Speaker 3: Hello, Welcome in side hour three The Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: with my bas friend Mike Harmon. You know what they

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: say about objects and mirrors, What's that they may be

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: closer than they appear.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: A thinly veiled reference to the Clippers and the Lakers,

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: as the Lakers have cut this lead to ten nine

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: minutes ago in the fourth quarter. Monci Bolangos has their

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: entire month's rent money on this game.

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

18
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I want the Lakers to win for Frost.

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: I want Manci be able to pay your rent. So

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: trying to figure stuff out.

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like Harvey Dent over here, I'm flipping

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: a coin, going this could be fun. Follow all the

23
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: game's matter in the postseason ten point game, the other

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: I mean we gotta go into Satchel Page. Don't look

25
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: back something maybe game?

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, you know, you gotta explain to the

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: greatest generation who Satchel Page?

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: Was you going back? Man, I'm beout a Duff mccagan,

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 3: never look back. I mean, there's a lot of things

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: we can do. But suddenly this is a game that

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: has my rapt attention.

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look and look, we'll get into the

33
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: anniversary of Kobe scoring eighty one turns twenty today. We'll

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: have more on that coming up. Certainly a big night

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: right now for the Lakers. It'd be great to have

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: that storyline following the game on Kobe's twentieth anniversary that.

37
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: They were inspired to play great basketball for a half.

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: Right now, the score would be Lakers eighty three Kobe

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: eighty one. If you're talking about tonight's game versus that one.

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: They barely have the lead right now midway to point

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter.

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: Cold we simulate that game, I'd rather watch that.

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: What's Next? Channels that on, so we got more basketball

44
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: on the way. But again, look, I love my favorite thing,

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things in sports. I still love

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: you know now you know, now I'm fifty five. And

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot, and I've seen a.

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: Lot Mike Harmon in my days, but I'm still always,

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: I'm always pleasantly surprised by storylines that have the legs.

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: I didn't think they would something that we wind up

51
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: talking about for a bunch of days where you think

52
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: it's a one day story. Some stories are two day stories.

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: Some stories are are are hot for a couple of

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: days and they go away and they come back because

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: they're always you know, hot than they're on the back burner.

56
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: They're hotting it like Aaron Rodgers. But this is now

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: the one, two, three, four, five, fifth day in a row.

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: We have a great, fun, insane update on the Buffalo

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: Bills fallout from firing head coach Sean mcderty. You counted

60
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: that out as well, is Mike Francis. I ever did

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: five five? Your fourteen gone Bundy five? What's that about?

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: Needed his hand to count the five, My hand to

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: count the five, even so doing that for the camera,

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: he was looking sorry into it.

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're or on camera, so I'm doing into five

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: like you on when referees are doing the uh you know,

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: when when they're on the court and they're counting they're

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: doing one, two, three, They got there though I wasn't

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: looking at my hand. I was simply do it. I

70
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: could do both things at once. Now my wife is

71
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: going to clean and go. You can do two things

72
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: at once.

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm going to no.

74
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: Allegedly, Allegedly that was just for purpose of demonstration only.

75
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: The thing in reality, here's the thing is my wife

76
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: will say to me, like when I'm at work and

77
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: I'm doing things, if I do the show from home

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: one night, or she'll say to me, you can do

79
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: like seventeen different things when the show is going on.

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: But like if I ask you something one thing and

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: you're on your iPad and I tell you, hey, we're

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: picking up Zoe at three o'clock today, and a minute

83
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: later you say to me, what time are we picking

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: up Zoe?

85
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: I know you're not paying attention. I'm like, I got

86
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: I got nowhere to go on that one. You know, okay, But.

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 3: You have the crutch me when we're in person, because

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: all you gotta do is give me a nod, Hey,

90
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta address something and it's done. Whereas

91
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: if we're not in the studio, you can't you say, hey,

92
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: when I nod my head, you hit it. Well, that's

93
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: why I like to say, hey, listen, there's times when

94
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: it's game time for me. Well, I gotta be on

95
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 3: that locking in. But sometimes if we're just hanging out

96
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: on the couch talking about okay, and sometimes I might

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: miss thinking about the Mets, I'll do be thinking about

98
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: the Jets. You're you're thinking about your Dynasty team. I

99
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: mean there's a.

100
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 1: Lot of you said to me, what time we're picking

101
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: up Zoe today? And what I heard was where in

102
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: the batting order will Luise Robert Junior hit? Like, that's

103
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: what I heard, fed Ralph.

104
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 3: I mean there's a stuff, Ralph. But fifth night in

105
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: a Row one two, three, four five, Fifth Night in

106
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: a Row, we get a great and crazy story. Yeh,

107
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: look your hand again the bills. I did not look

108
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: at my hand, but I did do the five thing

109
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: again because it's more fun to do that, right when

110
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: MEA Wallace says that in pulp fiction, Fox because we

111
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: were Foxy Chicks, forts because we were forced to be

112
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: wrecking worth, and five because there was one, two three

113
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: four five of us. Uh, you know, like my jack

114
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: Rabbit slash. I just like the way you really made

115
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: sure your hand was no one to anywhere near your

116
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: line of vision fox watching it. So when you count

117
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: to ten, do you do two sets of five? No,

118
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: I don't go to two hands. Come on, man, one

119
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 3: hand and that I think you do one hand, and

120
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: that's said, I'll go to two hands. He raises that

121
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: foot up. If we're doing a time I mean, I

122
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: haven't counted on two hands as my thirties. Come on, man,

123
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: don't do that anymore when you're seven eight nine dead

124
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: six seven six seven six seven six seven six seven.

125
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: So the Buffalo Bills, who are looking for a new

126
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: head coach, right, Jesse mintor new head coach of the

127
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens today, great move, probably the best guy out there,

128
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: and the Ravens get a great higher. We'll have more

129
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: on him in a few minutes. But things have been

130
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: such a disaster for the Bills since the firing or

131
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott. Things are getting worse now. We talked about

132
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: this last night about how the Bills are showing you. Yeah,

133
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: this is what Josh Allen has covered up. We thought

134
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: the Bills are this well run franchise for so long,

135
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: but Honestly, a quarterback covers everything. A quarterback covers more

136
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: than you think. A quarterback covers not just on the field,

137
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: it's everything that goes along with being viewed as a

138
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: winning franchise and coaches keeping their jobs. A quarterback covers everything.

139
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: Josh Allen has an incredibly c fantastic playoff game and

140
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: it's awful, and he cost them the game by himself

141
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: against the Broncos, cost them the game with turnovers and

142
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: horrible decisions in the final few minutes. It was his fault.

143
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: I can point to him and say it was your

144
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: great player Hall of Famer, This was your fault. He

145
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: plays bad. And now look it's like when you look

146
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: you when you you turn that rock over and you

147
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 3: see all the like the the the roly poly bugs

148
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: and all the worms and stuff around, You're like, oh

149
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 3: my god, look, I gotta put that down. Josh Allen

150
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: is the rock covering all that stuff. Now, what's the

151
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: story today? As other teams, including the Bills and looking

152
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: for a head coach, a petition has now reached it's

153
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: over forty thousand, Yeah, yeah it is. Is it further

154
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: than that? Now? Is it more than that?

155
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? I'm gonna I'm gonna pull it up now.

156
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: It was over forty thousand when we started the show tonight.

157
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was well, well in excess.

158
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: There forty thousand signatures from Bills fans who want them

159
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: to rehire Sean mcmilln.

160
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: The reson their stage.

161
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: It's up to forty three thousand, nearly forty nearly forty

162
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: four thousand signatures the issue. I've been a lifelong Buffalo

163
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: Bills fan for forty years, blah blah blah. As the

164
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: firing McDermott has left me and countless others heartbroken and baffled.

165
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: He's not only been a strategic master behind our team's

166
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: recent successes, but he's been an inspiring leader with a

167
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: deep commitment to the Buffalo community. Reinstate Sean McDermott. Vote

168
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: Goldie Wilson, Mayor of Hill Valley. Someone's doing that.

169
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Then we get they're driving around downtown Buffalo with a

170
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: with like a Ghostbuster's car and the UH and the

171
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: and the horn going vote for it to reinstate Sean

172
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: McDermott as our head coach. UH, sign the petition, Sign

173
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: the petition.

174
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: You you in the swimming pool, come see the Blues Brothers

175
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: Traveling Rhythm and Blues Band. We're the good old Blues

176
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: Boys Brothers band.

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: Uh.

178
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: This shows you what an absolute tire fire the Bills

179
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: are right now. A bigger point to move this out

180
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: from last night, Tony. This is what Josh Allen has

181
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: covered up for the better part of the last nine years,

182
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: is this. He has a bad game, the coach gets fired.

183
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Terry Pagool has a press conface which he sounds ridiculous.

184
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott is an odds with the team. It's as

185
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: ugly as it can get.

186
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: And now you have a petition where fans decigning reinstate

187
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: the old head coach. You want to know why Buffalo's

188
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 3: a tire fire because I'm gonna say this to you,

189
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: who wants this job now? Right because a lot of

190
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: what teams look.

191
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: We saw Jesse Minter say yeah, sorry, Cleveland Browns, I'm

192
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: not coming in for a second interview.

193
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: I got something else going on. We saw Mike McDaniel saying, yeah,

194
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to be a head coach there. I'd

195
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: rather be an OCU with the Chargers. Right, coaches know

196
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: what a good situation and what a bad situation is,

197
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: And you would think in theory that there would be

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: coaches that would say, you kind I could just jump

199
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: right into a playoff ready team and coach Josh Allen

200
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: give me that job. I am ready. But the bills

201
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: there's been nothing. There's been nothing as far as interviews

202
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: and far as I mean, they might bring back Brian

203
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: Dable who flamed out so badly in New York, but

204
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 3: he he was a.

205
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Pretty good oc and things worked up. Maybe Brian Dables

206
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: the guy, like who else would want that job? The

207
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: only the guy you're getting is a guy that got

208
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: fired a few months ago. Right, coaches know what good

209
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: jobs and bad jobs are, and you would think they

210
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: would have better people to choose from. Then here's a

211
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: guy who left got Fighters head coach and now going

212
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: from being fired by the Giants because he's stunk and

213
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: couldn't win with the talent that he had and really

214
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: had sideline behavior that's questionable, we're going to bring him

215
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: in to be our head coach.

216
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it was the act about desperation going

217
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: into that tent.

218
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: Think about that. Look, he was beset by serious injuries

219
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: to all his key personnel, including his quarterback. Kept finding

220
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: himself in the tent. He couldn't prevent that. No bubble

221
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: suit was going to prevent Jackson Dart from getting himself hurt.

222
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: But I understand your vexation here is this is understand

223
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: that it's not only that coaches want to see a

224
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: situation and how good things can be. Coach is also

225
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: want anybody going into a job wants to see, Okay,

226
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: when things get hot, when the pressure is great and

227
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: there's failure in dealing with it, how does that organization respond.

228
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: This for anybody that's going out to look for a job, Hey,

229
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: when things are tough, how do they respond? And you've

230
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: seen the Buffalo Bills just absolutely melt down in the

231
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: last few days since firing Sean McDermott absolutely melt So

232
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: if you're a coach and you're saying, okay, the bill

233
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: seems like a great job. But wow, now the former

234
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: head coaches is met at the front office, the front

235
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: office throws the former head coach under the bus. Boy,

236
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: they threw a player under the bus and keyon Coleman

237
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: the same time. Now the fans are revolting, they want

238
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: the old coach back. Am I going in there with

239
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: a chance to succeed or am I going in there

240
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: just to get fired? So yeah, you know what, Sorry,

241
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: I'll go talk to the Steelers, I'll go talk.

242
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: To the Browns. I'll go talk to them over the bills.

243
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 3: I'll go talk to the Cardinals. Like, really, you are

244
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: seeing the bills. Every coach wants to see a when

245
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 3: things are bad, that's true character. How do you respond?

246
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: And bills are failing every single test along the way.

247
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: It should be Josh Allen. They should be saying, hey, interviews,

248
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: and it should be people lining up to come in

249
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: to go interview here. Kurt Signetty should be saying, Yeah,

250
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: Indiana is great. I'm gonna go coach Josh Allen, this

251
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: is good.

252
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: But instead, how many coaches are gonna walk in and say,

253
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: that's a job I want. I really want that job. No,

254
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: they're all saying, hey, maybe I gotta stay away from

255
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the bills because I don't know if I'm going in

256
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: there put in a position to succeed. And I'm just

257
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: going in there because they don't know what they're doing.

258
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen covered up all their ills and I'm just

259
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna be fired in.

260
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 4: A year now.

261
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: Number one, I fully expected that entire monologue to start with,

262
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: tell Allan that all right, So Brian Allen, he sucked

263
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 3: on Saturday, So okay.

264
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Ryan Dable.

265
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: That's where Josh Allen began his ascent, right when he

266
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: was his OC. So potentially you get a marriage there

267
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: and a return to glory. One thing Brian Dable has

268
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: to learn, though, and I don't remember I'm ever disparaging

269
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 3: the good name of Josh is he can't do what

270
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: McDermott did when he was talking about that game against

271
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 3: the Jaguars and how great and instrumental Jacoby Myers was

272
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 3: to the second half of the season, especially after it

273
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: later would come out that you had a meeting whereby

274
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: you told the GM and your owner that the roster

275
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: they gave you wasn't good enough to win because you've

276
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: failed a number of times in the past. You've gotten

277
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 3: your first round win. That's great, and that was a

278
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: great streak. Take nothing from it, But in the end,

279
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: it's not an AFC title game every year.

280
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: It's not a Super Bowl appearance and a loss.

281
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: It's a one and done in a number of these circumstances,

282
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 3: And as I continue to say, if you and we've

283
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 3: talked about it a lot for bad coaches, right if

284
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: you losing a lot of one score games, eventually you

285
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: got to look in the mirror. There's something you're not

286
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 3: doing over the course of those sixty minutes to get

287
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: it done. And in this case, it became the biggest

288
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: excuse the interception or not. Now we look at the

289
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: way the Bills conducted themselves. The Keon Coleman drag is interesting,

290
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: particularly when the Bills dot com site refutes all of that.

291
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: But that meeting with McDermott, I think did him in exit.

292
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: I got to coach him up Man exit, U bout

293
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: a Fresca exit swollen down. The Jason Smith Show with

00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: But listen, just something that's been really big today and

335
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: I know it was shocking. We saw the Oscar nominations

336
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: come out earlier today and Sinners, which is one of

337
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: the best movies of the year. Not only does it

00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: get nominated for Best Picture Oscar record sixteen nominations right now.

339
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: When this when I first I said, oh my goodness, man,

340
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: that's a ton of nominations.

341
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: And I'm like, but.

342
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: Sixteen, like all time, Like that's more than Titanic and

343
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: Soulence the Lambs. I'm like, I loved Sinners, right, I

344
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: loved Sinners, But okay, let me go, let me sixteen

345
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: nominations and you know what, if you go through the nominations,

346
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: can't disagree with them, right, the acting nominations they nominated

347
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: got everybody that stood out. Obviously Michael B. Jordan stands out.

348
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: I was so excited for Delroy Lindo. He was so good.

349
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: But you get down to the other nominations, right, Best costume, well, yeah,

350
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: that period piece, Best costume cinematography, Yeah, best song the

351
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: kids sung. Yeah, like you go down and go, oh yeah, absolutely,

352
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: center center. So in the end I come back and

353
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: I said, no, that absolutely deserves sixteen nominations. And you

354
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: don't think about it like that because you just think

355
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: of the totality of the movie of how good was

356
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: it was a great movie, like was it Silence of

357
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: the Lambs?

358
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: Was it?

359
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: Showsh Ank Redemption? Was It's one of the best horror

360
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: movies I've ever seen because it's a horror.

361
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: Look.

362
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: It borrowed a lot from Dust Till Dawn. I loved

363
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: that it got nominated. I loved everybody in it. It was

364
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: so good. But the individuality of all of the categories

365
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: and all these different nominations, like that's what stands out,

366
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: because there's nothing I can look at and say, oh, yeah,

367
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: well why did it get nominated? Like when I look

368
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 3: at Lord of the Rings, really Lord of the Rings,

369
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: Like we talked about that earlier, this was something where

370
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: I said, man, yeah, absolutely nominated. Now is it gonna

371
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: win sixteen?

372
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 4: No?

373
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: Is it gonna walk away with the most wins ever?

374
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: I mean that's something.

375
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we'll see how that goes because sometimes you've

376
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: seen it before. Thirteen nominations, no wins, right, sure, you know,

377
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: fourteen nominations, twelve wins, whatever it is, but sixteen nominations. Yeah,

378
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm completely on board because I went going up and

379
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: down the list and I couldn't find one where I said, yeah, well,

380
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: why do you get nominated for that?

381
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: Thrilled for Delroy Lindo, as you said, so that one

382
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: that immediately jumped off the page.

383
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: Obviously, Michael B.

384
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: Jordan, we would have those expectations as well as director

385
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 3: and the film itself one of those crossovers because, let's

386
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 3: face it, the horror ish genre doesn't normally get a

387
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: lot of nuts come come award season, so that was

388
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: kind of exciting to see. Like we talked about with

389
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: f One earlier in the show. Check out the whole

390
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: podcast it's the all right, it's in the genre. Okay,

391
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 3: so f one gets a nod Best Picture and a

392
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: little bit in the technical, et cetera.

393
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: But here you're all over the map. In Bootsy, they

394
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: just told.

395
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Him to show up, Hey, Botsy, can you come in

396
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 3: for a minute as part of that musical montage you

397
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 3: know is the ancestral time passage. There, just wear what

398
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: you're wearing. It's like, no, you don't need a costume, boots,

399
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 3: he just show up, yeah, Boocie Collins as part of

400
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: that famous bridging of everything and showing the continuum. But

401
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 3: it's a movie I liked so much. I saw it

402
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: three times in the theater. Oh man, I'm really I

403
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: mean that third one was what got it over. I mean,

404
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: I hope it wins all of them because it was

405
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: that good. Because you know, my two two of my

406
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 3: favorite movies, as you were Sinners and Weapons, and honestly,

407
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: Weapons really got snubbed. I mean, I'm glad for Amy Madigan,

408
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 3: right because she was fantastic in it. But boy, is

409
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: that a loaded Best Supporting Actor and Actress always a

410
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: loaded category. Boy, that's really gonna be tough, because I

411
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 3: think there's seventeen people from that movie that you like

412
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: that got nominated, So that's gonna be really hard. But

413
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: as Sinners was such a good movie, and I'm glad

414
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 3: because that's that's recognizing a movie that they don't normally recognize.

415
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: It's not some really tragic biopic about somebody. It's not

416
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: some really depressing story about loss and overcoming grief and

417
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: all this, and it's it's it's not some hey, here's

418
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: a story about you know, five thousand years ago. It's

419
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: different that this gets out there and it's a legit

420
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: chance because it's got both Best Picture and Best Director.

421
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: I hope it win's everything. Yeah, I mean Centers has

422
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 3: a lot of that in there, but it doesn't hit

423
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 3: you over the head with it, like all right, just

424
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: come with us for the ride. Whereas Weapons, they literally

425
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: put the weapon in the damn sky. Yeah that's when

426
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: they lost. Well, okay, that's when they come on. It's like,

427
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: I'm not saying sixteen nominations exactly, but like to your point,

428
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: Chicago Kid and everything with Amy Madigan. So that's great,

429
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 3: but it's it's one of those you like to see

430
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 3: and it's proof that when you get into the award seasons.

431
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 3: You can still have a commercial success and still find

432
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 3: the art in it. We've had that growing divide, right,

433
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: Like we talked about with having ten pictures nominated for

434
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: Best Picture, it's the all right, well the crowd favorites

435
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 3: have to be in there somewhere, right. We got to

436
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: at least have something for the movies people actually went

437
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: to the theater and watched, and then for all your

438
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: art house films, here's everything else. I mean, it gave

439
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: you everything. It gave you a period piece. It talked

440
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: about a moment in time. It talked about struggle, It

441
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 3: talked about triumph. It was a horror movie. There was vampires.

442
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 3: It was I mean, it was amazing. But you honestly,

443
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: you know the movie the moment I was all in

444
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: on it and I said, okay, I'm seeing something special.

445
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: The first time you see Michael B. Jordan on screen

446
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: when he's both when he's both brothers, and you're seeing

447
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: that because you know you used to certain ways and

448
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: seeing how you know, okay, here's how the CGI is working,

449
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 3: and you can tell just how far the technology has

450
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: come that it seemed like this is two people right,

451
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 3: Like it's really good it's even better than the Winklevi Twins,

452
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: going back to social network and all that with. But

453
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: this was you see.

454
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: Because the first shot they give you is the two

455
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: of them, same shot, doing things, looking, communicating, talking with

456
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: each other.

457
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: And and it never seemed like and that's thing.

458
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: You get lost in that it's actually one person like

459
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: and that's hard to do when someone's playing two characters

460
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: like you get lost in the fact that this is

461
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: one person doing this. This is not Hey, everybody's got

462
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: their lines, aim, shoot and go. Like to be able

463
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: to do that at that level that is that is

464
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: so special, i'd well deserve for Ryan Coogler. Yeah, I

465
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: wanted to get him into Yeah.

466
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: The only thing that that disappointed me is the one

467
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 3: nomination they didn't get Jack O'Connell. But someone's got to

468
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 3: be left out. Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, because he

469
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: was fantastic. Yes right, everybody, you know what I mean.

470
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: It's one of those villains that will stand the test

471
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 3: of time and it got people going back to the

472
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: Irish folk music. Yeah, yeah, I mean, but Toroy Linda

473
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: is my favorite. I mean of all the all the

474
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: fortance and somebody, he was so good. You got more

475
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: of this.

476
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 4: I'm there.

477
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he was so good. Now, as we said,

478
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: it was twenty years ago. Tonight, after we all get

479
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: out of our food comas and whatever we had to

480

Speaker 1: drink watching the AFC and NFC championship games and set

481
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: up the super Bowl of the Steelers in the Seattle Seahawks.

482

Speaker 3: That yeah, Sunday night, six o'clock.

483
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: Lakers like to play home during the season on Sunday

484
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: night wearing the white uniforms.

485
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 5: Ah.

486
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're playing the Raptors tonight.

487
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

488
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can watch a little bit. I'll get the

489
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: highlights on Sports Center later. But we now celebrate twenty

490
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: years since this.

491
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: Eighteen for twenty four and an eighty one point game

492
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: fifty five of the second half. Latest, and gentlemen, you

493
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: have witnessed the second greatest story performance in NBA.

494
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: History, Billy Mack on the then Fox Sports Net channel.

495
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Eighty one points for Kobe Bryant. The greatest single performance

496
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: any of us have ever seen, simply because I know

497
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: nobody actually really saw Will Chamberlain score one hundred points.

498
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred thousand people over the years probably told

499
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 3: a dinner table that they saw I was there.

500
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: How many people do you think told Will I was there?

501
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: Did you are the eight millionth person to tell me

502
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: that you were there the night that I scored one

503
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: hundred points?

504
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: Then he held up one hundred.

505
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 3: Signed Yeah, what if it wasn't points he was referring to?

506
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: What was he referring to Frostburg? I'm just saying, what

507
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: if it wasn't points? Yeah, but what could it be?

508
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: No things? Off the court?

509
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: Here's how many women dat?

510
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, here are any women hooked up with in the

511
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: last week? One hundred would be low. Oh yeah, it

512
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 3: would be a slow week. I mean based on those

513
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: week if it were if it would be low.

514
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

515
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: But maybe he had a couple of back to backs

516
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: I mean in basketball and then you know, yeah, I

517
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: mean maybe travel you know it could have could have

518
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: done it.

519
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a slow slow for me.

520
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 3: Slow travel back then, right, he didn't have the chartered

521
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: planes and such.

522
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, uh.

523
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: Now we talked about this earlier in the show. And

524
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: the big hot take about this story is that because

525
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: I got a hot take you twenty years but I

526
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: got a hot take on it. I am really surprised

527
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: with the shot making in the NBA now and the

528
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: way the teams, giveaway games and rest stars, X, Y

529
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: and Z, everything going along with it, that we don't

530
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: have at least once a year or so, not all

531
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: the time, I'm not saying, but at least once a year,

532
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: we don't have a big star making a run at

533
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: eighty one in the game, right, because Kobe had forty

534
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: six shots in that game, twenty had out of forty six.

535
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: Right Now, this year, Kate Cunningham has the most shots

536
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: in the game.

537
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 3: He took forty five shots in the game, second most.

538
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Just the other night, Anthony Edwards had thirty three and

539
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: he scored fifty five points. Right, his big fifty five

540
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: point game. Now, let's just say for a second, right,

541
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards takes forty six shots, all right, So let's

542
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: say he makes seven of them, two of them are threes,

543
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: and he goes to the free throw line and goes

544
00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: four for five. Right, that's another twenty two points for him.

545
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he's at seventy eight, seventy nine,

546
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: and it's a big run at eighty one that he

547
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: just falls short of. I don't know why that hasn't

548
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: happened a little bit more like again, like maybe once

549
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: year maybe Jokic has a game like that, or really

550
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: the guy that I thought would have that kind of game,

551
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: and he has a been in the news big tonight

552
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: because he's the first player in NBA history to attend

553
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: ten thousand career three pointers Steph Curry. I'm surprised Steph

554
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: never made a bigger run at eighty one because of

555
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: the fact that he was so proficient at shooting threes. Well,

556
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Kobe was seven out of thirteen in that game, which

557
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: is a pretty good game shooting wise, but how did

558
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: Steph not have a game where especially the fact that

559
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: where he goes like seventeen out of thirty from three

560
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: point range and that's fifty four points right away. Like,

561
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that he's not a guy that had a

562
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: night like that.

563
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 3: Look at like Anthony Edwards, you expect and you know,

564
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: the big shot and makers, the big stars. Luca certainly

565
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: could be someone who got there. But Steph's a guy that,

566
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: well one night he wasn't on fire so much. And

567
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: Steve Curtis, how we're gonna leave you win and everybody

568
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: points you want to score, go ahead and score. You

569
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: get away from people. You can create your own shots

570
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: as long as a lot in the last two minutes

571
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: of a game. Like, that's what I'm really surprised at

572
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 3: that nobody got to that number because we have the

573
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: talented guys that can do it, and probably at least

574
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: once a year we should see someone not to get

575
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: to it, but at least make a run when you're

576
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: in the high seventies or you get to eighty. Because

577
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: Aunt Edwards, if he if he took forty six shots,

578
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 3: he would have been he could have been right there

579
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 3: just a couple of days ago. It seems like we've

580
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 3: got enough bottom feeding teams that there'd be one chucker

581
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: that would make a run at it, just like a Stanza,

582
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: just some chucker just saying he's gonna keep shooting. It's like, hey, guys,

583
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: tonight you know we be getting drummed anyway, take the

584
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: over for the number of shots.

585
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 4: I'm putting it up.

586
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: If I've got it, it's going towards the rim for

587
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 3: Steph Curry looking at a composite stat muse and again

588
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: hang a star on it, because.

589
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: It's in this spur of the moment.

590
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: You know, he's only taken more than thirty two shots

591
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: in a game five times in his career. Now, you

592
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: had Klay Thompson for a long time, minutes off the court,

593
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: early injuries, when he was first coming into the league.

594
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: We didn't know how those ankles were gonna hold up.

595
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: Remember that, Remember those debates. Yeah, yeah, look how small

596
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: he is. He's never gonna make it. Yeah, Greg Oden's

597
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: been out of the league for well over a decade,

598
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: and Steph curR is still going big beat and ankles

599
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 3: man bad things. But yeah, for Steph Curry, you had

600
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: the sixty point performance against Atlanta in February of twenty four,

601
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: but for the most part, it hadn't put up a

602
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: lot of shot attempts. And part of that is you're

603
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: also winning and playing good cohesive basketball.

604
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: Whereas that Kobe squad.

605
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 3: He said it in an interview with Dan Patrick a

606
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, he goes, hey, man, we needed

607
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: every win because we were still trying to fight for

608
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: the playoffs. So like it wasn't like a relaxed moment.

609
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: It's like we needed that. Now they need all eighty

610
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: one on that particular no, because they went and ran

611
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: away and hid after a while. Is you know, they

612
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: continued to single cover him. But for Steph he would

613
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: have been the obvious guy based on the three point

614
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: efficiency and marksmanship. But there's got to be somebody out there.

615
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: I mean, James Harden missed thirty five in a row.

616
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: No, okay, yeah, could be you know who's out there

617
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: could do that? Who's that Monty Bolognos, She could, She

618
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: could take a lot of threes. She's very happy right now.

619
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: Still thirty three and a half seconds.

620
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: Left to go.

621
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: But we have a happy Manti Bolognos as she tells

622
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: us what's trending in the wide world of sports.

623
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: And a little you know, not a little bit on edge.

624
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 7: Still thirty three seconds left. The Lakers have this guy,

625
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 7: what's his name, Luka Donchez. That's right. He can't hit

626
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 7: a three off balance with his eyes closed, blindfolded.

627
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

628
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 7: So there's plenty of time left for the Lakers to

629
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 7: come back and still pull off a tight or a

630
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 7: win or whatever. Clippers up one ten, one oh four,

631
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 7: thirty three seconds to go. Luka Donci has thirty two points,

632
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 7: eleven rebounds, eight assists. He has officially surpassed four thousand

633
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 7: career assists. Vitza zubots a double double four the Clippers

634
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 7: I want to save for La, but they're both La

635
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 7: Vita Zubots for the Clippers is eighteen points and nineteen rebounds.

636
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 3: The other game has wrapped up.

637
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 7: Trailblazers defeated the Heat one twenty seven two one ten

638
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 7: despite thirty two points and ten rebounds from Bam out

639
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 7: of Bio viktor Win Bayama had five blocks a day

640
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 7: to go along with twenty six points and fourteen rebounds.

641
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 7: And the Spurs defeated the Jazz one twenty six to

642
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 7: one oh nine.

643
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: And as I.

644
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: Said, anything can happen.

645
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 7: Clippers just lost the ball, and all right, well, Luka

646
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 7: Dacic missed the three.

647
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: He's human, he's human. Now you're feeling good. You can,

648
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 3: you can? You can pay your rent this week for

649
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: the money you're gonna win on this game.

650
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 7: Yes, no millions, allions, So all right, all right. The

651
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 7: Clippers did turn the ball over and La La the

652
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 7: Lakers went for three, didn't get it. So now there's

653
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 7: ten seconds left, Clippers are still up by six. In

654
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 7: the NHL, the Wild defeated the Red Wings four to

655
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 7: three in overtime. When it comes to women's college hoops,

656
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 7: there was no top twenty five action on the men's side,

657
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 7: but in women's college hoops, number one Yukon and number

Speaker 7: In the NFL, the Ravens hired Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse

660
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 7: Minter to be their new head coach. Titans officially named

661
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 7: Robert Sala as the team's head coach. You guys talked

662
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,560

670
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 7: In tennis, at the Australian Open, Coco Goff, in her

671
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 7: third round match, lost her first set six games to three.

672
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 7: She is the third seed in this tournament, playing against

673
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 7: not a seated player. She lost the first one six

674
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 7: to three. They're currently in the second set. They just

675

692
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, well, this is year twenty five

693
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 3: of the Clippers being a bad matchup for the Lakers.

694
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: Terrible rivalry week in the NBA. Clippers win it one twelve,

695
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: one oh four.

696
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: The Lakers make it close, they get to within a

697
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: couple of possessions in the fourth quarter, but not enough,

698
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: and on the twentieth anniversary of Kobe's eighty one point game,

699
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers fall to the Clippers one twelve, one oh four.

700
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: The red hot Clippers now just four games under five hundred.

701
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: How about that? Yea long road back?

702
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: Joining us down the hot line Los Angeles NBA Insider.

703
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: Check them out on Twitter at mark g Underscore Medina.

704
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: That's at mark G Underscore Medina. Mark are our Genie

705
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: Bus and Lebron talking right now like their old friends?

706
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: Can you see that right now in the locker room?

707
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 5: I do not see them talking. But this does leave

708
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 5: me wondering. Are the Lakers and worst shape than the

709
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 5: Knicks or vice versa. It's the third question.

710
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: Half, Hey, the Knicks, we're gonna get you, honest, the

711
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: Lakers aren't. So the Knicks are in better shape.

712
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 5: It's fine, that is sure, But how about this after

713
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 5: next season Lebron James probably is on the roster anymore.

714
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 5: They don't have to worry about everyone.

715
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Well, listen, listen, listen, Marko, mark As I tell everybody.

716
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: The Knicks are just learning what other teams in the

717
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: past have learned. Is it's difficult to repeat as champions.

718
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: They won the title in November. Now they're going to

719
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: try to win again. Repeating is difficult. It's just going

720
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more of a road ahead.

721
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: Then that's all.

722
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: Yes, that is true. And also you know, if you're

723
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 5: going versus sluggishness, all you really need to do to

724
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 5: remedy that is play against the Brooklyn Nets and then

725
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 5: you'll start feeling good about yourself.

726
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 4: Again, this is absolutely categorically true.

727
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 3: All right, So, how many side conversations of yes and

728
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 3: we're going around during this game tonight related to that

729
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: article that came out on all the dysfunction in Lakerland.

730
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm curious what Lebron James is going to

731
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 5: say postgame. But for what it's worth, JJ Redick, he says,

732
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 5: the Lebron James coaching experience is a ten out of ten.

733
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 5: I don't know if the Genie Buss would give it

734
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 5: that high, because clearly there's been different sources of frustration

735
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 5: from both sides. But the one thing I need to

736
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 5: caution you all in all seriousness is that whatever misgivings

737
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 5: Genie Buss in the front office have had with Lebron

738
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 5: and Clutch and their influence with things, the reality is

739
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 5: he's still on the team. They never traded him, They

740
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 5: extended him. They also made moves that sometimes Lebron agreed with,

741
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 5: and sometimes they did things that Lebron disagreed with but

742
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: yet seven years later, they're still you know, a partnership.

743
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 5: So it's been an up and down roller coaster. But

744
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 5: this idea that you know, just because Genie has said

745
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 5: things about him in private, doesn't necessarily mean that she's

746
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 5: you know, burned the house down because of her misgivings

747
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 5: about Lebron. I think from both sides it's been a

748
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 5: very pragmatic and practical partnership. It's not close, it feels transactional,

749
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 5: But I think both sides have also needed they needed

750
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 5: each other at this time, with Lebron bringing them a

751
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 5: championship kind of revitalized in the franchise, as well as

752
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: the Lakers giving him that platform potentially to retire, you know,

753
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 5: on a high note, do.

754
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: They still need each other now? Where you see that? Hey,

755
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: when it was Luca and Austin Reeves, the Lakers were

756
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: great eight Lebron came back. Yes, Reeves is still injured

757
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 3: and he's a big guy to be missing, But is

758
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 3: that still something they need? Could we see a buyout at.

759
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Some time before the deadline and the Lakers because you know,

760
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: they want to go out and put different players around Luca.

761
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well that's the thing. Ever since the Lakers got Luca,

762
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 5: Donta just clear that they don't need Lebron James as

763
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 5: much as they did before when Anthony Davis was on

764
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 5: the team and Lebron was clearly the guy. But that

765
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 5: doesn't mean that either side doesn't need them at all.

766
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 5: I mean, Lebron James is fifty two million reasons and

767
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 5: Browny and the fact that he's still in LA to

768
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 5: think I still need to be with the Lakers. For

769
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 5: the Lakers standpoint, I think that they would always love

770
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 5: to be able to retire Lebron. I remember talking to

771
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 5: Genibus two years ago and she said that that would

772
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 5: mean a lot. She's been on records saying that they

773
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 5: will retire his jersey. But I think also practically speaking,

774
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 5: this idea that he would demand a trade, they would

775
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 5: negotiate it by it, I just don't see it. I

776
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: think it's just really paving the way that it's going

777
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 5: to be a clean break this offseason, and that means

778
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 5: that at some point Lebron announceds this season it says

779
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: last year, or he keeps it open ended so that

780
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 5: he could join another team and hopes to add another run.

781
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, he can add another patch to his collection as we.

782
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 5: Went through another Tops card.

783
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 4: No, that's it, right, that's what it is.

784
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: Each one of those patches is going to go into

785
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 3: a Tops Fanatics card when it's all said and done.

786
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: But what happens to the rotation once Austin Reeves comes

787
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: back because we've had you know, JJ Redick speak about

788
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 3: what happened when Lebron did but it conveniently they're able

789
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: to find some semblance of cohesion at times. But Reeves

790
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: comes back, he takes a lot of the oxygen.

791
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, and here's the thing, he's going to start, Lebron starting,

792
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 5: Lucas starting. I think the chemistry with Luca and austin's

793
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 5: really good. I don't think there's a you know who's

794
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 5: there's no tugle war of who plays off the ball

795
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 5: or on the ball? Whose corse? Who passes? Their chemistry

796
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 5: is here. The problem is they don't have a lot

797
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 5: ofs and they started with the rule action more. I

798
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 5: think at some point he comes off the bench and

799
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 5: they have either Marcus Smart or Jared vanderbuilt even with

800
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 5: them being you know, a streaky three point shooters, not

801
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 5: giving great war space, and they need respectable defenders because

802
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 5: right now the Lakers defense at times his worst has

803
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 5: looked worse than the Toronto Raptors did twenty years ago

804
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: when they inexplicably allowed Kobe Bryant to get eighty one points.

805
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 5: They not doubled seem them.

806
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: Hey, lastly, Mark, I know you got to hop into

807
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: the locker room. We talked about this a couple of

808
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 1: minutes ago.

809
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: I would think at this point the one thing I'm

810
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: surprised about here in the anniversary of Kobe Bryant, like

811
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 3: once a year, we've not gotten a big shot maker

812
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: to make a run at eighty one, have a big nut,

813
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,959
Speaker 3: whether it's Steph Curry, Why do you think we haven't

814
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 3: seen that.

815
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 5: Well, One, it's really hard to get any one points.

816
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 5: But two, bring back ten years ago. I asked Steph

817
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: Curry in his MVP season if he could get any

818
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 5: one points and he said, not a chance. And even

819
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 5: with entertaining the idea that he just ignores team dynamic,

820
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 5: he said, it's really hard to do. But I think

821
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 5: the biggest thing to keep in minded here. Yes scoring

822
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 5: is higher, Yes, to shoot threes, but I think that

823
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 5: defenses are more sophisticated. They would throw the kitchen sink

824
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 5: at a star player. They would force worse shooters and

825
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 5: dare them to score. I think two it takes a

826
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 5: lot of energy in three games. Want to have more

827
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 5: balance on offense. So you add all those things together

828
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 5: and even into today's modern MBA. I don't want to

829
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 5: say it that possible that anyone could get eighty one

830
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 5: or more, but it's very improbable.

831
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Mark g Underscore Medina essentially sports Athlon,

840
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 3: great points about the eighty one, but I think once

841
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 3: a year you could get You should get that night

842
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: where one star just has it going to the other

843
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 3: team just doesn't care.

844
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 4: No, but that's it.

845
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: In March and April, the final week of the season,

846
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 3: designate a guy, spin a wheel.

847
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 4: You get to shoot until your arm falls off.

848
