Speaker 1: big meeting a few weeks ago and they're like, hey,

00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: who are some brands you actually use? Like things you

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: actually use. I'm like, well, you already took care of

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: the sports betting with my DraftKings. That's a check. And

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: I was like Peloton every day, five days a week

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: during the NBA playoffs, but that's fine, five to seven

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: days a week. I said that cars, I said, Mercedes,

Speaker 1: get you guys for ten years. I mean your number.

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,399

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: He he advertises us more than anyone ever and Seat

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Geek because I had just when they had talked to me,

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: I had just bought those courtside tickets to Lakers Grizzlies

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: hadn't gone yet on seat Geek. I bought my theater

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: stuff on seat Geek, and guess what, seat Geek's now

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: a part of the What's Right team and so more

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: on them in a bit, but appreciate them as always. Demanse,

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: how are you. I know you've been a little under

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: the weather.

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good. Good at sea pops still a lot

30
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: better these days, but we're on the.

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: Okay, good, you sound good. You sound better than I thought.

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Your mom talked to you this weekend. She was like,

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Demansey's sick, he's coughing and all this stuff. I was

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: like Tuesdays and she'd show because listen, we can't do

35
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: and I understand. Warriors Clippers happened. We have Lakers Thunder

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: or Lakers Timberwolves. My NBA Awards ballad is today we

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: are pre emptively bumping our NFC over Unders. Instead of

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: during the show, as we've done three straight shows before

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: the show, We're now doing that Thursday because Wednesday night

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: we're not gonna need to talk Thursday, we're not gonna

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: talk a lot about the Wednesday Night nine ten muck

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: play in games. So Thursday when doing NFL over unders today,

43
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna do awards ballots. But you know, we also

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: have to do the producers. You know, the producers all

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they care a lot about the utube algorithm,

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: about what goes viral, and they're like, eh, Clippers, Warriors,

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: was Sunday Lakers stuff does really well. Maybe we can

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: trick Nick into not talking about the Masters by putting

49
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: in what missed the cut. So here's what missed the

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: cut and including what's gonna be a five to twenty

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: minute missed the cut segment. It won't be twenty, but

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a few minutes. Dallas drafts Pagebeckers number one.

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: That was obvious. Max Crosby's new assistant GM in Eastern Michigan.

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. Here's what does matter. Rory freaking McElroy

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: in an all time Masters Sunday, an all time Masters tournament.

56
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: In the last six years, Demons, there have been twelve

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: people to walk on the moon. There have been two

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: people to complete the career Grand Slam and Golf Rory

59
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: just became one of them. It's just facts. Since the

60
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: advent of colored television, you up until Sunday were twelve

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: times more likely to walk on the moon to complete

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: the career Grand Slam. Just fact, and Rory had been

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: trying and trying and trying. The five people who had

64
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: completed it before they completed it, it was Sam Sneid,

65
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods. Fact

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: checked me on that producers. But I'm ninety percent sure

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: those were the five. Sarahzn Sneed Player, Nicholas Woods. Those

68
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: five guys all completed it either on their first try

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: or their second or third try. Rory was on a

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: had eleven tries tries, couldn't get it done, and then

71
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: this weekend he goes into Sunday with the lead. So

72
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: let me back it up a little bit. Thursday, Rory

73
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: having one of the best masters. Oh, I gave it

74
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: to Sam Snead. It was Ben Hogan. My apologies, my goodness, gracious,

75
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: terrible job by me, Good job by Sam Snead for

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: me thinking it was him, but obviously it's Ben Hogan.

77
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: I got Sarah and Wright Snead wrong. Doesn't matter. Back

78
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: to Thursday, Rory announcing himself, this is gonna be my tournament.

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: He's on his way, cruising to probably a sixty six

80
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: round one in Augusta and then double bogie fifteen, double

81
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: bogee seventeen. All of a sudden, a majestic round turns

82
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: into even part. What happened? Rory? How does that happen?

83
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: But then he rebounds Friday with a great round Saturday,

84
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: despite having another double I'm sorry, no. Saturday, another great

85
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: round and then we're like, okay, he's the leader. Bryson

86
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: hits a huge putt on eighteen. Bright It's gonna be

87
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: Bryson and Rory, the two most popular golfers in the world,

88
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: both polarizing for their own reasons. Final pairing at Augusta National.

89
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: When just last year, when Rory was looking like he

90
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: was gonna win a major, Bryson up and down from

91
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: the bunker at eighteen to steal it from him. Rory

92
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: crestfallen leaves without talking to the press. Everyone gets mad

93
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: at him. Sunday though he's got the lead, two shot

94
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: lead going into Sunday. At the Masters first hole, another

95
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: double bogee, it's now three double bogeys on the round.

96
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Only one guy ever has won the Masters with three

97
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: double bogies. He then follows that up with a terrible

98
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: second hole, and all of a sudden, Bryson is in

99
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: the lead and the Rory meltdown is on. It would appear,

100
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. He then rallies over the next ten

101
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: holes takes a commanding lead. I think it was a

102
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: four shot lead at that point. Demonsay on DraftKings he

103
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: is minus twelve hundred to win the tournament, minus twelve hundred.

104
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: All you gotta do, Rory is cruise. Just relax, chill,

105
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: don't worry. Cruise. So we get to the thirteenth hole. Sorry,

106
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: my phone's playing the sound because I'm looking at the

107
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: highlights so excited. Get to the thirteenth hole. He is

108
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: a four shot lead. Bryson has melted at this point

109
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: to par five. He's been going for par fives and

110
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: two all weekend. Is you know what, I'm gonna be smart? No,

111
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Jean van der veldeing here, I'm gonna lay up, leave

112
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: myself a beautiful eighty yards to get on the green

113
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: and he duffs it. One of the worst pitch shots

114
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: you'll ever see a professional golfer hit right into the creek,

115
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: right into the creek from eighty yards out, and all

116
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden he has his fourth double bogie of

117
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the day. All of a sudden, it's a tournament again,

118
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: and nobody can believe it's happened. So we but very

119
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: next hole another Bogeye is the Rory meltdown complete? It

120
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: is not an amazing fifteenth and seventeenth hole, And all

121
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden he gets to eighteen. Justin Rose holds

122
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: the butt. He gets to eighteen, demansay, we just need

123
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: a four, a four, and you put on the green

124
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: jacket a four and you're a legend forever. Rory McElroy,

125
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: who was such a prodigy in Northern Ireland, his dad

126
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: and his buddies pulled money when he was like ten

127
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: years old to bet with the bookies in Ireland. One day,

128
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: my son's gonna come back to Europe, to the United

129
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Kingdom and win the British Open. The bookie was like,

130
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: give me a break. He's like nope. In fact, I'm

131
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: gonna give you the exact details on that. Rory McElroy

132
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: dad British Open bet. This is an all time story

133
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: So Rory's dad walks in to a bookie shop in

134
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: the UK. He says, I got a fifteen year old son.

135
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: He's gonna win the British Open one day. Me and

136
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: my friends have uh, me and my friends have pulled

137
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: together two hundred dollars. Guy's like, well, all right, I'll

138
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: give you five hundred to one on it. It's like,

139
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: all right, two hundred bucks to win one hundred grand,

140
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: I'll take it. And ten years later Rory does it.

141
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Twenty six years old. Dad walks back in says, hope,

142
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: you spent that two hundred dollars wisely, give me my

143
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: hundred racks. But then Rory went a decade without winning

144
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a major. Shortly after that, still no Masters, no career

145
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. He walks up to eighteen knowing a four

146
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: and I win the Masters. Puts it in the sand.

147
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: That's okay, just get it close, Rory, get it close.

148
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: He gets it to six feet this putt to win

149
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: the Masters, pulls it left missus. Oh my god, this

150
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be the most crush loss in golf history.

151
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: Playoff hole. Justin Rose been steady, Round one leader, Round

152
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: two leader, just chillin. All of a sudden crazy putt

153
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: for him on eighteen to get in the playoff. Rory

154
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: hits his second set on eighteen in the playoff hole

155
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: within four feet shot of his life, drains the putt,

156
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: puts on the green jacket, weeps, sobs the stuff dreams

157
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: are made of. Now one of the fifteen greatest golfers ever,

158
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: one of the ten greatest golfers of the last one

159
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: hundred years, Rory Dan McElroy And oh yeah, have you

160
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: looked at the other majors this year? One is the

161
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: PGAs that of course he crushes. The US Opens, that,

162
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: of course he's won at. And guess where the British

163
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: Open is? Demons in Northern Ireland where he's from. Oh my,

164
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: what a what a weekend of golf. All of that

165
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: took place on me and your mom's anniversary. And I

166
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: was sitting in a sports book in Philadelphia, where man

167
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: sometimes being in Philadelphia being Nick Wright can suck. And

168
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if your mom gave you this story.

169
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: It was I disarmed everybody all day. Everybody that came

170
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: up to me, I could see in their eye like

171
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: they want to talk trash to me. So every single

172
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: person that came up to me. I said congrats on

173
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: the super Bowl before they could say anything, and I

174
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: disarmed everyone. Everyone because of that was quite nice, except

175
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: for one person who was a little drunk at a

176
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: bar and really got in my face and was really

177
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: quite rude to me. And here's the tricky part about that.

178
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: That one person happened to be a female, and your

179
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: mom was sitting right there and I was like, oh boy,

180
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: this is not going to go well for anyone involved.

181
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Her boyfriend's recording I'm like, oh, she like really played

182
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: this whole confrontation. I'm like, hey, I congrats leaving you

183
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: win the super Bowl, and she was like, in this

184
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: stupid South Jersey accident, like stop talking all that shit.

185
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't talk any shit. I second congress

186
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: to one of the super Bowl. I'm just having a

187
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: good time. She was like, then, why'd you come up

188
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: and talk to us. I'm like, okay, you're a hammered

189
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm just listening. And as soon as she said that,

190
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: your mom stood up and I was like, oh boy,

191
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: time to go. Nice to meet you. See you guys later.

192
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: We're out of here. But so that was Saturday, Sunday.

193
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Your mom's out shopping. The reason I even said any

194
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: of this in the sports book. Sportsbook folks know me

195
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: and they actually like me. So they're like, hey, Nick,

196
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: we have a we have it's a ten TV setup,

197
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: two giant ones and then eight good ones. They basically

198
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: gave me the remote for Sunday. They're like, you picked

199
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: the games, you picked the sound. What a dream? Here,

200
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm signaling them when to go from the sound of

201
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: the Masters to Warriors Clippers. We've got the Lakers in

202
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: the bottom corner because bronis playing. I've got a bet

203
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: on the Nuggets to beat the Rockets. We got that going.

204
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, what a dream. So all that was Sunday,

205
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: capped off by Rory McElroy and capped off by the Warriors,

206
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: potentially wrecking their whole season. Now to the part of

207
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: the show. Everyone who has a financial incentive on the

208
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: show wished I would have led with which is the basketball?

209
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: But I care too much about the golf to leave

210
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: it out. Go ahead? Uh?

211
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: Yes, The play in tournament starts tonight. On the West.

212
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 2: We've got Golden State in Memphis. On the East, got

213
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: Orlando and Atlanta. There's lots unpack in Orlando.

214
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 3: And Atlanta. So I don't think we're gonna get to

215
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: it today.

216
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: You wrote, you wrote, you said there's a lot to unpack. Yeah,

217
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: another one who gives it? We're not talking about Atlanta?

218
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

219
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

220
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: So the big story is Golden State's in the play

221
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: in and the bigger stories. What did you think of

222
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: the game that knocked them into the play in? They

223
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: obviously took an ounce of the Clippers.

224
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: All right, So I think a lot of things. I

225
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: think the first thing is I owe Draymond Green an apology.

226
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: Nine years ago, demonse, the Golden State Warriors were playing

227
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. It's

228
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: a very famous series because in those Western Conference Finals,

229
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: the Thunder were up three games to one, and the

230
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Warriors came all the way back, most famously because of

231
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson's Game six, a brilliant Game seven, and then

232
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: the Warriors, of course went on to lose their own

233
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: three to one lead in the NBA Finals. Many people

234
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: falsely believe the reason they lost that series was because

235
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: Draymond Green got suspended four game five. Now, that reason

236
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: that belief is so absurd is because not only did

237
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: the Cabs blow them ount in Game five, but the

238
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: argument was, well, Lebron wouldn't never scored forty one if

239
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: Draymond was on the court, and so in Game six,

240
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: when Draymond was on the court, Lebron scored exactly forty

241
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: one one. Again, but that's neither here nor there to

242
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: the apology. So in those NBA playoffs, the reason Draymond

243
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Green got people falsely believe Draymond Green got suspended for

244
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: punching Lebron James and the groin. That is not We're

245
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: slapping him in the groin, however you want to put it.

246
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: That is not quite right. Draymond Green got suspended for

247
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: accumulating four flagrant foul points. He got a flagrant foul

248
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: in round one against the Rockets for body slamming Michael

249
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: Beasley as the game was ending, in something that no

250
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: one quite could ever figure out why he did. He

251
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: got a flagrant foul point for slapping at Lebron James.

252
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: But in the interregnum of that, he got a flagrant

253
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: foul point for attempting a layup and kicking Steven Adams

254
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: dead in the groin. And so all that accumulated, and

255
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: I was very vocal that that was obviously intentional, because

256
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: no human being ever has ever shot a layup and

257
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: had part of the layup motion b their left leg

258
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: go at a ninety degree angle into the air towards

259
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: the baseline. So obviously he was trying to do it.

260
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: Nine years later, I'm here to tell you, Draymond, I

261
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: apologize I was wrong. Turns out you sometimes just spaz

262
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: out on layups because with the game on the line

263
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: down two in overtime, Draymond Green had a wide open layup,

264
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: no one to kick, and in some weird failed attempt

265
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: to draw a foul. I guess kicked the air, fell

266
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: backwards and smoked the layup. And that was only one

267
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: of his two grievous late game mistakes. So the other

268
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: one is this, and the broadcast I think screwed this

269
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: up end of regulation. The Clippers get the ball, tie game,

270
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: thirty one seconds left. So what that means is make

271
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: or miss. The Warriors are going to get the last shot.

272
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: You play solid defense for twenty twenty four seconds, you're

273
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna have seven to ten seconds if you're Golden State

274
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: with a timeout. Kawhi gets the ball with four on

275
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: the shot clock and now eleven on the game clock

276
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: and Draymond panics and takes a foul to give, which

277
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: the broadcasts like, oh, that's no problem, they're not in

278
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: the bonus's foul to give. It was a problem because

279
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: now the shot clock resets to fourteen, there's only ten

280
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: seconds left it Now the Clippers get the last shot,

281
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: and now the worst thing that worst case scenario for

282
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the Clippers is overtime as opposed to worst case scenario

283
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: being losing. So Draymond messed up the end of regulation,

284
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: smoked the layup at the end of overtime, and all

285
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Warriors are in the play in.

286
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: There's another part of that game that I must address

287
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: because Steph Curry. Listen, Steph was utterly brilliant in the

288
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of that game, hit hell hit a shot

289
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: that he thought was the game winner. I know because

290
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: he did his shimmy afterwards in the end up losing.

291
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: And I even can not ding him too much for

292
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: the eight turnovers in that game, even though those were rough.

293
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: But when Kawhi' is locked like that and held, Chris

294
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: Dunn is real impressive defensively, all of a sudden, you're

295
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: gonna force some turnovers find so be it. But the

296
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: other thing that happened at the end of that game

297
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: is something that has happened to Steph Curry at the

298
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: end of close games, particularly close, high leverage games for

299
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: his the majority of his career, which is Steve Kerr

300
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: takes him off the court because he is a defensive liability.

301
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: And I understand that people get so enraptured by Steph

302
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: Curry's offensive brilliance one of one shot making, the gravity

303
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: as on the game, all of it and sustained excellent

304
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: at age thirty seven, that people sometimes get a little

305
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: over their skis and they're like, not only is he

306
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: top ten? Why is he not in the goat conversation?

307
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: And I have been hesitant to have him quite officially

308
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: crack my all time top ten, so my all time

309
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: top twelve in order. Longtime listeners know this, viewers know this,

310
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: and I will do this off the top of my head.

311
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: I will know I will get it right if we

312
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: end with twelve. Is lebron Kareem, Michael Magic, Russell, Wilt Duncan,

313
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Kobe Bird, dream Shaq, Steph so Shack and Steph are

314
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: right on the outside barely. They are both one of

315
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: one unique forces in NBA history. They both, however, have

316
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: one feature that no one in the top ten does,

317
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: which is, in the some of the biggest games of

318
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: their careers, their team took them off the court because

319
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: of a flaw in their game that they were never

320
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: able to quite correct. For Shaquille O'Neill, it was late

321
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: game free throws if they had a lead late and

322
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: the other team was definitely going to foul. Phil Jackson

323
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: would say to Shaq, we're better off with you not

324
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: on the court this possession. And Steve Kerr, for STEP's

325
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: entire career, if given the opportunity to go offense defense,

326
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: we'll have one of the greatest players of all time

327
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: stand next to him rather than be on the court.

328
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: It's not disqualifying from anything other than jumping guys like

329
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Dream and Bird and Kobe and Donky, So it's not disrespectful.

330
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: You still have him ahead of doctor j out of Jokich,

331
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: out of Jerry West, out of Oscar, out of Jiannis,

332
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: hat of Durant, head of all those guys. But you

333
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: saw it again, and so those were my initial takeaways,

334
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: and then my further out takeaway was, wait a minute,

335
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: Kaminga wasn't under the weather, Kaminga wasn't dinged up, Kaminga

336
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: was a fully healthy DNP coaches decision, which again maybe

337
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: that was covered during the broadcast, but I was toggling

338
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: sound masters to the NBA, and so I didn't realize

339
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: that that is a huge story and what that means

340
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: for the Warriors vibe check going forward and the Warriors' chances.

341
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: So Golden State had it all out in front of them,

342
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: where if they had just taken care of the Spurs game,

343
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: which they blew in a horrific fashion. And I don't

344
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: know if we've talked since then, but that Spurs loss,

345
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: just like I think we did it on Thursday. I

346
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it doesn't matter. Really echoes through

347
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: this season, much like the Spurs win over the Nuggets

348
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: last year cost them the one seed. Echoed through that

349
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: season when the Nuggets all of a sudden, they are

350
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: blowing a game seven to the Timberwolves. So that loss

351
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: made it to where the Warriors weren't going to be

352
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: able to get to the four or five line. This

353
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: loss puts him in the play in and we have

354
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: seen the Warriors have issues in the play in, Lebron

355
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: hit the three over steph their first game ever in

356
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: the play in. Draymond then smoked a layup as time

357
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: expired in their elimination game of the play in. They

358
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: went to overtime and the Grizzlies beat them. And then

359
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: last year, Clay has the worst game of his career

360
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: and they lose to the Kings in the play in.

361
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: That's over three And while no one has been less

362
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: impressed by the traveling circus that is the Memphis Grizzlies

363
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: than me, as of late, the Grizzlies can win tonight,

364
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: and if the Grizzlies win tonight, demand the Warriors season ends.

365
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: Not because the Warriors won't beat the winner of MAVs Kings,

366
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: but because the Warriors, having cost themselves a week off

367
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: dealing with Jimmy Butler's quad contusion, Jonathan Kaminga's ego contusion,

368
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden heading into Oklahoma City,

369
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: will get absolutely cooked.

370
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 3: What's going on with Jonathan Mingo? You're saying the egle thing.

371
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: What's well Curb sounds like.

372
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: For the first time in three months. Kerr was like, no,

373
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: you're just not in the rotation, And.

374
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: I mean by the X factor for that team. Maybe Pods.

375
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: I could see Pods being that.

376
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: But whatever it is, Man, Kerr just decided in our

377
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: biggest game of the year, we are better off giving

378
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: you zero minutes, and it was and according to the

379
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: people who've covered that team, the closest the players are

380
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: not mad about it. So that's like, now Kamingo's kind

381
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: of been on the ounce. He wanted a big contract.

382
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: I didn't give it to him, but still you thought

383
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: that he was going to be important. And so now

384
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: the Warriors' best case scenario is they go into a

385
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: two week all out death match with the email Udoka's

386
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Rocket squad, with Amon Thompson fresh off holding Steph Curry

387
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: to three points, putting him in jail for two weeks.

388
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: And if you're lucky enough to get out of that

389
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: series only bruised and battered, you have the Lakers waiting

390
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: for you. So none of that's good man. So I

391
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: think this weekend was disastrous for the Clipper or for

392
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: the Warriors, and I think they absolutely could lose tonight.

393
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: I know they're seven point favorites. I like, you know,

394
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: Jah is a live grenade and he can go off. Yeah,

395
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: And so I think that is very dangerous. I know

396
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: you have another play in question. Do that and then we.

397
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: Can uh yeah, So how do you feel about the

398
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: play and do you think that it should maybe be

399
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: taken or should they leave it to give you know,

400
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 2: teams like players like Steph the opportunity to make it

401
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: if you're like kind of hanging out in the back.

402
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I like it under the original premise,

403
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: which was the Bubble created the play in but it

404
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: was only going to exist if teams were with an

405
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: X amount of games in the standings. This year, it

406
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: isn't fair for the Warriors or the Grizzlies that one

407
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: of them is going to be in a win or

408
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: go home game against a Kings or a MAVs team

409
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: that they The Warriors and Grizzlies both won forty eight games.

410
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: The Kings and MAVs won forty and thirty nine, respectively.

411
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: So that's where I don't like it. Where So last

412
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: year's standings are a better example of when it could

413
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: be good. Last year, the Bakers won forty seven. The

414
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Kings and Warriors both won forty six, So it's like, okay,

415
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: they're a game apart. The Pelicans won forty nine. They

416
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: were the seven. Initially the Lakers beat them, and then

417
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, and then the Warriors played the Kings in

418
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: the nine ten. The Kings went on obviously to play

419
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: the Pelicans in the in the final playing game. But

420
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: the point being under those circumstances where teams are that close.

421
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: But last year, for example, in the East, the Sixers

422
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: won forty seven, the Heat won forty six. Those were

423
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: the seven eight, and then the Bulls won thirty nine

424
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: and the Hawks won thirty six, and they're in a

425
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: play in So I do like it. I don't think

426
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: it should be guaranteed that we're getting it. I think

427
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: we should only get it if teams are within say,

428
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: three games of making the playoffs without it. By the way,

429
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: like rate, subscribe Review, especially since I said I think

430
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: we might be able to hit two hundred thousand today

431
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: and so we're we're at one hundred and ninety eight

432
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: thousand and change. So obviously it would be great if

Speaker 3: All right.

438
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: Now, let's get to the Lakers side of this.

439
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: Lakers locked up the three seed and now they are

440
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: facing ant in Minnesota in round one. Luca obviously took

441
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 2: care of business, but against against them last year he

442
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: averaged thirty two, thirty two, nine and eight. How do

443
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: you think these teams stack up against each other? Are

444
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: you a little worried there?

445
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: No, this is the ideal bracket for the Lakers. Okay, So, like, listen,

446
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: everything's hard in the West, and everyone wanted Memphis. But

447
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: once it was clear Memphis wasn't going to climb out

448
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: of the play in part of it, then this was

449
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the best you could have hoped for. Like, you want

450
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: to play the Nuggets right now? I don't. Jamal Murray's back,

451
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: joker is joker. You want to play the Clippers right now?

452
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Holy shit, that team looks unbelievable. The Warriors, because of Steph,

453
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: are always dangerous. So again, the best possible path for

454
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers, in my opinion, was having the Thunder, Nuggets

455
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: and Clippers on the other side of the bracket. And

456
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: they do they are they might. By the way, also,

457
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: if the Warriors lose tonight, they'll If the Warriors lose tonight,

458
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers road to the Conference finals is Timberwolves and

459
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: then either Rockets Grizzlies, and even if the Warriors win

460
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: tonight and then Simbols in either Rockets Golden State and

461
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: so Aunt might average thirty to a game in this series.

462
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: The Lakers do not have anyone that can guard Anthony Edwards,

463
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: but that's fine. Here are the other things that are

464
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I don't know how you can credibly play

465
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert the amount of minutes you probably want to

466
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: play him. Luca just told us a week ago. He

467
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: was like, what moment from your from the MAVs video

468
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: got you choked up the most? And it wasn't when

469
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: they drafted him. It wasn't, you know, one of his

470
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: crazy buzzer beaters. It wasn't the seventy point game. It

471
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: was hitting the step back over go Beer in the

472
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Conference finals, then cursing him out in Slovenia. Luca has

473
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: tortured Rudy Gobert on multiple count nicks in the Olympic

474
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: Slovenia against France. He's done it when Gobert was a Jazz.

475
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: He did it when Gobert was a Timberwolf, he did it.

476
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: So that is a rough spot for the Timberwolves to

477
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: start with. You then add that the Lakers are getting

478
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: They no longer have to deal with playoff D'Angelo Russell,

479
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: which is a disaster, and instead get to go against

480
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: playoff Julius Randall, which is a different type of disaster.

481
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: That's nice. They don't have Darvin Ham with his hands

482
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: in his pockets or drawing up on the whiteboard contest

483
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: without fouling. They've got JJ who's been up for thirty

484
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: nine straight hours figuring out how to blitz Anthony Edwards.

485
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: All that's good. You also have a series that because

486
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: Luca is going to want to make Rudy Gobert cry,

487
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: Lebron's gonna be able to sit back the first three

488
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: quarters like he did in that MAVs game. So again,

489
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: I think it is a hard fought five games for

490
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers, maybe six. I will tell you guys my

491
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: favorite round one bet. Shout out to my friends at DraftKings,

492
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: by the way, like we should. I would like to

493
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: can DraftKings. Can we start getting some boosts or something?

494
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: I just if there's something I really like. I don't know.

495
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: This is plus one twenty. Maybe they can throw my

496
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: face on it, make it plus one twenty five for

497
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: what's right, listeners. But the Lakers minus a game and

498
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: a half in the series, meaning is plus one twenty.

499
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: So the Lakers for the series is minus two hundred.

500
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: So question is, do you think the Lakers are going

501
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: to win the series? Yes, okay, you bet them at

502
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: minus two hundred. You win if they win in four

503
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: or five, six or seven. Or you can get them

504
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: at minus a game and a half at plus one

505
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: twenty and you win if they win the series in four, five,

506
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: or six. So yes, you cost yourself if it's a

507
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: seven game Lakers win. But I don't think it's gonna

508
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: be seven games because I think Luca is gonna light

509
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: this team on fire, and I think that, uh, listen,

510
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: nas Reed's gonna be a problem. You got credit where

511
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: it's due. Jaden McDaniels is an excellent defensive player, but

512
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: they got We saw Luca with a worst supporting cast,

513
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: beat this team in five to go to the finals

514
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: last year. Now, Aunt said I got tired, which was odd,

515
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: and Aunt won't be tired this time. But you also

516
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: have Lebron with eight days off coming into it.

517
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 2: On the Lebron side, are like, obviously not trying to

518
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: speak this in the existence, but are you worried at

519
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: all about his growing?

520
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 3: So I know that was kind of acting up last.

521
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: Night week he saw Yeah, so it looked like he

522
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of tweaked it in the game against Houston game

523
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: eighty one. He didn't seem too concerned. And this is

524
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: also why you know having eight days off is going

525
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: to be so incredibly useful and helpful. So no, I'm

526
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: not obviously if he truly reaggravates his growing, if he

527
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: has to miss time, then that would be a problem.

528
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: But this is where I remind you guys of one

529
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 1: of the single most remarkable stats in basketball history, which

530
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: is Lebron James' teams have played in two hundred and

531
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: eighty seven playoff games. Demanse in his career two hundred

532
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 1: and eight, So teams Lebron has been on have played

533
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: in two hundred and eighty seven playoff games. Of those

534
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty seven, Lebron James has played in

535
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty seven. He has never missed a

536
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 1: single playoff game in his career. So yes, fingers crossed,

537
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: knock on wood, whatever you gotta do. But also that

538
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: number is.

539
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 3: So bananas, it's pretty crazy.

540
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: It's three and a half full seasons. Yeah, he's played.

541
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: This will be his fifty fifth career playoff series, fifty

542
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: five series. He's forty one and thirteen in his career

543
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: in playoff series, And so yeah, I mean, I you hope.

544
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: Obviously he's got to stay healthy. He's done a good

545
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: job of that through his career. One more question before

546
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: we move on to some other stuff.

547
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: So if Minnesota ends up winning this series and at

548
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: shows out as he moved closer to become in the face.

549
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: So yes, I Ant needs to tighten up his off

550
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: court life, but he's got everything else. And if he

551
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: were to outduel Lebron and Luca in what is going

552
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: to be the highest rated Round one series, yeah that will.

553
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: But I kind of look at Ant. Here's the optimistic

554
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: look of Ant. He's on the Luca trajectory. Luca made

555
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: an early conference finals run. The next year, the team

556
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: made a big trade and then took a bit of

557
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: a step back for Luca was Kyrie. They end up

558
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs. For Ant, they trade Carl Anthony Towns.

559
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 1: You know, they end up down at the sixth line,

560
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: probably bouncing round one and the next year for Luca,

561
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: they made the finals, so that like it's not like

562
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: Ant is behind schedule at all. But yes, this would

563
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: scutt This would Winning this round one series would do

564
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: more for Ant's notoriety and facing the league stuff than

565
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: winning the round two series they did last year against Denvers.

566
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: Sies.

567
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: Probably super important with this year, like if he won

568
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: this one, if they beat the Lakers and then they

569
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 2: just lost in round two.

570
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 1: Correct, No, no, no, you beat the Lakers, everyone's then gonna

571
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: expect you to beat the Rockets or the Warriors or

572
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies. That that part's definitely true. All right, before

573
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: we get to the other round one series, guys, this awesome.

574
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: You guys know that one of my favorite things to

575
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: do is go to sporting events. Also love going to Broadway.

576
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Actually I just saw Gypsy. Oh my goodness, there's an

577
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: unbol Audrey McDonald, my lord, But you guys also saw.

578
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: I was just at Lakers Grizzlies courtside. You guys might

579
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: not have seen because I didn't tweet anything from it,

580
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: but I just took my nephew to his first ever

581
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: basketball game Nick Suns last weekend, and tonight I am

582
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: going to Yankees' Royals because the Royals are back in town.

583
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 1: They lost last night. That sucks playing the Yankees. And

584
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: I get all of my seats from our news sponsor,

585
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: seat geek. Over twenty eight million downloads. Seat geek is

586
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: the number one rated ticketing app. There's more than seventy

587
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: thousand events listed on seat geek, including concerts, sports, festivals,

00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and more. Right now you can get tickets to the

589
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: MLB season again. I'm going to Yankees Royals tonight and

590
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: then I'm going to I don't have my tickets yet

591
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: for tomorrow, but assuming the Royals win tonight, in fact

592
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether they win or lose tonight, I am

593
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: taking my wife, my daughter, and one other person I'm

594
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: not sure who, two Yankees Royals on Wednesday, getting those

595
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: seats from seat geek. So if you guys haven't used

596
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: SeatGeek before, again, the deal score. You know, it's been

597
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: copied by other people. Nobody does it right. It gives

598
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: you a great a great feeling, especially if it's for

599
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: a stadium you haven't been to. Before, like, how good

600
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: is this seat? How good is this deal? And it's

601
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: really good for Broadway in particular, because Broadway's a little confusing.

602
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: Like sometimes like basketball games, row one is the best,

603
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: but Broadway that's not always the case. Sometimes you want

604
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: to be a little further back, doesn't matter. Point is

605
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: this Seatgeeks helps you out with all of it. And

606
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: again right now for that Yankee game, I don't know

607
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: if I can show you, guys, but you can get

608
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: in on seat Geek for thirty five bucks if you

609
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: want to sit in the grand stands and hell, oh

610
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: there's seats right there. That's a really that's a shot. Well,

611
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: the disrespect to the royals, I'm shocked at what a

612
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: good deal that is. That's right next to the royals,

613
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,400

640
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: once on seat geek. Oh, by the way, speaking of

641
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: speaking of Lakers tickets, pal, So here's the deal. Maybe

642
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: maybe we got to keep our fingers crossed on the

643
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: bracket falling right, and we have to keep our fingers

644
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: crossed on the dates working. But if there is a

645
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 1: Lakers Round two game in Houston, kind of midway point

646
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: LA to Houston, maybe we do a little what's right

647
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: family meet up? Oh yeah, that Rockets playoff game if

648
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: because the I'm not gonna it's just too hard for

649
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: me to get to LA and do the show and

650
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But Lakers Rockets would be awesome.

651
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 3: That would be really awesome.

652
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're listen, this is something you'll learn because

653
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: demands filing his taxes today because today is the deadline. Uh,

654
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: since you're a professional broadcaster, Now that's what if you

655
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: were to do that, that's a tax right off work.

656
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: I had to go, oh, yeah, it's a rite off,

657
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: like Kramer, just write it all off. All right, let's

658
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: go to the other playoff series.

659
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're waiting for the play in to figure

660
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 2: out what the rest of the series are going to

661
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: look like. Across the league, but the rest of the

662
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: list set in the first round on the on the

663
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: West side, we've got the Lakers versus Minnesota, We've got

664
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 2: Denver versus the Clippers, and then on the East you've

665
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: got the Knicks versus Detroit and Indiana versus Milwaukee.

666
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm gonna spend the most time on Denver Clippers.

667
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: We already did Lakers, Timberwolves, and by the way, in

668
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,240
Speaker 1: about ten minutes, we're gonna do my full NBA Awards ballot,

669
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: so stick around for that. Let me go to the

670
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: East first. I just want Milwaukee to win. I don't

671
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: Indiana should win. That they should, and Indiana has been

672
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: the more consistent team. Indiana's been, honestly, the more impressive team.

673
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:55,240
Speaker 1: Indiana right now is the healthier team. But do you realize, demons,

674
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: that Jannis has not won a playoff game, has not

675
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: been on the court for a playoff win since that

676
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: unbelievable forty and eleven to go up three to two

677
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 1: on the Celtics in twenty twenty two. Yeah, the next game,

678
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: Giannis was just as good forty four and twenty, But

679
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 1: that was Tatum's best game of his career up to that. Point,

680
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: then they lost Game seven. Then the next year he

681
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: got hurt during the playoffs and miss games, and then

682
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: last year was out. He has not won a playoff

683
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: game since that game when it looked like they were

684
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: going to defend their title. Not a game, forget a series,

685
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: a game. He is having another unbelievable year. I would

686
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: like to see him if he could just throw the

687
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: team on his back and get them back to round

688
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: two and then throw a scare into Cleveland. So I

689
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: the anally, go at, what did you say?

690
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 3: Though?

691
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that he'll leave this summer. Maybe,

692
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean maybe maybe, I don't know. I so Indiana

693
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: is the smart pick, but I'm going with my heart

694
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: and just saying I want Giannis to do it, and

695
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: I'd go with Milwaukee there nixt Detroit. I disagree with

696
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: the DraftKings odds on this. So they have the Knicks

697
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: as huge favorites. Oh that's funny. They that's sorry, I

698
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: just got an email that was not meant for me.

699
00:46:52,800 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: I well, that's no, it's it's it doesn't matter. I

700
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: so they are. Look, I was looking at my phone.

701
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to pull up the exact line that is

702
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: really sorry that the exact line. I think the Knicks

703
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: are minus four hundred in the series. Let me make

704
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: sure that is correct. But series markets on DraftKings Knicks

705
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: or minus four hundred Detroit's plus three ten. I think

706
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: that's too at that price. I think Detroit is a

707
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: better bet, but I think the Knicks are gonna win.

708
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,919
Speaker 1: I just don't think that Detroit is a push over

709
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: the way that market would say it is. But I

710
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: expect the Knicks to win. And then we have what

711
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: should be an absolute all out war in Round one

712
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: Denver against the Clippers. Now it struck me as noteworthy

713
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 1: demands that Jamal Murray's hamstring was just lingering, and Jamal

714
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: Murray's ham was such a problem that Michael Malone all

715
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden was like, listen, we hope he's back

716
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. And then Michael Malone got fired and

717
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray's hamstring was healthy enough to play a couple

718
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: days later. That struck me as like nobody if people

719
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: are surprised by the Malone firing and nobody, And again

720
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not making any allegations, but the sequence of events

721
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: there to me is a noteworthy one. But with Jamal

722
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: Murray back, and with Joker playing like this, and with

723
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: the Nuggets seemingly, you know, having I guess a bit

724
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: of a cloud lifted, maybe they feel scary. The Clippers,

725
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: on the other hand, look abjectly terrifying. Hardin was the

726
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: best player on the court for Clippers Warriors. He was

727
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: unbelievable in overtime. He was thirty nine and ten, and

728
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: Kawhi was sensational on both ends. Zubots has been great

729
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: all year, all year, and uh Norman Powell was the

730
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: guy everyone was playing their tiny violins for because Lebron

731
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: stole his All Star spot and they've gotten excellent coach

732
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: in Tyler. So this is the hardest series to pick. However,

733
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: when you add to the fact that Denver has home court,

734
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: Denver has the best player in the world, and the

735
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: Clippers have playoff Harden, I'm going to go Denver in

736
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: a seven game classic, Denver to win the series. And

737
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: let me check again. Let me check this as well.

738
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: I hadn't looked at it yet. The Clippers plus a

739
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: game and a half, meaning the Clippers to either win

740
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,760
Speaker 1: the series or lose in seven, is only minus two twenty.

741
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: That's somewhat attractive to me because I do think that

742
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: the Clippers could win, but I if they don't, I

743
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: do think it goes seven, but I probably would just

744
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: take Denver. Denver to win the series on DraftKings is

745
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: minus one thirty five. That feels about right, very very close.

746
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: But best player in the world gonna get rested. I'm

747
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: not even gonna bring up the Qui injury stuff because

748
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: you're just not rooting for it. Uh. But it also

749
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: makes them a harder team to bet on, and Harden

750
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs is a real thing. So that's that's

751
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: to me. I like the Lakers and a hard fall

752
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: but relatively quick series. Denver in an absolute classic, the

753
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: Knicks to win, but not in four or five, and

754
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks in seven, because why not. That's how I

755
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: feel about the matchups that we have right now. All right,

756
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: let's do the Suns real quick and then get to

757
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: my awards ballot.

758
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, after just one season, head coach Mike Budenholzer has

759
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 2: been fired from the Suns. They finished this year thirty

760
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 2: six and forty six and have now had three coaches

761
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: in three years. Do you think that this Phoenix stint

762
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: is gonna hurt Katie's legacy, which surely didn't help it.

763
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this man, basketball is so crazy, and

764
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: this is one of the things I love about it.

765
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 1: But I was just talking about Janice's You know how

766
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: quickly it happened for Yannis like that. They just went

767
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: from being the defending champs, up three to two one

768
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: Boston home Game six, Giannis drops forty. They lose. Anyway,

769
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: he hasn't won a playoff game since then. Think about

770
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: if you are the Phoenix Suns. You're the Phoenix Suns,

771
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: you're up two one in the NBA Finals. You're it's

772
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, You're in Millwall like you're up two

773
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: oh technically, but get you get throttled in game three.

774
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: That's supposed to happen. You're up to one in the finals,

775
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:57,879
Speaker 1: and you have a chance to win game three and

776
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: go or game four, pardon me, and go up four

777
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: games to three games to one, and it goes Booker

778
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 1: missed jumper, Giannie is huge block on eight and Chris

779
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: Paul turnover, Devin Booker miss lay up and all of

780
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's a two to two series. And then

781
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, it's a two to two series. We're

782
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: all right. We're not exactly where we want it to be,

783
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: but we're all right. Game five, it's it's coming down

784
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: to the final minutes. You make a furious comeback after

785
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: being down twelve in the fourth quarter. You have the

786
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: ball down one twenty seconds left, Holiday rips, Devin Booker

787
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: throws the oop to Yana, the Bucks win. Giannis drops fifty.

788
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: Then a madman buys your team, and now you're just

789
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: on your fourth coach in three years. You've traded away everything.

790
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: You're on an apron. Hell, Bradley Beal is pissed because

791
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: budenholtzers like play like. Drew Holliday's like, how dare you?

792
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: I'm Bradley Beal. Kevin Durant, You've got to trade him

793
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,240
Speaker 1: just to You were this close the year after winning

794
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: the championship, you're the one seed. By the way salign

795
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: immediately went away, you're the one seed. Let's go back

796
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: to that real quick. What happened there again? You're this

797
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: close to winning a championship. You don't you come back

798
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: the next year you're even better. You find yourself, uh

799
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: up three to one on the Dallas Mavericks. I'm sorry,

800
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,720
Speaker 1: up three to two, you blow them out in Game five,

801
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 1: by thirty, by thirty, you blow them out. You're gonna

802
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: go back to the conference finals. You're gonna play the Warriors,

803
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, Steph Curry. It's gonna be great. And then

804
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: Game six, Luca goes crazy, thirty three, eleven and eight,

805
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: All right, doesn't matter. Game seven's in our building, no problem.

806
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: And Game seven the score is fifty seven twenty seven

807
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: at halftime, and Luca has twenty seven by himself, and

808
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: Devin Booker won't look him in the eye. And now

809
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: you're just ruined. So it's less about Durant and more

810
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: about that franchise just falling off a cliff. And as

811
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: far as where Durant's gonna go, We're gonna have plenty

812
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: of time to talk about that over the next few weeks.

813
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into it right now, but it

814
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: this did not go the way he had hoped. He

815
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: forced his way to a team that had just been

816
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: to a finals and the previous year the best record

817
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: in basketball, and the team won one playoff round. Ever,

818
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,919
Speaker 1: they lost in round two, they lost in round one.

819
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 1: They missed the playoffs just brutal, just absolutely brutal. The

855
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: then we'll get to our f one minute and some

856

Speaker 1: listener questions.

857
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still don't have the ballot, but we're just

858
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 2: gonna do this for practice sake, but we'll get you

859
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 2: there someday. For first, off, you've got your MVP at one,

860
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 2: You've got SGA two yek.

861
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go through who I have. But the the

862
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: so MVP to me is quite simple, and I have

863
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: been sorry, Daniel, really, I have found it unbelievable the

864
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: number of people who have just decided all of the

865
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: rules that I laid the groundwork for last year no

866
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: longer apply. And so for me, the only question for

867
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: MVP is the fifth spot. One through four are pretty obvious.

868
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 1: Shay is the league MVP. He's thirty three a game

869
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: on a sixty eight win team. Joker should be the

870
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: unanimous second place MVP guy. He's thirty a game with

871
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: a triple double carrying a team that is terrible defensively.

872
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: Some of that's on him and just fired their coach.

873
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Giannis is third, Tatum is fourth, and if you want

874
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: to say Tatum's third, Giannis is fourth, that's fine. I

875
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: think what Giannis has done, especially despite Dame being out,

876
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: is remarkable. But that's a debate. And then for fifth place,

877
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:26,600
Speaker 1: it was a debate between the following Donovan Caid Edwards

878
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: and Lebron and I still want well, I'll talk about

879
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: All NBA first team because my one through five, my

880
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: MVP ballot is not my first team All NBA, and

881
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: I'll explain that in a minute. But my fifth place

882
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: spot goes to Lebron. And it goes to Lebron because

883
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: despite the injury, still played seven games. He seamlessly did

884
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: what a lot of people thought he either wouldn't be

885
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: willing to or able to. Which is fit with Luca.

886
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 1: People are recreating history that, oh, the Lakers were headed

887
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: for the play in before the Luca trade. The Lakers

888
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: were the four seed the day Luca made his debut

889
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: with the team. They stayed even though Anthony Davis had

890
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: gotten hurt. They were on a winning streak when Luca

891
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: first got to the team. They're only real losing this

892
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 1: year happened surrounding Lebron's injury. Lebron was a Swiss Army

893
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: knife defensively once they got Luca and honestly once Ad

894
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: went down. They are the three seed in a loaded

895
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Western conference. They were only Oklahoma. The city was better

896
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 1: this year against the best ten teams in basketball Lebron's

897
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: been the through line of it all. I have him

898
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: his fifth place in MVP now to the top of

899
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: the ballot. So here's why I find these folks who

900
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: are now saying they are going to vote for Joker

901
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: to be so disingenuous, and what they simply should say

902
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: is he's my favorite player. He's the best player in

903
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: the league, so I'm voting for him. Last year, the

904
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: numbers for Joker v. Luca were not close. I will

905
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: remind you of them. Okay. Last year, Luca averaged thirty

906
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: four nine and nine. He won the scoring title on

907
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: good efficiency. He averaged thirty four points, nine point two rebounds,

908
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: nine point eight assists, so basically thirty four nine to ten.

909
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: The league MVP was Nikola Jokic, who averaged seven fewer

910
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: points twenty six and a half, three more rebounds twelve

911
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: and a half, and one fewer assists nine And it

912
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: wasn't close. Luka got four first place votes, and the

913
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: argument was purely well, Jokers team won fifty seven games,

914
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Luca's team won fifty and Luca was not very good.

915
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Even though the team was fine defensively, Luca was not

916
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: very good defensively. Those same people now this year are

917
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: saying throw those rules out. And even though Shay's team

918
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: has won sixty eight games and Jokers team won fifty,

919
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: the same exact number Lucas team won last year. I

920
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: think Joker's gonna get it because I've never seen an

921
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: offensive season like this. And my question is, didn't you

922
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: kind of see an offensive season like this last year

923
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 1: by a guy who got four first place votes? Again,

924
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Luca last year was thirty four nine and ten. Joker

925
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: this year is thirty Let me get yeah, twenty nine

926
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: point six called thirty thirteen and ten. So four or

927
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: fewer points four more rebounds on a team that won

928
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: the same amount of games. And so that now you

929
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: might say, Nick, last year were aren't you a guy

930
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 1: that was arguing for Luca. Wouldn't that then follow that

931
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: this year you should be arguing for a Joker one

932
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: hundred percent if one of two things were true. One,

933
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: I had an actual vote and it was impacting it,

934
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: so I must vote with consistency or two. And this

935
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: is more importantly and really the reasoning. I do feel

936
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: like the previous winner winners, but certainly the most recent

937
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: year continues to set the precedent for the voting public

938
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: because it is an undefined award. So last year when

939
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: a guy with fifty wins who's playing in the four

940
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: to five game, who averaged thirty four to nine to ten,

941
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: got four of one hundred votes because we said best

942
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: player on the best team with really good stats is

943
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: going to run away with it, to then not give

944
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Shay when Shae is again, it's like Shaye's averaging twenty

945
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: five a game, He's thirty three, five and six with

946
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: excellent defense on a sixty eight win team. And the

947
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: history of guys on teams who have won sixty eight

948
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:24,919
Speaker 1: plus games, all of them every team that has ever

949
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: won sixty eight plus. Steph won MVP, Jordan won MVP

950
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: the sixty nine win Lakers did not have the league MVP.

951
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Kareem won it in seventy two, but that is because

952
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: two Lakers split votes. Wilt and West finished third and second.

953
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: That's why the Lakers didn't have one. The who are

954
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: the other ones? Dave Cowen's on the sixty eight win

955
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Celtics won MVP, Jordan won sixty nine games and shamefully

956
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: didn't win it ninety seven as the voters got sick

957
01:06:58,080 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: with giving it to him, gave it to Carl Malone.

958
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: But it's just folks need to just say I like

959
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: Joker the most, so even though his coach got fired

960
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,520
Speaker 1: and his defense has been bad, and even though last

961
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: year was about wins, this year it's about raw stats.

962
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna lie. I just think it's I

963
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: think Shay's the MVP, not to All NBA. So again

964
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't have an actual vote, but and I know

965
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: they changed the rules. I want my All NBA First

966
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Team at the very least to be two guards, two

967
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: forwards in a center, and I want all of my

968
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: All NBA teams to at least be credible teams you

969
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: could roll out on a basketball court. So even though

970
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: I had Lebron as my fifth place in MVP voting,

971
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: I do not have him as All NBA First Team.

972
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:52,439
Speaker 1: I gave that to Donovan. So I want my two

973
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: guards to be Shayan Donovan, my two forwards Gihonnyson Tata,

974
01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: my center Joker. Second team All NBA for me was

975
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 1: very simple. My two guards are Stephan ant Cade's technically

976
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: a guard, but he's tall enough we can just put

977
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: him in kind of that point forward spot. He and

978
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Lebron are second team and alburn Shingoon, who was the

979
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: best player on a Rockets team that was the second seed.

980
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: He is second Team All NBA, Third Team All NBA,

981
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: with apologies to Tyrese Halliburton. Halliburton had his spots stolen

982
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: in Game eighty two Demons by James Harden thirty nine

983
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: to ten to lock up the five seed and stay

984
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 1: out of the play in. So it's Jalen Brunson, James Harden,

985
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams as a forward. Because your team wins sixty

986
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: eight games, it's not just one guy. Carl Anthony Towns

987
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 1: is the other forward and Evan Mobley as the other center. Again,

988
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: that team wons what sixty four they need someone other

989
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: than just it. My Defensive Player of the Year was

990
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,839
Speaker 1: not difficult for me. I think Draymond really hurt himself

991
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. It is Evan Mobley,

992
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 1: my sixth man.

993
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 3: Of the year. The mobiley thing.

994
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: You have him as your defensive Player of the Year,

995
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 2: but he's only in your third team All NBA.

996
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that happens sometimes. The where in hell there

997
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: have been years defensive Player of the Year didn't even

998
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,919
Speaker 1: make any All NBA Team. I don't think Marcus Smart

999
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: made an All NBA team when he won it, I

1000
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know if Tony Allen. Did Tony

1001
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: Allen ever win Defensive Player of the Year. I don't remember,

1002
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: but that happened sometimes. But I think he's the defensive

1003
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: player of the year. Sixth Man of the Year is

1004
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: Malik Beasley. Just an absolute flamethrower off the bench, and

1005
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:48,640
Speaker 1: I guess somewhat controversial. Most improved. I think it's if

1006
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: it's a zubots I almost had zubots On as my

1007
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: on my All NBA team. He jumped his scoring by

1008
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: fifty percent over his career. He's been great eight defensively,

1009
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: Clippers have been excellent, He's been huge. I think he's

1010
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: the most improved player, even though he's old and it

1011
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: usually doesn't go to old guys. Clutch Player of the

1012
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: Year is Lebron. Lebron's four the only player in the

1013
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: league with four hundred, one hundred, one hundred and the fourth.

1014
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: Lebron's fourth quarter plus minus and the Lakers record in

1015
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and his assistant turnover ratio is better

1016
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: than either of the previous Clutch Player of the Year

1017
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: winners and Stephan Ant and I understand Jalen Brunson's clutch

1018
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: numbers are going to probably make Jalen Brunts win this award.

1019
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 1: That is in part because they do not have clutch

1020
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: numbers for defense in the clutch, where Jalen was lacking

1021
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 1: obviously because of his size. I think Lebron's clutch Player

1022
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: of the Year Rookie of the Year is very very simple.

1023
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: Stefan Cassel is going to be close to unanimous. Well,

1024
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Resa Chale gets some votes, and I think Coach of

1025
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 1: the Year demons is Ima Udoka getting this Rockets team

1026
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: to the two season when Jalen Green's a nice player.

1027
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: Amon Thompson's gonna be an awesome player, but he's very young.

1028
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: I think im Udoka deserves Coach of the Year. So

1029
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: those are my ballots and my full NBA awards, all right,

1030
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:18,560
Speaker 1: it makes sense to everybody?

1031
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 3: Makes it makes sense?

1032
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: I uh so? I before we get to the listener

1033
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:30,759
Speaker 1: questions back after her spring break with our F one minute,

1034
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,879
Speaker 1: if you're a new viewer listener, my goddaughter Sierra Fidel

1035
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:39,759
Speaker 1: is our F one correspondent. She is back updating us

1036
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: on what has happened in Formula one over the last

1037
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Here is Sierra.

1038
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, welcome back to the F one minute with

1039
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 4: me Sierra, so let's talk all things bor Rain GP.

1040
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 4: So it's been called the best race of the season

1041
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 4: so far, even with the chaotic technical difficulties, but before

1042
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 4: down twenty more to go. Unlike the circuit last week

1043
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 4: in Suzuka, here in Moraine, the track seriously promotes overtaking

1044
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 4: and that's pretty much what we saw throughout the entire race.

1045
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 4: On the first lap, a big headline falling quality was

1046
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 4: Oscar Piastre, starting from pole position for the second time

1047
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 4: this season. He was able to keep his position, but

1048
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 4: the rest of them pretty much played musical chairs around

1049
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 4: the first corners, but it was pretty entertaining to say

1050
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 4: the least. The conditions and the tire strategies were a

1051
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,520
Speaker 4: big talking point of this race. With the cooler conditions,

1052
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 4: most cars started with sauces, but the Ferrari boys started

1053
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,839
Speaker 4: on mediums. It kind of sucked for them at first,

1054
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 4: but after a few laps around the track, the tires

1055
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 4: came alive for them and they were doing pretty good.

1056
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 4: Piastre controlled this race pretty much the entire time, however,

1057
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 4: with sizeable gaps to the front at times Russell leclerk

1058
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 4: and for a small fraction of a moment Hamilton was

1059
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 4: even fighting for a win. Notice how I did not

1060
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 4: mention Verstapan however, Yeah, that's because he was struggling pretty

1061
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 4: much the entire time with no grip, going into the

1062
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 4: pits multiple times to switch out time and reporting issues

1063
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 4: with his car. And there was even a safety car,

1064
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 4: but it was from debris, not exactly a crash, so

1065
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 4: it wasn't all that notable. But at the restart Pastree

1066
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:13,600
Speaker 4: was still ahead, and Norris on fresher tires managed to

1067
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 4: pass both mcclerk and Hamilton, but not Russell in the

1068
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 4: good old Mercedes. In the end, PS three got another

1069
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 4: win under his belt, finishing fifteen seconds ahead of everyone else,

1070
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 4: Russell and P two and Norris in P three. Some

1071
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 4: honorable mentions that I cannot leave out is the fact

1072
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 4: that has finished with double points this weekend, which is

1073
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 4: a big accomplishment for a team that maybe scores one

1074
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 4: or two points here or there between two drivers. Alpine

1075
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 4: showed promising pace pretty much throughout the entire weekend, and

1076
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 4: Yuki Sonoda bagging points for Red Bull Lets Go, has

1077
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 4: the second Red Bull seat curse lifted just yet. Only

1078
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 4: time will tell. But key takeaways McLaren is a team

1079
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 4: to beat. That's pretty obvious. That's been so for a

1080
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,480
Speaker 4: while now. But McLaren is a team to beat. Pastre

1081
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 4: is supposed more of a threat than ever, especially to

1082
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 4: his teammate now he has he has more wins than

1083
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 4: Lando and he's threatening his position in the Drivers' championship.

1084
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 4: Little by little, Ferrari is showing better days. Hopefully within

1085
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 4: the next few races they can have their breakout performance

1086
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 4: and maybe, just maybe one of them can be on

1087
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 4: the podium.

1088
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:18,759
Speaker 1: Please.

1089
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,040

1096
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:41,120

1097
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: he couldn't watch Bryce, and so I texted him, was like, hey,
