Speaker 1: It's a bet Okay. Hey, Asian Wilson is back. So

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Game seven of the NBA Finals averaged over sixteen million

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: viewers on Sunday. It is the most watched Finals game

41
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: in six years. Right thunder winning one oh three ninety one. Uh,

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: this is big news for the NBA concerned in Game

43
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: one had just under nine million viewers for Game one. Uh,

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: this is a big deal, right and and you know, yes,

45
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of conversations that happened about ratings for

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: the NBA especially, And there's a lot of conversations that

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: are irrelevant, and there's some that you have to have.

48
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: The irrelevant ones are, oh, people aren't watching, Nobody cares

49
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: about the NBA. The NBA's two woke or whatever crazy

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: ass stuff that's being said about it. Number one, it's

51
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: really hard to measure ratings now because of the different

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: ways that people consume sports. I mean, yeah, one of

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: the biggest Shorts fans I know right that I had.

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: I had dinner with him this week, Oh frostmember Jerry

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: right from We went to the Jets Chargers game with him.

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: My friend Jerry, would you say to me when the

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: charge is won like forty two to nothing? A bunch

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: of years ago we went to Gino Smith. Of course, Jerry,

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: like Jerry is the biggest Padres fan in the world.

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: But he hasn't had a spind he watches all the games.

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: He hasn't had any sort of cable package in years.

62
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: He just streams what he wants son. He's a Mets fan, right, No, No,

63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: he lives in Diecey. Sure, Jerry Seinfeld is a Mets fan.

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: What's wrong with one soda? Why does he strike out

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: in the eighth penning? Well, but that was part of

66
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: the big thing when I went to that Barrett conference,

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: just talking about it from a radios. So what's going

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to measure things that it's become so difficult, fractured, you know,

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: the different ways people consume things, And on the television side,

70
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: it's that much more noise trying to sort through it

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: and get to a real number. But it's still it's

72
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: it's a bad optic when you talk when you have

73
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: bad when you have bad ratings, and a good optic

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: when you have good ratings. Now, why suddenly did we

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: at nearly over sixteen million people and it peaked at

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: nineteen million in the fourth quarter? Why does this happen?

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: Suddenly people start caring about the thunder and the pacers

78
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: throughout that. No, they didn't, right, because I saw that,

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Oh people started getting into the finals more. No, they didn't,

80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: that's not what happened. Give sports fans more credit than that, right,

81
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: because I'll tell you exactly why we have become a

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: society where we now watch sports when we have to, right,

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: Like we know when we can parse stuff out, and

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: we watch when it matters. And we watch every Sunday

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL because every Sunday means so much. Games

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: that your your local team is playing one day a week,

87
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: you watch that game right now. Do you watch Monday

88
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: Night too? Yeah? Do you watch Thursday night too? Yeah,

89
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: but not as much as you watch your local team,

90
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: and you pick and choose. Hey, I'd love to watch

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the Monday night game tonight, but I can't because I

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: have a bar mitzvah, or I have a dinner, or

93
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: I have a Kensanier, or I have a dinner with family,

94
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: or I have a business dinner. Right, I don't football? Well,

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: you never know. Yeah, people people still still schedule stuff.

96
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: I mean, you think they would know by now. But

97
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: that happens, right, So, okay, get a cheaper rate on

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: the banquet halls. But but my team is playing. I

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to make that happen. Right. Major

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: League Baseball, Hey, you play every day, you watch, sometimes

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: you miss, But here's the NBA. Right, Let's focus on

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: the NBA. The NBA asks a lot of you. They

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: ask more of you than any other sport, more than

104
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: the NHL, more than Major League Baseball, more than the NFL.

105
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: They say, we're gonna give you a three month marathon

106
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: of playoffs, right, We're gonna this is gonna see them

107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: feel like it goes forever. And when just when we

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: get to the best part, we're gonna give you a

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: schedule that looks like it's gonna take two and a

110
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: half weeks to play this NBA Finals, Right, And you

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: lose a lot of steam, a lot of momentum because

112
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: for the viewer and for the fan, it's okay, it's

113
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: all everything you did to get to the finals. And

114
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: now suddenly, yeah, game one is in five days, and

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: Game two is three days after that, and Game three

116
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: is a couple of days out. Then we're taking three

117
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: days off until Game four, and you lose a lot

118
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: of steam and momentum. Now, think about this from the

119
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: perspective of when you're gonna tune in and watch. People

120
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: didn't start watching the series going, oh I like the

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: thunder or oh I like the paces. If they didn't

122
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: like the paces of Thunder going in, no one just

123
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: does our homeogo, I'm gonna learn about these teams. Oh, look,

124
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: I like this. No, what it is is it's the

125
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. So the average NBA fan knows, and the

126
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: average sports fan knows because our lives are different now,

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: and our lives are taken up by much more, much

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: more events, and we're busier than we ever were, and

129
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: there's big things going on politically, or there's big things

130
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: going on over the course of a week. I pick

131
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: and choose when I need to watch games. And for

132
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: NBA fans, the average NBA fan is going, Oh, the

133
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. They don't starting the five day you know what.

134
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: I'll check back in with that series as it gets longer,

135
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: and if it gets closer at the end, I'll watch.

136
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: So what did we get? We got Game seven, Game seven.

137
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch Game seven. It's a Sunday, it's a

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: Sunday night. The last of us isn't on. The season

139
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: is over. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch it. Right, we're

140
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: out of school, we're into the summer. People are getting

141
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: on vacation. I'm gonna watch Game seven of the NBA Finals.

142
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: It didn't matter who it was, it was Indiana Oklahoma City.

143
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: It could have been the Kings and the Pistons. It

144
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: could have been the Knicks and the Lakers. But people

145
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: are gonna watch Game seven because it's a thing. It's

146
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: when the NBA matters. And this is when the NBA

147
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: happened to matter here because it's an NBA finals of

148
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: two smaller market teams. It doesn't didn't quite have the

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: star power. So yeah, if it doesn't grab your attention

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: right away, you're gonna say when do I need to

151
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: tune in? If it was Nicks Lakers, you would say,

152
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm watching game one, Game two, game Vinay, it doesn't matter.

153
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: But when you feel this series needs to be it's

154
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: getting your attention, that's when you'll watch. So people started

155
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: watching and it just happened to matter for Game seven, Right,

156
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: that's just happened to be where this is for the playoffs.

157
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: But that's it for all sports. Now we watch when

158
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: things matter. Do we watch college football every Saturday? Yeah?

159
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Do you watch every game? Do you watch Saturday night? Get?

160
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: No?

161
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: You pick and choose because we're generally overserved in sports.

162
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Now we get there. You know, for all of the

163
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: talk about oh the dude, look at these games, how

164
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: you have to pay to watch this game? Pay to

165
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: watch this game? You know, we get everything? Now you

166
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: get everything. You get, You get all kinds of college

167
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: football you could possibly want. On Saturdays, you get everything

168
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: single NFL you could possibly want. On Sundays, right, you

169
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: get no even no matter what your cable package is.

170
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: You get your local team, you get a doubleheader, you

171
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: get the Sunday night game. It do you get? You

172
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: get the Monday night game? Okay, right, you get enough football? Right,

173
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: We're overserved. So now fans are getting a little bit

174
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: smarter and getting a little bit more picky and a

175
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: little bit more strict with their time saying okay, you

176
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: know what, It's not like it used to be, where

177
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: while I'm watching the game on Monday, watching the game

178
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: on Thursday, watching the game. No it's okay, well I'm

179
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna miss this. I can miss that, but I have

180
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: to watch this. We watch when it matters. Game seven mattered,

181
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: didn't matter the matchup, but people watch. That's why you

182
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: had sixteen nineteen million people. Well why you get twenty

183
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: million people watching the ends a men's tournament final and

184
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: watch the rest of the year. There's consequence. Obviously, you

185
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: get into the march madness, and people have their wagers,

186
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: their pools, whatever else, and now they want to be

187
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: an expert on all the teams that made the field

188
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: and complain about the couple that got snubbed all of

189
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: those things. But it's it's the curiosity, and I always

190
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: get the blowback of yeah, you guys and media, you're

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: given this, you're giving that. It's like, no tickets and

192
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: stuff don't flow as quickly as you thought. And nobody

193
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: has handed me any money to pay me for any

194
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: of my streaming services anytime recently. So I'm paying just

195
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: like you. But you have the choice. As you talked

196
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: about growing up, what did we have? I had the

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: Bears and then either the Cowboys or the forty nine

198
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: ers after it. On a Sunday Monday night football, I

199
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: got to stay up for a half. Occasionally you can

200
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: convince your parents to let you stay up a little

201
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: bit longer. That's it. I used that to you. Yeah,

202
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: because I would watch the first time, I would always

203
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: have to go to beut a head here in New York.

204
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm in Chicago. Yeah, game starts, I have to go

205
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: to bed before like ten third. Like you can watch

206
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: the first half, right, and I go to I go,

207
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: I go to bed, and I'm thinking about the game.

208
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: It's like ten three at halftime, and think at all

209
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: the Giants couldn't run the ball or the Redskins were

210
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: doing this, so the Cowboy's doing this. And then you

211
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: wake up the next day and goes, yeah, you know finals,

212
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: go Cowboys beat the Giants twenty eight, twenty seven. Well,

213
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, a last second touch of bascle. It doesn't

214
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: even seem like the same game that I watched, the

215
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: entire first halftime, adjustments there was what there were there

216
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: were there were like four touchdowns in the second half hour.

217
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: It would seem like the same game. But that's it, right,

218
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: that that's the way we consume things. And now people

219
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: complain about the service like you don't have to watch

220
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: it all, like nobody's forcing you to. And clearly you

221
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: voted as a collective. Again, noise and numbers, but to

222
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the you come when it matters and these numbers. Anybody

223
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: that's trumpeting, Oh yeah, I guess they you know the

224
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: little guy people watch, Yeah, people watch a game seven, Yeah,

225
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: that the two can still be a I don't care

226
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: what uniform it was, what city it was could have

227
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: been the two smallest markets in the known universe. If

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: they're playing in a game seven, winner take all, I'm

229
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: showing up, especially if you know, I'm done with my

230
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: soccer tournament for the weekend in and I'm trying to

231
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: relax a little bit. Yeah, I mean, I wonder if

232
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to a point where and again that

233
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: this could be this is just me, you know, spitballing

234
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: where people are gonna bid on games, and and networks

235
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: are gonna bid on games, and they're gonna say, we

236
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: just want to bid on game five through seven of

237
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: the finals, right, you will split it. It'll be less money,

238
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: and we have games one through four and then because

239
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: that it used to be that way, right NBCA. I

240
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: remember sometime like NBC would say that, oh we god

241
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: fun the first four games. Hey now the t now,

242
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: TNT crew whatever would take you to the last five.

243
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if we ever get back to that where it's, hey,

244
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: game one through four is gonna be one level of

245
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: pricing to bid on, but if you want games five

246
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: through seven, you bid on that. Obviously, if there's no

247
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: game five, you know, you know the money is not there.

248
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: So I wonder if that would ever be part of

249
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: part of a package going on. You get this is

250
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna bid on. Yeah, the hard part is that,

251
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: and then you got to do all the make goods

252
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: or just give all the money back. So how early

253
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: is it paid to you buy advertiser but you spent

254
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: you sell those ad spats giving back anyway, even if

255
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: one network has it, you don't have Game six, Game seven,

256
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: you're still giving. My point is you're you're collecting all

257
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: that ad money you got to get back. You got

258
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: to really make the most of your investments. It's like

259
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: buying concert tickets. What it's a concert November? What is it?

260
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: It's February three. I'll get that money back to you,

261
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: just just to give me a little bit. Okay, Okay,

262
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: hey Bernice, when they call again and you can't find me, okay,

263
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: we've invested this. Much like when you went to the

264
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: car wash money a new car. Nobody there's no car

265
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: wash there. You gotta listen to the whole show. Nice

266
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: call back, but again, I mean, this is what we

267
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: watch when it matters. Now, that's bad news for the

268
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: for for networks who are spending all money on stuff

269
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: because Hey. Live programming is always a big thing, but

270
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: now we're much more discerning because we're overserved with sports,

271
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: and especially this NBA Finals. Yeah, like if you if

272
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, Hey, NBA Final. But we're waiting four days

273
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: and they're starting and game six, Game seven isn't for

274
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: two and a half weeks. Yeah, I'll keep track of

275
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: it and maybe i'll watch the end of the game.

276
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: If it's close, I'll tune in, but I don't really

277
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: need to. Yeah, I want to watch game six or

278
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: Game seven. I'll still follow Following along without watching has

279
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: become a great sportsman's and sports fans way of consuming sports.

280
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: The last, following along without watching, that's a big thing.

281
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,959

Speaker 1: We got the game coming up in a few minutes.

325
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Frostburg's got a game. I asked if it was about

326
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: Martin Cove or Cobra kay reunions, and he said, if

327
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: a man confronts you on the street, that man is

328
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: your enemy, so he's not lying. The uh. The headline

329
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: that shared importance with Game seven of the NBA Finals

330
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: a day ago, Kevin Durant dealt to the Houston Rocket.

331
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: KD said, hey, listen, it's one of my preferred destinations.

332
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: And the deal goes down, and now KD is a

333
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Houston Rocket. Two big things One Houston gave up way

334
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: too much for Kevin Durant, way too much. Jalen Green

335
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: is a young, ascending player, led the team in scoring

336
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: last year. I don't care if maybe we were looking

337
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: for way to move on. You didn't need to give

338
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: him up to get a thirty seven year old Kevin Durant. Right,

339
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: you traded away Dylan Brooks as well, who is a

340
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: great rotation guy. These guys are getting so yeah, but

341
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean they're valuable, right, someone who plays great d

342
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: hits threes, right, because he hits threes, These guys are

343
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: valuable number ten overall pick five second round picks. It's like,

344
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: who did you bid against for Kevin Durant. Nobody else

345
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: was gonna give any of that up, right, Nobody else

346
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: is gonna give it Kevin Durant is basically it's a

347
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: salary dump. Okay, it's money. It's not working out. Phoenix

348
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: was desperate to move on from him. Mark Stein hold

349
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: us that on Friday night when he joined us, and listen,

350
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: Phoenix wants to make a trade and have Kevin Durant

351
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: dealt before the draft so badly. And the Rockets decided, hey,

352
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna panic and give you everything. I mean, really,

353
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: you're talking about two starters. One is a young, ascending player.

354
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't get it, right, I don't get that you

355
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: had to give up this much for Kevin Durant. Hey,

356
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna take him off of your hands. Right. He's

357
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: not Kevin Durant to five seven years ago. This is

358
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: not This is a Kevin Durant in twenty twenty five.

359
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: That okay? Is he still gonna be healthy enough? He's

360
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: a guy that scores. But we'll get to his impact

361
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: in a minute. But overall, this was way too much.

362
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you every NBA team right now is saying, oh, well,

363
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad we stayed out of that because we weren't

364
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: giving up anything close. We feel good not going into

365
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: the Spurs, feel good not going in on that for

366
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant the Knicks. In the beginning, we're saying, nope, sorry,

367
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: we don't want KD by way. I know, oh you

368
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to come to us five seven years ago

369
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: when you had a chance. Oh now, forget it, we

370
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: don't want you out. Every team around the NBA is said,

371
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we didn't going on that. Yeah, I

372
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: think some of it comes back to it was narrowed

373
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: down to three teams where Kevin Durant had the hand

374
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: in the deal, as he talked about in his interviews

375
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: at Fanatics Fest. You know when he found out, broke

376
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: the news on stage with Taylor Rooks and then talking

377
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: to Kay Adams and everybody else. But it's the idea

378
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: that you bring him into a pretty good roster and

379
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: you kept a pretty good core. You had to distress

380
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: property in theory in Phoenix that you shouldn't have had

381
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: to give up much. But you can argue that five

382
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: second round picks isn't a whole lot, right, It's no,

383
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: but it's more value and more assets that you're able

384
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: to know. I get it right, the number ten, not

385
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: like the number ten pick you say, oh, we have

386
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: a guy we're going to get. But it's the value

387
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: of that pick, the value of five seconds to be

388
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: able to move around, to be able to sweet like

389
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: you give up like I want like me, I really

390
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: want that, Jimmy Johnson, charge them. Okay, here's the value

391
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: of everything you gave up and what it means like

392
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: when you go to a dynasty trade calculator in football,

393
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: going oh, do I want to trade so and so

394
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: for so and so. And they calculate a player's value

395
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: not just for this year, but for the rest of

396
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: their career and say, Okay, you're trading a player that's

397
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: got a value of seven thousand for a player with

398
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: a value of three thousand. Don't do this deal. Or

399
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: you're trading a player with a value of five thousand,

400
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: you're asking for a player with a value of ten thousand.

401
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: That team is not going to that owner is not

402
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: going to do that trade with you. Yeah, we'd heard

403
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: that had been down to three teams talking Miami trying

404
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: to make a splash, but there were young players they

405
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to get rid of. You talk about san Antonio,

406
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: They sure as hell weren't giving up the number two pick.

407
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: And if they were able to get de Aaron Fox

408
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: without giving up any of their core, they weren't going

409
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: to give up any of those guys for Kevin Durant.

410
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: So that was a non starter. So that leaves you

411
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: with Houston and they get to keep Singoon, They get

412
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: to keep Aman Thompson, some of the other Smith junior

413
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: and go on down the line. They keep a lot

414
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: of a roster that got them to the second place

415
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: finish in the regular season. The one thing with Jalen Green,

416
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: what does he do? He's a scorer. Kevin Durant's a score.

417
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's a proven guy at the back end. And

418
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: I know you've got an injury history, his age, many

419
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: a weary mile on those legs. But I think with

420
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Houston they'd signed Jalen Green, and he's a guy that

421
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: we'd heard potentially trade rumors. I'd seen him photoshopped into

422
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: myriad uniforms over the last couple of months of he

423
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be here because they hadn't seen the advancement.

424
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: And with Udoka that he's got other veterans like Van

425
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: Vliet and others that you bring in. Kevin Durant, he's

426
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: your closer and you can be judicious with his minutes

427
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: to keep him fresh for the long, arduous second season

428
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: of the playoffs that we've been talking about here tonight.

429
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: So in the end, while it looks a lot, you're

430
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: not exactly talking about a bevy of draft picks that

431
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: are expected to become superstars out of this draft either.

432
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: So the number ten pick doesn't have the same juice.

433
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: Perhaps that it did once upon a time, roster building

434
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: being at a different place than it was a few

435
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: years back. Now, the other part of it is this,

436
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: how much do I like this trade for the Rockets? Nah? Now,

437
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: only because you know, I say what I say, and

438
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: I think what I think, and I said that I'm

439
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: not a big I'm not going to go crazy to

440
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: get KD. And I don't like the Rockets gave up

441
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: too much. But the one team I said that is

442
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: the best fit where Slim Reaper can come right in

443
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: and contribute is the Rockets because they need somebody to

444
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: make big shots at the end of game, right, the

445
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: one thing they're missing, Right, They had a nice, really

446
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: good young corn Loook shing Gun is really good and

447
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: Fred van Vliet is a terrific point guard. You know

448
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: they need someone, Okay, So I get it right, So

449
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: I get KD because he kind of fits there. But

450
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: KD is not sending you and not bringing you to

451
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: the finals. He's not right because he's someone who, at

452
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: this point in his career, he gets his he gets

453
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: his points. That's what he does, right, He gets his points, right,

454
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven a game, he gets it. But players who

455
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: get their points They're not leading you anywhere, right, I

456
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: guarantee you. The next thought, Gay getting Kevin Durant, He's

457
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna lead us to the fight. Nope, didn't happen. Again,

458
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: she was too big, I guarantee you. The Phoenix Suns thought, hey,

459
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna lead us some Nope, not happening. Right. So

460
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: the last two teams the last six years both thought

461
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: KD is gonna bring us there, and he didn't lead

462
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: them anywhere. And this is when he was playing with

463
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: really good all NBA type players on the team on

464
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: both of those teams, and it didn't work. Yeah, you're

465
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: getting a guy that can score, and he's gonna score

466
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: in big moments, Kenny, Yeah, but can he still score

467
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: with teams that are gonna roll coverages to him in

468
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: the final final minute of games? Is he's still gonna

469
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: be that guy at thirty seven? Can he still play?

470
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: Can he stay healthy? Right? Like this is I don't

471
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: look at Kevin Durant as a piece it's gonna put

472
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: them over the top. Yeah he fits with Houston. Okay, great,

473
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: But I'm just kind of met on it. And I

474
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: get that the odds for the Rockets to go to

475
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: the finals had to go down because people are gonna say, oh,

476
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: let me put money on them. Sorry, we got to

477
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: make it down because that's gonna be a big bet.

478
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: It'll be an expensive payout for Vegas. But overall, like

479
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: like KD is not suddenly gonna like in seven years

480
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: he's been, he's not been really relevant in seven years.

481
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: Only now on this Rockets team, seven years after the

482
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: last time he was he really meant something, which was

483
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. He's doing day Now, He's gonna lead them

484
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: to the finals. Not happen. Come on, he never did

485
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: leg day And that was the guy that came into

486
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the league. They were like, ah, this guy's never gonna

487
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: make it. Look how leany is that. I go back

488
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: and look at his tops, chrome rookie card, and I

489
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: see sticks where legs should be. Uh, And yet here

490
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: he is all these years later and so many points.

491
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: But it's to the to the point for what Houston

492
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: is that with the number two seed out of the West,

493
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: you lose to the Warriors, go back to Phoenix and

494
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: the imperfect roster, and this is where it's the curiosity, right,

495
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: and that changeover seven champions seven years. As we've talked

496
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: about but also you're not looking at a team that's

497
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, replete with but just superstars that we have,

498
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: and that was in vogue for a while. What didn't

499
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: work in Brooklyn. Again, if his shoe was a half

500
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: size smaller, maybe we have a different outcome. And Milwaukee

501
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: never gets their title. But then he goes to Phoenix

502
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: and now you got to combat de Marcus Cousins saying

503
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: everybody was fist fighting in the background, so that you

504
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: got that going on, which is fun. So in perfect

505
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: Truck here it's a bunch of guys still on the

506
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: come and guys that have shown to be good teammates,

507
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: like ver Fred van Vliet, And he got a guy

508
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: in Nudoka showing that he could be a leader. So

509
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: Durant trade out for Jalen Green. He's a scorer. Durant's

510
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: a score, come in and do his thing. So I'm

511
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: slightly bullish. And also we were just talking about okay

512
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: see and not really saying all right, they gave us

513
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 1: the best sixty eight wins and they got their title,

514
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: but you could see the flaws in their game. So

515
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: if you're Houston, why wouldn't you say, hey, let's push in.

516
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: We get rid of the guy that we have already

517
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: paid that we don't see developing in this system. Get

518
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: more minutes, more playing time and rotation for these other guys,

519
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: and you bring in the slim reaper to close the

520
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: door like it. I'll tell okay, you watch wait and see.

521
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, this season's going to be a lot like

522
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: last season. Well yeah, because that's kde I'm telling you,

523
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: it's just meh. It's just meh. Time not to find

524
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: out what's trending in the wide rolling sports. But guy

525
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: who was definitely not meth it's Steve de Seger wife.

526
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, hey, good even to you once again, gentlemen. Pacers

562
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: Buehler was the Boston starter, no decision, but it was

563
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: an adventure. He allowed five runs in the first, including

564
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: two bases loaded walks and the bases loaded hit batter,

565

00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 5: talk about the Angels.

593
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: Okay, true, but they did something tonight. Like your friend

594
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: Jason stark A, he says, right, something that you've ever

595
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: seen some years in baseball, you see something new all

596
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: the time. Yes, this is the second time this has happened. Okay,

597
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: with Reed, Debtmers and Sam Bachman pitching the night for

598
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: the Angels. Okay, they got all eight of their first

599
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: round picks in the game. Okay, that's a quiz.

600
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,320

601
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: Troy Percival. I'm doing that. The Angels are the first

602
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: team to use all eight of their own first round

603
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: draft picks in the game since the Brewers in nineteen

604

608
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: their own correct. Wow. Okay, so first time since ninety

609
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: one Brewers. But I will make you name the eight

610
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,000

674
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: Willy Randolph. He's not the answer.

675
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,960

682
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: Really upset that I didn't get Jeff Jenkins. I'm trying

683
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: to think of a starting pitcher that may have started

684
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: the game for the for the Brewers in ninety one.

685
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,920

Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

721
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm your poppy Chulow. So as we get say, as

722
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: we put the NBA season to bed and get ready

723
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: for the draft. It's one day to put it to bed,

724
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: done in thirty six hours.

725
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 5: Uh.

726
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: Look, we're still coming off Game seven of the NBA

727
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Finals and Tyres Halliburton's Achilles injury that honestly had flipped

728
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: the game. Things were going the Pacers way in the

729
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: first half and that would have been a game. You

730
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: could tell they were starting to put their will on

731
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: the game. But second half without Halliburton, it was just

732
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: too much to overcome. They couldn't hit their threes. But

733
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: the big takeaway from this is that, and you know,

734
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: cause you always learn from something like this, is that

735
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: Halliburton's just the latest star player to have a calf

736
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: strain turn into a full blown Achilles tear, which we've

737
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: seen now for many players. Right, three players had it

738
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: happened this this postseason, including two superstars. Right. We watched

739
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: the Jets season get derailed because Aaron Rodgers strain calf

740
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: turned into a full blown Achilles two years ago. Right,

741
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: Kevin Durantz strain calf in the NBA Finals turned into

742
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: a full blown Achilles. You were gonna see teams now

743
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: when when a player has a strained calf like that

744
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: used to be like, ah, it's a one to two

745
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: week injury, Like you're Halliburton, say I'd be out in

746
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: what one or two weeks? Okay, But that's now gonna

747
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: become a six week injury because teams are gonna say

748
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: it is not worth it for a strained calf to

749
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: try to come back and play when clearly this could

750
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: be the result which would cost you a season and

751
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 1: maybe two seasons depending where it's at, because Halliburn's not

752
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna play probably all this season. Jason Tatum is not

753
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna play probably all of this season. So now you're

754
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: costing them a season and then coming back from an achilles.

755
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: It's generally you see a team a player doesn't get

756
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: back to fully normal until they're two years removed from

757
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: the injury. So teams are gonna see this and go okay, Now,

758
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: we've seen it too many times where someone has an

759
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: achilles injury or someone has a strained calf. We don't

760
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: want it to turn into that, and not all of

761
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: them do, but it's gonna be. We want to be

762
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: safe because this guy is a star player, and we

763
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: don't want to because look at the Celtics, right they

764
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 1: traded Drew Holliday tonight, they're changing up their entire team

765
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: because if Jason Tatum's injury right, Porzingis is gonna go.

766
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: This roster is gonna be unrecognizable next year because they

767
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: have to move on because this era is over. So

768
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: you aren't going to see team say okay when it

769
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: comes to these star players. This injury is going to

770
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: be a six weeks, gonna be a long term thing

771
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: now because better safe than sorry, and we don't want

772
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: you to come back and really really do all kinds

773
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: of career damage because that sets our franchise back, not

774
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: just to you. Well, talk about Tatum, talk about Halliburton.

775
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: You go over to Damian Lillard. Questions of Giannis does

776
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: he stay or does he go? More noise to the

777
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: idea that he stays in Milwaukee and they retool. Eastern

778
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: Conference is up for grabs. He got Cleveland as you

779
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: your clear winner, but you also still have you know,

780
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: Orlando already made a big move to get into it.

781
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: But this type of injury still going through the data, right,

782
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: We've done it with other sports, you know, baseball and

783
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: torn Laboram's and UCLs and and how do you go

784
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,959
Speaker 1: through those processes, How fast do you push a guy

785
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: back and whether it's an inevitable injury that it's going

786
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: to pop eventually. Was the question we asked when Durant

787
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: got onto the court. Going back to the finals. It's

788
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: a question we've asked with Haliburton over the last week,

789
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: you and I talking about It's like, all right, he

790
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: played a lot of minutes, played a lot of good

791
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: minutes in game six when they needed him, until Okasee said, yeah,

792
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: we got a home game in game seven, so he

793
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: only played twenty three minutes. Was that tonight? Because even

794
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: Halliburton put out of a long thing on Twitter and

795
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: had his comments saying, I do it again, I take

796
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: my shot. And also, did you know that you know

797
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: where where was the percentage of all right, you'll be

798
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: able to get through unscathed versus hey, this could blow

799
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: it anything. Where was any of the of the Pacers

800
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: medical concern because that's the big question now, is that

801
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, so you played, he got hurt in

802
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: game five, he got examined, he played thirty four minutes,

803
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: then he got an MRI. Everything was fine. He had

804
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: a full workload in game six until they didn't need

805
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: him because they were up so big, but he didn't

806
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: do anything less And he comes back and plays in

807
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: game seven, like, Okay, where was the I mean you

808
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: put him back on the floor when clearly it looked like, hey,

809
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: you had every single chance to lighten his workload or

810
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: examine him that that's the next big question. Well, and

811
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: he said it was still sore, right, his calf was

812
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: still hurting and entire Latin joked about it and his

813
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: girlfriend helping him while they sat and watched Love Island,

814
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: which evidently is now the thing for NBA players to

815
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: give miser rate about. Maybe the podcast. It's a lot
