They go far beyond from 22 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: their customization options, cutting edge Tech five star Sales service 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: financial support crew go the extra mile, taking the all 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: important first step into an authorized dealership. Today, it doesn't 25 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: happen often, but sometimes the defensive play is the highlight 26 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: of a game, whether it's football, baseball, basketball, any sport, 27 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: and this could be the highlight of the series. And 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: last night in crunch Time, Jannis had one of those 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: plays as DeAndre Eton peeled off for would look like 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: an easy allie, and the Greek freak is guarding Devin Booker. 31 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: First of all, he's guarding Devin Booker and then he's 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: going to go back on DeAndre eighton. Very few players 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: in the history of the sport could be guarding a 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: guard like Devin Booker then go back and then go 35 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: up and challenge a dunk. Now we have Lebron's chase 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: down block of Andrea Gudala that was in the NBA 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: Finals that wanted championship. That's like Malcolm Butler's interception against 38 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: the Seahawks that was the twenty sixteen finals. So the 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: series is tied at two games apiece, and ultimately the 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: historical importance of that block is really going to be 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: determined by who wins this series. If the Bucks come 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: out on top, then this will be the defining moment 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. If the Sun's win, will think back 44 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: and go, oh, that's right, that was an incredible block. 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: It might get lost in history. I like to bring 46 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: up Julio Jones's catch against the Patriots in the Super 47 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Bowl loss. The Falcons blew the twenty eight to three league. 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: Julio Jones had this unbelievable catch put the Falcons in 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: prime position to kick a field goal. They would have 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. But it gets lost because they 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: didn't win the Super Bowl. You know, if the Giants 52 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: don't have that touchdown pass to Plexico Burst, then David 53 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: Tyree's catches. Wow, that was a fascinating catch. But that catch, 54 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: make a case, is greatest catch we've ever seen Super 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: Bowl history, or certainly on the short list as far 56 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: as the importance goes. Anybody who was complaining about this 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: finals matchup isn't watching because there's some great basketball being played. 58 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: There's some really stellar performances. Devin Booker was great last night. 59 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: Some questionable officiating that allowed him to stay in the game, 60 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: but he scored forty two. Unfortunately, he had thirty eight 61 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: in the first three quarters got into foul trouble and 62 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: should have fouled out. But Jannis's block one of the 63 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: more dramatic defensive plays that we've ever seen. Mcleven got 64 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: a pull question today, Well, a lot of people are 65 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: doing this one. Which was greater Janie's block or Lebron's block. 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I guess it depends how you define greater. Yeah, I mean, 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: I think Janniss with maybe more athletic in a way. 68 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: I think Lebronze is easier because it's a chase down block. 69 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: This is Jannis guarding one player and then sort of 70 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: pivoting and then going up against a seven foot or 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: a Fellows seven footer. And I just think the athleticism, 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: really the creativity of this. And I'm going to bring 73 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: this up to Mannix. Just the thought of I'm going 74 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: to go up there and try to block this, just 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: that thought and then to go up there and block it. 76 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: That to me, it goes back to what Pete Sampras 77 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: said to me many many years ago, and we were 78 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: talking about the greatness of Roger Federer, and I said, 79 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: how great is Federer? He said, he thinks of shots 80 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: that I never thought And he completes those shots like 81 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: having the imagination, and it's something that you normally don't 82 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: hear about with athletes, your imagination, because Gretzky had to 83 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: have imagination. You have to think, Okay, how can I 84 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: do something like this? All the great players, you know, 85 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, Jordan Magic, like, they had this 86 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: ability to go, I'm thinking of something you're not thinking, 87 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: and I'm going to do something that you're not even 88 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: thinking about. And I think what you saw with the 89 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: honest and I got to factor this in. Keep in 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: mind the hyper extended knee that was probably going to 91 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: end his playoff run. So if I factored degree of 92 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: difficulty of trying to block a seven footer or while pivoting, 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: and you know, it's not one of those running starts. 94 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: Lebron had a running start and Igudala didn't know he 95 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: was there. But that did win a championship. You know, 96 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler's play against Russell Wilson that won a Super Bowl. 97 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: He turned a loss into a win with that play. 98 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: And you could make a case that's as great a 99 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: play as we've ever seen in the Super Bowl in 100 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl history because the importance of it and you 101 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: look at the time of it. This wasn't a third 102 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 1: quarter interception. This is game on the line. There's a 103 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: talking hair due right under the goal post, ready to 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: go out there and hand out the Super Bowl Trophy, 105 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking I'm handing it to the Seattle Seahawks, 106 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: and then that happens and you realize, like it takes 107 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: the breath out of you. I don't know what that 108 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: did to the Phoenix Suns, but Dame Lillard tweeted in 109 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: real time, Jannis just won the game and there was 110 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: over a minute to play. But what that did to Phoenix, 111 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: it's not just hey, denied you two points and you 112 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: were going to tie the game. That's something that just 113 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: sort of hangs there. That's almost like a hangover the 114 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: next day. But it's happening right now. You're going, WHOA, 115 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: what just happened here? And I think give the Greek 116 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: free credit. He thought he had the imagination to think, 117 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna back pedal. I'm gonna go yeah, I'll go 118 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: up and try to block. Now I'm going to block 119 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: it and block it cleanly. But win a championship, we'll 120 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: think back that'll be the signature play and maybe the 121 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: signature play of Jannis's career, even though it's still very 122 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: bright and a big future ahead. But that last night 123 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: I have a special yes here. And to say that 124 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: the block Lebron had is easier isn't to say that 125 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: it's an easy play to make. I mean, Lebron's block 126 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: was incredible, right, but it's just it's not as difficult 127 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: as the one Jannis made, is that right? Yeah? Yeah, 128 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: But the importance of Lebron's is winning a championship. And 129 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: Richard Jefferson was Lebron's teammate with Cleveland back then, so 130 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: he'll have a better opinion on this. But you know, 131 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: a chase down block where somebody doesn't see you, and 132 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: then what Jannis did, Yeah, I thought he was going 133 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: to get dunked on. And I thought, you get dunked, 134 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: you dunk on the Greek freak. I thought it could 135 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: have gone really bad for Milwaukee, that Aton has a dunk, 136 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: survived a bad call, that Booker stayed in the game 137 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: and he should have fouled out. Chris Paul hasn't played well. 138 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: You win this game, You're gonna win the series. I mean, 139 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: the importance of that play, I don't think can be understated, 140 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: because I do think that could have been You're dunking 141 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: on the Greek freak, and I think momentum wise, boy, 142 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: it changed. It was a seismic shift there with what happened. 143 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: But Mannox will join us coming up a little bit 144 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: later on Richard Jefferson from the Mothership will join us 145 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, Paul, I'm rewatching the Warriors game with 146 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: Igodala and Lebron going for the block. If you watch 147 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: it from behind, Igodala's about four feet five feet from 148 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: the bass. He's about to go in. Lebron is on 149 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: the other side of the court. He's on the left 150 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: side of the court. Igodoala's on the right. It doesn't 151 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: appear like if you freeze frame it that Lebron could 152 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: get there. And the same thing if you rewatched Jannis 153 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: as he's turning in, his back is to eight and 154 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: you're like, how does he get there? It doesn't make sense? 155 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: All right? Age seven seven three D P show email 156 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: addressdp A Dan Patrick dot com. McLevin, what kind of 157 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: pulled question do you have? Do you want to do 158 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: greatest defense to play in a championship series or a 159 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: game we could Malcolm Butler probably brought up the Mike 160 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: Jones tackle in the Rams Titan Super Bowl. Uh, you 161 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: certainly have the Jannis block, the Lebron block. Uh, there's 162 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: probably some other sports. There's nothing baseball is there. Willie 163 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: May's over the over the shoulder kitch? Was that catch 164 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: that great? I've always wondered that. Well, you know, the 165 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: center field I think the center field wall was four 166 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four feet. I mean it was he 167 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: had so much room to run, but he had to 168 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: cover all of that ground and it was an over 169 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: the shoulder catch. Um, you know, I think so. I 170 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 1: mean check on that. I think center field was cavernous 171 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: back then in uh in Cleveland. Yeah, Pa, here's one. 172 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if makes it because if it's earlier 173 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: in the game Pittsburgh Arizona super Bowl, Kurt Warner is 174 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: about to take the team in for a touchdown to 175 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: end the first half, they would have gone up fourteen 176 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: ten a half, said James Harrison gets that interception and 177 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: takes it all the way back. That was again earlier 178 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: in the game. Probably doesn't belong in this poll question. 179 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: But bore did that change that game? Well? I think 180 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: now had that been in the second half, in the 181 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, then we would look at it differently because 182 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: it's one thing that you stopped them from scoring, but 183 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: you also scored in the process, and you stayed inbounds 184 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: and you scored right before the end of the first half. 185 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I actually think it's an underrated play in 186 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl history. And they know what the play is. 187 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: They knew the play, they scouted the play, they knew 188 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: what Kurt Warner was going to do in that moment, 189 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: and Harrison backed up instead of you went in to 190 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: try to sack Kurt Warner. He just fell back in 191 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: coverage and you make the interceptions one thing, and then 192 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: he avoids like six or seven tackles and stays inbounds 193 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: and then scores. But that was at the end of 194 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: the first half. That's one of those where you're going 195 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: into halftime and I'm watching from the sidelines, and all 196 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're thinking, all right, we're gonna go 197 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: up fourteen ten, and I'm thinking this is Arizona, that 198 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: this is their night. And then you watch it and 199 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: you go, oh my god, Warner just got picked James 200 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: Harrison stool He's still run. Wait, he's gonna James Harrison 201 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: just scored a ton what like, It's just one of 202 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: those crazy, crazy moments. And then you had Larry Fitzgerald 203 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown and I thought the Arizona is going 204 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: to win. All they have to do is shut down 205 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: Roethlisburg this two minute drive and they couldn't do it. 206 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: But you're right the moment. When you have a play 207 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: like that, you know history's kind to you when you 208 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: do it towards the end of the game. We forget 209 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: sometimes you can have great plays in the first quarter 210 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: or the second quarter, at the end of the first half. 211 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: What else mclovin. By the way, just to confirm what 212 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: you're saying, the center field was about four hundred and 213 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: fifty feet with a little part that jutted out to 214 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty three feet. Yeah. Willie Mays was 215 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty feet from home plate. Yeah, so 216 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: that that makes it even more incredible. I had to 217 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: cover a lot of ground out there in center field. 218 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: Did Oddie Smith ever do anything in the world. I 219 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: feel like he had a home run in the World's here. Yeah. 220 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: But Craig Neadtles Brooks, Robinson, well Brooks Robinson, But that 221 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: was an entire World Series in nineteen seventy against the Reds. 222 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: Like I think he took took the heart out of 223 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: the Big Red machine. He took the engine out of 224 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: the Big Red machine. Absolutely, that's the only case where 225 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: I could ever remember a defensive storyline to a series 226 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: like that was the storyline growing up. Brooks Robinson win 227 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: the World Series in my opinion, yes, and those were 228 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: my Cincinnati Reds, but absolutely because he caught everything and 229 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: you could tell where the Reds just felt like we 230 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: can't hit to the left side of the endfield because 231 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: Brooks Robinson is going to scoop it up and he 232 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: demoralized the Cincinnati Reds. Yeah, mcclun just satisfy our hockey friends. 233 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: Is there any like goalie performance, Well, it feels like 234 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: that's every other Stanley Cup final where you go, oh 235 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: my god, like Patrick Waugh. I'm sure Marty Brodore, there's 236 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: been goalies down through the years that you probably say 237 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: that the team won because as they would always say, hey, 238 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: Steve standing on his head, and my favorite hockey term, hey, 239 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: he's standing on his it's always this goalie is gonna win. 240 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: He's standing on his head. Which I never quite understand understood, 241 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: but it's like he's standing on his head and he 242 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: can stop everything. There five hole in peanut butter shelf 243 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: and all those things. Yes, I remember one time we 244 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: had the Bruins goalie on the show. I think his 245 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: name was Tim Thomas, and you asked him what standing 246 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: or your head is he at? What are those? Yeah? 247 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: Yes he did. Yeah, but those guys know it, you 248 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: know when you say, hey, you're standing on your head.

He's the senior NBA writer for 274 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. He joins us on the program. What would 275 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: the storyline be today if Phoenix had won last night? 276 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: Chris Oh, referee's gone wild would have to be have 277 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: to be right? I mean, that was one of the 278 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: more egregious non calls that I've ever seen. In the 279 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: explanation to the pool reporter after which is probably worse, 280 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: I mean to paraphrase it. It was. You know, I 281 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: thought there was a clean swipe, which there wasn't that 282 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: I saw the hand on the back, which there was. 283 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Dan, it's hard not to look at that 284 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: play and not see a referee that was determined to 285 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: keep Devin Booker in the game. You get five fouls, 286 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: So if they had, if Phoenix had won that game, 287 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: all we would be talking about today would be a 288 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: referee conspiracy theory for the Suns to win. So what 289 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: should the headline be today? You know, to me, it's 290 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: the ascent of Chris Middleton continues. Like I was writing 291 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: this last night, Like there was a couple of years 292 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: ago when Chris Middleton made his first All Star team, 293 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: when you looked at Chris Middleton and he said, all right, 294 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: we'll put him on the All Star team. But it's 295 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: mostly because the Bucks are really good and you can't 296 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: have just one All Star on a team that in 297 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: mid season is sitting at or near the top of 298 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: the conference. He almost benefited from the success of the Bucks. 299 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: But you know, he's had some good Finals games. Game 300 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: one was his best prior to Game four. But that 301 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: forty point performance in Game four, I think that really 302 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: cemented Chris Middleton as a true top twenty type player 303 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: in this league. So his breakthrough, to me was the 304 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: biggest story of that game for those who didn't see 305 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: the Greek freak's block on DeAndre Ayton. You, being a 306 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: word smith, how would you describe it? Unique? You know, 307 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: what Lebron did in twenty sixteen was remarkable, Like the 308 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: the sheer athleticism of Lebron to get back and block 309 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: Iguidala was remarkable. I don't know that there's any player 310 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: in league history that can do what Jana's did on 311 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: that play. To be defending the ball handler on the screen, 312 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: Devin Booker, and then have the athleticism and instincts to 313 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: get back and then have the strength and timing to 314 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: block a seven footer at the rim. I don't I 315 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: don't know. I can't think of too many guys that 316 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: could do it. Like I guess, go all the way 317 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: back in time and think of Bill Russell, one of 318 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: the great defensive players in NBA history. But players in 319 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: that day weren't anywhere near as athletic as the players 320 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: of today. So that's the kind of block like we 321 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: might see, and frankly, Lebron's done it multiple times we 322 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: have seen it. We might see it a block like Lebrons. Again, 323 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: I don't know that we ever see a block shot 324 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: in that situation like Janis. Two things that stood out. 325 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: You got to reflect back on the injury that he suffered, yeah, 326 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: and you got to factor that in. The Other thing 327 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: is I think just the thought of trying to block 328 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: it fascinated me. Not that he blocked it, just that 329 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: he was going to think about going up to block 330 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: it and then like you would go, okay, I'll just 331 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: let him have that slam dunk. That to me was 332 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: that's the fascinating part of it. You just go, oh 333 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: my god, oh my god, you know, like he's going 334 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: up to block. Oh he did block it. And Dame 335 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: Lillard tweeted in real time he said, Jannis just won 336 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: the game. And you know there was a little over 337 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: a minute to go, so I give him credit that 338 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: what that didn't to the rest you know, the next 339 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: ninety seconds he I mean, he took away Phoenix, you know, 340 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: whatever it was, he took it away in one play. Yeah, 341 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: it was about one fourteen left to play, and if 342 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: Aiden converts that dunk, it's a tie game. And all 343 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden Phoenix had a little bit of momentum there. 344 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: They get one stop, and you know, Devin Book or 345 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: Chris Paul, however, can erase any of the issues of 346 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: the previous quarter. I'm with you the like I think 347 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert is the best defensive player in the game, 348 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: you know, fundamentally day to day. I think Gobert deserve 349 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: that Defensive Player of the Year. There's no way Gobert 350 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: even considers blocking that shot. Doesn't get back there in 351 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: time to do something like that. Guys like Janis and 352 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: Lebron have such confidence in in their athleticism and in 353 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: their timing and all the things that make them so 354 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: physically great that they might be the only two players 355 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: in the league that would believe that on that play 356 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: they can finish it with a block shot. Chris Mannix 357 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated NBA senior writer. Should we be concer earned 358 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: about Chris Paul? If you're a Phoenix Suns fan, I 359 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: think a little bit, and not because I think there's 360 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: anything wrong with Chris Paul. I think that Drew Holliday 361 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: has had his number the last couple of games. And 362 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: you go back to Game three and Paul's numbers were fine. 363 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 1: I think it was eight to fourteen, nineteen points nine assists. 364 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: I'd been good game, but not It wasn't the takeover 365 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: type games he's had in the previous two games and 366 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: in previous series of these playoffs. Holiday did something in 367 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: that Game three, picking Chris Paul up at about three 368 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: quarter quart or more, and I think that put a 369 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: lot of strain on Chris Paul. I mean, Holiday is 370 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: a big, long, sturdy defender. I mean he's really good 371 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: at that position. I think the pressure he's put on 372 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: Chris Paul has generated some fatigue in him at this point. 373 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: And if you're in Milwaukee, you've got to feel like 374 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: that matchup is working for you. So I don't know 375 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: that it's an adjustment Chris Paul necessarily can make. But 376 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: if I'm Monty Williams, one of the things I'm doing 377 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: going into Game five is finding a way, whether it's 378 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: through early screens, bad movement, of getting Drew Holiday off 379 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: Chris Paul to get him back into a rhythm. Ending 380 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: update on the Ben Simmons trade market, not really. You know, 381 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: the Sixers I think we talked about this specifically, but 382 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: predictably are valuing Ben Simmons like he's basically like the 383 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: playoffs last year did this year didn't happen like that. 384 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: He is the All Star, two time All Star defense, 385 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: highly Ray defensive player, elite guy. And from what I 386 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: was told by one team that talked to Philadelphia, they're 387 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: not looking to take any steps back, like they want 388 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: dollar for dollar value or better on Ben Simmons in 389 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: a trade because justifiably, I mean, Philly looks at itself 390 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: and says, look, we got MB at the peak of 391 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: his powers, Tobias Harris had a great year. We got 392 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: enough shooting to help us win. They don't want to 393 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: trade for you know, younger players and draft picks. They 394 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: want a guy back in return that will help them 395 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: win a championship next season. And honestly, even though even 396 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: though Houston or Philadelphia is really able to deal with 397 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: twenty nine other teams because of Ben Simmons contract, I'm 398 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: not sure that's available to them right now. And I've 399 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,719 Speaker 1: said this to you before and it bears repeating. If 400 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: I'm Philadelphia, I'm just circling Portland like a vulture. I'm 401 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: just even if it takes you into next season, like 402 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: I want to see what the Portland Trailblazers do with 403 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard and CJ. McCollum, because it feels to me, 404 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: Dan like Portland is like one eleven and fifteen. Start 405 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: from saying, you know what, screw this, We're not good. 406 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: We gotta blow this thing up. We got to take 407 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: advantage of our stars having good contracts to trade while 408 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: we can. I'm if I'm Darryl Moorey, I'd hate to 409 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: deal Ben Simmons and then get to December and see 410 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 1: Portland put like an auction sign in front of their 411 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: office and say we're open for business. Thank you. Chris 412 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: is always saved travels. You got it, Dan Chris Mannox, 413 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: senior writer for Sports Illustrated covering the NBA Finals. Here 414 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: is the Greek freak talking about his great block last night. 415 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: Just hustle play. I thought I'm gonna get ducked one, 416 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but going down the streets, 417 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: just do whatever you know it takes to win the game. 418 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: You saw the play coming, so that Chris Chris pos 419 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: trying to love So I just I'm just gonna jump Vertico, 420 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, towards that him. Hopefully I can beat that 421 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: in time. How was that in time and I was 422 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: able to get a good block and go down and 423 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: get two points. Now I know that. Oh by the way, 424 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: Chris Middleton scored forty points and it shouldn't be an 425 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: Oh by the way, he had ten straight down the 426 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: stretch and helped lead the Box to that win last 427 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: night to even the series of two games a piece. McLevin, 428 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: did we settle on the poll question? Yeah, we put 429 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: up for fun, the greatest defensive play in a championship 430 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: series or a game. Now, the choices we put up 431 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: so far were the Mike Jones tackle and the Rams Titans, 432 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: the Malcolm Butler pick, the Jannis block, the Brombach. But 433 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: people are sending us a lot of nominations too. Okay, 434 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: Jordan's stealing the ball from Malone in the NBA Finals. Yeah, 435 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: because if that got lost because Mike hit the shot. 436 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: But to come up with the steal on Karl Malone 437 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: and then take it to the other end and score 438 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: and win a championship. That whole that the series of 439 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: plays they're defensively and offensively, we got a bunch of 440 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: and it's not a championship cap Jeter against the A's. 441 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: People love that play. Wait, but that was playoffs, right, 442 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: it was playoffs? Yeah, I mean it was remarkable. First 443 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: of all, it was a stupid play by Jeremy Giambi 444 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: because he didn't slide and he's probably thinking, well, Jeter's 445 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: not gonna get to the ball. He's not gonna backhand 446 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: the ball to home plate and then you get tagged out. 447 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: So I I'll give Jeter credit because he thought of 448 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: making the play, but I got to put a lot 449 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: of blame on Jeremy Giombi. Yeah, poem. I've always wondered 450 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: if Jeter actually helped that play at all, or just 451 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: helped himself, because that ball is going right towards home plays, 452 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: and I know he grabbed it and threw it and 453 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: he looks like a hero. But that ball, if you want, 454 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: I've watched the fifty times. It looks like that ball 455 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: was going to go to home play all on its own. 456 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he made it any faster 457 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: by catching and throwing, but it's sure worked out well 458 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: for Jeets. Of course you did watch. I want to 459 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: get on YouTube. A lot of people sent in multiple 460 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: Tayshaun Prince blocking Reggie Miller not in the finals with 461 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: I think there's like twenty seconds left in a big 462 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: playoff game. I can't do that to Redge, I know, 463 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: and I've watched the highlight Reggie called for the foul. 464 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: Of course, very adamilly, I might add, but actually, yeah, 465 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: there are a lot a lot for the Rams Titans game, 466 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: more than I expected. On Twitter, we'll see what the 467 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: poll results are. Well, and the Mike Jones play, I 468 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: don't think he's He's not. He's a yard away, they said, 469 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: but he's not really a yard away. But you know, okay, 470 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: that was That was a great an unpredictable super Bowl. 471 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: But Mike Jones with the stop, Okay, nothing compares to 472 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler. It just doesn't because you had practiced this 473 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Imagine Belichick says to Malcolm Butler, when you 474 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: see this, because earlier in the week he got burned 475 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: in practice as they're as they're preparing for the Seahawks, 476 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: and he said, if you see this in the game, 477 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: goes straight for the ball. And when we talked to 478 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: Butler after the Super Bowl, you know, two days later, 479 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: he said that they practiced this and he went right 480 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: towards the ball and it's not one of those where 481 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: you knocked the ball down, he intercepted the ball and 482 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: they ran out the clock and they won the Super Bowl. 483 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna get Belichick a lot of credit for 484 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: that because he said, if you see it, you know 485 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: exactly what you're supposed to do. You don't have time 486 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: to read the quarterbacks eyes, you don't have time to 487 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: look at the wider. It's just go right towards this spot. 488 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: And it was unbelievable. I don't know if there's been 489 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: a better defensive play because of what's at stake a 490 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and you go back and you take inventory 491 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: of Brady's super bowls, it could have gone either way, 492 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: like very easily could have won two more against the Giants, 493 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: or he could have two less. You know, Vinitari, Malcolm 494 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: Butler gotta have those moments where somebody helps you out, 495 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: and Brady is certainly benefited from that. Yeah, point, there's 496 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: a still pick when Butler's making the pick. Is it 497 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: curse on the catch trying to make the catch? Who 498 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: was it? I think it was. I think it was curse. 499 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: They both have their hands right there like it looks 500 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: like a jump ball, and then you see Butler snags 501 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: it pulls it and twists. It's fascinating. Curse is so surprised, 502 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: like he's he's thinking like is this another teammate like 503 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: he I don't think he can process this of what 504 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: just happened because he was such a bang bang play. 505 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: Is it, Curse PAULI, Yeah, yeah it is. And uh, 506 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler actually has a little side business where he 507 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: signs autographs for that play. Oh they have a picture 508 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: of him with the ball and hey, I don't know 509 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: what happened. And you know, after that Super Bowl in 510 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: another Super Bowl with him, but against Philadelphia, but that 511 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: moment and that stands, that'll stand the test at time. 512 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: And to be there underneath the goal post because I 513 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: think Seattle's winning. And then that's when they bring out 514 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: the uh you know, the platform where you're gonna go 515 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: up there and you're gonna hand out the trophy. I'm thinking, Okay, 516 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: is Marshawn Lynch gonna score touchdown? Is who's gonna be 517 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: the MVP? Pete Carroll's going to be on the stand? 518 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Is Paul Allen the owner actually gonna come down to 519 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: the podium like all these things I'm thinking because I'm 520 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: watching Marshawn Lynch right underneath the goal post, and I 521 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: look and I'm just keeping my eye on more Shan Lynch. 522 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: And then the ball is snapped and all of a sudden, 523 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Rusk gets ready to throw and I say, in real time, oh, bleep, 524 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: because I'm thinking, you don't want to throw it over 525 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: the middle because it could get tipped. That's the only 526 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: thing I thought of. And then you see it, and 527 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: I thought Malcolm Butler just knocked the ball down, and 528 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: then I realized Malcolm Butler has the ball. And then 529 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: there was chaos because the Seahawks, I remember Gront nearly 530 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: got into a fight like it was wild in the 531 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: end zone there and You're going, oh my god. And 532 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: then I start to now go, okay, now I got Brady, 533 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: is Malcolm Butler, the MVP, Robert Kraft, Belichick will be there? 534 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: Who else is going to be up here? Like you 535 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: start to do that because I've only got about a 536 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: minute of game time before you're ready, and then you 537 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: have to do these interviews. Yeampo the receiver is actually Riccardo. 538 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: Lockett was on the goal line play, but to a 539 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: couple of plays before had a great play. First had 540 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: a great play, you know how you're saying, great players 541 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: get wiped away. But Butler tipped along thirty five yard 542 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: pass and first caught it, picked up and kept running yep, 543 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: And we would remember. That's almost like Julio Jones. You 544 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: would remember there was an unbelievable catch because he's down 545 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: on the ground and if tyree, if the Giants don't 546 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: score that touchdown, then that would be one of those Oh, 547 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: by the way, well that was incredible. Oh yeah, that 548 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: guy caught the ball with his helmet. There, Paul, and 549 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: Wisconsin leads his song. Hi, Paul, what's on your mind? 550 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: What's going on? Hey? Hey, first time caller five to 551 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: eleven three Bill, but you're there? Yeah, Hello, Hey Paul. Hey, hey, 552 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: I just want to say, DP, it's an honor talking 553 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: to you. I grew up with you, Stuart Scott, Linda Zone, 554 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: Chris Berman, all those guys. But hey, I just want 555 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: to say that block with Jannis was. I don't know 556 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: if it'll I don't know if it'll be as pivotable 557 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: pivotable as Lebrons, but I think it was huge. I 558 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: think it was big, big, big, because I think the 559 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: Bucks got it. I I really do for a long time. 560 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: I thought that the Suns had it, but I think 561 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: it's the Bucks now. All right, well, thank you Paul. 562 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: I appreciate that summary there, but yeah, it was a big, 563 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: big play by Pivotal pivot spotle. It's all right, I've 564 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: been making his way home stuff, and hopefully Paul can 565 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: join us to recap game five of the Suns in 566 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: the Bucks. Yes, Toun, I don't know how you don't matter. 567 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: Thank you time by accident at that moment. Thank you, Paul. Yes, 568 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: somehow the twitterers have taken over this topic and expanded 569 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: it beyond championships, tall playoffs and one being sent in 570 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,959 Speaker 1: that is greater as great as all of these, and 571 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tease it. It's so good that you're not 572 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: thinking of Okay, now, are we factoring in a championship 573 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: titles at stake? And no, it was not a championship series, 574 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: but a title was determined by this play. Okay, all right, 575 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: so it's it's a series before they got to the championship. Yes, wow, 576 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: well that's it's a good one. And I don't think 577 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: because it's not championship you probably hadn't thought of it. 578 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: But of course you know the play very well. Okay, 579 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. We have that coming 580 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: up and our play of the day and your phone 581 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: calls Age seven seven three d P show.

I know, well, 614 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: I remember it completely different than past. How about Larry 615 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: Bird steals the inbounds pass against the Piston. That was 616 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: that was pretty special. I thought it was Game seven. 617 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: I guess it was. It was not Game seven, but 618 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: the Celtics went on to win the series. Then they 619 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: lost to the Lakers in the finals. So well, the 620 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: play is great. You didn't think Bird would be able 621 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: to do it. You're gonna lose it home and the 622 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: call was great, and and it's Larry Bird in the 623 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: Boston Garden a DJ and and having been there and 624 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: covering that and then gone into the locker room. And 625 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: then that's when you had the controversy after the Celtics 626 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: won with Dennis Rodman and Isaiah Thomas, and uh, that's 627 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: where you had the awkward moment where Bird has to 628 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: like a hastily called press conference starting the NBA Finals 629 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: where he has to say he's okay with Rodman and 630 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: Isaiah saying that if if Bird was black, he'd be 631 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: just another basketball player or whatever. Uh, just awkward everything 632 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, mclovin a similar one that we're getting 633 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: a lot of tweets about Havlizech stole the ball. That's 634 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: all the call though, I'm looking at he just tipped it. 635 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: That wasn't that. That wasn't a great defensive player. I 636 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 1: mean he tipped the ball, but I don't know who 637 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: got the ball, Like Sam Jones got it. The person 638 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: who got the ball. You can tip the ball if 639 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: nobody gets it. Or the you know, the opposition gets it. 640 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: Then the ball, all right, he didn't really steal the ball, 641 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,919 Speaker 1: he tipped it, but it's Celtic lore. You know, it's 642 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: Johnny Mose. Therefore it's a bigger deal. Yes, I mean, 643 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: I guess if we're just taking to account the era, 644 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: that's a hell of an athletic play. Yes, boy, here's 645 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,919 Speaker 1: one that I don't think history is gonna be great 646 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,240 Speaker 1: to people that you know, it's gonna be remembered locally. 647 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Graham strip sack of Brady in the Super Bowl. 648 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: I don't know how much time was on the clock, 649 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: but Brady had the ball and they were going to 650 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: run down and try to beat the Eagles. Brandon Graham 651 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 1: reached in strip sack Brady and basically ended that game. Um, 652 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: how about Jeffrey Mayer? How good was that defensive play? Clutch? Yeah, No, 653 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 1: like he would have been Bartman. Is that a defensive player? 654 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: Offensive play? They counted the home runner? Right? Yeah, Well 655 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: he had to play defense for an offensive moment and 656 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: he had admit too, a typical two hundred yard, two 657 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: hundred foot Derek Jeter home rinning Yankees style. But imagine 658 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: you're the umpire. Who is it? Rich Garcia was see 659 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 1: the umpire where you're right there, like you're down the 660 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: right field line and you somehow miss that call. By 661 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 1: the way, and I'm hearing from Phoenix Suns fans about 662 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: the so called egregious foul on Devin Booker. I think 663 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: if that had been turned around, let's say Drew Holiday 664 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: did that to Devin Booker. Do I think Drew Holiday 665 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: gets called for a foul in The answer is yes, 666 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 1: I do. You know the reps don't want to foul 667 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: out star players, and Devin Booker had five fouls. It 668 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: is it a an egregious act by him? No, it's not. 669 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: But if Phoenix had won, that would be the story. 670 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 1: That would be the story today that somehow Phoenix Suns 671 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: got away with one Devon book Or got to stay 672 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: in the game. And now I didn't do anything in 673 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, but part of that was due to 674 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: foul trouble. And he was shooting mid range jumpers. I know, 675 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 1: these are little small things that probably you go, yeah, 676 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: who cares I do, because he didn't. He wasn't taking threes, 677 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: he was taking mid range jumpers. And this is what 678 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: Chris Paul has been able to do his entire career. 679 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, that mid range jumper. It's weird how we 680 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: don't defend the mid range jumper. You go, you're not 681 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,240 Speaker 1: getting to the hoop and you're not shooting the three. 682 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 1: Oh you want to take a mid range jumper, Well, 683 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: I'll take two right. It's it's like a wide receiver 684 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: who's gonna get a like a seven yard catch, and 685 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 1: you go, yeah, you can have that all day. But 686 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: then after a while you go, oh my god, how 687 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: many catches does he have? And they keep moving the ball. 688 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 1: Devin Booker was shooting mid range jumpers last night, thirty 689 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: eight of his forty two in the first three quarters. 690 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 1: He asked me, club, but it's not like they're easy 691 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: midrange jumpers. But it feels like the defense does relax 692 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 1: a little bit. He floats. He floats a lot. Chris Paul. 693 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: It always feels like they're like, yeah, go ahead and 694 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: take those little nine footers, go ahead and take those, 695 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 1: And then you look up and you go, oh my god, 696 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: he's got X number of points here. Now it's the 697 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 1: mid range jumper. There's a bias against the mid range jumper. 698 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: Fritzie is sending me the note that it was rich Garcia. 699 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: The right field umpire immediately ruled a home run that 700 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: tied the game, despite the protest of the Orioles, and 701 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: then Davy Johnson, the Oils manager, was later ejected from that. 702 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,280 Speaker 1: Tony Tarasco was the right fielder. This is nineteen ninety six. 703 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: The Yankees and Jets were trailing four to three in 704 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: the bottom of the eighth inning, and then Derek Kjeta 705 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: hit a deep flyball. Well, it's not a deep flyball 706 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: to right field. It was flyball to right field. And 707 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: then Jeffrey Mayer he reached over the fence, and he 708 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: did reach over. He does I beholder? Yes? True. While 709 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: baseball fans are permitted to catch and keep balls hid 710 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: into the stands, major League Baseball rule Book states that 711 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 1: spectator interference is to be called if a spectator reaches 712 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: out of the stands or goes onto the playing field 713 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: and touches a live ball. I think we could all 714 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: agree that he didn't reach over. That doesn't the storyline down, No, 715 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: it does not. H didn't Jeffrey Mayor play high school baseball. 716 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: I got an autograph picture of that play. I don't 717 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: know if I got it from Jeffrey Mayor. I don't 718 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 1: even know where it is in the man cave, but 719 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: that's one of those crazy plays James in Virginia. James, 720 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? Good morning? Brella 721 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: had Thursday. Man, what a great game last night. Man, 722 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,879 Speaker 1: But I gotta say this man a book and doesn't 723 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: getting bounce. But I don't know if the Bucks win, 724 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna go seven for sure, and 725 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Sons in five. That played by 726 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: Jannis Man. It was a great play, but I still 727 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: taking lebron James block and I think it's like the 728 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 1: sixteen finals against if you're barely on that break, because 729 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: that definitely saved the game for them. Man, hands down, 730 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: one of the greatest plays I've ever seen. But it's 731 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: gonna be exciting going forth. Oh and he had a 732 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: great bounce pass, so that bounce passed for the three 733 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: was beautiful, I think on the break. But hey, man, 734 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm taking off there. I can't wait to see what happens. Man. 735 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: Y'all have a great day. Man. Thank you. Always great 736 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,760 Speaker 1: to hear from you. James. Nobody's more excited than James 737 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: from Virginia, nobody. Terry in New York joines, hy, Terry, 738 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey? How are you doing the day? 739 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 1: The good sir good Man like to let you know, man, 740 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: when you guys are on vacation, my work week as 741 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: long anyway, I Devin Booker man as good as he 742 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: played last night. He notified his game when he got 743 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 1: that stupid frustration foul because they didn't get the out 744 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: of bounds call on Tucker. Yeah, and it totally threw 745 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,439 Speaker 1: him off. Then well, I remember when he had thirty 746 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: eight the end of that court. I said, well, Devin 747 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: Booker is going to get fifty, and he ended up 748 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: with forty two. I believe it would have won by 749 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: six or eight points if he didn't do that. Man. Yeah, well, 750 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: you know he had to come out of the game 751 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: and thank you, Terry. And it makes you played differently. 752 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: You played defensively because you don't want to get that 753 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: that sixth foul, and even the foul that you had, 754 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: it was a bad foul that that was not called. Uh, 755 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 1: let me see, can we get a nap? I don't. 756 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: I don't have time up against the break.
