20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: type of funeral march.

Speaker 3: zero lead in this best of seven for New Year.

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: They took the same to zero lead against Cleveland in

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: similar circumstances, winning the two games in Ohio to start

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 3: the series.

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Here they win the two games in New York. All right,

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: So there it is. Pacers Radio Network. Yeah, look, this

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: is what I know. You've listened the last couple of nights,

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: bad place, mentally, not great all of this. But here's

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: where I am right now. It's almost like and it's

33
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: not a full relief because it's going to be over

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: the course of the night tonight, right, but after the

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: show is done tonight and then the weekend's gonna hit here,

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: and by the next time we do the show, it's

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna be three zero Pacers. Is that by the end

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: of tonight I will be my equilibrium will be back

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: to zero because the last couple you know, it's been bad,

40
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: right since this awful loss, worst loss in the franchise

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 1: history of the Knicks in Game one, most devastating loss.

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: I told you they were going to lose Game two.

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: I knew they were going to lose Game two, and

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: they did, right, So it's all it's over again. Seventy

45
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: six and six teams that go up two zip, teams

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: that go up to zip on the road? What what

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: is it? Eighty one and one? Has anybody lost being

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: up to zip and going on? I don't think that's happened.

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: But although wait, wait, wait didn't they wait? Did the

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Mavericks do that to the Did Heat do that to

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the Mavericks in the NBA Finals? Was that two zip lead?

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: I gonna look that up. But anyway, okay, so eighty

53
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: one and one, what does it matter? But I know

54
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: that when the end of the show comes tonight, I'm

55
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: going to feel that that bit of okay. Mentally sports wise,

56
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: the worst is over. The series is done. The Knicks

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: have lost. They gave away Game one. It was embarrassing.

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: They had nothing left there. Tips is getting completely out

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: coached by Rick Carlisle. As we've seen, the Knicks have

60
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: no answer for whatever the Pacers want to do offensively,

61
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: and it's been different game plans Game one and Game two.

62
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: The Pacers clearly know what they want to do and

63
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: the Knicks are trying to react, and the Knicks offense

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: always completely stalls and gets back to Hey, whatever Brunson

65
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: can do, that's how we do it. Now. He's done

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: it so often, So okay, I'll live and die with

67
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Brunson shots. I'm okay dying with that three at the

68
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: end of the fourth quarter when they were down three

69
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: and eight seconds left to go. Right, Brunson's the guy.

70
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: But honestly, I know by the end of the shows,

71
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm good. I'm good, and you're gonna say, oh, no,

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: you're not.

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: Not.

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: No, I'm good. I tell you when i'm when I'm

75
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: when i'm low, I'll tell you when i'm fine, I'll

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: tell you when i'm up. I'm going to be fine.

77
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: Because this was going to be the result following Game one.

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: There was no way the Knicks were gonna come back

79
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: from that devastating a loss, that devastating a loss, and

80
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I and you know, to hear so many people say, oh,

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: it's just one game, it's just like It's not just

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: like they blew a five point lead in the last minute.

83
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: This was they blew leaves that we have never seen

84
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: before in the history of the NBA, or was it

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen, or at least till they were keeping track

86
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: right team teams up nine with fifty seconds left to

87
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: go in the fourth quarter. Going back to the mid

88
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: nineties when they started keeping track fourteen hundred and fourteen

89
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: wins and no losses like this, sometimes there's a there's

90
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: a mental there's a mental aspect of things you just

91
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: can't come back from. And it's not that that the

92
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: Knicks that that the Knicks team is going to come

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: out slow. It's not that they're going to just to

94
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: to to not have an effort. It's that when you

95
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: blow a lead like that, eventually you start thinking, well,

96
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: the worst is going to happen to us, because it did. Right,

97
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: This is just what it is. Right when we had

98
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Rick Buker on the show last week and he said,

99
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: and I said, listen, you know, for the Knicks, with

100
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: with the Celtics and in the Celtics areas, I knew

101
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: they were going to come out and not really have

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: an effort in Game five and they're going to try

103
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: to go home and win it in game six. And

104
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: Rick said, you know you're right because you do see

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: a lot of teams. I see a lot of teams

106
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: that come out for a game and they know we're

107
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: not going to get the calls they're not gonna go

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: our way. And if it happens that way in the

109
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: first quarter, they go see and they put it away

110
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: and it's a blowout and they come back for the

111
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: next game like that's what I That's what I knew

112
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: was gonna be. Game two for the Knicks was going

113
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, they're gonna play, but they're gonna know

114
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: disasters around every corner. They're not going to attack this

115
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: game from a standpoint of confidence, from a standpoint of

116
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: a game plan where they know they want to execute,

117
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: and the Pacers smell blood and they're all kinds of confident,

118
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: they're all kinds are ready to execute that. When they

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: started the way the game that way today, I said, boy,

120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna be it. Man Sakham scores the first eleven points.

121
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: Sometimes the beginning of the game is everything. Sometimes it's nothing.

122
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: But I knew the Pacers are not coming in here

123
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: as self satisfied, ready to just go home. Hey it's

124
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: one one, We're fine. They said, no, we did it

125
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: before to Cleveland, We're gonna do it here to you two.

126
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. I knew this was coming

127
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: because that mental hurdle of a loss like that is

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: really difficult to get over, and it's gonna be in

129
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: the back of their heads whenever they play the Pacers

130
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: the next two games, next year, two years from now,

131
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: when Halliburton's still on the team, is a long as

132
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: those guys are still there and brunts are still there,

133
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be there. Look what the Pacers can do

134
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: to the Knicks. The mental advantage that the Pacers had

135
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: coming in was going to be too great because they

136
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: were gonna come at it from no matter what the

137
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: deficit is, we can win, and let's get out big

138
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: and make them quit. And the Knicks maybe not make

139
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: them quit, but make them realize and lose whatever confidence

140
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: they had.

141
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: It.

142
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Yep, it's just gonna happen to us again. And you

143
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: saw the way the Knicks ran around defensively and the

144
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Pacers able to move the ball and wind up with

145
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: an open three, and they always hit the open three

146
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: when they needed to. There's something to be said for

147
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: execution as well, But to see the Pacers play this

148
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: game that way and the Knicks really seem to lose

149
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: composure and confidence as the game went on. That's why

150
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: I said I told you this was coming, and when

151
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: I know the result is he is coming, I'm going

152
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: to accept it a lot easier. There's a little bit

153
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: of that release that I know. Okay, Well, I don't

154
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: have to be so wound up about the NBA Playoffs.

155
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: They but I don't have to be so locked in

156
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: on the Knicks every day because they lost the first

157
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: two games at home. It's just going to be a

158
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: matter of time till the season ends. Realist, I get it.

159
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: I understand. So by the end of the show tonight,

160
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: maybe by the third hour, I'll be laughing and making

161
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: fun of the next but I know by the end

162
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: of the show, Yeah, Okay, I moved on. Mentally, I'll

163
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: be in a much better place, which I want to

164
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: get in a better place, because I don't want to

165
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: be in the mental place I said, no, terrible r.

166
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: I was just sitting around counting the minutes until this game,

167
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: not so I could watch it, just so it could

168
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: be over and I can deal with the result. Because

169
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: if they won, hey, it's still a series. It's great.

170
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: I could be excited. If they lost. Okay, I knew

171
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: it was going to be this way, but I knew

172
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: how I could react, and I knew I'd be I'd

173
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: be able to deal with things.

174
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 5: Well, you've got a pile of cheese that you can eat.

175
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 5: I just need you better before you have a long

176
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 5: drive for the weekend in sporting events where you're listening

177
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: to disturbs version of sound of silence over and over

178
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: again and tormenting your family. That would be bad. From

179
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: land to basketball, I see that there are four hundred

180
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: and sixty five instances of playoff status at any round

181
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: where it got to two to oho and thirty four

182
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 5: of those teams came back to win, including No. Last

183
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: year's Pacer. Now, in terms of winning on the road,

184
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: I don't.

185
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Have that subject. Yeah, I don't think that's working on

186
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: that data point. But it's gonna be less than thirty. Yeah,

187
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna beyeah.

188
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: Because one of those thirty four was the Pacers over

189
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 5: the Knicks. Yeah, just last year. Yeah, But all of

190
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 5: that to say I you said quit, I'll just say

191
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: that the Knicks perpetrated a fraud on me.

192
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: I thought they were I thought they were tough. No,

193
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: I thought they were tougher than this one.

194
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: And I thought that they would be The fans and

195
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: everybody would be said in the bodegas and sad having

196
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: last call at three thirty in the morning after seeing

197
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 5: a Broadway show or whatever yesterday and whatever the Catharsis was,

198
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 5: but that the Knicks would be.

199
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Able to come back, and they did battle back.

200
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 5: Right, it's a one point game with fourteen point one Brunson,

201
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 5: it looks like he gets the turnover, but he's got

202
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: all sorts of jersey and what you get the uport films.

203
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: That's an MSG whistle. I was kind of surprised that

204
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: they put out there. But well, because as that ball

205
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: saled bounds, he even looked back. It's like, yeah, yeah,

206
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: the video review is gonna take quite two seconds. Like nope, no,

207
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: but look, but there was a tear away. The dude

208
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: would be shirtless. There's a there's a different I have

209
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: no shirt. I don't know how you lost it. Sorry, Nick, basketball,

210
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: it's stuck to his hand like he's Spider Man. No,

211
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: there's a difference between quitting and there's a difference between

212
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: playing on an edge where you're ready for things to

213
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: go wrong, for things to not go your way again. Slowly,

214
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: over the course of that game, the Knicks were never

215
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: able to take control. Every time they busted out a

216
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: three to four point lead, the Pacer they hit a

217
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: big three, and that's gonna be my memory of the

218
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: series is gonna be all the three is the Pacers

219
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: whenever they wanted one.

220
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 5: Now, the Miles Churner one is the one that sticks

221
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 5: through two games from me, because these other guys gonna

222
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 5: have games Like Siakam, while he wasn't a dominant score,

223
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: was still their leading score at twenty per game. And

224
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 5: we've seen him in the past in the playoffs, he's

225
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: had big moments, so him starting to get hot didn't

226
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: surprive me. Miles Churner setting up in the corner and

227
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 5: looking around like, well, you're not gonna come check me.

228
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take a shot like that. Look and there

229
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: and and look and everything is going the Pacers way.

230
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: The Pacers are playing their best basketball right now right

231
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: the Pace playing their best basketball right now. And I

232
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: give them the nod right because they're they're playing incredibly well.

233
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: The comeback coming out this game. Uh but look that

234
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying this all plays into why I said the

235
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: other night, that's it, man, that's it. And people who

236
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: tried to tell me and going to oh the Knicks

237
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: have to I don't know what you're talking about. Man,

238
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: this is not happening, This is not it's I don't

239
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: think people really understood exactly what happened because they're in

240
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: society now, we're in it. We're in an era where

241
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: and it's and it's thanks to politics. This is this

242
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: is not gonna be political conversation to workcase. It's a

243
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: Friday night, right, wondn't be full of positives. Seven Even though

244
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: the Nicks lost, is that there's certain things that happen

245
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: and and you know, even ten years ago in politics,

246
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: something big would happen. You go, wow, that's gonna be

247
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: a story for two weeks, and it is, and it's

248
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: something that's it's such a huge development, and you think

249
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a story for the rest of

250
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: this month and beyond. But now at the point in

251
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: politics where a big story gets out and yeah, it's

252
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: a story four half a day and then we're onto

253
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: something else. Right, it has no staying power. No one

254
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: story has any more staying power than it's. Look at

255
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: this shocker now, because we're reinventing politics every single day.

256
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: So because of that, we you know, hey, Okay, we

257
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: can move on. We move on from things in sports,

258
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: It's not quite that way. And I know, and I

259
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: know the way the way this game comes out. And

260
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: then when you got into the following day after Game one,

261
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: you saw so many pundits and experts and former players go,

262
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: all the Knicks have to put this behind They get ready,

263
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: they will, They'll have Brunson, they'll have towns of this.

264
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm not like, you guys are insane. You guys played

265
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: the game. You know what happens to some, to some

266
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: teams mentally, when you give up an all time worst

267
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: loss for your franchise in an NBA history, When you

268
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: lose a game that no one has ever seen, you

269
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: lose it away two ways that no one has ever seen.

270
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Fourteen points with three minutes left to go, nine points

271
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: with fifty one seconds left. There's not coming back from that,

272
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: and and and and when I watched the breakdown of it,

273
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: whether it was on TV list on the radio, I

274
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: said to myself, they're not giving they're not giving nearly

275
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: enough attention to the fact that this wasn't just Team

276
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: A blew a lead late and they won. This is

277
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: not hey, it was a seven point later this was

278
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: this was an all time NBA choke. And when you

279
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: think of the Halliburton shot and the miracle, something breaks

280
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: in you, and something breaks in your confidence and how

281
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: you approach games and how and how you deal with adversity,

282
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: and and no one was giving that enough enough weight.

283
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: And that's all I saw in this game is yeah,

284
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: the next consider and say we're ready, we're ready to go,

285
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: ready to come back, right, come back. But I saw

286
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,239
Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, when they're running around defensively,

287
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: I said, they're lost. They're absolutely lost. The Pacers are

288
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: still getting open shots and the Knicks are playing hard

289
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: because it's not like the Pacers ran away. It's a

290
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: nip tuck game. The Pacers take out a big lead,

291
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: the Knicks buckle down and they make shots. But eventually

292
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: the Pacers start making their shots too, and it's a

293
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: little bit too much to ask, and the comeback doesn't

294
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: get there. I said they'd lose between ten and twenty.

295
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: They lost by five. It doesn't mean I saw the

296
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: result coming. And this is why, again, I knew this

297
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: was gonna go this way, and no one gave enough

298
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: credit to just wow, when stuff is really bad, you

299
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: have to sometimes you have to sit and go, all right,

300
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: this is way worse than we thought it was, and

301
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: we really have to understand, and you know it not

302
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: to make it to go away from politics. Is this

303
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: is more something that everybody can understand, is that anybody

304
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: that has a kid and something happens in their lives

305
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: right where they're you know, they're ten, they're twelve, they're fourteen,

306
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, my best friend's not talking to me.

307
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: Why because she thought I said something that I liked

308
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: something on social media and I didn't. I didn't mean

309
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: to hit the like button because it kind of made

310
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: fun of what she said, so I unliked it, and

311
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: then you know, she got mad at me. And you

312
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: just want to say, your reaction is gonna be, well, okay,

313
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: so you make up what's not that big a deal?

314
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: So you hit a button the wrong button? Why is

315
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: that a big deal? That's fine, don't worry about it.

316
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: And that's your reaction because that's what you know as

317
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: an adult. But for a kid, you have to understand, Hey,

318
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: this is their whole world right now, their whole day

319
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: is my day is ruined because my best friend is

320
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: mad at me. Whether you think the reason is legitimate

321
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: or not. It's their whole day and their best friend

322
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: is mad and your kid is upset. So you have

323
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: to come at that from the perspective. Okay, I have

324
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: to understand how you know that this is a deal

325
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: for you right now. This is something you are dealing

326
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: with and instead of blowing it off saying everything's gonna

327
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: be fine, you need help, you need advice, right, I

328
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: need to understand that position. Nobody understood the position that

329
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: the Knicks were in after the way they blew Game one.

330
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: It was boy, what a horrible choke job. But we're

331
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: on to Game two. Hey, what's up next? Here we go,

332
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about RG three and Ryan Clark and Caitlin

333
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Clark and Roy Clark and Dave Clark five, and Dave

334
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Clarker played basketball and Dave Clarker played baseball and all

335
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the that's TJ Dave Clark five. So no one really

336
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: understood that this was the reality after Game one.

337
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: Now, I'll tell you this, with all of that you

338
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: mentioned the other stuff going on in media, I'd rather

339
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: talk about Roy Clark's far more entertaining to me than

340
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: the other nonsense that's been swirling about in the verbal

341
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: slap fights.

342
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: I made it.

343
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 5: Good for views, good for your Q raiding. Everybody knows

344
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 5: who you are. You all look like a bunch of dopes.

345
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: But it comes back to the professionalism of what I

346
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: anticipated and look at. Shaking off tough losses is difficult, right,

347
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 5: you've coached your daughter's softball soccer. I watch my daughter

348
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 5: with soccer games. Most games, she's okay with it, not

349
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: happy if they take an l But it's a fairly

350
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 5: quick reset because there's other stuff to focus on.

351
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: And I get it.

352
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 5: You're in New York, so you've got the eight hundred

353
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 5: pound gorilla on all the billboards. Hey, the Knicks choke

354
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 5: this way if you're walking around. I mean, that's all

355
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: that's there. But again, I'm expecting you, as a professional,

356
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 5: to get back out there and do your job, right,

357
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: say tie back to Belichick, do your job. I think

358
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 5: I owe M seven dollars now, but either or I

359
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 5: owne Robert Kraft seven dollars. Either way, the point being

360
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 5: that you have to flush it right, that's just the

361
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: way it works. But since you didn't and now you're

362
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: down two oh, we get to put back on the

363
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: table something we theorized, I don't know about a month

364
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 5: before the playoffs.

365
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: Is the thin.

366
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 5: Haired, thin skin, red faced, surly hands, folded arms on

367
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 5: the sideline? Is he getting ready to walk the plank?

368
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather think about Giannis Yannis. Yannis will save us?

369
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: Is he wearing a cape ex exit? Is this Roy Clark?

370
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: Is this Roy Clark? Oh? This a little bit of

371
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: Roy Clark. I gotta explain the Generation X with Roy

372
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: clarkas I mean, not not non millennials or gen Z

373
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: like jen X who Roy Clark is. Yeah, but that

374
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: man could pick it. He used to have commercials I

375
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: remember growing up where he would he would do his

376
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: own guitar lessons where you would teach you a chord

377
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: at a time and you would put like stickers on

378
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: the guitar world your fan, he would say, And you

379
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: get your sticker and you put it on the neck

380
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: of the guitar, and you're able to learn cord by Clark,

Speaker 5: ropidope thing, because he and I were actually talking.

426
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: About this a little bit early.

427
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,119

431
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 5: then as opposed to the I can't console you. I mean,

432
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 5: you have cheese and it's not helping. Yeah, you got cheese.

433
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 5: Now that you got the Mets losing, that doesn't help.

434

440
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: the show, I'll be fine. I'm hopeful mentally I will.

441

Speaker 1: Maybe Magic Johnson will give us a tweet or two.

442
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe because I look, because in the end I

466
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: I got tripped by Larry David only in the next game,

Speaker 1: We'll hear from TIBs coming up in a few minutes.

469
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: I wonder if he has one word answers like he

470
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: had after Game one against the Pacers. But potentially big

471
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: news today, football wise, not NFL wise, but football wise,

472
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: is it. There's been some charge, a lot a lot

473
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: of people reporting that potentially Tom Brady could come out

474
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: of retirement to quarterback the Laws, back to quarterback Team

475
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: USA in flag football in twenty twenty eight, Brady would

476
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: be fifty years old flag football twenty twenty eight. Now

477
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: I'm in he can't. He doesn't have to take a hit.

478
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna be at his feet. But that's true. No, listen,

479
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: I look, what would I say I have too? I

480
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: have two big takes this. My first one is why

481
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: not it's gonna look like the Dream Team against Angola

482
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety two when it's when it's Michael and

483
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: Magic and Barkley and Bird and final scores are one

484
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: oh eight to twenty four, and players are going to

485
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: be saying, hey, I when I'm standing next to a

486
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: guy in the free throw line, get a picture so

487
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: I see what it's like. Backs to this guy. No

488
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: one's gone. And I know that flag football is a

489
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: little bit different, and it play five on five. Okay,

490
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna have the best football players in the world.

491
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's gonna be close. If something is close,

492
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: I'd be just done to beyond belief.

493
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 5: But I mean, there are professional professional no, there are

494
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 5: bag football players out I.

495
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: Gotta think we have the great I gotta think, you know, basketball,

496
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: I think we have the greatest football players in the

497
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: world in the United States. I'm just telling you. I

498
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: just think the United States we're gonna We're gonna we

499
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: got the greatest football players in the world. I don't

500
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: think a team from Canada is gonna know. I don't

501
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: think a team from Mexico or Amsterdam is gonna show

502
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: up and say, we're really gonna give the United States

503
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: all a can handle unless they change of rules and

504
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: it's more like Australian rugby than it is flag football. Na,

505
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be okay.

506
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: What are the rules if you start to run by me,

507
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 5: like say a Tyreek Hill and I just grab your

508
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 5: flag preemptively, is it dead there or does he still

509
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 5: get to run down and catch the ball.

510
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a preemptive flag. I don't know about that.

511
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't know.

512
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 5: I don't talk about different things in the rules. How

513
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 5: much contact is enough the play is over for you?

514
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: What do you mean, Hey, I barely touch that guy down,

515
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 5: it's over for you.

516
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: Can't do it. You flatten that guy? He ran into me? Like,

517
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: what do you want outside? You're out of the play,

518
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: go to the sideline, you're out of the play. You're

519
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 1: out of the play, and be like we're gonna win

520
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: that bad? So okay, Brady, why not? Right? Why not?

521
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 1: And if I'm an NFL team, I am more than

522
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: happy having that because I don't want my quota over

523
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: getting her. What did I tell you from the beginning?

524
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, like we told you being

525
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve when this topic was talked about

526
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: this week and today with break, Oh, I don't want

527
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: my guys out there. Yeah, that's nice. We told you

528
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: that like five days ago. I don't want anybody from

529
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: my team out there. Not that I have to worry

530
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: about Jets players being out there, but I don't fast

531
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: as hell though. Okay, I know I still don't want

532
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: him out there. I don't want him out there. Well

533
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: in two years say it, he could be if he's

534
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: not on my team in two years, Hey, go ahead, play, Hey,

535
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: go ahead.

536
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 5: That ain't doesn't even have to dry Nobody's trade for

537
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 5: you to get rid of him.

538
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Guy, nobody from mex beat it. So I think everybody's

539
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna be okay with with Brady doing now. Oh yeah,

540
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't have to have my quarterback go and worry

541
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: about some sort of strained strain, injury, strain or injoy. Okay, great,

542
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: because you know that's what everybody we talked about.

543
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 5: The John Harbaugh quote from the other day, right, Actually,

544
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 5: it wasn't even from the other day. That was from

545
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 5: back in March when this was first starting to percolate.

546
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: He goes, clearly, I've got a guy who would excel

547
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 5: and dominate.

548
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,959
Speaker 1: I don't want him to play. No, I don't want

549
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: to play. I don't want him out there. You know

550
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: how is all of a sudden this is accepted for football,

551
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: but for World Baseball class, Oh, it's such a great thing. No,

552
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: it's a great thing for the rest of the world,

553
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: not great for us. I pull you to Edwin Diaz

554
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: two years ago. Hey we're celebrating. Oh, I'm not for

555
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: the end, right like I like for football. Everybody seems

556
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: to be on the same point ful, grammatic. Yeah, we

557
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: don't want our guys now. But but for baseball, Oh,

558
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm played. It's so great And no, it means nothing.

559
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: The World Baseball Classic is a made up event. Everything

560
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: is made up about it. It's not the Olympics. It's

561
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: not even close. Yeah, but it's not. BIG's gonna come

562
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: and kick kick Does it matter? Toma already yelled at

563
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: me on the air over it one. Oh, I remember

564
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: he got so mad, Jason, Jason, Jason. I'm telling you, Jason,

565
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: he wanted to throw you out of the country. Yeah,

566
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: he was really mad. Why do you not love your country?

567
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: How do you not love the Red, white and Blue?

568
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: I really wanted to say, Tommy, can we talk about

569
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: the performance and the performance here? Performance? With performance? I mean,

570
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean he yelled at me when I know what

571
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: he might he might have that would have been good radio.

572
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 5: We might have gotten more dumps than we did with

573
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 5: the famous Eric Dickerson.

574
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: So Brady, go ahead, play. It's not gonna matter. We're

575
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna roll the gold medal. It doesn't matter. Now. The

576
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: one thing I will say is this, because I did

577
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: feel this the first way, is that you know, there's

578
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: lots of people who play flag football, who do it,

579
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: that have Olympic dreams, like, hey, this is what I have.

580
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: And especially I think about the one guy who said

581
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: he's the Mahomes of flag Yeah, and he can't even

582
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: know it's terrible. I'm like dude, I can throw better

583
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: than you, and I'm in my fifties and my arm

584
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been good in like twenty years, and I can

585
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: throw better. I can throw farther than you. Come on, man,

586
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: you just tell that football. How about that? We get

587
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: Uncle Rico.

588
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 5: Out there from the football John and what grys or yeah,

589
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 5: let's go.

590
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: But like, I do feel really bad for the guys

591
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: that play flag football, that do it almost for a living,

592
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: that should be able to play. Right, we're playing flag football.

593
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: You know, you go to a big tryout and we're

594
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna pick Team USA, and they're gonna go play like

595
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: you got this guy, gotta have it. I do feel

596
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: for those guys because suddenly, hey, we have this big

597
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: Olympic dream. We're all gonna go play. It's gonna be awesome.

598
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: But the NFL says, oh no, sorry, guys, we're bringing

599
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: We're bringing bringing the A team to this. Ah okay, great,

Speaker 1: I don't know. And here is Tom Brady being benched

605
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,080

Speaker 1: old tenant of the show.

612
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 5: And I know your life in radio and TV before

Speaker 1: Bay because we only need ten guys. That's the other

628
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: part of it. We don't need to feel fifty two. No, no, no,

645
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: tream it, you could do it right. All of those

646
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: self help things to the tune of billions of dollars,

647
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: Maybe we were right one of those.

663
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,080

769
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 4: come back. It's better than the slim odds that Mary

770
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 4: Swanson gave you know, Harry or Lloyd about you know,

771
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: one to million about them and Dummer.

772
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: Right, So I'm saying there's a chance.

773
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, sure, there's a much better chance twenty five

774
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 4: percent odds. Uh. The reason I say that is very

775
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 4: few teams come back from O two. It's happened before,

776
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: but very few. The Pacers just have much more depth.

777
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 4: They've been more consistent than Knicks. Look tired. I don't

778
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 4: know what I'm getting from coloradton announcement night to night

779
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 4: basis and Jalen Brunson is playing out of his absolute

780
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 4: mind and is putting himself in that conversation of Nick

781
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 4: goats and it's still not enough. So, uh yeah, they'll fight,

782
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 4: all compete because that's what they do. So because of that,

783
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 4: it's technically not over. But you know, this is a

784
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: tough Hall.

785
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: You because the NBA has TV partners and they have

786
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: two games and the advertising is sold. The series isn't over,

787
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: but we're gonna play two more.

788
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 4: Games, and you know what, there there might be a

789
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 4: frozen envelope express mail coming.

790
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 5: It was a full week of conspiracy theories, no doubt,

791
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 5: so why not fuel a few more. But final minutes

792
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 5: of this game mark is we're watching it unfold. Pascal

793
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 5: Siakam Early and then Halliburton and seemingly everybody else. The

794
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 5: Miles Turner one is the backbreaker for me standing in

795
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 5: the corner by himself.

796
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and look, Pascal, he's an all star caliber player,

797
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 4: so not like he's a scrub. He didn't come out

798
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 4: of nowhere. They made a huge deal to get him.

799
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 4: His chemistry with Tyres Halburton's great, but he's not a

800
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: superstar player. Thereby, to put up thirty nine points, that's indefensible.

801
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 4: No one was over and him. I think the other

802
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 4: thing that's very troubling is Tyres Haliburn didn't shoot the

803
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 4: ball well, he only went five to sixteen. Now, you know,

804
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 4: his value obviously is always in passing first. I mean,

805
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 4: he did have eleven assists, but if he's not a

806
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 4: scoring threat. Usually that leaves the pacer vulnerable. But you know,

807
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 4: to their credit, they roll like eleven deep. They do

808
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: have eleven They do have a lot of depth. But

809
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 4: how the stake isn't having his best game. The Knicks

810
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 4: got to take advantage of that. And again you look

811
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 4: at the effective channel Brunt said, thirty six points. Even

812
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 4: all their starters played relatively well except for Carl and

813
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 4: the talents that minus you know, minus twenty and plus minus.

814
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: But everyone else showed up to play and still not enough.

815
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's inexcusable across the board.

816
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: Well, because I'll say this is like watching the first

817
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: two games, right, Like, yeah, I was saying, what do

818
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: I know about basketball? But when I see the Pacers

819
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: attack the Knicks one way in game one and attack

820
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: them a different way in game two, win both games.

821
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: You have three different players now with over thirty points

822
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: in the first two games for the Pacers, which doesn't happen.

823
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: The Knicks look like they're reacting, and I see them

824
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: reacting slow defensively, they don't know where to be on

825
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: their rotations. Tibbs is getting rings coached around them by

826
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: by Rick Carlyle in this series.

827
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Tom Thibodo is going to team up

828
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: with JJ Ruddick pretty soon and call you out with that.

829
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: He was terrible. He's gonna be out of a job.

830
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 5: So unless he's doing as a commentator, we'll love Danny

831
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 5: Hurley next year.

832
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: It'll be fine.

833
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: Okay. So here's my defensive tips. I'm not gonna say

834
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: you put on a coach in quantify aning means Rick

835
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: Carlisle has been the better coach in the series, but

836
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 4: I would say it's also because the Pacers have had

837
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 4: the better roster. Now, in the regular season, the next

838
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 4: starting five is better than the Pacers starting five, but

839
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: that hasn't been the case in this series. And when

840
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 4: you add in the fact that they have more depths,

841
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 4: it's kind of like, what do you expect? I mean,

842
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: And again, here's why I don't put Tom Tabodak fault.

843
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 4: Who is who else is he supposed to play? Like

844
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 4: any calls for Oh well, if only he played Cameron

845
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 4: pay in a few more minutes or PJ Tucker, how

846
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 4: about given him some time. I don't think that does anything,

847
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 4: So I guess it's point of vetteran for worse like

848
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 4: the Rosy have to bring it and if not, they're

849
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: going to get blown out.

850
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: No, I don't think market's about who to play. But clearly, hey,

851
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: the Pacers did you know succeeded in game one and

852
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: the Knicks clearly expected something they weren't getting because from

853
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: the beginning you could tell the plan was is going

854
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: to take over this game? Right, you don't just accidentally

855
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: score the first eleven points of the game like they knew,

856
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: we're going to take advantage of this situation. And Siakam

857
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: has a game of his life and the Knicks didn't

858
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: know how to respond. So whatever it's like, whatever Rick

859
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: Carlisle has had, you know, has had as his play,

860
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: the Knicks can adjust to. And that's what I mean

861
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: by by Tibbs is getting like he's he wasn't ready

862
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: and they couldn't adjust toe Siakam having the hot head

863
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: and still he's opened for big threes, he's still able

864
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: one on one. He looked like Prian Kevin durant to night,

865
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: like he was Durantula in his prime.

866
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 4: That's what tonight, Mark, You know what that that is

867
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 4: a fair point. You know, rotations, I don't fault tips,

868
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: but here's where the next art fault both coaches and players.

869
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 4: They got to play at their own pace. If you're

870
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 4: going to get in a track me with the Pacers,

871
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 4: it's going to be you Saint Bolt versus Jason Smith

872
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 4: in a fut race that it's so lopsized out of

873
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 4: him funny. So you know, again, the Pacers are doing

874
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: this because they have the speed, they have the depth.

875
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 4: The Knicks they have to muck it up. They gotta

876
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 4: be nineties mixed. They have to be physical, and I

877
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 4: haven't seen enough of that discipline on closeouts as well

878
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 4: as just being organized. You know, you don't have to be,

879
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 4: you know, the fastest or most rugged team in the world,

880
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 4: but if you communicate you're on the same page, you

881
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 4: can often minimize those stakes. And again it's just fundling

882
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 4: that it was still overwhelming despite the fact that the

883
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 4: Knicks you know, won the rebound in battle Tyres Halburn,

884
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 4: did not shoot the ball well. Their star player, Joe Brunst,

885
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 4: has played out out of his mind. You add all

886
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 4: those things up in a normal circumstance, that should mean

887
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: a win for the next but because of the pacing issues,

888
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 4: it became a much different outcome.

889
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 5: And Jason's already to ship Cat out of town for

890
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 5: anybody with a near a max deal.

891
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: This is why I'm not a good GM, because I'm

892
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm ready to make a movie Bridges before the playoffs started. Yeah,

893
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: he's taking them all out.

894
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 4: Mark. Hey, you know what, Uh, we're talking about the

895
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 4: Wolves and their struggles. I mean maybe they swapped Julius

896
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: Randall given.

897
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: Hey, can we get games we'll get Yeah, we'll get

898
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: Devincenzo back. Now, I'll be fine that I'd like that

899
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: trade that trade back, trade back baseball cards where someone's

900
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: parent went and figured out what the true value was. Mark,

901
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: if you're going to give that card back, Mark, if

902
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: we make that trade, it's going to be Karl Anthony

903
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: Townsend Og Hannoby for Giannis. That's what's going to happen. Okay, just.

904
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what, I think that the Bucks should

905
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 4: be trading me on us up to Cumbo that had

906
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 4: three first round exits. Damian Lillard is probably not going

907
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 4: to be back, and if he is, he's not the

908
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 4: same player. They're going to be in the Hampshire Wheel.

909
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 4: If they just say, oh, we got to keep our

910
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 4: star player just because you know what, this might be

911
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: a blessed the Sky's Jason that just think of how

912
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 4: bad and upset and angry you are right now. This

913
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 4: just greases the wheel for that huge deal. And then

914
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 4: next year is when that championship parade finally happens. I

915
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 4: know you've heard it before, now you hear it again.

916
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 4: Just wait till next year.

917
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 5: If the trade that he proposes goes down, Mark I

918
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 5: will literally walk into the commissioner's office and say, show me,

919
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 5: you know frozen envelops. Prove to me none of these

920
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 5: conspiracies are real. If oh Gianna, no, but yeah, because

921
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 5: that's bringing the Bucks closer to anything.

922
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 4: Come on, yeah, I think they trade whole starting lineup

923
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: to get you.

924
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: Honest, that sounds about right now. We'll we'll keep brought

925
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Brunson and Jonnis. We'll play two on five. Will be good.

926
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 5: Okay, So you gave the next twenty possibility of coming

927
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 5: back from two to zhou t Wolves.

928
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: What half that? A third that and ate that? What

929
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: are we talking?

930
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

931
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 4: I think this is a Mary Swanson os to Lloyd.

932
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, the Thunder, they're a much different piece

933
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 4: when you have the MVP with Sajjus Alexander, the best

934
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 4: defensive team in the league, so many wing defenders, great

935
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: front court players, great chemistry, and they're young. You know

936
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 4: what that means. They're night and day above and beyond

937
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 4: the challenges of the Wolves face and the playoffs with

938
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 4: a Golden State Warriors team that had Steph Curry on

939
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 4: the bench because of a hamstring injury, and a Lakers

940
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 4: team that didn't have any real centers and no real defenders.

941
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 4: So I'd say that with full reconition that the Wolves

942
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: are legitimate team. They've raised their game to another level

943
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: up until this series. Julius Randall is not the Julius

944
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 4: Randall the New York Next of being either ineffective or

945
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 4: not healthy in the playoffs, and he Edwards has grown

946
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 4: once again as a young star in every category, scoring, shooting, passing, leadership.

947
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 4: And they do have bench deff that's just not the

948
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 4: same kind of depth that the Thunder have. And so

949
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 4: they're putting up a good fight. They don't lack for confidence.

950
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 4: It's just that, you know, the Thunder just above and

951
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 4: beyond ahead of the rest of the Western Conference. So

952
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 4: I think if it goes more than a sweep, now

953
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 4: it's just a gentleman's sweep because of Thunder leather guard

954
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 4: downing game career Game four. But I can't see how

955
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 4: this is going to be competitive the rest of the war.

956
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: I'll go go you won further markt we talked about

957
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: this last night. If I put the over under for

958
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder losses the rest of this playoffs at

959
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: two and a half, I'm taking the under because I

960
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: don't think anybody out of the East can give him

961
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: a series in the finals. They're just that much better

962
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: in their proving. I think we're gonna look back at

963
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: the end of the playoffs and go, man, how did

964
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: the Nuggets take them to seven?

965
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 5: Like?

966
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really just playing that much better.

967
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, look, I think the Pacers have shown through

968
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 4: each round that they're a real deal. They're respectful. I mean,

969
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 4: they beat Cleveland even though they weren't fully healthy. That

970
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 4: team was still the best team in the East. You know,

971
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 4: they're running laps around the Knicks and they're not gonna

972
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 4: beat the Thunder in a presumed NBA Finals, but I

973
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 4: could see them win a game or two. Tyres Halburn

974
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 4: not only is the best passer in the NBA, but

975
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 4: you know when he's aggressive He can be a really

976
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 4: lethal scorer, as we saw in Game one that crazy

977
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 4: shot where's on the line, hit the back of the

978
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 4: rim and dropped in. He can have those kind of moments.

979
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 4: But the thunder Shay is just a scoring machine. He

980
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 4: does it naturally with amazing playmaking, but he also does

981
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 4: it to the annoyance of opponents with finding the angles, flailing,

982
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 4: exaggerating and getting some SAG awards. But he's also has

983
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 4: a lot of good options around him, like Jalel Williams

984
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 4: has become a much more consistent score He's prepared for

985
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 4: that moving on and off the ball, his pick and

986
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 4: roll coverage chemistry with Ched Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, it's

987
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 4: just like clockwork. And then defensively, that's what really drives

988
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,439
Speaker 4: the offense. They have so many wing defenders in Case

989
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 4: and Wallace, Aux Cursus, Jallel, Williams, Loue Door. They create

990
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: so many easy baskets because they're getting steals, deflections, chasing

991
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 4: loose balls. They really don't have any weakness other than

992
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 4: they might not bring their a game every single night.

993
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: So finally it's it's the end of award season.

994
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 5: We saw the All NBA teams announced today SGA with

995
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 5: the MVP Award Eddie Shock In any of the first

996
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 5: or second team seeing Lebron as the second team or

997
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 5: any of that stand out to you.

998
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,279
Speaker 4: No, not really. I think what you saw was what

999
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 4: you expected, right, I mean Lebron's second team, he would

1000
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: bat and I if it was in his prime. But

1001
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: he's forty years old, so I think if anything, that's

1002
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 4: like wow, like still play at All Star caliber level,

1003
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 4: it's still pretty impressive.

1004
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: So waity, don'd you write a whole column about how

1005
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: Bronni was completely snubbed off the All Rookie team? I

1006
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: think I thought you wrote that article.

1007
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, You're right. I'm exposed here, I'm exposed. Yeah, Ronnie, Ronnie,

1008
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 4: Bronnie should get a Max steal this upcoming summer instead

1009
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 4: of trying to give Luca donca to an extension, because

1010
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 4: it's about the Lebron and Bronny show. It's not about Luca.

1011
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: Okay, Hi, good, just wanted to make sure. Just want

00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,160

1036
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about potentially moving on after this year. What

1037
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: about Lebron James, Lebron James, that's next Jason to Mike

1038
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: Fox Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my

1039
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: best friend Mike Harmon. Yes, sir, really, not my night.

1040
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: In sports Dodgers have two in the top of the thirteenth.

1041
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: They lead the Mets seven five the Mets. I'm not lying,

1042
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not saying anything that I'm being The Mets

1043
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: have left eight runners on base in the last three innings. Yeah,

1044
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: no runs. And this is why we can't have nice.

1045
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: This is like when I say you deserve to lose,

1046
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: you deserve to lose. Not my night. This is not

1047
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: my night, my garment not mine. You know what, You'll

1048
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: get up and get after it again. Tomorrow.

1049
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 5: You'll stop and maybe you'll get a donut. Not my night,

1050
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 5: nice big coffee, not my night. You'll sing some show

1051
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 5: tunes in life will be better. So we talked about

1052
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 5: potentially Jannis being on his way to the Knicks. You know,

1053
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 5: certainly Karl Anthony Town's getting bench in the fourth quarter tonight.

1054
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 5: It's not quite been the season that the Knicks have

1055
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 5: expected from Karl Anthony towns.

1056
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: Odega got shut down. I think it started out how

1057
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: they thought it was going to, but it just didn't.

1058
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that they said. I think they expected

1059
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: this offense and and Karl Anthony Towns to be a

1060
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: little bit different spot right now than it is. And

1061
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: getting bench with the fourth quarter. Wow, man, I go

1062
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: with Mitchell Robinson all the way.

1063
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 5: You basically saying we don't need offense now, we need

1064
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 5: someone who's gonna get at least give us some modicum

1065
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 5: of extra effort.

1066
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 6: I mean it is you know that that.

1067
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,959
Speaker 1: Really that's really something. It's really something when you're number

1068
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: two guy, he's bench with the entire fourth quarter. So yeah, Uh,

1069
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: could I see a Karl Anthony Towns Anernobe type deal

1070
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: for you?

1071
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1072
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I can see that for you, honest.

1073
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 5: But the other one on the tay say that forty

1074
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 5: five times, it just magically by say it one more time,

1075
00:50:58,320 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 5: will it happen?

1076
00:50:59,600 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 6: Uh?

1077
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: The other thing is, and we told you this a

1078
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Get ready for this to be

1079
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: the last year in LA for Lebron. A couple of

1080
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: reports in The Athletic also sam Ammick that Lebron's relationship

1081
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: with the Lakers is quote a frosty one. This is

1082
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: something that came out earlier. Today's relationship with the Lakers

1083
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 1: is frosty, and you know, potentially there's always a chance

1084
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: he can walk. Now, I don't think that's gonna happen.

1085
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: He's not going to turn his back on fifty million dollars.

1086
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: He's not going to get that from somebody else. But

1087
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: short of a Western Conference Finals run next year, this

1088
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: is it. We told you this year is it for

1089
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: Lebron in LA. They have already hit frosty, They've already

1090
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: put him at arm's length. He has already been someone

1091
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: that look, you don't run the team anymore. They trade ad.

1092
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: You and Rich Paul don't have the poll that you

1093
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: once did, so Lebron is kind of on the outsider.

1094
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 5: Now.

1095
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: The Lakers aren't going to simply just say okay, we're

1096
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: gonna do it now at the bed. No, they want

1097
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: to give Lebron and Luca more than two months to

1098
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: get something go because maybe it works out. But clearly

1099
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: I see this short of a Western Conference Finals appearance

1100
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: next year, and that might not even be enough. Lebron

1101
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: is finishing his career the last couple of years someplace else,

1102
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: probably Cleveland, And he is finishing his career someplace else.

1103
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: It's not LA.

1104
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 5: One year fifty two million dollars, no trade clause, one

1105
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 5: of the rare contracts in the NBA. He's taken swipes

1106
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,399
Speaker 5: at the front office. Go back to a d right ah,

1107
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 5: and you know the last guy that talked about big Man,

1108
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 5: he got traded.

1109
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: So no, I'm not gonna do that.

1110
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 5: Should you know what advice you're gonna give Luca about,

1111
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 5: you know, helping to build and whatever. I don't have

1112
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 5: any advice for him, right, That's not my thing to

1113
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 5: talk about that. So he's distanced himself in every respect,

1114
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 5: and certainly Luca coming to town realizing you have to

1115
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 5: pass the torch not doing it quite so gracefully. He's

1116
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 5: gonna keep taking little baby steps to make Luca chase

1117
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 5: him to take it. But certainly the frosty relationship to

1118
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 5: that does not surprise me. Something we talked about weeks ago.

1119
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 5: As you start reading the tea leaves of how they're

1120
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 5: constructing twenty twenty five, twenty six.

1121
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: One and done for lebron in La and then Hello Cleveland,

1122
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm back to finishing off Me and Bronny and Bryce.

1123
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: We're all here. Coming up next more on the biggest

1124
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: story of the night. Fox
