Speaker 2: He of courses are Fox Sports, MLB analysts, NHL analysts.

Speaker 2: with the great John Paul BARROWSI JP leading off today.

31
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I.

32
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: Want to get right to it right now, because here

33
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, the LA Kings are looking for answers

34
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: after once again falling to the Edmonton Oilers. After winning

35
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: the first two games at home, they end up getting

36
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: swept four in a row. It's only the second team

37
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: in any sport ever to lose to the same team

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: four years in a row in the first round of

39
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Did the Kings sign some kind of pack

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: with the devil after winning that second Stanley Cup in

41
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, Like, we'll give you this, but you will

42
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: never win another playoff series because the fact is they

43
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: have never won another playoff series since winning that second

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup.

45
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, good morning out in La Good

46
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 5: afternoon to those of us here in the East your

47
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 5: time zone. You're right, it has been a long few

48
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: years for the Kings in the playoffs. But I would

49
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 5: make this point that a lot of teams would lose

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 5: to Connor McDavid and Leon dry sidele there is. I

51
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 5: know that it's not the result the Kings fans wanted,

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: but those two are going to Hall of Fame, and

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 5: we saw I think after the first two games, McDavid

54
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 5: and dry title just simply take over that series. That

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 5: there are I believe some positive signs for the Kings

56
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: going forward. I think that Byfields took a big step

57
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: this season.

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 6: I'm a big fan of Kempe.

59
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: There's a lot of things to like, and I still

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: think Dowdy plays at a very high level for the

61
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Kings, but they are not They're not an

62
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 5: elite team right now in the Western Conference. I think

63
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 5: the elite teams you'd have to say Vegas based on

64
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 5: what they've achieved in recent years. The Oilers are elite.

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 5: The Stars, I believe are elite. I suppose we'll see

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 5: if after tonight we can still describe the President's Trophy

67
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: winning Winnipeg jetson that way based on the up and

68
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 5: down play of Hellibuck in this series, but I don't

69
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: think it's anything much more complicated than their young talent

70
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 5: hasn't quite matured enough. I am a big Brent Clark fan.

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: There's a lot to like again about this King's team,

72
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: but they're just a notch below where the best of

73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 5: the best of the Western Conference are right now, and

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 5: they have the misfortune of playing in the same conference

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 5: as two of the all time greats in McDavid and

76
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 5: dry Sidles.

77
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: My man, J P. Murosi, Man, how you doing, brother VJ?

78
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 6: I am outstanding.

79
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: The only way I'd be better is if we were

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 5: reliving Game seven between the Knicks and Pistons. That's about

81
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 5: the only way I've been doing better this morning. But

82
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: my goodness, if I could be a proud Michigan or

83
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 5: for a moment, It's amazing how with this playoff run,

84
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: it's re energized basketball industry is brought back all these

85
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,839
Speaker 5: amazing memories of the past teams. And then I think

86
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 5: the city has fallen in love with the personality of

87
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: this group. And Kate Cunningham and then Jalen Durhan just

88
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 5: what a great two way player. And then I thought

89
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 5: Asar Thompson did a brilliant job on Brendon. I realized,

90
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 5: you know, it comes down to the last shot and

91
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 5: you lose your footing in a moment like that it's

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 5: nobody's fault. I think Osar Thompson they would not have

93
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 5: been in that situation without the great defense he had

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 5: played all series long. So big believer in the Pistons.

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 5: Trajan Langson, great job, bickerstaff outstanding, and I think the

96
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 5: best has yet to come from these young Pistons.

97
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: All right, so let's stick there. I was gonna go

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: to the Texas Ranger, of course, but I mean, you're there.

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: I'm a big Pistons fan. I've been a Pistons fan

100
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: since the eighties, since the Bad Boys. Isaiah Thomas has

101
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: always been my go along with Kobe Bryant. Understand where

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: everybody else's goats are, that's fine, but those always been

103
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: my guy. So I've been knee deep, waist deep into

104
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: Pistons love my entire life of love in basketball.

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 4: I agree with everything he's're saying.

106
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: I had a chance to talk to Trajan Langdon when

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: they were here playing the Lakers back in December, and

108
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: he had this energy off of him.

109
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 6: Up.

110
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: I know it's not there yet, but damn if we're

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: not putting together something good. You talk about Jalen durn

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: That showed, Okay, we got.

113
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: A double double.

114
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: Big guy here who could call some problems in the future,

115
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: and he's young. Will love him to work on his hands.

116
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: Bubbles the ball a little too much for me, but

117
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: you can work on that in the off season through training.

118
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: You mentioned k Cunningham. I called him motor Kade Cunnyingham

119
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 3: because the guys just coming down the street like a

120
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: motor k man.

121
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: But he's got some things in his game too.

122
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: He needs to find himself a go to bona fide

123
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: move that I could go here, get a bucket anytime

124
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: I want to. He does not have that yet. All

125
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: the other little pieces around you mentioned. We can throw

126
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: those names all day, but I want to throw two

127
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: names at you and tell me what you think. I

128
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: think the Pistols this year in the off season they

129
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: need to do one or two things. Either go get

130
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: you a stretch four okay, maybe add another defender. And

131
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: I remember Ivy was out with the injury. He was

132
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: sixteen and seven when he got hurt. Okay, and then

133
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: we didn't have no Isaiah Isaiah's stoort. But two names

134
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw at you. If the Pistons won a

135
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: big swing, like they want a free agent whoa, look

136
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: what Trajan Lanen and the Pistons are doing.

137
00:05:59,400 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: Everything.

138
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: He's to be broken up in Phoenix. That thing is done. No,

139
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: not Kevin Durant. But I think a guy like Devin

140
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: Booker could be a guy that could be trade bait.

141
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: And then we also know Joe Dumars is now the

142
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 3: VP of the New Orleans Pelicans and as a gentleman

143
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: down there that I think just needs a change of scenery.

144
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 3: It has not worked. You may be to do some

145
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: things with him. And as Zion Williams said, which one

146
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: would you go? And then where am I too off

147
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: on these two names? Or do you got somebody else

148
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: out there that you think the Pistons need to go

149
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: after this offseason? Or do you just like go getting

150
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: stretch for in another defender?

151
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: Guy Booker is the guy for me, thank you. And

152
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 5: of course remember remember where he grew up. I know

153
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: one of us, yep, And so I think from that perspective,

154
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 5: I remember at numerous times in recent years I've seen

155
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 5: him out wearing a tiger hat.

156
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 6: There He's got that.

157
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 5: Connection still to his roots in Michigan, and I just

158
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: think that he could probably replace I'm imagining roughly the

159
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: cap hit and the and the lineup spot to what

160
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: Smarter Junior had this year. I think Hardaway was good,

161
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 5: but they could probably upgrade a little bit on what

162
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: they got from him in the playoffs. I think that

163
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: Beasley obviously, he almost single handedly got them to a

164
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: to a Game seven with the way that he shot

165
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: in the first half of Game six. But I think

166
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 5: Beasley for that role is good. I'm I'm in agreement

167
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 5: that they they missed Stewart at different times, especially when

168
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 5: Duran got into foul trouble. They they were just too

169
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: They're a little bit too short.

170
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 6: In the post I felt to be able to handle

171
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: when they had.

172
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: To deal with both Kat and then I thought Heart

173
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 5: played well for the Knicks. I thought an andob At

174
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 5: numerous times in that series was as effective as almost

175
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 5: anybody else in the nixt year.

176
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: And so I feel like he was the guy.

177
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: That didn't really have an answer for and so that's

178
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: that's where I would look. I would look for maybe

179
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 5: someone that could be a little bit more of a presence,

180
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 5: a little more length in the in the four and

181
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: then bring in Booker and hope that you have a

182
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 5: little better help from from Ivy and Stewart, and you

183
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: could find yourself easily playing against the Celtics in a

184
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: really big series a year from right now.

185
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: I love hopscotching all over the place right now, I'm

186
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hop Scott's over to baseball right now and

187
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: talking about We talked about him last week, but we

188
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: have to continue to talk about Aaron Judge right now.

189
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: For thirty two batting average. In fact, right now, he

190
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: has an eighty three point lead in the Major League

191
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: batt I would doubt, as we are sitting here on

192
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: May the fourth, be with you May fourth, that anyone

193
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: has had an eighty three point lead over any other

194
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: hitter in baseball in the batting average category. But that's

195
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: where we are right now with Aaron Judge. I mean,

196
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 2: what is he capable of by seasons? Then?

197
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: Assuming obviously helps a big part of it.

198
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: With Judge, He's obviously had a lot of injuries over

199
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: the years and maybe have held him back from all

200
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: time totals.

201
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: But assuming he stays healthy as he did in twenty

202
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: twenty two and in twenty twenty.

203
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: Four, or from what you've seen so far, forget those years,

204
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: how far can he take it? Could he actually possibly

205
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: sniff four hundred. Is that even possible for a guy

206
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: like Aaron Judge.

207
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 5: I think anything is possible with Aaron Judge. There was

208
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: a long time in the game where everybody thought that

209
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 5: sixty one homers would never be passed in the American

210
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 5: League outside of obviously the nineties, And look at what

211
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge did just a couple of years ago. To me,

212
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: you look at the context of why I believe he's

213
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 5: got a chance. Number One, because Grisham has emerged, because

214
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 5: they've got Bellinger, he doesn't quite have to play center

215
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 5: field as often as he was in past years, which

216
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 5: I think is a little bit of a lesser toll

217
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 5: on his body.

218
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 6: So that's good.

219
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 5: That keeps him a little fresher. And number two, he's

220
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 5: always had a really good sense for the strike zone,

221
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 5: but his swing decisions this year have been next level awesome.

222
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: And so when we you can do that kind of

223
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: damage and you're almost only ever swinging its strikes hit

224
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: aible pitches, you are able to put together historic seasons.

225
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 6: Now.

226
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: The other thing, too, you'd have to say is that

227
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: he understands better than pretty much everybody else in baseball

228
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: what it means to chase down history. And obviously the

229
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: home run record was one piece of history. A four

230
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: hundred batting average would be something else.

231
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 6: But he's used to it.

232
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 5: He understands how to handle that pressure. No one would

233
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 5: say it in well, Aaron Judges, No, one's like to

234
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 5: be in the spotlight. No, He's been in the spotlight

235
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 5: every app bat he's ever taken in the Major League,

236
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 5: and so from that perspective, he's very much at ease

237
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: when it comes to pursuing history. I love the way

238
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 5: that he's going about things this season. He's one of

239
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 5: my favorite players to watch in the game.

240
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 6: Clearly, to me.

241
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: He is the best hitter in the sport period. There

242
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 5: is really no argument about that. And what he's doing

243
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 5: right now is right up there with the legends of

244
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: the Yankees from any generation. It's Bambino, lu gerrig Mantle, DiMaggio.

245
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: They would all love to be in the company of

246
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 5: number ninety nine right now.

247
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, JP, I'm gonna stick with baseball, and I

248
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: guess I will get me a ranger question there, because

249
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: Steve loves when I asked my ranger questions to you.

250
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: Sure you know how I love this. I feel the

251
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 3: same way by my Pistons since the eighties. Man God

252
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 3: finally got our worldsors two years ago. Last year kind

253
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: of a worldsaters ain't over injuries, and then this year

254
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: they come out in this pitching staff as number one

255
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: in majors. I mean they are mowing down lineups, going six,

256
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 3: going seven, a.

257
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: Couple of a eight game for a big game, Nate.

258
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 4: But then you turn it.

259
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 3: You look at the offense seventeenth in home runs, twenty

260
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: ninth in RBIs twenty six and batting averages, and they

261
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 3: have the people there. I feel like I got to

262
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: pull a Pedro Serrano for Major League and go get

263
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 3: Joe bu and some rum and blow up something in

264
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: the locker to get to wake up the bats. What

265
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: in the hell is going on with the offense? I

266
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: know it's early, but this is unacceptable. What is going

267
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: on with the office with the Texas Rangers.

268
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 5: Well, it's a really important question.

269
00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 6: Of course.

270
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: Last night, a very difficult two to one line to

271
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 5: the Mariners, who are one of the best pitching teams

272
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball. They've had to rely on, I

273
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 5: think players that weren't necessarily expected to lead the way

274
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 5: You've got Smith who had the bat leadoff last night.

275
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 6: He's become I think one of the more dependable guys.

276
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 5: The still relatively young Wyatt Langford is actually having a

277
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: great first half. He might be an All Star seeker.

278
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 5: Of course has missed some time, but he's back now.

279
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 5: To me, the big concern is with Josh Peterson and

280
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 5: Marcus Hemion. Those are the two guys that I think

281
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, and with Semeon, he's too young for

282
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: me for this to be any kind of an Oh

283
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 5: my goodness.

284
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 6: Has he lost the conversation.

285
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 5: Maybe there's an adjustment that has to be made that

286
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 5: he hasn't been able to make yet. But if we're

287
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 5: talking about diagnosing the issue, for me, the issue.

288
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 6: Is right there.

289
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 5: And I would also say too, remember what made them

290
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 5: special when they were going to the World Series of

291
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: winning it. It was that Adolis Garcia was a dynamic

292
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 5: player that was hitting the ball over the fence all

293
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 5: the time. And last night over four to two strikeouts, he's.

294
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 6: Got in two oh seven.

295
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 5: So I would actually probably say that those three names, Peterson, Semeon, Garcia,

296
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 5: they need more from the third of their lineup if

297
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 5: they're going to find a way to compete with what

298
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 5: is right now the best team in the American League,

299
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: the Seattle Meriton right very much a pitching a pitching

300
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 5: based organization and with cal Rawley behind the plate with

301
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 5: an a level rotation, even with Logan Gilbert and George

302
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 5: Kirby on the injured list, right now, the Seattle Mariners

303
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: best mark and the American League.

304
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: Two names you threw out there just really quick, Seeger

305
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry Peterson and Sammy Peterson batan average zero

306
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: point zero nine to nine and my man Marcus one

307
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: seventy nine at thirty three played appears games play.

308
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: That's totally unacceptable.

309
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you, all right, Well, great stuff is always.

310
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: By the way, you mentioned cal Rawley, who, by the way,

311
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: is the leading the only staff that Aaron Judge is

312
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: not leading home runs run je Sky's got twelve home

313
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: runs already, and the Mariner is gonna try to do

314
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: what they weren't able to do and get across the

315
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: finish line into the postseason. JP, was great to have

316
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,000

Speaker 5: my friends. Thank you Steven VJ for the conversation. And

320
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 5: I'm not sure that I'm a very good lead off hitter,

321
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: but I really tried that. I appreciate the opportunity as

322
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 5: always to talk a little hockey, oops and baseball.

323
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,640

Speaker 2: is always an interesting combo as we're already moving on

330
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: to the second round, but some of the carnage that

331

350
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: we have two playoff games today. In the NBA Game

351
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: one of the series between the Cavaliers and the Pacers.

352
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: We'll get to that a little bit later on.

353
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: And in the course, we got the huge Game seven

354
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: between the Warriors, who thought they had this series wrapped

355
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: up up three games to one against the Raw and

356
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: now they face the Game seven in Houston. So we'll

357
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: get to all that, but we need to sort of

358
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: look at the carnage that's been left behind him. There's

359
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: plenty of it in the first round of the playoffs.

360
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: And of course, the one team getting the most attention

361
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: as always and really for good reason this offseason are

362
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers after their complete meltdown in their

363
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. That you know, before the

364
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: series of ej most people thought he I am Minnesota

365
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: might give him a little problem. Maybe that might win

366
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: a couple of games that you know, they're all looking ahead.

367
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: Minnesota dominated this series, and then to hear you know,

368
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: the Rob Pelinkas and the JJ Reddicks, you know, just

369
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: say wow, they were a better team. I'm like, really,

370
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: that's funny. Didn't hear that before the series. But it's

371
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: certainly proved that way. All right, the guy I want

372
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: to start with, we got obviously, we got we got Luca,

373
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: we got Lebron. But I have to talk about JJ

374
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: Reddick for a second here because a year ago, Darvin

375
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: Ham lost in five games in the first round to

376
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets, who by the way,

377
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: had home court advantage, and he got fired, fired fire immediately,

378
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: like five yared immediately first round five games against the

379
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: defending NBA champions who had the home advantage. This year,

380
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick had the home court advantage, they were favored

381
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: in their series against Minnesota, and I hear people like

382
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: on the Lakers station and they were saying, well, even

383
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: with the playoffs, as I got a great for him

384
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: f F I mean, I mean, f it goes down

385
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: as one of the worst coaching jobs in a playoff

386
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: series ever, ever, ever, and that cannot be overlooked. And

387
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: then the way he walked up that by the way,

388
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: that was my that's my friend, Rashaan Haylot.

389
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: That asked some questions.

390
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Sean asked him basically the question was this,

391
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: did any What he really meant to say was something

392
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: along the lines of, hey, when you decided to play

393
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: all five starters the entire second half of Game four,

394
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: even when he had a ten point league going into

395
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, did any of your assistant coaches like

396
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: tell you, like, that's a mistake. But you know, Rashaun,

397
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: he covers the team. He's around the Lakers a lot.

398
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: So he's like, so he's like, well, you know, if

399
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 2: you're in a similar situation moving forward, you know, how

400
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: much conversation will you have with coaches? Is there someone

401
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: to sort of lend in an opposing thought along the line.

402
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: And JJ Reddick just had a complete meltdown and walks

403
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: off the stage before Game five.

404
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: That's when you knew this is going to be a

405
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: long night.

406
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: As they lose at home as sold out crowd at

407
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: Crypto dot carm Marena his temperament his ego and it's

408
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: immense will not enable JJ Redick to be an elite

409
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: coach in the NBA.

410
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: I've made up my mind.

411
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: I had doubts about him before the season, I have

412
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: no doubts now. JJ Reddick will never be a successful coach.

413
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: In the NBA.

414
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: Well, as a guy that was there and covered the

00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 4: where the game is.

431
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: Anyway, my manor shot at my manor J Sehan Haylo

432
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: because I was there and him and I we talked

433
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: about this.

434
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: Afterwards.

435
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: I text him, I said, first of all, kudos to

436
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: you for having do you know what to ask him that,

437
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: because the local guys won't do it. I've been covering

438
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers all year long. I made it to about

439
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: twenty five twenty six games. I can't do forty one.

440
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 3: I do other things. I actually have a life outside

441
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: of sports. Right did about twenty five to thirty games.

442
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: So I've been in every press, game, every pre every post,

443
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 3: every single.

444
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: One of them.

445
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: And that has really been his temperament that if you

446
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: ask him a real fair journalistic reporting question that questions

447
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: how great you think you are, because that's what this

448
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: comes from. I sat right here in this exact seat,

449
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: and when he got hired, I said, this is the

450
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: worst pro sports coaching higher I've ever seen. He's never

451
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 3: coached a high school team before, he's never coached an

452
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: AAU team before.

453
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: And you not only get an.

454
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 3: NBA job, you get the most prestigious franchise other than

455
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 3: the Boston Celtics in the history of basketball, other than

456
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 3: the Harlem Globe Trotters, and you get that job what

457
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: we knew was all set up sitting there sipping wine

458
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: with his good friend Lebron James, talking x's and o's

459
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: and I would do this here and now we do

460
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: this here, and oh jj Reddick is a is a

461
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: candidate to be the Lakers coach after the man literally

462
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: sat on TV and disrespected the past. That's greatness of

463
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 3: this league and call people plumbers like you gotta be

464
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: kidding me. That pissed me off really bad. One because

465
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: Rashan's my friend. But two, no, one you someone had

466
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: the guts to actually give you a fair question, and

467
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: all you had to do is say, well, maybe I

468
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: need to use her. But the way he looked at him,

469
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: he goes, yeah, that's a really weird assumption.

470
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: And no, it's not an assumption.

471
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 3: You didn't play anybody else in the fourth quarter of

472
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,800

501
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: don't play.

502
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 3: They don't block, they don't pass, they don't shoot, they

503
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: don't dunk, they don't hit, they don't feel.

504
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: Coaches don't do none of that.

505
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: But you know what they do do They drop the

506
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: ex's and nose to prepare those guys that go do

507
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: all those adjectives I just named, and it just seemed

508
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: like he was just and the postgame was even worse.

509
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,080

513
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: for himself, a coaching grave. And we'll explain how it's

514
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: gonna affect the future of both Lebron and Luca. But

515
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: first let's find out what it's trending right now.

516
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: And we are putting off the team that I don't

517
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: even know.

518
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 3: I'm I'm just real fast because I listen, I saw yesterday.

519
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 3: I always think of you and and Mally when I

520
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: watched the when I watched the clips, honest, because you

521
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 3: guys that are the only two like real diehards.

522
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna make sure.

523
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 8: We get a lot of diehards. You just don't know that.

524
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: That's what.

525
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 8: I don't think that there's not.

526
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: Did you see Game six and into it? Don't that

527
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: play that it was.

528
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 5: All?

529
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 3: But we're gonna make sure that we we're gonna make

530
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 3: sure we hit this other team up in the city today.

531
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: What he should have done.

532
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: I guess see what he paid all expenses for like

533
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: one hundred people from the wall twenty people. Uh, it's

534
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 2: so and seated them strategically. I mean, when you have

535
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: all the money in the world, you can do whatever

536
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: you want to do.

537
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 8: I would. And the fact that those owners have it

538
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 8: and none of them do it, so at least.

539
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: They don't have I got he's just he could buy

540
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: the whole league. Understand that owner. Uh he is.

541
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 2: I love that guy because he's all in. He's all in,

542
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: and that's what you want when going to do whatever

543
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: it takes to give it a chance to win.

544
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: They were up five at the end of the first

545
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: quarter and then.

546
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, I saw it.

547
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: I mean only one of the things you have to

548
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: say is, I mean Denver just was not missing.

549
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 8: That that was true. You got to do so and

550
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 8: six to start the game.

551
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 9: And that's how we were up by five because we

552
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 9: had a lot of terrible possessions. We weren't protecting the ball,

553
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 9: we weren't hustling. There was no effort. And you know,

554
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 9: if you want to hear more, you're gonna have to

555
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 9: tune into me and carry roads later today because they're gonna.

556
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 8: Absolutely let it off. But it was it was a.

557
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: Say, embarrassing, pardon embarrassing, it was I thought, I thought

558
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: Tylub postgame said it right. I mean, he said, I

559
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: really feel bad for these guys that the season has

560
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 2: to end like that because the effort to get here

561
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: and everything else they did when he eighteen in the

562
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: last twenty one to get there and for it to.

563
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: End like that.

564
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 9: How you lose matters, No, absolutely, how you lose matters,

565
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 9: get off. But yeah, I mean that that was Yeah.

566
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 9: He fumbled that pass, yeah.

567
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: Which not even not even an opportunity to see if

568
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: the ball goes in, are missus?

569
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 8: I that was heartbreak.

570
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 9: I would rather lose that way than be blown out

571
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 9: in a game seven because of lack of effort and

572
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 9: trying and heart and energy and everything.

573
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: I fell on the floor. My daughter came and rubbed

574
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: my back.

575
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:26,920

Speaker 3: think he's a really good player. I just never saw

632
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: him as a number one for your team to win

633
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: a championship. And I know there's this playoff Jimmy like

634
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: playoff Paul right, like playoff PG, which never really for

635
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: tear logs, but I loved them something the other day.

636
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: His postseason career numbers are twenty one, six and four.

637
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, how are you played.

638
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: Off somebody at twenty one six and four and you're

639
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 3: the man up until now at g State. You've been

640
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 3: to man Bro. But this idea, I just think that

641
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 3: it kind of got out. I mean he's went with it.

642
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: Okay, he got He got Miami to the finals twice. Yeah,

643
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: you know, once in the bubble when very few teams

644
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: wanted to be in the bubble, and then obviously the

645
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: miracle when they take out the Celtics to get to

646
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: the final a couple of years ago.

647
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what happens.

648
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 2: This is why everything is amplified when you get to

649
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: a World Series or get to the Super Bowl or

650
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: get to I mean all this. You know, Jalen Hurts

651
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: went from like just another quarterback to oh he's one

652
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: of the all time legends because he won a super Bowl.

653
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: Well, he won super Bowl. Super Bowl MVP is not

654
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: a legend. But he checked the two boxes. Joeys Blackham

655
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: was a Super Bowl MVP, So I mean.

656
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: And he checked two of the boxes that we judge rise.

657
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, it doesn't suddenly take it to the stretch.

658
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: And that's your point. In other words, we're.

659
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: Over overrating the star power of Jimmy Butler.

660
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: But I do believe.

661
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: I mean I thought this until the last couple of

662
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: games that Jimmy Butler is a huge difference maker for

663
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: Steph Curry because look at Curry. Since Jimmy Butler joined

664
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: the Warriors, how much better his game has been.

665
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: All Right, Well, Montsey, thank you very much.

666
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 4: I just I hit it about Jimmy Butler, like that

667
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: really good player.

668
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: Well we're going to find out today.

669
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: We'll find out, will yeah, yeah, Game seven's or swear

670
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: it's on the road too, all right, Harbin and Husky

671
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: here Fox Sports Sunday, we are in the Fox Sports

672
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: radio studios. All right, we're trying to look through the

673
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 2: carnage that is the Lakers. I'm going to move on

674
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: to Luca and we've talked about the post gun press

675
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 2: conference in some of the comments made by his coach,

676
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, who, by the way, even though he said

677
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: I expect to get better as a coach, he didn't

678
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: actually take any direct blame for anything, by the way,

679
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson didn't, but he had a resume behind it.

680
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: You know, you don't have to take blame when you've won,

681
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: you know, double digit NBA titles, when you've done nothing

682
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: as a rookie coach and have just engineered one of

683
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: the worst coaching meltdowns in NBA playoff history.

684
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: To then turn.

685
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: Around and not even I mean, if you're going to

686
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: call out the championship conditioning needed by certain players, just

687
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: say his name. I mean to me, it's even worse

688
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: if he had just said, look, Luka, Doncic is a

689
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: great talent, but if we're gonna win a championship, we

690
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: need to get him in better shape because we need

691
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: him to play an entire season and be able from

692
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: a conditioning standpoint to carry us to the playoffs. Instead,

693
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: he did one of those Yeah, well, you know, some

694
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: guys in the team are in championship shape and some aren't. Well,

695
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: who the hell you think you're talking about? So now

696
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: you're Luka Doncic. I would love to be Luca that

697
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: because you know, in front of the cameras, Luca's very

698
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: complimentary about JJ Reddick and you know, Lake and everything else.

699
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: He hadn't signed on the dotted line yet. But if

700
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: I'm Luca right now, I'm sitting there with with Rob

701
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: Halincoln saying all right.

702
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: What is your game plan? Round? What is your game play?

703
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: I am the future of your franchise if I decide

704
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 2: to stay with your franchise. So I got to make

705
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: a lot of big decisions. I'm only twenty six years old.

706
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: I've already had a coach calling me out, people talking

707
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: about my conditioning.

708
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: That's what the last franchise did to me.

709
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: So what is your plan? Tell me your game plan?

710
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: Because I want to win a championship. I don't care

711
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: what uniform I'm worrying. If you can't put together a

712
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: championship caliber team around me, then maybe I should take

713
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: my services elsewhere. So that's where we are right now

714
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: with Luca only amplified again by just again JJ Reddick.

715
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: He needs to keep his mouth shut.

716
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 3: Listen, I've enjoyed Lucas since he's been there. I think

717
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: Luca's changed this franchise. I've been open and saying this

718
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: is not Lebron James's franchise, is not Lebron James's team anymore.

719
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 4: This is Luca's team. But you can still feel the

720
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 4: Lebron effect.

721
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: There's not a more passive, aggressive, cryptic guy in all

722
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: of American sports and the history of American sports than

723
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: Lebron James.

724
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: And now you can see us.

725
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: Rubbed off on his coach because Phil Jackson called out Shaq,

726
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: Phil Jackson called out Scottie Pippin, Phil Jackson called out

727
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: Dennis Ramin. Phil Jackson called out Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant

728
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 3: got eliminated. They lost by twenty six, the biggest close

729
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 3: out game finals a deficit ever.

730
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: And when he said at the podium, he said.

731
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 3: We need to get tougher, we need to get they

732
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: and it starts with me, but yeah, pal buying them,

733
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: owe them. He said that you could go YouTube the video, guys,

734
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: he named. Everybody goes, we all do. We gotta get tougher.

735
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: That's what leaders do. Leaders say, Hey, watch me do it.

736
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: Bosses and dictators go, you go do this. I learned

737
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 3: that when I was in sales. Real leaders will show you, Hey,

738
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,080

Speaker 3: Let me show you how to add at a steam

742
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: room into this house that these people are trying to build.

00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 4: Let me show you. Watch me and I'll show you.

744
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: The Lakers don't have that right now, the Lakers have

745
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: I'm Lebron and I got my coach, JJ Reddick. We're

746
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: kind of one and the same. We know guys from

747
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 3: Duke can be a little smug, it's nothing new. And

748
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: from the Duke basketball program they're head coach is one

749
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: of the smuggest head coaches ever in American professional sports.

750
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: And JJ Reddick played for him.

751
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 3: And when I sat and heard that, if you could

752
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: see the eyes in the room, like, bro, who you

753
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: want you?

754
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 6: Just?

755
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about?

756
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 7: Bud?

757
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: Who's been carrying this team the last two months? Was

758
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: it been Lebron?

759
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 8: Oh?

760
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 4: Has it been the ill conditioned Luca?

761
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: This guy's been dropping thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine,

762
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: forty five, forty one, forty three thirty What are you?

763
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: What are you? Who are you talking to? And if

764
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: that's the case, isn't that on you guys?

765
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 3: Isn't that on you guys that have a conditioning program

766
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 3: together and be able to condition your athletes. You can't

767
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: wait for all these guys to just go do it

768
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: on their own, because if you do that, half of

769
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: them are gonna do it. You have to be like, Okay,

770
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 3: this is our tenor ay for the off season. So

771
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: we're gonna train it five thirty, then we're gonna train

772
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: a nine o'clock. Do it, and you must beat then

773
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: just do it that way. But to sit up there

774
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: and say championship, what would that?

775
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: What the hell would you.

776
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 4: Know about NBA championship conditioning?

777
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: You never played in the NBA finals. Get out of here,

00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: bro leave listen.

779

782
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: last two months and into these playoffs and then the

783
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: back and then Lebron we'll.

Speaker 1: Talk about that well.

785
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: And but let me just say this, you know, and

786
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: then there's Lebron. We won't give you the truth of

787
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: his future. This is Fox Sports Sunday.

788
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 7: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

789
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: Radio Steve Harvin bj Husky. Here Fox Sports Sunday. We're

790
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 2: live from the Fox Sports Radio studios talking some carnage

791
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 2: after the first round of the playoffs. Although technically we

792
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: still have a Game seven today between the Warriors and

793
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: the Rockets. Who thought that was gonna happen. We'll have

794
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 2: more on that game a little bit later on, but

795
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 2: we're talking about the Lakers right now. We've talked about JJ,

796
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 2: We've talked about Luca Ounce. Time to talk about Lebron

797
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: and as usual and you use the word cryptic, U,

798
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: It's it's very accurate when we talk about Lebron James.

799
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: After the game.

800
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe the one question somebody asked this question

801
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: seriously after the game, So where would you rate playing

802
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: with your son this year?

803
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: It's all time?

804
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: Who I mean, who is asking that question after you

805
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: just choked off a Game five at home? But somebody

806
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 2: is like, so, where would it rate you playing with

807
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: Brony this year and immediately he's like, it's the greatest

808
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: moment I've had in sports. It out does anything I've

809
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: ever done individually playing with my son. So we've been

810
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 2: down this path before with Lebron James where he hems

811
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 2: and hawes about his future with the team, and usually

812
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: especially in a contract year. Remember he as a player

813
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: option for fifty two million plus. He wants a new

814
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: deal or a much better option I think for him

815
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: if he serious about playing for another championship team and

816
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: a much better deal for the Lakers, they try to

817
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: load that fifty two million dollars from their payroll. Us

818
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: to turn the page here, I mean, he's got to me.

819
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: To me, the best options for Lebron are not trying

820
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: to force the Lakers to give him a new deal,

821
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: new extended deal for more money that would further cripple

822
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 2: this team from ever getting to where they should be,

823
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 2: and opt out of the deal. Be a free agent.

824
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: Look around, hey, Cleveland, my old team. Do you want

825
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: helping hand. I'll throw my hat in the ring, or

826
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 2: you know, joining his buddies up there at Golden State

827
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: are doing something along the lines or even better than that,

828
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: how about just retiring while you're still an elite player.

829
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: You know you've already broken all the records. You just

830
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: said you had your greatest moment in basketball by playing

831
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: with your son.

832
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: That's that's done. That was the final check on the box.

833
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: I just I look at this right now. I've been

834
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: maintaining we have seen his last game of the Lakers.

835
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna maintain that.

836
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 2: But when I'm hearing him repeat things that he has

837
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: said in the past that led up to forcing the

838
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: Lakers to redo his deal and extending his deal, that

839
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: makes see a little bit nervous right now. And by

840
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: the way, if the Lakers do do that, no chance

841
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: of winning a championships because they will have no money

842
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: necessary to bring in a big man of consequence on

843
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: this rush.

844
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they try to do with Alex Lennon. I laughed

845
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 3: at that sign, and I got called a hater.

846
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I laugh, I laugh.

847
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 3: All I did was post a story and then like

848
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 3: thirty laugh emojis on my Twitter and everybody's you're hating it.

849
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, how much did Alex Lynn play?

850
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 1: Guys?

851
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 4: All the people that called VJ hater?

852
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, by the way, no did you see

853
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: what Polanka was asked about Lennon.

854
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: He goes, well, the coach decides on who plays.

855
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no accountability. And that's one of my pet

856
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: Pee's man is people that are unaccountable.

857
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 4: I can't stand them kind of people.

858
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 3: Stay there, you know what away from VJ if you

859
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 3: do know how to know how to look in the

860
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: mirror and be accountab All right, So do Lebron James that,

861
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: you know what? I hope he does. You know what

862
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: I hope happens. I'm gonna be very cynical right here.

863
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: Say make sure you listen. No, baby, this is not

864
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: for you, but I I know you'll love this. I

865
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 3: hope Lebron goes into free agency.

866
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: I hope he does.

867
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: I hope he goes in a free agency. I would

868
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 3: I would love to see it because then maybe everybody

869
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: that are out in the world, and all the clutch

870
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 3: cronies and all the Lebron fanboys who were willing understand

871
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 3: you guys, did you just used the word elite?

872
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 6: No?

873
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 3: The hell he's no, the hell he's not. He's not

874
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: an elite player anymore.

875
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: He's a player.

876
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: He's a layup merchant and a jump shooter now off

877
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 3: and on with no real basketball bag. Where's Lebron's moves

878
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: at anymore?

879
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: The dog put the tape on.

880
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: It's either I'm gonna just put my head and drive,

881
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 3: or if my jumper's fall out. I even admitted last week,

882
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: when this jumper's falling, he's hard as hell to guard

883
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 3: because he's gonna.

884
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: Get the call if he if he drops.

885
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: He was fifteen or eighteen from the free throw line

886
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 3: two games ago, so he's still getting calls for a

887
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: guy that said I don't get no calls. And then

888
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: people were posting, actually, you're fourth in the league at

889
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: free throw at causing free throw TIMPs. Brother, like, like,

890
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: who are you trying to fool when we can go

891
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 3: research this stuff. I hope and pray from the basketball

892
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: gods above and God Molmighty himself, please let Lebron James

893
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: be a free agent, because I guarantee you the line

894
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 3: is not gonna be long for a forty one year

895
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 3: old over the hill on the downside of his career

896
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 3: that parks on the block and won't play a lot

897
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 3: of defense, but wants to still control your franchise and

898
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: corrupt your young players and probably make you trade assets

899
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 3: that you have to appease him. Show me where the

900
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 3: hell those owners are gonna be fighting the line of

901
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: for a forty one year old that's not a championship

902
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 3: caliber player anymore. I hope he goes into free agency,

903
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: but I agree with you. I think Jeanie's gonna crumble.

904
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 3: I think because she starstrug Bro. You saw the video

905
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: She's sitting on the bench with him, and ah, huh,

906
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: owners don't do that.

907
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: We just talked about Bomber. Bomber does it with the finger.

908
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 3: Ain't never seen Bomber like sit there like hug up

909
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 3: with players that are sitting out for the night.

910
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: Here's the fact, first sixty two years in the NBA,

911
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers going back to the Minneapolis States or in

912
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 2: the NBA finals thirty one of sixty two years exactly happen.

913
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: In the last.

914
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: Fifteen years, they've been in the finals once in seven

915
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 2: years with Lebron three times out in the first round twice.

916
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: They didn't even make the playoffs last time. A change

917
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: if you want different results. This is Fox Sports Sunday

Speaker 2: He of courses are Fox Sports, MLB analysts, NHL analysts,

943
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 2: whatever we need to talk about we will share time.

944
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: With the great John Paul Barrows SI JP.

945
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: Leading off today, I'll tell you what I want to

946
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 2: get right to it right now, because here in Los Angeles,

947
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 2: the LA Kings are looking for answers after once again

948
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 2: falling to the Edmonton Oilers. After winning the first two

949
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 2: games at home, they end up getting.

950
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: Swept four in a row.

951
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: It's only the second team and any sport ever to

952
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: lose to the same team four years in a row

953
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 2: in the first round of the playoffs. Did the Kings

954
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: sign some kind of pack with the devil after winning

955
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 2: that second Stanley Cup in twenty fourteen, Like, we'll give

956
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 2: you this, but you will never win another playoff series,

957
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 2: because the fact is they have never won another playoff

958
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: series since winning that second Stanley Cup.

959
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, good morning out in La Good

960
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 5: afternoon to those of us here in the Eastern time zone.

961
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 5: You're right, it has been a long few years for

962
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 5: the Kings in the playoffs. But I would make this

963
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 5: point that a lot of teams would lose to Connor

964
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 5: McDavid and Leon dry sidle Is.

965
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 6: I know that it's not.

966
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 5: The result of the Kings fans wanted, but those two

967
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 5: are going to Hall of Fame, and we saw. I

968
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 5: think after the first two games, McDavid and dry title

969
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 5: just simply take over that series. That there are I

970
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 5: believe some positive signs for the Kings going forward. I

971
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 5: think that Byfields took a big step this season. I'm

972
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 5: a big fan of Kempe. There's a lot of things

973
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 5: to like, and I still think Dowdy plays at a

974
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 5: very high level for the Los Angeles Kings, but they

975
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 5: are not They're not an elite team right now in

976
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 5: the Western Conference. I think the elite teams you'd have

977
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 5: to say Vegas based on what they've achieved in recent years.

978
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 5: The Oilers are elite. The Stars, I believe are elite.

979
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 5: I suppose we'll see if after tonight we can still

980
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 5: describe the President's Trophy winning Winnipeg jetson that way based

981
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 5: on the up and down play of Hellibuck in this series,

982
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 5: but I don't think it's anything much more complicated than

983
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 5: their young talent hasn't quite matured enough.

984
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 6: I am a.

985
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 5: Big Brent Clark fan. There's a lot to like again

986
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 5: about this King's team, but they're just a notch below

987
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 5: where the best of the best of the Western Conference

988
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 5: are right now, and they have the misfortune of playing

989
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 5: in the same conference as two of the all time

990
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 5: greats in McDavid and dry sidle.

991
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: My man j P. Murosi Man, how you doing, brother VJ?

992
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 6: I am outstanding.

993
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 5: The only way I'd be better is if we were

994
00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 5: reliving Game seven between the Nicks and Pistons. That's about

995
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 5: the only way I've been doing better this morning. But

996
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 5: my goodness, if I could be a proud Michigan or

997
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 5: for a moment, It's amazing how with this playoff run,

998
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 5: it's re energized basketball into four has brought back all

999
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 5: these amazing memories of the past teams. And then I

1000
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 5: think the city has fallen in love with the personality

1001
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 5: of this group. And Kate Cunningham and then Jalen Duran

1002
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 5: just a what a great two way player. And then

1003
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 5: I thought Asar Thompson did a brilliant job on Brendon.

1004
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 5: I realized, you know, it comes down to the last

1005
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 5: shot and you lose your footing in a moment like that,

1006
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 5: it's it's nobody's fault. I think Osar Thompson they would

1007
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 5: not have been in that situation without the great defense

1008
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 5: he had.

1009
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 6: Played all series long. So big believer in the Pistons.

1010
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 5: Trading Langsy great job, Bickerstaff outstanding, and I.

1011
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 6: Think the best has yet to come from these young Pistons.

1012
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: All right, so let's stick there. I was gonna go

1013
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: to Texas Ranger questioner, but I mean you're there. I'm

1014
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 3: a big Pistons fan. I've been a Pistons fan since

1015
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 3: the eighties, since the Bad Boys. Isaiah Thomas has always

1016
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: been my goal along with Kobe Bryant. Understand where everybody

1017
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 3: else's goats are, that's full, but those always been my guy.

1018
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: So I've been knee deep, waist deep in the Pistons.

1019
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: Love my entire life of love in basketball. I agree

1020
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 3: with everything that's you're saying. I had a chance to

1021
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 3: talk to Trajan Langdon when they were here playing the

1022
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 3: Lakers back in December, and he had this energy off

1023
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 3: of him of I know it's not there yet, but

1024
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 3: damn if we're not putting together something good.

1025
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: You talk about Jalen durn that.

1026
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: Showed, Okay, we got a double double, big guy here

1027
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 3: who could call some problems in the future, and he's young.

1028
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 3: Will love him to work on his hands, bubbles the ball,

1029
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 3: a little too much for me, but you can work

1030
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 3: on that in the off season through training. You mentioned

1031
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 3: k Cunningham. I called him motor Kade Cunningham because the

1032
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 3: guys just coming down the street like a motor k man.

1033
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: But he's got some things in this game too.

1034
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 3: He needs to find himself a go to bona fide

1035
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 3: move that I could go here, get a bucket anytime

1036
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 3: I want to.

1037
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,959
Speaker 4: He does not have that yet. All the other little

1038
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 4: pieces around you mentioned.

1039
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 3: We can throw those names all day, but I want

1040
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 3: to throw two names at you and tell me what

1041
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: you think. I think the Pistons this year in the

1042
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 3: off season they need to do one or two things.

1043
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 3: Either go get you a stretch four okay, maybe add

1044
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 3: another defender. And I remember Ivy was out with the injury.

1045
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: He was sixteen and seven when he got hurt. Okay,

1046
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: and then we didn't have no Isaiah Isaiah's stort. But

1047
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 3: two names I'm gonna throw at you. If the Pistons

1048
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 3: won a big swing like they want to free agent, whoa.

1049
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: Look what Trajan Lanen and the Pistons are doing. Everything

1050
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 3: needs to be broken up in Phoenix. That thing is done. No,

1051
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 3: not Kevin Durant, but I think a guy like Devin

1052
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 3: Booker could be a guy that could be trade bait.

1053
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 3: And then we also know Joe Dumars is now the

1054
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 3: VP of the New Orleans Pelicans and as a gentleman

1055
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 3: down there that I think just needs a change of scenery.

1056
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 3: It has not worked. You may be able to do

1057
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 3: some things with him. And as Zion Williams said, which

1058
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 3: one would you go? And then where am I too

1059
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 3: off on these two names? Or do you got somebody

1060
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 3: else out there that you think the Pistons need to

1061
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: go after this offseas or do you just like go

1062
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: getting stretch for in another defender?

1063
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 6: Guy Booker is the guy for me, thank you.

1064
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 5: And of course remember where he grew up right, I

1065
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 5: know one of us yep, And so I think from

1066
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 5: that perspective, I remember at numerous times in recent years

1067
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 5: I've seen him out were in a time there's he's

1068
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 5: got that connection still to his roots in Michigan, and

1069
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 5: I just think that he could probably replace I'm imagining

1070
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 5: roughly the cap hit and the and the lineup spot

1071
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 5: to what SmartWay Junior had this year. I think Hardaway

1072
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 5: was good, but they could probably upgrade a little bit

1073
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 5: on what they got from him in the playoffs. I

1074
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 5: think that Beasley, obviously he almost single handledly got them

1075
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 5: to a to a Game seven with the way that

1076
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 5: he shot in the first half of Game six. But

1077
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 5: I think Beasley for that role is good. I'm in

1078
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 5: agreement that they they missed Stewart at different times, especially

1079
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 5: when Duran got into foul trouble. They they were just

1080
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 5: too They're a little bit too short in the post

1081
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 5: I felt to be able to handle when they had

1082
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 5: to deal with both Cat and then I thought Hart

1083
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 5: played well for the Knicks. I thought an Andobt numerous

1084
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 5: times in that series was as effective as almost anybody

1085
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 5: else in the nixt and so I feel like he

1086
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 5: was a guy that Syss didn't really have an answer for.

1087
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 5: And so that's that's where I would look. I would

1088
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 5: look for maybe someone that could be a little bit

1089
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 5: more of a presence, a little more length in the

1090
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 5: in the four and then bring in Booker and hope

1091
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 5: that you have a little better health from Ivy and

1092
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 5: Stewart and you could find yourself easily playing against the

1093
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 5: Celtics in a really big series.

1094
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 6: A year from right now.

1095
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 2: I love hopscotching all over the place right now. I'm

1096
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna hopscotch over to baseball right now, and

1097
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 2: we're talking about We talked about him last week, but

1098
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 2: we have to continue to talk about Aaron Judge right

1099
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 2: now four thirty two batting average.

1100
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: In fact, right now, he has an.

1101
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 2: Eighty three point lead in the Major League batt I

1102
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 2: would doubt, as we are sitting here on May the fourth,

1103
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: be with you May fourth, that anyone has had an

1104
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: eighty three point lead over any other hitter in baseball

1105
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: in the batting average category. But that's where we are

1106
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 2: right now with Aaron Judge. I mean, what is he

1107
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: capable of by seasons? Then assume obviously helps a big

1108
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 2: part of it. With Judge, He's obviously had a lot

1109
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: of injuries over the years and maybe have held him

1110
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 2: back from all time totals. But assuming he stays healthy.

1111
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: As he did in twenty twenty two and in twenty twenty.

1112
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 2: Four, from what you've seen so far, forget those years,

1113
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 2: how far can he take it? Could he actually possibly

1114
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: sniff four hundred? Is that even possible for a guy

1115
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:28,240
Speaker 2: like Aaron Judge?

1116
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 5: I think anything is possible with Aaron Judge. There was

1117
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 5: a long time in the game where everybody thought that

1118
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 5: sixty one homers would never be passed in the American

1119
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 5: League outside of obviously the nineties, And look at what

1120
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge did just a couple of years ago. To me,

1121
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 5: you look at the context of why I believe he's

1122
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 5: got a chance. Number One, because Grisham has emerged, because

1123
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 5: they've got Bellinger, he doesn't quite have to play center

1124
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 5: field as often as he was in past years, which

1125
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 5: I think a little bit of a lesser toll on

1126
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 5: his body.

1127
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 6: So that's good.

1128
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 5: That keeps him a little pressure. And number two, he's

1129
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 5: always had a really good sense for the strike zone,

1130
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 5: but his swing decisions this year have been next level awesome.

1131
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 5: And so when you can do that kind of damage

1132
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 5: and you're almost only ever swinging a strike hit aible pitches,

1133
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 5: you are able to put together a historic season. Now,

1134
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 5: the other thing, too, you'd have to say is that

1135
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 5: he understands better than pretty much everybody else in baseball

1136
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 5: what it means to chase down history. And obviously the

1137
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 5: home run record was one piece of history. A four

1138
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 5: hundred batting average would be something else.

1139
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 6: But he's used to it.

1140
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 5: He understands how to how to handle that pressure. No

1141
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 5: one would say it in well, Aaron Judges, does no

1142
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 5: one's like to be in the spotlight. No, He's been

1143
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 5: on the spotlight every app bat he's ever taken in

1144
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 5: the Major League, and so from that perspective, he's very

1145
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 5: much at ease when it comes to pursuing history. I

1146
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 5: love the way that he's going about things this season.

1147
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 5: It is one of my favorite players to watch in

1148
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 5: the game.

1149
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 6: Clearly, to me.

1150
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 5: He is the best hitter in the sport period.

1151
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 6: There is really no argument about that.

1152
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 5: And what he's doing right now is right up there

1153
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 5: with the legends of the Yankees from any generation, whether

1154
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 5: it's Bambino, lu gerig Mantle, DiMaggio, they would all love

1155
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 5: to be in the company of Number ninety nine right now.

1156
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, JP, I'm gonna stick with baseball, and I

1157
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 3: guess I will get me a ranger question there, because

1158
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 3: Steve loves when I asked my ranger questions to you.

1159
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 3: Sure you know how I love this too. I feel

1160
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 3: the same way by my pistons since the eighties. Man

1161
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: God finally got our worldsaws two years ago. Last year,

1162
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 3: kind of a Worldsair's ain't over injuries, and then this

1163
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 3: year they come out in this pitching staff as number

1164
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: one in majors. I mean they are mowing down lineups,

1165
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 3: going six, going seven, a couple of a eight game

1166
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 3: for big Game night.

1167
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: But then you turn it.

1168
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: You look at the offense seventeenth in home runs, twenty

1169
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 3: ninth in RBIs twenty six and batting averages, and they

1170
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 3: have the people there.

1171
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: I feel like I got a pull a.

1172
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,240
Speaker 3: Pedro Serrano for Major League and go get Joe bum

1173
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 3: Rum and blow up something in the locker to get

1174
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 3: to wake up the bats. What in the hell is

1175
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: going on with the office? I know it's early, but

1176
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 3: this is unacceptable. What is going on with the office

1177
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 3: with the Texas Rangers.

1178
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 5: Well, it's a really important question, of course. Last night

1179
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 5: a very difficult to to one law right to the Mariners,

1180
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 5: who are one of the best pitching teams in Major

1181
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 5: League Baseball, They've had to rely on, I think players

1182
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 5: that weren't necessarily expected to.

1183
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 6: Lead the way.

1184
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 5: You've got Smith, who had the bat leadoff last night.

1185
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 5: He's become I think one of the more dependable guys.

1186
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 5: The still relatively young Wyatt Langford is actually having a

1187
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 5: great first half. He might be an All Star. Seeger,

1188
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 5: of course has missed some time, but he's back now.

1189
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 6: To me, the big concern is.

1190
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 5: With Josh Peterson and Marcus Semion. Those are the two

1191
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 5: guys that I think for whatever reason, And with Semeon,

1192
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 5: he's too young for me for this to be any

1193
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 5: kind of an Oh my goodness, has he.

1194
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 6: Lost the conversation.

1195
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 5: Maybe there's an adjustment that has to be made that

1196
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 5: he hasn't been able to make yet. But if we're

1197
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 5: talking about diagnosing the issue, for me, the issue is

1198
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 5: right there. And I would also say two remember what

1199
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 5: made them special when we when they were going to

1200
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 5: the World Series and winning it, It was that autolist

1201
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 5: Garcia was a dynamic player that was hitting the ball

1202
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 5: over the fence all the time.

1203
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 6: And last night, oh for four to two strikeouts, he's

1204
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 6: got in two oh seven.

1205
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 5: So I would actually probably say that those three names, Peterson, Semeon, Garcia,

1206
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 5: they need more from the third of their lineup if

1207
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 5: they're going to find a way to compete with what

1208
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 5: is right now the best team in the American League,

1209
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 5: the Seattle marit Right very much a pitching a pitching

1210
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 5: based organization and with cal Rawley behind the plate with

1211
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 5: an a level rotation, even with Logan Gilbert and George

1212
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 5: Kirby on the injured list right now, the Seattle Mariners

1213
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 5: best mark and the American League two names.

1214
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 3: You threw out there just really quick, Seeger and I'm

1215
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 3: sorry Peterson and Samon Peterson batan average zero point zero

1216
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: nine to nine and my man Marcus one seventy nine

1217
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 3: at thirty three clayed appearance games played.

1218
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 4: That's totally unacceptable.

1219
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you, all right, Well, great stuff is always.

1220
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: By the way, you mentioned.

1221
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 2: Cal Rawley, who, by the way, is the leading the

1222
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: only staff that Aaron Judge is not leading home runs

1223
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 2: run Jie Skuy's got twelve home runs already, h and

1224
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 2: the Mariner is going to try to do what they

1225
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 2: weren't able to do and get across the finish line

1226
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 2: into the postseason.

1227
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: JP.

1228
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: Was great to have you lead off today. Covering a

1229

Speaker 5: my friends, Thank you Steven VJ.

1233
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,479
Speaker 6: For the conversation. And I'm not sure that I'm a very.

1234
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 5: Good lead off hitter, but I really tried that. I

1235
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 5: appreciate the opportunity as always to talk a little hockey,

1236
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 5: hoops and baseball.

1237
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: You got on bas brother, you got an RBI, and.

1238
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 5: You gotta appreciate it.

1239
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: Ex the great job, Paul Morosi. Thanks JP.

1240
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 2: There he is all right. Coming up on the other side.

1241
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 2: We got a lot to get to. We have a

1242
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 2: Game seven today and a Game one in the NBA Playoffs,

1243
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 2: which is always an interesting combo as we're already moving

1244
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 2: on on to the second round, but some of the

1245
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 2: carnage that was left behind, Yeah, we gotta dig in

1246
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 2: and find out what's next for certain teams around the NBA.

1247

1259
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 2: In the NBA Game one of the series between the

1260
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 2: Cavaliers and the Pacers. We'll get to that a little

1261
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 2: bit later on. And of course we got the huge

1262
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: Game seven between the Warriors, who thought they had this

1263
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: series wrapped up up three games to one against the Rockets,

1264
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 2: and now they face the Game seven in Houston. So

1265
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 2: we'll get to all that, but we need to sort

1266
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 2: of look at the carnage that's been left behind him.

1267
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 2: There's plenty of it in the first round of the playoffs.

1268
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 2: And of course, the one team getting the most attention

1269
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 2: as always and really for good reason this offseason are

1270
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers after their complete meltdown in their

1271
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 2: series against the Minnesota Timberwolves that you know, before the

1272
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: series of ej most people thought I am Minnesota might

1273
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 2: give them a little problem, maybe that might win a

1274
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 2: couple of games, but you know they're all looking ahead.

1275
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 2: Minnesota dominated this series and then to hear you know,

1276
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 2: the Rob Pelinkas and the JJ Reddicks, you know, just

1277
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 2: say wow, they were a better team.

1278
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, that's funny.

1279
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: Didn't hear that before the series, but it's certainly proved

1280
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: that way. All right, the guy I want to start with,

1281
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 2: we got obviously, we got we got Luca, we got Lebron.

1282
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 2: But I have to talk about JJ Reddick for a

1283
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: second here because a year ago, Darvin Ham lost in

1284
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 2: five games in the first round to the defending NBA

1285
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 2: champion Denver Nuggets, who, by the way, had home court advantage,

1286
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 2: and he got fired, fired, fire immediately, like fired immediately,

1287
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 2: first round five games against the defending NBA champions who

1288
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 2: had the home court advantage. This year, JJ Reddick had

1289
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 2: the home court advantage, they were favored in their series

1290
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 2: against Minnesota, and I hear people like on the Lakers

1291
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 2: station and they were saying, well, even with the playoffs,

1292
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 2: as I got a great for him, f F. I mean,

1293
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean, f it goes down as one of the

1294
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 2: worst coaching jobs in a playoff series ever, ever, ever,

1295
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 2: and that cannot be overlooked. And then the way he

1296
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 2: walked up that by the way, that was my that's

1297
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 2: my friend Rashaan Haylot that asked question. Yeah, so Sewan

1298
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 2: asked him basically the question was this, did any What

1299
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:58,919
Speaker 2: he really meant to say was something along the lines of, hey,

1300
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: when you decided to play all five starters the entire

1301
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 2: second half of Game four, even when he had a

1302
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: ten point league going into the fourth quarter, did any

1303
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: of your assistant coaches like tell you, like, that's a mistake.

1304
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 2: But you know, Rashaun, he covers the team. He's around

1305
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,959
Speaker 2: the Lakers a lot. So he's like, so he's like, well,

1306
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 2: you know, if you're in a similar situation moving forward,

1307
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 2: you know how much conversation will you have with coaches?

1308
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: Is there someone to sort of lend in an opposing

1309
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 2: thought along the line?

1310
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: And JG.

1311
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: Reddick just had a complete meltdown and walks off the

1312
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 2: stage before Game five. That's when you knew this is

1313
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 2: going to be a long night as they lose at

1314
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 2: home as sold out crowd at Crypto Dot Carmon Marena.

1315
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 2: His temperament, his ego, and it's immense will not enable

1316
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick to be an elite coach in the NBA.

1317
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: I've made up my mind.

1318
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: I had doubts about him before the season, I have

1319
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 2: no doubts now. JJ Reddick will never be a successful

1320
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 2: coach in the NBA well.

1321
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 3: As a guy that was there and covered the entire series.

Speaker 3: you for having do you know what to ask him

1341
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 3: that because the local guys won't do it. I've been

1342
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 3: covering the Lakers all year long. I made it to

1343
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 3: about twenty five, twenty six games. I can't do forty one.

1344
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 3: I do other things. I I actually have a life

1345
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 3: outside of sports. But then about twenty five to thirty games.

1346
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 3: So I've been in every press, game, every pre every post,

1347
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: every single.

1348
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: One of them.

1349
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 4: And that has really been his temperament that if you ask.

1350
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 3: Him a real fair journalistic reporting question that questions how

1351
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 3: great you think you are?

1352
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 4: Because that's what this comes from.

1353
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 3: I sat right here in this exact seat, and when

1354
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 3: he got hired, I said, this is the worst pro

1355
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 3: sports coaching higher I've ever seen. He's never coached a

1356
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 3: high school team before, he's never coached an AAU team before.

1357
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: And you not only get an NBA job.

1358
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 3: You get the most prestigious franchise other than the Boston

1359
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 3: Celtics in the history of basketball, other than the Harlem

1360
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 3: glob Drids, and you get that job. What we knew

1361
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 3: was all set up, sitting there simp and wine with

1362
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 3: his good friend Lebron James, talking x's and no's, and

1363
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 3: I would do this here, and now we do this here.

1364
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Oh.

1365
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick is a is a candidate to be the

1366
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 3: Lakers coach after the man literally sat on TV and

1367
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 3: disrespected the past greatness of this league and call people

1368
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 3: plumbers like you gotta be kidding me. That pissed me

1369
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: off really bad. One because Rashan's my friend. But two,

1370
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 3: no one you someone had the guts to actually give

1371
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 3: you a fair question, and all you had to do

1372
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 3: is say, well, maybe I'll need to use her.

1373
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 4: But the way he looked at him, he goes, yeah,

1374
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 4: that's a really weird assumption. No, it's not an assumption.

1375
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 3: You didn't play anybody else in the fourth quarter of

1376
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 3: Game four.

1377
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: You ran your team ragged and dead.

1378
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 3: You kept the starters in, you didn't make any You

1379
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 3: told Dilly Smith he was a Philly Smith, he was

1380
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 3: gonna start. He never even started before three minutes before

1381
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 3: the second half. He's never started a second half all

1382
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 3: season one. These are fair questions that we get to

1383
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 3: ask you. But you know what this means, you were

1384
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 3: getting I sat up in the press box and I

1385
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 3: looked at it. One of a good friend of mine

1386
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 3: in manis perlog and I said, JJ Reddick is getting

1387
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 3: his ass out. Coach so bad, and said in Minnesota

1388
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 3: coaching staff, this looks easy to them. Oh you want

1389
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 3: to let Rudy Gobert, I tweeted, Rudy Gobert, it's not

Speaker 3: I hate to blame coaches, I really do, because coaches

1403
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 3: don't play. They don't block, they don't pass, they don't shoot,

1404
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 3: they don't dunk, they don't hit, they don't feel.

1405
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Coaches don't do none of that.

1406
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 3: But you know what they do do They drop the

1407
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 3: x's and nose to prepare those guys that go do

1408
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 3: all those adjectives I just named, and it just seemed

1409
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 3: like he was just and the postgame was even worse. Oh,

1410
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 3: we're gonna get to the post host.

1414
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 2: grave for himself, a coaching grave. And we'll explain how

1415
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 2: it's gonna affect the future of both Lebron and Luca.

1416
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: But first.

01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 8: that's what they don't think that there's not.

1428
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Did you see Game six and into it? Don't that

1429
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: play that it was the all?

1430
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 3: But we're gonna make sure that we We're gonna make

1431
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 3: sure we hit this other team up in the city today.

1432
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 2: What he should have done, I guess see what he

1433
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 2: paid all expenses for like one hundred people from the wall,

1434
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 2: twenty people, uh and so and see to them strategically.

1435
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:44,439
Speaker 1: I mean, when you have all the money in the world,

1436
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to do.

1437
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 8: I would. And the fact that owners have it and

1438
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 8: none of them do it, so.

1439
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 2: They don't have I got he's just he could buy

1440
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 2: the whole league understand that.

1441
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Uh he is. I love that guy because he's all in.

1442
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: He's all in. That's what you want.

1443
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 2: When's going to do whatever it takes to give it

1444
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 2: a chance to win. They were up five at the

1445
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 2: end of the first quarter and then.

1446
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, no, I saw it.

1447
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: I mean, only one of the things you have to

1448
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 2: say is I mean Denver just was not missing.

1449
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 8: That that was true.

1450
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to.

1451
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 9: Do six to start the game, and that's how we

1452
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 9: were up by five because we had a lot of

1453
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 9: terrible possessions. We weren't protecting the ball, we weren't hustling,

1454
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 9: there was no effort. And you know, if you want

1455
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 9: to hear more, you're gonna have to tune into me

1456
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 9: and carry roads later today because we're going to absolutely let.

1457
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: It off it.

1458
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 8: But it was it was a sa embarrassing pardon embarrassing,

1459
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 8: it was.

1460
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 1: I thought. I thought Tylub postgame said it right.

1461
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 2: I mean, he said, I really feel bad for these

1462
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 2: guys that the season has to end. Like that because

1463
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 2: the effort to get here and everything else they did

1464
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 2: when he eighteen of the last twenty one to get

1465
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,040
Speaker 2: there and for it to end like that.

1466
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 9: How you lose matters, no doubt, absolutely, how.

1467
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 4: You lose matters can get a shot off.

1468

Speaker 8: that pass.

1470
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, end on not even not even an opportunity to

01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 8: That was heartbreak.

1473
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 9: I would rather lose that way than be blown out

1474
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 9: in a game seven because of lack of effort and

1475
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,280

1516
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 8: Has been said. He's talking. Apparently, progress seems.

1517
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 9: To be going in the right direction for that gentleman.

1518

Speaker 9: he is seven shots ahead of the next guys.

1522
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, he had an eight shot league going in

1523
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: the final round.

1524
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 2: Last time a player had an eight shot league going

1525
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 2: in the final round was Rory McElroy at the US Open.

1526
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Oh wow, way back in the day in twenty eleven.

1527
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: So eight shot lead, he'll be coasting. By the way,

1528
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 1: this will be his first win of the season.

1529
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 8: I know, I know.

1530
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: There you go. So many has spotted number one in golf.

1531
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 3: Mont's a quick question for you mentioned to Jimmy Butler.

1532
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 3: I've always had this thing about Jimmy Butler that I

1533
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 3: think he's a really good player. I just never saw

1534
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 3: him as a number one for your team to win

1535
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 3: a championship. And I know there's this playoff Jimmy like

1536
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 3: playoff Paul right, like playoff PG which never really critialize,

1537
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 3: but I loved them something the other day. His postseason

1538
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 3: career numbers are twenty one, six and four. Yeah, how

1539
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 3: are you playoff somebody at twenty one six and four

1540
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 3: and you're the man up until now at g State,

1541
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:10,919
Speaker 3: you've been to man Bro.

1542
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 4: But this idea, I just think that it kind of

1543
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 4: got out. I mean just went with it.

1544
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 2: Okay, he got He got Miami to the finals twice. Yeah,

1545
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 2: you know, once in the bubble when very few teams

1546
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 2: wanted to be in the bubbles, and then obviously the

1547
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 2: miracle when they take out the Celtics to get to

1548
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 2: the final a couple of years ago.

1549
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what happens.

1550
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,680
Speaker 2: This is why everything is amplified when you get to

1551
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 2: a World Series or get to the super Bowl or

1552
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 2: get to I.

1553
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Mean all this.

1554
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 2: You know, Jalen Hurts went from like just another quarterback

1555
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 2: to oh he's one of the all time legends because

1556
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 2: he won a Super Bowl.

1557
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 4: Well he won Super Bowl. Super MVP is not a legend,

1558
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 4: but he checks the two boxes.

1559
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: Joys Blacker was the Super Bowl MVP, So I mean,

1560
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: and he checked to it the boxes that we judge

1561
01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: quis but.

1562
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't suddenly take it to the stretch.

1563
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:56,160
Speaker 2: And that's your point. In other words, we're over overrating

1564
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 2: the star power of Jimmy Butler. But I do believe,

1565
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought this until the last couple of

1566
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 2: games that Jimmy Butler is a huge difference maker for

1567
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Steph Curry because look at Curry. Since Jimmy Butler joined

1568
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 2: the Warriors, how much better his game has been.

1569
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: All Right, well, montse, thank you very much.

1570
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 4: I just I hit it about Jimmy Butler, like like

1571
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 4: that really good player.

1572
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to find out today.

1573
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 2: We'll find out will yeah yeah game sevens or swears

1574
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 2: on the road to all right, Harbin and Husky Here

1575
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:26,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday. We are in the Fox Sports radio studios.

1576
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 2: All right, we're trying to look through the carnage that

1577
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 2: is the Lakers.

1578
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to move on to Luca and.

1579
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 2: We've talked about the post gun press conference in some

1580
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 2: of the comments made by his coach JJ Reddick, who,

1581
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 2: by the way, even though he said I expect to

1582
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 2: get better as a coach. He didn't actually take any

1583
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 2: direct blame for anything, by the way, Phil Jackson didn't,

1584
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 2: but he had a resume behind it. You know, you

1585
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 2: don't have to take blame when you've won, you know,

1586
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 2: double digit NBA titles, when you've done nothing as a

1587
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 2: rookie coach and have just engineered one of the worst

1588
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 2: coaching meltdowns in NBA playoff history.

1589
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: To then turn.

1590
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 2: Around and not even I mean, if you're going to

1591
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 2: call out the championship conditioning needed by certain players, just

1592
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 2: say his name. I mean, to me, it's even worse

1593
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 2: if he had just said, look, Luka Doncic is a

1594
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 2: great talent, but if we're gonna win a championship, we

1595
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 2: need to get him in better shape because we need

1596
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 2: him to play an entire season and be able from

1597
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 2: a conditioning standpoint to carry us to the playoffs. Instead,

1598
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 2: he did one of those yeah, well, you know, some

1599
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 2: guys in the team are in championship shape and some aren't.

1600
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: Well, who the hell you think you're talking about? So

1601
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: now you're Luka Doncic.

1602
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 2: I would love to be Luca dot because you know,

1603
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 2: in front of the cameras Luca's very complimentary about JJ

1604
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: Reddick and you know Lake and everything else. He hadn't

1605
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: signed on the dotted line yet. But if I'm Luca

1606
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 2: right now, I'm sitting there with with Rob pol Lincoln

1607
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 2: saying all right, what.

1608
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: Is your game plan? Round? What is your game plan?

1609
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 2: I am the future of your franchise if I decide

1610
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 2: to stay with your franchise. So I got to make

1611
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 2: a lot of big decisions. I'm only twenty six years old.

1612
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 2: I've already had a coach calling me out, people talking

1613
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 2: about my conditioning.

1614
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: That's what the last franchise did to me. So what

1615
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: is your plan?

1616
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 2: Tell me your game plan, because I want to win

1617
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 2: a championship. I don't care what uniform I'm worrying. If

1618
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 2: you can't put together a championship caliber team around me,

1619
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 2: then maybe I.

1620
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Should take my services elsewhere.

1621
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 2: So that's where we are right now, with Luca only

1622
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,799
Speaker 2: amplified again by just again JJ Reddick.

1623
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: He needs to keep his mouth shut.

1624
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 3: Listen, I've enjoyed Lucas since he's been there. I think

1625
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 3: Lucas changed this franchise. I've been open and saying this

1626
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,799
Speaker 3: is not Lebron James' franchise is not Lebron James's team anymore.

1627
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 3: This is Luca's team, but you can still feel the

1628
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 3: Lebron effect. There's not a more passive, aggressive, cryptic guy

1629
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,719
Speaker 3: in all of American sports and the history of American

1630
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 3: sports than Lebron James. And now you can see's rubbed

1631
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 3: off on his coat because Phil Jackson called out Shaq,

1632
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 3: Phil Jackson called out Scottie Pippen, Phil Jackson called out

1633
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 3: Dennis Ramin. Phil Jackson called out Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant

1634
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 3: got eliminated. They lost by twenty six, the biggest close

1635
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 3: out game finals.

1636
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: A deficit ever.

1637
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 3: And when he said at the podium, he said, we

1638
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 3: need to get tougher. Yea, we need to get they

1639
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 3: and it starts with me, but yeah, pal buying them,

1640
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 3: owe them. He said that you could go YouTube the

1641
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 3: video guse he named. Everybody goes we all do we

1642
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 3: gotta get tougher. That's what leaders do. Leaders say, Hey,

Speaker 3: watch me do it. Bosses and dictators go, you go

01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,280

01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 3: Real leaders will show you, Hey, let me show you

Speaker 4: Let me show you. Watch me, and I'll show you.

1652
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 3: The Lakers don't have that right now, the Lakers have

1653
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 3: I'm Lebron and I got my coach, JJ Reddick. We're

1654
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 3: kind of one and the same. We know, guys from

1655
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 3: Duke can be a little that's nothing new. And from

1656
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 3: the Duke basketball program they're head coach is one of

1657
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,719
Speaker 3: the smuggest head coaches ever in American professional sports.

1658
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: And JJ Reddick played for him.

1659
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 3: And when I sat and heard that, if you could

1660
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:16,600
Speaker 3: see the eyes in the room, like, bro, who you

1661
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 3: want you?

1662
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 7: Just?

1663
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: Who are you talking about? But who's been carrying this

1664
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,719
Speaker 1: team the last two months? Was it been Lebron?

1665
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 8: Oh?

1666
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 4: Has it been the ill conditioned Luca?

1667
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 3: This guy's been dropping thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine,

1668
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 3: forty five, forty one, forty three, thirty What are you?

1669
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: What are you? Who are you talking to? And if

1670
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: that's the case, isn't that on you? Guys? Isn't that

1671
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 1: on you?

1672
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 3: Guys that have a conditioning program together and be able

1673
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 3: to condition your athletes. You can't wait for all these

1674
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 3: guys to just go do it on their own, because

1675
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 3: if you do that, half of them are gonna do it.

1676
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 3: You have to be like, Okay, this is our tenor

1677
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 3: ay for the off season. So we're gonna train it

1678
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 3: five thirty and then we're gonna train it a nine o'clock

1679
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 3: doing it and you must beat then just do it

1680
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 3: that way. But to sit up there and say championship,

1681
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 3: what would that? What the hell would you know about

1682
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 3: NBA championship?

1683
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 1: Condition it? You never played in the NBA finals. Get

1684
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 1: out of here, Bro leave listen.

1685
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 3: I'm defending Luca because Luca's been Like I said, this

1686
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 3: is not a bragtum, just being I've been there. I'm

1687
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 3: watching this man literally really carry his team the last

1688
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 3: two months and into these playoffs and then the back

1689
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 3: and then Lebron we'll talk about.

1690
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 2: That well, and but let me just say this, yeah,

1691
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 2: you know, and then there's Lebron.

1692
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: We won't give you the truth of his future.

1693
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin, bj Husky Here,

1694
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio

1695
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,919
Speaker 2: studios talking some carnage after the first round of the playoffs.

1696
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 2: Although technically we still have a Game seven today between

1697
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 2: the Warriors and the Rockets. Who thought that was gonna happen.

1698
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: We'll have more on that game a little bit later on,

1699
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 2: but we're talking about the Lakers right now. We've talked

1700
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 2: about JJ, We've talked about Luca Ounce. Time to talk

1701
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 2: about Lebron and as usual, and you use the word cryptic,

1702
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 2: it's it's very accurate when we talk about Lebron James.

1703
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: After the game, I couldn't believe the one question somebody

1704
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 2: asked this question seriously after the game, So where would

1705
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 2: you rate playing with your son this year?

1706
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: It's all time?

1707
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 2: Who I mean, who is asking that question after you

1708
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 2: just choked off a Game five at home? But somebody

1709
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 2: is like, so where would it rate you playing with

1710
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 2: Browny this year? And immediately He's like, It's the greatest

1711
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 2: moment I've had in sports. It out does anything I've

1712
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 2: ever done individually playing with my son. So we've been

1713
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 2: down this path before with Lebron James, where he hems

1714
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 2: and hawes about his future with the team, and usually

1715
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 2: especially in a contract year. Remember he as a player

1716
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 2: option for fifty two million plus. He wants a new

1717
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 2: deal or a much better option. I think for him,

1718
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 2: if he's serious about playing for another championship team and

1719
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 2: a much better deal for the Lakers, they try to

1720
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 2: load that fifty two million dollars from their payroll, he

1721
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 2: needs to turn the page here.

1722
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to me.

1723
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 2: The best options for Lebron are not trying to force

1724
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,959
Speaker 2: the Lakers to give him a new deal, new extended

1725
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 2: deal for more money that would further cripple this team

1726
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 2: from ever getting to where they should be, and opt

1727
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 2: out of the deal. Be a free agent. Look around, hey, Cleveland,

1728
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 2: my old team. Do you want helping hand. I'll throw

1729
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 2: my hat in the ring, or you know, joining his

1730
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 2: buddies up there at Golden State are doing something along

1731
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 2: the lines, or even better than that, how about just

1732
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 2: retiring while you're still an elite player. You know you've

1733
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,680
Speaker 2: already broken all the records. You just said you had

1734
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 2: your greatest moment in basketball by playing with your son.

1735
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 2: That's that's done. That was the final check on the box.

1736
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 2: I just I look at this right now. I've been

1737
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 2: maintaining we have seen his last game of the Lakers.

1738
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna maintain that. But when I'm hearing him

1739
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 2: repeat things that he has said in the past that

1740
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 2: led up to forcing the Lakers to redo his deal

1741
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 2: and extending his deal, that may see a little bit

1742
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:05,839
Speaker 2: nervous right now. And by the way, if the Lakers

1743
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:09,599
Speaker 2: do do that, no chance of winning a championships because

1744
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 2: they will have no money necessary to bring in a

1745
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 2: big man of consequence on this rush.

1746
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they try to do with Alex Lennon. And I

1747
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 3: laughed at that sign and I got called a hater. Yeah,

1748
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 3: I laugh, I laughed. All I did was post a

1749
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 3: story and then like thirty laugh emojis on my Twitter

1750
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 3: and everybody's like, you're hating it.

1751
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, how much did Alex Lynn play?

1752
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:27,759
Speaker 1: Guys?

1753
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 4: All the people that called VJ hater?

1754
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, by the way, no, did you see what

1755
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 2: Polanka was asked about Lennon.

1756
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 1: He goes, well, the coach decides on who plays.

1757
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no accountability. And that's one of my pet

1758
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 3: peas man, is people that are unaccountable.

1759
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 4: I can't stand them kind of people.

1760
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 7: Stay there.

1761
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 3: You know what, away from VJ. If you do know

1762
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 3: how to know how to look in the mirror and

1763
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 3: be accountable. All right, so does Lebron James that. You

1764
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 3: know what, I hope he does. You know what I

1765
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 3: hope happens. I'm gonna be very cynical right here. Say

1766
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 3: make sure you listen, O baby, this this is not

1767
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 3: for you, but I know you'll love this.

1768
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 4: I hope Lebron goes into free agent.

1769
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: I hope he does.

1770
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 3: I hope he goes in a free agency. I would

1771
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 3: love to see it because then maybe everybody that are

1772
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 3: out in the world, and all the clutch cronies and

1773
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 3: all the Lebron fanboys who were will understand you.

1774
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:13,799
Speaker 1: Guys, did you just used the word elite?

1775
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 6: No?

1776
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: The hell's no, the hell he's not. He's not an

1777
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: elite player anymore. He's a player.

1778
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 3: He's a layup merchant and a jump shooter. Now off

1779
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 3: and on with no real basketball back, where's Lebron's moves

1780
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 3: at anymore?

1781
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 1: The dog put the tape on.

1782
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 3: It's either I'm gonna just put my head and drive,

1783
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 3: or if my jumper's fall out.

1784
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: I even admit it last week.

1785
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 3: When this jumper's falling, he's hard as hell to guard

1786
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 3: because he's gonna get the call if he if he drops.

1787
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 3: He was fifteen or eighteen from the free throw line

1788
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 3: two games ago, so he's still getting calls for a

1789
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 3: guy that said I don't get no calls, And then

1790
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 3: people were posting, actually, you're fourth in the league at

1791
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 3: free throw at causing free throw tenpts. Brother, like, like,

1792
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 3: who are you trying to fool when we can go

1793
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 3: research this stuff. I hope and pray from the basketball

1794
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 3: gods above and God Molmighty himself, please let Lebron James

1795
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 3: be a free agent, because I guarantee you the line

1796
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 3: is not gonna be long for a forty one year

1797
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 3: old over the hill on the downside of his career

1798
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 3: that parks on the block and won't play a lot

1799
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 3: of defense, but wants to still control your franchise and

1800
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 3: corrupt your young players and probably make you trade assets

1801
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 3: that you have to appease him. Show me where the

1802
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 3: hell those owners are gonna be fighting the lineup for

1803
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 3: a forty one year old that's not a championship caliber

1804
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 3: player anymore. I hope he goes into free agency, but

1805
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,600
Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think Jeanie's gonna crumble. I

1806
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 3: think because she starts struggle. Bro, you saw the video,

1807
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 3: she's sitting on the bench with him and all hun

1808
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 3: owners don't do that.

1809
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: We just talked about Bomber. Bomber does it with the finger.

1810
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 3: You ain't never seen Bomber like sit there like hug

1811
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 3: up with players that are sitting out for the night.

1812
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:51,799
Speaker 1: Here's the fact.

1813
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 2: First sixty two years in the NBA, the Lakers going

1814
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 2: back to the Minneapolis States where in the NBA Finals

1815
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 2: thirty one of sixty two years. Exactly happy the been

1816
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 2: in the last fifteen years, They've been in the finals

1817
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 2: once in seven years with Lebron three times out in

1818
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: the first round. Twice they didn't even make the playoffs.

1819
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 2: Time a change if you want different results. This is

1820
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday.

1824
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 2: right now. This is the thing about Hartman and Husky.

1825
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 2: The conversation never.

1826
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: Ends, never ends, never stop. Just so interrupted by doing

1827
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 1: a radio show for right, we got another guy. We

1828

Speaker 1: were talking. Okay, we're talking, and he's we're going.

1829
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 2: Back and forth a big time here and now we're

1830
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 2: going to share some of that with you is once

1831
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 2: again we're here at the Fox Sports Radio studios. I

1832
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 2: guess we're gonna have tip off here finally of a

1833
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:58,640
Speaker 2: basketball game. We got the Pacers and the Cavaliers.

1834
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: Two o'clock. I think three, What do you think about that? Game? Seven? Man?

1835
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 1: That's is this? Well? This is first of all, how

1836
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: do we get here? I mean the Warriors.

1837
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 2: The Warriors after they won Game four celebrated it was done.

1838
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: They celebrated on the court like they had just won

1839
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: the series.

1840
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 2: And so before Game six, so they go back to Houston,

1841
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 2: Houston wins, Okay, now they're going to wrap it up

1842
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 2: Game six. So I'm sitting at my TV studios and

1843
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 2: one of our producers, who's, you know, usually laying a

1844
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 2: few bucks down in games, He goes, what do you

1845
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 2: think of the game tonight?

1846
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: I go, I don't.

1847
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 2: I have a I don't have a great feeling about

1848
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:40,559
Speaker 2: the Warriors in this game.

1849
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 1: And I wasn't gonna say, yeah, they're going to lose.

1850
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 2: They did not play well, they didn't play inspired home court,

1851
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 2: and you're gonna lose the young Rockets team. And now

1852
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 2: you're going to assume what Golden State's gonna go into Houston.

1853
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 2: Now Rockets have all the momentum. No one thinks they're

1854
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 2: gonna win.

1855
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: Still, I guess, and where does that put the let's

1856
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: put it this one. Let me give you another one

1857
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: of those you know what ifs. So what if the

1858
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 1: Warriors lose?

1859
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 3: Well, that was the question I text you this morning.

1860
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 3: If I I and I like, I likes you guys this,

1861
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 3: if you're allowed me, let me get a question.

1862
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 4: Then if the Wars lose this game today.

1863
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: And I've been on.

1864
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 3: Record of saying I thought there were three superstars that

1865
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 3: are at the end they will never win championships. Again,

1866
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 3: I've been saying this for about two years now. Those

1867
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 3: three superstars are Lebron James, Kevin Durant.

1868
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 1: And Steph Curry distant three.

1869
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 3: These are the three guys though of that era from there,

1870
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 3: from the early to mid two thousand draft classes, stuff

1871
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 3: like four to six oh seven, those draft classes. These

1872
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 3: are the last guys. These are these are the last ones.

1873
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 3: The rest of the we are retired. Yeah, you know,

1874
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 3: these guys are winning more championship now we're on the end.

1875
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 3: K Cunningham SGA. These new young stars that have shown

1876
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 3: up in the league winby when he gets healthy and

1877
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 3: saying Curry changed the league, and yeah.

1878
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know her.

1879
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 3: Curry changed the league. But this, this feels like his

1880
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 3: last shot. That's why they went and got Jimmy Butler

1881
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 3: to trade that line. This feels like his last shot.

1882
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 3: If they go home in seven in the first round,

1883
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 3: and listen, you can always say, well, dude, there were

1884
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 3: a seven they were supposed to lose to it two.

1885
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean right, that's the way you're up three to

1886
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: one in any series.

1887
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 10: Ye fine, so post you have Doc Rivers as a coach,

1888
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 10: well exactly if you if you got dok as a coach,

1889
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 10: but also he did three. Houston is two and a

1890
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 10: half point favorite. So the Vegas Vegas things is close

1891
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 10: and they picked them. But if the Warriors lose today,

1892
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 10: can do we shut the door or never seeing this

1893
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 10: franchise that they've already got, they've already gone.

1894
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: They thought the door was shut before the twenty two Championship.

1895
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: I came out of nowhere. Do you remember how bad

1896
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: they were?

1897
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 2: Clay Thompson was heard, and all of a sudden they

1898
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 2: were one of the worst teams in the league, and

1899
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 2: that nobody predicted in twenty two that they were going

1900
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 2: to win that champion, Steph.

1901
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: You could see those Steph did that. Clay came back

1902
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: from his injury and they weren't inspired.

1903
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 3: That was the only championship Steph cried. Steph never cries

1904
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 3: at the championship, but that one of the four. He

1905
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 3: started crying on the court when it Boston, when they

1906
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 3: could see when they they consensed that it was happening.

1907
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: But they had other guys contribute that year.

1908
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they had other guys contribute that year,

1909
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 3: but Steph carried him in the finals, not.

1910
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 1: To mention final finals MVP. Yeah, exactly, Well what I'm

1911
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: happy for he didn't.

1912
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 7: He didn't.

1913
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 3: I mean he I thought he did the Dwayne Wade

1914
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 3: move where it's like, Okay, you need this more than

1915
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 3: I do. I've won. Look, but the smart leader of me,

1916
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 3: I'm still the guys still. But it was never Kevin

1917
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 3: Durant's franchise. It was never Kevin Durant's team. But Kevin

1918
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 3: Durant was the guy that needed it the most. He

1919
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 3: needed to win rings, he needed to win finals.

1920
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 2: He's but again, when you say last opportunity going into

1921
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 2: these playoffs, did you actually believe the Warriors were a serious.

1922
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 3: Contender to Literally when you're twenty four and when you're

1923
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it was twenty five and four since acquiring

1924
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler, seeing them twice at Crypto over the last show.

1925
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean mostly what we're seeing with this team is

1926
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: no different than the Clippers. Well, think about it.

1927
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you had everybody healthy, you have everybody coming back.

1928
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 2: I mean Butler did have the injury, but he came

1929
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,560
Speaker 2: back fine. Yeah, and they got momentum going at the

1930
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 2: end of the season. All of a sudden, Yeah, I

1931
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 2: thought the Clippers get derailed.

1932
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 3: You and Monsei both believed that Houston was gonna be

1933
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 3: a better first round max up matchup for the Clippers

1934
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 3: than the Nuggets. Correct, you're a two seed in the West, right, No,

1935
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 3: but you guys thought that, No, you want Houston.

1936
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 4: You want to go play Houston. So why would and

1937
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 4: I think the Warriors would.

1938
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 1: Have a shot.

1939
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 2: I think most people, again we were talking about this

1940
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 2: on the on the Western Conference side. Why was there

1941
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 2: so a lack of respect for both Okase and Houston

1942
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 2: is the top two seeds in the conference because they

1943
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 2: didn't have the veterans like the Clippers, like the Nuggets,

1944
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 2: like the Lakers.

1945
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Like the Warriors. I mean, these teams have got names

1946
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 1: we've been talking about for years.

1947
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 4: They they don't have the talking point.

1948
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: No, I think the.

1949
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 2: Warriors situation, I didn't. I mean the Warriors very similar

1950
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 2: to the Lakers, very similar to the Clippers. When you

1951
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 2: have longtime veteran players. So when you say last chance opportunity,

1952
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,759
Speaker 2: it's hard for me to gauge these days about athletes,

1953
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 2: like how much gas is left in the tank.

1954
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: James Harding had his best year in four years, would

1955
01:25:59,040 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 1: you agree?

1956
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 2: And four in the last four years? Four years, I

1957
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 2: mean since his hey day in Houston. He certainly didn't

1958
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 2: play like this in Philadelphia. Remember he had a couple

1959
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 2: of playoff games that were decent, but he played. He

1960
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: really carried this team. He helped develop Zubots into the

1961
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 2: player he has become, and he really carried this team

1962
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 2: until Kawhi came back.

1963
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 3: That's a blond answer for me, because I just don't

1964
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 3: want to throw an answer. I would have to go

1965
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 3: back and really analyze the last four years.

1966
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: It was a fan, but it wasn't.

1967
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,599
Speaker 3: It wasn't a year that made me look at any

1968
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 3: point this year and go, wow, look what James Harden's doing,

1969
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 3: because I've seen James Harden.

1970
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 5: Do more.

1971
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Success. Same thing with the Russell Westbrook. Does it diminish

1972
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:41,839
Speaker 1: their stature.

1973
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 3: It doesn't diminish, but it does have to be put

1974
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 3: into the conversation. It has to be put into the

1975
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 3: narrative that you never got to a finals, you know,

1976
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 3: like Reggie Miller.

1977
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: I love Reggie Miller, but guess what you never did not.

1978
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 11: The championship, you never even played for one, You never

1979
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 11: got No Indiana got to the one final, Lakers, Indiana

1980
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 11: got one to one and like Barkley like got to

1981
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 11: one's like you know, but guys that guys that haven't

1982
01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 11: gotten like Harden and Westbrook, those two guys, I mean

1983
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 11: I would I would take Westbrook's career over Harden's career.

1984
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:14,639
Speaker 3: Because of the like triple, the triple time shills MVP,

1985
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 3: like you know, I probably would. I probably would take

1986
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 3: I probably, yeah, but he didn't have the triple double.

1987
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 3: Hard to have the triple double. Scoring titles though aren't hard.

1988
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:25,840
Speaker 3: But I think I would take probably Russ's career. But

1989
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,680
Speaker 3: I do think when it's all said and done, we

1990
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 3: do sit back and we look back and we go, hey, man, like,

1991
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 3: this is last week. What did I tell you about

1992
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:35,639
Speaker 3: about and Edwards? I thought that whoever one Game three

1993
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 3: was gonna win that series. And we sat in here

1994
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 3: last Saturday, last time, I said, listen, you know what

1995
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 3: Minnesota could show me in game five. If you're really

1996
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,719
Speaker 3: that new team coming up, if you're really that squad

1997
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 3: coming up, you finished the Lakers in five, you don't

1998
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 3: go back because you know you could go back to home. No,

1999
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 3: you don't do it that way. If you got him down,

2000
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 3: you kick the you know what out of him. And

2001
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 3: the analogy that I was using with security people and

2002
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 3: other journalists at the game the other night was remember

2003
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 3: the year the stopped the Lakers three peet run? And

2004
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 3: it was the Spurs. And where'd they do it at?

2005
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 3: They did it in crypto? And I know you remember

2006
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 3: play you have a brain like mine. There was a

2007
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:11,400
Speaker 3: play where Bowen took a shot, Duncan got the rebound,

2008
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 3: punk fake orient shack up, and then went up and

2009
01:28:14,439 --> 01:28:16,639
Speaker 3: dunked it, which made it a twenty two point lead.

2010
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 3: And that's right there is when you start to see

2011
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 3: the tears coming down Kobe's face. The tears coming and

2012
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 3: it was like, holy you know what. So ninety nine

2013
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 3: just wasn't a fluke. This is the next you can

2014
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 3: tell you and that's the next young star.

2015
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Tim dunk that dude, you know what. The Laker answer

2016
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 1: was with the Spurs d fish point four. Next year,

2017
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: tell you let's run off the court.

2018
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was that was Antonny lost to my

2019
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 3: Pistols in the finals. But that's the example that I'm using,

2020
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,680
Speaker 3: is when you're that next young team coming up, like

2021
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 3: you gotta get certain games.

2022
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 2: Well, this is what we talk about with why we

2023
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 2: were down playing OKC. I mean, we still don't know

2024
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 2: about OKAC, Say, nobody living into a conference finals, but

2025
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 2: that's one.

2026
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: We don't know about Cleveland. We don't know about Oka.

2027
01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 6: See.

2028
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 2: I mean, but this was the Chicago Bulls. For years

2029
01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 2: with Michael Jordan, they couldn't get past the Pistons. He

2030
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,759
Speaker 2: didn't want a championship till his seventh year in the league,

2031
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 2: never got to the finals until his seventh year, seventh year,

2032
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 2: seventh year in the U nineteen ninety one, seventh year

2033
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 2: in the league, that he gets to his first NBA

2034
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 2: finals and wins it. Remember how they lost to the

2035
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 2: Lakers on their home court in Game one. I'll never

2036
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 2: get like Perkins. I mean, yeahs obviously, magine unfortunately Lakers got.

2037
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 1: Banged up in that series and everything. But Golden State.

2038
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,800
Speaker 3: I just I think if it ends the night, Listen,

2039
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 3: I'm picking Golden State to win. Let's just get that

2040
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 3: out State him to win this game tonight. I think, yes, yes,

2041
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 3: because I'm putting it on my guy this listen. Listen, man,

2042
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 3: if you want to know, do you have to admit if.

2043
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 2: They're going to win this game, then the guy that

2044
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:51,280
Speaker 2: you're sort of saying that his status is over and

2045
01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:53,879
Speaker 2: played at Jimmy Butler, He's gonna step.

2046
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 1: But Steph has got to be the guy. They got

2047
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: to do him.

2048
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 3: But I need Stephanie's thirty five brood Jimmy once again,

2049
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 3: Jimmy is a really good player, Guys, I just never

2050
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,639
Speaker 3: seen him be the guy that just really is your one.

2051
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:07,640
Speaker 1: Okay, what if he comes up with what if he

2052
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 1: is the guy tonight for Golden.

2053
01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:11,600
Speaker 3: State and it's not step The winning game is not

2054
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 3: gonna change my opinion about that.

2055
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: It just means, hey, you did what the hell you deal?

2056
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 1: What the hell they went and got you for him.

2057
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 2: Are you are you ready for Cleveland Oklahoma City NBA Finals?

2058
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

2059
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 3: If you watch both those teams play, it's gonna be

2060
01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 3: it would be auld the two best teams, great finals.

2061
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 3: It would be a great finals if you if you're

2062
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 3: a real sports fan and you get away from all

2063
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:31,640
Speaker 3: the flip flam and fluff of names and narratives and

2064
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 3: talking about by the way, six and seven seeds all

2065
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,439
Speaker 3: damn year long, that's gonna be a great final.

2066
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna go old school, like Okay, go old

2067
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 2: school when people talk about the Cleveland and Oklahoma City

2068
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,679
Speaker 2: would be a ratings disaster. The nineteen ninety one World

2069
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 2: Series was between the Braves and the Twins. We would

2070
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 2: both finish in last place the year before nothing zero.

2071
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,680
Speaker 2: This was an anonymous team. Maddox was even with the

2072
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 2: Braids at the time. They had you know, they had

2073
01:30:57,880 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Glavin who was a nobody at that time. They had

2074
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 2: small nobody at the Kirby Well. It was and the Twins,

2075
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,680
Speaker 2: and the Twins had won four years before, but it

2076
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 2: was like a fluke still to this day, the highest

2077
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 2: rated World Series in history. You know why because it

2078
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 2: was a great World Series. The home team won every

2079
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:19,680
Speaker 2: single game comes down to one nothing, you.

2080
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:21,240
Speaker 1: Know, unbelievable.

2081
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 2: We'll see sorrow night Jack Morris going against Smoltz in

2082
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:30,719
Speaker 2: that game seven, So that could be it. I I hope,

2083
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 2: I really would love to see that happen where you

2084
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,400
Speaker 2: get the Calves and you get Oklahoma City Thunder.

2085
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:38,640
Speaker 1: One team won sixty eight games, the other team won

2086
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 1: sixty three games, and they go toe to toe and

2087
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 1: all of.

2088
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,519
Speaker 2: A sudden, you know who these guys are, and suddenly

2089
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:46,840
Speaker 2: Shay Gills is Alexander's star power.

2090
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:49,560
Speaker 1: You like, you see the name, you recognize it.

2091
01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 2: Have I really seen this guy? And he goes off

2092
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 2: for thirty five every single night? And then you see

2093
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 2: the All Star due on the back court for the Calves.

2094
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 2: Mobley's a big man, unbelievable bench that the Calves have.

2095
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:04,559
Speaker 2: That would be phenomenal for the NBA because it would

2096
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:07,799
Speaker 2: be fresh air. We don't have to lean on Lebron

2097
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:11,200
Speaker 2: and Steph in the same old tired names.

2098
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,600
Speaker 1: They need to turn the page. And this is the

2099
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:18,799
Speaker 1: golden opportunity this year for the NBA to turn the page,

2100
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 1: get some new life in this league.

2101
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:24,599
Speaker 3: Not quite Oka. See Okay, we can pound on ok see.

2102
01:32:24,680 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 3: We both want them there. Give me Boston though, because

2103
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 3: I said yes, yes, yes, because I believe the champion

2104
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:33,240
Speaker 3: should like not not give it to them right, not

2105
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:34,960
Speaker 3: walk up to the finals, but get there.

2106
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 4: I need to see the champion defend. I need to

2107
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:39,759
Speaker 4: see the champion defend.

2108
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I do.

2109
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 1: I need to see the champion champion knocked out early.

2110
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,639
Speaker 3: Like, think about it. When the Bucks won the championship, guys,

2111
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,560
Speaker 3: and they got knocked out early, we don't respect that

2112
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 3: Bucks championship. When the Nuggets won the championship and they.

2113
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 2: Got knocked I guess what the same thing's gonna happen.

2114
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 2: Look at the Celtics. The Sas were a choke.

2115
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 1: Job in the playoffs until they finally broke through last year.

2116
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Now we hear him.

2117
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 2: They seed in the Eastern Coffee got you don't go

2118
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 2: back and defend it game seven and home to the

2119
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:07,519
Speaker 2: Miami Heat.

2120
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,519
Speaker 1: I need, okay, see in the Boston Celtics because you

2121
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 1: still have cravel and blow them out of the building.

2122
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:18,240
Speaker 1: They won't though, why the court advantage they won that

2123
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Boston this year?

2124
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 3: The regular season, post season, regular season.

2137
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,840
Speaker 1: a phenomenal player, one of the all time greats. Doesn't

2138
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 1: make it. No personality, He has no personality. See that's

2139
01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:00,639

2142
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:11,240

2143
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 3: the first NBA superstar. My dad ever took me to

2155
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,719
Speaker 2: the NBA by someone leaving the scene.

2156
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 1: What happened to Pop and what is his legacy? We'll

2157
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:48,960

Speaker 3: I got a little least antagonized.

2169
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 1: It All fair, that's all all fair. There's love, man,

2170
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:22,759
Speaker 1: I love you guys. Are you kidding me? Not personal?

2171
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:26,680
Speaker 2: Bro? We're talking sports all right now? Uh, Greg Popovich.

2172
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:31,559
Speaker 2: Pop is a very interesting character in the NBA history.

2173
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 2: I mean, here are the facts. Facts that are he's

2174
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 2: the winningest coach in NBA history. Facts, five championships. Fact

2175
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 2: facts he is on the Mount Rushmore of coaches based

2176
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:42,559
Speaker 2: on his resume in the NBA.

2177
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 1: So that's a fact.

2178
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, I say, I say this, you got red our box,

2179
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:49,839
Speaker 2: you got Phil Jackson's, and then there's Pat Riley.

2180
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, think about this. Riley not only one with

2181
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 1: the Lakers.

2182
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 2: It's say, well, I have sort of handed to him

2183
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 2: that type of thing, turn the Knicks around to an

2184
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 2: NBA Finals there then won a championship with the Heat.

2185
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 2: He's got five I mean, if you're just going on rings.

2186
01:36:05,479 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 2: The only other, By the way, there is one other

2187
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 2: coach that has five rings. There's actually five of them.

2188
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 2: The other is John Goonla, who is the Minneapolis Lakers

2189
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 2: coach who has left off the top fifteen coaches. When

2190
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,240
Speaker 2: they celebrated the seventy fifth anniversary inexplicably and they put

2191
01:36:19,280 --> 01:36:20,519
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers on that list.

2192
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, Doc Rivers, quick hot take up on

2193
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 1: Pat Roley.

2194
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:25,719
Speaker 3: I just cut a video on disciput on social media

2195
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 3: four nights ago when when he got eliminated because of

2196
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 3: the way they got embarrassed and got knocked out. I

2197
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 3: think good coach, really really good coach. I think Pat

2198
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 3: Raley just really fell into a lot. And and listen,

2199
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:37,760
Speaker 3: it's not that he's not a good coach, but man,

2200
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 3: did the chips kind of fall right for this guy?

2201
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: They single and by.

2202
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 2: The way, as someone that you know had late in

2203
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 2: his laker before he left, a relentless ego. I mean, like,

2204
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,040
Speaker 2: but then Phil Jackson, like I said, if you're going

2205
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:59,519
Speaker 2: to coach elite players, your ego has to be on par,

2206
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 2: if not greater than their greater than they wont Phil

2207
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 2: Jackson or pat Riley. That's that's why they were so

2208
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:08,479
Speaker 2: good with great players. But again, if you're just based

2209
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:10,160
Speaker 2: on championships.

2210
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,080
Speaker 3: That in the Miami he won, like they were going

2211
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,600
Speaker 3: to win that championship of usially always feel bad for

2212
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:15,280
Speaker 3: Van Gundy.

2213
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 1: They were going to get that chip.

2214
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:18,559
Speaker 4: Eventually he comes down.

2215
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 1: It kind of takes that ring from Van Gundy.

2216
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:26,640
Speaker 2: So I asked the olden Polonies yesterday about Popovich, you know,

2217
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 2: and I said, why why.

2218
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:30,160
Speaker 1: Was he so effected? It's such a weird story.

2219
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 2: If you don't know this, he was actually in the

2220
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:35,240
Speaker 2: front office of the Spurs and essentially hired himself as

2221
01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: the coach, as the coach.

2222
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 1: Was right right around there, so he hired himself to

2223
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: be the coach.

2224
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was thinking it was going

2225
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 2: to be something with the last twenty something plus the

2226
01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 2: years twenty seven years, but at the time, you know,

2227
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 2: and then they won that championship that was the Astros

2228
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:53,920
Speaker 2: nineteen nine fifty season in ninety nine, and then of

2229
01:37:53,960 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 2: course then it was like every other year three h five,

2230
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 2: oh seven and then of course the last one.

2231
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 1: So never went back to Ben. But I asked Olden Polinese,

2232
01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:06,160
Speaker 1: a veteran in the league and played all through that era.

2233
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 2: His pop as good as advertised. He goes, here's the

2234
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:17,599
Speaker 2: thing about Popovich. He was really a player's coach. You remember,

2235
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 2: he got a lot of heat. He was the first

2236
01:38:19,400 --> 01:38:22,560
Speaker 2: time management guy, right and they got it, you know,

2237
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 2: fight and and he basically said, don't worry about them,

2238
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 2: don't worry about anybody. He always had the backs of

2239
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 2: his players and they trusted him. Plus he had a

2240
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 2: superstar in Tim Duncan. That would be his foil because

2241
01:38:38,160 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 2: well boring but also but also a foil where he

2242
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 2: could come down hard on Duncan. Duncan got it, he

2243
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 2: would take it, and then that sets the tone for

2244
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 2: everybody else on the team, like if I'm coming after

2245
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:54,680
Speaker 2: the big guy, you know. And Duncan understood this, and

2246
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 2: it worked, and they developed a Tony Parker.

2247
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 1: And a Monogennobili and every other great player they had.

2248
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: I asked the older and I said, well, then what

2249
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:04,519
Speaker 1: happened to Kawhi? Why did he bail? And he goes

2250
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 1: because he didn't want to play for him?

2251
01:39:05,800 --> 01:39:07,960
Speaker 3: Do you think coaches and stars kind of get on

2252
01:39:08,040 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 3: the side and say, hey, listen today in the meeting,

2253
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna rip you.

2254
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 1: Well, not all like just back a little, but just

2255
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:18,719
Speaker 1: so we can get these other guys. I'll here, here's

2256
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:19,479
Speaker 1: here's true. Sorry.

2257
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 2: When the Lakers the second round of Championships with Powell

2258
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 2: and Kobe with Phil Luke, Walton was the whipping boy

2259
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 2: for Phil Jacks.

2260
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I've heard, I've heard, I've heard it

2261
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 1: was but you know, you know, Luke was a guy

2262
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: that he didn't care he got it right.

2263
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 2: This point, Luke was barely even playing like he had

2264
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 2: I've never seen a guy get out of a locker

2265
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 2: room quicker after a game than Luke Walton.

2266
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 1: I swear he was wearing street clothes underneath his sweats,

2267
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: Like he wasn't even wearing antral jersey. There's no way

2268
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 1: you could have gotten down that jersey way anyway.

2269
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 3: So he's looking he would We barely got there to

2270
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:04,719
Speaker 3: a lot for room to go in and he's already

2271
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 3: I just got off the elevator.

2272
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Yeah, how do you know why

2273
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 1: you got out of a jersey that quickly? Anyway? So,

2274
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:12,880
Speaker 1: but my my basic question is this.

2275
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 2: You know, when we talk about the value of a coach,

2276
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 2: how many coaches really make a difference. I mean, it

2277
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 2: really comes down to the players. Uh, you know, like

2278
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick said, we have to execute better. Another one

2279
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:26,960
Speaker 2: of those type of things. When I hear coaches saying, hey,

2280
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 2: we had the perfect game plan, they just didn't execute.

2281
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 2: That's when I know you're not a leader, you're not

2282
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:31,719
Speaker 2: a coach.

2283
01:40:32,040 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 1: But Pop was that.

2284
01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 2: And but let me ask you this also because Pop

2285
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 2: was also a guy that did not shy away from

2286
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:42,800
Speaker 2: social issues that were important to his players, and he

2287
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:44,280
Speaker 2: obviously sided with them.

2288
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:48,639
Speaker 1: And when you go across that line, your a lely name.

2289
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:50,040
Speaker 1: He didn't give a rats.

2290
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:53,559
Speaker 2: Ass about that, and that's why and that's why I went, Yeah,

2291
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 2: I wasn't always on the same page with Pop, but

2292
01:40:56,640 --> 01:41:00,320
Speaker 2: I'm just judging him as an NBA coach, no doubt,

2293
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 2: one of the all time greats, because he knew how

2294
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 2: to coach NBA.

2295
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,759
Speaker 1: Players, Not only that, he knew how to hire.

2296
01:41:07,920 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 3: Like, think about it, two coaches that are coaching in

2297
01:41:10,120 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 3: the game seven against each other to who did they

2298
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 3: come under?

2299
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:16,519
Speaker 1: You got Steve Curran? You got? Do you? Guys?

2300
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 4: Go back and look at the clips he sat on

2301
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:19,679
Speaker 4: that bench for a long time.

2302
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,879
Speaker 3: Think about the information that that man had to received

2303
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 3: and got. People thought Dylan Brooks was done in this league.

2304
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:30,320
Speaker 1: I love Houston hiring him Houston, look at this what

2305
01:41:30,360 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 1: happened with him?

2306
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,680
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, man, everybody deserves a second chance, and he's

2307
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 3: kids a second chance. But back to the shador standers

2308
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 3: and players getting in trouble, all these other stuff and

2309
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 3: getting drafted.

2310
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 4: If you can coach you Patino, Hello, And I.

2311
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 1: Thought this guy's done in Houston in two years. Look

2312
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: taking that.

2313
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 3: Word, Yes I am, I'm because that's my guy. I'm

2314
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 3: riding with my Listen, do I think Houston's gonna win

2315
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:58,120
Speaker 3: the game. Yes, I'm picking the Warriors because I'm riding

2316
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:00,880

Speaker 3: I need stuff to go get me a game seven

2323
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,880
Speaker 3: like you did two years ago. Remember in Sacramento when

2324
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,040
Speaker 3: it put up a fifty burger and got that game

2325
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 3: seven out of the three seed Sacramento Kings when they

2326
01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:17,880
Speaker 3: were the six seed two years ago.

2327
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: I need that from Steph tonight. Maybe you can answer

2328
01:42:20,479 --> 01:42:21,720
Speaker 1: this question. All right.

2329
01:42:21,760 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 2: So another coach that obviously has had a lot of

2330
01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 2: success and is in the argument of the all time

2331
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,080
Speaker 2: greats is Steve Kerk and he's also been very outspoken

2332
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,240
Speaker 2: about social issues. For some reason, when it comes out

2333
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 2: of his mouth, I cannot stand Steve Kirk. I smug

2334
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 2: just comes to my mind every time he speaks. I

2335
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 2: didn't feel that way about Pop and the early they

2336
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 2: were on the same level. You know, I'm being outspoken

2337
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 2: about certain things that maybe they You know, most people

2338
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 2: are not comfortable with an NBA coach talking about didn't

2339
01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:57,280
Speaker 2: bother me so much with Pop as it does with

2340
01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 2: a guy like Steve Kerr.

2341
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: I cannot We're opposite dance.

2342
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:06,160
Speaker 3: Oh and I thought you want to talk smug? Pop

2343
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 3: was the guy not only started a little management. Pop

2344
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 3: was the guy that started being really smug to the

2345
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 3: interview people between.

2346
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:16,439
Speaker 1: Quarters and he smugg or was he having fun with that?

2347
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't having fun with that. Man a Belichick.

2348
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:20,840

2349
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:22,720
Speaker 1: kind of smug. Listen, I get it. He didn't want

2350
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:24,679
Speaker 1: to do it, but damn it, you don't run the league.

2351
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:25,719
Speaker 1: And the league now.

2352
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,320

Speaker 3: hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of millions and billions of

2354
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 3: dollars were making, we now want coaches to give just

01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:38,600
Speaker 3: say the question between the quarter, don't stand there, So Papavich,

2356
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:39,200

Speaker 1: Break the Top.

2389
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:12,560
Speaker 2: Is there any coach mancy that bothers you with their personality?

2390
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 2: Not so much what they do as a manager, as

2391
01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 2: a coach, just like their personality just turns you off?

2392
01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 1: Nick sab Belichick, I'm.

2393
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 8: Sure there is, but not one that comes to mind.

2394
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:28,920
Speaker 9: And all I wanted to say is I I love

2395
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,720
Speaker 9: Greg Popovich pop for president the whole thing.

2396
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 8: Do you think you you find cur smug?

2397
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 1: Smug? I've always used that word.

2398
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:45,800
Speaker 8: Because he's younger, and you know, Greg Popovich like has always.

2399
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:48,760
Speaker 9: Been like a like he's to me, he's always looked older, right,

2400
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:51,639
Speaker 9: and then Steve Kerr has kind of looked young coming

2401
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 9: into the league.

2402
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:59,440
Speaker 8: So I wonder if because similar.

2403
01:45:57,240 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: Can we be honest here?

2404
01:45:58,280 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 2: Mark Jackson made the splash brothers Mark Jackson basically and

2405
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 2: then they handed up well you remember when Luke Walton

2406
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 2: took over as an interim coach that anywhere what twenty

2407
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 2: four and oh it's not the topic though, Okay, that's

2408

2410
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,800
Speaker 2: look at Steve Kerr and a point. The only word

2411
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:19,840

01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 1: get a game in this series Nuggets in six.

2628
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean I'm saying, okay, see okay, see sorry listening

2629
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 3: live listeners out there driving around LA right.

2630
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 2: Now, do you think Denver can go into OKAC and

2631
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 2: win a game? I know, I think they get I

2632
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:15,320
Speaker 2: mean game one is sort of the key, right, Okase

2633
01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 2: He's been off for a while.

2634
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:21,040
Speaker 1: No, yeah, that's dangerous. This team's young. These are young ladies. Man,

2635
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 1: he's a young horse.

2636
01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you are going against are we? Yo Kich

2637
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:26,960
Speaker 2: is the best player in the NBA. He has been

2638
01:56:27,040 --> 01:56:32,040
Speaker 2: for five years, right, is he not? He's doing things that.

2639
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,200
Speaker 1: Have never been done before. Three time MVP.

2640
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:36,560
Speaker 2: He'll be runner up for the second time, So he's

2641
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:39,240
Speaker 2: gonna be three m VPS three two seconds and a

2642
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:39,680
Speaker 2: five years.

2643
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 1: But he's not a great defender though, so you can't

2644
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 1: be the best player and you have to shake Gill

2645
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:44,960
Speaker 1: just shut down people.

2646
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:47,000
Speaker 3: I think he doesn't shut down, but did not walk in.

2647
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,680
Speaker 3: He's not a turn turnstyle. He's not Luca on the perimeter.

2648
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:53,040
Speaker 2: All right, So I agree with you on Okac, Should

2649
01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 2: we even talk about Cleveland Indiana?

2650
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:58,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Cleveland might sweep them, might I mean?

2651
01:56:58,800 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 6: What might?

2652
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:02,400
Speaker 1: For a what do you think about the heat?

2653
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 6: Right?

2654
01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:03,320
Speaker 1: Again?

2655
01:57:03,400 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 2: Not a good team, especially with Jimmy Butler. God, but

2656
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:08,080
Speaker 2: you got a Hall of Fame coach on the bench

2657
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:10,560
Speaker 2: herek Spolster has been the six NBA Finals, won two

2658
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 2: NBA Championships, and he was like flabbergas, like you talk

2659
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 2: about being humble.

2660
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 3: His team didn't show up and that's why I understand.

2661
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:20,920
Speaker 3: But I mean, but Cleveland just put the beatout, just

2662
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 3: put it on him that game they were up fifty five.

2663
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 3: How is that possible? Bees players?

2664
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:27,880
Speaker 1: Tyler here? Okay, all right, let's just but.

2665
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,560
Speaker 2: Now let's get to an interesting matchup Nicks, Nicklebochus and

2666
01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:34,800
Speaker 2: so Celtics. All right, So, by the way, that crossover

2667
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:37,680
Speaker 2: that Brunson did to set up that that was if

2668
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:42,800
Speaker 2: I just can't really quick cole cereal killer that kid. Listen,

2669
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 2: it was against my Pistons. And you know what, that's

2670
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 2: a learning moment for Thompson.

2671
01:57:46,200 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 1: And that's a great defense. That's a defensive player.

2672
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 3: That's but it's a learning moment. Don't lean And when

2673
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 3: you go watch the replay, you're leaning way far to

2674
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:55,000
Speaker 3: the right.

2675
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: Agressed.

2676
01:57:56,360 --> 01:57:58,360
Speaker 3: See Brunson's face in her once he knew he had

2677
01:57:58,400 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 3: a Bruns the kind of game to lip like. And

2678
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:02,520
Speaker 3: then I get and then I can actually get a

2679
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:03,600
Speaker 3: full second to.

2680
01:58:03,800 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 2: Set up, set up, and then you gotta still put

2681
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,760
Speaker 2: a whole blooded forty points, all right.

2682
01:58:08,880 --> 01:58:10,960
Speaker 1: So that being said, I'm picking the Knicks to win

2683
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 1: this series.

2684
01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 3: Oh we gotta put lunch on that. I'm Boston in

2685
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:17,880
Speaker 3: six yo. Why are you trying to play the.

2686
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 2: Celtics guys like, I think your Pistons we gave this

2687
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:26,800
Speaker 2: series away, but they put a serious scare in the

2688
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 2: Knicks and forced the Knicks have to go next level.

2689
01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:31,960
Speaker 1: Really with one guy k was twenty five, eight and

2690
01:58:32,080 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 1: nine in the series. This is a Celtic team that

2691
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 1: lost to an eight seed two years ago. I get it,

2692
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:40,080
Speaker 1: but this ain't two years ago. They hit all their threes.

2693
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:44,560
Speaker 14: That's the that's the thing with bostonna loaded threes exactly.

2694
01:58:44,640 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 4: But you also do need I need a thirty eight

2695
01:58:47,560 --> 01:58:51,160
Speaker 4: point thirty five games.

2696
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Townsend all this please. Man.

2697
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 4: If he ain't hitting his jumper, man, he's marshmallowie man.

2698
01:58:57,000 --> 01:58:58,600
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's the same thing you can say

2699
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:01,200
Speaker 2: about all the Celtics. Now, the Celtics live and die

2700
01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 2: with the three point shot period.

2701
01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 3: But you're talking about a team as opposed to one guy.

2702
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 3: Where Karl Anthony Towns don't got no three going, he

2703
01:59:08,440 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 3: is the most wasted bit. He is Rudy Gobert. If

2704
01:59:11,440 --> 01:59:14,400
Speaker 3: his three points not falling, Carl Anthony Towns is Rudy

2705
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 3: gold Bear.

2706
01:59:15,080 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say this. I'm not the first guy

2707
01:59:18,320 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 2: that actually because I asked Olden this question. He picks

2708
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:24,600
Speaker 2: the Knicks as well, and he gave me some interesting reasons.

2709
01:59:24,640 --> 01:59:29,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, really, Nicks, Nicks, Nicks, Knicks, Knicks Boston.

2710
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 1: Really, like you said, I agree with it. He easily

2711
01:59:32,640 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 1: could have lost to the Pistons, all.

2712
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,560
Speaker 3: Right, So Pistons and six and it was looking it

2713
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,280
Speaker 3: was looking that way after Game two, really was leaning

2714
01:59:40,320 --> 01:59:42,760
Speaker 3: that one m up game.

2715
01:59:43,440 --> 01:59:46,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, we know the Minnesota Timberwolves are there.

2716
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 14: By the way, say it again, why wasn't that a

2717
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:51,040
Speaker 14: foul in that one game too? Like like Pistons could

2718
01:59:51,040 --> 01:59:51,480
Speaker 14: have had that one?

2719
01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:54,280
Speaker 2: Will it mattered between the Warriors and the Rockets. Who

2720
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:55,320
Speaker 2: plays the Timberwolves?

2721
01:59:55,680 --> 02:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, And how's that cause Steph Curry? Jeez ha,

2722
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 1: did I.

2723
02:00:02,360 --> 02:00:06,040
Speaker 2: Ever mentioned here that Steve Currs smugg hold me down stuff.

2724
02:00:06,320 --> 02:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Keep it at Fox Sports, right,
