1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. All right, this

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: keeps up.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: We may have a longer break between the conference finals

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: and NBA Finals than an actual NBA offseason. Celtics are

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: about to get out the brooms. They'll try to tomorrow night.

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: We'll look back at last night and then tonight a

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: big Game three where the Mavericks could take an overwhelmingly

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: huge lead on the Minnesota Timberwolves, or the Wolves could

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: fight back and show some life and get back into

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: the series. That's where we stand as we are broadcasting

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: The Dallas Mavericks are being praised for the moves that

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: they made at the trade deadline carry roads. But in

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: twenty minutes you will tell us the real reason why

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: Dallas is two wins away from the NBA Finals. But

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: we start in Indianapolis. Game three last night, Pacers Celtics,

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: a game where the Pacers led a majority of the

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: way pretty much from start to finish until the actual finish,

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: when Boston ends up taking the lead in the final minutes,

23
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: Pacers blow an eighteen point lead played without Tyre's Halliburton

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: and Boston on the shoulders and the hands of Drew Holiday,

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: especially in those final couple of plays, end up getting

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: a one to fourteen, one to eleven victory, Boston up

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: three to zero in the series, and in a game

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: where we figure that they were going to win, this

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily the fashion that I thought that they were

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: going to win. But in the end, Boston's went away

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: from the NBA Finals. Yeah, this game had trouble written

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: all over it, with them saying Halliburton being now obviously

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: the level of concentration, attention, attention to details, and literally

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: having that killer instinct. I knew that would be an

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: issue in this game once I saw he was out.

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: Boston played with their food way too much this game.

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: They found a way to win down the stretch because

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: they're the a better team. But again, it's kind of

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: it kind of always lends its hands to the same

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: questions and same concerns for us when it comes to Boston, Right,

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: will they be able to play well enough long enough

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: to win the NBA Finals. They've gotten there, they've getting

43
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: to the conference finals, They've shown flashes of really brilliant

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: basketball obviously throughout the year, the best record, all the things,

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 3: but it always sends us down that same path if

46
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: they can get it done. And so they were able

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: to win this one and they're going to sweep Indiana,

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: but it's just so much call to concern with this same.

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 2: Do you think that we know who the Boston Celtics are?

50
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think that we do. I

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: don't know. And this is like in going forward, if

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: Christaps porzingis yes, your buddy ends up making it back.

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: We obviously feel that the Celtics are going to be

54
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: in a much stronger pause position. But I don't know

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: if we've learned anything from these first three series. I mean,

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: I mean, in a series where Jimmy Butler wasn't available

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: for the Heat, here's gonna be a theme. I mean,

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: everybody's talking about it. You know, Donovan Mitchell ends up

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: getting dinged up for the Calves. I don't think that

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: ended up meaning anything in the end. And now you

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 2: have Tyre's Halliburton hurt for the Pacers, which by the way,

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: this is a six seeded Pacers, It's not the second

63
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: seat of Dicks, who, by the way, wouldn't have had

64
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunton available if they would have won that game

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: seven exactly. And who knows if the third seed, the

66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks would have even have gotten to this point

67
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: and what Giannis's status would have been moving forward as

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: he was unavailable to them. It's just been an absolute

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: mess in the Eastern Conference. So in terms of like

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: talking about where Boston is right now, I think it's

71
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: difficult to do. But I mentioned the Bucks, and that's

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: the thing, and it was so on display last night

73
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: of when I look back and I look at that team.

74
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: Here you have the Milwaukee Bucks trying to figure out

75
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: a way to shake things up to try to go

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: and repeat or try to get back to the NBA

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: Finals and win a title like they did in twenty

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: twenty one. Dorian, this is not a Milwaukee Bucks topic,

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: but it is the trade of Damian Lillard that set

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: up a team to win an NBA title. But that

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: team was the Boston Celtics. Yeah, you know, and like

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: in terms of when we look at these dominoes that

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: fall and we're going to talk about the MAVs and

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: talk about those deals. Like, truly, if you look at

85
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: where Boston wins the series, even if they end up

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: not coming through last night, if Holliday doesn't get you know,

87
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: the three point play and the steal on Nemhard, if

88
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't get any of that, I still think they

89
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: probably win the series in five games. But it magnified

90
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: last night. Like what his addition did is Milwaukee had

91
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: to get rid of Drew Holliday to make room for

92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard, which they thought was the right move at

93
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: the time, and then you know gets released what by

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Portland and then picked up by the Celtics, and that

95
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: was the other piece then that came in because when

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: you have enough scoring around him, with Tatum, with Jalen Brown,

97
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: with a healthy Porzingis, and obviously the emergence of Derek

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: white Is, you know, made it even even less of

99
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: a requisite that Drew Holliday be that score. Like when

100
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: we look at all the moves that are made, and

101
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: if Boston makes the NBA Finals and ends up winning

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: the title, it's giving me the Damian Lillard trade that

103
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 2: I think wins it for Boston because of how important

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: Drew Holiday spent for them.

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 3: Of course, And then you get a guy like Jew

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: Holliday in your system. Obviously, in his past and his heyday,

107
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: he can give you twenty twenty a night. He's been

108
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: an All star doing that. But again, you get a

109
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: guy like you just said, you get Jew Holiday into

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: that system. He plays his role, and his role there

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 3: isn't the score, you know, so to speak. He plays defense.

112
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: He's a floor leader, floor general. Perfect guy for that.

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: I mean just his character alone. When you see him,

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: he just looks like a steady enforce and he gives

115
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: that off all the time. And so to have that

116
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: presence and to also have that presence with the accolades

117
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 3: and already winning an NBA championship, he has the pedigree.

118
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: So when things do get rough or the game does

119
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: get a little up and down murky, and you know,

120
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 3: the situation becomes a little tense for guys that haven't

121
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: done it before, haven't been there. To have a guy

122
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: like that that can do that for you, steady the ship,

123
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: make the big plays down the stretch to win your game.

124
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: That's all you can ask for it. And you think

125
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: about who they had before. Marcus Smart similar, but doesn't

126
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: have that championship pedigree, right, and so to have that

127
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: pedigree helps a lot.

128
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: Here he's Carrier Roads. I'm Dan Byer. It is Fox

129
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: Sports Sun. They hit him up at Kerry twenty five Roads.

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox. At

131
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: the start of the series, I told you, I don't

132
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: think we said this on the show last week because

133
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: I feel the series is just starting that point. Well, yeah, yeah,

134
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: because it was game yeah, the Game sevens that were

135
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: last week. It was Championships Sunday Championships on Fox Sports

136
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Radio exactly. You said if the Pacers win, Pacers will

137
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: get one game against Boston. That's it. Now. I said,

138
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: I thought that they could win two games.

139
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: Then you said game seven You said something like Boston

140
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: to give them one, and that could have been the one.

141
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: Like I said, Boston would give them one. Yeah, and

142
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: and I thought that Rick Carlisle would win them one.

143
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: But if they if without Tyree Tyre's Halliburton, that is

144
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm I'm exempt from sticking to my

145
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: pick because I think Indiana could have won last night.

146
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: And let's also be honest, is we're trying to We're

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: trying to get a sense of who the Boston Celtics are,

148
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: and even if Kristaps Porzingis does come back, you do

149
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: have to question how much of a contribution you could

150
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: actually make. For sure. This is a Pacers team that

151
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: had a three point lead with ten seconds left in

152
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: Game one, ended up throwing it away on a bad

153
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: turnover and a huge shot by Jalen Brown. This is

154
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: a Pacers team that led by eighteen in the second

155
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: half without their best player last night. So there's this,

156
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: there is this true jury still out on the Boston Celtics,

157
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: and I think that you can even take these examples

158
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: and don't I don't think that they learn from this carry.

159
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: I think this is who they are. And so when

160
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 2: if they were to go on and face Dallas, so

161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: they would go on to face Minnesota whoever. We assume

162
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: Boston's gonna make it to the NBA Finals. But if

163
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: you get to that point, it's I don't know how

164
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: you don't pick the team from the Western Conference for

165
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: the simple fact of it's not just of who the

166
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: Celtics have beaten and who they haven't had. It has

167
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: been the momentary lapses like most of Game three last night.

168
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: I mean, they're really They played really well on the

169
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: defense for about fourteen minutes of that game, and that's

170
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: and that was enough to be the Tyrese Halliburton led

171
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers team. You're not going to be able to

172
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: do that against either of the opponents of the Western Conference.

173
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: They won't. But the crazy part about Boston for me is.

174
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: When they're at their best, and we don't see that

175
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: all the time, but when they're their best, and they're

176
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: they're top and they're at their top tier effort and

177
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: they're doing everything right and everything's clicking. They're top five

178
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: in both categories offense and defense. So it's not one

179
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: of those things where they have to outscore you or

180
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: they need to be in a slow, grind out game.

181
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: They can beat you in any way.

182
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: And so the only concern I have right now with

183
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 3: Boston if they go to the finals is yes, we

184
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: don't know who they are, that's the big question. But

185
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: we do know who they are when they're their best.

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 3: And the only concern I have is the Porzingist thing.

187
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: If he's not if he doesn't get some type of

188
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: run in and get in shape here and get in

189
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: the game. I know people are talking about keep him

190
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: out if he's healthy for Game four because they'll be

191
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 3: ready for the finals. I understand the thinking of that,

192
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 3: but you need to play as well. So if he's ready,

193
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: he needs to play. So I'm worried about that.

194
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: It's not only for him, for everybody else around him

195
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: to figure out how you're going to manage this, you know,

196
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: And maybe the most important guy last night for Boston

197
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: outside of the plays that Drew Holiday made, was a

198
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 2: couple of plays that Drew Holiday made Al Horford in.

199
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: The seven seven.

200
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you talk about an underrated career, yeah, in

201
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: terms of and when he shows up and what he's done.

202
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: Member of those really good Hawks teams for a while

203
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: back to back in Florida, obviously. Yeah, that's yeah, so

204
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: that you know, Yeah, I was getting to getting to

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: that point, and it's been quite a quite a run

206
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: for Al Horford and stepping up when the Celtics needed

207
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: him the most last night. He's Carrier Roads. I'm Dan Beyer.

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: Doug Gottlieb on the Doug Gottlieb Show that I worked

209
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: with on weekdays here on Fox Sports Radio has a

210
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: line where he goes, feels like this one's kind of over.

211
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: I think he said that after Game one of this series,

212
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 2: and I was like, I don't think he's right to

213
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: used Gottleib's words. Now feels like this one's kind of over?

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: Is it over for the Timberwolves? They're down too old

Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Sunday. The NBA should sell, should sell

241
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: playoff brooms? Where if where you can go online and

242
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: buy like a broom if your team sweeps a series

243
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: like here is the twenty twenty four Eastern Conference Finals

244
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: broom and it's in Celtics colors.

245
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 7: Let's start. Let's start a company there, Let's do it.

246
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 7: I think that's good. Let's do it. Paton Pending, if

247

Speaker 7: you will. Uh, he is the alprom and I am not.

248

250
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 7: Maverick's up two to oh hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight

251
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 7: in Game three of their series. I don't want to

252
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 7: say to to pull back the curtain. I don't want

253
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 7: to give any caveats. You are a Mavericks fan though,

254
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 7: right like this is this is you know a lot

255
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 7: of what you say will be true. But I do

256
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 7: feel like it is necessary for the listener to let

257
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 7: them know that you are a fan of the Dallas Mavericks.

258
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: Don't put that caveat out there, Dan, what are you doing?

259
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just saying, because you're about to heep

260
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of praise on a team that, again

261
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: is two wins away from the NBA Finals.

262
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, So I just want everybody to know how

263
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: special this team is and how how great they've been

264
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: since they all start breaking.

265
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: I think all those things are true. Now.

266
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: I do have an affinity for them because I am

267
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: a Dallas Maverick fan, but I think outside of that,

268
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: when you watch this team play, you have to understand

269
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: the dynamic of what they're doing and how they're doing it. Right,

270
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: their whole identity was offense before before they all start breaking.

271
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: They came after they all star break. They made too.

272
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: They made a trade which changed the makeup of their

273
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: whole team. They bring in PJ. Washington, They're bringing Daniel Gafford.

274
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: They get bigger, They get more athletic, and that's part

275
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: of their new makeup. They playing defense now, and once

276
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: a team starts to play defense, that way, their stars

277
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: have to buy in. Their stars buy in. People said,

278
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: Luca Kyrie can't play defense. They both the two ball dominant,

279
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: they can't make it work. I think all that has

280
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: been put the rest. I think the reason this team

281
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: has won is the dynamic between those two superstars, Luca

282
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: and Kyrie. Kyrie has been, you know, considered a problem

283
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: that most places he's been after his Cleveland days, and

284
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: I think some of that is warranted, warranted it right,

285
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: But for him to reinvent himself and go into a

286
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: situation with another superstar and fit and do the things

287
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: essential to win, to help a team win, it's just

288
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: been way more than admirable. I think it's been like

289
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: it's just been such a beautiful surprise to see for

290
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: him later in his career, the way he's fit in there.

291
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: And I think that's the reason they've won. There's a

292
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: real affinity between those two superstars. You can see them

293
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: embracing after games, you can see them helping each other up,

294
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: and I don't know if some of that is for

295
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: us and for the cameras to see. But it looks

296
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: like it's a real deal. And I love that about

297
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: what this team has become. And now they're two wins

298
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: away from competing at the ultimate level in the NBA Championship.

299
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: I think I think it's one hundred percent genuine. And

300
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: I also say this, and I was doing it jokingly

301
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: in a way, that you're a Mavericks fan, but I

302
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: also that tells you two things. Number one, that you've

303
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: seen a lot of Mavericks basketball this season. But also

304
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: number two, I also think that there are two types

305
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: of fans. Of the fans who think that their team

306
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: is way better than they really are, and then there's

307
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: fans who think that their team is not nearly as

308
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: good as everybody else is saying. I always, I can

309
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: always and the negative in the in the teams that

310
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: I like, in the teams that I follow, but the

311
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: you know, the Kyrie just him and the conversation. We

312
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: even touched on this a little bit last week, and

313
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: if you missed it, just more about in free agency

314
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: of there was actually a dilemma on where he would go,

315
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: not because of all of the options he had, it

316
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: was because of the lack of options that he had,

317
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: and so, like, I don't want to say that Dallas

318
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: fell into him because that was not the case, but

319
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: it was just the fact of here's a scenario where

320
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: Dallas seems to be the only, the only spot that

321
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: he can really go, especially after you know they swing

322
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: the deal to end up bringing him in. There's there's

323
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: a lot to that they are. They are on a

324
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: hot streak because it's not only gafferd and PJ. Washington,

325
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: it's Derek Lively and the tanking that allowed them to

326
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: get Derek Lively, you know, and to to keep their

327
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: top ten picks, so they were able to make that

328
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: draft pick the trade before. Like they have. They have

329
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: hit on everything, and it doesn't hit on everything if

330
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: Kyrie and Luca don't work together all of that, Like,

331
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how good Daniel Gafford did is. It

332
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: doesn't matter how good PJ. Washington is. It doesn't matter

333
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: that they drafted Derek Lively. If Luca and Kyrie are

334
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: not on the same page, none of this is happening.

335
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: None of it works.

336
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: And for them to in such a short amount of time,

337
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: it's still not even two full years yet that they've

338
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 3: been in the same building working together, right, and so

339
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: for them to genuinely start, I mean they genuinely like

340
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 3: each other and you can see it. I mean they're

341
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: doing press conferences together, you know, the other speaks about

342
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 3: the others so glowingly and which it's it's it's charming

343
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: to see and so yeah, man, it's it's been crazy.

344
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: But I also want to give a little credit to

345
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: Jason Kidd as well a lot of coaches in that situation,

346
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: with him being a point guard, both of those guys

347
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: being essentially point guards. To have that relationship as well

348
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: and to see the game from the eyes of another

349
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: point guard and know how to kind of stack those

350
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 3: minutes of being aggressive and knowing when to be aggressive,

351
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 3: knowing when not to be aggressive. I think a lot

352
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: of that goes to Jason Kidd as well.

353
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: Well.

354
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: You also have a guy in Kyrie Irving who once

355
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: said they didn't need a coach exactly in Brooklyn. And

356
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: that's here's the thing with Kyrie and I have. I

357
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: have loved Kyrie's game for so long and he's always

358
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: been in my top four. If you're playing one on one,

359
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: I want him on my team. I don't care that

360
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 2: he's not six ' ten or six eleven. He will

361
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 2: score on anybody, and and it is he truly is

362
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: an unbelievably skilled basketball player. And it's it's proving itself again.

363
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: But what ended up clouding it? I think we're a

364
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: couple of things. There were Obviously his COVID situation was

365
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: one of them. There's also on how he handled things

366
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: in the bubble and not wanting the team to play.

367
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: There was his time in Boston that didn't go over well.

368
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: And then when actually things were good in Brooklyn for

369
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: the small time that they were, he and Kevin Durant

370
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: were getting swept by the Celtics two years ago in

371
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and then in the series where they had

372
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: in the year prior against the Bucks, he ends up

373
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: getting hurt and that kind of derails where they are

374
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 2: they would have won that series probably, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,

375
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: I think that's I think that's fair to say. So

376
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: you have all these things, you have all these boxes,

377
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 2: and you realize that you know, Carrie's been in the

378
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: league for a decade, but you nobody's ever going to

379
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: forget the shot in twenty sixteen. But there were so

380
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: many things that were also going on since that point,

381
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: on the court and off the court, and I just

382
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: mentioned a bunch of them. Yeah that you get away

383
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: from how good of a player you know he truly is.

384
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: And then to see what he said, and I believe

385
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: it was at the end of Game one when he

386
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: was talking with inside the NBA and he said, like

387
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: Charles asked him, like, you need to be a leader,

388
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: and he said that sitting home last year and not

389
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: being in the playoffs, not being in the postseason was

390
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: kind of a wake up call. So he even admits himself,

391
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: it's not everyone else's fault or it's not that the

392
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: world is flat, it's not you know, like, it's not

393
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: like we shouldn't play. He's accepting responsibility of where they

394
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: are and where they weren't, which was in the postseason.

395
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: And again it was better for them to not make

396
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: the play in tournament and go to the playoffs, then

397
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 2: they could keep their first round pick. They added Derek

398
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: Lively and he has been he's been really good for them.

399
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: But it's also Kyrie admitting, like I need to become

400
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: a leader, and that change in the last year or so.

401
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: And I think that's why you've got Dallas now. Two

402
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: wins away from the NBA Finals. Yeah, it's a great

403
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: thing to be humbled, right, I think we all need

404
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: to be humble. Ahead, go ahead.

405
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't No, I don't think he was humbled.

406
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: You don't think he was humbled. I think he just

407
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: grew up that part as well. Yeah, you know, like

408
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: I think there's a difference because there's because you know,

409
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: you'd be humbled if you were swept by the Celtics

410
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, like he and Kevin Durant work.

411
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 2: They were both great in the series, but they had

412
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: nothing else around them. There's there's there're numbers. I think

413
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: they were both scoring in thirty five a game, but

414
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: the nets are only scoring eighty as a team, Like

415
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: it was.

416
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think it was sort of that thing.

417
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: I just think that he grew up, like at some

418
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: point you all, like I think everybody gets to that

419
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: point where you're just like, okay, it's time to be

420
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: an adulter in this case, time to be a leader.

421
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: And I think that's where I think that's where he got.

422
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: So I don't think I don't think he was humbled

423
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: by the losing. I think he was probably had a

424
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: realization that all right, I'm now now where he is

425
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: in the league again, He's now a decade well into

426
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: the league. Yeah, so this is this is his role,

427
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 2: his opportunity.

428
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the when I say humble in the situation,

429
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: I don't mean humble by the losing. I mean humbled

430
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 3: by life and experience. No, sure, okay, yeah, that's what

431
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean. Yeah, And so there's a level of getting

432
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: knocked down in real time, and especially for a pro

433
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: athlete like that who's obviously being monitored and watched a

434
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: lot of their lives and a lot of their time

435
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 3: during the day, so the mistakes that they make are

436
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: in real time and we see them, whereas a normal

437
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: human being that's not in the spotlight every day has

438
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 3: those same things happening and go through the same experiences,

439
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: but people don't know about them, right, And so for

440
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: your information to be made public like that, you have

441
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: to be aware of it.

442
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: And if you don't give.

443
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: The respect to being in that public spotlight and creating

444
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: it and creating the atmosphere that this thing is not

445
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 3: just about me, it's not just about what I feel.

446
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: Because if you think that you're going to say some

447
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 3: of the things that he says, and people are going

448
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: to take it the way they take it. There's a

449
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 3: there's a situation where if you're humble with that and

450
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: understand that the perspective is bigger than mine, then you

451
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: can change the course of how you respond and hy

452
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 3: to wack to certain things.

453
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what I mean about it. I'll

454
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: also say this because the conversation is there. You hear

455
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: it on the broadcast talking about this is the greatest

456
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: offensive backcourt that we've seen in the history of the NBA,

457
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: and the reason the reason for it is Kyrie's change.

458
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is because I think

459
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: it would have been difficult when you talk about offensively

460
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 2: and who they are, and maybe it's how these two

461
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: play off of each other, but I just think it

462
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: would be difficult to find a better one than James

463
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 2: Harden and Kyrie Irving, Right Like when you think of

464
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: like of what they actually do and what they did,

465
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: but at no point did we ever even think of

466
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: that because of how they did or didn't play well together,

467
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: how things did or didn't go well in Brooklyn there, Like,

468
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: there's the positions that they actually played. But if you're

469
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: to find two offensive. You know, the two of the

470
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: best offensive players of the past twenty years in their

471
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: individual games, I think you would have to put James

472
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: Harden in that conversation just didn't work in the team aspect.

473
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 2: Now it's working with Luca and we see what Luca does.

474
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: Leads a league in scoring, and is is great and

475
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: it is better than what it would be. But we

476
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: didn't even have that conversation, Like it wasn't even a

477
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: thought process. And maybe we're just prisoners of the moment now,

478
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: but it's really tough to argue considering how good those

479
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: two have been.

480
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: Dan, let me ask you a question really quickly, the

481
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: uh that question, that backcourt question.

482
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: Who do you think do you have? Do you have

483
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: uh all time favorite? I was I was running, like

484
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it last night and I'm like, who, Like,

485
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: is there anybody that that I could, you know, put

486
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 2: up against it? Yeah, And I do think like and

487
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: I'm and I'm thinking championship teams, you know, I'm trying

488
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 2: to think Stephen Clay was the obvious other one that

489
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: was brought up, Yeah, in terms of and I think

490
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: that's very fair. But I think the funny thing about

491
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: that is Staph could get knocked on this defense, but

492
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: clayon Clay was was magnificent on defense. So when you're

493
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 2: just talking straight offense, not that they weren't, like obviously

494
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 2: Curry's transcending what he's done in the game, and Clay

495
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: pretty darn good in his own right. Yeah, that would

496
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: that would that would be the one that would I'd

497
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: probably stack up.

498
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: Why does Clay not get enough attention now because of

499
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 3: how bad he is now or how far how far

500
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 3: he fell off the cliff right now, or people don't

501
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: really think about him as being one of the best

502
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: two guards ever in theory, we know he's a good

503
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: two way to two guard, but do you think he's

504
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: what is he rank?

505
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: I know we're going off a lot. No, I'm fine

506
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: with it. I I I think it's I think it's difficult,

507
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 2: and I don't think he played in the shadow, but

508
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: of who Steph is to be along alongside that, like

509
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 2: like Joe Dumars is probably a way better player, and

510
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: we thought Joe Dumars is really good and locking up Jordan,

511
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 2: but then you're also playing next to Isaiah Thomas a

512
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: little bit like like, so there's there's some of that

513
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 2: like there's you know, Dumars has his moments, You're like, wow,

514
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: Joe Dumars. And I almost feel like it's the same

515
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: thing with Clay because then Steph goes and does his thing.

516
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: But that's that's kind of I would say, probably because

517
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: he and Steph have been on the same team. And

518
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: here Luca comes from one way and Kyrie comes from

519
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 2: the other way and they end up joining forces, and

520
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: we look at it. We've seen both their individual ground. Yes, yeah, yeah,

521
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: I think that's probably why we've done so. I don't

522
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: think it's as much as I think. I will say this,

523
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: I do think that we will appreciate Klay Thompson more

524
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: and more, uh over the years for what he's done.

525
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: I could be completely wrong about that. Maybe we'll go

526
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: and forget what he's done. But defensively, I mean, there's

527
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: he's better than all, you know, all three of the

528
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: other guys that we're talking about. He's carry I'm Dan Byer.

529
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: Let's jump over to the news desk, guys, he glowing

530
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: crown is giving us the latest, and then we'll talk

531
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: about somebody who is not happy in the WNBA.

532
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 8: What's going on, Isaac, Good morning, Dan and Good morning

533
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 8: to you, Carrie. We start in golf, where today the

534
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 8: parents of two time PGA Tour winning golfer Grayson Murray,

535
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 8: who died yesterday morning at the age of thirty, issued

536
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 8: a statement through the PGA Tour announcing that his cause

537
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 8: of death was by suicide. Eric and Terry Murray said

538
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 8: in the statement, quote, although he took his own life,

539
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 8: we know he rushed peacefully. Now please honor Grayson by

540
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 8: being kind to one another. If that becomes his legacy,

541
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 8: we could ask for nothing else.

542
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: Unquote.

543
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 9: We have two Major League Baseball games going on right

544
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 9: now in Detroit. The Tigers have a four to nothing

545

Speaker 9: lead over the Toronto Blue Jays headed to the bottom

546
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 9: of the third inning. Tigers scored all four in the

547
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 9: bottom of the second on a two run double by

548
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 9: Hobber Bias and a two run single by Andy Ebanyez.

549
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 9: Coming up about ten minutes from now, the green flag

550
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 9: drops on the greatest spectacle in racing, one hundred eighth

551
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 9: running of the Indianapolis five hundred. Scott McLaughlin holds the

552
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 9: pole position. Coming up today at three pm Eastern in

553
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 9: the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Game three of the Eastern Conference Finals,

554
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 9: from Florida with the Panthers and New York Rangers tied

555
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 9: at one win apiece. Then tonight at eight pm Eastern,

556
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 9: Game three of the NBA's Western Conference Finals from Dallas,

557
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 9: with the Mavericks up two games to none over the

558
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 9: Minnesota Timberwolves. Dan and carry back to you.

559
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Isaac. It is Fox Sports Sunday

560
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: as we're a lot forth Tirech dot Com studios hit

561
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: carry up at Carrie twenty five ro olds. You can

562
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: find me at Dan Byer on Fox. Superstar Dad says,

563
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: I disagree with you. Carrie A by Irie and Luca

564
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: can score in their sleep. They were doing this last year.

565
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: The difference now is you can't score on Dallas. Their

566
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: bigs are too physical, too bouncy on defense in Lobbs

567
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: City type threats on offense.

568
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, I agree with that. I think we were

569
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: just talking about the main reason why they're winning. It's

570
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: the chemistry between their two stars, and I think I

571
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: think that's accurate.

572
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: So, yeah, if there was, if it was oil and water,

573
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how bouncy Daniel Gafford or PJ. Washington

574
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: is and and yeah they wouldn't they wouldn't beat two

575
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: wins away from the NBA Finals, but they they they

576
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 2: did add they did add something to it, for sure.

577
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: I always look at things in ways of of of

578
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: food and when you can end that little bit of spice,

579
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: you know, whether it be salton pepper to make something

580
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: taste a little bit better. Maybe maybe under selling the

581
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: role of Daniel Gafford and and PJ. Washington, but I

582
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: think that could be a similar case of what you

583
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: got with. You know, if you mess up the mashed potatoes,

584
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: no matter how good that salton pepper is or the butter,

585
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 2: the mashed potatoes are still going to stick like it's

586
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: still yeah, it's not going to work. But these are nice,

587
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: creamy whipped mashed potato, right yeah, nah, go down smooth.

588
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: I think everyone is getting fed up with talking about

589
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. I do think WNBA players for a while

590
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: were fed up. But we had heard everybody is weighing

591
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: in on the Indiana Fever guard who got their first

592
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: win of the season on Friday night against the Los

593
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: Angeles Sparks. But Saturday night, the Fever ended up playing

594
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas against the Aces took another l but

595
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: it was Prior to that that Aces head coach Becky

596
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: Hammon made headlines as she had a little bit of

597
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: a presser with Asia Wilson next to her talking about

598
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: the Caitlin Clark drama and what surrounded the superstar from

599
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: Iowa coming to the NBA. Here's Ace's head coach Becky

600
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: Hammon earlier this week.

601
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: We love Kaitlyn Clark.

602
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 10: I think she's amazing. I watched every time I possibly

603
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 10: clear in our league.

604
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 11: Love her.

605
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 10: This has nothing to do We're just doing our job.

606
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 10: We're gonna show up. What's effort on the other team

607
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 10: is on the other team, We don't really care.

608
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna show up and do us.

609
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 10: And so I think this narrative of like everybody, everybody

610
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 10: hating on Katelyn Clark and even the black and white thing,

611
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 10: knock it off. It's not there. So shut down the noise.

612
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 10: And by the way, what is she twenty two? She's

613
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 10: a twenty two year old woman with a lot of pressure.

614
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 10: She's not perfect. She's a rookie in this league, like

615
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 10: back off, back going and.

616
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: Growing just like everyone else.

617
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 12: I feel like that's what people don't give her a chance.

618
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 4: This is growth.

619
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: We tell our rookies every single day.

620
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 9: This is new.

621
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: You're coming into a full another new world.

622
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: It's starting over.

623
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 13: So it's the questions are only annoying because it's like

624
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 13: she's young.

625
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: She's a rookie.

626
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 13: I keep asking us these questions as if she's a

627
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 13: grown ass woman that's been in this league for years.

628
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: Like, no, she's doing her job. We're doing ours and

629
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: at the end of.

630
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: The day, that's how we grow. It is when we

631
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: get better and you do things like that.

632
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 13: So yeah, I'm just exact sit over the conversation because

633
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 13: I know she's exhausted.

634
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: I can't only imagine.

635
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 10: And so far as the charters and that I don't

636
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 10: care if Kermit the Frog made the change, have you been.

637
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: Fighting for this?

638
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 10: I mean, I've played in this league at ninety nine

639
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 10: and we were traveling the same way, and I'm like

640
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 10: I said, I don't really care who's bringing this or

641
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 10: who's bringing the crowds. What I care is that they're

642
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 10: there and they're on eyes and they see how great

643
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 10: women's basketball is.

644
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: That's what I care about.

645
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 10: And that's a mic drop.

646
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. I don't know if we were coming

647
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: from the same place, but I felt like we had

648
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: the same energy. I think as players and obviously as coaches,

649
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: they're asked about it so much or they see what's

650
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: going on. I don't know if Becky Ammond was really

651
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: truly coming to Caitlyn Clark's defense in all of this

652
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: is as much as she just wanted to stop talking

653
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: about Caitlyn Clark and I don't And what happens is

654
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: I think she's She's obviously frustrated with where the discourse

655
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: is gone. And Angel Wilson was so frustrated she dropped

656
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: twenty nine to fifteen last night, and Caitlin Clark had

657
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: just eight points, going two of eight from the floor

658
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: in twenty nine minutes. The way that Becky Hammond spoke,

659
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: you can feel the emotion, and I think that's how

660
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: a lot of us are feeling when it comes to

661
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: this drama always surrounding Kitlyn Clark and the Indiana Fever

662
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: Star guard. Yeah, it's a lot.

663
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: It is draining and for her to literally have come

664
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: from a NCAA Championship final in less than a month,

665
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: maybe be playing professional basketball, and you know, expect it

666
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 3: to be the face of a franchise, in the face

667
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: of a league at twenty two. It's just not going

668
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: to happen, right, It's not going to happen instantly. I

669
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: don't care how good a player any of these players

670
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: are on any level. Once it comes to the pro game,

671
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: there's a right of passage, the right of passage that

672
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 3: has to happen. And right now she's going through that.

673
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 3: She's going through the bumps, bumps and the ebbs and

674
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: flows of coming a professional and being becoming a really

675
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 3: good professional. Let her give her the grace to do

676
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: that and stop anointing anointing her. And I know those

677
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: established WNBA players are tired of it as well, because

678
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 3: they've already done the work to be who they are.

679
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 3: So like, lay off that for a little bit. Angel

680
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 3: Reese had a tweet this week that was taken down.

681
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: She also said something yesterday that was very very interesting.

682
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: You're going to hear from Angel Rees and what she

683
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: had to say as she was also getting a taste

684
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 3: of the WNBA and why certain things and certain numbers

685
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: in sports don't really reveal what exactly they should reveal.

686
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: We're going to explain what that means. He's carry roads.

687
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 3: I'm Dan Byer.

688
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 2: That's next here on Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Sunday.

689
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 2: He's carry Roads. I'm Dan Bayer. As everybody is sick

690
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: of talking about Caitlyn Clark, we continue to here on

691
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Hit him up, Carrie at Carrie twenty

692
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: five Roads. You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox.

693
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: Buddy Roy from Kentucky tweets in he feels that Kaitlyn

694
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: Clark talk crementium of the Jeremy Lynn phase of the NBA,

695
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: not that Linsanity wasn't great. I think this is a

696
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: bigger deal. I think it's lasted longer. It started brewing

697
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 2: in her early years in Iowa because we hadn't seen

698
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: women pull up from thirty five feet like Steph Curry.

699
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: And then it just took on a life of its

700
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: own when they upset South Carolina and then the first

701
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: National Championship Game and then all of last season. That's

702
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 2: when it's built up. So I do think that is

703
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: a little bit longer standing than the insanity era.

704
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Lincanity era was actually it was. It was

705
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 3: pretty fun. I didn't get tired. I didn't get tired

706
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 3: of that situation. It was one of those ones where

707
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: it didn't last long enough for it to be irritating,

708
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: and obviously I was still I was still in New

709
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 3: York at the time, so I was there a lot,

710
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 3: so I actually see it and feel that energy there.

711
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: It was, It was fun, it was infectious. Angel Reese

712
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: did take down a tweet earlier this week that appeared

713
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: to be critical of Caitlyn Clark. Angel Reese, there was

714
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 2: something that happened this past week that I'm gonna get

715
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: to in a second because it is connected with with

716
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. But Angel Reese yesterday was fouled pretty hard

717
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: in their loss to the Connecticut son in a game

718
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 2: where angel Reese again was in double figures. This was

719
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: angel Reese after taking a hard foul after yesterday's loss.

720
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: It's not just because I'm a rookie. I'm a player.

721
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: I'm a basketball player. They don't give a damn if

722
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: I'm a rookie.

723
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 14: I mean, I want them to come at me every day.

724
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 14: I want them to come at everybody. I mean, they're

725
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 14: not supposed to be nice to me. I hope you

726
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 14: I know that they're not supposed to be nice to

727
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 14: meet or lay down because I'm Angel Rees or because

728
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 14: I'm a rookie. Like thank you eighty percent of the

729
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 14: message to me because I got back up and I

730
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 14: kept going with to and kept pushing like me and

731
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 14: at have been cool since we were I've been so

732
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 14: I know it's not no harpings, and I appreciate it

733
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 14: for going at me every day incident.

734
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 2: How much do you think that that was directed at

735
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: all of the people who are I guess making excuses

736
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: for Caitlyn Clark or supporting Caitlyn Clark. Do you think

737
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: that those comments by Angel Reese had anything to do

738
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 2: about the conversations that we've had over the last week

739
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 2: and a half in the start of the w NBA season.

740
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: I don't think so, I won one hundred percent think so.

741
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: You think the reporter had phrased it in the question

742
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 2: of like as a rookie, and then she just started

743
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: to go off of like, no, that's not how it is.

744
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: I think it's one hundred percent. I think I think

745
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: that Angel Reyes should lean into the villain role in

746
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: terms of we're still talking, you know about her, and

747
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: she's had a good start to her WNBA career. But

748
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: I think that was one hundred percent directed at the

749
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: conversations about Kitlyn. Wow.

750
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: Do you think that I it might be, it might

751
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: be a veiled shot at it, but I think she's

752
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 3: also trying to identify herself and I think distinguish herself

753
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 3: from Caitlyn.

754
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: Clark, right.

755
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: I think that I think that could be a converse

756
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 3: surrounding that. For me, it's like they've been grouped together,

757
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 3: you know, because of what happened in their college days.

758
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: And obviously they tried to pit it as a rivalry,

759
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 3: which I mean they only played once twice, yeah, and

760
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: consecutive years back to back, and so they don't really

761
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: have a real history beyond that. So but being you know,

762
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 3: coming out in the same year, being in the same

763
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: draft class, they're going to be put together for a while,

764
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 3: and so I think she may be trying to distinguish herself.

765
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 3: But maybe maybe maybe you're right there. I didn't look

766
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: look at it that way, but maybe I should.

767
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: There was a tweet sent out by Michelle Steele of ESPN,

768
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 2: and Michelle Steel does a does a great job, but

769
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: it was the wording of this tweet that that bothered me,

770
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: and it was the fact of it. I think that

771
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 2: we we all can sometimes tend to do this. But

772
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 2: the tweet was about Angel Reaes making your home debut yesterday,

773
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: which which what that sound bite was after after that

774
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 2: loss to the Connecticut Son and the tweet said, the

775
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 2: only player in this year's rookie class to score and

776
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 2: double digits in every game so far, Angel Reese is

777
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 2: maximizing her time in the WNBA and beyond. And this

778
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: is the part of it is that drives me crazy,

779
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 2: is what kind of status that that the only do

780
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 2: you know how many games that they played at that point?

781
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: They played three games, so we're three games and she

782
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: was the only rookie, Yeah, the only rookie in the

783
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 2: WNBA to score double digits in every game. Her high

784
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: was thirteen, like, so it wasn't like she had twenty

785
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 2: two and eighteen and twenty one. But it is an

786
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 2: indirect response to Caitlin Clark, who's had the roller coaster

787
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: twenty points eight points, you know, twenty points eight point like,

788
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: That's that's what it is in response to. So even

789
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: when people like there's a people may think that there's

790
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: an over correction in giving Caitlyn Clark the benefit of

791
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: the doubt, but there's also this other complete overc as

792
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 2: well in trying to say, look, we're not. We don't care.

793
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 2: It's not just only Caitlyn Clark. But then you're using

794
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 2: that sort of language to boost up everybody else. It's

795
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 2: such a weird dynamic. Yeah.

796
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: I think those some of those players are definitely deserving

797
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: of the praise they're getting, and I think the undervalue

798
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 3: of some of the players outside of Caitlyn Clark is

799
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 3: probably an issue for them, and so they're going to

800
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 3: try to find any way they.

801
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 2: Can to get the other guys and other women involved.

802
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: It's cherry picking stats, and later on on the show

803
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: today we will cherry pick stats of one Carrie Rhodes.

00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: put up or shut up, or maybe just grow up.

818
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: get off my lawn guy, Carry Rhodes. I do not

819
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: want that at all. When people say that, that means

820
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 2: that's what they're saying, though, Dan, this is not the case.

821
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: Because I love what Anthony Edwards does on the court, yep.

822
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 2: And I think that Anthony Edwards is so unique, and

823
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 2: I think many other people have seen that so much

824
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: so that they were drawing comparisons to Michael Jordan. And

825
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if those comparisons are really fair to

826
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards. In fact, they're not fair to Anthony Edwards.

827
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: But this is not me being a hater. This is

828
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: not me being a get off my lawn guy. This

829
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 2: is me being someone from a ways away in distance,

830
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: in seeing something in a player that is truly special,

831
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: in not wanting to see it go wasted. Okay, that's

832
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: where this is from. Okay, that's the point where I

833
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 2: am starting with all of this. Yeah, I sent you

834
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: a sweet as we go back and forth during these

835
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs, and it was pointed out specifically by Dave

836
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: mcmahamon of ESPN, who said that during the time Anthony

837
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 2: Edwards was checked out of Game two in the fourth quarter,

838
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 2: from just under eight minutes to five and a half minutes,

839
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 2: he put on a face mask to receive oxygen in

840
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 2: the tunnel by the Minnesota bench. Right now, that may

841
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: seem like the guy is working. The guy is. The

842
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,839
Speaker 2: guy is doing excuse me, what he needs to do,

843
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: and the guy is doing it on the offensive end,

844
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: and he's doing it on the defensive end. But at

845
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: the end of the game, when Anthony Edwards needed to

846
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: be there for his team, he was gassed, right He

847
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: was gassed in Game one. And so now you're saying

848
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: to yourself, how when you're in the Western Conference finals,

849
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 2: have you run out of gas? And I think it's very,

850
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: very important to realize the history of Anthony Edwards because

851
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 2: this is what I mean by grow up, and there's

852
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 2: a lot with Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards was reprimanded once

853
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 2: for making a homophobic slur on a video, apologized for

854
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: that last year at the end of the playoff lost

855
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: to the Denver Nuggets, ran off the court through a

856
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: chair in the tunnel. There was an incident following that

857
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: not bringing these up to be Gotcha's just telling you

858
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: that it's time to grow up. And one of the

859
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: biggest things that we fall in love with Anthony Edwards

860
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: that we probably shouldn't fall in love with Anthony Edwards

861
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 2: is Anthony Edwards talking about his love of certain foods.

862
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: This was from February of twenty twenty two. Anthony Edwards

863
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: about the start of press conference but instead would rather

864
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 2: talk about Ronald McDonald.

865
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: What's that next?

866
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 15: You?

867
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: Hello, y'all, don't ask no questions. Say, I'm trying to

868
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: put an order in McDonald's. There, what's what's hello?

869
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 14: Hold?

Speaker 1: I got one more named Cheeves? Oh hello, way crusts,

871
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: no ice?

872
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: Okay, there's there's Anthony Edwards ordering McDonald's mcchickens, Yes, chickens,

873
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: all right, Okay, yeah, don't worry. Uh uh this was uh.

874
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: This is Anthony Edwards a few years ago as well,

875
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 2: talking about the uh, the wonderful cuisine that I definitely

876
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: love Popeyes.

877
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: Do you have Popeyes?

878
00:44:59,440 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 14: Aunt?

879
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: Yeah?

880
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 13: Man? I had frost they too.

881
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: All right, So this this is Listen, everybody's laughing because,

882
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 2: guess what, it's funny. It's a young kid, but this

883
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: is also a team Timberwolves at the time that are

884
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 2: trying to make their way, trying to build up, make

885
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs and have a run. Now it's a little different.

886
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: Now you're contending for the Western Conference and you're a

887
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 2: three seed in the Western Conference. Times are different now,

888
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 2: back then, it's funny. Funny.

889
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: Yes, someone who wasn't.

890
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: Laughing last year when those comments were made about popeye'es

891
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: was Karl Anthony Towns.

892
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 15: And was just telling us that he puts a lot

893
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 15: of this on him and he's got to be better

894
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 15: in back to backs that he has not done that

895
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 15: so far. Can you help him through that? Or just

896
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 15: is a a young player trying to figure out what

897
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 15: to do in this league and how to how to

898
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 15: answer the bell two nights in a row.

899
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, maybe I could do a better

900
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 11: job of teaching him how to take care of his body,

901
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 11: you know, dying everything. So I'll be on me. I

902
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 11: know y'all think it's funny up here when he talks

903
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 11: about pop Eyes and all that. You know that that doesn't.

904
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 11: That doesn't make me happy to hear. You know, we're

905
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 11: high level athletes, so you know I gotta work. I

906
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 11: got work too too. But also you know it falls

907
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 11: on me too. You know, throw cliche, you know it

908
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 11: falls on you. You know, everyone wants to take the blame,

909
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 11: but you know it's.

910
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: All over it.

911
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: So that was Karl Anthony Towns. Wow, yeah, weighing on

912
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: his teammate. That was last October. This is the previous season.

913
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: So this now is Anthony Edwards talking with GQ magazine

914
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 2: and a profile done with GQ about his love for

915
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 2: another stack another snack, Chester hot fries.

916
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 13: I mean since I was probably like five years old,

917
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 13: I preferred these over eighty chips in the world, probably

918
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 13: like three days.

919
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 2: You do the math?

920
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: Is that twenty one bags?

921
00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? He probably more depending on how long I Okay,

922
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: So I started off as like, get off my lawn, guy,

923
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 2: now do you see where I'm coming from? When? And

924
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: and the point is is we laughed. I laughed at

925
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 2: all this. Yes, like gosh, he eats like me, you know,

926
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: like it's you know, like not twenty one bags of

927
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 2: Chester hot fries. I was like, okay, that's like but

928
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 2: he is a top, top level athlete. And even though

929
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 2: we've heard that Anthony Edwards has done better with his diet,

930
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert made some comments, you know, during the season

931
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 2: that that anth has gotten better. It's difficult for me

932
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: to forget that when he's getting oxygen during the timeout

933
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 2: or during when he's not in the game in the

934
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: fourth quarter because he's completely gassed. Like that is the point.

935
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 2: That is the point that I bring up of why

936
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards needs to now become a professional. And listen,

937
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen in the next two weeks. No,

938
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 2: it has to happen this offseason, whether it's then being

939
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: around Tamosa or finding out this is the point. Your

940
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 2: team has arrived. You have arrived. Now is your time

941
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: to become that guy. That's why I say Anthony Edwards

942
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: needs to grow up become a professional. His personality is magnificent,

943
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: it truly is. And we laugh and we have fun,

944
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 2: but we're also laughing at what's your favorite Popeye's order?

945
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 2: You know, where do you rank their fries? Where you

946
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 2: know you get mcchickens and twenty one bags of Chester

947
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,399
Speaker 2: hot fries a week, Like all of that is ha

948
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 2: ha ha, until you're gassed in the fourth quarter of

949
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 2: a must win game in the Western Conference Finals. That's

950
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: why I say about Anthony Edwards, it's time to become

951
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 2: a professional. Because what goat carry Roads do we look

952
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 2: at and say, you know what, they could have gotten

953
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: more out of their career, maybe maybe Tiger Woods without

954
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: the scandal and injuries. But you are never questioning his

955
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 2: work ethic. You're never questioning Michael Jordan's work ethic. You're

956
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: never questioning Lebron James's work ethic. You're never questioning Tom

957
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: Brady's work ethic. You are never questioning that if you're

958
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 2: gassed in the fourth quarter, like and now's the time,

959
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: by the way, like this is, you're still young in

960
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: your career, you're about to take off. That's why Anthony

961
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: Edwards needs to be a pro and Anthony Edwards needs

962
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 2: to grow up to become the great one that he

963
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: could possibly be.

964
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always you live by the sword, you die

965
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: by the sword. So the stuff that we respect about

966
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 3: him and admire about him, his openness, his candidness, it's great.

967
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 3: But in the same breath of those those words that

968
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 3: I just said about him, can be the reason that

969
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 3: we pick him apart as well. And so when you

970
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 3: talk about growth and talk about being starting to mature

971
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: and understand that, yes, we want you to be you

972
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 3: because that's what we fall in love with you about.

973
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 3: But you have to understand that people are laughing and

974
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: key King and Hahan with you in those moments, but

975
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 3: in the same breath they can use that against you.

976
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 3: And I think that is a part of growth, that's

977
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 3: a part of maturing, but also with his work ethic

978
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 3: and the stuff that he needs to do to become

979
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 3: a better player and have the energy and not be

980
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 3: gassed in these situations. A lot of that stems from

981
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 3: when he got there. That team didn't have anybody that

982
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 3: was a leader on that team or a guy that

983
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 3: you can be like a super vet where not to

984
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: have Mike Conley, a guy that's a strong voice in there.

985
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 3: You said you played the bit of Karl Anthony Townell

986
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 3: talking about it like people are starting to recognize that, yes,

987
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 3: this is funny, but you better understand that people will

988
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 3: talk about it like this and it's warranted it.

989
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: It's not like a it's not a job.

990
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 3: You're right, those things are out there because you said that,

991
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 3: and so understand that in the same breath word's cute,

992
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 3: it could be damaging to you. And so I think

993
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: he's starting to understand that as good as he looks

994
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 3: and as well conditioned as he looks, the stuff if

995
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: you're putting in your body, we'll damage and harm you.

996
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 3: And I know that coming in as a rookie, I

997
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 3: had a pro that taught me how to do that

998
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 3: right away in Curtis Martin. So like being able to

999
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 3: have those guys there to show you the ropes and

1000
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 3: tell you, hey, I remember making fun of older guys

1001
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 3: before the practice. I would see him over there warming

1002
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 3: up and doing knee jerks and rolling their knees and

1003
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 3: their bad I'm like, what are you doing, Let's go

1004
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 3: play football. But he's like, all right, young fella. In

1005
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: seven years, right, you're going to want to do that.

1006
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 2: There was a bunch of audio on, a great job

1007
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 2: by our staff and Ian and Bo and Chris for

1008
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 2: everybody putting that together. I didn't tell you what we

1009
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: were all gonna play. You were a little surprised that

1010
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 2: it kept going and going. So as a pro athlete,

1011
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: there's a former pro athlete when you're hearing that When

1012
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: did it stop being When did it that audio that

1013
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 2: we just played? When did it stop being funny?

1014
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 11: Oh?

1015
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 2: The first one? Yeah, I'm done. Really Yeah.

1016
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 3: The rest of it's like, I think him trying to

1017
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,439
Speaker 3: be cute. So I don't know if it's I don't

1018
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: even know if it's accurate, to be honest with you,

1019
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 3: I think he's playing up to that, and so he

1020
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 3: got to laugh and people thought it was funny, You're

1021
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 3: cute the first time. So now it's oh, I'm sell

1022
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 3: you what else I can do and I can go

1023
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 3: ahead and drop forty on you, which it makes him

1024
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 3: seem like he's he can do whatever you want to

1025
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: still do what he does. That's what I get from it,

1026
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 3: because why other than that, why would you indulge in

1027
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 3: that conversation?

1028
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 2: So that's what I feel from it. Personally, it's a.

1029
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 3: It's cute and I can do this, you can't do this,

1030
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 3: and I can still go drop forty. So it's it's

1031
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 3: a little bit for me, I would call it cute

1032
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 3: or a little bit of arrogance. I don't think it's

1033
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 3: one hundred percent accurate in what he's doing, So that's

1034
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 3: what I get from it.

1035
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 2: There may be people who are saying Anthony Edwards has changed,

1036
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is a different guy. Yeah, those clips were

1037
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: taken from the last season and then the season before.

1038
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: But there's a couple of things that you need to remember.

1039
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 2: Number One, again, he was needing oxygen during a timeout

1040
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 2: in a fourth quarter of Game two of the Western

1041
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 2: Conference Finals playoff game. He was gassed in game one.

1042
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: This isn't, by the way, being gassed in Denver. You

1043
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 2: know why he wasn't gassed in Denver because he wasn't

1044
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 2: chasing Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic around even in the

1045
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 2: thin air. He didn't have to. He didn't have to

1046
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: worry about that sort of stuff, so you weren't getting gassed.

1047
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: But what that says is if anybody wants to say, well,

1048
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 2: yeah you got to chase Luca and Kyrie, of course

1049
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 2: you're going to be tired. That's now your bar. That's

1050
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 2: who you are trying to pass. And it reminds me

1051
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 2: of when Michael Jordan in the late eighties was getting

1052
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 2: the crap kicked out of him by the Detroit Bistons.

1053
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 2: Jordan says, you know what, I need to get bigger

1054
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: and stronger. I need to build up. I need to

1055
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 2: put muscle mass. I need to be able to handle

1056
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 2: these beatings because you know why, I have to get

1057
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 2: through Detroit if I want to be an NBA champion

1058
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 2: and then on my way to the greatest of all time.

1059
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 2: And he did that. And that's the message to Anthony

1060
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 2: Edwards is like, now is the time. It may not

1061
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 2: work out this series, it may not happen, but next year,

1062
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: if you make it back to the Western Conference Finals,

1063
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: you can't be gassed in the fourth quarter in games

1064
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: one and two. Yeah, that is just you can't do that.

1065
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 2: So for the problems that that Minnesota is having and

1066
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 2: not being able to close out the game like they

1067
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 2: did against Dallas in Game two, Anthony Edwards needs to

1068
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: bear that responsibility. This is just a blip on the screen.

1069
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 2: He's now got a decision to make. You can go.

1070
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 2: You can go this way, or you can continue to

1071
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 2: go that way the way that you're going. And that's

1072
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: why I say Anthony Edwards needs to grow up and

1073
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 2: become a professional. I love it, No, I agree with you.

1074
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 3: It's it's like I said, it's all cute and fun

1075
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 3: and fun and games until you meet somebody that's up

1076
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 3: to up to your skill level and up to par

1077
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,759

1116
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 2: this is a tough one to build out, because I

1117
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 2: want to make it relevant. I want to make it timely.

1118

1209
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: of marsh and I'm trying to think, could it maybe

1210
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: be No, Detroit, Cleveland wasn't around that much.

1211
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:22,880

1212
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 2: that one?

1213
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: That might be a good one. Actually, Dallas San Antonio,

1214
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: I think I think you're onto something there.

1215
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 2: Is that what you want? Mav Spurs, Bo Benson, Kevin Wyret?

1216
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:36,479
Speaker 2: You want to tell what you about Kevin?

1217
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 16: I'm guessing the Bulls and Pistons in the eighties because

1218
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 16: I know Michael Jordan had an issue getting was that

1219
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 16: in the conference finals?

1220
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 7: Though?

1221
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 3: It was conference finals? Probably, but it was like, yeah twice?

1222
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 3: Was it three times? It was three times?

1223
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Well, it'd be the East sometimes it would be Pistons

1224
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: and Celtics. Fact that would show up too.

1225
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 12: If we're doing conference finals, I would I would have

1226
01:02:54,320 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 12: to think the Lakers somewhere. Yeah, maybe the Lakers Spurser's sons.

1227
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Did Houston end up playing a lot.

1232
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,439
Speaker 2: happened four times, nineteen eighty five, two thousand and nine.

1233
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 2: I would have never thought that nine, yeah, twenty twenty

1234
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 2: and last year, I never thought that one. No, no,

01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: We feel good about Boston film for sure.

1238
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:42,840

1241
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 2: you are on the scent, like figuring this out. You're

1242
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 2: not off on some wild trail.

1243
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: This is tough. It's over eras. And I think like

1244
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: when we start thinking, like you know, MAVs and Spurs

1245
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: were spending thinking of a specific era. But as Dan

1246
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: brought up with the easy button, that's that that Nuggets

1247
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,200

1253
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,360

1355
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 2: want you to stay in on this conversation. I want

1356
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 2: to get Ball and Chris's thoughts as well. I'm gonna

1357
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 2: start out with Kerry Rhoads. Last night, Arizona won the

01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: That's it.

1361
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 2: That is over. What are you going to miss about

1362
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 2: the the PAC twelve? Pac ten? Now that that conference, well,

1363
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,720
Speaker 2: it may exist in some form, but it's not going

1364
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: to exist. Like we on the knew it right and

1365
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 2: loved it. What are you gonna miss about the PAC twelve?

1366
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 2: Me personally, personally, not much. I don't have much history

1367
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 2: with the BACK twelve. I mean, I'm a Southern boy

1368
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,639
Speaker 2: and you know, was a part of.

1369
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 3: Conference USA when I was playing legendary league. Yes, and

1370
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 3: then we went from Conference USA to the Big East

1371
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 3: on my way out, and so I saw that part

1372
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 3: of it. The conference realignment stuff is just confusing. It's

1373
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,719
Speaker 3: it's sad that the history of the granddaddy of them all,

1374
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 3: and you know, those type of conversations are really not

1375
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 3: here anymore.

1376
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 2: So that would be the one. I want Fox Sports

1377
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 2: Radio to put out a graphic with Carrie's picture and

1378
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 2: it's like, what will you remember most about the PAC

1379
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 2: twelve and then just not much, not much. Chris Purfet

1380
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 2: Toledo kid lives out here on the West coast. I

1381
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 2: went to USC What what are you gonna miss most

1382
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 2: about the PAC twelve?

1383
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,719
Speaker 1: Christ A few things. I don't know if he's first's

1384
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: start with basketball because it'll be the least of my

1385
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: list here, but.

1386
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 2: Let's start with the most because we're crunched on time.

1387
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: How about well, okay, yeah, let's well first off, then

1388
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 1: I PAC twelve title hopes and dreams dying thanks to

1389
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: Utah I or late nights, late nights in Corvallis. Pack

1390
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: twelve after dark was a thing and that's just not

1391
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: going to be the case moving forward. And then to

1392
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: go to basketball real quick. Bill Walton, Bill Walton just

1393
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: mumbling over whatever he so wishes. I'm sure he's still

1394
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 1: gonna get work. But when it's not Pack twelve basketball,

1395
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 1: it loses a luster.

1396
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 2: I did have Bill Walton written down as well, Bob Benson,

1397
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 2: he got Southern California.

1398
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 12: Yeah, Pack twelve after dark one. There's nothing like watching

1399
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 12: like a team go into Corvallis or a team go

1400
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 12: into Pullman and have their season, you know, on the line,

1401
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 12: and for whatever reason, that's the night that Oregon State

1402
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 12: or Washington State decided to play the best game of

1403
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 12: their lives. And I do like speaking of those towns,

1404
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 12: I feel bad for those towns that relied so heavily

1405
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 12: on these teams, these big name teams coming into their

1406
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 12: city and infusing them with life. And not that they're

1407
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 12: dead towns or anything like that, but it is different

1408
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 12: when USC comes.

1409
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,759
Speaker 1: Up to down especially those two schools you just mentioned,

1410
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: the Pullman and Corvallis, the two schools who were basically

1411
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: left out of the dance from the Pack twelve.

1412
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 12: And if you're a hater, there is a joy to

1413
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 12: watching a team like Oregon or USC go to Oregon

1414
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 12: State and lose in a game. I remember before I

1415
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 12: went to USC, I got a huge kick out of

1416
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,799
Speaker 12: I think the Mark Sanchez Trojans going up to Oregon

1417
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 12: State and losing a game while they were the number

1418
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 12: one team in the country. That was hilarious to me.

1419
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 12: And so you're not gonna really see that anymore, especially

1420
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:21,839
Speaker 12: where college football is going overall.

1421
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Kevin Wirtt, what are you going to miss about the

1422
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 2: Pac twelve?

1423
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: Definitely the Pac twelve after dark games.

1424
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:27,839
Speaker 2: It's a generation.

1425
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: It really is.

1426
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, even when I lived in North Carolina for a

1427
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 16: few years, I mean, it would be closing time at

1428
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 16: the bar and there'd be a PAC twelve game in

1429
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 16: the fourth quarter. Like it was awesome for us in

1430
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 16: Samniacs who just couldn't get to sleep before two o'clock

1431
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 16: in the morning because I always stayed on West Coast

1432
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 16: time even though I lived out there, so I'd be

1433
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 16: up to one two o'clock in the morning every night

1434
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 16: watching Dodger games or in this instance PAC twelve after dark.

1435
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 16: So that became a big part of my viewing. And

1436
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 16: one Bill Walton is another one who another reason I

1437
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 16: will miss the PAC twelve because of I just found

1438
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 16: him so entertaining and knowing about the Conference of Champions

1439
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 16: and talking so much about that that in itself was

1440
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 16: a big form of entertainments. All missed that part as well,

1441
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 16: and just being a West Coast guy in general. It

1442
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 16: was a West Coast pride thing in major college athletics

1443
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 16: growing up. I was a Notre Dame fan growing up,

1444
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 16: but it was that and the PAC twelve was what

1445
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 16: we had on TV, so that's what I grew up

1446
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 16: watching a lot. It really had a sense of community,

1447
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:25,759
Speaker 16: a sense of pride here on the West Coast because

1448
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 16: it gets overlooked a lot the college football and basketball

1449
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 16: programs out here. I know, the SEC, the ACC, the

1450
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 16: Big Ten, they're great conferences, they have great teams, but

1451
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 16: people overlook the ones on the West Coast. And the

1452
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 16: Pac twelve was always that major conference out here that

1453
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 16: showed they have real football, they have real basketball, they compete.

1454
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: At the top level.

1455
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 16: And now they're just being absorbed into conferences based back east,

1456
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 16: and it just feels like it loses that regional appeal

1457
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 16: sure that really had that they really had for.

1458
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: All my life for centrals.

1459
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely. I'm going to miss the Thursday Saturday college

1460
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 2: asking Like when you would watch, say Oregon State was

1461
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: at Arizona on a Thursday, You're like, okay, well then

1462
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 2: Oregon Arizona is on Saturday, and Oregon State will be

1463
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 2: at Arizona State because the scheduling that they did, because

1464
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 2: everything was two and two. You know, you played in

1465
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 2: Washington on the weekend, or you played in Oregon, you

1466
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,719
Speaker 2: played in the Bay Area. I'm gonna miss that. And honestly,

1467
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 2: and I was told this just the Rose Bowl, Like

1468
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 2: me being a big ten Midwest guy, And I was

1469
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 2: told that the Rose Bowl wasn't the same for the

1470
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 2: last twenty years. Yes and no like, but it was

1471
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 2: still the Rose Bowl. To not have to not have

1472
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 2: Arizona be able to break through and play in like

1473
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,839
Speaker 2: a Rose Bowl, as the PAC twelve champ Er Oregon

1474
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,559
Speaker 2: State like we had, you know, thought those schools had

1475
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 2: come close, you know at times over the past thirty years,

1476
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 2: maybe a one off year here or there. But to

1477
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 2: have those things, just the PAC twelve, Big ten Rose Bowls,

1478
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna miss and anything.

1479
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:51,720
Speaker 3: And even though I say it not much, I said

1480
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:53,839
Speaker 3: the same thing, the granddaddy of last Yeah.

Speaker 2: no one else ever has. My God a lot Fromthtirec

1486
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 2: Thanks to Kevin Wyert, Isaac Loewenkron, Chris Purfett, and Bo

1487
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 2: Bentson for helping put together today's show. Ian Roddy as

1488
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 2: well for doing some of our pre production stuff you're

1489
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 2: gonna hear from Bo Benson in a set carry Roads

1490
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 2: because we are piggybacking off of our conversation earlier. You know, like,

1491
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 2: not all triple doubles are the same, right, thirty three points,

1492
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 2: twelve assists, ten rebounds much more impressive than twelve, eleven

1493
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 2: and eleven. Right, Like it's it's just a different sort

1494
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:42,639
Speaker 2: of story. And there was there was a stat put

1495
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 2: up about Angel Reese's debut in the WNBA that was

1496
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 2: completely intended to take a shot at Caitlin Clark, and

1497
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 2: I thought it was just such a cherry picking stat

1498
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 2: where Angel Reese was the only rookie in the WNBA

1499
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 2: this season to have double scoring in all games. There

1500
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 2: were three games at the time, now four because she

1501
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 2: did have it last yesterday's loss to the Sun she

1502
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 2: had thirteen. So she's still the only WNBA rookie this

1503
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 2: year to score in double figures all game, but the

1504
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 2: most she scored is thirteen points. Like, we're just like

1505
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 2: clearing the top. So we decided here on Fox Sports

1506
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 2: Sunday that we are going to cherry pick stats for

1507
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 2: Carrie Rhodes. All right, let's get the band together. Bo Benson.

1508
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 2: You have some numbers on our all pro safety here

1509
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 2: that very very few can match. Yeah.

1510
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:43,560
Speaker 12: Carrie Rhoads is one of two safeties NFL, one of two.

1511
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 2: All the safeties that have played in the game, only

1512
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 2: two people have accomplished what he's about.

1513
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 12: Three extremely unique. One of two safeties in the NFL

1514
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 12: with ten plus interceptions, thirty five plus passes defended, three

1515
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 12: plus sacks, two one hundred and forty plus tackles and

1527
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 2: all of his teammates and opponents, that would be that

1528
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 2: would that would set you in the one of one category.
