Bam, It's me Jason McIntyre. 3 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Wednesday, April the ninth. I'm losing track 4 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 2: of what day it is, Folks, getting a little worn down. 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: It's only the middle of the week. Between the travel 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 2: over the weekend, upcoming spring break, hosting the Herd, doing 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: the podcast. It is getting tiring for your boy, That's okay. 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: The good news is there's tons and I mean freaking 9 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: tons of content. Today we will address the stunning firing 10 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: of Michael malone of the Denver Nuggets. S guy wins 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 2: a title less than two years ago and he gets 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: run along with the GM. I did think all the 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: Yokic Where's Yokic gonna land the Lakers? Like? I thought 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: all that stuff was total nonsense. I will not address 15 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: any of it. There's no way on earth the Jokic 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: is leaving. Why would they trade him? That's lunacy. Stop 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: you think Jokic is going to ask out of Denver? 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: Get real? Get a clue? Obviously. The Knick Celtics thriller 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 2: from last Night at the Garden another brutal loss for 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 2: the Knicks, who cannot absolutely cannot beat the elite teams. 21 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: And yes, the Celtics had it. Looks like everybody. Yeah, 22 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: I think all their guys played. Jason Tatum had a 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 2: big time clutch through with two seconds left. I don't 24 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: know why the Knicks didn't fell Tatum finishes with thirty two, 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 2: Porzingis at thirty four. I just devastating loss for the 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: next Jayalen Brown was back. They look good. Kat had 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: a great game. Brunson had a good game and just 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: lost another close one to the Celtics. It's not a 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: great matchup. I don't know what to say, Like the 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: Celtics really really wanted that game. Tatum played forty eight 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: of fifty three minutes. That's insane. Tibbs didn't even play 32 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: his guys that long, except for Josh Hart, who played 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: until he fouled out, because you know, as Josh Hard, 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: he's indefatigable. And then, of course I think I got 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: a start with OKAC one thirty six Lakers one twenty. 36 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: So I saw the note yesterday early from the Lakers 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: beat writer Dave mcmanhamon that a lot of the Lakers 38 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 2: were listed as questionable are out ruy Hachimorro is not 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: going to play blah blah blah, And I was like, oh, 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: that makes sense. The Lakers have it back to back 41 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: with Dallas, you might as well rest some of your horses, 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: right you already got the winning okasee, just get out 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 2: of dodge and JJ Reddick said no, I'm gonna play 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: my guys. And it was a hell of a game 45 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: until they were about eight minutes left. The Lakers fought 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: tooth and nail, which is actually stunning. Usually if you 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: treated this these two games like it was the first 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: two games of a playoff series. Lakers come in and 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: just shock Okac with three point shooting on Sunday, right 50 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: then obviously you bet the bounce back. I didn't bet 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: this game, but I thought, okay, okay, see is definitely 52 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: faux show gonna show up. They're not going to roll 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: over and get destroyed. Well, the Lakers fought hard. Luka 54 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: Doncic once again is unguardable against his team. They have 55 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: no answer for Luca. Austin Reeves was having a great game. 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: He kind of wore down there in the fourth quarter. 57 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: Lebron was having a very good game. Lakers were playing 58 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: great and I got to get the exact timing right. 59 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: I wrote it down here. So the Lakers are up 60 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: one oh eight to one oh seven, with seven point 61 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: forty left. Luca drives in the lane. He puts Hart 62 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: and Stein in a blender heart and See's got his 63 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: hands all over him. He's like grabbing him up like 64 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: a seventh grader and spin the bottle and Luca scores, 65 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: you know, beautiful little tear drop bounces in and then 66 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: Luca turns to the crowd and points at this fan 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: and says something. It just so happened that Luca, who 68 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: already had a technical, was talking to the fan, and 69 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: the referee was between Luca and the fan. Luca was 70 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: doing it from like, I don't know, maybe somewhere between 71 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: the elbow and the logo, and he turns to point 72 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: at the guy and says something, and then the ref 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: who happened to be right in the line, blows the whistle, 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: thical you're out, okay, and Luca loses his mind. Lebron 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: on the court is like, what are you talking about? 76 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: He's talking to that fan and apparently this fan I 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: have his name here somewhere. He is like one of 78 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: these super fans from OKC, and. 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: It was. 80 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, very clear that Luca and this guy 81 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 2: have had an ongoing dialogue throughout the season, and anytime 82 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: he goes there, whether it's he's with Dallas or the Lakers, 83 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 2: he's always always talking to this guy. Because this guy's relentless. 84 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: He's like the second row guy. He's got all these tattoos. 85 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: He's like one of these super fans. Right. So the 86 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 2: referee jects Luca, and afterward the referee was asked, why 87 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: was Luca assessed his first technical foul by jt Or? 88 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: And he goes directed profanit at the official. Why was 89 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: Luca assessed his second technical by jt Or? The same 90 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: guy tied him up twice. He looked directly at an 91 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 2: official and used vulgar language. The fan was directly behind 92 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: the ref. You could call it unlucky. You could say 93 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: this guy had it out for Luca. He was trying 94 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: to prove a point. You could get a little more 95 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: sinister if you want, and say, listen, the league couldn't 96 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: have the Lakers sweeping Oka. See here, that's that's that's 97 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: a bridge too far, but it's fun to say. And 98 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: then here's the worst part. So Luca gets tossed and 99 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: then within the next like minute, Alex Caruso drives and 100 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: Jared Vanderbilt swats his shot into like Austin, Texas. Okay, 101 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: and Vando is like, you know, still right up on 102 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: Caruso and kind of mean mugs him, doesn't say anything, 103 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: and he gets a technical foul for stepping towards and 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: verbally taunting a player while the ball was dead. Again, 105 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: Vando did not say anything. The cameras right on him, 106 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: his lips don't move, He's just like growling, and he 107 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: got a technical and the Lakers melted down after that. 108 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: Okac twin d nine to twelve run and that was that. 109 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: But Folks, is jt or fellow. He better not yet 110 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: any Laker playoff games. Nobody wants to see this clown. 111 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: We're not here to see you, We're here to see 112 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: the stars. Okay. Now the loss is significant for the Lakers. 113 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: Houston has officially clinched the number two seed. The Lakers, 114 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 2: the best they can do is three. They need to 115 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 2: go two and one over the final three games to 116 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: lock it in, and they have I think the tiebreaker 117 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: over all the other teams that are chasing them, including 118 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: the Warriors thanks to the Anthony Davis run. And I 119 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: just I come away from this game, folks, there is 120 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: no doubt in my mind that the Lakers are beating 121 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: the Thunder in a series. And it's not because of 122 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: a regular season game. It's simply because the Lakers have 123 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: the two best players on the floor. Yes, I know 124 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: Sga went for forty two. Y had a we had 125 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: a good game. Let me see. Yeah, he got to 126 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: the foul line eleven times too, so after getting the 127 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 2: foul line zero times, he bounced back. Listen. Sga is 128 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 2: a great player. He's a phenomenal talent. He's a top 129 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: five player in the league. This year. He's right there 130 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: neck and neck for the MVP. I'm not taking anything 131 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: away from him. That being said, the Lakers are not 132 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: afraid of him. I thought Vanderbilt did a solid job. 133 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: And I know that sounds tough to stomach when you 134 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: say did the guy had forty two in the moments 135 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: in the second half where it was closed. I thought 136 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: Vando did a good job. Yes, obviously the Lakers are 137 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: gonna need to rotate guys like Goodwin, who's twitchy Van Doh. 138 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: You know I suppose Austin Reeves is going to get 139 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: that assignment. I think Dorian Finney Smith's length will give 140 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: him problems. I noticed they put Dorian Finny Smith on 141 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: Steph Curry last week. The Lakers have options and in 142 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: a pinch, listen, yeah, they're gonna attack. SGA's gonna call 143 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 2: for Luca on the on the screens and they're gonna attack. 144 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: Lakers did a good job clogging the lane today. The 145 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: Thunder made their threes eighteen to thirty seven. Lakers were 146 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: eighteen to forty. But ultimately it was the ejection for 147 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: Luka Doncis that ruined the game. And I can't blame Luca. 148 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: I know he's a fiery competitor. I'm almost certain this 149 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: technical will be rescinded and Luca's not going to have 150 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: you know, this one on the books for him. I 151 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 2: thought it was just kind of incomprehensible that in a 152 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: close scrape game between two teams you would eject a 153 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: superstar player like that for thinking that it possibly was 154 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: at you. It is, it's just disrespectful. I mean, I 155 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: still can't believe it. Yeah, here's Jared Vanderbilt. He said 156 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: that when Luca picked up his first technical foul. Jt 157 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: Or said he would talk to anybody on the Lakers 158 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: except Luca, and Vanderbilt believes that the text Luca received 159 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: were personal. Now, I don't know jt Or at all. 160 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: I would assume we're going to have Laker fans overnight 161 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: diving deep into the Luka Doncich hate and this is 162 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: not going anywhere anytime soon. This Laker team is a 163 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: major problem. They are cresting right now as we head 164 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: into the playoffs. They do have a big one tonight 165 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 2: against Dallas. It's a back to back. Lebron played thirty 166 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: five minutes, Luca played thirty one due to the ejection. 167 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: Austin reeves they're gonna need somebody or somebody's on the 168 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: bench to step up against the MAVs because obviously you 169 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: don't want to lose this game. Although the final two 170 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: are Houston, which could be resting guys since Sarah locked 171 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: into the two, and then Portland, which has been frisky 172 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: here the last two months. Nobody's noticed because they're one 173 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 2: of the worst teams in the league. But those will 174 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 2: not be easy. You want to get this one so 175 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: you can split one of the last two and lock 176 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: up that three seed. Now, who's going to be the 177 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: sixth seed? Is interesting because the Warriors beat the Suns, 178 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: still know Kevin Durant and Denver is dealing with a 179 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: fired coach who I'll get to second a second. 180 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 181 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: the nation.

I'm a Knicks fan follow 186 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: the team closely. The Knicks had a bad loss man 187 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: and my hot take is I would not be surprised 188 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: if if they lose in the second round to the 189 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: Boston Celtics, which I'm sorry to say, they're gonna be 190 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: heavy underdogs. I would not be shocked if they ran 191 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: Thibodeau out of town and they went after Michael Malone 192 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: of the Denver Nuggets. Michael Malone is on the market 193 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: after he was fired. Again. I'll get to that shortly, 194 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: But for whatever reason, Thibodeau and the Knicks this year 195 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: are owen nine oh and nine against the Celtics Cabs 196 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: in thunder oh and nine like that, is he just 197 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: came win the big game. I mean they let they 198 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: let Tatum cross up and step back into it a 199 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: three with two seconds left. Why don't you foul them? 200 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 2: Why do would when you're up by three? It makes 201 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: sense to foul that smart basketball TIBs. I don't know. 202 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: I have no idea what he was thinking. And I 203 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: just I don't feel optimistic against the Celtics in the 204 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: second round. Now, if the Knicks were playing the Calves, 205 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: they might have a chance, but they're not. They're not. 206 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: Calves have the number one seed locked up. I love 207 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 2: how this Knicks team is built. I thought they were 208 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: built to hang with the Celtics. I just I'm not 209 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: seeing it. In every big spot against Boston they come 210 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: up short. It is they just you know, the Knicks 211 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: are really good on the wings with Og and Bridges. 212 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: The Celtics are better with Tatum and Brown. You know, 213 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: the Knicks have a great from big stretch four, stretch five, 214 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 2: whatever you want to call towns. Well, the Celtics have 215 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 2: one who's sadly just as good in Porzingis, who, by 216 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: the way, hit eight threes. Eight threes for Porzingis Carling 217 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: Antony Town's one of three from deep. So like, I 218 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: just don't know that the Knicks can take down the Celtics, 219 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 2: And I think Michael Malone. Now you can't call him Mike. 220 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: He gets very upset if you call him Mike Malone. 221 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: But could he come in and chain the fortunes to 222 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: the next I don't know. He likes to play veterans. 223 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: He doesn't like to play young guys. The Knicks don't 224 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 2: really have any young guy. They've got a bunch of veterans. 225 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: That would be very interesting if Malone takes the Nick's job. 226 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: By the way, I'm looking at the season series. Celtics 227 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: win by two. Last night, they won by thirteen. In 228 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: February they won by twenty seven Super Bowl weekend, and 229 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 2: back in October they won by twenty three. So yeah, 230 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: the Knicks are not total. I thought early in the season, okay, 231 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: we got to work out the Kings by the end 232 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: of the season and listen, this was their best effort 233 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 2: against Boston, no doubt, But Nicks have some work to 234 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: do in the playoffs. Faux shizzle. I got to talk 235 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: about this Michael Malone stuff. Man, this is crazy. So 236 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 2: Michael Malone, we know, is a fiery combative coach. I 237 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: love his personality. I do as an outsider, what I 238 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: want to deal with that crap every day? Hell no, 239 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 2: I can only imagine how he wears teams down. It's 240 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: specifically his own team. And there's a video from after 241 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: the Pacers loss where Malone just goes off and it's like, 242 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: you know, these guys don't want to listen for shit. 243 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: You try to get him to watch film. Nobody wants 244 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: to watch film. None of my guys want to watch film. 245 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: He just went off on his players. And is he wrong? 246 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: I don't do they? I don't know. Now who's he 247 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: talking about? Is more specific? Now here are the things 248 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: we know. As soon as the firing became true, every 249 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: single reporter was like, well, we know there was acrimony 250 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: between Michael Malone and the GM Calvin Booth, who also 251 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 2: got fired. And I'm like, okay, every reporter saying it, 252 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: why didn't you say there's beef like a month two 253 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: month through month? Where were your earlier reports? Or are 254 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: you guys just all piggybacking and guessing? And somebody sent 255 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: me would you believe it? Zach Lowe back in October 256 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: had an interesting take that there were issues between the 257 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 2: front office and the head coach not seeing eye to eye. Now, 258 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: this was in September. Okay Low ended up getting unceremoniously 259 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: fired by ESPN like three weeks later. Meanwhile, he's so 260 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: good at his job covering the NBA that he was 261 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: dropping hints like this back in September. Now. Ramona Shelburne 262 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 2: followed up with an article in November, What are September November, 263 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: guys football months? Do you think anybody's really paying attention 264 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: to the inner workings of the NBA. I love the NBA, 265 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: and it is football season, college and pro. Yeah, I'll 266 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: go to Laker games. I'll watch Laker games, but I'm 267 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: not checking out what's happening inside the Denver Nuggets in September, 268 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: that's for sure. And Ramona Shelburn's article was excellent talking 269 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: about how essentially Michael Malone doesn't want to play young guys, 270 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: he doesn't trust them. They had two really talented young 271 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: guys on their roster that they've been that the GM 272 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: loves right, Peyton Watson, who played out here at UCLA, 273 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: and Julian Strawther, a Gonzaga guy. Both of them are 274 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: dripping with talent. Malone doesn't trust them. They played almost 275 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: I don't even know if they played at all in 276 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: the postseason last year, but it was if they did, 277 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: it was very minimal. And the reason he doesn't trust 278 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: them is, you know, they don't lock in on defense. 279 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: They don't. They're just not high IQ players because they're 280 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: like twenty one years old, twenty two, twenty three. He 281 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: wants veterans, so that's why when Yoki said, oh, at me, 282 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook, Malone's like, hell yeah, that's a veteran who 283 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: goes hard all the time. And know he's he's a veteran, 284 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: he's been in playoff battles. I trust him. So then 285 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: the problem became, well, Malone is driving his veterans into 286 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: the ground. Jokich is played. Let me see here. Yokich 287 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: has played the most minutes per game in his career 288 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: this year. Jamal Murray has played the most minutes per 289 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: game in his career. This year. Jokich has the second 290 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: highest usage rate of his career. The highest was when 291 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: Jamal Murray was out for the entire season. They're having 292 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: oh Yo Kich is having a phenomenal season. But Malone 293 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: just like Thibodeau in New York just wants to ride 294 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: his guys. Well, what does Calvin Booth the GM say, Dude, 295 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: I've got these young guys, you got to play them. 296 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: Calvin Booth liked what he saw from Zeke Naj. I 297 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: don't know if you guys remember he had a couple 298 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: of coffee at Arizona with the Wildcats, and then he 299 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: got overdrafted because he's a measurables and all that fun stuff. 300 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: And he had one good season off the bench for 301 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: Denver and then the GM gave him a thirty two 302 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: million dollar extension. Zeke Naj, mister thirty two million dollar 303 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: extension played fourteen minutes in the playoffs last year. Two 304 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: rounds he played fourteen minutes. That shows you there's a disconnect. 305 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: The GM likes Zeke Naj, likes Julian Strauther, likes Peyton Watson, 306 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: thinks they can add something. Christian Brown is the other one, 307 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: but he's broken through and Malone plays him, and then 308 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: Malone says, I just want the veterans. I don't want 309 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: these young guys. Well, that doesn't work, not when Aaron 310 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: Gordon's injured, not when Michael Porter Junior's not playing. 311 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: Defense Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 312 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: the nation.

And you know, there is 316 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 2: a bit of a parallel here. I'm sure you guys 317 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: remember the Warriors dynasty. They were looking good, running hot, 318 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 2: and then they lucked into when Curry was injured that season. 319 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: One of the top five, I think it was two 320 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 2: or three in the draft, one of the top five picks, 321 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: and they settled on James Wiseman. Now that draft was 322 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: a bit of a poop show. I'm going to rattle 323 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 2: off some of the other guys who went high. Patrick 324 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 2: Williams four of the Bulls, he's done nothing, Isaacaccorro five 325 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 2: to Cleveland. He's just a wing. Okongwu, who I liked 326 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: a lot, went to Atlanta. He plays and puts up numbers, 327 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 2: but they're not winning anything. Killy and Hayes. Please don't 328 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 2: mention him to any Pistons fan. Obi Toppin, who was 329 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: good with the Knicks down solid with the Pacers. Rotational guy, 330 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 2: Denny IV who's on his second team. Wing Jalen Smith Boston, Phoenix, 331 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 2: a Devin Vassel shooter in San Antonio. Now, the one 332 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: guy that nobody would have had was Tyrese Halliburton, who 333 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: went twelve to the Kings, ended up getting traded for Sabonis, Yes, 334 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 2: Sibonis to the Pacers. So ultimately that James Wiseman pick 335 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: to Golden State. The next year they got Jonathan Kuming 336 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: I believe. And that's when there was the whole quote 337 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: unquote two timelines. We've got Draymond Currie and Clay who 338 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 2: are aging. We've got Wiseman and Kuminga who have next 339 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: They're going to be so good. That was that was 340 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: the thought, how do we merge those two timelines? And 341 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: wouldn't you know what, it didn't work, and Bob Myers said, 342 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 2: I I would rather quit walk away than be the 343 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 2: guy who dumps Clay Thompson, And so Bob Myers leaves 344 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: he and up going to ESPN. I believe. I think 345 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 2: he's an ESPN guy. And we're talking about a guy 346 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: who would rather quit than trade Klay Thompson, which is 347 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 2: kind of sort of where Calvin Booth is right now 348 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: in Denver. What the hell do I do Jamal Murray's hurt. 349 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,479 Speaker 2: We've got these young guys who I like, but the 350 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 2: coach doesn't want to play them. Steve Kerr, I don't think, 351 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 2: was totally anti Weiseman, but he's like, dude, we got 352 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: to win games. We got Steph Curry, well you got Yokit. 353 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 2: You got to win games, and it's very difficult to do. 354 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 2: I don't want to say that balance is impossible, but 355 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: it's very clear that it is super difficult in the NBA. 356 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 2: You guys know, Lebron don't like young guys. You don't 357 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: want to play with the with the young pups. He 358 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 2: knows you can't win being young in this league. And 359 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: my guess is that that Game seven loss to Minnesota 360 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: where they were at home and they were up twenty 361 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: in the second half and they blew it, that was 362 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 2: the beginning of the end. And this season has just 363 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: not gone the way they wanted. When your fifth highest 364 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 2: played player is basically your coach doesn't want to play him, 365 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 2: you know there's a major disconnect. I saw it being 366 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 2: called the most stunning firing in NBA history, and I mean, 367 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: I would listen to other candidates, but again, the playoffs 368 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 2: start in like ten days. The Nuggets were fourth in 369 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: the West when this happened. They won a title less 370 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: than two years ago. He'd been there ten years. I mean, 371 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: that is just stunning on so many levels that Yeah, 372 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised that it's being considered one of the 373 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: most stunning firings ever. I don't know what this means 374 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 2: for the Nuggets going forward. I do know this, You 375 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: sure as you sure as hell can bank that they're 376 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: going to play these young guys here in the coming 377 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: week ahead of the playoffs and probably in the playoffs too. 378 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: They've got to assess everything. Now, is that a good job? 379 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: I think at some point you've got to look and say, listen, man, 380 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 2: did they have to lose Bruce Brown off the bench? 381 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: Did they have to lose KCP Jeff Green? Was all 382 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 2: that because the owner didn't want to play the luxury 383 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: tax And yeah, I had to move off those guys 384 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 2: to pay Michael Porter junior. Well that removed the depth 385 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: that Michael Malone had on his bench. And next thing 386 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: you know, he doesn't want to play the young guys 387 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 2: and he's riding five dudes and it's like, oh, well, 388 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: that's not it bad. He's riding his five best players 389 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: all the time they're getting run into the ground. He 390 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: actually came out and said, I don't even know if 391 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: Jamal Murray is going to be able to play for 392 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: us this season in the playoffs, which is huge. All 393 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: of a sudden, now it's like, oh, I'm not afraid 394 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: to face the Nuggets. Jamal Murray ain't gonna play. Are 395 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: you kidding me? 396 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: Wow? 397 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: So NBA is just getting absolutely bonkers. Let me see 398 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: who the Nuggets play. So Lakers MAVs tonight is spicy. 399 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: The oh Nuggets at Kings. Kings are currently in the 400 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: play in. Let's see here Sacramento. So the play and 401 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: looks like it will be Dallas and Sacramento. Yeah, it'll 402 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 2: be Dallas and Sacramento for the for the nine for 403 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: the eight, I'm sorry, nine to ten is Sacramento Dallas. 404 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: The winner of that will play the loser of Timberwolves. 405 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 2: Somebody I saw this. I wasn't watching this game because 406 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: the NBA was crazy last night. Minnesota gave up a 407 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 2: thirty four to three run to the Milwaukee Bucks and lost. 408 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: That's a damaging blow. Really pushes the Timberwolves back even further. 409 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: I mean listen. The Lakers could be three, they could 410 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 2: be they could be six or seven. It's crazy. We 411 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: need to find out. The Clippers are getting hot at 412 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: the right time. I don't think anybody's afraid of the Grizzlies, 413 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 2: but man so the Rockets. If they they could end 414 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: up facing Minnesota or Golden State in the first round, 415 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: that's crazy. They could face the Clippers. I think Clippers 416 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: probably win that series. NBA is getting really, really good folks, 417 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: really good. 418 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: Now. 419 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 2: I'm hoping we could get an NFL guest tomorrow because 420 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: there's so much Shadour Sam stuff floating around. It's crazy. 421 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: Like the Browns are kicking the tires on five quarterbacks. 422 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: They I guess you have thirty official visits you can use. 423 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: The Browns have done, have done five. They're taking a quarterback. 424 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: The question is do they do it at two? Do 425 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: they do it at thirty three? Do they package picks 426 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: to get back in later in the first round? That 427 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: seems to be popular with frequent guests of the Pod TA. 428 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's all it's all in play, and I'm 429 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 2: just so thankful and lucky as hell to have this job. 430 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: You guys know, I hoop Although I haven't hooped in 431 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: like five weeks because of the injury. And so many 432 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 2: guys are like, dude, you're living the dream. You got 433 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: the best job, and sometimes you don't think about that, 434 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: and then when you actually take the time to think, 435 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: you're like, man, I'm lucky as shit. Oh my gosh, 436 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: I gotta talk about Luka Doncic getting ejected. That's fun. 437 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: I'm fortunate. All right, Let's have fun tomorrow. Talk to 438 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: you then.
