We'll be getting into that, 36 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 4: as I mentioned later on in the hour. But I 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: say that to say, we start this hour off and 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 4: we do hour two. It's dedicated to the round ball. 39 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 4: It's dedicated to basketball, so we'll get to that later. 40 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 4: Right now, it's all about the Lakers and they're heading 41 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 4: into the playoffs without Luka Doncic, without Austin Grieves, and 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 4: with Lebron James playing out of his mind like he's 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: like twenty five years old. 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: Again. 45 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 4: JJ Reddick, he said it, and he said it loud 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 4: and clear on Friday. 47 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: Here's what he had to say. 48 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure everybody wants to playoffs. Let's 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 5: get that out there. Like everybody wants to playoffs, there's 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 5: probably teams that are in a position where they can 51 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 5: start looking forward to potential second round matchups as well. 52 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 5: And we've seen some of those teams rest their entire 53 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 5: lineup basically, So we can't be concerned with all of that. 54 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 5: You know, again, I'll say it what I told the 55 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 5: team yesterday, what I told you guys after the game. 56 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 5: We have to figure out the formula and the belief 57 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 5: for this group to be successful. 58 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: So fellas Lebron James twenty eight point twelve asists, assists, 59 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 4: six rebounds against the Suns. He's shooting sixty percent over 60 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 4: his last three games. You know, the burning question is 61 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: going to be can the Lakers actually make a run 62 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 4: in this postseason under the current circumstances. 63 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: I'll take it a step further. 64 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: Are the Lakers more dangerous as an underdog with Lebron unleashed? 65 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: I got a win, win, win, three wins, A win 66 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 4: for JJ Redick, a win for Lebron James, a win 67 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: for Luka Doncic as well. I'm gonna tell y'all what 68 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: that is, but first I want to get y'all's y'all's 69 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: take on this. Are they a more dangerous team as 70 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: an underdog? Can they make this run shorthanded the way 71 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: that they are right now? 72 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 6: No, they cannot. They cannot. Let's just just put all 73 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 6: the chips in the middle of the table. They cannot. 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 6: So they're the four seed right now currently in the 75 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 6: NBA standards. 76 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: Hook they got home, they got home, caught advantage. 77 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 7: Are they playing the Rockets in the first round. 78 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: Right now? It's going to be the Rights or the Timberwolves. 79 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't have a chance. 80 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 81 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 6: You know, we had this conversation a few weeks a 82 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 6: few weeks ago, we sat up here and said that 83 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Lakers go how Luca goes. Now, there 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 6: is no Luca LeVar. Just say, you know, Lebron is 85 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 6: playing out of his mind. He's looking like he's you. 86 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 7: Know, found is Founder Fountain of Youth. 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 6: But that's not going to be enough for the Lakers 88 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 6: if they want to make a run in the Western Conference. Finds, 89 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 6: even if you get Minnesota or you get Houston Rockets, 90 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 6: it's gonna be a seven game series regardless. And I 91 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 6: don't but I don't think that they can beat either 92 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 6: one of those teams without a Luca Dunston's it doesn't 93 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 6: matter how great Lebron James is. Like, these young men 94 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 6: are getting up and down at the on the basketball 95 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 6: court that at a pace that I think that in 96 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 6: a seven game series, Uh, Levin, Lebron not going to 97 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 6: be able to keep up. That's just what I honestly believe. 98 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 6: But as far as them making a run in this conference, 99 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 6: I mean, we're talking about I don't think they can 100 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 6: be Denver. They can't beat the Spurs, they can't beat 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 6: the ok ok See Thunder. So when we're talking about 102 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 6: them being shorthanded, and are they better as an underdog 103 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 6: in the Western Conference, absolutely not. The Western Conference is 104 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 6: too loaded. Whoever comes out of the Western Conference into 105 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 6: the NBA Finals is going to be the world champions, 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 6: and the Los Angeles Lakers will be nowhere even close 107 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 6: to making it to a second round in the Western Conference. 108 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 3: So LeVar, to answer your question, absolutely not. Damn he 109 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 3: said that was so much conviction. It's a lot of conviction, bro. 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: I'm interested to hear what you say. I agree with them. 111 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: Oh, what's the dagger? 112 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: I agree. I don't know any team in the NBA 113 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: that would be able to overcome this. If you take 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: Jokic off Denver and Jamal Murray off Denver, they're done. 115 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 3: You take Sga off Okac, They're gonna still win a 116 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: lot of games, but are they winning the championship. They're done. 117 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 3: You take Jalen Brown and Tatum off the Celtics, they're done. 118 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: You take Katie and whomever else off the Rockets, they're done. 119 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: And so our two leading scorers, Luca and Austin Reeves, 120 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 3: we assume they're gonna be out for at least the 121 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: first round of the playoffs for sure. Luca Austin Reeves 122 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: is probably gonna be out the entirety of the playoffs. 123 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: Will we win a game or two, Yeah, We're not 124 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: gonna get swept. Lebron have too much pride for that. 125 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 3: But to say that we can win a series of 126 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 3: winning championship, winning the series is gonna be a trip. 127 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: You got Jared Vanderbilt, who was out of the rotation 128 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: playing a lot of minutes now, so they're gonna have 129 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: to rely. Lebron is gonna have to be Lebron of 130 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: eight years ago, at least five years ago. Can he 131 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 3: do that? Probably not. DeAndre Aiden is gonna have to 132 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: play like he was the first pick. Has he done that? 133 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: Not on a consistent basis? Ruy is gonna have to 134 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 3: stay hot from three of me he shooting the leather 135 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: off the ball? Can he do that on a consistent 136 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: basis against the best teams? See, that's what people don't realize. Like, 137 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: you get to the playoffs, you are playing the best teams, 138 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: better defenders, game planning for you, and so defense. And 139 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: now the NBA, you know they allow you to hand 140 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: check in the playoffs. You know, it's a unwritten rude that. 141 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: Now defense in the playoffs gets a little more tighter. 142 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 3: The referees kind of whistle. They're not blowing the whistle 143 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: as much as they would in the regular season. And so, yeah, man, 144 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: it kind of sucks. But yeah, man, it's I musta 145 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: unless we get those guys back, man, no chance. 146 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 4: Grade two hamstring strain is middle of the ground strain. 147 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: It could take three weeks to recover and get through 148 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 4: it on average, but it could also take eight weeks. 149 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: It just depends on the person's body and how they 150 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 4: respond to the healing of it. It's a soft tissue injury. 151 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 4: Austin reeves with the Grade two oblique. It's kind of 152 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: along the same lines. Is it possible. Is it doable 153 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: that they can make it back within the end of 154 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 4: the first series the second series? 155 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: It's very possible. I think it's very doable. 156 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 7: Three weeks, I. 157 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: Think it's possible. I think it's possible. 158 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 4: I think it's doable, especially if they could make it 159 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 4: out of the first reeable. 160 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: But it is doable, right, it's possible. But we I 161 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 3: think that are coming back at nowhere near what you 162 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: need to be to perform at the level that we 163 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: need to. 164 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: Forget that, I get that, but sports are sports, right, 165 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 4: Like some of the best performances have come from. 166 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: Guys that weren't all the way at their best, came back. 167 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 3: From an injury. May have been you can play on 168 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: a bad ankle, but when you have a hamstring, and 169 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 3: you have a hamstring in the game and down the court. 170 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, But Lucas Luca's point production is. 171 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 3: It don't matter if you a quick twitch, you still 172 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: got to stop and start. You do and to start 173 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: and takes energy and effort, and it don't matter how 174 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 3: that stop and start. Look, you still got exert energy 175 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: if you. 176 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 4: Can start and stop and do like Luca. What he 177 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 4: does isn't like a Rip Hambleton. If you were saying 178 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 4: this is a rip or an AI, I'm with you. 179 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 4: But Luca isn't that type of player. And so I 180 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 4: would say that if he gets to a good place 181 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 4: where he can tolerate the discomfort, he can still play 182 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 4: Luka Doncics basketball. Now can Austin Reeves do the same 183 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 4: with an oblique How does that look? 184 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: You're talking about roughly. 185 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 4: Sixty combined points per game that you don't have if 186 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 4: you don't have these guys. So here's the win win 187 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 4: that I was talking about, the three wins. Here's the 188 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: win for JJ Reddick. If JJ Reddick can can manage 189 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 4: this team until Luca and Austin gets back. If he 190 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 4: can manage the team game plan wise and convince Luca 191 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 4: and Austin that it is advantageous for y'all to return 192 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 4: and come back, that's a win for JJ Reddick as 193 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 4: a coach. If he can get to the point of 194 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 4: where Austin Reeves and Luca come back. Two, it's a 195 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 4: win for Lebron if Lebron can carry them long enough. 196 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 4: What you would think the way he's playing, what he's 197 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: showing is is I got enough to take this playoff run. 198 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 4: I got enough to go on this run and. 199 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: Give it what I have. 200 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: If he can carry this team into a position of 201 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 4: where Luca and Austin are able to return and you 202 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: get your cavalry coming, then it sets the stage for 203 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: if JJ Reddick can coach his ass off and they 204 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: can make it a deep run in this playoff run. 205 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: With Lebron doing what. 206 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 4: He needed to do to get him to the point 207 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 4: of where they can make that run and Austin reeves 208 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: and Luca coming back and Luca being Luca in the playoffs, 209 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 4: it's a win situation for all three entities. And just imagine, 210 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: just imagine. And I know it's a long shot, I 211 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: get it, but just imagine at this I mean, whatever 212 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 4: you want to call it, right, but just imagine. I 213 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 4: mean they thought that David couldn't, couldn't get it done 214 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 4: against you know, Goliath, and I mean that was a 215 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: long shot. I mean, if there was a DraftKings back 216 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 4: in Biblical times, they would have all bet on Goliath 217 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 4: to win and they wouldn't have gave David any of 218 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 4: a chance. But you know, when there's a will there's 219 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: a way. And just imagine if Lebron James was a 220 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 4: part of a Lakers run to the NBA Finals and 221 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 4: Luca was able to come back. 222 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: And be Luca in that moment. 223 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 4: It would be tremendous for basketball if that took place. 224 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 4: I'm just saying I'm not even a Lakers fan, but 225 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 4: I'm just saying. 226 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: You want to talk about winning wins? 227 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, that is you can win a game, but 228 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 3: a series. Yeah, very it's outlandish. 229 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 4: But we count them out? Are we really counting them 230 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: all the way out? 231 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: LaVar? You you take the two leading scorers off any team, 232 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 3: that team is done. 233 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 4: But this is a Lebron James team. So we're done 234 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 4: with So you're saying we're done with Lebron. 235 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: He was a third leading scorer. He's forty one years old. 236 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 3: Like I said, he can give us a game or two. 237 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: But can he exert this type of energy and put 238 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: the team on his back like the Lebron of five 239 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: to ten years ago. No, we haven't seen it. We 240 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: haven't seen it. 241 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 4: Well, if some way, somehow, JJ Reddick and Lebron James 242 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 4: can get to that second round of the playoffs and 243 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: your boy comes back Luca comes back and he balls. 244 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 4: I'm just going to make sure that we replay this segment. 245 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: I mean, it's easy to say y'all going to be right, 246 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 4: because y'all probably are going to be correct. But with 247 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: that being said, I have an inkling of a feeling 248 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 4: that if Lebron can bring that magic back and need 249 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 4: I say, does that spark conversations all over again of 250 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: what Lebron represents to the game of basketball. 251 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: Anyway, it's just me talking, and that's. 252 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 7: Obviously talking a whole lot of talking. 253 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: And that's Plexico Burst right there, who just chimed in 254 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 4: and said, I'm doing a whole lot of talking. You 255 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: know who isn't doing a whole lot of talking with 256 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: his mouth, but his game is on fire. A guy 257 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 4: that scored forty points has now played sixty five games, yeah, 258 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 4: thirteen rebounds, twenty six minutes with. 259 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: A bruise rib.

But by the name, by the 294 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 4: name of Hakem the Dream, you know, Elijah one, he 295 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 4: did it in ninety three, ninety four, And of course 296 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: Jeffrey is in there speaking of Michael Jeffrey Jordan of 297 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 4: the Chicago Bulls. 298 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: He did it in eighty seven, eighty eight. 299 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: That is rarefied air if a player were able to 300 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 4: do so. Winbin Yamah forty points, thirteen rebounds, five assists, 301 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: two blocks in just twenty six minutes. He played through 302 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 4: a bruise rib he suffered. He suffered against Philly on 303 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: on Monday. In that game, clearly was in pain, but 304 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 4: still dropped forty on that ass you're talking about him 305 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 4: being in his fifth game this season with at least 306 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 4: forty points and ten rebounds. That ties David Robinson in 307 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 4: franchise record history. I got to ask you guys the 308 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: question man, you're we're looking at from the big picture. 309 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: You got Luke, you got SGA, you got Edwards. 310 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 4: These are all incredible players and our guys that can 311 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 4: carry this league. But is win Be already the most 312 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 4: unique player the NBA is ever ever produced. He's seven 313 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 4: to four, he's got guard skills and he can play 314 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 4: elite defense with his instincts. Is there any comparables to him? 315 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 4: Is he the face the future of the NBA? 316 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 3: We all know that he's a unicorn with that type 317 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 3: of size, agility, shooting ability, defensive capability. Yeah, and you 318 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 3: know he's campaigning for MVP. This won't be his year, 319 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: but he's gonna win multiple MVPs. He'll probably win Defensive 320 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 3: Player of the Year. How many Rudy Gobert have five? 321 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 3: He has five? Right or four? Four? Winby gonna be 322 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 3: at least I can see him winning his five six 323 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: years in a row unless he gets an injury. He 324 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 3: gonna win Defensive Player of the Year five six years 325 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 3: in a row. And so Winby is on his way 326 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: to being an all time great if he can. Okay, 327 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: if Rudy Gobert has four, Winby is gonna win five 328 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: to six in a row. I'm talking about this year, 329 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: next year to follow. He unless he has an injury 330 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 3: unless his career is derailed by injuries. He is on 331 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 3: a trajectory and everybody knows this to be an all 332 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 3: time top five greatest players to ever play. We've just 333 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: never seen anybody with this type of size, lateral movement, 334 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: shooting ability. And so for him is can he stay 335 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 3: healthy and if he can stay healthy, he will go 336 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 3: down as one of the greatest. And it's his mindset. 337 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 3: His attitude is just different. It's kind of like Anthony Edwards, like, Man, 338 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: I'm trying to play every game. I'm trying to dominate 339 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 3: every game. And it's not just every if I play 340 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 3: an All Star game, I'm trying to dominate and I'm 341 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 3: playing hard. And so just that mentality we'll see with 342 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 3: him because him and Anthony Edwards are two of the 343 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: younger guys that have adapted and adopted this new man. 344 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: We play hard every time we get on the court, 345 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 3: doesn't matter if it's an All Star Game or not. 346 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 347 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: Will the younger guys now that are coming into the 348 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: league follow suit and will that kind of change the 349 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 3: image of the All Star Game? Will it change the oh, 350 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: our best players, We're trying to hold them out on 351 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: back to backs and the you know the how they 352 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 3: call it when they when they rest in players, and 353 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 3: now they don't put the rule in the sixty five 354 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 3: game limit, and so Weinby is on his way. He 355 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: just got to stay healthy, bro, He's got to stay healthy. 356 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,479 Speaker 6: I mean, women's going to be a multiple time MVP 357 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 6: in this league. I mean yeah, I mean everybody knows 358 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 6: that the time his time is here now is coming. 359 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 6: And it looks like to me, man, when he's on 360 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 6: the floor, Man, he goes out and plays with great 361 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 6: energy every time he touches the floor. 362 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: Man. 363 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 6: And you can see those young guys on san Antonio, 364 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 6: they follow him, man. And then I think that's what 365 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: one of the main reasons why it makes san Antonio 366 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 6: so good and so young is when you see a 367 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 6: guy seven four that we've never seen before coming to 368 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 6: this league go out and doing some of the things 369 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 6: that he's doing, and he's the he's the hardest worker, 370 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 6: he's the he goes he goes out and plays hard 371 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 6: every single night. I mean, how can you not want 372 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 6: to play with a guy like that, and to be 373 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 6: so young and and to be so talented. 374 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 3: And you know he's he's. 375 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 6: Going after the m V p. I mean, he said it, 376 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 6: I think I'm the best player in the world, and 377 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 6: I love that about him. It's not it's not that 378 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 6: he's boasting about, you know, how good he is. He 379 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 6: knows and believes that he is the best player in 380 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 6: this league. And I think that as far as this year, 381 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 6: I think SGA is going to be the MVP. You know, 382 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 6: ten to forty point games in this season. He averaged 383 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 6: thirty points in the month of March and he's averaging 384 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 6: thirty one for the season. So I think for this year, 385 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 6: there's no doubt about it that Wimby will be the 386 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 6: Defensive Player of the Year and SGA will win the 387 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 6: league MVP. But I mean the writings on the wall 388 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 6: for this young man if he can go out and 389 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 6: continue to stay healthy. I said to myself the other 390 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 6: day that when he had this rib injury, he needed 391 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 6: one he needed playing one more game for twenty minutes. 392 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 6: I said, Man, he's gonna get out there. He's gonna 393 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 6: find his way on the basketball court so he can 394 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 6: be eligible to receive any reward that he receives, because 395 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 6: you know, he deserved it and he earns it. So 396 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 6: you know, moving forward, he's going to be the face 397 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 6: of the league. I really, I really do believe that 398 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 6: him and man, I think I think that the league 399 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 6: is in good hands, especially with Wimby because he's must 400 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 6: see TV. Because when when when he's on the court, 401 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 6: you're saying to yourself, you know, I may see something 402 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 6: from this young man that I've never ever seen before. 403 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 6: And I think that's, you know, the attraction to him 404 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 6: and this basketball team. And he is right now is 405 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 6: putting his front print on this league and he's bringing 406 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 6: the Sandy Antonio Spurs back to prominence. 407 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: We're gonna wrap the show. We're gonna go around the 408 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: league real quick. 409 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 4: Couple headlines that are out there that I'll throw out 410 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 4: TJ and Plex before we wrap up the show, and 411 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 4: then you know, yeah, then you'll get Jonas Knox after that. 412 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 4: But right now, we're gonna get an update trending from 413 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: Ilo and then after that we're gonna talk some Diana 414 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 4: Rassini and Mike Gravel and all that good stuff. But 415 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 4: for now, let's throw it to my man, Isaac Longcraw. 416 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 2: What you got, my guy, LaVar? 417 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 9: We got Round three of the Masters.

But it's pretty much over, ain't it? 434 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 9: Because ry McElroy closed round two with four consecutive birdies 435 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 9: six verdies over his last seven holes for a seven 436 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 9: hundred sixty five. On Fridays he bitched to go back 437 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 9: to back, so he's now got a six shot lead 438 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 9: over Sam Burns and Patrick Reid at twelve under par. Overall, 439 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 9: that as a Master's record for the largest lead after 440 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 9: thirty six holes. 441 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 5: I've prepared as well for this, Mysters as any other 442 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: that I've played, and all that work arow the greens 443 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 5: over the last three weeks, you know, has certainly paid off. 444 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: Over the first two days. 445 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: In the NFL. 446 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 9: Dallas Cowboys safety Marquise Bell was arrested Friday and charged 447 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 9: with felony possession of a controlled substance as well as 448 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 9: misdemeanor marijuana possession. We've got two Major League baseball games 449 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 9: going on right now, Arizonas could tell. Marte let off 450 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 9: today's game at Philadelphia with a home run as his 451 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 9: Diamondbacks have a two to nothing lead over the Phillies. 452 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 9: Now going to the bottom of the second inning at Philadelphia, 453 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 9: Tiger's up to nothing over the Marlins in the top 454 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 9: half of the second inning after they scored two in 455 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 9: the bottom of the first. 456 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: Guys, back to. 457 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: You appreciate it? 458 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 4: I lo like I said, Well, we will talk around 459 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 4: the NBA to wrap up the show, but right now, 460 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 4: let's talk about this the most prominent one of them, 461 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 4: reporters and NFL media. 462 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 2: She's now off the beat. 463 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 4: And the outlet that initially defended her fellas they reverse course. 464 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 4: Of course, we're talking about Diana Russini. The New York 465 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 4: Post published photos appearing to show Rassini and Mike Rabel 466 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 4: embracing interlocking fingers at an adult's only resort in Sedona, Arizona. 467 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 4: I guess it's Ambiente. Mbiente is the resort in Sedona, Arizona. 468 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 4: I hate to do this, I mean, it's it's it's 469 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 4: media though. I mean, we got to talk about it. 470 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 4: Both of them are married, I know both of them actually, 471 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 4: and I think both of them are great people. But nonetheless, 472 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 4: we still got to do the story. The Athletics executive 473 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 4: editor Steven Ginsburg initially defended Roussini publicly saying that the 474 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 4: photos lack context and that a group of six people 475 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 4: were present, but days later the Athletic reversed and launched 476 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 4: a full reinvestigation of the situation. Rassini is among the 477 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 4: highest paid reporters at the New York Times company, which 478 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: obviously owns the Athletic. Her contract. Curiously, it expires this summer, 479 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 4: so the timing of this investigation is significant. The core 480 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 4: journalistic issue that everyone is debating, Fellas is that Rassini 481 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 4: label extensively during his Patriots hiring process. And if there's 482 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 4: a personal relationship, did it influence her reporting? Did she 483 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 4: have information she held back or information she pushed forward? 484 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 4: Like how did that work? Based upon the personal relationship? 485 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 4: And then NFL reporters rely on access, the coaches, front 486 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 4: office personnel. 487 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: The players. 488 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 4: There has to be a line between professionalism, professional sourcing, 489 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 4: the relationship personal ones, business ones. That whole thing is 490 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 4: real and I think that this what took place brings 491 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 4: it all to front and center. We have dealt with 492 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 4: a big, major blow up in the media industry when 493 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 4: it happened with Joy at Joy Taylor at FS one 494 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 4: and everything that came out and surrounded that. It's now 495 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 4: become a bigger discussion with Diana Rossini, and we've heard 496 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 4: multiple outlets, multiple reporters and reports and people, constituentsies, contemporaries, 497 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 4: you name it, that have come out and had some 498 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 4: very strong opinions towards this topic. What say you guys 499 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 4: here in terms of do you feel like, with what 500 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 4: we know right now, is there a safe conclusion to 501 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 4: say that whether they did at everything that people are 502 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: maybe assuming or accusing or alleging, is it wrong? 503 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 3: It? 504 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 4: Is it all the way wrong right now where it's at. 505 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 4: Should people wait and see what comes about of it 506 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 4: or is it much to do with nothing?

Let's start with the Celtics. 685 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 4: They tie the NBA record with twenty nine threes in 686 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 4: a game and they clinched the number two seed. Jayalen Brown, well, 687 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 4: he's bawling man. He's playing at an MVP level. And 688 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 4: Boston is back as a team to beat in the East. 689 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 4: Speaking of the East, Joe l embiid, he just got 690 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 4: released from the hospital. No timeline on his return. Fellas, 691 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 4: the seventy six ers situation seems to be turning to disaster. 692 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 4: How does Philly even approach the playoffs at this point? 693 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 4: The heat we go down to Florida, warm Weather, They 694 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 4: waved Terry Rozier and add Jalen Young to the roster. 695 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 4: This shows that Miami's in full shake up mode and 696 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 4: they're doing it heading into the postseason. It's interesting. That's 697 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 4: an interesting line right there. And the NBA playoff pitcher 698 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 4: obviously is heading into its final weekend. Okase is locked 699 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 4: in at number one, The Celtics are at number two, 700 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 4: The Lakers and the Nuggets are battling it out for 701 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 4: three and four, and the Rockets and the Wolves are 702 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 4: five and six. I find out to be strange and 703 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 4: interesting all at the same time that the Rockets and 704 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 4: the Wolves would be at five and six and not 705 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 4: at one and two. 706 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 2: But what's y'all's take on this? 707 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 7: Man? 708 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 4: This is just like the headlines that have been taken 709 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 4: from around the NBA. 710 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 3: It's everybody seems like, you know, we'd have wounded, we'd 711 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 3: have wounded line in the Safari man, and everybody trying 712 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 3: to everybody want to play the Lakers. Man. You see 713 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 3: yesterday Oklahoma City sat damn near their whole team. Denver 714 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 3: sat down, damnit. None of them dudes played. They didn't play. 715 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 3: So it's like everybody trying to position themselves a player 716 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 3: of the Lakers. I would as well, but I look 717 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 3: forward to a great playoffs because this might be the 718 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 3: first year that I've ever not watched every game the Lakers. 719 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 3: I don't want to watch one hundred and thirty point games. 720 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 3: I don't want to watch that anymore. And so this 721 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 3: was a rarity for me. Man, normally I'm tuned into 722 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 3: every single game to watch any like who one hundred 723 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 3: and thirty five to one twenty, Like, I don't want 724 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 3: to watch that. I want to watch one hundred and 725 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 3: two to ninety eight, one O eight to one O two. 726 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 3: That's what I want to watch. That's what I'll get 727 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. But listen, if Lebron can pull through 728 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 3: for us. Man, see if he can turn back the clock. 729 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 3: I doubt it. He can turn back the clock once 730 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 3: or twice, but I don't know if he can do 731 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 3: it four times. 732 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 6: Hey man, Just switching over to the Eastern Conference in 733 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 6: the Boston Celtis, I think everybody can agree that ever 734 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 6: since Jason Tatum has a arrived, this has been a 735 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 6: brand new basketball team and everybody I think of Detroit 736 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 6: is number one, number one seed, but I just don't 737 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 6: trust the Detroit Pitts and Pistons. I okay him, and 738 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 6: then this group is the number of the best team 739 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 6: in the Eastern Conference. But when it comes down to 740 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 6: experience and if they make it to an NBA finals, 741 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 6: I mean NBA Eastern Conference Finals, I just I just 742 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 6: think that the Celtics have the upper hand with the experience, 743 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 6: and Jason tam is going to continue to get stronger. 744 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 6: Just like Le Boss said, Jab is playing out of 745 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,839 Speaker 6: his mind. He's he's looking like, uh first first team 746 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 6: All n B A. But uh, I just got to 747 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,720 Speaker 6: go with the Celtics out of the Eastern Conference because 748 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 6: the Jason Tatum effect. I just think that they're gonna 749 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 6: make a They're gonna make a strong push forward in 750 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 6: the East. 751 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 2: I feel like I gets it's gonna get back on track. 752 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:39,439 Speaker 3: Man. 753 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 2: I think they might pull it this year. 754 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,879 Speaker 4: I don't know what correct. I just feel like they might. 755 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 4: They might be the team that can do it. I 756 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 4: don't know anyway. Well, that's that's it for me and 757 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,439 Speaker 4: TJ and Plexico. Uh Jonas Knox is coming up next. 758 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 4: This is up on game Fox Sports Radio.
