So when is the 6 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: pod back? Got a buddy traveling because you know spring break. 7 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: Obviously in Los Angeles they break it up like four 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 2: different weeks for private school, public school, LA County, not 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: La County. And he's like, j Mack, when's the pod? 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: Come on? Come on, man, I'm on the road. I'm 11 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: gonna be with my kids. I need some material. Well, 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: here you go. Unfortunately, it doesn't start out great, as 13 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: my Knicks just dropped one to the Pistons. I was 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: on the Knicks for game two. I thought, well, jeez, 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: they pulled away in game one, ripped the Pistons hard 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: out with a twenty one nothing run. Yes, I paid 17 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: attention while on spring break, though not closely or closely enough, 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: I guess, and Detroit came out and gave two and 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 2: just refused to go away. And yeah, we'll talk about 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: it shortly, but obviously spring break warrants a brief mention 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 2: at the beginning of the podcast. So since we moved 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: out here to La mostly we've been doing this standard issue. 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: Hey let's go to Hawaii, Hey let's go to Cabbo, 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: because those are close, easy trips and there are easy, 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: relaxing vacations. But now that the kids are a little older, 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: your boy's been pushing for Hey, man, we got to 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: get out and see the world. You guys are old 28 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: enough to travel. I don't know how many dads agree, 29 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: but when we had like two, three, four or five 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 2: year olds, I didn't want to go do international travel. 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: No way, that's not fun. They're not gonna remember any 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 2: of it. I didn't do any of it myself. I 33 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: kind of wish I had when I was a teenager. 34 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: But you know, we weren't like, you know, well off. 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: We were firmly middle class. And so last year we 36 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: did London and Amsterdam, and this year we decided we'll 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: go to Japan for spring break. And it was phenomenal. 38 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: I thought, without a doubt, Japan was the most impressive 39 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: best country that I've visited on the planet so far. Folks, 40 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: the people super nice, culturally, the everything Japan stands for 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: just awesome. The cleanliness of the city, and of course 42 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: the food was unbelievable. We only had one vomit in 43 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: our group the whole time. I will not reference what 44 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: it was about. We do come from a my brother's listening, 45 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: and it wasn't him. Him and his wife travel with us. 46 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: It was just it was awesome. The food was legitimately phenomenal. 47 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: I posted a bunch of stuff on ig did not 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: go on Twitter. Had to avoid it. It's too toxic, 49 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: it's not worth it. But to sum up the people 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: of Japan, how nice they are. Everybody's friendly. Now we 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: had heard, hey mean, you don't have to worry about 52 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: even putting your stuff in the safe in the room. 53 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about your passport. Nobody steals 54 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: any they just don't do that. And I was still dubious. 55 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: You know, I'm that guy on the subway who's putting 56 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: the backpack in front of him because the train is crowded. Nut, 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: gotta watch your back. And you didn't have to worry 58 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: about any of that stuff. I mean, it really was 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 2: just the culture there is just awesome. It's one of 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: hey man, it's not a crush to get on the subway, 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: to rush to a seat, you know, kind of form 62 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: a line, and if you sit down, great, If you 63 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: sit down and an elderly person comes up, just get 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: up and let an older person sit down, and it's 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: just like everybody's kind of on the same page. It's 66 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: pretty pretty awesome. Anyways, So one night we went to 67 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 2: we start out in Tokyo and then we kind of 68 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: decamped to the countryside in the mountains for a couple 69 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: of nights in Matsumoto, and then we went to Kyoto 70 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: at the end of the trip. Kyoto is way more 71 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: touristy than we thought. I thought Tokyo would be touristy. 72 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: Kyoto just extremely touristy, and it just didn't have the 73 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: feel of I thought Tokyo was great. Matsumoto, though, in 74 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: the mountains was awesome. And we go to this castle 75 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: one afternoon, a phenomenal castle, and we decide, you know what, 76 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: let's just let's we're not going to take a cab. 77 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: They're kind of expensive. Even though the yen right now 78 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: is awesome for a Maria because you're traveling mare your 79 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: money goes far. Everything's cheap. I mean, we were eating 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: six people for dinner for like sixty bucks, seriously, and 81 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: now we're not drinking a ton because you're exhausted at 82 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: the end of the day and you're going to bed 83 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: and waking up and do it again the next day 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: because there's so much to see. But we go out 85 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: one night to this castle or afternoon and then you know, 86 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: we're ready to go home, and instead of doing a cab, 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: and there's no subway in Matsumoto, we decide let's just 88 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: ride the bus. This can't be that hard to navigate. 89 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 2: But it looks like we had just missed the bus 90 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: and there's nobody else at the bus stop. And finally 91 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: people are coming to the bus stop, but it's for 92 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: a different line and we're like, oh jeez, starting to 93 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: get dark. And again we're not nervous, we're just tired. 94 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: We want to get home. So I call up chat 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: GPT and I know you guys will laugh, but honestly, 96 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: Chat GPT was huge for me. You go in a 97 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: store and you have a request. I just put the 98 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: audio in a chat GPT. How do you say men's 99 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: bracelet or whatever? How do you say men's jeens whatever? 100 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: And it comes out on chat GPT in like two seconds. 101 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: You just show it to them then okay, yeah, and 102 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: then they show you. So I to this lady, you know, 103 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: where do you know where to find a taxi cab stand? 104 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: We can't find one. We had the map and it 105 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: wasn't really showing it, and this lady, you know, this 106 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: is the Japanese people in a nutshell. The lady takes like, 107 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: you know, fifteen seconds to realize, let me think where No, no, okay, 108 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 2: and then she's like, I'll show you. But essentially and 109 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: she walks us down this huge city block, turns and 110 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: kind of points over and we're like, oh my gosh, 111 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 2: that's a taxi. She doesn't stop there. She literally walks 112 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: into the middle of the street and flags down a 113 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: taxi and essentially the guy just stops, opens the door, 114 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: and we get in. I was like, this is the 115 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: greatest lady ever. And I turned to like, you know, 116 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: give her a tip or something. They don't want any tips. 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: You can't tip anybody there, And yeah, I was just 118 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: like this, that was amazing. This lady took time out 119 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: of her day to walk us down this huge block, 120 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 2: around the block and find the taxi stand and then 121 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: get us in a taxi and that was just like commonplace. 122 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: Everybody's so nice. It was highly recommend Japan. I'm not 123 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: gonna lie, guys. It was an awesome trip, and the 124 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: kids appreciate it. I know there's some of you guys 125 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: out there who are up for traveling with your you know, two, three, four, 126 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: five year olds, and we'll do some beaches. Sure, we'll 127 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: do luck Florida and Hawaii and the Disney resource and stuff. 128 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: But I'm not doing any international travel with like a 129 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: seven year old. I just don't think it's worth it. 130 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: Now. 131 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: That's just my opinion. And the parents will say, well, 132 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to miss out on that just because 133 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: I've got a seven year old, and I would say, well, 134 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: can't she just wait? But you do your thing. We 135 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: did ours and so last year we did londond at Amsterdam. 136 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: This year we did Japan. We're trying to do some 137 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: international and it was awesome. Really really liked it. And 138 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: the drawback is I tried to call up Fubo one 139 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: night in Tokyo to watch the Lakers game, and of 140 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: course Fubo is blocked in Japan. However, you could wait 141 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: six days and then watch the game. And I'm like, well, 142 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. So I just decided I'm not 143 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 2: going to try to watch the games pointless, and then 144 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: I decided to catch up with them on YouTube, the 145 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: condensed version highlights, and of course buddies were texting me, 146 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: are you watching this Lakers embarrassment and blah blah blah sucks, 147 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,119 Speaker 2: And you know, it wasn't just that. It was like, okay, 148 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: see you up sixty baby, and you know, I'm like, okay, guys, sure, 149 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: whatever it was, it was an awesome trip. And then 150 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: I did get to watch the end of the fourth 151 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: quarter of Warriors Rockets on a bullet train as we're 152 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: going by Mount Fuji. I mean, it was just the 153 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: technology and I was able to watch that on It's 154 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: not called HBO Max, it's just called Max. So I 155 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,239 Speaker 2: didn't even know that, but I called up the box 156 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: score and I see that it's on Max. I was like, well, 157 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: I've got the app. Maybe it'll come up. Boom, there 158 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: it is. And Sef Curry awesome, Jimmy Butler very good, 159 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: Fred Van Vliet, and Jalen Green horrendous. Anyways, that's enough 160 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: about my travels in basketball. 161 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 162 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 1: the nation.

I keep looking, and 169 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: it seems like Shadoor Sanders may go three. If he 170 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 2: doesn't go three, he's probably going nine. If he doesn't 171 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: going nine, then if he doesn't go nine, then I 172 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: guess the slide could happen beyond that. But it appears 173 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: all intents are as of right now that Cleveland's not 174 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: gonna take him to two, and they want Travis Hunter 175 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: the generational talent, and Travis Hunter looks like a hell 176 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: of a good player. But yeah, I would disagree, but 177 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: we'll do more draft. NBA playoffs obviously are huge right now. 178 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: Before I get to that kid, I quickly so. I 179 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: hosted The Herd two weeks ago, and the Friday morning 180 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: of the final show, this story pops up that tannes 181 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: See and their quarterback Nico Blah Blah Blah whatever his 182 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: name is, He was holding out essentially of spring practice, 183 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 2: looking for a new nil deal. And I was saying 184 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 2: to the staff, like, guys, this story is amazing, and 185 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: they're like, well, his dad has refuted it. You know, 186 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 2: let's just hold off and wait. I was like, all right, 187 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: but instantly you could tell HM, why is he missing 188 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: spring practice? He wants a new deal? Like you, guys know, 189 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: I'm very pro anil. I want the players to get paid. 190 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: They deserve it. Holding out of spring practice for extra 191 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: money that's probably a bridge too far from me. I 192 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: thought it was a horrific look for the QB. However, 193 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: we know that teams are desperate for good players. And 194 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,599 Speaker 2: the kid landed at UCLA. Of course, UCLA's quarterback was 195 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: supposed to be a guy they just recruited through the 196 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: portal from app State. So he went from app State 197 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: to Ucla and he was going to start start. I 198 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: hadn't played a game yet, and Ucla said, hey, you 199 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 2: know what, man, we like you, but we got a 200 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 2: chance to get like a stud future NFL quarterback. We 201 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 2: got to go after him. I'm sorry, and I saw 202 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: a lot of I read a couple articles about this 203 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: earlier today, like, oh my gosh, the system is broken. 204 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: I don't know that it's broken. I think this is 205 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 2: a one off, unique case. I will say that I 206 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: don't know how this quarterback and again I get it, 207 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: chase your money, get your paper. I can't hate you 208 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: for it. I just don't know how you can get 209 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: to the point where it's spring practice and then say, Yo, 210 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: what's up? I need more money? Now. This is different 211 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: from the one. 212 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: I think. 213 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: It was a kid at UNLV who played like the 214 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 2: first two games and was good and they were ranked 215 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 2: or something like that, and then next thing, you know, 216 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: he's like, whoa, I need to hold out you. I 217 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: never got the money you promised me. That's different from hey, 218 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: I want more money. You know you get that. Like, 219 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 2: apparently this guy was just suddenly unhappy with his deal. 220 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: Did he hear that I don't know another quarterback out 221 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: more than him, or he felt he was underpaid or 222 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: he outperformed his deal. It just felt like there was 223 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: such a long time to deal with that. Why wait 224 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: until now that? I don't love that again, can't kill 225 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: the kid. Don't know his situation. There's stories I read 226 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 2: though it doesn't feel great, and I know the college 227 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 2: football fans are going to panic and think this is 228 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 2: the end of the world. It's not. Okay, it's not 229 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 2: the end of the world. This is not great, obviously, 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: but they could bounce back from this. 231 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Right. 232 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: Tennessee's got their new guy, the kid from app State 233 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: by way of Ucla for like eight minutes, and it 234 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: will sting if they don't go back to the playoff. 235 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: Tennessee member went to the playoff, got smoked by Ohio State. 236 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 2: Nico did not look great in that game, but he 237 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: had an overall good season. He's considered an NFL prospect. 238 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: I don't think he's like a first round or anything, 239 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: or lock for a first round or I think he's 240 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: a good quarterback. But I think that story is going 241 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: to be huge, and it is interesting that he landed 242 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: at UCLA. Ucla was awful last year, and awful football 243 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: means less revenue football, big generating sport. Maybe the UCLA 244 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: guys just said, hey, we got a chance to go 245 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: grab this dude. Let's go get him. Now. On the 246 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 2: UCLA basketball front, they got screwed because they're they're seven 247 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: footer from overseas. I think we talked about this on 248 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: the pod, but like a week before the vacation, he 249 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 2: had his deal locked in for UCLA and then he said, Hey, 250 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: I want to go back to Spain, you know, and 251 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: see my family. And they had a break. So he 252 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: comes back and he's like, hey, I need some amendments 253 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: to my deal. And he asked for crazy stuff, not necessary. 254 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm told it was not necessarily money. It was, hey, 255 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: I get to go back to Spain whenever I don't 256 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 2: at this summer, I can come back. I don't have 257 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: to practice with the team in the summer. And like 258 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: all this ridiculous stuff in the UCLA was like, what 259 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: the hell's going on here? Somebody must have got to him. 260 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: And of course he lands at Dundunda Dunn, Michigan. Yes, 261 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: in the Big Ten. That will be interesting college basketball. 262 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: But listen, this is the world that college basketball is now. 263 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 2: I know the purists will say, you can't really love 264 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 2: your team because you can't follow guys for two and 265 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: three and four years. That just stinks. Yeah, it's probably 266 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: not fun, but that's the way it is. I remember 267 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: in and I think I've used this line before. Free 268 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 2: agency killed the game from Last Boy Scout. I'm sure 269 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: some people will say free agency kill college football. But 270 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: you know what, the players are making a ton of money. 271 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: The ratings are through the roof interest nationally has skyrocketed 272 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: thanks to Deon Sanders in Colorado, Michigan with Harball, then 273 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: Ohio State's incredible run. Like college football is having a 274 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: great moment right now? Now? Is this gonna last? If 275 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: this stuff gets out of control? We've got quarterbacks circling around, 276 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: going to three four teams in four years, that's possible, 277 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: but I don't know that we're there yet or even 278 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: close to it. I just thought that was an utterly 279 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: fascinating story. You don't get a ton of great college 280 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: football in April outside of the draft, but that story 281 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: of the Tennessee UCLA quarterback situation was fun. Now to 282 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: the NBA Playoffs. My Knicks needed a twenty one to 283 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: nothing run in Game two Game one to come back 284 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: and win. Detroit was in control. Well, Detroit was in 285 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: control for much of Game two as well, before a 286 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: late Knicks run tied it and the Dennis Shooter had 287 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: a big three to propel Detroit to victory. I did 288 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: hear Grant Hill making some comments, oh, Jalen Brunson looking tired, tired, 289 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: legs a lot of minutes this season. He said that 290 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: about Brunton and Bridges. Bridges had a brutal fourth quarter 291 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: over four missed three threes. Here's why that comment's interesting. 292 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: Grant Hill, former player, probably talk to the players and 293 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: paid attention to what went on with the Knicks, and 294 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: specifically Bridges and Heart and Thibodeaux, and I wonder if 295 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 2: the players are planting that stuff now with grand Hill 296 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: a trusted voice. Now, grand Hill did not allude to 297 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: the players saying anything. He just was like, they're tired legs, 298 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: missing threes. You wonder if the minutes are getting to them. 299 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: I have a different theory. I mean that that's one theory, 300 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: but I have a se another one. So you guys 301 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: know by now, if you're an NBA follower, the Thompson 302 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 2: twins ones on Houston, I'm in, and then on Sar 303 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: Thompson is on Detroit, I'm in. Thompson's better right now 304 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: on Sar on Detroit is not an offensive guy. But 305 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: if you watch that game closely, on Sar Thompson, long 306 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: tough defender picked up Jalen Brunson ninety four feet the 307 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 2: entire game that he was in now he picked up 308 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: a lot of fouls, but he was grabby, pushy. He 309 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: was in Brunson's grill the whole game. Now, Brunson let 310 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: the record. State did end up with thirty seven, but 311 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: it was on twenty seven shots. He was twelve of 312 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: twenty seven. Jalen Brunson six turnovers, not his best game. 313 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: I believe Thompson, yes, did wear him down. And this 314 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: is another factor. Thompson fouled out. He picked up his 315 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: six foul. When the score was ninety to eighty Detroit. 316 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: Thompson goes out, Dennis Shuter comes in. Nick's going a 317 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: fourteen four run. We know Dennis Shuoter is not a 318 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: primetime player. Okay, he's bounce around the league guy because 319 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: he's Dennis Shuter, and that's what he does. Fourteen to 320 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 2: four knicks run ties the game. No Thompson to slow Brunson. 321 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: Brunson can make a or offense happen. Shreoter cannot stand 322 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: in front of him. But then what happens. Shooter, who's 323 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: an offensive guy, hits a big time three. He ended 324 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: up with twenty points. He had a pretty good game 325 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 2: coming off the bench, scoring defensively, He's a he can't 326 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: guard anybody. Dennis Shooter hits the three, and that was that. 327 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: If I'm the Knicks, and I told you guys about this, 328 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: I am a little nervous for this series. I have 329 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,239 Speaker 2: been for before it was even settled. I was like, 330 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: I don't know that I want to play Detroit. Okay, now, 331 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: the alternatives were not great. Indiana looks really friggin good. 332 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: Milwaukee shockingly could get Dame Lillard back here for Game two. 333 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: That would stun me with this blood cought situation. So 334 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: the options weren't great for the Knicks. And I'm just 335 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 2: telling you right now this Game three Nicks Detroit. Let's 336 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 2: see when it is. It's on the twenty fourth, Because 337 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: I'm dumb, I have to look at a calendar. Uh, 338 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: that's on Thursday. So the Knicks get an extra day 339 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 2: of rest for I guess the travel. And that's a 340 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: big game. That's probably the biggest Detroit Pistons game since 341 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: like two thousand and eight. By the way, that was 342 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 2: the last time they won a playoff game two thousand 343 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 2: and eight. I was not at Fox. I had not 344 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: sold the website yet. It has been a long ass 345 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: time since his team's have been relevant that Detroit Pistons 346 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: arena is going to be juiced up. And I know 347 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: the Knicks are veterans and they've been through some battles, 348 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: but I wonder if you were a boxing scorecard eight quarters. 349 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: Nicks obviously got the fourth quarter of Game one. I 350 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: don't know that I can find another quarter the Knicks 351 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: definitively one. Now. I know they got the fourth quarter 352 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: in Game two twenty seven to twenty five, but like, guys, 353 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: I'm talking definitively one, like that was their quarter. They 354 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: owned it, they dominated. The Knicks have won one quarter 355 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 2: essentially in the series. Detroit hasn't won all the others. 356 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: A couple have been like basically even. But this is 357 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 2: not a bad Pistons team. And Kate Cunningham is emerging. 358 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be one of the bigger stories 359 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,239 Speaker 2: in sports. Here on Tuesday, now, I am recording this 360 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 2: before Denver the Clippers is over. Sorry, getting off the 361 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: plane on Monday didn't sleep a ton. I'm jet lagged 362 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: to Hell and I was falling asleep during Nix Pistons, 363 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: So I should have waited for the Clippers Game ten, 364 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: but I just don't have it in me, I'm too tired. Sorry. 365 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 366 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 367 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to 368 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: listen live. 369 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: So in the event that nothing crazy happens in that one, 370 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: I think Kate Cunninghan is going to be your big 371 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: sports story. He is twenty three years old. He had 372 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: thirty three points, twelve boards, only three assists, but he 373 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: was largely unstoppable. He made more free throws than Jalen Brunson, 374 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: something that never happens now. This game was listen a 375 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: little controversial in that the Pistons were twenty eight to 376 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: thirty four from the line the Knicks sixteenth of nineteen. 377 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: That's a difference of plus twelve at the free throw 378 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: line for Detroit in New York and New York drives 379 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: a lot. New York drives and shoot threes. I thought 380 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 2: New York kind of got screwed on the whistle in 381 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 2: the first half when they shot one free throw and 382 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: the Pistons had like twelve or thirteen. Detroit cannot shoot straight. 383 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: Beasley if he's off. Tim Hardaway was oh for eight 384 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: over six from deep. They just benched him. Beasley won 385 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 2: for eight from three. So basically, Hardaway and Beasley, your 386 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: two three point gunners were two of sorry, one of fourteen, 387 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: and you still won. I was on the Knicks last night. 388 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: That was a tough loss. I really thought after Detroit 389 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: got their heart ripped out they would just roll over. 390 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: It did not happen at all, which says a lot. 391 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 2: They got a good coach and Bickerstaff, they got a 392 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 2: good star in Cave Cunningham. And I floated this on Twitter, 393 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: who would you rather build your franchise around John Morant 394 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 2: or Cave Cunningham, And overwhelmingly the response was Cave Cunningham obviously, 395 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 2: and usually you don't get that. Jah Moran obviously a 396 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: very talented, high flying acrobat. He's also a little spotty 397 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: off the court, shall we say. Kate Cunningham is a 398 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: pros pro. He did miss an entire season at the 399 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: beginning of his career with the ACL. I think he's 400 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: really good man. He's just a tough matchup. He can 401 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 2: score going to the hoop against almost anybody. He's got 402 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: good connection with the kid Jalen Duran, the young big 403 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: fella out of Memphis, man if those shooters can make 404 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 2: any shots. Look out and I don't want to keep 405 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 2: forcing the issue, but keep an eye on Thibodau in 406 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: this offseason. I know he's beloved, but that style just 407 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: can grate on you. And I wonder when you've got 408 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 2: guys like who's the Bodenholzers out there? He's good, you know, 409 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: he wants to get back in after the Phoenix disaster. 410 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: He got fired. Phoenix went one and done with their 411 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: last two coaches. That would take you out of the 412 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant running. I'm assuming, but it seems like he's 413 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 2: probably going to sin as we've been speculating here for 414 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: a while. Michael Malone to the next with all that talent, 415 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 2: I think it's dangerous. Let me quickly talk about tonight's games. 416 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 2: I see the oh we got three pacers, Bucks, Dame 417 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: Lillar questionable may play coming back from the blood clot 418 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: Memphis at Okay, see okay, see one by I believe 419 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: sixty or they won by maybe fifty. They were, but 420 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 2: they were up by sixty. I don't know, some insanity. 421 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: That's the one game where I this highlight. It was 422 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 2: like a thirty eight to six run or something. Absurd 423 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 2: bottom line. We know, okayse he's really freaking good. But 424 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 2: what we don't know is is Memphis like, hey, we 425 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 2: got punked, we're bouncing back. Memphis first half is plus nine, 426 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 2: Memphis first quarter is plus it's not, it's not. I 427 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: don't see first quarter yet for tomorrow, because that one 428 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: will be very interesting. I would be looking to grab 429 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 2: Grizzlies first half or first quarter one of them. I 430 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 2: think I think there, you know again, it's twelve minutes. 431 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 2: Okac's gonna come out. Hey, we just destroyed these guys. 432 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: We Gucci, it's all no need to put And I 433 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: think Memphis obviously's gonna Desmond Baines a really good player, 434 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: Jaron Jackson, John Moran, they got dudes. They'll be fine 435 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: for a quarter or half. I don't think they're gonna 436 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: win the game. And then of course the nightcap Lakers, 437 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: Lakers are finest five and a half. Huh yeah, I 438 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: like Lakers guys. And just a couple quick words to 439 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 2: wrap up on the Lakers. Yes, Minnesota shout the lights 440 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: out twenty one of forty one from three? Is that 441 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: gonna happen again? Lakers fifteen to forty one on threes, 442 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: so essentially the same amount Memphis made six more six 443 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 2: times threes eighteen in a game they won by twenty 444 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: two the last five minutes for garbage time. That's kind 445 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: of sort of the game, interestingly, and I don't know 446 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 2: why it hasn't been talked about. Lebron did not have 447 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: a great game. But if you remember in the second 448 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 2: to last regular season game, he had like left late 449 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: with like that hip growing thing. I couldn't tell if 450 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: it was a hip or growing It might have been both. 451 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: He had like eight days off. But if you watch 452 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: other than in Game one, other than that like chase 453 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 2: down block, you didn't see that vigor and energy that 454 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: Lebron usually brings. I do believe he brings it tonight. 455 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 2: I think Luca will have more than hold on. I 456 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: have to just check. Did Luca have one assist in 457 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: the opener? Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Lucas got it. 458 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: So the question is did Luca come out and try 459 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 2: to dominate or does Lucas set everybody else up and 460 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: then dominate later. Well, I think the big counter is 461 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: they've got Lebron to dominate later. Lucas should just go 462 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 2: off early with a splash of Austin Reeves. I don't 463 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: really worry about this. I'm sure you guys have seen 464 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: the Anthony Edwards video where somebody's like, Anthony, where's your kid? 465 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: He's like talking to because Anthony Edwards is going through 466 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: some baby mama drama, and Anthony Edwards ultimately just lands on, Yeah, 467 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: my dick is bigger than you're just shouts it at 468 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: the guy in the front rock So Anthony Edwards he 469 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: is that guy. Funny. I don't think the Lakers have 470 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: any problems in this. I got Lakers in Game two winning. 471 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: I still have been six in the series. That was 472 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: my pick at the outset the series. I don't get 473 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: is Clippers Dedver no clue where that one goes. Otherwise, 474 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: I think everything's kind of cut and dry, like Boston 475 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 2: in five or six. I like the Calves over the 476 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: Heat Warriors. Rockets will be close, but it's tough for 477 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: me to pass up on the Warriors for the series 478 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 2: when they've got essentially the two best players. No disrespect 479 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 2: to Jalen Green or Shengon, but Curry and Butler are 480 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: Hall of famers. Like they got the two best player, 481 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: they gonna win the series would set up a Warriors 482 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: Lakers second round, which, oh my gosh, NBA would love that. 483 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 2: Lakers got to get it done. I think they get 484 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 2: it done tonight. All right, I'll be back, rallied and 485 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: ready for Manyana. It was a great spring break. It's 486 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: great to be back. Don't know what the Jets are doing? 487 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 2: Oh oh oh should I we're not going to talk 488 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: about the Aaron Rodgers, Yes, I got sent it to me. Aaron. 489 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 2: Glenn kind of shut him down. I kind of love that. 490 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: I kind of do, just telling him like, we don't 491 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: want you. What's wrong with that? You didn't want them? 492 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 2: You're getting disrespected because you're not very good. Aaron. All right, 493 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 2: back to more
