1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright Episode three thirty six,

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: our finals preview edition. Apologies for kind of the underdressed

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: nature if you're watching on YouTube. I had a nice

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: fit on, but we're having the AC fixed at the

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: house and so we had to turn all the AC

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: units off in the house, so it is sweltering in here,

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: so I can't wear what I was supposed to be wearing.

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: You guys don't care about that. I also, one thing

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: you guys seem to care about but you maybe shouldn't,

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: is kind of internescing media beefs and man, there's a

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: tangled web involving metal arc folks, ESPN folks, ringer folks.

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm tangentially involved. The whole thing is such a mess,

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: so let me just address it in chronological order before

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: we get to the show. So I went on Levatard show.

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: He asked me about Pablo Torre and I said, basically, listen,

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not a recurring guest on Pablo's podcast. I

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: appreciate him asking me on a bunch, but I you know,

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: it was only so many hours in a day. I'm

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: a recurring guest on Baumani's podcast Lebatards Dan Patrick's and

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Colin Cowherd. The latter three are my three kind of

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: as a young person media idols. The first one is

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: one of my best friends in the world. Everything else

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: is kind of like, you know, I'll drop in but

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: pop in here and there, but not regularly. Pablo Tuk

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: didn't take that condly kindly, and he banned me. So

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I've now been banned from a show that I had

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: no interest in going on again, So no problem. The

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: sad part about that was he banned me with Mina

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: sitting right there. And Mina and I have an odd

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: relationship and by that I mean this. I call her

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: a media arrival because she is. I say I will

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: vanquish her because I'm being tongue in cheek in reality

33
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pull the curtain all the way back

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: in reality. I have massive risk not only respect for

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Mina Kimes, but I think she's excellent. I think she's excellent.

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I also think she is very regularly unfairly maligned in

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: the media or really not in the media but by

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: uh other by other by people on Twitter, and so

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: I was I was ready to, uh let everyone know

40
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm calling off the media beef with Mina Chimes, especially

41
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: after I heard for no reason whatsoever, when there's a

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: hundred people to pick from, when Roussillo's making a joke

43
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: about what inside the NBA is gonna do on ESPN,

44
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: He's like, maybe the lad Mina Chimes. Now, maybe it's

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: just a harmless joke. But it was to pick her

46
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: of everyone when she is the most unfairly maligned person

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: on that network. I think it's crazy. So I didn't

48
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: love that. I don't know Ryan, but it was. I'm

49
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: sure he didn't intend any harm, but I didn't love that.

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I agreed with me on that. And then I heard

51
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: a clip where Mina compared me to brock Party, to

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: which I say, feud back on to which I say,

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: there is a you know what, I take back all

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the compliments. And then in the midst of all that,

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Simmons and Pablo now all of a sudden seem to

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: have a real thing where Simmons called him a fake journalist,

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: and then Pablo's like, actually, I'm glad to hear from you.

58
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: I have a lot of questions I like to have answered,

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Like he's the district attorney, so stay tuned. I'm excited

60
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: to hear it, Deman, say give your thoughts real quick.

61
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: I think the dog's attacking the air conditioner, guys, so

62
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: I gotta get him in here talk.

63
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I wonder how they compared with a

64
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Rock Party's similar back.

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: I had to put Dexter in the room. Those poor

66
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: guys probably freaking out. Dexter things he's a guard dog.

67
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: He is not a guard dog. He's just barking like crazy.

68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: So there's the catch up for everyone on all this.

69
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: In short, I have no I have no beef with

70
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Pablo because the Pablo banned me from a show that

71
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want to have to keep turning him down

72
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: to go on. So that's fine. I had a fake

73
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: beef with me in a that is now a vehement

74
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: real beef because she compared me to Brock Party. Come on,

75
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: that's below the belt.

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah what what similarities like? You know?

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I think she was I think in this context like

78
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: she was Josh Allen and I was Brock Purty, or

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: it was something like I'm punching above my weight, whatever

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: it was. She was egged on by another person on

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: the pod who was it. I don't want to get

82
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: it wrong. I think David Dennis. I think it was

83
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: who I don't know, but I actually like and it

84
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: was mister irrelevant jokes is none of that. But then

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: in the midst of all this man, oh man, this

86
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Hudson story, it's got a lot of tentacles, all

87
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden and very ominous sight. So now I'm

88
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: plugging Pablo's podcast, which I didn't even want to do.

89
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: So I guess you know what, Pablo and your Harvard

90
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: degree maybe outsmarted me. Buddy, point to you the polatory show.

91
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: But what did you say?

92
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: I don't know why. I think you show I did it.

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: I had to pay for my car there and car Beck.

94
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: It's costing me money.

95
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: He on your show costs me money. I'm not asking

96
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: to get paid, but my goodness, but somebody can pick

97
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: me up. Like it's just hey, hey, bully, like hey,

98
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I need you to I need you to drive me

99
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: to the airport. And by the way, I go to

100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the airport every two weeks, Like what a second? All right,

101
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: all right here, what missed the cut? Timothy shallow May's

102
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: playoff run comes to an end along with the New

103
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: York Knicks. Saquon Barkley, named the Madden cover athlete and

104
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: the biggest story in the sports world. The Royals call

105
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: up Jeffrey Allen CAGLIONI. Kaglion is how they're gonna pronounce it.

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pronounce it CAGLIONI. They call Jack he's going

107
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: to mash and the Royals, which have the best pitching

108
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: staff in baseball, now, all of a sudden, are gonna

109
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: stop losing games one nothing. They played consecutive games this

110
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: weekend but that they won one nothing and then they

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: lost one nothing. It's like the dead ball or at

112
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: Kaufman Stadium right now. It's maddening.

113
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: So are those the most exciting baseball games that ends

114
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: one that n one zero? I've been told by an

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: editor on the staff that those are the most exciting

116
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: games as baseball watchers. Well, in the I mean, I

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: know it means that, like the pitching was obviously phenomenal

118
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: if the score was super low like that.

119
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: But I would say one nothing is better than ten

120
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: to eight. I do think that because ten to eight

121
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: to just feel but on and one nothing in the

122
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: playoffs is gripping, because you feel like you're in jeopardy

123
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: at every moment. The flip side to that is, I

124
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: think the best baseball game is probably four to three

125
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: or three to two, like good pitching but with some

126
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: big hits. Right, But that was a I don't know

127
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: the editor that said that to you, and I don't

128
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: want to get you, you know, weird work politics, but

129
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: I feel like he was trying to like be like you,

130
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: you're not.

131
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: You don't know what you're talking about. That's his that's

132
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: his scheme, that's his.

133
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: That's okay, well, okay, well that's the maybe a step

134
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: far all right. By the way, reminder, like rate subscribe

Speaker 1: But you can also like rate subscribe review on Spotify

143
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: and on iTunes and everything. And by the way, if

144
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I seem extra amped up, it's for two reasons. One

145
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: is I don't know why, but this morning I just

146
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: I no one else has drank coffee in the house today.

147
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: I made a pot of coffee, which is twelve cups

148
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: worth on the thing, and right before the show, I

149
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 1: went to pour myself a cup and there it's all gone.

150
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: So I somehow drank a pot of coffee this morning.

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I have. But the other

152
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: reason is because I fly to Vegas tonight for the

153
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: World Series of Poker. I could not be more excited.

154
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: And so I am amped and ready to go. And

155
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: we have an NBA finals. Let's get rolling, demanday.

156
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the finals are officially set after the Pacers

157
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: took care of business.

158
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 3: The other day and set the tip off on Thursday.

159
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 2: Okay, see is minus seven hundred to win it all,

160
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: while Indiana's plus five hundred. Are you giving the Pacers

161
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: any chance here?

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: Not? Really? I will. I will make so here. I

163
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: don't think it is. It would only be disrespectful to

164
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: Indiana to not give them a chance if I didn't.

165
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: Also think Oklahoma City is in the midst of an

166
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: all time season. So if I thought Oklahoma City was

167
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: just a good team and I'm not giving Indiana a chance,

168
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: that's disrespectful. But I think Oklahoma City, in the current

169
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: construct of the NBA is really really smartly built knows

170
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: exactly who they want to be can Aside from Tasha,

171
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: I believe with stand an injury if it were to happen.

172
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet this postseason, but they did deal

173
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: with it in the regular season. They dealt with it well.

174
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: And they have just a bunch of different ways to

175
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: beat you. And over the course of NBA history, the

176
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: formula of what if the team with the best defense

177
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: in the league and the team with the leading scorer

178
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: in the league, what if that were the same team,

179
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: That's a pretty tough formula to beat. Where you have

180
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: the guy who is most certain to get you thirty

181
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and the rare off night that that guy has the

182
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: defense can win the game for you. That's historically speaking,

183
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: a very tough formula to beat. And so here is

184
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: how the Pacers would win. Okay, the and again I'm

185
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: gonna give better the Year here in a minute, and

186
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna indicate that I don't think the Pacers are

187
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: going to win, and I don't think the Pacers really

188
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: can win. But here's how they would win. Okay, they

189
00:10:52,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: would win by their pace being such that Oklahoma City

190
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: is not able to get it to their set defense

191
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: with regularity the way they want to. Now, Oklahoma City's

192
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: defense is so good de Monse they have great transition

193
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: defense as well, and so the Pacers aren't gonna be

194
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: able to just dominate the transition the way they did

195
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: against the Knicks. Go ahead.

196
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's exactly the exact thing that I was saying,

197
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: because that was what was getting the Knicks is how

198
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: fast pace they were playing. But okay, see as defense,

199
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: young guys, and I feel like they could stick with

200
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: him somow easiest.

201
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: Correctly, certainly better than the Knicks did. But the Pacers

202
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: is still going to try to run, and you're still

203
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: going to have fewer possessions with your set half court

204
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: defense than than you've had in any of your previous series.

205
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: Because Denver wasn't trying to get out and run, Minnesota

206
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: just felt like was drawing dead. The Grizzlies oddly did

207
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: want to get out there and run, but the Grizzlies

208
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: just were not good enough. And certainly, once Jah got

209
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: hurt like that series they blew a forty point lead

210
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, thirty point lead whatever they blew like that

211
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: series was never gonna be competitive. So obviously the Pacers

212
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: are gonna have to get out and run. I do think,

213
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: and this isn't an insult to Dagonaal, that the Pacers

214
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: have the coaching edge. Carlisle is a really great coach

215
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: who adjusts and changes his style and will adjust on

216
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: the fly as much as just about anybody. So I

217
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: think that part is, you know, one of the few

218
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: check marks the Pacers have. I also think that oddly

219
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: this could be a series, well I shouldn't say oddly,

220
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: for the Pacers to have a chance. And this is

221
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna surprise you because of what I've said about Shay's

222
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: free throws and stuff. They need this to be a

223
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: very tight whistle. And the reason they need it to

224
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: be a tight whistle is because tight whistle, loose whistle,

225
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: regular whistle. I almost added train whistle on there because

226
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm a dad joke. Shay's gonna get his free throws.

227
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: What they need is for the for them to have

228
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: a real chance, for the refs to early on be like, no, caruso,

229
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: We're not allowing you to play rugby out here, and

230
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm not taking I think Oklahoma City is brilliant with

231
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: how they defend, but what they and someone else made

232
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: this analogy or used this example, so it's not mine,

233
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: but they have a similar style to the Legion of

234
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: Boom Seahawks, which was if we fail you every play,

235
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: you can't be like, we're gonna set the template early

236
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: that we are gonna be that physical as I do that. Uh,

237
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: and we're gonna set the template early. Uh. That is

238
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that we're gonna play and we're gonna make sure the

239
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: game is officiated on our terms. It I think the

240
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: they need the refs to kind of disallow that, so

241
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: to speak, right, So that's so that has to go

242
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: their way. Siakam's gotta be awesome, and this was something

243
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: that I think some people have forgotten. It's worth referencing.

244
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: Siakam in his one career NBA Finals was excellent in

245
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: the series. And the I'm pulling it up right now

246
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: what his full series line was for the series. He

247
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: was twenty points, eight rebounds, four assists. But what jumps

248
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: at you is he had two spectacular games. First game

249
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: of those finals and that was obviously Durant wasn't back

250
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: yet for the brief time he was back. But what, yeah, Durant,

251
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: what game did Durant come back for those finals? I

252
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: think it was Game two that Durant came back. I'm

253
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna double check that. Uh when maybe that hold on,

254
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. Let me just double check when Durant

255
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: came back. It doesn't matter. It wasn't that game. Maybe

256
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: it was game I don't remember what game it was.

257
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it was game five. Uh, I don't know why.

258
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't remember. But regardless, someone in the chat or

259
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: the producers tell me which game Durant came back, It

260
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Point is game one of that series. Uh.

261
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: Siakam was fourteen of seventeen from the field, fourteen of

262
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: seventeen his first career Finals game and had thirty two

263
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: and in the closeout game in game six, he had

264
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: twenty six and ten to win the title. So he's

265
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: gotta be outstanding in that in this series. And it

266
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: was game five that Durant came back in those finals.

267
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: I knew it was. I knew the game was in Toronto,

268
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: so it had to be game one, two or five

269
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: because there was the you know, there was the time

270
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: people were cheering, and it was after he got hurt.

271
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: It was ugly, so that all has to happen. And

272
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: then honestly, they've got to get a little lucky. To Manse,

273
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: what were you about to.

274
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: Say, get lucky?

275
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: I was about to say, throw on, Shay, you should

276
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: try to clog up the mid range.

277
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: I guess, Okay at three, But but yeah, I feel

278
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: like it.

279
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: And make them shoot threes. I agree, and live and

280
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: die with non Shay guys killing you. I I agree

281
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: with all that, and nim hard should be an annoyance

282
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: to Shay. But Shay has been so I mean, Shane's

283
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: been so great against everyone all year. But then here's

284
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: the last part. And and this is the part that

285
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: makes when I'm about to give you a bet of

286
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: the year, the only part of me that makes me

287
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: a little nervous. Chet and Jadub have been excellent this postseason. Excellent.

288
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: Will there be some finals butterflies for those guys specifically? Now,

289
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: you might say, Nick, everyone who plays in this series

290
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: except for Caruso and Siakam it's their first finals. Anybody

291
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: can have finals, butterflies, got it? I understand the point.

292
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to lay out how the Pacers would pull

293
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: off the upset, and the answer is that Jadub has

294
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: the type of series like he had against Dallas in

295
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: Round two last year, and all those other things happen.

296
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: So it's a you gotta hit a superfecta of perfect

297
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: to be this Oklahoma City team four times in seven games,

298
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: especially when you don't have anybody on your team that

299
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: is just you can just pencil in for thirty and

300
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: they can pencil Shay in for thirty. Now, Halliburton's a

301
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: different type of player. I understand that, But still some

302
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: of Halliburton's effectiveness relies on other guys hitting shots, and

303
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: that's not necessarily the case for Shy. All Right, I've

304
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: been teasing at demons, go ahead.

305
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: With the dying to drop your bet of the year

306
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 3: exced on TV.

307
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 2: Okay, see minus one and a half games at minus

308
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: two to seventy five.

309
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: Let's hear your logic on this, all.

310
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: Right, it's minus two seventy five. I get that that's

311
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: laying a lot of wood, but that's also a thirty

312
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: six percent return on your money. And here's how that

313
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: bet doesn't come through. The Pacers win the series, no bro,

314
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: or the series goes seven games. I just don't see it.

315
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: So you win if OKAC wins in four or five

316
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: or six, and the Daniel is asking is the Is

317
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: this the perfect leg to throw in a parlay? I'm

318
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: not sure. It's very hard. This is the type of

319
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: bet you typically can't parlay with anything like it's oh,

320
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: cross sport parlay. Oh I thought you made a different Well,

321
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: it's no longer better the Year, can I It's no

322
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: longer bet of the year if you're thrown into parlay.

323
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you want to have, in my opinion,

324
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: a great chance to have a thirty six percent return

325
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: on your money in the span of two weeks, okay,

326
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: se minus a game and a half is where I

327
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: would be placing. It's it's it's how I would be

328
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, using again gamble responsibly. I always it's always weird.

329
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are because like what

330
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm this is I'm just giving you my opinion of

331
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: and I'm just telling you how I am going to bet.

332
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 1: But I'm also I think supposed to be like I'm

333
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: not providing gambling advice, but like I call it bet

334
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: of the year. So again, I don't know any of

335
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: these rules here. Please nobody get mad at me. I

336
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: don't need the Better Business Bureau coming after what's right?

337
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: But this is just for me, how I think how

338
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I would play the series. Lay in seven hundred is

339
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: too much. What'd you say, move of the year, bet

340
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: of the year.

341
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, just for.

342
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: A Also, I do think, let me think if this,

343
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: if I have this right, if it's three two Oklahoma City. Now,

344
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: because you're laying minus two seventy five, there's not gonna

345
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: be a real like hedge opportunity. You're just gonna have

346
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: to write with it. But and if you, I mean,

347
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: if you think Okayc's gonna roll, you can get Okay,

348
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: see minus two and a half games at like plus

349
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: money or even money. But I think, to me, this field,

350
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: here's how I think the beats of this series are

351
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: going to go. Demonse, I think it is going to

352
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: be Game one Oklahoma City and mark this. Let's see,

353
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: I've gotten a lot wrong in these playoffs. My pre

354
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: playoff bracket is a travesty, like a true travesty. I

355
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: had Oklahoma City losing in Round one. I might have

356
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: had Indiana losing because I'm sorry, I didn't have Oklahoma

357
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: City losing in round I had Oklahoma City losing to

358
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers. But the team I had winning the championship

359
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers. They lost in round one. That's what I meant.

360
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: So my champion lost in round one. And I was

361
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: so confident that the Cavs would beat the Pacers or

362
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: the Bucks. I might have picked the Buck just because

363
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to root for Giannis like so I might

364
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: have had the Pacers out in round one. So my

365
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: bracket's a disaster. So I need to get something right here.

366
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm going for. And this is another one.

367
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: I I bet, I bet this bet exists. I didn't

368
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: even look exact series, game by game result. Oh my goodness,

369
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: So producers, see if our friends, uh are friends at

370
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: DraftKings have that? Now I know. I think we have

371
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: to put a little thing on the screen because I

372
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: said DraftKings. But see see if see if they have

373
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the exact series, game by game rules or a game

374
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: how how the game is gonna go? Game one? Okay?

375
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: See game two? Okay? See game three? Pacers? Game four? Oh?

376
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: Are we gonna have a series? Is it gonna be two? Two?

377
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be the best a three? No? Game four? Okay?

378
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: See okc Ooh, this is a tough one because they

379
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: haven't lost, they've been so dominant at home. You know what,

380
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: give the okac takes their eye off the ball a

381
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: bit Game five, Indiana Game six, Oka.

382
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: See.

383
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: I like that, and I also like exactly what I

384
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: just laid out, with the Thunder winning in five, those

385
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: would be the two series exactas that I would be

386
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: interested in. All right, let's keep going, Demnsey.

387
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: Which team do you think? Ohs Paul George a bigger

388
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: thank you?

389
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: Well, here's what I think I feel for Paul George

390
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: these next couple of weeks, because that is going to

391
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: be a very common discussion point, which is, the Pacers

392
00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: had Paul George, they then traded him to Oklahoma City

393
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: for Ola Depot and Sabonis. Sabonis is then who they

394
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: traded for Tyrese Halibert. Oklahoma City then traded Paul George

395
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: to the Clippers for a bunch of stuff, but primarily

396
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: Shay and the draft pick that became Jalen Williams. So

397
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: that is that is the that is the reality of

398
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: how these two teams were built. I would, however, like

399
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: to defend Paul George also in this regard. When it's

400
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: not an a popular it's not a popular stance. To

401
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: have right now. So Paul George had a pretty awesome

402
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: beginning of his career. He was deep in the in

403
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: UH the postseason repeatedly in one of the forgotten series

404
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: of our lives. That Pacers team took peak Lebron heat

405
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: seven in the conference finals one year, and Paul George

406
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: went from as a rookie eight points a game, second

407
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: year twelve points a game, third year seventeen points a game,

408
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: fourth year twenty two points a game. In year three

409
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: he was All NBA Third Team, he was the most

410
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: improved player. In year four, he was All NBA third Team.

411
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: He finished top ten MVP and Defensive Player of the Year,

412
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: and he was All Defensive Team first team. And in

413
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: that summer he suffered one of the most horrific league

414
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: injuries ever. It's just what happened at the Olympics, like

415
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: practicing for the Olympics or whatever. It is, a compound

416
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: fracture hitting the stanchion, just awful. And he's still, by

417
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: the way, not only came back from that, but five

418
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: years later another kind of forgotten season in the year

419
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: before the Clippers traded for him. Demand here is how

420
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: the MVP voting went that year. Yannis won Hardened two

421
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: Paul George three. He was third in MVP voting in

422
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City that same year. Here's how Defensive Player of

423
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: the Year voting went. Go Bear one, Yanna's two, Paul

424
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: George three. So he came back from the leg injury

425
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: and five years later at the best year of his career,

426
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: and then that summer got traded to the Clippers. Now

427
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: he has never been post leg injury, in particular a

428
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: great playoff performer. His best playoff runs came as a

429
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: kid in Indianapolis. I understand all of that. And he

430
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: has some tough quotes, like the Dame Lillard series winner.

431
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't care what you say. That's a

432
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: bad shot.

433
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: And he's you know, he's not wrong there. It's a

434
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 3: bad shot.

435
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's not you know, he's a

436
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: little bit of a sort. I don't want to call

437
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: him a sore loser for that, But that's a bad shot.

438
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it's Damian lillardy. It's those But

439
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: like if you look at good shots on the shoe,

440
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: here's the thing, it's.

441
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: All that all that sounds good. He's just like you

442
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: just can't say you can't. You just can't like and so,

443
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: and then you know, damn near a decade later, another

444
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: off quote when he's like, listen, I have an announcement

445
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: to make. I'm shutting down the podcast to focus on

446
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: a championship. And then the Sixers just disaster. And I

447
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to him this year. I mean

448
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: he yeah, he was twenty three or twenty four a

449
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: game for the last four years, went to Philly and

450
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: was sixteen A game was terrible. And so again a little,

451
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: just minor defense of Paul George because he's gonna be

452
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: the butt of a lot of jokes or unintentional jokes

453
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: this week. Uh, all right, ask me about TV ratings, please?

454
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 2: Do you think the fans should care about the TV ratings?

455
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: You know, these aren't big names.

456
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, it's not.

457
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: Big big cities, big cities.

458
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, I this is a very odd phenomenon

459
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: that is a social media thing, which is people like

460
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's concern trolling, but like, oh man,

461
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: Adam Silver's gotta be upset like all these things about ratings,

462
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know how it affects anyone's individual life.

463
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: That's not a television or an ad executive. Here's the

464
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: other thing for the NBA. Of all the finals that

465
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: we're going to have demons for the rest of our lives,

466
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: this is probably the one where the TV rating matters

467
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: the least to the league because they just signed a

468
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: decade long television deal. So like there the ratings, the

469
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: ratings matter for leagues because it's part of the negotiation process.

470
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: They're not going to be in negotiation for years and

471
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: years and years, and so if there was ever a

472
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: year to have a couple small markets in the finals,

473
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: it would be this year. And here would be the

474
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: argument as to why this finals could be good for

475
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: the league, other than the fact I think the basketball.

476
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: If the Pacers can be competitive, the basketball should be

477
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: really good. It forces the casual fan to get to

478
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: know Shay and Halliburton, and Shaye and Halliburton each have

479
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: a ten plus year runway moving forward as opposed to

480
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: some of the older guys, so I don't I'm not

481
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: as concerned about that as I think maybe some other

482
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: people are. All right, NBA Finals here last chance to

517
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: finals game was Giannis and the Clincher in twenty twenty one,

518
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: and I think the last one before that was Lebron

519
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: Game one of twenty eighteen. There haven't been that many

520
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: fifty point finals games. Uh so, yeah, that would be

521
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: that would be Oh.

522
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: So this is a seven total in history.

525
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: how fun it is for the audience for me to

526
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: try to like go back and do it. That's not

527
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: what we're doing a finals preview. All right, let's go.

528
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: Let's focus in on the thunder and Shay.

529
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the way that you've been talking about Okay, see,

530
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: you have thought the final has been over for a while.

531
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: Now they've got one more round. Still got to play

532
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 2: some good basketball. But for Oklahoma City, who do you

533
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: think has the most to gain the most to lose

534
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: in this series.

535
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: Most of the games unequivocally, without a doubt, Shay, I

536
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: mean Shae. Shae can argue. I won't necessarily agree with it,

537
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: but Shae and his fans certainly could argue he holds

538
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: the belt if they win that it not only because

539
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 1: he's would be the league MVP. The finals MVP, there

540
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: were a sixty eight win team scoring champ, but also

541
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: I played the guy who has the belt and Joker

542
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: and my team won and I played, they could argue

543
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: played better than him. I don't actually think I agree

544
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: that in that series Shay was better than Joker. I

545
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: know Joker had a couple kind of uncharacteristic games. I

546
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: still think Joker was the most impactful guy in that series,

547
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: but it certainly would be a fair take to say

548
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: if they win, to say Shay's the best player. It's again,

549
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: it's not the take I would have, but you'd have

550
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: to at least respect it. It also would be Bru

551
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this off the air, and

552
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: I know Simmons has talked a lot about this. It

553
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: also would be an all time Guard season, So like,

554
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: if you remove Michael and Magic, what Guard would have

555
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: had a better season than the one Shay is having

556
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: right now. I think if they win the title, I

557
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: think folks reflexively, I know I reflexively was like, well,

558
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: all right, Michael had a bunch, Magic had at least

559
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: a couple, and then of course Stest. Here's the problem.

560
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Steph's best season by far. They lost the Chimp. They

561
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: lost the finals, So the Steph's years get kind of

562
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: fuzzy in our memory. But Steph's best year and one

563
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: of the greatest years any player has ever had, when

564
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: he scored thirty a game on I mean fifty forty

565
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: five ninety splits. They lost to Lebron his other MVP year, Demons,

566
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on the spot here, give me

567
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: a guess how many points and assists Steph averaged his

568
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: first MVP season.

569
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 3: Thirty one and nine, twenty four and eight.

570
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: Oh jesus, no that, But that's not us, because he did.

571
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: He averaged thirty two later, and he averaged thirty the

572
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: next year. So that's the point that I that I

573
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: was making. That year, the team was unbelievable, and obviously

574
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: he was great, but that's not like an all time

575
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: individual season. The next year was the all time individual season.

576
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: And then the year he had a year when he

577
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: won the scoring title when they weren't that good in

578
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and they missed the playoffs like that,

579
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: you know, So there's the his best year. They didn't

580
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: win the title. And then people are gonna say, well,

581
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Kobe did, did Kobe have a better year than this

582
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: Shay year? Because here's the thing, Kobe, and this is

583
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: another one. People are gonna say this is true, but

584
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: it is. Kobe averaged thirty a game three times in

585
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: his career, and amazingly, none of the three did they

586
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: win the championship, And in fact, two of the three,

587
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: they didn't win a round of the playoffs, so he

588
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: averaged thirty a game. The year they were going for

589
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: the three peat, and that year they lost in did

590
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: they lose in round two? Yeah, they lost in round

591
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: two to San Antonio. I'm sorry. Not the year they're

592
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: going for the three peat. They already had the three peat, obviously,

593
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: the year they're going for the four pat and then

594
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: his two insane scoring years thirty five a game and

595
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: thirty two a game. They lost in round one both years.

596
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: Both years that Laker team lost in round one, one

597
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: year blowing a three to one leading round one. So

598
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: those years are off the board. The next year, the

599
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: year they got Pale, he won MVP. He averaged twenty

600
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: eight six and five, and the Lakers that year won

601
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: fifty seven games. It's hard to argue that year was

602
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: better than this year by Shay D. Wade obviously never

603
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: won an MVP. Isaiah Thomas, as great as he was,

604
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: never won an MVP. Steve Nash won a couple, never

605
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: made a finals. So there is and I don't want

606
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: to do West and Koozie right now, but even West

607
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: let me check, because poor Jerry West, I mean Jerry West,

608
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: was one and nine in the finals, and the one

609
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: year he won the championship he was not even close

610
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: to his best individual season. Still pretty great. By the way, again,

611
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't do people want me to do a Jerry

612
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: West thing. Okay, I'll do it real quick. Jerry West again,

613
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: one to nine in the finals. And if that's not enough,

614
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: here's Jerry West's MVP finishes fifth, fifth, fifth, third, second,

615
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: didn't didn't quality, didn't get won for three years in

616
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: a row, second, second, second. He finished second in MVP

617
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: voting three straight years while losing the finals like every year.

618
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 3: Just pretty voter voter fatigue must not existed at that time.

619
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: No, Wilton Russell won, all of them, kept trading on.

620
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: I feel like, once those guys are in second for

621
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: a long time or get those second and third spots,

622
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: it comes a year and they're like, all right, we're

623
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: just gonna give it to him.

624
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

625
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and listen now, Jerry West did win finals

626
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: MVP the first year they ever gave it out when

627
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: they didn't win, when his team lost the finals, something

628
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: but no during West demons, during West prime. Here's the

629
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:26,479
Speaker 1: here's the MVPs. Will Russell, Russell, Russell Oscar, Russell, Will

630
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Will Will and then unseld Reid Kareem Kareem. It was

631
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: a big man's award. Oscar won it, but it was

632
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: a big man's award again. So Jerry West, like, maybe

633
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: point is this, if they win the championship, you can

634
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: make the argument that only Magic and Michael as Guards

635
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: ever had a better single season than Shay had this year.

636
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty remarkable. And for Okay, see, I don't really

637
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't really think there's too many guys that have

638
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 1: a ton to lose, except let me all add this this.

639
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: What'd you say, Jaylen Williams, don't you think it's probably

640
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: it's really important for him to perform in these finals.

641
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 3: Right, I think out of all the guys outside of Shade.

642
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you think do you think any show

643
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: like anybody's gonna kill Jalen Williams if he doesn't like

644
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: I just don't. He's in that Goldilock zone that we've

645
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: talked about of good enough to where he's gonna make

646
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: a ton of money, but not so good to where

647
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: he gets super scrutinized. Maybe though I think he's like

648
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: the X factor, super important. I just don't think he's

649
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: got you know, people are gonna kill him. I'll add

650
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:56,919
Speaker 1: one other person as far as who this person has

651
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: the most anxiety right now, that's my that's the way

652
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: to put it for Okay, see, and that's Sam Presty.

653
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: So Sam Presty took over the Thunder when they were

654
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: still in Seattle, Okay, and he draft like he took

655
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: over right after the draft, right before he took over

656
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: right or like the week they drafted Durant. I don't

657
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: the I don't know, yeah, no, he he drafted Durant.

658
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: Now that was a no brainer once Odin went one,

659
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: Like whoever whoever didn't go one was gonna go to

660
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: in the Odin Durant draft. But set that outside Westbrook

661
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: was not a no brainer. Pick Harden was not a

662
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: no brainer. Pick a Baca was not a no brainer pick.

663
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: He just crushed, absolutely crushed after coming from the Spurs,

664
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: and they are just set up that it's gonna be

665
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 1: the you know, the Thunder out West for a generation.

666
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: And they made the finals in twenty twelve and have

667
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: not been back since and hardened they He then trades

668
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: Harden probably not probably definitely his worst UH transaction as

669
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: an executive. My guy Daryl got over on him and

670
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: just been building, building, building, getting trying to get back

671
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: to this moment. He knows as well as anyone that

672
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: there these moments can be fleeting and you've got to

673
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: take advantage. By the way, if you want to know

674
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: more about Sam Presty, I don't even know if you

675
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: know this, Demanse, but you know who wrote a book

676
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: that Sam Presty is a central character of who Danny Parkins.

677
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: Oh, that's what's it is that game Pipeline to the pros,

678
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 2: Pipeline to the pros.

679
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, pipeline to the pros about you know, Division three,

680
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: pipeline to NBA gm uh. That's a great book. People

681
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: can get it on Amazon or wherever you get your books.

682
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: Free plug for Danny's book. All right, let's go to

683
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: Halliburton and the Pacers.

684
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 3: Sneaky the coach. He probably has the most pressure on him. Huh.

685
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 3: Like for okay, I said Jalen Williams.

686
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: I'd say the coach over Jaylen Williams, just because I mean,

687
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 2: everybody's expecting you to roll the Pacers right now.

688
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: You have this good team. If you lose in the finals,

689
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 3: that you know what nobody.

690
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: Nobody sees that that that that's fair.

691
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: I I just don't think daggon Old's not like a

692
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: celebrity coach, and so for maybe I'm just looking at

693
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: this more from the prism of what we'll talk about

694
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: on our shows, and I just don't think we're gonna

695
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna see a topic bar Yeah, yeah,

696
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: Daggonault to blame fair. All right, Let's go to Halliburton

697
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: and the Pacers.

698
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: So nobody thought Indy would be here. You know, everybody's

699
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 2: calling Halliburton overrated. Uh, but they are here. Everybody's you know,

700
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: looking to write them off, such as yourself. Is there

701
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 2: any chance that we're missing something here?

702
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: Though?

703
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like if the Pacers go out

704
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: and win the first game, this flips the whole thing

705
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: on its head.

706
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. What do we think if they're if

707
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: they're plus five hundred right now to win, if they

708
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: win game one, I still think they're like plus two hundred.

709
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't like it make the I mean they could listen,

710
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: the Pacers have this year in the playoffs. They are

711
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: one and oh in game or three and oh in

712
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: game ones, three and oh in game two's oh and

713
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: three in game threes, four and oh or three and

714
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 1: oh in game four, and then two and one in

715
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: game fives, and they've played one game six. I I'm

716
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: not trying to write them off, even though I want

717
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: to pay them their proper respect. And let me say this,

718
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: the Pacers are following a formula that we have seen

719
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: champions as of late follow where a clear cut identity,

720
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: a deep team, two all stars rather than three, and

721
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: have been building to this moment. And you can't call

722
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: it a fluke because they made the conference finals last year.

723
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: I just think, like, let's say, sorry, Daniel earmuffs lou

724
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: Dort doesn't hit three straight threes in Game five against

725
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: Denver and den clips the thunder. And then the Western

726
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: Amage Finals was Denver and Minnesota. Against either one of

727
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,479
Speaker 1: those teams, I might pick Indiana given what I've seen

728
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: from Indiana. It's and that's also I said this on

729
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: TV and it sounds dumb, but I think it's true. Like,

730
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: is the only thing standing between Anthony Edwards and being

731
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,479
Speaker 1: face of the league lou Dort catching fire from three

732
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: in a game he wasn't playing in because Minnesota really

733
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: gave Denver trouble the last couple of years and like

734
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: all of it. But so I mean, which is also

735
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 1: why some of these narratives we do are a little silly.

736
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 1: But whatever, it is, what it is. So the point

737
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: that I am trying to make is I don't want

738
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: to be disrespectful of the Pacers. I just think that

739
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: they are running up against a team that they're not

740
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of answers for. Maybe, I mean maybe,

741
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: but they're there. Another way to look at it is

742
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: they're just been the best team a year. They're gonna

743
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: win the championship. This is another way. You know, who's

744
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 1: taking credit by the way, for knowing, Okay, C was

745
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: gonna win the championship. He'll love this. Your mother, what.

746
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 3: How is she even spinning that? What do you mean?

747
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: Because we saw them the day after Thanksgiving in LA

748
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: and she is claiming that she told me that I

749
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: should go on TV the next day and say that

750
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: I think they're the best team and they're gonna win

751
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: the title. If she did say that, I you know,

752
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: I think what I would have said as well, they

753
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: do have the best record, you know what I mean?

754
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: Like that won't like be a unique take, but she's

755
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: she is saying that she saw Thanksgiving though it's Giving,

756
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: and that she was like, oh, yeah, they're the best team.

757
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: And now she's also saying she's like, remember that used

758
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: to be my team because Durant, Yeah, she loved him.

759
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: So she's like claiming a little okay see fandom case.

760
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 3: Nicks, Rockets Lakers, She's.

761
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: Got a lot of she got a lot of as

762
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: wild as say chips on the roulette wheel. All right,

763
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: go ahead and ask before we get the finals MVP.

764
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 2: So in a couple of games that Halliburton's played against, okay, see,

765
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 2: this year, he averaged eleven three and five and a half.

766
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 3: What do you expecting out of him this year?

767
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: He's gotta be he's got to basically double those averages. Yeah,

768
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: And I mean that's the okay see, just has so

769
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: many guys they can throw out at Halliburton and disrupt him,

770
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try to not let them get out

771
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: and run. It's just it's a tough matchup for everybody.

772
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: They're just a tough matchup for everybody. And I here's

773
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: what I do wonder. I wonder if some people are

774
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: going to wish they had a little bit of their

775
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: harsh Anthony Edwards criticism back if Halliburton struggles, Yeah, you

776
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like what if Okac? This is

777
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: just what they do to opposing guards in particular. All right,

778
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 1: let's talk the award he didn't win, which is Conference

779
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: Finals MVP.

780
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Pascal Siaka won that award, and it seemed

781
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: like Haliburton might have thought that he was winning it

782
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 2: with his mannerisms and stuff before it for going up there.

783
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 3: What about yourself? Do you think that he should have

784
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: won it? Do you think Pascal rightfully won?

785
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was fine. I think that if it's close,

786
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: the best players should get it. I also, you know,

787
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: last last show, I vehemently dis agreed with Simmons leaving

788
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: Lebron off his top fifteen players. I will give Simmons

789
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: credit for this idea. I like the idea of if

790
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna have these conference MVPs things, the Larry birdon

791
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: the Magic Johnson Award, have it be Eastern Conference Playoffs

792
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: MVP and Western Conference Playoffs MVP. That way, it's not

793
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: just that series, it's like those six weeks. I think

794
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 1: that's a cooler idea, and it also probably would open

795
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: it up to where theoretically, like like two years ago

796
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: or three years ago, when Luca carried the MAVs to

797
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: the conference finals, they lost to the Warriors, Like maybe

798
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: he could you know, he could win win that award,

799
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: Like you wouldn't have to necessarily be from the winning team.

800
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Halliburton thing though, because

801
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Okay, do you remember

802
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: when you your junior year at the basketball banquet when

803
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: you got team MVP.

804
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, at what point?

805
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: So going into that night, did you know you were

806
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: like had anyone told you you you would want it? No?

807
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 3: Definitely don't remember anybody telling me.

808
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think I had like the thought of

809
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 2: winning it, to be honest, I didn't, don't.

810
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's okay. So when they started describing the

811
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 1: player who was gonna win it, did you at any like,

812
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you were paying attention. I

813
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember this as well as I do,

814
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,959
Speaker 1: Like what I don't?

815
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 3: I ad No, I want to hear.

816
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: No, you I do.

817
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 3: I was just trying to think and I just wasn't

818
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 3: trying to be vain, but I do.

819
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: I do think for majority of like junior year into

820
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 2: the like my senior year into high school basketball. I

821
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: figured that I was the best player on the team.

822
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: So I'm just trying to like imagine how like I

823
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: would have been think of it thinking of it there,

824
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I don't don't think that.

825
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: I So I remember them describing like the because I

826
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: was nervous on your behalf because I'm like, ah, he's

827
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: a junior. I wonder if they're going to just give

828
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: it to a senior. But then your coach said, he

829
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: led us in points, rebounds, black, you led the team

830
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: and everything but assists, and so he was listing, and

831
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: so it was like, oh, it's they're giving it to

832
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: demandset because I knew you had led the team and everything.

833
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: I my when I played high school basketball, I did

834
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: not lead the team in anything. And at the awards banquet,

835
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: they were announcing an award for like leadership, hustle, toughness,

836
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: and they were describing exactly what I provided to the Yeah,

837
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: and right before they announced it, I pulled a Halliburton

838
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: because it was not me.

839
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 3: Wait, how did you pull you tap your chest?

840
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: You know we weren't at it. I stood up to

841
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 1: walk up to get the award and it wasn't me,

842
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: and I had to pretend that I was standing up

843
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: to like.

844
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 3: To collect who got it? Yeah, I did that.

845
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: Couldn't Team MVP. I couldn't even get mister Hustle.

846
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean, describe your practices and how you went about it.

847
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 2: It seemed like that award. Yeah, I mean it up

848
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 2: and stuff you think about it.

849
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: I got snubbed, all right, guys. So you know what

850
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot lately, uh and seeing all

851
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,560

876
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: I probably as my anecdote of when I use seat geek.

877
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: I probably should have talked about the Knicks playoff games

878
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: I went to. But more recently, I literally just this

879

00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: all the time. It's why I love having DraftKings as

898
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: one of our premier sponsors. You guys know I use

899
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: them all the time. And I my lifetime spend on

900
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: seat Geek. You know how some people show like their

901
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: lifetime spin on Amazon. My lifetime spin on seat Geek

902
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: has to be insane. Just because I go to a

903
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: ton of games, I go to a ton of Broadway shows,

904
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: which I love. Don't care if you guys make fun

905
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: of me. I love the Broadway shows. Make fun of

906
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: They're awesome and it's the to me, uh, the best

907
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: and clearly the easiest and most intuitive way to get tickets.

908
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, demanse, let's talk future offseason stuff.

909
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 3: You would not go to Broadway shows without your daughters.

910
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, that is true. So here's the thing.

911
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: I would not have been exposed to them without them,

912
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: but I love them.

913
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I get right.

914
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. I wouldn't have I when I moved

915
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: to New York, I thought seems ridiculous, and now it

916
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: is absolutely my favorite things to do. It's like it

917
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: all right, people are gonna make fun of me. I

918
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: honestly don't care. It's like having courtside seats to an

919
00:59:55,600 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: NBA game. In this regard, you are, you know, a

920
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: few feet away from the best in the world at

921
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: what they do, and it's a skill set that I

922
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: can't imagine having. We went and saw Gypsy about a

923
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: month ago. I mean that Audra McDonald I think is

924
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: her name, her singing it was. It was as alien

925
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: to me from what I could do as watching the

926
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: Saquon backwards hurdle. It's like you're a different like you

927
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: and so no, I think I think right, and so

928
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: I I think it's great. All right, let's talk Nicks.

929
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: So the Knicks couldn't even up the series. So now

930
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 2: they're headed a cantcun What do you think New York

931
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 2: should do? What should they make any moves? Letten say,

932
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: people want to come at cat.

933
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: If they just run it back. I think that's totally reasonable.

934
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: Run it back and be like, hey, during the regular season, Tibbs,

935
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: let's play the bench a little more, not for the

936
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: reason everyone always says, which is because guys are exhausted,

937
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: but so you can have more real tests of what lineups.

938
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Oh sham, it's better than pain. Oh we like this

939
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: five man unit. That's useful. So like Tibbs, can you

940
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: adjust there? Because Tibbs has hit this hard ceiling of

941
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: the conference finals multiple times in his career. Now there's

942
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: one bruns it ay Man, Well, everyone's been focused on

943
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: Luca's diet. It might be that of the all the

944
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: players on the twenty twenty two Dallas Mavericks, you were

945
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: the biggest defensive liability, like moving forward, like, hey, the

946
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I know that and Brunson's awesome. He's awesome. He's a

947
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: great player, legitimate superstar. But Game four for him was

948
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: really rough on that side of the ball, and it

949
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: was the biggest game of their season. So like, can

950
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: you get a little bit better there? Kat, Can you

951
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: watch the film from your Game three fourth quarter again

952
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: and again and again and try to activate that more?

953
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: If that, you know, McHale's just got to be a

954
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: little better throughout the year. Josh Hart just just be

955
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: passable from three. Mitchell Robinson nothing but free throws all

956
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: summer like those you do those things with the Celtic Sorry,

957
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: kind of off the chessboard. The East is wide open.

958
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: That would be reasonable, I opt.

959
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 3: Now.

960
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: As far as transactions, obviously, if you can get Yannis,

961
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: you get Yannis. I do not think they have the

962
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: best package to offer, so I think that would be tough. Now,

963
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: maybe if he demands only New York, maybe Milwaukee will accommodate.

964
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's talk about the Durant thing demonse,

965
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: because I do think if you traded Cat for Durant,

966
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: if you offered that, the Sons would say yes. Now,

967
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Durant is six years older, and that shortens your window considerably. However,

968
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 1: the argument for it would be twofold one is it

969
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,840
Speaker 1: is a back door out of what is going to

970
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: be a really tricky Cat contract situation because Cat's got

971
01:03:53,560 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: three years left at fifty three fifty seven six. I

972
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you love that. Is he extension eligible?

973
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: Let me look, no, hold on, sorry, I want to

974
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: check that, because that's the other thing. If it's like, hey,

975
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: and I also, yeah, he is extension eligible. So it's

976
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: like you owe him sixty one and three years, and

977
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: he might be like, and I'd like two more years.

978
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: On the back end, it's sixty three and sixty five.

979
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Like that's that might be untenable. But the other reason

980
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: you would do it is if you think Mitchell Robinson

981
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: can play thirty minutes a game, and you think Durant

982
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: would just add another layer to your offense, and and

983
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: here's the critical piece, you think next year has massive

984
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: additional value compared to other future years because of the

985
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Celtic situation. I might do it. You would still you

986
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: would get better defensively better. I don't even know if

987
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: you can say he'd be better shooting because Cat's such

988
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: a great three point shooter. But better for mid range. Yeah,

989
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like the I don't actually think Durant's a

990
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: better three point shooter than Cat, like by the numbers

991
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: and by the volume, but better three level. I I

992
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: normally would let me check Kat's exact birthday.

993
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was about to say where we rank Katie's

994
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 2: defense with Cats. I mean, I know Katie isn't known

995
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 2: for his defense, but the way I see Cat moved around,

996
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: sometimes Katie can get up and down the court faster

997
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 2: than that.

998
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Katie's a much better Yeah.

999
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 3: I was about to say, like.

1000
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: I said, six years older, it's actually seven years older.

1001
01:05:55,120 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: That's the Karl Anthony Towns turns thirty at the beginning

1002
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: of next season. Katie turns thirty seven at the beginning

1003
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: of next season. So that typically is not a move

1004
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: you want to make. But I guess here how I

1005
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: would look at it if they made that trade, demanse,

1006
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: I think for next year, I'd say the Knicks are

1007
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the favorites in the East, and now I think KD

1008
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: might end up in Minnesota. I think there's real smoke there,

1009
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: but the East is so open, and I do think

1010
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: for a playoff run, even though we haven't seen Durant

1011
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: on a long playoff run in a very long time.

1012
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: I think Durant makes you a little bit better. Like,

1013
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: do you think that's crazy?

1014
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 2: No, I think that that makes a lot of sense.

1015
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 2: I think Durant should probably go to the go to

1016
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 2: New York as opposed to the East too, just to

1017
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:02,919
Speaker 2: get the best possible chance the supposed to the West. Yeah,

1018
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 2: just to get another chip. But I mean still end

1019
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 2: up having to face those guys either way.

1020
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 3: But yeah, I like it. I think they should do it.

1021
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 3: It's a no brainer to me.

1022
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: I feel like it's got to at least be kicked around.

1023
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: That's the way. That's the way I look at it.

1024
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: All right, Reminder everyone like rate, subscribe, review, do all that.

1025
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Let's let's jump down to some listener questions and then

1026
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: I can talk a little World Series of Poker if

1027
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: we have time. But let's do again. If you're watching

1028
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: on YouTube, we greatly appreciate it. If you're listening on

1029
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the pod, oh, we greatly appreciate it. But either way,

1030
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: please subscribe to the channel, Please subscribe to the pod.

1031
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 3: All of that.

1032
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: It really does help us out quite a bit, all right,

1033
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: go ahead.

1034
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 2: Demnseley, Bobby says, the twenty four Celtics against the twenty

1035
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 2: twenty five Thunder in a seven game series, who would win?

1036
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: I think it's tough. I think that's very close. If

1037
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 1: you are getting seven healthy games out of Porzingis, I

1038
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 1: would go boss. Yeah. If Porzingis is the way he

1039
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 1: was forget this postseason, even last postseason, where you know

1040
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,679
Speaker 1: he was injured, then I that to me would tilt

1041
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: it to the Thunder. Does that seem fair?

1042
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, that's so unfortunate.

1043
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I to me that that that's what

1044
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: I That's where I land on it, all right.

1045
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 2: Next Ryan, are the Pacers title hopes riding on game

1046
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 2: on a game one win?

1047
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I mean you could.

1048
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Well. I let me put it like this again. You

1049
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: guys know how thin I think the Pacers are drawing

1050
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: in this. They have to win one of the first two.

1051
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: You can't go down two. Oh even though ah, the

1052
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: series wouldn't have started a home team had lost it.

1053
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: You gotta win one of the first two.

1054
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 2: Next Ohen Michael says, going into the twenty twenty four

1055
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 2: NFL season, I think there was I think there was

1056
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 2: a consistent consensus understanding that the AFC was better than

1057
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 2: the NFC. You think that that still holds.

1058
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: No, What I think is the quarterbacks in the AFC

1059
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: are way better than the quarterbacks in the NFC. But

1060
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: because of that, because the NFC quarterbacks are not as

1061
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: highly paid you are, you've been able to develop more

1062
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: well rounded teams. And you know the team right now

1063
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 1: last year that was you know, it gets to call

1064
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 1: themselves the best teams in the NFC. And the Lions

1065
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: were excellent too. Now the Lions I'm a little worried

1066
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: about and the Frank ragnow retirements not nothing, But no,

1067
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: I think it's far closer than it was. Let's keep going.

1068
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 3: Owen says love from Canada.

1069
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 2: Do you think SGA passes Steve Nash is the greatest

1070
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 2: Canadian player ever with a title win?

1071
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 3: Yes? I think he does.

1072
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: I think one MVP and one title and I think

1073
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: this year from SGA was better than any individual Steve

1074
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Nash year. Yeah, I think he does pass him as

1075
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: the best Canadian player ever.

1076
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 2: Next, Luis says, hey, Nick, since the NBA season is ending,

1077
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,879
Speaker 2: is there any plan to cover summer sports WNBA Cycling,

1078
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 2: Tour de France, F one tennis until September and the

1079
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 2: NFL comes back.

1080
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: So we'll definitely cover some WNBA will definitely cover tennis,

1081
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 1: you know that. And I have a confession. You know

1082
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: what I did this Sunday. I watched IndyCar in the

1083
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: Detroit Grand Prix because ever since I went to the

1084
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: Indy five hundred, I kind of gotten into open wheel

1085
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: racing a bit, and so I am now considering going

1086
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: back and watching that F one series on Netflix that

1087
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I was so skeptical of, and US is really back

1088
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 1: the F one minute and doing all that. So maybe

1089
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: I'll get into F one because I thought the I

1090
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: thought the Indie Car stuff was really really cool. But

1091
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: we'll also have NBA Free Agency, the NBA Draft. We'll

1092
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,799
Speaker 1: have a bunch of cool stuff, all right, Last.

1093
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 2: One Producers, but really, Gabe thoughts on the new Mission Impossible.

1094
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: I have a shameful confession. I haven't seen it yet.

1095
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 3: Now.

1096
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: Part of that is I've been incredibly busy, and part

1097
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: of that is I haven't been ready to say goodbye

1098
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: to the greatest movie franchise ever. And so no spoilers, please.

1099
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 3: I've not seen an the Mission Impossibles.

1100
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 1: It's such a bad job by your job by you.

1101
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's the greatest movie series ever. It's just

1102
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: so good. All right, I am heading to work and

1103
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm going on a plane. I'm going to Vegas for

1104
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the World Series of Poker this time tomorrow, well not

1105
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: this time, but tomorrow afternoon. I will be in the

1106
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars Dealer's Choice. And this is what I'm

1107
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: gonna say. And I'll try to I am not really

1108
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 1: on Instagram munch. I'll try to update people via Instagram stories.

1109
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: Is that what I do? Reels, stories, stories. I oddly

1110
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: have a really good feeling. The last time I had

1111
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: this kind of weird confidence going into a poker setting

1112
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: was when I went to play Helm Youth heads up

1113
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: for fifty thousand. Now I did lose that, but I

1114
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: played great for the better part of two hours, had

1115
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: a ninety minute lapse of concentration, and then clawed my

1116
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: way back to where I was in a great position

1117
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: to potentially win and got very very unlucky. But that's poker.

1118
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I just feel good about how these next

1119
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: five days are gonna go. So I'll keep you guys updated.

1120
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to say too

1121
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 1: much and obviously maybe I'm just gonna you know, below

1122
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: Demonte's inheritance. It's always on the board like Demante, I

1123
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: always is. Demante checks in on me more when I'm

1124
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 1: in Vegas than anywhere else. And part of that is

1125
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: because he's, you know, looking out for me. But the

1126
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: other part of that is he understands. I mean the

1127
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm not the only the I mean, he checks in

1128
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: but you tell.

1129
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 3: Me you well, yeah, I mean I just know you're

1130
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 3: you're out there alone.

1131
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 2: You know, gotcha money in your pocket, and then you

1132
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 2: don't got your money in your pocket.

1133
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 3: I'm just checking it.

1134
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: I know, I get it. And event and the way

1135
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 1: this works is eventually all the literal or metaphorical money

1136
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 1: in my pocket, one third of that is to month.

1137
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: So like there's there's a he's looking out for me,

1138
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: but trust is all right, Everything's fine. So I'll keep

1139
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: everybody posted.
