1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Thursday,

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: April first. Happy April Fools Day, everybody. That's the day

4
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: that you do not want to be on social media.

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to get punked or clowned or retweet

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: or re instagram or whatever that's called. Um some some

7
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: fake news. Everybody's out there like trying to catch people

8
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: with stupidity. Great day, today is a great day to

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: be off the internet and not waste time sitting on

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: the internet. I will say this much. Today it's gonna

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: be another beautiful day. In southern California. It touched seventy nine.

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: I think on Wednesday I played basketball for ninety minutes.

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: It was outstanding. Today it's supposed to be a high

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: of eighty one. So yes, I will be outside, away

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: from my phone, not on social media. Ain't nothing going on. However,

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: I do want to start the show here. Okay, I've

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: gotten great feedback on the interviews this week. You guys

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: like the Lakers talk. Okay, you really like the forty

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: Niners talk. NFL Draft. To start and get excited, I

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: posted my latest mock draft for Fox Sports got a

21
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: lot of pushback. I'm not going to dive into it

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: right now. I just feel like I need to address

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: the elephant in the room because a lot of people

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: won't and shouldn't. I'm gonna do it anyway, and that's

25
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. And right now, Deshaun Watson is embroiled in.

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: I think the easiest word to sum it all up

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: is a mess. That's what it is, Deshaun Watson. I don't.

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: I I just that's the best word for me to

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: sum up to Deshaun Watson scenario. And I know a

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: lot of people because a lot of people have asked

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: me about, hey, what do you think about Watson? And

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: you know you could read all you want. There isn't

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: a ton out there on it, simply because I think

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: a lot of journalists are reluctant to dive in now.

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: It did bubble up a little more on Wednesday because

36
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: Watson's lawyer finally responded after about a week of silence,

37
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: and so then the media was able to frame here's

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: the latest allegations against Watson, and then here's what watsons

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: lawyer says. And it's just I think the word mess

40
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: sums it up because two months ago, what was just

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson? He was a choir boy who was a

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: great high school football player who was awesome at Clemson,

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: want and natty, took Clemson to two national title games,

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: went to the Texans franchise guy. All of a sudden,

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: it gets ugly in the organization. They fired the coach

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: who's also the GM, and they traded Watson's boy DeAndre Hopkins,

47
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: and the team goes into a tailspin and Watson demands

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: out and he was set to get traded leading up

49
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: to the draft, less than a month to the draft,

50
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: and now within the last three weeks, it's like, WHOA,

51
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: what is this about? Twenty one? I'm gonna say about

52
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: because there may be more I don't know about twenty

53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: one women have not foul criminal suits, but civil lawsuits

54
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a k a. They would like to be paid because

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: they felt that Deshaun Watson crossed some lines, many lines

56
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: while they were giving him massages. And the biggest heads

57
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: up on this that just makes your head just be like,

58
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: what wait, what is that Deshaun Watson has had? I

59
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: don't know, in upwards of forty different women give him

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: massages in seemingly the last like three years. At this point,

61
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to address something. I get

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: massages pretty regularly. I get it from the same lady. Okay.

63
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: A buddy of mine who no longer lives in my area,

64
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: had said, hey, this this woman is incredible with massage,

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: so tough, and you know, I was like, well, that's great.

66
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: You know, this was like two years ago I had

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: I was leading up to a playing a dad's soccer tournament.

68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: We won the championship, and I was going hard, like

69
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: harder than my body normally a dawn. So I get

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: a massage on It was incredible. So I instantly recommend

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: to a friend. My wife went and got a massage.

72
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: My mom came in town said, Mom, you gotta get

73
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: a massage from this lady. Like she's an awesome missus.

74
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I won't go anywhere else for a massage. It's just

75
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: like you find one, you stick with it. It's like

76
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: a good barber, all right, you find a good barber,

77
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: you gotta clutch that barber. You can't let the guy

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: go he switches shops, you're moving shops. Because when you

79
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: find somebody who gets it, whether it's haircuts, massages, whatever,

80
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: you fall into a routine. I gotta go to the

81
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: massuse so I, you know, full confession, I probably get

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: a massage every three weeks and go to the same person.

83
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, I get the same appointment early before she's

84
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: you know, works on four or five people or whatever.

85
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: I was getting massages during the pandemic simply because I

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: was just working out at home and um running a lot,

87
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: and I was still getting in beside wore a mask,

88
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: you know whatever. She got the vaccine. I recently got

89
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: the vaccine, so I'm not worried about it. And it's

90
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: just it's a bit of a huh with Deshaun Watson

91
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: that he would use forty different women for massages. Now

92
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: twenty of them have come forward and said Deshaun Watson

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: was a class act. I gave massage, he didn't do

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: a damn thing, nothing untoward, whatever. And then there's twenty

95
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: other women who say, hey, he reached out to me

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: on Instagram and attempted some funny business and it was inappropriate.

97
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: And someone went and talked to Sports Illustrated, someone who

98
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: didn't file a criminal or civil suit. They just told

99
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: their side of the story. And you go read that.

100
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to dive into it. It's just it's

101
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: a weird one. But my problem is people want to

102
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: automatically say, all right, Deshaun Watson, he may not play

103
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: football next year, he might be out for the next

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: two years. He might go to jail. Like hold the phone.

105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything. Nobody literally knows anything Deshaun Watson. All

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: these women alleging that Watson did this inappropriate stuff and

107
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: cross lines and was unprofessional. They they have not given

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: their names. So Deshaun Watson like can't, his lawyers can't.

109
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: They don't even know who's alleging it. It's like, I mean,

110
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Watson has to have an idea, right he I mean,

111
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, I laughed like forty different women. Like maybe

112
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: he lost track of which ones, uh he reached out

113
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: to on Snapchat or Instagram or whatever it was. But

114
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: it's just it feels odd and I don't know. Maybe

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is guilty and ends up going to jail.

116
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: That's entirely possible. The range of outcomes here is massive.

117
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: He could go to jail, he could get suspended for

118
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: a year, he could be out of football forever. I

119
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: I really don't know what's gonna happen. There's also the

120
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: chance that nothing comes to this and Watson is cleared

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: and there is zero evidence, and Deshaun Watson has just

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: looked at as zoo. They maybe creepy guy who was

123
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: weird with a lot of masseuses. Um. The range of

124
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: outcomes is so wide that I can't go on my

125
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: radio show, this podcast TV right writing it. I can't

126
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: go out and say I think he's guilty, This is

127
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: not Is Baker may felt a good quarterback? Yes or no?

128
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: Here's my evidence. This is like a legal proceeding. Can't

129
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: we just wait for the legal process to play out.

130
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: I know people don't want that. We're in a society

131
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: where it's black or white. He is guilty or he's innocent. No,

132
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: there's no in between. People don't want the gray area.

133
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: That kind of annoys me. I feel like there's a

134
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: gray area right now with Watson. We may find out

135
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: next week he apologizes, he owns up to it, and

136
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Watson gets in deep trouble with the league and goes

137
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: to jail or uh or suspended, whatever the case. The

138
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: range of outcomes is so what. I don't feel comfortable

139
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: saying he's guilty or innocent. I I just I simply

140
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: don't know. And I just to sum it up. Sometimes

141
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to say I don't know, and

142
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: people just people who don't want to accept that, and

143
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: all these people on social media you just want to

144
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: want to nail the guy guilty. It's it's entirely possibly

145
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: is guilty. It's okay to also say, you know, we

146
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: just don't know. And I guess that this is not

147
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: a defense of Deshaun Watson. I'm not castigating him. This

148
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: story is ugly. We will get to the bottom of

149
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: this eventually. We will. It sounds like he ain't getting

150
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: traded anytime soon, that's for sure, and that's like on

151
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: the back burner because of all these legal issues. So

152
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get this out there. Just have

153
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: some patience with Deshaun Watson in this story. It will

154
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: play out, the legal process will solve itself, all right,

160
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: Verse King Kong. I gotta say, I don't know how

161
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: interested Rob g is if he's going to go to

162
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: a theater and watch it, if he's going to uh

163
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: get it on HBO Max at home. But um, I've

164
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: been hyped about this movie for a while. I like

165
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: superhero movies. I like some of this silly ridiculousness. So

166
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned you to a couple of buddies a few

167
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: months back and they're like, oh, dude, we should totally

168
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: stream it in the backyard on the big screen. And

169
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: I thought they were joking. And of course this week

170
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: comes up and they're like, so we're doing Godzilla King Kong, right,

171
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh my gosh, you guys are serious.

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: So we watched it and listen, you know what you're

173
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: get going into Godzilla King Kong. And I didn't think

174
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: it was the worst movie in the world. There was

175
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of laughable lines early in the movie,

176
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: and you end up rooting for monsters and they fight,

177
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it is as advertised. I did

178
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: think it was the worst thing in the world. I

179
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: it's not for gonna be for everybody. It's kind of ridiculous,

180
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: but the visual aspect of it is pretty incredible. I

181
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: would suggest if you have two hours to kill, check

182
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: it out on HBO Max. I'll say this, rob G,

183
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: you saw Coming to America Too? Listen this? How can

184
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: I can? I say that? I don't know if it

185
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: was better than Coming to America Too. Obviously different genre,

186
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: but Coming to America two was a bit of a

187
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: stretch to watch. I did watch that Solo and Godzilla

188
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: Kin Kong with a group of buddies, you know, with

189
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: some alcohol involved. Is not the worst movie in the movie.

190
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: Will you see an opening weekend, Robber? Oh yeah, I've

191
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: been mapping this out for weeks now. I was like,

192
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, first opening weekend. I have a chance. I

193
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: would have watched it last night, but you know, I

194
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: got a kid, so it's kind of tough. But definitely

195
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: go to a cinema or no. I got the HBO

196
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: Max that I steal from my in laws, so I

197
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: got their log inn watch that bagging about it on

198
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: a podcast listen to by hundreds of thousands. Unbelievable. The

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: risk you take with your life all right, onto actual sports.

200
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: You know it's funny some days, and listen we're in

201
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: a first um there's you know, it's like I'll be

202
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: texting Rob, what what do we talk about? You know,

203
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: some days while the guests, other days no guests. You

204
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: guys seem to like the banter. And with the NBA,

205
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: it's funny. Sometimes we'll be like, oh, I don't know

206
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: what we've got got and look up and we've got

207
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: forty minutes on NBA topics. And I thought about Major

208
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: League Baseball Opening Day. Unfortunately, I'm not doing fantasy for baseball,

209
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: and it kind of snuck up on me. I was

210
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: knee deep in the n c A tournament obviously, Godzilla

211
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: King Kong. We have my kids spring break for school,

212
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: We've got relatives visiting, so I'm not up to speed

213
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: on MLB, so I'm not I'm gonna punt on it

214
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: for now. Maybe we talked about it early next week.

215
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL drafts coming up. There's a lot

216
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: of stuff. So instead of MLB right now, I do

217
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: want to talk about just It's one of these little

218
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: issues that you can see becoming a bigger one. So J. J.

219
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: Reddick came out on a podcast. Naturally. By the way,

220
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: Godzilla King Kong has a podcast aspect to it, I'm

221
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: not even kidding you. And of course my friends are like,

222
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, straight fire. You know, they had listened

223
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and mocked me and everything. Anyways, J J. Reddick goes

224
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: on a podcast and essentially says, hey, you know what,

225
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the Pelicans screwed me. As soon as my good buddy

226
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday got traded, which is why I signed in

227
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: New Orleans, well pretty much that, and they paid me.

228
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: I asked to be traded. And David Griffin, who worked

229
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: at ESPN I think last year or two years ago

230
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: before getting the job with the Pels. He's very media friendly.

231
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: He knows JJ Reddick has a voice in the community.

232
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick podcast guest has his own podcast. J J.

233
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: Reddick comes out and says, they did me dirty. They

234
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: said they were going to trade me. I wanted to

235
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: be closer to home. I haven't seen my kids because

236
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: of quarantine and school and blah blah blah, and they

237
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: traded him to Dallas. JJ Reddick of course lives near

238
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: I think in Brooklyn. And JJ Redick comes out and

239
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: we're like, yo, it's not cool, and I get it,

240
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, screwing over Reddick and he's thirty six. Not

241
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: the end of the world. Is he the difference the

242
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: championship and not? Of course not. This is what popped

243
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: out to me and Rob g I think instantly, this

244
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: is what I texted you might as soon as I

245
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: hear JJ Reddick Pelicans, David Griffin screwed. My first thought

246
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson. Zion is seeing what's going on in the league.

247
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: He is aware. JJ Reddick, I'm not happy they traded

248
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: his friend to Milwaukee and JJ Reddick maybe he made

249
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: it clear to the team he has to be traded

250
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: and they're going to figure out a nice home for him.

251
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: And JJ Reddick just claims he was shafted. And if

252
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson sees that and his ticket is his clock

253
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: is ticking, folks, that's a real thing. We have not

254
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: seen a guy go from his rookie deal to free agency.

255
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: Everybody at least takes the first I think it's a

256
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: qualifying offers you stick around for a couple more years.

257
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I do wonder. And the Pelicans, by the way, are

258
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: still out of the playoff race in the West. Let

259
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: me call up the standings here. I believe they are

260
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: ten in the West, so currently they would not make

261
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs for a second straight year. Yea Golden State

262
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: is nine Grizzlies, Ted, I'm sorry, goldenz nine Grizzlies, ten Kings.

263
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Kings are eleven Pels twelve twelfth in the West. And

264
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: if JJ Reddick leaving is a void, you know he's

265
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: a short scorer, shooter. If they really miss him in

266
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans and they got a lot of young talent

267
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: and they missed the playoffs for the second straight year

268
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: with Zion. I know, I know Lebron missed it his

269
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: first two years. I get that. It's it's different in

270
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: the climate now than it was when Lebron was a

271
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: young pup. Super team era had not started, folks. And

272
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm not counting the Coral Malone Gary Payton to the Lakers.

273
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: That's like those guys were in wheelchairs. They were fossils

274
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: when they get to the Lakers. The super team era

275
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: began when Danny Ainge said, Damn, Lebron is gonna lay

276
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: waste to the East. We gotta do something. Remember, Lebron

277
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: had decimated the Pistons by himself, got them to the finals.

278
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: They got dusted by the Spurs, but it was obvious

279
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Lebron was here to stay. Danny Ainge says, I'm gonna

280
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: go out and get Kevin Garnett. Let me get Ray Allen.

281
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: We got ourselves a team. We gotta squad. That is

282
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Super Team era. Lebron looks at

283
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: his front office. Yo, what you guys gonna do? I mean,

284
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: could we endy up here? We got what we got?

285
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: I said, oh, let's get him. You know, thirty four

286
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: year old back I think he was thirty four, and

287
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: let's get him. I think it was one time. I'll

288
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: start Antoine Jamison, okay, and Lebron basically carries them to

289
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: sixty wins. They can't get out of the East again,

290
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: and then Lebron's deal was up. He says, you know what,

291
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm sick of dealing with the front office and relying

292
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: on those guys to deliver for me. I want to

293
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: deliver myself. Chris Bosh, let's go out of Miami and

294
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go win some chips. So listen, I

295
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: know people are gonna say, Jason, you're blown out of proportion.

296
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: You you want to get Zion to a sour city,

297
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: and no, Zion wants to win do you think he

298
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: wants to lose? You said, how many games do you

299
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: think Zion lost in high school? Zion goes to Duke,

300
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: should have won the championship, Coach k helps Zion back.

301
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: They losing the Elite eight to Michigan State. By the way,

302
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: great game. Uh. I don't know, Rob, I see this J. J.

303
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: Reddick thing. It's just another negative for the Pelicans who

304
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: just can't seem to get their act together. Yeah, and

305
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: you know I would, and we talked about this before

306
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: we started the podcast. I'm a little conflicted on this

307
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: whole thing. Um. On one hand, you know, if David

308
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: Griffin makes a promise as a man, you should keep it.

309
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: That's something I just I've always believed. On the other

310
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of this doesn't get talked about, you know,

311
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned that, you know he that JJ

312
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Reddick admitted that the only one of the reasons why

313
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: he went to New Orleans was because they offered him

314
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: the most money. But that's kind of been swept under

315
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the rug by a lot of the big headline writers.

316
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: So I don't feel as much sympathy for him in

317
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: that regard um. But I guess that the big headline

318
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: of it all, and that's exactly what you touched on,

319
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: is him saying that he just can't trust the front office.

320
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: And you know, what happened to me is not an

321
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: isolated incident, and blah blah blah blah. I don't think

322
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: that this JJ Reddick incident is going to be a

323
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: worse pr move or bigger deterrent for stars or to

324
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: keep Zion than what happened with Anthony Davis five years ago.

325
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Anthony Davis situation set a

326
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: precedent that's gonna be much more of the forefront of

327
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Zion's mind than anything that happened with J. J. Reddick,

328
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, because they wasted what seven eight nine years

329
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: of Anthony Davis's career, and it took him having to

330
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: force his way out of town, and from all the

331
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: reports that we've read, he tried to do it in

332
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: a low key fashion. You know, he did a quiet

333
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: trade request, and the Pelicans front office decided to make

334
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: it public and try to painting him out it to

335
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: be a bad guy, and then it was just playing

336
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: out in the public forum. And in this case, if

337
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm Zion Williams and I'm more concerned about the a

338
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: D situation. Number one and number two the fact that

339
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: when you did bring in this new regime and you

340
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: promised this changing the culture, you hire a coach that

341
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense with your roster, and stan Van Gundy

342
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: and David Griffin trades four and gives a massive contract

343
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: extension to Steven Adams, who does not fit next to you,

344
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: supposedly your franchise player. So I know, there's a long

345
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: roundabout way of saying it. I'm not sure if this

346
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: specific incident is gonna be, you know, the straw that

347
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: breaks the black with designs, but but it's definitely it'll

348
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: probably be like the seventh or eighth reason down the list,

349
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: if and when he doesn't he wants to leave. They

350
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: all add up. And I just just so people know,

351
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: the smart teams build around the superstar. The Milwaukee Bucks

352
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: went out built around you. Honest, they win sixty games,

353
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: they're dominant in the regular season, they choking the playoffs.

354
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: So what do they do. They go out get True Holiday. Again,

355
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: this is not Drew Holiday is not a top fifteen

356
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: player in the league. But they're trying to build around

357
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: their start to keep him in Milwaukee and you know,

358
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: you look at a guy like, I don't know Trey Young.

359
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Does he count as a star rock? You know I'm

360
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: not a big trade Young fan. Probably the wrong. Yeah,

361
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm Atlanta is trying here in whatever. This is your

362
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: three of Trey Young. Given him a lot of support.

363
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: Still five hundred bulls. They like Zach Levine. They're building

364
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: around him. The Utah Jazz have done a phenomenal job

365
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: building around out of the Mitchell. They may never win

366
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: a title, but you can't fault them for building around

367
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: their star and keeping him in Utah. Donovan Mitchell is

368
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: not gonna say I'm pissed. How could you say your

369
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: piss when you're winning thirty six games and you're there

370
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: every year? Right? I mean, Utah is gonna be in

371
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: the mix once again. Remember they had Denver down three

372
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: one in the first round last year, and I believe

373
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: some of that was maybe without Connie or they know

374
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: it was Bogdanovitch. I'm sorry, without Bogdanovich, who was like

375
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: their third best player. So Utah is gonna be there.

376
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: When you look at Lebron in Cleveland, they never gave

377
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: him a second star. And again, maybe you say it's

378
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: tough to get stars to Utah. Well, get ancillary pieces

379
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: to Utah. Get ancillary, he said, to Milwaukee, and maybe

380
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: you got something. You couldn't get him to Cleveland for Lebron.

381
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: But listen, this Zion thing stinks because the guys I

382
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 1: want to see in the playoffs, Rob, I'll kind him

383
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: on it. Obviously, Lebron is going to be in the playoffs,

384
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: but like the guys who were on the fringe of

385
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: superstardom or top eight that I want to see in

386
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I definitely want to see Curry. I definitely

387
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: want to see Zion. And you know, I'm not a

388
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: huge job morant guy yet I prefer Daron Fox myself.

389
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: But in the East, I want to see Zach Levine

390
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I mean, there is no doubt about it.

391
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: I really like Zach Levine's game. I am maybe champion

392
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: of the Zach Levine fan club. Currently they are tenth

393
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: in the East, ahead of the Raptors, who, goodness gracious,

394
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: Raptors are so bad, um, Rob. Any other thoughts on

395
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: the NBA as we wrap up kind of this short podcast,

396
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: I did I didn't think Andre Drummond's debut with the

397
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Lakers who was worth much. Uh, it sounds like he

398
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: got stepped on by one of the Lopez by Brook Lopez,

399
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: and ended up losing a toenail, and and so he

400
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: barely got to play. What a start for Andre Drummond

401
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: come out and he the seven footer, seven ft two

402
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds, big, big, mean dude gets a

403
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: toe injury in his Lakers And this is exactly what

404
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to say. I knew that we mentioned that

405
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: we were to talk about Andre Drummond. I said I

406
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: was gonna push back on Jason because Jason was going

407
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: to say something like, oh, it's just a toe. You

408
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: know you're seven ft tall. Let me just say this.

409
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: I lost my toe nail twice in high school playing football.

410
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: To this day, so this is now fourteen fifteen years later,

411
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: my toenail does not grow properly on my left big toe.

412
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: You no like it grow. It's never grown in normally

413
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: again like that, it's it's I know it sounds like

414
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: it's a not a big deal, but let me tell

415
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: you that is one of the most annoying, painful, irritating

416
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: injuries you can get. Be honest, do you um like

417
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: feel reluctant to show off your toe with the beach.

418
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm a big sox and saddles

419
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: guy on the streets. Oh man socks and say, I listen,

420
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: I I hear. I mean I don't have that. I

421
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: don't have that issue. But um, I can understand where

422
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: you're coming from. You know, that's a tough So you know,

423
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: pour one out for Andre Drummond, you know, say a

424
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: prayer for him, and hopefully as Tonio grows back, fine,

425
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: because it's it's a lot worse than it sounds. America

426
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: Rob Our resident total um So, I guess you know,

427
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: we'll we'll put a pin in it there. I'm sure

428
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: someone's gonna listen to the Deshaun Watson stuff earlier and

429
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: and give me s H I T and he this

430
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: is part of the uh comes with the territory. Again.

431
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I highly recommend just taking a step back saying I

432
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I do There's there's not enough information you

433
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: can do that. Okay, we're not talking about um you know,

434
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: the whether or not Damian Lillard is the m v P.

435
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: You have an opinion on that. And by the way,

436
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: Rob was early saying Dames should be in the mix.

437
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: I personally don't think Dame could pull it off. You

438
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: under the Great Game last night, he's I think he

439
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: might finish top three, depending on when Lebron and embiad

440
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: come back. I mean, we're really looking at hardened Joker,

441
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: Dame in the top three. Nice. Perhaps in the race

442
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: could get tricky, you know, in the next week or two,

443
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: because MBAT is supposed to come back this weekend. But

444
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: also last night, I wasn't really talked about much at

445
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: all because of the big Andre Drummond toenail news. Uh,

446
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: James Harden left his game with the tight hamstring, So

447
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: if he's out another if he's like a week or two,

448
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: This NBA season in the m v P race especially,

449
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: could be determined by who plays the most games. It

450
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, it's crazy that I'm so glad

451
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: we had the n c A Tournament because rob Right now,

452
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: the NBA collectively as a mash unit. I mean, everybody's hurt.

453
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: It's you turn on a game. They were promoting Janice

454
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: versus Dennis Shrewder on ESPN last night. I'm not even kidding.

455
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: That was like a effic. I put it on my

456
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,639
