00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 5: Okay, Basically, it's just a row of porter potties, right,

26
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 5: and you try to run across as fast as you

27
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 5: can and as quickly as you can.

28
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: But people are throwing throwing beer cans at you, right can,

29
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,800

37
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: E and t he got all types of free drinks

38
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: thrown at me, like opening is.

39
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Saving Private Ryan. Basically you were saying he looked like

40
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: he got a concussion, that that thing that beer exploded

41
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: on his head. So I just thought, in honor of

42
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: the one hundred and forty eighth Preak mistakes and the

43
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: porta potty run there, why don't you tweet us at

44
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: Martin Weiss, at Husky Ant at Fox Sports Radio with

45
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: the most ridiculous celebration in sports, Because that one right there,

46
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: I think I think might take the cake over Bill's

47
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: mafia with the flaming tables like WWE that might take

48
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: the cake again. But if you have one that's better

49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: or one that you'd like to submit, get us on

50
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Twitter now, VJ. I'd like to submit to you. Is

51
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 2: her The Boston Celtics are in trouble. Oh my goodness, gracious,

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: And you know what the thing is. So I'm sitting

53
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: there watching the game last night with my girlfriend, who

54
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: who is in and out of sports, right, Like she's

55
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: knowledgeable about sports, but she's not paying attention on a

56
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: day and day on basis. So she found out yesterday

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: that Joe Mazoula was thirty four, right, So like she

58
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: knew who he was, but that the age part, you know,

59
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: the emaate thing all that make her look at you differently.

60
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: No, but it was a type of situation where no,

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: but look, it was a type of situation where I

62
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm saying he's in over his head

63
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: and she's like, how can you say that he's the

64
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: same age as you? And I thought about it and

65
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, maybe if I was

66
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: hosting five days a week for four hours a day,

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: I'd be in over my head right now at this

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: point in time. Maybe I would need to call all

69
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: the time out or two to make sure that I

70
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 3: was putting myself in the best position to succeed. But

71
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: I mean, dorg, I know everybody wants to talk about

72
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: Grant Williams and him going face to face with Jimmy Butler,

73
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: and everybody wants to talk about Jason Tatum and him

74
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: not shooting in the fourth quarter or scoring in the

75
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 3: fourth quarter.

76
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: But dude, the overwhelming thing and me and Bucky Brooks

77
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: just talked about it as we were walking out. I

78
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: don't think I'm telling tales out of school. But with

79
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens, this team was in the Eastern Conference Finals,

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: dunking on the bron They lost, but still as a rookie.

81
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: As a rookie, Tatum is in there. Okay, that's that's

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: mid Kyrie whatever discourse, all right, Terry Rozier, he have

83
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: my favorite quotes in the NBA history.

84
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: He said, I went from the driver's seat to the trunk.

85
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. All of that goes on.

86
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: You know what they do boom Eastern Conference Finals Again,

87
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: Brad Stevens says, hey, you know what, I'm getting a

88
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: little stale here.

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: Let me move upstairs. E may you run what happens.

90
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: They break through, go to the finals, right up to one,

91
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: up to two, one up to one in the finals,

92
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: break through again with guys who and Tatum and Brown

93
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: are twenty six to twenty seven years old, well at

94
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: the time, even twenty four and twenty five years old. Okay. Now,

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: the thing about when Emay Udoka came to Boston and

96
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm not there, I'm not there to like read about.

97
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm reading all the reporting, but I'm not asking the questions, right,

98
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: so I'm in the position of just consuming the information

99
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: as it comes out. I was trying to figure out

100
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: what's the big difference between email Udoka and Brad Steven.

101
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: From what I could gather, it was that he had

102
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: no problem calling Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown and Marcus

103
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Smart a bunch of b words at all that I

104
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: mean legitimately, and I don't mean that to be funny,

105
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: like if you look. It was a level of he's

106
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 2: not afraid to quote get in us right, and I'm using,

107
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: you know, trying to be FCC appropriate all us out right.

108
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: He would call us out when you look at at

109
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: the press conferences. Now you see Joe Missoula, I shouldn't

110
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: say that. You see Jason Tatum, you see Marcus Smart.

111
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: It's interesting because they call him Joe in the postgame

112
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: press conference. They call him Joe, and he was never

113
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: supposed to be in this position. And I'm not saying

114
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: he can't figure it out. He can't.

115
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, Look, there's a long series ahead, right,

116
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: There's at least two more games that Miami has to

117
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: win before this thing is over. I'm not saying he.

118
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: Can't figure out. I'm not saying he can't improve. I'm

119
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: not saying he can't get better as.

120
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: He goes forward. But when you look at the Boston

121
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: Celtics and you see that emails out, Will Hardy is gone,

122
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: the number one assistant, the number two assistant is gone,

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: and now Joe Mizula is stepping in as the acting

124
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: head coach. It almost is like when you're like the presidency, right,

125
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: vice President, this next Speaker of the House, and then

126
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: we get into places where we're like her, but it's

127
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: just like wait, wait, wait, wait, we're going too far

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 2: down the line. So it'll be if the Celtics are

129
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: able to come out of here, it's gonna be because

130
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: they have more talent. But when you're looking at Spolstra,

131
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: who has been to like the conference championship game in

132
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: basketball almost as much as Bill Belichick has in football,

133
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: and we just don't look at him in the same

134
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: vision because of the titles. And he hasn't had the

135
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Brady type great player, right that's been there the whole time.

136
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: Obviously had Lebron for a moment, But we look at

137
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: those as you know, Sposter is not the guy getting

138
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: the credit for those rings in that way. But you

139
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: ever wonder what coaching does, what coaching is? This is

140
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: it right here, and we're seeing the difference. Call time

141
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: out Joe Mazoula.

142
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: Not only that, let's give a lot of credit. You

143
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: just mix mentioned him to Eric Spostra, who, for those

144
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: that don't know, started as a video coordinator assistant in

145
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety five.

146
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Okay, that is a long.

147
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: Time ago, in a long time to be with one franchise.

148
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: And right now, just as simply as I can say it,

149
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: in game one and Game two, he is masterfully, just plainly, completely.

150
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: Utterly out coaching Joe Missoula.

151
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: And this is what experience is in life, boys and girls,

152
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen out there. You experience is the best

153
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: teacher of life. You should be better at forty than

154
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: you were at twenty one. Your decision making should be better,

155
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: but when you were going when you're This is the

156
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: analogy I'll use. If you're thirty five and you're dating

157
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: a twenty three year old, you can't expect her to

158
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: make her or him to make the decisions that you

159
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: would be making because you've been through relationships. You've been

160
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: through the fire, you've been through the turmoil, You've been

161
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: through the trials and tribulations. They have not Look, she said, look, baby,

162
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: just maybe that next shot is a bad idea.

163
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: Baby, absolutely been hungover by you. You're new here.

164
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, this club you want to go to tonight with

165
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: your friends? Yeah, I used to go to that club

166
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: back in the day. You probably don't want to hang out.

167
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: Why don't you guys go just do a nice mimosa

168
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: bottomless momosa brunch tomorrow on Sunday in the daylight outside

169
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: against the water, where everybody can see everybody, and everything

170
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: is pretty much chill. I don't see a lot of fights.

171
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: A lot of ruck is breaking out at brushes. He

172
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: has he or she has the experience over you Spostra

173
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: is just out coaching this man up and down. Missoula's

174
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: not making adjustments, Missoula's not calling timeouse and you can

175
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: even hear the commentators.

176
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: Time and time and time and time again.

177
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: Why does it Jason Tatum touch the ball in these

178
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: last eight or nine possessions in the fourth quarter. When

179
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: you need a game, you gotta serve home court, you

180
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: gotta get a win. You don't want to go to

181
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 3: South Beach. And we already know what South Beach does.

182
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: The pro athletes gods get on podcasts and talk about it. Now,

183
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: retired players get on podcasts and talk about going to

184
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: South Beach to play and going to South Miami to

185
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: play in pro sports weather. It's baseball, football, basketball, and hockey.

186
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 3: It's a lot down there that could be distracted. Now

187
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: you think Boston would have it together and not get

188
00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: out of get distracted.

189
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: But ever know.

190
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, we're talking about Missoula.

191
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: Let's talk more about Eric Spostra and what this man

192
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: has done. And I think that it's a travesty that

193
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: he doesn't get more credit for the four finals that

194
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: he went to with Braun and Wade and Bosh and

195
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: that's supporting cast of all those veterans that they signed

196
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: to low contracts that wanted to win a championship.

197
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: He should get credit for that. But guess what all.

198
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: He's done since that cast has left is keep them competitive,

199
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: whether they're the two, whether they're a seven, or whether

200
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: they're in a eight. We are still watching the Miami

201
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

202
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: What is this? Three out of the last.

203
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: Four years and four years ago, if you'd have looked

204
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: at their roster and somebody would have told you to

205
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: put a bet on you, to put you to throw

206
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: your money up, you'd have gathered money from friends to

207
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 3: try to make this man what they're gonna go to?

208
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: Three out of four ee cfs. No, there's no way

209
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: in hell. Yeah yeah, opt. I'll take that back, Eric

210
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: sposter Man, and we'll get into Jimmy Buckets.

211
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: But he's just being out coach.

212
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: And you also can see the young mindedness of the

213
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: Boston Celtic player because you and I talked about coverage

214
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: just one time on an episode about.

215
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: Football, and this is what was called VJ, so they

216
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: got to follows.

217
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: I said, I get that, bro, But when you a

218
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: vet on defense and you know that call is.

219
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: Wrong as far as the secondary's concerned.

220
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: Bro, I'm going over here to the number one receiver

221
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: that's been tearing our ass up all damn sorry, coach,

222
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 3: but just let me use my instinct on this one

223
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: right here. If you're one of the Boston Celtic players,

224
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: it's almost like you said, they call them Joe, So

225
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 3: it's almost like a friendship there.

226
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: But see, I go ahead and go make your point

227
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: before I cut you off.

228
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: With a kind of not So it's not a lack

229
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: of respect, but they don't have the superior coaching respect

230
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: to say, hey, coach, how about this, how about that,

231
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 3: let's try this, let's try that.

232
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: They're just going along and I think whatever he said,

233
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: I think there's a level of you know what, like

234
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: there's a level of no one wants to step on

235
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: each other's toes. Yeah, right, Like just this season, jim

236
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: Er supposed to turn to Jimmy Butler in the time

237
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: out and said, are you no, he's not in an ass?

238
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: He said, you're freaking crazy, you know what I'm saying?

239
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: Who was your mother? They were arguing to the point

240
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: like Sposter looked at him and said, look, yo, do

241
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: you think I'm going to fight you, you know what

242
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: I'm saying. And obviously, obviously, like you know, that's not

243
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 2: probably the most efficient way to communicate. You know, it

244
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 2: might be for them, but I'm just saying in general, like,

245
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: in general, that though the most efficient way you could communicate.

246
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: But I think it speaks to a further level of

247
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: we are so comfortable with one another that we can

248
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: get to this point knowing that this is not going

249
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: to cause a rift down the line, right, We can

250
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: get to this point knowing that we both have the

251
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: same goals, and if when we're both have the same goals,

252
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: even if you don't like the way that I talk

253
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: to you, are you got upset with this or that?

254
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, we know that we

255
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: are both in person shoot of winning. And I'm not

256
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: trying to say that the Boston Celtics are not. However,

257
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: when you talk about heat culture and all that, I

258
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: kind of take all that for granted, right, But there's

259
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: something to be said about everybody being on the same mission,

260
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: everybody having the same goal, right, like, and that how

261
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: that's how you really truly develop the next man up mentality, right,

262
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: because you've always been ready.

263
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 3: And you heard Sportial say to say last night, he's

264
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: sick of this narrative of his undrafted guys, Like he

265
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 3: really spoke up for his guys, guys, let it go.

266
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: Such and such has been with us for three years.

267
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: He was with us in the bubble four years ago. This,

268
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: I'm tired of this narrative. These guys have earned their spot.

269
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 3: And I felt him because I think that's what we

270
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 3: all normally do. Oh, he was an undrafted rookie. He's

271
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: an undrafted this, he's an undrafted debt. But at a

272
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: time when I'm stealing the lead, five, six, seven years

273
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: down a long bro that undrafted thing don't matter. I

274
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: ball a ball, Okay, So give me take that, take

275
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: that title, take that title.

276
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: Off of me. Like, guys, here the run. We were

277
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 2: feeling right when we first start. We ain't feelings. No

278
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: more weird thing is about then. So I was thinking

279
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: about this during the draft lottery. If you just go

280
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: back on Wikipedia and look at the last you know,

281
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: five ten drafts, depending like after rookie years and about

282
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: half of the league, that is, about half of the

283
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: rookies wash out. Yeah, you know they wash out of

284
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: the league and are no longer in you know, saying

285
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: like four years ay gone, That's what I'm saying when

286
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: it makes sense, right, It's not like the WNBA where

287
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: you can get drafted in the first round and then

288
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: cut the twenty four months later. Like that's there's the reality.

289
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: It's there's not enough spaces. But in the in the

290
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: in the NBA, there's enough space where if you're Anthony Bennett,

291
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: they're gonna keep you on the rafter for two or

292
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 2: three years.

293
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: Just to see, just to see, just to see see

294
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 3: if you got it, just to see if you got it.

295
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: And how many of those guys wash out. What Miami has.

296
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: Done, they have identified some quality in their players that

297
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: is either undervalued or other teams are unable to quantify,

298
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: because otherwise they would be drafting these players. And because

299
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: they know, you know, they we talk about all the

300
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 2: time in the NFL, how can you draft a running

301
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: back at ten?

302
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: You could get that same guy in the third round.

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: He's like, well, they know that. Hey, you know what,

304
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: I might have something you don't. I might be able

305
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: to get Duncan Robinson as an undrafted free agent out

306
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: of here and.

307
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: Use this pick to help me to help.

308
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 3: Acquire a Jimmy Butler, or acquire Kyle Lowry, or acquire

309
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: the type of veteran that we already know fits into

310
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: our system.

311
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: It's something that in today's NBA, where everybody plays the

312
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: same style, everybody is playing math, It's something that is

313
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: not only refreshing but Awesomeess say, also, you.

314
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: Just mentioned Duncan Robinson, a guy that was out of

315
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: the rotation. This man was out of the rotation, but

316
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: when this number was called, he was ready, and he

317
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 3: has been ready and he is killing Boston. That tells

318
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: you ab out the culture there in the head coach

319
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,119
Speaker 3: Dan Eric Pross.

320
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: That you don't have that in Joe Mazzula in Boston Celtics.

321
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: And we'll talk. We'll talk about a guy who's out

322
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: of their rotation for Boston coming up next. But I

323
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: do want to say congratulations to National Treasurer and Bob

324

Speaker 2: Martin Vja coming to you liar from Thetirach dot com studios,

351
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: talking about the Eastern Conference Finals Game two that we

352
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: saw yesterday. We will get into the Western Conference Finals

353
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Game three, which is quickly approaching in a moment. But

354
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: I got I got a little bit of beef with

355
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: the current conversation. Okay, all right, beef is good. Let's go.

356
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: So look, it was a good show on Netflix too.

357
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: In about ten years, you'll get to it.

358
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 2: Just recently came out. Anyway, everybody wants to come out

359
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 2: here and talk about Grant Williams talking mess to Jimmy

360
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: Butler right getting in his face, and then Jimmy Butler

361
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: coming down and you know, essentially doing what he's done

362
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: all postseason and just ripping folks his heart out. I

363
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: would just like to remind people in the first round,

364
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 2: he had an MVP candidate the Miami, he had an

365
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: MVP candidate shaking in his boots to the point that

366
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: he tried to throw the ball out of bounds. All right,

367
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: took care of the you know, the New York Knicks

368
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: ruff and Tumble Knicks that we talked about, like how

369
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: much we love how they were the big tough guys,

370
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: went out there and was the bullies to the bully.

371
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 2: Y'all think that Grant Williams, y'all think that Grant Williams

372
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: was the energy that started this whole thing up. And

373
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: look I get it in that, Like, you know, we

374
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: just saw Dylan Brooks and how he was coming at Lebron. Okay,

375
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: there's two things. One, Lebron is in his twentieth year

376
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: of being a top five player in the league. Okay,

377
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: so the track record Lebron's career can vote, all right,

378
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler hasn't had that same level of like think

379
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: about that, Like he hasn't. Lebron's career can almost legally

380
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: drink at this point if you like, think about that,

381
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: all right, it's a little bit of a more established,

382
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: uh situation. Dylan Brooks is not nearly look grand William

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: Dylon Brooks I think comparable, right, I know, Dylan Brooks

384
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: starts who Dylan Brooks probably overall, really I think so.

385
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: But I also have though I also have thought that,

386
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: you know, to Joe Miszula's point, I mean, to my

387
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: point in Joe Missoula, why is Grant william stateful to

388
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: the bench? Have you not seen what he's done to

389
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 2: bam Adebayo in the last couple of times he's been

390
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 2: out there and it's good to see him out there.

391
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: But everybody want to talk about Grant Williams poking the bear.

392
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: We'll get into this with Medeena in a minute, Mark

393
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: Madea and Fox Sports Radio Insider.

394
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: The Celtics are supposed to be the bear. The Celtics

395
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: are the one with the two times.

396
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Look. The Celtics are the ones that start two All Stars.

397
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: The Celtics are the one that start last year's defensive

398
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: Player of the Year. The Celtics are the ones that

399
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: were in the finals last year and had, like you said,

400
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: Golden stayed up down two one. The Celtics are the

401
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 2: one that had the best start to the regular season

402
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: this year. The Celtics are the one that did not

403
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 2: have to come back and the play in tournament. The

404
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: Celtics have been the pre eminent favorite to win the

405
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference since Milwaukee went out, and it depends on

406
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: who you talk to. Might have been a favorite with

407
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: Milwaukee in there, It could have been depends up on

408
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: who you ask. I tell you this about the Celtics, though,

409
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: this is why I'm gonna disagree with that. I've been

410
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: questioning the Celtics all year long, all year long. Mark

411
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: mcdane asks the question I definitely got for him. When

412
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: we get our good buddy, Mark on it. You and

413
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 2: I've talked about it on here. Good team, you know,

414
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: good team.

415
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: You know we're gonna win fifty games, gonna you know,

416
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 3: gonna gonna call some for some team's.

417
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: Gonna knock some guys out.

418
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: I just look at this team and if you ask me, VJ,

419
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: can they win a championship? I've been saying for like

420
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: three to four years.

421
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: No.

422
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 3: I was on the odd couple maybe three four years

423
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 3: ago with Chris Brussard.

424
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: He went off on me. I told him, I said

425
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: their windows closed. What VJ? How could you say? I

426
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: think their window closed? It really did.

427
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: They their best chance, in my opinion, of winning a championship,

428
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: even though they got to the finals last year, as

429
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: you said, was Game seven in the Eastern Conference Finals

430
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 3: when Jason Tatum.

431
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: Was just a rookie.

432
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: They're up in that game, they have no Kyrie, They're

433
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 3: beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in that game, and then they

434
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 3: just fumbled it. Brad Stevens as a coach, just like

435
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: Joe mazzulzdo right now, he just fumbled it. Down to stretch,

436
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: and I just look at the landscape of the NBA

437
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: and I just say, I just don't think this team

438
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: can win a championship. I understand where they were, they

439
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: were the number two seed for most of the season,

440
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 3: and he's the conference. And I remember asking Mark Medina

441
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: about this some a few weeks ago, do you really

442
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: believe in them as far as them winning a championship?

443
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: So if you're telling me that they're the Bear, I

444
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: gotta disagree there. Man, the bear's Jimmy Bucketts Butler, he's

445
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: the Bear. They're the Boston Celtics. Their team, in my opinion,

446
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 3: they talk a lot. They're a lot like Memphis, but

447
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: I think they're more likable and they have a bigger

448
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: brand and they have a way bigger fan base than

449
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies do, and I think that's why we push

450
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: back at the Grizzlies. But you just used the comparison

451
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: of Dylan Brooks and Grant Williams. They kind of have

452
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: some of the same players. Marcus Smart I trashed last

453
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: year for winning Defensive Player of the Year because I

454
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 3: felt like he flopped to a defensive Player of the

455
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 3: Year award, and everybody call your a hater. You don't

456
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: know what you're talking about. You don't know sports. He

457
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: didn't even make an All Defensive team this year. I

458
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: would love to look up a defensive Player of the

459
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: Year who didn't make an All Defensive team the following year. Guys,

460
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 3: somebody please pull that up and show me the stat

461
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: on that. So when you just look around this team,

462
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: there's questions about where they were gonna trade Jalen Brown,

463
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: where they're gonna break this team up. You can't be

464
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 3: the bear man when you have all these question marks

465
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: and you have all this stuff going on in the bet.

466
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 3: Like you said, Grant Williams a staple to the bitch,

467
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: but when he's in, he provides a spark plug. He's

468
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: a much better shooter in my opinion than Dylan Brooks.

469
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: But the other night, you even with nine points, he's

470
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: still engaged. He's still in Jimmy Butler's face and just

471
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: on that real quick bro that I love. I hated

472
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: the fact they got double technicals. The rest knew nothing

473
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 3: was gonna pop off, and nobody rushed in and try

474
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: to break it up. They let those two grown men

475
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: fighting to get to the finals four head to foreheaded

476
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: reminded me of Michael Jordan Xavier McDaniel in Game seven

477
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 3: and nineteen ninety three. If you guys remember that, that's

478
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 3: that's basketball guy. It's okay to let grown men be

479
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 3: emotional and passionate in sports. I hated the double technical,

480
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: but I love the spark that he tried to give

481
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 3: his team because he's not getting it from the two stars.

482
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: That's my point. That is my point, like he's not.

483
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: Getting it from tat So like the difference between Dylan

484
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: Brooks and Grant Williams. It's very much like when Joe

485
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: Ellenbi had his hands on his knees and PJ.

486
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: Tucker is going in his ear. That's the difference, like

487
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 2: you know, And it's just what Grant willim and then

488
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: he went out there and got the layout. He's out

489
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: there competing like I can. I respect that and appreciate

490
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: it very much. So Fox Sports Radio NBA insider Mark

Speaker 6: The Saga step sounding like one Jason Tatum here. It'd

494
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: be nice if he actually hit one field goal in

495
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 6: a fourth.

496
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,840

497
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,640

498
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,320

544
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: Back to you, thanks Steve Martin and VJ. Coming to

545
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 2: you a lot from the tirerack dot Com studios and

546
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: without further ado, let's get him in here. The Man,

547
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: the Myth, the Legend. Mark Ladina, Fox Sports Radio Insider.

548
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: You can get him at Twitter at Mark g Underscore

549
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: Medina and Mark, I gotta ask you man. I read

550
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: this profile today the other day at Joe Miszoulu. Apparently

551
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: this guy's watching the Town two three times a week.

552
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: Does his remote have a pause button because he seems

553
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: to not understand that you can call time out.

554
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very good point. It seems like that

555
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 5: he's really taken the Phil Jackson philosophy of letting players

556
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 5: figure figure it out on the fur their own a

557
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: little too literally. I know that Phil had done that

558
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 5: during his accomplished coaching tenure, but I think that you

559
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 5: also have to know when to use it, and unfortunately

560
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 5: he hasn't used it when it seems like they needed

561
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 5: them the most, when the seat or you know, the

562
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 5: Sixers went on a momentum swing.

563
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 2: Cause there so I just said to VJ Mark just

564
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: a second ago, having two Hall of Famers on the

565
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: court is not a coaching strategy, right like it worked

566
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: out for Phil Jackson because he had two Hall of

567
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: Famers on the court, you might get in the way

568
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown Marcus Smart necessarily they ain't

569
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 2: there yet. Is that kind of like what are we

570
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: doing here?

571
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. I mean there's always a middle

572
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 5: grand I think in Phil's case, you know, there's times,

573
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 5: you know, some of his former players that were role players,

574
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 5: like Steve Kerr or Luke Walton, they said that that

575
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 5: really taught them to be very more accountable with themselves

576
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 5: and also a little bit more empowered and more confident

577
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 5: that they you know, Phil showed confidence in them as

578
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 5: they can figure it out. But I think to your

579
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 5: creator point, I'm with you. One hundred percent that Joe

580
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 5: Mizzula has needed to call timeouts a lot more often

581
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 5: in this series because these have been huge momentum swings

582
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 5: and clearly his thought of just letting guys try to

583
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 5: figure out on their own, they haven't shown that they

584
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 5: can figure out and own. So that's where coaching needs

585
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: to go into play. And I think it's one of

586
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 5: those things of a first year head coach trying to

587
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 5: figure it out.

588
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 2: What's good? Mark Mdean, how you doing, Buddy Visa?

589
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 5: I'm good man. That Lakers Nuggets Game three tonight should

590
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 5: be fun.

591
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute.

592
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 3: I want to stay on Missoula because we are seeing

593
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: a trend of coach just being dismissed from their jobs

594
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: that people don't think should be dismissed from their job.

595
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: And you know, other than Doc Rivers, I think he

596
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: was a guy that people thought that if he lost

597
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: that Game seven, they were probably gonna fire him because

598
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 3: the track record is what it is. Any if they

599
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: let's say that heat sweet the Celtics, which I think

600
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: they're going to, I'm I picked them to sweetest.

601
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: Now.

602
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: I don't think the Celtics get neither one of these

603
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: games at South Beach, do you then now start to

604
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: look around for another coach, a more experienced guy. I

605
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 3: know the guy because let's get real, Joe Mizzoula, he's

606
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: not supposed to be here. He got this job because

607
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: of the whole incident we he made Docal. You see,

608
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: he's already got another job. He's the now the head

609
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: front man in Houston. So obviously somebody thinks that guy

610
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 3: could coach. But is there any chance that you think

611
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: that it's something that's discussed and visited that we might

612
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: need to go get a veteran coach for this young guy.

613
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: Well, look to your point that there's been a lot

614
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 5: of coaching firings, and you know just the way that

615
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 5: really bad performances have led to that. You never say that,

616
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 5: ar I want to now any ownership group feeling embarrassed

617
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: with a very terrible loss to end the season. But

618
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 5: I think in Joe Mizzola's case, even if they get

619
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 5: swept or they lose in the Eastern Conference finals, I

620
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 5: don't think he'll be let go just simply because it's

621
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: his first season and that he as much as he

622
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: had a lot of great talent and continuity, he didn't

623
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 5: have that full off season to get ready for the

624
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: new position. But what I think it will do is

625
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 5: that it would put him on thin ice for the

626
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 5: beginning of next season. If they get off to a

627
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 5: slow start, or even a respectable start but not as

628
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 5: accomplished as this team should be, then don't be surprised

629
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 5: if there's an early in season coaching change. Look, you

630
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 5: can never rule out anything of today's NBA, especially these

631
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 5: last few weeks, because there's just been so many coaches

632
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 5: that have been let go, even ones that you think

633
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 5: want to get the acts have gone. So I want

634
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 5: to be surprised if I had to put money on him. Thankfully,

635
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 5: I don't I think that he would last through this season,

636
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 5: but that have cheap your eyes open for how things

637
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 5: play out early next season.

638
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: Moving on from Missoula, who is kind of aggressive in

639
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: his postgame press conferences, I don't know he really wants

640
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: to know if you are aware of the adjustments that

641
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: he may or may not have made when he wins

642
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: to a guy and Michael Malone, who is apparently watching

643
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: the a block of first Taken Undisputed every day and

644
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: he is locked in to the cable Sports talk discourse mark.

645
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 3: To me, it seems that Michael Malone is going in.

646
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: To the postgame press conferences, pregame press conferences every time

647
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: that guys like you are sticking microphones in his face.

648
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: That Michael Malone is saying everything that Dylan Brooks and

649
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 2: Grant Williams is saying, but he's saying it for his

650
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: team instead of having players on these teams say it themselves.

651
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 5: Like I think it's a really good way to put it,

652
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 5: and I think that he's also doing in a much

653
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 5: more polished way than Dylan Brooks ever could look I

654
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 5: was that, you know, I'm att Lakers Nuggets tonight. He

655
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 5: was a lot more toned down before the game. But

656
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: I know, knowing him over the years, it seems like

657
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: he really uses those things to try to motivate his team.

658
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 5: And I think exaggerate a little bit now. If you're

659
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: just looking at first take, I'm sure a lot of

660
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: the conversation was on the Lakers as opposed to the Nuggets.

661
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: That's just the inevitable part of when you have a

662
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 5: team at a high profile in a big market with

663
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 5: Lebron James. But if you looked at all the coverage,

664
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 5: there were so many stories about how great Nikola Jokic

665
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 5: was in Game one that his whole idea that they

666
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 5: weren't gaining enough respect is grossly and accurate. But I

667
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 5: think that he's just trying to keep Hits players motivated,

668
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 5: make it feel like, hey, he's fighting for us and

669
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: keep us on edge, and don't need that in Game three,

670
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 5: because I think the Lakers are really treating this as

671
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: a must win situation. I think for a few reasons. One,

672
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 5: they're down oh two Mathematically, there's not a lot of

673
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 5: teams that can overcome a oh two deficit. They're definitely

674
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: zero teams that have ever overcomeing H three deficits, So

675
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 5: you know they're going to have their hands tied to

676
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 5: Diyan shrivia foot one.

677
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: I don't like using excuses in sports, Mark. I mean,

678
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 3: there's wins and losses, and that's just how it goes

679
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, who won and who lost.

680
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: But when you do look at the Lakers playoff push,

681
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: they did take on the Memphis team that now that

682
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 3: we see John Moran is still kind of doing his thing,

683
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: he openly admitted that he was a reason why they

684
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 3: were They weren't too focused and it probably did affect

685
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: his team.

686
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: No, Steven Adams, add other players that were out, and then.

687
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: You get the Golden State Warriors, who were much like

688
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers.

689
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: They were just up and down all year long. They

690
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: were my team.

691
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: They were my pick to come out of the West

692
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: because I thought that if once they got together, they

693
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: can they could keep it together. I didn't know Clay

694
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: would go nine for forty two from three point range

695
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: over other than the thirty point game that he had.

696
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: But then now you watch them against the different Nuggets.

697
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: That are hole and that I honestly think are just

698
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: the better basketball team. I'm taking a five and a

699
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: half the night with the Nuggets. I just think they're

700
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: better than the Lakers in a forty point Anthony Davis

701
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 3: game couldn't even get them a DUB. I think they

702
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: win tonight, and I think the Lakers would be in

703
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: trouble of being swept take away to two. Oh right now, though,

704
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: who's the better team that you've seen as far as

705
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: the eye test is concerned.

706
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 5: Oh, the Denver Nuggets, without a doubt. I mean, so far,

707
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: Nikoliokaj Jamal Murray have outplayed the Lakers duos and Lebron

708
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: James and Anthony Davis. And while I think that the

709
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 5: Lakers are certainly deserving to get to this stage because

710
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 5: prior to this series, Lebron Adia played well. They played

711
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 5: well as a team with their role players having big

712
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 5: knights at certain parts, there's no doubt about it. You

713
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 5: hit the nail on the head that the Denver Nuggets

714
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 5: are just a significantly better team than the Memphis Grizzlies

715
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 5: than the Golden State Warriors, for you know, just their

716
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: talent top to bottom, their continuity, their chemistry. I think

717
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 5: the other thing that hasn't gone to the lakers favor

718
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 5: is that it seems like the attrition has continued to

719
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 5: catch up to the Lakers, most notably to Lebron and

720
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 5: ad where Lebron and a D so far they had

721
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 5: played much more effectively the first two playoff series than

722
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 5: they have so far in the Western Conference Finals. So

723
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 5: maybe that goes back their way. With Game three be

724
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 5: in front of home crowd, I'm sure Jack Nicholson will

725
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 5: be there, But the reality is, it just seems like

726
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 5: that the physical nature of the playoffs, them playing every

727
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: other day, it's kind of the point where they just

728
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 5: really seem exhausted on the court.

729
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know I saw Lebron at that moment he

730
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: twisted his ankle, went down, tied his shoe, and then

731
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: just for good measure, tied his other shoes. It's the

732
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: double check get out. But you know what, I'm sure

733
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 2: Mark Medina's shoes will be tied today at Lakers and Nuggets. Madana,

734
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: do me a favor, my friend, ask ask ask Michael

735
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: Malone what he would like us to talk about on

736
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: Monday shows in his postgame press conference. But I'm sure

737
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 2: you'll bring it. And thanks for joining the show today,

738
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: my guy, Well, real.

739
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 5: Quick, I'll ask him that. But you know what, I

740
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 5: might be one of those media people that decide to

741
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 5: go to the Lakers press conference and.

742
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,560

00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,720

00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: the flame. We'll get into that next Fox Sports Radio.

746
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: Martin VJ coming to your life from the Tirack dot

748
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: look a fast and too fast, too furious. That's all

749
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: I hear, and all I see is Paul Walker and

750
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 2: Tyree's driving fast when I see this, But no VJ.

751
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: Eric Spolstrop, who h has put together quite the resume

752
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: in terms of his coaching, in terms of his coaching career,

753
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 2: and is what the what is it now? Probably fifteen

754
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 2: years he's been coaching.

755
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 3: In the NBA Top fifteen Coach, he was voted Yeah,

756
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 3: I mean, and I mean, look argue with the stats,

757
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: not with me.

758
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: Martin VJ coming to your Live from the Tirack dot

759
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: com studios. But he said something the other day that

760
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: made me really interesting. I maybe really interested rather because

761
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: we had this discussion about the play in tournament as

762
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: the NBA season was winding down, and I said, I

763
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 2: loved it. This is part of the reason why.

764
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 8: I do know the play and health like they were

765
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 8: far less teams tanking. Everybody was fighting for it those

766
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 8: last two months. Every game was must see TV and

767
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 8: that was at both compeases. So I think the league

768
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 8: that's probably the best thing that's happened in the last decade.

769
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 9: It was a blessing to be able to go through

770
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 9: all of that. I have not been a part of

771
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 9: the regular season like that, and I think loll crew

772
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 9: got better from it to not let it collapse our

773
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 9: spirit but really just harden us and steal us and

774
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 9: bring us closer together and develop that kind of grit

775
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 9: and perseverance that's needed in the postseason.

776
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: So I agree wholeheartedly was bo and that the play

777
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: in tournament was was rock solid.

778
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: It was a blast to watch. And then also the

779
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: jockeying for position from five to eight. Remember will the

780
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: Lakers even make it now they're in the Western Conference finals.

781
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 2: That was fun. But there's been stories now from the

782
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: GM summit and with the lottery, and we'll get into

783
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: the draft lottery at the in the next hour, but

784
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: from the GM summit, how to make the top seeds

785
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: be more engaged towards the end of the season. Right,

786
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: Miami obviously was an eight, a made to play in

787
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: as the eight. Right, we're fighting in that moment and

788
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: they were locked in. But a team like for example, Denver, Sacramento,

789
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 2: the two that come to mind initially had nowherey sitting

790
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: guys down the stretch, had no worry about getting in

791
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: and so on. They alleged it's been floated around per Zachlo,

792
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: the one, two, and three seeds, the ability to pick

793
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,479
Speaker 2: their opponent in the first round. What do you think,

794
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and that would help incentivize Will it have

795
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 2: incentivized now if you're Denver, for are your Sacramento, who

796
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: for the most of the season was in the two spot,

797
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: and then drop that the Memphis eclipsed them right down

798
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: the stretch. Well, if you get second pick or third pick,

799
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 2: that could make a pretty big difference in who you

800
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: want to play.

801
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: Well, I thought we saw that more from the lower

802
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 3: seed team saying, hey, yeah, we wouldn't mind matching up

803
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 3: against a Cleveland or matching up against a Sacramento. They

804
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 3: wanted to get to the seventh spot. Let's say, for instance,

805
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: and the or the threes are the sixth spot in

806
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 3: the Western Conference, So you feel much better playing Sacramento

807
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: than you do playing Memphis. But back to Sposial really

808
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: quick and his comments. Number One, I don't like the

809
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: play in. I've never liked the play in. The games

810
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 3: were okay, I didn't I didn't think they were super great,

811
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: but there they were cool as basketball sports. I'm sitting

812
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: and watch them. We got to come in here and

813
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: talk about it and do our shows and all that

814
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: good stuff. But I just still like the old format

815
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: of listen, first eight, get in. If you can't get

816
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: in non ten, you don't get a shot again it.

817
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: But I think what Spotsa was doing here, and it's

818
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: just another feather in his cap. He's being a great

819
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 3: ambassador for the game. Why would he come out and go, yeah,

820
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: I'm well, you know, hey, we didn't have to play

821
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 3: the play and if it wasn't there, than fine, we

822
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 3: can just fight for the A C.

823
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: You can't say that.

824
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 3: I thought he was being a good ambassador, great ambassador

825
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: for the game, so I got no beef with it.

826
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: But I'm not a playing guy. But as far as

827
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: you know top teams wanting to play or trying to

828
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: pick your opponent for lower seeds, I'm of the the

829
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: opinion of when you're one or two seed, you got

830
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: a greatness about you. You don't give a damn who

831
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 3: you play. Oh you're seven in an eight, in a

832
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 3: nine and a ten. Fight for a reason? Way scared

833
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: to you all. Give us the ag give us the nine,

834
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 3: give us I don't care who gets it. Give us Minnesota.

835
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: I don't care we played Minnesota or we play the Pelicans,

836
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 3: or are we play the Lake?

837
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: I don't care, you know, come on in.

838
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 3: Like, I think the top teams, at least in my eyes,

839
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: would have more of that opinion of I don't care

840
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: who it is. I think the lower seeds were Okay,

841
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 3: we gotta gotta we gotta go on the road the

842
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 3: first two. I much rather go into Sacramento, a young

843
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: team that's just had a you know, comeback season type thing.

844
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, obviously teams jockey for position. But again,

845
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: the reason why the playoff is exceptional is because it

846
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: makes the end of the season matter, Right, If you're

847
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 2: the way you're talking about, is it in Dallas? Well no,

848
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: that's part of the no. To the point, that's part

849
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: of the reason why we came in here and talked

850
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: about how it was a joke that Dallas had an

851
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: opportunity to make the playoffs in a postseason in which,

852
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: mind you, the seventh seed is one of the last

853
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: two teams remaining in the Western Conference and the eighth

854
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 2: seed is one of the last two teams remaining in

855
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. So therefore, by definition, you would have

856
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: had a shot. But yeah, I got punting in the rack. Anyway,

857
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: we'll get into that second. I mean that seventh seed

858
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: coming up, the Lakers and the Nuggets up next.

869
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: Nicola Jokicic the cut of them entering into Crypto dot

870
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 2: com arena. Lebron's been there about four and a half

871
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: hours before tip as. I saw Mark Medina actually Fox

872
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: Sports Radio regular tweeting out video. You know, Mark Madeena

873
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 2: was there as well. If there's a Lakers game to cover,

874
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: you know what, man, it's all over it. However, we

875
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: have Lebron in there, a uh Nicola Jokics in there,

876
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: and Jokics right now. So most of the time when

877
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: you're doing historical.

878
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: NBA stats, you do everybody except Will right it's like, oh,

879
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 3: he's got he's got.

880
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 2: Oh, this is uh, you know, the highest scoring game

881
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: except will You know what I'm saying, It's like, this

882
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 2: is the most rebuilds the game except we will right,

883
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: so like game except well right right? So a lot,

884
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: because a lot of because Wilt Chamberlain's numbers are so

885
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: so astronomical that it's not it's almost not worth having

886
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 2: the discussion unless you exclude him, right. Nicola Joki just

887
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: has seven triple doubles this postseason, tied for the most

888
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: with one Will Chamberlin.

889
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 3: Man and Will did in nineteen sixty seven. So that's

890
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 3: how long it's been. And think about magic Lebron like

891
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 3: triple double machines right that have played a lot of

892
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 3: postseason basketball, and he's just tied Wilt Chamberlain.

893
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 2: Stay by how many postseason games Jason Kidd played? This

894
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: another one? You know what I'm saying? And two, yo, Kic,

895
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 2: I probably run faster than him and jump higher than him.

896
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 2: You do you know what I'm saying? Like you being realistic?

897
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: You know, I even though this guy's an NBA player,

898
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't mean any slight. I just

899
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: I say this to say, in a league and with athleticism, yes,

900
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 2: you will cross the finish line more often than not.

901
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 2: Yo could just devoid of that.

902
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 3: If Yo kicch wins an NBA championship this year, and

903
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: I know it's only gonna be one ring, but I'm

904
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: ready to go out on a limb and give him

905
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 3: a title in today's era that I think is very

906
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 3: well deserved. By his numbers, by his impact, by his

907
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: plus minus, just everything the man has done on the court.

908
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 3: It's time to stop ques, It's time to start excuse me, questions,

909
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 3: stop questioning Yokic. Like that's over, guys, Like, no more questions.

910
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 3: He wins a championship, he's got the two MVPs. You

911
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 3: would think they were probably adding his team. Murray's still young.

912
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dub him this airs Larry Bird. He's this

913
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 3: Heirs Larry Bird. Larry Bird was the white guy that

914
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: actually would get offended if you put a white guy

915
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: on him, like he there's the magic.

916
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 2: Johnson tell the story.

917
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 3: He tells the magic, and Magic tells the story where

918
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 3: he's he's pissed off in the game and he's talking

919
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,919
Speaker 3: trash and he walks over the magic. He goes, yeah,

920
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: I'm mad. I'm I'm hopping mad at you guys. You

921
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 3: guys put a white guy on me. Egg Bro, that's

922
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 3: that's that's Gohners right there. That that's Peaches right there.

923
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 3: I had that type of if you're Yokic, I would

924
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 3: just look at some of these teams like you put

925
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 3: this guy on me, like I'm gonna tear him up,

926
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: even though he gets worked on defensive. But he's not

927
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 3: the greatest defender. But Larry Bird wasn't a great defender either,

928
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 3: but he can overcome that with his offenses, passing his rebound.

929
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: I just think that, man, he puts a couple of

930
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 3: championships together. Birds got three, Birds got three MVPs. Jokis

931
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 3: already has two MVPs. He probably should have had a

932
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 3: third this year. I understand why, and Beid got it.

933
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: But it's kind of looking like, ah, yeah, man, I

934
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 3: think you guys fumble that one. I guess what they

935
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 3: would call it, voter voter tired fatigue. They're voted for

936
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 3: TIG which is which is BS and you give it

937
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: to the guy who should win the award. This voter

938
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: fatigue stuff is just cracked. But probably Jo kics right now.

939
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 3: Problem with the yok MVP this year. It's all the

940
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: arguments for him to win the MVP the last two

941
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 3: years are now invalid because of his team success.

942
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: But look who's got a round out and out of that?

943
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah right that that that's really what held him up

944
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: this year. He was the best player and probably should

945
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: have been the MVP of the league. They just got

946
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: it wrong in the last two years. That's the issue. Yeah,

947
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 2: well that's the problem. That is the problem.

948
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: And also too, they were swept by Phoenix in one

949
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 3: of those MVP years.

950
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the year they got it wrong. Yeah, I guess

951
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: you could say the.

952
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: Same thing about him B this year Game seven and

953
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 3: you put up fifteen points. I mean, hey, just is

954
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: what it is? Five to eighteen from the field, Like

955
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 3: I didn't make the numbers up. Just go look it up.

956
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: That's what he shot and that's what he did. But yo,

957
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 3: kids right now, man, And that's why I think the

958
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: Nuggets win tonight.

959
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: I don't think the Lakers have enough in their role players.

960
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: I don't know where d Loo's been spending his circles

961
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: on the defensive end, trying to too focused on trying

962
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 3: to push his water drink and breaking the NBA sponsorship

963
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 3: rules and things like that. He's too focused on that

964
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 3: and not focused and playing ball, and he's just getting

965
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: worked over by Jamal Murray, but also too We talked

966
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: about coaching with Joe Miszula and with Eric Spostra.

967
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: If you look at.

968
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: What Mike Malone is really doing to Darvin Ham, If

969
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 3: you look at what Mike Malone's really doing the Darvin Ham,

970
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 3: he's out coaching him because Darvin Ham should make some

971
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: of these adjustments. He started Vanderbilt the other night, and

972
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: you heard everybody went crazy, Yeah, there you go, Yes,

973
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 3: start Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt played like eighteen minutes. What'd you start

974
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: him for? If you were gonna pull him out and

975
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 3: getting nervous? Your boy played just long enough to ruin

976
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 3: everybody's first basketback you. I didn't have it on there,

977
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 3: but I just thought, like, nobody's betting Jared Vanderbilt to

978
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 3: steal the ball, forget it and get the first basket.

979
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 3: But just adjustments like that where it almost like he

980
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 3: he came to the pressure to play him and start

981
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: and make a move and play Vanderbilt and start Vanderbilt.

982
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: But as soon as.

983
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: The game got going and the Lakers jumped out and

984
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 3: were leading. As soon as the game got going, he

985
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 3: kind of settled right back into what he's been doing,

986
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 3: and it only took a you know, quarter, two and

987
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 3: a half quarters for Jamal to go, Okay, let me

988
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 3: get going. You got you know, I've been a little

989
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: all my jumpers buten off. But let me get going

990
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 3: to go close this thing out twenty three points in

991
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. I think he's being out coached, too,

992
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,959
Speaker 3: But Joker, to me is the best player in the series.

993
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't think that's even.

994
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: I like.

995
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 3: I like the Nuggets tonight, and if they go up

996
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 3: three to zero, I'll call a sweet Monday night. I think, uh,

997
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 3: I think the Lakers will get one of these two games.

998
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 3: But I told Bucky as we were leaving, I think

999
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 3: both of these conference finals are looking at a five

1000
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 3: game gentleman's type sweep where I mean, you know, it's

1001
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 3: just I have never been in the world where I

1002
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: thought that Austin Reeves could be the third best player

1003
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 3: on the championship team, because really the reality of the

1004
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: situation is your third best player sometimes is gonna have

1005
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 3: to be your second best player on the night. Like

1006
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,240
Speaker 3: for example, like Jamal Murray went off in the fourth

1007
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: quarter and saved what was kind of an iffy game,

1008
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 3: yeah right, prior to that, yeah right, or like even better,

1009
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum in Game seven, right, yeah, Like up until

1010
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 3: that point, he's still one of the best players all Boston,

1011
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 3: but he needed Marcus Smart and Jalen Brown to get

1012
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 3: him through those first halfs, to get through that third

1013
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 3: quarter until he turns it on in the fourth. Michael

1014
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 3: Porter Junior, and you see it's more of it by

1015
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 3: committee here, but Michael Porter Junior stretches the defense out

1016
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 3: and allows them allows his ability to shoot the ball,

1017
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 3: and Aaron Gordon, even though he's in the way on

1018
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: offensive lot, his ability to rebound on the ball exactly

1019
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 3: CACP hitting shots. It allows Jamal Murray a little bit

1020
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 3: of time if he's not necessarily.

1021
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 2: Going full board. Bruce Brown, are you I'm not banking

1022
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: Austin is coming out when Anthony Davis is four to

1023
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: fourteen from the field from from the floor.

1024
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: I also too, if I'm Darvin Ham. The move I

1025
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,959
Speaker 3: thought they should have made, and I called this wrong

1026
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 3: when they traded for Rudy who Chamara, I thought did

1027
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 3: I say that, right, No, who's your mom?

1028
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 2: Who's who? Hot Chamara?

1029
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's your mamaj Yeah exactly. You guys remember that,

1030
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: you guys remember that that Fantasy football commercial with a

1031
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 3: guy drafted in TJ who but he can't say his name?

1032
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: He goes, who Shimazo, who's your mama? Yeah?

1033
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1034
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 3: But if you want to talk about a guy that

1035
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 3: should be getting more burn, who the twenty nine points

1036
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 3: that he had against Memphis and you remember one of

1037
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 3: the Memphis players saying, yeah, I would like to see

1038
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 3: him do it again. He didn't have twenty nine again,

1039
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 3: but he had twenty six and twenty three, and in

1040
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 3: this series he can't be guarded. He's making shots. If

1041
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 3: I'm Darvin Ham, there's a guy I may look at.

1042
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves has been nice, he's been a nice, cool story.

1043
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 3: But this idea that they gotta get him and they

1044
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 3: got to keep them, and they got to resign them.

1045
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: They're being scared off of letting Caruso go. But he's

1046
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 3: not Caruso. Caruso's first team All Defense. Austin Reeves ain't

1047
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: even a defensive type dude, And like you said, if

1048
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 3: you're depending on him, to carry some weight until Lebron

1049
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 3: could get going in the fourth, until Ad could get

1050
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 3: going in the fourth, or you know, you're gonna need

1051
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: guys like d Lo. You're gonna need somebody. You know

1052
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like is he carry?

1053
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: Who won? This Lakers roster is a ten o run?

1054
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, like Lebron, But you know

1055
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 2: to the point like who like you watched Miami last

1056
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: night and Looston goes on a run. Gabe Vincent is

1057
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 2: hitting big shots, you know what I'm saying, Like Strauss,

1058
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: that's Truce is hitting big shots, Duncan Robinson hitting big

1059
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 2: shots like the Lakers are kind of doing it. It's

1060
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 2: like by and Glue almost with like the Lonnie Walker

1061
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 2: the fourths, the Austin Reeves is and I when Lonnie

1062
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: Walker they got caught up in that Warriors game, he's

1063
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 2: not that Well, there's the because here's the thing though,

1064
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 2: here's the thing the every if you point to the

1065
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 2: Lakers big transition as the trade deadline, Malik Beasley's on

1066
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 2: the bench. Vander Milt, like you said, played fifteen to

1067
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 2: twenty minutes last game, all right, and Ruey Hotchimura has

1068
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 2: been above average above. He has good, exceeded expectations. Right.

1069
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves and Lonnie Walker the fourth was on this

1070
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 2: ratter the whole time. True, they were on this team

1071
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: the whole time. True, very true. And I get that

1072
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook was playing thirty minutes a game, but there's

1073
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: still forty eight. I mean it's still eighteen minutes in

1074
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: which he wasn't you know what I'm saying.

1075
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 3: It's like shooting twenty four percent from three, just like

1076
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 3: when Russell Westbrook was on the team.

1077
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,720
Speaker 2: Nothing not a lot's changed. Like I said, I start spend.

1078
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,479
Speaker 2: Do you think starting Rudy, I think it's much ado

1079
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: about nothing. I think it's like like putting a bandit

1080
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: on the stab wound, like the Lakers are bleeding you

1081
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like the Lakers are bleeding out.

1082
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: And it's like you could do a whole bunch of

1083
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: different things, but ultimately it's like trying to pick up

1084
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: a landfill with a broom. You know what I'm saying too,

1085
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: Like you move this trash here, there's a good trash

1086
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: is falling right after it, Like trying to mop the ocean. There,

1087
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 2: you go, try the ocean there's no there's no you know,

1088
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 2: band a bullet wound like, there's no like you could stop,

1089
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 2: you could stem the tide of the bleeding. But to me,

1090
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 2: and it really has been this way all postseason. We've

1091
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 2: talked about it before, We talked about last week. The

1092
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 2: Nuggets consistently from day if you delete the regular season,

1093
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 2: from day one of the playoffs, have been consistent in

1094
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: their output. They may have won, they may have lost,

1095
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 2: but where is point to the game in which they

1096
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: just got smoked? Game in which that Nicola Jokis went

1097
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 2: for twelve points, three rebounds, five assists, shot five or eighteen.

1098
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 2: That's not happening on either side, on two different sides

1099
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: of the bracket, in Miami and in Denver. That's not

1100
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: happening there. And that's what I'm sitting there. You're sitting

1101
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 2: there looking at like the Celtics four and five now

1102
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 2: in their last ten i'm sorry, nine postseason home games.

1103
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: Trouble something, That's what I'm saying.

1104
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 3: Trouble championship team losing that many home games in a playoffs.

1105
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 2: You look at the Lakers all right now, they call

1106
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 2: time out, they ran to it, Murray, it didn't freaking matter. Okay,

1107
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that Darvin Ham didn't try to throw

1108
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: everything but the dog on kitchen sink at Jamal Murray

1109
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 2: and it had no impact, right, And in hell, at

1110
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 2: that point, you gotta figure you gotta take away one

1111
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: yo can say shooting the ball in the fourth quarter, right,

1112
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 2: and it's not necessarily like he's running away from it,

1113
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 2: like he's touching it.

1114
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: They're doubling and he's passing the ball out. But you

1115
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 3: can't take away when you just said it yourself. They

1116
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 3: have too many other pieces. So if you if you

1117
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 3: take one of those guys away, are you leaving Michael

1118
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 3: Porter Junior in the court. He's a knockdown shoot six eight, Like,

1119
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 3: you can't leave him. You can't leave Bruce like you

1120
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 3: can't Like who do you leave? Who?

1121
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: Do you say, Okay, that guy's gotta beat me.

1122
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 3: Do you think that's their Do you think that's their

1123
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 3: strategy tonight is okay, we're gonna take one of these.

1124
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: You can't take yoki Jo, that's what they're figuring.

1125
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 3: I think you can't let Jokics get his and if

1126
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 3: he scores seventy five points and that eighty five rebounds

1127
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 3: and thirty seven assists then and you win by one

1128
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 3: instead of dumb. Well, Papa Vich used to do that

1129
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 3: playing Lebron. He showed the blueprint like in a fight,

1130
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 3: like let Lebron go get forty five, fifteen and twelve

1131
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 3: and we'll hold Dwayne Wade to eighteen and Chris Boss

1132
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 3: two eleven and will beat you, and the narrati would

1133
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 3: be Lebron did his part, but exactly, yeah, the narrative

1134
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 3: be like Lebron did his part, like no, we let

1135
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: you go one on one, you'll get yours, but we're

1136
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 3: just gonna shut everybody else. You think they can do that?

1137
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 3: The Jokics being a facilitator here is margan.

1138
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: No, because that's well, the part of the thing is

1139
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 2: you can facilitate like that. Well, all right, it's all

1140
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 2: well and good guys gotta make shots. That's what it

1141
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: boils down to.

1142
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 3: I think guys will, but I kind of think guys

1143
00:53:59,080 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 3: will make shots.

1144
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: Uh in this coming forward you got tonight, I like, uh,

1145
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 2: I think the Lakers will probably pull this one out,

1146
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 2: but I'm telling I would I'm not touching for five

1147
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: and a half. Yeah, I'm not.

1148
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 3: I don't think the Lakers cover this and there's been

1149
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 3: a lot of funny stuff.

1150
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 2: With the line on the game tonight. I'm not saying

1151
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: funny stuff in terms of its being fixed.

1152
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 3: I'm just saying like, if you there, if you had

1153
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 3: the six and a half, it's like Austin Reeves found

1154
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 3: at the end of the game, by dammit, he fouled him.

1155
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: I saw that.

1156
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not saying rigged either, But Scott Foster

1157
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 3: is the head is the head of the crew tonight,

1158
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 3: So just keep an eye on on that.

1159
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 2: Could another Warriors super team be in the works?

1160
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 3: Also PostScript, how much would you have to pay Martin

1161
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 3: to go on Instagram Live if he was a professional athlete.

1162
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 2: We'll get to that next because the number would be high.

1163
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 2: Martin and VJ coming to your liar from the tire

1164
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 2: rack dot Com studios. Right now, we've got the Carolina

1165
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 2: the Carolina Hurricanes, rather in the Florida Panthers. Almost mixed up,

1166
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 2: it said the Carolina Panthers. That's the wrong sport. Got

1167
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 2: the Carolina Hurricanes, Florida Panthers. Right now, this is the

1168
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 2: second goal. There's been two goals this series that Florida's

1169
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: goal scored. Rather and taking it off the board. Florida

1170
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 2: leads that series one to nothing. Carolina leads the game

1171
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 2: one to nothing right now with fourteen minutes left in

1172
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: the first quarter. But vich, I wanted to talk to

1173
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 2: you about the biggest event of the weekend that didn't

1174
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: have a winner nor a loser. Well, I guess the

1175
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs were the biggest winner, but I mean

1176
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: not necessarily in a competition. They won the lottery quite literally,

1177
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 2: and our distance, we're the biggest loser. Yeah, you know what.

1178
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: First of all, this a quick aside. I don't think

1179
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,240
Speaker 2: that the draft lottery is fixed. However, if they're trying

1180
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 2: to not make it seem like it's fixed, they're doing

1181
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: doing a terrible job. Terrible job, terrible job, terrible. I

1182
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 2: think it's only up and up. I truly do. However,

1183
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I just it's too much.

1184
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 3: That's not But you're not. You're not a conspiracy rig

1185
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 3: You're not that. It's gotta make sense to me. There's

1186
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 3: too much money involved on for that's why you achieved. Well,

1187
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 3: no would why would Sean Antonio be the benefit share

1188
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 3: of that?

1189
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: Thank you? Like there's too much, Antonio, I'll explain it. No,

1190
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 2: I don't.

1191
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 3: We don't need it, thank you, No, we do, No,

1192
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 3: we don't. It's not no, we don't know.

1193
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 2: We don't anyway, Yeah, thank you. Save that for a

1194
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 2: husky e and t on Twitter, but on Instagram, but

1195
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: thank you.

1196
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 3: Victor went Begnona comes out here and he he plays a.

1197
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 2: Game that day.

1198
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 3: Brian Windhors flies all the way across the world to

1199
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 3: go talk to him for about seventy two seconds.

1200
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 2: As as uh, we're getting ready to watch game one

1201
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 2: of the Western Conference Finals and they got by We

1202
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 2: got Chris Bruce out of here Bowl. Because here's the thing.

1203
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 2: VJ just said it, because we just ran the promo

1204
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 2: for it. He said, Chris Bruce star I said, if

1205
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 2: he becomes a king, if he becomes a D, his

1206
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 2: career was a disappointment. VJ.

1207
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 3: You said a D maybe, but a keen No, how

1208
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 3: could you say that King was a great play. He's

1209
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 3: got two championships. So if Victor wins two championships with

1210
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 3: the Spurs, that that somehow is a disappointment.

1211
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 2: So the rationale behind the argument, I agree with my

1212
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: friend Chris in this one. It is because solely because.

1213
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 3: You got people coming on TV talking about He's the

1214
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 3: greatest prospect in the history of team sports, right Like,

1215
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 3: Like that to me is it's really unfair to the kid, Like,

1216
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: it's really unfair to the kid.

1217
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 2: And we started to with the first that it was

1218
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 2: in my generation was Lebron. Right. You saw that Saint

1219
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: Vinces Saint Mary's versus Oak Hill game on TV and

1220
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 2: I recently have gone back and watched it.

1221
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 3: The beginning of it. There's a montage. It goes Michael.

1222
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: It shows Michael Jordan hitting the shot over Elo and

1223
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 2: it goes Larry and it shows Larry Bird doing the

1224
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: fist pump and I think magic and it shows him

1225
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 2: throwing the pass behind his head and then it shows

1226
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 2: Lebron right now, prior to now, and I still think

1227
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 2: it's still true, Lebron was the most hyped prospect coming out. Yeah,

1228
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 2: Lebron has been in the Eastern Conference finals more times

1229
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 2: than his team has finished with like third with forty wins,

1230
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying? Like he's finished. He's

1231
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: been in the Eastern Conference finals more times than his

1232
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 2: team finished below five hundred. He in the twenty years

1233
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: of his career, for ten straight he was in the

1234
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference finals four rings potentially with an opportunity to

1235
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 2: get five, although it is not looking good right in

1236
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 2: this moment right here. I'm sorry, I think gets six,

1237
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 2: but it's not looking good in this moment right here

1238
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 2: against the nuggets that and we're still there's people making

1239
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 2: millions of dollars debating unabout whether or not he lived

1240
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: up to the hype, whether or not he lived up

1241
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: to the potential because people were calling him, people were

1242
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 2: calling him that he was going to be the greatest

1243
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: prospect of all time. So it's almost impossible for Victor

1244
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 2: Webman Yama to live up to these stats. And the

1245
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: idea that you would even predict that he could is

1246
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 2: ludicrous because it you cannot go out there and predict

1247
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 2: the next Lebron James or the next Tom Brady. If

1248
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 2: you are, you're a bad general manager, because these guys

1249
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 2: are outliers. That's my thing. So it's my thing. If

1250
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 2: you're thinking you're gonna pick the next Chevin Durant, good luck.

1251
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 2: Like no, you're better off trying to find somebody who

1252
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 2: the archetype is there before our was already there.

1253
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 3: The problem is we need to stop listening to whoever

1254
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 3: says some of these things.

1255
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

1256
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 3: And I don't know who came up with the original

1257
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 3: quote and who said he is the greatest prospect in all.

1258
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 2: I'll sell you Ajan Rodger Dranowski. Okay.

1259
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:50,959
Speaker 3: So well yeah, and I'm not much of a wojo guy,

1260
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 3: but we need to start ignoring when we hear stuff

1261
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 3: like this because of sports, of all of sports, the

1262
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 3: greatest prospect. So so, when Tiger was in Stanford and he

1263
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 3: was coming into.

1264
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 2: The PGSA, team sports just teams, okay, team sports. Okay.

1265
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: So to your point, when John Elway was coming out

1266
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: of when Andrew luck was coming into the NFL, when

1267
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 3: John Elway was coming into the NFL, I mean, guys,

1268
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 3: let's that's the problem is we we hold these guys

1269
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 3: on Twitter that has these power that gets to report everything.

1270
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 3: You have a whoa Joe, and you have a chefter

1271
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 3: and you have a Shams and you have we have

1272
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 3: to stop believing and gushing into everything that they say.

1273
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 3: This guy, this guy Victor, this kid Victor. We haven't

1274
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 3: even really seen him play.

1275
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 2: That's part of the reason why we are listening to

1276
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: all the reports and listening to all that because no,

1277
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 2: like I shouldn't say, no one, but the idea that

1278
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,959
Speaker 2: you've laid eyes on Victor web Yama and can speak

1279
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 2: definitively about his game. I think the people who can

1280
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 2: are are few.

1281
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,919
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is Tholso this though, I gotta see

1282
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 3: who is he playing against. You're telling me he's the

1283
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: greatest prospecting team sports of all time, but we haven't

1284
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 3: seen him like play college ball here where he's going

1285
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 3: against all these other American players that are gonna be

1286
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 3: in the draft, that that are gonna be in March

1287
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 3: madnesson that we're gonna get to know now.

1288
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: I know the video is out.

1289
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 3: There of the kid from Memphis abusing him, but this

1290
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 3: is also out here two years ago and I and

1291
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 3: you can tell just by the body that.

1292
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: Wasn't anything recent.

1293
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: But when you put tags on things like that, like

1294
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 3: you said, number one is very unfair to the kid,

1295
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 3: but number two is very unfair to the consumers too,

1296
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 3: because with Twitter and with Instagram, and with TikTok and

1297
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 3: with social media as a whole of Facebook, this kid's

1298
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 3: going to get killed. This could really kill his mental

1299
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 3: This could kill his mental health if he does not

1300
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 3: pan out to be the greatest, like you're you're telling

1301
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 3: me he's gotta be Lebron. He's gotta be like you said,

1302
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 3: he's gotta be will Are. Somebody's gotta be Jordan. Just

1303
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 3: let the kid come into the damn league and let's

1304
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 3: see what it would. Trust me, the tape's gonna tell

1305
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 3: us what he is sooner or later when he gets

1306
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Don't show me no French tape. And

1307
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to knock your basketball. But it was

1308
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 3: like when Luca Doncis came into the league. Okay, I

1309
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 3: understand he's playing pro at fifteen and playing pro at

1310
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: sixteen and playing against Russell Westbrook in the tournament when.

1311
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 2: He was only sixty. Okay, I get all that, but

1312
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 2: I still got to see it in the NBA.

1313
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 3: And now that you're seeing this, like, okay, cool, the

1314
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 3: kid is legit, but he's also thicker, six eight six seven,

1315
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 3: like he's got a lot to his game. I know

1316
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 3: Victor can shoot, but I'm gonna need him to gain somewhere.

1317
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna need to eat some American steak and some

1318
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 3: American potatoes, put some weight on. But at the end

1319
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 3: of the day, Mark, honestly, man, we'll see over time.

1320
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 3: But this idea that greatest prospecting team sports Dude. I

1321
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 3: didn't even pay attention to that cause I'm like, Okay,

1322
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 3: this is one guy saying it. This is one player,

1323
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 3: and like you said, very few can say yep, I've

1324
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 3: been to this amount of games.

1325
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 2: This is not just one guy.

1326
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 3: That's the prevailing The prevailing thought is that Victor Wiberyam

1327
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 3: is a can't miss guy like that's and I just

1328
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 3: heard that too many times in my life due exactly

1329
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 3: the idea of a can't by definition a prospects like

1330
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 3: an investment.

1331
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 2: It could go up, Yeah, it could go down.

1332
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could crash, just go down, crash. You know,

1333
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 3: it could crash. You you walk into what Enron in

1334
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety three, you invest Yeah, life is good, he

1335
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 3: was good ninety five. It's ugly yachtson champagne Like yachtson champagne. Baby,

1336
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 3: it can get ugly. Just that you know, you invested

1338
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 3: they're closed. That prospect was a sears I should say.

Speaker 6: to five. The o's record thirty and sixteen Fox TV

1381
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 6: as USFL games on Saturday and Sunday again this weekend.

1382
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 6: Birmingham won at Michigan today.

1383
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 2: Back to you, thanks Steve, and like you just said,

1384
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 2: we are moments away from tip at Crypto dot Com

1385
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 2: Arena stables. Sure Martin vide coming to you a lot

1386
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 2: at the Tireck dot Com studios. I saw Mark Madena

1387
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 2: tweet this. He was at Darvinham's presser pregame presser today.

1388
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 2: He said that the Lakers' focus would be offensive rebounding

1389
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 2: and transition defense. And the big thing I've seen in

1390
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 2: this series so far. Remember in Game one, as as

1391
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 2: the second half is starting, or the fourth quarter starting,

1392
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 2: and the Lakers are just cascading back into the game,

1393
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,920
Speaker 2: right they were down twenty. They're just and honestly, I

1394
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 2: thought I was talking about thought for a moment, I'm like,

1395
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 2: you know what this might be. It this might be

1396
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: where we see the Nuggets fold right. That would have

1397
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: been a prime moment for a team not prepared for

1398
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 2: the moment to fold right to Boston. Anyway, as you

1399
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 2: see Boston call timeout, Mowaukes call timeout, send a double

1400
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 2: and anyway, anyway, I'm getting off truck about just coach.

1401
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm getting off truck. But the part of the issue

1402
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 2: was and that Lakers comeback is Denver was having a

1403
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 2: lot of trouble scoring in the half court. Even when

1404
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: you look at the game the game two, Jamal Murray

1405
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 2: is hitting backbreakers. Yo is hitting back back breakers in

1406
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 2: the half court. The whole concept for the Lakers and

1407
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 2: the Warriors with the Warriors had to get out and

1408
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 2: run them. Warriors had to get out and run them.

1409
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 2: Warriors had to get out and run them. Well, Draymond

1410
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 2: Green is my age. Klay Thompson had two catastrophic leg injuries.

1411
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,959
Speaker 2: Right Stephan was out getting up and down the court.

1412
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 2: Steph was doing him this Denver program. Okay, you got

1413
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray who's at the knees, but he's looking a

1414
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 2: lot better right now. KCP up and down, MPJ up

1415
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 2: and down, Bruce Brown up and down. With this spoke

1416
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: in the middle of the hub of jokis who is

1417
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:38,959
Speaker 2: just spraying it, excuse me.

1418
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 3: Spraying it left, right and center. The Lakers are I

1419
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 3: think the Lakers are in trouble. Yeah, they're not just

1420
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 3: in trouble. Like I said, I'll take Denver tonight and

1421
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 3: They've been in trouble all all year long. That's the

1422
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 3: problem is you just said it. We're watching the highlights

1423
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 3: here and I'm like, just watch. They don't get back

1424
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 3: on defense in the half court. They're the number two

1425
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 3: I believe ranked defense in the league in efficiency, but

1426
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 3: in transition they're dead last. So get out because they

1427
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 3: don't run back. Ad doesn't run back. Lebron doesn't run back.

1428
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 3: Reez doesn't run back. Just put the tape on, guys,

1429
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 3: It's not hard to put the tape on and see

1430
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:13,919
Speaker 3: what's right in front of you. Don't fail the eye test,

1431
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 3: don't believe what your I see, and if then we're smart,

1432
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 3: run tonight, don't walk nothing up, get the ball in

1433
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 3: and go almost Dan Tony style. You guys, remember when

1434
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 3: Phoenix used to say, listen, if they get within three feet,

1435
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 3: let him have the lay up, grab the ball coming

1436
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 3: out of the wop, don't let the ball hit the court,

1437
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 3: grab the ball, step out, throw it back in and

1438
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 3: let's go.

1439
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 2: Let's see if they could run with us.

1440
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 3: If you guys want to remember what forty minutes of

1441
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 3: hell with the Arkansas Razorbacks back in the day and

1442
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 3: Nolan Richardson's team forty minutes A hell, let's we're gonna

1443
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 3: run you to.

1444
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 2: Death because we know you won't get back.

1445
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 3: And whenever any type of bad feelings and vibes start

1446
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,640
Speaker 3: to enter the game is when you really see it

1447
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 3: affect the Lakers and you really see it shut down. Now,

1448
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 3: Denver's gonna have to go out. As you said earlier,

1449
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to hit shots tonight. You know, I

1450
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 3: don't think they're gonna get layup after l I think

1451
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to hit some jump shots tonight. I

1452
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 3: don't like the saying that role players normally play better

1453
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 3: at home. I mean, if I'm a player, dude, I'm

1454
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 3: gonna play good.

1455
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

1456
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 3: I don't get that whether I'm home or on the road,

1457
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna still play the same. I'm trying to figure

1458
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 3: still figure out why that's a thing.

1459
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 2: In the NBA.

1460
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 3: Will role players for some reason Yeah, well no, no,

1461
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's not true. I just I'm trying

1462
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 3: to figure out why does it the same players show

1463
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 3: up on the road, and they show if you play

1464
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 3: at home tonight and if you play on a road

1465
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 3: two days from now, what the hell changed. Like what,

1466
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 3: it's the same court, same who same same uh dynameter

1467
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 3: of the court, the same, the length of ninety four feet,

1468
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 3: everything is the same.

1469
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,840
Speaker 2: Nothing changed. So they're gonna have to hit shots tonight.

1470
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 3: But the Lakers, even if they start out fast, be

1471
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 3: aware of the Lakers getting out to a fast start

1472
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 3: tonight and then them settling in and then Denver making

1473
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 3: a push. If the Lakers come out flat tonight, the

1474
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 3: game over because, like you said, they've had it to

1475
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 3: where they were down twenty one. They got to within

1476
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 3: three in Game one, and they scored seventy two points

1477
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 3: in the second half the other night of Game one,

1478
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 3: exactly after giving up in the first half to Denver

1479
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 3: in Game one, and all the takeaway was, well, the

1480
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 3: Lakers could take something away. This was a good loss.

1481
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 3: First of all, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. There's

1482
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 3: no such damn thing as a good loss in sport.

1483
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody's and it's definitely not a

1484
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 3: good There's no such thing as a loss if you

1485
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 3: lose this series. So, like I said, I'll take Dinver

1486
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 3: to night because I just think they're the better basketball team.

1487
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 3: And whenever I watch veterans and retired guys sit on

1488
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 3: TV and talk and analyze the game. They tell you

1489
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 3: that the better team is gonna win the series. The

1490
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 3: lower If you're not the better team, you're not beating

1491
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 3: the team four out of seven and they're up to zero,

1492
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 3: they go up three to zero. Now, I mean seeding

1493
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 3: aside seeding. Like, I really do think the Heat are

1494
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 3: the better basketball team. They're being coached better, they play harder.

1495
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 3: The other night, Reggie Miller kept talking about every loose.

1496
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 2: Ball is going whose way depends on how you I think.

1497
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,560
Speaker 2: So I get your point, but I think that is

1498
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 2: where coaching comes in because I basically because I was

1499
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 2: trying to you know, Mario was actually this, what's the

1500
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 2: difference with coaching. I'm like, well, I'm looking at it.

1501
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 3: It's like, all of these guys are really good. Yeah

1502
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 3: you're good. Yeah you did, like and weh, he's trash.

1503
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 3: He's trash in comparison to like, yeah you know he's

1504
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 3: playing exactly, he'd come to the y and drop fifty

1505
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 3: on you, right.

1506
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 2: You know you wouldn't have time. He wouldn't even have time.

1507
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he wouldn't even have to In fact,

1508
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 3: that saw a video the other day, right, hen have

1509
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 3: to play time. But I saw a video the other day,

1510
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:31,759
Speaker 3: U Jamal Crawford was giving somebody work in some lifetime

1511
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 3: fittness somewhere. And Jamal Crawford can't play it, can't even

1512
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 3: get it, can't even get a roster spot somewhere.

1513
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: So so there there you have, and it just shows

1514
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 2: you that the variation is just how good these guys are.

1515
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 2: And when you see somebody like Michael Porter Junior doing

1516
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 2: something brain ded like stepping on the out of bounds line,

1517
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 2: it's like it makes you go, well, well that is

1518
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 2: how that's coaching. Like he like, if you remember, go

1519
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 2: back to Game one, Michael Porter Jr. Dives on the floor,

1520
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 2: gets the loose ball that led to the only two

1521
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 2: fast break points the Nuggets had in the second half.

1522
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: Now did he do all? He did a lot of

1523
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 2: other stuff that game that was dumb. All Right, Michael

1524
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 2: Malone's didn go into the post game and be like,

1525
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 2: we wouldn't have won that game if Michael Port Juni

1526
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 2: had to dived on that ball. And you know what,

1527
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 2: ain't nobody gonna talk about how he stepped on the

1528
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 2: line because they know it. They know talking about the

1529
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 2: inbound past. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they know what's dumb.

1530
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: But it was like what's the where's the point? And

1531
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 2: how do you harp on it? Like and how do

1532
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 2: you take? Uh? You know, a success is what happens

1533
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 2: after you rebound from failure. You just failed, you stepped

1534
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 2: on the other bounds, like what comes next? You know

1535
01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 2: what came next? You had two big threes, you know

1536
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, to keep.

1537
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 3: So it's like that's where you know, the coaching aspect

1538
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 3: comes in is were you're able to keep your guys

1539
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 3: locked in?

1540
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson played minutes in game two? Yeah, play that

1541
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 2: since he left Los Angeles, right, you know what I'm saying.

1542
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 2: We're talking about now, but he was, and you're talking

1543
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,799
Speaker 2: on the Lakers side of oh can they bench D'Angelo Russell?

1544
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 2: Will they lose him?

1545
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1546
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 2: I saw that reply. I saw I think that Duncan

1547
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:08,719
Speaker 2: Robinson got lost.

1548
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying, Like, do you think

1549
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 3: that Duncan Robinson got lost after he signed that big,

1550
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 3: humongous contract and it was stable to the bench for

1551
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 3: the likes of Max Shruce, who also was undrafted in

1552
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 3: the Steed Like no it's also too with the Lakers, though,

1553
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 3: when you when I saw that quote the other day

1554
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 3: and I saw it on multiple you know, and multiple

1555
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 3: sources coming out, I was like, wow, man, this is

1556
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 3: this It's not about losing him. It's about if there's

1557
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 3: some questions to be made of guys to be moved

1558
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 3: this offseason.

1559
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 2: We just know Lebron led teams. Will you you fall like,

1560
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 2: if you're a role player, you're you're you're some of

1561
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 2: the first to go. If you don't produce, you're some

1562
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 2: of the first to go. Benching him, I don't know

1563
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 2: if it's oh, will you lose him, it's just like, okay,

1564
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 2: if you bench him, that means he's not producing. He

1565
01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,880
Speaker 2: might be one of the guys Lebron wants to go. Yeah,

1566
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 2: you might want to We might want to move on

1567
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 2: from him. We tried, it didn't work out. Let's try

1568
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 2: to go get this guy, this guy, this guy. Either way,

1569
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: the idea that you have to worry about benching a

1570
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 2: starter on your team is that's problematic.

1571
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 3: Hey, check this to Bostle really quick. With Joe Missoula,

1572
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 3: you want to Jay's corner? I know, I know, no,

1573
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 3: but just a real with Joe Missoula. When you think

1574
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 3: about like you said, it's it feels like they call

1575
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 3: him Joe, right they do. He doesn't put his foot

1576
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 3: down because in today's game, you just can't.

1577
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 2: Every coach doesn't have.

1578
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 3: The the you know, the the goal to do so

1579
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 3: because you can lose a guy that way, because these

1580
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 3: guys are a lot more sensitive in today's basketball. That's

1581
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 3: that's the point I wanted to make about Joe Missoula

1582
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 3: and the friendliness. It seems like you said, nobody wants

1583
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 3: to step on anybody's feet there. I think that's uh

1584
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 3: might be happening in l A a little bit too.

1585
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 1: Man.

1586
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,040

Speaker 2: Chris cut that music for me today.

1605
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 3: Man, we got a special Uncle Vj's Corner going down today. Man,

1606
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 3: This gentleman right here, we lost this week. This is

1607
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 3: kind of emotional for me because my connection with my

1608
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 3: stepfather is very powerful. Like most men, the connection with

1609
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 3: their dad is very powerful. The first athlete that my

1610
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 3: step pop, Glenn Thomas, put me on to was Muhammad Ali.

1611
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 3: The second athlete he put me onto I had no

1612
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 3: idea about when I was six seven years old, was

1613
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 3: mister Jim Brown born February seventeenth, nineteen thirty six and

1614
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 3: Saint Simon's Island Island in Georgia. He was born to

1615
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 3: Swinton Brown, his father, who was a pro boxer, and

1616
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 3: his mother, Teresa Brown, who was a homemaker, passed away

1617
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 3: this past week at eighty seven years old and Los

1618
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 3: Angeles boyt does Los Angeles really takes some celebrities from US.

1619
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 2: I can name them all day, but just go google it.

1620
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,680
Speaker 3: Tell you a little bit about this man and what

1621
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 3: he meant because he was more than just an athlete.

1622
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 3: I know that's a popular thing we love to put

1623
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 3: out today. Is more than just an athlete. Jim Brown,

1624
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 3: Muhammad Ali, those guys there were more than just an

1625
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 3: athlete before anybody thought to make it a hashtag and

1626
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 3: make it the same we all know about the credientials

1627
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 3: and University of Syracuse. In high school, I tell you

1628
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 3: he led her thirteen times football, lacrosse, baseball, basketball, and

1629
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 3: track also too in high school. Earlier this week, I

1630
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 3: heard a guy on sports Ark Radio put out they

1631
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 3: average fifteen points for Syracuse. How about thirty eight night

1632
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 3: in high school? That was a long Island record before

1633
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 3: it was then broken. Goes off to Syracuse, and if

1634
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 3: you don't know the history of Syracuse, when he got

1635
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 3: to Syracuse, they didn't even want black athletes. They didn't

1636
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 3: want black students to play sports there, to the point

1637
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 3: that the scholarship that was promised to him and the

1638
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 3: second semester of his freshman year was never never held up.

1639
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,600
Speaker 3: This man fought through so much racism, so much discrimination,

1640
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 3: civil rights, you name it, Jim Brown did it. In

1641
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 3: my opinion, he's the best running back in the history

1642
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 3: of the NFL. We all know he only played nine

1643
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 3: years there and for the Cleveland Browns, where he won

1644
01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 3: some world championships with Auto Graham average five point two

1645
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 3: yards of carrier, which is still tied for six in

1646
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 3: NFL history. If you want to know number one and

1647
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 3: seven point zero, Mike vinc go look that up. He

1648
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 3: was number one in Russia when he retired, until it

1649
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 3: was broken by Walter Payton. This man then crossed over

1650
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 3: into the acting field, and some of the movies are

1651
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 3: just classics.

1652
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 2: When you get.

1653
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 3: Crossover from sports to film and you just end up

1654
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 3: in class that says something about your character, says something

1655
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 3: about the way people love you, the way people mess

1656
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 3: with you, and the way the universe is in your

1657
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 3: favorite Any given Sunday, y'all remember him. He was the

1658
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator for the Miami Sharks. How about The Running Man?

1659
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 2: Y'all?

1660
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 3: Remember The Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was a

1661
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,879
Speaker 3: pyro or Fireball. Fireball was his character's name in that movie.

1662
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 3: He was also worked with guys like Spike Lee. He

1663
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 3: was in He Got Game. My favorite movie he was

1664
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 3: in was I'm Gonna Get You Sucker with the Waynes Brothers,

1665
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 3: and he played a role of a street vigil LANDI

1666
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 3: to come back and take down mister Big. The greatest

1667
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,879
Speaker 3: quote in the movie is he asks keenan Ivy Wayns,

1668
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 3: what makes you think you could be a black hero?

1669
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 2: Keenan Iry Wayns. Pauls for a second. He steps up

1670
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 2: to him with his chin up and his chest out.

1671
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 2: He goes, I'm an.

1672
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 3: Ex football player, and Jim Brown kind of just backs

1673
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 3: down off of him. Just great stuff, man. He was

1674
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 3: also in the Original Gangsters. He also participated in the

1675
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 3: most famed summit, the Cleveland Summit, with Kareem abdu Jabbar,

1676
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 3: Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali when they were protesting the Vietnam War.

1677
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:05,759
Speaker 2: He just stood for so much.

1678
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 3: And when we lost him the other day, I text

1679
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 3: my pop man and I don't get to talk to

1680
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 3: my pop a lot. He lists back east, I'm out here,

1681
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 3: and I got a little emotional about it, because, like

1682
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 3: I said, he was more than just somebody I was

1683
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 3: told about. My pot put me onto him, and I

1684
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 3: started to really learn about the sport of football because

1685
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 3: my dad told me about a guy named Jim Brown.

1686
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 3: Rest in peacer. You brought so much to the world.

1687
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 3: You brought so much to the game of football. You

1688
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 3: brought so much to civil rights and the things you

1689
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 3: stood up for. We didn't just lose a former athlete

1690
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 3: and an actor, ladies and gentlemen, we actually lost a

1691
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 3: generational human being. And as I get older and we

1692
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 3: start to lose these guys, it makes me appreciate what

1693
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 3: I've been shown, what I've been taught, and what I'm

1694
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 3: trying to leave my mark on the world. Mister Jim Brown, Sir,

1695
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 3: Rest in Paradise. Rest in piece to Jim Brown.

1696
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 2: And right now we're looking at the Denver Nuggets with

1697
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 2: a seventeen to nine lead right now over the Los

1698
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers, just under six minutes left in that one

1699
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 2: the Panthers and the Hurricanes. Hurricanes have a one nothing

1700
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 2: lead and are out shooting the Panthers by like some

1701
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen shots on goal. So we'll see if

1702
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 2: the Panthers, I mean, if the pardon me, we'll see

1703
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 2: if the Panthers are able to come back and that

1704
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 2: one as well. As we sit here, Jamal Murray fakes

1705
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,679
Speaker 2: AD three. We'll be back with more on this game

Speaker 2: right now? All right? You're ready for this? Have you

1721
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 2: here's some statistics that you might be interested in right now.

1722
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 2: Hit hit me, Nacola Jokics. Field goals made zero, phil

1723
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 2: goals attempted three, three pointers made zero, three points attempted one.

1724
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 2: All right, defensive rebounds two plus minus twelve. He has

1725
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 2: not scored, Nope.

1726
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 3: He has not hit a shot from the from the

1727
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 3: free throw line anywhere, Nope. The back to back MVP

1728
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 3: has yet to put the biscuit in the basket. However,

1729
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 3: has a twelve point lead right now, twenty six to

1730
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 3: fourteen on the Los Angeles Lakers. It's still early, man,

1731
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 3: But I told you if you want to, if you

1732
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 3: want to turn him into a facilitator, then that that

1733
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 3: plays right into his hand. You're gonna turn him into

1734
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 3: a facilitator.

1735
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 2: He's just running. He's just running the show right now.

1736
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 2: He's just takeing.

1737
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 3: He only has two dimes. He only has got two dimes,

1738
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 3: but he's running the show. A lot of hockey assists,

1739
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 3: we got the game up right here, and we're just

1740
01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,840
Speaker 3: sitting here. Watch is just shaking our head like it.

1741
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 3: I said, if the Lakers come out fast, I think

1742
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 3: they'll settle back and allow Boss this excuse me, dinver

1743
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:07,880
Speaker 3: In said. But if they come out flat and Denver

1744
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 3: comes out hitting shots, Devin's got to hit shots.

1745
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 2: And that's what they're doing right now. They're hitting shots.

1746
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 2: Man twelve point league Lebron James has two more points

1747
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 2: than Nicola Jochus does to put his grand total so.

1748
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 3: Far at two two points. At two Anthony Davis.

1749
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 2: They are riding the brow right now because he's If

1750
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: it wasn't for him, this game would already be an

1751
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 2: absolute blowout. And it's part of the reason why I

1752
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 2: was agreeing with Michael Malone. And if I was in

1753
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 2: that postgame press conference, I would have said, hey, coach,

1754
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 2: you know I agree with you, buddy, I'm not. I

1755
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 2: know I'm a media member and I know I got

1756
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 2: the badge on them a media member, but I I

1757
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 2: kind of thought that you guys had the best game one.

1758
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 2: You won the game, have plenty of stuff to work on,

1759
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 2: and part of the thing you had to work on

1760
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 2: was the big switch of Anthony Davis playing free safety

1761
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 2: while Aaron Gordon's and the dunkpot didn't necessarily seem like

1762
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 2: we're trying to figure out differential calculus here.

1763
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 3: I don't want to take that class either. But also

1764
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 3: too man, when you put the Warriors showed whoever Anthony

1765
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 3: Davis is guarding, put him in the pick and roll,

1766
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 3: that pulls Anthony Davis from the hoop and you get

1767
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 3: driving lanes because name me a Laker that's going to

1768
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 3: protect the rim Lebron Listen.

1769
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 2: Man, y'all, that's over to time.

1770
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 3: For time, you guys can watch him on the box,

1771
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 3: on the block, and in the paint he watches guys

1772
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 3: go score layups right in front of him. He's not

1773
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 3: gonna play if he can't do the chase down block

1774
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 3: when nobody sees him coming. He ain't guarding nobody straight

1775
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 3: up in the paint. He'll let him score all day long.

1776
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 3: So you put Anthony Davis in the pick and roll,

1777
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 3: you just don't let him roll. And then also to

1778
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 3: the Lakers, fifty four percent in the first in the

1779
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 3: game one, down to forty three percent in game two,

1780
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 3: forty seven percent from three in game one down to

1781
01:23:56,280 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 3: twenty four percent from three in game two. I tweet

1782
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 3: great game, but I promise you the Lakers will not

1783
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 3: shoot like that again, because they haven't shot like that

1784
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 3: consistently all year. You just don't turn it on in

1785
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 3: a playoffs either. That's why it made no sense that

1786
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 3: like the Lakers had, like I'm with Mike Michael brother,

1787
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 3: I'm alone, there was this narrative that the Lakers had

1788
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 3: they could take a lot from the law and it's

1789
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 3: just like, bro, oh my god.

1790
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 2: Well it's just like, to me, that's the best way

1791
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 2: to win. Yeah, you win. And there's several different moments

1792
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 2: you could point to. Its like we almost lost. Look

1793
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,360
Speaker 2: how we almost lost, you know, and so then you

1794
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 2: can go back and say like, all right, this is

1795
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 2: what we need to work on, this is what we

1796
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 2: need to fix and uh, and right now the Nuggets

1797
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 2: are looking like they're I mean to take care of

1798
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 2: up fourteen or fourteen point lead in the first quarter.

1799
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 2: And we know in the NBA, obviously, uh, the lea

1800
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,719
Speaker 2: lead will shift with with seconds you go to the bathroom.

1801
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 2: And now it's been a twenty to three run, especially

1802
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 2: if Boston is playing, because all.

1803
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 3: You have because at some point, maybe just maybe a

1804
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 3: coach of call time Boston.

1805
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 2: All you gotta do is walk hey, you know, you

1806
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 2: answer a text matches. All of a sudden, they're down ten.

1807
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 3: I went to change cameras pull up last night and

1808
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 3: I forgot the pause. You know, I watch everything on

1809
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 3: DVR and not Pauls whenever I'm gonna be away from

1810
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 3: the TV.

1811
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,679
Speaker 2: But I was like, okay, can't nothing happen that much?

1812
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 2: I could change.

1813
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 3: I'm a mask that change them diaper some pull ups,

1814
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 3: So I go change cameras pull up.

1815
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 2: I come back in the living room, I say out loud,

1816
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 2: what the hell the hell happened? It was just a

1817
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:25,439
Speaker 2: to a point game. What's going?

1818
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 3: And it was forty seven forty five Miami. I'm like,

1819
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 3: what the hell happened just now? But like you said,

1820
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 3: things can change really fast, but you have to be

1821
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 3: able to shoot the ball. For things to change really fast,

1822
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 3: you have to be able to play transition defense. For

1823
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 3: things to change really fast, you have to be able

1824
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 3: to just be a better basketball team. You watch even

1825
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 3: like Lebron play. I know the old thing. I'm not older.

1826
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 3: He was very smart creating the Father Time commercial and

1827
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 3: I said, listen, let's just marketing. But if you even

1828
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:51,720
Speaker 3: watch this drive right here, look at this right here,

1829
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 3: this is this is a feeble attempt to get a layup.

1830
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 3: And that's not a foul. They called a foul on that,

1831
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 3: but that's a block shot. And as they show Jamal

1832
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 3: Murray right here killing Dennis shrewder money. Look at cheval

1833
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 3: Or nine right now on the first quarter. He's going

1834
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 3: to get this game by himself. He didn't shoot well

1835
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 3: and play well the first two and a half quarters

1836
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 3: that had to turn it in on the fourth quarter.

1837
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 2: I think he's coming out.

1838
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 3: I e like Jason Tatum it was game six to

1839
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 3: save himself and when he started one of twelve, one

1840
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 3: of eleven, but then comes down game seven and has

1841
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,680
Speaker 3: a fifty point game, fifty three or fifty two point game,

1842
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 3: breaking Steph Curry's seventh game seven playoff scoring record. I

1843
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 3: think Jamal Murray woke up today and said, Okay, I'm

1844
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 3: not even gonna start bad like that, and we I'm

1845
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 3: gonna come get this one.

1846
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,599
Speaker 2: Joker. You chill for a little bit, like you.

1847
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 3: Said, right, you chill for a little bit, and when

1848
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 3: we need you in the clutch, I know you're gonna

1849
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 3: be there. But hey, guys, just get on my back man.

1850
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 3: While we on the row, let's go put up you

1851
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,679
Speaker 3: know a fourteen point spot right now? Thirteen point spot?

1852
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 3: Excuse me? Thirty to seventeen first quarter, just over a

1853
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,839
Speaker 3: minute left to go here in Game three at Staples

1854
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 3: Crypto dot Com.

1855
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm just looking at Jeff Green. I bet him

1856
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 2: to hit a three pointer last game. I know that's

1857
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 2: a ridiculous bet, but I hit him we saw that.

1858
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 2: I did. Did he hit one? No, he didn't. Oh,

1859
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 2: it was only one.

1860
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 3: He had only to do one. What was the plus one,

1861
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 3: uh one fifty or something like that. But he had

1862
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 3: one from the corner and that hit every side of

1863
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 3: the rim. And then right before Jabal Murray like hit

1864
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,679
Speaker 3: the big splash three that everybody was tweeting about, Jeff

1865
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 3: Green pumps fake Anthony Davis, who's standing in the paint.

1866
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 3: I was just like, you're wind open, Jeff. But that's

1867
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 3: part of the reason why Jeff Green is perennially on

1868
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 3: playoff teams. He doesn't take bad shots. Did you see

1869
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 3: how tweeted about about about Robert Williams being first one.

1870
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 3: I think it was first one to five. It was

1871
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 3: like a plus three thousand and and I did look

1872
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:37,679
Speaker 3: at that. I said, man, that just be a little

1873
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 3: juicy bet they take. I was like, nah, he ain't

1874
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 3: gonna score the first five. Yeah, he's the first one,

1875
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 3: he's the first one to six. Jimmy Butler cash me

1876
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 3: in at first to ten, first to fifteen. Here's the thing, though,

1877
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 3: here's the thing. You watched that game and it's mind blowing. Yeah,

1878
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 3: the first two possessions Robert Williams is making massive impact

1879
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 3: and they're just like whatever, Yeah, hey Joe, here, I

1880
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 3: got I gotta get Peyton Pritchard some minutes and he

1881
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 3: pulled them right.

1882
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: And he pulled them out of the game, and he

1883
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 2: pulled him out and.

1884
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 3: Look the camera close up, you could tell Robert wanted

1885
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 3: to beat a team player, beat a team guy, not

1886
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 3: you know, not calls no ruckus, but you can see

1887
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,639
Speaker 3: in his eyes. Yeah, coach, I'm ranglan. I don't understand

1888
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 3: why I think that you're pulling me off the floor.

1889
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 2: To the point I was making earlier, earlier, I think

1890
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 2: there's a lot of that right now in Boston, man,

1891
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 2: there has to be. They're in trouble, dude, it's it's

1892
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 2: is it over? You said five? Well, I think I

1893
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 2: think I would like to think they'd get one of

1894
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 2: the two of the next two games. But here's the thing.

1895
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 2: We do all that maths of like you know, uh,

1896
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 2: you know, the down too oh, they go get another

1897
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 2: one that's normally the home team that is up too low.

1898
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And and Jimmy Butler, I just think right now

1899
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 3: is just on a different level. He's he's drinking different

1900
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 3: gatorade than everybody else. He's eating different No, not at all,

1901
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 3: he's Coco five.

1902
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 2: No, he's not drinking out at all. He's eating a

1903
01:28:59,240 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 2: different bowler.

1904
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's easy a different bowler whaities than everybody else.

1905
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 3: And I think if if Boston were to go get

1906
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 3: one of these, then it would have to be like

1907
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 3: a heat letdown game. But you and I both already

1908
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 3: established this with them and the Nuggets. Neither one of

1909
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 3: these teams have had a let down bad game in.

1910
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 2: The whole postseason. So why would I think lost but

1911
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 2: never really?

1912
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 3: Look, look real talk, they could have They could have

1913
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 3: swept the Knicks. They could have swept the Knicks. Knicks

1914
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:32,759
Speaker 3: kind of closed that one game. They could have swept

1915
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 3: them if Jimmy Butler. Look, how about this.

1916
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 2: In the game the first round against Milwaukee, they said

1917
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 2: the Bucks did set an NBA playoff record for three

1918
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 2: pointers made in the game that they won, the game

1919
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 2: that New York won, Jimmy missed it. He didn't play.

1920
01:29:49,240 --> 01:29:49,720
Speaker 2: He didn't play.

1921
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 3: He was shopping on Madison Avenue probably, but he wasn't

1922
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:56,839
Speaker 3: out there. So you would have to tell me, Jimmy's

1923
01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:00,000
Speaker 3: just gonna be off. And he looks like a different

1924
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 3: just he looks like a different human being right now.

1925
01:30:03,640 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 3: Still Jimmy Butler, but so locked it. Remember the year

1926
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 3: Kobe had the scal Remember Kobe was walking around and

1927
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 3: then you hear these stories now where they talk about

1928
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 3: he didn't talk to anybody through the playoffs, like no personnel,

1929
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 3: no front office people. They said, he barely talked to

1930
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,640
Speaker 3: the coaches. He was just he was that zone in.

1931
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 3: When I watch Jimmy Butler sitting at that podium with

1932
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 3: that hoodie on the other night and he just goes,

1933
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 3: we don't care what you think and what y'all say.

1934
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:28,519
Speaker 2: We're gonna come out and still do us.

1935
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 3: When you see players, when you hear players talk like that,

1936
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 3: it's like, all right, he's locked in. He's not even

1937
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 3: looking at the reporter. He's staring straight answering the questions.

1938
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 3: Jimmy just looks like a different, locked in guy right now.

1939
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 2: Even on the.

1940
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 3: Court, when Grant Williams is talking track when he first

1941
01:30:43,560 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 3: started the talk trash, Jimmy gives him the smile, like

1942
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 3: thet you didn't see a lot because the way the

1943
01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:54,639
Speaker 3: director cut it right, the way the director was directing

1944
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 3: the game, He's like, Okay.

1945
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Obviously he's not gonna pay attention to the baseline alternation

1946
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,640
Speaker 2: of Jimmy Butler running back. But when you saw that

1947
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 2: in a commercial break, and Jimmy Butler gave him the

1948
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:09,679
Speaker 2: he gave him the Russell Russell Westbrook look of Pat

1949
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,280
Speaker 2: Bev trick y'all. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. The

1950
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:16,719
Speaker 2: Prescott like what what like He's like, yeah, wait a minute,

1951
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:17,799
Speaker 2: wait a minute.

1952
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:22,440
Speaker 3: So disrespectful, Oh so disrespectful.

1953
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 2: And and I loved every second of the way. He

1954
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 2: came out there like freaking Hulk Hogan in the w

1955
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 2: w F. He came out there like a wrestler who

1956
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 2: like the Ultimate Warriors, you name it. Whoever, I'm not,

1957
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what I'm talking about.

1958
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 2: He came out with Braggadocio, came out there, you know

1959
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. He's like, you know what, he came

1960
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 2: out here like, you know, I got one problem right here,

1961
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,759
Speaker 2: Mike checked one two one two, and anybody got an issue,

1962
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 2: come see me, because I'm Jimmy. That's the way you

1963
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:53,760
Speaker 2: feel me.

1964
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 3: Like bars Martin with the Mary with the bars every

1965
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 3: so often, are they doing are they doing between quarter

1966
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:02,759
Speaker 3: interviews with players, now.

1967
01:32:04,400 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 2: Wow and wild. Well, here's the thing. This is generally

1968
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:13,679
Speaker 2: the spot in which they would interview with coach exactly.

1969
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 3: There's no way I'm letting you talk to my player.

1970
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 3: There's no way in hell you're talking to my player.

1971
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 3: So just this is because we're on the radio right now.

1972
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 3: So Lisa, So it was in the between the break

1973
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,320
Speaker 3: of the first and second quarter right now what we're

1974
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 3: talking about.

1975
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior, for some reason, was sitting doing the

1976
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:35,880
Speaker 2: in between quarter interview that Lisa Salters was doing at

1977
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:38,559
Speaker 2: this time. Whoever is normally the the sideline reporter will

1978
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 2: sit and talk to but generally, and there's rules behind

1979
01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 2: it is generally I think it's the coach, right, first assistant. Well,

1980
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:48,759
Speaker 2: I'm trying to there's rules in terms of the game flow.

1981
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 2: Like so if I think if the Nuggets, that's what

1982
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 2: it is, the Nuggets, whoever's leading at the end of

1983
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:55,639
Speaker 2: the first quarter, that's who they talk to. Think whoever

1984
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 2: leading going into the fourth quarter, that's who they are.

1985
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 2: They rotated or something. I know, because you don't see

1986
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 2: the same guy on you don't see Greg Puppets being

1987
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:05,479
Speaker 2: interviewed back to back to back to back Tom and

1988
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 2: you know what, he can stand to be a little

1989
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 2: bit more professional. And now don't call that cute. Is

1990
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:12,519
Speaker 2: that's the man and woman's job to ask questions. It's

1991
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 2: his job to answer it. Anyway, that's beside the point.

1992
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 2: That is something that we're gonna have to get to

1993
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 2: the bottom of.

1994
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

1995
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 2: As we come on, maybe Brandon or Chris, our producers

1996
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 2: will see something as to why that was the case.

1997
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that before with a player?

1998
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 3: Not that is jumping to my brain right here, right

1999
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:32,160
Speaker 3: now at nine to fifteen Eastern time, And that's.

2000
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 2: The guy you grabbed. Well, Jamal's on fire right now.

2001
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 2: If you're gonna grab a player, it feels it just

2002
01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 2: feels like something weird just happened in that moment. But

2003
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 2: the point of the go ahead.

2004
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 5: I think they've I think I have seen them do

2005
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 5: like you know, player interviews going into halftime.

2006
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, going into halftime, that walk off is

2007
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:53,040
Speaker 3: almost always that's always going to be a player. In

2008
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 3: between the second quarter and the first quarter, in between

2009
01:33:55,600 --> 01:34:00,000
Speaker 3: the third and fourth quarter, generally that is a coach. Yeah,

2010
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 3: at halftime, in postgame, it's always a player.

2011
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:03,599
Speaker 8: Uh.

2012
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:07,599
Speaker 2: But to your point of Jamal Murray cooking, per Brandon

2013
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,800
Speaker 2: and per Jamal Murray's been out here killing it. He's

2014
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 2: got forty.

2015
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 3: Points Jamal Murray does in his last two quarters. He's

2016
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 3: eight a ten tonight right now, he's already got seventeen.

2017
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 3: So they don't have a guard. They don't have a

2018
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 3: perimeter player to guard him, and don't have why.

2019
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 2: This is why.

2020
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought that Memphis would give the Lakers

2021
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:32,599
Speaker 3: a lot more trouble because I didn't think they had

2022
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 3: the guys to stay in front of job or Box

2023
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 3: or obviously Steph.

2024
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:42,920
Speaker 2: But we'll see how this one goes. You got three

2025
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:45,720
Speaker 2: more quarters of this one left, two more periods in

2026
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 2: that hockey game right now in the Eastern Conference. Finally

2027
01:34:48,040 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 2: you got the Hurricanes up one nothing on the Panthers,

2028
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 2: and coming up next we'll get into oh, where is it?

2029
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 2: Where is it? I have it right here? What exactly

2030
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 2: could generationtional cost? Because apparently the price is going up?

2031
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:06,920
Speaker 2: Martin VJ, Fox Sports Radio. Martin and VJ coming to

2032
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:10,599
Speaker 2: you live from the tyrack dot Com Studios, Denver Nuggets

2033
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 2: forty four, Los Angeles Lakers thirty seven, Carolina Hurricanes won,

2034
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 2: Panthers none both of those games in the second quarter

2035
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 2: and period, respectively. Seven minutes left in the basketball, thirteen

2036
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 2: left in the hockey, as Nicola Jokics puts on a

2037
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 2: big man clinic just missed shortly off the front rim

2038
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 2: with Anthony Davis, who qualifies in this as well as

2039
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 2: one of the most hype prospects of all time, Anthony Davis.

2040
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,479
Speaker 2: He is one number one overall pick one eyebrow and

2041
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:45,800
Speaker 2: with the number one hype hyped guy coming out of

2042
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 2: Kentucky under John Calipari.

2043
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 3: Is anybody gonna guard Jamal Murray? Are you kidding me?

2044
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 3: I think the answer to that would be no.

2045
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 2: Wow. I think I'm looking at a forty point.

2046
01:35:57,360 --> 01:35:59,799
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here, I'm trying to talk about Victor win Binyam,

2047
01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 3: but Jabal Murray just keeps scoring buckets.

2048
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,160
Speaker 2: So that's that. I wonder if Draymond Green would have

2049
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 2: Jawal Murray on the list of people that he would

2050
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 2: trade for Victor web Bannona. Do we have that list?

2051
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 2: Maybe next time? All right? Anyway, Yeah, So the hype

2052
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 2: behind it is, like he said, Steph Lebron, there's some

2053
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 2: other names jokicch I think Yannis, but like That's part

2054
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 2: of the reason why people say that Victor Webbanana is

2055
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:32,360
Speaker 2: going to have to be a multiple time more than two,

2056
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 2: more than three time champion. When you're comparing him to

2057
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,280
Speaker 2: these guys and saying these are the guys you would

2058
01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 2: not trade for them right now?

2059
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think there's that's just so hard man,

2060
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 3: because of you know, we haven't seen the kid play yet. Man,

2061
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:47,320
Speaker 3: it's all this discussion of Victor. I'm the guys like, look, man,

2062
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 3: I gotta see this kid play. I don't know who

2063
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,840
Speaker 3: I'm trading for him. Let's get him there in San

2064
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 3: Antonio will Pot with their new five hundred million dollar

2065
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 3: training facility that just happens to open up this offseason,

2066
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 3: so you have a nice place to train there. God,

2067
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 3: who did Draymond say, I'm gonna lie let's hear it

2068
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 3: from that'dcaster and part time boxer Draymond Green.

2069
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:09,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how many, but there's definitely a few.

2070
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 4: Lebron wouldn't be, Steph wouldn't be. I don't think Luca

2071
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 4: would be, Joker wouldn't be, and I think there's a

2072
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:17,600
Speaker 4: few more names out there. So let's just say for

2073
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 4: the sake of standard roster spots four hundred and fifty

2074
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,760
Speaker 4: spots four thirty five for forty would be, which is

2075
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 4: saying a lot. It is.

2076
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 3: They're saying, literally, only ten players in the NBA are

2077
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 3: untomfortable for a guy who was literally never stepped foot

2078
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 3: on potent on an American basketball court, much less an NBA.

2079
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 3: But don't like that. That's stupid. I'm sorry, Draymond. That's dumb.

2080
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 3: That's dumb. That's you're not dumb. I'm not calling you dumb.

2081
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 3: What you just said was dumb, putting that out of stupid.

2082
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 3: So you're telling me there's only ten guys and not

2083
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 3: only ten, really, bro, maybe five or six that you

2084
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:56,120
Speaker 3: really think you went and trade for it? Man, Get

2085
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 3: out of here. That are you? So you think the

2086
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 3: Heat would trade Jimmy Butler right now for Victor This

2087
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:04,240
Speaker 3: is the type of these are the types of conversations

2088
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:06,360
Speaker 3: why I gotta have my guy Chris Bussard's back.

2089
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:08,599
Speaker 2: Y'all killed him. But this is the way that people

2090
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 2: are talking about dude, Like that's why that's why it

2091
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 2: ends up being like, yo, yeah, if you win two titles,

2092
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2093
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, because like right now, we're watching Jamal Murray.

2094
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray's all pays for a fifty point.

2095
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 2: Game right now, killing them right now. He's got twenty

2096
01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 2: six with five minutes and thirty seconds left in the

2097
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 2: second half. He's only missed two shots and the guy

2098
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 2: is sort of the six ' five. So that just

2099
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 2: goes to show you, el come here, Anthony Davis, come

2100
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 2: get that three point and you know what though, Marrin

2101
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:34,519
Speaker 2: or Victor, but just to the point.

2102
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we don't see this from a lot of guys.

2103
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm a back off a little bit once again. We

2104
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:43,800
Speaker 3: are in the era of social media and sports talk

2105
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:47,960
Speaker 3: where when people with the name and power and stroke

2106
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 3: of a pen are their fingers say something, we really

2107
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 3: do run with it. So saying greatest pro sports prospect

2108
01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 3: of all time, you are gonna get people that run

2109
01:39:01,080 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 3: with it.

2110
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 2: And we live in a clickbait nation.

2111
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:05,680
Speaker 3: So you say, if you're Draymond, you say this, and

2112
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:08,959
Speaker 3: guess what, Martin, How often have we talked about Draymond

2113
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 3: on Martin and VJ since we've had this show in

2114
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 3: October without it being about the Warriors of him punching

2115
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,560
Speaker 3: Jordan Poole. How many times has he come up and

2116
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 3: we played even his SoundBite, we played this.

2117
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 2: You want to know.

2118
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 3: Why because he set it off of you know, as

2119
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 3: you say, a lot of people that have seen him

2120
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 3: say he's undoubtedly the greatest team sports prospect of all time.

2121
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 3: So I'll back off a little bit because of that.

2122
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 3: But you're telling me that you wouldn't trade. You know,

2123
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 3: there's only five or six, maybe seven guys you don't trade.

2124
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 3: You think you think Denver trades for him right now

2125
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:46,639
Speaker 3: and gives up Jamal Murray, Our Jokic or Butler or Lebron,

2126
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 3: even Lebron right now Lebron's Oh, guys, let's just call

2127
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 3: it what it is. But I don't think you trade

2128
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:52,920
Speaker 3: for Victor right now. You don't do it for ad.

2129
01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 3: I don't think you do it for for uh Luca.

2130
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,560
Speaker 3: I don't think you do it for Booker, for Durant.

2131
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 3: Like guy, I'm almost at ten, I could keep going.

2132
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 3: He's a guy Tatum Brown. There's two more, and b

2133
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 3: there's another one. Janni's okay, I'm up to almost fifteen guys.

2134
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:10,559
Speaker 4: Brown.

2135
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 2: They've been trying to trade Jason Brown. I'm trying to

2136
01:40:13,880 --> 01:40:17,000
Speaker 2: figure out why. You know, to me, he's the dog

2137
01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:19,600
Speaker 2: of the team. I can't figure out exactly why the

2138
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 2: reason is, why the rationale is, but it doesn't change.

2139
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:26,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to move. They've been trying to get They've

2140
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 2: been trying to for whatever reason. That's been the story.

2141
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:30,519
Speaker 2: And let's break these two up.

2142
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 3: And I think it's you know, if you were forced

2143
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 3: to do it, and you're saying Martin Wiss is the

2144
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:36,680
Speaker 3: GM and you're being forced by the owner to do it,

2145
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:37,599
Speaker 3: who do you move?

2146
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:42,479
Speaker 2: Do you move Tatum or do you move Brown? Brown? Wow? Tatum?

2147
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:45,800
Speaker 2: To me, here's the thing. I gotta think about the

2148
01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:48,719
Speaker 2: thing about Jalen Brown, and I think he's a fine player.

2149
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:50,760
Speaker 2: This is not you're asking me which one do I

2150
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:52,679
Speaker 2: like better? Pizza or ice cream? I like them both

2151
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 2: a lot, you know what I'm saying. I got to

2152
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 2: pick one. But sometimes, you know, at noon, I probably

2153
01:40:57,040 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 2: had rather that pizza ed midnight scream. That's late for

2154
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 2: ice ice cream. If it's ninety eight degrees outside, it

2155
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 2: probably has an ice cream. If it's forty, it probably has.

2156
01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 2: The people. All depends on ice cream. It depends on

2157
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,400
Speaker 2: the scenario. And I tend to agree with what Chris

2158
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:17,799
Speaker 2: just said and that one, but I like Jason Tatum's

2159
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:21,719
Speaker 2: ability to handle the ball better than Jason Tatum projects

2160
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:24,760
Speaker 2: to me more of a he can get downhill I I.

2161
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 2: I like the way he dances with the ball a little.

2162
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:30,519
Speaker 2: He seems more confident with his handle than Jason, thing

2163
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 2: than Jason And then uh, okay, Jason TATUMUS meant chocolate chip.

2164
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 3: There you go, oh yeah, but I don't like minchell.

2165
01:41:37,040 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 3: I think that's one of the worst ice cream flavors

2166
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 3: of all time. Is one of the greatest anything anything

2167
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,639
Speaker 3: meant other than chewing gum to me, just or or mahido.

2168
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,599
Speaker 3: Anything other than chewing gum or mahido. You can keep

2169
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 3: the mint. You can keep them men. Seriously, why is

2170
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 3: it in food? Why is ment in food?

2171
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna severely disagree on this to the point that

2172
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna derail this for much longer than needs to be.

2173
01:41:58,040 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 2: If Steve de Seger's got stuff to update, I saw

2174
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 2: into the world as sports strawberry ice cream. Baby, Steve,

2175
01:42:02,160 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 2: what's going on with my guy?

2176
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,639

2181
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 6: go back to that great fourth quarter a couple nights ago,

2182
01:42:21,439 --> 01:42:24,240

Speaker 2: First step back to you, thanks Steve, and without further ado,

2222
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 2: let's get my guy in here. DEMARJ Morris, mlbbro dot

2223
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:31,880
Speaker 2: Com content reporter. You know, Steve, I gotta say that's

2224
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:34,240
Speaker 2: the first time I've ever heard the designation quarter and

2225
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:37,479
Speaker 2: a quarter and a half in terms of somebody scoring.

2226
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,759
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray going nuts right now. But let's get Demarja

2227
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:43,680
Speaker 2: in here right now. Talk a little baseball for the

2228
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 2: next couple minutes. Demarja. Right now, I'm looking at the

2229
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:49,719
Speaker 2: Cardinals and the Dodgers. Dodgers got runners on the corners

2230
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 2: in the top of the ninth inning, and Steve the

2231
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 2: segre just told everybody with Jason, hey, we're coming up

2232
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 2: to bat. Last night we saw James Autman make a

2233
01:44:56,439 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 2: crazy catch in the outfield the Dodgers rookie. But where

2234
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 2: are the car Dles headed to this year?

2235
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 3: Because they got off to uh an auspicious start, but

2236
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:06,840
Speaker 3: look like they're about to take two or three from

2237
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:07,559
Speaker 3: the Dodge right now.

2238
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 11: I wasn't worried about. Oh, I'm sorry. How you doing,

2239
01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 11: by the way, doing well?

2240
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:11,840
Speaker 2: My guy?

2241
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 1: Sorry?

2242
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 2: I got excited, Man, I got excited.

2243
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:16,680
Speaker 11: We got somebody else on? Or is that Mark? He

2244
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:17,640
Speaker 11: said somebody else's name is?

2245
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 2: It's just me and it's me and Vja Martin and Vja.

2246
01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, what's up Mark? How you doing? Brother?

2247
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 2: Doing well? Man? Doing well?

2248
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:25,040
Speaker 11: I wasn't.

2249
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 10: I was never worried about the Cardinals.

2250
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:28,719
Speaker 11: Offense was never the issue with him. It was always

2251
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 11: a pitching.

2252
01:45:29,520 --> 01:45:32,320
Speaker 10: I knew they would settled down eventually because they got talent.

2253
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:34,920
Speaker 10: They got talent in that rotation. We see Jack Clarty

2254
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 10: had a big out in his last time out, so

2255
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 10: hopefully he's the catalyst for them turning it around. But

2256
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 10: the brewer is better be careful because they're coming. They're

2257
01:45:42,160 --> 01:45:44,720
Speaker 10: only six games behind, and like I said, they got

2258
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:48,320
Speaker 10: one of the best offenses in the league. Gold Schmid Ornado.

2259
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 10: Look out for the Cardinals. They could do some damage.

2260
01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 2: So I was watching this game last night obviously with

2261
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,799
Speaker 2: the Dodgers lean I'm I'm a closet Tiger like Detroit

2262
01:45:56,880 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 2: Tigers and LA Dodgers fan because you know that's where

2263
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 2: I've lived, where I had baseball teams. I'll watch shame

2264
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 2: watch him out I watched James Outman make that ridiculous catch.

2265
01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:09,320
Speaker 2: He's the favorite right now for NL Rookie of the Year.

2266
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,800
Speaker 2: Do you think that he has it locked up? Or

2267
01:46:11,840 --> 01:46:13,800
Speaker 2: is there somebody I should be looking towards that I

2268
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 2: could maybe cash in on.

2269
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 10: Here nobody you can really cash in on as far

2270
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 10: as the odds, Corvin Carroll, you can make an argument

2271
01:46:22,560 --> 01:46:22,880
Speaker 10: for him.

2272
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 5: I like what he's doing.

2273
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 11: He's having a solid season with.

2274
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 10: The Diamondbacks, batting two sixty three, third on the team

2275
01:46:29,400 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 10: in home run so he's having a solid season. But

2276
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:32,080
Speaker 10: Autman is my.

2277
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 11: Rookie of the Year, nationally Rookie of the Year. How

2278
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:34,920
Speaker 11: can he not be.

2279
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 10: He's one of the main contributors on one of the

2280
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 10: best teams in the league.

2281
01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:40,799
Speaker 11: They suffered some lawsuit which.

2282
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 10: You would have thought might have set them back a

2283
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 10: little bit, But here this kid.

2284
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 11: Comes out of nowhere.

2285
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 10: He's tearing it up and if he keeps playing defense

2286
01:46:46,240 --> 01:46:48,480
Speaker 10: like that, they might have a gold globber on their hands.

2287
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:50,640
Speaker 2: My man, demorsay, what was going on? Brother? How you

2288
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 2: been man?

2289
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:52,880
Speaker 11: I'm good. I'm good, can't complain.

2290
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:54,400
Speaker 2: But all right, so you already know where I'm going.

2291
01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna start off with my Texas Rangers, because

2292
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 3: you I thought we had a friendship. He was really

2293
01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:00,000
Speaker 3: building something, and you kept him out of your top

2294
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 3: five last week and you put the Astros in that

2295
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 3: are two games behind. So the Rangers say at twenty

2296
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:06,960
Speaker 3: eight seventeen. But I want to ask you about my man, Seger.

2297
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 3: Sieger's back. Man goes three for four today, bet three sixty.

2298
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 3: I believe it is this year. Great picks up another

2299
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 3: win to they moved to four and one. But with

2300
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:16,519
Speaker 3: Sieger back, as soon as we get our our big

2301
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:19,800
Speaker 3: dog back at our number one flamethrower on the bump, Man,

2302
01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 3: do you think we can start to create some space

2303
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:26,200
Speaker 3: here in the in the Al West and second in

2304
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 3: the league right now? Plus run differential at ninety eight

2305
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 3: only behind the Rays. Give me some good give me

2306
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:33,719
Speaker 3: some good juice about my Rangers today playoff.

2307
01:47:35,800 --> 01:47:39,639
Speaker 10: I'm sorry to disappoint you again. Yeah, between the Angels,

2308
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 10: Astros and Rangers, I think it's gonna be close majority

2309
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 10: of the way. Knowing my Angels, we could fade out,

2310
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 10: but it's looking good so far, so I'm gonna keep

2311
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 10: I'm gonna keep faith. But I think it's gonna be

2312
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 10: close the rest of the way between the Rangers, Astros

2313
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 10: and Angels for that division. But I like, what the

2314
01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 10: what the what the Rangers are doing? Getting Sigret back

2315
01:47:57,000 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 10: Cat was huge. I saw Marcusimi and had a monster game.

2316
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 10: I mean, he's been doing his thing, so that's no surprise.

2317
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 10: But what about uh, what about finding Aaron Hicks? What

2318
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:07,040
Speaker 10: do you think about that?

2319
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 3: I actually did like that, and we'll wait this. I

2320
01:48:09,920 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 3: think it could pay off in the long run. And

2321
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 3: I think that's what the Rangers are building here. They'll

2322
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,519
Speaker 3: building for the long run. They've jumped out unexpectedly to

2323
01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:18,800
Speaker 3: a great record to start the year first place in

2324
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,040
Speaker 3: the Al Weston you mentioned your Angels. I don't know

2325
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:22,639
Speaker 3: what you're seeing and what you're talking about. And now

2326
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:26,080
Speaker 3: I know why you why you keep dogging my Rangers.

2327
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:28,280
Speaker 3: Now you you you've you've taken your mask off. Your

2328
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 3: mask has come off to Mars. You're an Angel guy.

2329
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 3: That's why you won't get my Rangers. No love player,

2330
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 3: but you're still my boy.

2331
01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 11: Appreciate man.

2332
01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 2: You know it's all love player. So you just mentioned

2333
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Hicks DFA obviously by the Yankees. Uh yeah, obviously

2334
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:46,640
Speaker 2: got You don't get DFA. We got up to a

2335
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 2: good start, right.

2336
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, got off to a terrible start of this season.

2337
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:52,920
Speaker 2: Do you think he'll be able to turn it around

2338
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:53,880
Speaker 2: for another team this year?

2339
01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:56,599
Speaker 11: I believe so has a lot of talent. Man, it's

2340
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 11: still a big bet.

2341
01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:59,600
Speaker 10: Just needs to change the scenery sometimes that's all the

2342
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:02,040
Speaker 10: guys changing scene, or a new coaching staff. Maybe they

2343
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 10: can help him make some tweets with a swing that

2344
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 10: the Yankees coaches you know, aren't able to connect with

2345
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 10: them on.

2346
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 11: So I think he could, though I don't think it's

2347
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:10,679
Speaker 11: over farm just yet.

2348
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 10: I mean, just signed that big extension with the Yankee

2349
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 10: So he just had good season a couple of years ago,

2350
01:49:15,080 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 10: so I don't think he fell off that quick.

2351
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:18,280
Speaker 11: He's just going through some things.

2352
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:20,920
Speaker 3: Tomar Jay, I want to go to my favorite player

2353
01:49:20,960 --> 01:49:24,960
Speaker 3: that Hey, my man, Aaron Judge. He's been hot, he's back,

2354
01:49:25,040 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 3: he's been doing this ding. So I ain't gonna hate

2355
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:29,880
Speaker 3: on that. But hey, me and Covino and rich over

2356
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,000
Speaker 3: here Fox Sports Radio had a little heated back and

2357
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 3: forth on Twitter about him glancing over before he bombed

2358
01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 3: a four hundred and thirty plus foot home run. And

2359
01:49:40,160 --> 01:49:42,599
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna call him a cheater stealing signs or whatever.

2360
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,160
Speaker 3: I get his baseball and stuff, but I just also

2361
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:46,400
Speaker 3: feel like, if.

2362
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:48,559
Speaker 2: You're the man, you ain't got to do all that. Bro,

2363
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:50,679
Speaker 2: throw what you're gonna throw. I'm gonna put it where

2364
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:51,360
Speaker 2: it needs to be.

2365
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 3: Just your thoughts on just that whole thing with him

2366
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 3: glancing over and it kind of being a big deal,

2367
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:59,680
Speaker 3: not a big deal, or just business as usual in

2368
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 3: bait ball, just.

2369
01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:02,439
Speaker 11: Business as usual.

2370
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:04,559
Speaker 10: If you're going to try and be sneaky and conceal

2371
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:06,320
Speaker 10: your pitches, I don't know if they you know, if

2372
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 10: they were accidentally tipping pitches and not realizing it, But

2373
01:50:09,080 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 10: if the other team's going to be able to pick

2374
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 10: up on something like that, tell them the confines of

2375
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:15,320
Speaker 10: the game. I don't see it as cheating or anything

2376
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 10: like that. And this is I don't think this happened

2377
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 10: to Judge ever. I think it's the first time they

2378
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:21,720
Speaker 10: caught his eyes glancing on the camera. Now they want

2379
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:22,040
Speaker 10: to make a.

2380
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:22,760
Speaker 11: Big dude out of it.

2381
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,800
Speaker 10: Dude just hit sixty two bombs last year.

2382
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 11: Like, come on, I don't think he needs a glance

2383
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,439
Speaker 11: or get you know, but if it's there, then take it. Yeah,

2384
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:30,680
Speaker 11: if it's there, then take it.

2385
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:35,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I I thought it was cheating. It's not. I

2386
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 2: thought it was cheating. It's not cheating if the other

2387
01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:39,280
Speaker 2: team is going to tell you what they're going to do.

2388
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:41,479
Speaker 2: If you're tipping your pitches, you're telling me what you're

2389
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 2: gonna do. A judge is a cheater. It's not cheating.

2390
01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,439
Speaker 2: If if every time they tie the end lines up

2391
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 2: on the right side, they run the ball to the right,

2392
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,639
Speaker 2: so you start to adjust your defense accordingly. I'm not here,

2393
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:54,920
Speaker 2: and judge is a cheater.

2394
01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 3: Don't don't, don't pay no attention, get into it.

2395
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 2: No attention to that mess. So what I do want

2396
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:03,280
Speaker 2: to talk about, though, is the some of this umpire.

2397
01:51:03,439 --> 01:51:03,599
Speaker 4: Right.

2398
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 2: So, we had Angel Hernandez long been the worst empire

2399
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:08,600
Speaker 2: in baseball. He's kind of been under the raidar this

2400
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 2: year because he hasn't been calling a lot of games.

2401
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 2: We seem phel cuzy. He was terrible the other day

2402
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:17,759
Speaker 2: in terms of balls and strikes and just missed missed,

2403
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:20,559
Speaker 2: uh you know, getting miss missing guys tagging the bag

2404
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:24,400
Speaker 2: just just missing calls that you're supposed to make, is

2405
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:27,280
Speaker 2: the answer to this robot umps? Or is it just

2406
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:30,200
Speaker 2: better umps? Because I kind of feel like it's just

2407
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:30,800
Speaker 2: be better.

2408
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:33,479
Speaker 11: I agree with you, just better ups.

2409
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 10: I'm not an advocate for the robots at all.

2410
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:37,000
Speaker 11: Majority of these umpires do a.

2411
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:39,439
Speaker 10: Great job, man, They're accurate, they make great calls. Things

2412
01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 10: are happening fast out there, so majority of them do

2413
01:51:42,080 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 10: a great job, amazing job.

2414
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 11: So not come on, man, who the manager is going

2415
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 11: to argue it? What they're gonna do?

2416
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 10: Run out on there and throw some dirt on the robot, like,

2417
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:49,840
Speaker 10: come on, we're gonna lose that.

2418
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 2: I want to see that though.

2419
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:54,439
Speaker 3: I want to see that, though, robocopple comes take that

2420
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:58,080
Speaker 3: manager by absolutely right? And you know one thing we've

2421
01:51:58,120 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 3: been robbed of truly truly great baseball arguments over the

2422
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 3: last few years with this instant replay foolishness. So you

2423
01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:09,160
Speaker 3: know what, you're absolutely right, that's your best take of

2424
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 3: the day.

2425
01:52:09,720 --> 01:52:12,840
Speaker 2: Who the umpire is gonna argue with the robot? Who exactly?

2426
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 2: You know what? DJ, that's how you look go push

2427
01:52:15,400 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 2: them over like.

2428
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,519
Speaker 3: Cauld You imagine a manager running out there is shoving

2429
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:21,240
Speaker 3: over the roby and taking a bat, taking a bat

2430
01:52:21,320 --> 01:52:23,719
Speaker 3: to the robot, and breaking the robot down.

2431
01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:24,800
Speaker 2: I need all of that.

2432
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:28,160
Speaker 10: They'll probably charge the manager a higher fine for damaging

2433
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,759
Speaker 10: the robots and actually putting hands on an umpire, right.

2434
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:32,840
Speaker 2: Probably right, Well, hey, you know the robot. You know

2435
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 2: they're gonna give you a couple of bad right. I'll

2436
01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 2: see some of these managers like bat Boy for the Yankees,

2437
01:52:39,040 --> 01:52:41,880
Speaker 2: John Snider for the Blue Jays, like they they ain't

2438
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:43,400
Speaker 2: got the wind to really go dog.

2439
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:45,400
Speaker 3: It'd be comedy if a manager ran out with a

2440
01:52:45,479 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 3: bat it took him bat to a robot. No, I

2441
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 3: mean that would be comedy, man, it WOULDJ Morris MLB

2442
01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:54,680
Speaker 3: bro dot Com content reporter, thanks for joining us, my guy,

2443
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:55,320

Speaker 11: Thanks many.

2446
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves has fourteen wins in the second quarter and

2447
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 2: the Lakers have comeback. Was an eleven to two run

2448
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,280
Speaker 2: in the last three minutes and forty two seconds to

2449
01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 2: tie this thing up at fifty five with twenty four

2450
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 2: seconds left in the second quarter. The hockey games tied

2451
01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 2: up Panthers and Hurricanes both at one. We'll have more

2452
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:17,639
Speaker 2: of that coming up next. Martin and VJ, Fox Sports

Speaker 2: Jamal Murray on the way third, Jamal Murray on the

2457
01:53:29,040 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 2: way to a historic game. I'll tell you what if

2458
01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 2: he matches anything like he did in the first half

2459
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 2: in the second half that record. I mean, he's on

2460
01:53:37,439 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 2: He's on page for sixteen points right now and he's

2461
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:43,400
Speaker 2: only missed seven shots. Thank you to the Altitude Radio Network.

Speaker 2: dot Com studios, Howard by Jamal Murray, Lauren have mercy. Yeah,

2468
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:03,639
Speaker 2: he's killing them right now.

2469
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 3: But the only thing I tell you what I don't

2470
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:07,679
Speaker 3: like about this first half for Diver is the fact

2471
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:09,360
Speaker 3: that he's done all of this and it's a three

2472
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 3: point game fifty eight to fifty five, and the Lakers

2473
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,280
Speaker 3: role players are playing well. As you mentioned, Austin Reeves

2474
01:54:14,320 --> 01:54:16,880
Speaker 3: had a great second quarter there. Ad is He's got

2475
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,240
Speaker 3: about three or four dunksman on cuts and put backs

2476
01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:21,880
Speaker 3: and getting the offensive rebounds. And Lebron is smart. He

2477
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 3: knows that, you know, his jumper is dead, his legs

2478
01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:26,479
Speaker 3: are dead. But on a fast break he could just

2479
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:28,920
Speaker 3: put his shoulder down and just you know, get to

2480
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:30,800
Speaker 3: the hooping and get layups. I think that maybe like

2481
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 3: three or four of his buckets are just lay up

2482
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:35,240
Speaker 3: type buckets. So but if I were the Nuggets, I

2483
01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:37,680
Speaker 3: would just be cautions in the second half. Just don't

2484
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 3: try to lead on Jamal. At some point, jokers got

2485
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 3: to get back on this. Yeah, at some point, Michael Carter, see,

2486
01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:45,720
Speaker 3: I haven't heard I haven't I haven't.

2487
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:46,839
Speaker 2: Even seen Calwell Pope.

2488
01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:49,200
Speaker 3: So at some point, these other guys it's like, Okay,

2489
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:51,360
Speaker 3: Jamal Murray carried you guys. It's still a close game.

2490
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 3: It's time for you guys to kind of you know,

2491
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 3: or search yourself. Let's go three off.

2492
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:55,760
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

2493
01:54:55,840 --> 01:55:00,560
Speaker 3: If the Nuggets are banana split, Jamal Murray's the whipped cream.

2494
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 2: I you know what I'm saying.

2495
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 3: Nicola Jokic is the banana. Nicola is the banana, Jamal

2496
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:12,800
Speaker 3: Murray is the whip cream. Don't get me wrong, It's

2497
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:17,280
Speaker 3: much better with both. Whoever, when you remove the banana. Yeah,

2498
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 3: but anyways, ice cream and whipped cream. At that point

2499
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 3: your web cream call it a whip cream split. For

2500
01:55:22,240 --> 01:55:25,120
Speaker 3: you know what, your whip creams got thirty and your

2501
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:29,920
Speaker 3: banana's got five. This is this type of situation again,

2502
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:38,080
Speaker 3: if you're looking, oh God, if you're looking at it

2503
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 3: under the gaze of how do the Lakers get back

2504
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:42,360
Speaker 3: in this thing?

2505
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 2: Great quarter? Right, great quarter, great second quarter? Great way

2506
01:55:47,600 --> 01:55:50,360
Speaker 2: to go about it. If you're looking at it as

2507
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:53,520
Speaker 2: how did the King steak I shouldn't say king steak kings,

2508
01:55:53,560 --> 01:55:56,600
Speaker 2: that's a confusing with sacrimental. How did the Nuggets stay

2509
01:55:56,640 --> 01:56:01,480
Speaker 2: on top? Well, you imagine, and Nicola Jokichu has put

2510
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:06,160
Speaker 2: together zip ziltz zero stinkers so far. This postseason ain't

2511
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 2: gonna start now. Well, that's an another thing too.

2512
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:11,080
Speaker 3: You just look at like I said, the role players,

2513
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 3: Porter Junior one or four, Gordon two or four, Calwell,

2514
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,360
Speaker 3: Pope only has three field goal attempts, so you would

2515
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:19,360
Speaker 3: you would think he wants to get the ball up

2516
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 3: a little more. Jamal Murris got twenty attempts. He's thirteen

2517
01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:24,160
Speaker 3: to twenty from the field, four eight from three.

2518
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,680
Speaker 2: Did they even feel like too much? No, not at all,

2519
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 2: not at all.

2520
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 3: He hasn't been to the free throw and also to

2521
01:56:28,800 --> 01:56:30,560
Speaker 3: the Lakers of doubling off in pre throw attempts. They

2522
01:56:30,600 --> 01:56:33,040
Speaker 3: got sixteen and the Nuggets only have eight. That would

2523
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:35,800
Speaker 3: have continued that they would finish with thirty two verse

2524
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:37,400
Speaker 3: sixteen attempts.

2525
01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 2: That's what I.

2526
01:56:40,520 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 3: And I didn't even have to do the air math.

2527
01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:44,400
Speaker 3: I didn't even have to do it in the air.

2528
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, I would just caution, you know, the way

2529
01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:51,120
Speaker 3: that they're going about the way they're moving the ball

2530
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:53,720
Speaker 3: around and running their offense. Joki just gotta kind of

2531
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,240
Speaker 3: assert himself here. And even if you look at on

2532
01:56:56,280 --> 01:56:58,560
Speaker 3: the side with the Lakers, you know Lebron four of AAD,

2533
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 3: six of eleven, Reeves has been the guy that you

2534
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 3: know that that third bus and you told you you

2535
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 3: called it.

2536
01:57:03,720 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 2: He's the third best player most nights, but you want

2537
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:09,440
Speaker 2: to see some other guys jump in about the third

2538
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 2: best players. Sometimes he's got to be the second best player.

2539
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:16,480
Speaker 3: Something to Vanderbilt once again started seven minutes D D

2540
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 3: Lo started nine minutes, Hugh Jamar, Hugh Tamara, who's j your mama?

2541
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:26,440
Speaker 3: Seventeen minutes, Schroeder eleven, Walker ten. If you're gonna do that,

2542
01:57:26,560 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 3: Darvin Ham, just start one of those other guys. You

2543
01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 3: gotta come, like, seriously, just start one of us. Have

2544
01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:34,560
Speaker 3: the conversation with D'Angelo Russell at halftime. Hey man, look

2545
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 3: it's not you, it's us. He might be he might

2546
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:39,840
Speaker 3: be lost already this whole don't want to bitch.

2547
01:57:40,120 --> 01:57:40,760
Speaker 2: We can lose him.

2548
01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:45,280
Speaker 3: He might be lost already, sohing that yeah, pro anyway,

2549
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm with you, oh dog, I'm one hundred percent with

2550
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:49,600
Speaker 3: you being a don't be a pro. Some with you

2551
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:53,000
Speaker 3: on that pro. Be a professional, be ready to play.

2552
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 2: It's your job. You could get traded, you know what

2553
01:57:55,040 --> 01:57:58,480
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Like, just think if Jared Vanderbilt and Malik

2554
01:57:58,520 --> 01:58:00,800
Speaker 2: Bees and all them weren't being pro as they got traded,

2555
01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:03,000
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, and weren't up to snuff.

2556
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:06,720
Speaker 2: This is the whole league, brother, But anyway, yeah, I

2557
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 2: Dangel Russell's got to sit and you know, really the

2558
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:14,760
Speaker 2: Nuggets put up a twelve to one assisted turnover ratio.

2559
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray has as many three pointers right now as

2560
01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 2: the entire Laker team. Well, here we are the others,

2561
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:27,200
Speaker 2: as Shaq would say, the non stars. Jamal Murray's at

2562
01:58:27,240 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 2: an All Star, but he's got you here right now. Yep.

2563
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:33,680
Speaker 3: This is a game in which if Nicole Yokich is

2564
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 3: who we say he is, he comes out offensively and

2565
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 3: takes this game over, especially with Anthony Davis already having

2566
01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 3: two fouls. Also turned the defense up too, gave up

2567
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:47,800
Speaker 3: thirty five points. These were very reminiscent of the seventy

2568
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:50,120
Speaker 3: two points that they gave up in the second half

2569
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 3: of Game one.

2570
01:58:50,840 --> 01:58:52,000
Speaker 2: Turned the defense back up.

2571
01:58:52,040 --> 01:58:54,400
Speaker 3: You gave up twenty points in the first quarter and

2572
01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 3: then thirty five points in the second as a fifteen

2573
01:58:57,120 --> 01:58:59,680
Speaker 3: point differential. And like I said, some of these lebron

2574
01:58:59,760 --> 01:59:01,960
Speaker 3: layer there's no resistance, so.

2575
01:59:01,880 --> 01:59:03,080
Speaker 2: No one is getting in the way.

2576
01:59:03,120 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 3: No one is sacrificing their body taking the charger an attempting

2577
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,480
Speaker 3: to block a shot. You can't trade baskets. That'd be

2578
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:10,720
Speaker 3: very dangerous to trade baskets.

2579
01:59:10,800 --> 01:59:12,200
Speaker 2: Lakers winning this is two to one.

2580
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:15,880
Speaker 3: Hey, Monday night, it gets real tight because you don't

2581
01:59:15,880 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 3: want to go back to I wouldn't want to go

2582
01:59:18,200 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 3: back to the Malehai up, you know, tied to too,

2583
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:22,440
Speaker 3: because then I know I got to come back to LA.

2584
01:59:22,960 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 2: If you can get this win to night, do not

2585
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:25,640
Speaker 2: waste this effort.

2586
01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:28,080
Speaker 3: But with this feels like it could be like how

2587
01:59:28,080 --> 01:59:30,880
Speaker 3: the Lakers wasted ades forty points in Game one, Martin.
