00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: No NHL, no NBA tonight, and maybe that's good. I

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: could use a breather. A lot of hockey over the weekend.

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, hockey is one of those sports that you

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: don't have to know the players. When it gets to

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: playoff hockey a game seven, there's no other sport that

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: compares to it. Now, when you're watching hockey during the

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: regular season, you probably consider yourself hardcore, but the casual

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: and who tunes in to watch hockey will always say

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the same thing, yeow lee, there's no playoff action that's

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: better than hockey Game seven, where you know all it

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: takes is one shot. And you had that yesterday over

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: the weekend, and it was a lot of fun Game

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: sevens that you had the Flames, Advanced Rangers, Oilers, Lightning, Hurricanes.

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: You had a Game seven with the MAVs and the Suns.

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: He had a Game seven with the Celtics and the Bucks.

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up in a little bit.

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: We'll have a pull question, play of the day, stat

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: of the Day, all of that forthcoming. Remember when the

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks traded for Christops Porzingis. That was twenty nineteen

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of people thought, Okay, there you go,

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Lucas got a running mate here. Well the big man

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a bust, but he not as good as advertised,

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: and they sent him to Washington and it was one

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: of those trade deadline deals where you go, oh, Porzingis

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: got traded. Who did they get in return? Spencer Dinwitty?

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: And then they got some guy that nobody can pronounce.

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: His first name is it Davis Burtons? And you go, okay, yeah,

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: I think he's known as the um is he like

40
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the Latvian laser something. He's got a nickname I might have.

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: We'll go with it. I will you google Davis because

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it. No, he's got some

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: nickname that he got in Europe. Nobody calls him that

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: in the United States. If he was Davis Birthdays, he

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the league. Yea laser? Is he like

46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: the Latfian laser? Something like that? Exactly right, is it? Yeah?

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Nicknamed the Latian laser. Bloo Boo, boo boo. Cannot believe

48
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: that the thing. I don't know where that came from

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: the deep recesses of my mind. I can't tell you

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: what I had for dinner last night, but I can

51
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: tell you that Davis Burtons is known as the Latfian Laser.

52
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: Dinwodi has been a nice fit with a nice compliment

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: with the Brunson with Don Chick, and last night he

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: contributed thirty in the MAVs blowout win. It's one of

55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: those be careful what you ask for. When the Sun

56
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: started mocking Luca and I thought, gosh, this this. I

57
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: took a trip down memory lane when the Miami Heat

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: with Lebron James and d Wade were mocking Dirk Navitsky.

59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: Remember when he had the cough and they would go,

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, they would stand next to him or they

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: walked by him go, And I go, oh, no, don't

62
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: do that, because it didn't. It didn't turn out well

63
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat when they did that to another

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Maverick. But you're watching, and I kept going, where

65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: where are the Suns where? Remember it was they're up

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: two games to none. And then I thought, okay, maybe

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: maybe Dallas gets one or two wins out of this,

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: and you know, give credit to what Dallas has done

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively. I had to laugh. I text my

70
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: good buddy Nick Wright. I said, nobody's bringing up Luca's

71
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: lack of defense. Remember there was a big deal. Oh,

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: they're taking advantage of him. I go, oh, okay, is

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: anybody taking advantage of him now? And the answer is no.

74
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: He scored the same number of points that the Phoenix

75
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Suns did in the first half. I'm going, oh my god,

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: this is not good. And Luca was having a whole

77
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Here is a question to Chris Paul

78
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: and his health after the loss last night. Chris just

79
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: didn't seem like you were yourself to night. Is there

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: anything far as the hand or anything going on with

81
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: that or was it just the game itself a tough game.

82
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: You know, all season long, we try to lean on

83
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: our defense. Tonight our defense, what no. Our offense wasn't

84
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: there either, So I think coach said a lot of it.

85
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, You play off season to

86
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: be in this situation and didn't work out for us. Yeah,

87
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was banged up, there was

88
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: there was talk afterwards that he was dealing with an

89
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: injury leg injury there. You still got to be able

90
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: to play offensively, defensively, like, no excuses zero at home.

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: You're mocking Luca. You have a better team. You were

92
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: the best team in the Western Conference. And then you

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: know show and I thought about this last night. You know,

94
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: I always hear from the Phoenix Suns fans. Hey, you

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: never mentioned Devin Booker from VP okay and I usually

96
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: respond that Chris Paul is probably the most valuable player.

97
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: Devin Booker is the best player on the team, and

98
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: there's a big difference. And then I wondered if you

99
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: swap these two stars, Devin Booker and Luca. Luca got

100
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: to play with the Phoenix Suns and Devin Booker played

101
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: for the MAVs. The MAVs wouldn't have gotten this far,

102
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: not at all, not even close. Devin Booker wonderful, score, wonderful,

103
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: but he's not Luca. This is where you say, desperate times,

104
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: desperate measures. I'm gonna put the team on my back.

105
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum did this in Boston. Greek Freak did this

106
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: last year. Luca did this series last night, and that's

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: why they're going to play Golden State in the Western

108
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: Conference Finals. This is where you make a name for yourself.

109
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: You want to say to the voters next year, don't

110
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: forget about me. Look at what I did this year

111
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Well, next year, those voters are gonna

112
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: look at Devin Booker and going, yeah, yeah, man, I

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: don't know, man, he didn't show up. Luca Meanwile, this

114
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: is what you want. He just turned twenty three, turned

115
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty three in February. I mean, he's been doing big

116
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: boy things for five six years now, going back to

117
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: when he was in Europe. But be careful. The basketball

118
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: gods have a way of going, oh, I don't think so.

Speaker 1: like no, no, you got a chance to close them out,

121
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,040

179
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: the Sun's first half. I'm not surprised at Luca. I am.

180
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: I am stunned by what I saw of the Phoenix Suns.

181
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,440

182

183
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Mannock some sports illustrator. We will join us coming up

184
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,040

185
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Adam home game seven, in the huddle,

186
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: is it come on, guys, let's go, or is it

187
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: just let's let's start making travel plans. I don't even

188
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: know what Monny Williams would say in the huddle to them, like, hey,

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: you guys put yourself in this leap you guys, get

190
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: yourself out of it. Yeah, he has funny too, is

191
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: that the final score still doesn't show how much of

192
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: a blowout that game was. Yeah, it's fair. It was

193
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: even worse than what the final score says. They played

194
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter basically against a B team and they

195
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: still got destroyed. Phoenix won the fourth quarter. Yeah, Boston

196
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: made twenty two three pointers. That's the most ever in

197
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: a game seven. You know. On the other end of

198
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: the rainbow, the Bucks were four of thirty three. That's

199
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: twelve point one percent. That's the worst three point shooting

200
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: percentage in an NBA playoff game by any team attempting

201
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: at least thirty three pointers. Stat of the day saut

209
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: Did the Celtics sign him two days ago? Because I

210
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people know who he is.

211
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: Grant Williams got the green light yesterday, believe it or not,

213
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,000

00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: a scratch and wasn't going to play, and I said,

215

259
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: no NHL, no NBA tonight and maybe that's good. I

260
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: could use a breather. A lot of hockey over the weekend.

261
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: You know, hockey is one of those sports that you

262
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: don't have to know the players. When it gets to

263
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: playoff hockey a game seven, there's no other sport that

264
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: compares to it. Now, when you're watching hockey during the

265
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: regular season, you probably consider yourself hardcore, but the casual

266
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: fan who tunes in to watch hockey will always say

267
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: the same thing, gow Lee, there's no playoff action that's

268
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: better than hockey game seven, where you know, all it

269
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: takes is one shot. And you had that yesterday over

270
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: the weekend, and it was a lot of fun Game

271
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: sevens that you had the Flames, Advanced Rangers, Oilers, Lightning, Hurricanes.

272
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: You had a Game seven with the MAVs and the Suns.

273
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: You had a Game seven with the Celtics and the Bucks.

274
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up in a little bit.

275
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: We'll have a pull question, play of the day, stat

276
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: of the day, all of that forthcoming. Remember when the

277
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks traded for Chris stops port Zingis. That was

278
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and a lot people thought, Okay, there you go,

279
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Luca's got a running mate here. Well, the big man

280
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a bust, but he not as good as advertised,

281
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: and they sent him to Washington and it was one

282
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: of those trade deadline deals where you go, oh, Porzingis

283
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: got traded. Who did they get in return? Spencer Dinwittie?

284
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: And then they got some guy that nobody can pronounce.

285
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: His first name? Is it Davis bird Tons? And you go, okay, yeah,

286
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: I think he's known as the um. Is he like

287
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: the Latvian laser something? He's got a nickname I might have.

288
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: We'll go with it. Will you google Davis because I

289
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: don't want to spoil it. No, he's got some nickname

290
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: that he got in Europe. Nobody calls him that in

291
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: the United States. If he was David's birthdays, he wouldn't

292
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: be in the league. Ye, laser? Is he like the

293
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: Latviian laser? Something like that? Exactly right? Is it? Yeah?

294
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: Nicknamed a Latfian laser. Bloo boo boo boo. Cannot be.

295
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from the deep recesses

296
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: of my mind. I can't tell you what I had

297
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: for dinner last night, but I can tell you that

298
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: Davy's Berton's is known as the Latian lazer. Dinwood. He's

299
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: been a nice fit, with a nice compliment with Brunson,

300
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: with Don chick, and last night he contributed to thirty

301
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: in the MAVs blowout win. It's one of those be

302
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: careful what you ask for. When the Sun started mocking

303
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: Luca and I thought, gosh, this this. I took a

304
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: trip down memory lane when the Miami Heat with Lebron

305
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: James and d Wade were mocking Dirk Nevitsky. Remember when

306
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: he had the cough and they would go, you know,

307
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: they would stand next to him or they walked by

308
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: him going and I go, oh, no, don't do that,

309
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: because it didn't. It didn't turn out well for the

310
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: Miami Heat when they did that to another Dallas Maverick.

311
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: But you're watching, and I kept going, where where are

312
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: the Sun's where? Remember it was They're up two games

313
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: to none. And then I thought, okay, maybe maybe Dallas

314
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: gets one or two wins out of this, and you know,

315
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: give credit to what Dallas has done offensively and defensively.

316
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: I had to laugh. I text my good buddy Nick Wright.

317
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: I said, nobody's bringing up Luca's lack of defense. Remember

318
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: there was a big deal. Oh, they're taking advantage of him.

319
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: I go, oh, okay, is anybody taking advantage of him now?

320
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: And the answer is no. He scored the same number

321
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: of points that the Phoenix Suns did in the first half.

322
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm going, oh my god, this is not good. And

323
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Luca was having a whole lot of fun. Here is

324
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: a question to Chris Paul and his health after the

325
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: loss last night. Chris just didn't seem like you with

326
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: yourself tonight. Is there anything far as the hand or

327
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: anything going on with that or was it just the

328
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: game itself? You know, season long, we try to lean

329
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: on our defense. Tonight our defense, what now offense wouldn't

330
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: there either, So I think coach said a lot of it,

331
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You play off season to

332
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: be in this situation and didn't work out. Foods Yeah,

333
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was banged up. You know,

334
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: there was there was talk afterwards that he was dealing

335
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: with an injury leg injury there. You still got to

336
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: be able to play offensively, defensively, like, no excuses zero

337
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: at home. You're mocking Luca. You have a better team,

338
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: You were the best team in the Western Conference. And

339
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: then you know show and I thought about this last night.

340
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, I always hear from the Phoenix Suns fans. Hey,

341
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: you never mentioned Devin Booker. Frim VP okay, and I

342
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: usually respond that Chris Paul is probably the most valuable player.

343
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: Devin Booker is the best player on the team, and

344
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: there's a big difference. And then I wondered, if you

345
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: swap these two stars, Devin Booker and Luca, Luca got

346
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: to play with the nick Suns and Devin Booker played

347
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: for the MAVs, the MAVs wouldn't have gotten this far,

348
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: not at all, not even close. Devin Booker wonderful, score, wonderful,

349
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: but he's not Luca. This is where you say, desperate times,

350
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: desperate measure, I'm gonna put the team on my back.

351
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum did this in Boston. Greek Freak did this

352
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: last year. Luca did this this series last night, and

353
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: that's why they're going to play Golden State in the

354
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: Western Conference finals. This is where you make a name

355
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: for yourself. You want to say to the voters next year,

356
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: don't forget about me. Look at what I did this

357
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: year in the playoffs. Well, next year those voters are

358
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna look at Devin Booker and go, yeah, yeah, man,

359
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, he didn't show up. Luca meanwhile,

360
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: this is what you want. He just turned twenty three,

361
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: turned twenty three in February. I mean he's been doing

362
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: big boy things for five six years now, going back

363
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: to when he was in Europe. But be careful. The

364
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: basketball gods have a way of going, oh, I don't

365
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,000

426
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: with more shocking Lucas first half or the Sun's first half.

427
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at Luca. I am. I am stunned

428
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: by what I saw of the Phoenix Suns. Where you go,

429
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: do you guys realize that this means you get to

430
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: go to the Western Conference finals? Chris Mannock, some sports

431
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: illustrator will join us coming up next hour. But when

432
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: you're down forty two going into the fourth quarter ATAM

433
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: home game seven, in the huddle, is it come on, guys,

434
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: let's go, or is it just let's let's start making

435
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: travel plans. I don't even know what Monny Williams would

436
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: say in the huddle to them, like, hey, you guys,

437
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: put yourself in this bleep you guys, get yourself out

438
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, he has. Funny too, is that the

439
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: final score still doesn't show how much of a blowout

440
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: that game was. Yeah, that's fair. It was even worse

441
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: than what the final score says. They played the fourth

442
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: quarter basically against a B team, and they still got destroyed.

443
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Phoenix won the fourth quarter. Yeah, Boston made twenty two

444
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: three pointers. That's the most ever in a game seven.

445
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: You know. On the other end of the rainbow, the

446
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: Bucks were four of thirty three. That's twelve point one percent.

447
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: That's the worst three point shooting percentage in an NBA

448
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: playoff game by any team attempting at least thirty three pointers.

449
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: Out of good days, out of the day, that beast

450
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,120

00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: It was seven of eighteen for three. Did the Celtics

457
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: sign him two days ago? Because I don't think a

458
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: lot of people know who is Grant Williams got the

459
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: green light yesterday, believe it or not, and he took

460
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: advantage of it. He was great. But you know, we

461
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: talked about this when Chris Middleton was a scratch and

462
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: wasn't going to play, And I said, nobody's gonna talk

463
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: about this now, but they're gonna come around to talking

464
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: about it because it's a big deal. When they lose,

465
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be a big deal. They didn't have

466
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton. You didn't have that, you know, Jason Tatum

467
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: had help. Yes, Eton. You know how you always say

468
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: like you're just I'm okay losing. I'm not gonna let

469
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: say Tatum beat me. You can't let Brown beat me.

470
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: All at the other their guys beat me. Grant Williams

471
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: was exactly that bad. You gotta live with Okay, So

472
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: this dude's gonna beat us, and he's gonna beat us.

473
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: Well that's when I look back and I go, who

474
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: beat us? Now? Jordan? Jordan hit a game winner. Magic

475
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: dominated Bird was unbelievable. All right, I look back and

476
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: I go, how did we lose? Yeah, Grant Williams, Grant Williams,

477
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: how did we like? Grant Williams beat us? Yeah, Well

478
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: it's either that or let Jason Tatum beat us. We

479
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: let Grant Williams beat us. I'm okay with that. I'm

480
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: all right with it. Give credit. The Boston was a

481
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,200

Speaker 1: there covering the Eastern Conference Fine on our Eastern Conference

499
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: semis as the Boston Celtics pick up the win over

500
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. Mannix joins us on the program. Felt

501
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: like that this was a hall pass year for Yannis.

502
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: You win the title, your MVP. You don't have Chris Middleton,

503
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: but you get the feeling Milwaukee is gonna be back

504
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: in this position next year, don't you. Yeah? I agree.

505
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: You know, when a team goes out, you start to

506
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: do these post mortems on them, and in those moments,

507
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: you're often looking at worst case scenarios. But it's like,

508
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: all right, well they lost in the second round, what's

509
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: the significant change that needs to be made to get

510
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: them to a championship level? Even with Phoenix, you know

511
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: they're still good themselves, but you start talking about Chris

512
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: Paul being thirty seven and looking like a thirty seven

513
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: year old over the last week or so, DeAndre Ayton's contract,

514
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: the expensiveness of that team. Will Robert Sarber pay the

515
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: luxury tax? With Milwaukee, it really is just kind of

516
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: get Chris Middleton back in the mix and make a

517
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: few changes around the periphery. Now, look, I think the

518
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: Dante de Vincenzo trade really hurt that team in this series.

519
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: They could have used Devincenzo. I understand why they made

520
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: the deal. A few months ago. They made the deal

521
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: to get Sergebaca because they didn't know the health status

522
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: of Brook Lopez at that time, So you had to

523
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: have an insurance policy in the middle for the playoffs

524
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: in Ibaka nominally had enough playoff experience to get you there.

525
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: But as I watch Game seven and I'm watching Grayson

526
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: Allen struggle Wesley Matthews struggle, those two guys won for

527
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: eleven in game seven, I'm thinking Dante Divinchenza would have

528
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: been pretty valuable in one of those roles. So you

529
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: need someone like that and said some help on that

530
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: bench if you're Milwaukee. But you plug Chris Middleton back

531
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: onto that team and you start next year as one

532
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: of the top five favorites to win the NBA Championship.

533
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: So it's not you know, it's not. You obviously need

534
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: need some things to go right to win titles. But

535
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: this Bucks team, if they bring this group back hole,

536
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: you can make an argument there right there at the

537
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: top of the NBA are the Son's frauds? No? I mean,

538
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, you start to get some like, you know,

539
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: during this series, the way they were mocking Luca at times,

540
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean like, I don't know why you want to

541
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: poke that bear, and the way they did it kind

542
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: of reminded me of how condescending the Miami Heat were

543
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven towards during Davitski, remember that with like

544
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: the fake cough and all the stuff, Like there was

545
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: a level of arrogance to that Miami team in the

546
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: NBA Finals that cut up to them. I mean, the

547
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: the Mavericks were not as superstar laden as Miami was

548
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: at that time, but they were the better team and

549
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: they came out and showed it. And like early in

550
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: the series, there were some pot shots taken at Luca.

551
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: A little bit later in the series, you're talking about

552
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: the Luca Special and how he's flopping and falling down

553
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: things like that. I just it felt a little over

554
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: the top, especially for a team that hadn't won anything,

555
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: that had gotten to the finals last year, and you know,

556
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: lost to the Bucks in six games. So yeah, there's

557
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: that part of it. But frauds no. I just as

558
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: I wrapped this series up, Dan, I go into the

559
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: offseason wondering what Chris Paul has left in the tank

560
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: at this point, I mean games one and two. Look

561
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: at the numbers. Games one and two, he was excellent,

562
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: like twenty four points per game something like that. You're

563
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: going to Game three, which not coincidentally is when he

564
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: turned thirty seven years old, and from Game three on

565
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: he was bad. He was averaging a thing under ten

566
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: points per game in that stretch. In the last two

567
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: games he was awful. So it's almost like, you know,

568
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: he turns thirty seven, he got old, like literally overnight

569
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: in that game. So I go into next season wondering

570
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: did we see did we just see kind of a

571
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: change in Chris Paul? Is he going to be able

572
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: to be the player he was during this season or

573
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: do we now have to accept that Chris Paul is,

574
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: while still a high level guy, maybe going to be

575
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: something of a diminished version of his former self moving forward. Yeah,

576
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: he turns thirty seven, Luca just turned twenty three in February.

577
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Like he's doing things you're not supposed to this. He's not,

578
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: he's not. But don't don't you speaking of like vibes

579
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: off off teams, Like, yeah, look, the Mavericks are good.

580
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: The Spencer didn Winnie trade was great for them, Jalen

581
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Brunson is excellent. But don't you get kind of some

582
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: like O six Cavaliers, you know, seven with the team

583
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: that Lebron kind of strapped to his back and took

584
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: to the finals that year. That team had some good players,

585
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: like Larry Hughes was good, Eric Snow was good, but

586
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: there was no there was no stars on that team. Like,

587
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: don't you get a little bit of that with this

588
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Dallas team, Like, you know, they're good players, and those

589
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: players showed up in Game seven. You know, Phoenix's role

590
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: players did nothing. Dallas's role players did everything. But you know,

591
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: Luca outscored the Suns in the first half of that

592
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: game by himself. Like how often do you see that?

593
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I mean this, this to me feels a lot like

594
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: that Lebron year where he just took the Cavs into

595
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: the finals with a bunch of guys that were good,

596
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: but nowhere near, you know, championship level. So, Chris Mannix

597
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated Senior writer, if you were going to describe

598
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: Luca to somebody who hadn't seen him, what words would

599
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: you use? Larry Bird but a better ball handler and

600
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: he makes the kind of shots that Bird made, you know,

601
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: and I grew up watching Larry turnarounds, fadeaways, effortless three pointers.

602
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: He can just do more with the ball, I think

603
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: than Larry Bird could have done in his best days.

604
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty much. It's he's Bird with

605
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: better ball handling skills. I couldn't help but think of

606
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics and so I'm watching them demolished the

607
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: Bucks that Brad Stevens decided not to coach and went

608
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: into the front office. Like when you think that, I mean,

609
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: that's shocking because it wasn't like he was old. I

610
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: don't think health was playing an issue he went into

611
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: the front office. It was one of those oh, by

612
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: the way moves where you look, that's right, he used

613
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: to coach this team. This team would not be in

614
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: this position if Brad Stevens was still the head coach.

615
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: And I say that as a person who back when

616
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens decided to step down and then step up

617
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: into the front office, I was pretty critical of it.

618
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think that Brad Stevens was the right fit

619
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: for a front office role. I thought, in a way,

620
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: he was taking the easy way out. You know, he

621
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: had been worn down over the previous couple of years,

622
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: whether it was the Kyrie season, which took a lot

623
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: out of him, or the Bubble season, which took a

624
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: lot out of everybody I thought at the time, you know,

625
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: he was looking for something of a cushier gig in

626
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: that front office. But Brad Stevens recognized at that moment,

627
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: the Celtics recognized at that moment as good a coach

628
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: as Brad Stevens is, and he still is an excellent coach.

629
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: He had run his course with that group. His coaching

630
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: was no longer resonating with that group, and they needed

631
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: a coach who was effectively the anti Brad Stevens. That's

632
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: what Emaiyodoka is. He as smart as both of these

633
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: men are, his coaching style could not be more different

634
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: than Brad Stevens from a philosophical standpoint, where he came

635
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: in and brought this switching defense to this team that

636
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: they hadn't played in years past, which helped propel them

637
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: to the top of the NBA in defensive rating. Two

638
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: More importantly, a sterner voice, someone that was willing to

639
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: give this team a public whipping after bad losses in

640
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: the first part of the season. Emayodoca one of the

641
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: big reasons he was number two on my Coach of

642
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: the Year ballot was because people looked at the first

643
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: two months of the season as being bad, I looked

644
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: at them as being great coaching. Emayodoka spent those first

645
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: two months breaking the Celtics of so many bad habits

646
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: they had atrophied over the last year or so under

647
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens. So Emayodoka had to break them of that

648
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: habits to get them in the position in January where

649
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: they started to turn things around and the second half

650
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: of the season where they were a top three team

651
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: in the entire NBA. So as much as I like

652
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens as a coach and I believe he will

653
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: be a coach again someday and he will be highly

654
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: successful as a coach someday, this team needed the voice

655
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: and the coaching of Emayodoka to get to where they

656
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: are right now. The Lakers still need a coach. What

657
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: are they waiting for? Are you available? No? I told him,

658
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: I'm not. You're not. No, I'm not. Who are they

659
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: waiting for? I don't know if they're waiting for one

660
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: specific person. I don't know the answer to that. I

661
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: do know they are not. From talking to coaching agents,

662
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: they are not operating with any sense of urgency. They

663
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: don't seem to believe that they need to hire someone

664
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days, couple of weeks. There's

665
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: no real timetable from what I've been able to gather

666
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: about who when the Lakers want to hire a coach.

667
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: And I got to give him credit, Chris for their

668
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: consistency because they didn't play with any urgency last year

669
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 1: during the season, So why have urgency trying to find

670
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: a head coach. Well, you'd think too, like you know

671
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: the Lakers. We know the Lakers draft situation. It's it's

672
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: not great, but you're going into the NBA Draft combine

673
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: this week in Chicago. I mean, you theoretically want to

674
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: have your head coach in place at that point to

675
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: start thinking about kind of what you want to do

676
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: with that roster. I don't know yet what the future

677
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: of Quinn Snyder is. There seems to be, I mean,

678
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: he has been fired, so he's still there. Doc Rivers

679
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: is going to be back. Perhaps the Lakers will waiting

680
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: to see how that shook out in Philadelphia, but Daryl

681
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: Morey this week said Doc Rivers would be back as

682
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: head coach. Maybe they're waiting to see some of the

683
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: some of these dominoes fall with some of the more

684
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 1: experienced coaches before they make their pick. But all I

685
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: can tell you, Dan is that Buck our coach that

686
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: are interviewing with the Lakers are not getting the sense

687
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: as any urgency to fill that position. Great to talk

688
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: to you again, Chris, Thanks for joining us. You got it, Dan,

698
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll hear from Drew Brees. Drew Brees from

699
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: a year ago, well not quite a year ago, where

700
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: he was talking about being a studio analyst and a

701
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: game analyst, And there might be a hidden message in

702
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: there as to how Drew Brees got to where he

703
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: is now where it looks like he's not gonna be

704
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: working for NBC with Football Night in America. There's the possibility,

705
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,959
Speaker 1: I guess, of him coming back and playing. I don't

706
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: think that's going to happen. He's forty three years of age.

707
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen is the New Orleans Saints new head coach,

708
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: and he said that after reading the tweet by Drew

709
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: Brees hinting and it possible to return to football, the

710
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: new head coach of the Saints said that was likely

711
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: quote made in jest. Allen says that I think it

712
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: was a combat made in jest, and we certainly haven't

713
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: had any conversations in that regard. Let's see. He goes

714
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: on to say, I don't really want to live in

715
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: these hypothetical worlds right now. We'll see where it all goes.

716
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: But he caused a lot of interest, that's for sure.

717
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't think Drew Brees can play again. I think

718
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: this has to do with Drew Brees saying there's no

719
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: fun being a studio analyst like he's Drew Brees. Drew

720
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: Brees is used to going out to a stadium, people

721
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: either yelling your name because they support you and love you,

722
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: or yelling at you because you could beat their team

723
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: on that day. You go to a Antiseptic Studio in Stanford, Connecticut.

724
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. You walk in and you see Mike Florio

725
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: and Peter King, Chris Simms, You're probably going, this isn't fun.

726
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: I think being at a game is really important for

727
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: Drew Brees because you can never replicate that. But the

728
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: closest you can get would be at a game site

729
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: and doing the game. When he goes to South Benny

730
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: does notre dame games. I'm sure that he's treated like

731
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: a king, people you know, yelling their support and want

732
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: your pitch. Sure as Drew, we love you. He doesn't

733
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: get that. In Stanford, Connecticut, you walk in and you're

734
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: there in that building for eight, nine, ten hours a day,

735
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: as opposed to the excitement of being out there with

736
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: the game going on. I asked Drew, this is November

737
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: twenty second of twenty twenty one, and I said, what's

738
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: the biggest challenge making the transition from football to analysts? Well,

739
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's a different skill set and

740
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: it's using different muscles. I'd say the biggest challenge honestly

741
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: is first off, broadcasting and in studio work are completely

742
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: different anyway, you know, broadcasting to me is kind of

743
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: like playing the game, which is a lot of fun.

744
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: I prepare the same way I watch film, the same way.

745
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think about how I would be attacking

746
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: the opposing team or the opposing defense the exact same

747
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: way as if I was actually gonna go out there

748
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: and play quarterback. And then it's just a matter of

749
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: being to articulate that to the fans with listening and watching,

750
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: and you try to put them in your shoes as

751
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: a player. You know, you go in studio and it's

752
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: it's it's it's much quicker. You know, you have a

753
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: lot more to get through in a very short amount

754
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: of time. You know, you're really trying to give a

755
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: synopsis of what happened throughout the entire day. And the

756
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: broadcasting is college football and the in studio is NFL football,

757
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: So you feel like you have to have this knowledge

758
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: base of of kind of the general landscape of both.

759
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: So that makes it difficult. And then I get to

760
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: broadcasting an NFL game on Thursday night in New Orleans,

761
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: so it's a little bit everything all kind of thrown

762
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: into a very short amount of time. He touched on

763
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: some really interesting things there, and he's talking about the

764
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: closest I can get to being a quarterback again is

765
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: being on site doing a game, not being in studio,

766
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: Because in studio you may get thirty seconds, maybe you

767
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 1: get forty five seconds. I mean, that's an eternity when

768
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: it comes to being an analyst in the studio, we'd

769
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: like to keep it moving rapid fire, and then you

770
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: move on to another topic. When you're there, you're preparing,

771
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: you're talking to the coaches, you're talking to the quarterbacks,

772
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: you're talking to the players. The energy in the building.

773
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: Nothing can replicate that unless you're playing. And I think

774
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: that's what Drew Brees is saying. I don't want to

775
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: be a studio analyst. I want to be a game analyst. Well,

776
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: NBC has one game analyst, and that's Chris Collinsworth, and

777
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere anytime soon. You get to do

778
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame football? Is that enough? Notre Dame football? And

779
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: then you come in and do the studio. I think

780
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: Drew wants to do games, but he's also probably looking around,

781
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: going let me take inventory here, Tony Romo, Troy Aikman, Kurk,

782
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: Curb Street, Tom Brady, and he's probably going those guys

783
00:44:54,680 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: are getting twelve, fifteen, twenty million dollars a year. Tom's

784
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna come in and bigfoot everybody and get nearly forty million,

785
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: and I'm making six million, and I'm in a studio.

786
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: I think I need to get out. That's my feeling.

787
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: Do I think he's gonna play football now? And maybe

788
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: NBC said, hey, all right, go now. They're probably gonna

789
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: want something in return for whoever signs him. But he

790
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: might go and try to be a game analyst at

791
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: Fox A Gas. I mean, there's only so many opportunities there.

792
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: But I think that Drew is saying, look, if I'm

793
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna do this, i want to be a game analyst.

794
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: I'm going to prepare. I want to get ready for

795
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: a game as I would if I was playing quarterback.

796
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: Everybody ran with the speculation of the Saints, Hey what

797
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: about the Dolphins, Hey Carolina, Hey what about Seattle? And

798
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: I went, I think he's under contract with Seattle or

799
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: with the Saints. I don't know what you give up

800
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: to get Drew Brees. But why would Drew Brees go

801
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: play for somebody else? Given what New Orleans has still

802
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: got a good defense? You just signed Jarvis Landry Chris Olabe.

803
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: You drafted him out of Ohio State. Michael Thomas coming back,

804
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: Kamara is going to be back. That seems like pretty

805
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: good team. Shoulder had a year to rest. Yeah, Paully,

806
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: I have a little theory and it's Drew Brees thing. Now.

807
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: If you're NBC, you now need a studio analys screct. Yeah,

808
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: Dana Ulovsky's contract is in flux right now at the ESPN.

809
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: Dana Roulovski will not be getting the Monday night football

810
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: job anytime soon at ESPN, which he was possibly in

811
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: line for before he could easily go over to NBC

812
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: right down the street from where he lives, basically and

813
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: fill in. And you've got a younger guy who's really

814
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: hot right now to replace Drew Brees would seem like

815
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: a media upgrade, and Dan Orlovsky can just patiently wait

816
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: for Chris Collinsworth to choose to leave. Yeah, but I

817
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: don't know. You've got Chris Simms in there, Rodney Harrison's

818
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: now out in the field, Tony Dungee is in there,

819
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: Maria Taylor's your new host there. Florio contributes. I don't

820
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: know if Peter King is still contributing on a weekly basis.

821
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: I like Orlovsky, but you don't get that same freedom

822
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: that you have at the Mothership when you're gonna work

823
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: for Football Night in America. That's the big difference there.

824
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: And then I see, you know what Amazon's gonna do

825
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: with their studio. Kay Adams will be one of the

826
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: co hosts, and I'm guessing Pat McAfee that's a hot property.

827
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: Now can Kay be the host and McAfee the co

828
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: host because you got to have somebody who can kind

829
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: of land the planes there, and Kay's done that before

830
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: where she can guide everybody. But you got McAfee there,

831
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: he'll be a flamethrower and it could be fun. I

832
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: met with the Amazon people at the beginning of this

833
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: when they were first in the in the mix of

834
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: trying to get this, and they wanted to bounce some

835
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: things off of me, and I said at the time,

836
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm too old for you. You need to have a

837
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: younger look at all these shows, go younger, be different,

838
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: And you know, to their credit, they were like, hey,

839
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: you know, we're open to all to the and they

840
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: would ask people, they'd ask what I thought of certain names,

841
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: and McAfee's name did not come up at the time

842
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: or Kay Adams. But I just said, if you have

843
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: younger now, you're different than the other pregame shows and

844
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: your approach should be different. And if you bring in

845
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: k and you bring in McAfee, I think that's a

846
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: great start. You know, you gotta have Marshawn Lynch or

847
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Richard Sherman. I think you could do

848
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: something that is unique where you got players who played recently.

849
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 1: Most of these shows, everybody you know it's been years

850
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: since they played. And having that younger approach here I

851
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: think would be smart. Adam in South Carolina, Hi Adam,

852
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: best and worst for the weekend, Hi Dan, Hi Adam,

853
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: five eleven, two fifty. Thank you. So I got the

854
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: best and worse for you. Worst being the Mets finally

855
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: losing their first series of the season. And then the

856
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: best would be the New York Rangers. I mean, coming

857
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: down in three games to win it in game seven

858
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: and overtime. I'm just unbelievable. And as they say, there's

859
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: no quit in New York. All right, Well, thank you Adam. Yeah,

860
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: the Rangers against the Penguins. You know, these elimination games

861
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: came from behind. Three of those games, Sean and Oregon. Hi, Sean,

862
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Morning, guys, morning, Best and worst.

863
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the best was Michael Jordan's car with

864
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: the jump Man logo getting to win in Kansas this weekend.

865
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: That was pretty awesome. And that's a feather in his cap.

866
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: He's really really stepped on the stage and doing what

867
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan does. He's a winner. And the worst of

868
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: the weekend is those sorry Suns. I mean that's that

869
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: always scored twenty seven points in the first half. Lucas

870
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: scored twenty seven points in the first half. And the

871
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: main thing was your two best stars, Devin Booker and

872
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 1: Chris Paul always scoring eleven and ten points. You name

873
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: me the last time your two stars only score that

874
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: little in an elimination game Game seven. If anybody else

875
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: did that, they'd be getting thrown under the bus. Well,

876
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: they're getting rough shop. I mean, this is nationally, this

877
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 1: is a big story. I'm sure it's really tough locally

878
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. You know, Milwaukee, maybe not as much because

879
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: you did win the title, you didn't have Chris Middleton.

880
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: The Suns don't have excuses. Milwaukee can say, look Boston

881
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 1: was a better team this year. We weren't healthy, we

882
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: didn't have Chris Middleton. That's a big loss for us,

883
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: and maybe with Chris Middleton it doesn't go to a

884
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: Game seven. But the Celtics did what you want out

885
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: of good teams, great teams. They come up big in

886
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: a game seven Phoenix at home, and you can't. It's

887
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: one thing that you go, Okay, Luca's going to get

888
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: his points. You gotta play defense on everybody else. And

889
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: that's one of those where you see a team just

890
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: give up, where they're like, we're down forty two. We

891
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: got we got no chance. I mean, at least Milwaukee

892
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: played hard till the very end. I mean they got

893
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,919
Speaker 1: blown out. They didn't shoot well from three point range.

894
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: But if you would have said you're going to have

895
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: two players score at least thirty points in Game seven,

896
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: that's only happened three other times in a Game seven.

897
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: Two thousand two Conference Finals, Shock and Kobe versus the Kings.

898
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty eight Conference Semis Larry and Kevin McHale versus

899
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: the Hawks. Nineteen seventy one Conference Semis Archie Clark and

900
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: Billy Cunningham versus the then Washington Bullets Baltimore Bullets. Dallas

901
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: became the fourth team since nineteen seventy to have two

902
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: players score at least thirty in a game. Seven Spencer

903
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,479
Speaker 1: Dinwoodie had thirty, Luca had thirty five. Stat of the day,

904
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: saut of the day, that best out of the day,

905
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: stat of the day. Here comes that what stat of

906
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: the day? More phone calls coming up, best and worst

907
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: of the weekend. We have a whose stats would you want?

908
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: We have a new poll question and PAULI has a

909
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: question about getting older. Let's take a break, then we'll

910
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: come back. Not sure how I fit into getting older.

911
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,200
