Speaker 2: They have this gentleman once again sitting next to me

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: here today the great olden Polonies is here, and olden

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: not one, but two two game sevens. Let me ask

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: you right out of the box. In your fifteen years

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: playing in the NBA, how many games sevens did you

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: participate in?

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, we weren't doing seven games. We weren't doing five.

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: You didn't get to seven games until the finals. But

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 3: I think I did one. I think I did one.

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure. But we're doing a lot of

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: five game series.

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: Well, and then those game fives. The same thing. I mean,

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: the idea of one of the reasons we love the

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: NCAA basketball tournament every year is the one and done right,

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: I mean, everything rides on every game. You have one

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: bad game, gone see you later. Doesn't matter if the

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: other team you beat the other team nine out of

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: ten times on that day, they beat you and you

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: get eliminated. So when you get into an elimination game,

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: give us a sense of just the heightened senses, the

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: overall feeling as you come out of that locker room

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: going on the court knowing it's either do or die.

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: Okay, So I have to put it this way. It's

32
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: going to be dependent on if you're the home team,

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: if you're the favorite, you know, road team, whatever. It

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: all depends on those situations as well. We had a

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: situation where we had Utah right in an elimination game,

36
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: game five, and so it was after the Riots. So

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: they beat us in Utah two games, We come down

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: here and beat them two games. We had to move

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: to Anaheim and then we go to Utah. So here's

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: the mentality when you get to that point. So when

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: we get to Utah, even before then, it's like wein

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: the no lose situation, all we have to do is

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: just relax, go out there and play. They were supposed

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 3: to sweep us. You know, you start doing all those

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: things in your mind. They were supposed to sweep us,

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: they were supposed to kick our butts, but they did.

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: Now we have a chance, and this is the one game. Man.

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: We got up on them nineteen points. Then Larry Brown

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: wanted to coach.

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: Wait a second, that's my guy, Larry Brown.

51
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: I don't give a damn. Larry summed me out the game,

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: and that was it. Sometimes coaches coach at the wrong time.

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: Because we got that nineteen point lead based on shait,

54
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: energy and dumb luck. Had nothing to do with coaching,

55
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with anything we talked about. It

56
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: was just sheer, luck and energy. That was it, all right.

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, I'm glad you brought up

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: coaching because in this matchup between the Pacers and the Knicks,

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: you have two veteran coaches. These guys have either been

60
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: head coaches or assistant coaches for a long long time

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: in this league, Thibodeaux and Carlisle. And it's again a

62
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: game seven Pacers just one of those. I mean, they

63
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: really reflect their coach, Carlisle in a lot of ways.

64
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: Thibodeau has done a marvelous job of holding this team together.

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: Is the next team with all the injuries they have

66
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: on an Obi, if he is back, I think that's

67
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: going to be a game changer. But when you have

68
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: veteran coaches, guys that have been here, done that, do

69
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: you think their perspective on their roles in this game

70
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: seven are clear to them. You just talked about over coaching,

71
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: do you tend to since the teams are obviously so

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: familiar with each other, you get to a seventh game

73
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: as a veteran coach, do you think that you may

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: take a step back and let the players pretty much

75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: decide what's gonna happen on the court.

76
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: You have to if it's close, the coaches come into play.

77
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: That's pretty much it. Indian, it's gonna come out hot

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: most likely early on. The Knicks are gonna make their runs.

79
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: Both teams are gonna make runs, and so to me,

80
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: it's gonna come down. It's not really gonna Like I said,

81
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: it doesn't come down and coaching until it's close. Then

82
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: you gotta call a time out and enjoy the right play.

83
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: It's stuff like that. But at the same time, your

84
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: stars have to show up. You know, stars have to

85
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: show up. Brunson has to show up. D Vinceanzo has

86
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: to show up. If Og plays, he has to show up.

87
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 3: Josh Hart has Pascal has to show up, Tyreez has

88
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: to show up, Miles Turner. You guys have to ball out.

89
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: You know, we watched the game yesterday. Those guys showed up.

90
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: But it was a guy like PJ. Washington who made

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: the most critical play of the game, you know. But

92
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: Kyrie stepped up prior to that, knocking down a couple

93
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: of threes, you know, getting to that right hand drive,

94
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 3: pull up jumpers, and so to me, and then you

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 3: get a kid like a Derek Riley who steps up

96
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: gets a double double. That's huge. So guys have to

97
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: step up and so to me, that's gonna be the

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: key for them. But coaching, it's I mean, you're right,

99
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: two similar style coaches that players tend to take on

100
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 3: the coach's personalities, and both of them are fiery to

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: a certain extent. Thibodeau's got like a little Tibodau' is

102
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: a guy. When I look at him, I'm like, if

103
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: you had a fight with Thibodeau, it will be the

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: longest fight of your life. You might end up beating him,

105
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: but you gonna know you've been in a fight. He's

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: just going to keep coming and coming and coming. And

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: so to me, that's the Knicks' personality. They keep coming

108
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: and coming and coming. It doesn't matter what the score is.

109
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: We talked about your former Virginia teammate Rick Carlisle last week.

110
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Let me ask about Tom Thibodau. I mean, this guy

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: was an assistant in the league for twenty years, twenty

112
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: years before he finally got that opportunity with the Bulls

113
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: and of course immediately was coach of the Year. He

114
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: did in Minnesota. Obviously he's doing it with the Knicks

115
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: right now. And you know, for instance, we're looking at

116
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: the Lakers right they're going through the process. I think

117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: this is good for the Lakers to not make a

118
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 2: hasty decision. Let's let's review the candidates, let's see what

119
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: we've got. But when a guy like Thibodeaux, because we

120
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: saw Darvin Ham, he was another guy that had been

121
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: a long time assistant. He was a guy that was

122
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: glorified as a real locker room guy, like a guy

123
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: that has value on your assistant coaching staff that things

124
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: get a little chippy in the locker room. He has

125
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: a way as a former played or sort of you know,

126
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: settle things down a little bit, something maybe a head

127
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: coach doesn't deal with. But when you look at a

128
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: guy like Tom Thibodeau, why was it a that it

129
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: took so long for him to get an opportunity be

130
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: a head coach in the league? And why has he

131
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: been a successful coach in this league?

132
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: Well? Number one, why it takes so long? Because it does.

133
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: I mean these guys they go through, they'll hire the

134
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: name guys, you know, make the splash highs and all that,

135
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 3: and eventually they find out that, Okay, this guy can coach.

136
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this about Thibodeau. You hear a lot

137
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: of time people, Oh he's hard on people. Well, pat

138
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: Riley was hard on players too. He won championships. I

139
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: mean guys, I've golf with you know, former Laker players,

140
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: former Nick players, were on the golf course. You know,

141
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: everything goes and they're like, man, he took five years

142
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: off my career. He did you got a championship? Like, yeah,

143
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: we did. And so it's like this, there's a give

144
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: and take. I remember when he was in Minnesota, you know,

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler. Some players don't like to be coached hard,

146
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: which is a disrespect to the game. I don't mind

147
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: coaches that yelling, screaming, but it's like, if they have

148
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: a purpose to it, I'm okay with it. And so

149
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: to me, Thibodau is one of those guys, Hey, I

150
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: expect you to work hard, kind of like Jemmy Sloan.

151
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: You just got to come in, do your job, work hard,

152
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: give it all you got, and that's it. All the

153
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 3: extras they don't want to deal with. You know, Tiberdau's

154
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: one of those guys. He's old school. He's not trying

155
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: to deal with the extras. And so that's why I

156
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: took Thibodeau's side with that whole Minnesota situation, because when

157
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: you talk to every other player, they love playing for

158
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: him because those players play hard. It's always the guys

159
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: that are like the divas that don't want to mess

160
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: with Thibodeaux.

161
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson, I mean it really comes down to Brunson. Tonight,

162
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: you mentioned the fact that in games like this, your

163
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: stars have to be big, they have to have an impact.

164
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson top five voting in the MVP. That's pretty amazing.

165
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: Did you ever see that coming when Brunson came out

166
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: of Villanova, that he was going to be this level player.

167
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: And where did the Knicks go from here? Now that

168
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: Brunson has raised his game to this level, really in

169
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 2: the absence of Julius Randall, how does that work down

170
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: the road for the Knicks once Randall's back.

171
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: Well, the Knicks in a great situation right now. The

172
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: fact that they have those three Villainova players. They it's

173
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: the greatest thing I've ever seen because each one holds

174
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: each other accountable based on their history in college. And

175
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: so that's a great thing to have. You know, where

176
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: not only your star, the guy that's making a ton

177
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: of money right now, who people said that contract you

178
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: know wasn't deserved. They can hold jail In accountable. Jail

179
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: and can hold Josh. Josh can hold it Dante, Dante

180
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: holds you know, you know what I mean. And so

181
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: it's like they hold each other accountable, which is a

182
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: great thing. Now, the problem the Knicks have is a

183
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 3: great problem to have. You're succeeding without a couple of

184
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: your main guys Mitchell Robinson, defensive guy, Jewish Randall, Bogdanovich.

185
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 3: So but you're still succeeding I personally, if I'm Leon

186
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: Rose and I'm Worldwide West, I'm getting rid of Julius Randall.

187
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, he does.

188
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: Not fit that squad that go hard, team first mentality.

189
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: He does not have it. I'm sorry, no direspect to him.

190
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: But he might want to do it every now and then,

191
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: but it's not consistent and it's not natural for him,

192
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: and so to me, I get rid of him. They

193
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: are poised to have to get a star financially with

194
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: the Sari cap. I will go after somebody that fits

195
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: that mold. You cannot bring a diva in. You gotta

196
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: bring another hard nos superstar, somebody that's gonna give it

197
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: us all. I mean, it's not possible, but along the

198
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 3: lines of a Yannis. But I think even Giannis now

199
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: is getting a little diva ish.

200
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, That game, of course, is gonna tip off.

201
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: Talking about the Pacers and Knicks at the Garden, that

202
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: game will tip off in a little more than an hour.

203

Speaker 2: eye on the final round of the second major of

236
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: the golf season. Let's get back to last night. The

237
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks Punch. They're taking into the Western Conference finals

238
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 2: with a come from behind victory against the OKC Thunder. Remember,

239
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: going into the postseason, the Thunder were the number one

240
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: seeded team in the West. The mazret number five. They

241
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: took care of the four seed, the Clips. Now they

242
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: have knocked off the one seed, the OKASE OKC Thunder.

243
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's talk first about a decision that

244
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: was made late in the game, and that was a

245
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: challenge by OKAC coach Diagnaal.

246
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: Two.

247
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: They were looking at a play in which there was

248
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: a block and it was all ball. There was no question.

249
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: The question was was the was the block before the

250
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: arm hit and I'm not sure if Dingnall was one

251
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: hundred percent sure about this. This guy, of course, the

252
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: coach of the year this year, you're in the NBA.

253
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: But he challenged it. They ruled against his challenge, and

254
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: in the end, the thunder did not have any timeouts,

255
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: which could be critical obviously, and what ended up a

256
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: one point game. What did you think of the call?

257
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: What did you think of his challenge?

258
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: I thought it a great call. I thought it was

259
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: a great call. Why do I was forgetting to press

260
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: that button. I thought it was a great call because

261
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: the referee. If you watch that play, the referee didn't

262
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: blow the whistle with the hand on the ball. He

263
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: waited until pass the ball on the arm band blew

264
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: the whistle. So to me, it's like you got to

265
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: know some of the rules and how it plays out,

266
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: but you know, not everybody's familiar with the rules, which

267
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: is fine, but as a coach, you have to use

268
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 3: the challenge in that point. Yeah, you may have needed it,

269
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: but it was the right call for him as well,

270
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: because I need to get that clear and so I

271
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: had no problems either way. You know, definitely a great

272
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: call because it was exactly right. And then he got

273
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: his three shots. I was most surprised by the fact

274
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: that he made both free throws and then had, as

275
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: you stated, the perfect miss.

276
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: Perfect miss by Washington. I mean, in a situation like

277
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: that where obviously okay see has no timeouts, you want

278
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: to miss that really prevents them from getting any reasonable

279
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: shot to win the game.

280
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: Exactly, it was perfect bounce high enough by the time

281
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 3: he got the rebound, you know, hit the rim, one

282
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: second rebound, secured one and a half two outlet buzzer.

283
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: All right, Now, before we get into the Mavericks as

284
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: they move on to the Western Conference finals, I do

285
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: want to stop with OKAC. This is a team average

286
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: age twenty four, twenty four, number one seed in the West.

287
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: My question going into the playoffs were they ready for

288
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: prime time? And at times appeared yes, at times that

289
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: appeared no. But I want to, in particular ask you

290
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: about Gilgess Alexander who was gifted to OKC and the

291
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: now infamous Paul George trade where the Clippers not only

292
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: gave this young player, but also what four or five

293
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: number one picks in order to satisfy the desire of

294
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard to come to Clippers only if he had

295
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: Paul George as a teammate, So the deal was done.

296
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: Every time I watch Shay Gilgess Alexander play, every time

297
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: I hear him speak after games, he has an amazing

298
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: maturity level. He has a mature game, He's clutch. He

299
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: hit some huge shots. You know that three point shot

300
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: and to look like that Dallas had the game won.

301
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that was just ice by Gilgess Alexander. But

302
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: give me a preview what we're going to see from

303
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: this kid over the next five years or so.

304
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: Well, Oklahoma City's gonna be the team of the NBA. Wow,

305
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: because they've been built, they took their lumps. Presty is

306
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: incredible GM, he really is, and he still has more

307
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: in the tank. As far as draft picks, this man

308
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: is insane. He is insane. He's the collector of draft picks.

309
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 3: And so to me, I think, you know, Homegrown's bright future,

310
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: the Williams is bright future. They need a veteran and

311
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: they need another point guard. They need a regular old

312
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 3: point guard that can distribute because Shay is not a

313
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: point guard. He made a nice pass to home Grim

314
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: last night, but he's not a passer first point guard.

315
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: He's a scoring guard and that's all the is to it.

316
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get my buckets regardless of my teammates, and

317
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: that hurts them sometimes. We thought it was gonna be giddy,

318
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: but he found his way in the dog some way somehow.

319
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know what's going on with that, but

320
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: they do need a regular old point guard and another veteran.

321
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: You know, Gordon Haywood doesn't play enough to be that veteran.

322
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: It has to be a playing veteran. But their future

323
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 3: is bright, all right.

324
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: So even though we've had over the breed what four

325
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: years now revolving to our of NBA champions you can

326
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: actually predict that Oklahoma City the thunder will win an

327
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 2: NBA championship in the near future.

328
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 3: I will say that as sure as I said Dallas

329
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: is gonna win in six Oklahoma City if they do,

330
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: if they get that point guard and get that veteran,

331
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: they will win a championship before Shake Gilgers has gone

332
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: from that team.

333
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to the Dallas Mavericks as they

334
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 2: are in the NBA Western Conference Finals now with the

335
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: big victory again. They were down sixteen in this game,

336
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: they were down sixty four to forty eight at the half,

337
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: and they came all the way back to win this game.

338
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 2: You add that plus minus stat, what do you think

339
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: of plus minus? Is that a valid stat? When we

340
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, plus minus when you're on the court.

341
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: I like it. I mean it is valid.

342
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: Well, let me give you a plus minus from Dallas

343
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: last night. By far, the best plus minus for any

344
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: player on the Dallas Mavericks yesterday was Dereck Lively. These

345
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: are the role players that are necessary to have if

346
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: you're going to be a championship content. I know you

347
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 2: talked about this last week. For those that missed it,

348
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 2: what is it that has done? Because you see obviously Doncic,

349
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: you see Kyrie, and you're like, okay, those are the guys,

350
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: But why is it The Dallas Mavericks are where they

351
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: are right now.

352
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: The Dallas Mavericks are where they are right now because

353
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: of a move that was made by Nico Harrison and

354
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: the whole staff of Dallas getting Gafford m h from

355
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: the Washington Wizards, steal and the biggest steal, PJ Washington

356
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: from the Charlotte Hornets. And not only because they got PJJ,

357
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: they weren't able to unload that ugly contract that they

358
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: had given. Oh my god, to Williams, and I mean

359
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: Grant Williams. He he fit that Boston mold maybe, but

360
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: when he got the Dallas they knew they made a mistake.

361
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: As soon as he got there, they knew they made

362
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: a mistake. And that's coming from people I know in

363
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 3: the Mavericks organization. It literally like the first day like,

364
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: oh lord, no, he's not the guy. He rubbed everybody

365
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: the wrong way, like the first day there. And so

366
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: to me, to get rid of that contract and bringing

367
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: a PJ. Washington, a kid from the Dallas area, now

368
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 3: your defense all of a sudden was upgraded. PJ. Washington

369
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: kept shaking, He'll just in front of him the whole night,

370
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: but say, as great a play as he is, he

371
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: found a way to score. And so to me, you know,

372
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 3: those were the two biggest moves that Dallas made, and

373
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: they got Luka and Kyrie to buy into actually attempting

374
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: to play defense.

375
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: It's amazing. Kyrie took eight more shots yesterday than Dancic.

376
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: Now that shows because he's I've been amazed from the beginning.

377
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: When Kyrie arrived in Dallas, I thought, how does this

378
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 2: work When you have two players that are at their

379
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: best when they control the basketball, there's only one basketball

380
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 2: on the court, and both of those guys liked the

381
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 2: ability to control the basketball. Somebody is going to have

382
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 2: to give it up. And Kyrie I didn't think it

383
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 2: was in him, but he did it. He played the

384
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: supporting role to Daunchets. He still got his points per game,

385
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: he still got his numbers. It still worked for him.

386
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: And even seeing Kyrie after that game yesterday, what's working

387
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 2: for him is he's step one step closer to yet

388
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: another World championship.

389
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 4: Ring.

390
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: We'll get into the possibility of a Dallas Denver or

391
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: Dallas Minnesota Western Conference Final, but first let's find out

392
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: what is trending right now. Monci, you feel like as

393
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: a diehard Clippers fan, Yeah, that when you look at

394
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: like O Casey, you just heard what Olden had to say,

395
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: like this, this is the team on the come and

396
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: they really it's almost like they're the Clippers, like they

397
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: that's what they are.

398
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, let's not put that because it was.

399
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: Because of the Clippers giving them everything right for Paul

400
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: George that they've been in a position. You've still got

401
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 2: to make the right picks.

402
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 6: You do have to still make the right picks.

403
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 7: No, it's it's pretty incredible what they've done, and it

404
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 7: is annoying a little bit as a Clippers fan, especially

405
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 7: when you heard that they basically went to Kawhi Leonard

406
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 7: and was like, are you sure you don't want to

407
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 7: work with shake gilges Alexander He's going to be good,

408
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 7: and that he still said no, and like we gave

409
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 7: them everything and then some to get Paul George. Yes,

410
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 7: it's very, very frustrating, but give them credit because they

411
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 7: really have built something there. I hope it's not the

412
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 7: same fate as the Clippers. I don't want to wish

413
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 7: them upon that. Yeah, you know, but hey.

414
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: You know what I was gonna say, what those guys,

415
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 3: the Williams is all them guys, Casey Wallace, those would

416
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: the picks the Clippers got ahead.

417
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: So it's like that, so you were looking at the Clippers,

418
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: is what the Clippers?

419
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 8: Yes?

420
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: Okay, see just turned into what it's supposed to be. Yes,

421
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: they should have been here, those draptics should have been

422
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: here in La. Yeah, but I told Steve Kawhi is

423
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: never going to be Kauhi again.

424
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 6: No, he is a degenerative me.

425
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 7: At this point, nothing is going to get better, and

426
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 7: it's it's quite unfortunate, you know. I say, Lebron is

427
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 7: holding the Lakers hostage, Kawhi is holding the Clippers hostage

428
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 7: in the same exact way, and it's really annoying that

429
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 7: we got nothing.

430
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 6: We have no idea, like it's always gonna be like

431
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 6: what if for four or five years, what if he

432
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 6: would have been healthy. It's very very annoying situation. Thank

433
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 6: you Steve for making me feel like this.

434
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, I felt we let's get it away early.

435
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure. No, I understand that free throw miss

436
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 6: that you guys were just talking about by PJ Washington.

437
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 7: I think Luka Doncic is the best at purposely missing

438
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 7: free throws.

439
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 6: He does it frequently.

440
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 7: I wonder if they do that at practice, if he's

441
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: the one who's taught them, because he's and the way

442
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 7: PJ Washington did it, no questions asked, He's like, I

443
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 7: got it.

444
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 6: It was incredible.

445
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 7: But I instantly was like, I wonder if Luca has

446
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 7: taught them because he always always does that. Game seven

447
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 7: Fellas from Madison Square Garden tips off in about an hour.

448
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 7: Nicks PACER's Eastern Conference Semifinals. The latest is that Ogian

449
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 7: Anobi and Josh Harr are on course to play, but

450
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 7: a final decision is going to be made closer to

451
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 7: tip off again in about an hour than at a

452
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 7: pm Eastern time from Denver, it's the Western Conference semi Finals,

453
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 7: Game seven between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves. In soccer,

454
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 7: Manchester City beat west Ham United three to one. Man

455
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 7: City becomes the first team to win the Premier League

456
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 7: four years in a row. And then we have the

457
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 7: final round at the PGA Championship. The leaders, Colin Morrikawa

458
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 7: x Ander Schoffley are about to tee off like any

459
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 7: minute now.

460
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: They are fifteen under par overall.

461
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 7: Scotti Scheffler, who has been the story throughout this entire tournament,

462
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 7: he is eight under overall. He has one under through

463
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 7: nine holes for just the final round. In baseball, we've

464
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 7: got a full slate of games. Lots going on right now.

465
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 7: The Yankees have tied the game at home against the

Speaker 6: It's two to two.

468
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 7: They're about to start the fourth inning. The Red Sox

469
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 7: have exploded. They're beating the Cardinals seven to one. Top

470
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,040

00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 7: and the Phillies to two top of the fourth as well.

476
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960

477
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,280

478
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 7: but the Guardians are still on top, two to one.

479
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 7: Top of the fifth, Marlin's on the scoreboard, but the

483
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 7: Well, now they're about to start the second inning and

484
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 7: the Royals are beating the A's two zero bottom of

Speaker 7: the second inning.

486
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, all right, MONSI thank you very much,

487
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: so checking with you in a little bit once again.

488
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin, Olden Polonies with you.

489
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: This series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets has

490
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: been a very interesting series, to say the least, not

491
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: because of any compelling games. Almost every one of these

492
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: games has been a blowout But who would have thought

493
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: that the t Wolves would so easily handle the Nuggets

494
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: in the first two games in Denver, and then Denver

495
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: would completely flip it with two wins in Minnesota. Then

496
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: the Nuggets get an easy win at home in Game five,

497
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: and then the Timberwolves forty five point win against the

498
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: Nuggets in Game six. You talk about a mail in game,

499
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: and I from coaching this team has been a challenge

500
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: all season long. The Denver Nuggets have really had this

501
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 2: mentality of just showing up when they feel like it,

502
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 2: and because they've been able to get away with it

503
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: all season long. I mean, losing these first two games

504
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: against the against the Tea Wolves at home and then

505
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: going on the road and getting the two wins that

506
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: even up the series only heightens that ability to say, yeah, yeah,

507
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: when we want to, we can win this game. Are

508
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: they playing with fire? I mean, this is a t

509
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Wolves team that obviously has got the talent to match Denver,

510
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 2: if not more so. Murray obviously is not one hundred

511
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 2: percent right now. But the way the Nuggets sort of

512
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: mailed in that Game six with the idea like we'll

513
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: be fine, we're home for Game seven. Are they playing

514
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: with fire.

515
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 3: They definitely are and they might get burned. And so

516
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: to me, you're right throughout the season Denver, they had

517
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 3: that sampionship hangover. Yeah, with champions See, that's the difference

518
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: between Lakers, Celtics, and others in the Warriors, you know,

519
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: teams that have multiple multiple championships. When I win a championship,

520
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get another one. The Denver Nuggets got

521
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 3: the championship, it's like, oh, we did it. That's it.

522
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 3: We don't care about anything else. To a certain extent,

523
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: that's not good because now you go through that lull

524
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: of the regular season, you know, the dragon is so

525
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 3: then it becomes all we gotta do is get to

526
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs, get a decent record, just like the towards

527
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: the end of the season, you know, dropping to a

528
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: third seed, that makes a difference, you know. But they

529
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: got lucky enough, you know, to get a game seven,

530
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 3: and so I'm impressed by that. But at the same time,

531
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: I'm leary. I think that gonna win because I said

532
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: they would win, so they're not gonna let me down.

533
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: But I think it's tough doing that because it doesn't

534
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: last long. See.

535
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: My feeling is if Denver loses this game tonight. That's it.

536
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: Let me give you an example. This is my old

537
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: school stuff. I like to even predate you, olden This

538
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 2: is how I do this. In nineteen seventy five, Rick

539
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: Berry and the Golden State Warriors played as the underdog

540
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: and the NBA Finals against the Bullets, and they shocked

541
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: the world by sweeping them four straight. They became the

542
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: hot team. They were like the first team in NBA history.

543
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: They were suddenly using not just you know, a sixth

544
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: and seventh man off the bench, say like eight nine, ten. Yeah,

545
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: like they had the deepest betch. Al Addams was the coach,

546
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 2: and they were the new wave. They come back the

547
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: next year. They have the best record in the league.

548
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: They are the talk of the town. Western Conference Finals

549
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: are playing a young Phoenix Suns team. They had Paul Westfall,

550
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: Alvin Adams. It was a young team. John mcclod was

551
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: the coach. They were heavy underdogs against the Warriors, but

552
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: the Warriors sort of tinkered around with them a little bit.

553
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: So ends up in Game seven, Golden State's the home team.

554
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: They lost, and guess who we never heard from again?

555
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: That Warriors team, the team that was Cover Sports illustrated.

556
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: They've changed the look of the NBA. They've got Phil Smith,

557
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: they had some really good play. They never were heard

558
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: from again after losing that game seven. I feel like

559
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: that could happen with the Nuggets if they lose this

560
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: game to Minnesota, see you later, it's gonna be okay,

561
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: See it's gonna be Minnesota, it's gonna be Dallas. These

562
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: will be the teams moving forward in the West, and

563
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: Denver will be yesterday's news.

564
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: I get that, and there's a possibility of that happening,

565
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: but it's not gonna happen. And also, I need to

566
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: go back a little bit. Unlike a lot of media people,

567
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 3: when I make a mistake, I can come out and

568
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: say and be a man. I said the Nuggets a

569
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: three seed. They were actually a two seed.

570
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but you also picked Dallas and six. Sorry.

571
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I made a mistake with that. But the

572
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets will win this game because of the championship

573
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: last year, and that championship experience is huge. The Dallas

574
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: Mavericks beat Oklahoma City because they had that mindset, a

575
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: championship like mindset. Because Kyrie has already won a championship,

576
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: and he spoke to his team. That's why he spoke

577
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: at the end of the gamey say in the locker room,

578
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: you know, thanking everybody and all that, because he's been

579
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: there before. He's already expressed on him what it takes.

580
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: So to me that the only way to get that

581
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: is to go through it. And the Timberwolves have not

582
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: got through it. They have nobody on their team that's

583
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: gone through that. And so to me, that's that's gonna

584
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 3: be huge tonight, you know, the game seven because all

585
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: the pressure you think it's on Denver, but it's not.

586
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: Minnesota won the first two games in Denver.

587
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: Winning three times in Denver is a tall order.

588
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: It's a tall task.

589
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: Yes, And again when we talk about players that shine

590
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: brightest under the brightest spotlight, dont I mean, you know,

591
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: obviously with a guy like Jokich. Jokich is a guy

592
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: that we know is going to show up. But what

593
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: about Jamal Murray do you have concerns? I mean, if

594
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: they're going to win this game seven, he has to

595
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: step up. And he's been that kind of a player

596
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: over the most recent past that Murray is a player

597
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: that does play at a higher level when the game

598
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: matters most. Is he capable of doing that in this

599
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: game seven? Because if he's a no show in game seven,

600
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: Denver's in deep trouble.

601
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: Oh definitely. Jamal Murray, you know, people everybody the envy.

602
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: He is the MVP, you know, But there's some things

603
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 3: you can do with Joker, you know, where you can

604
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: like minimize some things. But at the same time, you know,

605
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: I've always been you know, like the Jordan rule thing.

606
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: Let Jordan get fifty, We don't mind. We want to

607
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: limit everybody else. To me, Jamal Murray's the most critical

608
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: player on this team. You know, basketball is a game

609
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: of makes a misses, So it doesn't really matter. He

610
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 3: got the same shots he got the game before, they

611
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: just missed. And so to me, it's not so much

612
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: that he's struggling. It's I think that elbow really is

613
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: bothering him because he's getting the same exact shots. Michael

614
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: Porter Juliet is getting the same exact shots. Kcp's getting

615
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: the same exact shots he just missing. So I don't

616
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: think they're gonna miss in Denver.

617
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: Monty over the last couple of weeks has made it

618
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: clear it doesn't matter who comes out of this Denver

619
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: Minnesota series, the Dallas Mavericks will be in the NBA Finals.

620
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: On the other side, well, we'll break those matchups potentially

621
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: down with old And this is Fox Sports Sunday.

622
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

623
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: Radio, Steve Harbin, Olden polonies. Here Fox Sports Sunday. We

624
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 2: are live from the tire rack dot Com studios. What's

625
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: that deal? The NBC just signed with the NBA, Olden?

626
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: How much money are we talking about here?

627
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: As far as what oh that deal? Yeah? From what

628
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: I'm hearing, seventy five billion for eleven years.

629
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 5: Yevy five billion, John, test your back.

630
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: And unfortunately inside the NBA you might be out.

631
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: Oh no, they're done because Ernie said he's staying at TNTO.

632
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, that shot his back. I'm on his back. Who

633
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 2: I mean it is, here's the thing about network television

634
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: trying to survive. Let's face it. I mean, network television

635
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 2: is trying to survive, and one way to survive is

636
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: to carry live sports for our generation. And I'm older

637
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: than old and he's like a kid to me, but

638
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: I mean for our generation, we remember a time old

639
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: and when if you are a die hard sports fan.

640
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: You were still on the fringe. Now, it wasn't the

641
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: mainstream like it is. I mean it felt mainstream to

642
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: us because we are into sports. But now and there

643
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 2: just seems to be knowing in sight. Yeah, the NFL dominates,

644
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: crushes everybody in terms of their exposure and the desire

645
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: of people to latch onto the NFL. Well, but shed

646
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: no tiers from Major League Baseball, shed no tiers for

647
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 2: the NBA. And the money they're making now is insane.

648
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: We already have guaranteed contracts that start with sixty million

649
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: per year. Sixty million, next step will be seventy million,

650
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: then eighty million per year.

651
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: I think we get to one hundred million in the

652
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: next three years.

653
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: Could very well happen per year?

654
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 3: Well, oh no, we have a hundred million.

655
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: Well I'm talking about per year.

656
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 3: Well you have one hundred million.

657
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 2: What was that for seven But it's all deferred.

658
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 3: That's that's.

659
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 2: Hundred Well here's the great thing about Otani's deferred, right,

660
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 2: So he he doesn't need the money obviously because he doesn't,

661
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 2: oh he needs it, So he's deferring basic the entire

662
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: amount for ten years. And by the way, by the

663
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 2: time that money is paid out, it will have doubled

664
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: two over a billion dollars. Man, unbelievable. All right, let's

665
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: get back to potential matchups here in the Western Conference finals.

666
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: Manzie very confident. She has reiterated time and again on

667
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: our Saturday show. It will be the Dallas Mavericks crown

668
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: as NBA champions. How do they match up against Minnesota?

669
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 2: How do they match up against Denver? In your opinion, Olden.

670
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So Dallas is sitting at home right now saying

671
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 3: we want Minnesota. They were rooting for Minnesota because it's

672
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 3: a better matchup for Dallas and the fact again that

673
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 3: experience is going to play a part, and so to me,

674
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 3: you know, and they have two stars compared, you know,

675
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 3: two Majors stars and Kyrie and Luca. Minnesota has one

676
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 3: and a Cats and All Star. But he's not a

677
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 3: guy that you think of, you know, in the grand

678
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 3: scheme of things. Anthony Edwards.

679
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's a side.

680
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 3: That's a superstar in the making if he's not there already.

681
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 3: So I think Dallas definitely wants that. They don't want

682
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 3: Denver because of the fact that the matchups are gonna

683
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 3: be really disadvantageous to them, you know, at every level,

684
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 3: because Aaron Gordon's gonna sit on Luca's right hand all day,

685
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: every day, or his left hand, actually, yeah, his left hand,

686
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 3: and Kyrie's gonna get Jamal, which is gonna be a problem.

687
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: Then they can throw Reggie Jackson at him, so they

688
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 3: have enough bodies to throw Christian Brown he can go

689
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: and god Luca as well. And then of course we

690
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 3: not even haven't even mentioned Joker because I like Gafford,

691
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 3: I like Lively, but they can't. They can't match up

692
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: with Luca. Yeah, Jokic, that's gonna be a problem. It's

693
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 3: a nightmare for Dallas to get the Nuggets in that series.

694
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: I'd ask you if a young olden in his prime

695
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: were matched up against Jokic. But I mean, it just

696
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 2: seems to me the most dangerous aspect of a complete

697
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 2: game of which he has is his ability to get

698
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 2: his teammates involved. It seemed to me that you, once

699
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 2: again would rather Jokic take a lot of shots, yes,

700
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: then minimize his shots and get other players involved in

701
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: that offense.

702
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 3: Of course, please one on one matchups. I got, I

703
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: got Joker by myself. I'm gonna make him shoot turn

704
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: around jumpers. I'm gonna just stay between him and the basket,

705
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 3: box him eyes after he shoots. You gotta remember also,

706
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: I was a defensive guys, so my mentality was all

707
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 3: about playing defense. If I can go out Shaquille O'Neil

708
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 3: and defend him and keep him off the low blocks

709
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 3: and keep Joke off the low blocks.

710
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: Now, so this is gonna be a game seven. Tonight,

711
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 2: we got a day night doubleheader Starry with the Pacers

712
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: and Knicks, and again that game is gonna be tipping

713
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 2: off real soon. And then of course later tonight we'll

714
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: have the Nuggets taken on the t Wells, two game

715

Speaker 2: Like you remember when he used to watch TV Olden

762
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 2: when you were a kid, and then they would break

763
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,640

771
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on to the Boston Celtics again,

772
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: a team that regular season wise blew away the rest

773
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 2: of the league, not even close. And you can say, well,

774
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: they were able to pilot up on the Eastern Conference,

775
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: which is indeed a fair argument, and the fact that

776
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 2: they have. By the way, Alex Norn right now is

777
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 2: on fire at the PGA Golf Championship. He is what's

778
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 2: seven under on the day. I don't know if he's

779
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 2: got enough in his tank to get to the finish line.

780
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 2: But let's talk about the Celtics. Have you seen anything

781
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: from the Celtics in the postseason to give you any

782
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: real feel on what their ultimate destiny is for these

783
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs.

784
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 3: Uh, they just the stand in until whoever comes out

785
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 3: that West gets there.

786
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 2: So they I mean again, this is a team that's

787
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: in the Western Eastern Conference finals now what fourth time

788
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: in the last five years. They got to the finals

789
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, losing to the Warriors, so

790
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: they have experience obviously have a really good team. Are

791
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 2: they just too dependent on the three ball for your taste?

792
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 3: Yes, they are, and I hate it. I'm like, dude,

793
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 3: you got to mix it up. You know, the game

794
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: against Cleveland when they won, after Cleveland went you know,

795
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 3: won the game, they went back. I think it's yeah,

796
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: game three, It's like, dude, I get it, we want

797
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 3: to shoot threes, but you have to mix it up.

798
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: And finally I saw Jason Tatum driving to the basket

799
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 3: made the game a lot easier for them because we

800
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 3: it's always been and it's inside out. I don't care

801
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 3: how you get inside. I don't care if it's post up,

802
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 3: I don't care it's penetration, but it's always inside out. Dribble,

803
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 3: drive to the basket, kick out the three point shooters.

804
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 3: They're gonna be wide, wide open. But this guy Missoula

805
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 3: wants to rely on it's so much to where it's

806
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: a detriment because these guys are not great three point shooters. Yeah,

807
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: this's not the Golden State Warriors at all. And so

808
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 3: to me, that's the problem. And so you're so relying

809
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 3: on it. Again, you take a three, it has to

810
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 3: go in. There's no other choice because it's a long

811
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 3: shot and it's like when it's hitting that rim, it's

812
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 3: hitting hard. And so to me, especially when you know,

813
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 3: like Steph Curry shoots, his shots are so soft they

814
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 3: either swish or if they land on the rim, it's

815
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 3: a soft bounce Celtics when they miss, and it's like

816
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 3: we don't know where it's going. And so to me,

817
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: that's the problem. Man. You gotta mix all.

818
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: Right before we check off Boston all the way through

819
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals. The winner of this game coming

820
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: up between the Pacers and the Knicks that will tip

821
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: off in about twenty five minutes. Can you see either

822
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 2: one of these teams taking down the Boston Celtics.

823
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 3: Yes, I see the New York Knicks beating the Celtics.

824
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 2: Really.

825
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: Yes, they've had them in the past. I mean the

826
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 3: injuries got have deralled them last year or was it Miami? Yeah,

827
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 3: But I like the match up with New York a lot.

828
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 3: I like New York against Boston. That's a good match

829
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 3: up for the For the Knicks, I think they can

830
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 3: beat them and if that is the matchup, but they

831
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 3: gotta get by Indiana today, so you know, if it

832
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: does happen, I like the chances of New York.

833
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 2: How much does n ANDOB mean for this next team?

834
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, it's it's night and day. They're two

835
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 3: different teams. I mean, this guy does so much, you know,

836
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 3: with his size and length and the fact that he's

837
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 3: low maintenance. That's what I love about him. He's low maintenance.

838
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: Whatever the team needs for him to do, he does.

839
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 3: You know the terminology people use Swiss army knife, He's

840
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: that and then.

841
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 2: Some Well, we'll see what happens that NNOB and Heart

842
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: will go. I don't know again, how effective will they be.

843
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: They'll be on the court, and that is going to

844
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: be a big plus for the Knicks as they host

845
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 2: the Pacers in this game seven. So just continuing on

846
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 2: with your vein about the fact that it doesn't matter.

847
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: We're just holding a spot in the Eastern Conference to

848
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: be fodder in the NBA Finals for whoever ends up

849
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: out of the West. Whether it's Dallas, whether it's Minnesota,

850
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: whether it's Denver. It's not gonna matter.

851
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it is because the West is

852
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 3: too strong. You gotta remember the teams in the East.

853
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 3: I mean, we had about four teams in the West.

854
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 3: They're in the top four in the East. If you

855
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 3: take their records and put it in the East, they

856
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 3: like they rank in the top four, and so to me,

857
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: it's just a better conference. That's one of the reason

858
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 3: why you know who can't get past people because he's

859
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: not in the East. It was a lot easier to

860
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 3: run the East than it is to run the West.

861
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 3: And we've seen that for the last six years. And

862
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 3: you know who I'm talking about. So it's it's the

863
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: Western Conference is a.

864
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 2: Beast, yeah, and getting stronger every day. And this experience

865
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 2: that Okase, even though they went down to Dallas, is

866
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 2: something to build on for their future. If Minnesota goes

867
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 2: down today to the Denver Nuggets, that's a Minnesota team

868
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 2: with Anthony Edwards that obviously is going in the right direction.

869
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: So they're only going to get stronger. By the way,

870
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 2: Can I just throw in a little loops and we

871
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 2: talk about the West right now? Phoenix Suns didn't waste

872
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 2: any time. Budenholzer is going to be their coach. By

873
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: the way, did you see his press conference talk?

874
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I saw that. Yeah, I coach him on the moon.

875
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: They they had Phoenix, and I'm sort of getting into

876
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: that Phoenix market right now. They're just like what happened.

877
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 2: We had a team that won sixty four games two

878
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: years ago and we dismantled it to bring in Kevin Durant,

879
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 2: and then we add to a Bradley Beal, all guaranteed

880
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 2: contracts north of fifty million dollars a year, and you

881
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: think about the you know, guys off the bench, role

882
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 2: players that they had. Of course, he had Chris Paul

883
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: at the point, and you know, Devin Booker was your score.

884
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 2: He had one score, you know, and he had all

885
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: those great role players. Kem Budenholzer turned that thing around

886
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: in Phoenix. No, because they have no cap flexibility none

887
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: he has. He doesn't have the demeanor that's going to

888
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: be needed. I think that's why he got to let

889
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: go in Milwaukee because the super a star put his

890
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 2: foot down. Now you got three of them, you can't

891
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 2: combat that. The same thing that happened with Vogel. It's

892
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: like you cannot These the inmates are running the asylum,

893
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: and to me, that's a problem. And if you're not

894
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 2: going to bring in coaches that are just on par

895
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: with these guys, you're gonna have problems. Ooh. It's interesting

896
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 2: because I always said this about the success of pat

897
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 2: Riley and of Phil Jackson. I said, the reason they

898
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: were so successful coaching teams with multiple superstars is that

899
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 2: their ego is on the same level or even above

900
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 2: those superstar players that they coach. Yes, and I covered

901
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: pat Riley at the end of his Laker run. I

902
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 2: was there for most of the Phil Jackson rome with

903
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and that's the thing that would impressed about me.

904
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 2: You know one thing I know about Phil JA all

905
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 2: those years. Never once did he take blame for a

906
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:03,760
Speaker 2: game ever.

907
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 3: Ever, No, he's not going to his ego on and

908
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 3: let him.

909
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: If he would, never ever, ever, ever hint of a

910
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: single coaching decision that may have resulted in a loss

911
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 2: for the Lakers.

912
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 3: In his mindset, he's like, I'm not out there. I

913
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 3: gave him to please.

914
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is both of them were role players,

915
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 2: as you know, players in the NBA, you know, just

916
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 2: second tier players, but their egos had to match and

917
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: even exceed those of the superstar players.

918
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 3: All right.

919
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, this man deserves an ego.

920
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 2: He doesn't have one. He just covers sports like none other.

Speaker 2: golf right now. Shoffley has the one shot lead over

931
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 2: Marikawa and Shane da Lowry shot a sixty two yesterday

932
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: to get into contention former Open champion. We got two

933
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: Game seven's coming up in the NBA playoffs, and tomorrow

934
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: we have a Game seven in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

935
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: Showing us right now are Fox Sports Radio MLB Insider,

936
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 2: also our hockey insider, the Great John Paul MOROSEI JP

937
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 2: and know me. I want to start with the NHL

938
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: right now, Stars, Panthers and the Rangers have moved on

939
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: into the Final four, waiting on tomorrow's Game seven between

940
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 2: the Canucks and the Oilers. Let me ask you this

941
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 2: it's been since nineteen ninety three the Montreal Canadians taken

942
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: out Wayne Gretzky and the La Kings and the Stanley

943
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 2: Cup final. Since we had a Canadian based team win

944
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup, is there any opportunity, any chance for

945
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: the winner of this game between the Canucks and Oilers

946
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: to go on to be crowned as Stanley Cup Champions.

947
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 8: Good afternoon, a great time of year, and by the way,

948
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 8: we wish all of our Canadian friends a happy Victoria Day.

949
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 8: It's a national holiday tomorrow for them in Canada, and

950
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 8: so they celebrated with fittingly a Game seven between the

951
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 8: Canucks and the Oilers. So I do think that they

952
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 8: both have a good opportunity to win the Cup. The

953
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 8: question is going to be goaltending, and I think at

954
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 8: this moment in time, Dallas has a little bit more

955
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 8: reliability in goal, at least more of a proven commodity

956
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 8: in gold than what either of the winners will have

957
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 8: coming out of the Civic Division series. There. Between the

958
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 8: Oilers and the Canucks, certainly they both have a ton

959
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 8: of offense, and the Oilers in particular, you think about

960
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 8: that line with when they put them all together obviously

961
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 8: on the power play as well with McDavid and dry Sidles.

962
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 8: It's a treat to watch. I had a chance to

963
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 8: watch them in person this season and it's just the

964
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 8: show that when you watch Edmonton play. And meanwhile, you've

965
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 8: got the Canucks, which, interestingly enough, guys, is something of

966
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,360
Speaker 8: a Team USA. Quinn Hughes who's likely to win the

967
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 8: Norris Trophy. On the back end, J T. Miller grew

968
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 8: up in East Palestine, Ohio. He is on that team

969
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 8: along with Brock Besser, who's been an extraordinary goal scorer

970
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 8: for them in the playoffs. So you've got, ironically enough,

971
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 8: a lot of Americans who are the reason why the

972
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 8: Canucks are one win away from playing for a Western

973
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 8: Conference championship. So so many great storylines. I've loved the

974
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 8: hockey so far. Meanwhile, Team USA is open in the

975
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 8: World Championships with a lot of their top players getting

976
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 8: ready for the four Nations face off a year from

977
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 8: now in the olymp twenty twenty six. So that's a

978
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 8: really high end international tournament. Of course, includes the best

979
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 8: players who are not involved in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

980
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 8: So between that and baseball, my cup Runneth over with

981
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 8: Amazing Sports right now.

982
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, okay, I need your take on this. I mean,

983
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 3: in this day and age of hiring and firing coaches,

984
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 3: especially even when they winning, What did you make of

985
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 3: the Hurricanes you know, re signing Rod Brendamore in his staff.

986
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 8: Sure, I think that Rod Brendamore is one of the

987
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 8: best coaches in the NHL, and he has his team prepared.

988
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 8: They they, I think, in a lot of ways typify

989
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 8: him in terms of the character that he brought during

990
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 8: his illustrious NHL career. Of course, he won a Cup

991
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 8: as a captain with the Hurricanes back in two thousand

992
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 8: and six, So for me, I think he's the right

993
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 8: choice to be with that franch And if they had

994
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 8: not re signed him, there would have been a list

995
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 8: of about a half a dozen teams eager to do

996
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 8: the same, to sign him and have him be their coach.

997
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 8: I think it's notable that a lot of teams out there,

998
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 8: whether it was the Maple Leafs up until recently they

999
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 8: made their decision on BRUBI, other teams that have still

1000
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 8: kept their openings available. It's not an accident. I think

1001
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 8: teams were waiting to see if Brendan Moore became a

1002
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 8: free agent before making decisions and making their own choices,

1003
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 8: and that, to me tells you a lot about about

1004
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 8: the Carolina Hurricanes and how they know they've got a

1005
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 8: good thing going with Rod brendanmore. Listen, they want to

1006
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 8: win the Cup, as all teams do, but I tend

1007
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 8: to think that he gets the most out of his

1008
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 8: group on a continual basis. I had a chance to

1009
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 8: watch in person Game two of their amazing Eastern Conference

1010
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 8: semifinal series against the Rangers, and the Rangers, to me,

1011
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 8: are the better team. They had the better goal tend

1012
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 8: I think, the deeper defensive corps, the better depth scoring.

1013
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,879
Speaker 8: The Hurricanes were close, but I don't think that objectively

1014
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 8: Carolina had the better roster, and that's not a criticism,

1015
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 8: just a fact of where they were. So I think

1016
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 8: the stronger, better team won that series. And I don't

1017
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 8: see any way in which the Hurricanes should have moved

1018
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 8: on from Rod Brenda Moore as a consequence of not

1019
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 8: finding a way to beat what I think is a

1020
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 8: very strong Cup contender in the New York Rangers.

1021
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 2: Let's turn to some baseball right now. I want to

1022
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 2: talk about Juan Soto, so here's a couple of bombs, yes,

1023
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 2: four hundred foot bombs, and he's off to a great

1024
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 2: start with the Yankees right now. Keep in mind, it

1025
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: seems like he's been around forever. He's still only twenty

1026
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 2: five years of age one. Soto when he came to

1027
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 2: San Diego, JP, you and I and Rich we had

1028
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 2: some conversations about him, like, you know, we expected this

1029
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 2: superstar to blow everyone away when he came from the Nationals,

1030
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: and at least for that rest of the twenty two season,

1031
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 2: he just was there. That was nothing really happening. I

1032
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 2: know he had some pretty good numbers a year ago

1033
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 2: for the Padres, but are we going to get this

1034
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: guy back on track of where he projected almost from

1035
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 2: the get go of his major league career, where people

1036
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: were suddenly saying this is a generational talent. He's not

1037
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 2: just a really good player. But you look at his

1038
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty numbers in the shortened season, he leads the

1039
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: league in every significant category. Do you think as a

1040
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: Yankee he's gonna get back to that level?

1041
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 8: I do, and I think he's already getting there. And

1042
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 8: the question is, now, Steve, how long is he going

1043
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 8: to be a Yankee, because as we know, he's a

1044
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 8: free agent. Half of the season is over, and we

1045
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 8: saw the bidding get so intense throw Tani last offseason,

1046
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,479
Speaker 8: and certainly that was appropriate based on what you see

1047
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 8: Showy doing right now. But I think in a lot

1048
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 8: of ways it's going to be just as exciting in

1049
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 8: terms of the number of teams involved. For Wan Soto,

1050
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 8: I think you look at the overall equation was show

1051
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 8: A the Dodgers, And certainly there are some international marketing

1052
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 8: reasons and off the field stardom and the profile of

1053
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 8: the player business related reasons why you brought Otani in

1054
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 8: when you're if you're the Dodgers, But when you look

1055
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 8: at the pure numbers of it, Otani right now is

1056
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 8: a DH and the fishing upside, while considerable, still carries

1057
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 8: some risk. Whereas with Soto, he's a very young player

1058
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 8: and his two way value of being a at least

1059
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 8: I think he's become a solid defender adequate, but he's

1060
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 8: able to play a position every day in the field

1061
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 8: and give you defensive value beyond what he's doing just

1062
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 8: in the batter's box. So I can already see and

1063
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 8: hear what Scott boris the sales pitch is going to

1064
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 8: be based on the numbers that he's putting up right now.

1065
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,959
Speaker 8: And a big part of those numbers, guys, I would say,

1066
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 8: is the guy that's batting right behind him, Aaron Judge,

1067
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 8: who loll and behold. For all the talk of him

1068
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 8: struggling his ops right now, Aaron Judge is actually higher

1069
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 8: than Juan Soto's nine to eighty five for Judge, nine

1070
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 8: to sixty eight for Soto, Judge already having homeward today

1071
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 8: his thirteenth of the season. So for as much concern

1072
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 8: as there was about the lineup overall, Judge has answered

1073
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 8: the bell. This team looks strong top to the bottom.

1074
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 8: They're beating the White Sox handily today, seven to two.

1075
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 8: They've been able to build this great record and standing

1076
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 8: without Garrett Cole, the reigning Simon Award winner, because he's

1077
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 8: down the il, because Luis Heel has been so magnificent

1078
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 8: in his place. So I think, yes, Soto, his ability

1079
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 8: stands alone. The ballpark has helped him, but I think

1080
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 8: the atmosphere of the Yankees has helped him, and having

1081
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 8: Aaron Judge behind him has helped. And you look at

1082
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 8: what it means to be a Yankee. Some players don't

1083
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 8: like it. I think Juan Soto thrives on it. He

1084
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 8: loves the spot, like loves New York. And it doesn't

1085
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 8: surprise me that he's already saying, in as many words, hey,

1086
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 8: whenever we want to have a long term contract discussion,

1087
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 8: I'm ready to do it, basically saying to Scott Boris publicly, hey,

1088
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 8: let's let's have that conversation, which to me says he's

1089
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 8: happy there. He likes New York. He knows how good

1090
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 8: he's got it. With Aaron Judge batting behind him, what's

1091
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 8: not to love about being won Soto? Right now?

1092
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 3: That's right, baby? The Yankees are it so JP and I,

1093
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 3: for lack of a better word, he's considered a rookie.

1094
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 3: But the boy is thirty years old. Show tell you

1095
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 3: Managa with the Cubs. I mean he's doing stuff we

1096
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 3: haven't seen since nineteen thirteen, since Fernando Venezuela when he

1097
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 3: had his old old point nine to one eia. This

1098
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 3: kid is what old point eighty four I mean, microscopic.

1099
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 3: It's insane. So can you please talk about him a

1100
01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 3: little bit more? Because I don't think that people know who.

1101
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 8: I'm glad you asked told him because he is so

1102
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 8: much fun the showta Ima Naga, left handed starting pitcher

1103
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 8: for the Chicago Cubs his first season coming over from Japan,

1104
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 8: and you're right, Olden. We talked a lot more of

1105
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 8: this offseason about certainly Otani and also Yoshinobu Yamamoto was

1106
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 8: also off to a great start with the Dodgers, but

1107
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 8: Imanaga was in some ways a bargain relative to what

1108
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 8: the expense was for other pitchers out there, and he

1109
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 8: has absolutely dominated major league hitters. Now, I want everybody

1110
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 8: who's who's driving the car today around our great country

1111
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 8: to a travel ball tournament or wherever you're going to

1112
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 8: listen carefully to these numbers, because Ima Naga is not

1113
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 8: throwing one hundred miles an hour. His average fastball is

1114
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 8: ninety two, which is still quite firm by the standards

1115
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 8: of the game historically speaking, but not as much right now.

1116
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 8: But it's because of where he locates it and the

1117
01:02:57,320 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 8: action that he places on the pitch that makes it's special.

1118
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 8: It also throws a great change up as well, which

1119
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 8: is part of the reason why he's so good. So

1120
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 8: to me, it's a really good lesson that the American

1121
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 8: baseball developmental ideas about everything's got to be bigger, faster, stronger,

1122
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 8: and you got to throw the ball a million miles

1123
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 8: an hour to get recruited. It's false. Look at the

1124
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 8: guy who's in a lot of ways the best pitcher

1125
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 8: right now going in the National League. He throws ninety two,

1126
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 8: which is again again plenty hard. But it's not lighting

1127
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 8: up a radar gun at the expense of his health

1128
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 8: or of his command. He understands this is hitching, not throwing.

1129
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 8: And I really hope that everybody's getting getting a chance

1130
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 8: to enjoy watching him work. The precision with which he works.

1131
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 8: He's called the throwing philosopher for a reason, and he

1132
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 8: gets it done with his smarts and his body and

1133
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 8: his arm and all the things that he brings to

1134
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 8: bear on this. And there's a lot of lessons out

1135
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 8: there for all the people that have been involved in

1136
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 8: this velocity obsessed American developmental system. We're clearly realizing that

1137
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 8: in Japan they've developed an excellent way of bringing pitchers

1138
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 8: along to the point that when Yammoto arrives here and

1139
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 8: Imnada arrives here, they're not just good, they dominate so

1140
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 8: I think it's time for us to learn a little

1141
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 8: bit of their philosophies and then he'll hopefully incorporate them

1142
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 8: into the way that we do things here.

1143
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 2: Well. Pitching is like real estate. Location location location. There

1144
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 2: was a guy named Greg Maddox that won three hundred

1145
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 2: and fifty five games. Yeah, Greg Maddicks, remember that guy.

1146
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 2: He won three hundred and fifty five games. Location, Location, Location, JP,

1147
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 2: you are the best as always. We can't wait to

1165
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,439

Speaker 3: Right?

1223
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 2: When we have somebody, anybody, anybody, it suddenly becomes a

1224
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 2: name in the news out of nowhere. The investigation of

1225
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:16,080

1226
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 6: I mean, and it's it's just such a nice tweet.

1227
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 7: You know, like it's long and there's a lot of detail.

1228
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 6: He just copied and pasted instead of reposting and giving

1229
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 6: the guy credit.

1230
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 7: Well you know why, well obviously, but it backfired real

1231
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 7: quick on it.

1232
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: John hasn't had a hit in a while.

1233
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,839
Speaker 6: Yes, no, I know, I need something.

1234
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 3: Remember in show business, there's no such thing as bad.

1235
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 7: It's true, but I think on social media it might

1236
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 7: be a little bit bad for it.

1237
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 2: Yes, cancel culture your own.

1238
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,240
Speaker 6: I mean it was. It was a bold move. It

1239
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 6: was all and not a good move.

1240
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 2: All right, Well, Mancy, I know we are getting ready

1241
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 2: for the start of this mixed Pacers game. Once again.

1242
01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday. Uh Nicks. This is really

1243
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 2: hard for me with the Knicks because I recognize one

1244
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 2: thing about the Knicks, the success in any major market.

1245
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,719
Speaker 2: I mean, there's certain franchises. I mean, we always start

1246
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 2: with the Celtics and the Lakers because obviously they've been

1247
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,799
Speaker 2: by far the two most dominant franchises in the history

1248
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 2: of the NBA. It's important that they're good but the Knicks,

1249
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 2: because of their New York hub, are almost equal in

1250
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 2: some way olden And it's been really a long time

1251
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 2: since we could legitimize the Knicks as you know, contenders. Yeah,

1252
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean they've had brief runs. I mean think about it.

1253
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 2: What's been their greatest run since the pat Riley days?

1254
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 2: What two weeks with insanity? I mean they're I mean,

1255
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 2: what are the Knicks really controlling the headlines? But it's

1256
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 2: so funny the insanity thing. In fact, this is great.

1257
01:09:56,200 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 2: I was in New York in twenty two twelve covering

1258
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 2: the Stanley Cup Final between the Devils obviously in New

1259
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 2: Jersey and the LA Kings. And I was in Manhattan

1260
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 2: and I went to the NBA store. My son, Garrett

1261
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 2: at the time, was like fourteen years old, huge NBA fan,

1262
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 2: and I called him. I said, look, I want to

1263
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 2: I want to get your jersey. I'll give you a choice.

1264
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 2: I can get you a Mellow jersey or he gets

1265
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 2: you a Jeremy Lynn jersey. He goes that insanity is over,

1266
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 2: give me Mellow. He has never regretted that decision. But

1267
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 2: I mean, the Knicks. When the Knicks are relevant, I

1268
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 2: think it just raises the entire league. I'm not a

1269
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 2: Knicks fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I

1270
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 2: do recognize that if the Knicks are in the conversation,

1271
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 2: that's a good thing for the NBA.

1272
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 3: It is. And what's so funny about it, they haven't

1273
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 3: won a championships since nineteen to seventy.

1274
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 2: That's it. You did it right there. And so and

1275
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 2: by the way, that entire teams in the Hall of Fame.

1276
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 2: They just inducted Dick Barnett to the Hall of Fase.

1277
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 2: Here ear Roe, Wolfraser, Dick Barnett, Jerry Lucas, Willis Reid,

1278
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 2: Dave de Busher, Bill Bradley, all of them in the

1279
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.

1280
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely, and so to me. And the last

1281
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 3: finals was the the Chase, the Chase Final oj the

1282
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 3: Broncos scene and so oh who wha woa.

1283
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 2: They were in the final in ninety nine against San Antonio.

1284
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 2: Remember they got blown out by the Spurs. Remember you

1285
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 2: ain't was hurt. Oh remember the shortened year the fifies

1286
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 2: that ninety nine season, right, Yeah, the next into the

1287
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 2: NBA forget Yeah, And so that's right, it was a

1288
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 2: forgettable finals appearing.

1289
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was because they put an asterisk on the

1290
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 3: San Antonio Championship right.

1291
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 2: Exactly so, but the last time they made it seven

1292
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 2: five years.

1293
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been twenty five years. But they are

1294
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 3: always the team that people talk about. You know, we

1295
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 3: know the Lakers with the seventeen, Celtics with the seventeen,

1296
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,639
Speaker 3: and the Knicks are in that conversation only because it's

1297
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 3: New York City. It's New York. It's the capitol of

1298
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 3: the world, media capitol of the world.

1299
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 2: It was playing in the garden specialty.

1300
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 3: It is, Oh my god. I grew up in I

1301
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 3: grew up in New York, so that was always like wow.

1302
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 3: You know when we went downtown, you you walk by

1303
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:30,679
Speaker 3: Mansion Square Garden, you knew of all the great players Monroe, Fraser,

1304
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 3: Willis and everybody, and so you know, I'm not thinking that,

1305
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 3: you know, one day I'm gonna play in the garden.

1306
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 3: But then when I got to the NBA, It's like, man,

1307
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 3: my first game at Masson Square Garden was insane. I

1308
01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,719
Speaker 3: was I was in such awe. And you know what's

1309
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 3: so funny about it, it's it's not the nicest place.

1310
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 2: Why not have you been any of these other ads?

1311
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,839
Speaker 2: You go to the Garden and it's like, I actually

1312
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 2: took my boys there in the summer. Roo we did,

1313
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 2: we did the whole tour. It was you know, it

1314
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 2: was off season for the next and you're like, it

1315
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 2: just has that has has that old lounge field.

1316
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 3: Yes, it has like cigarettes, hot dogs, rat droppings. It

1317
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 3: has that smell to it. And then as players, you know,

1318
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 3: you go down the elevator, it's a it's not a

1319
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:25,760
Speaker 3: real it's the what they call those elevators, know the

1320
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 3: where they bring in the the equipment right right right,

1321
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 3: we're in one of those. We're not in a regular

1322
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 3: what's that? That's what we go up and down in

1323
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 3: players in a freight elevator. And so it's like and

1324
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 3: then when you get down there, it's like the locker

1325
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 3: room is dingy.

1326
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 2: And was it worse than the old Boston Guarden?

1327
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 3: And you can see Willis Reed's tape wrapping.

1328
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 2: Was it worse than the old Boston Garden?

1329
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 3: They on par with each other? Oh my god, you

1330
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 3: know my okay, let's jump to the garden right quick.

1331
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 3: My first time at the garden, Boston Garden, I'm laying

1332
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 3: on the floor at center court, stretching and I hear

1333
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 3: there's rats under the floor. They I'm like, what the hell?

1334
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 3: My tennis? Like, man, those are rats.

1335
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 2: I heard the old Boston Garden locker room visiting lot

1336
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:21,879
Speaker 2: the worst.

1337
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 3: It's the worst, and it's so small. It's like you

1338
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 3: on top of each other, like got Some guys had

1339
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 3: to change outside. Some guys had to be in the

1340
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 3: bathroom because you all can't sit in there and change together.

1341
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 2: My classics seeing the greatest moment as a Lakers fan

1342
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 2: growing up was when the Lakers finally beat the Celtics

1343
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:46,799
Speaker 2: eighty five Finals in the Garden. And I never forget.

1344
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,639
Speaker 2: I wasn't there, but I'm watching as the players are

1345
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 2: coming into the visiting locker room. Once the players got in,

1346
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 2: there was like no space for the media. I mean,

1347
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 2: I've never seen a locker room that tiny.

1348
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 3: It's insane.

1349
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 2: And you got NBA players in it as well. All Right,

1350
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: I got a question about a non NBA player, Well

1351
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 2: maybe she is sort of oh she yeah, yeah, you

1352
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 2: know who I'm talking about. I gotta break it down

1353
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 2: with Olden. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

1354
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

1355
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and Olden, Paul and East Once again. This

1356
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,919
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday. We are alive from the Tyraq

1357
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 2: dot com studios. All right, we're watching again the final

1358
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 2: round of the PGA Golf Championship and Xander Shaffle right

1359
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 2: now has a one shot lead over Bryson Deshambo. Of course,

1360
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 2: to Shambo is playing live golf these days, making a

1361
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 2: lot of money for a lot less play.

1362
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 3: Oh boy.

1363
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: Uh. And by the way, they don't seem to be

1364
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 2: any closer to any kind of union between live golf

1365
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 2: and the PGA Tour. That could be a big story

1366
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 2: moving ahead in golf. So the sham is taking a

1367
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 2: rip at a shot right.

1368
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 3: Now as we are wearing that.

1369
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit, and he hit a bomb but

1370
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 2: short of the green. All right, I want to ask

1371
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 2: you about the Caitlin Clark situation because the WNBA has

1372
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 2: really screwed this up royally. So the argument about whether

1373
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 2: or not Kaylin Clark is the best player is irrelevant.

1374
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 2: What was relevant about Kaitlyn Clark's moved to the WNBA

1375
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,640
Speaker 2: is that even though they have great stars in the WNBA,

1376
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 2: a lot of these women were great stars at the

1377
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 2: collegiate level. I remember when Kannas Parker came out of Tennessee.

1378
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 2: I thought, if this, if she can't move the needle

1379
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 2: with the WNBA, nobody can't. She checked every box, she had,

1380
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,679
Speaker 2: the game, she had, the look, she had everything going

1381
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 2: for her. Did not move the needle. But Kaitlyn Clark's

1382
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 2: a different one that we never see anything like it.

1383
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,600
Speaker 2: I mean again, that championship game that she played was

1384
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 2: the most watched best the ball game yep NBA college

1385
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 2: men in five years. So she had that going for her,

1386
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 2: and the wa NBA lucks out because their season started

1387
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 2: so soon after the end of the collegiate season where

1388
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 2: you can keep the momentum going. The Fever have been

1389
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 2: the worst team in the WNBA for the last two

1390
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 2: years running. It's a bad team. And then you open

1391
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 2: up their schedule against two of the best defensive teams

1392
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,799
Speaker 2: in the league in Connecticut and Liberty.

1393
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1394
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:36,480
Speaker 2: So you know, people that were watching w NBA basketball

1395
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 2: for the first time simply to see Caitlin Clark are

1396
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 2: watching saying, what happened? Here? Where's the girl that I

1397
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: saw raining in all these threes from all over the

1398
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 2: court pulling a Steph Curry impersonation? What happened to her?

1399
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 2: And here's the thing, you should have scheduled the fever

1400
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 2: a bad team against the worst teams in the league

1401
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 2: early to give her an opportunity. And the other thing

1402
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 2: is the coach of the fever. She said, I don't

1403
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: want her holding the ball more than point five seconds.

1404
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 2: When you get the ball, you can either shoot or

1405
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 2: you pass the ball. I don't want any of that

1406
01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 2: holding on to the ball. And I'm thinking, well, you're gone,

1407
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,440
Speaker 2: because if you're the coach of a team going nowhere anywhere,

1408
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 2: you let her do whatever she wants to do. And

1409
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 2: by the way, if there are no teammates compliant, get

1410
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 2: them out of here. And that should be a mandate

1411
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 2: from the league. I'm telling you right now, Olden, they're

1412
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 2: blowing it. They're blowing a golden opportunity to raise the

1413
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 2: profile that league because it won't take long if she

1414
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 2: doesn't do something really out of the ordinary for people

1415
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 2: to lose interest to move on.

1416
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 3: Well, I hear what you're saying, and so I don't

1417
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 3: know if cancel culture is going to come get me.

1418
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:02,560
Speaker 3: The best way I can describe Caitlin Clark is to

1419
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 3: take it outside of basketball. You know, I just got

1420
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 3: to be outside of basketball it's not about her making

1421
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 3: shots or anything else. To your point, you are absolutely right.

1422
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 3: She moves the needle and that's all that should matter.

1423
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 3: This young lady is moving the needle. She's making all

1424
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 3: of you relevant. You guys all of a sudden have

1425
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 3: charter planes. So leave it alone. The people that are

1426
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 3: questioning whether she can play in the WNBA should shut

1427
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 3: up because it has nothing to do with that. She's

1428
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 3: good enough to play in the WNBA. When y'all start

1429
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 3: talking about all this stuff, her playing against men and

1430
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 3: all that, I don't pay attention to dummies like that.

1431
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 3: She's good enough to play in the WNBA because she's

1432
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 3: a WNBA damn player. She's good enough. She's a great shooter. Okay, Now,

1433
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 3: the thing about the five seconds, that's a coaching philosophy.

1434
01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 3: But I know where she got it from. She heard

1435
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 3: that on Steph Curry's podcast. So Steph Curry's YouTube channel,

1436
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 3: Steph Curry talks about that. Okay, it's like a grenade.

1437
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 3: If you haven't longer than five seconds, it blows up

1438
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 3: in your hand. That's where that coach got that from.

1439
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 3: Let it go. That girl should be doing what the

1440
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 3: same thing she did at Iowa period.

1441
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 2: Let her play, let her be absolutely. I mean, that's

1442
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 2: exactly what she should do. I'm telling you, I made

1443
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 2: the comparison when Pete Marrivitch came into the league. The

1444
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks drafted him and told them, you're gonna have

1445
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 2: to change your game, and everyone's like, what the heck?

1446
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 2: We want to see that guy that was scoring forty

1447
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 2: four points a game at LSU. It's a bad team.

1448
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 2: When the Lakers got bad, what do they do? They

1449
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 2: made the smart move. Let Kobe shoot. Score eighty one points,

1450
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 2: score sixty points. That's what people want. We realize it's

1451
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 2: not a championship caliber team, so let Kobe go off.

1452
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:56,880
Speaker 3: All right?

1453
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, we're all over the

1454
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,559

01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:35,320

1465
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 2: Pacers leading the Nicks twenty six to twenty two. And

1466
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 2: early on in this game, again you mentioned earlier olden

1467
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 2: stars have to show up and one guy you talked

1468
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 2: about with Siakam, how about five for five from the field,

1469
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 2: he made his only three point at tempt eleven points

1470
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 2: in seven minutes start this game for Indiana.

1471
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,839
Speaker 3: Definitely, Oh definitely. I mean that's what they do. Stars

1472
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 3: have to step up, and he's one of those guys.

1473
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,920
Speaker 3: I made a trade for you. You have to perform, and

1474
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:08,680
Speaker 3: he's done that, you know, I think you know. Halliburton's

1475
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 3: playing well. Also, Namhad's made a couple of threes, so yeah, oh,

1476
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 3: look at that ugly jumper, but it goes in.

1477
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:17,719
Speaker 2: And only counts of the box score.

1478
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, they don't say how you shot it.

1479
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 2: So they are it looks like gonna be careful with

1480
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 2: the minutes. With Ananobi, who is back, as we had reported,

1481
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 2: he's been out since Game two. Average twenty points in

1482
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 2: the first couple of games, and good news for the

1483
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 2: Knicks fans. He hit his first two shot attempts, one

1484
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 2: being a three pointer. But again he is limiting his minutes.

1485
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 3: Oh definitely. Well, the problem is I saw him warming

1486
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 3: up and oh Halliburton hit another one.

1487
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 2: All right now, all of a sudden, the Pacers are

1488
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 2: on an eight hur run since we spoke, and the

1489
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 2: lead is now twelve.

1490
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Og looked really gimpy. You know. All his

1491
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:02,799
Speaker 3: movements were real slow, and you're gonna do really well

1492
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 3: because the adrenaline factor. But when that wears off and

1493
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 3: those pills wear off, yeah, you're gonna feel it.

1494
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 2: Man. The Pacers are on fire to start this game.

1495
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 2: They are shooting seventy eight percent, seventy five percent from

1496
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 2: the three point line. Haliburton off to good start. Here's

1497
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 2: a guy that's obviously elevated his game to the all

1498
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 2: start level. You know, for a lot of people that

1499
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 2: you know are not just die hard Pacers fans or

1500
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 2: die hard NBA fans. You look at this Pacers lineup.

1501
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 2: You know Siakam because obviously he was part of a

1502
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 2: championship team in Toronto, But how many people really know Tyrese.

1503
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean how I mean, how many people really understand

1504
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 2: what this Pacers team about. Coached by your former Virginia

1505
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 2: teammate Rick Carlisle. Where are they going? Like, what's next

1506
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 2: for this Pacers franchise? I mean, how much do they

1507
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 2: still need? How relevant are they going to be over

1508
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:04,640
Speaker 2: the next several years.

1509
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 3: I like the upswing of the Pacers, you know, Carla

1510
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 3: coming in great higher, They're gonna go as far as Halliburton.

1511
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 3: But also they need some more. They need another big bodied,

1512
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 3: bruiser type power forward. You know, Miles Turner, you know,

1513
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 3: he's he's decent, you know in that five spot, so

1514
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 3: you okay there, you know, because he's inside outside guy

1515
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 3: and he does know how to attack the rim when

1516
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 3: he sets his mind to do it, but he doesn't

1517
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,639
Speaker 3: do it consistently. So to me, the problem for them

1518
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 3: is going to be getting a power forward because Secom's

1519
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 3: not a power forward. Seeacomes are three, and so if

1520
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 3: they going out and get somebody like that, that could

1521
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 3: just you know, man the like an Aaron Gordon would

1522
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:56,759
Speaker 3: be perfect for them. Somebody like that. So guard wise,

1523
01:24:56,880 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 3: they set at the guards. They have some solid gods

1524
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 3: and some good shooting, so they sat there. They just

1525
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:11,760
Speaker 3: need another big body and time and time. You know.

1526
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:15,559
Speaker 2: I had a friend of mine, we're talking about these

1527
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 2: two game sevens yesterday, and he said he was gonna

1528
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 2: double down on the road teams. He goes, I love

1529
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 2: the Pacers, I love the t Wolves. And I'm thinking

1530
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 2: to myself, has that ever happened before in the history

1531
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 2: of the NBA, where two home teams lose a Game

1532
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:37,839
Speaker 2: seven on the same day. I'm gonna guess it's never happened.

1533
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 3: I don't think.

1534
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,759
Speaker 2: I mean, there's been home teams that have lost Game seven,

1535
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 2: but two on the same day. But I did say

1536
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 2: this to him, I said, I think he probably got

1537
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty shot here. I think that one

1538
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 2: of these road teams could win, and at least early on,

1539
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 2: the Pacers look like a team that's ready to spoil

1540
01:25:58,000 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 2: the party for the New York Knicks.

1541
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 3: Have more of a chance to beat the Knicks, then

1542
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves have a chance of beating the Denver Nuggets.

1543
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 3: That's the bottom line, because I mean Pacers had the

1544
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 3: Knicks beat in New York already, and through whatever everything,

1545
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 3: so through no fault of the all, whether it was

1546
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 3: you know, the referees or something something happened where the

1547
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 3: Knicks came back and won. But I think they know

1548
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 3: how to play the Knicks, and the pressure will mount

1549
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 3: on the Knicks the more the game goes along. And

1550
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:38,759
Speaker 3: if they keep, you know, a deficit of double digits,

1551
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 3: the Knicks are gonna be in trouble because they're gonna

1552
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,400
Speaker 3: start thinking about it. And then the fans, those great

1553
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 3: New York Knicks that want to say go New York, Go,

1554
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 3: New York Go, They're gonna start boom and when that hits,

1555
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 3: it's a wrap.

1556
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 2: Well, the story of this first quarter is what you

1557
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 2: talked about. The stars have to show up, and for

1558
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 2: Indiana it has been the case. Haliburton and Siakam twenty

1559
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 2: five points combined in this first quarter for the Pacers

1560
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 2: combined ten of thirteen from the field, so they've been

1561
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 2: on absolute fire early on. The Knicks are going to

1562
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 2: have to find some answers real quick air. So we

1563
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 2: talked about Thibodeau and his abilities as a coach, and

1564
01:27:22,360 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 2: you said, at some point, even though players decide games,

1565
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 2: this is where coaches have to step in. If you're

1566
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,639
Speaker 2: suddenly at the end of the quarter and you look

1567
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 2: up and the Pacers almost have forty in the first quarter.

1568
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 2: Your defense ain't getting the job done. What does a

1569
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 2: guy like Thibodeau do to turn this thing around?

1570
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 3: Well, that's not coaching, that's effort. It's too different.

1571
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 2: Wait but whit wait hold on, See I've always been

1572
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 2: trying to justify and coaches roles period, because there's only

1573
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 2: one staff for a coach. It's called wins and lossesp.

1574
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 2: That's that's your stack. How many games you win, how

1575
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 2: many did you lose? If you win more than you lose,

1576
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: you have a better chance to keep your job. Nick's

1577
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,879
Speaker 2: trying to get something going here in the final seconds

1578
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,600
Speaker 2: of the first quarter, and a three ball is no

1579
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 2: good and that is the quarter. So Indiana leads this

1580
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,840
Speaker 2: one by a score of thirty nine to twenty seven,

1581
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 2: Haliburton with four to three point shots made in this

1582
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 2: first quarter. But it just seems to me, if if

1583
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 2: your team is lacking effort in a game seven at home,

1584
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 2: you better do something as a coach to wake him up.

1585
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you have to, But at the same time,

1586
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 3: there's so many different components. Ogi Adanoby coming back to me.

1587
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 3: He was a liability on defense, because he's not gonna

1588
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,759
Speaker 3: be able to move laterally the way he was before

1589
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 3: the injury. So you got to take that into account. Again.

1590
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 3: They trying to conjure up the spirit of willis reed.

1591
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 3: You know. Oh, here comes lipping and I think it

1592
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 3: was the same injury too for og and so it's like, no,

1593
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 3: you have to be healthy. I understand you trying to

1594
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 3: give it y'all. Yes, he made two shots, but he

1595
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,799
Speaker 3: was a liability on defense and Indiana was taking advantage

1596
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 3: of that. And that's why he came out the game

1597
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,320
Speaker 3: and they making shots. Remember I said, makes and misses.

1598
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 3: That's all this game is about who makes more shots.

1599
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 3: Right now, Indiana it's knocking down shots. Halliburton's knocking shots down.

1600
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 3: If it doesn't go in, it's good for the Knicks.

1601
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 3: We call that good defense.

1602
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:23,400
Speaker 2: All right.

1603
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:23,599
Speaker 4: Now.

1604
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:25,720
Speaker 2: The Pacers could not have played any better in that

1605
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 2: first quarter. They shot seventy six percent from the field,

1606
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 2: seventy eight percent from the three point line, and that's

1607
01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 2: why the Pacers have a twelve point first quarter lead.

1608
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 2: Switching over to the PJA Golf Championship Final round action

1609
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 2: going on right now. By the way, if you don't

1610
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 2: know this Olden's got quite a golf game and a

1611
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 2: fierce love of the game. I know that now for

1612
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 2: a seven footer to play golf always seems to me

1613
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 2: like a challenge. How long before you could actually get

1614
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 2: custom clubs that actually fit your frame and allowed you

1615
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 2: to play a normal game of golf.

1616
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 3: Oh. The first time I started golfing, I learned how

1617
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:16,040
Speaker 3: to golf in Hawaii at Kapalua, of all places, one

1618
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 3: of the greatest golf.

1619
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:18,639
Speaker 2: Courses around, one of the most beautiful.

1620
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 3: So I was with former NBA player Eddie Johnson and

1621
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 3: Mike Woodson and they're like, hey, we're going golfing. I

1622
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 3: had never golf, so I went out there, just say

1623
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 3: hang out, camaraderie. So I ran a set of clubs

1624
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 3: and lo and behole. You know, of course I'm not

1625
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 3: going to play well. These built for six footers, right,

1626
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 3: So I'm hacking away. They're trying to teach me. I'm hacking.

1627
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, this is this is whack. So last hole,

1628
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm one hundred and seventy yards out and I grab

1629
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:53,719
Speaker 3: a five iron and I hit it and the ball

1630
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:54,679
Speaker 3: goes in the hole.

1631
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see this how golf is it's in city.

1632
01:30:57,600 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 3: The last hole, it goes like, Okay, I like this gig.

1633
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,439
Speaker 2: This is right. This is how so many people get

1634
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 2: hooked on golf. You could have the worst day ever,

1635
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 2: but you'll remember that one shot. The golf gods smile

1636
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 2: at least once on you. It could be a long pot,

1637
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 2: it could be an iron shot, it'd be a drake

1638
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 2: great drive, but you hit that one shot that convinces yeah,

1639
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 2: I can play this game.

1640
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 8: No.

1641
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 3: I was like, I was hooked and so But the

1642
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 3: funny part is I got back to Seattle and I

1643
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 3: went and got clubs made in this company called Redbird.

1644
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:34,679
Speaker 3: I hope I can give them a shout out because

1645
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 3: and I've played. I played with Redbirds till this day. Really,

01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: Old?

01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 2: And you said, You're going down to San Diego under Reid.

1653

Speaker 2: He's got a golf tournament down there. You're gonna play

1654
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 2: in that.

Speaker 3: Yep, and that's gonna be fun. It's always a great time.

1656
01:31:56,720 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 3: You know, they put on a great event, and so

1657
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna golf. Hopefully I got a good team. I've

1658
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 3: struggled the last couple of years. You know, I'm used

1659
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 3: to winning championships now at these tournaments.

1660
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:12,000
Speaker 2: I got a story for you. So you know, you

1661
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:14,599
Speaker 2: play in a celebrity golf tournament and they put to you,

1662
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 2: you're like the celebrity on a team, right, And I

1663
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 2: got hooked up as a so called celebrity on a

1664
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 2: team with four minor league hockey players their buddies. And

1665
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 2: we had that one guy that just kept rolling in putts,

1666
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,600
Speaker 2: I mean twenty five feet and our score is I

1667
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 2: think we finished at thirteen under. You're only allowed two

1668
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: mulligans as a team. We used the two mulligans, but

1669
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 2: we posted a thirteen under score. So I'm talking to

1670
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 2: some of my other friends. Right, we're coming out the course.

1671
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 2: What were you at seven hunder six center? I mean,

1672
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,639
Speaker 2: I'm like, we won. We won. So now you got

1673
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:54,479
Speaker 2: the post banquet, right, I knew this was going to happen.

1674
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 2: So we get to the post banquet and they're going

1675
01:32:56,840 --> 01:33:00,759
Speaker 2: third play so and so and minus ten second place

01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 2: the late great Deacon Jones, one of my favorite people

1680
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:22,480
Speaker 2: full time. But he was so notorious in these celebrity cultros.

1681
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, No, there's no way, no way. We

1682
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 2: had two mulligans too. How many mullets, Steve. We all

1683
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 2: used to liar, uh huh liar.

1684
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 3: Oh I run across those teams. Yeah, trust me. They

1685
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 3: wait till the last score is posting, and they put this.

1686
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable.

1687
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 3: I'm good, Yeah, it's all right though. I've won my share,

1688
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:50,839
Speaker 3: and so I'm happy with them. You got some trophies

1689
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 3: and a lot of times I'll get with and again,

1690
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 3: it's just fun. You know, you out there with a

1691
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:58,080
Speaker 3: good group. When you get a good group, it doesn't

1692
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 3: matter anymore. Like I played in in Sacramento recently, Greg

1693
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 3: Rohan baseball player, I played in his. I had the

1694
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 3: pleasure of playing with these four ladies. But they were

1695
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 3: all golfers. Yeah, and I loved it because they were

1696
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:13,600
Speaker 3: all can hit the ball. So I didn't even have

1697
01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 3: to drive because you know they tea from the women's

1698
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 3: teas man, that's sixty seventy yards on some of the

1699
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 3: holes already. I was like, I'm good, I'll let y'all

1700
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,720
Speaker 3: drive and then you know, we'll bring it in. And

1701
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 3: we finished at sixteen under. Wow, which is a great score,

1702
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:38,800
Speaker 3: phenomenal in eighteen holes. But the problem with this golf

1703
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 3: tournament was if you paid, you know, you can get

1704
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 3: a hold in one based on if you gave a

1705
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,879
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars. So a lot of people were buying

1706
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 3: scores and I didn't. I wasn't feeling that. I mean,

1707
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 3: it was for the cause, you know, we're there to

1708
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 3: make money, but I'm trying to play and win.

1709
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,679
Speaker 2: I'm your editor, thank you very much.

1710
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 3: I'm like, what you know, the lady, you know, we

1711
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 3: did the little you know, like we'll do like maybe

1712
01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 3: twenty dollars over here for something. But I'm like these

1713
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,719
Speaker 3: people were buying holes like they were like holding one.

1714
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 3: If you pay one thousand dollars, you get to hit

1715
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:16,679
Speaker 3: your first shot from one hundred and fifty yards.

1716
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 2: You just you go straight to the green and she's

1717
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:22,759
Speaker 2: just twenty five.

1718
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:29,479
Speaker 3: Come on, there's only eighteen holes in go.

1719

1729
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 2: the ti Raq dot Com studios. It's getting ugly at

1730
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 2: the guarden. How about this. Pacers lead the Knicks by

1731
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:09,080
Speaker 2: twenty fifty two twenty two, eight minutes ago. In the

1732
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 2: second quarter, Pacers are shooting seventy nine percent in this game.

1733
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 2: Seventy nine percent shooting, seventy nine percent shooting for the

1734
01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 2: Pacers in this game. And it has been a rough

1735
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 2: go for the Knicks. So they're gonna have a steep

1736
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,719
Speaker 2: hill to climb. Uh And by the way, the Pacers

1737
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:36,799
Speaker 2: are passing the ball twenty two field goals made, sixteen assists.

1738
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 3: It's insane. They've missed five shots. Yes, it's insane. I mean,

1739
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 3: I knew the Pacers were gonna have a run early,

1740
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 3: but I didn't think they were going to continue that run.

1741
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 3: I thought the Knicks would like man up and do something. Wow,

1742
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 3: And it's only gonna get worse because the more time runs.

1743
01:36:58,040 --> 01:36:58,720
Speaker 2: That's another one.

1744
01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 3: Pacers and the birds way way all have birds.

1745
01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:07,759
Speaker 2: They're showing. They've been showing every celebrity at the garden

1746
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:09,760
Speaker 2: and there are a lot of them all deck out

1747
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 2: of their next gear and the Yeah, well, the Knicks

1748
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 2: are just gonna have to catch fire here. So we

1749
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 2: talked about stars showing up. Bruntson three of nine shooting

1750
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 2: six points, three and nine shooting six points for Brunton.

1751
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 2: Right now, to put that in perspective, Halliburton has got

1752
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 2: fourteen points. And by the way, this run here in

1753
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 2: the second quarter, extending the PACER's lead is coming from

1754
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:37,799
Speaker 2: their bench.

1755
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's those guys. TJ. McConnell. He's done well, he's

1756
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 3: he's posting up.

1757
01:37:43,080 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 2: They got Jackson in the game. He made both of

1758
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 2: his shots. Shepherds in the game.

1759
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ben Shepherd. Yeah goodness.

1760
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,479
Speaker 2: Actually their bench is only this one shot, So the

1761
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 2: Pacers are hey.

1762
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 3: Here we go. They made two in a row. Yeah, go,

1763
01:37:58,200 --> 01:37:58,680
Speaker 3: Knicks go?

1764
01:37:58,880 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 8: All right?

1765
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 2: The Knicks are with an call me if they get

1766
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 2: it into single digits, right, I.

1767
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 3: Tell you they gonna make They gotta make a run.

1768
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 3: That's them. It don't matter what the lead is, the

1769
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 3: Knicks will make a run. All right.

1770
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 2: So while that's going on, and of course we'll talk

1771
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:14,800
Speaker 2: more about the game later tonight between the Nuggets and

1772
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 2: the te Wolves. We got this final round the PGA

1773
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:22,439
Speaker 2: Golf Championship going on right now. Xanderschaffley, acknowledged by just

1774
01:38:22,479 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 2: about everyone, is the best golfer not to win a

1775
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:28,600
Speaker 2: major golf championship, his major. His major record is remarkable.

1776
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 2: He has played in twenty seven majors. He's been top

1777
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty times in twenty seven starts. He's got a

1778
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:37,679
Speaker 2: dozen top tens, he got half a dozen top fives.

1779
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 2: He's never won, and right now he has a two

1780
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 2: shot lead. And of course, pair with Morikaw has won

1781
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 2: a couple of majors. The question of Maricaw has always

1782
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 2: been his putter, and he's not making putts today, so

1783
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:52,760
Speaker 2: that's good news for Chaffley. So he is teeing off

1784
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 2: right now with the two shot lead over Victor Hovelin

1785
01:38:56,840 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 2: and Bryson Deshambeau. I'm rooting for this guy. I mean,

1786
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 2: he's a San Diego kid, he's a San Diego State guy,

1787
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:06,600
Speaker 2: and we've been covering his career forever. I like to

1788
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 2: see him finally break through and get the money because

1789
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 2: you always feel like a guy like this who's always

1790
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:14,200
Speaker 2: in contention seemingly a major's if he just wins one.

1791
01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 2: Is how it was with Phil Michelson. You know, for

1792
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 2: years Phil just could not win that first major. Then

1793
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:22,040
Speaker 2: he won the Masters, and all of a sudden he

1794
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:24,120
Speaker 2: was able to rattle off a couple of more majors.

1795
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 2: So keep our eye on that. Let's see, are the

1796
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:27,400
Speaker 2: Knicks making any run here?

1797
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 3: No, it's eighteen, but I mean they at home and

1798
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 3: they down eighteen. That's almost like down twenty eight.

1799
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:40,080
Speaker 2: Again, look at they're just showing every celebrity face.

1800
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:42,160
Speaker 3: They're stunned right now.

1801
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 2: They're just looking up like is this for real? Are

1802
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,880
Speaker 2: the Knicks already down eighteen points in the first half

1803
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:48,479
Speaker 2: of this game?

1804
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 3: You know what, can I say something about Xander Schoffley? Yeah,

1805
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 3: you know, I mean you make a great point about

1806
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 3: you know, you know, reading off his stats like that.

1807
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:58,040
Speaker 3: But it's insane. And when you think about it, that

1808
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 3: this guy all those top tens, top fives, Yeah, and

1809
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 3: you're nowhere near winning a championship, and it's like, how

1810
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 3: does that happen?

1811
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:10,880
Speaker 2: You're playing well in the final round.

1812
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 3: That's why it goes to show you the craziness of golf.

1813
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:20,440
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy is insanely good, but he cannot

1814
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 3: win a major.

1815
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 2: Ricky Fowler was that way, he could not win a major,

1816
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 2: still never won a major. I mean, it's it's not

1817
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 2: easy golf. Now, John Day won two majors. Don't you

1818
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 2: like his game? The other day? So he smoked. He

1819
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 2: shot an eighty two withdrew that he's in a cart,

1820
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,800
Speaker 2: but that here was the best part. He couldn't put

1821
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 2: the bag in the cart, so they allowed him to

1822
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 2: use a cart, but he's still had a cat. He

1823
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 2: carried the bag and he smoked two packs of cigarettes

1824
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 2: during the round. He ate four Snickers bars large one

1825
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:55,920
Speaker 2: and then drank two cokes.

1826
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:58,120
Speaker 3: So they love John. Is he just.

1827
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 2: Testing to see how much he can do to his

1828
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:04,639
Speaker 2: body before finally says John, we're gonna call it a day,

1829
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 2: or what's he doing there.

1830
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:08,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, but I just love being around here.

1831
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,760
Speaker 3: He's one of the funniest people. Oh absolutely, I mean

1832
01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 3: I still remember that. I can't remember the tournament. It

1833
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 3: might have been the British Open when he had the shakes.

1834
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, my goodness. I was scared for him at

1835
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 3: that point. I thought he gave all that stuff up.

1836
01:41:24,320 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 3: But apparently he hasn't. So he withdrew from PGA.

1837
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: Right, yes, yeah, he he just shot in eighty two

1838
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:32,919
Speaker 2: and just called.

1839
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:39,840
Speaker 3: Call it okay, Steve. If golfers like that shoot eighties

1840
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:42,920
Speaker 3: in a tournament, what would we shoot?

1841
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 2: Well, I can only go by one experience. So in

1842
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five, this championship, the PGA Championship, was at

1843
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 2: the Riva or A country club, and they allowed media

1844
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,679
Speaker 2: members to play the course. That was about six weeks before.

1845
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 2: But they were getting ready for a minut, which means

1846
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 2: that Kokuia grass rough. It's gonna raise a little bit

1847
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 2: and the greens are gonna be a little bit slicker.

1848
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 2: I'd played the course a couple of times. It's at

1849
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:10,400
Speaker 2: a time I was playing a decent amount of golf

1850
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 2: and forget it. I mean, I had the rough way,

1851
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 2: it was like, literally, if there was one blade of

1852
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,519
Speaker 2: this Kakuia grass between the face of the club and

1853
01:42:23,560 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 2: the ball, it would break your wrist like barbed wire.

1854
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1855
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, the winning score is like seventeen

1856
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 2: under for that tournament. They just tore up the course.

1857
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:39,479
Speaker 2: The proskill these guys are ridiculously good. By the way,

1858
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler, I think is finished either shot at sixty

1859
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 2: five I believe today or sixty four too little too

1860
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:51,439
Speaker 2: late after yesterday's this seaeon he actually shot at sixty fives,

1861
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:53,439
Speaker 2: so he finished at thirteen hundred. It's not going to

1862
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 2: be good enough. But Scheffler rebounding after yesterday's disappointing seventy three.

1863
01:42:58,000 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what's trending right now. We're

1864
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 2: talking about the game. She's watching these games and the

1865
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 2: golf going on right now. It's a very busy day,

1866
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 2: a championship day. Yeah.

1867
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 6: Yesterday, Steve, when we were talking to Mark Medina.

1868
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 7: I questioned the Pacers maybe having the edge and he

1869
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:17,559
Speaker 7: was like, no, no, New York has the edge, and

1870
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 7: I just I was surprised if Pacers went to Game

1871
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 7: seven again.

1872
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 2: Pacers are shooting eighty percent. They're twenty four of thirty. Yeah,

1873
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 2: but seven to ten from the three point line. That

1874
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,760
Speaker 2: you are shooting eighty percent with five minutes to go

1875
01:43:31,840 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 2: in the first half, you know you.

1876
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 6: Gotta step up, and they have stepped up. I understand

1877
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:36,680
Speaker 6: that that is not sustainable.

1878
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 2: How about defensively doing something here? And I'm sorry, I

1879
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 2: mean at some point, knock somebody over, do something, get

1880
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 2: them out of the rhythm.

1881
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:49,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but no, it's all Pacers so far. You

1882
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 6: guys are right. Fifty six thirty nine is the score?

1883
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 6: Is that the latest? Let's refresh just to make sure.

1884
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 7: Yes, five and a half minutes to go in the

1885
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 7: first half.

1886
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:03,360
Speaker 6: Tyrese Halliburn fourteen points. Leading scorer Dante DiVincenzo.

1887
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 7: Has twelve points for the Knicks, who are playing with

1888
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 7: og On Nanobi and Josh Hart, but you know they

1889
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 7: have been injured.

1890
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 6: So pacers so far in this first half.

1891
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 7: We do have another game seven later today in the

1892
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 7: NBA from Denver Nuggets and the Timberwo Zach games and

1893
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 7: start until.

1894
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 6: Eight pm Eastern time. At the PGA Championship.

1895
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 7: You just mentioned that Scotti Scheffler did come back a

1896
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 7: little bit, a little too late, though he is thirteen

1897
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 7: under par overall.

1898
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 6: He has done for the day. He did shoot a

1899
01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 6: sixty five in the final round.

1900
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 7: Xander Schoffley in the lead all by himself eighteen under

1901
01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 7: par overall.

1902
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:39,280
Speaker 6: For today, he is three under through seven holes. Victor Hovlin, Bryce.

1903
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:42,920
Speaker 7: And Deshambo are now two shots back. Colin Morrikawa, who

1904
01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 7: was in the lead to start this final round, is

1905
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 7: now three shots back. And in soccer, Manchester United did

1906
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,639
Speaker 7: be west Ham United three to one, so man City

1907
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,680
Speaker 7: becomes a first team to win the Premier League four.

1908
01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:55,599
Speaker 6: Years in a row.

1909
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,760
Speaker 7: And in Major League Baseball, we got the Reds and

1910
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 7: the Dodgers playing right now for Mala, scoreless in the

1911
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 7: bottom of the second inning. The Mets are beating the

1912
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 7: Marlins by more now at seven to three bottom of

1913
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 7: the ninth in Miami, the Brewers have added some runs,

1914
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 7: but the Astros are still on top nine to four

1915
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,519
Speaker 7: bottom of the seventh. The Royals are beating the A's

1916
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:14,920
Speaker 7: eight to four top of the ninth in Kansas City,

1917
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 7: and the Pirates have taken the lead over the Cubs

1918
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:17,960
Speaker 7: three to two.

1919
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 6: Top of the eighth inning.

1920
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 7: The Angels have taken the lead over the Rangers, excuse me,

1921
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 7: four to one top of the eighth, as well, the

1922
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,720
Speaker 7: Rockies on the scoreboard, beating the Giants one zero in

1923
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 7: San Francisco bottom of the second, and the Diamondbacks with

1924
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 7: the early lead over the Tigers to zero top of

1925
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,639
Speaker 7: the second. The Red Sox they crushed the Cardinals eleven

1926
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 7: to three. The Yankees have now won seven in a row.

1927
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 7: They beat the White Sox seven to two to.

1928
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 6: Complete the sweep.

1929
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 7: The Orioles with the six to three victory over the Mariners.

1930
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 7: Gunner Henderson now leads Major League Baseball with fifteen homers.

1931
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 6: The Phillies they beat the Nationals eleven to five. The

1932
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:53,200
Speaker 6: Blue Jays avoided the sweep.

1933
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,640
Speaker 7: They beat the Rays five to two, and the Guardians

1934
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 7: walked it off against the Twins. Five to three was

1935
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:01,080
Speaker 7: the final score. Spin five fellas back to you.

1936
01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 2: All right, Monsie, great job as always. The Knicks defense

1937
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,519
Speaker 2: is showing some more intensity, but there's no slowing down

1938
01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:12,240
Speaker 2: their shot making. The Pacers, who's shooting eighty one percent?

1939
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they still knocking down shots.

1940
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:17,599
Speaker 2: They're still knocking down shots. You can see the Knicks

1941
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 2: are trying to step up their intensity on the defensive end,

1942
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,880
Speaker 2: but they're not making shots and it is still a

1943
01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:28,400
Speaker 2: nineteen point Pacers lead with four minutes to go in

1944
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:32,640
Speaker 2: the first of sixty one points. Oh ready for the Pacers.

1945
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 2: This is not exactly an offensive juggernaut team.

1946
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:39,519
Speaker 3: My goodness, Well they are officers jugging out. They would

1947
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 3: have number one scoring team in the NBA. Well, I mean,

1948
01:46:42,240 --> 01:46:47,639
Speaker 3: in this seriace, they just shoot. They're making shots. But

1949
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 3: it's like again, it's the Knicks home and they down

1950
01:46:54,320 --> 01:46:58,679
Speaker 3: and so to me, they need more. Okay, they're scoring

1951
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 3: right now. You cannot exchange baskets. You have to be

1952
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 3: able to stop the Pacers. At some point in time,

1953
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:05,879
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to stop them.

1954
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. Twenty six out of thirty three from the field,

1955
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 2: seventy nine percent shooting for this Pacers team. But again,

1956
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 2: the stat that just jumps out of me as their

1957
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 2: assist nineteen assists on twenty six field goals made. So

1958
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 2: they're doing it. You're talking about the inside outside game,

1959
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:25,840
Speaker 2: Pacers getting into the middle line, passing out to wide

1960
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 2: open shooters and they're making their shots.

1961
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:32,400
Speaker 3: This game is not difficult, all right.

1962
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 2: So the Knicks have closed within sixteen we'll keep our

1963
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 2: eye on this and I'm just gonna pick the Pacers

1964
01:47:37,560 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 2: to make their next shot. I'm just predicting. And there

1965
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:39,840
Speaker 2: it is.

1966
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:41,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

1967
01:47:43,400 --> 01:47:45,479
Speaker 2: And one, oh and one.

1968
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 3: He just wanted to pat his stats, all right.

1969
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 2: So again, since this team, this Indiana Pacers team, and

1970
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 2: what did job Rick Carlisle's done over the last couple

1971
01:47:56,240 --> 01:47:58,920
Speaker 2: of years to get the Pacers where they are? If

1972
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 2: they hold off the Knicks and win this game. You

1973
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:05,600
Speaker 2: were talking earlier about the Knicks matching up against the Celtics.

1974
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:09,360
Speaker 2: If the Pacers play anywhere near this level, how do

1975
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:10,879
Speaker 2: they match up against the Celtics.

1976
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 3: Ah, it's gonna be difficult for them because I think

1977
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:21,800
Speaker 3: that matchup bodes well for the Celtics only because of

1978
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 3: the Jays, Jelen and Jason. But again, you never know.

1979
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 3: It's like but if they shoot like this, it doesn't

1980
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:34,240
Speaker 3: matter who's in front of them. But you can't sustain

1981
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 3: this kind of effort, man, nobody can. I don't even

1982
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:39,719
Speaker 3: think they're gonna play this well in the second half.

1983
01:48:40,160 --> 01:48:42,839
Speaker 2: Well, they won't, and that's gonna be the real key, obviously,

1984
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,799
Speaker 2: is the third quarter. And we've seen him many times

1985
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 2: before a team gets on a good run just gets

1986
01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:51,120
Speaker 2: himself if the Knicks can you know, depending on what

1987
01:48:51,160 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 2: the halftime score is, that we still got three minutes

1988
01:48:53,120 --> 01:48:55,559
Speaker 2: to go in the first half. Pacers up nineteen. But

1989
01:48:56,400 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 2: let's say if you get to single digits at home

1990
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 2: going into the fourth quarter, now you're giving yourself a chance.

1991
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 2: But again for the Knicks, right now, Brunston is three

1992
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 2: for nine for the field seven points.

1993
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's struggling right now.

1994
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:16,639
Speaker 2: Now he has seven assist in this game. But they

1995
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 2: need bruntson scoring.

1996
01:49:17,960 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they do, and it's gonna come. I mean, NBA

1997
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 3: basketball is a game of runs. And the one thing

1998
01:49:24,360 --> 01:49:29,599
Speaker 3: I've noticed over the last fifteen plus years, there's no

1999
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 3: such sting as a big lead anymore, especially in today's NBA.

2000
01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:36,000
Speaker 3: There's no such twenty points. Now, I watched a Dallas

2001
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 3: Mavericks team come back from thirty one, you know, to

2002
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:44,519
Speaker 3: take the lead. So twenty thirty points is nothing because

2003
01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 3: of the three point shooting aspect.

2004
01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 2: So all right, so Pacers now with a seventeen point lead,

2005
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:52,640
Speaker 2: we'll keep our eye on that. One quick jump is

2006
01:49:53,040 --> 01:49:55,200
Speaker 2: people tuning in right now, old and want to get

2007
01:49:55,200 --> 01:49:58,639
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the matchup where the Nuggets despite getting

2008
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 2: blown out. It was the biggest blowout loss ever by

2009
01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:06,160
Speaker 2: a defending champion team in their Game six loss on

2010
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 2: the road against the tee Wolves. And yet the Nuggets

2011
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,680
Speaker 2: are healthy four and a half five point favorites at

2012
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:14,639
Speaker 2: home in Game seven.

2013
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, as they should be.

2014
01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 2: Well they should be, But will the final score reflect

2015
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:21,799
Speaker 2: the spread.

2016
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 3: They're gonna beat Minnesota whatever the points spread is.

2017
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:28,960
Speaker 2: They even if Jamal Murray is subpar.

2018
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:32,360
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray subpart at home as bad as Jamalburry subpart

2019
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. And that's what you gotta remember. Players play

2020
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 3: better at home for the most parts. And a championship

2021
01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 3: caliber team see the Knicks at home. But they're not

2022
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 3: a championship caliber team. They haven't won it yet. They

2023
01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 3: haven't won a championship Denver has, so they know what

2024
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:54,719
Speaker 3: to do. Malone's gonna make his adjustments. Guys are gonna

2025
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:56,759
Speaker 3: be raided to go. They slept in their own beds.

2026
01:50:56,760 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 3: They happy. Hey, we got a game seven. At the

2027
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 3: beginning of this series, no one was thinking that there

2028
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 3: would be a game seven or six or five, because

2029
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 3: they got annihilated at home the first two games, and

2030
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 3: we talked about it. Also, you're not gonna beat this

2031
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:20,599
Speaker 3: team three times in Denver. I'll put whatever anybody wants.

2032
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:23,599
Speaker 2: You can't see Ki walking off a loser tonight.

2033
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 3: No, No, not tonight, not at home. If this game

2034
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 3: was in Minnesota, then I'm then.

2035
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 2: Yesterday I went on the record saying that the Denver

2036
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:38,760
Speaker 2: Nuggets will win back to back NBA championships.

2037
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 3: I said that six months ago. Sit that on our.

2038
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:49,679
Speaker 2: Couple something, right, So you are one hundred percent certain

2039
01:51:49,720 --> 01:51:53,160
Speaker 2: that this Nuggets team, even though they've been really up

2040
01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 2: and down all season long, will ultimately prevail and hoist

2041
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,040
Speaker 2: yet another NBA championship.

2042
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 3: Yes, I do, and it was expected. You're gonna feel

2043
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:05,960
Speaker 3: that way because you know exactly what it see is.

2044
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 3: I drove down this road. I know exactly the turns

2045
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 3: that I need to make. I know which you know

2046
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 3: which stops to make. I know it now, and it's

2047
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:19,599
Speaker 3: the same thing all over again. I'm following the same path.

2048
01:52:20,400 --> 01:52:22,599
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who's in front of us. We know

2049
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 3: what to do and the rest of these teams don't.

2050
01:52:28,080 --> 01:52:31,679
Speaker 2: Justin Rose, there's a name from the past. Just dropped

2051
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 2: another Birdie Putts, So he's within three shots of the

2052
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 2: lead right now, Victor Hoblin just made a putties within

2053
01:52:38,960 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 2: two shots of the lead of Zenner shotflet one shot. Oh,

2054
01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 2: that was a birdie to get to seventeen.

2055
01:52:47,120 --> 01:52:48,879
Speaker 3: Victor Hoblin one of my favorites.

2056
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:51,280
Speaker 2: Wait a second, how many favorite golfers do you say?

2057
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:54,360
Speaker 3: Hey, man, I love good golf, man, I can have

2058
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 3: a multitude of them.

2059
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 2: Are you Justin Thomas fan?

2060
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:58,320
Speaker 3: Two times?

2061
01:52:58,360 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 2: He just dropped the birdie there on third.

2062
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:03,720
Speaker 3: I love JT. I love Justin Rose. Let me ask you,

2063
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:06,720
Speaker 3: I love Colin. I'm a I'm a fan of Shoftley.

2064
01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:10,200
Speaker 2: Are you a fan of Tiger Woods trying to resurrect

2065
01:53:10,200 --> 01:53:12,439
Speaker 2: his career? Did you see those two triple bogeys he

2066
01:53:12,479 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 2: had on Friday?

2067
01:53:15,120 --> 01:53:17,799
Speaker 3: Tiger's legend. Man, he doesn't need to play golf anymore.

2068
01:53:17,840 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 2: Thank you. Now you're speaking to what I say. One

2069
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:26,639
Speaker 2: he owes the game of golf, nothing, nothing, zero. I

2070
01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:29,760
Speaker 2: never felt like I don't want him to be a

2071
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,880
Speaker 2: ceremonial guy like you know people. Oh, I don't care

2072
01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,479
Speaker 2: if he's playing well. I just want to see Tiger well,

2073
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:38,840
Speaker 2: not on the course. That pains me to watch him

2074
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 2: on a course that they've been carving up and destroying

2075
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:45,639
Speaker 2: and he posts two triple bogies in a three hole span.

2076
01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 3: Steve the best wagon.

2077
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 2: Going shots out of the sand.

2078
01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:53,479
Speaker 3: I'm going to use this analogy and it applies because

2079
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:56,519
Speaker 3: there's a double ontandre with the word. You don't ever

2080
01:53:56,560 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 3: want to be the old man in the club. I'm

2081
01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 3: not going to be in a nightclub at sixty years old.

2082
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 3: You don't want to be the old man the club.

2083
01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:10,200
Speaker 3: Right now at the golf club, you don't. You know,

2084
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:13,360
Speaker 3: let these kids have it. They you know, you have

2085
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 3: the senior Tour if you want to continue play.

2086
01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:20,080
Speaker 2: You But you talked about competitive spirit. I mean there

2087
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 2: was no greater competitor.

2088
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:24,120
Speaker 3: Obviously they cut that away from They cut that out

2089
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 3: of them. Well after that, right out of him, right

2090
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 3: out of him, when he stood up there and apologized

2091
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:36,520
Speaker 3: and everything else, it was over. It was over. Yeah.

2092
01:54:36,520 --> 01:54:38,640
Speaker 3: He ended up winning a couple more tournaments and a

2093
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 3: major two, but it was old that that Tiger Woods

2094
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:44,480
Speaker 3: is gone. We have Eldrick.

2095
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:49,240
Speaker 2: Now, wow, I've never heard it said that way. All right,

2096
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 2: coming up on the other side, we'll continue to update

2109
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:35,480
Speaker 2: I I don't know what to say, Man, is this?

2110
01:55:35,920 --> 01:55:39,400
Speaker 2: Are we getting spoiled here? Consecutive weeks to see you again?

2111
01:55:39,520 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 2: I never know when it's I'm going to see someone

2112
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 2: next time, so I just say until next time. Well,

2113
01:55:46,480 --> 01:55:48,240
Speaker 2: I think I said that last week and then you

2114
01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:50,920
Speaker 2: showed up again. Yeah, this is probably it, Steve. Yeah,

2115
01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 2: I don't think we're doing a threepeat. In fact, I

2116
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 2: don't think you'll ever see me again. Oh that is

2117
01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:59,960
Speaker 2: not true. Bo hanging out? What's he doing these days?

2118
01:56:00,520 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's Uh, I don't I don't know, Well

2119
01:56:03,440 --> 01:56:06,000
Speaker 2: he needed, he told me. He told me very cleanly.

2120
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 2: It's like Chris, I I can't stand Steve. I need

2121
01:56:09,360 --> 01:56:12,400
Speaker 2: some time away. That's funny because he finally followed me

2122
01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 2: on Twitter, which the first or x first time in

2123
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 2: all these years, and I said, with the real account,

2124
01:56:19,480 --> 01:56:22,640
Speaker 2: not the burner account. You know, that's that's impressive, very impressive.

2125
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 2: So bo Benson on, all right, we're at halftime now

2126
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 2: with the Pacers leading the next seventy to fifty five.

2127
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 2: Seventy to fifty five. The Pacers shot seventy six percent

2128
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:37,360
Speaker 2: in the first half. How many times have you seen

2129
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 2: a team shoot on the road seventy six percent and

2130
01:56:41,200 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 2: a half.

2131
01:56:41,960 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 3: It's been a minute for me. Yeah, we might have

2132
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:48,120
Speaker 3: to go way way back to find that one. But

2133
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 3: you know, I told you, man, I appreciate OLG. I

2134
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 3: don't I'll be making the attempt. But come on, man,

2135
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 3: the Knicks can't be trying to pull that willis read thing.

2136
01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 2: Mane welly, we played the first five minutes and he

2137
01:56:59,080 --> 01:57:04,160
Speaker 2: hasn't been seeing that. Yeah, he played five minutes. He

2138
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:07,800
Speaker 2: made both shots. He threw up. The problem was defense

2139
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 2: and that sort of set the tone for the Knicks

2140
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:14,280
Speaker 2: defense for the rest of the half. Yeah, and it

2141
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:16,600
Speaker 2: got the pacers off and running and they have not

2142
01:57:16,720 --> 01:57:20,480
Speaker 2: slowed down a bit seventy six percent field goal percentage

2143
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 2: in the first half. Meanwhile, the PJA Golf Championship, Xander

2144
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:28,080
Speaker 2: Schaffle is on his way if he continues to play

2145
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:30,240
Speaker 2: like he's playing right now to win his first major

2146
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:33,919
Speaker 2: golf championship. Four under on the front nine, four birdies,

2147
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 2: five pars. He has a two shot lead Marikawa, who's

2148
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 2: playing with nine holes, nine pars. Oh, you've got to

2149
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 2: make the putts, and he is not making putts right now.

2150
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:47,960
Speaker 2: So Shaflet with a two shot lead over to Shambo

2151
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:50,080
Speaker 2: and Victor Hoplin and.

2152
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:51,960

Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm gonna be watching while I'm driving.

Speaker 2: Okay, I will be driving in a different direction then, Okay,

2157
01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:06,120

2158
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:07,160
Speaker 2: the other way.

2159
01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:08,360
Speaker 3: Hey man, I haven't.

2160
01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:09,760

01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:10,160
Speaker 3: You're going.

01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:11,879
Speaker 2: I'm heading to Phoenix.

01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:12,960
Speaker 3: It's hand held.

2164
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:18,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's up I know, and I can watch it. Everyone.

Speaker 3: Well, I glance, I have to follow you I'm gonna

2166
01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:22,600
Speaker 3: be more.

2167
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:25,080
Speaker 2: I gotta be following on my phone. In other words,

2168
01:58:25,120 --> 01:58:26,200
Speaker 2: I'll be sort of gauging.

2169
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 3: I'll be more listening. It's like when you're driving and

2170
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:30,960
Speaker 3: you gotta look for the directions. Same thing. I just

2171
01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 3: glanced to see what's happening. Yeah's an watching full movies.

2172
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:45,480
Speaker 2: Move Oh my, So are you pretty keen? Blowout? I mean,

2173
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:47,800
Speaker 2: I know we got people that want to wager on

2174
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,040
Speaker 2: this game between the Nuggets and Tea Wolves. Mentioned they

2175
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:52,680
Speaker 2: actually the line came down and opened it five and

2176
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 2: a half. There's a lot of money on the Tea Wolves,

2177
01:58:54,960 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 2: a lot of money. It's moving in the other direction.

2178
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,520
Speaker 2: Could you see a double digit victory for the Nuggets

2179
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 2: at home tonight?

2180
01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:03,920
Speaker 3: I can see a double digit victory for the Nuggets, Yes,

2181
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,640
Speaker 3: because it's gonna get you know, Sea Wolves are gonna

2182
01:59:06,640 --> 01:59:10,280
Speaker 3: come out hot, ready to play. Then Nuggets will settle

2183
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:12,880
Speaker 3: in and then they're gonna like pretty much run the

2184
01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 3: table and it's gonna end up being double figures because

2185
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:18,240
Speaker 3: at the end of the game, they're gonna have the

2186
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:21,120
Speaker 3: foul send people to the foul line. That's what you're

2187
01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:21,680
Speaker 3: gonna get it.

2188
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 2: But you do have Anthony Edwards. So I mean you

2189
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:30,360
Speaker 2: and I are in accord when we talk about superstar

2190
01:59:30,560 --> 01:59:34,200
Speaker 2: is a way overused term, and I'm not even saying

2191
01:59:34,240 --> 01:59:37,320
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is there yet. Because you gotta win championships.

2192
01:59:37,320 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 2: You got to you gotta be that guy. That is

2193
01:59:39,760 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 2: the difference in a team winning a championship, as Jokic

2194
01:59:43,120 --> 01:59:48,720
Speaker 2: proved last year. Yeah, as Jannis proved when he led

2195
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 2: the Bucks to an NBA championship. But you know he

2196
01:59:54,120 --> 01:59:56,160
Speaker 2: is capable. Edwards could go off.

2197
01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:00,320
Speaker 3: He can, but again, everybody else has to step up,

2198
02:00:00,520 --> 02:00:02,840
Speaker 3: and so that's going to be the key. You know,

2199
02:00:02,880 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 3: they made the shot. To me, the worst thing believe

2200
02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:09,400
Speaker 3: or that was them doing what they did to the Nuggets.

2201
02:00:09,760 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 3: They shot their load. They shot it at home. I

2202
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:18,120
Speaker 3: would have held on to something. They just emptied all

2203
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:20,840
Speaker 3: the cartridges. I don't think they're going to do the

2204
02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 3: same thing again tonight.

2205
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:25,400
Speaker 2: I know we didn't talk any NFL today. Oh were

2206
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:27,560
Speaker 2: you as Did you have a watch party when they

2207
02:00:27,560 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 2: announced the schedule?

2208
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 3: You know, we'll come to stop. I wish I would.

2209
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:36,200
Speaker 3: That's when I got thinking about getting in hospice.

2210
02:00:37,120 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 2: There are people that actually have watch parties. When they

2211
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:40,640
Speaker 2: announced the schedule.

2212
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:41,640
Speaker 3: Are you serious?

2213
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:45,640
Speaker 2: For the NFL? This is how I'm not kidding. They

2214
02:00:45,680 --> 02:00:49,440
Speaker 2: were people posting on social media watch parties to see

2215
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:52,160
Speaker 2: what win the games because you already knew who was

2216
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:54,880
Speaker 2: playing and where they were playing, just the dates of

2217
02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:55,480
Speaker 2: the games.

2218
02:00:55,800 --> 02:00:58,000
Speaker 3: That's a shame, man. People need to get out more.

2219
02:00:58,840 --> 02:01:00,840
Speaker 2: And of course one thing we're going to watches how

2220
02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:03,920
Speaker 2: the NFL remember when they used to give Christmas Day.

2221
02:01:04,040 --> 02:01:05,880
Speaker 2: Let me throw it at you. Here's what I would

2222
02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:09,320
Speaker 2: do real quick. The NBA season instead of October to

2223
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:16,600
Speaker 2: June should be December to August. NBA Finals in August,

2224
02:01:16,720 --> 02:01:22,040
Speaker 2: playoffs in August against Baseball. Would own it. Stay away

2225
02:01:22,080 --> 02:01:24,800
Speaker 2: from the NFL, NBA, keep it here. This is Fox

2226
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:25,680
Speaker 2: Sports Radio.
