were some times where

844
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 3: tough times, making friends, meeting people, and this these people

845
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 3: happen to be one of only maybe two other black

846
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: families in our neighbor on our block. Yeah maybe the

847
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 3: only the only other black family in our neighborhood. And

848
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 3: Sugar sugar Land were really great and I kind of

849
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: feel badly that I have fallen out of touch, but

850
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 3: if you can help, it would be wonderful. I have

851
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 3: just now think as long as it ten dollars, one

852
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 3: hundred dollars, anything that you could do would be helpful.

853
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 3: I just tweeted out the link. I'm sure we what's

854
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 3: right show We'll also retweet it. And I'm not sure

855
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 3: how the chat works. If we can, maybe some one

856
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 3: of our producers, if it's possible, can click on the

857
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 3: link that I just tweeted and put the link to

858
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 3: it in the chat and now du or let's go

859
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 3: ahead and read some of these chat questions if we can.

860
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 4: Okay, Rookie to Envy said, does Russell winning a ring

861
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 4: with the Lakers change his legacy?

862
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 5: No?

863
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 3: I mean the Lakers winning a title this year. No

864
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 3: one will actually say Russell Westbrook won a ring. And Kara,

865
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 3: by the way, is gonna put the link to the

866
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 3: GoFundMe in the chat if anyone wants to click on

867
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 3: it and do something with it. Uh No, I mean

868
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 3: if he were on the team and contributing, that'd be

869
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 3: one thing. But no, because he was on the team

870
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 3: a few months ago. If they won the title didn't

871
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 3: change anything. And the guy's joking.

872
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 4: Next, Joseph Nagel asked, should the NBA reseed after each

873
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 4: round or keep the bracket system?

874
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 3: I like the bracket system, but once again, I think

875
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 3: you should be able to draft your playoff opponent. I

876
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 3: think the one seed, once we have the full bracket set,

877
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 3: the one seed should be able to pick from five

878
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 3: to through eight who they want to play the two seed,

879
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. I think that's a way better system,

880
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 3: especially since we now have a play in tournament.

881
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 4: All right, Next, Lambs asks do you think a finals

882
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 4: rematch would be vindication for all of those that try

883
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 4: to discredit the bubble?

884
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 3: Well, I think at this point discrediting the bubble is

885
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 3: you just look like an idiot. Really, at this point,

886
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 3: discrediting the bubble is just a way to try to

887
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 3: discredit lebron. So people like, oh, it's a bubble ring

888
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 3: and it was odd circumstances. But there's two reasons that

889
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 3: it never made sense. One was it'd be one thing

890
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 3: if the Lakers won, because the thing with the bubble

891
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 3: is there were no road games. Everything was a neutral site.

892
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 3: The team that is hurt the most from that is

893
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 3: the team with home court advantage, and the Lakers had

894
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 3: home court advantage, So it'd be one thing if like

895
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 3: an eight seed won the title in the bubble, It's like, well,

896
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 3: in a real season, they would have been on the

897
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 3: road the Lakers in theory that what number one seed

898
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 3: was the most damaged by the Lakers won the title anyway.

899
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 3: But the other reason you would discredit is if there

900
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 3: were a lot of aberrant events. Who what was the

901
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 3: final four in the bubble? Lakers, Nuggets, Heat Celtics. The

902
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 3: next year, the Lakers had the best record in basketball

903
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 3: until they dealt with injuries. The year after that Heat

904
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 3: Celtics was the Eastern Conference Finals. Again. The Nuggets are

905
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 3: going to be back in the conference finals this year.

906
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 3: The Lakers should be back in the conference finals this year.

907
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 3: We might have the exact same final four this year

908
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 3: as we had in the bubble. Discrediting the Bubble was

909
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 3: never about the bubble or the pandemic or anything. It

910
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 3: was always just a way to take a shot at lebron.

911
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 4: Next, coach Missik asked where you got your fit for today?

912
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 3: Well, I don't buy any of my own clothes, so

913
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,800
Speaker 3: let's find out together. Hold on, oh, I know this

914
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: Scotch and soda.

915
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 4: They matches your coffee cup.

916
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 3: Oh, it does match my coffee cup. How about that?

917
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 3: Thank you, coach Misstic.

918
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 4: Next Jared Corner, Maybe go ahead. Jared Kerner asked, do

919
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 4: you think Damian Lillard can or will end his career

920
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 4: ahead of CP three in your top fifty.

921
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 3: I don't think he will. He certainly could right now,

922
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 3: he's a way's way. I think Chris Paul is historically underappreciated.

923
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 3: I think Chris Paul is a great, great player and

924
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,439
Speaker 3: a winning player, incredibly winning player, even though he hasn't won.

925
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 3: I think he contributes to winning peak. Chris Paul contributes

926
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 3: to winning at an all time rate. So I really

927
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 3: like Dame, But I think Dame's got a ways to

928
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 3: go as far as career accomplishments to catch Chris Paul.

929
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 4: Next, Don Robino, Oh.

930
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,840

00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, but it's there's no right answer. No,

963
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 3: the time a really great guy. About one out of

964
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 3: ten days Dusty is, you know, irritable, let's say, but

965
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 3: usually a great guy, one of my favorite co workers ever,

966
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 3: but a self proclaimed dork. He's not going to run
