Desmond Bain has been traded, Raphael Dever's 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: been traded. The US Open had uh it was complete 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: carnage yesterday but did have I thought a super exciting ending, 21 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: and I was, you know, we we're gonna do love 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: and hate a top of next hour. I hate myself 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: because I was one hundred percent wrong on one thing 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: regarding the US Open. So this should be a really 25 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: good show, should be a very interesting show. Before we 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: get to tonight's NBA, let's talk about yesterday's WNB or 27 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: or Saturday's WNBA. So Caitlin Clark had well, look, she 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: had herself a good game, but more than anything, had 29 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: just this thirty eight seconds of pure basketball ecstasy right 30 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: where she's coming down hitting logo three after logo three, 31 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: and and you know, most of the sports world has 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: been put on notice because of it, and it sparked 33 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: a good conversation because now we have tangible proof of 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: what the American sports viewer thinks of the WNBA without 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. Keep in mind that in her first game 36 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: back from injury, she has thirty two points, nine assists, 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: eight rebounds, She's seven of fourteen from three point range, 38 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, she did have seven turnovers. 39 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: She was not perfect. 40 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: She was a plus five. Her team won by was 41 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: it fourteen points? I think fourteen points? But it sparked 42 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: a bigger conversation because the ratings were less than half 43 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: of what they are with her once she was out. 44 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: Here's Caitlin Clark talking about that thirty eight seconds where 45 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: she that she had late in the first quarter that 46 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: broke the internet. 47 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: I took one in transition. That's kind of like where 48 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: I like to get to early, and so it's good 49 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: to see the ball go through the hoop. And then 50 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: I came down and shot another one. Then I came 51 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: down and shot another one and saw three in a 52 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: row go in. So that gives you a lot of confidence. 53 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: Here's her head coach four point guardner and writes Stephanie 54 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: White talking about having Clark back. 55 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 4: Well, don't we always expect that kind of game from Caitlin. 56 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 4: I knew her adrenaline was going to be high to start. 57 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: I mean, she's been itching to get back out there. 58 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 4: She carried us in the first half, and then everybody 59 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 4: else carried us in the second half, and I thought 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 4: her decision making was great, outstanding, especially that last four 61 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: minute stretch or whatever it was that she was on 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: the floor. Did a really good job of getting everybody involved. 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: And that's what she does. 64 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is what she does. That is what she does. Okay, 65 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: So there's a woman named Rachel Demita. Rachel, I believe 66 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: she's a former basketball player. She's like an influencer. She 67 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: played at Old Dominion. Didn't play with Old Minion. The 68 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: band I like, played at Old Dominion, which is a school. 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: I think they're in the Colonial. I don't know, anyway. 70 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Her husband is Andre Robertson, who's formerly played for the Thunder, 71 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: had a bad knee injury, then played overseas. So she's influencer. 72 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: She had a podcast. She has a podcast, and I 73 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: think she labels herself as a WNBA reporter. I think 74 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: with CBS Sports. I'm not sure. Anyway, here's Rachel Demita 75 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: trying to explain from her perspective while there were drops 76 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: while Kaitlin Clark was out. 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 5: I hope you guys don't mind. But the news was 78 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: just announced that WNBA TV ratings are down more than 79 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 5: fifty percent since Kaitlin Clark's injury, and it was also 80 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 5: reported that the Indiana Fever television viewership is also down 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 5: over fifty three percent. A lot of people stopped watching 82 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 5: because they are boycotting the WNBA. They don't want to 83 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 5: give viewership to any other teams or any other players, 84 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 5: whether they like other players on the team or not, 85 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 5: because of how the media and the league itself has 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 5: hand old Caitlin Clark and how they have treated her fans. 87 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of a new one to me. 88 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: I had anybody heard about that previously. I mean, usually 89 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: when you do a boycott and it picks up steam 90 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: and it affects ratings this greatly, one would I just 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: one would think one would think that that boycott would 92 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: be one that we knew about or heard about. Right, 93 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: That's that's what That's what people, anybody I think reasonably 94 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: would think. But Rachel to me to acting like, well, 95 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: that's the reason the ratings are down. No, we like 96 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: watching her play, period. We don't like or relate to, 97 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: or have a desire to watch most anybody else play. 98 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: The ratings that are left, that's your classic WNBA core 99 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: base that has been there probably for twenty five years 100 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: and has grown in incremental pieces over time. But the 101 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: fifty percent that you lost, that's the Caitlin Clark effect. 102 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: Period. 103 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Stop and until you just go okay, start there, until 104 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: you start at that very point where you realize, Okay, 105 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the people are only watching to see 106 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: basically what she did Saturday, then you can properly market 107 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: what you have as a sports league. And you know 108 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: it's it's fascinating. I'm a basketball guy. I played high 109 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: school basketball, I played college basketball, I played professional basketball. 110 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: I've covered it, I now coach it. It's very much 111 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: part of who I am as a person. Hey, my 112 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: dad was high school coach, became college coach, became AU coach, 113 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: travel ball coach, and mentored so many And I would 114 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: just tell you that, like when you grew up in 115 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: a basketball family, the WNBA has struggled for a long time. 116 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: But I don't know how many times you have to 117 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: say this. 118 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: People only care about Caitlin and the thing that I 119 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: find to be when I watch the game, when I 120 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: watch how she walks, how she carries herself was this 121 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: year is what. 122 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: We hoped she would be last year. 123 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: And I would also tell you that I think the 124 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: best thing that happened to her is one not getting 125 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: selected to the Olympic team last year and probably getting 126 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: injured this year because what she has to deal with, 127 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: and when I say deal with, maybe that's not the 128 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: right term, what she endures on a daily basis. 129 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: I don't care about the constant scrutiny. It's just a 130 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: lot of attention. 131 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: And she went from playing college ball to playing the 132 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: WNBA and probably needed a break and need to recalibrate 133 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: her game. And now that she's recalibated her game and 134 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: it fits a little bit more of the WNBA model. 135 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Last year she was square peg, round hole. This year 136 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: it's round, round peg, round hole, and she's different, She's dominant. 137 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: She's taken another step. The most improving you make in 138 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: college is freshman is sophomore year off season. The most 139 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: improving you make as a professionalist between your first and 140 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: your second. 141 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: Year, because you don't know what you don't know. 142 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: You don't know how to train, you don't know how 143 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: you travel, you don't know how you eat, You don't 144 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: know how your team it's gonna treat you, how the 145 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: refts are gonna treat you, how the opponent's gonna treat you. 146 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: And then in year two, you know all these things, 147 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: they become easier and then you become the better because 148 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: of it. I mean this when I say this, Like 149 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark was one of those she had other worldly 150 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: talent and she had what the kids call aura last year, 151 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: and there was some substance, but it was a lot 152 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: of she's going to be great. She's not great yet, 153 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: but she's going to be great now. She's great now, 154 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: she's great shooting percentages, confidence, knowledge of where to get 155 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: in the court, how to avoid get herself out of trouble, 156 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: not get herself in a foul trouble, how to communicate 157 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: with teammates, and honestly for the fever, what coach to 158 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: put around her, with players to put around her. It's 159 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: all going to be better in year two because you're one. 160 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: You just don't know what you don't know? You know, 161 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: all right, Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. 162 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 2: Oh go ahead, Dan, I'm sorry. 163 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 6: No, that's okay. 164 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 7: I just wanted to just add something in them because 165 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 7: I'm curious on your thoughts about this. I think it 166 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 7: was the most important WNBA game she's played in her career. 167 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 7: And the reason I say that is a lot of 168 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 7: what you said is this leap from year one to 169 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 7: leap to year two in what she's done in the 170 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 7: You now know what you didn't know previously, and it 171 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 7: was one of the questions that I had about the 172 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 7: Kate and Clark phenomenon on. 173 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 6: Would this. 174 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 7: Rise continue, would would the league be able to catch 175 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 7: up at all? And obviously they haven't, but to be 176 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 7: able to come in make a viral moment in a 177 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 7: ninety second span upon her return against the defending WNBA champions, 178 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 7: who were unbeaten to that point. Like, there will be 179 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 7: games later on in her career that she plays and 180 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 7: playoff games that will be more important, But I think 181 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 7: to this point this was the most important game that 182 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 7: she played in her career because of everything you kind 183 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 7: of laid out in the first eleven minutes. 184 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, I'm okay with that most important in WNBA career. 185 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: Like it sounds a little strong when it comes out 186 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: of your mouth, and then you go back and you 187 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: track it and you're like, I'm up, I'll buy that. 188 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: I'll buy that. 189 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there was a little bit when 190 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: she came when they came off the Olympic break too. 191 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: I thought that was But I don't know if there 192 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: was one individual game that was as big as this, right, 193 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: and then again, like if you're a if you're a hater, 194 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: a naysayer, and she doesn't play well or she doesn't 195 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: play after going to several of the Pacers' finals games, 196 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, like, oh, well she's good enough to go 197 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: to the but she's not good at to play. 198 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: And blah blah blah blah blah. 199 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think when I initially heard you say that, 200 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: it sounded like hyperbole, and then when you supported it, 201 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: I started to think about it. 202 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 2: I don't think you're wrong, and. 203 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 6: There will be bigger games. But yeah, right, you're. 204 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: Just talking to this point up up until this point, Sammy, 205 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: what'd you think. I know you're you're a kind of 206 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: resident Caitlin Clark beat reporter. 207 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean this. There will be bigger games, 208 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 8: but this one was huge because remember they lost the 209 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 8: Liberty at home by two, and then then she had 210 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 8: to exit for several games because of her injury. So 211 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 8: she comes back the Liberty are still undefeated and then 212 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 8: they end up winning by fourteen, and she just puts 213 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 8: on this amazing first half show. It was coming back 214 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 8: from injury. It's spot as good of a game to 215 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 8: play that you could hope for. 216 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: Fair enough, Stug Gottlieb Show, this is Fox Sports Radio. 217 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: You're ready for a new job.

I'm all for Thunder road 327 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: win to right right right side the series even better. 328 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: That's what I left from the Weekend Dan Byer, would 329 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: you love for the weekend, Doug? 330 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 7: Just out of curiosity, did you try to go to 331 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 7: Game five tonight? 332 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 4: Uh? 333 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, I figured this is you know, right in 334 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 7: that that wheelhouse, like it's a must game. Everybody wants 335 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 7: to get a ticket, trying to get a ticket. And 336 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 7: but I thought myself also, Doug, I guess in a way, 337 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 7: I love to be proven wrong. I don't know if 338 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 7: this is what you're getting at, but I loved everything 339 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 7: about the Open, even if I said on Friday that 340 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 7: it was more likely that JJ spawn would finish out 341 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 7: of the top ten then actually win the tournament, and 342 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 7: he actually won the tournament. 343 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 2: Listen, you're not as bad as me. Okay. 344 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: I did a rant on the podcast only part of 345 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: this show, which you can download subscribe rate to listen to, 346 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: where I said that the guy who leads the relative 347 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: no name or no name that leads a major at 348 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: the end of the first day is like the guy 349 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: you see in the first scene in a horror movie. 350 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: He never makes it to the end of the movie. Right, yeah, 351 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm with you. 352 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 7: Well, JJ smawn during that rain delay even changed shirts 353 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 7: which I thought was great. And if you'll notice in 354 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 7: the highlights, he made this mention last night in speaking 355 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 7: that they had the rain delay at Oakmont. But you'll 356 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 7: notice that his back nine highlights are in a different 357 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 7: shirt than when he shot forty on the front nine, 358 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 7: and that ended up changing everything. Said that the rain 359 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 7: delay really helped him. It had everything that I wanted 360 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 7: a US Open to be, not only these pats or yesterday, 361 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 7: but those past four days prior to that. 362 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 6: And even when the rain came in. 363 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 7: And really softened the course, it just made it difficult 364 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 7: in other ways, which was awesome to see. And now 365 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 7: you're used to lightning quick greens here and there. Now 366 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 7: you've got wet, rough standing water in some places, which 367 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 7: I know Sam Burns isn't happy about, but it made 368 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 7: it a test. It was awesome to watch over the 369 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 7: four days and to see the guys who made the 370 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 7: shots at the end be rewarded, Robert McIntyre and JJ 371 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 7: Spawn being the two foremost likely. It was awesome to watch. 372 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 7: So a great US Open in the books at Oakmond. 373 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: Hey, can I offer you a hypothesis? 374 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 6: Sure? 375 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: Okay, restrict your plate racing in NASCAR? Now, Yes, Look 376 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: to the to the fan, they talked about restrictor plate racing. 377 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: The design was to slow them down, to make the 378 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: cars so that the downforce was greater, so you had 379 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: less cars going up in the air crashing and the 380 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: opportunity to anybody dying. 381 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: Right, that was the idea. 382 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: But restrictor plate racing really, what it does is it 383 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: clumps all the cars together artificially creating these unbelievable finishes 384 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: because so many are within arms distance of each other. 385 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: To have it make a move at the end of 386 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: winter race, is that fair? 387 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 6: Yeah? 388 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I feel like that's the idea of the 389 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 1: US Open, like where the initial thing a lot like 390 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: the downforce is the reason and slowing them down in 391 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: safety is the thing with Nascar, I think what the 392 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: what the USGA says is, Hey, we want the best, 393 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: the hardest test of golf. We want to make this 394 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: the hardest test of golf. Like, okay, I mean you 395 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: could have dudes, you know, I mean you could have 396 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: booby traps and people falling into pits, and that could 397 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: be harder. But the point is that I think that 398 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: because it's so difficult and because par is plenty good. 399 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: Enough, it keeps them all. 400 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: That's why that leaderboard yesterday for the last two hours 401 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: was like a turnstyle. You're like, wait, who's in first 402 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: now or whatever, and I don't. I kind of think 403 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: it's by design. It keeps them all kind of clumped 404 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: together and gives you a much more likely to be 405 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: close finish than if you just or naturally said, hey, 406 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: go play like the PGA, go play at the British Open. 407 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: I don't know what the reality is and how close 408 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: all these finishes are, but that was my thought when 409 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: I was watching it. 410 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 7: I think that there's truth to that much bigger topic 411 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 7: and probably for another time, but it's also sometimes why 412 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 7: you will get a random US Open winner. Now it's 413 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 7: gonna be up to JJ Spahn to find out if 414 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 7: he is the random winner or if there is more 415 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 7: to come because the season's been great lost to the 416 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 7: playoff at the Players another huge event, well I'm not 417 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 7: a major, probably the biggest event that is in a 418 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 7: major on tour. So now it's up to him to 419 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 7: try to avoid that trap of just being a one 420 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 7: hit wonder. 421 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, okay, Jase, two, what's you left in the weekend? 422 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 9: Let's see, I'm gonna save Caitlin Clark in the fever 423 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 9: for the gentleman standing to my left, because I want 424 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 9: to talk about my Dodgers on Saturday night. Saturday Night 425 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 9: saw Clayton Kershaw pick up the win, had a very 426 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 9: good game. Clayton Kershaw, our hero wins the game. Shohey 427 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 9: Otawani hit two home runs to beat the rivals, and 428 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 9: they are arrivals. As much as Daniel Jeremiah wants to 429 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 9: not acknowledge this, Dodgers Giants goes back one hundred and 430 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 9: some odd years and we beat them on Saturday night. 431 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 9: That's what I loved about the weekend. But then it 432 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 9: got better when Bob Nightingale, who and I'm talking to 433 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 9: people that follow Dodger new here. We all know that 434 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 9: Bob Nightingale almost never gets news correct about the Dodgers. 435 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 9: It's almost laughable. So on Sunday Notes MLB Notes about 436 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 9: the Dodgers, Bob Nightingale says the Dodgers don't plan on 437 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 9: having show Otani make his twenty five pitching debut until 438 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 9: after the All Star break, regardless of how well he's progressing. 439 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 9: News late last night, shoe heo Tani will be starting tonight, 440 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 9: So you nailed it again, Bob Nightingale. Thank you. And 441 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 9: by the way, just a quick note, Will Smith should 442 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 9: get more votes than he's going to get for the 443 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 9: MVP and National League and it has to do a 444 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 9: show Helo Tani, show, Halo Tani. He is a guy 445 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 9: that hogs the DH spot. There is no way around that. 446 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 9: He has to be the DH every night, so we 447 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 9: can't give Will Smith any breaks. The cool thing about 448 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 9: the DH of the National League now is that the 449 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 9: catchers could give it breaks, and good hitting catchers col DH. 450 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 9: Will Smith is behind the plate four out of five 451 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 9: nights a week, and he's one of our most productive hitters. 452 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 9: And Shohey being able to pitch and maybe place some 453 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 9: outfield now might give Will Smith a break behind the plate. 454 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 9: So all good news in Dodger Land. 455 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: Uh okay, I was him, What do you got. 456 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 8: Well, Jason, I don't think you should make assumptions. You 457 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 8: shouldn't make assumptions about me about me because my love 458 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 8: of the weekend is Angel Reese recording her first triple double. 459 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 8: Yeah dude up phrase Reese triple double, eleven points, eleven assists, 460 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 8: personal record and thirteen me bounds and guys, she's the 461 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 8: second youngest player of all time, second youngest player of 462 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 8: all time recorded triple double. 463 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 6: Only to some other person, Why do you love it? 464 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 6: You said you love it? Why do you love it? 465 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 8: I was just trying to avoid the lowest hanging fruit 466 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 8: out there. Kind a guy put you, guys on a 467 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 8: little bit, so you don't love it. It's a different kind 468 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 8: of It's just a goof it's a goof love. I'm 469 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 8: trying to I'm trying to avoid talking about Kaitlyn Clark. 470 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 6: You just. 471 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 2: Didn't you like, like like Sam, you just. 472 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 6: Assumed I'd take that as my love and you and 473 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 6: Jason you say. 474 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: It for me, Sam, let me speak for Jason and 475 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: for Dan. Okay, And if you guys disagree with me, 476 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: that's fine. The the issue is sometimes you throw things 477 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: in or you do the ands when it's not necessarily 478 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: the time and the place. This is the time and 479 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: the place where you can actually say, hey, I loved 480 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark's first ever triple double and here's why, and 481 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: expound upon that. 482 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 2: We're actually offering that up. 483 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 8: You mean, Angel Reese, Yeah, no, just trying to goof around. 484 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 8: This is a joke, Yes, of course, Kaitlyn Clark was awesome. 485 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 8: It's everything we hope for.

What's interesting is 491 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: they are actually me bounds because they're correcting her own shot.

I'm not 497 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 9: going to change locyle. Let's stay at Dodger Stadium. Something 498 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 9: very disturbing happened yesterday. I don't know if either any 499 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 9: of you are familiar with the musical artist Nesa. I 500 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 9: was not before yesterday, and I regret that I am 501 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 9: aware of her today. Uh Nesa sparked quite the controversy locally. 502 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 9: Yesterday I'll set this up. Nesa was asked to sing 503 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 9: the national anthem by the Dodgers. We all know what 504 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 9: that goes. Into that, right, You're going to be able 505 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 9: to sing the national anthem at Dodger Stadium for historical 506 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 9: Francis franchise, in front of potential agents, people that could 507 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 9: could discover you as talent. Singing the national anthem at 508 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 9: Dodger Stadium is different than singing the national anthem in Milwaukee, 509 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 9: and and that's I'm not trying to throw any stones 510 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 9: at Milwaukee Nesa. I guess it got back to the 511 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 9: Dodgers that Nesa planned to sing the national anthem in 512 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 9: Spanish to support the migrants uh in the wake of 513 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 9: the protests from last week. Nesa was approached by a 514 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 9: Dodger representative before the game and it went like this. 515 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 7: I'm not. 516 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 9: So that was a Dodger representative telling Neza that you're 517 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 9: gonna go ahead and sing the song in English because 518 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 9: everybody sings it in English, because nobody I've ever known 519 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 9: or heard of has ever heard it in Spanish, because 520 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 9: when you go to an American sports game, you hear 521 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 9: the national anthem in English. So we're gonna go ahead 522 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 9: and do that, okay. Neza agrees to do it, and 523 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 9: then proceeds to go on the field and sing the 524 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 9: national anthem in Spanish, and then she decided to go 525 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 9: on social media after she did that. 526 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 11: All right, bear with me because I'm still I'm very 527 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 11: shooking out and emotional. Names Anyways, I just got home 528 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 11: from singing the national anthem in Spanish at the Dodgers game, 529 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 11: and it is the official Star Spangle banner in Spanish. 530 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 11: You can google it, so I'll just read it you 531 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 11: really quick. But it was officially commissioned in nineteen forty 532 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 11: five by the US State Department as a part of 533 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 11: President Franklin Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy to foster a a 534 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 11: relationship with Latin America. Because of this, I didn't think 535 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 11: I would be met with any sort of like no, 536 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 11: especially because we're in LA and with everything happening, and 537 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 11: I've sang the national anthem many times in my life, 538 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 11: but there was today, out of all days, I could not. 539 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 5: I'm sorry. 540 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just. 541 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 11: Could not believe when she walked in and told me no. 542 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 5: But I just felt like I needed to do it. 543 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 9: Okay, So if you're tracking this, Nela was told to 544 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 9: wellhead and sing it in English. She went on the 545 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 9: field sing it in Spanish, and then on her social media. 546 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 9: She made the Dodgers look like jerks by showing the 547 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 9: video of the representative telling her not to do it, 548 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 9: and by saying that the Dodgers told her no. She 549 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 9: couldn't believe they were told no. This goes back to 550 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 9: last week and that the Dodgers have not said anything 551 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 9: publicly about the protests. This is a very polarizing political 552 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 9: topic that the Dodgers want nothing to do with, and 553 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 9: Nesa just rope them into having to answer to this. 554 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 9: I think that was a crappy thing to do. I 555 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 9: think that she exposed herself for being a narcissist gen zer, 556 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 9: and now the Dodgers have to respond to something that 557 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 9: they've been trying to stay clear of. In the wake 558 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 9: of the George Floyd riots in twenty twenty, there were 559 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 9: corporations and teams taking a political stance. I think Atlanta 560 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 9: was taking the All Star Game was taken away from them. 561 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 9: It was shocking that so many people were taking what 562 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 9: they thought was the politically correct stance at the time. 563 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 9: Corporations and teams are not doing that anymore. There's no 564 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 9: reason for the Dodgers to take a stant here. They 565 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 9: don't want to alienate half of their fan base, and 566 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 9: I think that was I just hated what she did there. 567 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 9: She made it about her, and now she's drawn a 568 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 9: corporation into something that they don't belong in. 569 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: I think part of the problem Chase do, if we're 570 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: being completely honest, is I know you'd love I don't 571 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: think what you're saying is wrong. I do think that 572 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: there's a search for being being How can I be 573 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: a victim? 574 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: Right? Victimhood? 575 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: But but I I also think, and very strongly, I 576 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: don't think a younger generation truly understands what is a 577 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: right and what is a privilege. 578 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: Right, Like, you have. 579 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: The right to speak your mind, but when you're singing 580 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: the national anthem, that is a privilege offered to you 581 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: by the LA Dodgers. And like it's got to be 582 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: really hard for the Dodgers because what percentage of the 583 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: fan base do you think is Hispanic. 584 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 6: Considerate? 585 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 2: Right? 586 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 12: So it's a but again, you just can't if it's 587 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 12: it's paralyzing for the Dodgers, like we we can't take 588 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 12: a side in this thing, and then you represent us 589 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 12: by singing the national anthem. 590 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Uh yeah. 591 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: This is a classic gen Z moment where she made 592 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: herself into a victim when she she received a privilege 593 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: of singing the national anthem and she chose to make 594 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: a political stunt of it and make herself into a victim. 595 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with you on most parts. 596 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 8: She probably did score a lot of new fans, so 597 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 8: I would imagine, I mean, she took an opportunity. There's 598 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 8: an opportunity there to protest, and she did. 599 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 1: They told me I can't come back, and they're like, 600 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: we never said that. 601 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 8: And that's I think that's she made this decision herself. 602 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 8: I think that's that's good from the Dodgers to say that, say, 603 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 8: we never said that. We just wish you hadn't done that. 604 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 8: But like to like ban her would just make things 605 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 8: even worse. 606 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 13: I think. 607 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 8: So she took an opportunity. Uh, you know, tempers are 608 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 8: flaring right now around here. Things are hot, heads are hot, 609 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 8: understand me. 610 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 2: So Dan Byer, what do you got, boy? 611 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 7: My hate's really is going to bail in comparison to 612 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 7: the last five minutes of this, uh of this program, 613 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 7: because I just really got annoyed with Adam Schefter tweeting 614 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 7: about the US Open and it's it's nothing, it's nothing 615 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 7: personal about Schefter. It's personal about these insiders who have 616 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 7: millions upon millions of followers on their Twitter handle for 617 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 7: a specific reason, and it's not because we find them entertaining. 618 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 7: It's because they provide news that we want to know. 619 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 7: And it's it's the same for Adam Schefter as it 620 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 7: is for Ian Rappoboard, as it is for shams and 621 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 7: just these one off like they're just they're just sent 622 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 7: for like engagement, just to rack up numbers because they 623 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 7: can by tweeting like JJ Spawn's winning putt and like 624 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 7: what a putt? And I just feel that you give 625 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 7: up your Twitter rights to tweet anything but NFL information 626 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 7: when you have that many And it is just this 627 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 7: jump on a bandwagon, and it's done in tennis, it's 628 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 7: done in horse racing. It's these moments that they then 629 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 7: try to bandwagon and piggyback off of just for their 630 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 7: own good. And it's it's not meant to be personal, 631 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,319 Speaker 7: and I think I probably went really personal with some insiders, 632 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 7: but it just got annoying that when JJ spawn wins, 633 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 7: I get an alert on my phone and it's Adam 634 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 7: Schefter tweeting what a pot I And he's not the 635 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 7: only one, but yesterday. 636 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm not an insider, and I you know, I think 637 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: I twitted what a finish or something that was. 638 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 7: Yeah, but I'm not. I don't have alerts on for you, 639 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 7: and people want to know your sports opinions. They don't't 640 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 7: care about anything Adam Schefter has to say unless it's 641 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 7: about the National Football League. 642 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 6: That is it. 643 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 7: That is the reason why he's got ten million followers, 644 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 7: not because Adam Schefter's funny or Adam Schefter has great 645 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 7: opinions on the NBA. That's where his audience is. And 646 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 7: sure there's a huge amount of crossover with his audience 647 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 7: being sports fans, but I just it, I don't know. 648 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,479 Speaker 7: It's I think it's the Johnny cum Lately sort of thing. 649 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 7: It's the you know, tweet about you know what, tweet 650 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 7: about the Travelers Championship on Saturday, and then I can 651 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 7: maybe pass your US Open coming up this weekend.

Okay, 687 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: because Jay Stu's like, have you seen this Rop Devers story? 688 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: And like fill me in? So he's gonna show me in. 689 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, So I printed out a 690 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: couple stories to start reading it. So let's get this straight. 691 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: Raphael Devers who is with the Red Sox, right, huge deal, 692 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: and he gets traded over the weekend to the San 693 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants. 694 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 2: So Devers only wanted a. 695 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: DH, right, That's all he want to do is DH 696 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: and because of injury, they asked him play first base. 697 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: He's like nah nah. He gets traded to the San 698 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants and when asked about what position he'll play, 699 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: his response was wherever I'm needed, as long as we 700 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: want to win. 701 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 2: I just want to win, right. So you're with the 702 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 2: Red Sox. 703 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: Great organization page it offered, I mean the contract's over 704 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars for over a decade, and when 705 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: asked to switch positions, the answer was no to another franchise, 706 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, now you're open to playing 707 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: wherever because you just want to win. Did the Red 708 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: Sox do you so wrong when they offered you that 709 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: gigantic contract? And I love this analogy. It's the you know, 710 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: anyone who's ever been in a relationship, and there's just 711 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: things that you just like, I don't do that in 712 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: this relationship, like they don't do it, and then all 713 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden they're in a different relationship. For example, 714 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: you could have a woman who's like, I don't drink coffee. 715 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,839 Speaker 1: I hate coffee. I don't like the smell. It makes 716 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 1: a mess, it's everywhere. I just got into it, right, 717 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 1: And then you know you're out and about. You got 718 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: your new girl. She's got her new guy, and you 719 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: see him out and they're at a coffee shop and 720 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: what is she ordering but coffee? 721 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: Why? Wow? You know he's into it. So I kind 722 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 2: of got into it. Same thing with rock. 723 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: Field Devers, right, like, you won't play first base for 724 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, but you'll play anywhere for the San 725 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants. 726 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 2: I hate that. I hate that. 727 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: So thank you Jay stew for telling them about that story. 728 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: And I can't stand that mentality of rock Field Evers 729 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:06,919 Speaker 1: and that is love it hate. 730 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 10: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 731 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,959 Speaker 10: the nation yet. Catch all of our shows at Fox 732 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 10: Sports Radio dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. 733 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 2: It's the Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. 734 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 1: So the Pacers were up big and Oklahoma City comes 735 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,439 Speaker 1: back and wins the game. Late in the game, there's 736 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: several calls at first half. I thought some calls went 737 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: against the Indiana Pacers despite the fact they were at home. 738 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: Late in the game, Shake Gildess Alexander makes it beautiful 739 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: fade away in the left baseline and if you watch 740 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: the replay right, looks like he pushed off, looks like 741 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: he traveled. There was no call. Of course, Scott Foster's 742 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: on the game. Everybody calls Scott Foster the extender, extender, 743 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: and he's one of the few NBA officials who everybody 744 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: knows his name. He's got a lot of heat, especially 745 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: on social media, because Oklahoma City won because they were 746 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 1: a couple of missed calls Here's he's HER's head coach 747 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: Rick Carlisle on Scott Foster, I think. 748 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,720 Speaker 14: It's awful what some of the things I've seen about 749 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 14: about the officiating and Scott Foster in particular. I know 750 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 14: Scott Foster for thirty years. He's a great official. He's 751 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 14: done a great job in his playoffs. We've had him 752 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:32,640 Speaker 14: a lot of times. And the ridiculous scrutiny that's being 753 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 14: thrown out there is terrible and unfair and unjust and stupid. 754 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 1: Agree, I agree, and and I just I'm not going 755 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: to make it a habit of calling out people in 756 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: the media who I'm friends with or friendly with, but 757 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: I think those are the people that it looks the 758 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 1: worst for. 759 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 2: It just does you know, It's like. 760 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,880 Speaker 1: In order for that level of conspiracy to take place, 761 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 1: too many people would have to know, and all it 762 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:14,399 Speaker 1: takes is one person, one person to know what they're 763 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: not supposed to know, and the entire league is cooked. 764 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: So no, there is no grand conspiracy. There is no 765 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: way of seting. You know's not some way which Adam 766 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: Silver guarantees that it will go a certain number of games. 767 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: That simply is not true. And anyone who says otherwise 768 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: is just making up things because it's really easy to 769 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: make up things in the media and in social media 770 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: these days, way easier. It's harder to hide, easier to 771 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: make things up. So it doesn't mean that he's a 772 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: perfect official. It doesn't mean it was a perfectly officiated game. 773 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:53,359 Speaker 6: Oh yeah. 774 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: By the way, Ben Mathen, who had an unbelievable game 775 00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,720 Speaker 1: in Game three, he missed too gigant take free throws. 776 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: I think he missed three or four down the stretch. 777 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: I know he missed two gigantic free throws under two 778 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: minutes to go. So what are we actually doing here? 779 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: We're acting like Scott Foster is the reason that that 780 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City won the game. Pacers misshots, missed free throws 781 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,720 Speaker 1: and couldn't and when they had a lead, they couldn't 782 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,280 Speaker 1: keep their foot on the throat of the Oklahoma City thunder. 783 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: That's the story. And this is somebody who has no 784 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't even have to support, have no dog in 785 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: the fight. Watch basketball, no basketball. Didn't like a couple 786 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: of no calls. But I'm not gonna sit there and 787 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: go they were cheating calls. That's bull for people who 788 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: say it, especially people who work in the media. But 789 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: this is also just another reason why you can't pay 790 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: attention to social media because people just don't know what 791 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: They just don't know. Rick Berker joined us ask his 792 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: opinion around the corner.

Why can't you make 822 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 7: a specific finals court? 823 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 6: Right you? 824 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 1: You don't need to make a finals court. They come 825 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: in segments. All you got to do is take out 826 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: exactly paint that segment. It's the Doug Gottlieb Show. It's 827 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. It's Monday. Uh, it's that Tonight is 828 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,839 Speaker 1: going to be Game five of the NBA Finals. Who 829 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: better to catch up with than Rick Buker from Fox 830 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: Sports One and Fox Sports dot Com covering all things NBA. Buke, 831 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: there's there's you know, social media works and really all 832 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 1: forms of media. 833 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 2: You know, when you. 834 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: Have a Scott Foster of fishy in the game and 835 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 1: what some feel like or questionable calls at the end 836 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 1: of a game. You get all kinds of conspiracy theories. 837 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 1: What's your take on the game four? 838 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 13: I thought there were mistakes made by Indiana in the 839 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 13: final two minutes and forty one seconds. I'm certainly not 840 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 13: going to put what transpired there on Scott Foster. I 841 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 13: thought that the Pacers did get a tough whistle in 842 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 13: the first half, and Rick Carlisle apparently feeling like comfortable 843 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 13: with the score maybe and thinking I may need my 844 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 13: challenges later this is probably going to be a close game. 845 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 13: Opted not to challenge any of them, you know. The 846 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 13: only one, the only debatable one was in the final 847 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 13: minutes that I could see, was the shot by Shake 848 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 13: Gill does Alexander that gave Oklahoma City its first second 849 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 13: half lead. But based on the liberal interpretation of what 850 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 13: a gather step is and how loose they are in 851 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 13: callings step back, I don't know that he would have 852 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 13: won that. I would have liked to have seen him 853 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 13: challenge that and seen where it would have gone. But 854 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 13: other than that, my feeling was that the Pacers were 855 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 13: victims of their own hands. They made far too many mistakes. 856 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 13: Their execution wasn't good. They reached in too many situations. Look, 857 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 13: the referees demonstrated, let's let you know how they were 858 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 13: going to call it early on, and I don't know 859 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,799 Speaker 13: that the Pacers adjusted and took that into account in 860 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 13: terms of how they played. So I'm not going to 861 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,880 Speaker 13: I'm not going to put this on Scott Foster. I 862 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 13: thought it was a tough whistle early on. I thought 863 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 13: there were a number of plays, number of calls that 864 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 13: in looking at them at replay clearly went the wrong way. 865 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 13: But that's why you have challenges and and certainly that's 866 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 13: not where the game was decided. I thought the game 867 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 13: was decided in the third quarter. Actually, at the end 868 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,839 Speaker 13: of the third quarter, when the Pacers led, had their 869 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 13: biggest lead by ten, had an opportunity should have, I believe, 870 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 13: should have expanded it to sixteen or eighteen at that 871 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 13: point and made it really difficult for Oklahoma City to 872 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,720 Speaker 13: mount a fourth quarter comeback. And Carlisle had a gas 873 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 13: Obie topping and what appeared to be a gas Pascal 874 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:28,760 Speaker 13: Siakam and an ineffective TJ. McConnell, and an ineffective Andrew 875 00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 13: Nemmhart and he didn't make any changes. He wrote it 876 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 13: to the end, and they scored one point in the 877 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 13: final two minutes. Instead of it being seventeen, it was seven. 878 00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 13: And you just got the feeling like the thunder felt 879 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:41,720 Speaker 13: like they dodged a bullet. 880 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 2: Yep, I would agree. 881 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: You kind of got a step on him when he 882 00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 1: got him down, and yeah, I thought he traveled. 883 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 2: I thought he pushed off. 884 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,720 Speaker 1: But again, well, we've seen enough of those not be called, 885 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: you know, and we've seen enough not be called to 886 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,240 Speaker 1: understand probably why they weren't called. 887 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 2: And look, you miss Ben Mather and missed two free 888 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 2: throws too. 889 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 13: You can't understand that in miss three or four, Yeah, 890 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 13: in three or four, and even like in the final 891 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 13: with seven seconds left, he could have fouled new Dort 892 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:19,360 Speaker 13: and didn't, and the ball swings to Shay and and 893 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 13: them heart and then it is forced to foul him, 894 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 13: and I look, the game was probably out of reach 895 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 13: at that point because you had two fouls on on 896 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 13: on inbounds plays where okay, so you got free throws 897 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 13: and possession of the ball, so the game was already decided. 898 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 13: But that was just a microcosm for me of the 899 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 13: little mistakes that Indiana made. I just got the overall sense, 900 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 13: whether it was from Rick Carlisle or the Pacers, that 901 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 13: they felt like, oh, we've got this, we got them, 902 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 13: and didn't show enough respect for the fact that the 903 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 13: Oklahoma City Thunder were a sixty eight win team and 904 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,239 Speaker 13: that if you had an opportunity to put them in 905 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 13: a deep hole, you needed to do it rather than 906 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,799 Speaker 13: think that, you know what, we're just gonna as we have, 907 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 13: as we've proven we're the better executing team. In the 908 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 13: final minutes, they decided to play that game. And uh, 909 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 13: and and when you don't fully respect an opponent, you 910 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 13: often you often pay the price. The only other other 911 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 13: call that I looked at that that would suss and 912 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 13: I didn't see it in real time the replay was 913 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 13: the turnover by Halliburton where it looked like Dork gave 914 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 13: him a shove in order to get the ball. That's 915 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 13: the only other other other whistle that I saw where 916 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,200 Speaker 13: I was thinking, Okay, they missed one in the final minutes. 917 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 1: Stut Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Uh, what 918 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: do you make of the Desmond Bine trade? 919 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 14: Uh? 920 00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 13: That the Orlando Magic are looking at it and saying, 921 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 13: we've we've got a crazy number of first round picks, 922 00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 13: and we want to go for it. 923 00:50:59,719 --> 00:50:59,919 Speaker 10: Now. 924 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 13: We think we're we think we're one player away from 925 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 13: from making this happen, and we need to kind of 926 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 13: clear up our almost an embarrassment of riches. I was 927 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 13: surprised that the number of picks, to be honest with you, 928 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 13: unprotected first round picks. But I think the way they're 929 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 13: looking at it is, you know what we expect to 930 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 13: be really good, and we look at the uh and 931 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 13: and and therefore, you know, how good are those picks 932 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:31,680 Speaker 13: going to be? And uh and the and the Eastern 933 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 13: Conference is wide open, like nobody knows what the Boston 934 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 13: Celtics are going to be. Nobody's buying the Milwaukee Bucks 935 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 13: right now, Philadelphia seventy six ers, I mean, go down 936 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 13: the line. I think they're looking at it and looking 937 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,880 Speaker 13: at how how how they've played the last year or 938 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 13: two and are saying, you know, the one thing that 939 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 13: we're missing, the big one thing that we're missing is 940 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 13: is three point shooting. And Desmond Bane can certainly give 941 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 13: us that and gives us a very tough, physical backcourt 942 00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 13: between Jal and Suggs and Desmond Vane and so I 943 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 13: think they just decided, you know, we're going to go 944 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 13: for it because at this point we have a bunch 945 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,520 Speaker 13: of young players, like we can't all the picks that 946 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 13: we have, We're not going to be able to utilize 947 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 13: them all. So I think they probably gave get almost 948 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,240 Speaker 13: practically gave away a couple in this case. 949 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 2: Uh. 950 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,279 Speaker 1: Where are we with Kevin Durant in regards to the 951 00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 1: likelihood of him being traded and destinations? 952 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,840 Speaker 13: Well, the interesting you know, the report is that Houston, 953 00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 13: San Antonio and Miami Heat are his preferred destinations. As 954 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 13: we know with star players, they generally you're picking from 955 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 13: the teams that they want to go to, and so 956 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 13: you know, who can make the best deal or how 957 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,360 Speaker 13: much that he directs like I want to go to 958 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 13: this particular place. I mean, it really comes down to 959 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,879 Speaker 13: if it's those three, both Houston and San Antonio can 960 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 13: make better offers for KD than than than Miami at 961 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:18,960 Speaker 13: this point. That said, at least as starter kits for 962 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:24,920 Speaker 13: what Phoenix is I assume is looking to rebuild. That said, 963 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 13: I believe that the best place for KD would be 964 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,360 Speaker 13: among those three teams. Would be Miami. The absolute best 965 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,839 Speaker 13: place would be for me would be Denver, and I'd 966 00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,879 Speaker 13: be willing to move Jamal Murray in order to make 967 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 13: that happen. And I would sell Phoenix on the idea 968 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 13: that we're going to give you the point guard you 969 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 13: guys have been looking for since Chris Paul left town. 970 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,760 Speaker 13: And and the money that that Jamal is making comes 971 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 13: close to what KD is, So it wouldn't be a 972 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 13: one for one, but it could be fairly close. And 973 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 13: I love the idea of of Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic 974 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 13: and k D as being the core of my of 975 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000 Speaker 13: my Denver team. I think if they had that core, 976 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 13: I put them right there as as being capable of 977 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 13: playing with anybody in the West, and I probably favor 978 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 13: them regardless of what Oklahoma City does in the next week. 979 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 2: Wow. 980 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio, that's the 981 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,399 Speaker 1: voice of Rick Buker, New York Knicks head coaching job 982 00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: still reports that Jason Kidd is the guy. Uh, but 983 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:36,839 Speaker 1: they continue to get turned down, and then of course 984 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 1: the internet has fun with it. You know that the 985 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: Bucks offered up Doc Rivers on the Knicks refuse this time. 986 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,000 Speaker 1: Like you've heard all of those, what's the reality to 987 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 1: where they are in their head coaching search? 988 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 13: They I mean, they're they're they're searching for an answer 989 00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 13: right now. I do believe that while the Jason Kidd 990 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 13: thing was turned down, I would not be surprised if 991 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 13: we end up revisiting that. It really comes down to, 992 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 13: And I haven't had a chance to talk to Jason 993 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 13: or anybody in his camp yet, but I I could 994 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,959 Speaker 13: see where he pushes the needle and tries to make 995 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 13: make that, tries to reopen that from his end, because 996 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 13: it wasn't Jason Kidd rejecting the request, it was the 997 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 13: Dallas Maverick saying we're not going to let you talk 998 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,479 Speaker 13: to our guy. And uh, and then it comes down 999 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 13: to are they willing willing to give up a pick 1000 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,440 Speaker 13: or is Dallas posturing in order if we do give 1001 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,239 Speaker 13: him up, then you're gonna have to give us a 1002 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,720 Speaker 13: little bit more than than maybe was originally a thought. 1003 00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 13: So that's where I would expect I would expect that 1004 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 13: to go. But look, Uh, every GM that I've ever 1005 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:55,879 Speaker 13: talked to always has a list in his pocket of 1006 00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:00,000 Speaker 13: the head coaches that he would hire if he could 1007 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 13: his wish list, and it's regardless of whether he has 1008 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 13: a coach that he likes at the time or not. 1009 00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 13: They always have that. And the way the Knicks have 1010 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 13: approached this would make you think that they that they 1011 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,399 Speaker 13: didn't have a wish list like that, because even if 1012 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 13: you look at the guys that they've supposedly requested interviews from, 1013 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:28,520 Speaker 13: they're all different. They're all like they're just across the board. 1014 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 13: They don't make a whole lot of sense for what 1015 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 13: the New York Knicks have and where they are. So 1016 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:41,680 Speaker 13: it's hard to predict what they're doing when one you 1017 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,719 Speaker 13: don't we've got multiple people in the front office that 1018 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,800 Speaker 13: put out information, you don't know which one to trust. 1019 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 13: And two, the proof is in the way they've approached this, 1020 00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 13: which is a scattergun approach. It just does not fit 1021 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,920 Speaker 13: with every other coach search that I've seen. Look, I 1022 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,439 Speaker 13: thought from the very beginning, if you're the first place 1023 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 13: I would go is Taylor Jenkins. So I think he 1024 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 13: got the short stick in Memphis, and I think he 1025 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 13: demonstrated that with a scoring point guard, he knows how 1026 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 13: to run a team like that, And I know that 1027 00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 13: he had the respect of his players until the front 1028 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 13: office undercut him and brought in some assistant coaches to 1029 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 13: run the kind of offense that the front office thought 1030 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 13: that they should run. That's the first place that I 1031 00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 13: would have gone. And maybe the second would have been 1032 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,000 Speaker 13: not Chris Finch to the Minnesota Timberwolves for his assistant 1033 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 13: coach Michael Nori because Norri. Because we've got a chance 1034 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 13: to see him coach that team in the playoffs, and 1035 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 13: I think that from what I know about his personality, 1036 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 13: I think he'd be able to handle the New York market. 1037 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 13: Those would have been the first two places that I 1038 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 13: would have gone. And not an array of coaches who 1039 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,600 Speaker 13: have current jobs and you have to get permission from 1040 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 13: their teams in order to just talk to them. 1041 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: Awesome stuff.
