Right 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: then it's conference championship week and then the draw and 7 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: then the tournament. Folks, March is gonna be kaos. I 8 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: can't wait. I will say it was a little bit 9 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 2: of a shock to the system seeing some of the 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: results this weekend. You know, obviously Michigan whooping up on 11 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: Illinois Friday night at Illinois that lost for me. I 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: had Texas Tech, Iowa State, and I went with Iowa 13 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: State at home. They hadn't lost at home all season. 14 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: Iowa State goes down. It was tough Friday Saturday for 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: your boy. Bounce back Saturday evening, I think with the 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: a couple of picks I put on Instagram, But overall 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: this was h This was one of those weekends. I 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: tell Rob g Oh, we're gonna fire up the podcast. 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: Let's get Sunday night out of the way. And I 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: hadn't open my computer all weekend. And those are the weekends, 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 2: you're proud of yourself. You know during NFL that there's 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: no chance of that, But now you know, it's like, oh, 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: my daughter's got a volleyball tournament, and then you know, 24 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: I got to shuttle my kid my son around. By 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: the way, at some point, I'm gonna have to open 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: this up to how many parents actually let their kid 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: drive when they're able to get their permit, because I mean, 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: my son's still a little ways away from that, but 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: in my mind, no shot that that's happening. And then 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: I end up having to shuttle them around to stuff, 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: and I'm like, man, I don't like doing this shit. 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: I'm kind of looking forward him driving. Rob G's like, 33 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: oh damn, I got a long ass way to go 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: before that. But and then my daughter played in the 35 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: beach volleyball tournament and I coached her team. I will 36 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: say this if any if any videos surface of me 37 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: from the weekend acting like a lunatic on the sideline 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: during a girls' youth basketball game. You know, listen, I 39 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: get into it as a coach. No technical stole for 40 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: me in my career, but it was so you know, 41 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: we got a good team and we got nine players, 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: and one girl's hurt, another girl was sick, and then 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 2: another girl is like a highly competitive soccer player and 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, shows up when she wants. I don't 45 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: like that. And then our best player, the soccer player 46 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: girl is our second best player. Our best player had 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: a club game, right, so she's like the dad who 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: I coach with is, oh, she can play the first half, 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: and then we got a bounce. It's like, oh yeah, fine, 50 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: of course no referee. So we start late and he's like, dude, 51 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: we got to go. So she plays five minutes of 52 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: the game. ROP and I when I'm coaching full games, 53 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: I haven't lost with this team in like three years, 54 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: and you got a new players every year, so I'm 55 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: into it, rob. But you know, I've got a reputation 56 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: to a poll and the best player scores like seven 57 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: points in five minutes and then leaves, and at that 58 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: point I'm like, oh my gosh, we're gonna get murdered. 59 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: So we only have five players. The other team has nine, 60 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: and you know, I was kind of unhinged a little bit. 61 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: You know, when my daughter comes over and she's saying, like, Dad, 62 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: you need to chill out. And when the wife afterward 63 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: is like, yeah, that's not a great look. I'm like, 64 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: but this is how why Yeah, I'm this is you know, 65 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: this is you got to give the people the full 66 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: j back. Anyways, we got to win. I mean I was, 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: I was going crazy now when I say losing my mind, 68 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: Rob on the sideline and I know, I know you're 69 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 2: gonna be coaching your daughter soon, soccer, basketball, whatever. I'm 70 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: not like freaking out. I'm asking for clarity from refs 71 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 2: on fouls. I'm kind of gesticulating, if you will, sideline, 72 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: I'm going crazy when players score, uh, like, you know, 73 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: one of our players without a lot of experience, i'd 74 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: like at six points and I'm like going, my gosh, 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: you know, like it was that's me. I mean the zone. 76 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: That's how I am with a men's league, That's how 77 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: I am watching sports. I love life, Rob, and obviously 78 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: I like talking, hence the podcast. This is a tough 79 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: time for content because there's not a lot of NFL 80 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: going on. And Rob and I before the pot are like, oh, 81 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: is there NFL to talk about? And I said, did 82 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: you watch any combine? Rob said no, and keeping the 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: real guys did not watch one second of the combine 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: now one. Now, you don't totally need to. Given social media, 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: you could just go on Instagram and like all the 86 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: videos are aggregated. So why am I watching? Right? I 87 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: did read a lot about the combine. It's it just 88 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of juice this year, Rob, given 89 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: the lack of quarterback Pop and Mendoza are not throwing. 90 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: You know, people are trying to make that a thing. 91 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: And then people are trying to, you know, create this 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: market for Ty Simpson that there isn't. It's just I 93 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: don't know. You you guys have the first pick as 94 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: the Raiders, but Rob, you watch No are people texting 95 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: you about combine stuff all weekend? Or is it pretty not? Really? 96 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: Just no interest? Now? 97 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: You know, I got a couple of people who are 98 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: like nerds this kind of thing where they're like, oh man, 99 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 3: did you see did you see the numbers that styles 100 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: put up? 101 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, like freaky freaky life right. 102 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 3: And it's like, of course, but you know, I care 103 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: more about the on field stuff than I do about 104 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: at high weight speed. Now, of course he's one of 105 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: the guys who's both so like but that's the extent 106 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: of it. And then other than that, there are a 107 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: few people who like to send me videos or usually 108 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: tweets where it's like the storylines that are coming about, 109 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 3: usually like the interview processes, things that I find more 110 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: interesting than the on field combine stuff. So like mackay Lemon, 111 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: depending on who you follow, either had quite possibly the 112 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 3: worst interview sessions in NFL history, or there is one 113 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: person who has told twenty five different people that he 114 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: had a terrible interview and everybody else like, no, it 115 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 3: was just fine. Yeah, So like that's the kind of 116 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: stuff that I find interesting. 117 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: It's a little silly the USC wide receiver. Everybody's killing him. 118 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 2: When he was at the podium, it didn't look great. 119 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: I saw some screen grabs and some videos and he 120 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: looked a little cocky. I don't know how much I 121 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: put into that. I mean again, there is you could 122 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: look through history and be like, oh, well this guy 123 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: didn't didn't interview well and he ended up being a 124 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: bus But you can also find well, this guy interviewed 125 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: poorly and it didn't matter in iota, you know. I mean, 126 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: unless I'm in the room, I don't know, but I 127 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: will say this Rob when I'm like, you know, putting together. 128 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: These men's teams. Some of these guys that you hear 129 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: about and you're like, oh, do I want to run 130 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: with this guy? And you talked to him a little bit, 131 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: you can just tell like, that's not for me, you know, 132 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: not my kind of guy. And so I'm sure these 133 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: NFL teams, you know, you're auditioning for them. Bernando Mendoza 134 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: said it best. I'm here at a job interview. I'm 135 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: just open to get a job. Mendoza has the right attitude. 136 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: Some of these other guys, you know, who aren't going 137 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 2: to go one for sure. Maybe they're trying to steer 138 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: their way. Hey man, we are taking you at ten, eleven, twelve, 139 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: whatever the number is. Just can you bomb some other interviews? 140 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: The only problem is what if that team, you know, 141 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: some of these handshake deals are turned out to be 142 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: bs right, Like, it's not a lot that they're taking you. 143 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: I heard a rumor that the was it two drafts ago. 144 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: I think it was brought with brock Powers, that this 145 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: person is an actual reporter told me it's oh, it's done. 146 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 2: The Rams are trading up for brock Powers. That's happening. 147 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: And it didn't happen, and I'm like, so, how much 148 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: of this is be yes? So I don't know, Robert, 149 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: I get. I'm with you. I don't get too worked 150 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: up about what's happening at the combine. That being said, 151 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: what I do think is interesting is a piece that 152 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: came out kind of predicting where quarterbacks are gonna land. 153 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: And I've been on this hill for a couple weeks now. 154 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: This whole Malik willis nonsense. The guy in his career 155 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: four years, he has six starts, he threw thirty five 156 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: passes last year. Nobody is giving him thirty five million dollars. 157 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. I know his agent's trying to do 158 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: work through some of the reporters, you know, saying, oh, 159 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: thirty thirty five minutes the floor the nonsense. So, according 160 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: to a couple guys at ESPN and Graziano and Fowler, 161 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: they essentially say, thirty years is not realistic. Thirty million 162 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: a year is not realistic. He's not getting thirty million 163 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: dollars per year. That it's more, it's closer. It's gonna 164 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: be closer to Justin Fields two years, forty mili. Maybe 165 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: you get that twenty up to twenty five. But again 166 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: you've got to look at the options. It's pretty clear 167 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: all the Jets actions are We're not doing that. The 168 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: Browns are not doing that. They got multiple quarterbacks. So 169 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: now you've got Arizona because of the floor connection to 170 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: his brother who is coaching in Green Bay and the 171 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: other brothers now coaching Arizona. And then there's Miami because 172 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: of the former Green Bay guys and Tennessee guy who 173 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: are in Miami. Okay, so if you're Miami or Arizona, 174 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: why are you overpaying? And I'm gonna be honest, Rob, 175 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: if you're Miami, all signs to me point that it's 176 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: a teardown, right. They dumped Tyreek Hill, they dump Chubb, 177 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 2: They're moving off guys. Sounds like if they don't get 178 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 2: anything for Minca, they're moving off him. What you're dumping 179 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: everyone and then you're gonna go get Malik Willis. They 180 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 2: want to tank. So now you're left with Arizona and 181 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: not really a bidding war. I don't see a world 182 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 2: where like anyone else, who am I missing? Rob? Is 183 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: there any like Minnesota's going for Malik Willis? To me, 184 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: that makes no sense. 185 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, this whole situation with the off season quarter back 186 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 3: carousel is kind of wild to me because a lot 187 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: of the places that are being tabbed as hey, this 188 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: could be a landing spot, that could be a landing spot, 189 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: that could be a landing spot. Most of them already 190 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: have a quarterback in place. Like, let's at off with Miami, Miami, 191 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 3: say what you want about Tua already has a quarterback 192 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: in place. And last I checked, if the Miami Dolphins 193 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: wanted to move off of to a tongue of ba 194 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: loo and they can't trade him, which all by all accounts, 195 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: they will not be able to trade him unless they eat. 196 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: Unless they eat like eighty percent of the of the contract. 197 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: If they cut him, they'll have ninety nine point two 198 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: million dollars in dead money. Now, they can split that 199 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: by doing a June one release and all that stuff 200 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 3: and make the math work that way. But let's say hypothetically, 201 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: you want to cut Tua to sign Malik Willis. Okay, 202 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: So even if I split up the money between two years, 203 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have fifty million dollars to Tua. And then 204 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: you know, with the captionanigans, let's say you're giving Milik 205 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 3: Willie's closer to twenty million but his cap numbers on 206 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: ten sixty million dollars to have what the twenty fifth 207 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: best quarterback in football, the twentieth best quarterback in football, 208 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 3: Like that doesn't make sense to me, right, that doesn't 209 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: make sense from a business perspective. And whether or not 210 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: you think Malik Willis can be a franchise guy, it's 211 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 3: a different conversation. But I don't think anybody believes that 212 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: Malik Willis is good enough to where you're gonna say, 213 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: I'm willing to commit sixty million dollars of caps room 214 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: to a quarterback. And then he moved down to the 215 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 3: western part of the United States and say Arizona. You 216 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: mentioned the Arizona tion, the Laflora Tian. 217 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is still there, Kyler Murray, if you decide 218 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: to cut it. 219 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you decide to cut him, is going 220 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: to cost a lot of money against your cap. And again, 221 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: if he's gonna go to Arizona, my assumption would be 222 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: because of the relationship, maybe he gets more from there 223 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: than he would elsewhere, similar to justin Field. So I 224 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 3: think would not have gotten twenty million dollars a year 225 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 3: from anybody other than the Jets because Aaron glanfor whatever reason, 226 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: decided Justin Fields is the guy I can win with. 227 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 3: You got to believe in him. You kind of got 228 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: to overpay to get him out of a situation. That's 229 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 3: what they did. If Arizona decides that Malik will Listen 230 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 3: is the guy again, you're spending forty fifty million dollars 231 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: of your cap on what the fourth best quarterback in 232 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 3: that division? Like, like, it doesn't make sense to me. 233 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: And so this is gonna be one of those weird 234 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: markets where someone is gonna get squeezed. Someone is gonna 235 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: be like, hey, I thought I was gonna get twenty 236 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: million from somewhere. 237 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: I thought I might. Man, I got traded so I 238 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: can keep my money. It's not gonna work it out 239 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: the way. 240 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be an afterthought or I'm gonna be a 241 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: backup somewhere, and then that guy's gonna have this Sam 242 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: Donald type season. 243 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 244 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: the nation.

Everybody 248 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 2: listening is saying, well, wait a minute, Wait a minute, 249 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: guys for Broncos cut Russ, got bon Nicks and then 250 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: made the playoffs two years in a row. And they 251 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: could have they had the number one seed, they should 252 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 2: have been the super Bowl. Time out they had Russ, 253 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,599 Speaker 2: dumped him, had the dead cap hit, and drafted a 254 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: quarterback ten. There's nobody to draft a tenor or five 255 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 2: or fifteen unless there's a team out there that says, hey, hey, Arizona, 256 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: we love Ty Simpson, we're taking him. What are the 257 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: what are is Arizona four? Three four something like that. 258 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: You think they're taking Tysonson? Then high you can't. I 259 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 2: mean unless that they believe he's the guy, then hey 260 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: go for it. Good good luck. But the Russell Wilson 261 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: would worked because of bon Nicks. They had him at 262 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: the ready and that was a loaded quarterback draft. So 263 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 2: unless like the Raiders that they cut Gino, I don't 264 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: think it's a bad dead cap hit, right, And then 265 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: you have Mendoza taken over. No big deal. But you 266 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: seem to think Rob you think they keep Gino. 267 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's whether or not I would do it if 268 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: I was running the team is a different conversation. But 269 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: John Spytek said at the beginning of the combine. Tom 270 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 3: Brady has said basically since he retired that he doesn't 271 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: like the idea of starting a quarterback week one unless 272 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: they are just absolutely ready to go and it's clear 273 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: that they are better than everybody else in that roster. 274 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: I think he called it a tragedy was the word 275 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 3: he used. That we are drafting quarterbacks who are not, 276 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 3: in his eyes, mentally or emotionally ready to play the 277 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: position at the NFL level, and rather than wait to 278 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: develop them so that they are ready and they can 279 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 3: have a successful career, what they're doing is they're moving 280 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: the franchise back, so to speak, to meet the quarterback 281 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: where they are at the college level. So we're dumbing 282 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 3: down our offense, we're dumbing down our play calling. We're 283 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 3: making sure that we're only running things this guy's comfortable with, 284 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: and that's how we're going to get him to play 285 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: in the NFL. Now that can work temporarily. Shout out 286 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: to CJ Stroud. 287 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: C J. Stroud's best season came as a rookie. 288 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 3: Since then, once team's caught up to him and what 289 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 3: he does and doesn't do well, what's gone wrong with CJ. Stroud, Right, 290 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: And so what you're what I expect the Raiders are 291 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 3: gonna do is they're gonna take for Nando Mendoza number one. 292 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: They're gonna have Geno Smith or whoever start the first 293 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: for a maybe even the whole season, depending how it goes, 294 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 3: and let Fernando Mendoza develop on his own time. And 295 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 3: if the cost savings of cutting Geno Smith is only 296 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 3: eight million dollars and then you got to pay six 297 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: million dollars to get Jimmy g or whoever, I don't know, 298 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: somebody like that, then what's the point. Like, you might 299 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: as well keep Geno Smith at that point and at 300 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: least he's you know, known in the unknown commodity within 301 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: that organization. 302 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird, Like we're most sticks the biggest names 303 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 2: at quarterback because nobody thinks of Mendoza is like that 304 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: big of an issue since he's going one, right, there's 305 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: no competition. Is Malik Willis who has thirty five career 306 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: pass attempt or thirty five pass attempts last season. That's it. 307 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: That's the bell of the ball. And then the other 308 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: one would be, oh, the Vice Kings, they need a 309 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: quarterback to push JJ McCarthy show. Those just wait to 310 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: see who's cut, whether it's Kirk Cousins to uh or Kyler, 311 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: and it's like, oh, are you excited for that poo 312 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: poo platter? Roub like those guys who jumps out of you. 313 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: I gotta well, I'm more excited about that poo poo 314 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 2: platter than JJ McCarthy. Yeah, you're out on him. I'm 315 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: kind of pot committed, So I'm still gonna like try 316 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: to so are the vikings. 317 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 3: Like That's the big thing that people don't want to 318 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: accept is it's like, yeah, everyone can point to that 319 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: they botched this last season. You know, they get rid 320 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: of Sam Darnold, who ends up winning a Super Bowl. 321 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 3: They get rid of Daniel Jones, who before an injury 322 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: look like a Pro Bowl quarterback. 323 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: They don't even. 324 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: Bother to interview and meet with Aaron Rodgers because they 325 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: don't want to have that personality lording over the quarterback 326 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: room with j McCarthy. The problem that people don't want 327 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: to accept is that Minnesota trade it up to get 328 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy. They let those three guys go because of 329 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: JJ or they let two of them go and didn't 330 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 3: go after the other third one because the GM the GM, right, 331 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: so they were, as you mentioned, pot committed to JJ McCarthy. 332 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 3: They are heavily invested in the success of JJ McCarthy. 333 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 3: And to cut bait this quickly after what twelve starts 334 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: in an NFL career, it would be Anthony Richardson level 335 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 3: of like that terrible, that's how bad he asked me 336 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: for you to move on that quickly. And if you 337 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: don't even know, if you don't even know what he is, like, 338 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 3: how can you feel comfortable doing that yet? 339 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Anthony Richardson thing, he his name's probably in 340 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: the mix, although I think you've got a trade for him, right, 341 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: They're not gonna cut him out right, Actually they might 342 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: need to. No, no, No, Jones will start on the 343 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: pup list, so they'll have some kind of bridge quarterback. 344 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins makes a hell of a lot 345 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: of sense there. Yeah, I mean, listen to the quarterback situation 346 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: is fine, but Rob it's interesting. We just like manufactured 347 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: ten or fifteen minutes about maybe NFL quarterback scenarios that 348 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: are going to get hotter this week once the first 349 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: what is it March third, is when the start of 350 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: the we start tagging guys, yeah, start tagging right, right, right, 351 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: and you start releasing guys, right. But I'm actually more 352 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 2: into this NBA stuff that's going down. So my Spurs, Yes, 353 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 2: I'm starting to call them my Spurs. Sorry. They went 354 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 2: to New York trying to win. I think they had 355 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: the eleven game win streak and they get smoked. Is 356 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: that a fair assessment by New York? New York pulled 357 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: away in the fourth, but they were in control. It's listen, 358 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: Spurs had had a great run. I thought they might 359 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 2: be motivated to face the next given the what is 360 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: that the Cup series? What's that thing called NBA Cup? 361 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: That's what they would be motivated off that. But they weren't. Listen, 362 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 2: that's a long road trip, right. So they had won one, 363 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 2: they had won ten in a row, and they were 364 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 2: on their fifth straight road game, I mean fifth game. 365 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: So they played Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday. Damn. So actually, 366 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: if you tossed it, well, the Sacramento game was home. 367 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 2: But four road games in six days that's a lot, 368 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: even on a young team, and you could see them 369 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: wear down on the fourth that they got blitzed. So 370 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: now they have one more against Philadelphia before they head 371 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 2: home for that return matchup against Detroit on Thursday. That'll 372 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 2: be spicy. But the Spurs I think are gonna be interesting. 373 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: Anybody who watched that game National TV game, Rob, They're 374 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 2: gonna sell Spurs stock right? Oh man? They lost by 375 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: twenty five to the Knicks. Then the Knicks aren't even 376 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: playing good? Does fine sleep on them all you want? 377 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: Hopefully they they're discounted a little bit in the futures 378 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 2: market this week ahead. So they got Sixers, Pistons, Clippers, Rockets, Celtics, Nuggets. 379 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: That is a murderer's row, and five of them are 380 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: at home. I have a feeling they're gonna get hot. 381 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: If you haven't bet the Spurs already, and you should have, 382 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: I think now's the time to do it. Rob. I'm 383 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: just still enamored with this team. Did this Knicks result 384 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: change anything for you or No? 385 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 3: No, not at all, because the only time people will 386 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 3: react when it's the Lakers. Yeah, way, like when it 387 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: comes to the San Antonio Spurs, or the New York 388 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 3: Knicks or the Denver Nuggets or even though OKC thunder like. 389 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: Teams have bad nights, teams have off shooting days and 390 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 3: Victor wem Benyama was fine. They've looked at the box score, 391 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 3: but you see what happens when they're not making threes 392 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 3: around him, and they and it allows teams to crowd 393 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 3: Wemby and he turned the ball over a little more 394 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: than what he's expected to. And like these kind of 395 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: things happen, right, Like it's not unusual for the NBA. 396 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: You had mentioned the road trip. This was what goes 397 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: down in the NBA. 398 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 3: We just saw about a week and a half ago, 399 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: Nikola Jokic and the Never Nuggets lose to the Steph 400 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: Curry less Jimmy Butler less Golden State Warriors, who the 401 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 3: Lakers beat by thirty. 402 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: On Saturday night. 403 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like this kind of is 404 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: par for the course, and as long as you can 405 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 3: maintain your composure, like the way you are, you hold 406 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 3: firm if you believe in a team in the long 407 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 3: term out look like the San Antornio Spurs then by 408 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 3: the dip is what I say, because I think they're 409 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 3: gonna be damn good in this postseason. 410 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: So it's interesting that you say that Lakers won. A 411 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: week ago the Warriors smashed the Nuggets not smashed. They 412 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: beat them with pods going off no Curry, and it 413 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: was like, well, you know, it's not a big deal 414 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: for Denver, you know whatever, It's just one game. So 415 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 2: then the Lakers, who those same Warriors. Now, no, no, A, 416 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 2: Lakers stink like the Lakers. Lakers are terrible. You beat 417 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 2: the same team that just beat Denver a few days ago. 418 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: So Rob, it's almost to the point where the media 419 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: is discounting Laker wins. So we're recording this now before 420 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 2: the Lakers take the court against the Sacramento Kings. Now, 421 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: I'm assuming the Lakers are gonna win this. I cannot 422 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: imagine the scenario where they lose this game. They are 423 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: double digit favorites the Kings. I haven't seen a starting 424 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 2: lineup yet, but best I can tell no Zach Lavine, 425 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 2: no Derosi, oh, no is de Rosan plant. 426 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: I believe Bonus like they've They're down like five of 427 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 3: their best players. 428 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: Keegan Murray's out, the Bonus is out, Lavigne is out, 429 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 2: DeAndre Hunter's out for the season. And Lakers can't lose 430 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: this game. And the Spurs, I'm sorry this Kings are 431 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: they're incentive eyes to lose as we've talked about, they 432 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: want Darren Peterson or Boozer. I mean, holy, oh my gosh, 433 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get in. I do have the king starting lineup, 434 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: if you care about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's hear that. 435 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 2: Let me see Okay Russell Westbrook. Oh geez, wait, it's 436 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 2: a rest book, revenge game, classic rust game going on. 437 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: DeMar de Rosen. 438 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 3: Shit, he's done, he's good, precious atchua okay, Nick Clifford, the. 439 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 2: Young kid out of UA. B is it Colorado State? 440 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: My bad? Lack? Seem Ray Nod? Who wait? Is that 441 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 2: the rookie from Stanford? I believe? So wow he's starting. Man, Oh, 442 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 2: this is a DeAndre Aiden bounce back game. I like 443 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: that we're saying this beforehand because, by the way, Ayton 444 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: is clearly in his own head. He was getting brushed 445 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 2: by Shack. It's been a rough week for eight You 446 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: gotta pop off and then back it up, and so yeah, 447 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: this is what you're missing, not pop off and then vanish. 448 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: You can't be Dominaton and then have that kind of performance. 449 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 3: Was that is nicknamed domin That's what he called himself, Dominaton. 450 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: Oh gosh. 451 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 452 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsports Radio 453 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to 454 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: listen live. 455 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 2: It's funny people are bending over backwards and trying to 456 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 2: do statistical, you know, nonsense to make it feel like 457 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 2: the Lakers Big three is good. So now what I'm 458 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: seeing here is since Christmas, excluding garbage time, the Lakers 459 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: with Lebron, Luca and reeves on are plus twenty point 460 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 2: seven net rating. Now, Rob, you know how this works. 461 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 2: The certain fans of certain teams, they love Lebron. They 462 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: got to defend Lebron. A lot of the stuff is 463 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: Lebron's doesn't play defense. So now they're saying, well, look 464 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 2: at the Lakers net rating when you remove garbage time 465 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: since Christmas. Well, I don't know why they would exclude 466 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: before Christmas. Maybe was Lebron out all before Christmas? I 467 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: forgot he did miss some time at the start of 468 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: the season. But it's like, I mean, you, you know 469 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: how the game is played. People defend who they love, 470 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 2: and the Lebron defenders are out in full force. Did 471 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: you see the stat that since the Rich Paul podcast dropped, 472 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: the Lakers are below five. I mean, this is what 473 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: we're doing now. Roh. 474 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, that's one of the ones where I 475 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 3: would actually be like, that's not a terrible stat. 476 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: Really, since their podcat you want Buddy, my Dog's like, hey, 477 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: can I come in and watch the Lakers? 478 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: I mean, because like I can't on one hand say 479 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 3: like how I think that the Kevin Durant dms are 480 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 3: gonna cause problems within the Rockets locker room, which I 481 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 3: think that they have. 482 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 2: It's just that he's been playing great, So what does 483 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: it matter? Oh? Did you see the Tyler Hero look 484 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: Durant thing? I did? I did, so that's like a 485 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 2: two sidetrack, but I tried to see. I slowed it down. 486 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 2: I listened like ten times. I couldn't tell that. Hero said, 487 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: I know your burners or whatever? Could you was it 488 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: clear to you? 489 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 3: I couldn't tell based on the videos that I saw. 490 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 3: I mean, I dont wouldn't doubt that it's true, but 491 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 3: the video I saw, I couldn't. 492 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. And then Hero was asked in the locker room 493 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: and he said, yeah, Kad said, because you can't guard anybody, 494 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: which is true. And then when they said, well, what 495 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: did you say? Back, and he's like, you'll have to 496 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: ask Kevin. Now, there was reports that he called him 497 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 2: a bitch, which that's that's fighting words that maybe that's 498 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 2: what he said. I don't know, but you're right, I 499 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 2: don't think we're done with the burner accounts. And maybe 500 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: we just need Dylan the villain Brooks to get back 501 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: from injury so he can stir the pot. You know, 502 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 2: that's what your best anyways, go back to the Lakers, no. 503 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 3: Which is like, I can't on one hand say I 504 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 3: think that's going to cause problems within the Rockets locker 505 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 3: room and then just dismiss the fact that the agent 506 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 3: who has acted as Phairo Foul, the de facto mouthpiece 507 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: of the biggest star in the sport and the guy 508 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 3: who has a nickname of Legm for. 509 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 2: A reason, like, you can't. 510 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 3: You can't try to say with a straight face that 511 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 3: all of Rich Paul's thoughts are in his own independent thoughts. 512 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 3: You cannot tell me with a straight face that there 513 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 3: is not at least some influence of Lebron James and 514 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: what he's saying. Yeah, so I tend to agree that 515 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 3: that stat that Hey, once the richeball comments, you know, 516 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: or the podcast started, the Lakers kind of fell off 517 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 3: a cliff. 518 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 2: I could totally see. Why. Is there any way and 519 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 2: this is tough, you know, as we wrap up, is 520 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: there any way to like yet, is there anything Reddick 521 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 2: can do to get the team to not think about 522 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 2: this summer and just crush for like the next few 523 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: weeks there? Or is the media too much of an 524 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 2: impediment because as you know, the media, these guys have 525 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: to meet there, They're mandated to meet with the media 526 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: practically every day. And it's just to me, it's real tough. 527 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 2: That's the biggest hurdle here. If you just focus on 528 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: the basketball, the players on the court, and there was 529 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: no not having to worry about the media, I think 530 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: they might be fine, But these narratives, Rob, it's a 531 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 2: real thing. You know. These guys are young, They're checking 532 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 2: their phone all the time. Remember Dalton connect how he 533 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: was in every single trade roomer and then he played 534 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 2: like total manure? Do you remember that? Like now amplified 535 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 2: to Lebron James, who has more social media following than 536 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 2: I think like the top fifteen NFL players combined. So 537 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 2: there's nowhere for Lebron to run and Lucas. You think 538 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 2: Luca's not seeing this stuff, You think Austin Reeves is 539 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 2: not seeing Oyanna's trade Austin ball every every day. There's 540 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 2: just no way around it. 541 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: Is there. 542 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 3: No, I mean, it's impossible to ignore that kind of stuff, 543 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like it's it's just and 544 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 3: and for JJ Reddick, it's going to take a uncomfortable 545 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 3: decision on his part, which I don't think he's going to, 546 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 3: but he's gonna have to have a real heart to heart, 547 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 3: man the man kind of conversation with Lebron James and say, 548 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 3: if we have any chance of making any kind of 549 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 3: run in the postseason, I need you to play this 550 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 3: very specific role because Luca is incapable of playing it defensively. 551 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: Austin Reeves tries, but he's incapable of playing it defensively. 552 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 3: We have nobody on our roster save for like Marcus 553 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 3: Smart and Jared Vanderbilt that is a plus defender. Lebron, 554 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 3: I need you to put all of your efforts into 555 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 3: playing great defense and hopefully that'll be enough to elevate 556 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: the guys around you where we're at least middle of 557 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: the road and we can hope that, Luca brilliance, Austin 558 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: being very good in the postseason, Riha Chimura being a 559 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 3: playoff riser, which, for whatever that means, that'll be enough 560 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: for us to win a round or two and then 561 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: they'll see we'll go from there. But unless that happens, 562 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 3: there is nothing he can do that to keep these 563 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 3: guys focused. 564 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't want to put words in your mouth, Rob, 565 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 2: but I just need to clarify. Did you just say 566 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: maybe JJ Reddick needs to ask Lebron to be a 567 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 2: defensive stopper? Yeh, pretty much? Yes, I did, well. Coach, 568 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 2: What do I do on offense? Coach, Get out of 569 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: the way, get out of the set screens, Lebron, we 570 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: need you to guard the team's best offensive player. I 571 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: don't know that he's listen. I'm not gonna here to 572 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: kill Lebron. Obviously, he's forty one. He's not the defensive 573 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 2: player he was. But Rob, there are times where you 574 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: know how they joke on social media, but oh he 575 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 2: glitched because he was stuck in quicksand and he didn't 576 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 2: move as a guy was back cutting. I feel like 577 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: I've seen more of those Lebron this year than I 578 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: had like in the last five years combined. It's just 579 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 2: you know, he's a step slow. I don't know that 580 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: I can ask him. So what is who's guarding Anthony 581 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: Edwards in that first run series? 582 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 3: You you probably would have to have Marcus Smart guard 583 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: him to start off with, and then have Lebron be 584 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: like the free safety roamor destroyer of worlds the way 585 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: that Afthy Davis was back in the day or that 586 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 3: Draymond Green access sometimes like there is no world where 587 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 3: the Lakers can make any kind of run at their 588 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 3: defenses and not at least average. 589 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: But also at the same time, you know, in the playoffs, 590 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: it's not like it's Marcus Smart on him. No, they're 591 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 2: gonna just hunt Luca and Reeves exactly. 592 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: So that's why you need the secondary defenders, the back 593 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 3: line of defenders to make up a lot of ground. 594 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: And I don't trust my guy dominate him to do 595 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: anything Jackson Hayes. You know, he's too busy punching mascot 596 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 3: for no reason for me to trust him. Like so, Lebron, 597 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: if if if it's about the team, this is what 598 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 3: we need you to do. 599 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: Who's a better matchup for the Lakers. But they're better 600 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: chances to advance Houston or Minnesota. Oh, probably Houston. Yeah, 601 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: they only have one stopper in Amen Thompson, right, and 602 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 2: then it's someone great scorer in Kevin Durant. Yeah, and 603 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: at some point they're gonna have to trot out. Uh 604 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: you know, read the young kid out of Kentucky who's good. 605 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 2: But I don't know who he's guarding on the lake, Like, 606 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: who's the Austin Reede is cooking him? Right? Uh, he's 607 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: not guarding Luca. I mean, I guess you could go 608 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: big and go Thompson, Easton k D, Jabari Smith and 609 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: sh Goon, but Luca might just hunt Shin Gooon. I 610 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: take the rockets definitely. Yeah. I mean like Luca will 611 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 2: go after Gobert, but he won't be able to easily 612 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: because they also have Jade McDaniels. And then again, former 613 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: Laker Julius Randall will turn into Dominique Wilkins. I don't. 614 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: I mean remember that series Randall went off. It was 615 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: it was like, come on. 616 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 3: He went in Toto with Lebron and badly outplayed him, 617 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 3: which is something I would have never thought. 618 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 2: I would have said, Yeah, we have some other fun 619 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: up NBA topics we can hit later in the week, 620 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: But I am curious. Did you watch the lou Dort 621 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 2: foul Friday Night on Nicole Jkic? Of course I did. Well, 622 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 2: were you watching in real time or no? 623 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: No? 624 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,719 Speaker 3: I watched the replay, Okay, I mean I was. I 625 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: had watched part of that game, but that specific part 626 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 3: I didn't see live. 627 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 2: I saw that after the fact, So I missed most 628 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 2: of the game. And then I start tuning in second half, 629 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: and you know, I'm doing of Friday Night and I 630 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: see the play happen, and I'm like, that is one 631 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: of the dirty, Like it's really dirty. And I my 632 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: big takeaway was rob I think Okay's one of the 633 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: most unlikable teams in the league right now. I mean, 634 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: I have Detroit up there and I have Okay see 635 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: up there, and I think the Okay seat part is 636 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: mostly because the SGA nonsense. He comes back in like 637 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: always Look he scored thirty five. Look how he's doing it. 638 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: The free throw merchant stuff is back. That is undeniable. 639 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 2: Then you got lou Dort, and I watched that Denver 640 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: game and they got super lucky. Okay, they did win it. Overtime, 641 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 2: but like every single whistle, so they were able to 642 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: grab and foul and push that all they they foul 643 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: a ton right, and now anytime there's a whistle they're 644 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 2: like wait, wait what, Like four guys on the quarter 645 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: are like putting their hands up, like where's the valiy go? 646 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 2: And I'm like, guys, can you just play basketball? And 647 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: I know that the counter is well, Jay, what about Luca? 648 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: He does this all the time. I'm like, yes, Luca 649 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: does that. Now, amplify at times four and let me know. 650 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: And again I like Caruso, he's leading to charge with 651 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: that stuff. I think they're very unlikable. And Dort is 652 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: the ring leader. He's like Dylan Brooks level. That was 653 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: such a non basketball play, Yo. Kich look like he 654 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 2: was gonna choke him out. 655 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and anytime. I don't mess with the guys, but 656 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 3: he's from the Eastern block. I don't mess with those guys. 657 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 3: They've seen some stuff. They have cold winners. They grew 658 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 3: up with aks at the age of seven, Like, nah, 659 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 3: I'm good on that, but unlike you, I actually really 660 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 3: love the way Okac plays defensively because they bring that 661 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks mentality where it's like, we are going to 662 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: foul you on every single play. The Seattle Seahawks, if 663 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 3: you watch them play, they will grab and tug and 664 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 3: hold you every single play. And they know that the referees, 665 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 3: because they're aware of the TV deals, are not going 666 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 3: to call a penalty on every single play. So they're 667 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: gonna put the onus on the referee, like, hey, if 668 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 3: you want to make it a choppy game and throw 669 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 3: a five yard holding penal, fine, but I promise you 670 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 3: you're not going to do that because you don't want 671 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 3: to do that. Okay, See is going to voul you, 672 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 3: grab you, push you, do everything they can defensively because 673 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 3: they know that the NBA referees are not going to 674 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: want to start have twenty eight free throws in the 675 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: first quarter. 676 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: So I'm with it. I wish the Lakers to do that. 677 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Rob, we don't need another Okay see who 678 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: they face the Okay, well we'll be okay, see Indiana. Okay, 679 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: See New York will be palatable. Okay, see Detroit boy. 680 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 2: You want to talk about brutal ratings and interest in June, 681 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: well the world couple will be here. 682 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: That would rival Spurs Pistons from back in the day, 683 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 3: and they did. 684 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 2: They make change the rules and stuff all right, Monday 685 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: showing the books got some good stuff this week. Hopefully 686 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: the Lakers pull through against the Kings. Right now, they're 687 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: up early. You're Rob G's boy domin eighton with four 688 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 2: points early, which I think, uh tops what he didn't 689 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: like each of the last two games. I don't know. 690 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 2: All right, we'll see them on
