This is Straight Fire for Monday, July. 3 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: I want to welcome in all the listeners who have 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: tuned into my Saturday morning radio show on Fox Sports 5 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Radio for the last six years. This past Saturday was 6 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: the final Saturday of the show. A bit of a 7 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: melancholy weekend. Um. It's what my wife kept saying, like, 8 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: does it how does it feel? Does it feel? And 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: leading up to it, I was like, Oh, that's no 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: big deal. And then it happens, and then it felt 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: weird because I haven't you guys know me. I love work. 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: I like we're talking about sports on any medium. UM. 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: So I don't voluntarily leave jobs unless it's for something else. Um. 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: In this case, I just felt like leaving a job. 15 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: I know it's a little bit of a crazy time 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: to do that, but six years was a great run. Um. 17 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: I celebrated by getting another tennis racket this past weekend 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: so that I would now have to for the tournament 19 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: coming up this weekend. And I know I've been hyping 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: the hell out of my tennis skills. I've played a 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: lot I'm playing later today. Um, I'm playing Tuesday at Tuna, 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: but I may play Wednesday. Just leading into the tournament. 23 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: Want to be fresh and and popping. Um, But I've 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: lost in the semifinals in twenty nineteen. There's no tournament 25 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: last year. I bet I better win, But I want 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: to put too much pressure on myself because you know 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 1: what happens. The guys who are four ohs are like, oh, 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play down a level and dominate, and 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: that's you know, you really can't do. Can't beat those guys. 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: So that's what my new in my new weekend will be. 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: I'm playing in a tennis tournament this coming weekend. But 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: overall the weekend was great. I I really didn't know 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: where to start today's pod, you know, because like, what's 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: a big sports story like Game five is you know, 35 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: a little stale at this point. We'll get into it 36 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. I could talk about USA Canada soccer. 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure people are hitting the fast forward button, 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: but I actually wanted to start a little Listen, it's July. 39 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: We can do whatever we want, right. Um, I think 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with space Jam. I don't know how 41 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: many of you saw Space Jam? The audience that has kids, 42 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure saw it. Um just about everybody I know 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: with a kid has seen Space Jam. And I ran 44 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: into kids, you know, all weekend at um uh multiple 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: basketball games we had, and then you know, you just 46 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: see kids out with your kids, and I gotta say, 47 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: it's so weird. The take that really annoys me from 48 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: people is why would I go see Space Jam two? 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: It got like a tht on Rotten Tomatoes or whatever 50 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: the the the number equivalent is, it got like a 51 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: crap rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And I don't know how 52 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: you guys feel, but why the hell would I ever 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: base a movie off rotten Tomatoes just or any website? 54 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: Why would I do that? Okay, as a grown man, 55 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: I know what I like. I know movies. I'm into 56 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: End of Days. Check. I'm definitely watching that, you know, 57 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: the movie Greenland, And I'm sure you guys have never 58 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: even heard of that. Rob g will tell us shortly 59 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: if he's seen that, Um, Greenland, probably nobody's interested in that. 60 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: I watched that End of Days, I'll I mean, it 61 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: wasn't great, but it was ninety minutes to two hours 62 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: of just passing the time. I like those kind of movies. Okay, Um, 63 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: I don't really care that Rotten Tomatoes hated Space Jam 64 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: two or seemingly everybody on my social media feeds are like, oh, 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: that movie's crap, it's awful. Like I get it. If 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: you don't like Lebron automatically, you're gonna hate Space Jam two. 67 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: My quick Dime Store movie review is and this is 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: the truthful honesty. Uh Rich Paul's up paying me. Um, yes, 69 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I do like Lebron. Um. I fell asleep in the 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: first forty minutes of the movie. I woke up and 71 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: then I thought the final you know, sixty five minutes 72 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: is pretty good. You know, listen, I had a long 73 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: Friday night. You know, we went out to dinner to 74 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: kind of celebrate the end of the radio show. Then 75 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: I woke up super early, and then you know, we 76 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: watched it Saturday, and I fell asleep. You know, the 77 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: first minutes were a little bit slow, um, but the 78 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: basketball action was fine. But I'm not the target audience. 79 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: The target audience is kids. I have an eight year 80 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: old and a ten year old, and they absolutely loved it. 81 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: They were super into it. And you know, when I 82 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: wake up and I'm like, oh, wait, who's team And 83 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: they're like, oh A d s On, you know, and Dave. 84 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: You know, They're they're really into it. And you know, 85 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: my son and daughter really really like Spaceship. If you 86 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: have kids, I would say under the age of thirteen, 87 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna push it up to about sixteen or 88 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: seventeen because I do know some um kids who have 89 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: siblings that are older and they told my kids, Oh, 90 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: we all watched it. We loved it. Now, many of 91 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: the dads I spoke with were like, listen, it's a 92 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: kid's movie, and I'm gonna keep it one with you guys. 93 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: I don't even remember the original Space Jam, so I'm 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to watch that the kids really want to 95 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: see it. Pretty a bad job by me, right, not 96 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: showing them the original Space Jam before the Lebron version, 97 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to sit here and be critical 98 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: of acting on part of Lebron. Like it was a 99 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: sports movie, right, it had video games. It had like 100 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: a pretty cool father son thing where Lebron wants to 101 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: push his kid to play basketball and the kid wants 102 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: to be end up making video games. Like listen, a 103 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: lot of dads can relate to that. Um, any dads 104 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: who's into sports, Uh, it wants a kid to play 105 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: and succeed and have fun and make friends and have 106 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: a good time. Like we've been there, and your kids 107 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: want to come home and play Fortnite or they wanna 108 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: play roadblocks. Yeah, we've been there, so I could definitely relate. 109 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure other dads out there. Now. Rob G has 110 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: a kid who I think his kids like two years old. Okay, Nevertheless, 111 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: rob G, movie critic, what did you think of Space? 112 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: It wasn't bad. Like, I don't understand why people were 113 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: going out of their way to hate on the movie. 114 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: If you go into it expect being a kids movie, 115 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: then it's exactly what you expected. If you go into 116 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: it expecting anything else, that's dear fault. I mean, like 117 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: you said that the first half is slow, but the basketball, 118 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: which is all anyone really cared about that That whole 119 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: climax scene that was fine, Like that was great. You 120 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: know the little things that they did to uh, to 121 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: differentiate from the monstars of the original and now you 122 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: got the brow and the damn Lillard thing that they 123 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: did with him with his uh, damn time. I thought 124 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: was pretty cool. I thought that was a gift idea. 125 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: And did you know, just to piggyback on your whole 126 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: notion about the rotten Tomato score and things like that. 127 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: You look, you know how I feel about the movie 128 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: Last Vegas.

Now this 169 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: is weird because I like all the Marvel movies. I 170 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: don't know where you are in that, Rob. My kids 171 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: didn't look that interested in it, and I did not 172 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: look that interested in it. So we have not seen 173 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: Captain Marvel. If you're listening to this and it's amazing, 174 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: please ping me. Uh.

Nine Joker incredible, like really 178 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: really really good, one of the best movies of twenty 179 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: maybe the best. UM. And then number ten was it 180 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: Chapter two, which I haven't seen. I will again brutal 181 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: honestly with you guys. I grew up loving horror movies, 182 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: and this one movie kind of ruined horror movies for me. Um. 183 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: It's called The Strangers. I don't know if you guys 184 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: have seen it. For whatever reason, that movie scared the 185 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: bijebs out of me. Is that even a word. Does 186 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: anybody say that anymore? Scared the crap crud whatever, b 187 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: G B, I don't, I don't know whatever. So I 188 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: think it was because we had moved out in New 189 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: York City and it's not scary watching a movie in 190 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: New York City. You know, your high rise building, people everywhere. 191 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: But we move out to the bourbs and I stumble 192 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: upon Strangers one night and it has liv Tyler, who 193 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, Live Tyler if you grew up in the nineties. 194 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: Live Tyler was in those those Aerosmith videos, her dad, 195 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: of course, Steven Tyler. You're like, oh, Lift Tyler's, by 196 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: the way, super awkward. By the way, I quick tangent 197 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: the fact he was so sexualized in all of those 198 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: music videos, and that was her dad's song, it's kind 199 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: of weird. That's a little somewhat creepy. Yes, um, but 200 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: if again that was she was she with Alicia Silverstone? Yes, yeah, okay, 201 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: so anything with Alicia Silverstone. I'm watching Clueless. It's on 202 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: been on a lot during the day recently. When I'm 203 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: working on stuff, I'm watching a Clue is great movie. Um, 204 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: And so anyways, Lift Tyler's in the Strangers and I 205 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: start watching this, I'm like, oh wait a minute, this 206 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: is scary. As how I had to turn it off. 207 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: I was like, I watched this tomorrow during the day. 208 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: You know. It's like I mean the movie I listen, 209 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: I don't scare easily, and Strangers is scary because it 210 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: don't have a good ending Like Purge. I was willing 211 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: to go see all those Purge movies. That stuff doesn't 212 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: scare me. Um. This one just felt like something that 213 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: could actually happen. UM very strange. Okay, now we've gone 214 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: way off the tangent Um. Let's get back to sports anyway, 215 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: Rob g If five Stars is the best sports movie 216 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: you've ever seen, be it, Remember the Titans, Hoosiers, White Men, 217 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: Can't Jump. Whatever you want your five star movie to be, 218 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: that's it. And one is garbage movie that you would 219 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: not recommend. You will not watch the films like Cable, 220 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: you will go out advocate do not watch this movie. 221 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: Where do you have Space Jam two on the five 222 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: star movie scale as a thirty two year old male, 223 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: I have it as a three. But if you're someone 224 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: like yourself who has kids in that key demographic that's 225 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: like between nine and fifteen, which is I think this 226 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: is exactly who that movie is made for. Then it's 227 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: probably like a four. Yeah, yeah, not for me, but yes, 228 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: I can totally see how how kids love it. And 229 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: and now we've done a lot on Space jam and 230 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: I wish we could talk more about Lebron, but Fox 231 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. 232 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot 233 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f 234 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: s R to listen live. Instead of talking about Game 235 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: five real quick, I can we go back to the 236 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: Dame Lollard stuff that came out on Friday. So it 237 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: was weird Henry Abbott who came on this pod last month, 238 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: and we talked about how much we liked Henry Abbott. Right, Um, 239 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: good interview. If you missed it, I mean you gotta 240 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: listen to it. Here's why I believe Henry Abbott. And 241 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: of course Damian Lillard tried to pooh pooh it and 242 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: say oh, well, blah blah blah. He like talked around 243 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: it without basically saying it's not true. Um, Henry Abbot 244 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: coorse said that Damian Lillard in the coming days will 245 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: demand a trade. I find it awkward that in the 246 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: coming days means he's gonna like do it from Tokyo, 247 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: which I don't think he's gonna do at the Olympics. 248 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: That's in bad form obviously. Um So, I don't know 249 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: about Henry's timetable, but a couple of things. Henry Abbott 250 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: basically has been I don't know if the word investigating 251 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: is too strong, but he has been reporting on owners Okay, 252 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: he's talking to people at high levels. I'm of the 253 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: belief he this is well sourced. He's not the kind 254 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: of guy to just throw crap out there and hope 255 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: it sticks. Dame demanding a trade would not surprise me. 256 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why. What surprised one else. They've lost 257 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: in the first round four of the last five years. 258 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: They just fired their coach. They got a new coach. Yes, 259 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: I know Damian Lillard requested him, but this idea that 260 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: he should stay in Portland because he said so three 261 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: years ago. Guys, one of the first things I said 262 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: on this podcast, way way back, maybe the first week. 263 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: We are horrible at predicting the future. If I had 264 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: told you six years ago, Jason, you will be living 265 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: in southern California about seven blocks on the beach, and 266 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: you will be doing a day five day week podcast, 267 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: and you'll be on tv FS one, and you will 268 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: be writing stuff for Fox Sports, and you will be 269 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: like the gambling guy for Fox Sports. If you had 270 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: said that six years ago, you would have laughed. You 271 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: would have laughed at me. You this guy is dreaming. Bro? 272 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: You crazy? What do you do your mushrooms today? What 273 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: is it you getting high on your own supply? What's 274 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: going on? Jay? If that would have been the reaction, 275 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: We're not going to predict in the future. We're just 276 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: not that. We're not good at it. It's extremely difficult. 277 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: Why do you think the NFL draft is such an 278 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: inexact science? NBA draft a little more exact, but still 279 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: very very inexact. Okay, this idea that Damian Allard said 280 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: four years ago, I'm gonna win one. You know, I'm 281 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: staying with mine. I'm not going to things change. People change, 282 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: priorities changed, teams change, teammates change. There's no reason at 283 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: all Damian little should be held to. But he said 284 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: this like who cares? It doesn't freaking matter. Wake up people. 285 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: This idea that Dame could look to the future through 286 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: or four years ago and say, oh my gosh, Kevin 287 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: Durance going to the Warriors, and Kevin Duran is gonna 288 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: go to the Nets, and Lebron's going to the Lakers. 289 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: Like who saw any of this coming? Who saw Yoki 290 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: going from the second round pick to being an MVP 291 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: of the league. Who saw everybody getting hurt in the 292 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: one playoffs? And the Bucks in honest, are gonna luck 293 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: box into a title and all of a sudden and 294 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: this is where the Bucks tie in. Remember last off season, 295 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: the Bucks got beaten down by the Heat in the 296 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: bubble and they came out and said, we are going 297 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: all in. We gotta keep you honest in Milwaukee. We 298 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: gotta make a move. We're training three first round picks 299 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: for Drew Holiday. I mean, if you go back and listen, 300 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: I probably snickered a little bit. I was like, my 301 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: favorite line was they're banking on one time all star 302 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: Drew Holiday to come in and make that much of 303 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: a difference. And it was like, Okay, he's a really 304 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: good player. I'm not diminishing what Drew Holiday has done 305 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: or been, but this idea that he was going to 306 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: swing their fortunes a little bit silly. Yes, he's not 307 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: great form Eric Bledsoe, but it's a little bit silly. 308 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: But Damian Lillard is sitting at home having watched that 309 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: oh Bucks best record losing the conference finals, best record 310 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: losing the second round, not the best record anymore, and 311 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're going to the finals because 312 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: they made one pivotal move they got Drew Holiday. I mean, yeah, 313 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: there were ancillary moves. P J. Tucker is a nice one. Um, 314 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: Bobby Portis has worked out more of it was dumping blood. 315 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: So that was just such a win. But if you're 316 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: Dame watching this, oh my gosh, why can't Portland be 317 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: one guy away? Who can we go out? Remember Drew 318 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: Holiday just made one All Star team before this year. 319 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: You're telling me Portland can't go out and get one 320 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: big game changer and put us right in the discussion 321 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: why not us? If I'm Damian Lillard, I've got to 322 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: be looking at my Portland's GM and say, why can't 323 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: we do this? Now? Obviously, listen, I'm not saying Portland 324 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: the last few years was as good as Milwaukee, but 325 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: the Blazers did make a conference championship round. They did 326 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: get smoked by the Warriors. They did have some good 327 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: fortunes to get there, but what the Bucks didn't have 328 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: major good fortunes is postseason. I mean, come on, like, 329 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: if Kyrie doesn't get hurt and James Arden doesn't get hurt, 330 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: like who's winning that series? Guys, come on, even against 331 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: the freaking Hawks. Trey Young has given him the business, 332 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: so like, you gotta things, gotta break your way. But 333 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: I really do believe Dame is sitting home and remember 334 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Drew Holiday will be along with Devin Booker and Chris 335 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: Middleton getting on a plane after the Finals and heading 336 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: to Tokyo. I wonder whether that's gonna be like Drew 337 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: Holiday all of a sudden goes from yeah, guy's a 338 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: nice player to holy cow, he was a big difference 339 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: in winning the championship. Like that's gonna happen. Now, let's 340 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: spin it forward again to Tokyo. Damian Lillard is hanging 341 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: out with Draymond Green, noted recruiter. As we talked about 342 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: last week, Draymond Green and then we had shoot Rob 343 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: I forgot who the guest was, came on this pod 344 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: and talked about USA basketball practice, Oh, Joe Varden and 345 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: what's Dame doing at USA basketball practice. Oh, Steve Kerr 346 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: shagging balls and feeding Dame Lillard. So you got Draymond, 347 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: You've got Steve Kerr, you got Dame Lillard, you got 348 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: Golden State with two first round picks, two lottery picks. 349 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: You got there there one from last year, and James 350 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: Wiseman Andrew Wiggins. Listen. I know that some people will 351 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: say that's a poop poop platter, but ship Laker fans. 352 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: Come on, guys, I had plenty of Laker fans sex 353 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: to me. Cruz Shooter, Horton Tucker, sign in shining trade 354 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: for Shooter, come on, and I'm like, well, that only 355 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: works if Dames says I will only play for the Lakers. 356 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen. I know Dame is Um really 357 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: endeared himself in Portland's that would probably, I don't want 358 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: to say, wreck his legacy, but I don't know that 359 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: he would be held in as high regard in Portland 360 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: if that was his exit. As good as Anthony Davis was, 361 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: nobody's considering him one of the best New Orleans players. Ever, 362 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: It's like he's like scratched after a record books for 363 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: his exit. You know, So this Damian Lillar stories fascinating 364 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: truth be told to me a little more fascinating the finals. Um. 365 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: It also has hurt that I had these Sons in 366 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: Game five, which was a big, fat loser. Um. I 367 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: still don't really know how the hell they lost that game, 368 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: but nobody missed a shot, So there you go. UM. 369 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: But Rob G as a realist Laker fan who loves 370 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: to hashtag future Laker everybody where you are, where are 371 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: you on Dame Lillard? Well, Jason, Before I answer that question, 372 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: let me just say to go back to what you 373 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: said about Game five and that loss you took with 374 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: the Sons America. He literally lost the shirt off his 375 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: back in that game. As we're talking right now, as 376 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: we're talking on the Jason is not wearing a shirt 377 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: because he lost a gambling Fox Sports Radio has the 378 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of 379 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within 380 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app search f s R to 381 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: listen five. There's no way that dam Miller is gonna 382 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: up with Lakers. It'd be great if he could, um, 383 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: but realistically, we just don't have the assets. And even 384 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: if he did, say, I'm only gonna play for the Lakers. 385 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: There are still a handful of teams will say okay, 386 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: then in that case is that are giving you before 387 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: first round picks, will give you two instead of giving 388 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: you our best young prospect, will give you one, or 389 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: our second best prospect, whatever. But there's no ways to 390 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: come to Los Angeles. I told I said this a 391 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: few weeks ago on the pod when you were off, 392 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: when Gavitt and I were co hosting. There are two 393 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: teams that make the most sense, one of them being 394 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: Golden State, the other one being Philadelphia. And it's funny 395 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: that you brought up um Henry Abbott because we actually 396 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: got him on the Odd Couple on Friday night after 397 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: his story came out, and he told us that he's 398 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: still you know, uh, dotting his eyes and crossing his 399 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: teas on this one. But he has multiple sources that 400 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: have told old him that there is one team in 401 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: particular that if he were to force a trade, he 402 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: has one particular team in mind. Now, as of Friday night, 403 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: he didn't know what that team was and that's why 404 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: he was still vetting it out and that's why we 405 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: haven't seen that column come out yet. But I have 406 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: a hard time imagining even still that the one team 407 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: would be the Lakers. Well, I mean, I guess you 408 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: gotta go through it. Like Boston's got some guys who 409 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: have been close, but it almost feels like they've regressed 410 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think they went to three straight 411 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, and you know, given the injuries in 412 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: the kemba, like I I they feel like they're regressing. 413 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: The one team that's one is the Warriors. I guess 414 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: the major problem is what what's up with Clay Right? 415 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: And you know, do you really want to do with 416 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant did? I don't know. I would have personally 417 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: no problem with that. I mean, everybody wants to play 418 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: for everybody wants to play with Curry. Now you go 419 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: to Philadelphia and you get them over the hump. You know, 420 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: you're basically viewed as like the greatest athlete in Philadelphia 421 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: sports history. You know, Iverson got him to the finals 422 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: and they love that guy. Barkley. I couldn't even get it. 423 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: Couldn't get him to the finals. I had to go 424 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: to Phoenix for that, and they love Barkley. Um, Philadelphia 425 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: could make sense. I just Joel Embiid is just I 426 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I it just feels very territorial and like, yeah, 427 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if that would work. So Warriors Celtics 428 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: sixers make the most sense. I can't see him going 429 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: to a team that's like mediocre two above average and 430 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: like being that guy like you can't like as good 431 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: as good as it could be in fun in New 432 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: York City, good for your brand coming off Space Jam 433 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 1: and your rap album and all that, like Rob, come on, 434 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: you go to the Knicks, like what do you You're 435 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: starting the season as like the sixth best even the East. Well, 436 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: the only way that makes sense in New York is 437 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: if he has some kind of backdoor wink wink deal 438 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: in place to get Kauai there too. And I don't 439 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: see that going. I don't see Kauai after he moved 440 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: heaven and Earth to get to the Clippers just giving 441 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: all that up to go to the Knicks. I don't 442 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: see that happening, especially a guy like Kauai, who, if 443 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: it was up to him, would play like thirty games 444 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: a year. And Thibodeau was like, no, you're not only 445 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: gonna play all eighty two, but I'm gonna play you 446 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: forty four minutes a night like that. I just don't 447 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: see that working in New York. But that's the only 448 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: way that that makes sense because they have room for 449 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: two max guys. And but again I don't don't see 450 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: that working. I think before we quickly get to Game five, 451 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: let me hit you with this. And I just thought 452 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: about it listening to you. Tougher to get out of 453 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: the East or West next year? East Bucks, Nets, Hawks 454 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: are ascending sixers, probably gonna do something. Who am I missing? 455 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that the Nets are the favorites. 456 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: If you look at any gambling is going to be better. 457 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: Hopefully you look at the West, it's a D and Lebron, 458 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: but they have been broken injured. Lebron injured a D 459 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: each of the last two of the last three years. Um, 460 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: Nuggets will be back, but Murray's hurt. Sons will see 461 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: what happens. Um I I the post morning on the 462 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: Sons is just gonna be brutal. Oh my gosh. Um. 463 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: I don't know who else like you talk Clippers, no Kauai, 464 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: no Jamal Murray. So yeah, I think Dame would make 465 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: sense to stay in the West. Memphis is gonna be 466 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: good people, but like, I don't know if they can 467 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: make that leap yet. You know what's funny is I 468 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: don't know if you can even say that about the 469 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: West because he got the Never Nuggets without Jamal Murray 470 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: altogether and they still lost. Well that was Portland. Yeah, 471 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: but he's not He's not losing with Steph Curry to 472 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: to to Denver without one one thing that are good. 473 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: Frank Spruce hard and we talked about it with him 474 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: last week. Um, he and I talked about it was 475 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: if he goes to Golden State, I think they're the 476 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: best team you know he could go to. Realistically, if 477 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: you were to Narrow because you know, the Lakers don't 478 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: really have the assets, you kind of quashed them out. 479 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: But of the teams that have the pieces to make 480 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: a move, Golden State number one has the most pieces, 481 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: number two. If he goes there, they're probably, if not 482 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: top two, maybe top three finals odds. I think with 483 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: that roster coming back. The difference though is if he 484 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: goes to Philadelphia, he wouldn't have to take a back 485 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: seat to anybody like Steph. He wouldn't have to really 486 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: hold on hold on Joel Embiide battle Ben Simmons for 487 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: the team for years and officially it's his team. He's 488 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: the guy. They love him in Philly. You think Dame 489 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: can overtake him when you get to postseason time and 490 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: you see that it's so guard oriented and wing oriented. 491 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: That's where a guy like Dame Lillard would would win 492 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: over the hearts of Philadelphia fans. Uh. My final thought 493 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: on Dame Oh, go ahead, But I was just gonna say, 494 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: if he goes to Golden State, not only is he 495 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: in steath shadow, but he has to completely change the 496 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: way he plays, not saying he can't, but he'd have 497 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: to be playing off the ball. Saying that was like, 498 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: that was gonna be my point. That really his game. 499 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: But if he goes to Philly, he doesn't have to 500 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: change anything. Well, wait, is say not really his game? 501 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: Remember what unlocked Curry was shifting to the Steve Kurr offense, 502 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: installing Draymond Green. One of the things that Curry does 503 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: that we've never seen a guard do is give up 504 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: the ball and then move quickly and get into space 505 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: and get buckets. When Dame Lillard gives up the ball, 506 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, guys, run offense. I'm gonna take a break. 507 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: He just sits there and then he's been criticized for this, 508 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: but that's like the offense that Stots was running in 509 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: Golden State. It's like Steph Curry is just always getting open, 510 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: always and you know what's coming. They just dial up 511 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: stuff for Curry. Can you imagine Damian Lillard in the 512 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,719 Speaker 1: Curry in the Curry role? That that? I mean that, listen, man, 513 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: he could be the MVP of the league next year. 514 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: Mean freaking electric. And you know Curry's like, hey, I 515 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: made a lot of money. I'll definitely take a back seat. 516 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: If you're gonna cary us for a while. We gotta 517 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: save something for the playoffs, like Curry took a back 518 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: seat for for Kevin Durant. Like, yeah, I think this 519 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense. All right, let's quickly do 520 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: a little on I don't know, Rob, I don't have 521 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: that much on Game five. Man, I'm just disappointing. Um 522 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: the Sun's lad the series to nothing if you listen 523 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: no to the pod. After Game two, I said I 524 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: think they were in trouble. My first instinct watching Game 525 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: two was, man, these injuries, like, I don't I feel 526 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: like they're in trouble and then I you know, New 527 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: Bucks were gonna win Game three, that was the easiest, 528 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: and Game four the Suns recovering for forty seven and 529 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: a half minutes and then blew it and I forgot about. Oh, 530 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: the Sons are in trouble in Game five and the 531 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: Bucks beat up. This is absolutely bonkers. The stat of 532 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: game five, Okay, Janice, he was great thirty two that 533 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: dunk at the end forty one minutes minus seven, Okay, 534 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: that's how good the bench was. Bobby Ports and Connaughton 535 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: were tremendous. Devin Booker forts they lose, He's plus twelve. 536 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: Basically the second Devin Booker went off the court, and 537 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: I think he only went off in the second quarter. 538 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: I tried to look. I don't think he rested in 539 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: the second half, because that's what happened. At the end 540 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: of Game four. They took Booker out because of the 541 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: fouls early fourth and then boom, Bucks start coming back 542 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: and it couldn't stop the momentum. So Game five, Sons 543 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: go up sixteen in the first quarter. Book arrests in 544 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: the second Bucks right back in the game. I was stunned. 545 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: This is an indictment of Chris Paul Devin Booker is 546 00:28:54,600 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: doing his job. He's being tremendous d book forty forty 547 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: Burger plus twelve and they lose some idiot like that's 548 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: a little harsh. Somebody, somebody after the game asked Devin 549 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: Booker at the podium, you know, um, how bad do 550 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: you feel for Chris Paul or some assinine comment like that, 551 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: And Booker and Chris Paul are sitting there. They look 552 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: at each other and He's like, next question. I mean, 553 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't think people realize how good Booker has been 554 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: since the Game three clunker, which we kind of knew 555 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: was coming. The book was three or fourteen ten points. 556 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: Game four seventeen forty two points. Game five forty two minutes, 557 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: forty points. I mean, Booker is playing out of his mind. 558 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: The problem is they don't have the offense to match 559 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: the Bucks because all of a sudden, stop Buck stop 560 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: missing shots. Chris Middleton, the bate of my existence, Drew Holiday, 561 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: who had been awful in the series and we were 562 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: I was killing him and listen, this is one of 563 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: those hey that didn't age well? What what what do 564 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: you mean? It didn't age well? Drew Holiday was playing 565 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: like manure in the first two games. Hell, I think 566 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: even in game three he was bad. Let me check 567 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: the game log on Drew Holiday, because remember he was 568 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: really struggling. And then of course game five he's everywhere. Yeah, 569 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: even in game game four Drew Holiday from the field 570 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: thirteen points by far his best, you could say, the 571 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: best game of his career, twenty seven points, thirteen assists, 572 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: the game winning steal of Booker, the game clinching alley. You, 573 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it was crazy, and I jotted this down. 574 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: They put the numbers out like, oh, when so and 575 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: so is a primary defender. When Drew Holiday was the 576 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: primary defender on Devin Booker, he shot one of five. 577 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: This is a game where Devin Booker barely missed any 578 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: shots and was credible when Holiday was guarding him, Booker 579 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: was one of five. Now, when you flip it, the 580 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: numbers are scary because the son's outside of Michael Bridges 581 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: can't stop anybody. When Chris Paul was the primary defender. 582 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: This is from ESPN stats. Chris Paul was the primary defender. 583 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: The buckshot nine of twelve. Basically, it's like, oh, we 584 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: can make shots over Chris Paul. When it was Jake 585 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: Crowder who was brought in to the defense, who's got 586 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: a history of being defense. The buckshot ten of twelve 587 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: when mckail Bridges was the primary defender. Okay, the Bucks 588 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: only shot four or fourteen, so it's like Bridges can 589 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: only guard one guy at a time. And he did 590 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: a great job early on Middleton, and ultimately they just 591 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: didn't have enough. And I just I feel gutted for 592 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: Chris Paul and he hasn't played well. Is he tired? 593 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to hear any bullshit 594 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: about his injuries. Okay, you can't. You can't play that 595 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: up when you have thirty two in game one, all 596 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're playing like garbage. Um I still, 597 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, I know it's gonna sound weird. But because 598 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: Rob made the point about like Biggs DeAndre Eton has 599 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: the quietest twenty and ten, I'm like, get him the 600 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: ball more. Oh wait, you got twelve shots. He scored 601 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: twenty points Booker. Wait. Oh, they just can't stop anybody. 602 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: That's That's basically what this has come down to. And 603 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: their bench Cam Johnson really let him down. How are 604 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: you minus nineteen in twenty two minutes? That's unbelievably bad. Um, 605 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: Chris Paul really, I mean, he wasn't awful to you 606 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: just look at the number eleven grade. But they weren't 607 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: winning plays. Um, Devin Booker had the late turnover man 608 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: just a gut wrenching loss from the Son's rob Jeus. 609 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: This series over, it certainly feels that way. It certainly 610 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: feels that way. I mean, it's one thing, you know, 611 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: because you know Janice is gonna eat. There's nothing that 612 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: they can do when Phoenix and to stop him. He's 613 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: just a matchup nightmare for them. He's been one for 614 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: them all season. The problem, though, is the roller coaster 615 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: ride that is Chris Middleton and Drew Holiday is currently 616 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: like at the top of the roller coaster. So you're 617 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: waiting for them to have a bad game, and it's 618 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: just unfortunately they've been able to sustain the last two 619 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: or three games, playing really, really well. And the only 620 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: thing that I will push back on you though, is 621 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: with regards to Devin Booker, I tweeted out during Game 622 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: five that I didn't like what they were doing with 623 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: Phoenix in that third quarter when he was really going off, 624 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: like every time he down the cord. It was him 625 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: one on one or one on two or one on three, 626 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: and he was scoring. He was making some incredible shots. 627 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: Let me take away from that, but it reminded me 628 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: so much of like the twenty nineteen pre Chris Paul 629 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns, where it's like, yeah, Devin Booker is great, 630 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: he's scoring, but these are not winning plays. These are 631 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: not winning basketball. If you're gonna beat a good team, 632 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: and even if I don't think Milwaukee's the best team, 633 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: they are a very good team. You can't beat them 634 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: playing one on three, one on four, one on five, 635 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: like you need somebody else who's gonna go there with 636 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: you and and to take the load off. And it 637 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: got to a point late in that third quarter where 638 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee defenders were kind of sitting on his moves 639 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: because they knew what was coming, because they knew he 640 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna pass. And then by the time it got 641 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, it didn't look like he had 642 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: much legs left until the very end of the game. So, Rob, 643 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: if I told you you missed the game right you 644 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: were dinner with your girl. It was an anniversary, Rob, 645 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe this. The sun shot fifty from 646 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: the field sixty eight percent from three. That's not a misprint. 647 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 1: Thirteen of nineteen from three, they shot ten of eleven 648 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: on free to us, they scored a hundred and nineteen 649 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: points and they lost. There's no way you're painting that 650 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: on Devin Booker. No, I'm not. I'm not meaning to 651 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: pin it on him at all. What I'm trying to say, 652 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: and maybe it's just not doing a good way of 653 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: saying it, is that because they were not stopping Milwaukee 654 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: on the other end at all. Like it wasn't just 655 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: Joanna's versus Booker or Middleton versus Booker, it was Janice, 656 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: Middleton Andrew. They were all going off and if that's 657 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: the way that Milwaukee has it going, And even then 658 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: you had Continent was making his shots, Bobby Porteris was 659 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: making his shots. So there was no way that Devin 660 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: all Devin Booker all the time was going to be 661 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: able to keep up with that. They needed somebody else 662 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: to give him three, four or five possessions where he 663 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: can take off and save something later. But they weren't 664 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: gonna get their doors blown off in that moment, and 665 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: they just didn't have anybody, so he had to kind 666 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,359 Speaker 1: of take it all on by himself, and by the 667 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: time it got to the fourth quarter, the leader got 668 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: pushed out to like thirteen fourteen points because there was 669 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: no one other than him who was able to to 670 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: keep up that level of pace that Milwaukee had. Yeah, 671 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: I'm a I was a big Pat Connaughton guy. You 672 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: mentioned him. Um naked shots like role players making shots 673 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: on the road is just so gravy. This is a 674 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,919 Speaker 1: kid who's awesome and Notre Dame incredible athlete, nearly beat 675 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: that undefeated Karl Anthony Town's team by himself in the tournament. 676 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't he didn't have like forty or anything, 677 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: but he was just everywhere in that game, defensively, unoffensively. 678 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: Great game if you want to go look it up 679 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: on YouTube. Notre Dame, Kentucky, I think it was. That 680 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: is the second round pick he has started, so he's 681 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: been in the league six years. He was in Portland, 682 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: now in Milwaukee, started sixteen games in his career. That's it, 683 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,399 Speaker 1: making some good money and he is having a hell 684 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: of a series. Like I thought, the Son's bench was 685 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: a big advantage. Pat Connaughton has now outplayed Cameron Payne 686 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: and Cameron Johnson camera Johnson could still hang his out 687 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: on that incredible dunk a poster of somebody was it? 688 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: P J. Tucker? Oh yeah. M but Connerton has now 689 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: scored in double figures in three or five games. He's 690 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: averaging eleven. He's shooting fifty from three. Bro, you're not 691 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: losing the series when when you got a guy off 692 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: the bench in six from three. Great series for Connaton. 693 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm just worried about this on I can see a 694 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: blowout happening. I can see they're getting roasted and Milwaukee 695 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be liddy on Tuesday night. But um boy, 696 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,759 Speaker 1: there's a long Monday podcast. We just we I just 697 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: had to get in some space jam early.
