Speaker 3: So the two.

17
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Biggest games of the day in the NCAA turn really

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: three biggest games of the day couple of ACC teams,

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: the team called high Point. So we kind of had

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: a good first full day, right, All the games are

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: in the all the games are done, and overall, I

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: have to say above average first day. I hope that

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: wasn't the high point of the tournament. Very nice, umber

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: staying with you on these radio airwaves too long.

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: I'm like Roy Kent when he starts doing all the

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: last it is, I hate what you've done to me.

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: So because the thing is is like with the college

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: basketball tournament. Now, it used to be and I mean

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: up until maybe like five years ago, like even a

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: six to eleven game was an upset. Now it's gotta

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: be five to twelve, and even then, eh, okay, five

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: to twelve. But it really, you know, because now we

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: see so many five twelves, you can't really call him

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: there if there's a five twelve upset every year, you

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: can't really say five twelve upsets of things. But like, really,

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: when you want to say where we get excited for upsets, now,

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: we would get excited for seven ten upsets, all the

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: ten seed one, that's a the teams are so close

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: now you really have to get to like four thirteen,

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: three fourteen when you're really saying, wow, that's a really

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: big upset you gotta get you gotta.

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: Get down to there now.

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, when we look at it in terms of frequency,

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: going back to eighty five, the math on the twelve seeds.

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: They're winning about thirty seven percent of the games in

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: a row in a row, but so it's not out

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: of the question.

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: Right, and you go on down the line.

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: This year, the divide between those upper seeds and the

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: rest of the field is more stark. So if you

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: get one of those, now we're talking about chaos and

52
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: upsetting the Apple card. But the new age of college buckets,

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: just like in the football side of things, that divide

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: getting bigger and bigger. So if you have that one

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: one any given Sunday moment, it truly is rare and

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: you need to embrace it for all it's worth.

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: And it's weird.

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: But you could say, of all the excitement we had, right,

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Hubert Davis and North Carolina losing in overtime, which more

60
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: because it was North Carolina losing in overtime, and maybe

61
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Hubert Davis's job is at stake, I mean, and how

62
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: they lost it, right, I mean, where it's like, hey,

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: your guys were tires. Yeah, yeah, you didn't bench anybody,

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: you didn't rotate anybody, and you blew a nineteen point lead. Explained,

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: But we had high point win and that was kind

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: of exciting. We had a couple of games come down

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: to the end, but the biggest moment of the first

68
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: day was the almost upset with Sienna and Duke. And

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, when when when today started? Right

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: today started, I'm like, Okay, here's Sienna and Duke and

71
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, personally, Jerry McNamara, head coach of Sienna Syracuse

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Legend Right National champion in two thousand and three with

73
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: mellow starting point guard on the team.

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: Forty three points is the highest in the this century.

75
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: Twenty three years ago. The last time they were.

76
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: Good amazing, right, you know, it's funny. I was talking

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: to this with my wife today. My wife says to me,

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: we were talking about while the upset was happening, and

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: she says to me, now, wait, so three years ago

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: they could have hired Ay or McNamara.

81
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they chose Autry. Yeah. Boy was that wrong? Yeah?

82
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, all right. You know she's really helpful sometimes.

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: Huh So, how does that make you feel in that moment? Well,

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes people can break stuff down just so

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: simply where you go. Yeah, yeah, why do you gotta well,

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: you gotta hit a man where he lives, you know, Right,

87
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's that. That's like saying I've now neutered

88
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: you for the rest of the day because I cut

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: you off the knees, like you could have had that

90
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: guy like when I when I'm when I'm in the

91
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: studio a few minutes and Frostburg just said, like when

92
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm a studio, we're talking about the two thousand and

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: three NCAA title game where McNamara played. He had like

94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: six threes in the first half. I remember how electric

95
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: he was. And Frostburg goes, it was twenty three years ago,

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, well no, it's.

97
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: A sobering thing. There's no question it's a long time ago.

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: But that's like the most recent of being good for

99
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: your teams. You know, we've been to a couple of

100
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Final four since then. Teams those are afterthoughts series in

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, well remember when remember when he died a

102
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: little bit with each play we were on air, we

103
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: were worried we were gonna have to scrape them up

104
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: off the flood.

105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: I don't remember, Mike.

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: Every time we say goodbye goodbye children, I duh a little.

107
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: So I'm waking up today going okay, well, after this game,

108
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: Jerry mcnamari will be the new head coach at Syracuse. Right,

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: He's an absolute legend. He's the only one that would

110
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: want the job because Josh Shirt is staying at Saint

111
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: Louis and Brian Hodgson said no, I'd rather stay at

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: South Florida or go to Providence. Right, I'm like, okay, well, Jezus,

113
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand this is not your older brother

114
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: Syracuse team, but wow, we really that low on the

115
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: total poll? Really not a destination, no or not. Then,

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 1: as Sienna is winning this game, they're up by double

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: digits at halftime, and the whole world is stopped. Duke

118
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: can lose, dude. Look, we talked about it early in

119
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: the show. If Sienna won this game, it's the biggest

120
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: upset in sports since Miracle on Ice of nineteen eighty.

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: It's that has that kind of impact because it was

122
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Duke losing when Duke was the number one team in

123
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: college basketball, not a Duke team that they lost a

124
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: mercer as a three seed a bunch of years ago.

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: This is when Duke is the best playing against the

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: worst team to make it in the final team to

127
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: make it in Hey all right, or the final ten

128
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: to make it in. But the final team rank when

129
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: the top sixty four teams a ranked. Uh yeah, okay,

130
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: this is It's that big a deal. And I'm sitting

131
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: there going at the end, and I really want Siena

132
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: to win because obviously what it means for the show,

133
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: what it means for everything, Sienna winning again, we might

134
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: not need sports if Sienna wins this game, because nothing's

135
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: gonna get more exciting or crazy than this, Right, the

136
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: world would stop. Uh But as it getting to the

137
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: end of going, if Sienna pulls this off, Jerry McNamara

138
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: goes from hey, leaving Sienna because he left when when

139
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: Agrian Archie became the head coach at Syracuse, he went

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: to go to Siena and in three years he took

141
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: them from a doormat five hundred team making the NCAA tournament.

142
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: Like he would say, hey, uh yeah, I get that

143
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: Syracuse would be my dream job being the head coach there,

144
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking bigger. Maybe I'm the new head coach

145
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: at North Carolina or maybe some plays big who's gonna

146
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: get rid of their coach Because now suddenly Jerry McNamara

147
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: is the best head coaching candidate in college basketball because

148
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: of the near win Sianna had today. Right, you have

149
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: other guys or hot candidates and everything else. Yeah, but

150
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the near win did that. And I'm going if Syracuse

151
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: doesn't hire him tonight, like I'm gonna wake up tomorrow's

152
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: gonna be wearing a we're in the North Carolina powder

153
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: blue when he's gonna have the hat on guy jump

154
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: with his big thumb up going. I mean like this

155
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: is like Jerry McNamara has jumped from Hey, he's gonna

156
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: be the Syracuse guy now too. Uh, maybe he gets

157
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: Syracuse on the way down, like when he gets fired

158
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: by North Carolina then Syracuse hires No, that's it. He's

159
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: on the comeback trail. It's like old our old friend,

160
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: We need a coach. He needs a job here he is.

161
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't at it, So I wasn't that upset when

162
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Sienna lost. Now, from a radio host perspective, I'm like, Okay, yes,

163
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Duke nearly losing really is the best thing at this

164
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: point in the tournament. First round Duke losing would have

165
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: been amazing. But now the rest of the tournament without Duke,

166
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: that's like the that's like the major League Baseball playoffs

167
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: without the Dodgers or the Yankees. Right, It's it's a

168
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: little difficult. So it's like, while you like, you know,

169
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: when you ever get an upset early, you pay later.

170
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: But Duke almost losing was probably the best outcome. And

171
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm and it's as a radio host, I'm like, okay,

172
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: now Duke still stays in. There's still a topic. But personally,

173
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, maybe now Jerry McNamara is is ticketed

174
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: for Syracuse and it's not for North Carolina.

175
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: But I don't know, man, they were so close to

176
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: pulling that upside.

177
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: But say I was already with the headline of he

178
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: couldn't win with flag and canipple, you thought he was

179
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna win this year. Shier had his head in his hands.

180
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: That was not a guy breathing a sigh of relief.

181
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: After that game, he said he had out coached by

182
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: That is right, g Mac out coached me, flat out.

183
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: And his head was down staring directly at that desk

184
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: the whole time. And you know the thing about Shire, right,

185
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: And if here's the thing about Shire where it makes

186
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: it makes me nervous, not so much as last year,

187
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: as we talked about you had flagg and nipple and

188
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: couldn't even get to the championship game.

189
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: Is that Malik Brown? It's Syracuse.

190
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: Right after his freshman year, he was awesome and then

191
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, I want more money. I'm going to Duke.

192
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: Now he's six Men of the Year in the ACC

193
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: did an interview with Tracy Wolfson, and you know, they're

194
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: down nine at halftime or down eleven at halftime, and

195
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: he's coming out and she said, what happened in the

196
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: first half. He's, you know, give them all credit. They

197
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: played well, we got to be out ready here in

198
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the second half. And she said, what did coach say

199
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: to you at halftime? And Malik Brown said, you know,

200
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: he told us X, Y and Z and you know,

201
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: we came in and we took this game light. We

202
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be a cakewalk, and now we

203
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: know we're in it. And I saw that and I said, wow,

204
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: like that's the quiet part out loud because you know,

205
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: Duke is coming in thinking, yeah, I get it. Coach

206
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: wants to keep us on at it. But it's it's

207
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: a high point. It's Sienna. Jerry McNamara is not shooting.

208
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: He's coaching. We're gonna be fine to say that out loud,

209
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: and that takes you into the mindset of the team

210
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: that the coach and couldn't couldn't impart on them. This

211
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be a dog fight. I get that sometimes

212
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: it's difficult, but this is your judge. This is one

213
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: of the things that you can say. This falls squarely

214
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: under the job of the head coach. There's lots of

215
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: things the head coach gets blamed for that I go,

216
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: you know what, No, like the end of the North

217
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Carolina game tonight, missing free throws, that's not on Hubert Davis. Right,

218
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: you want to talk about not substituting, not calling right,

219
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: that's on Hubert Davis. But the free throws are not

220
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: guys miss free throws. What are you gonna do. Caleb

221
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Wilson not playing. He's one of your best players. What

222
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: are you gonna do when he's not playing? But certain

223
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: things are in the coach and so for Duke losing right,

224
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: for Jerry McNamara's strategy in the first half, and that

225
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: you know that you could see it was we're keeping

226
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: them from getting out in transition. We're not gonna let

227
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: them run up and down the floor on us and

228
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: that frustrated them. Okay, that's a great coaching job by

229
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Jerry McNamara, and that's on John Shire to adjust.

230
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: But from Elik Brown to say, hey, we came in

231
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: thinking it was a cakewalk. That's a bleep and fail

232
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: by shire Man. That's a fail by him saying I

233
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: did not have that, saying I did not have my

234
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 3: team ready for the first round of the NCAA tournament

235
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: with which is a lot of new guys, right, we're

236
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: relying on new players from last year. I don't care

237
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: if it's a one to six ten done. You have

238
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: to have your team.

239
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Ready because you know what, I didn't see a lot

240
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: of other ones having trouble with sixteens. I saw a

241
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: lot of other ones beginning of the game. Maybe it's

242
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: a seven eight point game, but then it's a twenty

243
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: point burial and you're on cruise control because we don't

244
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: want to go crazy. We're winning this game. But that's

245
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: an absolute epic fail. That's on Shire and this makes

246
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: me nervous for Duke the rest of the tournament going.

247
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: And John Shires a head coach in general, yeah, showing

248
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: I can recruit, I can win games during the regular season.

249
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: But wow, when I had this unbelievable talent, he fell

250
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: short last year and you didn't have your team ready

251
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: to play this game. Yeah, I mean they're a little

252
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: bit beat up, but to that point they still had

253
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: a They were thirty one and a half point favorites.

254
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: We've talked about it, all the metrics, everything, all the

255
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: analysts come back to how top heavy it is in

256
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: terms of the level of play and the talent on

257
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: these squads. And yeah, it's shire, but it's also your leadership, right.

258
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: Your players have to come out and just recognize that

259
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: everybody's looking for their one moment, and certainly on the tournament,

260
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys have not been seen by

261
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: the nation at all. And your duke, which means what

262
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. Even if they're all undersized and they're outmanned,

263
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get their biggest swing possible. In a couple

264
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: of these games, we actually saw the elbows flying for real.

265
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: But just in general, you're gonna get their best punch

266
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: and they might not have forty minutes of it, but

267
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna give you the best fight. And

268
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: we talked with Pete fu Tech last hour and a

269
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: bunch of these squads. Early on, it's like, wow, they're struggling,

270
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: all right, now they decided to play basketball. Yeah, right,

271
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: and now they win going away Michigan State Michigan and

272
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: go down the line. But in Illinois, even early on, right,

273
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, this is kind of grinding.

274
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: And then they kicked into turbo mode. But it's just

275
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: that point of you're getting everybody's best shot and you're

276
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: defined by your tournaments success. You're gonna have all the

277
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: regular season love you want, it doesn't matter. I mean,

278
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: we were looking up at the graphic they showed at

279
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: one point and it's like, coach K still has forty

280
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: one more NCAA tournament wins than Cali Perry and Izzo.

281
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: You think about the careers those two guys have, Hey, yeah, yeah.

282
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: And for coach K, he's been out a few years

283
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: and he shows up in these places and he does semit,

284
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't Cali Perry really have like fifty more, but

285
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: they didn't add that on the graphic. Yeah, but the

286
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: ones that count, he's got sixty. Okay, okay, But just

287
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: that idea of that divide and dominance when it matters

288
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: and when when you need to take care of your business,

289
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: like that's what Shire's trying to be, and everybody's trying

290
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: to do all these comparisons to coach k you almost

291
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: got buses had right off, dude. Yet that's where that's where, hey,

292
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: you know what's gonna happen. That's where Duke comes out

293
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: and says, hey, Jerry, you're our new coach Shire. You

294
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: have to go coach Syracuse now, goodbye, see you now.

295
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: You will appreciate this as I was looking at odds

296
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: for the next Syracuse coaches from two days ago, so

297
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: take it with a grain of salt. McNamara was first

298
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: at plus one seventy five, so the implied thirty six percent.

299
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: Brian Hodgson was second, third. Joe Gallo that callo Joey

300
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: Gallows dead from Merrimac, I said, not Melmack, not Merra.

301
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: I know Joey Gallow's dad. I said, c a Llo

302
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: like that would be so we could do that joke.

303
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: I want that to happen just because we can just

304
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: be joke.

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: That's right.

306
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: But this shows you how bad where the Syracuse Jobshy

307
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: Hopkins is on the list. Yeah, I mean it does

308
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: guys that have a job. I mean like this is

309
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: this is how low the job is. Like we talked

310
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: about the beginning of the show, this is not a

311
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: year for an up and coming coach to coach great,

312
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: because there's not a lot out there for him. It's

313
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: also not a great year for teams that need coaches

314
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: because there's not a ton out there to say, well,

315
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: this guy's a no brainer. It's just well, who are

316
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: the best of the up and coming coach? Okay, Josh

317
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: Shurtz is the best and Brian Hodgins is the best. Okay, great,

318
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: But so this is not a great year for either

319
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: of those things. So understand taking that with a grain

320
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: of salt doesn't matter because none of these guys be

321
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: choosing Syracusec's not a destination. Gallo Gen Joey Gallow's dead.

322
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: I said, see, oh the big attorney. He wasn't all

323
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: the papers last week? Yeah's I sir, didn't exit out

324
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: out of Fresco exit Swalling Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon

00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: way in a second. Yeah, just because it's Day one

379
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: of the NCAA Tournament doesn't mean we don't have.

380
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: A big football hot take, of course not.

381
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: However, Luka Doncic has said, you know, I see your

382
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: opening day of the NCAA Tournament, and I raise you.

383
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: A sixty point game for the Lakers in their win

384
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: over the Miami Heat, Luca has scored one hundred points

385
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: in the last two nights. So one hundred points in

386
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours. Yeah, is that like? Can

387
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: that compare to wilt? Like, if you score one hundred

388
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: points in twenty four hours, is that like the same thing?

389
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: As all the court maybe, yeah, well on the court.

390
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: On the court, yeah, on the court, yeah. I mean

391
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: we we have no, i mean real videographic evidence of

392
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: some of the other exploits, but on the court, certainly

393
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: there and then it's you know, it's next level. Because

394
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: there was some question about the availability of these guys,

395
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: given the late departure slash arrival.

396
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: To their destination.

397
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: Now it is better that they didn't have the night

398
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: in South Beach because then people can't say, oh, you

399
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: were out all nights out beach here.

400
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: They were just you know.

401
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: His first sixty point game for the Lakers since no,

402
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: since Kobe's final game. How about that?

403
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: Wow? Wow. We were on the air for that too.

404
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

405
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Now that was a great night.

406
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: We got no work out of any of the guys

407
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: at the back because they were too busy jumping up

408
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 1: and down the hall. I gotta say that was one

409
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: of the more ridiculous nights just watching that come to fruition.

410
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: We've been doing what was it, This is our thirteenth year,

411
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: so this isn't that together. I don't know that there's

412
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: been a more insane night than at work than that night.

413
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if You've had a couple

414
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: of the World Series games that I've gotten kind of odd,

415
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: but that one was different.

416
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: That it was it really was. It was insanity.

417
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: It was he started terribly and you and I were

418
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: looking at each other going, is this how it's gonna end?

419
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: Right with the what was he oho for five? Oh?

420
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 3: For six off the jump and they weren't close? No, no,

421
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 3: he was.

422
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: He was moving slowly like all of it to say,

423
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: this is not good.

424
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 3: And then it started to fall and just chaos.

425
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: And his final game, his final play was a baseball

426
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: pass for a hoop that clinched the game. Like, just

427
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: think about that for Kobe right, talk all about winning.

428
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: His final play was not another bucket or the bucket

429
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: to get to sixty. It was a big baseball pass

430
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: that resulted in the game clinching bucket of the night.

431
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a fun night, was great.

432
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: But Lucas scored sixty tonight. And we got into this

433
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: a little bit last night. The last two and a

434
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: half weeks have changed everything in the BAMVP race. Last

435
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: night we said, hey, you know what, this door is

436
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: open for Luka Dantic to win NBAMVP tonight. I have

437
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: no doubt he's going to win. I have no doubt

438
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna eventually take over the lead and win. When

439
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: you and I first talked about this, when he was

440
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: in the midst of having his big game tonight, late

441
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. When we started talking about this, you had

442
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: the odds up on your computer.

443
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 3: I have him now.

444
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: He was thirty five to one to win MVP. We

445
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: talked about it for ten minutes, and in that ten

446
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: minutes of us talking about it, his odds went from

447
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: thirty five to one down to between twenty and twenty

448
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: two to one. So we are affecting change here at

449
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. We talked about it and it went

450
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: from thirty five to one. You watch you go to

451
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: thirty to one and then between twenty and twenty two

452
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: to one at different places. Now you want some chaos

453
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: as we sit here right now, all the money is

454
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: pushed to the top of the board. Okay, So shake

455
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: Gilds is Alexander who is minus fifteen hundred. Okay is

456
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: now my is two thousand? Okay probability Okay, Luka dancits

457
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: eighteen to one.

458
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: Eighteen to one, eighteen to one.

459
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: And now when Benyama went from twenty five to twenty seven.

460
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: Everybody else starting shot tonight. But that's just it, right,

461
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: he hits a big game winner and it doesn't matter.

462
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: But Jokic just drifted all the way out to forty

463
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: to one, Jalen Brown out to two hundred to one.

464
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: Remember he got up to forty to one. Cunningham is

465
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna probably not have the games so because he's now

466
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: out for a while with his collapse long so, but

467
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: this is why I say, okay, it's still SGA, because

468
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: SGA had been given.

469
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: A pretty big lead.

470
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: And the reason why Luca is gonna win is it's

471
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: a perfect storm for him to do this because this

472
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: year for the NBA MVP, it hasn't been who's the

473
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: best player. It's gonna be who's playing in the most games,

474
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: like who's getting to sixty five games? And this is

475
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: a year where Gildas Alexander still having another tremendous season,

476
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: the thunder at the top of the Western Conference. We

477
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: thought they were gonna win seventy five games in the

478
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: season started with that. You know, without breaking a sweat,

479
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do that, obviously, But okay, in a

480
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: year in which hey, okay, Jokic isn't gonna have the

481
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: games wemby these guys. He's still having a great season.

482
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: He's the de facto MVP, But now you have someone

483
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: who is grabbing the narrative and saying, hold on a second.

484
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: The Lakers have now won eight in a row, right,

485
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: And we talked about SGA being the overwhelming favor Two

486
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: and a half weeks ago, the Lakers were languishing sixth

487
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: and seventh place in the Western Conference. And I'm sorry,

488
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: but you have to lead your team somewhere if you're

489
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna win MVP, because MVP is not Player of the Year.

490
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: Uh, you have to lead.

491
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: And if the Lakers finished six or seventh, I can't

492
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: vote for Luca for MVP because you're six or seventh.

493
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: If you're that good, you should be able to raise

494
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: your team up higher. Well, you have now seen Luca

495
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: in the last eight games, averaging well over thirty points

496
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: I think thirty five points a game. The last eight games.

497
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of fifty points games, got the

498
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: sixty point games, got a couple of triple doubles.

499
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: He is so quickly seizing the narrative. And there's still.

500
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: A bunch of time left there's still another month plus

501
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: to go of games where Luca continuing this hot streak,

502
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers finish third, guess what, all those votes from

503
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: SGA are gonna go to Luca because we just watched

504
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: Luca take this away from SGA. It's become a bigger debate.

505
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: People are gonna change their votes, They're gonna change what

506
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: they're thinking because Luca is the sexier of the two players.

507
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: You can see some of the anti SGA that's out there.

508
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: All he does is get to the free throw line.

509
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 3: Huh.

510
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: The Luca complaining about calls. No one's saying that the

511
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: last two and a half weeks. When you're scoring thirty five,

512
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: forty fifty five, fifty five sixty points in a game, Yeah,

513
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: that kind of goes away. He is the sexy choice.

514
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: He is grabbing the narrative. And if the Lakers finish third,

515
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: and right now they have a two game lead over

516
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: both teams at four and five, and there's only twelve

517
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: games left, right you're talking about the two games is

518
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: a pretty big deal. When you getting to this point

519
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: in the season, especially when you have games against many

520
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: teams that have quit, you're gonna have rollover games. But

521
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Luca has done this, and he has picked up the

522
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: team and is doing this himself as good as Austin

523
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Reeves has been as much credit as given Lebron James

524
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: for sacrificing, and he has the guy sacrificed that he

525
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: was invisible. Lebron had a huge triple double tonight, had

526
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: a huge triple double. Barely noticed he was on the

527
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: floor because of what Luca is doing. This is not

528
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: just an eight game thing. And the voting is tomorrow.

529
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: This is what we have seen and now another month

530
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: for more Luca. The momentum. You can tell the world

531
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: is going. I was a doubt, it's been in doubt

532
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: when they were winning Game one. You got it, game one.

533
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: They gotta win, gotta win games, Gotta finish high in

534
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: the spatch, gotta finish high in the team. I'm with

535
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: you now. He wasn't three weeks ago. Wait, but he's

536
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: here now. But he's here now. Yeah, I mean the

537
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: big thing is they're they're beating good teams consistently. That's

538
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: something they did not do earlier in the year, even

539
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: with a gaudy record. It was fat and up by

540
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of busters. And you know, also ran squads. Look,

541
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: you can only beat who's on the schedule, but when

542
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: consistently you're falling short against good teams, there's a problem.

543
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: Now you're getting better buy in defensively, still don't have

544
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: a deep enough rotation, but the postseason is the postseason.

545
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: Where they sit right now, the Lakers have let's see

546
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: the twentieth hardest remaining schedule, our twentieth easiest. I guess

547
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: at a four to eighty five clip, you still have

548
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: two games head to head against OKC on the schedule,

549
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: as well as Detroit and Cleveland and Phoenix and Orlando.

550
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: Those are on the plus side of teams that you

551
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: still have to go through. And for Luka Danciks twelve

552
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: games remaining, you do have the opportunity to go win

553
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: a couple of those head to heads. And this is

554
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: where it gets interesting for OKAC because you've seen the

555
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: minutes on SGA tamp down these last few games, blowout

556
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: scenarios and where the games are in the back. But

557
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: also they don't matter, so he's getting to his twenty

558
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: points and then operation shutdown more or less. So wondering

559
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: if you see a couple more of those right the

560
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: street keeps going, which is all fine and good. But

561
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: if Luca's heroics continue and they keep playing better defense,

562
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: and they take care of business in one or both

563
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: of those games against OKC and against some of these

564
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: better teams, then the arguments there. Look, we could talk

565
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: about how great some of these guys were, right a

566
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. It was look how great Steph

567
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: Carr Curry is, but their team staks. Oh yeah, yeah,

568
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: a look at some of the other players, right, Brunson

569
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: had a great run in for a minute, it was exciting.

570
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, we mentioned him. It's like, all right, starting

571
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of momentum. All right, Jason

572
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: Tatum came back. Yeah, So now you're not a one

573
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: man gang anymore, right, you have a wolf pack, And

574
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: so it doesn't work the same way for Luka doncis

575
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: even though you have Austin Reeves and Lebron James laying

576
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: his body out.

577
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 3: Whatever.

578
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: Everybody's gravitating back to the narrative of hey, he got

579
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: traded here and he was supposed to lead them to greatness,

580
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: and now down the end and the season, what are

581
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: we getting. Here's NCAA tournament talk. But hey, Luca Luca

582
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: went for sixty. Bam Adebayo going ah, look at that,

583
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: trying to get his run in the post, but saying

584
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: look how great he was.

585
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: Nobody members Mike that he dropped eighty.

586
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: That was only a week ago, and it seems like

587
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: so far away. I mean, look, it's and Luca scored

588
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: his sixty tonight. We're all legits. It were sixty legit points,

589
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: like you needed all of them to hold off the

590
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: heat in this game. It's not like this is a

591
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty five point burial. Yeah, you win by a couple

592
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: of possessions, but you still need to do this all

593
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: the way to to finish the job.

594
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean we're down like fifteen in the four.

595
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right again, no one would have blamed the Lakers

596
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: if they shut it down. Hey they've won seven in

597
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: a row, you know, second out of tough game. But

598
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: instead they go out and win. And I'm telling you, man,

599
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: this is something. This is where you know, we talk

600
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: about the Big three for the Lakers, but this is

601
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: stuff we watched Luca do in Dallas, single handedly getting

602
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: them to the top of the conference. I mean, this

603
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: is him finally being comfortable enough being the guy that

604
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: he was for most of his career, not that he's

605
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: ever been bad with the Lakers, but okay, he's got

606
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: to adjust a little bit and then things have to change.

607
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: He's got to figure out how to play with Lebron,

608
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: how to play with Austin Reeves, how to play with

609
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: some of the new guys. And I get that, but

610
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: he is now someone that is jumping out at the

611
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: right time of the season to seize the MVP narrative.

612
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: This is him reeling in SGA right to go from

613
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: thirty five to one. Matt, what is it seventeen to one?

614
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: You see, it's team eighteen to one now and him

615
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: and SGA are the only two guys on the board,
