Speaker 4: who you'll hear from in a moment, might end up
Speaker 4: being totally right about this season and this series, which
Speaker 4: is crazy because I don't think he's watched the finals

Speaker 4: I have in the last three weeks played more video
Speaker 4: games than I have played in the entire in the
Speaker 4: last decade? Is that fair? Easily bought that PS five
Speaker 4: wasn't even playing it at first? You really, I'm sure
Speaker 4: you were like, man, this is awesome. Yeahs bought at
Speaker 4: PS five, He's never even played.
Speaker 2: It, left it on the stairs for like two weeks.
Speaker 4: Bought it and didn't even yeah exactly, just left it
Speaker 4: sit on the stairs and then all of a sudden
Speaker 4: played a little Fortnite. Then I was like, let me
Speaker 4: download Madden Now. I'm I'm in deep, back in my
Speaker 4: roots playing FIFA. Yeah, four or five games a.
Speaker 2: Day, training camp and all, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Got a train. Yeah you got a train. I mean
Speaker 4: these guys, I got European kids kicking my ass all
Speaker 4: times of the day. I gotta get it together. So
Speaker 4: Gold and I being remastered, I'm quite excited about, almost
Speaker 4: as excited as you are about the Celtics leading two
Speaker 4: games to one. We watched it together last night. I
Speaker 4: assume that's where we're starting. Let's get the show going,
Speaker 4: all right, what are we leading off with?
Speaker 5: Austin looked great in game three and my pick is
Speaker 5: aging greatly.
Speaker 4: And that tweet you had that was like, if you
Speaker 4: don't think the Celtics are winning the title that was
Speaker 4: in the heat, I think you have like mental issues
Speaker 4: and should be under surveillance. Yeah, yeah, that's looking good. Okay,
Speaker 4: go ahead, minded.
Speaker 2: That I picked them before the series before not a game,
Speaker 2: and like, oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I switched it up. But that's ancient history
Speaker 4: and I'm so glad I switched it up because, let
Speaker 4: me tell you something, rooting against the Warriors fields natural
Speaker 4: and great. And this is the only the second series
Speaker 4: this postseason. You and I have really been on the
Speaker 4: same page. You were rooting for Luca yeah, over the
Speaker 4: war Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, I hated the Suns.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, we were on the same page
Speaker 4: with the map on the eastern side of the bracket.
Speaker 4: We have not been on the same page except for
Speaker 4: Celtics and that, so I you know what. I take
Speaker 4: it back. We went on the same page a few times,
Speaker 4: but I was rooting for the heat I was rooting
Speaker 4: for the Bucks. Now we're together, all right, Go ahead?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Steph got injured latent in the game. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: Golden State seemed to basically throw in the towel.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And with Game four on Friday and no time to
Speaker 5: rest up or anything, could go down three to one,
Speaker 5: are the Warrior's done?
Speaker 4: If Steph is seriously injured, the Warriors are done. I
Speaker 4: don't think he's injured. It's seriously injured. He might be
Speaker 4: banged up. Now, I know the rules with Steph Curry's
Speaker 4: what they've always been. He's either awesome or injured. He's
Speaker 4: never bad. However, this is worth noting. I think the
Speaker 4: Celtics are gonna win the title, and the Celtics are
Speaker 4: gonna win. I think they're gonna go up three to one,
Speaker 4: said when I switched my pick, I said, I thought
Speaker 4: they were gonna win both games in Boston. I put
Speaker 4: a nice, little hefty wager on the Celtics last night.
Speaker 4: Feel good about that. Here's the thing on Steph, and
Speaker 4: part of this is on Steve Kerr. But Steph in
Speaker 4: Game one had that unbelievable first quarter. Steve Kerr then
Speaker 4: stuck with his rotation Sadam to start the second quarter,
Speaker 4: totally cooled off, had fourteen points the rest of the way,
Speaker 4: or thirteen points the rest of the way. Steph last
Speaker 4: night is having this unbelievable third quarter. And this isn't
Speaker 4: a second guest. This is a first guest because I
Speaker 4: tweeted about it. Kerr typically plays him the whole third
Speaker 4: rest in the beginning of the fourth. He wanted to
Speaker 4: be able to play him the whole fourth, so he
Speaker 4: sat Steph with two and a half minutes left in
Speaker 4: the third, and it ruined the game for the Warriors.
Speaker 4: It went from eighty five to eighty three. Boston to
Speaker 4: the rest of the way, the Celtics outscored him thirty
Speaker 4: one to seventeen. The Warriors scored eleven fourth quarter points
Speaker 4: and Steph had two points the rest of the game,
Speaker 4: which brings me to this point. Steph Curry has six
Speaker 4: points in the fourth quarter of these finals. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: say that again. Steph Curry has six points in the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter of these finals. He has hit zero fourth
Speaker 4: quarter threes. He has made He's three of ten from
Speaker 4: the field. He had three turnovers to start the fourth
Speaker 4: quarter yesterday. Now, to be fair to Steph, one of
Speaker 4: the three fourth quarters he didn't play because they were
Speaker 4: winning by so much. But Game one, they have a
Speaker 4: lead going into the fourth, Steph was bad. Game three,
Speaker 4: it's a game going into the fourth, Steph was bad.
Speaker 4: And people always say, Nick, everything's not about Lebron. That's true. However,
Speaker 4: if there is anybody in the league that should be
Speaker 4: held to the standard of Lebron, it's Steph, who the
Speaker 4: whole world has been telling me the last month, one
Speaker 4: of the ten greatest players ever. Yeah, I mean make
Speaker 4: your top ten. You got him, had a shock, you
Speaker 4: got him At a stack. Okay, it is brought up
Speaker 4: to this day that Lebron James had a two point
Speaker 4: fourth quarter in the finals eleven years ago. It's the
Speaker 4: JJ Burrea game, It's the it's the meltdown against the MAVs.
Speaker 4: It's Lebron's lowest moment. Eleven years later, it's brought up.
Speaker 4: I we are twelve hours removed from this game ending
Speaker 4: last night, and I don't think anybody other than me
Speaker 4: is pointing out that Steph's been bad in these fourth quarters.
Speaker 2: Now everybody else pointing to the injury, the for end.
Speaker 4: Of the injury, talking about Draymond who will get to
Speaker 4: But here's the other thing where Kurz got some cold ability.
Speaker 4: Steve Kurtz the NBA Finals. Your idea, I understand, is
Speaker 4: want to keep step fresh for the fourth quarter. Well,
Speaker 4: that ain't working. You're breaking his rhythm. He played thirty
Speaker 4: six minutes last night.
Speaker 5: But don't you think like in situations like that, Steph Curry,
Speaker 5: Steph Curry, if you don't want to come out of
Speaker 5: the game.
Speaker 4: That's not how he That's not how he operates. And
Speaker 4: I know people say that like he could force he could,
Speaker 4: but that's not that that's not the way he operates,
Speaker 4: and blame him for that. Steph Curry doesn't have to
Speaker 4: play the whole forty eight, but he can play the
Speaker 4: entire second half. In a game like last night, you're
Speaker 4: you're trailing big at the half, you have this massive
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. Let Steph keep rolling right and he's trying
Speaker 4: to save him for the fourth quarter.
Speaker 5: It's not working, not like Wiggans or anybody's having a
Speaker 5: big game like he's go to it.
Speaker 4: And Clay was playing well, but Clay also fell didn't
Speaker 4: I don't want to say fall apart, but his impact
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter was minimal. Like the Warriors quarter
Speaker 4: eleven fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: Points that it was defensive basketball man.
Speaker 4: The f from the moment they took Steph out, which
Speaker 4: was two fifty left in the third to the end
Speaker 4: of the game. Golden State scored seventeen points the rest
Speaker 4: of the way. That's brutal. All right, now, let's talk
Speaker 4: about what I really want to talk about.
Speaker 2: Go ahead.
Speaker 5: Fellow podcaster Draymond had a very weird night. Yeah, two
Speaker 5: point six foulsand one hundred arguments with the rest Boston
Speaker 5: seen him on phase despite his nonsense, Yeah is the
Speaker 5: best way to beat Draymond, to just ignore him.
Speaker 4: Well, you and I were talking about it that they
Speaker 4: weren't guarding him, and I still think they were guarding
Speaker 4: him too much. I would disrespect him, even you.
Speaker 2: You actually released a lot of tweets about Draymond.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm fired up about this, yeah, and maybe we
Speaker 4: have the tweets. So the first one was Celtics got
Speaker 4: to be really careful here. The last thing they want
Speaker 4: is for Draymond to foul out. And I was serious
Speaker 4: about that because I was worried Draymond foul out early.
Speaker 4: The Warriors would go to Otto Porter all of a
Speaker 4: sudden their offense could work and they would have stumbled
Speaker 4: a on something for Game four and beyond. But it
Speaker 4: went further than that. Then we talked about I think
Speaker 4: his statline for the game said n I'll say it again,
Speaker 4: Draymond has to act like a maniac to be effective
Speaker 4: against great teams at this point in his career. After
Speaker 4: his Antipolis commentary and Game two, he came out tonight
Speaker 4: and was subdued. The result two points, four rebounds, three assists,
Speaker 4: with two turnovers and six fouls. Stay on this suite
Speaker 4: for a moment. First of all. Draymond confirmed this after
Speaker 4: the game because he did a podcast last night. Three
Speaker 4: in the morning. He posted his podcast and he said
Speaker 4: in the podcast that he was in his own head
Speaker 4: about the stuff with the refs, that he wasn't playing
Speaker 4: with the forest. He was worried about it technical and
Speaker 4: he said this, which is at this point in his career,
Speaker 4: he can't be effective without acting crazy. Jalen Brown's driving
Speaker 4: past him at will. He doesn't score, and so go ahead,
Speaker 4: you see, we'll get to the other tweets in a moment.
Speaker 5: No, I just think Raymond is like, you're so out
Speaker 5: on Draymond frying himself.
Speaker 2: It's so wild.
Speaker 4: So I think it's the worst game Finals game by
Speaker 4: a future Hall of Famer I've ever seen. You've got
Speaker 4: Micah Adams, who's a great follow on Twitter, and then
Speaker 4: we can get back to the other tweets. I think
Speaker 4: said it's one of the least productive Finals games by
Speaker 4: anyone ever. As far back as the data goes, there
Speaker 4: has never been a player in Finals history to play
Speaker 4: as many minutes as Draymond did, foul out and have
Speaker 4: fewer than five points, five rebounds, five assists, first time ever.
Speaker 4: But I think there's more tweets we can show. I'm
Speaker 4: not sure because I went I tweeted about a lot
Speaker 4: of these things. Because then even at the press conference, Draymond.
Speaker 2: Well podcast shout out well.
Speaker 4: More than yes. So I wrote, at least my guy,
Speaker 4: Colin Coward's getting his money's worth because he's on Collins
Speaker 4: podcast Network. Not sure about Joe Lacom. Joe Lacob is
Speaker 4: the owner of the Warriors. We go on from there,
Speaker 4: which is Draymond. I've said it for and I'll say
Speaker 4: it again. You should only be allowed to bring your
Speaker 4: adorable children to celebratory press conferences. He brought his little
Speaker 4: kid to the press conference, which Steph started. Of course,
Speaker 4: Steph started that Lebron's Don Jr. Has done it. A
Speaker 4: lot of guys have done it in general. I like it,
Speaker 4: particularly because there's such a negative stigma with black fathers,
Speaker 4: an unfair one and one we've talked about on the
Speaker 4: pod before. I like seeing the guys in a majority
Speaker 4: black league bring their kids. However, when you know that
Speaker 4: the reporters want to be able to ask you tough questions,
Speaker 4: it feels a little bit like using your children as
Speaker 4: a shield. Now, the day after the Chiefs lost to
Speaker 4: the Bengals. I started first things first with Deanna sitting
Speaker 4: on my lap as a kind of a joke about
Speaker 4: that the idea like, no, I'm going to use my
Speaker 4: child as a shield. But now let's talk about Draymond
Speaker 4: in the pot because Isaiah Thomas, the Great Isaiah Thomas
Speaker 4: ripped him after the game, so he's focused on the
Speaker 4: wrong things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I may in the finals.
Speaker 4: Dude, You're in the finals. And someone at one of
Speaker 4: the reporters asked him about the podcast, and Draymond got
Speaker 4: pissed and I tweeted about that too. Showed more fight
Speaker 4: arguing about the podcast than he did during the game.
Speaker 4: And the numbers are the numbers.
Speaker 5: Well, his teammates aren't like I feel like if I'm
Speaker 5: Steph Curry, I'm like, Yo, get the hell off the podcast, man, dude.
Speaker 4: And it's Tom Haberstrow. Just put this out. Credit to
Speaker 4: Tom as far as for Draymond for the series. This
Speaker 4: is Tom Haberstrow's Draymond Green has a true shooting percentage
Speaker 4: of thirty two point one percent, the lowest of any
Speaker 4: player with at least one hundred minutes in the first
Speaker 4: three games of the finals. Since the stats since the
Speaker 4: stats go back from the nineteen eighty four finals to now,
Speaker 4: Draymond Green has the lowest true shooting percentage of any
Speaker 4: high minute player that we've seen. Yeah, it's not he
Speaker 4: has as many fouls as points. He has been it.
Speaker 4: Last night, Steph was very good until the fourth. Clay
Speaker 4: had his best game of the series. No Celtic went
Speaker 4: off and the Warriors got blown out because Draymond was
Speaker 4: that bad. It's a huge problem for them, a huge
Speaker 4: problem for them. All right, let's go. Let's move on
Speaker 4: to something I think Draymond's been talking about. Actually, go ahead,
Speaker 4: what's the next one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, everyone's been talking about how basketball was so much,
Speaker 5: so much more physical.
Speaker 2: Back in the day.
Speaker 5: Yet Boston won the game with defensive rebounding. You're an
Speaker 5: NBA story. Didn't Boston for like an old school team
Speaker 5: in Game three? And can older generations please stop acting
Speaker 5: like basketball used to be so much better?
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know that Boston felt like an old
Speaker 4: school team in Game three? I do agree.
Speaker 2: What no, no, no, no, go ahead, I do.
Speaker 4: Agree with that last thing. I here's the thing to
Speaker 4: fellow media people, here's what I would request.
Speaker 5: Also back when Ron Artest was going back and going
Speaker 5: in the audience and freaking, well, that's destroying.
Speaker 4: That wasn't the ninth That was when I was in college.
Speaker 4: This is late two thousand. But here's the other thing
Speaker 4: that I would request from the media. There's an old
Speaker 4: adage and old cliche. It's not a story when dog
Speaker 4: bites man. It's a story when man bites dog. Meaning
Speaker 4: you don't put things in the newspaper that aren't surprising.
Speaker 4: You put things in the newspaper that are surprising that
Speaker 4: are news. It is not news that player from the
Speaker 4: eighties says the eighties was the best. It is not
Speaker 4: news that player from the nineties says the nineties was
Speaker 4: the best. I do not care about these stories unless
Speaker 4: it is guy from era X says that era was
Speaker 4: worse than the current era, or guy from this era
Speaker 4: says this era is worse than a previous era. Guys
Speaker 4: are always going to try to protect their own legacies,
Speaker 4: which means protecting when they were playing. All right, what's last.
Speaker 5: Hope for the Warriors? Yeah, Clay looked much better in
Speaker 5: game three. He said he watched highlights of himself before
Speaker 5: the game to get him fired up. I might start
Speaker 5: watching my highlights before every podcast.
Speaker 4: By the way, wait, like your basketball highlights or your
Speaker 4: podcast highlight.
Speaker 2: A mixture of both, a mixture of both.
Speaker 4: Got okay? Smart?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And is Clay back? And does it matter if
Speaker 2: he is?
Speaker 4: Certainly not back defensively? And right now, with Draymond playing
Speaker 4: the way he's playing, the Warriors are going to struggle defensively.
Speaker 4: I think Clay maybe has one more good game in him,
Speaker 4: but that's not going to be enough. But everyone likes Clay.
Speaker 4: But Clay and Steve Kerr both whined about the Boston crowd,
Speaker 4: which was channing F you, Draymond, f U Draymond. Really yeah, Now,
Speaker 4: I'm not a big fan of crowds channing curse words. Okay,
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 5: That is F Draymond's a very reasonable one.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I probably wasn't supposed to say that.
Speaker 4: No, you're fine, No, you can say whatever you think.
Speaker 4: What about just Draymond sucks? What about that? I understand
Speaker 4: the idea that that an entire trap channing the F
Speaker 4: bomb because you got kids there, you don't love it.
Speaker 4: Let me just finish this and then go ahead. But
Speaker 4: Clay is the same guy that when they were playing
Speaker 4: Lebron in twenty sixteen and Lebron got called You're gonna
Speaker 4: have to bleep this whole thing. He got called up
Speaker 4: by a lady when he was walking off the court
Speaker 4: and Draymond cursed at him, and Lebron got mad, and
Speaker 4: Clay was like, oh, I guess Lebron got his feelings hurt.
Speaker 4: You know some guys it's a Clay said, it's a
Speaker 4: man's game. I guess he got his feelings hurt. Now
Speaker 4: Clay and Steve Kerr acting like the fans and the
Speaker 4: Golden State fans would never give me a break. Get
Speaker 4: and I'm not one to defend the Boston fans, but
Speaker 4: give me a break, all right? Go ahead? What was
Speaker 4: the thing you wanted to say?
Speaker 5: No, I I totally agree with what you just said there.
Speaker 5: You got to watch what you say because you never
Speaker 5: know how little age. Yes, but uh, I feel like
Speaker 5: Draymond specifically being the guy that he is like any
Speaker 5: other NBA player, I understand, but a player that takes
Speaker 5: pride on like trash talking and getting in people's heads totally,
Speaker 5: he brought.
Speaker 4: It on himself. This similarly to how Kyrie did right
Speaker 4: Like there are two guys, the Boston crowd's going after,
Speaker 4: both of which have earned right and again it would
Speaker 4: have been better if they don't include the F bombs,
Speaker 4: but they Kerr and Clayer like, oh, there's just a
Speaker 4: lot of class, a lot of classes. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 4: we'll be right back, all right, welcome back in special
Speaker 4: Thursday episode, even though we usually do have Thursday episodes,
Speaker 4: but they're usually not recorded same day, So if you
Speaker 4: guys are hearing this on Thursday or on Friday, we
Speaker 4: recorded this right after Game three of the finals. But
Speaker 4: there are some non finals things to get to, so
Speaker 4: to Monday, let's get right to it. What are we
Speaker 4: starting the second segment of the show with.
Speaker 2: Let's do it?
Speaker 5: Commander's defensive coordinator Jack do Rio Claude, January sixth A
Speaker 5: dust up, A dust up? Yeah wow. He later apologized
Speaker 5: for these comments. He also had some thoughts about the
Speaker 5: protesters after George Floyd's murder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Washington's player.
Speaker 5: Washington's players and coaches mostly downplayed the comments.
Speaker 2: But it has to be an issue. What should happen?
Speaker 4: Okay it listen, if we lived in a world with
Speaker 4: any intellectual consistency whatsoever, the same folks that talked about. Listen,
Speaker 4: it's not that cap can't play, it's that he might
Speaker 4: be a distraction. And you don't want your quarterback, your
Speaker 4: backup quarterback, to be a distraction. They'd be saying, you
Speaker 4: don't want your mediocre, multiple time failure defensive coordinator be
Speaker 4: a distraction. But of course there'll be no consistency. And
Speaker 4: Jack del Riel's Twitter feed is wild. And when I
Speaker 4: say it's wild, I mean wild. I'm shocked it hasn't
Speaker 4: been a story before here. What should happen here is
Speaker 4: nothing will happen. Ron Rivera, who everybody likes and I
Speaker 4: like him too, but he talks real tough about accountability
Speaker 4: for his players. Meanwhile his coach is out here, I mean,
Speaker 4: promoting Denesh Desuza's documentaries talking about trans folks on Twitter.
Speaker 4: It's a wild twitter feed. But set that aside. Here's
Speaker 4: what shouldn't happen. Jack del Rio shouldn't tweet the January
Speaker 4: tweet about we're spending too much time talking about January sixth,
Speaker 4: the insurrection of the Capitol, not enough time talking about
Speaker 4: the riots and the murders and the looting. And this
Speaker 4: alternate universe where the summer of twenty twenty was like
Speaker 4: the summer of sixty eight where the country's on fire,
Speaker 4: when that's not what happened. Not to say there wasn't
Speaker 4: riots and there wasn't looting, but the idea that the
Speaker 4: country was just overrun with it is a historic but
Speaker 4: set that aside. He tweeted about that, then he held
Speaker 4: a press conference where he doubled down on it and
Speaker 4: called it a dust up, and then eight hours later
Speaker 4: he sends out the most mealy mouthed non apology. And
Speaker 4: that's the only part of this I actually have problem with.
Speaker 2: Do those coaches and stuff have do they have publicists
Speaker 2: and stuff?
Speaker 4: Well, listen, a good tell that maybe he didn't write
Speaker 4: the apology. He's in the notes thing he posted. It
Speaker 4: still has quotation marks, so one would think maybe someone
Speaker 4: sent him that in quotes and he was just like, oh,
Speaker 4: copy paste.
Speaker 2: We had one job, dude.
Speaker 4: Okay. But here's the thing. I don't believe your apology.
Speaker 4: You tweeted about it, you didn't had a day to
Speaker 4: think about it, You out a press conference, then a
Speaker 4: few hours later what happened. You got elucidated on what
Speaker 4: actually happened in January sixth Give me a break if
Speaker 4: you're going to believe. You're allowed to believe what you
Speaker 4: want to believe and say whatever you want to say.
Speaker 4: If you're good enough at your job, nobody will care.
Speaker 4: I don't even think he's that good at his job,
Speaker 4: But set that aside. But the whole you clearly believe
Speaker 4: this and then give some bullsh apology. It's cowardly. It's
Speaker 4: cowardly nonsense. And do I think that he's going to
Speaker 4: have certain issues by clearly being more bothered by protests
Speaker 4: that were, at their best protest about racial equality and
Speaker 4: justice and then obviously in certain instances, turned very bad,
Speaker 4: that he has more of an issue with those protests
Speaker 4: than something that at its best was an attempt to
Speaker 4: overthrow the United States government and at worst a plot
Speaker 4: to hang the Vice president that he calls that a Yeah,
Speaker 4: I do think some of his players might take a
Speaker 4: slight issue with it. All right, what's next?
Speaker 5: The athletic report of the Suns had a COVID outbreak
Speaker 5: during the Dallas series. Yeah, unclear if any players tested positive.
Speaker 2: And who they were.
Speaker 5: Wait, I'm sorry, no one on the Suns look ready
Speaker 5: to play in Game seven?
Speaker 2: Could this explain Phoenix's belt? Then?
Speaker 4: Why it's just like, tell me you were just looking.
Speaker 2: For ways, Like it's just so wild people.
Speaker 5: I'm definitely I'm not laughing because I think that some
Speaker 5: of the players on Phoenix got COVID and that's why
Speaker 5: they lost Game seven.
Speaker 2: I just think they had it coming to him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people are looking for ways to try to and
Speaker 4: that's why this is in the show. And I know
Speaker 4: why Matt and Gabe and Nick Winer, who I didn't
Speaker 4: know what the important job he had until recently. He
Speaker 4: was on a very high level call. I'm like, gosh,
Speaker 4: I didn't Nick at such a big job. Here's why
Speaker 4: I guy all these guys, I just assumed he was.
Speaker 4: I assumed he was a bit of a dupist because
Speaker 4: I think he wants to hang out with you and
Speaker 4: play basketball. I'm like, why, I just assumed he was
Speaker 4: like a PA shouts I know why Alton and also
Speaker 4: shout at the pas. I'm not I'm not taking shots
Speaker 4: at you guys.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: I know why there's in the show. They're trying to
Speaker 4: undercut whose achievement They're trying to undercut me. Sticking with
Speaker 4: the MAVs down two oh, singing the MAVs down three
Speaker 4: to two. I'm not gonna allow that. If anything, it
Speaker 4: shows that if the Sun's because there's light reporting that
Speaker 4: maybe there was a Sun player, Chris Paul, that did
Speaker 4: test positive and they're trying and they're like, if that's true,
Speaker 4: you wasn't supposed to play. Yeah, they broke the rules.
Speaker 4: If anything. You know what I think, Here's what I think.
Speaker 4: I think maybe the the MAVs poor performed against the Warriors.
Speaker 4: What's the incubation period for COVID. Maybe that whole day
Speaker 4: they had a super spreader event known as Game seven
Speaker 4: of the Western Conference semifinals, and they were they people
Speaker 4: thought Luca was out of shape. Maybe maybe his lungs
Speaker 4: were operating at sixty percent capacity. If anything, we might
Speaker 4: need to replay the Western Conference. That's what I say.
Speaker 4: All Right, let's play this or that, let's play a game.
Speaker 2: Time for this or that?
Speaker 5: Have the bigger red flag in Boston the Celtics raised,
Speaker 5: the Warriors ren too high or Patriots players alarmed about
Speaker 5: offensive coaching staff.
Speaker 4: Okay, so here's the deal on that. I think that
Speaker 4: people are kind of underplaying the rims being too high
Speaker 4: in Boston.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely one of them, because, like I just it.
Speaker 4: It is wild because why here's why it's wild. I
Speaker 4: have heard that's a thing they do on purpose, so.
Speaker 2: Like when it's game time. I don't like that. They
Speaker 2: wouldn't like.
Speaker 4: No, not for the game. Yeah, throw them off cut
Speaker 4: into their shoot around time. I don't want to. We
Speaker 4: had a guest on the TV show. Don't tweet this out,
Speaker 4: by the way, this is just for the people who
Speaker 4: are actually watching or listening to the podcast. I don't
Speaker 4: need this to be clipped socially. But we had a
Speaker 4: guest on the TV show years ago say that that
Speaker 4: happens at TD Garden a lot, that they screw with
Speaker 4: it a bit. Now it's always fixed by game time.
Speaker 4: But that's a little home court advantage, if you will.
Speaker 4: Do I think that impacted the game?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Do I think though it's a little bush league and
Speaker 4: do I think it kind of goes in line with
Speaker 4: the Patriots, like the headsets cutting out and these different
Speaker 4: added advantages in Boston. No, with the Patriots, you know
Speaker 4: your coach, your coordinator, and your quarterback are almost hear
Speaker 4: each other. And the rule is if one team's communication
Speaker 4: system goes down, neither team can use it. And for
Speaker 4: a long time, people that were playing in New England
Speaker 4: would say on critical moments on third down, the communication
Speaker 4: system would go out for a play and then come back,
Speaker 4: so that way they didn't have to shut it down
Speaker 4: for both sides. But just oddly enough in our biggest.
Speaker 2: Got to get to the to the Patriots scandalous ways.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I mean it's just massive, just cheating for
Speaker 4: two decades, and so do I think it's possible, you
Speaker 4: know they cheated. I think Boston's you know, baseball manager
Speaker 4: was part of the Astros cheating scandal. I don't know
Speaker 4: anything about the Bruins, but the Celtics were raising rims
Speaker 4: too high. It's something's a little fishy, is all I'm
Speaker 4: gonna say there. That to me is a bigger story
Speaker 4: than the pay. Of course, the Patriots are alarmed at
Speaker 4: their offensive coaching staff. It's Joe Judge and Matt Patricia
Speaker 4: who that wouldn't be alarmed? All right, what's next?
Speaker 5: Which one is a future Nick Zion or Spider so
Speaker 5: Zion or Donovan Mitchell?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Sorry, no, you're fine. I I'm gonna say, if I
Speaker 4: had to bet, I would say neither. But if it's
Speaker 4: one of the two, Donovan Mitchell. I also think Donovan
Speaker 4: Mitchell is not the player a lot of people make him.
Speaker 2: Out to be.
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell is an excellent scorer, a total non factor
Speaker 4: or not even non factor that's too good, negative factor
Speaker 4: on defense. If Donovan Mitchell is your best player, you
Speaker 4: are absolutely drawing dead to win the title. If he's
Speaker 4: your second best player, you need a perfect team around
Speaker 4: him to win the title, and a great number one.
Speaker 4: I would not trade RJ. Barrett my whole future for
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell. I wouldn't do it. But I don't think
Speaker 4: Zion's going anywhere anytime soon. All Right, what's next?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 5: Saquon Barkley says he's got his swaggerback. Which top two
Speaker 5: pick in the twenty eighteen NBA draft or NFL draft?
Speaker 5: Go ahead, that's a better season or Baker?
Speaker 4: There you go? You got it together at the end,
Speaker 4: uh Baker. I don't trust the Giants infrastructure. I don't
Speaker 4: trust the Giants offensive line. I unfortunately don't know how
Speaker 4: much I trust at this point, post all the injuries.
Speaker 4: And I think there's a sneaky chance Baker plays for
Speaker 4: the Browns this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, I think Deshaun might be suspended for the whole year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude put his what was that his Twitter on private?
Speaker 5: Like he doesn't have like millions of followers.
Speaker 4: Who did Deshaun Watson? Oh, I didn't see that. I
Speaker 4: didn't know he did that. I listen, we have and
Speaker 4: let me just say some of the audience here, we
Speaker 4: have intentionally not talked a lot about the Deshaun Watson
Speaker 4: story here. The reason for that is little pull the
Speaker 4: curtain back moment. I find the Deshaun Watson's story to
Speaker 4: be so disturbing, and I so clearly. I think it's
Speaker 4: so clear and obvious he doesn't have a two dozen
Speaker 4: plus person conspiracy working against him. I think, in my belief,
Speaker 4: he so clearly is done much of what he's accused
Speaker 4: of doing that. I don't think there is a good
Speaker 4: way to discuss that and then be like, now let's
Speaker 4: play a game. And so I you can say that's
Speaker 4: a bad job by me journalistically. Maybe it is, maybe
Speaker 4: it isn't. But we try to as often as we
Speaker 4: can keep this podcast light and fun. You know, it's
Speaker 4: not what I would call hardcore sports journalism. And so
Speaker 4: it is impossible for me to talk about the d
Speaker 4: Shown thing without going down some really dark paths. But
Speaker 4: as I've said before and I'll say again, my general
Speaker 4: burden of proof is if you have more than two
Speaker 4: totally unrelated parties accusing you of something similar, I tend
Speaker 4: to believe them. If you have more than two dozen
Speaker 4: unrelated parties accusing you of something, I absolutely believe them.
Speaker 4: The latest allegation against the Shawn are as disturbing as
Speaker 4: any and so I think the NFL might suspend him
Speaker 4: for the year. If they do, then I think Baker's
Speaker 4: gonna have to play, and I think he might just
Speaker 4: end up playing in Cleveland. So there's the quick answer there.
Speaker 4: I the final question here was supposed to be about
Speaker 4: Jurassic Park. I actually want to talk about that in
Speaker 4: the final segment. We'll do that next. We'll be right back,
Speaker 4: all right, welcome back. In final segment of this special
Speaker 4: same day episode of What's Right with Nick Wright, the
Speaker 4: podcast did a lot of Game three reaction little football stuff,
Speaker 4: and then we didn't have time in the last segment
Speaker 4: to get to it. We have won more this or
Speaker 4: that demons, What would our final this or that have been?
Speaker 4: We're gonna do it right here.
Speaker 2: Pick one to watch this Weekend Jurassic Park or Hustle.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I want to talk about both these movies
Speaker 4: for different reasons. First one is Jurassic Park franchise is
Speaker 4: wildly underrated. Yeah, every Jurassic Park movie is awesome.
Speaker 2: It's been going on for so long.
Speaker 4: Dinosaurs movies are naturally kick ass, the the the update.
Speaker 2: What what other dinosaur movies are there?
Speaker 4: I don't know, Maybe they've cornered the market. That's a
Speaker 4: great you know what, great take. You stumbled up on
Speaker 4: a great take? Why are there more dinosaur movies?
Speaker 5: Jurassic Park's got a monopoly on the game. I feel
Speaker 5: like once you make Jurassic I just don't think there's
Speaker 5: there's too much further you can go. Who knows, I mean,
Speaker 5: all right, there probably is things that can be done,
Speaker 5: but maybe.
Speaker 4: These what about a dinosaur movie with no humans? It's
Speaker 4: just dinosaurs?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's National Geographic right there, what I mean?
Speaker 5: And I feel like that actually is a thing, like
Speaker 5: they do have like the little but they're not like realistic.
Speaker 5: They're like little CGI or obviously the other dinosaurs and.
Speaker 4: Videos of dinosaurs on National Graphic Like, hey man, okay,
Speaker 4: I I get what you're saying point is all the love,
Speaker 4: the Fast, and the Furious franchise gets Take at least
Speaker 4: thirty percent of that and give it to the Jurassic
Speaker 4: Park franchise, which kicks ass and has been relevant for
Speaker 4: thirty years now at this point and is awesome. That's
Speaker 4: first point. Second point, Uh, shout out to LeBatard Show
Speaker 4: that tweeted out this fact, which is wild to think about.
Speaker 4: Did you you know what a stegosaurus is? Yes, you
Speaker 4: know what a Tyrannosaurus rex is? Correct? Did you know
Speaker 4: the Tyrannosaurus rex lived closer in time to human beings
Speaker 4: than it lived to the stegosaurus. So the Trannosaurus rex
Speaker 4: like sixty five million years ago, the stegosaurus was like
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty five million years before that. How
Speaker 4: about that? Think about how long dinosaurs was Rome and Earth.
Speaker 4: There's a great book that I read called The End
Speaker 4: of the Worlds, which talks about the seven apocalyptic events
Speaker 4: that have totally changed global climate over the total expanse
Speaker 4: of geologic history, and the extinction level event for the
Speaker 4: dinosaurs is one of the most interesting pair or chapters
Speaker 4: of any book I've ever read.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh, what was that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I mean nothing.
Speaker 4: I just know when you're totally out on what I'm saying. Yeah, No, No, No,
Speaker 4: you just don't know what to do. No, Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: sound sounds cool, geologic apocalyptic event.
Speaker 5: No, because honestly, you know, it's as real as they
Speaker 5: say dinosaurs are and how they used to they once.
Speaker 2: Roam the earth.
Speaker 5: A little part of me is just not go for that.
Speaker 5: You guys make me up all you want. None of
Speaker 5: you guys seen anything. You guys say that there are
Speaker 5: these fossils in the ground that we found.
Speaker 2: That say, yeah, dude, get the hell out of here.
Speaker 5: There's there's so so much other things that like the
Speaker 5: government makes up. And I'm not going for a whole
Speaker 5: conspiracy theory thing here, but like dinosaurs might have been
Speaker 5: a little bit smaller than what people are anticipating.
Speaker 2: It might have not been.
Speaker 4: Alright, No, I just want to let you keep going.
Speaker 2: I'm done send this little part to me.
Speaker 4: So do you remember how the other day we were
Speaker 4: Are you going to say, we're walking, I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: what I'm about to say. Do you remember how the
Speaker 4: other day we were walking and you were like, every
Speaker 4: time we go on one of these walks, I think
Speaker 4: about that time at Frenchies. Yeah, and that time at
Speaker 4: Frenchies is like a placeholder for like the most troubled
Speaker 4: demands ever got in high school. I took them to
Speaker 4: frenchiess fried chicken and we talked.
Speaker 2: It made it seem like everything was all good, like
Speaker 2: let's go eat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it wasn't all good. So you remember how
Speaker 4: like angry and disappointed I was with you that day. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I am so much more disappointed right now. No, this
Speaker 4: is I'm not I'm disappointed myself. I'm disappointed because of dinosaurs, man,
Speaker 4: because you're like, do you know the the government lies
Speaker 4: about stuff? Do you know what a high on? You
Speaker 4: sound like right now? Talking about our dinosaur is real?
Speaker 2: All right? So what are those people call it?
Speaker 4: The archaeologist archaeologists?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to be with one of them when
Speaker 5: they find one of their fossils or whatever and what
Speaker 5: and you'd like and then I.
Speaker 2: Will be a believer. Wow. I wish it.
Speaker 4: The way I feel about Muhammad Ali and his prime
Speaker 4: I wish I was there to see it is the
Speaker 4: way Demanse feels about velociraptors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they wouldn't mess with me, guarantee of that.
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is the single best or
Speaker 4: the single worst moment in the history of the podcast.
Speaker 4: I do know this this also is a podcast and
Speaker 4: YouTube exclusive. If you think this is getting pushed out
Speaker 4: on social and I have to, I don't know how
Speaker 4: long your media career is going to last.
Speaker 2: And I hope let's red the sea blood.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, this can stay out there. I
Speaker 4: know this mine is gonna last for it. I would
Speaker 4: hope another fifteen to twenty years. I don't need thrown
Speaker 4: in my face regularly. Hey, buddy, aren't you the guy
Speaker 4: whose son it wants to You know, he wants to
Speaker 4: know if dinosaurs are real. That's a bad job by me.
Speaker 5: Well they're not real. They're not here anymore. They were
Speaker 5: once real. They were once a thing.
Speaker 4: They were once real.
Speaker 2: They might have been a thing one a long time ago.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll take it. We've got we've got We've got
Speaker 4: you to they were once a thing. I will take
Speaker 4: that victory where we can get it. We we gotta go.
Speaker 4: We gotta go get some science books and go to
Speaker 4: some museums and have long you know what we gotta do.
Speaker 4: We gotta go to frenchies. We gotta go talk about this.
Speaker 4: See you next week.
