Speaker 1: Big week of seeing live basketball. Demons went to see

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: the thunder take on the South Bay Lakers on Tuesday night,

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: and I might be going. I think I am going

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: tonight to see the Celtics take on the Knicks. One

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: funny anecdote about that before we get to the show.

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: So I have never gotten The only free Knicks tickets

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: I've ever gotten has been if Fox gave me tickets

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: like the Knicks. And I've never asked the Knicks for tickets.

28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: I've never gotten tickets from the Knicks. But one of

29
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: my dear friends is legendary comedian and voice artist Hanka's Area,

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: the guy who does the voices of basically every secondary

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: character on The Simpsons. He does the voices for and

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: does more than that, but that's the maybe what he's

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: most known for. At this point, I played cards with him.

34
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: He's it's his charity poker tournaments that I've played in

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: and won like I and Hank is one of the greatest,

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: one of the greatest guys in the world. And very

37
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: often when I'm at Knicks games, I see him. The

38
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: last time I was at a Knicks game, or a

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: couple times ago, he and Ben Stiller were together, and

40
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: you know, we said hello to everybody, like he's there

41
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: a lot. He's a huge Mets fan, Knicks fan, whatever,

42
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: and he and I were chatting and I asked and

43
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: I was like, so how do I was like, do

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: you have season tickets whatever it is?

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: And I don't know.

46
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he maybe I shouldn't tell a story.

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm telling I'm too deep. Uh but

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: he's like legit famous, like a legit famous guy. And

49
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: he's like, well, he's like, you know if the sometimes

50
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: if the Knicks have tickets like they you know, they

51
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: give them to me at times. Is basically what he

52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: told me. I was like, Oh, that's you know, that's

53
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: what they do for you know, they have celebrity roads

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: whole thing. And he asked, He asked me, He's like,

55
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: how do you get yours? I was like a Sea

Speaker 1: wife's a Knicks fan. It could be fun. I sent.

62
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: I thought a pretty nice text check this morning left

63
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: on red all right, good to Sea Geek promo code

64
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: right ten. It is so the you know that is I.

65
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, I guess my version of shooting my shot.

66
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Such is life. And you know we move on to

67
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: the next one. I I uh and I I, well,

68
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: Fox doesn't have the NBA, you know I the Royals

69
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: are about to play at the Yankees next week. That's

70
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: more of something I kind of Fox for Yeah, because

71
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: Fox has baseball like you know the and so that's

72
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: maybe and a Royals Yankees ticket probably less of a

73
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: marquee item than Nick Celtics with Jason Tatum's return to MSG.

74
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: But listen, as great as our friends at Seaki Gart,

75
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: tickets to the Garden not cheap. The not cheap at all.

76
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: Like I bought the monse pretty good seats to Lakers Thunder,

77
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: and you would think of Staples Center Lakers expensive ticket

78
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: not compared to d MSG MSG is it's not quite

79
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: World Cup prices, but it ain't cheap. Uh. But you

80
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: know what, such his life? Uh so uh, I should

81
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: be going to Nick Celtics tonight with your mom. The

82
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: question is whether or not what I'm gonna have to

83
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: do the always impossible. Yeah, I don't need two tickets,

84
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: I need three tickets because your baby sister needs to

85
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: go and then if you buy three, it's really sometimes

86
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: you just basically have to buy four because nobody buys threes.

87
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Not great, but you know what, they're bigger problems. Straight

88
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: to voicemail, brought to you by Boost Mobile. Cad back

89
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: quick as return from a collapsed lung. I've ever heard

90
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: of records a double double on his return. However, he

91
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: can only get to sixty four games. However, he's gonna

92
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: file an appeal. I don't know the Mammoth unveils the Zamoth.

93
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I don't know what either. I

94
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: know Mammoth is a hockey team. I don't know what

95
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: the Zamath is is that there's Zamboni Boni's at the

96
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: Zamboni's theme, mam themes Amboni. I'm gonna guess yes, and

97
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: more drawn between Giannis and the Bucks. This is the

98
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: longest breakup any of us have ever been exposed to. Reminded,

99
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: everybody like rate subscribe review to the show, put your

100
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: questions in the chat and we will hopefully get to

101
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: some of them in tomorrow's mailback episode. All Right Tomante

102
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Celtics Next.

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: Tatum returns to MSG tonight for his first time since

104
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: tearing his achilles last year in the playoffs. He's not

105
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: thrilled about going back. It's a little traumatic, but he

106
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: wants to go about it now because they might be

107
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: able to see them in the second round. What do

108
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: you think of his approach?

109
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: So I had a hunch on because the Celtics play

110
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: back to back. They play tonight and tomorrow, and he's

111
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: not yet allowed to play back to backs, so we

112
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: very easily could miss this game and then play tomorrow.

113
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: And I had a hunch that I've since confirmed that

114
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: it was very intentional that he is playing this game

115
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: rather than tomorrow's game because he doesn't want the first

116
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: game back to be a playoff game, the first game

117
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: back in that building. And so a couple things on

118
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: that one is, I really do feel it is good

119
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: fortune for the Celtics and for Jason Tatum individually that

120
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: this game was still on their schedule, like they only

121
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: play at MSG a couple times a year. If both

122
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: of those games were early in the season, then he

123
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: wasn't going to get this opportunity to play at MSG

124
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: before it's a playoff game, and it would have you know,

125
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: if the Celtics Knicks play in the playoffs, it almost

126
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: assuredly will be round two. It would be you know,

127
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: their very eerie and you know, I think uncomfortable for

128
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Jason in that it would be around a year ago

129
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: to the day, same round, same opponent, like all of that.

130
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: And so I think it's really good that he is

131
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: playing this game. I also think it is really interesting.

132
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: Demon's how publicly open and honest Jason Tatum has been

133
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: throughout this entire process. And if you guys saw his

134
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: answer on this specific thing about coming back, it was

135
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: a level of honest vulnerability that was surprising, like that

136
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, I I it would not have at

137
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: all been shocking if Jason Tatum lied, if he just said, like, uh, yeah,

138
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm it's the next game, the you know,

139
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: they're the building, isn't what caused my injury, like even

140
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: if he felt funny about it, to just try to

141
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: pretend he didn't. And I think right, and I think

142
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: that every piece of this has been unique. I also

143
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: it is his return has been stunning and how quickly

144
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: he is playing thirty five minutes a game, how quickly

145
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: his numbers are if you watch it the rough, yes,

146
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: but then but really since then it's been If you

147
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: watch it, it doesn't look like peaked Tapatum. But so

148
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: here is minutes played since his return, and his return

149
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: was just over a month ago. Twenty seven, twenty seven,

150
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: twenty seven, took a game off, thirty two, thirty two,

151
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty one, thirty one, thirty five, thirty seven,

152
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: thirty one, took a game off, thirty seven, thirty one,

153
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: thirty four, thirty nine, just played thirty nine minutes in

154
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: the Hornets game. And then you add to it Demanse

155
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: in the last five games. So the Tatum's numbers his

156
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: first ten games back from the injury was they were fine.

157
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: He was twenty points, nine and a half rebounds, four assists, uh,

158
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: but couldn't hit a three. Was thirty eight percent from

159
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: the field, thirty percent from three, And if he had

160
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: stayed at that level, it still felt like, well, you know,

161
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: he's taking minutes from Baylor Shireman and such like. That's

162
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: it's a net positive, but you weren't getting the full

163
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: impact of it.

164
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: Right.

165
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: His numbers in the last five games that he's played

166
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: where the Celtics are five and zero twenty five a night,

167
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: ten rebounds, eight assists, forty nine percent from the field

168
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: and forty one percent from three. Now, some of that

169
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: is maybe, you know, just a little hot shooting, because

170
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: he's not a forty one percent career three point shooter,

171
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: but he's thirty seven percent. Like he you know, he's

172
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: a good career three point shooter. But him being this

173
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: impactful this quickly is stunning. And I do feel like

174
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: Tonight's game is the final check point for him, like

175
00:11:53,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: being like fully back mentally, oh, the final mental check No,

176
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see first team All NBA

177
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: MVP candidate Jason Tatum probably until the beginning of next season,

178
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: but he seems to already be All Star Jason Tatum.

179
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: And that's unbelievable, and it's why I think. It's why

180
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm so confident in Boston making the finals and I

181
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: think being the safest bet to win the championship. So

182
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: let's talk about that for a minute here.

183
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: Who do you think is the biggest threat to them

184
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: out on the East Side.

185
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: You know, I know the Knicks beat him last year,

186
00:12:53,440 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: and I know the Knicks built a team specifically to

187
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: counteract Boston, But I don't think it's the Knicks. I

188
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: think the biggest threat is actually Detroit. Yeah, I think.

189
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: I don't think I have enough defense in my opinion.

190
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: I well, and that's where maybe they missed Tibbs. And

191
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: the Knicks have had a solid year, but I think

192
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: it's been a disappointing solid year like that. They were

193
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be the team. Detroit wasn't supposed to be

194
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: this good this quickly. Boston was supposed to be in

195
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: a bit of a you know, transition year. The and

196
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland you know, made a mid season massive trade because

197
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: they weren't happy with where they were going. The Knicks

198
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: have been healthy, and the Knicks, the Knicks were supposed

199
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: to be flirting with sixty wins like Detroit is rather

200
00:13:54,040 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: than low low, mid fifties. And Detroit's ability to sustain

201
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: without Caid and find real another offensive creator and Danis

202
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: Jenkins that now when Caid is not, you know, not

203
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: on the court, maybe the offense doesn't go to die,

204
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: I think is super important for them. I also want

205
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: to add one other thing, and this is and I

206
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: don't want to step on things we're doing later in

207
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: the show, but here's the other intriguing piece of tonight's

208
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: game on the Knicks side of things. The Knicks right

209
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: now are fifty one and twenty eight and the Calves

210
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: are fifty one and twenty nine, so they are just

211
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: a half game up on the Calves. Now, what they

212
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: do have is the season series, so if they finished

213
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: with the same record, the Knicks get the better seed.

214
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: But here's where and maybe I'm let me tell me

215
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: what you think here. Who do you think the Knicks

216
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: would rather play in Round two? Boston or Detroit? I mean,

217
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: oh so I did I disagree. I think they'd rather

218
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: play Detroit, even though they beat Boston in the playoffs

219
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: last year. I because they they also beat Detroit in

220
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year for whatever to worth. Now, Detroit

221
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: has owned them this regular season, but I don't know how.

222
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: And I just see like the wear down of facing

223
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: Detroit and then having to go to Boston.

224
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but the flip side is you play Boston,

225
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have to play Detroit. You just lose.

226
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: And so the here's the reason I'm I ask it.

227
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: After tonight, the Knicks have Toronto and Charlotte left, two

228
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: teams that need those games for seating purposes. Let's just

229
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: assume and the Knicks are the favorite tonight, So I'm

230
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: not saying they're necessarily going to lose. If the Knicks

231
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: lose tonight and Cleveland ties them in the standings, it

232
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: certainly becomes very on the board that Cleveland jumps up

233
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: to three. Cleveland's final games are at Atlanta and then

234
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: home for Washington, and you can't lose that Washington game

235
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: if you want to, because of what I know about

236
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: the Wizards is they're not winning Game eighty two and

237
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: screwing up, you know, any of their lottery odds after

238
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: they've you know, thrown this entire season in the garbage.

239
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: Right now, that Washington has the worst record in basketball,

240
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: they have one less than the Pacers, you're gonna have

241
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: to pry these losses from their cold, dead hands. So

242
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: it is the Knicks might fall to four. I don't

243
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: know how bad that is for them, and but I

244
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: guess the flip side of that is how much does

245
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland want to move up to three. I'm not sure

246
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: on that either, but I think I just think not.

247
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: I think I will be shocked if the Celtics don't

248
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: end up in the finals now against the thunder they

249
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: would be decided Vegas underdogs in those finals. Yeah, and

250
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: against anyone they well, I shouldn't say against anyone against

251
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: the Thunder or the Spurs, they would not have home

252
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: court advantage in the finals. I just also think whoever

253
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: comes out of the West is going to have been

254
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: through such a gauntlet that Boston could be pretty well positioned.

255
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: And I understand listen Vegas disagrees with me. Vegas has

256
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: our friends at hard Rock Bet has Boston at plus

257
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: five point fifty and Okac at damn near even money.

258
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bet is almost putting Oka se versus the field.

259
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: They're plus one twenty, so they only have the Field

260
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: as tiny favorites over Oka. See. I think Boston at

261
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: plus five point fifty is a bet bet. I bet

262
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: the Celtics at eleven to one for a little bit

263
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: when I thought Tatum was coming back, and at nine

264
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: to one for a fair amount when I knew Tatum

265
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: was coming back. And I think they are. I think

266
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: they are the safest bet to be in the finals,

267
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: and I think I'll be taking them if they get

268
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: to the finals. With all that said, I should give

269
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: the Knicks. If the Celtics are full strength tonight and

270
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: the Knicks win that game, it does basically for the

271
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: Knicks all but lock up the three seed. They're not

272
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna fall to four. If they win tonight, they would

273
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: have to, you know, lose each of their final two

274
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: games and have Cleveland win its final two games. And

275
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 1: then maybe the Knicks feel a little disrespected by this,

276
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: be like we beat you last year in the playoffs,

277
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: we can do it again.

278
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: I just.

279
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,639

316
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: All right, Demante, let's talk about everybody's favorite rule, the

317
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: sixty five game rule.

318
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: The sixty five game rule looks to claim another life

319
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 3: in Wimby as he deals with his rib injury, so

320
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: he has to play twenty more minutes to be eligible

321
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 3: for their awards. But San Antonio is already locked into

322
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 3: the two seed. Do you think it says anything about

323
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: Wimby if he chases this?

324
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that he's human, like this is the

325
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: This is such an impossible position. The Spurs and Wimby

326
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: now find themselves in that Wimby's defensive Player of the

327
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Year case, all NBA case, an MVP balloting case, should

328
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: not at all be contingent on him playing one more

329
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: game this season. When the Spurs are locked into their seed,

330
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: they and I personally would argue it might be in

331
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: so their games left Dallas and then Denver. Now, maybe

332
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: you could argue they want another shot at Denver, having

333
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: you know, lost the way they did, and maybe you

334
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: can argue that the last guy you want to play

335
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: with bruised ribs is Joker banging into you throughout the night,

336
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: and that you don't want to give Denver another scout,

337
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: another look at what your team looks like, you know

338
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: at and how to guard Wimby, how to do things.

339
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: And so if this rule didn't exist, I think it's

340
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: pretty clear Wimby would sit the final two games. He

341
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: would be the unanimous Defensive Player of the Year winner,

342
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: he would finish at best second and at worse fourth

343
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: in MVP voting, and he would be a close to

344
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: unanimous first team All MBA guy. But now, because it

345
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: does exist, he's got to go out there and play.

346
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: Now Here is the thing, The part of the rule

347
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: that everybody I think liked was, we do want these

348
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: guys out there playing. We want stars to play. We

349
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: want you know, guys not to be resting and load managing.

350
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Got it. But there is a big distinction between preemptive

351
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: and precautionary rest and a guy who just got banged

352
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: up and the team has literally nothing to play for

353
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: because of what they've earned. It's not like they have

354
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: nothing to play for because they're locked into the seventh

355
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: seed because they've been mediocre all year. They are damn

356
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: near ten games up on Denver for the for the

357
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: two seed, and they're gonna win sixty plus games, but

358
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: they just can't catch the thunder. So this is a

359
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: vintage rest spot. But Wimby wants the awards, and I'm

360
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: not gonna listen. I'm not criticizing him for that. I

361
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: think everybody wants awards, everybody, and now he has been

362
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: I've been a little, not even critical, but I've you know,

363
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: I have found him openly campaigning for the awards to

364
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: be you know, let's call it unique. But I have

365
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: no problem at all with him saying I want to

366
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: win these damn awards. And here's the other piece of it.

367
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: There is tens of millions of dollars tied to him

368
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: winning these awards because of what his his second contract

369
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: looks like as far as super max eligibility and the

370
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: different check marks you need, as far as winning Defensive

371
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: Player of the Year or being All NBA, all those things.

372
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: So there's real reason for him to want these things.

373
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: From a legacy and from a pure, you know, fifty perspective,

374
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: So I get all of that. I also think you're

375
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: playing with a little fire here and demons. I so

376
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: the the.

377
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: Being with fire like on the NBA side, like what

378
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 3: the rule? Right?

379
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: No?

380
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: With if the spurs, Oh yeah, yeah.

381
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: The I mean it's a total catastrophe. If he goes

382
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: out there and act like react evates this bruised rib or,

383
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: it gets worse and he's not himself. And I I

384
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: am not I do not want to be aggregated here,

385
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: but it struck me as curious. How so let me,

386
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: you know what, let me put it like this to

387
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: try to prevent the aggregation. Just lay out facts for folks.

388
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: The sixty five game rule is complicated. It seems like

389
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: it's simple. It's not. Let me give you an example

390
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: of how complicated it is. Devin Booker this year has

391
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: played sixty four games. The Suns this year have two

392
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: games remaining. Devin Booker is not going to be eligible

393
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: for any awards, Like, wait, what he's played sixty four?

394
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: They have two games left because the sixty five game

395
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: rule only counts games you play at least fifteen minutes.

396
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, you're only allowed two games where

397
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: you play less than twenty minutes, So there are for

398
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: a game to count, you need to shorthand is you

399
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: gotta play twenty minutes. However, twice a year you're allowed

400
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: to near miss where you play fifteen through nineteen. They'll

401
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: count that, but they won't count more than that. Devin

402
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: Booker's played sixty four, but two of those games he

403
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: got hurt early and played less than ten. So for

404
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: the rules purposes, he's played sixty two. If he plays

405
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: two more, he won't get there. So that's like a

406
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: complex piece of it. Now here's another reason it's complex. Wimby,

407
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: if you look at his basketball reference page, has played

408
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: sixty three. Everyone's saying he only needs to play one more. Well,

409
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: that would only be sixty four because his basketball reference

410
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: page does not count the NBA Cup Final, which was

411
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: doesn't count for your season stats, but it does count

412
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: for the sixty five game rule. However, Wimby, the game

413
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Wimby got hurt in would not have counted demonse if

414
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: he didn't come back in. So that's what I find curious.

415
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Wimby got hurt in that Sixers game, having played ten minutes.

416
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: He then comes back in plays five more to just

417
00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: barely clear the fifteen minute threshold and then lee the

418
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: game for good. Now, we saw when the injury got reaggravated.

419
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, he like bumped into Embiid. But would the

420
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: Spurs have been even more cautious in that game and

421
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: not put him back out there if he didn't need

422
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: it a few more minutes to qualify? But I don't know.

423
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: A weird spot and it's just such a weird spot.

424
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: And Silver has said that he wouldn't change the rule.

425
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: Do you think that there's a chance that after the

426
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 3: end of this season that he changes it and he

427
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 3: just wants the guys to continue to finish the season out.

428
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: I I don't listen Windy, not Windy Windy. Brian Windhors

429
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: has made the point it's working, guys are playing more,

430
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: and you know, the league, the players agreed to it,

431
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But there are certain elements of it

432
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: that I think are pretty outrageous.

433
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: Like spent twenty the difference of twenty minutes, that's pretty stupid.

434
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Well, and it's all so Cad Cunningham Demonse played sixty

435
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: of the pistons first sixty seven games. He was awesome

436
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: he missed the front end of a back to back

437
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: In March, he missed a couple games. I forgot what

438
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: the injury was in but missed back to back games

439
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: in January and he had I think it was an ankle.

440
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: In November he missed a week, but he had played

441
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: sixty of sixty seven games. He then got a puncture,

442
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: sorry puncture, collapsed lung and had to miss two weeks.

443
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: Came back faster than expected from the punctured lung, and

444
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: now he is, unless they make an exception, going to

445
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: be ineligible. Anthony Edwards was not load managing at all

446
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: this year. Anthony Edwards got banged up the first week

447
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: of the season and missed a week and a half. However,

448
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: he played fifty eight of their first sixty eight games.

449
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: He then hurt his knee and now is not going

450
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: to be eligible. Those like it feels very flimsy that

451
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: guys who were consistently available for their team suffered one

452
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: significant injury and then came back that those guys are

453
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: going to be ineligible. I you know, I have been

454
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: promoting that Adam wave it this year, but he's not

455
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: going to And you know, I didn't even Luca is,

456
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: I ain't going to get his appeal granted because the

457
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: birth of a child on a different continent is not

458
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 1: what this rule is about. I don't know that Kate is.

459
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know that Anthony Edwards has an appeal.

460
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: Just sucks and the other like it's also here's the

461
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: other thing that nobody is. You know, luckily it's not

462
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: going to come to fruition. But Joker's not eligible yet.

463
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: So like Joker as great, he's played sixty four games,

464
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: They've got what do they have two games left? Right?

465
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: So there is a scenario where Joker at do they

466
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: have two or three games left? They have two games left.

467
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: There's a scenario where Joker in the opening minutes of

468
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: the Thunder game against Oklahoma City, Lou Dor does his

469
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: old bowling ball spinning back heel thing you know, gets

470
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Joker in the kidneys and Joker has to leave that

471
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: game and is not available in game eighty two, and

472
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: then he's not going to be eligible for this thing

473
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: for anything.

474
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: It's just what do you think is the nightmare scenario

475
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 3: for the all for the NBA if the All NBA

476
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: top guys can't make it?

477
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: Well?

478
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 3: Or was that the nightmare scenario, Joker.

479
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean that so that Wimby and Joker are not eligible. Yeah,

480
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: Luca doesn't win his appeal, Cad and Aunt are not eligible.

481
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: And in that scenario, you could argue that the six

482
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: best seasons this year, five of the six are not

483
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: eligible for anything except for by the way, you only

484
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: have to play fIF fifty eight games to be the

485
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: score to be the statistical champ. So like Luca, if

486
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: his appeal isn't granted, is going to win the scoring

487
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: title and not be on an All NBA team. And Joker,

488
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: if something were to happen to him tomorrow night and

489
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: be knocked out of that game early and not play

490
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: the next game, would win the Rebounds and Assists championship

491
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 1: and not be so you would have the scoring, rebounds

492
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: and assist champ. Wimby's going to be the blocks champ.

493
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Right if those it's just I don't know, it's pretty ridiculous.

494
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: Uh, like the Pro Bowl stuff, which we can't go.

495
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: You can't have the All NBA right become Pro Bowl.

496
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: We just can't. All. Right, let's talk Lakers, so we.

497
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: Get Classic bron and Steph throw it back tonight, throw

498
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 3: it back tonight. It's crazy. But yeah, so are we

499
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 3: in for some mid twenty tens fireworks tonight or do

500
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: you think that Lebron was lying when he said that

501
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 3: I can still do this bleep?

502
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think Lebron. Listen. I think Lebron's gonna

503
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: play his ass off tonight. Yeah, And it's on the board.

504
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: Demon's potentially the last time they face each other if

505
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: they get.

506
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: Right. If Lebron goes to Golden State next year, so

507
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: this could be their final matchup against each other. And

508
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: now I don't think Lebron's going to Golden State, but

509
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: I also can't dismiss it as a possibility. But I

510
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: think Lebron will play his ass off tonight. And I

511
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: think that the Warriors are in a very weird motivational

512
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: space in that they are and have been for a

513
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: bit now, just locked into the ten seed and they

514
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: can't even it's not even like they can rally and

515
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: be like, let's at least finish at five hundred, because

516
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 1: they already have forty two losses. Now, with that said,

517
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: Steph and Draymond are going to try to you know,

518
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: seeing Lebron across the court will get them up for

519
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: the game, and Lebron being way undermanned against a Warriors

520
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: team is something he's quite used to. But I I

521
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: would I don't know what the hard Rock odds on

522
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: this would be, but I would say a thirty point

523
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: triple double for Lebron is very on the board tonight.

524
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, tonight being Lebron's final career

525
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: forty point game is on the board as well, Like

526
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: I think that that is ye sick. And I also

527
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: think the Lakers. The Lakers don't want to go into

528
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs losing five out of six. Now. The reason

529
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying five out of six is their game eighty

530
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: two is Utah. And again, you can pry these losses

531
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: out of Utah's cold, dead hands, but you're not getting them.

532
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: So I do believe the Lakers will beat the Jazz

533
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: in Game eighty two and they play the Suns in

534
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Game eighty one. The Suns at that point will almost

535
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: assuredly be locked in to the seventh spot, so maybe

536
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: they won't care about it like it's a weird. The Lakers'

537
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: final three games are teams who are essentially locked into

538
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: their playoff spot Warriors ten, Sun seven and or the Jazz,

539
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: who are desperately trying to make sure they don't move

540
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: ahead of the Kings in you know, worse lottery odds,

541
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: and so they you know, they could win any of

542
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: these games. It depends really, the Sun's game depends on

543
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, how much the Suns want it. But the

544
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: entirety of the Lakers season hopes are hanging by the

545
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: thread of can this Spanish medicine that Luca is getting

546
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: administered initiate a really crazy recovery time? Like they're not

547
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: winning a playoff series without their two leading scorers and

548
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: Luke in ar. Now Lebron can assume that scoring role,

549
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: but the defense suffers and they just don't have enough

550
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: around him elsewhere. And JJ seems to know that. Let's

551
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: talk JJ for a second.

552
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 3: So JJ caught out three of his guys, the media

553
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 3: and the MAVs medical staff in the past few days.

554
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: How much blame do you think JJ Reddick himself should

555
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: be taking.

556
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: Listen, I think JJ's done a really good job this year.

557
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: Here is my kind of triple prong issue with how

558
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: JJ has handled this past week. I do not mind

559
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: people demanding accountability from others. I think JJ at times

560
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: has shown a lack of ability to at least publicly

561
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: hold himself accountable the way he would demands of others.

562
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: At no point, whether he believes it or not, has

563
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: he said about the Austin or Luca injury. But ultimately,

564
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm the head coach and I shouldn't have put him

565
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: back out there again, even if he doesn't believe that

566
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: that I think would have been good to hear. Instead,

567
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: he blamed his own medical staff, the MAVs medical staff

568
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: wrong imaging all of this so that I didn't love.

569
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: I also feel like JJ too often his demeanor and

570
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: approach is directly correlated with how the team's running. When

571
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: the team's rolling, smiles and laughs, and when the team's

572
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: not playing well, you know, angry drill sergeant guy. And

573
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: I actually think some of the best leaders do the

574
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: inverse of that at times. At when the things are

575
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: the worst is when they try to be the most

576
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: uplifting and the lightest, and when things are rolling is

577
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: when they actually really try to hold people are accountable, right,

578
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: And so I think that's something JJ could improve on.

579
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, I thought him going out

580
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: of his way to embarrass Jared Vanderbilt was really shitty.

581
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: So if people didn't see it, he go ahead.

582
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean he subbed him out after the

583
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 3: three free throw. I mean it was like minute into

584
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: the quarter, or like less than thirteen seconds, seconds.

585
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: Into sixteen seconds into the quarter. And here's why I

586
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: didn't like that. First of all, like Greg Popovich used

587
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: to do that sometimes call time out right into a quarter,

588
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: but he would then sub out the whole starting five.

589
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: He would put everyone who started the quarter on the bench.

590
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: And in that specific the game when they don't have

591
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 3: bodies does make it very I think that much crazier.

592
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 3: It's like who else do you have?

593
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: Well, but here's the other reason for it that I

594
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: particularly didn't like it. I think Vando has handled his

595
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: super diminished role really well, and I think Vando has

596
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: been an awesome teammate for Luca. I think Vando as

597
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: whether it was stepping in between Luke and JJ or

598
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: stepping in between Luke and the refs, or stepping in

599
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: between Luke and the fans, Vando's been there, and I

600
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: just thought going out of your way to embarrass him

601
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: was uncalled for now. He also went out of his

602
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: way to embarrass DeAndre Ayton what he was like, what

603
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: he was like eight and can't catch. I will give

604
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: JJ a little bit of slack on that, because every

605
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: coach DeAndre Ayten's ever had has gotten fed up with

606
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: him at various times, like and so there is and

607
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: Dean just like DeAndre Ayden hasn't been able to play.

608
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: He's been playing, he's gotten his opportunities. So that to

609
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: me was less mean spirited than embarrassing Vando like that.

610
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: So I just I just didn't like that. But ultimately

611
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: none of it matters unless Luca comes back. And you know, again,

612
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: I don't know the I don't know what they're doing

613
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: in Spain, I don't know what centrifugees are spinning what

614
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: and what's being you know, injected where. But they gotta

615
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: hope he can come back, and they gotta hope he

616
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: can come back in short order. All right. Every guy

617
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: has those go to pieces, the shoes that go with everything,

618
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,319

Speaker 1: shirt that always looks clean no matter what you pair

620
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: it with. You don't overthink those pieces. You grab them

621
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: and they work every time. But most guys are missing

622
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: one thing from that lineup. Jewelry that's why I rock.

Speaker 1: Please show support for our show and tell them we

649
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: sent you. All right, demanse, let's talk a little football

650
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: here before we get some masters and some other things.

651
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 3: So the Texans picked up their fifth year options on

652
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 3: their twenty twenty three first round rookie duo Will Anderson

653
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 3: is the easy one, but they also picked it up

654
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 3: on CJ. Stroud. How do you think they felt about

655
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 3: that after seeing.

656
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: Sorry interrupt Sorry for interrupting you. Picking up the fifth

657
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: year option is a no brainer on Stroud. It's it's

658
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: not that expensive. It locks him in for the fifth year.

659
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: If you do end up wanting to extend him down

660
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: the road, it's good to have the fifth year attacked on,

661
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: so the extension starts after that fifth year. So picking

662
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: up it's really a catastrophe if you don't pick up

663
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: your fifth year option on your first round picks like

664
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: that means something has gone very awry. So that was

665
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: a no brainer. I also think this is a no brainer.

666
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: There's no chance in hell I'm extending him this summer.

667
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: I need to see what he looks like next year

668
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: and then we can have the discussion. But I'm just

669
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: not doing it this summer.

670
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 2: I I am if I'm Houston really spooked, really spooked

671
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: by those two playoff games.

672
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: It was five fumbles and it was four pick five

673
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: fumble fumbles in the first one, four picks in the

674
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: second one, and a guy who looked shaken to his core.

675
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: So I am go ahead.

676
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: I think Houston has done enough to support him.

677
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the best defense in football. Uh Now,

678
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: their offensive line bad. Yeah, the offensive line has been bad.

679
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: The running game was not good last year, you had

680
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: you dealt with injuries at receiver. But this is a

681
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: stunning trajectory. Sometimes guys have awesome rookie years and they

682
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: feel flimsy. It's like, yeah, but it was like all

683
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: you Jaden as an example, not And by the way,

684
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think Jaden's rookie year

685
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: was flimsy, but there were elements you could point to

686
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: and be like, Ooh, I wonder quite how sustainable that

687
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: is the level of rushing. How the fact that they

688
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: won like six games when trailing in the final two minutes,

689
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: the you know that you could see a potential regression

690
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: coming right, and so that you know, made you RG

691
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: three before he got injured. His rookie year, It's like, man,

692
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: it's so many huge plays and so much of a

693
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: devastating Where did this come from? It seemed like the

694
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: defenses weren't prepared for the rushing attack. You wondered, even

695
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: if he was had stayed healthy, if that was gonna

696
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: end up being his best individual season. Nothing about CJ's

697
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 1: rookie year felt flimsy. It wasn't like a lot of

698
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: lucky huge plays. He obviously wasn't doing a lot with

699
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: his legs. It felt like, nope, this guy's just legit. Yeah,

700
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: And then to see him get worse across the board

701
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: in each of the next two years is stunning. And

702
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: so I don't know what's happened, but I do know

703
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 1: if I'm Houston, i am not locking him up long

704
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: term early. That's like, that is the mistake the Cardinals

705
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: made with Kyler Kyler had this awesome rookie year, and

706
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: to Kyler's credit, he also had he had a better

707
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: Year three than CJ did. But Year three for Kyler,

708
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: he in that year three playoff game, it was similar

709
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 1: to CJS, just a total catastrophe of a performance. And

710
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: then they gave him the big contract anyway, and it

711
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: felt unnecessary and preemptive, and then they, you know, I

712
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: think pretty clearly regretted it in relative short order. The

713
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins made to a wait until they didn't give him

714
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: his contract after three years. They made him wait one

715
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: more year, but then they I think gave gave him

716
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: a contract because they felt like they had no other choice,

717
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: and almost immediately regretted that themselves. I just I am

718
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: not opposed to telling my franchise, my potential franchise quarterback

719
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 1: on a rookie deal, we love you, you're our guy, We're

720
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: not ready to pay you yet. And that's where the

721
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: uh and that's where the franchise tag really works it

722
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,280
Speaker 1: against the players, because if you have CJ, it's like, Okay,

723
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: he's played three years, he's got one year left on

724
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: his rookie deal. We just added the fifty year option.

725
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: Then in theory. We have two years, we could franchise

726
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: tag him. We've got a lot of time before he

727
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: can actually hit free agency to figure this out. And

728
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what direction CJ's career is going to go.

729
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: Demand I really don't stay it again. Oh yeah, a huge,

730
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: an absolutely huge year for him, And yeah, I just

731
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: don't I can't figure out what's going on here. And

732
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: it is the go ahead.

733
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 3: Do you think it's at all possible by end of

734
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,479
Speaker 3: season next year that people were saying Bryce over CJ.

735
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't because I don't think. I don't think. I

736
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: don't think Bryce is like going to improve. I think

737
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: Bryce is kind of at his.

738
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 3: But I mean, but if he has the same year

739
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 3: that he had last year, is that is that not

740
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: already better than c J. Stroud?

741
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: I don't know that it is. I like, I think

742
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 1: Bryce is still being graded on a weird curve. Yeah,

743
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: Like Bryce last year had an eighty eight rating. He

744
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: threw for three thousand yards, you know what I mean? Like,

745
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: I just think I think Bryce is, you know, going

746
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: to be a pretty consistently but low average quarterback. Okay,

747
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: I think listen, he's made it clear he's not going

748
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 1: to play himself like out of the league, but which

749
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: looked like it was on the board at multiple times

750
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: throughout his career. But I do not think he's I

751
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: just yeah, I mean, I still think I think it

752
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: would be stunning, at least to me if that happened.

753
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: All right, You ever notice how everything keeps going up,

754
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 1: Rints going on, streaming services going up, favorite burritos, spots

755
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: charging you extra for salves, and not with boost Mobile.

756
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: With boost Mobile, you and your phone bill don't have

757
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: to play the will this go up soon? Game? Why?

758
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 1: Because Boost Mobile is unlimited talk, text and data plan

759
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: at a price that'll never go up, in fact, to

760
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: the same price you pay for life. So switch now

761
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: for unlimited wireless at a price that will never go up.

762
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: Only at boost Mobile. After thirty gigs, customers may experience

763
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: lower speeds. Customers will pay twenty five dollars per month

764
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: as long as they remain active on the boost Unlimited plan.

765
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: All right, demonse, Let's do a little Masters here.

766
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 3: So the ninetieth edition of the Masters start today at

767
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 3: Augusta National Golf Course. World number one Scottie Scheffer is

768
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 3: the favorite at plus five hundred. Last year's champion Rory

769
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 3: Malcolmroyd comes in at fourth at odds at plus twelve hundred.

770
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 3: Likely maybe what if? Who walks away with the green jacket?

771
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: I love listening to demons read these golf His names

772
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: were wildly famous, super important golfers, and it's the first

773
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: time he's ever said them.

774
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 3: The that's how you say it right, not.

775
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: Matt, It's it's Rory McElroy. So I don't know why.

776
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that's better. I don't know how you

777
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 1: were mispronouncing it, but it was like a letter off.

778
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: And I know you saw Scotty Scheffler and got a

779
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: little nervous, but you nailed that one. Listen. Uh, I

780
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: My what if is what if Rory goes back to back?

781
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: I think that would be so much fun. Uh this

782
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: the smart money is on Scotty Scheffler. I understand that,

783
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: So I guess that's the likely. The maybe though, And

784
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,080
Speaker 1: the guy that I have bet on and I'm rolling

785
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: with is the Spaniard Genre. I Genre is one of

786
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: my favorite golfers. Also demands a Whether you remember it

Speaker 3: you were like intently watching.

792
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,959
Speaker 1: At the wedding. That yeah, that would have been wait,

793
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that was You're right that it was the

794
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: Masters at the wedding two years ago. We were watching

795
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 1: this Saturday. We didn't we were watching. We were sweating

796
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 1: Tiger on Saturday at the Masters. I think it was Tiger,

797
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: but that was the Master. H No, but John Ram,

798
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 1: it was what I think you were there. Maybe I'm wrong,

799
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: but I mean I know I was there. I know

800
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: I was watching with family. I had bet on gen

801
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: Ram Sunday of the Masters, and he ended up finishing

802
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: it off. Now since then he hasn't come close. But

803
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: he's who I'm rooting for, and he's who I bet on,

804
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: and he was my he's my pick, so I understand

805
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: I And he hasn't teed off yet today by the way,

806
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: right now, oh wow, Patrick red Eagle on two and

807
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: is sitting at three under, and Kurt Kittiyama is at

808
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: three under uh CO leader along with Patrick Red and

809
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: the always popular and some people. You know, I like

810
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: this guy. It wouldnt be kind of fun if he won.

811
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: Tommy Fleetwood also at three under, but it is very

812
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: early the I'm not going to do Mutt. Listen, that'll cut,

813
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, basically wrap up our master's preview. I think

814
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: you can get probably better master's previews elsewhere, and you

815
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: would have already gotten it because the tournament has now started.

816
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: But we'll talk a lot of masters on Tuesday show

817
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: because I will be locked in all weekend and then

818
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: Demons before we go. I just listen resident Nuggets fan Daniel,

819
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: who produces the show and puts together the rundown who

820
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 1: Daniel and I, you know, have bonded over the you know,

821
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: my growing respect and admiration for Djoki, for Jokic, Joker,

822
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: and for the fact that I thank Lebron could be

823
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: on the Nuggets next year. With that said, Daniel, He's

824
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: not gonna win MVP, and we're not doing a topic

825
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: on Joker's MVP. Heil Mary Shay is gonna win MVP,

826
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: right or wrong. I'm not. I'm I I don't even

827
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: want to debate whether or not he should. At this point,

828
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: you need to be okay with that. You now, Joker

829
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: could end up with I do want like we'll see

830
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: about Wimby's eligibility and about which I think jokers pushed

831
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:31,439
Speaker 1: down down the stretch could get him to second, which

832
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: would put him in further rarefied error, which this would

833
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: be his one, two, three, four, five, sixth consecutive top

834
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: two MVP finish. That'd be I mean, that's pretty special.

835
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: He's certainly gonna have six straight top three MVP finishes,

836
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: but we've seen that before where guys have six straight

837
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: top threes. Bird went second, second, second, first, first, first,

838
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. And then Birds here's demands Birds real quick.

839
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 3: Daniel got you into it.

840
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Birds opening nine years of his career MVP finish, Yeah,

841
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: fourth as a rookie second, second, second, first, first, first, third, second,

842
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: pretty strong, pretty strong. Kareem uh his MVP finishes again,

843
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: starting with his rookie year. This is here's Kareem's first

844
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: eleven years in the league. Third, first, first, second, first, fifth, first, first, fourth, fourth,

845
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: first strong. I'm gonna I'm gonna do two more guys,

846
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna wrap it up. Michael Jordan's MVP

847
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: finishes starting in year three for him because year one

848
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the top five. Year two, he broke

849
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: his foot was out most of the year. Here's Jordan's

850
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: MVP finishes prior to his first retirement second, first, second, third, first, first, third, strong,

851
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: not as good as jokers run for whatever it's worth,

852
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: then retired, came back, and then those three years after

853
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: his first retirement three full years went first, second, first,

854
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: really strong, and now last but not least. Lebron's MVP finishes. Yea,

855
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: I was waiting on it. What the heck? Lebron's MVP

856
01:01:52,160 --> 01:02:06,959
Speaker 1: finishes starting with year three second, fifth, fourth, first, first, third, first, first, second, third, third, fourth, second,

857
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 1: uh missed got the year he got injured second, So

858
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Lebron's best run would be four wins, a second and

859
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: a third. Joker's best run, I think it's gonna be

860
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: three wins and three seconds, but yeah, Lebron, Lebron has

861
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm checking real quick, one two, three, so he has

862
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: four first, four seconds and three thirds and in total

863
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: of I think fifteen top five finishes.

864
01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Where do you think Joki is gonna finish

865
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 3: all time? Because I feel like I've where'd you put

866
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 3: him at? Like if he if he didn't get another

867
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 3: ring but continued to play the way that he plays.

868
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't get another ring. If he doesn't get another ring,

869
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see any way he can finish

870
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:10,959
Speaker 1: in the top ten.

871
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 3: Ring culture. Man, Well it's that guy's amazing, unbelievable.

872
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: But so so listen because it's too It's not just

873
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: ring culture. It is also he only has two deep

874
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: playoff runs. He's been to one finals, been to one

875
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: conference finals. So let me just just real quick demons

876
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: the twelve best players in my opinion, NBA history, and

877
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: if we just do MVP's finals appearances, championships. Okay, I'm

878
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: doing this off the top of my head, so my apologies,

879
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: but I the I would be surprised if I don't

880
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: if I don't get this right. Lebron James four MVPs

881
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 1: ten finals appearances, four championships. Kareem Abdul Jabbar six MVPs

882
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: ten finals appearances, six championships, Michael Jordan five MVPs six

883
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: finals appearances, six championships, Magic Johnson three MVPs nine finals appearances,

884
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: five championships. Tim Duncan two MVPs six finals appearances, five championships,

885
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: Bill Russell five MVPs god twelve finals appearances, eleven championships.

886
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Wilt Chamberlain, you have four or five MVPs. FO you

887
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: might only have three, three or four MVPs, A half

888
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: dozen finals appearances, two championships. Maybe more than a half

889
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 1: dozen finals appearances for Wilt Bird or three MVPs, five

890
01:05:51,560 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: finals appearances, three championships, Kobe one MVP seven finals appearances,

891
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: five championships, Steph two m VPS six finals appearances, four championships,

892
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: a Team one MVP, three finals appearances, two championships, Shack

893
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: one MVP six finals appearances, four championships, and then Joker

894
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: three m VPS, one finals appearance, one championship. So the

895
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: point that I'm making one more and we can and

896
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: we can start one more, and I think he is

897
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: definitively I think he jumps Shack and a Keeam on

898
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: the centers list. I just and and some people feel

899
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: he's already jumped a King. I get that I and

900
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: I maybe am open to that argument. However, I listed

901
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: twelve guys there, so for him to be top ten,

902
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: he's got to jump three of them, and I just

903
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: don't I think he's at his ceiling for how high

904
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: he can climb as a one champion player. So I

905
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: don't think that's really like ring culture as much as

906
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: everybody ahead of them, you know, is these are the

907
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: most decorated players ever and they have, you know, had

908
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: so many more deep playoffronts. With that said, they could

909
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: win it all this year, and if he wins it

910
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: all this year, you start having some really fun conversations

911
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,480
