I had a buddy who listens to 23 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: the podcast really enjoyed the Tuesday show talking about Dabo Sweeney, 24 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence to the NFL, and he's like, I gotta 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: find out how to comment on iTunes. I was like, 26 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: I didn't even know how to reply to that. Figure 27 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: it out. All right, let's get started with the biggest 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: story in sports today, and some of it is horn 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: tooting and I really don't want to do this, but 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: let's be real, folks. Rob G's come around. Jason Tatum 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 1: is a top ten player in the NBA hard stop. 32 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: It's a fact. Lock it up. I mean, he's unstoppable 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: right now. In that Celtics win over Toronto and they 34 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: had to come back in the fourth quarter to do it, 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Tatum was basically running point. He's like a small forward 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: and nobody on Toronto has any chance against him. And 37 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: here's why it's weird. So I was born in New York, 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: as you guys know, and I went to my first 39 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: NBA game. It was Nicks Lakers at MSG. I was 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: a young kid. We were visiting family in New York 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: over the holidays. It was Patrick Ewing's rookie year, Ewing 42 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: verst Bar and I just talked with my dad on 43 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: the phone about this this week. Like we after the game, 44 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: we had to walk like twenty blocks, um to get 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: the right subway to go back to Queen's And it 46 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: was a chilly night. And I remember I just in 47 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: love with basketball. But at the time I picked the 48 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: Knicks and Lakers as my two favorite teams. And because 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: I was born in New York, I stuck with all 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: the New York teams. I picked the Yankees because of 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: Don Mattingly, Donald Arthur Mattingly, sweet left handed swing, put 52 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: up with a lot of bad Mattingly years, A good 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: Mattingly years, bad Yankee years, i should say. And then 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: the New York Jets were my favorite football team. And um, 55 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: I know, if you're the New Yorkers will know this. 56 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: Usually you pick the Giants and Yankees, Mets and Jets. 57 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: But I don't give a crap. I've never played by 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: any of those silly rules. But as a New York fan, 59 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: I was conditioned to hate all things Boston. I've never 60 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: ever liked the Red Sox or anything about them. I 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: have despised the Patriots, but I respect Brady and Belichick obviously. 62 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: And I've never liked the Celtics. I was Team Magic 63 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: against Bird and McHale and Parish and DJ and Age 64 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: and all those guys, and I just never liked Boston. 65 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: You guys heard me go after Doc Reverse on Monday. Listen. 66 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: I'd never liked the Celtics, and Jason Tatum is making 67 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: me like the Celtics. I mean, the kid is easy 68 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: to root for, and they got Kemba Walker who is nice. 69 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, is he good. Jalen Brown is easy 70 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: to uh easy to root for? By the way. Fun fact, 71 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: one of the trainers, these NBA trainers that I talked to, 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: trained Jalen Brown leading up to the NBA Draft. They 73 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: worked out in my gym, and at the time, Jaylen 74 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: Brown was coming out of Cow and I didn't know 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: much about him. I song, I'm like, Okay, this guy 76 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: is pretty good, and you know, the trainer and I 77 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: are good friends. He's like lottery pick for sure. And 78 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: then Jalen Brown goes third in the draft. I think 79 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: it was third in the draft, and I was just 80 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: blown away by how good he is. I mean, this 81 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: team is very likable. And listen, I'm in the tank 82 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: for Brad Stevens. When you can take Butler tow back 83 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: to back Final four's, you gotta be doing something right. 84 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: I know they didn't win either of them, but it 85 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It went to two champions it went. It 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: lost to the championship with Gordon Hayward. Uh that the 87 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: half court shot nearly went in. Like, I like Brad 88 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: Stevens as a coach, and I just the Celtics teams 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: easy to like in folks. Jayson Tatum is real deal 90 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: Holy Field. He's shooting fort on threes in the playoffs. 91 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Toronto has no chance against him. I told you there's 92 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: a bad matchup for the Raptors, and I saw Nick Nurse, 93 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: the Raptors coach, on social media, you know, whining about 94 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum got to the line. You know they really 95 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: helped him out. Like, bro, what are you talking about? 96 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: Tatum got a tech with seventy seconds left in the game. 97 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: That you don't do that. The rest are trying to 98 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: give Toronto a chance. That was a joke. And you know, 99 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum is just better than anyone on the court. 100 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: The reason the Raptors lost was because a Marcus Smart 101 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: went nuts five straight three pointers, I think all in 102 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and Toronto in the final six minutes 103 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,559 Speaker 1: just kept jacking threes and they won one for six 104 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: and finally Jayson Tatum, like they could not stop him 105 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: at all. Tatum is unbelievable. I'm telling you. Rob G 106 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: came around right before we started recording the podcast. He said, 107 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: I've come around. Tatum's a top ten guy, rob G, 108 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: go ahead, give it up for me. I need some props. 109 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: You know how much I hate to do this right. 110 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I dread giving you any kind of problem, 111 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: even the nine and three best bet, which you will 112 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: get onto later on in the pod. I feel like 113 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: it's a little bit food gazzy because you're picking the 114 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: obvious spreads. But it's okay. I mean, Jason Tatum, I 115 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: told you it was too early to crown him as 116 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: it is a top ten guy. He's legit and it's 117 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: not just the scoring. I think he's at twenty seven 118 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: a game in the playoffs, like nine rebounds, three assists 119 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: and super efficient from the field fort from three. It's 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: that he's playing defense too, and that's one thing that 121 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: I think that separates him from you know, maybe even 122 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: a guy like Damian Lillard who's putting up these crazy numbers. 123 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: But he's a turnstile on the other end. You know, 124 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: even though Luca dodges, so I think I was still 125 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: put Luca ahead of Tatum. He doesn't play defense either. 126 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,559 Speaker 1: Tatum is not gonna say elite, but he is upper 127 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: echelon on both ends of the court. And uh, kudos 128 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: to you for spotting it early. I don't like to 129 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: admit it, but a good job by U. J mass 130 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: squirrel every what is it? Every once in a while, 131 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: the squirrel finds a nut or something. Even the blind 132 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: squirrel finds a nut. The games seven and Nuggets, Jazz, 133 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna spend a lot of time 134 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: on this, and we gave out the under. It was 135 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: like to seventeen. It landed on one fifty eight. This 136 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: was a sloppy game seven. The ending was crazy. The 137 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: Nuggets nearly blew it. My only takeaway from this game 138 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: is Denver is gonna get murdered by the Clippers. I 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: would say there's a decent chance the Clippers sweep them. 140 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: I'm already giving away an early best bet, Folks, I 141 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: don't even know what day Game one is. I'm telling 142 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: you pick the Clippers even if they're favored by oh, 143 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: they might be favored by ten. And I know after 144 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: the Bucks lost Game one, I've banned myself from giving 145 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: away double digit favorites. But they're gonna win big over Denver. 146 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how the Nuggets are gonna stop the Clippers, 147 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: and I don't know how they're gonna score on the Clippers. 148 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean, their best option is going through Yokich, who's 149 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: gonna have his way with Zoobob former Laker, and maybe 150 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Montrese Harrold is up to speed at that point. He 151 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: struggled in the bubble. But Jamal Murray is not going 152 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: to have an ad image over Patrick Beverley, and he's 153 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: not gonna have an advantage over Paul George. And other 154 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: than those two guys, I don't know where the points 155 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: are coming from. Michael Porter Jr. Is a young kid 156 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: who showed well in Game seven, but again, you can't 157 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: count on him against what Kawhi Leonard come on, Jeremy 158 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: Grant is a guy that my guy to watch in 159 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: the series. If Denver wins a game, it will because 160 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant showed up at both ends. I do believe 161 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: Jeremy Grant, who I know. People are like, who Jeremy, what? 162 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Jay? This is the kid 163 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: who is one of these switchable wings. He's a kid 164 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: out of Syracuse, was a second round fine young guys 165 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: like He's gonna get paid this offseason because he's a 166 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: three and D guy. I can give this away now. 167 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: Lock the Dallas Mavericks will make a play on Jeremy 168 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: Grant in free agency. Lock it up. It's definitely happening. 169 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: This is a guy who's three in d Okay. He's 170 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: perfect to play with Luca. Sit him in the corner 171 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: and on defense he's gonna guard the best guy. I 172 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: think Jeremy grit makes a lot of sense. We'll watch 173 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: him in the series. Listen, he ain't gonna shut down Kauai. 174 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 1: I think he could show well in one game. So 175 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: that is a rap of what was I thought an 176 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: exciting Tuesday night on the hardwood. I want to quickly 177 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: get to the NFL and the biggest story in football 178 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: as we are now nine days away from the start 179 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: of the NFL season, actually eight the next Thursday, Chiefs 180 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: in the opener against the Texas. Alvin Kamara of the Saints, 181 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: who's a really good running back. He's probably going top 182 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: five in all your fantasy drafts. He has outkicked his 183 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: um his contract. He was a third round pick and 184 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: he's been incredible. He was an All Pro two years ago, 185 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: a little dinged up last year, but he is holding 186 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: out with New Orleans right now, and the Saints, of 187 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: course have the fourth best Super Bowl odds in the league. 188 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: I do believe this is the year. You know, Drew 189 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: Brees supposedly his final year, he goes out on top. 190 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: You can't do that without Kamara. You cannot go to 191 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl without Kamara. Latavius Murray is an admirable backup. 192 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: But the big story here is where is this coming from? 193 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: Because the news came out from a former ESPN reporter, 194 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: Josina Anderson, who said the Saints were open to the 195 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: possibility of trading Kamara. Okay, so why would the Saints 196 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: leak that? Does that mean they want offers to come in? 197 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: Because Camara is hitting him with the I want more money. 198 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: That seems unlikely. So then uh, the athletic came out 199 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: and said, yes, that's accurate. They would trade him, but 200 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: they want to sign him first. So then you're like, 201 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: huh okay, and then Ian Rappaport late Tuesday night says, oh, 202 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: cooler heads are gonna prevail. My guess is Kamara's agent 203 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: was unhappy with how things were unfolding and essentially relayed 204 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: that the Saints are willing to trade them. I don't 205 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: think the Saints are gonna come out and leak that. 206 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: That's bad business with one of your best players to say, yeah, 207 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: are open to trading him, that they would not do that. 208 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: I think this is Camara's camp trying to get some leverage. 209 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw out some numbers here. Christian McCaffrey 210 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: is the highest paid running back in the league sixteen 211 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: million per season, but he's not a running back. He 212 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: catches passes. He over a thousand yards rushing again receiving 213 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: last year. McCaffrey is essentially a wide receiver who runs 214 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: the football. Kamara wants to be that. I looked it up. 215 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: He's got three straight seasons of eighty one receptions, but 216 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: he's not on McCaffrey's scale as a receiver, and the 217 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: durability questions do exist. Again, Camara is he's my size 218 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: five ten, but he's to fifteen. He's all rocked up. 219 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, soaking wet a buck seventy trying 220 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: to get rid of this muffin top I got from 221 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: the damn quarantine. But I mean, Camara has me by 222 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: like forty pounds, and I'm telling you he just can't 223 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: take that pounding running between the tackles. Now you say, 224 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: Ken McCaffrey, there's questions about that. But the run the 225 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: I think they do the zone running because McCaffrey rarely 226 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: takes hits. If you notice, they don't just have him 227 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: running dives. McCaffrey's running running wide and he uses his 228 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: speed to get to the edge. They do that with 229 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: Camara on the Saints, but seemingly not as much because 230 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: they always have two running backs because they don't want 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: him carrying the football as much. This is definitely worth monitoring. Uh, 232 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: there are five running backs making twelve million or more 233 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: a year, Okay, McCaffrey, Ezekiel, Elliott, Levian Bell, David Johnson, 234 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: who's criminally overpaid, and Derrick Henry. Another guy, Joe Mixon 235 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: just joined that group of the Bengals, And if you're 236 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: asking me, the only guy's clearly ahead of Camara here 237 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: are McCaffrey and Zeke. I don't think Joe Mixon is 238 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: better then Kamara. He doesn't do as much. Derrick Henry 239 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: is a between the tackles guy. But I'm telling you 240 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is in for a rough year. They ran 241 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: him into the ground last year. I you never want 242 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: to pay these running backs, man. They discard them, use 243 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: them like toilet paper, and then just toss them to 244 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: the side. Kamara's twenty five years old. This is going 245 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: to be his big money deal. He needs to secure it. 246 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: And the Saints are given pushback because you you guys 247 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: have seen it. Falcons gave what's his name, Davante Freeman 248 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: all that money, he ends up getting cut. Rams give 249 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley all that money, he ends up getting cut. 250 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Like these guys get hurt at running back because of 251 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: the position and the amount of hits they take as 252 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: running backs and receivers. And I'm reluctant to pay Kamara 253 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: big bucks. Maybe I'd try to do a short deal. 254 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: I don't think his agent wants that, obviously. It's it's 255 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. It bears watching because the Saints are 256 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl team. All right. So I'm gonna wrap 257 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: up with this before we get to the Corey Brewer 258 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: interview and of course subscribe, rate and review. You guys 259 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: know the drill. Okay, Big ten football. I gotta choose 260 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: my words carefully. I'm really reluctant to get into this. 261 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: I do want to be clear upfront as a guy 262 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: who works for Fox Sports. Big ten games are on 263 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: Fox Sports and FS one. You guys know the quote. 264 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: I think I've said it on here before. Warren Buffett's 265 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: right hand man, Charlie Munger, whose bread I eat. His 266 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: song I sing, I want there to be Big ten 267 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: football this fall. I'll stop short of saying I need 268 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: there to be Big ten football, but I want it. 269 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: It's good for business. I work for the I wanted 270 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: to happen. The way it's happening right now feels a 271 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: little unseemly. I'm not gonna peel back all the layers 272 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: of the onion, but essentially, Joe Biden ran an ad 273 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I'm based on what I read 274 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: and what I heard ran an ad essentially blaming Trump 275 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: for there being no football in the Big Tent. And 276 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: of course, where's the Big ten located in the Midwest, 277 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: where the or are the biggest swing states in the election. 278 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: So Biden is saying, oh, you guys in the Midwest, 279 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: let this guy who's running for re election, he's the 280 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: reason we don't have football in the Big Ten. Pennsylvania, 281 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: massive swing state, Ohio maybe the biggest swing state, Wisconsin 282 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest swing state. Michigan's big to a lesser extent, 283 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota and Iowa. These states are pivotal to the election. 284 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: So then Trump realizes, oh, wait a minute, maybe I 285 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: can get votes there. Let me talk to the Big 286 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: ten and see how is this gonna work. And apparently 287 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: my colleague at Fox, Clay Travis, was something of a 288 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: middleman in this, putting the Big Ten in with the 289 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: White House. And next thing you know, Trump saying, well, 290 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: if I can get you guys the tests you need, 291 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: what do you need? What could I do to help 292 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: you at football? And let's be real, neither side really 293 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: cares about the football. They certainly don't care about the 294 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: health of the players. Come on, you know this is 295 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: about votes in an election and their pawns. That's what 296 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: they are, and it stinks and I hate it. I 297 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: want the football as bad as you do. You guys 298 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: know I do picks for Fox Sports. I do videos 299 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: every week. Who you picking in college football? Give me 300 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: your five best bets. I did better in college last 301 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: year than for the NFL. And if you know, if 302 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: there's two conferences not playing, hello, fewer games to pick from, 303 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: maybe I'm not doing the video. I don't know, Like 304 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: for selfishly, for me, I want there to be football, 305 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: but I want the kids to be safe. Obviously, what 306 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: do you want something? You don't want a scenario where 307 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: there's a college football player who gets COVID and drops 308 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: dead two weeks after playing, Like, can that happen? Any 309 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean, anything could happen. A buddy of mine texted 310 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: me that sixty four college kids I think that's the 311 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: number he gave me. I haven't double checked. Sixty four 312 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: college kids have died of COVID out of I don't 313 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: know how many millions, And obviously that's a tiny number. 314 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: And then you get into the does it well, does 315 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: it matter about the deaths or the cases or the 316 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: long term effects that we don't know about. There's just 317 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: so much unknown here and I just I don't like 318 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: this topic, as you can tell, but it is relevant. 319 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: And listen, if the Big Ten comes back, what does 320 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: the Pact twelve do now? I know out here in 321 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: California a lot of the colleges have gone online only, 322 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: and like you can't tell, cal Berkeley and Stanford, I mean, 323 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: two pretty elite educational institutions. Not that Michigan and Wisconsin 324 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: and Ohio State aren't, but I don't think they're gonna 325 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: roll over in the PAC twelve of the way the 326 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: Big Ten would, so a lot left to be sorted out. Again, 327 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm rooting for football. I would love it to happen 328 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: safely and uh, Unfortunately, guys, I don't think this store 329 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: is going away. Luckily we have NBA Playoff us and 330 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: coming up next, we have a tremendous interview that I 331 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: recorded on Tuesday with Corey Brewer, former Florida wingman. I 332 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: actually thought Corey Brewer coming out of college compared favorably 333 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: to Scottie Pippott. He would make a great number two 334 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: or three defend on the wing hit threes. Corey Brewer 335 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: a great guy, great interview, Enjoy it. Jason likes to 336 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: think he knows everything when it comes to sports. I 337 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: know what sports dance want, but for everything he doesn't. 338 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: He knows a guy who does. Let's just say I 339 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: know a guy who knows the guy he knows another guy. 340 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome in a special guest to straight Fire. 341 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: A and former NBA star play on the Florida Gators. 342 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: And what's most interesting is he played on the Houston 343 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: Rockets and later the Okay see thunder to preview Gabe seven, 344 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: Corey Brewer joining straight Fire. Corey, how are you man? 345 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm great man. Thanks for having Yeah, hey, thanks for 346 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: joining me. And I don't know, I'm torn on how 347 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: to handle this game, the whole Harden and Westbrook versus 348 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: Chris Paul. There's so many factors that play here. Um, 349 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: let's let's start with the obvious. You know, Game six 350 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: was a bit of a meltdown for Houston and there's 351 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: a lot of blame going on Russell Westbrook who had 352 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: the airball late and the turnover, and then other people saying, listen, 353 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: James Harden just didn't want it. It's who is who 354 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: he is, always melting in crunch time. How did you 355 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: view what happened there in Game six between the between 356 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: the two stars of the Rockets. I think some way, 357 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: somehow James Harden has to get the ball, like like 358 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: I love Rust to death, but Rust hasn't played in 359 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: a while. Like it's not if Rust has been full speed, 360 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: like he's been fully recovered, been playing basketball. Okay, I 361 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: understand Rest taking that shot becase I've seen Rust and 362 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: make that shot a lot. But Rust has been out 363 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: of action for a while. He's just getting back. He's 364 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: on an inter restriction. Um, James Harden playing on the 365 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: best basketball he's playing in a long time, and he's 366 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: been very efficient. So if I'm looking at his game, 367 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: some way, somehow James has to get that ball, Like 368 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know whose fault it was, but 369 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: it's all their faults. Because James doesn't get the ball, 370 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: they lose. And that's what happened. So yeah, I mean, 371 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't agree with you, but Corey, let me ask 372 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook throughout his career has been uh, I'm the guy, 373 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, the whole stuff with him and Kevin Durant 374 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: and then it was him and Paul George and now 375 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: he's like got to share the ball with Harden. And 376 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I've gotten hammered on the internet for 377 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: beating up on Russ. I've said he's not really a 378 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: winning player. He's a talented player, crazy talent and skills, 379 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: But I don't know, Like in crunch time, who do 380 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: you think should have the ball in the Rockets, Russell Harden? 381 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 1: There's no question James I said the ball like I 382 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: love rest of death, you know, like I trust Russ 383 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: taking shots. I trud Russe is doing what he does, 384 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: but on this team and right now, like James Harden 385 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: is the best score in the NBA and the end 386 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: of the game, James Harden has to get the last shot, 387 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: or he has to take the shots down the shifts 388 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: if they're gonna win, if you he wants to win 389 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: basketball games, or they're trying to advance, James Harden has 390 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: to be the ball. So I don't know what they 391 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: gotta do. They gotta look at film and D'Anthony gotta 392 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: say something. James Harden needs had a ball in his hands, 393 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: all right, So let me go back to your time 394 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: in Houston, and it was earlier in Harden's career, I 395 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: think about five years ago. And since then, he's been 396 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: an awesome regular season player. He's got the m v P. 397 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: And we've seen some postseason meltdown's Corey, Is there any 398 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: way you can wrap your arms around what happens to 399 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: Harden in the postseason? Um, you know there's been a 400 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: lot about Hey man, he over dribbles during the regular season, 401 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: very ice, so heavy. He gets just tired come playoffs. 402 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, we had a four and a half 403 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: month layoff. Uh. You know what, what's hard this problem 404 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 1: come postseason. It used to be he was playing so 405 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: many minutes. He's kind of wear down when the playoffs, 406 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: when the playoffs happened. But he got in great shape 407 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. He's got his body in 408 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: great shape. Um, and I feel like now it's just 409 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: about him getting the ball, Like you can't say melting down. 410 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: Like like, I don't think if Chris Paul doesn't get 411 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: hurt last year the year before last, they probably get 412 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: to the finals. In my mind, Chris Paul gets hurt, 413 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: that's just bad luck. Um, this year, you're right, he had. 414 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: He had a lot of time off, like he's ready 415 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 1: to go. You see the way he's playing right now. 416 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: You can see he's he's rejuvenated. He's great out there. 417 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: It's just they've lost like three three games, two or 418 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: three of these games down the stretch, Like he didn't 419 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: get the ball. He should have got the ball the 420 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: one game they lost where even though Daniel House gets fouled, 421 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: he misses one out two three drows and they lose. 422 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: James Harden should had the ball. I really have James 423 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: Harden those two free drowsy. So that's the way I 424 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: look at things. And last night James Harden needs the ball. 425 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: You cut it. You mentioned Chris Paul, which brings us 426 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: to another guy who's been unlucky in the playoffs with injuries. 427 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: Uh up three one. I believe on your rockets and 428 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: they gagged it away. Um, I don't. Chris Paul is 429 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: a tough one. You know. We heard the stories about 430 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: him feuding with Blake and the Clippers at the end. 431 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: We obviously saw him and James Harden feuding openly last 432 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: year when they lost to the Warriors. I don't what 433 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: is it about Chris Paul? What are the players saying 434 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: about Chris Paul because you see a lot of social 435 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: media chatter after every Chris Paul game. Um, guys, you 436 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 1: gotta love Chris Paul for what he does, who he is, 437 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: and some guys can't take it. You know, Chris Paul 438 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: is a great leader. Um, he's gonna he's gonna say 439 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: what's on his mind. He's like another coach on the floor. 440 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: You know, some guys they don't want to player have 441 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 1: been a coach trying to coach him. So it kind 442 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: of reed guys the wrong way. But I think he's 443 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: great And okay, see now because those guys listen to 444 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: him like they're a team and they understand he's the 445 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: leader and everybody's follow suit and everybody knows what they 446 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: gotta do. I kind of think it's hard when you 447 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: have another alpha, like you know, him and James kind 448 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: of both for the alpha. So that's kind of tough. 449 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: If if one alpha has to get, you might have 450 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: two alpha's on the team. Somebody has to get, but 451 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: one doesn't give, you're gonna have what you would end 452 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: up having. So you make a great point. You know, 453 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: he and Blake Griffin were basically co Alpha's on that 454 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: Clippers team as Blake Griffin was healthy and ascending, and 455 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: then him and Gordon. But now you're right, he's with 456 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: the okay SE's supporting cast that. I don't think anybody thinks, 457 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: you know, Steven Adams or Shape Guild just Alexander are 458 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: there yet, so maybe they pull this off. Do you 459 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: have a pick yet? For game seven? Man? I was 460 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: thinking the Rockets the whole way. I'm not gonna lied. 461 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: I never thought it would get to a game seven. 462 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: Now it's one game, man, Andris Paul comes down and 463 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 1: do anything. Yesterday man, I think, okay, so he has 464 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: a chance. You know, I love Cod Donond that's my coach, 465 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: So you know, I think, okay, so he has a chance. 466 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: And with with the way the game ended yesterday, I'm 467 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: giving it. Okay see, I'm going okay see, just because 468 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: that's a lot going on over there now, like yeah, 469 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: Dame doesn't get the ball rest air ball? Like now 470 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: how are they how are they go a player? How 471 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: are they gonna work out? Like if that same situation 472 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: comes tomorrow, we know, okay, see's great in late time, 473 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: late crunchtown. If you look at it all season, Okay, 474 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: see's great in crunshtown. So what are the Rockets gonna 475 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: do in Crunchtown? Is James gonna get the ball or 476 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? Like in my mind, I think James 477 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: should have been bringing the ball up and rush this 478 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: at the screen instead of vice versia. Like, yeah, Russ 479 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: bringing up and James. But you want to switch anyway, 480 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: you want to switch, You want James. James wants to switch. 481 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,719 Speaker 1: So you have rust in the screen. They have, they 482 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: have to switch, so why not. But you don't have 483 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: to pass it. But if you have Russ bringing down, 484 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: he has to be able to throw it back to James. 485 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: I think that's they should take that out of the 486 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: whole equation and let James bring a lot of questions 487 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: for D'Antoni. Remember he was the guy who didn't really 488 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: change anything when they missed twenty seven straight threes against 489 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: the Warriors in Game seven. Of course, so I want 490 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: to look ahead. Who do you think presents a bigger 491 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: problem for the Lakers next round? The Rockets or the 492 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Thunder the Lakers. I'm I'm gonna say the Rockets prevent 493 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: just because the Rockets have Like if Russ does get 494 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: back into playing the way we know he can play. 495 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: And those guys the way they just the way they play. 496 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: They shoot sixty three of the game and they're all 497 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: capable getting hot. And James Harden is capable of winning 498 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: the game by itself. It's capable going for fifty or 499 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: sixty win the game byself. And I feel like the 500 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: Rockets are just just they could give the Lakers problems. 501 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: But okay, see they're young team, and you know, a 502 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: young team against Lebrian and a d I think the 503 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: Lakers they don't have a problem with. Okay. See, so 504 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: it brings up a good question, Like you were a 505 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: primary wing defender, long arms, you could switch a bowl, 506 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: you could guard the problem you a one to three um? 507 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: Is there a guy on the Lakers that you think 508 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: would probably best have a chance against James Harden. We 509 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: know nobody's stopping Harden, Danny who do you think gives 510 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: them the best chance? Really? I like Danny Green because 511 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: if you watched throughout throughout their career, Danny Green's did 512 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: a decent job one Jane just because he keeps his 513 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: hands out like he really doesn't foul. He just puts 514 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: his body on the kind of same thing lou Doitt does. 515 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: Like you know, he's solid. He's solid, he's gonna, he's drown, 516 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: and he's gonna He's gonna stay on him. And that's 517 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: what you gotta do against James. You gotta keep a 518 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: body on him and just make it tough on him. 519 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: Nobody stopping jam just nobody stopping him. But if you 520 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: can make it tough on him, try to wear him down, 521 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: hopefully missing shots in the fourth quarter. I had an 522 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: NBA trainer suggest to me that Kyle Kuzuma's length. Now 523 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: we know he's not a great defender, but simply his 524 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: length can give Harden some problems. Any credence to Kyle 525 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: Kuzuma checking Harden. I mean Kuzma may start right because 526 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: they're not gonna start JaVale McGee uh and a d 527 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: against the No Center Rockets, and he thoughts on Kuzma 528 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: versus Harden, I'm gonna play Danny Green. I go, my God, 529 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: but no way. I don't know what's training he was 530 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: talking to. But James, James, James and kuz I like 531 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Danny Green, you better, Danny Green is more experienced. Danny 532 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: Greens went championships and I'm going Danny Green. J Alright, so, 533 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: uh now we're onto the Lebron portion of the podcast. 534 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: Everywhere you talk TV radio podcast, Lebron's gonna get questions. 535 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: But Corey, this is one of the greatest mysteries I 536 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: think in the NBA in the last two decades. What 537 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: the hell happened to Lebron in the twenty eleven finals 538 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: against your Mavericks. I've talked to Eddie House about this. 539 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: I've talked to Sean Mary, anybody you talked to. It's 540 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: just like, I don't know, it's a mystery, like it 541 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: was by far the weakest series Lebron's played in his career, 542 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: average like seventeen a game we jj Barea was given 543 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: him fits transport yourself back to eleven, Corey, you know 544 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: you're with the Mavericks. What on earth happened to Lebron 545 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: in that series? We had We had a great defensive scheme. Um, 546 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: we had Jason Kidd, you know, Jay Kidd actually was 547 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: guarding Lebron, but we also had Sean Mary and Sean Stevenson. 548 00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: So we had three guys when we could put on 549 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: Lebron in the way and they and they all did 550 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: a great job and I think Sean was picking him 551 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: up forward court, then Jay Kid would pick him up 552 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: forward court, and then the shanill pick him up. So 553 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: we you know, we knew what we had to do. 554 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: And then you had a guy like Tyson Chandler anchor 555 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: in the back of the defense. So if you sent 556 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: him in there and Tyson was he was really protecting 557 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: the room. Then and we had another guy, Brandon Haywood. 558 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: We had to seven footers, so we just protected the 559 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: rim and those guys did a great job of wearing 560 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: Lebron down and picking him up. And then j d 561 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: Rare played out of his mind. He was he was 562 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: amazing for us. Um you know, he was making shot. 563 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: And then you can't forget we had during the Whisky 564 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: and Jason te so offensively that two man game with 565 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: those guys, we were we had, we had, we we 566 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: had to win. We knew we could win. I think 567 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: he averaged seventeen and like they, I think the Heat 568 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: won Game one and then there was a meltdown. I 569 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: believe at the end of game too. That kind of 570 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: opened the floodgates. But I don't know, Like since that loss, 571 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: Lebron for me has been unbelievable. We sawways on with 572 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: the heat, his run with the Calves, first with Kyrie 573 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: and the note Kyrie and I don't know. I gotta say, Corey, 574 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: I right now have Jordan's one A and Lebron one BAT. 575 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: And I've said repeatedly, if Lebron is able to win 576 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: a title this year with a third team and when 577 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: the finals MVP, even if he doesn't win the finals, 578 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: MVP and A D gets it, I think Lebron passes 579 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: Jordan's as the goat. Um we're getting ahead of ourselves. 580 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: But I gotta ask, you know, let's say Lebron delivers 581 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: this year, wins the title, doesn't pass Jordan's. I don't 582 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: know if he passes Jordan's. It's just tough for me 583 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: to say that, just because growing up and the Jordan 584 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: there and watching Jordan win those six it's tough. But 585 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: he's definitely, definitely. I wouldn't argue with you if you 586 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: said he was better than jo like I wouldn't. I 587 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't argue, you know what I'm saying. Like it's one 588 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: of those things. It's tough. It's tough to say anybody's 589 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: better than Jordan when you're a Jordan fan, but Lebron 590 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: was another title with the third team. I'm not gonna argue, 591 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: especially the way he's playing right now. I think he 592 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: had a triple double lasting Lebron is playing, so Lebron 593 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: may win a couple more titles sports over, So yeah, 594 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: he definitely Like no, I could argue. Yeah, all right, 595 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: So last question. We saw Jannic's really struggle in Game 596 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: one against the Heat. It's only the second round, but 597 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, every Bucks loss is gonna be like, all right, 598 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: what's super super team? Is Yanna is gonna be going 599 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: to Corey? Listen, you're doing a lot of media, your 600 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: former player. You know these guys, You know how people 601 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: like to team up. Do you see Yanna staying in 602 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: Milwaukee or do you see him testing the market and 603 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: seeing whether he was gonna play with Luca or maybe 604 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: Lebron and they d or who knows? What are your 605 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: thoughts on Jannice And again, a lot of basketball left 606 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: to be played. That would be crazy. That was Luca KP. 607 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: But I think Janna is a loyal guy. I think 608 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: he wants to win with Milwaukee, like like the game 609 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: is chance. Like he went from a skinny kid to 610 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: being m v P did his at the year. I 611 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: think for him, he was want to start to come 612 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: play with him before he goes and joining somebody else. 613 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: But I couldn't get somebody to Milwaukee. I could be wrong. 614 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying that's that's in his mindset. I think he 615 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: really wants to win a title for the city of 616 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: Milwaukee just because they've been behind him. They see him 617 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: go from like nothing, basically a skinny kid. Wh why 618 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: are you drafting this guy to ben who he is 619 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: like m VPS, like I think he wants. But like 620 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: you said, man, now with all these guys teaming up, 621 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: all these super teams, who knows you can say if 622 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: they lose the Miami he could be like, I can't 623 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: win here and leave it, just like you know Katie 624 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: Katie Love. I didn't think Katie would never leave Okay here, 625 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: so nothing surprised me anymore. Yeah, we saw Paul George 626 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: smoking cigars with Russell Westbrook and okay see saying you 627 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: know I'm staying. And then a year later Kauai calls, Yo, 628 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: you want to come out to l A so core, 629 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough. Listen, where didn't you team up 630 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: with a bunch of guys at Florida or did that? 631 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: Was it not that much of it with Horford and Noah, 632 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: you guys had a stack team. Yeah, but that coach 633 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: recruited us. So you know, we all we all wanted 634 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: to play together, but coach recruited us, and once we 635 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: got there, we developed into the team we became. It 636 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: wasn't like we were like, hey, you know, we're already great, 637 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: let's let's join let's join forces. But you know, now 638 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: the game changed since I first got into the league. 639 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: You know, you and I would never even think about 640 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: it like a super team. And then once the decision 641 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: happened and you know, Miami teamed up, everything's went anywhere. 642 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: Like you see all the kind of guys shy the 643 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: team up now and the young generation with all the 644 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: social media, they've been playing against each other, playing together 645 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: since they were like twelve years old. Now they they're 646 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: all like best friends. So it's it's a little different now. God, 647 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: guys are really friends and they want to play together, 648 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: like you see the Timberwolves they got D'Angelo Russell and 649 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: in towns like they're really good friends, like gott are 650 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: trying to team up so it's a it's a little 651 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: different though, it's fun alright. Corey Brewer, Florida Superstar NBA 652 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: what tenure veteran uh, Corey has been on a lot 653 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: of teams, knows the league. Well, thanks a lot for 654 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: the time, Corey appreciate thanks. Having the only thing better 655 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: than sitting on your couch watching the game. He's making 656 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: money while you do it. Here's your best beat. Tremendous 657 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: stuff from Corey Brewer. I can't believe he laughed. He 658 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: scoffed about the idea of Kuzma defending James Harden. I 659 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: think Kuzma might have a chance. We'll see that. Series 660 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: will be getting under way soon. But it's time, folks, 661 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: for the best bet. We're rolling. We're rocking and rolling. 662 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: But I've used this analogy before. If you haven't listened 663 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: to every podcast, I'll repeat it. Gambling is like surfing 664 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: in the ocean. Spend all this time in the water. 665 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: There's gonna be big scary waves. Well, you're losing a 666 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: lot of money. There's gonna be big exciting waves. We're 667 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: riding a great wave in and making a lot of money. 668 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: Now right now, we're on a hot one. We're on 669 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,720 Speaker 1: a heater. The timing couldn't be better with the NFL 670 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: coming up, and I nine and three is a pretty 671 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 1: good running. And this is where you get a little 672 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: bit tight because I talked about how much I liked 673 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: the Miami Heat in this series, and I really want 674 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: to go back to the well. But we saw that 675 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: Toronto Boston game and it Boston was shaky in the 676 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: third quarter. I think they fell down by twelve, ten 677 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: or twelve points, and something tells me the Bucks fight 678 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: back with a vengeance here. But I think I'm gonna 679 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: take the heat again. I think I'm gonna take the 680 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: Miami Heat getting five narrowly, narrowly over the Okay, see 681 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: Houston under. Now that line has come cratering down. Remember 682 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 1: we just hit the game seven under of Utah Denver 683 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: to seventeen. The thought process is game seven. Everybody's a 684 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: little bit tight, right, People are trying Defensively, they're locked in. 685 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: Maybe people a little a little nervous offensively, rope players 686 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: little shaky deferring to the stars, and the games tend 687 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: to be a little slower and more intense. This is 688 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: going down from toe to to nineteen, and I want 689 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: to take the under here. Okay, see, probably will have 690 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: to go small now. I did see Russell Westbrook is 691 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: on a minute's restriction. You know what, to hell with it, 692 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: I am doubling up again. I'm going with the Miami 693 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: Heat getting five, and I just talked myself into it. Okay, 694 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: see Houston under to nineteen. I'll need a prayer for 695 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: that one. I will because you know where the rockets. 696 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: They're not gonna miss twenty seven threes in a row 697 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: like they did in Game seven against the Warriors. But 698 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,239 Speaker 1: I hope they will because you know, I'm rooting, ok 699 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: see selfishly for the Lakers.
