Speaker 2: In this right Why because you picked Luga, Because I
Speaker 2: picked an underdog.
Speaker 3: You picked a favorite with home court advantage in Milwaukee's
Speaker 3: second best players out.
Speaker 2: So the Bucks were underdogs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Bucks were underdogs.
Speaker 2: I picked the best player in the NBA on their team.
Speaker 4: Listen, I don't set the odds in Vegas, buddy.
Speaker 3: Here's what happened. We walked up through a roulette wheel
Speaker 3: in Vegas. You walked over and you put your money on.
Speaker 3: You're like black or red, black or red, I'll go black,
Speaker 3: And you were right.
Speaker 2: I was like I think it's gonna be read. You
Speaker 2: were right.
Speaker 3: I walked over and I was like, this is going
Speaker 3: to land on twenty two black exactly And I got
Speaker 3: that exactly right. What We were both correct on something
Speaker 3: and wrong on something. But mine's way more impressive and valuable.
Speaker 3: You understand that, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, I feel like there's like what I won't
Speaker 2: get into that. No, go ahead, get into it.
Speaker 4: We're not even on the air yet.
Speaker 2: I just feel like mine's more impressive because I'm me
Speaker 2: here are you? Oh, It's like grading on a curve.
Speaker 5: Okay, Welcome in.
Speaker 3: It is episode nineteen of the What's Right with Nick
Speaker 3: Great podcast in YouTube show.
Speaker 4: Please like, rate, subscribe, review.
Speaker 3: These episodes come out every Tuesday and Thursday, and on
Speaker 3: Sundays we continue our countdown of the fifty greatest players
Speaker 3: of the last fifty years. We are approaching the top
Speaker 3: twenty five, so be ready for those episodes as well.
Speaker 3: This is a glorious day in my household, A glorious
Speaker 3: day in the world of sports takes where everyone surveyed
Speaker 3: the landscape and only one person outside of the Metroplex
Speaker 3: had the forest, sight, the guts, the courage to pick
Speaker 3: the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Phoenix Suns. We will
Speaker 3: discuss that in a moment. But first, before we get
Speaker 3: to my gloating son, Demons, who has something he wants
Speaker 3: to brag about, we must talk about what we're not
Speaker 3: talking about on today's show. Here is what is not
Speaker 3: on the show. The Reds throw a no hitter but lose.
Speaker 3: There was a Frank Gore knockout that we're not getting to,
Speaker 3: and Oklahoma signed a quarterback named General Booty. We are
Speaker 3: not discussing any of those things. We are, however, going
Speaker 3: to discuss quickly. Small change to the show. We've upped
Speaker 3: the clock. See that, demansexcuse me ten minutes. It's now
Speaker 3: twelve minutes. They have given me the extra two minutes.
Speaker 3: With that, I promise I am going to start hitting
Speaker 3: the clock. It's been two months of not hitting the clock.
Speaker 3: Episode nineteen is the day I turn over a new lead.
Speaker 3: So start the clock right now, Demons. I assume we
Speaker 3: are starting with Luca and the MAVs the glory, So
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 4: What are we starting with?
Speaker 2: The Celtics dominated the Bucks in Game seven on Sunday,
Speaker 2: Giannis ran out of gas and Celtics couldn't seem to
Speaker 2: miss from three. So you know you want to give
Speaker 2: me that Twitter today or tomorrow? How do you want
Speaker 2: to do it? Also, I can't decide what's easier, you know,
Speaker 2: doing your job or betting on sports.
Speaker 3: Okay, So if people don't know, Demanse picked the Celtics,
Speaker 3: They're his favorite team from childhood.
Speaker 4: I picked the Bucks.
Speaker 3: This series was not a quick series analysis before we
Speaker 3: get to the fact that you won and you even
Speaker 3: made the side of the screen.
Speaker 4: You made the rundown before we even get to that
Speaker 4: a series analysis.
Speaker 3: This This game was decided in game six, and Game
Speaker 3: six was the game Milwaukee was supposed to take it.
Speaker 4: Jannis did everything he was supposed to do.
Speaker 3: He had forty four to twenty and six, and the
Speaker 3: difference was Jason Tatum had the game of his life
Speaker 3: and I give him all the credit in the world.
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum in Round one, Game one, game winning way
Speaker 3: Round one, Game three, the most pivotal game of the series.
Speaker 3: You're back in Brooklyn. It's either going to be two
Speaker 3: to one with this series going long, or the Celtics
Speaker 3: in full control of three to zero. Tatum had thirty
Speaker 3: nine points. Pester Durant the whole time. Outplayed Durant led
Speaker 3: that to being a suite. Then Game six, season on
Speaker 3: the line in Milwaukee, with one of the greatest players ever,
Speaker 3: Jannisan den Kumpo, having a peak of his powers. Game
Speaker 3: forty four to twenty and six, Tatum met him eye
Speaker 3: to eye, shot for shot. I don't know if he
Speaker 3: outplayed him or just played him to a draw, but
Speaker 3: that was enough for the Celtics as a whole to
Speaker 3: win the game. That's what decided it. Game seven, Giannest
Speaker 3: was okay but not great. Grant Williams ad seven threes.
Speaker 3: I don't even care about that. What I care about
Speaker 3: is the game six. What Jason Tatum did. He deserves
Speaker 3: all the credit in the world, all the credit in
Speaker 3: the world. Now to our bet. If people don't know,
Speaker 3: I took the Bucks, demanse took the Celtics. If the
Speaker 3: Celtics won, Demonsey was going to get control of my
Speaker 3: Twitter feed yep for twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Here's my question for.
Speaker 3: You, because you mentioned I don't know what's easier sports
Speaker 3: betting or doing my job. I don't know this for certain,
Speaker 3: but I'm guessing even with the Celtics winning your sports
Speaker 3: betting hot streak, maybe hit a cold spell or two
Speaker 3: over the last few weeks. So here's my question. Is
Speaker 3: there a dollar amount I can pay you to buy an.
Speaker 4: Is there a dollar amount?
Speaker 2: So I'm definitely gonna be more than twenty bucks.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's that's fine. They more than twenty bucks I
Speaker 3: have budgeted. I And by the way, producers, I know
Speaker 3: this is terrible for the show, that the listeners get
Speaker 3: nothing and the viewers get nothing out of me simply
Speaker 3: giving demands money. I get it's bad for the show,
Speaker 3: and it's a little cowardly of it. I understand all
Speaker 3: of that still work.
Speaker 2: He just puts his Twitter on a pedestal, you know.
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of things. Yes, you know what
Speaker 3: point it is important. There's half a million people that
Speaker 3: follow it. It is the verify I honestly, here's the
Speaker 3: other thing. I don't want to get into the weeds
Speaker 3: on this, but those of us with verified check marks,
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure if we're allowed to let someone
Speaker 3: else tweet for us, because likeications into the picture is verified,
Speaker 3: they use their policies to you know, corroborate that it
Speaker 3: is us doing the tweeting.
Speaker 4: So here's the deal.
Speaker 3: I need you to think on the number, and by
Speaker 3: the end of today's show, you need to tell me
Speaker 3: what the number would be for me to buy out
Speaker 3: of the bed. Sweet understood. Okay, all right, there it is.
Speaker 3: Let's go to the next topic. Are we now talking about.
Speaker 2: Luca smoked the Suns?
Speaker 4: And yes they did.
Speaker 2: You've been saying Luca is the best you know or
Speaker 2: second best player in the NBA. So here's your chance
Speaker 2: for a victory lap You did call that, Yes, but
Speaker 2: we got to talk about Chris Paul Man. Oh, you
Speaker 2: can't seem to win in the games that matter. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what's the deal here? All right?
Speaker 3: So Chris Paul was awful after Game two. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: he's thirty seven. He's six feet tall. I'm thirty seven.
Speaker 3: I'm six feet tall. That's young and tall for a
Speaker 3: regular person. That's incredibly old and very short for an
Speaker 3: NBA player. With that said, he was thirty six in
Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty days in games one and two,
Speaker 3: same height, and he just fell apart with me. I
Speaker 3: if one is to believe in basketball gods, they would
Speaker 3: say the basketball gods saw Chris Paul and Devin Booker.
Speaker 3: They saw Chris Paul. Remember after game one, when Chris
Speaker 3: Paul was asked about Luca, he scored forty five and
Speaker 3: Chris pos like, Luca, Yeah, they've got Theo Pinson, They've
Speaker 3: got Jalen Bruns, and they got a lot of good players.
Speaker 4: A little bit of shade.
Speaker 3: Then Game two, Chris Paul and Devin Booker are smirking
Speaker 3: Key Kean and laughing about Luca at the press conference.
Speaker 3: It was two instances of utter disrespect for the great
Speaker 3: Luka Ancic, and the basketball God smited Chris Paul. That
Speaker 3: was only the first instance for Devin Booker. So Devin
Speaker 3: Booker was still smooth sailing. Then what happened Game five?
Speaker 3: Game five, Devin Booker does the Lucas Special thing. Basketball
Speaker 3: God said strike two, you're out, Devin Booker, and they
Speaker 3: smiteed him.
Speaker 2: It's weird how that checks out.
Speaker 4: It does check out. It absolutely checks out.
Speaker 3: The prime for Chris Paul's this this is the fifth
Speaker 3: time he's been up two oh in a series, and
Speaker 3: they've watched he has blown a three to one lead.
Speaker 4: He was up two to oh in the finals.
Speaker 3: People are going to hear in a couple of weeks
Speaker 3: on the top fifty players last fifty years. I listen,
Speaker 3: I have Chris Paul is one of the twenty five
Speaker 3: Greys players last fifty years. He is an all time great.
Speaker 3: It is also true that he has had some rutal
Speaker 3: postseason moments. There's no working around me. I happen to
Speaker 3: believe the guy who deserves more scorn is Booker, because
Speaker 3: Booker was chirping this year that he should have been
Speaker 3: considered for MVP.
Speaker 2: He finished fourth in MVP.
Speaker 3: He's in the prime of his career, and the last
Speaker 3: two games he was awful, flatly awful, the final seven
Speaker 3: quarters of Game six and seven, so everything after the
Speaker 3: first quarter of Game six he had twenty two points
Speaker 3: and eleven turnovers on twenty two percent shooting, didn't make
Speaker 3: a single three. So the bigger thing for Chris is
Speaker 3: this Demons. I think they're done in Fieennix, like I don't.
Speaker 3: The windows closed. The window is flatly closed. I don't
Speaker 3: know if Ayton's going to be back. I wonder if
Speaker 3: they consider, if they ask Chris. Maybe they do bring
Speaker 3: Ayton back, but they trade Chris. Whatever it is, he's
Speaker 3: not going to be better than he was this year.
Speaker 3: He flatly is not going to be better than he
Speaker 3: was this year. He had a golden opportunity. Last year
Speaker 3: he finally got to the finals. They're up two OHO
Speaker 3: in the finals, and then Yannis stole it from him,
Speaker 3: and golden opportunity. This year, team's fully healthy, sixty four
Speaker 3: wins a home court throughout light work in the round
Speaker 3: one or it should have been up too oh, and
Speaker 3: then you collapse, a total collapse, the idea that they're
Speaker 3: gonna have a better chance next year. So I think
Speaker 3: Chris Paul probably into his career with just the one
Speaker 3: finals appearance, you can't cash it in.
Speaker 2: This year, you're not gonna cash it in.
Speaker 3: We would have gotten to see Chris Paul versus Step
Speaker 3: in the playoffs one more time.
Speaker 2: Now we're not.
Speaker 4: So I think it's a wrap. I feel badly for him.
Speaker 2: It is unfortunate.
Speaker 3: You know what's also unfortunate. Speaking of gambling, Lou Wayne
Speaker 3: tried to bet me ten thousand dollars with odds. He
Speaker 3: was gonna give me two and a half to one
Speaker 3: twenty five thousand dollars on this series and I turned
Speaker 3: it down.
Speaker 2: You turned it down, but you were saying the pass
Speaker 2: are gonna win.
Speaker 4: I know, but I didn't.
Speaker 3: I it's like a lo lose, Like either I'm wrong
Speaker 3: and I lose ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: It is hard to explain to your mother.
Speaker 3: Or I'm right and Lil Wayne knows me twenty five
Speaker 3: grand I don't you don't want friend zone big money?
Speaker 2: That's a bad okay? Friends, definitely friends, Like you're doubting
Speaker 2: my friendship. Little No, I'm not doubting. He was literally
Speaker 2: texting me. I'm just not doubting his pockets. Lil Wayne
Speaker 2: owing you twenty five.
Speaker 3: He's gonna afford it. But still like what, like it's awkward,
Speaker 3: it's uncomfortable. Oh my god, I promise I was gonna
Speaker 3: hit the elongated clock and now we're short on time.
Speaker 2: All right, what's next? Boston beat Katie and Yannis on
Speaker 2: the way to the Conference finals, yep. Miami beat up
Speaker 2: on Atlanta and Philly, but neither of those wins were
Speaker 2: too impressive. Do you think Boston will be out of
Speaker 2: gas by time Game one comes?
Speaker 3: Or?
Speaker 2: I mean, and also, who do you think will won
Speaker 2: the series overall? All right? I do like Miami in
Speaker 2: Game one. I do think there is an.
Speaker 3: Emotional let down factor.
Speaker 4: The fact that there is not.
Speaker 3: I mean they are playing when people hear and see this,
Speaker 3: They're playing tonight, Tuesday night, they played Sunday. Miami's been
Speaker 3: off for a few days. I think Miami wins Game one.
Speaker 3: I think these games are going to be rock fights.
Speaker 3: These are the two best defenses in basketball. I I
Speaker 3: lean Boston, but I have not fully I lean Boston.
Speaker 3: Not an official pick. I understand that for the podcast listeners. Uh,
Speaker 3: by the time our next podcast is out, the series
Speaker 3: will have gone on. I will put my official pick
Speaker 3: on Twitter because before the Game one, but I need
Speaker 3: to fully deep dive on this. I lean Boston, but
Speaker 3: I also feel like Miami is the most disrespected one
Speaker 3: seed in recent NBA history. They made the finals two
Speaker 3: years ago. Last year they got they got run out
Speaker 3: by Giannis, but Giannis ran everybody out. And this year
Speaker 3: they're the one seed. They have faced hardly any adversity
Speaker 3: in the postseason. If Kyle Lowry gets back, we'll see
Speaker 3: about their full health.
Speaker 2: Big factors.
Speaker 3: That is a big factor. But Gabe mentioned in Truce
Speaker 3: has been good. I don't it's a lot to ask
Speaker 3: if Boston does get there, talk about damn Gauntlet. You
Speaker 3: would have gone to get to the finals, you beat
Speaker 3: Kyrie and Katie, you beat Joannis in round two, and
Speaker 3: then if you beat the number one seed. Here's a
Speaker 3: better not a better question, but a different question. We
Speaker 3: did the big Club superstar thing on first things first,
Speaker 3: if Miami wins, Jimmy Butler must get it, and I
Speaker 3: think I think.
Speaker 2: I got a kick out. Somebody's got to go. Who's
Speaker 2: gonna go?
Speaker 3: I'm not kicking out joh I thought Joe was excellent
Speaker 3: postseason when he played Dame and Kawhi. We gave a
Speaker 3: one year injury reprieve when Tatum just got in. Tatum
Speaker 3: obviously Tatum's going up, not down.
Speaker 2: It is the best possible candidate. I'd honestly what kickout
Speaker 2: Yoka if it injury thing. I'm sorry Dame would have
Speaker 2: to be like Dan, I just revealed to you the
Speaker 2: first one A skeptical Yeah.
Speaker 4: Dame and Dame and I a low key building.
Speaker 2: That's much respect to you. Dave. You were hurt bad, Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was hurt. Taken shots at Dave? All right, last topic,
Speaker 2: what's next? The Warriors didn't seem to take Memphis seriously
Speaker 2: in the last series, so you know everybody's going to
Speaker 2: be going with the MAVs. Now, you're obviously gonna stick
Speaker 2: with your MAVs pig, but you know you gotta be
Speaker 2: worried in some type of way that they're going up
Speaker 2: against Steph. Now, No, I'm not worried at all at all.
Speaker 2: Everyone's not going with the MAVs. The Warriors are huge
Speaker 2: favorites in Vegas, first of all. Second of all, here's
Speaker 2: the problem for the Warriors. They have a Jordan Poole
Speaker 2: problem in this series. Do you think he's the thing
Speaker 2: it's his time? No?
Speaker 4: I just think you can't guard anybody.
Speaker 3: And I think Luca will hunt him in every pick
Speaker 3: and roll, every time down the court. And you might say, Okay,
Speaker 3: they're gonna hide him, but then he'll start hunting step
Speaker 3: and Steph will get in foul trouble. This will be
Speaker 3: a series where at least twice during the series you
Speaker 3: see Steph giving that like quizzical angry look at the
Speaker 3: ref as he goes to the bench with three first
Speaker 3: half bowls, and Jordan Poole is gonna be fresh raw meat.
Speaker 3: I think the MAVs are a better team than the Warriors.
Speaker 3: I think lucas far and away the best player in
Speaker 3: the Western Conference. I've been saying that all postseason. I
Speaker 3: like the MAVs this series. And by the way, if
Speaker 3: it's MAVs Celtics, MAVs one fifty two games, Celtics one
Speaker 3: fifty one, MAVs would have home court for the first
Speaker 3: time since Round one.
Speaker 4: That's the clock. We'll all be right.
Speaker 2: Back, all right. Luca Adontas might be the second best
Speaker 2: player in the NBA, but he has not got enough
Speaker 2: pieces to deal with the Celtics.
Speaker 3: And that's just oh okay, Demonse got to keep that in, guys,
Speaker 3: Demonse getting takes in after the clock, feeling himself. You
Speaker 3: see that confidence, you get one pick right, confidence starts
Speaker 3: to grow.
Speaker 4: Now we'll be right back.

Speaker 3: give me an idea of where you're thinking money wise.
Speaker 2: Give me a range. Arrange. Yeah, range, day, it's the
Speaker 2: five hundreds of one thousands.
Speaker 4: Between the five hundreds and thousands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not thousands, but five hundred to.
Speaker 4: One thousand is the range that is. That's the Okay,
Speaker 4: I listen.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna try to talk you
Speaker 3: out of anything, but I do want to. I just
Speaker 3: want to let you know you're trying to thread a
Speaker 3: needle here because it's going to be you. Just so
Speaker 3: you know you're going there's not gonna be a negotiation.
Speaker 3: You're going to say a number and I'm either going
Speaker 3: to say yes or no, and.
Speaker 2: Then that's it. And then it's you either say no
Speaker 2: or I get the Twitter like after you say no.
Speaker 3: Exactly right, So you got is not gonna be you
Speaker 3: shoot really high, I come back and then we go
Speaker 3: back and forth. But it also means so you don't
Speaker 3: want to go too low, right, but you also don't
Speaker 3: want to go so high. If you want this money.
Speaker 3: You understand, right, it's gonna be You're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 3: You're gonna say a number, and I'm going to say
Speaker 3: yes or no.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, all right, gotcha? All right.
Speaker 3: I don't want to distract you, but I want you
Speaker 3: to understand how we're doing this.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right? What are we starting with it?
Speaker 2: Welcome back in? By the way, what's right? Nick? Right?
Speaker 3: Podcasts and YouTube show like rate, subscribe review I would
Speaker 3: appreciate if you do.
Speaker 4: So what are you starting with?
Speaker 2: Right here? The NBA announced they are renaming the Eastern
Speaker 2: and Western Conference Finals trophies after Bob Cousy and Oscar
Speaker 2: Robertson YEP Conference mv m v P trophies after Magic
Speaker 2: Johnson and Larry Bird YEP as.
Speaker 3: An amateur NBA story, and I figured amateur? Yeah, what's
Speaker 3: the amateur about my NBC?
Speaker 2: You still got you still got to earn some more strikes? Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, yeah, go ahead? As Yeah, so wait was
Speaker 2: least park as? I don't know, buddy, what was.
Speaker 4: The last part?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, is this the chance that Nick makes it?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? Okay, so how am I going to change it?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 2: Here's the deal.
Speaker 5: I am not.
Speaker 3: Talking trash on Oscar Robertson so and all the time,
Speaker 3: but Oscar Robertson started for the majority of the beginning
Speaker 3: of his crew. It was this Cincinnati was in the
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference. He only played in three Western Conference finals
Speaker 3: and only one too. Bob Coosey at least went to
Speaker 3: ten Eastern Conference finals, won seven. So I understand naming
Speaker 3: the trophy after him, but Oscar doesn't make sense. They're
Speaker 3: trying to, you know, respect the older generation.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oscar was in the East.
Speaker 4: Oscar was in the East.
Speaker 2: And I was about to say, so if it was
Speaker 2: him and Bob Coosey that was switched definitely, Like if
Speaker 2: Kobe was in the East, I think Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 3: No, But so you're onto something here, by the way.
Speaker 3: So the problem Oscar was in the East and then
Speaker 3: went to the West, and they named the trophy the
Speaker 3: Western Amend Trophy after him. You're saying it to be
Speaker 3: named after Kobe. I have no problem with Larry and
Speaker 3: Magic having the conference MVP.
Speaker 4: Trophies named after him. That's fine.
Speaker 3: The NBA, though, screwed this up on the trying to
Speaker 3: give Coozie and Robertson some love because Oscar being having
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals Trophy being named after Oscar makes
Speaker 3: no sense. And Kozy, Let's be honest, who's he got
Speaker 3: a Presidential Medal of Freedom. He's got my guy mad
Speaker 3: Dog Russo defending him left and right. Yah, Kho's he's
Speaker 3: got enough love. This should be the Eastern Omerence Trophy
Speaker 3: and the Western Trophy should be named after Lebron James
Speaker 3: and Kobe Bryant. Everyone ignowed. I don't think anyone could
Speaker 3: possibly disagree with that. The problem is twofold one is
Speaker 3: the NBA got over eager and right after Kobe passed,
Speaker 3: they named the All Star Game Trophy after him. So
Speaker 3: you're not going to give multiple trophies to Kobe. That
Speaker 3: was the All Star MVP, not the All Star Game Trophy.
Speaker 3: The All Star MVP is named after Kobe. That trophy,
Speaker 3: that's you're not gonna have Kobe get two of these.
Speaker 3: But if they knew they were gonna name Kobe went
Speaker 3: to Kobe went to the finals how many times?
Speaker 4: Seven times? Seven times?
Speaker 3: Yea yeah, because he has five rings and he lost
Speaker 3: in the finals twice, so he went to the finals
Speaker 3: seven times. He won the Western Conference seven times. Lebron's
Speaker 3: been to ten finals, nine of them were when he
Speaker 3: was with the Calves of the Heat, so he won
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference nine times. It should be Lebron and Kobe,
Speaker 3: not Coozy Oscar that story right? The question is this
Speaker 3: what now? So Bill, here's what I find most interesting.
Speaker 3: Bill Russell has the Finals MVP Award named after him.
Speaker 2: We now have.
Speaker 3: Magic and Larry and Kuzi and Oscar and Kobe, all
Speaker 3: the trophies named after the three best players in the
Speaker 3: league in the league history, no matter the order, we
Speaker 3: all everyone with the brain agrees the three best players
Speaker 3: ever are Lebron, Michael and Kareem. None of them have
Speaker 3: any trophies named after. What's left You could name league
Speaker 3: MVP does not have a name for it, but I
Speaker 3: would think that would go to Kareem because he has
Speaker 3: the most of them. The NBA Championship trophies named the
Speaker 3: Larry O'Brien will running out of trophies now. Maybe they're
Speaker 3: gonna come up with an overall playoff MVP that hasn't
Speaker 3: been released yet, but we're running out of trophies, and
Speaker 3: it's odd to me that Magic, Larry, Oscar Jerry West
Speaker 3: is the logo you just.
Speaker 2: Don't want to get folks their flowers while they're there.
Speaker 3: You know, Well maybe I'm not sure. I just think
Speaker 3: it should have been instead of Oscar. Oscar being getting
Speaker 3: the Western one makes no sense. Again, he won the
Speaker 3: Western Conference twice, he only played in three Western Armans finals.
Speaker 3: Kuzi makes some sense, but still, Kuzi won it seven times.
Speaker 3: Lebron won it none like and Kuzi a lot of
Speaker 3: the time when he was winning it, he was the second.
Speaker 4: Best guy because Bill Russell's there.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would have named it after Kobe and Lebron,
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't have given Kobe the All Star Game
Speaker 3: MVP Trophy.
Speaker 4: But such is life.
Speaker 3: That's this is what they've done. So that's how I
Speaker 3: would have made it right. But nobody asked me. Nobody
Speaker 3: consults me on these things, even though a lot of
Speaker 3: these MVP votes and such would be better if they did.
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we doing now? What game will we play?
Speaker 2: We are playing this or that? Okay? Which is a
Speaker 2: more costly injury? Jah or middle two? Oh?
Speaker 3: The answer is Chris middle the Bucks. Are the Bucks
Speaker 3: win the title? If Chris Middleton never gets hurt.
Speaker 2: Do you disagree? I honestly think we should have thrown
Speaker 2: Robert Williams on their eyes.
Speaker 4: Williams.
Speaker 2: I know they won, but I just think they could
Speaker 2: have done it in a better fashion. Game.
Speaker 4: Robert Williams is the starting center for the team.
Speaker 3: That just be He's the fifth most important player on
Speaker 3: the team at best.
Speaker 2: Is he better than Tatum? No?
Speaker 4: Is he better than Brown?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Is he better than Smart?
Speaker 2: But I I think given that they just played honest like,
Speaker 2: he just would have served a very busy pose.
Speaker 4: Okay, is he better than Smart?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Is he better than your guy? Al Horford underrated.
Speaker 3: Moment from Game seven watching it with Demanse. He wanted
Speaker 3: he can pretend he loves Tatum and he does like Tatum.
Speaker 3: He wanted Al Horford taking every shot every time. He
Speaker 3: was like a parent, like a bad high school parent
Speaker 3: watching their kid. Every time the Celtics came down at court,
Speaker 3: demand would be like, Ah, this is a great time
Speaker 3: for an Al Horford three, and you wanted an owl.
Speaker 2: Al Horford hits a three. I just feel like it
Speaker 2: just does something to the other team. It's like, God, damn,
Speaker 2: we got this guy hidden shots Like this is a problem.
Speaker 3: Wow, dropping gds on the show. Goddamn you you know,
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: You're fine.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, but that's what.
Speaker 3: Gran Williams ended up doing. Grant Williams ended up doing that.
Speaker 3: But so my point is middle I see, yeah, he's
Speaker 3: distracted me. You know what, you zip it for a moment.
Speaker 3: Let me let me answer the question. The Bucks win
Speaker 3: the title if or certainly get best to the Celtics,
Speaker 3: certainly get the finals. Middleton never gets hurt. I think
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies were losing to the Warriors with or without John.
Speaker 3: I love Joh, but the Grizzlies, even with Joh, have
Speaker 3: not shown a strong enough ability to close games throughout
Speaker 3: this postseason with or without Joh. So I think the
Speaker 3: biggest injury thus far this postseason is Chris Middleton.
Speaker 4: There's no question, all right, what's next?
Speaker 2: Okay, bigger? What if no hardened trade or Embeid staying
Speaker 2: healthy throughout the whole Heat series? I got mine, what's yours?
Speaker 2: I think no hard in trade?
Speaker 4: But how come?
Speaker 2: I mean, if Harden never gets traded to Philly, he
Speaker 2: still plays with the Nets. Oh, the Celtics play them.
Speaker 4: Oh, so that's interesting.
Speaker 3: I was thinking about that only from Philly's perspective, but
Speaker 3: your point that if the Nets have Harden, how that
Speaker 3: changes their trajectory once Kyrie gets back. I also want
Speaker 3: to know the hardened thing's so confusing?
Speaker 4: People are? Everyone has just decided he's too old.
Speaker 3: He was last year, he won Player of the Month
Speaker 3: last season back to back months, he averaged thirty three,
Speaker 3: nine and eleven his final four healthy playoff games last
Speaker 3: year against your beloved Celtics. Like the hardened things baffling,
Speaker 3: But to me, it is the Embiid injury because as
Speaker 3: good as Miami is, if it Embiid played and missed
Speaker 3: two of the six games of the series and was
Speaker 3: healthy for zero, and as good as Miami is, they
Speaker 3: didn't have the size to deal with Embiid. I think
Speaker 3: I think it act. I think it would have been
Speaker 3: six or Celtics in the Conference finals. But what I said,
Speaker 3: this stat on every platform, so I'm gonna say it
Speaker 3: on this podcast as well. In the most shocking NBA
Speaker 3: stat that I can remember, the Philadelphia seventy six ers
Speaker 3: have made the not NBA the conference finals one time.
Speaker 3: Since Doctor J retired, Since Julius Irving retired, they have made.
Speaker 4: The conference finals once, so maybe we've been overrating.
Speaker 3: The Sixers all long, but I think they would have
Speaker 3: beaten the Heat if Embiid were healthy, So to me,
Speaker 3: that's the bigger one if all right, what's next?
Speaker 2: Okay? NFL schedule release means that you can start betting
Speaker 2: on the NFL. Yeah, of course, so make a bet
Speaker 2: any team future or any Week one game. Oh.
Speaker 3: I to me, this is very easy, and in fact,
Speaker 3: I'm looking looking for it right now. The exact number,
Speaker 3: but I am hammering the under for Broncos total wins.
Speaker 4: The Broncos total wins there the win to under?
Speaker 2: What what do you mean? Of course? I mean you
Speaker 2: just all time Russell Wilson, you guys.
Speaker 4: Oh, look at that?
Speaker 3: That said future or week one much like future. I'm
Speaker 3: going under on Russell Wilson this year.
Speaker 2: How about that?
Speaker 3: Wow, it's ten and a half. They are not winning
Speaker 3: eleven games. I don't think they're winning ten games, So
Speaker 3: I'm not doing Week one yet. But my favorite preseason bet,
Speaker 3: without a question, is under ten and a half wins
Speaker 3: for the Broncos.
Speaker 4: That's my absolute favorite bet. Do we have one more topic?
Speaker 2: Or we moving on? We are moving on. We don't
Speaker 2: have anyone. We don't have anymore.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I wasn't sure. Oh wow, this is
Speaker 3: what it feels like to finish ahead of time. It's
Speaker 3: amazing with twenty seconds to spare.
Speaker 2: This real bonus time. This, real bonus, real bonus time.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: Have you narrowed your range? What you're thinking? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know the exact number already.
Speaker 2: Don't say it if you know it? Do you know it? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I've got it.
Speaker 3: Okay, Demons's my attempted buy out of the bet plus
Speaker 3: Demanse says he has something to make fun of me about.
Speaker 3: I think you might want to secure whether or not
Speaker 3: you're getting paid or not.
Speaker 2: First.
Speaker 3: We'll do that to wrap the show next. I know
Speaker 3: you got a lot of balls in the air right now,
Speaker 3: you're thinking about money, thinking about how are you going
Speaker 3: to make fun of me in the C block. You're
Speaker 3: You've got these This the most take heavy show by
Speaker 3: you yet.
Speaker 4: Feeling good about the Celtics.
Speaker 3: But you know why I asked you if we skipped it,
Speaker 3: if we had another topic, why, Well, because the little
Speaker 3: bar on the side of the screen said we had
Speaker 3: a Breeze versus Brady thing. He never asked me about it,
Speaker 3: so it looked to me like we had another topic.
Speaker 4: Did we skip a topic?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely skipped a topic. Okay, that's not great.
Speaker 3: Yea. The cruisers work hard, they put these things together.
Speaker 3: I know you think your big time talent now, so
Speaker 3: you can't be worried about what the common man back
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles is doing. These guys are not putting
Speaker 3: these graphics together for you to ignore them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. My rundown was Philaby once again. Yeah, I just
Speaker 2: completely like, I don't know what happened there.
Speaker 4: I know what happened.
Speaker 2: You were too, man.
Speaker 3: You were like, I'm going to get this Robert Williams takeout.
Speaker 3: You're like, I'm getting this takeout th hell or high water.
Speaker 3: So now no one will ever know what I think
Speaker 3: of the Breeze Brady topic. Who knows it was? Don't
Speaker 3: put anything on the screen. Guys, your work needs to know.
Speaker 2: We're not doing it. No, we're not doing it.
Speaker 3: Their work will forever be forgotten, like an unredread manuscript.
Speaker 3: Was it a question of who's the old, better, all
Speaker 3: time great? Was it the question of will Breeze come back?
Speaker 3: Was it a broadcasting question? Who knows we'll never know,
Speaker 3: their work will never be seen.
Speaker 2: That that's I've got, all right, before we I've got
Speaker 2: I've got a question. Who's who's got the better social team?
Speaker 4: No, that's look at this now.
Speaker 2: No, no, we're not doing this.
Speaker 3: We're not playing those games. You've ruined it.
Speaker 2: So but welcome back in.
Speaker 4: We're back on the air. Well, it's right with Nick
Speaker 4: right podcasting and YouTube show.
Speaker 3: All right, So there's something you said you want to
Speaker 3: make fun of me for ye but there's also this
Speaker 3: potential buyout of the Twitter feed?
Speaker 2: Which one do you want to start with?
Speaker 3: Do you want to start with making fun I get
Speaker 3: the answer immediately, You're gonna get the answer. You know
Speaker 3: what I've Let's save the money for after you makes okay,
Speaker 3: let's do it. Okay, So what do you want to
Speaker 3: make fun of me?
Speaker 2: So yesterday I can't remember if I was waking up
Speaker 2: or if I was just might have been working out
Speaker 2: in my room. I come out of my room and
Speaker 2: the first thing I hear is Deanna, your daughter, asking
Speaker 2: if you're playing Fortnite. Oh, don't do this and don't
Speaker 2: do this. You know. I just thought to myself, all like,
Speaker 2: you must have just been playing Fortnite, just turn it
Speaker 2: off for something, and I come upstairs. I see the
Speaker 2: TV screen and you're actually playing Fortnite. Yeah. I just
Speaker 2: thought to myself, like this guy trying to hog the
Speaker 2: game from Deanna, Like, what's like, what's going on right now?
Speaker 2: Are you just punking Deanna out of some Fortnite? Okay?
Speaker 2: All right, So here's what is true.
Speaker 3: In all our time together, have you ever seen me
Speaker 3: play any video game except for sports games ever? Maybe
Speaker 3: briefly uncharted that was a while ago, long time ago.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: Though, You've never seen me playing these first person shooter games. No,
Speaker 3: you've never seen me. I like two K and I
Speaker 3: like Madden, and I like the Well I bought this
Speaker 3: PlayStation five and I started playing Fortnite religiously, and.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of hooked on it.
Speaker 3: I got in trouble with your mom the other day
Speaker 3: because she was like, I came home from work, you
Speaker 3: were on the game.
Speaker 4: You finished the TV show on Friday, said.
Speaker 5: Hang out with me.
Speaker 2: You're on the game.
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, I sound like this like
Speaker 4: her talking to you.
Speaker 2: It's a bad beat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a bad beat.
Speaker 3: And then yesterday, in the time between the Bucks lost
Speaker 3: in the MAVs game. I was like, I got enough
Speaker 3: time for a couple of fortnight runs. Yeah, but Deanna
Speaker 3: just be heckling me.
Speaker 4: She watched it.
Speaker 2: She wants to coach.
Speaker 4: She coaches, but she's a bad coach and I'm not
Speaker 4: very good. So it's frustrating.
Speaker 2: That's the other thing. This guy's hooked on the game
Speaker 2: and he's trash, like really really bad at it. It's
Speaker 2: like one thing to be hooked on a game and like,
Speaker 2: you know, be decent at it, but it's another thing
Speaker 2: to like be like, yeah, I gotta play, I gotta
Speaker 2: play and just be scarbage. But you know you'll get better.
Speaker 2: It's been like a week. Oh my god, Okay, all
Speaker 2: you need to let me coach you.
Speaker 3: Demanse is let me tell you one thing and then
Speaker 3: and we're overtime. We gotta wrap the show. Demanse is
Speaker 3: so good at the game it's actually embarrassing for him.
Speaker 3: It actually shows there has been parts of your life
Speaker 3: that have been neglected over the years for you to
Speaker 3: be this good. He's out here like like double jumping,
Speaker 3: building boxes, switching weapons. He's like, no, you gotta use
Speaker 3: this controller layout, Like no, no, no, I like the
Speaker 3: Revolver from mid distance.
Speaker 2: It's it's people don't know Fortnite.
Speaker 3: It's a winner take all, one hundred person event, and
Speaker 3: Demanse be getting first out.
Speaker 4: Of these hundred people half the time he plays.
Speaker 3: This is like asking someone to be the CEO of
Speaker 3: your company and finding out they're a scratch golfer. It's like, ooh,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how dedicated the work you are, Like
Speaker 3: how much time are you spending on the golf course?
Speaker 2: Like so, just like you said one time, you know,
Speaker 2: it's cool to like walk in a room and be
Speaker 2: like the best at something that is like, there's not
Speaker 2: too many people that I know in person that could
Speaker 2: beat me one on one in a Call of the
Speaker 2: Year Fortnite game. It's just like it's and like the
Speaker 2: not I get it. It's a video game and I
Speaker 2: have like extensive knowledge about it. But you know, no,
Speaker 2: at least I haven't been spending my time on this
Speaker 2: stuff and I suck at it. Okay, No, that part
Speaker 2: is true.
Speaker 4: You know what that part is true. It would be
Speaker 4: worse if you had spent.
Speaker 3: I don't know, roughly twenty to twenty five hours a
Speaker 3: week for the last ten years perfecting a skill that
Speaker 3: you are terrible at. I agree with that, I still
Speaker 3: don't know if it's the best use of your time. Okay,
Speaker 3: moment of truth. If people we bet Bock Celtics, if
Speaker 3: the Celtics won, deminds he's gonna get control my Twitter
Speaker 3: feed for twenty four hours. I am now cowardly and
Speaker 3: shamefully trying to use my exorbitant wealth to get out
Speaker 3: of this game.
Speaker 2: What is the amount to buy out of this bet?
Speaker 2: Mind you? He said exorbitant? My amount? Yeah, six fifty,
Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty dollars, not six dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 2: Just over clear.
Speaker 3: You're certain that's what you want to ask. Yeah, six
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars sold. I'd have paid up to
Speaker 3: three thousand.
Speaker 2: That's today's show. You're alive.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not, yo, bullsh.
Speaker 2: Get the row. That's insane.
