13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: We got a play of the day, and of course

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Ethan will supply us with a great stat of the

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: day or two. Remember when the Lakers were on the verge,

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: the verge of what falling apart being swept, being beaten,

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: eliminated in the first round. That's a long time ago, right.

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: They picked up the win last night through up three

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: games to one, and it started out quick and it

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: progressed after that. Lakers look good and Portland looks spent.

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: I said this going into the series I didn't know

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: what Portland had left. They took Game one and got

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: everybody's attention, so much so Charles Barkley said Blazers were

24
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: going to sweep the Lakers. Well, if you take away

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter of that game. In Game one, the

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: Lakers have outplayed the Blazers, but that first quarter. And

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: this is a problem a pattern we've seen with the Lakers.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: They get behind. Well, that wasn't the case last night,

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: because you must get out in front so you take

30
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: less pressure off your bench when the role players come in.

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: But that hasn't been the case for the Lakers. But

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: last night they played well and now they're on a

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: verge of moving on as they lead three games to one.

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Last night, Lebron James became the first player in the

35
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: history of NBA Playoffs to do the following have at

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: least thirty points, at least ten assists, at least five rebounds,

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: shoot eighty percent from the field, and eighty percent from

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: three point range, all in the same game. No one

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: has ever done that in the history of the NBA Playoffs.

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Stat of the day, stat of the day, that best

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: stat of the day, stat of the day here comes

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: that what stat of the day. I'm waiting for somebody

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: to spend that in a negative like You can't criticize

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: Lebron with a performance like that, Can you make it

45
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: in about himself? Yeah, well somebody's going to also. Lebron

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: has taken part in thirty two twenty point playoff wins,

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: so they won by as many as twenty point twenty

48
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: points or more. He's done that thirty two times in

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: his playoff career. That ties him with Kareem for the

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: most all time. I don't know if they've solved all

51
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: their problems, because you they're good at times great, but

52
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: they're inconsistent and if you run into a team that

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: is far more consistent. But here's the thing. You look

54
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: at the Western Conference. I don't know what you get

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: with the Rockets. The Rockets. Don't know what you get

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: with the Rockets. I'm not sure what you get with

57
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers right now. You got the MAVs thrown in

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: there as well, Utah if they advanced past Denver. I

59
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: don't know if you look at anybody right now and say,

60
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're getting every single night, Dallas,

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna get. I don't know

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: what you get tonight MAVs Clippers, Is Porzingis playing Jazz

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: Nuggets Game five coming up tonight. Can Donovan Mitchell do

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: it again? But the inconsistency there is what makes the

65
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: Western Conference open for business. Speaking of the Rockets, they

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: live and die by the three, and I think they're

67
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: one of the great regular season curiosities in NBA history.

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: The problem is they're a conundrum when it comes to

69
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the postseason. And this is why you can't count on

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: last night. They started out well, played well, and then

71
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: they go missing what twenty three of twenty five three

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: pointers at one stretch, and they're still in it because

73
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: they shot almost forty percent from three point range. They

74
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: took fifty nine threes. But I can't count them. Love

75
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: the curiosity they're They're always interesting. There's always a plot

76
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: subplot with them. I think they got a coach who's

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: a dead man walking James Harden. Now we don't even

78
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: have Russell Westbrook back yet in Oklahoma City with Chris

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: Paul holding on to pick up that victory last night,

80
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: so that series tied to two games apiece. But you

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: start to watch James Harden and he only has so

82
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: much energy to be able to do this. You know,

83
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm not asking him to play defense, although he played

84
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: defense a couple of times last night. I had a

85
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: couple of steals, but why not give him a breather.

86
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: At one point he was hitting the an iron if

87
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: you're tired, you know, as a shooter hitting the front iron.

88
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Give him a little bit of a break. But they

89
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: didn't do it. And here they are. Are they a

90
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: better team than Oklahoma City? Not right now because Westbrook's

91
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: not in there in Oklahoma City with Chris Paul. They

92
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: did what they needed to do last night, and Chris

93
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: Paul has played extremely well. But you're trying to figure out,

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, exactly what's going on with these playoffs. You know,

95
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: the Bucks up three one on the Magic, the Heat

96
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: sweep the Pacers. We didn't think there would be much

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: of a storyline with the East and there isn't right now.

98
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: But man, I love watching the Miami Heat. And I

99
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: said it a couple of days ago with what pat

100
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: Riley has done. And Eric Spoelstra is going to the

101
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Eric Spolstro. Eric Spoelstra will be a

102
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame coach when it's all said and done,

103
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: they will what they've done with that Miami roster. You know, dragics.

104
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: I love bam Adebio is a wonderful surprise story there. Duncan, Robinson,

105
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, like, they just have some Tyler hero and

106
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: they make it work and they end up sweeping the Pacers.

107
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're going any further than this,

108
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: but they are a fun team and they've cobbled together

109
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: a roster that if I said, hey, that's gonna be

110
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: the Heat's roster, you're gonna go. Oh, They're gonna be

111
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: in the lottery. They're dangerous team. They're good team, fun team.

112
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: But that was last night. Lakers roll the Blazers up

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: three one. Damian Lillard has banged up there. The seventy

114
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Sixers made it official they fired Brett Brown. Here's a

115
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: question for you, and I was wondering about this, if

116
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: you could have the seventy Sixers job that's open, the

117
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: next job that's open, or the Pelicans job that's open,

118
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: and the Spurs job might be open. But I get

119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: the feeling if Popovich leaves, he would want to leave

120
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: that to maybe Tim Duncan or Becky Hammond, the assistant

121
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: coaches there, that maybe one of those two would get

122
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: that job. But if you start to look at this,

123
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: the seventy six ers job doesn't look good because of

124
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: the way they went out with Ben Simmons. I don't

125
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: think they're swept by the Boston Celtics, but I'm not

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: sure what the residue left over from this sweep is

127
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna look like. You know, they got it feels like

128
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: they got a bloated roster as far as the salary cap.

129
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: Joe lm Beat and Ben Simmons could turn out to

130
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: be Hall of Fame players, and anybody who takes over

131
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: that job is probably gonna want to say this, Let's

132
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: keep those two together. Give me one year with them

133
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: and let me see if I can figure this out.

134
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris has it worked out. I think he's a

135
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: really good player. They overpaid for him. Al Horford, you know,

136
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: if you brought him in to help your locker room,

137
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: he did not do a good job and you got

138
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: you brought in an aging Al Horford. Celtics had to

139
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, go ahead, take him. Well, you're gonna

140
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: pay him ninety seven million, go ahead and take him.

141
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: You know, that's a team that needs some shooters. But

142
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: that's an interesting test case there of taking over that team,

143
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: the Nets. You're gonna take over a team that is,

144
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, feisty, scrappy, But then you bring in a

145
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: couple of superstars in Kyrie and KD. Is Greg Popovich

146
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: interested in coaching the Nets? And apparently is a real

147
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: story because Sean Marks, who is the GM of the Nets,

148
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: played for Popovich. Maybe you offer him a piece of

149
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: the team. At least that's what I would want if

150
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm coming in there. And then you got New Orleans.

151
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna trade Lonzo Ball? Does anybody want Lonzo Ball?

152
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: You still got Zion, But I'm not sure about Zion

153
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: and the race against his body Ingram is good. Reddick

154
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: is on the tail end of his career. You got

155
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: heart there, I mean you got You're not quite sure

156
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: what you have there. So I think if you look

157
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: it upside, I'm looking at the Nets because that team

158
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: can win a championship. I don't think the seventy six

159
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: ers can win a championship right now. New Orleans certainly can't.

160
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: But with KD and Kyrie and the and the rest

161
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: of that roster, that team can win a championship. But

162
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: I think jacque Vaughn probably coached himself. Well, I think

163
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: they're waiting to hear from Papa bitch. But jacque Vaughn

164
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: got those guys to play hard, and that's exactly what

165
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: you want. But who is going to be able to

166
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: come in and coach Kyrie and KD. You can coach

167
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: the younger players, can you coach Kyrie? Yeah? Old habbits

168
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: die hard Yeah. McLevin Sixers fan calling in here. If

169
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: the Warriors offer the number two pick for Joe LMB,

170
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: do you do it? No? Well, why do I want

171
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: Joel and Beat on this? The Golden State Warriors a

172
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: lot of Sixers? Well no, I'm saying, oh, because the

173
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: Warriors actually I read a long shore on this. Stay

174
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: like having a big man and Beat can shoot and

175
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: they always go unorthodox and he might be had for

176
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: a songwriter because they're not. They don't want Simmons. There's

177
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: no way they want Simmons. Simmons would clog up everything

178
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: they do. Yeah, I don't. I don't know what Golden

179
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: State wants to do with that number two pick, because

180
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: you've got James Wiseman, the kid had played at Memphis

181
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: for like eleven games and then got suspended the rest

182
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: of the year. Do you want a seven footer or

183
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: run in the floor. And I'm hearing that there's a

184
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: lot more hype to Wiseman than there is talent, that

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: maybe he's in this draft. He's going to be thought

186
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: of a little bit higher than he should be. It

187
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: didn't take long. I did say, somebody will spend this

188
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: in a negative way, that Lebron James just did something

189
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: last night that has never been done in the history

190
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: of the NBA in the playoffs. Skip Bayliss tweeted, I

191
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: love watching front Lebron front run against a bad team. Well,

192
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: of course Skip doesn't like Lebron, or at least he

193
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: gives you the impression that he doesn't like Lebron, and

194
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: so he said that Lebron was front running against a

195
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: bad team last night. Apparently, nobody else in the history

196
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: of the NBA has ever front run like Lebron did

197
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: against a bad team. In the history of the NBA playoffs,

198
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: nobody's ever done what Lebron did yes weekleven This is

199
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: not a negative question, but where was this Lakers team

200
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden everybody's hitting three's Cantavious Cabo Pope.

201
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: I thought they couldn't shoot before last night. I think, well,

202
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're getting from those guys. I

203
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: have no idea of night to night when I watch Kuzma.

204
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: What am I getting? All? Right? I got eighteen? You

205
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: give me eighteen? Great, they didn't need much last night.

206
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: I want to see when they get into that half

207
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: court where you have to have a design play and

208
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: you're able to do that and Anthony Davis still has

209
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: to emerge as the best player on the floor if

210
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: they're going to win a championship. Age seven seven three

211
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: d P show email address DP of Dan Patrick dot com. Well,

212
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: you gotta pull question, McLevin. So I'm gonna put up

213
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: your question. Which VAGA team would you like? The Nats,

214
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: six Ers, Pelicans. I just looked it up at The

215
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: Bulls are apparently vacant too, but that doesn't count. Would

216
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: we consider putting the Houston Rockets all? There is a

217
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: too early? It's too early. It's they're tied at two

218
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: games apiece. Let's see what happens the next game. Let

219
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: give me a couple of days before we put it

220
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: in there. By the way, is that talking about a

221
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: tough job, but that's in trying to coach Harden and Westbrook. Yeah,

222
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't want that job now. I love watching the

223
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Rockets play, don't get me wrong, but I don't want

224
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: James Harden as my star and I wouldn't want to

225
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: coach that team. But I do love watching them. They're fascinating.

226
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: And I'm watching last night and they just kept shooting threes,

227
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: which is fine, But I gotta give James Harden a

228
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: little bit of a breather here. This happens every single

229
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: playoff and we even had what four months where they

230
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: guys got rest. James Harden gets gassed in the playoffs.

231
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: Happens every year, and last night he was gassed. Yes, point,

232
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what the Rockets practice is, Like, what

233
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: are what are they practicing on offense? Hey, Jam run

234
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: around with the ball and maybe passes someone once in

235
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: a while, or do they practice like him not on

236
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: the floor. I'm gonna guess you just shoot free throws

237
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: and shoot threes James Harden, because that's basically what he does.

260
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,560

261
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: variety of things, whatever you're interested in. And I'm going

Speaker 1: to guess we're now at five hundred entries here, but

263
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: all over the world. I was listening to one a

00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: pitch from Ireland yesterday, one from Israel yesterday, So all

265
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: over the world people have been submitting. So it's really great,

266
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of competition. Just letting you know.

267
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: I was also watching Oklahoma City last night and I

268
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: start to wonder about Chris Paul. And you start to

269
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: look at Chris Paul's career and you know, interesting college career,

270
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: played at a smaller school, but not you know, a

271
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: big school in the ACC, and then he goes into

272
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: the NBA and you know, you go into New Orleans.

273
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: They had to play a season in Oklahoma City. He

274
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: almost got traded to the Lakers, and then he's been

275
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: traded a few times. You got the Clippers, you had

276
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: the Rockets, and then you go to Oklahoma City. There

277
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: was a lot of buzz with that Clippers team. They

278
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: had the nucleus there with Blake and DeAndre, Jordan Crawford,

279
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: and you had just Chris Paul. Yeah, so Chris Paul

280
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he goes to Houston.

281
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Then James Harden and Chris Paul have a falling out,

282
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: and then he goes to Oklahoma City. What is he

283
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: known for? Because he's going to be a Hall of Famer.

284
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: But if I said, hey, Chris Paul, what comes to mind?

285
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: He almost got traded to the Lakers. That's when the

286
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: NBA was running the team and they said, David Stern

287
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: nicks that deal. And he's known for TV commercials, played

288
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams, high level. But what is

289
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Chris Paul known for? When you think of Chris Paul,

290
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I think of the commercials first of all. I'll think

291
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: of he had a couple of moments on the floor

292
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: where he hits some couple of players below the belt,

293
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: and he almost got traded to the Lakers. But it's

294
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career with no real signature a

295
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: moment because they never did anything in the postseason. Yeah. See,

296
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're describing a compiler Dan Well. I

297
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: don't know what he compiled other than a lot of assists.

298
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: If you'd like at somebody who played for a long

299
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: time but has no real signature him. Yeah, and he's

300
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: never been the best player though Mike Mike Trout's the

301
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: best player, but he has nothing to really show for it.

302
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got MVPs. He's the best player in

303
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: the game, but he's played with three playoff games. Heah mclovin.

304
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: He's been head of the Union for a long time now.

305
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: He's sort of become more vocal in that. It seems

306
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: like that's where his interest lies to some degree. Yeah,

307
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: and I think that you go back to the SPS

308
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: when he got up there with Lebron d Wade Carmelo

309
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: and uh. But I was just kind of curious with

310
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: Chris Paul because he's a great player, but he's a

311
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: he's a point guard with a mid range jump shot,

312
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: and but he's gonna be a Hall of Famer. Yeah,

313
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: point I was going back to look at those Clippers teams.

314
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: He had a couple of good runs where they went

315
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: deep into playoffs and they never got to the finals.

316
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: But that was that was the buzz. He was like

317
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: the alternate version to the Lakers in town him. They

318
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: had a lot of people watching them from that three

319
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: or four your period. I know of their back Clippers again,

320
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: but they have a good run for three. We'll take

321
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: a break here, we'll get phone calls. We'll settle on

322
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: our poll question Reggie Miller a little bit later on.

323
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: It's and really there's an interesting story going on with

324
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: college football. I know there's a lot of interesting stories.

325
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: But a school is going to play one game, just

326
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: one game, to make sure that NFL scouts get to

327
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: see their star player. We'll talk about that coming up

328
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: a little bit later on twenty after the hour. Just

329
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,560

336
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: First swing of the day on the golf simulator nearly

337
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: jarred it Part three, seventh at Pebble Beach, and we

338
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a contest going on that

339
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: My cameraman, his name is Weeks, and I said, if

340
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: I get a hole in one during the segment, is

341
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: this the day I fire? Weeks then I fire him,

342
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: but you know it's all in good fun. Yes, boy,

343
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: have you ever had a hole in one on a

344
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: real golf course? No? Have you hit the stick? Yes,

345
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: like on the fly and then bounces out or bounces away,

346
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: bounced up, hit the stick? Yeah, I was going in hot.

347
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: As they like to say, would you rather have a

348
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: hole in one or a two on a par five?

349
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: Hole in one? I've been with a guy and we

350
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: were in Ireland and he was two hundred and fifty

351
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: three yards out at Old Head was the name of

352
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: the golf course. And I'm having the round of my life.

353
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm playing great. This guy is terrible and he gets

354
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: up from two fifty three and he makes it. So

355
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: this a par five. He's two fifty three out and

356
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: he made it in. Yes, second shot made it in.

357
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: But isn't that more not more impressive? I guess it

358
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: may be more because a joker like me, he could

359
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: hit a one fifty part three and maybe get lucky. Yeah,

360
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: but I can't hit a two sixty second shot. No,

361
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tougher shot. But people want to

362
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: know about a hole in one, not an albatross, like, Hey,

363
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: I had an albatross today. Oh okay, what's that's that? Yeah? Yeah,

364
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: he had a hole in one, No kidding. Yah, see

365
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: that's crazy though. Through fifty three, I go up on

366
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: the green, so I hit my second shot into the

367
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: greenside bunker and you know, I'm thinking, I'm gonna get

368
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: up and down and I'm gonna I'm gonna post a

369
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: pretty good number here. And we can't find bad Larry's

370
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: ball and he goes, I know, I hit it right

371
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: at the hole. I'm thinking this guy is in a

372
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: good he can't hit it straight. Next thing, he walks up.

373
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: I said, well check the hole, Larry. He walks up

374
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: and he goes, I made it, pulls the golf ball

375
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: out to fifty three. And then he goes into the

376
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: pro shop at the very end, and he wanted to

377
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: know if he could get a plat man they would

378
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: put out on the golf course. He said, no, yeah,

379
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get the plaque. All right. Mclovin,

380
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 1: what's the poll question you have? So we have up

381
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: which vacancy would you want? The choices being the Nets,

382
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: Sixers and Pelicans. Actually the Pelicans are taking an earlier lead.

383
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want the nets because I got a chance

384
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: to winning championship. I have a side pole topic, okay,

385
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: pre show debate, what is the most watchable team in

386
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference of the NBA Playoffs. I felt like

387
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: you were selling the Heat to me. I felt like

388
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: that was a bit of a cell job because the

389
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: Heat Pacers came on last night and I could not

390
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: have turned the channel faster. I like it because of

391
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: our our boy, Duncan Robinson. You know, great story. They're

392
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: one of the great shooters in the NBA. Jimmy Butler

393
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: is a really good player. Bam Auto Bio has developed me.

394
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: He's an all star. You know they got They're fun

395
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: to watch, and you know Gore and Draggage. I love

396
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: watching him as well. I don't know if Kelly Olinok

397
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: is going to make you tune in, he would for

398
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: me because you love his hair. The Bucks, see the

399
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: Bucks are telling the NBA's telling you just how interested

400
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: people are in the Bucks. They put them on as

401
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: the early game. Now they're facing Orlando, but still I

402
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: get the feeling if Luca was playing against Orlando, they

403
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: would somehow find primetime with Luca. Jannis is a great player,

404
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: best player. The MVP, but he's not tune in worthy.

405
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: And you know that, you know by where your team

406
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: is position or where they put these games. The Lakers

407
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: are always going to be a factor ratings wise. The

408
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: Raptors not tune in factor, but a great team when

409
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: you do watch. I mean, if you love basketball, you'll

410
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: love what the Raptors do because they got a great

411
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: coach and that's a really good team. Celtics are always

412
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: fascinating because of Tatum and Brown, Kemball Walker if they

413
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: had Gordon Hayward. So I probably go Celtics. Celtics, Raptors

414
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: heat Bucks. Bucks aren't exciting. Let's just you can be

415
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: good and you can be exciting because the Raptors are

416
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: really good. Spurs were always really good, they just weren't exciting. Yeah,

417
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: but don't you think of Bucks Lakers finals would do good?

418
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: These people can make a Yannis Lebron passing a torch

419
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: narrative in the finals, yes, but not the rest of

420
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: the process here. Oh I sorry, I said the process. Sorry?

421
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: Sorry soon? Yeah, I see where some of these NBA

422
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: riders who follow the Sixers saying, hey, the process worked, Like, okay,

423
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: tell that to Brett Brown because they doesn't have a

424
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: job today. Okay o, But everybody's rapping the process. They

425
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: fired guy who thought of the process and brought in

426
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: the most conventional anti process guy in the history of

427
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the world. And Brian Colangelo was screwed up everything. Okay,

428
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: but if the process was working, why did you fire

429
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: the GM who came up with the process. Because the

430
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: media got too upset about the losses and they didn't

431
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: let him even get halfway through his project. They they

432
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: cut it like if you were having a contractor build

433
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: a house like so Sam Hinkey got fired because the

434
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: media got impatient. They wanted victories. The owners stop got

435
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: really upset about the public reaction and got soft. That's

436
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. I should have fired him and Colangelo

437
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: did an awful job. How did jelil Okafor work out? Okay,

438
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: thought Okafor was a good pick and everyone thought he

439
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: was awesome as a rookie. The dude had amazing skills.

440
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: They just didn't know that he had a characters. It

441
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what we think. I don't think that it

442
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: matters what Fritzie thinks of jelil Okafor. It's it's what

443
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: the NBA thinks of jalil Oka for a bad pick.

444
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: It was just one of those things that happens. That's

445
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: why with the process you get a lot of opportunities.

446
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: And Neurala's Zoell he went six. He's still in the NBA.

447
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: That was all. That was the Anthony Betager, Marvin Williams

448
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: is still in the NBA. I'm telling you the process

449
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: was set up for success, and it's they never should

450
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: have fired Sam Hinky. No, because then Brian Clangelow wouldn't

451
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: have come in and screwed up the Jason Tatum situation.

452
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: I know, and elt Bred probably shouldn't have paid Ala

453
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Horford did. Just stop calling the Celtics. That's our number

454
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: one problems. We should do nothing. There are certain teams

455
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: like I can't imagine ever calling Jerry West when he

456
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: was the GM, or if Jerry West called me, I'm

457
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: not taking the call. I would just go, this isn't

458
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: gonna work out well first, because it's Jerry, like Red Arbach,

459
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: who's probably the smartest guy in NBA history, and you

460
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: know he would just fleece people. Hey, thinking about given

461
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: you Joe Barry Carroll, could we get a couple of

462
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: draft picks for him? Yeah, we're gonna turn that into

463
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: We'll get Robert Parish in return and draft Kevin mchalem.

464
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: How did that work out? They swindled the Saint Louis Hawks,

465
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: I think for a couple of players too. Back in

466
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, seton the process might be the most overhyped,

467
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: overblown failure in the history of sports. Whoa like think

468
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: of how much coverage and how much people talk about

469
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: the process and what about the process? It stunk? It

470
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: did nothing just taking you could all. You could just

471
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: as easily call it a series of crappy draft picks

472
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: over the course of eight years. It doesn't have the

473
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: same ring to it though. Yeah, and Beid was a

474
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: good draft pick that was really smart. We only had

475
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: to sit out a year and he thought the three

476
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: because everyone thought he was hurt. He would have gone one.

477
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: But the topic right now is should the Sixers get

478
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: rid of him? So how good of a draft pick

479
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 1: was it? It's another high draft pick that now they

480
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: want to get rid of. Now you're now you're stuck

481
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: with the new coaches, stuck with him. Hinky revolutionize the NBA.

482
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: Now thirty teams think like him. I mean ed Mark

483
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: Cuban said it the second we were eliminated from the playoffs,

484
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: we started tanking. You know. That's it's the way the

485
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: NBA works now because of him. But does it work?

486
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah works. I mean the Spurs tank to

487
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: get Duncan. I mean there's no the only ways didn't

488
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: tank David Robinson gone hurt? Yeah, and then they started

489
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: pulling their starters at the end of the year. Like

490
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that's a little bit different than we

491
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: have a game plan that's, hey David, we want you

492
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: to get hurt and then we get a chance to

493
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: get Tim Duncan. Their odds were long to get Tim Duncan.

494
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: The Celtics Rick Pattino was banking in his entire NBA

495
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: career off Tim Duncan. Wait did this? Did the Calves

496
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: tank a little bit to get Lebronze? They absolutely did.

497
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: That's that's the time it worked. It's the only way

498
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: to build a champion in the NBA. I'm sure the

499
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: Lakers tank to get Magic Probably, I actually do they

500
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: That was a trade yea. In the history of NBA,

501
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: the only way to get a championship is to get

502
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: a transformational player. And how do you do that without

503
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: the number one pick. Well, it doesn't always work. No,

504
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Like the Maps didn't have the number one pick and

505
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: they got Luca don Chick. Do you see how stupid

506
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: guys can be. But they felt Away wasn't a top

507
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: five pick, wasn't a top ten pick, Kawai wasn't a

508
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: top ten pick. So you they didn't tank. So three

509
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: of the best players in the NBA and Curry was six. Yeah,

510
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: generally though, and if you look at the history of the

511
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: the NBA, it's these Kareem and Lebron types that win

512
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: your titles. I just don't know if you go in

513
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: and you say we're going to lose on purpose, that

514
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: you can you can really shed that like it's a

515
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: it's a sweater that it's like when you wear a

516
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: sweater in Florida. It's like it's just on you, you know,

517
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: and you just go, I can't get rid of it

518
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: because it still permeates. It's it's there. I don't know.

519
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: There's just something there about the Sixers that the process

520
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: still had some leftover fumes there. Yees see. I'm reading

521
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: an article from Sports Illustrated right and it says the

522
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: process itself is Hinky's plan to find the best way

523
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: to acquire top talent for the team by getting as

524
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: many assets draft picks, young players, players with trade and

525
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: team friendly contracts as possible, and using them to bring

526
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: in superstar players. What superstar did they ever bring in?

527
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: They have like a series of super high draft picks

528
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: that you thought were going to be superstars. I don't

529
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: remember any monster trade they brought in to bring in

530
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: a huge superstar. They brought him Butler, who is pretty awesome,

531
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: but he's out of I guess he's out a superstar.

532
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: He's a max guy. Yeah, I wouldn't consider Jimmy Butler's superstar.

533
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's what the process was, then what

534
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: are we talking what are we even talking about? And

535
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: the process was to get you know, high draft picks

536
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: and make sure that you hit on a few of

537
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: those high draft picks. But they weren't getting free agents

538
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: who wanted to go there. I mean Tolbia's hair and

539
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: then you know Al Horford. I mean it just seems

540
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: like a funny like either this SI column has just

541
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: misinterpreted what the process was. If it was get a

542
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of high draft picks and hope that they're superstars,

543
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: or was it to trade all of the get as

544
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: many assets as possible to bring in superstars. Yeah, Polly,

545
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: you could say it's the odds. If you have enough

546
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: top five picks, you should get a couple of superstars.

547
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: It's almost like, um, the Arizona Cardinals taking another quarterback

548
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen didn't work out. Okay, we can't afford to

549
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: not take another quarterback in Kyler Murray. People critiqued taking him,

550
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: but if he works out, it was worth taking another one.

551
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: They didn't tank to do it, but it was just

552
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: fell in their lap. Yeah, mclovin gets all sensitive. It's okay.

553
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought you moved on from the Sixers.

554
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: You're a Bucks fan. I don't know about my Bucks anymore.

555
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking for a new bandwagon. They sent

556
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: you all that gear. You're not jumping on the Luca bandwagon.

557
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Don't even think about it. I don't know. I kinda

558
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: like Sad Curry. No, oh, Seth Curry. Steth Curry is awesome.

559
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: Fred van Lea is also the MVPA League. Wait till

560
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: he gets into the second. Is Seth Curry a better

561
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: shooter than Steph Curry? Wow? Statistically he is. He just

562
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: has a lot less attempts than his brother does. Yes,

563
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I have a player cop for Ben Simmons that had

564
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,479
Speaker 1: been holding on. Okay, hold on to that and let

565
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: me get to Connor in Pennsylvania and he wants to

566
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: talk about the Sixers process here. Hey, hey, Dan six feve.

567
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: I just wanted to point out that Sam Hanky was

568
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: not fired. He resigned, okay, because the Sixers had hired

569
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Colangelo after Adam Silver had interfered, after you know,

570
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: the public backlashes. Uh. Nicklevin had point out the media backlash.

571
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: They hired Jerry, and Jerry brought in Brian as some

572
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: sort of role, and Hank, you resigned, So was kind

573
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: of like, you know, the legs cut up, cut out

574
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: from under. Well, that's one of those resigned. But hey, Hintent,

575
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: you should you should resign before we fire you. Thank you, Connor,

576
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: and Hinky sent in a thirteen page resignation letter as well.

577
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: He was even thorough in his resignation letter as the

578
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: GM thirteen page resignation letter. But he was not going

579
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: to keep that job if Jerry was bringing in Brian

580
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: and running the team there. All right, we'll take a

581
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: break here, and I'm not sure what to believe with

582
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: this Popovich story. I want to ask Reggie Miller a

583
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: little bit later on Popovich. It just feels like it's

584
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: like San Antonio is his personality. There's certain players, certain

585
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: coaches that fit, like pat Riley fit Los Angeles just

586
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: did Greg Popovich. He just feels like he fits into

587
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: San Antonio. There's certain coaches like Phil Jackson in Lost

588
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: Angeles didn't feel the same way it did and when

589
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: Ryles was there. But Phil in Chicago, you know, because

590
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: Phil's a pretty, you know, simple guy from the standpoint

591
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: of doesn't seem like he needs bells and whistles there

592
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: and glamor and all of that. Even though he was

593
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: dating Genie Buss and he's from North Dakota. You know,

594
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: parents were ministers. I think so they just felt like

595
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: he was comfortable in Chicago. At least I got that impression.

596
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: There's certain coaches, certain managers that you just feel like

597
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: that's where they belong. Like Lombardi. Could you see Lombardi

598
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: with the La Rams or the Dallas Cowboys. He's Green Bay.

599
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna run it or run the suite. Take a

600
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: break here. Play of the Day coming up next year.

Speaker 1: this one in the left field. There it is. He

610
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: passes Alex Rodriguez with that single. A little bit of

611
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: a boble there by Tucker Red Devil take third. Ratzel

612
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: Now when Albert second all time? Now by himself. Albert

613
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: Poujols number two on the list two and ten RBIs

614
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: behind Hank Aaron for number one on that list all time.

615
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth is technically ahead of Albert, but RBIs didn't

616
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: become an official stat until nineteen twenty. His RBIs for

617
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: six years prior to nineteen twenty don't count towards that list,

618
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: or Babe Ruth would have the all time record for RBIs.

619
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why they can't go back and just

620
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: go how about we total up? Though they have box

621
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: scores that they just total up those RBIs. It's like

622
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: sack totals didn't come into the NFL's an official stat

623
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: until nineteen eighty two. I think I would think all

624
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: the archival footage that the sables shot for NFL films,

625
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: you could go back and go, why don't we tabulate this?

626
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: Because I think you're going to find some people are

627
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of stats as far as

628
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: sacks goes, that would move them up the list. You

629
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: might even get guys who could get into the Hall

630
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: of Fame if you think about it. You know, Deacon

631
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: Jones would probably be the all time sack leader, but

632
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are a few other players that probably

633
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: are being cheated out of quite a few sacks. You

634
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to be able to go back and

635
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: do that, and then why wouldn't you do that? Certainly

636
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: with baseball, baseball loves its stats, why wouldn't you go

637
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: back and go On second thought, Babe Ruth had five

638
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty more RBIs here play the day, brought

639
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: to you by the Home Depot. When it comes to

640
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: flooring options for the pro, no one covers the floors

641
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: better than the Home Depot does with every day low

642
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: prices even bigger savings when you purchase by the palette,

643
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: the pro's best option. When it comes to flooring, the

644
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: home depot holders get more done. I saw a video yesterday.

645
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: By the way, the Albert Poohle's RBI audio is brought

646
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: to you by Fox Sports West. If you watch, before

647
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: Luca nanche hits the game winning shot, there's a huddle

648
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: that the Mavericks are holding. Now Luca is doing the

649
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: bottle flip, so he's on the edge of the huddle.

650
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: He's not even listening what's going on. If he misses

651
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: the shot, did we then go? He wasn't even paying

652
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: attention to his coach. Or imagine another player who did that,

653
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: not listening and trying to flip a bottle outside the huddle.

654
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: And then Luca of Courtney, you know the end result,

655
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: You're fine with everything. Wow, he's so calm. Look at him.

656
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: He's trying to do the bottle flip game. He's a

657
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: cool customer. If Lebron was doing that, we'd be like,

658
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: look at him. He's tuned out, Coach Vogel. If he

659
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: missed it, oh my god. That's why I laugh when

660
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: we pick and choose who we criticize and who we praise. Yes, McLevin,

661
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: is this a little like when Tom Brady took a

662
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: nap before the first Super Bowl win over the Rams.

663
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: Do you remember that story he fell asleep two hours

664
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: before the game. Yeah, but I don't think that that's rare. Well,

665
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: it just shows how cool I would be freaking out.

666
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, these guys are kind of like if

667
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: I you know, he didn't look nervous at all. I

668
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: think the average athlete gets nervous in those situations. Yeah.

669
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,479
Speaker 1: Maybe I think Luca realized, hey, I'm getting the ball.

670
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it was a great mystery

671
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: where he goes, so, what's the play again? How am

672
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: I getting the ball? You basically just jab stepping and

673
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: you come out and you get the ball and then

674
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: we clear out. Okay, So then he goes back to

675
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: flipping his bottle there. Yeah, bagine of the coach just

676
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: to play a joke on Lucas, say all right, Luca,

677
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a decor. Wh don't get the ball

678
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 1: to hardaway from the last night? What put the bottle

679
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: down hold on? It'd be like hoosiers. Yeah, Hoosiers were

680
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: gone good. Jimmy Chitwood, Jimmy wanted the ball. Yes, Mcow

681
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: remember Scottie Pippo and Tony Kuko. It's like, you don't

682
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: want that to happen. No, no, you don't. Lebron is uh,

683
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: I know we're drunk with Lebron's stats today. If the

684
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: Lakers make the NBA Finals, Lebron should become the all

685
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: time leader in playoff games played. He will pass Robert Ory,

686
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, and Derek Fisher. He's played two hundred and

687
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: forty three playoff games. That's three seasons of basketball and

688
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: thirty five years of age. But also you should you know,

689
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: the stat has to be modified for the modern era

690
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: because Bill Russell and some of these other players who

691
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: were playing back in the sixties and seventies, they didn't

692
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: have as many rounds to go through. Now you can

693
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: say that helped them also in maybe winning championships, but

694
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: you didn't have to go through as as many series

695
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: as uh, these guys do now. But Lebron at thirty five,

696
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, by the way, played in one hundred and

697
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: seventy nine playoff games. There was a moment last night

698
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: and you know, the Lakers had their Kobe Bryant and

699
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: their Momba jerseys on and when I was watching, I

700
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: had the sound down and I was watching and I

701
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: saw where it was twenty four to eight, and I

702
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: just thought, how poetic that on eight twenty four they're

703
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: celebrating Kobe and the score was twenty four to eight,

704
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: And not that the game was in doubt. I mean

705
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: they were down. Portland was down twenty four when Damian

706
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: Lillard hit his first shot. But that'll give you an

707
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: idea of that team on fumes. It takes a lot

708
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: out of you every single night that you're the guy,

709
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: you're the man, and Lillard had one of the great

710
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: postseason runs we've ever seen. But it's going to be

711
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: all for note. You know, down three games to one,

712
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: and they looked tired last night. And I'll give the

713
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: Lakers credit. They had energy from the beginning and they

714
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: didn't fall behind, which is so important for that team,

715
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: that second unit that comes in. I mentioned this story

716
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: about a college is going to play one football game

717
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: this year. That's it, and it's North Dakota State. They're

718
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 1: going to play Central Arkansas one game. And the reason

719
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: why they're doing this is they want to showcase their quarterback,

720
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. They want because he's going to be a

721
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: top fifteen pick, at least that's the appearance he's going

722
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: to be a top fifteen, maybe even higher than that.

723
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: But this is called a showcase game for their quarterback

724
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: because they're not going to play any other games, and

725
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: because they're going to play one game, they get to

726
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: practice twenty hours a week instead of twelve hours a week.

727
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 1: And all they're doing is showcasing Trey Lanz, who last

728
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: year through twenty eight touchdowns zero interceptions and North Dakota

729
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: State ended up winning the championship. October third, North Dakota

730
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: to State will host Central Arkansas at the Fargo Dome. Yeah,

731
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: Todd isn't that risky. But if he has an off

732
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: game for some reason, and even if he has a

733
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: great game, it's Central Arkansas. So I'm not sure what

734
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: you accomplish him this one game against Central Arkansas. I

735
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 1: feel like it's a pro day that's actually a game.

736
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: But you're right, you know you want to showcase him

737
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,280
Speaker 1: for one game. You expect him to light up Central Arkansas.

738
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: Central Arkansas is actually has been a good team. They've

739
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: made the playoffs a couple of times FCS. But you

740
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: know I studied the roster there. Yeah, I got some

741
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: game footage here of Central Arkansas. Scottie Pippen sent it

742
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: to me. You know, Central Arkansas guy, But yeah, you

743
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: do run that risk. Jordan Palmer, who's considered the quarterback

744
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: whisper for these young quarterbacks, is going to join his

745
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: coming up. I'm gonna ask him just how good this

746
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: kid Trey Lance is. Now. I watched him. You know,

747
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: the stats are crazy. He can run. He's the perfect

748
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: quarterback as far as what his skill set is. Yes,

749
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: PAULI he had twenty eight touchdowns and zero picks. Yep,

750
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: that's good. Only downhill from Yeah, I know as soon

751
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: as he throws that first pick. Oh, I knew it

752
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: all right. So Reggie Miller w also joined us from

753
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: the bubble. Oh I'm hearing from Chris Paul fans hey

754
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: say something nice about Chris Paul I have been and

755
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: he said, what is the signature moment of his career?

756
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: That's all
