It 27 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: was great. Come on, dog, I was great. I was 28 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: so happy I went. I'm dead serious. Well, thank you 29 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: for being a friend.

Like all these traveling play these 34 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: places are increasing things like wow, that's really Do you 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: want to live there? No? I don't. I've lived other places. 36 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: I've lived other places, some great other places, right, Like 37 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 1: do I pick one or the other? Like, no chance 38 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm living anywhere else. But you know what, Doug, I 39 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: think that if most Americans travel internationally and I'm not 40 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: trying to sound like a snob, I'm not, I think 41 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: they'd have a better appreciation of what they have. They 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: just don't know what life is like for most people 43 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: in the world, and it's a hard life for most people. 44 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: And the stuff we take for granted. I really believe that. 45 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I mean, as as someone who's seen it all and 46 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, been to Morocco and places like that and 47 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: see people drink having to drink already water and all 48 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, I just you would be more thankful. 49 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just don't know. And I think, listen, I mean, 50 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: like I've been blown away by can I've been in Canada. 51 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: It's Canada's amazing country, great people, great people, some of 52 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: the greatest people. But cold, quite, it's miserable. It's Vancouver's 53 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: not as cold as the rest. Not every area is 54 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: as as cold. And like, look, if you're if you're 55 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: into the cold stuff, like it's great. Like that's a 56 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: that's a very close one. B or maybe maybe two A. Right, 57 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: But I just I enjoy our country and our weather 58 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: in our way of doing things. There's anyway. Today is 59 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: a day in which we im moralize those who have 60 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: allowed us the ability to be complete idiots and talk 61 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: sports on the radio and get and get paid for it. 62 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: Right like this, if you kind of if you do 63 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: the butterfly effect, if not for those brave men on 64 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: D Day, if not for you know, pick the guy 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: or the woman who picked up a gun when we 66 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: didn't have to, not for you, for those people that 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: fall in. We're out of here, so thank you. That's 68 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: in your family. Do you have military history? Are people 69 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: serving dog Coast Guard? You know? Uh? Merchant Marine Academy. Um, 70 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,559 Speaker 1: you know my dad and brother were ter our veteran 71 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, my dad was a veteran, not alive anymore, 72 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: and my brother's a veteran. But they served. I did 73 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: not serve. Yeah, it's it's I mean, what it takes inside. 74 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: I don't. I love my country, I love my family. 75 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I have that if if if called 76 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: I guess, if called upon, you just go right. That 77 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: was the whole thing, and you just went you just 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: did it anyway. Um, let's let's talk some sports. The 79 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: Lakers lose yesterday, and with all of the stories like 80 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: look the Kyrie and the Kyrie getting the bottle thrown 81 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: at him and and and smushing the face of the 82 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: leper coun obviously there's some ugliness there. But I think 83 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: everyone knew the Nets are going to beat the Celtics, right, 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: It's not surprise. There's some other very good series Portland 85 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: and Denver's a very good series, the Bucks molly wopping 86 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: the heat and the heat culture going out and getting 87 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: swept four games to none like that, that's a surprise. 88 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: But Rob, I don't think I'm speaking out of turn. 89 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: After the Game three performance, it was like the regular 90 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: season means nothing. The Lakers are clearly not only the 91 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: better team, but probably the best team in the West. 92 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: Like this thing was a rap. And then something screwy happened. 93 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: Chris Paul looks magically, healed right, like he went into 94 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,799 Speaker 1: like he went into the locker room in the valley 95 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: and mister Miyagi did that rub his hands together and 96 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: put his chee in him thing, you know, you know, 97 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: because he was so ineffective prior to this. It was 98 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: it was like how because everybody thought Doug he should 99 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: have taken the game off or so, you know what 100 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean, to try to get fully healthy. And he 101 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 1: played through it. But all of a sudden he looked 102 00:05:54,200 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: like Chris Paul. He did and then and then and 103 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis goes down with injury, and now all of 104 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Lakers, who what what was a Hey? 105 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: How quickly can we get this series over with? Can 106 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: we get this thing over in five so we can 107 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: go get rested too. They're gonna be lucky to get 108 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: out of the series. How big a how big a 109 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: trouble do you think they're in? I think they're in 110 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: huge trouble. I just the injury situation. I never felt like, 111 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: uh wasn't going to reappear for the Lakers because of 112 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis's history and Lebron's age, Lebron James's age. I 113 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: thought a lot of stuff had to go right for them. 114 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: H Kyle Kuzma has what happened to him? Doug, He's 115 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: like zero for the Lakers. I think happened to him? 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: What happened to him? He was supposed to remember, they 117 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: didn't want to let him go. He Oh no, we're 118 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: not traded him for for Kyle, for Anthony Davis. Now, 119 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: Kyle Kuzma was not going anywhere. You remember that he 120 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: was now absolutely, I mean like look coming into last 121 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: year year, the thought was like, all right, we got 122 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and Kyle Kusman, Lebron James. You can put 123 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: us down for seventy seventy five a night from those three. 124 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: How's the plan? Right, there's a plan, And then and 125 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: then by the end of the year it's like, oh, 126 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: we got Anthony Davison, Lebron James, and occasionally got Kyle Kuzma, 127 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: and it hasn't yet. He's he's looked like a guy 128 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: who who Lebron still gives the side eyed two, is 129 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: not really bought into, doesn't really know where he's supposed 130 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: to be with these guys, now do I think he 131 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: could have statistically a very good series here and could 132 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: pick it up because he knows how to play when 133 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: they play lebron ball, right, like give it to Lebron, 134 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: he makes every pass and every play like sure, but 135 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: that that's kind of what it's gonna have to take. 136 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: And then the question becomes, one, can Lebron do that 137 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: anymore physically? And then too does his body hold up? 138 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: Because this is only the second time he's been hurt. 139 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think the whole thing is fascinating, not 140 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: just what's happening. This is the way that dynasties or 141 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: quasi dynasty's end, like go back. Everybody points to the 142 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: fact that that Kobe and and Shaq hated each other 143 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: at the end of their three peaks. They did, they did. 144 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: They didn't get lung, but Rick Fox got hurt, Karl 145 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: Malone got hurt. That was part of the reason why 146 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: they were so limited when they you know, when they 147 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: split early with the with the Pistons and they went 148 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: back to Detroit, like I never came back. Nobody believed that. 149 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 1: If you remember I covered that series, Dug and I 150 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: remember media members after you remember, because the Pistons should 151 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: have won Game two, Kobe hit that three and then 152 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: they won in overtime, and people are like, Okay, that's it. 153 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: You know, the Pistons got there one win. That's going 154 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: to be the end of it. That Pistons team was 155 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: a really good team, not with great players per se, 156 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: but just together. And that was the beginning. And that 157 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: was the end of the Lake that run with the Lakers, 158 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: and and everything changed after that. So like, look, you 159 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: can we can go back through pick the dynasty and 160 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: with the exception of Jordan retiring, right, I mean what 161 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: ended even the Warriors dynasty where they won two in 162 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: a row, Like, look, they're beating that, they're beating the 163 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: Raptors if everybody outside of Steph Curry doesn't get hurt, right, 164 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: Gavon Looney's hurt, and of course Clay gets hurt in 165 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: Game six, they were still competitive in game to six 166 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: games without Kevin Durant. He could have made If Steph 167 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: Curry made that shot, they could have won that game. 168 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: Dog Game seven, am I right, he got a look 169 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: at the end of that game. But at the point 170 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: is like, if Clay doesn't get hurt, they might win 171 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: the series. If KD doesn't get hurt, they definitely win 172 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: the series. Injuries have brought down injuries, and most injuries 173 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: because of age, but some just injuries have brought down 174 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: more of these dynasties or quasi dynasties than anything. And 175 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: I just wonder if that's that's what happens to the Lakers. 176 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: And it really the juxtaposition of the Clippers, who seven 177 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: two hours ago whatever you know, go back to Friday 178 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: afternoon dead, We're dead, and the Lakers were like, dude, 179 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: we don't have to play the Clippers again. They dodged 180 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: us in the first in the second round, and we 181 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: don't have to play him again. To now, the Clippers 182 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: feeling like they have complete control of their series, and 183 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: the adjustments that Tyrone Lows made in combination with Luca 184 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: having whatever's going on with his neck, like it it's 185 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: that thing looks over as opposed to Lakers are now like, 186 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: holy crap, we could lose to the Suns, who we 187 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: wanted to play because it's a positive matchup for us. Yeah, 188 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. I think Laker fans are very, 189 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: very concerned and the tables that quickly have turned. And 190 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: if the Suns go back, you know, the Phoenix Game five, 191 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: and they're able to win that and there's no Anthony Davis, 192 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: then then the Lakers goose will be cooked. I mean 193 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: that obviously is a huge game. And I picked the 194 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: Suns in this series to start dog. I did because 195 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: you're that guy. You're that guy. I am that guy. 196 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: I picked the Sons, and I really believe the Suns 197 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: are gonna be if they're if they did full strength. 198 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: You really believe I did because I didn't think the 199 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: Lakers would be a full stright. I feel that I did. 200 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: I was like this just you didn't know what you 201 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: was gonna get hurt, but you felt like somebody's gonna 202 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: get hurt. Yes, I felt like they were not going 203 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: to be able to complete the series without a piece missing. 204 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: And the songs they have like look, we're getting and 205 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: and people do it a Memorial Day as well, which 206 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 1: I don't know, like they do the fireworks thing. I 207 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: remember there was a fourth of July. I was in 208 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: drum Right, Oklahoma, and um, all these guys are like 209 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: volunteer firefighters, so that's like they're, hey, I can light 210 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: whatever fireworks possible, and you know, you spend like most 211 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: day drinking and cooking out. And this is before I 212 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: had kids, and I just remember all these guys going 213 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: off into a field to light off these big fireworks, 214 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: and that was my thinking. I was like, I don't 215 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: know who's gonna get hurt, but somebody's gonna get hurting 216 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. And I'm gonna do is I'm 217 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: gonna remove myself and I'm gonna go stay even though 218 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: I like seeing things blow up right like like like 219 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: like I like seeing fireworks like any red blooded American man, 220 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: I like that. That's fine with you. I'm out the way, 221 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: But I'm like, I don't know which one of you 222 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: guys is gonna end up losing the digit. But it's 223 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: not gonna be me, so I'm gonna remove myself. That's 224 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: how you looked at the Lakers series to begin with. 225 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: I really did, and I just thought the Sons are 226 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: young and and people discounted them the whole way, as 227 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: if all the games they won during the regular season 228 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: didn't matter. I mean, that's all I heard was, Oh, 229 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: who are you afraid of in the West, Not Utah 230 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: or not the Sons, And I'm just like, really, those 231 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 1: games don't count at all what they were able to accomplish. 232 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: Devin Booker, nothing he did matter. The Phoenix full strength. 233 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: The Lakers are beating Phoenix full strength. They're they're better 234 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: than Phoenix. It's a bad matchup for Phoenix. I would 235 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: disagree with you there, but the thought that somebody's gonna 236 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: get hurt, that one I understand, and no sture damas 237 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: that did in fact come true. He's Rob Parker.

So the Nets go in and 254 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: they take on the Boston Celtics, and it should be 255 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: pointed out that you know Boston doesn't have um three 256 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: of their starters yesterday, right like you if you go 257 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: back and track it, uh, this this is the team 258 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: just completely decimated by not just the injury to Jalen Brown, 259 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: but then you know yesterday you don't have uh, you 260 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: don't have Robert Williams. And then who else would they 261 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: have missing yesterday? Was Kimba Kimball Walker's out because of 262 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: because of his knee. Right, So, the the idea that 263 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: they had any chance to win yesterday's game, I mean, 264 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: it wasn't happening considering the great talent disparity, and um, 265 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: I it does deserve to be point out that Kyrie 266 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: Irving was fantastic. He was phenomenal. Um eleven to twenty four, 267 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: six threes, eleven rebounds, couple assists plus fifteen the plus 268 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: minus thirty nine points. All right, thirteen eleven rebounds, two assists. Meanwhile, 269 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: James Harden eighteen assists, and then Kevin Durand fourteen of 270 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen of twenty two three or three from three, 271 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: has five assists, has a couple of blocks forty two points. 272 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: So so like, look, they were they were awesome, and 273 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: they played awesome, and the Celtics had no chance. But 274 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: you you take into the you know, he was booed 275 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: lustily in game three. He had his comments about going 276 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: back to Boston hoping there'd be no racism. And then 277 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: of course at the end of the game, when he's 278 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: out of the game and he comes to high five 279 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: his teammates, he walks over and he smudges the nose 280 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: of the lepre Con and then well you're really bothered 281 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: by that dog bothered by what are you doing? Dude? 282 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: I think he looks like a clown. That's what I think. 283 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: And and and I don't think he looks like a 284 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: clown for any other reason than like, hey, dude, you 285 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: were on that team. Okay, they traded for you. You 286 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: clearly wanted to stay there. The dude was this is 287 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: what really this is what it really happened, Rob, This 288 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: is what really happened. Okay, what really happened was they 289 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: played the Bucks in the playoffs. And the coaching staff, 290 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: whether you like your coaching staff or don't like your 291 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: coaching staff, no one can play defensively in the NBA 292 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: when everyone isn't on the same page. You know, they 293 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: talk about teams are they're really got it? Well, like 294 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: like what are we doing on ball screens? Okay, we're switching, 295 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: were staying home, we're doubling, you know, what are we doing? 296 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: What are our rotations? All these things had to be 297 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: said because what happens is the viewer sits there and 298 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well, his man scored, like yeah, but 299 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: that probably wasn't He was probably in a rotation somebody 300 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: else actually screwed it up, right, So they are rules 301 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: for the series against Jannis and the Bucks. His last 302 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: series as a member of the Celtics were like, hey, 303 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: we're switching all ball screens except with Kyrie. You stay home, 304 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: which is kind of the same game plan that the 305 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: Warriors often use with Steph Curry right where they kind 306 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: of hide him defensively and instead of saying something to 307 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: the coaching staff or disagreeing or saying like nah, I 308 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: think I'm good or whatever, it was, the just nodding. 309 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Then they go out and they play and go back 310 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: and watch several times over. He challenges Jannis on a 311 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: switch and then gets beat by Yannis, and they're like, 312 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: it's not just that they're beating us, it's that we're 313 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: we're all trying to work together here to win this thing, 314 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: and you're doing Kyrie thing right. His teammates turned on 315 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: him because of however he handled himself and thought of 316 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: himself as a leader. He clearly was not. They were like, 317 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 1: he's the guy, like, we don't actually buy into your leadership. 318 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: It was that some of that false bravado from Jalen 319 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: Brown and Jason Tatum guys that were young and that 320 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: thought they were better than they were. Of course, sure, 321 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: Oh I was gonna say it. I bet you they 322 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: would rethink that now because to me, those guys have 323 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: been a major disappointment when it comes to big time 324 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: playoff games and series, and they could act like that. 325 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: I remember all the you know, like it's additioned by 326 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: subtraction and all the bravado they talked about not having 327 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: him and that they were better off. I wouldn't think 328 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: that they're better off now. They're on the brink of 329 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: Danny age and you know, whether or not he should 330 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: still be the GM, whether they should make a coaching 331 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: change as Brad Stevens gotten you know, tuned out and 332 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: now how good that franchise really is. Yeah, they're not 333 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: making a coaching change. That's not that's not happening, and 334 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: they could not make one. But but there's merit to 335 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 1: think about it. That team should not have been as 336 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: bad as they were this past year. Kimba's Kemba's got 337 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: a bad knees. Not the same guy is hurting. Jalen 338 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: Brown's out with an injury. So what I don't I'm 339 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: talking they don't have guy, I don't have size inside. 340 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: They don't have their you know, obviously they they they 341 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: swung and missed on their you know, their last big guy. 342 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,959 Speaker 1: They've tried to fix it, but I mean they've been 343 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference finals three of the past four years. 344 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: Like I think I lost all three of them, right, Yeah, 345 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: they were never the favorite. Well, but it doesn't matter, Doug. 346 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: You know what these things called upsets or when teams 347 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: beat teams that they're not supposed to, and it does. 348 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that I'm gonna totally discount what 349 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: they've done, but they've under totally just no, they haven't. 350 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: They they have not underperformed. They have not they underperform. 351 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: The one year they underperformed was the year that Kyrie 352 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: was healthy in the playoffs. Like you just said, they 353 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: didn't do better without him? Yes they did. They went 354 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: to the conference finals, the conference final, but they didn't 355 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: if you're how did they how do they not better 356 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: without him? Do you know what this is? Like I 357 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: always talk about this is like the Michigan the Fab five. 358 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: Oh you know, well they lost, but they were only 359 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: freshmen or they were only sophomores. They got to the final. 360 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: If they would have won you wouldn't take away the 361 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: championship because they were freshmen, or say, oh, well, you know, 362 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: you really can't count that because they were only freshmen 363 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: and they won. If you could get to the finals 364 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: or get to the Easton Conference finals, why can't you 365 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: win it? Yes, you can, you absolutely. Last year you 366 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: possibly could have. You know, last year, you you could have. 367 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: They didn't like look, but the point is that they're 368 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: not having a bad year where it's your injury maligned you. 369 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: You played a ton last year. And then of course, 370 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: just like all these other teams that played late last year, uh, 371 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: they've they've struggled putting together because of injury, and honestly, 372 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: I think those one of the things that teams that 373 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: were in the bubble and the Lakers are not like 374 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: this because they have so many new pieces, but a 375 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: lot of those teams are in the bubble together. One 376 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: of the reason their chemistry is not as good this 377 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: year is they've been around each other too much. There 378 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: is such thing as being around your guys too much. 379 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: When you're just gone for a couple months and then 380 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: we're back, like back together again, like you know it is, 381 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: it's everybody just annoys you turnaround. Yeah, it was a 382 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: quick turnaround anyway. Anyway, just the idea that Kemba wal that, 383 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: that Kyrie Irving would do that. Like, it's almost whatever 384 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: issues issues you have when you leave a place, if 385 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: you just go high road and go like, hey man, 386 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: I love playing for the Celtics. Is a great organization, 387 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: you know, And now we're just gonna we're gonna kick 388 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: their ass like that. No one can argue with that. 389 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: And this does not welcome some idiot throwing a water 390 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: bottle it right. But but the only thing I'm gonna 391 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: say is he's not your average typical NBA player. It's 392 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: just not who he is. And I've I've accepted him 393 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: and not not not that he needs my endorsement, but 394 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: there are people who are just different and that's who 395 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: he is, and he does his own thing, and I'm 396 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: not mad at him. I don't. I don't expect everybody 397 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: to be on board. It's not the army, it's just not. 398 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: And people are different, they have different things that move them. Yet, yes, 399 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: yes different, yes, yes, yes yes, and no I heard 400 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: I was listening. I went out to get confide. I 401 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: was listening to Jeff Schwartz joins us now. He was 402 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: on with Jonas Knocks earlier, preceding us here on Fox 403 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: Sports trait Rob Park. I'm dug out mister Dan Patrick's show. 404 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: I thought Jonas had it best, uh, Jeff, where he said, 405 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: um that Kyrie is one of those guys that goes 406 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: to a party and brings a book and sits in 407 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: the middle of the room and reads a book just 408 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: just to be different. Like that is perfect. Like you've 409 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: never done that now, And I've also I've also never 410 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: not shown up at work and not told my boss. 411 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: I've also not told my boss that we don't really 412 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: need a boss, like all of these things that you're doing, 413 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: Like there's one thing to be visited about, whether he 414 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: can play or not dog all out others. No, no, no, no, no, no. 415 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: He the reason that he is is he that's the juxtaposition. 416 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: He's so talented, But can you win with a guy 417 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: who's clearly not about winning? He won already. He one 418 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: of the biggest shots in NBA history. Go look at 419 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 1: his numbers against the vaunted Golden State war Is when 420 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: he averaged twenty eight points in the finals. Yes, he 421 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: can win. A great talent. Here's there's I'm not in 422 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: any way, and he did hit the big shot, okay, 423 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: but nothing he has done since has led anyone to 424 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: believe that that's a guy that winning follows. He's that 425 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: That's that's the thing with that. You don't get about 426 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: tom Brady, Like you just don't get it. There's some 427 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: guys win and some guys don't. Some guys they're very lucky, 428 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: like Tom Brady who just defense no such no such things. Yes, 429 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: let me, Jeff, here we are, because Doug and I 430 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: will get into this and it'll be a it's the 431 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: dumbest argument of all times, the mucky that tom Brady's 432 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: been very lucky. Jeff, let me let me ask you, Like, 433 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, I've covered this thing for eighteen years. 434 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: I've watched Kyrie, Like, why does he feel like he 435 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: was done wrong by the Boston Celtics. That one. I 436 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: just that that is like comical reimagining something that didn't 437 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: actually happen. Look, a lot of people and players like 438 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: to play the victim role, right, because that's how they 439 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: motivate themselves. Right, they were wronged by a team, they're 440 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: wrong by a coach, they're wrong by front office, they're 441 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: wrong by binding executive and that's the way they justify 442 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: either their behavior or the behavior of the team toward them. 443 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: And that's the way that Look, it's not just athletes, right, 444 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: they're playing people that we know in our lives that 445 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: play that same role. And so you know, I think 446 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: with Kyrie that's the way he feels about the time. 447 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: You know that it went in Boston. Looked the court stomp, 448 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: Look what I had done that? No? Am that outraged? No? 449 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: Is it a reason why should throw a bottle of 450 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: the guy? Absolutely not. Um, But you know a lot 451 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: of people like to play the victim and that's the 452 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: way that they motivate themselves or that's the way that 453 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: they get through life. And um and all the athletes 454 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: do it all the time, right, Uh you know, I 455 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: mean look, you you know Rob wants to just you know, 456 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: describe Tom Brady, But Tom is one of the best 457 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: manufacturing motivations from absolutely nothing. They don't believe in us, Tom, 458 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: everyone believes in you. But you know he just plans 459 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: with motivate himself by saying no one believes us. Yeah, 460 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: I just you know, when it comes to Kyrie, I 461 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: just marvel at him as a basketball player. I just 462 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: accept that he's not your typical athlete. He's on something different, 463 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: and it's okay to be different, it really is, because 464 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: ultimately you could have plenty of nice guys who follow 465 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: the rules, who acquire boys who can't play, and ultimately 466 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: I want a guy Jeff who can play. And I 467 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: think that's who Kyrie is. That's why he was the 468 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: number one pick after eleven games in college. That that's why, 469 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It wasn't because he showed 470 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: everybody in college he was great that he could play. 471 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: That's why we Right, you put up with with the 472 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: odd behavior until that player is not talented enough for 473 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: odd behavior. Right, And like, that's how it always is 474 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: with with any with any any athlete, where you put 475 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: up with with the behavior and the students. Kyrie is 476 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: not good enough to the team or to be a 477 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: number one. Obviously he's not obvious number one now, that's right, 478 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, like when when he becomes too much of 479 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 1: our problem for a team is not yeah, and then 480 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: he's out, like and so his career might be shorter 481 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: than others because of that. I don't know if it 482 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: ever gets but he's also had the injuries or whatever. 483 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's He's not Alan off the 484 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: court right. Alan's off the court is really what led 485 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: to him kind of being an ad league, you know, 486 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: five years before he ever should have. And and Carmelo 487 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: kind of figured it out late in terms of getting 488 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: his body in shape and being willing to come off 489 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: the bench or whatever. But there are some similarities there. Look, 490 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: here's the thing, Rob, Rob Parker, Doug Gottaben for Dan 491 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: the Nnett's Jeff Schwartz is our guests. I do have 492 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: a coupe football questions for you, Jeff in a second. 493 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: But Rob, I look at I look at Kyrie, Okay, 494 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: like I look at Josh. Remember when Josh Rosen was 495 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: coming out and going to the NFL Draft. I had 496 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: a GM tell me something once and he goes, here's 497 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: the thing. We watched Josh Rose and since he's at 498 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: Saint John Bosco into UCLA, and there isn't a guy 499 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: who we ask who's crossed paths with him, played with him, 500 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: been at the Elite eleven, who's ever gone like that's 501 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: my guy. I will like the difference in him in 502 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: a Baker Mayfield like you know, Colin likes to point 503 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: out all of Baker Mayfield's flaws. That's great. You ask 504 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: guys that have played with Baker Mayfield, not every one 505 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: of them obviously, because there are some talent limitations or whatever. 506 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: There are some look at me in the pros. But 507 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: if you when you was at Oklahoma, you ask those guys, 508 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: they'd be like I would. I would run through a 509 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: brick wall for for Baker Mayfield. Right, there's just something 510 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: about those guys. And there's not a guy who is 511 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: like that with Kyrie. He and Kevin Rant were friends. 512 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: But do you think Kevin Ranch really like we don't 513 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: know if this is going to show up at practice 514 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: or a game or not. Like he's just he's not 515 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: a guy that's that's easy enough. And his talent is 516 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: what keeps him showing up in these great situations. Right 517 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: that that's really kind of what it is, and it's 518 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: a it's an interest. It's going to be interesting to 519 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: see when the games get competitive. Like, that's not a 520 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: fair fight. The Celtics aren't as good as the Nets 521 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: when they're at full strength, and they're not close to 522 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: full strength. It's not a fair fight. There's going to 523 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: be more fair fights, whether it's you know, any of 524 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: the next couple of rounds. That's going to be fascinating 525 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: to see what Jeff Schwartz joins the Schwartz Yeah, I 526 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: want to I want to ask you about first about 527 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Right, so the Falcons have to trade him. 528 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: They have to if you do know anything about their 529 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: cap situation, such a disaster. They can't sign their draft 530 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: picks until they trade Julio. They gotta trade Julio after 531 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: June onet. All right, so you gotta trade Julio Jones. 532 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: How do you if you're a team, You're gonna have 533 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: to pay through the nose, but not have the and 534 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: probably have to give him a new contract if if 535 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: you're a team now it's like the Rams are in chaste. 536 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Obviously we've heard of the Patriots. Where do you think 537 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: he goes? Well, you mentioned that the issue was trade 538 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: for Julio. Is the contract he's gonna want after he's traded, right, 539 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: So I think he's a kind of a modest contract 540 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: this year. The next year, I think it's only eleven 541 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: million dollars, which it's very low for a wide receiver. 542 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna want a new deal. So if you trade 543 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: away a first round draft pick, which I don't think 544 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: that the provids have actually been offered, you're doing that 545 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: with you know, also paying him a lot of money 546 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: on the on the back edge, I think a second 547 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: round draft pick is probably where he goes and wherever 548 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: whoever agrees to give him a new deal. I don't 549 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: know if that's the Rams, I don't think it probably 550 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: is the Seahawks, I guess, but I think gonna stun 551 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: Julio Jose and then just continue to run the ball 552 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: as they usually do. A culture really use him. But 553 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't feel like a Chris Ballard move, you know, Belichick, 554 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: Belichick trading a second round draft pick for Julio is fine, 555 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: but then paying him afterwards, I didn't feel like what 556 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, Belichick, which is not even hold up. Obviously 557 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: is the date and we'll get the June first tomorrow, 558 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: But who's willing to pay him a lot of money? 559 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: At his age? And he's been a little bit you know, 560 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: prone to injuries the last couple of years. He's still 561 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: an outstanding player who's on the field, but you have 562 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: to consider that someone's going to give him a lot 563 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: of money if they traded for him. Um, you know 564 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: the Packers have a rumored the Ravens as well. But 565 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: also you know a lot of these teams are contenders, 566 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: right and a second round draft pick for a contender 567 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: or from a contender is in you know, the with 568 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: the sixties the late fifties, like that doesn't feel like 569 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: enough competition for if you're the Falcons for Julio. So 570 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: the Falcons also trying to get the most of value. 571 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't get what they're doing honestly. Um, they drafted 572 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, the idea everyone thought was there, going for it, 573 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: and if you're going for it once, you want Julio 574 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: to be part. They can't because they can't because of 575 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: the money. They just can't think. Yeah, but they can 576 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: find ways to free up enough money to pay draft 577 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: picks by by giving guys the converting sign base salary 578 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: to signing bonuses. They can make it work if they 579 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: wanted to. Um, I mean the Chiefs. I think last 580 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: year entered entered, you know, like with two hundred thousand 581 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: dollars in caps and signed Chris Jones and he did 582 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of other time mahomes Like, yeah, I think 583 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: it's different this year because the cap went down. They 584 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: drafted his replacement in Kyle Pits, like that's what they did, right. 585 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: They've drafted two wide receivers, Calvin Ridley and now Kyle Pits. 586 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: They've drafted his replacement like it's it's over. It's a 587 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: question of what is somebody willing to give. And then 588 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: of course the Falcons have to give him a parting 589 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: gift of you know, they have to rework his contract 590 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: to give him cash to walk out the door knowing 591 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: they're still going to take a substantial cap hit like that. 592 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: That has to I guess the question is will one 593 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: of the two teams whose quarterbacks are bitching about not 594 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: having enough weapons, the Seahawks or the Packers, pony up, 595 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: or will it be the Patriots who I don't think 596 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: you have a quarterback that can get the ball to 597 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Only people that watch Cannon can't throw football 598 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: in an NFL game for me, And you can throw 599 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: a football ashore one on you know, one on you know, 600 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: on against air. Absolutely, but like dude didn't throw for 601 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: a hundred yards several times, I think like five times 602 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: last year. You can't a football, So I don't know 603 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: what what That would defy logic for them to keep 604 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: loading up with the weapons when they're clearly gonna have 605 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: to run the ball a ton if they have where 606 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna play Cam Newton. Again, a lot of teams 607 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: I think will be willing to part with a second 608 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: round draft pick. But again, if you're the Falcons, are 609 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: you taking a second round draft pick within the fifties 610 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: for Julio, which probably you'd say, no, We'll just we'll 611 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: stick with them. We'll you know, we'll we work some 612 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: deals and we'll have them on our team. Like, I 613 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: just think that's that's the hold up is that, Okay, 614 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: they had a first round pick already offered. I think 615 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: he's gone. I think it's like like tomorrow then deals 616 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: announced or toory announced now, and everyone's waiting till June 617 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: first to actually get it done because I just can't 618 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: imagine they're getting anything better than you know, I pick 619 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: them the twenties from a contender who've used Julio as 620 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: one of the final pieces in their Super Bowl run. 621 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: I can't imagine. So I mean, whoever offers the best 622 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: second round pick plus obviously, um, you know, the signed 623 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: to do extension with Julio will get him. I can't 624 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: tell you you don't feel like Belichick. It doesn't feel 625 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: like Chris Ballard in in Indie. Um, So I don't 626 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: know who's gonna bite. I don't mean Green Bay does either. Um. 627 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: Because again, the contract I think is the biggest hold 628 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: up to get this done is giving him a new deal. Jeff, 629 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: let me ask you, will Tim Tebow be on the 630 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: Jaguars roster, wouldn't you know? I mean, I can't imagine 631 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: he will be. But I don't put up by Urban 632 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: Mira keep him on the team. I don't. He's not 633 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: going to earn it with his play on the field. Um. 634 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: What's It's just so interesting how this is discussed. Like 635 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't a good NFL quarterback, why would he be 636 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,719 Speaker 1: a good tight end? Nine years later? I saw him 637 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: in a blocking drill at tight end, and though tight 638 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: ends don't block as much anymore, he might have to 639 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: because I'm kind of a size in his statue. I 640 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: don't see him, you know, splitting the splitting the two 641 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: I safeties in their offense. But like you know, people 642 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: that that practice blocking have a hard time blocking defensive ends. 643 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: This dude hasn't blocked a soul in his entire career, 644 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: and we're asking him to go block a defensive end 645 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: on power, like, get out of here. I just just 646 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: it's just so uh, there's no benefits to bring him 647 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: on the team. The guys do not care about about 648 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: TVA on that team that you know, Trevor Lawrence was 649 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: like eight years old the last time Tebow was doing 650 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 1: a football I don't understand this. I still don't get it. 651 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: How about urban Meyer, like the Chris Doyle higher which 652 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: he had to walk back, I mean, and he defended 653 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: the guy I remember at that press conference, And now 654 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: this this doesn't look like a great start, you know 655 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: what I mean for urban Meyer and the pro ranks, 656 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: And so it looks I think some of the things 657 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: you say are important too, right, Like so when he 658 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: drafted Travis Et in the first round, he said, well, 659 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: we envisioned him as a third down back. What uh 660 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: you why to draft this is not your your fourth 661 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: five star recruited running back. This is the twenty fifth 662 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: pick overall, Like, this is the guy who's your number 663 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: one running back now now? And then you know, in 664 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: the Tebow thing, and and he said, you know, some 665 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: other things about you know, what they're doing in mini camp. 666 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: But I just don't like what I'm hearing from him 667 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: as well, and so we'll see how he does. Look 668 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times it depends on on the staff 669 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: you hire, and you know how they can perform. But 670 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: I don't really I don't like what's happening there right now. 671 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: I mean they actually, you know, the teams have a 672 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: good talent base too, so um and they play a 673 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 1: bad division. He might win some games, but I don't 674 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: like what I see out of him so far. All right, Well, 675 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: he has yet to lose anywhere he's been granted at 676 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 1: the college ranks. So so we'll see. Jeff Schwartz of 677 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: course hosts the Jeff's Schwartz is smart some games in Jacksonville. 678 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: How's that? Yes, they're gonna lose. Everybody's gonna lose games. 679 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: The question is do they start winning more games than 680 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: they lost? They can they put together more than one 681 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: kind of a one off of successful season. Can you 682 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: get they get back to the days of Keenum Cardell 683 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: and um who is the other wide receiver? They had 684 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: the two wide receivers and they had fragile Fred Taylor 685 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: was so memorable and Mark Burnell. They went to the 686 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: MC championship game. They were fun back then with Tim Colin. 687 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: Tom Conflin, what yeah, Tom Conflin, they were they were, 688 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: they were good back to the day. And then Tony Biselli. 689 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: They left him up for them the expansion draft, right, 690 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: and he never even played for the Texans. But that 691 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: was kind of the beginning of the end. Jeff Schwartz 692 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,479 Speaker 1: is smarter than you.

I 748 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: don't think he had a string. I'm just gonna say, 749 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: you're right, but it was. But it was dug for 750 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: a guy who grew up you know, man, I'm a 751 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: city kid. I grew up in a city man. You know, 752 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: like like to be in Egypt and to be on 753 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: the camera. It's just like when I went to Antarctica. 754 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: Just think about it. The black kid who grew up 755 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: in the sixties and seventies in New York City is 756 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: in Antarctica standing on the snow and looking at the penguins. 757 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,879 Speaker 1: It was mind boggling to me. Yeah, no, it's It's 758 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: an amazing thing to have the perspective to understand where 759 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: you've coming from and where you are currently. Robob Parker, 760 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm gottlieb um speaking of how he got here currently. Yes, 761 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: yesterday was I mean, it was just a complete asswhopping 762 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: by the Clippers. Now, should we point out that something 763 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: was wrong with Luca where he had He's got some 764 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: and anybody who's had any sort of pinched nerve in 765 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,399 Speaker 1: the neck. But now he's like telling like some deep 766 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: tissue mislages are gonna help, Like good, good luck with that. 767 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: But he was bad nine to twenty four. But he 768 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: just he looked like he couldn't move, and they looked 769 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: like they quit defensively. There was a time in the 770 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: second half we're like, wow, um, you guys want to 771 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: call it good? Right, Like you ever been in an 772 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: adult league and you're up like twenty, there's like two 773 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: minutes left and everybody's got to go, like, you guys good, 774 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: We're good. Like it felt like the Mavericks wanted to 775 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: call it good. No, I got to. I kept. The 776 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: score just didn't change for them for a long time. 777 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 1: Dog it was amazing. But it doesn't take away what 778 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: the Clippers have done and what I'm just talking about 779 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: Paul George and Kawhi Leon. We talked about his numbers, 780 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: like these guys are still making shot sixty five percent 781 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: doug from the field for Kauai from three. They it's 782 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: like they just figured out that the Mavericks can't guard 783 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: him one on one, right, you know. But but to me, 784 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: it goes back to and do I know for a 785 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: fact that the result would have been different. No, But 786 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: Friday night, the Mavericks were ready to play, right. They're 787 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: they're up twenty six eight to start the game. You're 788 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: up eighteen points to start the game. And the Clippers 789 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 1: look dead. Let's just be honest, they look like it's 790 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: deader than dead. Yes, And Luca, Luca's hitting everything right 791 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: like he comes out, you know, and he hits he 792 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: hits a twenty five foot step back, then he hits 793 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: another three. First eight, it was eight nothing. He on 794 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: his own personal eight oh run to start. So it's 795 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight to eleven and eventually becomes thirty eleven right 796 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: after he comes out of the game. But twenty eight 797 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: to eleven, and they take him out of the game 798 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: because that's what they do. But you know, with about 799 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: six minutes left, they like to take him out. And 800 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: he actually didn't come out till five minutes left to 801 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 1: go in the first quarter, and they're up twenty eight 802 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: to eleven. The first quarter ended up thirty or thirty one, 803 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 1: and it was a it was a new ball game, 804 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: Like I just it's one of those things that we 805 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,880 Speaker 1: know in life and in sports, do you do what 806 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: you do because that's what you've always done, you know. 807 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean, look yesterday, can I give you a perfect example. 808 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,280 Speaker 1: I love that you said this nineteen eighty six World Series, 809 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: the Red Sox are about to win. All year long, 810 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,959 Speaker 1: they used to put Dave Stapleton in the ninth inning 811 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,439 Speaker 1: to play first base because Bill Buckner has a bad leg, 812 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: right and because John McNamara wanted Bill Buckler to be 813 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: out there for the celebration. They win against what they 814 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: had done all year, and the ball went through Bill 815 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: Buckner's legs. Yes it didn't. So there's there's both sides 816 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: of do you change what you do or you know 817 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: what I mean? Or do you adjust given the circumstance. 818 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think you're onto something that they 819 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: should have broke the hippers neck in that first quarter 820 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: and just said the heck with it, We're going to 821 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: destroy them. It's going to be thirty five to thirteen 822 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 1: and the game is going to be over. I agree 823 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: with you. I just it's one of those deals. I 824 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: get what you've done, but you did. You had your 825 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: foot in their neck and you let them off. And 826 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: now it's a whole new series and now and now 827 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,479 Speaker 1: the Mavericks. You feel like you'd be lucky to go seven. 828 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: Be lucky to go seven. Since that substitution, the entire 829 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,239 Speaker 1: series has has changed. All right, Well, things maybe looking 830 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 1: up for the Clippers. The opposite is true for the Lakers. 831 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: Have we get here? Find out next on The Dan 832 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,880 Speaker 1: Patrick Show.
