00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: of seven threes in the first quarter, got out to

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: a huge lead, shot fifty eight percent early on, and

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: this thing was never even remotely competitive. And the Celtics

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: haven't lost three straight games in two years. There. I've

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: said this before on FS one and on my radio show,

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: is they're a very strange championship team like Denver's not

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: I kind of know what Denver is when they got

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: rid of KCP and Bruce Brown, they just weren't quite

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: as good on the edges. But I kind of know

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: what I get in these close clutch games with the

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets. Boston's a better road team than they are

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: a home team, and that's been a couple of years now.

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: They were thirty five and nine on the road this year.

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: That's the second best road win percent ever. They're a

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: better road team than a home team. That's just unheard of.

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, all championship teams are usually viable on the road,

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: right They've got some experience, aren't intimidated by crowds. College

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: kids get overwhelmed on the road. I've always said this

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: in college football, you know, outside of your great teams,

41
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, you know, Ohio State last year lost at Oregon,

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: but they weren't overwhelmed in Oregon. Was a good team.

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: But most of the time a college football team that's

44
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: not a top three or four team, they go on

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: the road, you get a different team college basketball, different

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: team in the NBA. If you have a veteran team,

47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I remember a few years ago in the finals,

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Warriors went in and stole onn in Boston, the sultatory

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: younger team. It's just not that big of a deal.

50
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: Boston now is a veteran team. There's no other way

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: to classify them. Tatum Brown, you know, porzingis, Al Horford,

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Derek White. It's a veteran team. So homean road is

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: not really a thing. But to be that good on

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: the road is pretty remarkable. Well, I'm trying to wrap

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: my arms around why they're not a more dominant home team.

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: We know Boston is one of the more intimidating crowds.

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: We know every game is a sellout. Is does this

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: team play with a certain level of anxiety at home?

59
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Do they take their foot off the gas at home?

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I do think

61
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: the team is a really close unit, and I think

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: that kind of community and collaborative. I mean, we all

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: know Boston's sometimes to a fault, super collaborative. We wish

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum was more selfish, So maybe that kind of

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: unified spirit. I've compared them to the Warriors a little bit,

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, where you have a lot of shooters, a

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are smart, they get a long

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: young guys don't necessarily fit in these Celtics or those Warriors.

69
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: They're just they're really close and there's a certain unity

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: that bonds on the road, and maybe they just take

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: their foot off the gas at home. I can't explain it.

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: But and the Knicks, by the way, are not great

73
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: at home either, one in three and the New York

74
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: crowd is fantastic. So the Knicks this year one and

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: three at home in the postseason. So who, I don't

76
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: know what to make of it. I will say this

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: that Boston's got better players, and Peyton Pritchard's a great example.

78
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: At one point, Peyton Pritchard had twenty seven points in

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: twenty three minutes. And you know another guy that spent

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: some years in college and has come out and been

81
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: an incredibly viable player. And you know, I watched Cleveland disposed.

82
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Cleveland now is at full strength, and boy Indiana struggled

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: to stop them. Everybody this year struggled to stop Cleveland

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: when they were at full strength. So now you look

85
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: at that series differently. That thing wasn't competitive. The Pacers

86
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: could not make stops. So you know, all of a sudden,

87
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: now the cream rises. Over the last twenty four hours

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: with the Cavaliers and the Celtics, it has been a

89
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: very unique postseason where underdogs have done well and road

90
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: teams have done well. I think that's great for the league.

91
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: I still don't know what to do with a Denver

92
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: OKC series. I said this walking around my neighborhood this morning.

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Is it OKC is like Boston brilliantly constructed, Sam Presty

94
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: great GM Boston between Age and Stevens, a brilliantly constructed team.

95
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: But if you're telling me, I'm not so, I could

96
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: argue if you just gave me every starting five in

97
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: the NBA and said, all right, let's play five minutes,

98
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: I'd take Denver. I get Jokich, Murray offensively and be

99
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: an exceptional playoff player. Aaron Gordon I've loved for years.

100
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: He now can suddenly hit threes. So you know, these

101
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: playoffs have been just so dramatic. I think the one

102
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: team we're all kind of confused with is Denver. When

103
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: the line and the odds came out for Oka see Denver,

104
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: it was so disrespectful to the Nuggets. It's like, what

105
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Basically in the league, we all

106
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: know who's good. We know Boston's good, we know Okac

107
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: is good, we know Cleveland's good. I think Denver's good,

108
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think the odds makers do. And I

109
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: will remind everybody that if you have the world's best

110
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: player surrounded by really good players, you know, history tells

111
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: you you will prevail, usually at least getting to the

112
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: conference finals. So I think Oklahoma City, with a deeper roster,

113
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: is built to win a long series. I think they'll

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: bounce back and I think they'll they'll they'll win Game

115
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: four in Denver, That's my guess. I mean, they led

116
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the entire game last night. But when you watch all

117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: these playoffs, I think there's an understanding of who the

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: really good teams are in the NBA, and we don't

119
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: put the Knicks in that class. And that's not a

120
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: knock on them. I think the Knicks have benefited greatly

121
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: from the way the games have been officiated. I mean,

122
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: Og is just a big dog. He's a big pro athlete.

123
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: And you know, the Knicks have Mitchell Robinson and really

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: good defenders and even their best score Brunson, who again

125
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: was good today. He's just he's tough. He's just a tough,

126
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: physical Villanova guy. So I think that the benefit the

127
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: Knicks have is that this is not regular season basketball,

128
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: where the Knicks really struggled against deep and excellent offensive

129
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: teams like Cleveland, OKC and Boston. The Knicks really struggled.

130
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Now the NBA is allowing these playoff games to get

131
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: muddy and to get grabby and to get physical, and

132
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: that really benefits the Knicks. So my guess is the

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Celtics come out in a much closer game for and

134
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: even the series. Then it goes back to Boston. Boston's

135
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: the better team. I mean, at one point, the Celtics,

136
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, they're hot and cold on threes. At one

137
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: point they were twelve for nineteen on threes. The one

138
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: advantage playing Boston is that you don't commit a ton

139
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: of fouls because Boston doesn't get to the free throw line.

140
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: The Knicks only committed sixteen fouls. That's not about officiating.

141
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Boston shoots threes. So the good news for New York

142
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: is their rugged, physical players shouldn't get in a ton

143
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: of foul trouble because very rarely is Boston attacked the basket.

144
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: And so you know, you got Michale Bridges who plays

145
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of minutes and never misses games, and you

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: got Jalen Brunson, who's a workhorse and a warrior. So

147
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not This isn't This isn't a series

148
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: where New York's gonna worry about, you know, tiki tac

149
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: fouls and being physical. The referees are allowing this series

150
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: to go right into New York's hand hands. But they're

151
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: not as gifted offensively. And you really saw it today.

152
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Every time they got felt like you got close. Tatum

153
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: hit a three, Horford hit a three, Pritchard hit another three.

154
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: It was a real mismatch like it was when they

155
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: played during the regular season. So I think the playoffs

156
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: have been really good and really fun. And my guess

157
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: is tonight, without Steph going back home, the Warriors and

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: the Tea Wolves have a really really good basketball game.

159
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, if it's must watch, it'll be a

160
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: very entertaining watch. It will have to be low scoring,

161
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: or Golden State's got no shot because the dexterity and

162
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: the size and the options you have. I mean, Minnesota's

163
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: got a really good roster. The other night you're watching

164
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: Golden State play fourteen guys. It's just it's not it's

165
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: not a symphony. It's not an orchestra without Steph Curry.

166
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: It's just kind of whoever's hot, give it to Jimmy Butler,

167
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: cross your fingers on, Buddy Healed. This team offensively just

168
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: not the same team. They play a different style. It's

169
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: it's I said, it's like open mic night. Who's got

170
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: the best material, who's hot, get them the ball. That's

171
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: not the ecosystem when Steph is playing. So I think

172
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: while have a close game tonight, I would probably take

173
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: the Tea Wolves aunt Edwards has to perform better. I

174
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: would take the t Wolves tonight to beat Golden State

175
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: in a really really close game out West. So, uh, listen,

176
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: this really has become I'll read you a stat a

177
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: make or mis league on three pointers it's hard when fans.

178
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: I know fans want to complain about officiating, but Boss

179
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: doesn't get to the free throw line, right. They settled

180
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: for threes, so you can complain the NBA wants Boston

181
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: in the final. Why don't they get to the free

182
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: throw line? They jack up threes before Jimmy Butler. Warriors

183
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: never got to the free throw line with Steph, so

184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: the three point avalanche. It really hurts guys who think

185
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: the league is rigged. The teams that really shoot threes, well,

186
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: don't get to the free throw line. Here's what a

187
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: make or miss league it is. If the Celtics had

188
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: gone went twenty seven of one hundred from three in

189
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: the first two games, they would be up three to

190
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: zero in the series. But you know, that's that's the downside.

191
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: And I remind people when you know KD, Steph and

192
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: Clays had had so much overwhelming talent, but pre KD

193
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,239
Speaker 1: and post KD, even teams that won championships for the Warriors,

194
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: when Warriors got blown out a lot because they didn't

195
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: get to the free throw line. And it's a maker

196
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: miss league in Boston a lot like that. I do

197
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: think they have so many players who shoot well from

198
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: beyond the arc that eventually it's a bit of an

199
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: aberration to shoot as poorly as they did in Game

200
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: two after Game one's performance. So I think the Celtics

201
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: will even it up. But it's I think there's a

202
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: certain winning fatigue. It's going to be hard to beat

203
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: the next four to five games. It's the league's allowing

204
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: these series to be muddied up, and I think that's

205
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 1: really hard. I think I think this was one of

206
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: those games. I don't know what the numbers say. When

207
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: you beat a team twice in their place, you come

208
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: back home for Game three, that's a hard one to win.

209
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Boston was going to win, right. I think Game four

210
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: is close, But I take the Celtics again in a

211
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: six to seven point game, all right. Derek Carr retired

212
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: four time pro bowler. We all know for rookie quarterbacks

213
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: where you land is about seventy five percent of the game.

214
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Sam Darnold now looks really good. He didn't

215
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: with the Jets in Carolina. Okay, Bo Nicks looked great,

216
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: was shot Peyton? Would you have looked that good with

217
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus in Chicago? Probably not? Or Dennis Allen in

218
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans. So there's a bit of pity for Derek Carr,

219
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: who I think second round out of Fresno State. Good player,

220
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: not great, but a four time Pro bowler. Basically, he

221
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: comes into the league and goes to the Raiders, and

222
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: the Raiders were mostly an s show the entire time,

223
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: and he was a bit of a life preserver that

224
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: made them viable. He was making Pro Bowls. He was

225
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: a very solid quarterback and not great, but I thought

226
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: a little like Kirk Cousins, a Gamer, and then he

227
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: leaves and thinks, I'm gonna go to New Orleans. But

228
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 1: he's getting Dennis Allen, who in two head coaching stints

229
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: proved to be more coordinator, a good coordinator, not a

230
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: head coach. So even for veteran quarterbacks, I mean, I

231
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: always use Tom Brady as an example. So Tom Brady

232
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: is getting older, he's in New England, and New England

233
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: could not draft and develop wide receivers. So you know,

234
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: of the teams that Tom Brady looked at going to

235
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: to Chargers had like Keenan Allen, you know, a legitimate receiver,

236
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers that had Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

237
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: and then he you know, he gets Gronk out of retirement,

238
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: gets Ab to come down to Tampa. So you know,

239
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: Brady figured it out. He went from grumpy defensive guy

240
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: Belichick to kind of life of the party, Bruce arians

241
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: offensive coach and a team that was stacked at wide receiver.

242
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean Jameis Winston, if he had not thrown so

243
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: many interceptions, Tampa had all sorts of offensive talent. They

244
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: just you know, Jamis did his pick sixth thing. Brady

245
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: is a great road map for what veteran quarterbacks are

246
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: looking for. I mean, one of the reasons Matt Stafford

247
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Los Angeles, Cooper cup was in

248
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: his prime in Sean McVay and Andrew Whitworth a left tackle.

249
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: He knew he'd have a great coach, a great weapon,

250
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: and a great left tackle and protection. That's why Matt

251
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Stafford was gung ho about coming to the Rams. And

252
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: so I mean, Derek Carr is not as good as

253
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: Stafford or Tom Brady, but to get had he inherited

254
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, I think it would have gone better clearly

255
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. So I do think Derek had a

256
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: lot of talent, but where you land, even for veteran quarterbacks,

257
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: matters a lot. And that's why, like when Peyton Manning,

258
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: if you look at him and he chose Remember when

259
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: everybody out of Indy was after Peyton Manning, Pete Carroll

260
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: and Seattle, San Francisco. You know, he went to John

261
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: Elway in Denver and they had a couple of good receivers,

262
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: they had a decent offensive line, and he looked around

263
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: and thought, you know, I've had neck surgeries. I'm going

264
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: to have protection. I've got weaponry on the outside. They

265
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: had a pretty good defense. I don't have to win

266
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: by shootout. So you know, ideally, Derek Carr would have

267
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: gone to a situation where he didn't have a head

268
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: coach who for the second time was struggling and it

269
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: just never worked out. So I think Derek had a

270
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: really good career. He was able to, like Kirk Cousins,

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: monetize his career. I mean, he made over two hundred

272
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: million dollars, and I get it, Like, if you what's

273
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: New Orleans right now, they're not a Super Bowl contender.

274
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a viable playoff team. I think

275
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: when Derek got to the Saints. The NFC was weaker

276
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: than it is now, but now Detroit's a power. Washington

277
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: watch out, Philadelphia Rams are through their rebuild. San Francisco's

278
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: till decent. Baker Mayfield in Tampa, Pennis in Atlanta. I

279
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: like Atlanta's personnel, at least offensively. So I mean, what's

280
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: the point of taking hits. He doesn't need the money,

281
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't need the fame. You know, he's a guy

282
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: that's a deeply religious He's very much about family, and

283
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: why get beat up? What's the point? And I totally

284
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: get that that's the advantage for football players now not

285
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: making NBA or baseball money, but making great money. What's

286
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: the point? Football practice is hard, Basketball practice, baseball batting

287
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: cage is fun. Hockey and football practice can be hard

288
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: if you've got the money and you're not really a

289
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: playoff level, playoff viable team, what's the point. But I

290
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: thought Derek had a really good career. He just raiders Saints.

291
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: There's only so much you can do. Find the great core,

292
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, find the Staffords, find the Peyton Mannings, find

293
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: the Bradys. When they have a choice on where to go,

294
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: look what they select. You wouldn't select once Sean Payton left,

295
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: You're not going to select the Saints. The volume the

296
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: NBA eighty two game grind is done. Now the real

297
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: fun begins. The NBA Playoffs. Love them. They're here. Time

298
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: for drama, clutch moments, Steph Curry, Lebron joh dropping plays.

299
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait. If you're looking to make the playoffs

300
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: even more exciting, Draft Kings sports Book cash cover. They're

301
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: the official sports betting partner of the NBA, playing games

302
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: all the way to the finals. Now's the time to

303
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: back your favorite players and teams as they chase glory.

304
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: So all season long, Draft Kings been the go to

305
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: spot for NBA player props. That doesn't stop now. If
