13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: are coming off the fourth of July weekend, and uh

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: oh boy, not a great weekend if you're the Yankees

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 3: or the Dodgers, if you're the two most popular teams

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball.

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: To which the Dodgers, who say, is the weekend over?

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: Is it?

19
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: It feels like Saturday and Friday? Yeah? And can we

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: have a day off? No?

21
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: No, you play tomorrow? Oh great, okay, that's fantastic. The

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: Dodgers lose tonight to the Brewers. They needed a night

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 3: where hey, okay, we got Yoshinoba Yamamoto starting. He was

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 3: just named the All Star Team. Hey, great, he'll be

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: able to give us some length and we can rest

26
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: the bullpen. And Keikey Hernandez can't pitch. He's on the

27
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: injured list, so we can't come in and give you

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: mop up innings. Out, We've got a big night out

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: of Yamamoto, who makes it all of forty one pitches

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: before being taken out of the game, doesn't make it

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: out of the bottom of the first inning, and the

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: Brewers beat the Dodgers, who lose yet again, this time

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: not to the Astros, but nine to one to Milwaukee.

34
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 3: On the flip side, you have the Yankees who needed

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: a crazy play by Cody Bellinger and for the Mets

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: to have a couple innings where they realized, oh, we

37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: don't know how to hit with runners in scoring position,

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: just to avoid being swept at the hands of the Mets,

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: and the Yankees now have fallen out of first place

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: in the Al East. The Blue Jays are red hot

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: and they haven't.

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Lost one again tonight, nine in a row.

43
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: And now you have both team the two most high profile,

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: most popular teams in Major League Baseball, who just met

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: in the World Series a few months ago, and it's yeesh.

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: Which one's in more trouble? The Dodgers are the Yankees temporarily?

47
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: Good news for the Yankees, who are off tonight. Well,

48
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: all their good news is temporary. For the Yankees. There's

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: item one of good news. They were off to they

50
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: didn't play. That's good, they did not lose. Number two

51
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: is they're going up against the Seattle team that often

52
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: doesn't hit, and that's who they're hosting the next three days.

53
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: But then it's the Cubs at Yankee Stadium over the weekend.

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: We've got one week of games left before All Star

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Break and the New York Yankees they are missing. There

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: are holes plural in that roster and it has become obvious.

57
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: And it's not just the injuries. Although, my goodness, could

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: they use a Garrett Cole in the rotation and they could.

59
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: Use Gary Cole in the rotation? Sallow, Peter, what's happening?

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: Did you know we're trying to get batters out instead

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: of putting them on base?

63
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Okay? All right, bye bye, Peter. Uh. Gary Cole, he

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: was the boss in what was the movie? You are

65
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: mister movies? You see every face? Yes, that's what I'm doing.

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: I just did that was Gary. I was trying to

67
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: come up with the title for people to follow along.

68
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: There's no gratis at the bottom of this. Gary cole

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: from West Wing, What am I gonna do? Some people

70
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: probably thought you said, Gary Coleman, what you're talking about?

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: Will Let's say no, no, no. The Yankees are middle

72
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: of the pack in pitching, and the Dodger pitching has

73
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: been even worse this year. Earlier in the show, the

74
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: Dodger tm era is much worse than even the Chicago

75
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: White Sox this year. It's been a problem.

76
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, but here here's the thing. Are you looking

77
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: at both teams? Who look the Dodgers now lost four

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: in a row. The Dodgers are fine. Okay, the Dodgers

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 3: are fine. They ran into it. Not to make excuses,

80
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: but there's times where a team goes through a tough

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: stretch and there's times when a team is boy, it's

82
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: not gonna go like we thought it was gonna go.

83
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: This is a tough stretch for the Dodgers, right because

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: you can say, well, the Astros, boy, all the emotion

85
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: in this series, and the Astros are still hated. The

86
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: Astros have been the best team in baseball for the

87
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: better part of the past six weeks. In fact, this

88
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: is how great they have been. The Mariners are playing

89
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: near seven hundred baseball throughout June into the beginning of July,

90
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: near seven hundred baseball, and they've lost two and a

91
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: half games in the standings to the Astros. That's how

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: good the Astros have been in the last five six weeks.

93
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: You play near seven hundred ball, all right, we're taking

94
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 3: over first place. Now we've lost two and a half

95
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: games in the standings. That's how good the Astros have been.

96
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: The Houston win loss record a month and a half

97
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: ago was twenty six and twenty five. They have gone

98
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: off like part in the Houston analogy, like a rocket,

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: like something from NASA. And even though as you say,

100
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: Seattle has a team and they have in recent years

101
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: actually been to the playoffs and broke that long stretch,

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: Houston is looking like the team that contended year after year.

103
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: And this is without Kyle Tucker.

104
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: Now yeah, oh, this is what this is without Clemmens

105
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: and without it oh sure so.

106
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers look Cody Clements. They don't have Cody Cleves.

107
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: Cody Clements.

108
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: They don't have Kellen Clemens either. So but the Dodgers, yes,

109
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: they have a lot of injuries going on, starting pitch wise,

110
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: which they always have every year. But they're good and

111
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: deep enough that they can withstand almost anything. We saw

112
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: it last year they won.

113
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: The World Series and they ran out of pitchers.

114
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Every other game was a bullpen game for the Dodgers,

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: and they still won the World Series pretty easily. So

116
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: the Dodgers can withstand.

117
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: With some Yankee help. And that gets me. Yeah, well

118
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: the Yankee well yeah, oh hey god, you cover first? Well,

119
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: what do you mean not cover first? I'm the pitcher.

120
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: I'm not going to cover first.

121
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: This is this is a bad stretch. It's a it's

122
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: a it's a rough stretch. But this is one of those.

123
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: Hey when you hear the phrase every team goes through

124
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: stretch like, yes, they do, and this is one of

125
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: those for the Dodgers. But Tyler Glastos because Wednesday or Thursday,

126
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: he's a Wednesday day game. Wednesday him coming back is good. Look, Yamamoto,

127
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: he's an all star. He just had a bad game today.

128
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: It's not like Yamo got hurt and he got anyone

129
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: on the injured list this is just it's okay. The Dodgers,

130
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: there's still twenty games over five hundred their talent level

131
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: that this is why they build a deep team like this,

132
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: because you can withstand times like this. Yes, it's a

133
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: rough time right now, the Dodgers are going to be fine.

134
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: The Yankees completely different story, completely different. I was scared

135
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: of the Yankees the first couple of months because, boy,

136
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: it felt like they're not playing at the level that

137
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: we expect to play at and still have a four

138
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: game lead on all the teams, and these in the

139
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: East wasn't very good.

140
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: At that time. No one was really winning.

141
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: But boy, I was kind of scared at the point

142
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: the Yankees are run, not become the Yankees yet. Look

143
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: what they're doing when Aaron Judge is basically carrying them.

144
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 3: But now now you're getting a point where we're getting

145
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: close to the All Star breaking, you realize, oh wait,

146
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: the Yankees kind of overachieved the first couple months of

147
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: the year, and now they're really missing not having Garrett Cole. Right,

148
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: Max Freed is having a great year, he's an All Star,

149
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: but hey, Garrett Cole being that second guy, that second

150
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: stopper to have in the rotation. That's a big thing,

151
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: and they're missing him right now. And all of a sudden,

152
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 3: the Yankee all Yankee fans who were so, oh, we

153
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: don't need soda. Look at the money we spent. All

154
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: these other guys they're all great. Now they're not great.

155
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: Devid Williams had his issues, Cody Bellinger's been okay, right,

156
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: the guys you spent money on. It's not like everybody's

157
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: been fantastic. Guess some moves have worked out, some moves

158
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: have it. The Yankees aren't a bad team. They're just

159
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: a good team. And you know what, there's lots of

160
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: good teams in the American League. The Blue Jays are

161
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: a good team, right, The Rays, the Red Sox they're

162
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: in they're one of dress. Detroit, well, Detroit's a fantastic team.

163
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: Everybody's looking up and we're gonna say, hey boy, the

164
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Tigers are gonna waltz of the World Series. Right and now,

165
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: the Astros are really good. But then the level below them,

166
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: you have a bunch of teams that are that are

167
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: that are good, that are pretty good, that are playoff

168
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: caliber teams. That's where the Yankees are, right. The Yankees

169
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: are it hey, we're better than everybody. We're at the

170
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: top of the American League. No, they're definitely in that

171
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: second tier of teams. Dodgers are at the top of

172
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: the first tier of teams. Now, could we see other

173
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: teams rising up a little bit, playing better as the

174
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: season goes on and getting close to the Dodgers. Yeah,

175
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: you could see that. Whether it's the Padres or the Cubs,

176
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: or the Phillies or the Mets, whoever it is, you

177
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: can see that happening. But for the Yankees, yeah, they're

178
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: just in that group of four or five teams that

179
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: are that are that are good. I wouldn't be surprised

180
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: by the time we get to the All Star Break,

181
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: which is coming up in a week or so, maybe

182
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: the Yankees even fall out a wildcard position, because they're

183
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: only two and a half games up in the wildcard

184
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: now and they've they're now looking that every other team

185
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: in the American League East. I mean, not the Orioles,

186
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: because you know the Orioles.

187
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: Boy, that's that's that's another thing.

188
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: That's that's a tough thing to see for them. But

189
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: you're looking at, hey, we're only a game or two

190
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: up on the on the Rays and only a couple

191
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: of games up on the Red Sox, and whoa, what

192
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: is happening to us? They're in that mix of those

193
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: teams with the Royals and the and and and the

194
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: and the and the Mariners and as Texas if they

195
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 3: can get things going again, Like okay, this is kind

196
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: of where the Yankees are. Like, the Yankees are a

197
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: team I could say they're in danger of make of

198
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 3: missing the playoffs, whereas the Dodgers. Maybe the biggest thing

199
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: is maybe they don't finish with the best record in

200
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: the National League, which if that's what it is, okay,

201
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: you'll take everything else from that. The Yankee the Dodgers, hey,

202
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: maybe we finished with the second best record. The Yankees

203
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: are maybe we don't make the playoffs. Yankees are in way.

204
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: More trouble than Dogs. That's not hyperbole. They might miss

205
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: the playoffs because the same thing applies to the Padres,

206
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: who I think we all assume with that roster is

207
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: probably a playoff team, and yet the way the Giants

208
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: have stayed in it, the Giants could take the last

209
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: wildcard in the NL. What you were mentioning with the

210
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 2: AL wildcard race is we're past the mathematical halfway point

211
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: of the MLB season at the moment, with three wildcard spots,

212
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: there's realistically four teams going for the three spots. One

213
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: of those four teams is now the Boston Red Sox,

214
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: who've won four in a row. They're gonna get Bregman back.

215
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: They're certainly over the five hundred mark now, and those

216
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: four teams there's a difference of only three games. And

217
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees certainly have pop. You know, they

218
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 2: have the Bronx Bombers history, and there are lots of

219
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: years where the roster, especially with that stadium, it's not

220
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: just Judge popping them out of the park. Trent Grisham

221
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: can certainly give you some pop and has this year,

222
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: but he usually bats under two fifty. Jazz Chisholm. People

223
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: like the style, and he can hit some out, but

224
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: he's hitting under two fifty. Hey, we found Ben Rice

225
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: and he can DH some and he's hitting two thirty,

226
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: so you're getting some home runs there. Austin Wells, Hey,

227
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 2: we had a catcher leading off and hitting it. Yeah, well,

228
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: he's even worse than the batting average. And we talked

229
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: about Anthony Volpe to say the least is not Derek

230
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 2: Jeter hitting two twenty.

231
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but his dad will kick your ass. Anthony Volpi's

232
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: dad will kick your ass in the stands.

233
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: It's what about going up against the Halliburt and dad

234
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: or we can have a grudge match with the two.

235
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm telling you man, Sports Dads is the next great

236
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: if The Real Housewives is a great show and you

237
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: can get but you can get Sports Dads to be

238
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: a show.

239
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: How about in the ring, Like we used to have

240
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: the washed up celebrities boxing each other in the ring.

241
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if i'd want to watch them fight.

242
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: I would kind of want to watch them argue with

243
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 3: each other and then maybe like like like like pretend

244
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: to fight or just kind of slap fight a little

245
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: bit and get you know, and that to be like,

246
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: oh okay, let's let's back you up.

247
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: Like but I would want to see something like that. Well,

248
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: anybody will pretend to fight if it'll get views. Oh

249
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: that's true.

250
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I thought the quarterback fakes, don't we pretends

251
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: that it goes.

252
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: But Volpe's defense and the offense, I mean, I'm sorry,

253
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: you were heralded and you're a local and all of that,

254
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: but that doesn't guarantee you this position on the New

255
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: York Yankees for the next ten to fifteen years.

256
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: Ask Clay bar Torres, by the way, Yeah, I mean, look,

257
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: the Yankees have to get past that. This is this

258
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: is a big thing. The Yankees think, well, the Dodgers.

259
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: Everybody that comes up for the Dodgers hits three point fifty.

260
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: It is great, and it's you know, I've said this

261
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: for a long time. I don't know how this happens,

262
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 3: but James Adam did eventually disprove that. Yes, but now

263
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: he's back up right now, that's yes. But the Yankees,

264
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: it's like they think everybody coming up is that good,

265
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: Like they think every young player that hits the major leagues,

266
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: oh my goodness.

267
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: The Yankees.

268
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I get that the the image of the

269
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: Yankee farm system because it's always been regarded as good.

270
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: For so long.

271
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: Hey, the Yankees trade guys away and not long ago

272
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: become stars, and not Everbeak shows up in the Yankee

273
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: stadium and becomes the next great Yankee player.

274
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: They're still dining out on the great nineties.

275
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: Teams where hey, we brought up Jeter, we brought up

276
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 3: rivera we brought up Attett, we brought up Bernie Williams

277
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: up and now we're weet own series, Scott.

278
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: Brocious and win multiple titles.

279
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gary Sanchez, he's going to be great, and your

280
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: Labor Tours is going to be great.

281
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: And all these guys, they need Marcus Stroman to be great.

282
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: That's what they where they are with this starting staff

283
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: because a guy who was starting to be great, Clark Schmidt,

284
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 2: just got hurt and is out for the year. And

285
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: we mentioned the Garrett Cole injury as well, and the

286
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: injury there was an injury at the beginning of the season,

287
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: and what happened to Luke Weaver as a dominant reliever

288
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: something they found late last year that's gone out the

289
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: door for the moment. So you have Max Freed being

290
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: the All Star he is and Carlos Rodin with plenty

291
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: of good starts, not all of them, but not this weekend. Yeah,

292
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: they're they're missing in the starting rotation as la is.

293
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I look and all the young players that

294
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: just because you keep telling me they're gonna be a star,

295
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: they're the next cheet or the next doesn't mean it's

296
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: gonna happen. And it hasn't and they overvalue their young

297
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: players for a long time, and they've driven to the middle.

298
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: And that's the big thing about the Yankees is that

299
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: they used to be a team that made the big,

300
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 3: bold trades mid season and got out. They're still aggressive

301
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 3: in the offseason now they going out and get players.

302
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 3: And that's great because they've come back to that where

303
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 3: they took a few years off from it. But they

304
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: used to be that team in the middle of hey, okay,

305
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: we're gonna get the guy we need to go win.

306
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: Every year is a World Series or bust year for us.

307
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: We go make the decision to go get a big player,

308
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: we trade a prospect, and they've kind of gone away

309
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: from that, you know. And this is why when I

310
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: look at the Yankees, I go there's no real immediate

311
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: fix for them, even if they get some guys coming

312
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: back to health. They're a good team. Unfortunately, there's four

313
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: or five other teams that are just as good that

314
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: are playing better baseball now. And just to look in

315
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: the rear view mirror and see the Red Sox right there,

316
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: it's like, well, they.

317
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: Were punting on their season.

318
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: They traded their best player, they waved the white flag

319
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 3: months ago and out, hey we are we.

320
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: Got four in a row right back in it. And

321
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: you can't overstate what a sensational week that Toronto Blue

322
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: Jays had, not only getting to first but getting some

323
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: space in the division.

324
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: And who they play for most of those guys forget and.

325
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: George Springer has had a rebirth, and the catchers in

326

Speaker 2: Ullster in the first basement's at Ulster, and they found

327
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: a closer.

328
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,040

386
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: At the Pyramid? Yeah? Yeah, I said, now now it's

387
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: going to be a big deal. Now, bigger deal. I

388
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: remember Kurt Rambus coaching the Lakers summer League team as

389
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: every cool wow when he coached the Lakers with star

390
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: guard Mike Pemberthy, who then became like Lakers eleventh man

391
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: legend Mike pember By the way, I got to mention.

392
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: In a summer league game tonight in Salt Lake City,

393
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: Utah won by a point over Memphis because the grizzly

394
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: Gigi Jackson, who had twenty seven points, he made a

395
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: shot at the buzzer, but his toe was on the

396
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: line a Lah Kevin Durant, and so they ruled it

397
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: a two and they lose one twelve, one eleven. Again

398
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: he had twenty seven points and Jalen Wells had twenty three.

399
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: They were good again for Utah. Ace Bailey teen points tonight,

400
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: Bryce Sensi Ball with thirty seven.

401
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: Wow, he's still with the Jazz a spall. You'd have

402
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: thought maybe a couple of games in a couple hold games.

403
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go on.

404
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: Sunday in the Bay Area. The Lakers beat the Heat

405
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: by twenty and Bronnie James started got about ten minutes

406
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: and ten points. But it was a very bad weekend

407
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: for the former first rounder Dalton connect who disappeared from

408
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: the Lasker rotation at one point last season. Over the

409
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 2: weekend on three pointers, he was of nine.

410
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 3: But it was about Brownie who gave you the highlight

411
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: of the weekend with this doing.

412
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Their coaching staff.

413
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, as speaking up, here's Bronnie James with the

414
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: stale in the slam.

415
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: That's great.

416
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: He's watching somewhere he's fired up.

417
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: Oh there it is the Browny Slamm. It suddenly is.

418
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 2: It's the greatest thing ever Somewhere Cleveland, I believe. Yeah,

419
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: every off season I'll tell you exactly it was. He

420
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: was in Cleveland at the Cavaliers practice facility. We'll get

421
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: to that again on the show. We have to why

422
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: that's a really big deal.

423
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 3: But here's the thing with with Bride right and all

424
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: the trade rumors about Lebron and Bronny had to talk

425
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: about it a lot over.

426
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: The course of the past couple of weeks, he's getting

427
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: ready to trying to get his career going.

428
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: Honestly, now, the best thing for Bronnie James would be

429
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 3: if Lebron James played on a different team. The best

430
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: thing for his basketball development would be for him to

431
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: be on a different team other than Lebron. Right now,

432
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: I get what they did. I get Lebron getting in

433
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: and them playing together last year for a few times

434
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: on the Lakers special, right, we absolutely special?

435
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 2: But now Brown's player. Okay, been in the league.

436
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 3: A year and I got a contract that you know,

437
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 3: the year, very fortuitous contract.

438
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: That likes me to be paid this way. And as

439
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: a union member, he technically was there for a year.

440
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 2: Okay with that contract.

441
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, but for your basketball career, he needs to

442
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: be able to show I can stand on my own, right,

443
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 3: I got to carve my own path. And him playing

444
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: with Lebron, it's gonna be another year of if Lebron

445
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: stays with the Lakers, it's gonna be another year should

446
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: Bronny be playing? Should these minutes be going to somebody else?

447
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: Why is this happening? Why is Bronny playing all these

448
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: minutes here like and all because of Lebron's proximity being Hey,

449
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: this is the team together right there. On the team together,

450
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: there's a lot of there's still animosity towards they shouldn't

451
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 3: be happening. Lebron shouldn't have been able to make the

452
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 3: Lakers draft Bronnie James this year. Stead should not have

453
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: gone on. And look, they had an amazing experience last year.

454
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: We've never seen that before Lebron got him there. If

455
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: Lebron leaves, I can see the Lakers keeping Bron'm not

456
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: gonna tell her, just say okay, Bronni, you're out the door.

457
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: I can see them keeping Bronni because he is a

458
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: guy that potentially could be a three and D guy. Right,

459
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: there's not gonna be any animosity because Lebron's gonna want

460
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: La for his post NBA life.

461
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: Right.

462
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 3: He came out here he wanted to be to be

463
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 3: a Laker because he wanted the Lakers brand while he

464
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: set things in motion for whatever he winds up doing

465
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: post NBA career. Right, he wanted the big city of

466
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 3: LA and he's here. Could have picked New York, but

467
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: in La Hollywood, the production company that he's got, this

468
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: is what he wants so he chose the Lakers for that,

469
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: so we got everything he needs. He also knows I

470
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: need LA for my brand. He doesn't want to walk

471
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: around and be hated in the city that he played

472
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: and doesn't want that. Even though when you're done playing,

473
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 3: you're done playing. So whatever trade that happens, right, whatever

474
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: move that happens, when he eventually wants up not playing

475
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: for the Lakers, it will be very amicable, or at

476
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: least on the surface and publicly, it will be very amicable.

477
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 3: And it's not gonna be to the extent where the

478
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 3: Lakers are going to say, Okay, well we got rid

479
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 3: of one James, now we're getting rid of Bronny. No,

480
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: they'll give Bronnie a chance, but he's got to show

481
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: that I can stand on my own, I can play

482
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 3: and I can earn minutes on a team that doesn't

483
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: have lebron James, because there'd be no reason for the

484
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 3: Lakers to push him out there if they didn't feel

485
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 3: he could he could contribute. And by the same time,

486
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: at the same time, if it's viewed that he can't

487
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: help them, then he would go someplace else, would try

488
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 3: to stand on his own. He's got tape he's been

489
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: in the league, he's made plays, he's had some time

490
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: that might be a bad thing. He's gonna tell you

491
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 3: he needs to be able to stand on his own.

492
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: So if the it wouldn't be the worst thing and

493
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 3: probably be the best thing for his career. If now, okay,

494
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: I'm in the league. Lebron did what he could. I

495
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: got you as far as I could. Now, you gotta you,

496
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta secret swim on your own and did

497
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 3: everything I could. I got you the league, I got

498
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: you the Lakers, I got you, or the story of

499
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: the draft last year, one of the big stories of

500
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: the NBA this year. You've proven that you can play

501
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: at at a at a certain level, you can play

502
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 3: in the NBA. You've had some big moments. Right, you

503
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: got a contract that pays you unlike other second rounders. Hey,

504
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: I got you as far as I could. But another

505
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: year of the two of them playing together, it's just

506
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna keep spinning his wheels. He's if Lebron is

507
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: not here, that would be the best thing for for

508
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 3: Browny's development. Say okay, now I can carve out my

509
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: own ruler. And if he winds up getting minute Okay,

510
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 3: well they're not doing it just for Lebron because he's

511
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: not on the team anymore. Hey, maybe he's earning his

512
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 3: minutes a little bit more. And no matter what, you

513
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: have to at least show that I'm in the league

514
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: and I'm in this league because I can do things,

515
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: and it's not just because of who my dad is.

516
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: So the quicker and faster he gets to that point

517
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: where I can stand on my own, the better it's

518
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: going to be for him.

519
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't mean to bash Brownie James in

520
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: the least. I would probably say similar things about other

521
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: late second round draft choices if I knew their name.

522
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: It's okay.

523
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: JJ Redick will just blame me because he hates me,

524
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: So it's fine. We know that's been proven. Yes, we

525
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: know that's not a clip to prove it.

526
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 2: It's just when you see him play, and I watched

527
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 2: his last game yesterday, for example, it gives you the

528
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: impression that two guard must be the least demanding position

529
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: on the court because in the offensive set, and I

530
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: saw this last year, he winds up standing around a lot.

531
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the height that you would want out

532
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 2: of a guard. He doesn't have the ball skills that

533
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: you would want to play point. I haven't seen the

534
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: consistent defense. He certainly isn't a player in the paint.

535
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: He's not a corner three guy. Usually somebody can establish

536
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: an NBA career doing one of those things, being a specialist.

537
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 2: For years, we have seen guys that are really good

538
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: at three pointers and that's pretty much all they're known for,

539
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: and that gets them jobs for literally seven to ten

540
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: years of an NBA career. I just would like him

541
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: to impress me with something and the clip that you

542
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: played with a fast break steal in a fast break, Okay,

543
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: he's not unique in that regard. Congratulations, we need more

544
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: of that. I don't see.

545
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: The thing is, I don't think he's going to become

546
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 3: a player that does one thing and says, Okay, you're

547
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 3: in because you can do this.

548
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 2: If he if he swims in the NBA.

549
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 3: If if he swims, it's going to be as a

550
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 3: rotation player, maybe the eighth or ninth player that comes

551
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: in and plays a handful of minutes. He can help

552
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 3: you a little bit offensively, help you a little bit

553
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: more maybe defensively, and he's part of that second unit

554
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: that is not going to cost you points to come in,

555
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: can maybe be part of the unit that actually increases

556
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: a lead, right, Like I look at teams like the

557
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: Warriors when they first started their dynasty, when their second

558
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: unit would come in, they would expand the lead by

559
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 3: a couple of points instead of well, now the time

560
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: with Stephan Clay sitting, you're gonna try to get back

561
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: into this one against the Warriors, and instead because of

562
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: Livingston and Inguadala being the more focal point of the offense. Hey,

563
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: you know, they went to the bench with a twelve

564
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 3: point lead. Now it's a fourteen point lead, right. That's

565
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 3: kind of Brownie's. The best outcome from his is he's

566
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: one of those players, a rotation player, an eight or

567
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: ninth player coming off the bench to play a handful

568
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: of minutes to the end of quarters or times of

569
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: guys are in foul trouble, and the end result is

570
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: he plays and pretty as good enough chemistry with the

571
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: other second unit players that hey, would we keep when

572
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: these four guys play together. When these three guys play together,

573
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: our team can and can at least stick with where

574
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: where we're at, if not maybe improve our standing in

575
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: the game a little bit. Maybe we get a couple

576
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: more points, we cut into a lead, or we expand

577
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: our lead by a couple points. But that's really Brownie's future.

578
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: It's I don't think it's more one thing. It's gonna

579
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: be Defensively, He's gonna show you as he continues to

580
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 3: grow that maybe he can be a pretty good defender.

581
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: But just hit a couple, Just hit a three now

582
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: and again, right, make a couple of athletic plays now

583
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: and again, and be someone that affects the box score

584
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 3: a little bit across like That's that and Bronnie's IQ

585
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 3: obviously is really good. So I mean, if if he's

586
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: that kind of player where across the board he just

587
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: does a little bit in each category, that's what I

588
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 3: think more of his future.

589
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: What's bad is that, you know, he's got nothing. He

590
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: can't do anything about this. He's six to two. He's

591
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: a six to two non point guard. Yeah, and you

592
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: know last year, granted it's a rookie season, but I

593
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: looked it up. On two pointers two pointers, he was

594
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: twelve of thirty five shooting, and on threes he was

595
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: nine of thirty two. There's nothing that screams I need

596
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: this guy to be in my rotation. If you're six

597
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: two and not a ball handler and not hitting threes

598
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: from the corner and certainly not anything in the pain.

599
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna say, it's gonna be easy, but

600
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: you got you gotta at least show that.

601
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 3: Okay, now I can I can show you that I

602
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 3: can do that, And the pressure would be would be

603
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: just a basketball pressure on.

604
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be asking answering questions about his dad.

605
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: Worried that that the nepotism thing would come up, like eventually,

606
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: And that's the thing, like when when I was when

607
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: I was coaching Zoe in the entire time, like when

608
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: I when I when she first started playing soccer, and.

609
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: None of those questions came up. High coach, it's good,

610
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: don't don't come up.

611
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 3: That's why the other job, Like I knew in soccer

612
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 3: when we played, I said, listen, I I will coach.

613
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: I can coach you to a certain point, and then

614
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: you need to go for another coach, because another coach,

615
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: as you get older, is gonna be better for you

616
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: because they're going there, they're going to be able to

617
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: get you. They've been they've been coaching at that level

618
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: at a high school type level.

619
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 2: I'm glad a father actually thinks of that. So you're saying,

620
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: finally when she gets to the Cleveland Browns, but.

621
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: She gets to the brown said, somebody's got it's not

622
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: gonna be okay, Shad or just so you know, but

623
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: and I said, softball, I get have you a little

624
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: bit longer. But then eventually, yes, you're gonna have to

625
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: go to another coach. You're gonna have to go and

626
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 3: and not so much stand on your own, but just

627
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 3: get to a point where you're you're getting different you're

628
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 3: getting different coaching, different teachings, you're you you're hearing different things,

629
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 3: and you're becoming a more complete player. And that's kind

630
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 3: of where it went. And and it was and it

631
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: was really good, and we were happy that we had

632
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 3: a really good relationship playing. It wasn't where like, oh

633
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: my god, the coach is always yelling at his kid,

634
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: but it also wasn't all coach is giving his kid

635
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 3: everything to do. Like everything you know, she was able

636
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: to do, she earned. She loved playing, and it was

637
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: It's one of the most special memories I have. But

638
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: I always knew, I said, at some point, you have

639
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: to be on your own with with y'all. I'll get

640
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: you as for you know what, I'll try to show

641
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: you the way as a coach, I show all the

642
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: like I show all the girls. Hey, I'll get this.

643
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: This is this is how the lessons I want to

644
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 3: tell you. And then you have to go play for

645
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: somebody else.

646
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: But unfortunately you opted into your fifty two million dollar

647
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: contract to stand around. So I'm opting, by the way,

648
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: as far as nepotism, people did when the Brownny should

649
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 2: even be on the Lakers, conversation was happening. Bring up

650
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: Ken Griffy Senior played with Ken Junior with the Maritters

651
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: and the King. Griffy Senior not only had been a

652
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: World Series champion, he still hit three hundred for the Mariners.

653
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: He deserved to be on the team.

654
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: I know.

655
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: By the way, Ken Griffy Junior was one of the

656
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: most heralded players in all of Major League Baseball coming

657
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: into the league.

658
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: It's not number one overall. Here's Bronny coming in.

659
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: The second round. This is hey, this is griff coming

660
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: in as the number one pick in the draft.

661
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 2: Not the same.

662
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, so there is an avenue form. But I

663
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: mean to understand that and that might be a reason.

664
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: You know, we talk about Lebron being traded, which we'll

665
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 3: get into more next hour, because there were signs this

666
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: weekend that that absolutely can happen. Is that maybe that's

667
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: part Hey, if I play someplace else, that's going to

668
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: be better for Bronny to get out from under my shadow,

669
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: to worry about basketball, to show that I can stand

670
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: on my own. Like all of those are good things.

671
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: And as a dad, like you want that for your

672
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: you want that for your.

673
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: Kid developmentally, there's no reason he should have been in

674
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: the NBA last year. Well there's one, and that's dad

675
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: wanted it because he barely played in college and it's

676
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: obvious he needs more time. He needed more time playing

677
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: college basketball. Yeah, that not everybody. He doesn't need the money,

678
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: you know, getting a pro contract normally and say, oh okay,

679
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: if you if someone's gonna pay you for a minute.

680
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: But that's more that's more common now where. Look, everybody

681
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 3: could use more college basketball. But I got to get

682
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: the league. If I stay three years, that means I suck.

683
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: If I'm really really good.

684
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: The other guy's dads aren't a billionaire at a future

685
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: NBA owner. He didn't need to come into the league.

686
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: There's only one reason he did, and so Dad got

687
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: his kicks. Congratulations, exit out about a Fresca Jason Smith

00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: Gonna they're going to sit back and they're gonna play

829
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: the safe, road which is The pacers have No, halliburton

830
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 3: The celtics have No Jason, tatum and they're breaking up

831
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 3: that team as it, is Or Drew holliday has, Gone

832
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: chris tops porzingis is. Gone we are the favorites in

833
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: The the minute they Hired Mike, brown they became the

834
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: favorites in The Eastern. Conference And i'm not SAYING i

835
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 3: Mean vegas has them as the favorites in The east right.

836
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 3: Now If cleveland winds up doing, something which we'll get, to,

837
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 3: uh but The knicks are now the. Favorites if everything

838
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 3: was equal and The pacers were coming off IN Nba

839
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: finals And halliburton's, healthy or The celtics with a Healthy Jason,

840
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: tatum The knicks would, say we need. More we didn't

841
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: have enough to get past The. Pacers we didn't have

842
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 3: enough to do. That you, know The celtics are still

843
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: a real. Threat the title window for them is. Open

844
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: we got to do something big and go out and

845
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 3: move on From Karl Anthony towns because, defensively he And

846
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 3: Jalen brunton on the court the same, time don't really.

847
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 3: Work but maybe It's Karl Anthony towns and another player

848
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: For giannis or something. Else but now The knicks are, Saying.

849
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: Okay we don't need to do.

850
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 3: That if we need to do, something we can do

851
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: it at the deadline In. February we don't need to do.

852
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 3: That now we can come into this season knowing full

853
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: well we are the. FAVORITES Ab Mike brown's gonna come

854
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: in and work some. Magic clearly is, defensively he's gonna

855
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 3: make them better, offensively the system that he has is

856
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: gonna work.

857
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 2: With what the personality he needs to do is be

858
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: a coach that plays more than five. Players yeah, no

859
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 2: don't worry it wins.

860
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: Games you Can if you play more than five guys

861
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 3: and don't, win people.

862
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: Are gonna, say just play the five. Guys what are

863
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: we doing? Right clearly they don't run out of gas

864
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: because they are all.

865
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: Right but The knicks are gonna see this as, okay

866
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 3: and a team that can really make a lot of

867
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 3: things happen because they have a lot of high, profile

868
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 3: high priced players with, salary they could make stuff. Happen

869
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: this is gonna be the team that sits things out

870
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: because they're gonna think all the other. Teams The pacers

871
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: aren't gonna go for it because they they're gonna try. To,

872
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 3: okay they've already Lost Miles Turner halliburn's and we're not

873
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: gonna go try to replace him and try to keep this.

874
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: Way we'll wait Till halliburton comes. Back The celtics are

875
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: really restarting for the season a year from. Now we're

876
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: gonna sit back and just play it out and hope

877
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 3: That Mike brown coming in and these couple of small

878
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 3: changes that we have for depth is gonna be. Enough

879
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 3: The knicks will sit out the big trade.

880
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 2: Season the good point you made is about The Eastern

881
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: conference as a whole and how it's going to look like,

882
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: already how different it looks compared to last, season because

883
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: already The west, was shall we, say more top. Heavy

884
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 2: you could make the case that the eight playoff teams

885
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 2: from The west were all about six hundred winning percentage

886
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: instead of some people maybe well under five hundred having

887
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 2: a chance to sniff the playoffs in The east aside From,

888
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 2: Orlando and that was one of the news items. Today

889
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: Paula benkaro officially gets the max. Extension they've got four

890

897
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: Okay the good thing About CLEVELAND i always thought was

898
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 2: just the passage of time because they have a. TEAM

899
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 2: i just did try ust them in the playoffs last

900
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,640
