16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: about this the two second best words in sports?

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: Which, of course game seven? We get a game seven today,

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: we get a game seven tomorrow. In the NBA, the

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: two best words in sports, of course are super Bowl.

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Right, we all know that. I don't know what we've

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: talked about this before. Get them, Rich, Yeah, get them now.

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: This is this is absolutely accurate. I wont percent agree

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: with Brian though, I mean when when you have these series.

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 5: I love I love Game sevens, don't get me wrong,

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 5: And I think Brian is saying the same thing. It's

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: the second best. That means it's still really really fun.

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: It's just not as good as the Super Bowl, you know,

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: like Lebron has had a great career, awesome, legendary second best,

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: second best like that.

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Not quite Jordan getting hot and spicy early today, But seven, Lebron,

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: you can do a whole lot worse than Lebron's legendary career. Jared, right,

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: like Game seven that pet still very high on the list. Yeah, well,

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the cliche of it makes me

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: on your side here, right, because I'm not. I think

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: the cliche kind of wears out how awesome Game sevens are.

36
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Some of them could be pretty awful. But also, to

37
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: be fair, that super Bowl we had a few months

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: ago wasn't exactly a nail bier.

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 6: That was rare though, that was rare show.

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: It's rare instance. It wasn't great.

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 6: But we do have a Game seven to look forward to.

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: Today, we'll get to Clippers at the Nuggets, and then

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: at Game seven tomorrow we'll have the Warriors on the

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: road in a Game seven against the Young Bucks the

45
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets, and we'll start there before we get to

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: seton Game seven or sevens. Let's get back to Game

47
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: six last night and the Warriors. I don't know who

48
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: kidnapped the Warriors is like you just mentioned the Super Bowl, Jared,

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: I don't know who kidnapped the Chiefs in the first half.

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: And especially Mahomes.

51
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: I don't know who replaced Mahomes with like Nayan Piterman

52
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: in the first half of the Super Bowl.

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 6: But it was the same thing with the Warriors last night.

54
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 3: The Warriors did not look like themselves at all. Give

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: the Rockets all the credit, they looked fantastic, but that

56
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: was a spot where the Rockets, they're wet, five and

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: a half point underdogs, were expecting them to Most people

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: are expecting them to at least lose. Maybe the Warriors

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: don't cover the spread. The Warriors got waxed, So I

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: think they got kidnapped last night and replaced with I

61
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: don't know, like the Charlotte Hornets or something like that.

62
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: They didn't look like themselves at all.

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: No, I completely agree the Warriors, who typically looked like

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 5: the steadier, tougher, smarter team in the postseason with all

65
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: that experience they have, they're now facing elimination.

66
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: Because it's just it's.

67
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: Like the two teams flip flopped, like the Rockets were

68
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 5: the team that looked steadier and smarter and more experienced

69
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: than Fred Van Fleet had an awesome three quarters of play.

70
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: I think he played some heady basketball and obviously.

71
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: Sort of showed the path for the rest of this group.

72
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 5: And what a job by the Rockets getting out of

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 5: their own way and allowing the water or the Warriors

74
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: to kind of deconstruct in the final quarter. Yeah, it's

75
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 5: it's interesting when you see a team that should be

76
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 5: better in a situation struggle because oftentimes you don't, you know,

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: especially in a seven game series, like especially when you

78
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 5: know the better team is supposed to bear out and

79
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: and maybe that's not what's happening, or maybe that is

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: what's happening, and it's just the Rockets time. They're certainly younger,

81
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 5: but what they just stared down facing elimination on the

82
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 5: road at the Chase Center, and we know how that

83
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: place can be, especially when the Warriors are in the

84
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: postseason and do what they did in Game six.

85
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 4: Anything's possible in game seven.

86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: So you know what this remind of. This very much

87
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: reminds me of two years ago when the Warriors played

88
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: the Kings, and the Kings were just this upstart, like

89
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: the beam, right. They started the series two to zero,

90
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: and then Golden State came back and won three straight.

91
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: They went into Sacramento Game five and won, and then

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: they went back to Game six and everyone thought the

93
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: Warriors were going to close out the series at home.

94
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: In Game six, they got blown out. They lost by twenty.

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: Then they went back in Game seven on the road

96
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: in Sacramento, young team won by twenty. Because it just

97
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: I think the game seven vibes sometimes throws off certain teams,

98
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: like Game six backs against the wall, nothing to lose,

99
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: nothing to game, leave it all out there on the court.

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: Now you're in a Game seven, you can actually win

101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: the series. We call this the sphincter tightening, right, The

102
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: sphincter tightens up just a little bit when you're like, wow,

103
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: we could actually win this series, and then you fall short,

104
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Like I would not be shocked if the Warriors went

105
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: into Houston and blew the doors off of them tomorrow night.

106
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: I like how you laid that out. I really do and.

107
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: I think I've said this before on the show, but

108
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: I'll say it again. It reminds me of my dad

109
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: what you just laid out there, Jared, because there were

110
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 3: times where I was growing up and you might have

111
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: felt like this with your dad every now and then,

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: but you would clash, and sometimes I would think.

113
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 2: You know, I think I could kick my dad's ass,

114
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: you know, I really do.

115
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 6: I think I'm stronger than him right now.

116
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: And then a thought came into my head where I'm like,

117
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 3: he has this setting, you know, as a man who's

118
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: been through a lot of life experiences, right like the

119
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: world makes you tougher, and he has a setting that

120
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: he's programmed with something I call oh hell no, right,

121
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 3: he's programmed with that, and if we blows, he would

122
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: have this setting of like, oh, hell no, my son

123
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 3: who was.

124
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: Going got got goo goo? When I'm like trying to

125
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: put food on the table. No, hell no, he's not

126
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: beating me up.

127
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 6: Right like.

128
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 3: And so it's a little bit like that, Jared, where

129
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: you think about the Warriors last night to start the

130
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: fourth quarter they lost.

131
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 6: They missed thirteen shots in a row.

132
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: They missed thirteen straight shots in a closeout game.

133
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 6: And what you explained.

134
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: It can work the other way where the Warriors they

135
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: let an opportunity slip away and now all of a

136
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: sudden it's like, okay, Game seven, backs against the wall,

137
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: do or die? Bring it on, you know, and getting

138
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: points on top of that. Yeah, it's just funny, right,

139
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: Like sometimes we have amnesia during a series where the

140
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: Warriors were huge favorites, I think, too huge at the

141
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: beginning to win this series, and now they're dogs on

142
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: the road in game seven. So I don't think you

143
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: can completely forget about where we started and where the

144
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: expectations were for the war years before you saw last

145
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: night and them get kicked around.

146
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 5: I agree with that because you also have to remember

147
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: they've got a little bit of the secret sauce they

148
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: have obviously Draymond, but two particular players who step up

149
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 5: in a major way in Game sevens Curry. I'll give

150
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: you the data. Curry has played in five game sevens.

151
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 5: He's averaged thirty two point six point seven assists, six

152
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 5: and a half rebounds, and oh his most recent Game seven,

153
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 5: it was a blistering fifty piece on the Kings in Sacramento.

154
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Yep.

155
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 5: So you go from him to Butler, who in his

156
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 5: four appearances has hoisted twenty two points four rebounds on average.

157
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 5: That doesn't begin to tell the impact. Because Butler terrorized

158
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 5: the Celtics both times that he faced them in Game

159
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 5: sevens thirty one points, eight rebounds and almost sent the

160
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 5: Celtics home twice. He missed the jumper in the final

161
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: seconds of one game against the Celtics in a Game

162
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: seven matchup that obviously allowed them to survive. But my

163
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: point being, when you have two guys with an incredible

164
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 5: abundance of Game seven experience, not just postseas in experience,

165
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: but game seven experience, you're looking at a real challenge

166
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: even when you're hosting them. Because home court advantage only

167
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 5: lasts for a quarter. Sometimes, if you have a team

168
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 5: that's absolutely shelling the home team, it doesn't really matter

169
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: after that. And how many of those Game sevens between

170
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 5: Butler and Curry have been on the road, I can't

171
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 5: tell you that. I don't have that stat, but I

172
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 5: know some of them, and and that's an important stat.

173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: Experience matters. It does in the postseason.

174
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: Yes, you're telling me, I get Jimmy Butler and Steph

175
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: Curry and I get three points huh, well, I mean,

176
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: where do I sign up for that in a Game seven?

177
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: I think you got to give the Rockets a lot

178
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: of credit Van Fleet especially, you know, the the veteran

179
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 2: really on this on this Rockets team that has been there,

180
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: done that really impressive stuff from him. I think Green's

181
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: been a little bit underwhelming, but sang Gooons and June

182
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: we've been, you know, trying to figure out how pronounce

183
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: the name properly. He's been a rock star. I had

184
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: an alternate assist prop on him the other night that

185
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: was like he hit it in the first half, like

186
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: he had like nine assists in the game. He almost

187
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: had a triple double and he's not a triple double guy.

188
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: So you definitely give a lot of credit to this

189
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: Rockets team. I know Dylan Brooks has kind of been

190
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: there before as well, So those are the two real

191
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: veterans on this team. But the young guys have stepped

192
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: up nicely. I need to see more from Green though.

193
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: But on the on the Warriors side, like let's just

194
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 2: talk about the number for a minute, right, Like they

195
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: were a four point dog on the road in Game five.

196
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: Now it's three, all right, what's changed between Game five?

197
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: And Game seven not a whole lot, you know. And

198
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: I know that the Rockets look hot right now. They've

199
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: scored one thirty one, one fifteen on the road last night,

200
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: like they look good. But they also had eighty five

201
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: points at home in Game one, so there certainly is

202
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: the potential for this thing to flip the other way.

203
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 2: And then you talk about the total, you know, I

204
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: know you're gonna be all over. This totals around two hundred.

205
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: This is by far the lowest total of the series.

206
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: The Game one total was two thirteen. Again, what's changed

207
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: in two weeks that this total has now dropped thirteen points.

208
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: I think the game seven vibes sometimes overwhelm the market,

209
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: where the total gets suppressed too much because it's a

210
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: Game seven, and there's actually value on the over. So

211
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: I think underdog and over for both games tonight Clippers Nuggets, tomorrow,

212
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: Warriors Rockets. That's kind of what I'm vibing here. Interesting.

213
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: I like that the little uh, what would you say

214
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: under over underdogs?

215
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, underdogs and over totals.

216
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 3: And by the way, I know you're scoring at home.

217
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 3: You mentioned two thirteen, which we all know is.

218
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: A Selayer song right there, So It's a perfect way

219
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: to bookend this. This is beautiful, you know, ending to

220

00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:14,840

252
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: he will no longer be the head coach of the

253
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: San Antonio Spurs. Pop is stepping down from that role.

254
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: He'll transition to be the full time team president. So

255
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: no longer head coach, he'll be team president. He has

256
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: had some health issues. He had a minor stroke back

257
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 3: in November, and he decided the grind of coaching was

258
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: too much to continue, which you can certainly appreciate right there,

259
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: and what a.

260
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 6: Run though, here's my thing.

261
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: The first question is this, what do you think Pop's

262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: most impressive accomplishment is? And when you read off like

263
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: the dinner menu, it's like Wow, this is what in

264
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: stellar dinner we're about to have right here, right Like, Okay,

265
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: twenty nine seasons with the Spurs, that's the most with

266
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: the single franchise, over fourteen hundred regular season wins. That's

267
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 3: the most all time. Five championships, that's tied for third

268
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: all time. He won Coach of the Year three times,

269
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: it's tied for the most all time.

270
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 6: Eighteen straight fifty win seasons.

271
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: The longest streak of all time, and then he led

272
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: the Spurs to twenty two straight playoff appearances. When I

273
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: rattle that off, what would you put at the top

274
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: of the list? What leads off the rest of the

275
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: accomplishments in your mind?

276
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 7: Rich?

277
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: Uh? Who? Man?

278
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: I want to say, consistency matters, especially when there's consistency

279
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 5: over a long period of time. Like one of the

280
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 5: most impressive things, for example, about Mike Tomlin with the

281
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers is he's never had a losing.

282
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: Record over the course of his career.

283
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 5: Well, Popovich led the Spurs to a winning record in

284
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 5: each of his first twenty two full seasons.

285
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: Wow.

286
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 5: Like, to me, that's one of those streaks that I'm

287
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: not sure will ever see matched. It's just insane, and

288
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: the fact that he's been this good for this long

289
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: is the reason why the Spurs still want whatever that

290
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 5: magic is.

291
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: Within their building.

292
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: You know, when Danny ainstepped down in Boston, Brad Stevens

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 5: took that job, I think it was summer of twenty

294
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: twenty one, right after the postseason, and moved up the ladder,

295
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 5: and he's still part of the organization.

296
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: I think that's that's what the Spurs.

297
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 5: Are thinking along the same lines of is hey, we

298
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 5: don't want to lose the brain trust. We just want

299
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 5: to obviously allow him to put the car in neutral

300
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 5: a little bit and to get what he needs out

301
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: of life as he's getting much older. And also you

302
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 5: still benefit from his knowledge and his wisdom.

303
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: I agree. I think longevity would be the word I'll use. Actually,

304
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: I'll use a better word, bookends. And what do I

305
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: mean by that? So he won his first title in

306
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine and he won his last title in

307
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, So that's a fifteen year bookend. How many

308
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: coaches can say that they went a fifteen year gap

309
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: and won a title on each end of it. And

310
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: I know he's coached for significantly longer since then. But

311
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: I think it's like maybe one or two coaches like

312
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson, right, like nineties with the Lakers or nineties

313
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: with the Bulls and then later on with the Lakers.

314
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Even Red hourback Like I'm looking at Red Hourbacks numbers. Now,

315
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: he won all of his titles in a very short

316
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: time period, like all in like a ten year span.

317
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: So the bookends of being able to do it for

318
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 2: that long of a period of time at the top

319
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: of your field in a fifteen year window with the

320
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: same team, I think is the way I would sum

321
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: up his career best.

322
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I don't think there's a wrong answer, unless

323
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 3: you say, like his record against the Charlotte Hornets.

324
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: I don't know, so I guess there could be.

325
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the wrong answer.

326
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, if you're looking at you right, if you're

327
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: looking at all the top accomplishments. I hate to be simplistic,

328
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 3: but it's the five championships, sure, that's what it is.

329
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: Because listen, the longevity is great. You know, the twenty

330
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: two straight postseason appearances, that's great. The longevity in terms

331
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: of like what you pointed out Rich, the not having

332
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: a losing record for all those seasons in a row.

333
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: All of that is great, but if he doesn't have championships,

334
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: we're all collectively saying, yeah, but where are the rings?

335
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

336
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: Like the rings strengthen everything else, but without the rings,

337
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: everything else looks like, Okay, you did all this, but

338
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: you couldn't win it all.

339
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 6: So that right, So that's the way it goes.

340
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: You've got the ultimate success or else that's the thing

341
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: that's lacking on your resume.

342
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 6: Put it this way, if.

343
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin he's got one ring, but imagine if he

344
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: didn't have one ring with the Steelers and he's got

345
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: all these records, you know, over five hundred every single year,

346
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 3: we'd be like, that's great, but can you actually win

347
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: a ring. We've got this coach who's not as good

348
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 3: as you are, he's got ring. Where's your ring?

349
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 4: Right?

350
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 3: Like, so you've got to have that championship success and

351
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: he had it five of them, And I like what

352
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 3: you said that the gap in between how long, Like

353
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 3: a lot of coaches don't last fifteen years in the NBA,

354
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: let alone win a title like in ninety nine and

355
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: then twenty fourteen. So I think it's the rings above

356
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: all else and all these other accomplishments are huge, and

357
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: other coaches to.

358
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 6: Be lucky to get there.

359
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: But think of a guy like Jerry Sloan who had

360
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: a great, great career with the Utah Jazz was there

361
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: forever and they have a ring, And we don't talk

362
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: about Jerry Sloan as one of the greats because he

363
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: didn't win a ring that we talk about Greg Popovich

364
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: being one of the greats, if not the greatest of

365
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: all time because of those rings.

366
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 5: I definitely don't disagree, and I think that you framed

367
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 5: it perfectly, that the things that Jared and I both

368
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 5: pointed out they're great. But Jared was really focusing on

369
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 5: two of his titles, and I was focusing on a

370
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 5: stretch of his career from the time when he was

371
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 5: a rookie coach until he was twenty two seasons in

372
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: where he didn't turn in a single losing record, which

373
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: is unbelievable. Yeah, but still without the championships, what are

374
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 5: you gonna say, you know, I mean, now, has it

375
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 5: been matched, Yeah, sure, but it puts him in a

376
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 5: rarefied air. Having five championships puts him in a rarefied

377
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: air that very few will ever touch, A very few

378
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 5: have ever done. And when you think about the type

379
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 5: of person it takes to manage personalities through decades, it

380
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 5: takes a lot of evolution, It takes.

381
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: A lot of personal growth.

382
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an older man in twenty fourteen who's

383
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: still able to inspire and encourage players who are now

384
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 5: much much younger than he was when, you know, in

385
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 5: terms of the age difference, the age gap than in

386
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 5: the nineties winning championships, and that matters. Hey, you know

387
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 5: what when you're a kid, when you're you know, twenty one,

388
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 5: twenty two year old kid, and you're looking at a

389
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 5: thirty six year old that guy seems so old.

390
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: To you, but they're really not.

391
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 5: You know, from the coaches perspective, you're like, jeez, I

392
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 5: mean I used to be there like yesterday, Like I

393
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: was twenty one yesterday. When you're thirty six, you look

394
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 5: back at twenty one twenty two and you go, oh

395
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 5: my gosh, like I can't believe it's been fifteen years,

396
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 5: you know.

397
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: But then when you're when you're forty five.

398
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 5: When you're fifty five, and you're looking back at twenty

399
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: two years old. Some of these guys coming into the

400
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 5: League younger than that at that point in his career,

401
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: when it's twenty fourteen and Pop is cobbling together a

402
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 5: championship with Kawhi Leonard and some of the remaining pieces

403
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: left over from the Duncan era, You're like, man, can

404
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 5: I do this again?

405
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: And the truth is he found a way. Yes.

406
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 5: The answer was yes, he could do it again. And

407
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: that's really impressive to be able to grow and to

408
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 5: evolve and still find a way to connect with the

409
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 5: locker room after all those years.

410
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was doing some reading because a lot of

411
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, you get a lot of like pieces

412
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 2: that come out about his life, his coaching career, and

413
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: like how he's kind of grown into the role that

414
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: he's in now. I read a really interesting article on

415
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: the Athletic that was posted very early this morning by

416
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: Rust and Dodd, and he taught me something about Pap

417
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: I didn't know. His first job was at a D

418
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: three program in southern California, and he went two and

419
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: twenty two in his first year, if five losing seasons

420
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: out of his first seven years, and then all of

421
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: a sudden, in his thirties, he took a sabbatical in

422
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 2: Lawrence Kansas and he spent a year shadowing at the

423
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: time Kansas coach Larry Brown, and that's kind of when

424
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: it all changed for him. It kind of clicked right,

425
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: Like he had a ton of failure, Like he failed miserably.

426
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: He was in D three, two and twenty two in

427
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: his first career, like in D three and failed miserably

428
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: as a coach, and then took a break, took a

429
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: sabbatical and recalibrated his approach, and then he came back

430
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: and then of course, you know, ascended from there. And

431
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: I think that's a great lesson I think, and I

432
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 2: use this in my dating life now today that I'm

433
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 2: kind of in like the second chapter of it. If

434
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: you haven't failed at dating at this age, like I'm

435
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: thirty nine, I usually date women in their thirties, Like,

436
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: if you haven't failed at it yet, I don't want

437
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: to talk to you because I don't want to be

438
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 2: your first failure. Everyone fails at something that they're trying

439
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: to accomplish in the long term at first. You can't

440
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: be successful at something unless you fail at it first.

441
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: The most successful people on the planet are just the

442
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: people that have failed the most and didn't quit that's

443
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: just the way success is. You're like very rarely do

444
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: you just wake up and you're just successful right out

445
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: of the gate. You need to overcome adversity. You need

446
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: to learn how hard something is to really understand the

447
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: struggle behind it. And that I didn't know that about Pop,

448
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: that he had such a failure early on in his career,

449
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: like a terrible failure, D three burnout and then came

450
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 2: back and ascended to this greatness. It's a really interesting story.

451
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 6: No, it's a great note right there.

452
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: Draymond Green said something about Pop last night and he

453
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: was emotional.

454
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 6: He was almost moved to tears.

455
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: Like when I say, how would you describe Draymond Green.

456
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 6: I don't know that you would say, you know, big.

457
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: Teddy Bear, that Draymond Green like that at all.

458
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: But listen to what Draymond Green said about Pop and

459
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: it really speaks to you, like put the accomplishments to

460
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: the side and just talk about the.

461
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 6: Dude and connecting.

462
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: It's sort of what you were talking about, Rich is

463
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 3: connecting with players that are much younger than you and

464
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: you're able to do Like how what's one of the

465
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: main reasons he was able to do that? Here's Draymond

466
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: last night on his relationship with Pop.

467
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 8: It just appears as if he's like this mean old man,

468
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 8: and he is the complete opposite, like complete opposite, the

469
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 8: nicest person you ever want to be around.

470
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: He cares about people so much.

471
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 8: And I was lucky enough and honored to have the

472
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 8: opportunity to spend a summer with him and play for him.

473
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 8: I gave him my shoes from the gold medal game.

474
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 8: He wore them to the next first game, played them,

475
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 8: and every hug since there hasn't been so much to me,

476
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 8: just to go over to the sideline and hug him,

477
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 8: and to see him leave this game from the sideline.

478
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 8: Obviously they say he'll be the president, but that does

479
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 8: nothing for me, but to not you know, it's sucked

480
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 8: playing against the Spurs this year and look over and

481
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 8: not see him there, and to know that I'll never

482
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 8: get the opportunity again. I just wish I had one

483
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 8: last time to go hug him on the sideline.

484
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 4: Wow.

485
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 3: Right, that's again, that's Draymond Green. It's fiery, some people say,

486
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: as crazy as it gets, and he's like, I freaking

487
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 3: love this guy. You can't feel that way about someone

488
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: who's just only about themselves. And that's what you hear

489
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: about Pop time and time and time again. It's these dinners,

490
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: these famous dinners where he's like, all right, you know,

491
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: let's go eat and the wine is.

492
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 2: Flowing, and he was just like that.

493
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: And it's funny because you get these sideline interviews that

494
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: he hated doing. He detested doing those in game interviews,

495
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: and you might think, like.

496
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: Man, this guy is like the he is so crotchety.

497
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 3: But there was that other side, like you're not gonna

498
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 3: have players warm up to you if you're just gruff

499
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: with them all the time.

500
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 6: And so he absolutely had that other setting.

501
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 3: So hey, what a career on the sideline for Pop

502
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: is one of the best, if not the best. And

503
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: I think that's the other thing is when you start

504
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: seeing the coaches last night, like Emi Udoka, Steve Kerr,

505
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: like these guys like the tree you know we always

506
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: talk about, like the Bill Walsh coaching tree and some

507
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: of the best head coaches ever, like the Greg Popovich

508
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: coaching tree. That's part of his legacy. Also, it's not

509
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: just what he did, it's what he helped others come about

510
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 3: and what they're doing as well. So man, it goes

511
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 3: even deeper than just his accomplishments and what he did

512
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: over the course of his time.

513
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, and what Draymond's words spoke to is thoughtfulness. And

514
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 5: I'm always baffled when I'm around a really thoughtful person.

515
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 5: I know in my life I've become more thoughtful. I've

516
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 5: been around great examples, my wife being one of them.

517
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 5: She's taught me a lot about empathy and how to

518
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: see things through other people's perspectives. And I think that's

519
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: what it takes to be an excellent head coach and

520
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: one who can sort of span those decades that he's coached.

521
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 5: It's being able to empathize with somebody even though some

522
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 5: of their pursuits and some of their emotional toil seems juvenile.

523
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: And it seems it seems so.

524
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 5: Fleeting because you have this perspective of being an aged,

525
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 5: mature person in this world and ah, you know, who

526
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: cares if she broke up with your kid?

527
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 4: You know, get back on the horse.

528
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 5: There's plenty of fision to see whatever people usually say

529
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 5: to try to, you know, sort of flick off the

530
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 5: importance of something that is absolutely wrecking somebody. Because the

531
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 5: worst thing that's ever happened to you is the worst

532
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 5: thing that's ever happened to you.

533
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 4: You know, you don't have.

534
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: The perspective of a seventy year old man on the

535
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 5: sidelines of your basketball team telling you, Hey, whatever's happening

536
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: in your personal life, you've got to put it aside

537
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 5: and focus on the most important thing in the world

538
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: right now. That's that's going to echo into your into

539
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 5: your your life and your your career. And you know,

540
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 5: if we win this championship, nobody wants to hear that

541
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 5: when their heart's been broken, or nobody wants to hear

542
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 5: that when a parent's been you know, when something's happened

543
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 5: in your personal life that's disastrous to you, right you know.

544
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 5: And and that's what a coach has to be sometimes

545
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: is a part time psychologist. And that's what Draymond Green

546
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 5: is alluding to there. He coached him for a summer. Draymond,

547
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 5: out of gratefulness, gives him a pair of sneakers, pair

548
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 5: of basketball shoes. Months and months and months later, when

549
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 5: the Spurs faced the Warriors, pops wearing those shoes, he

550
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 5: didn't even talk about whether or not they're the same size.

551
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, like, that's just a keepsake,

552
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: that's just a gift, that's something you put up on

553
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 5: your shelf in your office.

554
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: For Greg Popovich.

555
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 5: Instead, he popped them on his feet, and whether they

556
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 5: were three eight six sizes too big, he wore them

557
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: on the sideline the next time the Warriors were in town,

558
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 5: just to show back to Draymond Man, I value you too.

559
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 5: I'm grateful for you too. Look at the shoes, the

560
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 5: ones you gifted me. I'm wearing them, thanks Draymond. Like

561
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 5: those are the thoughtful that those are the examples of

562
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 5: thoughtfulness that not only a great man, but a great

563
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 5: coach embodies. And it is the reason why he was

564
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: able to have success and connect with locker rooms for

565
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: that entire span. It is just a small example, I

566
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 5: promise you there were many many examples, And Brian, you

567
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 5: brought up, you know, the dinner table conver stations that

568
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 5: he would have these famous dinners that he would have

569
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: with players and coaches and the like, where you know,

570
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 5: people walked away feeling like they a whole new world

571
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 5: was open to them because he's he's so wise. Greg

572
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 5: Popovich will be missed by basketball being on the sideline

573
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: hopefully his impact is still felt as a front office

574
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 5: member of the San Antonio Spurs.

575
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: I think it will be. I think that's like my

576
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: guess is and I joked, I did a show yesterday.

577
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: This is like we needed like an episode of secession

578
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: about you know how this plan probably has been concocted

579
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: over the last couple of years because you know Pop's

580
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: health concerns and obviously you know Father times undefeated with

581
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. I'm sure there was some kind

582
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: of plan in place for a significant amount of time

583
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: when the inevitability happens that he was going to take

584
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: a step back. It kind of the vibes I'm getting

585
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: here today, And I never thought I was gonna make

586
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: this comparison, but let's make it. Are we are we

587
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: in the Ted Lasso vicinity here with Greg Popovich. I mean,

588
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,239
Speaker 2: don't if you guys are familiar with that show, but

589
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: like the whole vibe of that show is Ted doesn't care,

590
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, wins or losses on the field or on

591
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: the pitch soccer. He's more about making these men better

592
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: people off the field, and you know, kind of giving

593
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: his life lessons and his positive affirmations to make them

594
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: better humans, and I know that. Obviously pop cares very

595
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: much about what happens on the court wins and losses.

596
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: Ted Lasso is a little bit of a sack Hire

597
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: in that sense, but there is a there is a

598
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: little bit of ted lasso Ian vibes with the Draymond story,

599
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: Like that's where That's what I get from it.

600
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 6: No, it makes sense, it does, you know?

601
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: You know, gosh these platforms, man, like if you if

602
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: you went all in, what it would cost you, like

603
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: Apple Plus.

604
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 6: I'm not an Apple Plus guy.

605
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: No, I mean, like, I mean, but it's so good.

606
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: I know, I know it is so good. I'm familiar

607
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: with it. But like again, if you're going on like.

608
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: Hey, I gotta get Max.

609
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,520

646
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: Game seven, Baby, all right, so it's the NBA theme

647
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: again this week. I think we hit last week. I

648
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 2: actually forget. It was a very exciting weekend. But I

649
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: forget if we hit last week or not. But let's

650
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: go back to the NBA. Let's just say we did. Yeah,

651
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: let's just say we did.

652
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 4: We're on a winning streak.

653
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: Let's go for two this week. Game seven unders. That's

654
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: usually the vibe, right, And I understand what you're thinking.

655
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: Game seven. Things tighten up, fewer possessions. Those are all facts.

656
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 2: But in the first round over the last twenty years,

657
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: actually more overs than unders in game seven, sixteen and

658
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: fifteen since two thousand and two. And why well, the

659
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 2: market adjusts down and sometimes it adjusts too much. For example,

660
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: Clippers Nugget Game one of this series, the total was

661
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: two twenty five. That game wasn't played last year. That

662
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: game was played two weeks ago. And now we're seeing

663
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: in Game seven tonight two oh seven and a half.

664
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: So let's buy a point off of that, and let's

665
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: go two oh six and a half. And let's go

666
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: over with the Clippers and Nuggets. I think the Clippers

667
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: offense with James Harden found something in Game six, and

668
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see a little bit more offense

669
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: than the market is expecting. Numbers adjusted too much over

670
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 2: Clippers Nuggets Game seven tonight, All right, give.

671
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 5: Me Clippers plus three and a half. Uh look, I'll

672
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 5: give you three reasons.

673
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: You probably don't need them.

674
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 5: But star power between Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Harden

675
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 5: at a big bounce back game in Game six.

676
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 4: Kawhi has been.

677
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 5: Playing consistently good over the course of this series against

678
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. Defensive adjustments and lineup changes have helped the

679
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: Clippers exhaust the Nuggets a little bit. I think a

680
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 5: faster tempo and throwing fresher bodies at the Nuggets has

681
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 5: been a little bit of an issue for Denver to

682
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 5: keep up with, and a little bit of a momentum

683
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 5: momentum and defensive shift that's occurred. The front court has

684
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 5: done a nice job against Jokis, Zubac and Jones Junior

685
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 5: have been causing him issues in the paint. If they

686
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 5: keep that up, I think at very least they could

687
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 5: keep it close.

688
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: If not win game seven, give me the Clippers plus three.

689
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: And a half.

690
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna.

691
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 2: Go with the Warriors.

692
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Warriors plus two and a

693
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 3: half in Game seven. Gotta love the zig zag approach

694
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 3: in NBA playoff basketball. You know, the zigzag is basically

695
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 3: what happens the previous game, bet the other way the

696
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 3: next game. And there are a lot of spots where

697
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 3: you have just raked in the cash. And I think

698
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 3: this is a great, a premium zig zag spot where

699
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: last night we just saw the Rockets flex their muscles,

700
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 3: like these these young kids, these these you know, these

701
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: young guns over here right like, look at them push

702
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: around the.

703
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 6: Vets and yeah, that's all cool.

704
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 3: But Game seven, it's all on the line, and I

705
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 3: look at Steph Curry playoff Jimmy, They're gonna have to

706
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 3: ratchet up their defense. But say this, are you more are.

707
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 6: You put it this way?

708
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 4: Are you.

709
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 6: A bigger believer in?

710
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: Say Steph Curry in playoff Jimmy or in Shangoon and

711
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: Van v Leek, and both those guys have been fantastic.

712
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 3: But again, this is game seven. It's all on the line.

713
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: I would take the headliners of the Warriors quicker, and

714
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: then when you're starting to think about the others and

715
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: what I would coin the other others, like the you

716
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 3: got role players and then you have the even lesser

717
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 3: role players.

718
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 6: When you look.

719
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: Collectively, I could absolutely see the non headliners of the

720
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 3: Warriors out performing the Rockets, and so I think you're

721
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 3: gonna see a much different Golden State team in Game seven.

722
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: They let one slip through their fingers last night at home,

723
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 3: and I think they have put it this way. They

724
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: have a whole hell noe switch right, like, oh no,

725
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 3: we're not going out like this. I don't know that

726
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: the young gun Rockets quite have that switch chest yet

727
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 3: we'll find out. Game stuff is gonna be a lot

728
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: of fun. But I've got the Warriors plus the points.

729
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: What are we looking at payout wise?

730
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 4: Here? Like you?

731
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 2: Well, I have a question for you being home, Okay,

732
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: you want to go safe and buy a point and

733
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: get at the three and a half. If you do

734
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 2: that with the Warriors, we got plus four ninety one.

735
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: If you go straight two and a half, which is

736
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: your original selection, it's plus five twenty four. If you

737
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: want to get feisty and you go Warriors money line,

738
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 2: which is plus one twenty, then you get up to

739
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 2: six to one on the parlad. So I will allow

740
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: you to choose your own adventure at wild, medium or hot.

741
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 2: I'm trying.

742
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 6: I'm trying to figure out the price is right game.

743
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: This remind Plink Goslin.

744
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: Could we go moneyline, money line, money line?

745
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 2: Oh you want to go money line Warriors, money line Clippers. Well,

746
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: now we're really cooking with gas, all right. Money Line Warriors,

747
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 2: money line Clippers over two oh six and a half

748
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: Clippers Nuggets is plus seven fourteen. Wow, now we're getting up.

749
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: Now we're cooking with gas. I'll put now it's like takata. Yeah.

750
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 3: I could be talked into this depending on Rich's level

751
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: of custo.

752
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 6: Here, but I'll put it this.

753
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: I'll be completely honest with you.

754
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 3: I like the Warriors to win the game, but if

755
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 3: this is a lake of a parlay, I would go

756
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: plus two and a half.

757
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: I would stick with what that's fair. And also the

758
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: total is incredibly low in both of these games, especially

759
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 2: the Warriors Rockets game. I mean we're pushing two hundred

760
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: in that Warrior's Rockets game, which means the points duke

761
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: tend to matter more than like a game that's like,

762
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: for example, you know, Tyabs Pacers is two thirty tomorrow

763
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: a little bit.

764
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: Less, right, And that's the thing, Man, two and a

765
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 3: half doesn't sound like much.

766
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 6: You're like, what's that really gonna do?

767
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: Two and a half might have been him on the

768
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: money line, It's like you would be shocked.

769
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: Especially, Yeah, seven games land two and three of the

770
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: most that's right become in handy. I'll go with plus

771
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: two and a half myself. Yeah, let's let's play it safe.

772
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:49,720
Speaker 4: We're on a winning streak.

773
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: Presumably, let's shame and we'll go plus three and a

774
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: half Clippers plus two and a half Warriors over two

775
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 2: oh six and a half Clippers Nuggets. That is plus

776
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: five twenty four, So five to one not bad.

777
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 4: I think that's solid. That's solid.

778
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 2: Parlot, Saw Parlot.

779
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,200

Speaker 2: It could be anything.

801
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: What do you find the most interesting about the twenty

802
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: twenty five draft? What pick do you think will be

803
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: the most impactful, What will you remember the most? Anything?

804
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 6: An you can go your own way.

805
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 2: I can't hit the high notes today.

806
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know what's going on with my voice.

807
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 3: But what is your main takeaway when it comes to

808
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five NFL Draft as a whole.

809
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 4: I love two of the questions that you asked.

810
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 5: There, my main takeaway and the most impactful player. I'll

811
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 5: start with takeaway defense. I think that the emphasis on

812
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 5: versatility in the defensive backfield continues to be a trend

813
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 5: in the NFL draft, finding players who can play multiple positions.

814
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 5: They can cover out of the slot, they can cover

815
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 5: on the corners of the defense, but also they can

816
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 5: play in the box. You know, there are rare athletes

817
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 5: who can do that, but they're becoming more and more

818
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 5: prevalent at the college level, and teams are gambling with

819
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 5: much higher picks on players like that. And then, of

820
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 5: course it was a deep pass rusher draft. We know that,

821
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 5: and we know that a lot of teams spent high

822
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 5: draft capital to shore up the edges of their defense because,

823
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 5: like we know, if quarterbacks the most important position on

824
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 5: the football field, the very next one you have to

825
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 5: think about is who is going to be harassing the

826
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 5: quarterback on the defensive side of the ball, so defense

827
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 5: is trying to keep up with these high powered passing offenses.

828
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: Is a huge takeaway.

829
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 5: And then in terms of the most impactful player, it's

830
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 5: kind of like just sprinkle instant coffee and water and

831
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 5: go ash Gingenty to the Raiders. I think he's going

832
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 5: to cure a lot of what ails them and they're

833
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 5: going to have to rely on him because I don't

834
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 5: know if they're one hundred percent short up at quarterback.

835
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 5: But I like their offensive coordinator, I like their head coach.

836
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 5: I think they'll work well together. We've seen Carol what

837
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 5: his offense is can look look like, and obviously is

838
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 5: more defensive minded coach, but what he likes to get

839
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 5: done offensively with tempo control and things like that when

840
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 5: he has a bruising running back, you know, during those

841
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 5: Marshawn Lynch years in Seattle. So I think Gashton Genty

842
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 5: is going to be the most impactful player in this

843
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 5: year's draft.

844
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: Wow. I like that a lot. So Mike Clay ESPN

845
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 2: put out his rankings already or his projections i should say,

846
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: for the season, which is incredible by him to have

847
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: the projections out in basically the end of April, and

848
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: I was looking at gent because his props are starting

849
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: to come out, not only Rookie of the Year, which

850
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: I don't really like the bet futures market at you know,

851
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: the favorite. Essentially he's the favorite, but I mean he

852
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: deserves to be the favorite. But Mike Klave's got him

853
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: projected for eleven twenty five as a rookie. I mean,

854
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: that's a really good rookie season. But I'm seeing his

855
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: prop numbers in like the nine to fifty range. So yeah,

856
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 2: I don't love betting running back prop overs. But I

857
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: feel like I'm looking at the rest of this backfield

858
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: and it's most dirt. McCormick is a mere white. I mean,

859
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 2: there's it's slim pickings aarre Vegas for a Gino Smith.

860
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: That is an interesting, I think season that the Raiders

861
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: are gonna have. I kind of like what the Raiders

862
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 2: did in the draft, I really do. And I think

863
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: in general, I think the the general managers are really

864
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: starting to show us their their their hands in a sense.

865
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 2: For example, Brad Holmes now with the Lions, so all

866
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 2: he's been with the team now for I think this

867
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: is his fifth draft, all thirteen of his top two

868
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 2: round picks have all come from Big ten or SEC schools.

869
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Like you can start to map out these

870
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: general managers based off of where they pick, who they pick,

871
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 2: where the players play, what their athlete score is, what

872
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 2: their profiles are, and you can really pin down what

873
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 2: these plans are for these teams. For example, to Rich's

874
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 2: point on the defense, Arizona defensive minded head coach Jonathan

875
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 2: gannon really good quarterback situation.

876
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 4: Right.

877
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: I think Kyler Murray's, you know, in the top half

878
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 2: of the league in terms of quarterback situations. I put

879
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 2: him in that realm so they didn't need a ton

880
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: on offense. You can always use more offense. Arizona went

881
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 2: defense in the first round, defense in the second round,

882
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: defense in the third round, defense in the fourth round,

883
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: defense in the fifth round. Profile of the head coach

884
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: to the team, let's flip the coin to Jacksonville. Jacksonville

885
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: with an offensive minded head coach. To I know Travis

886
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: Hunter plays both ways, but I think based on what

887
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: we're hearing, he's gonna play a lot more offense than defense,

888
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: at least early on in his career. Jacksonville decided to

889
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 2: go offense with their first pick, right, trading up for

890
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. So I think you can start to profile

891
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 2: the coaches, the gms based off of who they are,

892
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 2: who they pick, and then you can start to slot

893
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: in what is the identity of this team? And I

894
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 2: think that's always the most intriguing part of every draft,

895
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 2: to kind of push that ball forward and to continue

896
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 2: to map out who these gms are and what the

897
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 2: team's identity profile will be based off of their draft.

898
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

899
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 3: The thing with Travis Hunter that's interesting to me is

900
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 3: the Browns where they're like, oh, yeah, he's like Otani

901
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 3: and then in their next breath they're like, yeah, we'll

902
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: trade down.

903
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 6: It's like, what That's kind of weird how that worked out.

904
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 3: But as far as my main takeaway, outside of the

905
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: way you pronounce Marriott, apparently as a big sponsor of

906
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: the ESPN coverage, I always said Marriott. Am I the

907
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 3: only guy out out there that said Marriott? No, they

908
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: just say it's Courtyard by Marriott.

909
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 2: That's what they say. I think they were mispronouncing it.

910
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 3: Then Oh yeah, really that's the way it is.

911
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you pay attention to.

912
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: The commercial today years old, when I learned that that's yeah.

913
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: Likewise, yeah, well, beyond that, the draft, which is a big,

914
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: big picture takeaway for sure, you know, I just go

915
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: with a couple of quarterbacks. I don't understand how cam

916
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 3: Ward goes number one while should door Sanders goes number

917
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 3: one forty four?

918
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just that still blows my mind.

919
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 3: And beyond that, what really stands out is the general takeaway.

920
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: It's almost universal where it's like, yeah, that makes sense.

921
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm like, wait a minute, hold on, run

922
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 3: that by me again. Where I'm one of the few

923
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 3: that say I would not take cam Ward number one

924
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 3: overall if I'm the Tennessee Titans, not when Travis Hunter,

925
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 3: an Abdul Carter or right there, I just would not

926
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:02,799
Speaker 3: do that.

927
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: Cam Ward. He's a playmaker, he's got talent.

928
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 3: We know that, But the decision making far too often

929
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 3: you're like, bro.

930
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 2: What the hell was that? What were you doing? Right there?

931
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 3: Br come on, you're doing the Josh Allen tumbling out

932
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 3: of bounds, throwing it across the middle of the field.

933
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 6: Like not everybody Josh Allen?

934
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, so I would not have picked him number

935
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 3: one and the tumble to the fifth round. I don't

936
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 3: understand so many QB Needy teams. It's funny where we're

937
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 3: playing this game where it's like, where's Aaron Rodgers gonna

938
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 3: end up? There aren't any more teams, and it's like

939
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: maybe for him, But that doesn't mean every team is

940
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,919
Speaker 3: set at quarterback. It just means they're stubborn or they're

941
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 3: hopeful to a fault. The Jets still need a quarterback.

942
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 2: They have not solved their quarterback situation with Justin Field.

943
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: The Colts have Anthony Freakin Richardson, who's sub fifty percent

944
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 2: completing passes in the NFL.

945
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 3: His numbers are dbo esque. They don't have a quarterback.

946
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 2: And so for.

947
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 3: QB needy teams to just be like, nah, I think

948
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: we're good right now blows my freaking mind. So it's

949
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 3: those two qbs, cam Ward going number one ahead of some.

950
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: Blue chip prospects.

951
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: In Travis Hunter, in Abdul Hunter, Abdul Carter, and then

952
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 3: it's it's Shador falling to pick one for fours.

953
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: Crazy.

954
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't care what you perceive in terms of baggage.

955
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: These teams always overdraft quarterbacks and yet he fell that far.

956
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 6: That is stunning.

957
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,879
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, I can't wait to see

958
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 3: how that plays out over the years to come ward

959
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 3: and shouldure. That's my main takeaway is those two guys.

960
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and you know, just to like go a

961
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 5: little bit deeper down the Shadoor Sanders or really more

962
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 5: specifically the Browns rabbit hole at quarterback. I mean, can

963
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 5: you think of a franchise that has either been more

964
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 5: unlucky at that position or has done a worst job

965
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 5: of filling that position than the Browns. The three names

966
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 5: that have had the most success at quarterback in Brown's

967
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 5: history Otto Graham, Frank Ryan, Bernie Coozar Yanks. None of

968
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 5: them have played football for the last forty five years.

969
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 5: The Cleveland Browns are a disaster of a franchise. I

970
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 5: mean you mentioned the Colts. I mean, yeah, they have

971
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson, but they also had Peyton Manning and Andrew

972
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 5: Luck recently. I mean we're not talking about, you know,

973
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 5: as recently as this half decade, but I mean recently

974
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 5: enough that it netted them a championship within our lifetimes.

975
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 5: I mean, the Browns are a disaster. So having an

976
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 5: opportunity to draft shad or Sanders if they like them,

977
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,479
Speaker 5: and skipping over him enough times so that now as

978
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 5: a fifth round draft pick, buried on the depth chart.

979
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 5: I don't think the situation works with him as a

980
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 5: backup quarterback. I'm not even entirely sure it would work

981
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 5: with him as a starting quarterback if he was a

982
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 5: first round draft pick. We'll see how it all bears out.

983
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 5: But but yeah, it's just it's baffling to me how

984
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 5: bad certain teams are and you can't just say, oh, well,

985
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's just ownership. Oh well, it's you know,

986
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 5: just this front office. Oh well, it's you know, it's

987
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 5: just this head coach or wherever you want to levy

988
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 5: the blame, because there have been so many iterations, so

989
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 5: many turns of the key over the past few decades

990
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 5: that I mean, there are a lot of different sets

991
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 5: of hands dirtied that there's a lot of blame to

992
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 5: go around.

993
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 4: I just it's baffling to me how.

994
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 5: Bad they are at this at that specific position, because

995
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 5: they've had a lot of good teams around that position.

996
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 4: They just have not really zeroed in on the quarterback yet.

997
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't love what the Browns did in this draft.

998
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 2: I will say this, I do like Judkins. I thought

999
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 2: that was a decent pick. In the second round. It

1000
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: looks like he's going to be the starter. I mean

1001
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 2: him and Jerome Ford, I think are going to battle.

1002
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: But I would prefer Judkins at least early on. I mean,

1003
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens in camp. The linebacker they took

1004
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 2: from UCLA. I thought those second round picks Schweinschneiger, schwein

1005
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 2: Schneider not pronounce his name name, UCLA guy, right, I

1006
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 2: know Bo loves him, and Judkins I think those were

1007
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 2: the two best picks. And fan and two I think

1008
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: in the third round, you know we we we watched

1009
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: him last year Rick tear up our Penn State Nittany line.

1010
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's a guy. I think that can cause

1011
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 2: some problems. But obviously it's gonna be Djoku tight end

1012
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 2: one in Cleveland. But then you get to the back

1013
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: half of the draft, like Mason Graham fell to them

1014
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 2: at five once they traded out of five. From what

1015
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 2: I heard and read, they wanted to keep trading back

1016
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 2: but they couldn't, and so they just took Mason Graham

1017
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 2: at five. I think that's like, you know, you kind

1018
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: of get stuck with the girl at the bar that

1019
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 2: you're not really interested in. And you're just like, all right,

1020
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 2: well I need someone, so I'm gonna go home with you.

1021
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 2: That's kind of where I think Mason Graham to the

1022
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 2: like he feels a need. But that was not the

1023
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 2: preferred spot I think for what Cleveland wanted to do there.

1024
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: And then you're right, Brian, like, I think the crazy

1025
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 2: part is the craziest part about all this. They took

1026
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel first. Yeah, that's the part about this that

1027
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 2: I don't understand. And if you go back and you

1028
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 2: watch the clip of Andrew Berry right after they made

1029
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: the selection, it looks like they're going to the dentist

1030
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 2: like they were not happy to make that Shador Sanders selection.

1031
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: Do you think Jimmy has them? The owner called in

1032
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: and said, listen, you gotta take this kid because Cleveland

1033
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 2: was the spot that we all thought made sense as

1034
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 2: a fit. And then we heard deonce Cleveland and making

1035
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: jokes about going to Cleveland. But if you actually break

1036
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: down their quarterback situation, this is the best spot for

1037
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders. You have a veteran in Joe Flacco that

1038
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 2: they don't want to be the starter but can in

1039
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 2: an emergency. You've got Kenny Pickett, who they love, but

1040
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 2: I think deep down they don't really love them. It's

1041
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: a rookie I think that can go into that camp

1042
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: and take that job and run with it and it

1043
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think it's gonna Dylan Gabriel. But

1044
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 2: the way he was drafted, that's where you would assume

1045
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: the shador thing was. They just served him a giant

1046
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 2: slice of humble pie and that's not something he's ever

1047
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 2: eaten before, and I think it didn't taste very well

1048
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 2: based off of how things went down. But does he

1049
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 2: learn from it?

1050
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 4: Right?

1051
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 2: Rich, Like you've been in that situation before where you

1052
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: get pushed aside and you kind of get overlooked. Do

1053
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: you learn from it from your mistakes in the pre

1054
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 2: draft process, and do you bounce back strong in camp?

1055
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: He has an opportunity to win that job, right, We'll

1056
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: see if he.

1057
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 4: Takes it well.

1058
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 3: That's the the interesting part is I think most of

1059
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 3: the talk has been up to this point, but I

1060
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 3: like what you're doing. You're spinning it forward. There's not

1061
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 3: a ton of spinning it forward. We're hung up on

1062
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 3: the slide and what was the reason for the slide

1063
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 3: and arguing about the slide shouldn't have happened.

1064
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 4: No, it should have.

1065
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 3: It should We're not spinning it forward and like you're

1066
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 3: in the same quarterback room as Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dylan Gabriel.

1067
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 2: It's like that's not a bad spot to be in.

1068
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 6: Absolutely all right.

1069
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 3: We've got Rich Hornberger, Penn State All American, Jared Smith

1070
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 3: FSR betting analyst.

1071
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 6: I'm Brian No, it's time for the tire reck play

1072
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 6: of the day.

1073
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 4: Well, I was arguing about the call.

1074
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 5: Balls ticked up in the Aaron Shan Guns got it

1075
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 5: out to a straight away three pointer for Freddy Bean.

1076
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 4: He drains X and just like that, it's the largest

1077
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 4: lead of the game.

1078
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 3: That's from Sports Talk nine to seventy AM Rockets Radio Network.

1079
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 6: I love how he was surprising.

1080
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 2: It was like whoa what, Oh my god.

1081
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 6: For over forty.

1082
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,400

Speaker 2: Or something like that.

1107
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, young at heart, but I don't know. It's probably

1108
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 3: just the job itself.

1109
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 4: I just I don't know.

1110
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 6: Yes, crazy, let's dive into this.

1111
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,719
Speaker 2: Follow the money, real good money, all right.

1112
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 3: Seamus McGee, team lead of sports trading at bet MGM,

1113
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 3: He joins us here, Seamus, My gosh, dude, I thought

1114
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 3: you were like double your age. You're a young buck.

1115
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 3: This is amazing to me. How did this happen?

1116
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 2: Seamus?

1117
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 7: I definitely steel older? Uh Bertie is it can't creeping up?

1118
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 7: I gotta be honest.

1119
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 6: Well, let's start with this.

1120
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 3: What do you guys at BETMGM need the most this weekend?

1121
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 4: Right?

1122
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 3: You got four game seven's collectively. You've got another NBA

1123
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 3: game to throw in there as well. Maybe it's the Derby.

1124
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 3: You need journalism to win out right. I don't know

1125
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 3: what you guys need. What do you need the most

1126
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 3: this weekend?

1127
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 7: Well, the basketball dogs gave us a great gift by

1128
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 7: the Timberwolves knocking out the Lakers in five games. Ever,

1129
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 7: our biggest liability on the sportsbook. So now we look

1130
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 7: tomorrow with our now biggest lie AliOS for the Warriors.

1131
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 7: We'd love to see the Rockets take that home, get

1132
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 7: that liability off the books real quick. Rockets are you know,

1133
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 7: a decent chunk loser for us as well, but not

1134
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 7: as bad as the Warriors, so we'd like to get

1135
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 7: them bounced early.

1136
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that series is super intriguing, I think all the

1137
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: series in general, right Tchamus, Like when we get to

1138
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 2: the game sevens even game six is You've got five

1139
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: six games of data to go off of. I'm fascinated

1140
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: to see how much attention the market gives to the unders.

1141
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 2: Like the game one total between Denver and LAC was

1142
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 2: two twenty five. We're sitting at two oh seven now

1143
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: in Game seven. And again it's not like these teams

1144
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 2: played six months ago. The Game one was like two

1145
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 2: and a half weeks ago. So you really see the

1146
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 2: market make a big emphasis on the unders and deflate

1147
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 2: those totals throughout the course of the series. Has it

1148
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 2: adjusted too much? And does the public think Game seven

1149
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 2: tonight is going over?

1150
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's definitely an interesting way. I already talking about

1151
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 7: it before, And yeah, I was a little surffrised too

1152
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 7: because I forgot completely forgot to open two twenty five

1153
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 7: and a half in game one, but right now, mostly

1154
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 7: over money this opened. I think honestly two o five

1155
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 7: and a half. A lot of money came in on

1156
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 7: over there, and so we're currently sitting at two o

1157
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 7: seven and a half. But you look at these games,

1158
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 7: I mean, I think only one of them. I think

1159
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 7: only two of them actually went over that two oh

1160
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 7: seven and a half mark, so I don't know if

1161
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 7: markets ad justed too much. But we'll see if this

1162
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 7: ticks up even further.

1163
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 4: By tip off, you got Nuggets.

1164
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 5: They're favored by one and a half today against the

1165
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 5: Clippers tomorrow. I think it's a narrow spread with the

1166
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 5: Warriors two favored by two and a half. I think

1167
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 5: bet MGM right now has them up to when somebody

1168
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 5: looks at some of these spreads and they think to themselves,

1169
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 5: why not just take I don't know, the Rockets on

1170
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 5: the money line, or why not just take the Clippers

1171
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 5: on the money line?

1172
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 4: Why not? I guess?

1173
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 5: Is the question like, do you think a couple of

1174
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 5: points one way or another makes a huge difference?

1175
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 4: Shamus? What does you know?

1176
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 5: I almost feel like I'm asking you a blackjack question?

1177
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 5: What does the book say?

1178
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 7: Basketball? For me is one where if you want to

1179
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 7: play the money line on a one and a half point,

1180
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 7: I usually do it because the amount of times I

1181
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 7: get screwed that's twenty minus one and a half, my

1182
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 7: team win by one. But as far as like the

1183
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 7: Clippers Nuggets go, we're seeing pretty decent two A actions

1184
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 7: so far that money line Nuggets Clippers, So I mean,

1185
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 7: we'll see when it tips off. Slightly more money is

1186
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 7: on the Nuggets at a cheaper minus one ten price,

1187
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 7: But if you go to the Warriors Rockets game, a

1188
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 7: lot more of the money on the money line is

1189
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 7: coming in on the Rockets, and a lot more money

1190
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 7: on the spread is coming in on the Warriors. So

1191
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 7: I do think some people still have like an idea

1192
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 7: that they would rather take some points rather than the

1193
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 7: money line. I think, particularly with an underdog.

1194
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 3: Seamus McGee joining us here on Countdown. I hate when

1195
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 3: when media guys like myself ask a two part question,

1196
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 3: But I'm going to become what I hate right here

1197
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 3: because in the interest of time, we have to do this. Seamus,

1198
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 3: what makurias two things? How often do you see cross

1199
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 3: sport parlays, meaning like an NHL leg like matched with

1200
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 3: an NBA playoff leg And then also you'll see tomorrow

1201
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: there's a Game seven in the NBA and there's also

1202
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 3: a Game one in the NBA. Do you typically see

1203
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 3: a lot more action like in a Game six, a

1204
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 3: Game seven of a particular series, or in like a

1205
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 3: Game one or Game.

1206
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 2: Two, how does that normally shake out as well?

1207
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 7: It's a Game sevens we love because the handles really balloon.

1208
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 7: A lot of people want to get action on that

1209
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 7: Game one as well, Like it's you know, there's no

1210
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 7: you know, it's not Game four where you've seen it

1211
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 7: kind of play out. Some people get a little skittish

1212
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 7: about some games Game one. People definitely want to get

1213
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 7: their toes in the water. As far as cross sport

1214
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 7: play parlays go, I mean, you'll see them all the

1215
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 7: time during like October when you have all four major

1216
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 7: sports going on. Today, this weekend is a great weekend

1217
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 7: for especially with multiple Game sevens. We're definitely gonna see

1218
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 7: a lot of them this week.

1219
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 2: Let's go to another Game seven on the ice. We

1220
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: don't talk about hockey a ton on this show. Let's

1221
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 2: start to talk about it a little bit more as

1222
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 2: we get closer to the finals. But you've got a

1223
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 2: fantastic series between Colorado and Dallas that'll finish tonight. The

1224
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 2: Game seven undervibes have been much more prominent in hockey

1225
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 2: than in basketball lately. Last year Game sevens, all four

1226
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 2: of them stayed under the total, and three out of

1227
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 2: the four were very tight one goal games. Is that

1228
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: your vibe for this one five and a half? The

1229
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 2: total Colorado is slight favorite on the road, well, taking.

1230
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 7: Slightly more money on the over five and a half

1231
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 7: right now, But I mean I kind of like the

1232
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 7: under here. I think both goalis have played exception exceptionally

1233
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 7: well so far. Definitely see this thing out. I mean

1234
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 7: you see a lot of this over stuff, mainly because

1235
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 7: the Stars were really banged up on their blue line

1236
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 7: coming into this series. But I think Jake Gotten's shown

1237
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 7: why he's one of the best goaltenders in the game

1238
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 7: right now. And Mackenzie Blackwood, I mean, he's played really

1239
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 7: well this year, one of the best goalies so far

1240
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 7: in the playoffs. So I also like the under here.

1241
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 5: Shdoor Sanders was such a highly touted prospect, and I

1242
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 5: guess with when you look at all the draft analysts,

1243
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 5: they were fooled.

1244
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 4: When you look at some of the executives in.

1245
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 5: Front offices of the NFL, they were fooled because there

1246
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 5: were certain you know, either anonymous or on the record

1247
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:41,439
Speaker 5: quote saying how shocked some of these coaches in front

1248
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 5: office members were. How did everybody, including Vegas get this

1249
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 5: so wrong?

1250
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 7: Well, so his over under ropp was twenty one and

1251
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 7: a half because it just felt like it's not no

1252
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 7: one really saw him going top ten. There was a

1253
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 7: little bit of smoke that maybe the shades we're going

1254
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 7: to take it to be at nine. But it was

1255
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 7: crazy because the day of the draft, it was a

1256
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 7: lot of dart Steam going at nine overall over Shador.

1257
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 7: And that's when you kind of felt watching the odds

1258
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 7: that you know, things were starting to fall into place,

1259
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,919
Speaker 7: and maybe Shador is going to fall limit or at

1260
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 7: the very least Steelers at twenty one, which felt like

1261
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 7: that was going to be it for a while. And

1262
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 7: I was, honestly, I was waiting for you guys to

1263
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 7: talk to you because I was listening before. I don't

1264
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 7: know where this damn ward plannder is coming from, incarnate

1265
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 7: word legend. I don't know what we're doing.

1266
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: I've got him apologize, apologize. It's very well played by you.

1267
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 7: We're talking about like we're surprised of these quotes coming out.

1268
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 7: Have you heard him talk Shador in these press conferences?

1269
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 7: Are you going to talk about his own teammates? I'm

1270
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 7: not I wasn't surprised in the slightest all the anonymous

1271
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 7: sources coming out. I mean, is he better than Tyler

1272
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 7: Shop I think he is probably. I thought Shock went

1273
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 7: higher than I would have thought he would ever go

1274
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 7: in an NFL draft. But I mean, these are things

1275
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 7: I think a lot of teams have to take into account.

1276
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 7: Is how is this guy going to be in a

1277
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 7: locker room? If my Jets took him, it would be

1278
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 7: an unmitigated nightmare at that Life Stadium. It would every

1279
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 7: week it would be Deon Sanders falling into radio stations.

1280
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 7: If my son got to play. The fan base is

1281
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 7: already annoying as it is, they would be screwed and

1282
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 7: he would come in and he would probably awful like

1283
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 7: every other Jets quarterback. Like I'm not surprised. I think

1284
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 7: he felt too far. I will say through I was

1285
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 7: crazy to me. I mean, he did show a lot.

1286
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 7: I think, you know, he does complete a lot of passes,

1287
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 7: but takes a lot of sacks. He doesn't really take

1288
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 7: a lot of chances. So I think there were a

1289
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 7: lot of teams that were a They didn't think he

1290
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 7: was that good. And he completely watched the pre draft process,

1291
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 7: which is why I think you saw him fall and

1292
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 7: you really started to see it all come together the

1293
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 7: day of the draft, watching some odds move really against him,

1294
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 7: really because you saw dark dodds like skyrocketing up to

1295
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 7: be the next quarterback taken.

1296
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 3: I did not realize it was p one, Seamus McGee.

1297
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 3: I did not realize that you're deep in the game

1298
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 3: of countdown.

1299
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: This is amazing newshamous. All right, special this weekend. What

1300
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 2: do you have at the top of your betting list?

1301
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 2: Give us a Derby pick?

1302
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 7: So I have to give you my Derby long shot.

1303
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 7: A Japanese horse has never won the Kentucky Derby, and

1304
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 7: I think that might change today with admirer Daytona in

1305
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 7: the sixth Bowl. You get him huge odds right now.

1306
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 7: He's a it's a very fast horse. The conditions are

1307
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 7: going to be a little sloppy today, so I think

1308
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 7: it's gonna be a really wide open race. I like

1309
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 7: fading a little on journalism because you know a lot

1310
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 7: of the fields journalism rides on mostly like six seven horses.

1311
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 7: He gets bumped, he's gonna be in a position he's

1312
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 7: probably never been in a race before. So I think

1313
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 7: this race is one worthy of a long shot. Ana

1314
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 7: is my favorite one. If I had to take another.

1315
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 7: I like East Avenue as well in the twelve spot,

1316
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 7: as far as another famous special. Here now honor my

1317
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 7: thirtieth birthday, I think I'm gonna be taking Jamal Murray

1318
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 7: to score thirty plus points today.

1319
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 4: Wow.

1320
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 6: Wow, all right, I like the game, Jamal.

1321
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:20,040

1333
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 3: of his radio.

1339
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 3: hard for Detroit Sports okay, including the Detroit Pistons. So

1340
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 3: this is not any type of troll job. I just

1341
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 3: randomly stumbled onto the Korean call.

1342
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 2: I did, I did? It was? I promised you was

1343
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 2: totally I might have sent it to him, so right, yeah,

1344
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 2: but I ran across this. This is from I guess

1345
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,639

1350
01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 3: start with this. I grabbed audio from the because Iron

1351
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 3: Eagle said something earlier in the game that I thought

1352
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 3: was really interesting. So we'll start with this to clear

1353
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 3: my good name of how I stumbled onto this Korean

1354
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 3: TV audio. But it started with this gem from TNT's

1355
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 3: Iron Eagle.

1361
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 3: Right, it's actually both a Sar and a men Thompson,

1362
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,679
Speaker 3: the young second year players. They're twin brothers. They both

1363
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 3: have the same middle name, excellent.

1364
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 2: Changing my middle name. That's that's awes.

1365
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you just look at Basketball Reference, just pull

Speaker 3: name awesome x L n C excellence for both of them.

1368
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 2: So I went on the NBA app to grab that,

1369
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 2: and then when on the trapdown menu, it's like, here's

1370
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 2: the call on the next TV broadcast the Pistons, Here's

1371

Speaker 2: the Spanish version, here's the Korean version.

1372
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, I gotta hear what the Korean version sounds like.

1373
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 3: This is the game winning shot in series clinching shot

1374
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 3: from Jalen Brunson on SPO TV in Korea.

1375
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 2: You wanted to become about?

1376
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 5: I think that's pretty easy to follow myself, Like, right,

1377
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 5: that is his name, Brunson.

1378
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 2: How awesome is that? Are you kidding me? What a call?

1379
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 4: How to speak Korean? I understood every word. That's unbelievable here.

1380
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 9: Not not hating on it still though it makes me

1381
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 9: immediately think of the French call on Steph Curran at

1382
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 9: the Olympics.

1383
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 2: Though, yeah, yeah, they called them anything better than like,

1384
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 2: you know, foreign language calls for exciting moments. These these

1385
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 2: guys get into it.

1386
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, out any Spanish caller the Brazilian car.

1387
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 2: In soccer.

1388
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking.

1389
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 9: I was just thinking NFL like all that stuff, like

1390
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 9: they go nuts.

1391
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 3: You know, and there's one I can't let this opportunity

1392
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 3: pass because this was after our show last Saturday. It's

1393
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:21,879
Speaker 3: day three of the NFL Draft. Okay, and this says, actually,

1394
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 3: this is a shout out to Detroit for you, Chris.

1395
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 4: So.

1396
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 3: This guy is Marius Dell. He's the international fan of

1397
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 3: the Year. He's from Germany. He was announcing the Lions.

1398
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 3: I believe it was their sixth round pick, and uh,

1399
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 3: he greets everybody in Green.

1400
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 2: Bay by saying this. He hits us with the what

1401
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 2: up though, I still remember that.

1402
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, that was great.

1403
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that is so good.

1404
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 3: Are you I'm making everybody's text tone what up dough

1405
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,680
Speaker 3: everybody that's gonna sound like.

1406
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 6: And then he went on to say this again.

1407
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 3: Everybody tries to troll the Packers and this was his

1408
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 3: best attempt.

1409
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 5: Now, I want to you all the Packers owners.

1410
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 2: Well, honestly, I didn't hurt Jered Goff. Sorry jokes jokes

1411
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 2: right there, man, Yes, Jared Goff owns the Packers. That

1412
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 2: was his best attempt there. But man, I'll tell you

1413
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 2: what that is. That is legendary audio. Some might say

1414
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,759
Speaker 2: that's a little bit too much a praise. No, no,

1415
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 2: it might not be enough. That is to start it

1416
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 2: off with this is.

1417
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 9: I will drop to start our show every morning.

1418
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, we gotta yes, exactly, Chris, We've got

1419
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 3: to put that in like prop it up or rapid fire.

1420
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 6: It might not fit at all. Who cares.

1421
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 2: It's just funny.

1422

Speaker 6: It's good, Yes, good morning.

Speaker 3: We start with you with something you have circled on

1450
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 3: your extensive list over there.

1451
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to a strikeout prop in baseball. I

1452
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 2: don't bet the's a ton, but this one stood out

1453
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,719
Speaker 2: to me today, very low number with Zach Littel three

1454
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 2: and a half. Now, it's juicy to the over minus

1455
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 2: one fifty.

1456
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 4: I see some minus one.

1457
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 2: Thirty out there. Obviously that's the better bet, but I

1458
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 2: do think three and a half is a number I'm

1459
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:32,560
Speaker 2: willing to go over on. So Lttel's had a relatively

1460
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 2: sluggish start pitching wise, but also strikeout wise. This is

1461
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 2: a guy that, throughout the course of his career is

1462
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 2: about seven and a half. Case for nine, he's down

1463
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 2: at like five point eight to his first six starts,

1464
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 2: coming off with two really tough starts against San Diego

1465
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,759
Speaker 2: and Arizona. Those are two of the low lowest strikeout

1466
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 2: percentage teams in Major League Baseball. He faces the Yankees today,

1467
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 2: one of the highest teams in Major League Baseball. So

1468
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 2: after just three strikeouts over his last two starts, I

1469
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 2: feel confident Lettel's going to positively regrets to the mean

1470
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 2: today against a higher strikeout lineup. He did have a

1471
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 2: seven strikeout game way back against the Rockies in his

1472
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 2: first start, so he has the potential to go high.

1473
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 2: I think four is a very reasonable number against the

1474
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 2: Yanks today over three and a half strikeouts for Zach Lttel.

1475
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,600
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna go to the MBA.

1476
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 5: A prop that I'm particularly interested in is how the

1477
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 5: front court of the Clippers has handled.

1478
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 4: Nikola Jokic, especially in Game six.

1479
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 5: They may have discovered something there, and so I think

1480
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 5: he's going to be looking to pass the ball more,

1481
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 5: which may boost his assist total. Right now, log that

1482
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 5: nine and a half give me the over on Jokic assists,

1483
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 5: looking for outlet passes, looking for three pointers, especially if

1484
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 5: Denver gets down at any point to the Clippers Jokich

1485
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 5: over the nine and.

1486
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 4: A half assists.

1487
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 3: Like what you're thinking right there, Rich, I just hope

1488
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,759
Speaker 3: that his assists aren't going to Michael Porter Junior. Okay,

1489
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 3: because I'm taking the under Unmvjay's points.

1490
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 6: Here it's been jekyln Hyde with MPJ.

1491
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 3: He's a good player, but he's got this shoulder injury

1492
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 3: that's bothering him some. And I just look at under

1493
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 3: ten and a half points for Michael Porter Junior. My

1494
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 3: thinking is in a game like this game seven against

1495
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 3: the Clippers, who do play good defense. Last time in Denver,

1496
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 3: they didn't play any defense whatsoever.

1497
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 2: Like the Nuggets.

1498
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 3: Scored one hundred and thirty one points and Jokic had thirteen,

1499
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 3: and they like it's like, Wow, where's the Clippers defense.

1500
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 3: I think their defense is much better in a game seven,

1501
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 3: And I think that typically you see the stars shine

1502
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 3: brightest in a game seven situation. So I'm expecting Jokic

1503
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 3: and Jamal Murray obviously to be the headlining act for

1504
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 3: the Nuggets.

1505
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 4: But with that.

1506
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 3: Sometimes the role players their production dips even more.

1507
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:54,719
Speaker 6: And I look at Michael Porter.

1508
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 3: Junior shoulder injury game seven situation, I like under ten.

1509
01:16:59,200 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 2: And a half point.

1510
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 3: I also think this line stinks a bit because it

1511
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 3: started off in Game one.

1512
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 6: It's points total.

1513
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,560
Speaker 3: His prop was sixteen and a half, and it's fluctuated

1514
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 3: throughout the series.

1515
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,720
Speaker 2: It's been steady at twelve and a half. Yet for

1516
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 2: Game seven it's ten and a half. I think that stinks.

1517
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 2: So I think they're kind of like, come on, only

1518
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 2: eleven points. Come on, he's good for eleven, right.

1519
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 3: He's scored in this series. He's had games of fifteen, seventeen,

1520
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 3: and fourteen. Those are his over totals, but he's also

1521
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 3: had production of three, five and seven.

1522
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 6: So I think when they're like.

1523
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it started off at sixteen and a half, come

1524
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: on ten and a half. You love this, the water's great,

1525
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:40,040
Speaker 2: come on in.

1526
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,559
Speaker 6: I think they're trying to sucker you in.

1527
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna fade Michael Porter Junior under ten and

1528
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:45,679
Speaker 3: a half points.

1529
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 2: It's what I have in Game seven. Yeah, I bet

1530
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 2: him over the other night and it didn't work out.

1531
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 7: Well.

1532
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 3: It's jekylin Hyde, right, Like there have been games where

1533
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 3: he's he's been over, Like there was one game Game

1534
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 3: four his points total was nine and half.

1535
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:01,520
Speaker 6: He scored seventeen.

1536
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's worth the exact opposite way where Game

1537
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 3: one it was sixteen and a half he scored three.

1538
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 3: You know, So it's it's hit or miss, and I'm

1539
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 3: gonna bet on miss here. For MPJ, he's a good player,

1540
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 3: but limited with the shoulders.

1541
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 4: And also, yeah, the shoulder is factoring.

1542
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 5: But also I do think Denver like a lot of

1543
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:25,799
Speaker 5: teams with a all consuming superstar, and I think he's

1544
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 5: I think that Jokic is better balanced than maybe some

1545
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 5: other players because he he does dish the ball well.

1546
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 5: But what happens is the players around a player like

1547
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 5: a Jokic will have hot nights and off nights, and

1548
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 5: I think it's because their consistency isn't really the reliance.

1549
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 5: Like if Jokic was a yo yo player like that,

1550
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 5: well he wouldn't be a regarded as highly as he is.

1551
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 4: But also the Denver would be the Denver Nuggets would

1552
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 4: be completely differently constructive.

1553
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 5: So that need Porter Junior to be on fire every

1554
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 5: single night because they do have Jo Kich.

1555
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 2: What's the hottened vibes tonight? Guys? Do we think it's

1556
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 2: good hard? I hope it's good hard for a Clippers bet.

1557
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 2: But he's he's he's been a no show in game seven's,

1558
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 2: but he was good in Game six.

1559
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 6: He really was Game six.

1560
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, aggressive, he's aggressive. You know.

1561
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 3: One thing to keep in mind, Michael Porter Junior. His

1562
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 3: rebounding prop is five and a half. It's just heavy

1563
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:30,799
Speaker 3: to the under minus one ninety.

1564
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 2: You really expect him to go in there and start

1565
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 2: banging around with that shoulder. No, so his rebound's got

1566
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 2: to go somewhere, right Like.

1567
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 3: Jokich is obviously the main guy, But who is that

1568
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 3: secondary rebounder?

1569
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 4: Is it.

1570
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 2: Maybe Jamal Murty, Aaron Gordon, Christian Brown.

1571
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 3: Like those guys are at five and a half, one

1572
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 3: of those guys going over, Like one of those guys

1573
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,520
Speaker 3: grabbing six rebounds with MPJ being limited.

1574
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 2: How about five rebound Murray plus one oh five?

1575
01:19:58,560 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 6: Hey, leave it in mind.

1576
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:07,280

1590
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 3: Okay, So I got to do some fill in radio

1591
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 3: for a Milwaukee station shout out the game, and I

1592
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 3: laid out my take that Jannis should have played his

1593
01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 3: last game for the Milwaukee Bucks and listen expected to

1594
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 3: have multiple restraining orders by now. You know, like you know,

1595
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 3: like you know, like the they're acting like dogs with

1596
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 3: rabies over there. But no, no, actually, like good half

1597
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 3: of the people agreed, and I'll lay it out for you, guys.

1598
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 6: I'm curious what you think.

1599
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 3: So we know the last dance with the Chicago Bulls, right,

1600
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 3: it's gonna be the ninety seven ninety eight season. This

1601
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 3: is the last time the band is gonna be together.

1602
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 3: Let's go win a title. They knew beforehand that was

1603
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 3: going to be it amazing ten part documentary. I think

1604
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:35,759
Speaker 3: it's different with the Bucks. I think the last Dance

1605
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 3: should have already happened. It was a heartbreaking loss for

1606
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 3: the Bucks. They lose an overtime against the Pacers. Damian

1607
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 3: Lillard has that achilles injury. It's awful, horrible, but you

1608
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 3: gotta make big boy decisions here, and the Bucks need

1609
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 3: to trade Giannis because of the window. Giannis is a

1610
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 3: super star. He is completely capable of winning a championship.

1611
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 3: The Bucks supporting cas minus Dame, They're nowhere near quality

1612
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 3: enough to compete for a championship, and.

1613
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 6: That's why you gotta move them.

1614
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 3: And I also think this the risk isn't worth the reward.

1615
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 3: What if they keep you honest and he gets injured

1616
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 3: like Dame this next season, then what that's a legitimate possibility.

1617
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 6: He's had calf injuries before.

1618
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 3: He's missed an entire playoff series last year against the

1619
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 3: Pacers because he had that calf.

1620
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:30,679
Speaker 6: Injury and they were worried it could turn into worse.

1621
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 3: So it's like, why would you risk that injury and

1622
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 3: that trade value plummeting for what if they run it

1623
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 3: back with Giannis?

1624
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 6: What are they gonna do next season?

1625
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 3: They're gonna win forty something games, be a low seed,

1626
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 3: and get bounced right away. Why would you do that?

1627
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 3: It just doesn't make sense. And the last thing I'll say,

1628
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 3: I get it. Parting with the star hurts. It's an

1629
01:22:55,560 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 3: awful reality, but it might make you feel better down

1630
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 3: the road. Some of the assets that you're able to

1631
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,520
Speaker 3: acquire turn into real pillars for the franchise.

1632
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 6: We've seen this numerous times.

1633
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 3: Look at the Celtics, it hurt to get rid of

1634
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 3: Paul Pierce and KG beloved finally won a title. It

1635
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:16,479
Speaker 3: was twenty some years and they dealt him and what

1636
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 3: did that turn into? Tatum and Brown and now they're

1637
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 3: defending champs looking for more. Look at OKC, it hurt

1638
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,839
Speaker 3: after KD left. You had Russell Westbrook, Paul George.

1639
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 2: It hurt to let him go, but it turned into

1640
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 2: a boatload of picks and SGA.

1641
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 6: They got an MVP.

1642
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 3: Out of that instead of like, no, we don't want

1643
01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 3: to let go our beloved players, ripped the band aid off.

1644
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 3: The Bucks have to deal Giannis. That's my sales pitch man.

1645
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's difficult to part with your identity.

1646
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 5: You know, from a personal standpoint, I remember when I

1647
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 5: left football and I started I don't know, I guess

1648
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 5: you could say, putting the feelers out in the broadcast

1649
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 5: world and started to, you know, change who I was

1650
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 5: for I mean, more than half my life into a

1651
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 5: new identity. I mean that that sounds so ridiculous, but

1652
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:20,600
Speaker 5: from a personal standpoint, that's exactly what it felt like.

1653
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 5: It felt like I was I was stripping off, you know,

1654
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 5: this this old me and entering a new, a new me.

1655
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 5: And it was it was a strange transition, and it

1656
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 5: was really difficult. And even though we're talking about something

1657
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 5: that was a hobby or you know, a sport I

1658
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 5: played as a kid, that turned into really a career

1659
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 5: and a job once you get to college. Because I

1660
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,559
Speaker 5: even said this when I was a college athlete, before

1661
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 5: players were allowed to be paid to play in college,

1662
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:51,800
Speaker 5: it really is a full time job. And it is

1663
01:24:51,880 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 5: a round the clock, all year, full time job. And

1664
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 5: and then when you you finally become a pro, there's

1665
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 5: no question about it, like you are identified as a

1666
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 5: football player.

1667
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 4: That is who you are.

1668
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 5: So it is definitely difficult to change your stripes from

1669
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 5: a personal standpoint, and going through that process was particularly

1670
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 5: difficult for me, and I'm sure it's for many people.

1671
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 4: How about for a team, for an.

1672
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 5: Organization, for a front office, for an ownership group, when

1673
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 5: you have invested so mightily literally jobs, occupations, livelihoods. You know,

1674
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 5: college tuitions are staked on the success of this franchise

1675
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 5: and you are inexorably linked to this player for a decade,

1676
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 5: and then you're gonna have to pull the band aid

1677
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 5: off cold turkey.

1678
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 4: Like there, it's a hard decision to make.

1679
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 5: So while I'm with you, like, yeah, it does, on

1680
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 5: the outside looking in, seem like the right idea at

1681
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 5: this point in his career.

1682
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 4: There's real trade value there.

1683
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 5: You're probably gonna see Yannis have success with another franchise

1684
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 5: Brian for many years, potentially beyond the time that he

1685
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 5: plays for Milwaukee. But it's like he got to strike

1686
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 5: while the iron's hot, and the iron is still hot

1687
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 5: enough for you to get something back for him. So

1688
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 5: I get what you're saying, but I mean, having gone

1689
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,440
Speaker 5: through this myself at a personal level, I can't imagine

1690
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 5: how difficult it is to make that decision as a

1691
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,719
Speaker 5: franchise or an organization, because it's not just one person.

1692
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,639
Speaker 5: It is the entirety of that organization are very least

1693
01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 5: the entirety of the decision makers who need to be

1694
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 5: comfortable with this complete personality switch from an organizational standpoint.

1695
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some interesting elements here. Let's break him down.

1696
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 2: Let's start with Bucks general manager John Horst, who just

1697
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,960
Speaker 2: signed a contract extension two weeks ago, so he's got

1698
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of i would say, longevity, little job

1699
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 2: security to maybe make a move that's outside of the

1700
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 2: I think that's the first step of this. Now you

1701
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 2: get to the second step, which was Brian's original point,

1702
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 2: the trade itself. What are we getting back for you, honest,

1703
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 2: I think is the big question? And then are there

1704
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 2: teams out there that have the incentive to make a

1705
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 2: splash and take on that risk, because you know, if

1706
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 2: we're all in agreement, and I think, based off of

1707
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 2: what we're hearing, what I'm hearing from Brian and Rich,

1708
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 2: like we're all kind of in agreement that Jannis's trade

1709
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 2: value is probably at its peak right now, Like if

1710
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 2: you wait another year or two, you might not get

1711
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 2: back the hall that you need to make the deal.

1712
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 2: But on the other side of that, the team that

1713
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 2: is trading for Yannis is obviously accepting that risk. So

1714
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 2: that team has to be in my opinion a team

1715
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:52,600
Speaker 2: that maybe is a little bit lower on the visibility spectrum,

1716
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 2: Like I don't see the Lakers making this move. How

1717
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 2: about the Pelicans. I've heard reports that Zion is kind

1718
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 2: of on the trading, which is an interesting piece that

1719
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 2: you might get back. And here's the part about it

1720
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,680
Speaker 2: that makes it very interesting. We're assuming draft capital is

1721
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 2: going to be involved in this trade. The Pelicans own

1722
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,720
Speaker 2: Milwaukee's twenty seven first round pick and swap rights in

1723
01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 2: twenty six because of the Drew Holiday deal. So there's

1724
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 2: a little synergy there between Milwaukee and New Orleans already

1725
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 2: with their draft swaps. And then you throw Zion into

1726
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 2: the mix, who I read was gonna meet with Joe

1727
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 2: Dumars very soon about his future with the team. Like,

1728
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 2: that's a trade that I could see happening, you know, right,

1729
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 2: Zion and a first with that swap that they already

1730
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 2: have in place from the Holiday deal goes back to

1731
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 2: or goes back to Milwaukee, Milwaukee gets Zion and then

1732
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 2: the Pelicans get you. Honest, what do you think about that?

1733
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like, listen, you got to command top dollar.

1734
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 3: That's the first thing sure for Johannis.

1735
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 2: And I would need a lot more, uh than just

1736
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 2: a first and Young and Zion because Zion's been so

1737
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 2: banged up, Like, there's got to be more out there,

1738
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 2: because there are numerous teams that would love to have Jannis,

1739
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 2: love to have this guy.

1740
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,280
Speaker 3: And that's the thing, man, Like, I get it. Some

1741
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 3: of the fans are like, it's scary. We don't know

1742
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 3: what the future is gonna be like without Giannis. We

1743
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 3: don't know what these like lottery ticket picks are gonna

1744
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 3: turn into.

1745
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 6: How high are they gonna be? Who are the actual players?

1746
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 6: We don't know. But my pushback on that is, well,

1747
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 6: but you.

1748
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 3: Know what it's gonna be like with them? What's the

1749
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 3: reality gonna be like with Yannis, They're not good enough

1750
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,920
Speaker 3: to win a championship. They don't have Damian Lillard. Even

1751
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,520
Speaker 3: with Dame, they weren't good enough to win a championship.

1752
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 3: So without Dame and now coming back from an Achilles injury,

1753
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,800
Speaker 3: and they don't have picks, Like you need picks to

1754
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 3: get players that can make you a whole lot better,

1755
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 3: they don't have that. So the reality of the Bucks

1756
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 3: with Giannis is they're the Westbrook Thunder.

1757
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 2: That's what they would be.

1758
01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 3: Katie left in twenty sixteen and the next three seasons,

1759
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 3: Westbrook averaged a triple double in each of those seasons.

1760
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 3: He was unbelievable, and they got bounced in the first

1761
01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:10,639
Speaker 3: round every year. That's exactly what happened. And you read

1762
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 3: up on some of this stuff, I forget. It's almost

1763
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,759
Speaker 3: funny looking at it. It's like, in April of twenty nineteen,

1764
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 3: Westbrook had a twenty twenty twenty game. Right, He's the

1765
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,800
Speaker 3: second player in NBA history to record twenty points, twenty

1766
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 3: rebounds in twenty assists.

1767
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 2: The other guy is Wilt Chamberlain.

1768
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 3: Okay, Westbrook did it in the game against the Lakers,

1769
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 3: and then later that series they got bounced in five

1770
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 3: by the Blazers as Dame Is hitting a thirty seven

1771
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,599
Speaker 3: foot step back on Paul George and waven Bye.

1772
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:40,799
Speaker 2: Bye bye bye.

1773
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,679
Speaker 3: Okc is they lose in the first round again, That's

1774
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 3: what it would be be honest, going ballistic and being

1775
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 3: the superstar he is and the Bucks going nowhere, not

1776
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:58,719
Speaker 3: approaching anywhere significant of a deep playoff run.

1777
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 2: Why would you do that? Why?

1778
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 6: And yeah, the scar the future is scary.

1779
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 3: We don't know what the draft picks are gonna be,

1780
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 3: but if your reality is scary, also, I would rather

1781
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 3: opt for path.

1782
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 6: Number two that could lead to prominence.

1783
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 3: Path number one keeping him although you love him is

1784
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:24,679
Speaker 3: leading to no prominence. It's not happening, So why would

1785
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:27,719
Speaker 3: you stick with that instead of maybe being way better?

1786
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 3: Like the Thunder with Sga, like the Celtics with Tatum

1787
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 3: and Brown? Why would you just be like, but we

1788
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 3: love Paul Pearson KG, let's just keep them.

1789
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:37,760
Speaker 2: Where would they be right now if they didn't make

1790
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 2: that move? Probably nowhere.

1791
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 5: I always compare team building to like, you know, just

1792
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 5: because you're dealing with assets and and sometimes you know

1793
01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 5: the you know, you can look at it like I'm

1794
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 5: gonna invest in this area, I'm gonna invest in that

1795
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 5: area in terms of building a ross route. I look

1796
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 5: at it almost like real estate. I do this a

1797
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,559
Speaker 5: lot because it helps balance in my brain. And what

1798
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 5: you're saying makes a lot of sense about Giannis and

1799
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 5: I agree. You know, this is like when you own

1800
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 5: a home in a part of town that was a

1801
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 5: really good part of town when you bought the house,

1802
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 5: but then all of a sudden things changed, and now

1803
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 5: maybe an area that used to be a little run

1804
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:21,400
Speaker 5: down across town from you is starting to become gentrified,

1805
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 5: and for whatever reason, you know, your real estate value

1806
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 5: is slipping, you know, I mean, yeah, you could stick

1807
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:34,160
Speaker 5: it out. You could reinvest, you could redo the bathrooms

1808
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 5: in the kitchen, or you could bite the bullet and say,

1809
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 5: you know what, we need a wholesale change here.

1810
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:41,720
Speaker 4: Like we need to get out and.

1811
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:47,679
Speaker 5: Sell before the market tanks on our side of town

1812
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:48,719
Speaker 5: and then.

1813
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 4: Go look elsewhere.

1814
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 5: You know, maybe, like you said, the investment is back

1815
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,599
Speaker 5: in the draft, and so you go find the worst

1816
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,600
Speaker 5: house on the best block somewhere else and you renovate

1817
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:03,679
Speaker 5: your so you can compete with the Joneses. Because where

1818
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 5: you're at right now, it is this the fallacy of

1819
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 5: sunk costs. It's like, because we've invested so much here,

1820
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 5: we can't see living anywhere else than here. And also

1821
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 5: change is hard. I don't want to wake up in

1822
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 5: a different bedroom. I don't want to find a new

1823
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 5: route to work. I'm you know, it's a well worn groove.

1824
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 4: At this point. We know what this field is. Like.

1825
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,120
Speaker 5: We got we got Yannis in the off season, you know,

1826
01:33:30,200 --> 01:33:33,639
Speaker 5: playing a little bit internationally doing some commercials for us.

1827
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 5: You know, he comes back and hope springs eternal when

1828
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 5: the new season begins in Summer League starts and like

1829
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 5: you know it's all it's all now, wrote like you

1830
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 5: know what it's gonna look like here after year in Milwaukee.

1831
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:48,439
Speaker 4: But it doesn't mean it's good.

1832
01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 5: It doesn't mean that your asset value isn't slipping, and

1833
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,320
Speaker 5: it doesn't mean that if you don't get out now

1834
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 5: while the market's still relatively high. Although slipping, it doesn't

1835
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 5: mean that the future is bright. Yeah, And look, certain

1836
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 5: situations they force your hand, like what the Lakers are

1837
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 5: going through with Lebron James. He will retire eventually. I

1838
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 5: don't know if it's this offseason. I don't know if

1839
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 5: it's next offseason. I don't know if it's two off

1840
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:17,680
Speaker 5: seasons from now. But that that problem is gonna be

1841
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 5: solved for you, and you know you already knew you

1842
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 5: were gonna get nothing in return. He's gonna ride off

1843
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 5: into the sunset on the pony that he rode into

1844
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:27,719
Speaker 5: La on and that's.

1845
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 4: Gonna be that.

1846
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:32,000
Speaker 5: But with Giannis, as difficult as a decision as it

1847
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 5: is to move from the house that you laid down

1848
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 5: deep roots and you love your neighbors and you raise

1849
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 5: your kids in that house. You have to understand the

1850
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 5: environment around you is changing. You have to understand that

1851
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 5: your acid value is slipping. You need to get out

1852
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:50,640
Speaker 5: while the getting's still good. I completely agree with you,

1853
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 5: but that band aid is really hard to tug on.

1854
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we need to get over that. Though change

1855
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:59,840
Speaker 2: is inevitable everywhere, people are so afraid of it. It's

1856
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 2: just the only thing that is constant in life is change.

1857
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 2: So people need to realize that nothing lasts forever and

1858
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 2: that what's that's what makes you appreciate each moment in

1859
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:12,720
Speaker 2: the present. Sorry to get all philosophical and deep there,

1860
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:16,719
Speaker 2: but our layer listener Jeff Beard, and really interesting comment

1861
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 2: on social media, just now being tag both of us.

1862
01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 2: How about okay, see trading Free. Honest, they've got like

1863
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:25,200
Speaker 2: nine first round picks.

1864
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 3: And the thing is, it's not just their picks, everyone

1865
01:35:26,880 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 3: else first.

1866
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 6: It's everybody else's high picks.

1867
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I'll be honest if they fall short, like,

1868
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 2: let's just spin it forward. Okay, see Celtics finals, and

1869
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 2: then the Celtics won't mopped the floor of them like

1870
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:38,599
Speaker 2: they did to the MAVs last year.

1871
01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 3: That's what I would do. If I was the Oka

1872
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 3: see brass. Yeah, Oh my gosh, can you imagine Giannis

1873
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,519
Speaker 3: and Sga. Oh, it's like the next five years or whatever.

1874
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:50,559
Speaker 2: Like good, they're winning a title next year.

1875
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 3: They might win win this year like they without it,

1876
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:57,000
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, if they have them, Yes, that could

1877
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 3: be great comment.

1878
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:00,599

1901
01:37:05,880 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 3: got a bunch of Game sevens here. You know, hey,

1902
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:13,160
Speaker 3: shout out as far as pun goes, Avalanche, Stars, Blues Jets.

1903
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 3: You know, we got a couple of Game sevens today

1904
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,360
Speaker 3: and tomorrow. But we're gonna honde in on hoops. We

1905
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 3: got Game seven Clippers Nuggets today, We've got Warriors Rockets tomorrow.

1906
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 3: And I was thinking about this, guys. I was thinking,

1907
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:29,920
Speaker 3: you know, Shack always talks about the others, meaning the

1908
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 3: role players, not the headlining stars, right, and these series

1909
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,679
Speaker 3: could be decided by the others. And I started thinking

1910
01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 3: we might need a separate category for something I'd call

1911
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 3: the other others. So, like, if you think about a

1912
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 3: team like let's say the Nuggets, for instance, So their

1913
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:53,559
Speaker 3: headlining stars are of course Jokic and Jamal Murray, and

1914
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:56,800
Speaker 3: then you would get to like the premium role players

1915
01:37:56,880 --> 01:38:00,759
Speaker 3: like the others that would be Aaron Gordon and Michael Jor.

1916
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 3: Then I think you get to the other others, guys

1917
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 3: like Russell Westbrook, Christian Brown, those type of guys. Right,

1918
01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 3: It's like these series could be decided on that. Well,

1919
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:15,960
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about Jokich and Jamal Kawhi and the Beard, right,

1920
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 3: but this could come down to like Chris Dunn and

1921
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 3: Derek Jones Junior, like some random dude hitting a big

1922
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 3: shot in a big moment, right.

1923
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 2: Like I think it's the same thing with.

1924
01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 3: The Warriors and Rockets Tomorrow Night, where the headliners, of

1925
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 3: course are Steph Curry, Playoff, Jimmy, it's you know, it's

1926
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 3: it's gonna be shne Goon right now, it's Van Vliet

1927
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 3: and the others. It'd be like Dylan Brooks is a

1928
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 3: role player right now, Draymond Green is a role player.

1929
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 3: But the other others that'd be like Tarry Eason or

1930
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 3: like Moses Moody or you know what I mean, like

1931
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 3: the other others. It could make a big difference in

1932
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:57,599
Speaker 3: each of these game sevens.

1933
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's amazing how when you whittle

1934
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 5: it down to one game, how important every single aspect is,

1935
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 5: isn't it. And it's such an obvious thing to say,

1936
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:16,559
Speaker 5: And it's such an obvious part of sports, but single

1937
01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 5: elimination is the best way to do this. And it

1938
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 5: drives me crazy that we have to wait, we have

1939
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:30,680
Speaker 5: to wait out this bloated, I almost exhibition of the

1940
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:34,720
Speaker 5: sixth game preamble to get to this point. Sometimes, to

1941
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 5: see evenly matched teams face off in something that really

1942
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 5: matters in the NBA and Major League Baseball, frankly, it

1943
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 5: drives me crazy. I think the playoffs should be single elimination.

1944
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 5: I think it would be way more interesting. I know

1945
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 5: it won't ever be because TV networks love the inventory.

1946
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,280
Speaker 5: The NBA makes a ton of money off of the postseason,

1947
01:39:57,320 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 5: not only domestically but internationally, so I mean, this complaint

1948
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 5: will fall on deaf ears, but it's amazing how every

1949
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,680
Speaker 5: little factor is turned over. Like, you know, if this

1950
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,839
Speaker 5: was game one, if we were talking you know, Nuggets

1951
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 5: Clippers game one, do you think we would really be

1952
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:17,519
Speaker 5: you know, talking about role players or like, you know,

1953
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 5: defensive strategy, or.

1954
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:21,680
Speaker 4: We would just we would just be like, yeah, you know,

1955
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1956
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:27,120
Speaker 5: The Warriors they got experience, but the Rockets they've got

1957
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 5: some young upstart talent.

1958
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:30,799
Speaker 4: We'll see how Van Fleet leads them.

1959
01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 5: All right, coming up next, Like you know, it's like, well,

1960
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, we're down to the nitty gritty

1961
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 5: every single thing matters. Like I wait for these games

1962
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 5: with baited breath, and I'm interested in watching them today

1963
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 5: because or and tomorrow because Game sevens actually matter. I

1964
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 5: love the fact that we're here. I hate the I

1965
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:53,919
Speaker 5: hate the fact that we had to wait for this arrival.

1966
01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an other other vibes to the Clippers tonight.

1967
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,680
Speaker 2: I think that of all all the teams that I

1968
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:05,080
Speaker 2: think are playing in their Game seven's today and tomorrow,

1969
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 2: four of them, I think the Clippers are the one.

1970
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 2: Like that's the team where I look at Batoom and

1971
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 2: Bogdanovich as guys that are more I would say key,

1972
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 2: because I just don't know if the Clippers can go

1973
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 2: on the road and beat Denver without those guys playing. Well.

1974
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 2: Now here's the interesting caveat. I think we get a

1975
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:32,720
Speaker 2: great like do or don't or like damned if you do,

1976
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 2: Damned if you don't. Situation, if you're the Clippers defense,

1977
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 2: do you let Jokic just go crazy, right and not

1978
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 2: let Jamal Murray beat you? Like I think the game

1979
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:45,840
Speaker 2: plan if I'm cooking up, if I'm Tyler, I'm cooking

1980
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:49,160
Speaker 2: up a game plan for the Clippers tonight. I'm telling

1981
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:52,280
Speaker 2: my defenders if there's one thing that you cannot do

1982
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 2: tonight is you cannot allow Jamal Murray to go for forty.

1983
01:41:56,439 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 2: We cannot overcome that. We can overcome Jokic triple double

1984
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 2: thirty twenty ten. Why he does that every game? And

1985
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:07,560
Speaker 2: in fact, I think the fifth was like a he

1986
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:09,600
Speaker 2: had that crazy triple double earlier this season, was like

1987
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:13,240
Speaker 2: a fifty point or whatever. They lost that game. Jokic

1988
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:17,679
Speaker 2: going off doesn't kill us. Let him have his do

1989
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 2: not let the other guy on Denver go crazy for forty,

1990
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 2: because when he does, that is the death blow for

1991
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:27,759
Speaker 2: the Clippers tonight. I think the way that they scheme

1992
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:30,840
Speaker 2: the Clippers, how they scheme this one two punch of

1993
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 2: Denver is going to be very fascinating tonight. And I

1994
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 2: think if they allow Jokic to get his and they

1995
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,439
Speaker 2: take away Murray. I think that's the path of victory

1996
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 2: for lac h.

1997
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,400
Speaker 3: It's interesting you say that because you could look at

1998
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:46,360
Speaker 3: that in the other series also, where for a couple

1999
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 3: of games in a row, the Rockets have just been

2000
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:53,400
Speaker 3: blitzing Steph Curry, They've been doubling Steph Curry, and they're

2001
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 3: basically like, just don't let him kill us, which.

2002
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 6: Makes a whole lot of sense.

2003
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 3: And they're like, hey, if Pudjemski it's a couple of threes,

2004
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:05,080
Speaker 3: we'll tip our caps, Okay, Like we're just not letting

2005
01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:09,480
Speaker 3: Steph Curry, the greatest shooter ever crush us shooting.

2006
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 2: The basketball and doing what he does best.

2007
01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 3: And so I love I love the strategy of the

2008
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 3: whole thing where that's one of the main things. Do

2009
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 3: you let the stars shine or do you try to

2010
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 3: limit them? And maybe the role players kill you? Right, Like,

2011
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:27,759
Speaker 3: it's really interesting as far as that goes how teams

2012
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,400
Speaker 3: attack it. I'll say this also kind of to pivot

2013
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 3: it a little. The NBA playoff ratings have been really good. Yeah,

2014
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 3: and you know me, I love the NBA. So this

2015
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 3: is gonna seem like I'm taking a shot at the im.

2016
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 3: Really not it's just to put things in perspective. We

2017
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 3: know the NFL is king, but it is staggering how

2018
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:52,400
Speaker 3: huge of a king the NFL is. Where you go back,

2019
01:43:52,439 --> 01:43:54,680
Speaker 3: think of the NBA playoff ratings, they've been strong, they've

2020
01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:57,639
Speaker 3: been solid, they've been good. You compare it to the

2021
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:02,439
Speaker 3: NFL freaking draft, it's like, oh gosh, that maybe they're

2022
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 3: not that great, you know, I mean, it's a draft.

2023
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 3: So this year's NFL draft, Who's the second most viewed

2024
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 3: NFL draft in history? The twenty twenty COVID draft is

2025
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 3: number one, So we had the second most viewed NFL

2026
01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 3: draft in history. In total, the twenty twenty five draft

2027
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 3: averaged seven point five million viewers across all three days.

2028
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 3: Over all three days, it had seven and a half

2029
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 3: million viewers. Round one thirteen point six million viewers. And

2030
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 3: that's what I think, Like, this is the ratings of

2031
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 3: a draft. They're blowing out playoff ratings. We're talking NBA, NHL, MLB,

2032
01:44:43,479 --> 01:44:47,400
Speaker 3: could be the World Series, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Final.

2033
01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 2: All that stuff. The draft is killing them.

2034
01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,760
Speaker 3: Can you imagine living in a world where, say, like

2035
01:44:53,840 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 3: the NBA Draft is significantly outrating NFL playoff games. That's

2036
01:45:00,840 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 3: freaking crazy. That's what we have in reverse, that's our

2037
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 3: reality here. So we always say the NFL is king,

2038
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:11,000
Speaker 3: but like I feel like we say it with the

2039
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 3: period when it should be like twenty five exclamation points.

2040
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 6: When the draft is outrating.

2041
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 3: Like playoff games, the biggest stage you have, the finals,

2042
01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:21,680
Speaker 3: it's still being outrated.

2043
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 6: That is crazy to me.

2044
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 5: And and it you know what, And this is the

2045
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 5: point I was making earlier, is the the thought process

2046
01:45:30,200 --> 01:45:33,760
Speaker 5: behind Game seven's being so good, but the weight being

2047
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 5: so exhaustive that what you end up having is a

2048
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 5: lot of people missing it. Like you know, you ever

2049
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 5: you ever get in the ocean and you're trying to

2050
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 5: catch a wave and you're like, oh, this is a

2051
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:48,000
Speaker 5: good one, and you start paddling hard on your boogiey

2052
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,360
Speaker 5: board or maybe your body surfing or I don't know

2053
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:53,280
Speaker 5: if you're a surfer, but all of a sudden, the

2054
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 5: wave it just it just gets way from you. It

2055
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 5: just it's moving too quick. You're moving too slow. You

2056
01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:00,960
Speaker 5: started paddling too late. What it is and you see

2057
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:03,519
Speaker 5: it crash and you're watching it you're like, oh, no,

2058
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 5: that was a good one.

2059
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:09,520
Speaker 4: I feel like there are so many fringe NBA.

2060
01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:14,040
Speaker 5: Fans who actually do like to watch basketball, right, maybe

2061
01:46:14,040 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 5: they have an allegiance to the Lakers Lakers get bounced,

2062
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 5: but they do like basketball. They lose the thread on

2063
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 5: some of these other series because again they're exhaustive, and

2064
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 5: then you finally get to, ultimately what's going to be

2065
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:30,680
Speaker 5: the only game that matters in the series, and you

2066
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:34,639
Speaker 5: miss the Game seven because you messed up this guy. Oh,

2067
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,639
Speaker 5: I thought that was gonna be tomorrow. I didn't even

2068
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,000
Speaker 5: realize that was onto. Are you kidding me? Oh, I

2069
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 5: missed the Nuggets. I thought it was on Sunday, you know.

2070
01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:48,880
Speaker 5: Like That's that's my problem with the NBA postseason, and

2071
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:51,760
Speaker 5: that's the reason why the NFL has been able to

2072
01:46:51,960 --> 01:46:56,160
Speaker 5: capture this audience and then create this urgency. And also

2073
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 5: the NBA draft. I mean the NBA draft, you have

2074
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 5: packed players immediately being selected. They could do the same thing,

2075
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 5: but the problem is there is zero urgency with the

2076
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:09,960
Speaker 5: regular season and frankly with their postseason, so it.

2077
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:11,160
Speaker 4: All gets washed out.

2078
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 5: Whereas every single move these NFL teams make feel so

2079
01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:20,599
Speaker 5: impactful and so needed and necessary. I don't know if

2080
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 5: they ever are able to span that gap. Brian, I

2081
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 5: just don't think it's possible because I think the NFL

2082
01:47:27,479 --> 01:47:30,400
Speaker 5: has just created the perfect mousetrap for the time and

2083
01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 5: space we're in from a sports viewership standpoint.

2084
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never had that problem with the wave. I've

2085
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:41,080
Speaker 2: never been brave enough to get surfing before. But it's

2086
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 2: a really good that I can't relate to it. I

2087
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:46,439
Speaker 2: don't think my body type would go, although it's a

2088
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,280
Speaker 2: better body type now, I guess for surfing.

2089
01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 4: But no, beach now, I know it.

2090
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 2: You got the prototype now now now, I'll be honest.

2091
01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 4: Now I'm the.

2092
01:47:56,560 --> 01:48:00,240
Speaker 2: Beach bod is beaching. I might have to go down

2093
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:02,559
Speaker 2: the Ornberger's crib down there in San Diego this summer

2094
01:48:02,600 --> 01:48:04,360
Speaker 2: and showed off for the ladies down there.

2095
01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 3: And so well them they can only they can only

2096
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 3: take so much eye candy.

2097
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 2: Over there here. Well, I'm rich right next to you

2098
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 2: day and that'll be too much. It'll be like double,

2099
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 2: It'll be like get out.

2100
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:19,240
Speaker 4: Of Actually that magnifies your success.

2101
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:21,760
Speaker 5: They'll be like, oh my god, there's Jared Smith and

2102
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:24,000
Speaker 5: I think that's a beached beluga.

2103
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:27,920
Speaker 2: Why is this overhead so shiny? I mean, listen, you've

2104
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 2: got the NFL experience, I don't. So that's what you

2105
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 2: go that's what you rely on when you're trying to

2106
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:34,800
Speaker 2: go down there on the beach. Don't tell that to

2107
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 2: missus Orenburger, though she won't want to be.

2108
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 4: There.

2109
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 2: There's just so many things with the NFL, like the

2110
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 2: way that I compare the NFL to everything else. There

2111
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 2: was a scene in The Simpsons where Homer was like

2112
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:49,840
Speaker 2: on the floor, like running in circles, and it's just

2113
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 2: like a never ending cycle. We talk about the NFL

2114
01:48:54,080 --> 01:48:59,599
Speaker 2: so much. There is no off season. It does not exist.

2115
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 2: The super Bowl is in February March, and by the way,

2116
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if the Super Bowl pushes

2117
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:07,880
Speaker 2: towards the end of February in a couple years, Like

2118
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 2: we're gonna get this eighteen game season, and we're gonna

2119
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 2: get the schedule that's gonna get spaced out a little

2120
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 2: bit with two bye weeks that's coming, and the super

2121
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 2: Bowl is gonna be end of February, I would say,

2122
01:49:17,280 --> 01:49:20,280
Speaker 2: within the next decade, So you're gonna have a situation

2123
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 2: where it's literally seamless February, Super Bowl, March, free agency, April, Draft, May,

2124
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:29,320
Speaker 2: Mini camp, June you get a little a little bit

2125
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:31,040
Speaker 2: of a rest bit in June, and then July right

2126
01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:33,839
Speaker 2: back to training camp, like it just does not end.

2127
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:37,439
Speaker 2: And that's what they want. They want you to be

2128
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 2: talking about the NFL year round. The NBA does not

2129
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 2: have that. The NBA has Summer League. You get a

2130
01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 2: little bit of a buzz, and then you get August

2131
01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 2: September and it's the nothing burger and no one really

2132
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 2: even cares. I would say in October, November until we

2133
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 2: really get to the I would say end of the year,

2134
01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:54,839
Speaker 2: New Year's time is really when the NBA steam starts

2135
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 2: to pick up. You get this four or five month

2136
01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 2: gap in a lot of these sports where it's just

2137
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:03,680
Speaker 2: nobody cares. That's not That's where the NFL wins. The

2138
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 2: NFL is the only sport, major sport, of the four

2139
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 2: major ones here in this country that are year round

2140
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:14,000
Speaker 2: sports twenty four seven, three, six five, it's the only

2141
01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:17,280
Speaker 2: sport that has that. Okay, we're gonna have to go quick,

2142
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 2: but I cannot let this audio not be played on

2143
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 2: this show. Okay, sacrifice time and rapid fire for this. Okay,

2144
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 2: it's worth it over here.

2145
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 3: So you know, going back to Yannis for a second.

2146
01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 3: Remember when the Pacers beat.

2147
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:40,200
Speaker 2: The Bucks to close them out in game six, right,

2148
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 2: and Tyrese Halliburton's dad went on the court and he

2149
01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 2: got in front of Yannis and he's celebrating.

2150
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 3: He's tawning, Yannis. You know that hole back and forth.

2151
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 3: I have to play you. This is from Papa Halle, right,

2152
01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:59,360
Speaker 3: Papa Halliburton. His name is John, the father of Tyrese.

2153
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:05,240
Speaker 3: So John Halliburton. He was interviewed by TMJ four. Okay,

2154
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:10,800
Speaker 3: and this is what he said he was doing when

2155
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:12,840
Speaker 3: he was standing in front of Giannis.

2156
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 2: Okay. This is John Halliburton's account of what went down.

2157
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 8: It might have seemed like I was looking at him,

2158
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 8: but I really was.

2159
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:21,919
Speaker 4: I was looking through him.

2160
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 2: That's how it was in the moment.

2161
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:25,680
Speaker 8: I know, it looked like we were looking like I

2162
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 8: would stay him down, you know, But it wasn't like.

2163
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 3: That, right, just looking through him. That is at new

2164
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:36,200
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope this works out because here's the deal,

2165
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 3: Like Jared, this, when you're on the beach with rich

2166
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,800
Speaker 3: this might come in handy, right, Like if you happen

2167
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:46,040
Speaker 3: to be with your girl, your wife, your significant other, whatever,

2168
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 3: and you get busted looking at the booty model in

2169
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 3: front of you. You know, No, I was looking through her,

2170
01:51:55,439 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 3: like look at this courteous beach right like what I

2171
01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:03,640
Speaker 3: can't believe he said that he's looking through Yahnest, not

2172
01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:07,719
Speaker 3: like tawning in his face exactly. It was the PACER's crowd.

2173
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:09,960
Speaker 3: I was trying to pump that what what is he

2174
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:10,960
Speaker 3: talking about?

2175
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 5: This is uh the ultimate expression of trying to get

2176
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 5: the toothpaste out of the back of it. I mean, listen, buddy,

2177
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 5: there's nothing that you can say that's gonna undo that.

2178
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,800
Speaker 5: I appreciate the effort, though, you know what I mean,

2179
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 5: like clever, Yeah, very clever.

2180
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,320
Speaker 2: You know whatever reminds me of remember in Zuelander at

2181
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:38,759
Speaker 2: the end of the movie when they're like it's in

2182
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,760
Speaker 2: the computer and they're like actually trying to like go

2183
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 2: inside of the computer. Like sometimes literal Larry comes in

2184
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:49,800
Speaker 2: and it's just too much for us to handle. That

2185
01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 2: was a literal Larry situation. No, no, honey, I was

2186
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 2: looking through her right exactly.

2187
01:52:55,200 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2188
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:58,760

2227
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:42,840
Speaker 6: Let's do it.

2228
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 2: Rampant fire, all right, shared.

2229
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:54,120
Speaker 3: We start with you with something that you like today, tomorrow, whatever,

2230
01:54:54,320 --> 01:54:56,200
Speaker 3: this whole weekend. I guess you could do this whole

2231
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 3: week if you wanted to. Just before next Saturday, what

2232
01:54:58,520 --> 01:54:59,760
Speaker 3: do you have, Yeah, let's.

2233
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:01,080
Speaker 2: Just focused on this weekend.

2234
01:55:01,080 --> 01:55:01,240
Speaker 4: Though.

2235
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 2: I do think the Game seven, right, the two best

2236
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:07,320
Speaker 2: words in sports not named Super Bowl Game seven. We

2237
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 2: got three picks for Game seven hockey and two loops

2238
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:12,720
Speaker 2: We'll start on the ice under five and a half

2239
01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 2: here with the Apps and the Stars. I mean, I

2240
01:55:15,080 --> 01:55:16,880
Speaker 2: know there's been a lot of goals in this series. Actually,

2241
01:55:16,880 --> 01:55:19,840
Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs so far has been goal heavy, but

2242
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:24,000
Speaker 2: NHL Game seven's to the under have been a trend.

2243
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:26,680
Speaker 2: All four of them went under last year, eleven and

2244
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:28,960
Speaker 2: three over the last three years. I think that one

2245
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 2: stays under the five and a half. All right, let's

2246
01:55:30,440 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 2: go to the NBA. Now, I'll give you two sides.

2247
01:55:32,160 --> 01:55:34,640
Speaker 2: We kind of talked about him already dog day here

2248
01:55:34,880 --> 01:55:36,680
Speaker 2: on the show. I'm taking the Clippers plus one and

2249
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 2: a half tonight against Nuggets. I think they're the better team.

2250
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:42,640
Speaker 2: I think the toom really showed you something. The bench

2251
01:55:42,720 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 2: points Bogdanovic as well, and I think Harden comes up big,

2252
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 2: and I'll go Warriors. I'll buy a point though. Plus

2253
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:49,840
Speaker 2: three and a half minus one twenty three is a

2254
01:55:49,880 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 2: key number in basketball. It's a cheap hook. So I'll

2255
01:55:53,080 --> 01:55:55,320
Speaker 2: take Warriors plus three and a half, Clippers plus one

2256
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 2: and a half, Stars as under five and a half.

2257
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,280
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, we have some cross over here, starting

2258
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:04,480
Speaker 5: with the Clippers plus one and a half. James Harden

2259
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:08,200
Speaker 5: has come alive in Game six. I think they close

2260
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 5: out the show against the Nuggets.

2261
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:13,480
Speaker 4: Warriors, Houston. Give me the Warriors plus two and a half.

2262
01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 4: Steph has found his group from the deep.

2263
01:56:16,440 --> 01:56:22,400
Speaker 5: I like the Warriors chances with all their postseason playoff experience.

2264
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:23,920
Speaker 4: Plus you how Jimmy.

2265
01:56:23,600 --> 01:56:26,680
Speaker 5: Butler in the postseason it was well, no stranger to

2266
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 5: game sevens, no stranger to playing well in game sevens.

2267
01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 5: And then give me the Calves to win big at home.

2268
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:35,480
Speaker 5: Their defense at home has been locked down. Minus eight

2269
01:56:35,480 --> 01:56:38,440
Speaker 5: and a half is a lot to cover up, but

2270
01:56:38,520 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 5: I think they do. So Clippers plus one and a half,

2271
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 5: Warriors plus two and a hook, and give me the

2272
01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:45,000
Speaker 5: Calves minus eight and a half.

2273
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, so let's start with the Warriors. And

2274
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 2: I think in good faith, Rich, we both like the

2275
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:55,880
Speaker 2: Warriors plus two and a half. But if Jared's getting

2276
01:56:55,880 --> 01:56:57,680
Speaker 2: plus three and a half, we gotta get plus three

2277
01:56:57,720 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 2: and a half. Two right, right, Okay, it's a cheap

2278
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 2: because it's plus two and a half minus one oh two, Yo,

2279
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 2: it's only eighteen point through that key number of three,

2280
01:57:10,800 --> 01:57:12,720
Speaker 2: which is like I think.

2281
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 3: That is important, Like it might swell to that anyway,

2282
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 3: but for the purposes of we got to lock it

2283
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 3: in right now. We'll both ill go plus three and

2284
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 3: a half in the water's great, you know, plus three

2285
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:25,600
Speaker 3: and a half sounds good.

2286
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:30,000
Speaker 2: I'll go with Steph Curry. Give me over five and

2287
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:35,640
Speaker 2: a half of cysts. He was taking some horrible shots yesterday.

2288
01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 3: And the Rockets are going to continue to double him

2289
01:57:38,720 --> 01:57:41,080
Speaker 3: blitz him, and I think he's gonna be a whole

2290
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:42,520
Speaker 3: lot smarter in Game seven.

2291
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,880
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get some of his teammates involved.

2292
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 3: He actually did have some nice passes yesterday because.

2293
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:50,800
Speaker 2: I was on his assists yesterday.

2294
01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 3: There were some air balls, bricks like what are we doing?

2295
01:57:55,600 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 3: Type shots, and I think that's gonna be. It has

2296
01:57:58,640 --> 01:58:01,240
Speaker 3: to be better than it was last game. So I

2297
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 3: think Steph is still gonna look for opportunities to pass.

2298
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:06,680
Speaker 3: I think the supporting cast is gonna be better than

2299
01:58:06,720 --> 01:58:07,760
Speaker 3: it was last night.

2300
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it can be worse, honestly, So give me.

2301
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:12,800
Speaker 3: Over five and a half assists for Steph Curry and

2302
01:58:12,840 --> 01:58:15,000
Speaker 3: then I'll look for Game one tomorrow.

2303
01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:16,560
Speaker 2: Pacers at the Calves.

2304
01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:21,440
Speaker 3: The Calves I think are going to punish Indiana on

2305
01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:24,720
Speaker 3: the boards. They have a significant advantage. I'm gonna go

2306
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 3: with Jared Allen. I'll go over ten and a half rebounds.

2307
01:58:28,680 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 3: I think it's tough between Jared Allen and Mobiley. They're

2308
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 3: both gonna eat on the glass, but man, they do

2309
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:39,960
Speaker 3: have a pretty big advantage there. So I like Jared Allen.

2310
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a vacuum cleaner on the glass.

2311
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,840
Speaker 3: Give me over ten and a half for Jared Allen

2312
01:58:44,880 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 3: in that Pacers Calves game.

2313
01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, like that one, I'm about a bonus pick for

2314
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:49,840
Speaker 2: the Derby.

2315
01:58:50,560 --> 01:58:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's hear it.

2316
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:56,000
Speaker 2: Sovereignty five to one now the paramutual one. It might

2317
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 2: not be five to one at post, but this is

2318
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 2: the horse that I have heard some very positive things about.

2319
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,560
Speaker 2: I know Journalism is the favorite, and of course we're

2320
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 2: all journalists. Why aren't we betting journalism. I don't like

2321
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 2: betting the favorite in the Derby. There's so many horses.

2322
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:11,640
Speaker 2: I prefer to have a little bit of, you know,

2323
01:59:11,760 --> 01:59:15,600
Speaker 2: long shot odds. I do like Seamus's look on the

2324
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 2: Japanese horses. There's two of them in this race, Luxer

2325
01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:20,560
Speaker 2: Cafe and then Admired Daytona. I think one of those

2326
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 2: horses might finish in the top three as well. So

2327
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:25,760
Speaker 2: how about an exact the box with Luxer Cafe, Sovereignty

2328
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:29,520
Speaker 2: and Baeza. Another long shot with Flaviy and Pratt on

2329
01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:33,120
Speaker 2: the irons there really excited about the derby today. I

2330
01:59:33,280 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 2: just hope for selfish reason, Sandman does well, and not

2331
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 2: only because of Metallica, because of one of my favorite movies,

2332
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 2: Training Day or

2333
01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:46,000
Speaker 3: Denzel He's got to go take money from the Sandman

2334
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 3: love that aspect as well.
