24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: was a video game made after this movie came out,

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: so it's kind of in reverse of what we were

26
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: talking about. The movie came first. Judge Dread, I am

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: the law because Law Murray of the Athletic is here

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: at Law Murray d nu is where he finds him.

29
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: He's a close personal friend.

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: La.

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this late night here on Fox Sports Radio.

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: Thanks for having La.

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: First things first here before we get to the NBA.

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: You ever seen a game that crazy in college basketball?

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: Because that's about as good as a guess because I

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: have read your stats earlier talking about the possession battle

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: that was won by ucon that in some ways was

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: the deciding factor. Did that blow up your bracket?

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: How are you feeling?

40
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,919
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't make brackets.

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: I am the bracket.

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: Sorry.

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 3: I was very happy not to do a bracket. I

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: came out on one hand how many brackets I've done

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: in the last decades, So I wasn't watching for that

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 3: that's for sure. Honestly, I just was watching basketball all day.

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: I mean I covered.

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Lakers practice in the morning, I watched the Clippers in

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: the afternoon, and I wound up watching the two NBC games.

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: So that's just that second half just wound up being

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: what was on in between all that while I was

52
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: working with power rankings and getting ready for this week ahead.

53
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: And I mean, shoot, I think the first game that

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: claimed the mind for me was the Villanova UNC game.

55
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: That that was one on a buzzer beater that was

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: crazier when you look at the distance of Chris Jenkins

57
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: shot that was that was even crazier than what I

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: saw from Brandon Muns saying it. But also as a

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: Duke like they collapsed last year here, like you just

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 3: have to keep watching they. I don't think they were

61
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: super impressive the first weekend. So as someone who did

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: not grow up a Duke fan at all, never all

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 3: that man to see Duke wus. The only time I

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: ever saw Duke winn I was happy about it was

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: one of my god mil Jeferson won the championship, you know,

66
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 3: shout out to France Central. But other than that, never

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: a bad day when Duke go down. So shout out

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: to Yukon.

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Now do you think there should have been a technical

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: foul on Malachi Smith for getting off the bench?

71
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 5: Smith ran off the bench?

72
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: That was the Duke broadcast law. They literally said that

73
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: after the Loco three Paul, there should have been a technical.

74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 4: Yeah.

75
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: See when you Duke and you used to these collapses,

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: you are, you're keen to everything, Like man, coach might

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: not have this in the bag. Let's make sure that

78
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: help him out. He said, you must have said that

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: loud enough and here shot of a referee man. But

80
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: you know, I think Duke is done. And so once

81
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: again Ukon played in the final four. They made it

82
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: happen like I don't want to get on and say like, oh,

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: you know, Duke might have left the door open, but

84
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Utah still had to walk through it. Like they were

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: shooting terrible and I feel like they missed sixteen of

86
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: their first seventeen to three something like that. They certainly

87
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: didn't have the talent Duke had, and it didn't seem

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: like it was going to happen for them, like maybe

89
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: like I thought they were going to get blown out.

90
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: And at halftime I was like, all right, this is

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: the game that we're getting and that possessing battle. It

92
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: means a lot to me, Like I don't think everything

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: to make or mislead, Like we're going to remember the

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: last mate shot, but the turnover mattered, the turnover to

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: close the game out after they had to leave. The

96
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: fact that they continue to give them selves opportunities to

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: get that in it even while the shots weren't falling

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: and they were struggling to find good offense, Like the

99
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: offense of Yukon didn't really win that game. It was

100
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 3: the fact that they just kept playing hard, kept giving

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: themselves a chance every time. Again, Duke left the door open,

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: but you kind of walked through it.

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: Lobmer is our guest here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Adam Oslin in for Big Ben Mallard tonight. So Low

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: you said you were at Lakers practice earlier today. How

106
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: much are they going to be missing Luka doncis against

107
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: the Wizards tomorrow. Okay, I'm kidding. How did the Lakers

108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: get to this point where they've turned things around to

109
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: this degree? Did you see this coming?

110
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: I felt like when it came to the Lakers, they

111
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: had three really good players that they were confident, and

112
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: they weren't playing well with those three players. But a

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: light went on at the end of February where guys

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: understood how they needed to get each other going. But

115
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: I think the real impetus of success right before the

116
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: thing that started the nine game win streak that they

117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: had in March. Lebron went out and Luca again playing

118
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: really well. Austin Reeves, a guy who missed all of

119
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: January dealing with his second calf injury. He started to

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: play the minutes that suggested that, Okay, he's completely over it,

121
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: and the best version of Austin Reeves is the version

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: that is going to be featured. You know, he is

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: a he can play off the ball, but I mean

124
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves is a player who needs confidence to be

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: the best version of himself. And I'll always give Lebron

126
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: James credit because like Lebron is going to understand how

127
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: he needs to play. I mean, he SIPs in mind

128
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: and talks to Steve Knatch about that stuff on a

129
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: periodic basis. Now, so when Lebron got back from his injury,

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 3: Lebron understood that if he makes sure that Luca and

131
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: Austin get going and he just fills in where he

132
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: needs to fill in. Then that's want to give the

133
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: Lakers a really good chance to be again the best

134
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: version of that team. And so they've done that. Lucas

135
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: played great. I think the biggest thing with Lucas is

136
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: he's shooting at three incredibly well.

137
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: Often.

138
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: He has played more responsible basketball, knowing that he's going

139
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: to have opportunities to get buckets. He's decreased his turnover

140
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 3: significantly and that gives everybody a chance to score more.

141
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: And then the thing with Lebron, even at the stage

142
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: of his career is he's still alade like that he's

143
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: bigger than almost anyone who's going to guard him realistically,

144
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: and he's more skilled and he's smarter than a lot

145
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: of people. So like he's going to put himself in

146
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: position to get very easy baskets. A lot of those

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: easy baskets are coming on a fast break. Dude is

148
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: literally born where I was and needs to leave in

149
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: the league and transpread points or something like that. He's

150
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: dunked more than he dunk last year, and that's what

151
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 3: significantly fewer games played. All those things have just gone

152
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: into it. It's like they're not a significantly better team.

153
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: It's just that guys, the guys that you know are

154
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: going to decide their success the most have made the

155
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: commitment to do what they need to do to play

156
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: the best basketball for each other.

157
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: How much of what happens moving forward to finish off

158
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: this season will inform Lebron's decision of where he's going

159
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: or is it not his decision? Is it the Lakers

160
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: and he's he already made it? Does he already know

161
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: he's not going to be here next season or if

162
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: he's coming back or not.

163
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: I don't think the ladder is the case. I think,

164
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: as as it is with all of these things, the

165
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 3: playoffs matter, you know, I don't care how good the

166
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: vibes are for the Lakers, like the Lakers had similar

167
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: vibes just on a year ago, and they didn't even

168
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: make it to the month of May. So I mean,

169
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: and let's just be real, there wasn't a lot of

170
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: There are people who watched that series against the Timberwolves

171
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 3: last spring, and at the end of it they understood

172
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: why the Lakers weren't good enough. But at the same time,

173
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: there are a lot fewer of those people who were

174
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: saying that stuff before the series started, there are people

175
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: who were drinking the Lakers coolly and thinking that they

176
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: were going to take it all the way to a championship,

177
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: and so that obviously didn't happen. Hindsight's twenty twenty, and

178
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 3: so when it comes to Lebron, he's in a contract year.

179
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: Like if they collapse in the playoffs, again, there's a

180
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: lot of things that you're going to have to question,

181
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: including Lebron's will to play period, not just play for

182
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: the Lakers. So I think the playoffs will decide a lot.

183
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: I do think that this run of success that the

184
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: team has had in March will definitely help in terms of, hey,

185
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 3: Lebron can be here, you know. But again, the playoffs

186
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: are going to be what raises or decreases tensions to

187
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: a relevant point in the off.

188
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: Season, Kawhi Leonard has gone mainstream or national again. He's

189
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: getting more attention his way for the right reasons. Kawhi

190
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: Leonard has been incredible this season, fifty one straight games

191
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: of twenty or more after hitting twenty on the Dot

192
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: earlier today in their victory Clippers victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.

193
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: How impressive has this year at the age of thirty

194
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: four been from Kawhi given everything that he has been

195
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: through with injuries in his.

196
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 3: Career, well it's a deserved result. We were talking about

197
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 3: him being healthy going into an off season, getting through

198
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: the off season, coming into the training camp, and obviously

199
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: people wanted to talk about things that weren't connected to

200
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: the basketball as much. And the unfortunate thing with Kawhi

201
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: is he got hurt early in the season. You know,

202
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: like he lost ten games in March or not March,

203
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: sorry learn much now, but he lost time in November

204
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: and that started the descent of the Clippers more than anything.

205
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: Like the Clippers were on the close game to Miami

206
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: Heat when his angle went ninety degrees and you know,

207
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: if they weren't able to pull that game out against

208
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: the Heat, then they are two games over five hundred.

209
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 3: They lose. He doesn't play for three weeks. He comes back,

210
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: the team is in shambles. We heals out for the year.

211
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: Veterans who were added to the team were in and

212
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: out the rotation. Derrek Jones Junior was in the first

213
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: of two multi week MCL springs, so a lot, a

214
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: lot had to happen. And then even when Kawhi came back.

215
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: He probably came back a little early and was in

216
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: a minute restriction that really wasn't allowing him to help

217
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: the Clippers actually win these games consistently. And he's done

218
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: nothing but put in the work on his body, on

219
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: his game. He's not just producing, but he's doing it

220
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: in ways that he hadn't done it before. And he's

221
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 3: doing with players teammates that he hadn't done before, not

222
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: just in the form of new guys like Darius Garland

223
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: and been after any and also younger players like Jordan

224
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: Miller and Kobe Sanders who weren't exactly assets in November,

225
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: but they became assets over the course of the winner.

226
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: And so it's a huge credit to Kawhi. It's a

227
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: credit to his basketball ability. It's a credit to to

228
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: his place in the organization that he's been able to

229
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: play as well as he has, and he's not done yet.

230
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Lomer is our guest from the athletic at Lomurray. The

231
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: U was where he finds him on x LO. I

232
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit earlier and played a

233
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: clip from Kawhi from last year and Wemby I think

234
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 1: recently talking about how it's not bad defense in the NBA,

235
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: it's better offense. Do you feel the same way.

236
00:12:59,720 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

237
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: When I look at the NBA, guys talk about how

238
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: much more they would like to be physical within the

239
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: confines of the rules. And when I look at the

240
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: playoffs and I listen to people complain every winner, just

241
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: for those complaints to move the goalposts every spring, because

242
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 3: in the spring you get locked in good NBA players

243
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: who are playing with the kind of urgency that comes

244
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 3: with every single loss being a loss that sends you

245
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: closer to the end of your season, when you have expectations,

246
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: when you've gone through a lot, and you know these

247
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: teams to take away with these really good players do

248
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: well offensively their complex schemes. Like a lot of dudes

249
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: on they couch could not operate and execute what these

250
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: teams are being asked to do. That's just to take

251
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 3: away a star, but to take away an entire approach

252
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: to scoring. Like, guys, just know that you know you

253
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: can play a great defense and you have to switch

254
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: it up. Guys are going to make tough shots. Guys

255
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: are going to find their teammates and make the game

256
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: easier on them. So the game has gotten to a point. Again,

257
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: I'm old enough to remember when certain players were You've

258
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 3: watched them, and you've watched their stats, and it's like

259
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: you're respect the US pro ball players, but they weren't

260
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: they they If you take that those same players and

261
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: put them in today's game, they'd struggle, you know, like

262
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: the three point line. I don't think guys are better shooters.

263
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: I think there are just more guys who can shoot

264
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: at a league average level. And that's the difference, you know,

265
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: I think you have coaches who instead of thinking the

266
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: three pointer is a bad shot, they're thinking, how can

267
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: we weaponize the three pointer to get what we really want,

268
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: which is in the paint. And again, like back in

269
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: the day, you had a slower game. You the spacing

270
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: wasn't emphasized, and even if it wasn't, size guys that

271
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: can't make you pay for it nearly as much. I mean,

272
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: now you have to guard all the positions everywhere on

273
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 3: the floor, a faster game, and guys are just more skilled.

274
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: Like you know, big guys are coming in euro accepting

275
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 3: small guys are screening and rolling in the space. You

276
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: have multiple playmakers from different positions, so like that is

277
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 3: that is a skill thing. It's an increase in skill

278
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: and an increase and imagine Nation, and I think you

279
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: have to start there. And I respect the teams that

280
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 3: can consistently take that stuff away better than the other

281
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: teams too.

282
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: How much of a problem is taking in your mind?

283
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Is the NBA on the right track with fixing it?

284
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: Does it need to be fixed?

285
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: The NBA is always going to be on the wrong

286
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: track because they keep taking a big deal out of it.

287
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: And so.

288
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: I think that the relativity you see from a lot

289
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 3: of these teams is because of two things. One, yeah,

290
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: the draft is pretty enticing. You know, there's a chance

291
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: that there's a lot of difference makers in this draft.

292
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: But also a lot of these teams are up, Like

293
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: there are teams that don't have the same draft capital

294
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: next year, like it's donated to another team or you know,

295
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: they got to make decisions, and all the guys that

296
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: they have, they have guys who are ready to ascend.

297
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: Like I look at Utah's roster next year, and I'm like,

298
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: those guys are going to be ready to at least

299
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: compete a little bit longer than you know, December. Same

300
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: thing with Washington, like they've been bad long enough. And

301
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: now they got two guys in Trey Young and Anthony

302
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 3: Davis who I wouldn't trust them individually, but together, if

303
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: those guys can put some games together, you know, the

304
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: floor is the middle of the conference. And so I

305
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: really feel like the league gets to a point where

306
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: all these people covering the league, league and consuming the league,

307
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 3: they wind up talking about stuff that doesn't have to

308
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: do with basketball. You know, they think that a team

309
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: is not allowed to be bad, and so you know,

310
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: a blowout between a team that's bad as a bad

311
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: record and a team that has a good record, two

312
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: teams with bad records, and you get some shenanigans. They

313
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: think because it's available to watch that it should be eliminated.

314
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: It's like, you're never going to eliminate that. So I

315
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: appreciate the league paying clip service, but you'll never get

316
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: me to take it seriously.

317
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: I still understand why people think Jay Huff intentionally missed

318
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: those two free throws against the Clippers there, and it's like,

319
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: wait a second, he flopped to try to get to

320
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: the free throw line. He could have just lost the

321
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: game right then and not flopped, Like, why is he

322
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: trying to extend the game at all.

323
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, JFF definitely didn't have no money on that game.

324
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 3: That's for Dann Short like they cared about that game,

325
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: Like Jay Huff he was tying his shoe in the

326
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: middle of the game and and Corney Kirkley gave the

327
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: Balti klaw while Leonard a side out of bounds, brook

328
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: Lose has hit the three and Brooks just laughing him

329
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 3: figure out the court.

330
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: Jay was upset.

331
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: Aaron Nee Smith ascals and they're like, what is happening?

332
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: You know, like as a as a certain coach texted me,

333
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: it's a little different when you stepped to the free

334
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 3: throw line and you got that much waying when you

335
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 3: with the game on the line like that. So you know,

336
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: Jay missed the first and he missed the second. I

337
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: don't it's convenient to say that it was a tanking endeavor.

338
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 3: But look at the rest of the games the Pacers

339
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: played this week. Like they lost sixteen in a row.

340
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: They beat the hell out of the Magic. They did

341
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 3: fall down big against the Lakers, but they kept playing.

342
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: And whoever gambled on that game probably up set about

343
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: how that game turned out. They were up big on

344
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: the Clippers, and even when they blew the lead, they

345
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: continue to play well enough to give themselves a chance

346
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: to win, and then they turn around and on Sunday

347
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 3: they absolutely whipped the Miami Heat, another team that has

348
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 3: a lot to play for right now and really could

349
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: have used that win. They annihilate them. And you know

350
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: who had a big performance in the fourth quarter is

351
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: Jay Huff. Jay didn't play in the first half on

352
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 3: Sunday and then fourth forty played the entire fourth quarter,

353
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 3: a close game going in the fourth quarter, and Jay

354
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 3: pretty much closed out, helped close the Heat out. So

355
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: again it gets wacky in the NBA. There's a lot

356
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: of conspiracy theory. The way this season began with a

357
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: couple of scandals like his people reason to have that

358
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: on their mind. And unfortunately, the NBA is a pretty

359
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: reactionary league, so they let these things go out of

360
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: control with now the league and how the game is

361
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: talked about instead of putting the focused on real good

362
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: players and real good teams. And by the way, again

363
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: that's the league's fault. They let the broadcasters talk about

364
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: like five teams and they keep talking about guys directed

365
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: in the two thousands is the face of the league,

366
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: and there are other players and other teams that they

367
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: you know, want to wait and see you in golf platform.

368
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 3: So it is what it is. Hopefully it gets better

369
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.

370
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Lastly, Lot, quickly here, I'm going to talk about in

371
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: the final hour, But did we learn anything from Scottie

372
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Pippen doing the Mister Pip commercial or Isaiah Thomas talking

373
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: about KD would have won six rings if he was

374
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: on those Bulls teams too. When it comes to the

375
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: goat debate this week, I think a.

376
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: Lot of feelings would hurt. And Michael Jordan was at

377
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: the top of his game. I'll leave it at dead.

378

00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Hello, gotcha?

441
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, I remember Christian Latner and with Duke can Stop

442
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: and then he's in the Timberwolf. I I love my

443
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: Vikings and Twins, and the Twins are assumed to be

444
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 2: the Woven World very champions.

445
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: You think so?

446
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't.

447
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

448
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, Santana's not walking through that door.

449
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: Okay, No, Johan he said he was the one that said,

450
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: well maybe some people just ain't gonna be around anymore.

451
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh ever, I thought that was Tory Hunter.

452
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 4: That was after he won a triple crowd of pitching.

453
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: Hey, you remember that time in the All Star Game

454
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: when Tory Hunter snagged that home run away from Barry Bonds.

455
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: I love it, But I got a question about the

456
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: strike zone.

457
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: Okay.

458
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: I played league baseball and I was good. I played

459
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: fast softball and.

460
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 5: I was decent. And I played what we.

461
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: Called modified kitch softball in and around the Minneapolis area.

462
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: Which wasn't as fast because it wasn't a full Windio

463
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: you understand.

464
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm falling.

465
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 4: Maybe.

466
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 2: Why are so many Major League Baseball players looking at

467
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: third strike pitches that are hitible pitches and striking out

468
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 2: looking I'm.

469
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Gonna guess that speaks to the greatness of pitchers in

00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: you only retro game, it's really hard to connect with

559
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: people because that means not exactly gaming online so much.

560
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Although I do have. Let me tell you this, Mike,

561
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,960

562
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: company called Arcade one Up and they make these arcade

563
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: machines that are like one third of the size of

564
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: the original, so they're cheaper and they can actually fit

565
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: in your house. And I built one, and it was

566
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: the NBA GM arcade machine and that does go online.

567
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean JAM tournament edition.

568
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,520

630
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: smart ass and picking all the favorites all the way

631
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: through my bracket, and Duke was the number one overall seed,

632
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: so naturally I had them winning it all. I was

633
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: just trying this out to see how that would help

634
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: my bracket if I just picked favorites the entire way

635
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: and I'm screwed.

636
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 5: Now, Well, tell me you think can make it all

637
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 5: the way?

638
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. Those Wildcats now they're out of the

639
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. They're the last team to win a Natty

640
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: from the PAC twelve. They won in ninety seven with

641
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: Mike Baby.

642
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 5: Mike Baby, Miles Simon. Remember those years, But no more.

643
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 5: I missed the PAC twelve. It's the big pen now.

644
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: It honestly would be sad to see in some ways

645
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: Arizona win because it's, you know, a PAC twelve zombie

646
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: team winning the national championship. And the PAC twelve went

647
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: for so long without winning in basketball when they used

648
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: to dominate back in the day. It would be a

649
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: little bit sad, but I'm okay with it.

650
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 5: But he credit, then you drop seven my favorite games,

651
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 5: the whole world cheesy.

652
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: It's not just because of Tiefas Boobs. Right, it's not

653
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: because of that.

654
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 5: Right, was the cheesiest movie you ever made?

655
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: Bro So now when it first came out, Mike, how

656
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: dare you?

657
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 5: It was so bad? It was so bad resident evil,

658
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: cheesy movie.

659
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, all right, but look

660
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: there's some bad video game movies. We talked about that earlier.

661
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: But Mike, I gotta take a time out. Eight seven,

00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: to speak? Dave Roberts embraced it. He said, yeah, we

668
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: want to ruin baseball some more, which means they're gonna

701
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 4: white white TUXI you know, can't callaway Tisa Romero and

702
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 4: Rick Bettino. Now the thing would Saint John people have

703
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 4: to realize they'll they'll fly they'll fly a recruit in.

704
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 4: They'll bring up to the campus and the kid gets

705
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 4: to the campus and then he turns to his agent,

706
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: how fast can we get back to the airport. I

707
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 4: mean it's like it's like an old building on a

708
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: city street. That's what it is. These kids want to

709
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: be on campus. And yeah, and listen, Saint John's they

710
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 4: got to bring in some They got to do better

711
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: job on the boards with rebounding, boxing out and stuff

712
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: like that, or you're not going to win these games.

713
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: Like they took it as far as they could go.

714
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: They lost to a good duke duke Duke Duke of

715
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Earl team. What's wrong with that?

716
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with it. I'm just saying. But if they

717
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 4: had some rebounding there. They could have. They had leads

718
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 4: late in the game, but just they just didn't have

719
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: any rebounding to stop them. They when you don't rebound,

720
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 4: the other team can fast break the other team. We

721
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 4: can get, you know, score off the rebound.

722
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 5: And that's it.

723
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: That that's basically it. And the guy with the hot

724
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: hand with the three points prayer, he should have been

725
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 4: out there, would have minute left, he should have been

726
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 4: out there.

727
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: I felt like they were really missing Chris Mullin in

728
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: that game.

729
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 4: You know, well, either Chris or Brian or Joey Bullen

730
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 4: one of those freaks of help at the end of

731
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 4: that game.

732
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: That's anyone with the flat top would have helped.

733
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: That's it.

734
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 4: Chris Bullen. He was six foot six to the top

735
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 4: of his hair and six foot five to the top

736
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 4: of his head. But anyway, Mullen Bulan put the big

737
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: East on the on the mat him and you and

738
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 4: didn't look when you and want it right and eighty

739
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 4: four they brought in a freshman by the name of

740
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 4: Michael Graham. Right, I'm a former story and that's why

741
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 4: I know this stuff. And he he helped with the

742
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 4: rebounded man. He helped big time. They became academic and

743
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 4: uh and eligibly. He was on the cover of Sports

744
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: run out and pulled that off. But that's how they won.

745
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: You went out with the boards and that's how they

746
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 4: beat him, all right, And that was that was the

747
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 4: last year of the shot clock in college basketball. That game.

748
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: But anyways, that thirty two what year was that nineteenth?

749
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 4: That was nineteen nineteen eighty four. That was the last

750
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 4: year's shot I was going over. But listen, the thing is,

751
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 4: you should go with all court. You got some great calls.

752
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: You should just like let three or four callers go

753
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 4: at it and you and cool.

754
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: Isn't there like a bed mallor street fight thing they do?

755
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 4: It?

756
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't that happen.

757
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 4: Day he does. I'm telling you steel cage matches. But

758
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 4: the thing is you and Coop and they were able

759
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 4: to go down the block to the to the burger

760
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 4: joint and have a burger while these guys go. I'm

761
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 4: telling you take old call in.

762
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: I just clock out and just let the callers run

763
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: the show. That's what he's saying. The inmates run the asylum.

764
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 1: What is this?

765
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm saying you could take a nice break

766
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 4: and go down the block and go to a burger joint,

767

775
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,440

776
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: it feels like right now. I just got a spitball

777
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: to the eye. I'm shocked how much Ben takes willingly,

778
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: But I like your substitute teacher. Yeah, that's that's good.
