And honestly, like 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 5: you just said, I'll echo this sentiment, Happy Mother's Day 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 5: to all the moms. We wouldn't be here without you. 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 3: Yes, that's a common denominator. All of us have a mom. Yes, yeah, 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 3: well we all have a mother, you know. So no, 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: today my kids are with their mom, are going to 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: tweet her to a nice lunch. 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 5: Today, my kids are not with their mom. So her 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 5: wish was to be away from her children. And you 24 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 5: got to remember, though they're four and seven, yeh, so 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 5: I mean she gets plenty of them. So I sent 26 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 5: her away to a resort with one of her friends 27 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 5: and they're having a good time and it's going to 28 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 5: be good because we're going to do dinner later on. 29 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: Well, I got to share a story. My mom passed 30 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: away back in twenty fifteen. I miss her dearly, but 31 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: obviously she's always with me at all times. But talking 32 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 3: about a unconditional love situation, which I'm a big believer in, 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: I never believe a child should have to earn the 34 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 3: love of their parents. But you know, everyone teach his own. 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: But my mom was not a big sports fan to 36 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: say the least, and she had designs on me being 37 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: like either an attorney or a doctor, something along those lines. 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: And instead of a failure Steven exactly. 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: But I'll tell you where, my dad told me the 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: greatest story. So the first year I was working for 41 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 3: the Raiders back in nineteen eighty four, we had a 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: late season Monday night game on the road against the 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: Lions at the Old Silver Dome, and my sister had 44 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: already moved out, so it was an emptiness of my 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: mom and dad. And my dad just got home from work, 46 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: and normally my mom would greet him at the door, 47 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: you know, she was that kind of you know, wife 48 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: and mom and everything else. But he walks in the 49 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 3: door and he where are you? You know type of thing, 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: and she's like quiet, quiet, and he's like, what's going on? 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: And she goes, I'm watching this this football game, and 52 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: I'm looking for Steve. I'm looking for She thinks that 53 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 3: the Monday night football broadcast is going to isolate a 54 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: shot on me in the booth, but it was. My 55 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: dad had a good laugh. He's like, all right, I 56 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: think she's accepted the fact you're working for a football team, 57 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 3: and you know it's her son, and so she's supporting him. 58 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: But she was very disappointed that they didn't do an 59 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: isole on me during that Monday night broadcast. 60 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 5: They should have. I still say that what we need 61 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 5: to do more of is show the PR team with 62 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 5: all these football teams exactly. So yeah, with that, how 63 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 5: about the schedule? Elease? We saw the NFL take still 64 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 5: a couple of headlines, even though it's a busy NBA 65 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 5: postseason and obviously we have the baseball season up and going, 66 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 5: but schedule lease comes out and you got a lot 67 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 5: of primetime games for the New York Jets. Yes, all 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 5: of a sudden, the Jets are our marquee team. 69 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned this because Bucket and I obviously Bucket, 70 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: by the way, was first here. This first time he's 71 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: been in the studio. Now I want to sort of 72 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: set the scene for you here in our brand new studios, 73 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: which any little kinks we had the first week are gone. However, 74 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 3: you and I are sitting in different seats, and you're 75 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: probably looking at me like, why are you sitting there 76 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: when you're always to my left and now you're to 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: my right. 78 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 5: I completely yeah, I didn't think of it at all. 79 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: Actually, well, the reason is I sat in the seat 80 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: last week and everything worked. 81 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: Oh so you're superstitious, so everything works. 82 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: When I walked in, I honestly I sat down and 83 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 5: was like, oh, maybe this is where I said. 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 85 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: Anyway, no, I you know, it's funny we talk about 86 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: this NFL schedule, and you're right, the Jets, a team 87 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: that's had the longest playoff drought currently by five years, 88 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: of any NFL team has five prime time games. Not 89 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: only get five primetime games, but how about getting to 90 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 3: host ye the very first Monday night game against the 91 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills. 92 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: You realize that could be a train wreck for the Jets. 93 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, okay, So the culture is intact in place 94 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 5: in Buffalo, obviously, Sean McDermott, Josh Allen, the combo there 95 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 5: has had a lot of success over the years. But 96 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 5: I will say this, a culture has been built in 97 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 5: New York, like the Jets culture to me was a 98 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: quarterback away from working last season. That's good defense. I 99 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: think that's an offense that strives to be better than 100 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 5: they were. I think their problem was they had They 101 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 5: were a little listless because they were lacking quarterback leadership. 102 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 5: And then obviously their offense wasn't as efficient or productive 103 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 5: because they were missing a star or even a really 104 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 5: good player at quarterback. You don't need a star to 105 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 5: make a playoff run these days. I mean, fourteen teams 106 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 5: get in seven per conference. You just need to have 107 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: a really good quarterback to get in, like a Kirk Cousins. 108 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 5: He's a really good quarterback. He's a top of the 109 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 5: half of the league quarterback. Consistently, you know, so he'll 110 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 5: he'll get the Vikings into the playoffs if if they 111 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 5: have a good enough team around him. Same with Daniel Jones. 112 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 5: I mean is he great, No? But is he really good? 113 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 6: Yeah? 114 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 5: I mean he's a top half quarter good enough, good 115 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 5: enough you need good enough. 116 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: I mean, if you have make the playoffs thirty two, 117 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 3: it's almost half. 118 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 5: You need a top half quarterback in order to get 119 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 5: into the NFL postseason. And so with Aaron Rodgers, and 120 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 5: assuming he doesn't get hurt, which has to be the 121 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 5: assumption in the preseason, and assuming he doesn't drop off 122 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 5: Planet Earth in terms of his abilities, I get it. 123 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 5: I think the New York Jets are going to be 124 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 5: pretty damn good. I said this yesterday morning, and I 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 5: think people were looking at their radios and like going 126 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 5: cross eyede. But I think the New York Jets could 127 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 5: potentially win a Super Bowl this season. That's how much 128 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 5: respect I have for Robert Sala, the team that they 129 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 5: have built, and then now adding Aaron Rodgers to the fall. 130 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: All right, Well, this is the same rich Orenberger who, 131 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: by the way, and I can be an eyewitness to 132 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: this ear witness who predicted that when Tom Brady joined 133 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers his first year, he predicted the 134 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 3: Buccaneers who win the Super Bowl before the season began. 135 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 2: Okay, so you nail that one. 136 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: By the way, it wasn't just the maybe eye opening 137 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: the Jets getting all these primetime games, a team that's 138 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: been out of the playoffs as long as they've been, 139 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: but certainly that opening game where the Chiefs are hosting. 140 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: Dare I say that the Detroit Lions of this so much? 141 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: Tan I do too. 142 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 3: I mean, and again, if you're not paying attention to 143 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: the Lions, and really there's not a lot of reason too, 144 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: based on their history. Having not put it this way, 145 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 3: since they won their last NFL championship in nineteen fifty seven, 146 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: they've won a single playoff game. Yeah one, in my lifetime, 147 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: they've won one playoff game. But this is a Lions 148 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 3: team that had the third highest scoring offense in the 149 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: NFC a year ago, a team that finished the season 150 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: on a high note by knocking out Aaron Rodgers and 151 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: the Packers out of the playoffs. And they're legit. I mean, 152 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: Dan Campbell's a guy that got a lot of notoriety 153 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: on the Hard Knocks show, and he held it together. 154 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: This team just couldn't find a way to win, and 155 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they could. And you know, 156 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: Jared Goff to me still should have been comeback player 157 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: of the Year. And I say that with all due 158 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: respect to Gino Smith because I don't know what Gino 159 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: Smith came back from. 160 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: You know, he might have been the breakout player of 161 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: the year. But you know, Jared Goff was a Pro 162 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: Bowl quarterback, he was a Super. 163 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: Bowl quarterback, fell off the earth, and then came back 164 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 3: in a big way for the Lions. So I like 165 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: the league, you know, giving Detroit this opportunity, not gonna 166 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: be an easy game obviously, but an opportunity to be 167 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: acknowledged for what they are right now. In my opinion 168 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 3: and an opinion a lot of people, they are the 169 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 3: team to beat in the NFC North this year. 170 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: Well, look, the NFC North without Aaron Rodgers gets a 171 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 5: lot more playable for these other teams, the also rans 172 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 5: while Aaron Rodgers was there and Detroit good time to 173 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 5: get good. They're good now? 174 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: Are they great? 175 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: No? 176 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 5: Their defense leaves a lot to be desired and they 177 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: need to fix those problems. And they didn't address it 178 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 5: as much as I thought they would have at the 179 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 5: top of their draft, but they did make some additions. 180 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 5: The reality is, though that's a winnable division for any 181 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: of those teams, Detroit just seems like they're the closest. Now, 182 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: we'll see what Jordan Love can do in the NFC North. 183 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 5: That's gonna be a storyline will obviously follow, and that's 184 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 5: a lot of pressure put on a guy replacing a great, 185 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 5: a Hall of Famer. This is the same conversation we 186 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 5: had about Mac Jones, so we'll see what happens there. 187 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: But yeah, the Detroit Lions play an exciting brand of football, 188 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 5: high scoring. They don't play a ton of defense, so 189 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 5: you know their opponent's going to score a lot too, 190 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 5: and that's kind of been the Chiefs. Are they a 191 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 5: terrible defense. 192 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: No. 193 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 5: Over the last three years, you know, they give up 194 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 5: a ton of yards. They've been stingier on points, so 195 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 5: they're not allowing teams to score against them at will. 196 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 5: But theyll this will be a game that's going to 197 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 5: be played all over the field. It's going to be 198 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 5: a track meet, and I think I think that works 199 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 5: well for the NFL. In fact, if you go to Vegas, 200 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: and you look at the point totals for opening week, 201 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 5: the Chiefs Detroit Lions has the highest total. Right now, 202 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 5: you can bet on the opening week of the NFL 203 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 5: right now. 204 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: And by the way, Bucky yesterday I asked him about 205 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: the drafting and Jamior Gibbs. You know, a lot of 206 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 3: people were critical twelfth overall pick a running back who 207 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: you know, not at every down back. He's one of 208 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 3: those versatile backs. He can you know, he's an outstanding 209 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 3: receiver coming out of the backfield. 210 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: And Bucky defended it. 211 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: He says, look, people are gonna come back after they 212 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: see Gibbs and the way they're going to use them 213 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: in this offense, saying we were wrong. That was a 214 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 3: great pick because really, when you think about it, even 215 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: though they have prolific offensive numbers, they still need pieces offensively. Now, 216 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: everyone said, well, their defense is horrible, which it is, 217 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: but you can only do one thing. But they felt 218 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 3: like Gibbs was a guy that's going to give them 219 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 3: a lot of versatility out of the backfield, is going 220 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 3: to add to that offense. So we'll get much more 221 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 3: into the NFL schedule that came out. Obviously, we got 222 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: a game seven coming up today between the Celtics and 223 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: the seventy six ers. Bo Are we going to have 224 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 3: John Palm Morosi here at the top of the show. 225 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: Is that what I'm looking at here? 226 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: Really? All right? 227 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 3: So we're gonna check in not only to get a 228 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 3: little inside on what's happening in Major League Baseball, but 229 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: also the Stanley Cup playoffs. We're coming down the wire 230 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 3: in the postseason in the NHL. John Palmer will join 231 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 3: us coming up next. 232 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 233 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: the nation.

I wish all 257 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 8: the same to everyone out there as well. 258 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: All right, before we get to Major League Baseball, you know, 259 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: I got to jump in on the NHL, the kracking 260 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 3: trying to eliminate Edmonton, and of course tomorrow we got 261 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: a Game seven, excuse me, the Golden Knights trying to 262 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: eliminate and then of course the Game seven with a crack. 263 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: And I mean if we have a Stanley Cup Final 264 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: between the Kraken and the Golden Knights, how does. 265 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 2: That sit you think? 266 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 3: With the NHL and the p of such a Stanley 267 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 3: Cup Final. 268 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 8: I think it would be great to have that as 269 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 8: the Western final if you have Seattle in Vegas matching up. 270 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 8: But of course in the East, you've got Carolina and Florida. 271 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 8: Markets that we would have said years ago are not 272 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 8: necessarily the most traditional going back generations. These are not 273 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 8: original six markets. But it really reflects the growth of 274 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 8: the game of hockey around North America. And you see 275 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 8: how much the fan bases in every city really attach 276 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 8: themselves and fall in love with their team. I think 277 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 8: it's really important to make this point that the duration 278 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 8: of time that your city has liked a sport does 279 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 8: not necessarily dictate its passion for it. That's a really 280 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 8: really important distinction, just because if you take it to 281 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 8: a different comparison, just because the US hasn't been a 282 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 8: massive soccer country for as long as Britain or Italy 283 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 8: or Germany does not mean that for the next World 284 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 8: Cup that we were not going to be excited about 285 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 8: the event. We love the event. The same thing is 286 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 8: true in hockey. You see Matthew kud Chuck and that 287 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 8: the proud family of the kuld Chucks, and think about 288 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 8: all they've done in US hockey through the course of 289 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 8: their time in the game, and for Matthew to help 290 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 8: grow the sport in Florida and become a real spokesperson 291 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 8: for that franchise there is just great for the sport 292 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 8: and Carolina Rod Brenda Moore everything he's invested there for 293 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 8: a long time as the head coach, and what a 294 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 8: talented group. They've got a lot of really good defensemen, 295 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 8: including a couple of Americans back there too. So it's 296 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 8: just a really nice set of storylines right now. And yeah, 297 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 8: you don't have the Red Wings or the Maple Leafs 298 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 8: anymore the Canadians, but you've got a lot of really 299 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 8: passionate hockey fans which are driving enthusiasm in this set 300 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 8: of playoffs. And tonight you've got a chance to see 301 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 8: Connor McDavid trying to avoid elimination and see if the 302 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 8: best player of his modern era is able to get 303 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 8: to a Game seven in the Western Conference semifinal. 304 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: Well before that NHL game, we have I have MLB 305 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 5: playing all day today, including what's supposed to be one 306 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 5: of the marquee matchups in Major League Baseball right now 307 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 5: between the Padres and Dodgers, both because this was so 308 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 5: competitive last season, including in the NLDS, that the Padres 309 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 5: were finally able to slay the dragon up the I 310 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 5: five and advanced to the NLCS to later get dispatched 311 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 5: by the Phillies. But it's not it's it's not a 312 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 5: great matchup. The Dodgers are dominating this early this season 313 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 5: so far. Another four to two victory yesterday. They have 314 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 5: Getaway Day, a one ten first pitch on the West Coast. 315 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 5: And I'm looking at some of these stats for the Padres. 316 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 5: Two toh three is what they're batting with runners in 317 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 5: scoring position. This I read from an article this morning. 318 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 5: The Padres scored fewer than three runs in the game yesterday. 319 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 5: That was the seventeenth time this season they've done that. 320 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 5: Their offense is just dreadful. Only the A's have done 321 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 5: this more often than the Padres. The A's are spending 322 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 5: sixty some part of sixty million dollars on their payroll. 323 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 5: The Padres are spending two hundred and forty six million dollars. 324 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 5: So how do they fix this problem because the majority 325 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 5: of that money is being spent on their lineup and 326 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 5: they're just not producing any offense. 327 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 8: Well to me, Rich and this is obviously more than 328 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 8: more than one player, more nuanced and complicated story than that. 329 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 8: But let's remember who finished second last year in the 330 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 8: National League MVP voting. Manny Machado, one of the best 331 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 8: and most talented players in the sport finish, is second 332 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 8: in the league in MVP voting, and this year is 333 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 8: is batting two thirty seven with a six sixty two 334 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 8: ops and is a below league average hitter. It's very difficult. 335 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 8: I don't care what your payroll is, is difficult to 336 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 8: have a player on your team who has been an 337 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 8: MVP caliber player and you're counting on him for MVP 338 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 8: numbers and he's producing at below league average for the 339 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 8: whole sport as an offensive player. That doesn't work. And 340 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 8: so if he were injured and we were asking the 341 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 8: question of why the Padres aren't the same team, and 342 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 8: the answer would be that they don't have Machado. And 343 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 8: what I'm saying is they don't have the Machado that 344 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 8: they thought they were going to have, and that's I 345 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 8: think a really significant issue. That they do have other problems. 346 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 8: I think Bogarts has cooled off a little bit since 347 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 8: the start of the season. Soto, I think is getting 348 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 8: to be more aggressive now and more productive. The pitching 349 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 8: has been okay, But I would say to you Rich 350 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 8: and Steve, they missed their opportunity. Their opportunity this year 351 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 8: came because the initial phase of the Dodgers season was 352 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 8: pretty disappointing, that they did not have a very good 353 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 8: start of the year at all, and there was an 354 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 8: opening there, whether it's for the d Backs or the 355 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 8: Padres to step in and really take charge. And the 356 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 8: Diamondbacks have been pretty good. But now you're starting to 357 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 8: see the Dodgers get their own and I'm going again. 358 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 8: And we all know that once the Dodgers get going, 359 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 8: it's hard to stop them. And I think that right 360 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 8: now that is the reality for the San Diego Padres. 361 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: Big come for me, hind win for the Yankees yesterday 362 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: against the Rays. 363 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 3: You look at the AL East right now, JP, and 364 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 3: everyone's on pace to win at least eighty nine games 365 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: this year, right, I mean, how's. 366 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 2: This going to shake out this year in the AL East? 367 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 8: Well, here's the interesting part of this, Steve, is that 368 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 8: let's remember that now that we have the change in 369 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 8: schedule format, that it no longer would be accurate or 370 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 8: appropriate for me to say, well, it's all going to 371 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 8: even out, and eventually you're going to have a team 372 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 8: that's decidedly below five hundred playing in the last place, 373 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 8: and someone's going to get cold because of all the 374 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 8: times they play, they play against each other. That's not 375 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 8: the way the schedule works anymore. You've got many, many 376 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 8: more games outside of your division, which means that we 377 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 8: could see it's entirely possible all three wild card teams 378 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 8: come out of the same division. Now, obviously they're still 379 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 8: going to play a lot down the stretch, and so 380 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 8: it's possible that we'll see one team fall off a little. 381 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 8: But guys, this is the best division in the major leagues, 382 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 8: and not by a little, by a lot. The National 383 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 8: League East has had its moments, but the Mets of 384 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 8: this year are not the Mets of last year. Even 385 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 8: the Phillies of this year are not the Phillies of 386 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 8: last year. The Braves are holding up their end of 387 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 8: the bargain. But there is just so much talent right 388 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 8: now in the American League East, and I'm here to 389 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 8: tell you this too. The Rays are about to test 390 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 8: everything that you heard about baseball for generations growing up, 391 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 8: about how you build a successful team. The Rays have 392 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 8: the best starting rotation era in the sport, despite the 393 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 8: fact that their rotation has combined for the fewest innings 394 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 8: in the American League. Usually you associate effective rotations with 395 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 8: rotations that go deep into games. That is not the 396 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 8: way the Rays do things. They are scrambling the normal 397 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 8: ways of doing and arranging your pitching staff, and so 398 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 8: this is where the Rays are going to have. I 399 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 8: believe some struggles going forward. You might see some of 400 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 8: their relievers having very high workloads and maybe their performance 401 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 8: will diminish a little bit. They have already gotten now, 402 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 8: Drew Rasmussen on the sixty day injured list because of 403 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 8: a flexer tenant issue. Shane McClanahan, as you mentioned, he 404 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 8: gave up a six run lead yesterday. They had a 405 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 8: six to nothing lead in the fifth inning with the 406 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 8: American League All Star starter from a year ago on 407 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 8: the mound and lost the baseball game. So they are 408 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 8: by record the best team in the sport, but I 409 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 8: believe that right now they're no longer the best team going. 410 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 8: I like Atlanta a little bit more than Tampa Bay 411 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 8: right now. 412 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 5: Okay, you bring up Tampa Bay, I have to talk 413 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 5: to you about the Baltimore Orioles. Last week we spoke 414 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 5: to you about name a team or teams that are 415 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 5: catching your eye as a better start than you expected 416 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 5: or maybe a stronger roster than expected. The Orioles since 417 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 5: last week spoke, as you pointed out, one of those teams, 418 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 5: they won four straight. I mean, is this sustainable? Like 419 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 5: could this be one of those teams you are talking 420 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 5: about in September and October. 421 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 8: They're a really good team. And the reason why rich 422 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 8: I like them and I like them to actually have 423 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 8: a pretty successful October as well, is they're young, They're 424 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 8: pretty durable, they're pretty athletic, they defend well. They're going 425 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 8: to get better from within by calling guys up who 426 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 8: I think are ready to take on more prominent roles 427 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 8: without having to make big trades for them. And they 428 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 8: also have a sturdy enough farm system to where they 429 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 8: can afford to give up a player or two if 430 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 8: they end up wanting to trade for a uh Lucas 431 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 8: Giolito or an Eduardo Rodriguez during the course of the season. 432 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 8: They are in a really, really good spot. And this 433 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 8: is where listen, I watch the Yankees. I like a 434 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 8: lot of the guys that they've they've put together. They've 435 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 8: got a lot of professional players in that in that room, 436 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 8: but the injuries are going to keep happening for them 437 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 8: because they're an older roster, just like the Mets. It is. 438 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 8: It is completely, in my opinion, disingenuous for any for 439 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 8: any analyst or any executive or team official, whatever it 440 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 8: might be, to say, Wow, we've got we've got a 441 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 8: great team, but we keep getting hurt, uh and and 442 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 8: we can't you know, we've got all these amazing names, 443 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 8: but just as soon as we get all of our 444 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 8: guys ready, then we'll be okay. Well, that's not how 445 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 8: baseball works. It's not about the names of it's not 446 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 8: about their Hall of Fame resume. It's about it's about 447 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 8: how they're playing right now and how what their level 448 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 8: of fitness and form is at the moment. We could 449 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 8: go back and reassemble the two thousand Yankees, but I 450 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 8: don't think they would do very well against the present 451 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 8: day because they're all older players. And I'm not saying 452 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 8: it's to this extent, but it's not a surprise that 453 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 8: Verlander and Suzer have only won a handful of games 454 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 8: for the Mets this season, at least when you consider 455 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 8: how old they are. This is what happens to older players. 456 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 8: And that's why I think, especially in this era of 457 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 8: the pitch timer, you know, one of the things I 458 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 8: think we'll probably realize more and more as time goes on, 459 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 8: it's advantage to the young players. Their bodies are a 460 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 8: little they're a little quicker to recover, and they're also 461 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 8: more use to the playing in this method by virtue 462 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 8: of having come to the minor leagues very recently. So 463 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 8: this is an advantage to the younger players, younger teams. 464 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 8: And that to me right now talks about the Baltimore 465 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 8: Oriols a whole lot. 466 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 5: All Right. 467 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 3: I got to think, in one more quick question, Ronald Acunya, 468 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 3: who's the best player in baseball so far this season? 469 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: Infamous for that signing that eight year, one one hundred 470 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: million dollar contract, which is pennies on the dollar what 471 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 3: the guys are making these days. He's had injuries the 472 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 3: last couple of years. Maybe it was like, hey, maybe 473 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: it's the Braves have been paying the price for a 474 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 3: guy that hasn't been able to stay healthy. But now 475 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 3: he's putting up those kind of numbers that a lot 476 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 3: of people predicted that he would have. He is still 477 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 3: signed to this deal for many years ahead. If he 478 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: has like a huge year, if he has an MVP 479 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 3: season thirty thirty, forty forty, who knows some crazy season 480 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 3: like that. Any chance A Kunya says, yeah, that deal 481 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 3: that we sign doesn't fly anymore, we need a new deal. 482 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: How would the Braves approach something like that? 483 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 8: It's a great question. I don't necessarily see that happening 484 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 8: at the moment. I mean, obviously, first and foremost, my 485 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 8: own personal policy on I'm talking about players and contracts 486 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 8: is when someone offers you a life changing sum of money, 487 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 8: I would never begrudge a player for accepting it. And 488 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 8: I think that's exactly what happened with with Akunya. And 489 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 8: you're right, when he's playing like this, he's he's one 490 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 8: of the three or four best talents in the entire sport. 491 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 8: Do I think he'll he'll challenge and say, hey, we 492 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 8: have to renegotiate right now. I really don't. I just 493 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 8: think that it's not something that we see happen too 494 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 8: often in Major League Baseball. Do they come together and 495 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 8: maybe as time moves forward, have a more comprehensive look 496 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 8: at things and reconfigure some of the deals as other 497 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 8: players have done. I think about Salvador Perez in his 498 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 8: contract with the Royals years ago, perhaps that maybe could 499 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 8: could come up. But I think in general, Steve he's 500 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 8: he's motivated by keeping his focus on the field and 501 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 8: showing that he's one of the very best players in 502 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 8: the game, and maybe in a year like this, the 503 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 8: best player in the game. Obviously Otani's in his own 504 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 8: category in so many ways, but I think Akunya, who's 505 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 8: got a real proud sense of his performance in his 506 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 8: place in the game. He's heard a lot about Otani 507 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 8: and Trout and all the great players of the current times, 508 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 8: Daron Judge, and I think he said, Okay, this is 509 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 8: my time now. I want to have people talking about 510 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 8: me and the way that he's played. From talking to 511 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 8: people around the Braves that I was in Atlanta last week 512 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 8: and they said, he's really taken a more detailed focus 513 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 8: to his preparation and his desire to be great, his 514 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 8: desire to be a Hall of Famer, and we're now 515 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 8: seeing one of the absolute best talents in the game 516 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 8: playing like it on the field every day, and man 517 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 8: is it fun to watch? 518 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: All right? 519 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 3: So Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in your life.

Today in 604 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 4: the NBA, though, we do have an exciting Game seven. 605 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: There's nothing like a Game seven winner. Go home Philadelphia 606 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 4: seventy six Ers and the Boston Celtics. It tips off 607 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 4: at three thirty pm Eastern time.

Josh Naylor 615 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 4: just hit a three run homer for the Guardians and 616 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 4: now they're up four to one.

It's the top of the first 619 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 4: inning and the Braves have already scored one. 620 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 6: Zero is the score. 621 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 4: They are playing in Toronto, guys, we're just getting started. 622 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 3: Back to you, all right, Monsey, thank you very much. 623 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: By the way, We're brought to you by Progressive Insurance. 624 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: Progression makes funding easy and affordable.

Look, the NBA obviously is going to 631 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 3: look into this matter. And the question is when you 632 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 3: have someone that is oblivious apparently wrongdoing, who doesn't feel 633 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: any responsibility to his commitment as an NBA player to 634 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 3: the Memphis Grizzlies franchise. Regardless of how much talent he 635 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 3: has on a basketball court, you know those that are 636 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 3: around him. You know, if you want to live your 637 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: life a certain way, that's great. But if you're employed 638 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 3: by somebody, if they're putting money in your pocket, there 639 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: is an obligation you have to the Grizzlies, to the NBA. 640 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 3: And if you want to forfeit that in order to 641 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 3: live the life that you choose to live, go for it. 642 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 3: But we can't coexist either. You're going to get either 643 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: you're going to change your ways to adhere to rules 644 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: that other players in the league have to adhere to, 645 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: or we're going to cut you loose and then you 646 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: can go do whatever you want to do. I mean, 647 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 3: at some point you got to step in with some 648 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: tough love here on Jan Moran and saying enough's enough, 649 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 3: or it is over your NBA career. 650 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 5: Yes, somebody that he respects, and it doesn't have to 651 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 5: be a parent, but to step up and be the parent. 652 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 5: And it can be a coach in your life. It 653 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 5: can be an older friend who you consider a mentor 654 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 5: an uncle, an actual parent. It could be even a 655 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 5: friend who's even a couple of years, like a couple 656 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 5: of years, you know, maybe just a slightly older friend, 657 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 5: but somebody who's got a little bit more life experience 658 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 5: than Jah, who he trusts, needs to try to get 659 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 5: to him and coach him up a little bit, because 660 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 5: he is a coachable person. You can see it in 661 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 5: his athletic career. It's not just god given talent. This 662 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 5: guy's a smart basketball player. He's learned a lot on 663 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 5: the court, he can learn a lot off the court. 664 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 5: He has that propensity for education. There's no doubt in 665 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 5: my mind. Somebody needs to be that role for him. 666 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 5: Somebody needs to show him the path a little bit. Look, 667 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 5: you know, I didn't learn about my dad growing up 668 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 5: until I was much older, Like he wanted to shield 669 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 5: me from some of the nonsense he got into as 670 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 5: a young man. But you know, he made a lot 671 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 5: of life decisions that he wasn't all that proud of. 672 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 5: But the one thing he didn't want to screw up 673 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 5: is being a being a dad and being a good dad, 674 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 5: and he is. I know. Look, my mom on Mother's 675 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 5: Day had a lot to do with my upbringing. She 676 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 5: was a wonderful person. Is a wonderful person and did 677 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 5: a great job. But my dad. I remember one time 678 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 5: we were getting ready for something. I didn't want to 679 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 5: put on a suit because I was going through that 680 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 5: phase in my childhood where I'm like, I'm damn the man, 681 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 5: I'll do whatever I want. I'll show up to this 682 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 5: church way whatever I want. And he was like, no, 683 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 5: you won't, and he explained to me. He sat me 684 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 5: down to explain this to me. He's like, sometimes in 685 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 5: life you get to do what you want. He's like, 686 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 5: sometimes in life you have to do what everybody else 687 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 5: wants you to do, right, because you're representing more than 688 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 5: just yourself. You're walking into this function representing your family. 689 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 5: You're going to put on a suit because that's how 690 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 5: I'm asking you do. Now. When you're a man, you 691 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 5: can make your own decisions, but right now you're representing us, 692 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 5: So that's what you're gonna do. And dude, it's I mean, 693 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 5: I'm still telling this or in thirty seven that probably 694 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 5: that conversation probably happened when I was twelve or thirteen. 695 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 5: It resonated. I know that John wants to do whatever 696 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 5: he wants. He's a grown man. He has a lot 697 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 5: of money, has a lot of access to a lot 698 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 5: of things. But guess what, you also represent the Memphis Grizzlies. 699 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 5: You also represent every single fan wearing a brand jersey. 700 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 5: You're bigger than yourself. Jah just doesn't get it yet, 701 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 5: and somebody needs to sit down with him and explain 702 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 5: to him. Today you're putting on a suit to go 703 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 5: to church. I'm sorry, It's just one of those experiences 704 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 5: that maybe he hasn't had yet, and maybe we're all 705 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 5: expecting him to be better than this and he just hasn't. 706 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 5: Now again, he's a grown man, so we're gonna hold 707 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,919 Speaker 5: him accountable. But somebody in his life. I mean, if 708 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 5: anybody in his life is listening to the sound of 709 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 5: my voice right now, get a hold of this guy 710 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 5: and try to be that person for him, because he 711 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 5: needs help. 712 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 3: Well, if you're one of those people that is easily 713 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,239 Speaker 3: influenced by people around you, and I can tell you 714 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 3: from my own personal experience that I fell in groups 715 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 3: at times that I look back on like what was 716 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 3: I thinking. That's what he needs to examine. Look at 717 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 3: the people around you. You have a friend that posted 718 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 3: you with a gun knowing that you were remorseful remember all, yeah, 719 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 3: I will never have this will never happen again. 720 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 5: He said, it doesn't represent me, it doesn't represent me. 721 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: You know, you know I've learned. 722 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 3: And then three weeks after, you know done, he's doing 723 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 3: it again with a friend by the way, posting something friend. 724 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 2: So maybe he should alter the company that he keeps. 725 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,479 Speaker 3: In order to take on the straight and narrow, because 726 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 3: obviously he's very influenced by those around him. All right, 727 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 3: coming up on the other side, we're going to get 728 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 3: an early sneak peek, obviously coming up with this Game 729 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 3: seven between the Sixers and the Celtics. But first we're 730 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: going to look back on history being made in the 731 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 3: sports world. History being made in the sports world. This 732 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,359 Speaker 3: is Fox Sports Sunday. 733 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 2: Dave Hartman, Rich Ornberger. 734 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 3: This is Fox Sports Sunday on this Mother's Day, and 735 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 3: we are live from the Tyraq dot Com studios. So yesterday, Rich, 736 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 3: I'm sitting here with Bucky and we're getting near the 737 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 3: top of an hour, and I said, all right, I'm 738 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 3: going to ask something because I don't normally advertise my 739 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: Twitter account at Cannon Hartman, but I wanted to get 740 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 3: some input on whether or not we should make any 741 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 3: mention of what was the pending XFL championship game with 742 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 3: the Arlington Arlington Renegades. Am I right with then Arlington Renegades, Yes, 743 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 3: Arlington Renegades and the d So this is this matchup 744 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,919 Speaker 3: of a four and six team going against a over 745 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 3: definitely a big time Defenders team, And I said, I 746 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 3: want to see if there's any reaction on Twitter, and 747 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 3: all of a sudden I get inundated, like I said, 748 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 3: how many people have actually seen any any even a 749 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 3: second of XFL football this year? And I started getting 750 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 3: all these tweets from people saying, not only have I 751 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 3: seen the XFL, I'm actually on my way to the 752 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 3: game to the Alamo Dome. As it turned out Arlington. 753 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 3: I don't know how many teams in the history of 754 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 3: professional sports have won a championship with a losing record, 755 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 3: but the Renegades did. Was there, So I was like, wow, 756 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 3: I mean that's sort of a story, right, that a 757 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 3: team with a losing record in the regulars season wins 758 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 3: a championship led by a quarterback that you're familiar with 759 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 3: from the old Alliance of American Footballlie Perez, who has 760 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 3: played in seemingly every league possible to keep his dream alive. 761 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 3: So I want to acknowledge again the Renegades with Bob 762 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 3: Stoops by the way as their coach, to show you 763 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,760 Speaker 3: how crazy it was. In their ten regular season games 764 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 3: rich they scored ten touchdowns. 765 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 5: Wow. 766 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 3: Total Wow. For the entire year, in ten games they 767 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 3: scored ten touchdowns. They had five last night. So I'm 768 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 3: gonna ask what I asked Bucky yesterday from your perspective, 769 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 3: with your history in renegade leagues? Are we gonna see 770 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 3: the rock uh and the xfl endoor? Is there a 771 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 3: way could we see a merger? People are asking that 772 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 3: of the USFL and the XFL, But after so many 773 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 3: false starts, could we finally see them going the distance? 774 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 5: You just have to keep costs down, right as long 775 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 5: it's drawing a rating. If you look, it's actually not terrible. 776 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 5: They're drawing numbers. So if you can keep costs down, 777 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 5: if you're probably not going to cut a profit for 778 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 5: a long while. But if you have basically a proof 779 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 5: of product where you can go to networks and say, consistently, 780 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 5: we rate consistently, we have a consistent project project here 781 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 5: with good funding. We just need to be on a 782 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 5: bigger network. We need to have more of an advertising 783 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 5: push behind us, and that's when you'll start getting away 784 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,359 Speaker 5: from breaking even or slight losses and start making money. 785 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'll celebrate. I watched it a little bit yesterday. 786 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 3: Congratulations to them Celtics Sixers Game seven, the preview coming 787 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,760 Speaker 3: up next. Rolling along on another very busy day in sports. 788 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday. 789 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 3: Happy Mother's Day out there, and once again we are 790 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 3: broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios. 791 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,439 Speaker 2: Tire rack dot com. 792 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 3: We're gonna help get you there on that match selection 793 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 3: fast ree shipping free road has a protection over ten 794 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 3: thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the way tire 795 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 3: buying should be. We're about an hour and a half 796 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 3: away of tip off between the Philadelphia seventy six Ers 797 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 3: and the Boston Celtics, Game seven of this Eastern Conference 798 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 3: semi final series. And a week ago, Rich I asked 799 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 3: you we had potentially three game sevens today, cential game 800 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 3: seven tomorrow. Which series is the most likely to go 801 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 3: to a seventh game? You said, and a lot of 802 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,320 Speaker 3: people agreed with you, would be the Lakers series against 803 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,919 Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors. As it turned out, Lakers took 804 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 3: care of business in a big way in Game six. 805 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: So the one game seven, we get Philadelphia and Boston 806 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,160 Speaker 3: and could not have expected this. After Boston coughed up 807 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,160 Speaker 3: Game five at home, Philadelphia went home and all of 808 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 3: a sudden, you're looking at the Sixers like, all right, 809 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 3: they're gonna wrap this thing out and knock out the Celtics. 810 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 3: But in that fourth quarter, you know, let's face it, 811 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 3: they sort of lost it. 812 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 5: In that fourth quarter. 813 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 3: Tatum, who had zero shots made in the first half, 814 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 3: suddenly got hot late for the Celtics, and the Celtics 815 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 3: pulled out that game. So before we even get to 816 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 3: this matchup of this Game seven today, I got to 817 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 3: go back to the Lakers series against the Warriors. There's 818 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 3: so many storylines that come out of that series, even 819 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 3: though it is over. But when you look at potentially today, 820 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 3: if the Celtics win, the final four in this year's 821 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 3: NBA Playoffs, will be identical to the four teams that 822 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 3: were the final four in the Bubble in twenty twenty 823 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 3: three years ago. It was the Lakers, the Nuggets, the Heat, 824 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 3: and the Celtics. So how surprised are you that with 825 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 3: everything that's gone on this year with the Lakers, that 826 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 3: they're not just in the Final four, but they're on 827 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 3: par right now with any team remaining in the playoffs. 828 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 5: I wouldn't say I'm shocked, because anytime you have Lebron James, 829 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 5: you have a legitimate shot to win a title. I 830 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 5: feel this way about a few players. Tom Brady comes 831 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 5: to mind, you know, just because of who he is 832 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 5: and what his resume says he is and what he's 833 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 5: done now with multiple teams. The same could be said 834 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 5: about Lebron James. So if Tom Brady comes out of 835 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 5: retirement and, oh, I don't know, plays for the Las 836 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 5: Vegas Raiders, you'll hear me saying a similar thing about 837 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 5: the Las Vegas Raiders, because there are just certain special 838 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 5: players that are catalytic that can spark something special with 839 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 5: the team, and Lebron's absolutely that type of players. So, 840 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 5: having said that, though, doubt crept in at the end 841 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 5: of the regular season, especially when Darvin ham was making 842 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 5: pronouncements like these two, you know, towers of power ad Lebron, 843 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 5: They're not gonna miss another game this season, unless, of 844 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 5: course it's injury. I can't predict injury and then they 845 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 5: started resting them, and there were injuries, and there was 846 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 5: fear that come the postseason, in the play in or otherwise, 847 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 5: that they would be dispatched of early. But playoff Lebron 848 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,319 Speaker 5: is a real thing. Playoff ad is a real thing 849 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,480 Speaker 5: when he's available and when he's playing, like we saw 850 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 5: in the clinching game against Warriors, Anthony Davis is one 851 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 5: of the most devastating players in the NBA. It's just 852 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 5: either a when he chooses to be or be when 853 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,920 Speaker 5: he's able to, and both of those things are up 854 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 5: in the air on any given night. So am I surprised, Yeah, 855 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 5: kind of, but only because of how they look. I 856 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 5: can tell you in the pit of my stomach, I 857 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 5: don't have this feeling. Wow, the Lakers are in the 858 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,160 Speaker 5: last four, because I figured they'd be in the Western 859 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 5: Conference Finals. It's Lebron James, the best or the second 860 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 5: best player to ever walk planet Earth at the sport 861 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 5: he participates in, So it's not that shocking. 862 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 9: All right. 863 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 3: He's the best, by the way, and with all due 864 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 3: respect to Michael Jordan, by the way, just a quick notice. 865 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 3: They get ready for their Western Conference Final matchup against Denver, 866 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 3: and let's let's be clear on this. Nikola Jokic has 867 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 3: been the best player. 868 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 5: In these playoffs. Oh, no doubt, no doubt. 869 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 2: It is the best player in these playoffs. 870 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,080 Speaker 3: And a lot of people, you know, mocked me when 871 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,280 Speaker 3: I said I felt at the end of the regular 872 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 3: season Yoka should have won a third straight MVP and 873 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 3: beats a great player, you know, the league scoring. Now 874 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: you can say maybe he was due, but the most 875 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 3: valuable player has been Jokic. 876 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 2: And we don't get to see that much Denver Nuggets. 877 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 3: But you saw this last series and he is right 878 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 3: now the most valuable player of these playoffs. But the Lakers, 879 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 3: I still think have a great opportunity. And we said 880 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 3: this even before the season began this season as far 881 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 3: as the Lakers are concerned, Remember this is a team 882 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 3: that was thirty three and forty nine last year. Yeah, 883 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 3: this is a team with eleven games to go in 884 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 3: the regular season. This year, we're in the eleventh seed. 885 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 3: I mean, they're that close to not even making it 886 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 3: into the play in round. But from the get go, 887 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 3: it's simply this the health of Anthony Davis. If Anthony 888 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 3: Davis is healthy, it changes the whole dynamic of the team. 889 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 3: And I will still say, based on what I've seen 890 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:50,839 Speaker 3: in the playoffs so far and what I really know 891 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 3: to be the truth. When we talk about duos in 892 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 3: this league when healthy, when playing their A game, which 893 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 3: both these guys obviously still can do, that's the best 894 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 3: due in the league is Lebron James and Anthony Davis. Yeah, 895 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 3: there is no duo that can top that duo in 896 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,560 Speaker 3: this league when they're both playing their A game. And 897 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 3: by the way, they logged a lot of minutes. Even 898 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 3: in that last game, these two guys forty three minutes 899 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 3: for Lebron age thirty eight. 900 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 2: But they get the break that series is not going 901 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 2: to start until Tuesday. 902 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 5: We when we look at Celtics seventy six ers, and 903 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, the Celtics changed up their look 904 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 5: and it benefited them. In Game six, they really had 905 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 5: no answers left for Harden and Embiid and then they 906 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,240 Speaker 5: went back to that double big look with Williams and Horford, 907 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,640 Speaker 5: and you know, I mean they dominated. I mean they 908 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:49,240 Speaker 5: kind of flummixed and frustrated the Sixers. And so when 909 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 5: we're looking at Game seven, you know there's gonna be 910 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 5: a CounterPunch to the punch. I'm curious what the Sixers 911 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 5: do with that information. They've had time to think about it. 912 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 5: But when you switch something up tactically and you show 913 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,399 Speaker 5: a different look than anybody seen from the Celtics all 914 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 5: postseason long. Now, granted they did run this a little 915 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 5: bit in the regular season. They were famous for it 916 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 5: last year, but this was a new look per this 917 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,479 Speaker 5: year and especially in this postseason run that Boston's had. 918 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 5: It was it worked, it worked, so this might be 919 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 5: it like that, that may be the answer to their prayers, 920 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,480 Speaker 5: whatever they were, because it looked like they were out 921 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,319 Speaker 5: of answers coming into Game six. 922 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,399 Speaker 3: All right, if you're the Sixers, this game comes down 923 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 3: to James Harden, simple as that. What he did in 924 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 3: Game one without himbid forty five points, winning that game 925 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 3: on the road against Boston. What he did in Game 926 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 3: four with the forty two points when they had to 927 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 3: win that game, that's it. I mean, if you look 928 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 3: at his numbers in Game six, awful, just awful. He 929 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 3: couldn't shoot the ball straight. If I'm the Philadelphia seventy 930 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,400 Speaker 3: six ers, And this is, by the way, advice to 931 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 3: a coach that has been notorious for his failures in 932 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 3: the postseason, Doctor Rivers, Doc. 933 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 2: Listen to me. 934 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 3: Your offensive game plan at the outset of this game 935 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,760 Speaker 3: is to get James Harden engaged ISO. He is best 936 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 3: when he dominates the basketball. That's just the way it is. 937 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 3: I know, you have the league's MVP there and Beat 938 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 3: will find his way, but you have got to get 939 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 3: James Harden engaged offensively. He's got to feel like he 940 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 3: has control. When he has that control where you can 941 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,040 Speaker 3: go to the hoop pick up fouls. We've seen it 942 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,239 Speaker 3: in this series a couple of times against the Celtics, 943 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 3: that is the formula for Philadelphia to win. So if 944 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:41,400 Speaker 3: he is you know, basically absent in that first quarter offensively. 945 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 2: They're gonna lose this game. 946 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 3: They've got to get Harden on his game early and 947 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 3: keep feeding James Harden. 948 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 2: Forget him Beat, go with Harden. 949 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I understand what you're saying, but history could 950 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 5: repeat itself. I mean, James Harden is one of the 951 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 5: faces of postseason failures. You know you just mentioned Doc Rivers. 952 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 5: But if there's one thing that James Harden is famous 953 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 5: for at this point in his career, it's the fact 954 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 5: that it hasn't worked out for him in these moments. 955 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,719 Speaker 5: So I don't know. I mean, I hear you and 956 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,600 Speaker 5: it seems to make sense. But there are certain players 957 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 5: where the lights are on and the moment gets real big, 958 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 5: they shrink, And do you want to put the game plan, 959 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,840 Speaker 5: even if just for a half, all on Harden's shoulders, 960 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 5: who in the past hasn't been able to meet the moment. 961 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 5: That's a tough call. Embiid, is your reigning MVP in 962 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 5: terms of job security? If I'm doc and I'm thinking, 963 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 5: what would I rather answer for in the postgame media 964 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 5: if this goes wrong? And I know that's a loser's mentality, 965 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 5: but that's also somebody's preserving their ability to keep their 966 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 5: job mentality. What would I rather answer questions? Hey, so 967 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 5: Harden was ice cold from three and in the second 968 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 5: half he kept feeding him and featuring him. Why'd you 969 00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 5: make that decision? Or Hey, embiid had a slow night. 970 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 5: It looked like the two big lineup from the Celtics 971 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,760 Speaker 5: who shutting them down in the paint. But you guys 972 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 5: continue to feed him. Why'd you do that? I'd rather 973 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 5: answer them beat questions. I'd rather answer them beat questions 974 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 5: because he's the raining MVP, because then I get to 975 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 5: say because I'm going to feature the ragning MVP's that's 976 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 5: my job as the head coach. He's our best player, 977 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 5: so I'm going to give him the basketball. 978 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 2: I agree with you on James Harden. 979 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 3: I mean, the record is what it is, but from 980 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 3: what I've seen in this series and him going off 981 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,640 Speaker 3: in games one and four of this series, that to me, 982 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 3: for whatever reason against Again, it's all about matchups, right, 983 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 3: It's about your opponent and what's the best thing in 984 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 3: that matchup.

Why are so many successful NBA coaches walking 993 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 3: the plank? We'll tell you. This is Fox Sports Sunday, 994 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,960 Speaker 3: Steve Harbman and Rich Arburger. This is Fox Sports Sunday. 995 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:24,480 Speaker 3: We are live from the Tiraq dot com studios. Yesterday, 996 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 3: it was actually during a commercial break, Rich Bucky and 997 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,720 Speaker 3: I were sitting here and I don't know, I turned 998 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 3: him and I said, how does Monny Williams still have 999 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:34,279 Speaker 3: a job? 1000 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,760 Speaker 2: And the reason I said that was is that we've seen. 1001 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 3: All these coaches fired and oh yeah, last time, we 1002 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 3: just saw the Phoenix Suns. They got humiliated on their 1003 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,760 Speaker 3: home court to get knocked out by the Denver Nuggets, 1004 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 3: and it just seemed like, how does this guy still 1005 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 3: have a job? And like less than an hour later, 1006 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 3: breaking news, Monnie Williams has been fired by the Phoenix Suns. 1007 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,040 Speaker 3: This guy who was the NBA's Coach of the Year 1008 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 3: last year. Suns had the best regular season record a 1009 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,120 Speaker 3: year ago. So let's look at this now. So over 1010 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 3: the last couple of years, we've had the three of 1011 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 3: the last four NBA championship coaches fired. Yep, and now 1012 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 3: the reigning NBA coach of the Year fired. That's that's 1013 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 3: a lot of damage done. Now, you and I have 1014 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 3: had the conversations about just the value of these coaches. 1015 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 3: Apparently now there's none. Now the Sun situation is a 1016 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 3: little different new ownership. I can only imagine what it 1017 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 3: was like for him to be sitting there on the 1018 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 3: court at home, watching his team get blown out, and 1019 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 3: then after the game, Honey, Williams said, this is on me. 1020 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 3: He said, I have to take the hit here because 1021 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,399 Speaker 3: I did not get my team ready for this game. Well, 1022 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 3: now you made it easy for the new owner to say, well, 1023 00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 3: since you're taking blame, fine, you made it easy for 1024 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 3: me to fire you. So now we're hearing Mark Jackson's 1025 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 3: back in the mix. JJ Reddick is being a higher 1026 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 3: or being an interview for coaching jobs. 1027 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,280 Speaker 2: Obviously you have all these other guys like Monty Williams 1028 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 2: and Nick Nurse and Budenholzer and Vogel, all these championship 1029 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 2: coaches out there available. Why I have a coach at all? 1030 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm trying to get. 1031 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 3: I mean, where's their accountability, where's their input? 1032 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 2: What is their actual value to these NBA teams. 1033 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 5: It's a great question, and it's one that I question 1034 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,680 Speaker 5: all the time, not only in the NBA but also 1035 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:37,880 Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball. The more the more you investigate 1036 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 5: exactly what these managers do and what they're responsible for 1037 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 5: in Baseball. And the more you look at what NBA 1038 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,359 Speaker 5: coaches are asked to do and what what they what 1039 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 5: they actually spend their time doing, it's it's basically a liaison. 1040 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 5: It's almost like a media relations person, you know, or 1041 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 5: you know, a couple of different people tied up into one. 1042 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 5: They are the player facing arm of the front office 1043 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 5: that has to explain things that are happening at the 1044 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 5: general manager level, at the front office level to the players. 1045 00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 5: They are the player's arm to the media to address 1046 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 5: certain topics, headlines, things that players don't want to discuss 1047 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,399 Speaker 5: for themselves. Somebody else can do the dirty work for them. 1048 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 5: They play armchair therapists with players, you know, trying to help, 1049 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 5: you know, mess these personalities and combine things. But in 1050 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,760 Speaker 5: terms of actually coaching or managing, and I'm talking about 1051 00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:40,120 Speaker 5: both of these sports NBA major League Baseball, they've been 1052 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 5: completely defanked. Players in the NBA don't listen to coaches. 1053 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 5: Coaches listen to players in Major League Baseball, players don't 1054 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:51,399 Speaker 5: listen to managers. Players have their own hitting coaches, They 1055 00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,080 Speaker 5: have their outside council for everything they need, or pitching 1056 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 5: coaches for everything they need. You know, sometimes they may 1057 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,440 Speaker 5: pick up something from a coaching Steff, There's no question that. 1058 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,920 Speaker 5: But then also, the front office is making all of 1059 00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,320 Speaker 5: the strategic decisions at the field level in Major League Baseball, 1060 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,280 Speaker 5: So what are these coaches doing. They're liaisons. 1061 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 3: Interesting you mentioned about baseball and basketball different on the 1062 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,480 Speaker 3: professional ranks in the NFL. 1063 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 2: Think about this. 1064 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 3: Back in the day, it was not that uncommon to 1065 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 3: have player managers or player coaches in the NBA. Dave 1066 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,400 Speaker 3: de Busher, the Hall of Famer best known for his 1067 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 3: Knick days in the seventies, came up with the Pistons 1068 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 3: and was hired as the player coach in his twenties. 1069 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,279 Speaker 2: He was the player coach of the Detroit Pistons when 1070 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 2: he was in his twenties. Bill Russell's last three years 1071 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,799 Speaker 2: with the Celtics, he was the coach of the team 1072 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 2: and obviously their player. You don't see player coaches in 1073 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 2: the NFL. That's never happened, all right, very separate situation. 1074 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's not. 1075 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,920 Speaker 3: I mean when I I mean, let's use the Lakers 1076 00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:58,760 Speaker 3: as an example. 1077 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 2: Right, Not only do you have coaches now, but you 1078 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 2: have all these assistant coaches. In fact, most NBA teams 1079 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,040 Speaker 2: have two rows of coaches. 1080 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you have the guys on the bench and 1081 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,640 Speaker 3: then there's coaches sitting behind them. Almost every team has this, 1082 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,399 Speaker 3: like that second row where you know the head coach 1083 00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 3: might be turning around for something. I'm like, why is 1084 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 3: this necessary? If you have let's say a Lebron James. 1085 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 3: And maybe Lebron wouldn't want to do it, but let's 1086 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,760 Speaker 3: just say theoretically he was approached about this. Who better 1087 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 3: to understand what's happening out on the court, good or 1088 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:35,040 Speaker 3: bad than your leader on the court, right, I. 1089 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 2: Mean, who would better know? 1090 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 3: And so I'm amazed that we don't see somebody stepping 1091 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,919 Speaker 3: up and saying, you know, it worked in the day. 1092 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 3: Lenny Wilkins, another Hall of Famer, was a player coach. 1093 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,400 Speaker 3: This was not all that uncommon back in the day. 1094 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 3: Why somebody hasn't approached the idea. You could still have 1095 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 3: an assistant or two on the bench. Maybe they could 1096 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 3: seize observations, but as far as huddling up saying, hey, 1097 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 3: we need. 1098 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 2: A time out. 1099 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,280 Speaker 3: Right now, I'm on the court, things are not going well. 1100 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,280 Speaker 3: I am amazed that we haven't seen at least one 1101 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 3: team step them and say, let's give it a shot 1102 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:14,840 Speaker 3: and see how it works instead of bringing in somebody 1103 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,919 Speaker 3: else paying them millions of dollars. And in the end, 1104 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 3: when a team doesn't shoot well or not rebounding well, well, 1105 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 3: he's not his fault. The guys weren't making three I'm 1106 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 3: trying to again figure out exactly what function they actually 1107 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,360 Speaker 3: have in terms of winning and losing in this case 1108 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:34,920 Speaker 3: the NBA. 1109 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 5: Look, I think that they have more of an impact 1110 00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 5: than baseball managers, do you know? And actually you can 1111 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 5: really sort of determine that by looking at salaries. Managerial 1112 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 5: salaries in Major League Baseball are at an all time low. 1113 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 5: These guys aren't making what they used to make. There 1114 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,000 Speaker 5: are several managers making less than a million dollars to 1115 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 5: manage one hundred and sixty two games. All right, you know, 1116 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 5: you look at NBA coaches, I mean, are they making 1117 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 5: small potato dollars? No, but I think the top coach 1118 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,560 Speaker 5: is making somewhere in the range of eight million dollars 1119 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 5: a year. Look at the NFL, I mean, these salaries 1120 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 5: are approaching twelve fifteen million dollars per year for these 1121 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 5: best coaches. And the reason is very clear because you 1122 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 5: need to have a competent head coach to have a 1123 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,280 Speaker 5: great football team at the NFL level. That is not 1124 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 5: the case with the NBA at all. It is not 1125 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 5: the case with Major League Baseball at all. You have 1126 00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 5: a brand new NBA coach, for example, Frank Vogel handling 1127 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 5: a pandemic win a championship. I mean, was it Frank Vogel? No, No, wasn't. 1128 00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 5: But look, he'll get another job at some point, or 1129 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,320 Speaker 5: it will be on the bench somewhere, and it'll get 1130 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 5: paid a lot of money. And you know, I think, 1131 00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,760 Speaker 5: is it necessary. Yeah, it's still is necessary because there 1132 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 5: are those those coaches like Greg Popovich or Steve Kerr 1133 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 5: who have superstars who are willing to give and heed 1134 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 5: the power over to the coach and give them an 1135 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,760 Speaker 5: opportunity to truly be a coach. That's what happened with 1136 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:10,160 Speaker 5: Steph Curry. He's inarguably the most talented player with Golden State, 1137 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 5: and he's given Steve. He's empowered Steve Kerr to be 1138 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 5: a great coach. That happened with Tim Duncan and the Spurs. 1139 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 5: He empowered Greg Popovich. Now you saw what happened when 1140 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 5: things got squirrellly with Kawhi Leonard, all of a sudden, 1141 00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 5: the Spurs had a lot of problems. It didn't look 1142 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,320 Speaker 5: as great as it used to. Why Well, it's because 1143 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 5: Kawhi was exerting the leverage that almost every other NBA 1144 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 5: star has exerted on their franchise that Steph Curry has 1145 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 5: refused to do the Golden State Warriors, which in my 1146 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,760 Speaker 5: opinion has led to a lot of success for them, 1147 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 5: because I do think Steve Kurr is a good coach. 1148 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 5: But once Greg Popovich lost the locker room, i e. 1149 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 5: His star, Kawhi Leonard, things really started to vanish in 1150 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,080 Speaker 5: terms of their dominance. 1151 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 3: All right, once again we are brought to by Progressive Insurance. 1152 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 3: Progressive makes bundling easy and affordable.

Yeah again, when we talk about basketball 1156 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 3: in particular, because again you have five guys on the court, 1157 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 3: and more than any other sport by far, a single player. 1158 01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 3: One player can change the whole dynamic of a franchise, 1159 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 3: and we've seen it time and again you know, when 1160 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 3: Kareem Abdul Jabbar came into the NBA, he was joining 1161 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,400 Speaker 3: a second year expansion team, second year expansion team. A 1162 01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,680 Speaker 3: year later, they're winning the NBA championship, just like that, 1163 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 3: because of one single player. Look at san Antonio. There's 1164 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 3: a reason why san Antonio is fishing for that topic 1165 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 3: in the draft because this kid, I can't it's got 1166 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,920 Speaker 3: a lot of letters in his name. But everyone's hyping 1167 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 3: up this seven to four kid as like the next 1168 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 3: it guy.

Mark Jackson's coaching legacy is one of 1315 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 3: the most baffling in NBA history because we see coaches 1316 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 3: get recycled constantly if they have any measure of success. 1317 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,000 Speaker 3: When he joined the Golden State Warriors as their coach, 1318 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 3: his first year, they won twenty three games. Two years 1319 01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 3: later they won fifty one games. 1320 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:40,880 Speaker 2: Now they got bounced in the first round of the playoffs, 1321 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,400 Speaker 2: but you could see this was a team on the cuss. 1322 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 2: He had sort of introduced the world to the idea of. 1323 01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,600 Speaker 3: The Splash Brothers with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, and 1324 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,000 Speaker 3: they were there like they were suddenly in the mix. 1325 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 3: He went from twenty three wins to forty seven wins 1326 01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 3: to fifty one wins. He gets fired, they bring in 1327 01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,880 Speaker 3: Steve Kerr. The rest is history with the Warriors. But still, 1328 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 3: at some point you have to recognize the fact that 1329 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 3: what he built to a large extent is eventually what 1330 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 3: the Warriors used that formula to win multiple championships. So 1331 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 3: you would think, because he's had interviews before, this is 1332 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 3: not the first time that he's had interviews. Obviously, he's 1333 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 3: been very visible with his broadcast work over the years, but. 1334 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 2: That was twenty fourteen. That was a lot. That was 1335 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 2: nine years ago that he got canned. He has been 1336 01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:35,320 Speaker 2: seeking coaching jobs. He's been interviewed for coaching jobs, and 1337 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,439 Speaker 2: he hasn't gotten a coaching job. I don't know what's 1338 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 2: going on in these interviews with Mark Jackson. You know, 1339 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,679 Speaker 2: he's a strong minded guy. We hear that when he's 1340 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 2: doing his broadcast. He and Bank Gundy I think make 1341 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 2: a pretty good deal because they'll butt heads a little bit. 1342 01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 2: Yeah like it. But I'm just curious what happens when 1343 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:55,120 Speaker 2: Mark Jackson gets into an interview, because he obviously wants 1344 01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 2: to be a coach or the rise, he wouldn't interview 1345 01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 2: for these jobs and no one has hired him. 1346 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 5: Well, there are certain personalities that cannot accept being under 1347 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:12,160 Speaker 5: anybody else's thumb, and that way of thinking used to 1348 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:16,519 Speaker 5: work really well. Like you needed a Bobby Knight, you 1349 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 5: needed a coach k You needed a type a personality, 1350 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 5: somebody who is going to take the reins. You needed 1351 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 5: a Phil Jackson who maybe had a little bit of 1352 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 5: a softer touch. But Phil was in charge. Yeah, Phil 1353 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:35,360 Speaker 5: was in charge. You needed a guy who truly dominated 1354 01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 5: pat Riley, you know what I mean, like somebody who 1355 01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:40,559 Speaker 5: really And I'm naming a lot of names that are 1356 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,439 Speaker 5: no longer coaching because times have changed. Like there are 1357 01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 5: a lot of different persons who still have POP. Now 1358 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:49,599 Speaker 5: you still have pop, but times have changed and they 1359 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 5: may have steered away from pop being all that effective. 1360 01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:53,559 Speaker 2: We'll see. 1361 01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,320 Speaker 5: But this new NBA is very different than the old NBA. 1362 01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,719 Speaker 5: The old NBA used to the players they allowed the coach, 1363 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 5: and they didn't have leverage over the coach to really 1364 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,680 Speaker 5: argue with how the coach wanted to coach them. But 1365 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 5: they allowed the coach to be empowered to make all 1366 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,840 Speaker 5: the decisions and have all the control. Now, if a 1367 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,120 Speaker 5: player doesn't like what a coach is doing, he'll go 1368 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,280 Speaker 5: right to the front office. He'll bypass the coach, he'll 1369 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 5: talk to the general manager. And a lot of times 1370 01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 5: those conversations don't even need to get to the point 1371 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 5: where it's like me or him. You know, the message 1372 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,920 Speaker 5: has already made if they're having that conversation in the 1373 01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 5: first place. So I don't know Mark Jackson personally, I 1374 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,080 Speaker 5: don't know what type of coach. He is behind closed doors. 1375 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,679 Speaker 5: But if he's that type of personality, it's not gonna 1376 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,960 Speaker 5: mesh well in today's NBA. But there are certain coaches 1377 01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 5: who you hired to build a culture, like Budenholzer, clearly 1378 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 5: in Milwaukee was that type of coach. They want to 1379 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,600 Speaker 5: coach Bud to help Jannis get his first championship. He 1380 01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 5: became an MVP underneath him. But I guess the organization 1381 01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:03,519 Speaker 5: looks at him and says, well, it's not sustainable, or 1382 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,160 Speaker 5: maybe he's Giannis is losing interest in playing for a 1383 01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,680 Speaker 5: type a personality and they want to move on to 1384 01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 5: a more sensitive, more modern type of NBA coach, maybe 1385 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,439 Speaker 5: a former player, something like that. 1386 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,559 Speaker 3: I understand what they're saying about changing times and everything. 1387 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,000 Speaker 3: But there's another organization, by the way, still alive in 1388 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 3: the NBA playoffs, still run that way, and that's the 1389 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 3: Miami Heat. Pat Riley with Eric Spolstra. They have control, 1390 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 3: total control. I mean that was pat Riley when he 1391 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 3: was a coach, which by the way, didn't alienated people. Yes, 1392 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 3: even in the Lakers organization and with the Knicks before 1393 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,559 Speaker 3: he found a home where he could have total control 1394 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,160 Speaker 3: of an organization on the heat and he and Eric 1395 01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,559 Speaker 3: Spolster have built that atmosphere. Yeah, and look at this team, 1396 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,719 Speaker 3: an eight seed and they're in the Eastern Conference finals 1397 01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,120 Speaker 3: and Jimmy Butler is the perfect foil for them because 1398 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,880 Speaker 3: he's a big game player and he is of that 1399 01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,320 Speaker 3: kind of mindset where he's a leader on the court 1400 01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,680 Speaker 3: and raises the bar for everybody on the court. So, 1401 01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 3: I you know this idea that you can't have that 1402 01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,800 Speaker 3: kind of control over the players in the NBA. 1403 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,919 Speaker 5: But it's a little bit of a special and unique situation. 1404 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 5: Outside of the Golden State Warriors, can you name and 1405 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:17,920 Speaker 5: Steph Curry giving a lot of like the ability to 1406 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,719 Speaker 5: run his team to Steve Kerr? Can you name another 1407 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 5: star who would be willing to do that outside of 1408 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 5: Jimmy Butler. No, it's very rare, So you have to 1409 01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 5: we have two examples amongst thirty teams got stars, I mean, 1410 01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:35,240 Speaker 5: and Butler's a star I mean Miami. Trust me, he 1411 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 5: doesn't have to pay for a meal anywhere in Miami. 1412 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 5: Like Jimmy Butler's a star. He gives Spulstra. He endows 1413 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:44,640 Speaker 5: him the responsibility but also the power to do what 1414 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,960 Speaker 5: he wants to do. Kevin Love is a great second 1415 01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,519 Speaker 5: banana if you're going to run in an organization this way, 1416 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,000 Speaker 5: because he's not going to ruffle feathers. The same could 1417 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,160 Speaker 5: be said with Klay Thompson. I don't think he wants 1418 01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 5: that heat, so he's very cool playing sidecard Curry giving 1419 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 5: Steve Kerr the power the same way Butler and loved 1420 01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 5: down there in South Beach. It's rare though Steve, like 1421 01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,680 Speaker 5: most of these players, including Giannis, who have ultimately a 1422 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:13,599 Speaker 5: tremendous amount of respect for how he comports himself, it 1423 01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 5: did sound like he was undermining Bud Oh yeah, during 1424 01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:17,800 Speaker 5: the postseason. 1425 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,240 Speaker 2: He certainly didn't defend him. 1426 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 5: No, no, So so I don't know if Mark Jackson 1427 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:24,599 Speaker 5: is gonna be a fit for the Bucks, who he's 1428 01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 5: currently interviewing with. If he's that type of personality, we'll 1429 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:28,519 Speaker 5: see at the. 1430 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,559 Speaker 3: End of your first year.

But enjoying the weekends here and other things 1461 01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,080 Speaker 3: I've been involved with. But if you were to just 1462 01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 3: follow me on like a typical Monday through Friday during 1463 01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 3: the day, yes, now we. 1464 01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:16,880 Speaker 5: Need to get you a reality show. 1465 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,559 Speaker 3: I mean there's points during the middle of the day 1466 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 3: when I'm like typing stats, you know, because I do 1467 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 3: that during the day, and then I take the dogs 1468 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,880 Speaker 3: outside in our backyard and I just sort of sit there. 1469 01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,439 Speaker 5: There was kind of dogs and obscure an obscure mut 1470 01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,000 Speaker 5: maybe it's not obscure.

There was a role played by Philip Seymour 1473 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,680 Speaker 5: Hoffman Sandy Lyle. He played his best man in the 1474 01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,759 Speaker 5: wedding that he ended up not not going through with. Anyways, 1475 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 5: this guy hired a crew, a camera crew to follo 1476 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 5: him around and he told everybody that they were doing 1477 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,400 Speaker 5: the e true Hollywood story on him back when he 1478 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 5: was the thing, right and he was a kid star, 1479 01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:04,000 Speaker 5: and that it was gonna revamp his career. All this stuff. 1480 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:06,000 Speaker 5: You need to do this. You need to hire an 1481 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,640 Speaker 5: independent film crew to follow you out around on a 1482 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:13,720 Speaker 5: daily basis, and you need you then need to sell 1483 01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 5: to a network like this because it's it's gonna work out. 1484 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,080 Speaker 5: I promise you you are the most interesting person I've 1485 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 5: ever met. The truths about your life are the best 1486 01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 5: part of your life. 1487 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, bring everybody behind the curtain. 1488 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:32,160 Speaker 3: I escape on the weekends. Here we're in the tire 1489 01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,600 Speaker 3: Raq dot com studios. All right, well, get off me 1490 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 3: and let's get on to a guy by the name 1491 01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,519 Speaker 3: of Kevin Durant. Yes, so his coaches got fired, so 1492 01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,960 Speaker 3: he goes to the Phoenix Suns. They basically got their 1493 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,840 Speaker 3: bench in order to bring in Kevin Durant as that 1494 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:49,439 Speaker 3: missing piece to join Chris Paul and Booker and Aidan 1495 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,200 Speaker 3: to get the Sons over the top and win a championship. 1496 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 3: And instead they get blown out embarrassed in their final 1497 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 3: game of the season and they blow out the coach 1498 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:03,599 Speaker 3: and I start looking at the resume of Kevin Durant 1499 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,639 Speaker 3: and I got into this yesterday with Montsey, of all people. 1500 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,599 Speaker 3: I will look at that I'm not looking at. He's 1501 01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,720 Speaker 3: an all time greats, first ballot, Hall of Famer and 1502 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 3: everything else. Would I play some of the top ten 1503 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:18,760 Speaker 3: players in NBA history, No, not even close. In fact, 1504 01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,800 Speaker 3: my point about Kevin Durant is as great an offensive 1505 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,479 Speaker 3: player as he has been, he's one of the all 1506 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,799 Speaker 3: time greats, four time scoring champion. 1507 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,720 Speaker 2: Let's look at post Warriors, Let's look at pre Warriors. 1508 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,760 Speaker 2: I mean he hitched his wagonto a team coming off 1509 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 2: a seventy three win season. For three seasons, he went 1510 01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,559 Speaker 2: back to back championships. Obviously was finals MVP. I'm not 1511 01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 2: saying he wasn't a huge contributor to those championships, but 1512 01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,720 Speaker 2: the idea that he wanted out and sort of have 1513 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,160 Speaker 2: his own place first with the Nets, now with the Suns, 1514 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,000 Speaker 2: it's not working, and I don't know what it is. 1515 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 2: Does it meaning that he's not a talented player. No, 1516 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 2: of course he's a talented player, But in terms of 1517 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 2: his legacy and his standing with the all time greats, 1518 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:09,439 Speaker 2: in my opinion, his stock is dropping right now. I 1519 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:11,719 Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to change next season. In Phoenix, 1520 01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:13,760 Speaker 2: they got a lot of soul searching. They got to 1521 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,920 Speaker 2: get a new coach. Now, they got to figure out 1522 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 2: this roster. But they gutted their bench in order to 1523 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,599 Speaker 2: bring in the superstar that was supposed to take him 1524 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 2: the next step, and it didn't happen. So I to me, 1525 01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,759 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant right now is one of those guys whose 1526 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,320 Speaker 2: stock in terms of all time legacy is dropping. 1527 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:38,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, look he's He's won two championships. He 1528 01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 5: was a final MVP in both. I don't see Kevin 1529 01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:49,640 Speaker 5: Durant as uncementing an already great legacy. I feel like 1530 01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,000 Speaker 5: that's firmly in place. So I'll disagree there. But what 1531 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:56,920 Speaker 5: I will say is the second act or maybe third 1532 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 5: act to his career going is going to look very 1533 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,760 Speaker 5: different than the first two because he took an Oklahoma 1534 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 5: City Thunder team out of obscurity as his first act, 1535 01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,600 Speaker 5: you know, just making that place a place where you 1536 01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 5: could you could really I mean that it wasn't an 1537 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,639 Speaker 5: eppy center of the NBA, but it was a feared 1538 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 5: Western Conference team for a while there while he was 1539 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 5: playing for them. That was a truth. Moving on to 1540 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 5: Golden State, he proved what he knew to be true 1541 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,000 Speaker 5: about himself, which was that he deserves to be a champion, 1542 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 5: he just needed better parts around him. And then moving 1543 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 5: on from there in the third act, I don't think 1544 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 5: it undoes what he did in the other two acts, 1545 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,680 Speaker 5: but it does reveal maybe a little bit of a 1546 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 5: lack of awareness. 1547 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 3: Well again, he was the one that put the team 1548 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 3: together with the nets, right. I mean he brings in Kyrie, 1549 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:49,439 Speaker 3: I mean he wanted to dictate and have control of 1550 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,040 Speaker 3: these franchises, and the same thing in Phoenix. I mean 1551 01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:56,240 Speaker 3: he seemingly has pieces around him and it's not working. 1552 01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 3: So just having players is not enough. He got to 1553 01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,720 Speaker 3: have leadership. You got to have direction, all right. We 1554 01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 3: get ready for the Celtics and the Sixers Game seven. 1555 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,680 Speaker 2: Happy Mother's Day. Getting ready for a. 1556 01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 3: Game seven in the NBA Playoffs Celtics and Sixers.

Tire rack dot com the way tire buying 1562 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:37,599 Speaker 3: should be So Boston Philadelphia, who knows we saw Boston 1563 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,920 Speaker 3: lose at home in Game five. Could they lose again 1564 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 3: in Game seven? It is possible. But but, but, but 1565 01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,960 Speaker 3: looming is the possibility of an NBA dream, and that 1566 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,680 Speaker 3: is a matchup of the Los Angeles Slackers and the 1567 01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 3: Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. When you have two 1568 01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:02,280 Speaker 3: organizations that have dominated a league to the extent that 1569 01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:05,240 Speaker 3: the Celtics and Lakers have dominated the history of the NBA, 1570 01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:09,599 Speaker 3: and you get that opportunity because when you get a 1571 01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,400 Speaker 3: matchup of these two franchises. I remember in two thousand 1572 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:16,280 Speaker 3: and eight, Rich the Lakers and Celtics are matchup in 1573 01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,680 Speaker 3: the NBA Finals for the first time in twenty one 1574 01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 3: years since the Bird Magic days. And I'm in Boston 1575 01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 3: courtside doing my radio show where the Lakers station, and 1576 01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 3: everybody was there. Oh yeah, I mean, Bill Russell's there. 1577 01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:34,120 Speaker 3: Every Celtic legend is there, every Laker legend. So the 1578 01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,240 Speaker 3: build up to that matchup, beyond the fact that it 1579 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 3: was a great matchup, is the fact that there's the history. 1580 01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,439 Speaker 3: I mean, you could literally trace the history of the 1581 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 3: entire league based on these two franchises. And if we 1582 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:52,760 Speaker 3: were to get that matchup again, as much attention as 1583 01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,400 Speaker 3: should be called to Shack and Ad and Tatum and Brown. 1584 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,439 Speaker 2: And you know all the current players. 1585 01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:00,680 Speaker 3: Just imagine I'm gonna go back to bird Magic, we 1586 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,840 Speaker 3: go back to you know, Kobe going up against the 1587 01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 3: big trio of Garnett and Pierce and ray Allen, you know. 1588 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 3: And so there's different layers of the story. It is 1589 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:15,559 Speaker 3: a dream matchup, which brings to mind something that I've 1590 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,480 Speaker 3: been observing throughout these playoffs. 1591 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,240 Speaker 2: And I love a. 1592 01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:23,200 Speaker 3: Good conspiracy theory of him that because I've started many 1593 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 3: of them over the years. I'll be honest with you 1594 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,920 Speaker 3: sort of the nature of the job, but I like 1595 01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 3: to try to take an objective look sometimes away from 1596 01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:33,800 Speaker 3: the mic, you know, just sort of like what am 1597 01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 3: I really seeing here the officiating in these playoffs? I'm sorry? 1598 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,160 Speaker 3: And again, I had a friend of mine, Bill Spooner. 1599 01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 3: He was a thirty year official in the NBA, and 1600 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,640 Speaker 3: I had conversations with Bill over the years about you 1601 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:55,560 Speaker 3: know what am I seeing there after the Tim Donneghe scandal, 1602 01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 3: and he was being paid, you know, he's gambling on 1603 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 3: games and you know the league. So he's rogue. He's rogue, 1604 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,679 Speaker 3: he's a you know, he's out there on an Island 1605 01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:07,439 Speaker 3: never happened. I have no rhyme or reason how they 1606 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 3: make calls in this league. I mean they blow whistles 1607 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:15,600 Speaker 3: on fouls that are not happening. They I just and 1608 01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:19,439 Speaker 3: you wonder because a lot of people will say, well, 1609 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:20,400 Speaker 3: it's fixed. 1610 01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it's fixed. It's not fixed. 1611 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,960 Speaker 3: But it's amazing how many times things work out where 1612 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,880 Speaker 3: the NBA ultimately gets what they want in the end. 1613 01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,519 Speaker 3: So if the Sixers lose today, if the Celtics advance 1614 01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 3: to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Lakers are going to 1615 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,479 Speaker 3: be going as a seventh seed against a one seed. 1616 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:46,040 Speaker 3: Celtics will be going against an eight seed. But if 1617 01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,920 Speaker 3: we ultimately end up with a Boston La NBA Finals 1618 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,000 Speaker 3: at a time where the NBA could use a little 1619 01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 3: infusion like that, sure, I mean we've had a couple 1620 01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,799 Speaker 3: of years here where you get like Milwaukee Phoenix. 1621 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 5: Well let me let me go further down the rabbit 1622 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,599 Speaker 5: hole with you. Hang on. So check this out. I'll 1623 01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 5: revamp the report that Monty read to us earlier. Yes, 1624 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 5: Adrian Wojnarowski earlier. Yeah. An interesting dynamic approaching Sixers Celtics 1625 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:18,719 Speaker 5: Game seven, per sources, is the NBA's officiating game report 1626 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 5: shared with teams from Game six revealed the significant disparity 1627 01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:25,760 Speaker 5: thirteen officiating errors disadvantaging the seventy six Ers to four 1628 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 5: disadvantaging Boston. Those can include calls and non calls, So 1629 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 5: it's not just about the fouls that are called. It's 1630 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:40,040 Speaker 5: also about the fouls that weren't called and weren't called 1631 01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 5: on Boston. Now in that game at least, right you know, 1632 01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:48,000 Speaker 5: So now you start to think, well, if that's the case, 1633 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:52,360 Speaker 5: is it mistakes just made in Game six? What did 1634 01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,760 Speaker 5: the rest of the series look like? I mean, are we, 1635 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 5: you know, drawing from a large enough sample, But it 1636 01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,280 Speaker 5: is curious, I do I agree with you when we 1637 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,479 Speaker 5: see certain brands get promoted throughout the NBA postseason more 1638 01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,559 Speaker 5: than others. And I'm talking about television commercials that the 1639 01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 5: NBA obviously is behind and sponsoring and marketing material. It 1640 01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 5: is really promoting this, you know, East coast West coast 1641 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,080 Speaker 5: stuff between the Lakers and the Celtics. It does feel 1642 01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,240 Speaker 5: like it's building in that direction. Having said all that, 1643 01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,559 Speaker 5: I will make an argument. Look, it's a lot easier 1644 01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 5: to call fouls on the Sixers than it is on 1645 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,719 Speaker 5: the Celtics. And the reason is is because the style. 1646 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:36,400 Speaker 5: The Celtics are more of a you know, push the pace, 1647 01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:42,440 Speaker 5: spread the floor type of team. The Phillies they're obviously 1648 01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,960 Speaker 5: or excuse me, the Phillies. The Sixers are obviously a 1649 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,759 Speaker 5: little bit more in the paint and they're bodying people 1650 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 5: up a little bit more. James Harden is a drive 1651 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:53,680 Speaker 5: the lane type guy, driving kick you know, so I 1652 01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:57,840 Speaker 5: get it. I totally understand it. But that disparity could 1653 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,760 Speaker 5: be explained because it's easier to call foul on the 1654 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 5: Sixers than it is on the Celtics. But it is 1655 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:09,360 Speaker 5: it illuminates something that people talk about all the time, 1656 01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 5: and it is relegated to this world of conspiracy theory 1657 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,920 Speaker 5: until it isn't until you know, somebody's mic is left 1658 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,840 Speaker 5: on too long, or until you know somebody who has 1659 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:25,280 Speaker 5: more insight than we do comes out and speaks openly 1660 01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:27,960 Speaker 5: about it. You know, a lot of these things have 1661 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,760 Speaker 5: happened in the past that have unveiled things that we 1662 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 5: used to think were conspiracy theories. But they maybe there's 1663 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,160 Speaker 5: some truth to this. I don't know. What I do 1664 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:39,920 Speaker 5: know is this usually in the NBA postseason, the better 1665 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 5: team wins these series when it's close, either team could 1666 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,080 Speaker 5: win these series. Would it be better for the league 1667 01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:48,600 Speaker 5: if the Celtics go to the finals? Obviously? 1668 01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,000 Speaker 2: Obviously, Oh, a huge difference. 1669 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 3: I'm looking at NBA Finals ratings, and I understand ratings 1670 01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,840 Speaker 3: have changed dramatically over the years, streaming and everything else, 1671 01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,719 Speaker 3: so it's it's not a real gait when you compare 1672 01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 3: numbers of now back in the day. But the one 1673 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,880 Speaker 3: thing that was valuable to this league was that four 1674 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,160 Speaker 3: year run of Warriors versus Lebron. 1675 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 2: I won't even say calvs. It was Lebron versus the Warriors. 1676 01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:17,160 Speaker 3: That was a ratings winner for the NBA consistently over 1677 01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,800 Speaker 3: the four years. Even when it wasn't even a competitive 1678 01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:21,600 Speaker 3: series like the last year, you know, it was like 1679 01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,519 Speaker 3: a sweep, they still. 1680 01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,719 Speaker 2: Put up good numbers since then. I mean, the Bubble 1681 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:27,519 Speaker 2: was a disaster. 1682 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:30,599 Speaker 3: I remember you remember how we were all sitting here 1683 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,440 Speaker 3: during the bubble. It to you and I were somehow 1684 01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,320 Speaker 3: putting together show after show off to show with literally 1685 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 3: nothing to talk about, you know, six days a week. 1686 01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 3: But we all anticipated that, man, when sports is back, 1687 01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 3: these are going to be like huge numbers. 1688 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:55,040 Speaker 2: They were the worst ratings ever. That NBA Finals between 1689 01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 2: the Lakers and the Heat was a catastrophoot, but there 1690 01:27:58,320 --> 01:27:58,840 Speaker 2: was a lot of. 1691 01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:01,040 Speaker 5: Context to that. I think. I think that a lot 1692 01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 5: of people realized during the pandemic, especially that they use 1693 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,639 Speaker 5: sports as an escape, you know, it's something to get 1694 01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,200 Speaker 5: away from the world's problems a little bit. Because we 1695 01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:14,840 Speaker 5: all experience the world in our own way and we 1696 01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,799 Speaker 5: all have our own opinions about what's happening in the world. 1697 01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 5: And I think it got very real for a lot 1698 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,920 Speaker 5: of sports fans who use sports to turn their brain off, 1699 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,000 Speaker 5: you know, who are clicking over to you know, Heat 1700 01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 5: Lakers because they don't want to think about the devastating 1701 01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 5: tragedy of another shooting. They don't want to hear about 1702 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:39,599 Speaker 5: political beliefs and see protests enacted like that. Was that 1703 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 5: was something that there was truth to that. Oh yes, 1704 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,280 Speaker 5: and the NBA was a front runner in that space. 1705 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:48,639 Speaker 5: And I'm not casting an opinion about it, positively or negatively. 1706 01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,320 Speaker 5: I'm just telling you the facts are fact. Yeah, there 1707 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,919 Speaker 5: are there were a strong there was a strong contingent 1708 01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,320 Speaker 5: of sports viewer and trust me, I experienced this in 1709 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,880 Speaker 5: my personal life as a former NFL player, I can't 1710 01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,800 Speaker 5: tell you how many people and a broadcaster obviously, how 1711 01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 5: many people came up to me and said things about 1712 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,800 Speaker 5: that part of sport during that time period that they 1713 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:13,400 Speaker 5: couldn't stand. And now, as a former player, I also 1714 01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:17,400 Speaker 5: see it both ways, because I know how the outside 1715 01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,600 Speaker 5: world feels when you're inside of that community and you 1716 01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,679 Speaker 5: worry that you're not doing enough for the outside world, 1717 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,920 Speaker 5: you know, because you say, I have this platform, but 1718 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 5: I'm just playing a kid's game for a lot of money, 1719 01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:30,880 Speaker 5: Like what am I doing with my life? There's a 1720 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:32,880 Speaker 5: little bit of that feeling, and so I get it 1721 01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,880 Speaker 5: from their perspective, the player's perspective, but I also get 1722 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,280 Speaker 5: it from the viewer perspective. This is supposed to be 1723 01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:39,759 Speaker 5: an entertainment product. 1724 01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:40,360 Speaker 4: You know. 1725 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,280 Speaker 5: If you went in to watch the New Mario movie 1726 01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, there, you know, there was 1727 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:49,000 Speaker 5: some sort of you know, dialogue or protest being pronounced 1728 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:52,160 Speaker 5: by the animated characters, there would be a certain faction 1729 01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,200 Speaker 5: of people would walk out on the movie and be like, 1730 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,160 Speaker 5: that's not why I brought my kids here, you know, 1731 01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:59,640 Speaker 5: and kids watch sports. I'm telling you that was a 1732 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:02,160 Speaker 5: big part of it, and so yeah, we're at a 1733 01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,280 Speaker 5: point where the NBA postseason, the ratings haven't been higher 1734 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,920 Speaker 5: than it is now in a long time. And I think, 1735 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,679 Speaker 5: is it possible to get back to our original point 1736 01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:15,200 Speaker 5: that the conspiracy is correct, that they were trying to 1737 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 5: capture the two biggest box office teams to eventually meet 1738 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,400 Speaker 5: in the finals and for this to be, you know, 1739 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:31,000 Speaker 5: the reunion of some sort of NBA former contest that 1740 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,479 Speaker 5: we want to relive. Maybe, but maybe I don't know. 1741 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:36,080 Speaker 5: I don't know if I could go that far. 1742 01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:37,519 Speaker 3: Put it this way, they call it, you know what 1743 01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:41,759 Speaker 3: they used to call water cooler talk, A Nuggets heat 1744 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:43,640 Speaker 3: final versus Lakers Celtics. 1745 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:46,000 Speaker 2: You want to put a comparison on that? 1746 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,840 Speaker 5: Are you trying to say that that rivalry isn't alive? 1747 01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:51,720 Speaker 5: And well, here in twenty twenty three Nuggets. 1748 01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:55,599 Speaker 2: Heat Okay, that would be a zero buzz. 1749 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:56,400 Speaker 5: Okay. 1750 01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,719 Speaker 3: First of all, the Celtics do have to win a game, 1751 01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,799 Speaker 3: and that has kind up in a very short amount 1752 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,000 Speaker 3: of time. So what are the Celtics need to do. 1753 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 3: There's one player I think that they have not utilized 1754 01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:14,160 Speaker 3: to their full extent. We'll explain coming up. This is 1755 01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:22,440 Speaker 3: Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin, Rich Ornberger, Fox Sports Sunday. 1756 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,120 Speaker 3: All right, so you still have major plans today on 1757 01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:27,680 Speaker 3: Mother's Day or you got you got everything taken care of? 1758 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, We're we're gonna be It 1759 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,760 Speaker 5: seems like, as the text message is flowing during the show, 1760 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:36,280 Speaker 5: we're going to be busier, much busier later than I 1761 01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:40,600 Speaker 5: I once imagined.

She was like, 1806 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,960 Speaker 5: but all of this I'm gonna forget. She was like, 1807 01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,759 Speaker 5: I mean, they have these cute little feet in these hands. 1808 01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:58,960 Speaker 5: So I'm giving advice every father out there, tiny hansy 1809 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:03,680 Speaker 5: tynes hands.

I am telling you. 1812 01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,719 Speaker 3: When my boys were young, and they were nineteen months apart, 1813 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,559 Speaker 3: I woke up on Mother's Day in full panic. Oh no, 1814 01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:18,320 Speaker 3: I think Drake was maybe two and a half and 1815 01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:22,040 Speaker 3: Garrett was one no, and I thought I need to 1816 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 3: get a I need to get a Mother's Day card 1817 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,559 Speaker 3: from them, even though they obviously can't write anything or 1818 01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:28,200 Speaker 3: anything else. 1819 01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:30,280 Speaker 2: I literally grabbed both boys. 1820 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:34,760 Speaker 3: Threw them in the car, ran down, looking desperately, and 1821 01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:39,439 Speaker 3: then wrote out a card from them, starting with Dad's 1822 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:41,760 Speaker 3: really lame we wanted to get you know. 1823 01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1824 01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,320 Speaker 2: I was in full panic, yeah yeah, And then of 1825 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 2: course handed it to Denise. She's like, what is this? 1826 01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 2: The hell is this? Are you kidding me? 1827 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:55,920 Speaker 3: I just added I didn't know what to do I mean, 1828 01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,920 Speaker 3: I'm like, should I should I get a card from them? 1829 01:34:58,960 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 2: They're two and a half and one? 1830 01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 3: I mean, at what point do they need to get 1831 01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:05,080 Speaker 3: a card for mom? 1832 01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,599 Speaker 5: Right? We? So we I have we We started a tradition. 1833 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,800 Speaker 5: And again, steal any of these ideas, I'm none of 1834 01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,320 Speaker 5: them are trademarked. We started tradition. So when we bought 1835 01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:18,240 Speaker 5: a house, it was the first fence we built, right, 1836 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:20,240 Speaker 5: you know, and that was meaningful, like, you know, it's 1837 01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 5: our you know, it's like our little white picket fence. 1838 01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:24,519 Speaker 2: Deal, right, it's brown fence. But you get my point. 1839 01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,320 Speaker 5: So I've kept the scrap wood from the fence, and 1840 01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:29,960 Speaker 5: every mother's damn not kidding. I cut up a couple 1841 01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:33,400 Speaker 5: pieces of the fence and I tie them together on 1842 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,840 Speaker 5: the back using a couple of screws, and I get 1843 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,599 Speaker 5: either I get either handprints or footprints from the kids. 1844 01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,040 Speaker 5: I've been doing this for years now, and it works 1845 01:35:41,080 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 5: every time there's tears. Here go, she's not listening. Sure, 1846 01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:46,120 Speaker 5: she listens to none of my shows, so I'm not 1847 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:48,040 Speaker 5: spilling the beans for her. She probably can see it 1848 01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:50,519 Speaker 5: coming a million miles away at this point. But I'm 1849 01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,880 Speaker 5: telling you, if you have little kids especially, Do something 1850 01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,200 Speaker 5: with the feet prints, do something with the ham nice, 1851 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:58,479 Speaker 5: You're gonna save yourself a lot of heartache and they're 1852 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:01,960 Speaker 5: going to I mean cherish forever. Trust me, I've gotten 1853 01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:03,679 Speaker 5: her a million things over the years we've been married, 1854 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:07,280 Speaker 5: dating forever. But those things that hang on the wall, 1855 01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,559 Speaker 5: she looks at them sometimes she remembers, that's what you 1856 01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 5: need to do. Yeah, this is pre school. 1857 01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:13,040 Speaker 2: See once. 1858 01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:16,240 Speaker 3: Once they're in school, the schools know this. Yeah, so 1859 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,080 Speaker 3: they get class activities. 1860 01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:21,280 Speaker 5: So where making trees out of the hamdprints and the 1861 01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:25,559 Speaker 5: hearts of the hamprints. But yeah, at school, yeah. 1862 01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to figure out something. All right, Uh, 1863 01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:33,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you some numbers of two Celtic stars, 1864 01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:37,360 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna ask you which guy would you say 1865 01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:39,160 Speaker 2: is the go to guy? All I'm gonna give you 1866 01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:39,679 Speaker 2: the numbers. 1867 01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,920 Speaker 3: One of these guys in this series against the Philadelphia 1868 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:47,080 Speaker 3: seventy six ers, just in this series in the six games, 1869 01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:51,280 Speaker 3: is shooting fifty six percent from the field, forty two 1870 01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:55,400 Speaker 3: percent from three point land. The other guy is shooting 1871 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,799 Speaker 3: forty two percent from the field and thirty two percent 1872 01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:01,439 Speaker 3: from the free throw line. So fifty six and forty 1873 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:03,920 Speaker 3: two versus forty two and thirty two. 1874 01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:07,080 Speaker 2: That's a that's a pretty clear cut difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1875 01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:11,679 Speaker 2: Well the first guy is Jalen Brown. The second guy 1876 01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:15,639 Speaker 2: is Jason Tatum. I mean, so you have Jalen Brown 1877 01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 2: and made second team All NBA. He's an All Star, 1878 01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:21,639 Speaker 2: he's a legit All Star. Yeah, and you got Jason Tatum, 1879 01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:25,000 Speaker 2: who made first team All NBA for the second year 1880 01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,720 Speaker 2: in a row. Now, I know Tatum hit some big 1881 01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,559 Speaker 2: shots at the end of Game six after going zero 1882 01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 2: for ten in the first half. 1883 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:33,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1884 01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:36,200 Speaker 3: So I'm asking you as you approach your game plan 1885 01:37:36,240 --> 01:37:40,080 Speaker 3: for this Game seven, based on what they're doing in 1886 01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:43,240 Speaker 3: this series, who do you want to get the ball? 1887 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:46,000 Speaker 2: Who do you want taking the shot? This is what 1888 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:46,840 Speaker 2: I'm asking here. 1889 01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:50,280 Speaker 3: The guy who's fifty six percent from the field forty 1890 01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 3: two percent from the three point line or the guy 1891 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,240 Speaker 3: that's forty two percent from the field and thirty. 1892 01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:56,519 Speaker 2: Two percent from the three point line. 1893 01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:58,840 Speaker 5: This goes back to the conversation though that we were 1894 01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 5: just having about James Hart in Joel Embiid though, you know, 1895 01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,519 Speaker 5: and they're kind of faced with the same dilemma. You know, 1896 01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:08,559 Speaker 5: do you do you go with Joel Embiid, the guy 1897 01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:10,439 Speaker 5: who's been doing it for you all season long, the 1898 01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:16,280 Speaker 5: reigning NBA MVP. Or do you trust James Harden who's 1899 01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:19,720 Speaker 5: had his struggles in the postseason and the stats don't lie, 1900 01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:23,600 Speaker 5: especially recent elimination games that he's been in, where he 1901 01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:28,480 Speaker 5: hasn't factored in a positive way for his teams. It's 1902 01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,839 Speaker 5: a tough decision to make, and so with Brown and Tatum, 1903 01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:33,240 Speaker 5: the Celtics are faced with much of the same. I 1904 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 5: guess you got a base it. It's a field thing 1905 01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:37,559 Speaker 5: and that's where coaching is important. 1906 01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:42,080 Speaker 2: But here's the difference. Yeah, Jason Tatum has a Kobe 1907 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:46,400 Speaker 2: Bryant mentality. At the end of games, He's going to 1908 01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:51,920 Speaker 2: demand the ball he's got, you know Kobe Kobe's There 1909 01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,080 Speaker 2: are many records that Kobe has. 1910 01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:56,800 Speaker 3: It will never be broken. One is most missed field 1911 01:38:56,840 --> 01:38:59,559 Speaker 3: goals in a career. His record is so far and away, 1912 01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:02,599 Speaker 3: by far the most. Nobody never shot forty seven percent 1913 01:39:02,680 --> 01:39:05,479 Speaker 3: any season of his twenty year career. But at end 1914 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:09,120 Speaker 3: of games, forget it. Next level, the amount of shots 1915 01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:12,000 Speaker 3: that he attempted in the last minute of games that were, 1916 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:16,080 Speaker 3: you know, within two points is triple like anybody else, 1917 01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:17,800 Speaker 3: Tatum has that same mentality. 1918 01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he you know, again a game on the 1919 01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:24,280 Speaker 2: guy and I'm thinking, well, hang on, hang on, let 1920 01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:26,439 Speaker 2: me make I mean really this game six. 1921 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,839 Speaker 5: Let me give you his game success because these are important. 1922 01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1923 01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:33,320 Speaker 5: So with with obviously the game hinging on somebody stepping 1924 01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:38,600 Speaker 5: up and performing sixteen fourth quarter points after having just 1925 01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:42,800 Speaker 5: three in his previous thirty six minutes, Tatum alone outscored 1926 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 5: the Sixers sixteen to thirteen in the entire quarter. He 1927 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,840 Speaker 5: also finished with nine rebounds, six assists, two steals in 1928 01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:52,720 Speaker 5: two blocks. So even though he wasn't as an impactful 1929 01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:56,000 Speaker 5: offensively through the first thirty six minutes of the game, 1930 01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:59,679 Speaker 5: that final quarter plus what he had done defensively throughout 1931 01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:04,479 Speaker 5: the game were outstanding. I mean, it's you need a closer. 1932 01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:07,360 Speaker 5: Somebody's got to step up into that role. He's had 1933 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:11,519 Speaker 5: an underwhelming postseason for Boston, but it doesn't mean he can't. 1934 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:15,160 Speaker 5: Just mean he hasn't. So if he can put together 1935 01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:18,639 Speaker 5: a Game seven that resembles anything like the fourth quarter, 1936 01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:21,760 Speaker 5: especially for Game six, you gotta put your faith into 1937 01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:23,599 Speaker 5: him because he can score at that level. 1938 01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:27,720 Speaker 3: Well, I go back to the last game when they 1939 01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,719 Speaker 3: were eliminated in the NBA Finals by the Golden State Warriors. 1940 01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:36,759 Speaker 3: And if you remember that game, Jalen Brown scored thirty 1941 01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:40,439 Speaker 3: four points twelve to twenty three from the field, five 1942 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:43,160 Speaker 3: of eleven from three point land. In that same game, 1943 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:47,320 Speaker 3: Jason Tatum had thirteen points on six of eighteen shooting. 1944 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 3: He literally shot him right out of the game in 1945 01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:55,080 Speaker 3: a game at home. That was Game six at home. Yeah, 1946 01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:58,040 Speaker 3: that they ended up losing, and losing that serious to 1947 01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 3: the Warriors. So what you say about you got to 1948 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:04,960 Speaker 3: get a feel for this. Missoula is a rookie coach. 1949 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:05,400 Speaker 5: Yep. 1950 01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:09,120 Speaker 3: He's had some criticism in these playoffs about not calling 1951 01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:11,920 Speaker 3: timeouts and letting the players sort of figure it out. 1952 01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:16,160 Speaker 3: But I'm telling you right now, if he's having an 1953 01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:20,439 Speaker 3: off shooting night and Brown is not, and we're coming 1954 01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:22,559 Speaker 3: down the stretch, I know what he did in game six. 1955 01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:24,960 Speaker 5: Go back to game five to prove your point. Now, 1956 01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,479 Speaker 5: I'll give you more stats. Yeah, you remember that game 1957 01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:32,559 Speaker 5: five performance. He missed fourteen consecutive shots in the opening quarter. Yeah, 1958 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:34,880 Speaker 5: I mean that is the worst streak by any player 1959 01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,200 Speaker 5: in the postseason over the last quarter century. Yeah, I 1960 01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:41,080 Speaker 5: mean it was dreadful watching and it was hard to watch. 1961 01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,519 Speaker 3: But he's the kind of guy again with the Kobe Well, 1962 01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:45,599 Speaker 3: I may I might miss twenty year roll, but at 1963 01:41:45,600 --> 01:41:48,120 Speaker 3: some point and it worked in Game six. 1964 01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:49,439 Speaker 2: At some point he did. 1965 01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:53,960 Speaker 5: Start volume shooters though. I mean, there's something about it, look, 1966 01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,120 Speaker 5: and you gotta trust it a little bit like James 1967 01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 5: Harden is bad when he's off, but when he's on, 1968 01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 5: he's dynamite. That game that Joel Embiid in the last series, 1969 01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:07,280 Speaker 5: that that Joel Embiid missed for the Sixers, Harden had 1970 01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:10,160 Speaker 5: one of the best games of his career in the postseason. 1971 01:42:10,240 --> 01:42:14,680 Speaker 5: So look, I don't know. Yes, you have to you 1972 01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:17,000 Speaker 5: have to trust that Brown's gonna be consistent for you. 1973 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,280 Speaker 5: But Tatum is a closer man and he proved that 1974 01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 5: in Game six. So you gotta go based off feel. 1975 01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:27,720 Speaker 5: And if you're Doc facing this onslought and being the 1976 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,400 Speaker 5: veteran in the room, you gotta have an answer Otherwise 1977 01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:32,560 Speaker 5: those are gonna be some tough questions for Rivers to 1978 01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,400 Speaker 5: answer at the podium post game if they lose.

I wonder if 2130 01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:56,000 Speaker 5: this is coined already. I'll make a dirty Martinez. Do 2131 01:48:56,280 --> 01:49:02,280 Speaker 5: I like that tequila instead of vodka or jim all right, nobody, 2132 01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:06,000 Speaker 5: nobody tell anybody. I just said I'm going to create 2133 01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:09,479 Speaker 5: that recipe. And then we're. 2134 01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:18,240 Speaker 2: Going Sam nice and I I'm trying to remember kind 2135 01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,679 Speaker 2: of underwear head back then. Oh no, they were briefed. 2136 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:23,840 Speaker 5: They were they were white, they were tight, and they 2137 01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:28,800 Speaker 5: were they were they were hugging. Yeah. 2138 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,840 Speaker 2: But the moonlight, though, is timings everything. You've got to 2139 01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:35,519 Speaker 2: get the right lighting. Yes, yes, thank for the full effect. 2140 01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:40,240 Speaker 2: Alarming and I know my mother's day. Sorry, Mom's out there. 2141 01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:40,960 Speaker 2: Sorry we went that. 2142 01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:42,719 Speaker 5: Just lost your brunch. 2143 01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:45,960 Speaker 2: We understand, it's very understandable. All right. 2144 01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:47,680 Speaker 3: So while all of this is going on and we 2145 01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,000 Speaker 3: get ready for the tip off, where's the tip off? 2146 01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:52,680 Speaker 2: We're still waiting. They keep showing highlights of doctor j 2147 01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:54,599 Speaker 2: versus Larry Bird back in the day. 2148 01:49:55,040 --> 01:49:55,160 Speaker 5: Uh. 2149 01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:56,960 Speaker 3: But as this is going on, I want to get 2150 01:49:56,960 --> 01:50:00,280 Speaker 3: back to the NFL for a moment here and and 2151 01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:05,800 Speaker 3: talking about bias in scheduling in the National Football League. Now, 2152 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:10,000 Speaker 3: I still don't know exactly how the schedule is figured out. 2153 01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:12,840 Speaker 3: We know everything is based on the previous year, on 2154 01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:16,320 Speaker 3: who you play and where you play. All that's already predetermined. 2155 01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:18,800 Speaker 3: It's the order of the games, where do you get 2156 01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:22,880 Speaker 3: the buy and everything else. So every year, my younger 2157 01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:26,719 Speaker 3: son is one of the very few actual Chargers fans 2158 01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:30,439 Speaker 3: on the planet. There aren't many, but he is and 2159 01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:34,040 Speaker 3: always has been an I'll be a Chargers fan. So 2160 01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:37,240 Speaker 3: every year I've been taken. Since the last couple of years, 2161 01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:40,559 Speaker 3: I've been taking he and his brother to a Chargers game. 2162 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,080 Speaker 3: Two years ago was a Thursday night game against the Chiefs. 2163 01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:45,320 Speaker 3: Last year it was a Thursday night game, I believe, 2164 01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:47,480 Speaker 3: or a Monday night game against the Broncos. 2165 01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:48,240 Speaker 5: Oh yeah. 2166 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,680 Speaker 3: So this year I'm looking for one of those primetime 2167 01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:53,880 Speaker 3: games and I'm looking at the schedule and right out 2168 01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:59,160 Speaker 3: of the box, Monday night football at so far against 2169 01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:00,400 Speaker 3: the Dallas Cows. 2170 01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:05,439 Speaker 2: By the way, the Chargers have a bye in week five. Well, 2171 01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:09,080 Speaker 2: that's that's not good. The last thing you want. I mean, 2172 01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:11,600 Speaker 2: if you had a preference, I want to have a bye. 2173 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,960 Speaker 2: I would imagine the worst possible bye is the earliest 2174 01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:15,840 Speaker 2: you could have a bye. 2175 01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:16,759 Speaker 5: Yes, that's correct. 2176 01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,280 Speaker 3: I mean because do the math, that's the seventeen game season. 2177 01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:21,599 Speaker 3: You now have what thirteen straight weeks of playing games. 2178 01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:22,320 Speaker 3: That's pretty rough. 2179 01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:26,839 Speaker 2: That's rough. But not only that, coming out of the bye, 2180 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:29,919 Speaker 2: we're gonna give you a home game against the Dallas 2181 01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:32,920 Speaker 2: Cowboys where Cowboy fans will take of Oh, I don't 2182 01:51:32,920 --> 01:51:35,240 Speaker 2: know ninety percent of the crowd. 2183 01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:39,360 Speaker 5: However, I will say this though, Yeah, the Chargers have 2184 01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:46,040 Speaker 5: nothing to complain about, because that playoff appearance from the 2185 01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:51,040 Speaker 5: Chargers was disturbingly bad, epic. I mean that historic. That 2186 01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:54,200 Speaker 5: was a historic failure in the second half of that 2187 01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:57,240 Speaker 5: game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Who I got it, they're 2188 01:51:57,320 --> 01:51:59,360 Speaker 5: much better team than a lot of people thought they 2189 01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:03,280 Speaker 5: were going to be into the postseason. But still, I mean, 2190 01:52:03,360 --> 01:52:07,200 Speaker 5: for that offense to generate zero points to lose, that 2191 01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:13,400 Speaker 5: lead a shutout, pitching a shutout going into halftime is outrageous. 2192 01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:18,240 Speaker 5: So the fact that they've been rewarded with six primetime 2193 01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:22,080 Speaker 5: appearances in twenty twenty three. Six, they're matching the Chiefs, 2194 01:52:22,120 --> 01:52:24,800 Speaker 5: they're matching the New York Jets with Aaron Rodgers now 2195 01:52:24,880 --> 01:52:28,080 Speaker 5: six the most you can have in the NFL, and 2196 01:52:28,120 --> 01:52:31,400 Speaker 5: their first is against America's team at home. Mind you, 2197 01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:34,200 Speaker 5: I get it, the bye weeks a little early and 2198 01:52:34,240 --> 01:52:38,840 Speaker 5: that stinks, But after that playoff appearance, that's pretty good. 2199 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:40,639 Speaker 5: The NFL did right by the Trials. 2200 01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:43,960 Speaker 2: But you know why they're on the NFL. 2201 01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:46,840 Speaker 3: Ever since the Rams first moved the Chargers moved to LA, 2202 01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:50,600 Speaker 3: they have been desperate, desperate to generate a buzz in 2203 01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:54,080 Speaker 3: Los Angeles for their NFL team. That's part of it too, 2204 01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:57,360 Speaker 3: They're trying desperately. They're their homeskin, you know, going to 2205 01:52:57,360 --> 01:52:59,959 Speaker 3: be in LA. The building if you go to Sofi's 2206 01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:03,559 Speaker 3: stadium already the home of the NFL network. Upstairs are 2207 01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:06,880 Speaker 3: all these vacant offices where eventually the league officers are. 2208 01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:07,479 Speaker 2: All going to be there. 2209 01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:12,160 Speaker 3: They're doing anything possible to get some real buzz, not 2210 01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:14,559 Speaker 3: just bandwagon buzs like we had with the Rams a 2211 01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,439 Speaker 3: couple of years ago winning a Super Bowl that was 2212 01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:19,000 Speaker 3: bandwagon bus Yeah yeah, I mean that disappeared as soon 2213 01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,479 Speaker 3: as they went off the cliff last season, and the 2214 01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:26,240 Speaker 3: Chargers again outside of my son, hello and how many seriously, 2215 01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:29,519 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get back to my Twitter account at Cannon 2216 01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:32,880 Speaker 3: Hartman did this yesterday with the XFL I would imagine 2217 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:36,800 Speaker 3: I would get more, apparently more commotion about the how 2218 01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:41,479 Speaker 3: many people can actually identify themselves if you were to say, 2219 01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:42,040 Speaker 3: all right. 2220 01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,040 Speaker 5: As like a there's no other rooting interest, you are 2221 01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:46,280 Speaker 5: a Chargers football. 2222 01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:48,760 Speaker 3: You're not an NFL fan that, well, maybe I'm a 2223 01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,120 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert. No, no, no, I'm talking about you. All 2224 01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:54,880 Speaker 3: are the team you are, and you know how to 2225 01:53:54,920 --> 01:54:01,960 Speaker 3: define a fan. The Chargers are your team, your team. 2226 01:54:02,080 --> 01:54:04,519 Speaker 3: There is no other team. There's no you know, I 2227 01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:08,400 Speaker 3: might be no my son is that Okay? I'm trying 2228 01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:12,400 Speaker 3: to find at Cannon Hartman how many people can identify 2229 01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:14,760 Speaker 3: them You remember we saw that math a couple years ago. 2230 01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:18,960 Speaker 5: If you're like my mom, who liked the Chargers the 2231 01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:20,640 Speaker 5: most of all the teams I played for because she 2232 01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:22,440 Speaker 5: loved the powder blue uniforms. 2233 01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:26,719 Speaker 2: Now, she was just like, those are those gorgeous Richard 2234 01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:28,360 Speaker 2: you look so good. 2235 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:30,599 Speaker 5: With you tell them to wear the baby. 2236 01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:34,240 Speaker 3: You remember we had that map of the United States 2237 01:54:34,240 --> 01:54:37,000 Speaker 3: of every county in the United States. Yeah, yeah, So 2238 01:54:37,080 --> 01:54:41,000 Speaker 3: they have this map of thousands of counties throughout the 2239 01:54:41,160 --> 01:54:47,200 Speaker 3: entire United States, and they identified the favorite NFL team 2240 01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:52,080 Speaker 3: in every single minuscule county in the United States, and 2241 01:54:52,120 --> 01:54:55,240 Speaker 3: the Chargers showed up in like five. 2242 01:54:55,520 --> 01:55:00,800 Speaker 5: We was San Diego. Obviously, it was one air of Texas. 2243 01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:04,720 Speaker 5: I fire remembering correct, very remote, like in Tennessee or so. Yeah, 2244 01:55:04,760 --> 01:55:06,960 Speaker 5: there was one in Tennessee, one county in Tennessee, and 2245 01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:09,120 Speaker 5: then there was one county in Alabama. And I'm pretty 2246 01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:10,440 Speaker 5: sure that's where Philip. 2247 01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:12,520 Speaker 2: Rivers was born, Giant Mapp and he obviously had a 2248 01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:15,960 Speaker 2: lot of Cowboys and Steelers and Packers and Patriots. All 2249 01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:19,680 Speaker 2: there was was our Teina had fewer counties than the Chargers. 2250 01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:20,320 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 2251 01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:24,400 Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you another stat So along with the 2252 01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:27,760 Speaker 5: Chargers getting six, how about the teams that have no 2253 01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:32,240 Speaker 5: primetime games, and there's four of them. It's Atlanta, It's 2254 01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:35,480 Speaker 5: the Cardinals, it's the Colts, and it's the Texans. Now 2255 01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:38,360 Speaker 5: the Colts and the Texans took us quarterback in the 2256 01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:41,920 Speaker 5: top five. You're talking about Kyler Murray being factored out 2257 01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,560 Speaker 5: and Atlanta, granted, I mean there's not a lot of 2258 01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:47,760 Speaker 5: juice there, but they also have zero primetime games right now. 2259 01:55:48,280 --> 01:55:52,520 Speaker 5: It is amazing how many primetime games there are now 2260 01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 5: as opposed to years ago. And the fact that there 2261 01:55:55,840 --> 01:55:57,840 Speaker 5: are more teams than I think ever who have been 2262 01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:00,680 Speaker 5: left out of the primetime but they look, this is 2263 01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:04,160 Speaker 5: the modern NFL. Their rewarding teams who either a are 2264 01:56:04,200 --> 01:56:07,160 Speaker 5: playing in huge markets or b have huge, big time 2265 01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:09,360 Speaker 5: names at quarterback. That's really what it comes down to. 2266 01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:09,760 Speaker 1: All right. 2267 01:56:09,800 --> 01:56:12,360 Speaker 2: By the way, no responses so far, there is not it. 2268 01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:14,360 Speaker 2: I knew this was gonna happen with the Chargers. 2269 01:56:14,440 --> 01:56:17,560 Speaker 3: All right, the Celtics and Sixers have tipped it off. 2270 01:56:17,920 --> 01:56:20,760 Speaker 3: We're gonna keep you updated. This is Fox Sports Sunday, 2271 01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:25,040 Speaker 3: Steve Harvey, Rich Hornberger, Fox Sports Sunday. We are live 2272 01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:29,760 Speaker 3: from the Tyraq dot Com studios. All right, we got 2273 01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:31,800 Speaker 3: off to a big start for the Celtics, eight to 2274 01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,040 Speaker 3: two run to start it. But since then it's been 2275 01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:37,560 Speaker 3: all Sixers and they have now taken a ten to 2276 01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:41,640 Speaker 3: eight lead. And again, guys, we've been watching early on 2277 01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:45,120 Speaker 3: in this game, Jason Tatum being one of them. They 2278 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:47,160 Speaker 3: posted a stead he actually made a shot in the 2279 01:56:47,160 --> 01:56:50,440 Speaker 3: first quarter, which, based on this series, was news because 2280 01:56:50,440 --> 01:56:52,040 Speaker 3: he hasn't done much of anything. 2281 01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:55,280 Speaker 2: In the early portion of these games. Was news. It 2282 01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:58,120 Speaker 2: was news like he was like, Wow, by the. 2283 01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:02,280 Speaker 3: Way, they're posting some numbers of game seven performance not bad, 2284 01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:03,200 Speaker 3: and there I mean. 2285 01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:05,200 Speaker 2: Is three point percentages off the charts. 2286 01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the most fifty percent nearing fifty percent from 2287 01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:11,200 Speaker 5: the field, averaging close to twenty five points per game 2288 01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:12,520 Speaker 5: sevens that he's played in. 2289 01:57:12,560 --> 01:57:14,720 Speaker 3: And again, that dog game he had against the Warriors 2290 01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:16,440 Speaker 3: at home last year, that was a game six. 2291 01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:19,839 Speaker 5: Look, if there's any halo effect from how he played 2292 01:57:20,480 --> 01:57:23,320 Speaker 5: in Game six into Game seven, this is going to 2293 01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:26,720 Speaker 5: be a runaway for the Boston Celtics. However, I will 2294 01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:30,920 Speaker 5: say this, what the what the Sixers are doing as 2295 01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:34,680 Speaker 5: predicted is getting the ball into their playmakers' hands. But 2296 01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:38,800 Speaker 5: what they're doing Embiid and James Harden is kicking to 2297 01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:42,720 Speaker 5: the perimeter and they're making some wide open threes. So 2298 01:57:43,320 --> 01:57:45,920 Speaker 5: Boston's got to do a better job in you know, 2299 01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:50,240 Speaker 5: man to man defense, and they have to take away 2300 01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:54,560 Speaker 5: the perimeter shot. Otherwise this Philadelphia seventy six ers team 2301 01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:55,840 Speaker 5: is going to keep it close all day. 2302 01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:56,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 2303 01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:58,800 Speaker 3: I mean, they're doing the same thing again, Harden getting 2304 01:57:58,880 --> 01:58:01,760 Speaker 3: into the lane and that's always a big part of this. 2305 01:58:02,360 --> 01:58:05,920 Speaker 3: Nice pass by James Harden. So fifteen to ten Philadelphia. 2306 01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:08,640 Speaker 3: But this is interesting because I'm watching the Celtics right 2307 01:58:08,680 --> 01:58:11,800 Speaker 3: now struggle defensively early in this game. This is a 2308 01:58:11,840 --> 01:58:15,160 Speaker 3: team that had more players get All Defensive Team votes, 2309 01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:18,680 Speaker 3: more players get Defensive Player of the Year votes than 2310 01:58:18,680 --> 01:58:22,800 Speaker 3: any other team. So based on personnel, this is considered 2311 01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:27,480 Speaker 3: the best team defense. But right now they're going to 2312 01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:30,240 Speaker 3: have to make some adjustments. Philadelphia up five early in 2313 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:34,720 Speaker 3: this game, and all right, well there, you know, Tatum's 2314 01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:37,680 Speaker 3: a key in this game? Really is again you when 2315 01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,320 Speaker 3: you when you get down to these kind of games 2316 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:42,320 Speaker 3: and Tatum's off to a good start. 2317 01:58:43,080 --> 01:58:44,520 Speaker 2: Your stars have to show up. 2318 01:58:44,600 --> 01:58:47,120 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean that's why you're being paid thirty 2319 01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:51,120 Speaker 3: forty million dollars a year for games exactly like this. 2320 01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:54,800 Speaker 5: Either your stars have to show up or the officiating 2321 01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:58,080 Speaker 5: crew for the Celtics has to show up. Because Doc Rivers, 2322 01:58:58,160 --> 01:59:01,200 Speaker 5: if there's one big takeaway from his Game six post 2323 01:59:01,200 --> 01:59:06,080 Speaker 5: game was he was disappointed in the officiating that the 2324 01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:10,400 Speaker 5: Sixers underwent throughout the course of Game six. And for 2325 01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:12,920 Speaker 5: obvious reasons. There's a lot of people who can who 2326 01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:15,760 Speaker 5: think that the NBA is conspiring to keep the Boston 2327 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:20,080 Speaker 5: late into this NBA postseason. But we'll see what happens 2328 01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:23,400 Speaker 5: here home floor. You know that Boston's gonna get some calls, 2329 01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:25,680 Speaker 5: but we'll see what the disparity looks like. Come then 2330 01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:26,160 Speaker 5: to the game. 2331 01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:28,880 Speaker 3: Well, we had an on each situation, Tobias Harris going 2332 01:59:28,880 --> 01:59:30,240 Speaker 3: down and paying a lot of guys go down in 2333 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:33,560 Speaker 3: pain these days. Oh yeah, yeah, No, very soccer like that. 2334 01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:35,800 Speaker 5: I mean there are occasions where a guy might even 2335 01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:37,280 Speaker 5: say I can't feel my own. 2336 01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,320 Speaker 2: It wasn't an ad He was in a wheelchair. 2337 01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:42,040 Speaker 5: Yes, he got hit in the head very hard by 2338 01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:45,960 Speaker 5: Kevon Looney and he seemed to be wheeled effect. No, No, 2339 01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:48,760 Speaker 5: he came back because you know he was. He was okay, 2340 01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:51,480 Speaker 5: it was ro Can. Either one of these teams beat 2341 01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:54,920 Speaker 5: the Miami Heat. We tillic talk some NBA here on 2342 01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:56,040 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio. 2343 01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:59,040 Speaker 3: All right, we're rolling along. We got a tiewin going 2344 01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:02,360 Speaker 3: on Game seven. But between the Sixers and the Celtics, 2345 02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,680 Speaker 3: it is Mother's Day and this is Fox Sports Sunday, 2346 02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:08,440 Speaker 3: where you are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot 2347 02:00:08,480 --> 02:00:09,160 Speaker 3: Com studios. 2348 02:00:09,200 --> 02:00:10,040 Speaker 2: Tyrack dot Com. 2349 02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:12,360 Speaker 3: We're gonna help get you there and unmatched selection fast 2350 02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:15,960 Speaker 3: reshipping free Road has a protection over ten thousand recommended 2351 02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:19,680 Speaker 3: installers tire rack dot com the way tire buying should 2352 02:00:19,720 --> 02:00:21,880 Speaker 3: be rich. I need to follow up on a question 2353 02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:26,080 Speaker 3: I put out earlier on the show. We are trying 2354 02:00:26,120 --> 02:00:31,520 Speaker 3: to identify whether there were any true Chargers fans, True 2355 02:00:31,600 --> 02:00:37,200 Speaker 3: Chargers fans, and I got a couple on Twitter. Here 2356 02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:41,920 Speaker 3: here's one. I am a die hard Chargers fan through 2357 02:00:41,960 --> 02:00:44,839 Speaker 3: and through. I love my Chargers ever since I started 2358 02:00:44,840 --> 02:00:47,680 Speaker 3: watching football at a young age. All right, that sounds 2359 02:00:47,680 --> 02:00:51,680 Speaker 3: like a Chargers fan. Here's another one, Bolt's power. I've 2360 02:00:51,680 --> 02:00:53,000 Speaker 3: been a Chargers. 2361 02:00:52,560 --> 02:00:55,640 Speaker 2: Fan since they returned to LA. Well, first of all, 2362 02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:57,520 Speaker 2: you return to LA. 2363 02:00:57,760 --> 02:00:58,680 Speaker 5: They were there for a year. 2364 02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:02,320 Speaker 3: You remember we were doing that old thing about the 2365 02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:06,440 Speaker 3: Chargers returning to LA. In the games I've attended so 2366 02:01:06,440 --> 02:01:08,560 Speaker 3: far over the last few years, the Charger fan base 2367 02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:11,720 Speaker 3: has definitely grown and will continue to do with Herbert 2368 02:01:11,760 --> 02:01:13,600 Speaker 3: and the competitive team they have put together. 2369 02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:16,160 Speaker 5: Now that I don't disagree with, I will say this 2370 02:01:16,280 --> 02:01:22,160 Speaker 5: about fan bases. If you have a franchise quarterback and 2371 02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:24,920 Speaker 5: one is talented as justin herb but I think he's sensational. 2372 02:01:25,040 --> 02:01:25,600 Speaker 2: What's he won? 2373 02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:28,720 Speaker 5: You mean in terms of postseason games? 2374 02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:33,080 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah, he's beginning to mirror his predecessor 2375 02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:36,320 Speaker 3: Philip Rivers. You know, a guy who's obviously a super 2376 02:01:36,440 --> 02:01:39,280 Speaker 3: quarterback got to win some big games if you want 2377 02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:40,840 Speaker 3: to put yourself in the when you look at the 2378 02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:44,680 Speaker 3: AFC right now, and obviously you got Mahomes and you 2379 02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:49,640 Speaker 3: got Allen and you got Burrow, I mean, you know, 2380 02:01:50,040 --> 02:01:52,080 Speaker 3: and not only that, he just got out dueled by 2381 02:01:52,320 --> 02:01:55,560 Speaker 3: a quarterback in Jacksonville. So I'm trying to figure out 2382 02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:58,160 Speaker 3: where the you know, Lamar Jackson's in the l He's 2383 02:01:58,160 --> 02:02:00,320 Speaker 3: a young quarterback too, yeah, he is, you know, and 2384 02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:03,760 Speaker 3: he's going to have to start winning game. He can't 2385 02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:07,200 Speaker 3: blow games like that. Well all right, yes, because that's 2386 02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:08,360 Speaker 3: his one playoff game. 2387 02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:12,360 Speaker 5: So I do agree that he will have to win 2388 02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:15,160 Speaker 5: playoff games if he was going to go down, notably 2389 02:02:15,320 --> 02:02:18,280 Speaker 5: as a great quarterback in the future. But this, this 2390 02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:22,920 Speaker 5: guy who's three years into his career, yeah, was springboarded 2391 02:02:22,960 --> 02:02:26,120 Speaker 5: into his career off of an injury to the veterans 2392 02:02:26,120 --> 02:02:28,560 Speaker 5: starting quarterback in front of him, and then dueled with 2393 02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:32,160 Speaker 5: then reigning Super Bowl champs who are actually the reigning 2394 02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:36,880 Speaker 5: Super Bowl champs this year coincidentally, the Kansas City Chiefs, 2395 02:02:36,960 --> 02:02:39,800 Speaker 5: and showed out took them to overtime, look great in 2396 02:02:39,840 --> 02:02:43,200 Speaker 5: the start, and has never looked back. Justin Herbert is 2397 02:02:43,240 --> 02:02:46,520 Speaker 5: a special talent. There's no questioning that can the Chargers 2398 02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:49,800 Speaker 5: assemble a roster around him that either A is talented 2399 02:02:49,920 --> 02:02:52,720 Speaker 5: enough or B can stay on the field and not 2400 02:02:52,760 --> 02:02:55,240 Speaker 5: get injured enough that they can make a deep run. 2401 02:02:56,040 --> 02:02:59,320 Speaker 5: I mean, I want to be critical of the Chargers 2402 02:02:59,480 --> 02:03:02,560 Speaker 5: game play more than I want to be critical of 2403 02:03:02,720 --> 02:03:06,320 Speaker 5: Justin Herbert and his game play. Even in that postseason 2404 02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:10,320 Speaker 5: appearance against Jacksonville they got out coached. But there will 2405 02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:13,520 Speaker 5: come a certain point, and this happens to any great 2406 02:03:13,600 --> 02:03:19,840 Speaker 5: quarterback who struggles in elimination games and clutch moments in 2407 02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:22,440 Speaker 5: whether it's in the regular season or in the postseason, 2408 02:03:22,440 --> 02:03:25,680 Speaker 5: because you can be eliminated in the regular season. If 2409 02:03:25,680 --> 02:03:28,560 Speaker 5: he doesn't start showing up, then that conversation can be had. 2410 02:03:28,560 --> 02:03:29,440 Speaker 5: I think it's too early. 2411 02:03:29,480 --> 02:03:33,560 Speaker 3: Still, well again, interesting note here on his predecessors. I 2412 02:03:33,560 --> 02:03:35,520 Speaker 3: can't believe we're talking charges, but I want to fill 2413 02:03:35,560 --> 02:03:38,880 Speaker 3: your interested thought here. Mike McCoy, who you played for, 2414 02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:42,600 Speaker 3: and Anthony Lynn his successor. Both of them had winning 2415 02:03:42,760 --> 02:03:45,200 Speaker 3: seasons in their first two years as the coach of 2416 02:03:45,240 --> 02:03:49,080 Speaker 3: the Chargers. Both actually won a playoff game within their 2417 02:03:49,080 --> 02:03:51,760 Speaker 3: first two years of being the Chargers head coach. For 2418 02:03:51,880 --> 02:03:54,640 Speaker 3: both of them, the next two seasons or losing seasons 2419 02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:58,080 Speaker 3: and they would lose their so Honestly, at this point, 2420 02:03:58,080 --> 02:04:02,000 Speaker 3: Brandon Staley is the worst record wise at this point 2421 02:04:02,040 --> 02:04:04,880 Speaker 3: of his coaching career in the Tom te LESCo era. 2422 02:04:05,720 --> 02:04:09,120 Speaker 3: And again, I don't know how many general managers who 2423 02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:13,040 Speaker 3: have an overall losing record over a decade still have 2424 02:04:13,120 --> 02:04:15,600 Speaker 3: a job, But this tells you a lot about the 2425 02:04:15,720 --> 02:04:19,240 Speaker 3: organization because again, when you're president of football operations is 2426 02:04:19,240 --> 02:04:21,880 Speaker 3: the owner's son and his best friend happens to be 2427 02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:23,400 Speaker 3: the general manager of the team. 2428 02:04:23,760 --> 02:04:25,680 Speaker 2: That's a pretty good way to have job security. 2429 02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:28,560 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, if you're a Chargers fan, it may not be 2430 02:04:28,640 --> 02:04:31,440 Speaker 3: the best formula to get where you ultimately want to get, 2431 02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:33,400 Speaker 3: and that is to the Super Bowl. 2432 02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:38,840 Speaker 5: I played with the Chargers in twenty thirteen, that playoff 2433 02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:43,080 Speaker 5: appearance in victory for Mike McCoy that year, and I 2434 02:04:43,120 --> 02:04:46,240 Speaker 5: can tell you something. Something happens when a new regime 2435 02:04:46,320 --> 02:04:48,560 Speaker 5: takes over but has trust in what the old regime 2436 02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:52,520 Speaker 5: put together. And that's the reason why we had success 2437 02:04:52,640 --> 02:04:55,760 Speaker 5: is there was this carryover effect and it was felt 2438 02:04:55,800 --> 02:04:57,240 Speaker 5: and it was known by a lot of the players. 2439 02:04:57,360 --> 02:04:59,080 Speaker 2: Don't underplay your role in this. 2440 02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:03,160 Speaker 3: Okay, So Nick Hardwick, legendary center, the Chargers gets banged up, 2441 02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:06,360 Speaker 3: they need somebody to step in in the big games 2442 02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:10,040 Speaker 3: down the stretch, and they reach out to rich Ornborough. Yeah, 2443 02:05:10,080 --> 02:05:13,960 Speaker 3: and I'm sorry. Weren't you there in the middle during 2444 02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:17,960 Speaker 3: that run? Yes, yes, okay, So I just I just 2445 02:05:18,000 --> 02:05:19,640 Speaker 3: want to clarify for the rest, all right. 2446 02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:21,760 Speaker 5: Well, but getting back to the point I was making, 2447 02:05:21,800 --> 02:05:24,520 Speaker 5: and it was a lot of fun, and that team 2448 02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,200 Speaker 5: was a lot of fun, but the team was broken apart, 2449 02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:29,320 Speaker 5: you know, because like a lot of teams, you go 2450 02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:32,720 Speaker 5: through that regime change. I want to build it in 2451 02:05:32,800 --> 02:05:35,680 Speaker 5: my own vision and to LESCo has done that a 2452 02:05:35,720 --> 02:05:37,560 Speaker 5: couple of times now, and he's been trusted to do 2453 02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:40,160 Speaker 5: that a couple of times now. I will argue, though, 2454 02:05:41,480 --> 02:05:46,280 Speaker 5: they are probably at a more secure point this offseason 2455 02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:50,880 Speaker 5: than in most of recent history with the Chargers, whether 2456 02:05:50,920 --> 02:05:54,600 Speaker 5: it be during their time recently as recent as since 2457 02:05:54,640 --> 02:05:58,120 Speaker 5: they left San Diego or in LA And I think 2458 02:05:58,160 --> 02:06:00,240 Speaker 5: that this is a team on paper and I you 2459 02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:02,920 Speaker 5: say this a lot about the Chargers. It feels like 2460 02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:05,640 Speaker 5: it's a broken record at this point. Yeah, on paper, 2461 02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:08,080 Speaker 5: this is a team who can contend in the AFC, 2462 02:06:08,280 --> 02:06:11,280 Speaker 5: There's no doubt in my mind. However, they need to 2463 02:06:11,320 --> 02:06:15,280 Speaker 5: stay healthy and Brandon Stally more importantly to me than 2464 02:06:15,520 --> 02:06:18,280 Speaker 5: Justin Herbert needs to prove that he can coach in 2465 02:06:18,360 --> 02:06:18,960 Speaker 5: big games. 2466 02:06:19,480 --> 02:06:21,480 Speaker 2: That's the big that's the big question mark. 2467 02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:25,160 Speaker 3: Look, it is no secret in sports that it all 2468 02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:27,520 Speaker 3: starts at the top. Let's look at the Steelers a 2469 02:06:27,600 --> 02:06:30,720 Speaker 3: year ago. How did that team end up the winning record? 2470 02:06:30,800 --> 02:06:31,680 Speaker 5: I have no idea. 2471 02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:37,440 Speaker 3: How did that team that in mid season look ridiculously 2472 02:06:37,480 --> 02:06:38,800 Speaker 3: bad with a rookie quarterback? 2473 02:06:38,840 --> 02:06:41,440 Speaker 2: Predictably, right, Kenny Big gets a rookie quarterback. He's got 2474 02:06:41,480 --> 02:06:42,720 Speaker 2: to learn stuff. 2475 02:06:43,640 --> 02:06:45,680 Speaker 3: When it was all said down the end of winning record, 2476 02:06:46,160 --> 02:06:49,360 Speaker 3: I don't mean I know, if anything, Mike Tomlin, who's 2477 02:06:49,400 --> 02:06:52,040 Speaker 3: already obviously got a Hall of Fame resume, just took 2478 02:06:52,040 --> 02:06:54,680 Speaker 3: it next level. Still hasn't had a losing record, which 2479 02:06:54,760 --> 02:06:57,320 Speaker 3: is a miracle. But that is that's to me as 2480 02:06:57,360 --> 02:06:58,240 Speaker 3: an organization. 2481 02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:02,440 Speaker 5: They finished their season, They finished their season with an 2482 02:07:02,560 --> 02:07:05,640 Speaker 5: unbelievable run of wins. 2483 02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:08,960 Speaker 3: And I'm like miracle wins, Like yeah, you know, like 2484 02:07:09,080 --> 02:07:11,879 Speaker 3: you're not blowing people away, but you know, just finding 2485 02:07:12,000 --> 02:07:12,680 Speaker 3: a way to win. 2486 02:07:12,880 --> 02:07:16,280 Speaker 5: They want to me is an organization. They won six 2487 02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:18,880 Speaker 5: of their last seven games. Yeah, they finished their season 2488 02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:20,320 Speaker 5: with a four game win stream. 2489 02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:20,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2490 02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:22,000 Speaker 2: How many of those were blowout wins? 2491 02:07:22,080 --> 02:07:26,160 Speaker 5: Oh? Not many of them? Now, I mean it was Cleveland, Cleveland, 2492 02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:30,160 Speaker 5: they beat them in the season the season capper twenty fourteen. 2493 02:07:30,200 --> 02:07:31,360 Speaker 5: But yeah, all of these. 2494 02:07:31,400 --> 02:07:33,400 Speaker 3: They're not putting up forty points. No, No, it was 2495 02:07:33,440 --> 02:07:36,280 Speaker 3: field goal? Yeah, go ahead, yes, Sam, what do you 2496 02:07:36,280 --> 02:07:39,040 Speaker 3: got buddy? Which offense was harder to watch last year? 2497 02:07:39,360 --> 02:07:42,360 Speaker 3: The Bucks, the Steelers, or Iowa Hawkeye football. 2498 02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:45,320 Speaker 10: Iowa stands alone. I don't know the other black and 2499 02:07:45,320 --> 02:07:47,120 Speaker 10: gold team. The Steelers is pretty tough to watch. 2500 02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:49,640 Speaker 2: The Iowa brought back the flying win. 2501 02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:53,360 Speaker 5: Yeah. The only thing that I will say, wetright into 2502 02:07:53,400 --> 02:07:57,920 Speaker 5: the dirt about the Steelers was that they they really 2503 02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:01,120 Speaker 5: didn't feel like Tomlin was making excuse like he was 2504 02:08:01,560 --> 02:08:04,160 Speaker 5: he was. He was saying, look, you know where this 2505 02:08:04,240 --> 02:08:06,000 Speaker 5: is gonna be rough like he was. He was in 2506 02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:08,600 Speaker 5: He wasn't polishing this up. He was like, we're young, 2507 02:08:08,720 --> 02:08:10,240 Speaker 5: we need to figure things out. 2508 02:08:10,480 --> 02:08:13,200 Speaker 2: I feel like in Iowa press conferences are like, we're 2509 02:08:13,200 --> 02:08:15,880 Speaker 2: gonna keep doing what we do like they were making 2510 02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:17,800 Speaker 2: We're just gonna do it better this year. Yeah, we're 2511 02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:21,680 Speaker 2: doing it was mid season. I remember I forget. 2512 02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:23,440 Speaker 5: Who was speaking was either the head coach or the 2513 02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:25,920 Speaker 5: offensive coordinator, and it was just like, you know what, 2514 02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:27,560 Speaker 5: we just got to stick to the plan. And I 2515 02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:31,960 Speaker 5: remember you pulling your hair out, like, no, no, don't 2516 02:08:32,400 --> 02:08:36,000 Speaker 5: don't stick to the plan. It was amazing. That season 2517 02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:37,320 Speaker 5: was amazing. 2518 02:08:37,560 --> 02:08:41,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, Kirk Farence, is it is 2519 02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:43,240 Speaker 2: it time to turn it? 2520 02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:45,760 Speaker 5: Mean to you, uh rope football this? 2521 02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:46,240 Speaker 2: Well? 2522 02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:48,640 Speaker 3: You you been, you brought it up, and now now 2523 02:08:48,680 --> 02:08:51,000 Speaker 3: you're questioning a guy that will be in the College 2524 02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:52,160 Speaker 3: Football Hall of Fame someday. 2525 02:08:52,240 --> 02:08:53,200 Speaker 5: You want him out, don't you. 2526 02:08:53,360 --> 02:08:56,080 Speaker 2: It's time to turn the page. Twenty fifth season? Well, 2527 02:08:56,120 --> 02:08:58,600 Speaker 2: I mean, how long? How long was Hayden Fry there? 2528 02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:01,120 Speaker 2: Twenty years? Twenty years?

We're talking about, 2536 02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:18,600 Speaker 2: we're talking about Sam, why the Chargers would continue to 2537 02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:22,440 Speaker 2: struggle to make any advancement. Then I bring in the Steelers. 2538 02:09:22,480 --> 02:09:25,040 Speaker 3: Let's get back on, because they are in the organization 2539 02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:29,360 Speaker 3: that understands how to continue to win even when you're 2540 02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:32,400 Speaker 3: obviously in full remil rebuild mode. 2541 02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:36,320 Speaker 2: And somehow Iowa, Sam turned it into a hawkey. I'm sorry, 2542 02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:37,400 Speaker 2: We're will wait a few more. 2543 02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:41,120 Speaker 9: Game seven between the Sixers and the Celtics is super close, 2544 02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:42,720 Speaker 9: and Sam, let's talk about Kirk Farrence. 2545 02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:45,800 Speaker 3: Well, actually right now, now wait a second, I'm glad 2546 02:09:45,880 --> 02:09:46,680 Speaker 3: you brought that up. 2547 02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:49,760 Speaker 2: Bow mister Eagles fan.

Can you can you Sooners? 2555 02:10:08,640 --> 02:10:08,800 Speaker 1: Well? 2556 02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:11,120 Speaker 3: Dogs doesn't get to Can you hold up your phone? 2557 02:10:11,520 --> 02:10:13,160 Speaker 3: Do you have your phone with you? You see the 2558 02:10:13,200 --> 02:10:13,800 Speaker 3: color on that? 2559 02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:14,160 Speaker 8: Yeah? 2560 02:10:14,280 --> 02:10:15,520 Speaker 2: Do do you have your backpack? 2561 02:10:15,600 --> 02:10:16,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's in the corner. 2562 02:10:16,880 --> 02:10:18,000 Speaker 9: But it is also Kelly Green. 2563 02:10:18,160 --> 02:10:19,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean he's all it. 2564 02:10:20,080 --> 02:10:22,280 Speaker 9: We we didn't have football here in Los Angeles for 2565 02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:22,840 Speaker 9: a long time. 2566 02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:27,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, so everybody was a nomad. Jason Tatum, by the way, 2567 02:10:27,840 --> 02:10:31,560 Speaker 5: is having a game. Yeah, eleven first quarter points so far. 2568 02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:34,640 Speaker 5: Unfortunately nobody else is hitting. Six Ers are up by six. 2569 02:10:34,760 --> 02:10:37,440 Speaker 5: But I mean, if the question was is he going 2570 02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:40,400 Speaker 5: to show up today, the question has been answered. I mean, 2571 02:10:40,440 --> 02:10:42,480 Speaker 5: he's carrying over what he did in the fourth quarter 2572 02:10:42,480 --> 02:10:44,920 Speaker 5: of Game six here in Game seven against the Sixers, 2573 02:10:45,200 --> 02:10:47,360 Speaker 5: and you're right, he's really the only one doing work 2574 02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:51,760 Speaker 5: for this offense so far. But my goodness, timely. 2575 02:10:52,000 --> 02:10:54,080 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna check here because, like I said, I 2576 02:10:54,160 --> 02:10:56,640 Speaker 3: was talking of Jaylen Brown, who came into this game 2577 02:10:56,760 --> 02:10:59,560 Speaker 3: in this series shooting fifty six percent from the field 2578 02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:02,880 Speaker 3: and forty two percent from three point lands. So far 2579 02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:06,600 Speaker 3: in this game, Jalen Brown has taken a total of 2580 02:11:07,640 --> 02:11:08,360 Speaker 3: eight shots. 2581 02:11:08,680 --> 02:11:09,600 Speaker 2: He's three for eight. 2582 02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:12,520 Speaker 3: Actually, when you look at this team right now, Brogden, 2583 02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:15,040 Speaker 3: who was six Man of the Year, has no points. 2584 02:11:14,640 --> 02:11:15,240 Speaker 5: Off the bench. 2585 02:11:15,280 --> 02:11:18,120 Speaker 3: That's not gonna help, and the bigs aren't doing much 2586 02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:21,520 Speaker 3: of anything. So right now, Tatum, Brown holding up offensively 2587 02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:24,280 Speaker 3: as far as hard in his concern because I said 2588 02:11:24,280 --> 02:11:27,040 Speaker 3: how much importance it was to get him engaged. His 2589 02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:30,560 Speaker 3: two points, but his four assists, and I think most 2590 02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:32,440 Speaker 3: of those have ended up three point shots. 2591 02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:35,280 Speaker 2: And Beads got five points for so far. Actually the 2592 02:11:35,360 --> 02:11:37,720 Speaker 2: leading scorer for the Sixers, PJ. Tucker. 2593 02:11:37,880 --> 02:11:39,080 Speaker 5: Well, of course everybody saw that. 2594 02:11:39,120 --> 02:11:40,920 Speaker 2: What is he like fifty years old? How long is 2595 02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:42,240 Speaker 2: PJ Tucker around? 2596 02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:46,080 Speaker 3: Gezh All right, we'll continue our coverage of Game seven 2597 02:11:46,160 --> 02:11:49,640 Speaker 3: between the Celtics and the Sixers much more, also on 2598 02:11:49,680 --> 02:11:54,440 Speaker 3: the recently released NFL schedule. This is Fox Sports Sunday, 2599 02:11:55,120 --> 02:11:59,520 Speaker 3: Steve Harvin, Rich Harnberger, Fox Sports Sunday Live from the 2600 02:11:59,560 --> 02:12:01,160 Speaker 3: Tire dot Com Studios. 2601 02:12:02,320 --> 02:12:03,480 Speaker 2: Celtics are in trouble. 2602 02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:09,800 Speaker 3: Early thirty five, twenty six Sixers and do the math. 2603 02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:15,440 Speaker 3: Boston has twenty six points in fifteen minutes. That is 2604 02:12:15,480 --> 02:12:18,120 Speaker 3: not going to get it done. By the way Joe Missoula, 2605 02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:20,120 Speaker 3: I would I would say this. 2606 02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:23,360 Speaker 2: I know he's a rookie coach and maybe he's got 2607 02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:26,960 Speaker 2: to learn a few things, but if you lose this 2608 02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:33,240 Speaker 2: game at home, Game seven, hard Town, the way they're rifling, 2609 02:12:33,440 --> 02:12:37,800 Speaker 2: and again when you have coaches out there available, you know, 2610 02:12:37,920 --> 02:12:43,920 Speaker 2: guys that actually have championships on their resume. I mean, essentially, 2611 02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:47,160 Speaker 2: Missoula was an interim guy, right, I mean, they needed 2612 02:12:47,200 --> 02:12:49,440 Speaker 2: a coach in the worst way. They give this guy 2613 02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:55,400 Speaker 2: an opportunity, but right now they're on the the other 2614 02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:57,919 Speaker 2: end of it. Yeah, nine point lead for the Sixers. 2615 02:12:57,960 --> 02:13:01,800 Speaker 5: Look again, I understand where you come from, and a 2616 02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:04,920 Speaker 5: lot of people share this perspective that coaching really matters 2617 02:13:04,960 --> 02:13:09,160 Speaker 5: in the NBA and in the postseason it matters more. 2618 02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:12,400 Speaker 5: I'm not one of these people. I don't think it's 2619 02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:16,040 Speaker 5: as critical or crucial, but I do think that there 2620 02:13:16,120 --> 02:13:19,200 Speaker 5: is a blood loss amongst the fan base after a 2621 02:13:19,240 --> 02:13:22,120 Speaker 5: loss like this, and if they lose, because look, there's 2622 02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:23,720 Speaker 5: a lot of game left here. They're only in the 2623 02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:29,080 Speaker 5: second quarter here. But if this game is lost, then 2624 02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:32,640 Speaker 5: I could very easily see Missoula being the sacrificial lamb. 2625 02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:32,880 Speaker 2: Oh. 2626 02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:35,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, because what it says to your fan base is, look, 2627 02:13:36,440 --> 02:13:39,640 Speaker 5: we know there's a problem. We understand we're talented enough 2628 02:13:39,640 --> 02:13:43,080 Speaker 5: to play for an Eastern Conference final or an NBA final. 2629 02:13:43,520 --> 02:13:46,160 Speaker 5: We just need to find the right guy to lead 2630 02:13:46,240 --> 02:13:48,240 Speaker 5: us there. Meanwhile, they have all the parts they need 2631 02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:51,440 Speaker 5: They just need these guys to play better. Jalen Brown, 2632 02:13:51,560 --> 02:13:57,160 Speaker 5: Jason Tatum, the surrounding cast here. You have to get 2633 02:13:57,160 --> 02:14:01,120 Speaker 5: better play out of them. Horford Williams. They have the talent. 2634 02:14:01,520 --> 02:14:04,240 Speaker 5: This is ultimately one of the most talented teams in 2635 02:14:04,320 --> 02:14:08,000 Speaker 5: the NBA. And they're not injured. Although we're watching a 2636 02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:11,000 Speaker 5: Celtics player under the hoop right now suffering with something, 2637 02:14:11,280 --> 02:14:13,840 Speaker 5: but that that's that would be an excuse. It would 2638 02:14:13,840 --> 02:14:16,040 Speaker 5: be like, Okay, well they got hurt. Well they haven't, 2639 02:14:16,360 --> 02:14:20,960 Speaker 5: you know, so it's not Missoula. It's not Missoula. He's 2640 02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:24,800 Speaker 5: not the problem. It's it's underperforming Jellen Brown. By the way, 2641 02:14:24,880 --> 02:14:25,800 Speaker 5: is the Celtics. 2642 02:14:25,440 --> 02:14:28,320 Speaker 2: Who's It looked like he got hit in the eye. 2643 02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:32,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it looked like he was going up to defend 2644 02:14:32,480 --> 02:14:35,840 Speaker 5: Harden who was driving the lane on a transition, But 2645 02:14:35,880 --> 02:14:37,480 Speaker 5: he might have gotten that pinky in his eye and 2646 02:14:37,520 --> 02:14:39,000 Speaker 5: never know it was a forearm. 2647 02:14:39,200 --> 02:14:42,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and by the way, it didn't look like accident. 2648 02:14:42,160 --> 02:14:47,640 Speaker 5: Well, I will say through that saw Game five Lakers Warriors, 2649 02:14:47,640 --> 02:14:49,280 Speaker 5: somebody get the wheelchair ready. 2650 02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:51,760 Speaker 2: Hold ones say, is that a flagrant? It could be 2651 02:14:52,280 --> 02:14:56,040 Speaker 2: that would that was a swinging forearm by oh. 2652 02:14:55,960 --> 02:14:58,040 Speaker 5: I'm seeing blood. He's bleeding from the lip. 2653 02:14:58,360 --> 02:15:02,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that woul the off arm of the 2654 02:15:02,120 --> 02:15:05,360 Speaker 3: left handed hardened being thrown out at Jalen Brown. 2655 02:15:05,400 --> 02:15:10,160 Speaker 2: They're reviewing it right now. Yeah, that could line. That 2656 02:15:10,200 --> 02:15:14,120 Speaker 2: could be yeah, yeah, especially since it was a Celtic 2657 02:15:14,280 --> 02:15:15,480 Speaker 2: on the receiving. 2658 02:15:17,040 --> 02:15:19,040 Speaker 5: And if we are going to go back down the 2659 02:15:19,080 --> 02:15:23,200 Speaker 5: conspiracy theory rabbit hole, we are led to believe that 2660 02:15:23,240 --> 02:15:24,400 Speaker 5: the Celtics are gonna. 2661 02:15:25,280 --> 02:15:27,560 Speaker 3: So Harden goes up, the ball slips out of his hand, 2662 02:15:27,560 --> 02:15:30,560 Speaker 3: and then he throws out that forearm right into the 2663 02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:31,880 Speaker 3: face of Jalen Brown. 2664 02:15:31,960 --> 02:15:36,360 Speaker 2: Watch watches the ball flies and then he boom. 2665 02:15:37,560 --> 02:15:40,480 Speaker 5: But you know what thought at the time that happened. 2666 02:15:40,520 --> 02:15:43,160 Speaker 5: He was also reaching for the basketball that slipped out 2667 02:15:43,160 --> 02:15:43,680 Speaker 5: of his fingers. 2668 02:15:43,760 --> 02:15:45,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the basketball is going one direction and that 2669 02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:47,320 Speaker 2: elbow is going in a different direa Well. 2670 02:15:47,240 --> 02:15:49,000 Speaker 5: I know that, but I could make the argument he 2671 02:15:49,080 --> 02:15:52,040 Speaker 5: was trying to counterbalance himself and he's it floating through 2672 02:15:52,080 --> 02:15:53,800 Speaker 5: the air as this is all happening now. 2673 02:15:53,880 --> 02:15:55,800 Speaker 3: Of course, Jalen Brown wont in a heap, you know, 2674 02:15:55,880 --> 02:15:58,800 Speaker 3: face down up there talking about it right now. They're 2675 02:15:58,840 --> 02:16:02,640 Speaker 3: reminding each other with League saying the Celtics. You know 2676 02:16:03,560 --> 02:16:05,920 Speaker 3: this is if you missed the Doc Rivers you think 2677 02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:08,520 Speaker 3: came out of all the miscalls and bad calls out 2678 02:16:08,560 --> 02:16:11,120 Speaker 3: of Game six and it was very one sided in 2679 02:16:11,160 --> 02:16:14,960 Speaker 3: the Celtics favor and Doc Rivers obviously not happy about that, 2680 02:16:15,120 --> 02:16:17,120 Speaker 3: very disappointed. All right, do we have an update on 2681 02:16:17,160 --> 02:16:18,040 Speaker 3: what they're doing right now? 2682 02:16:18,080 --> 02:16:18,360 Speaker 2: Guys? 2683 02:16:18,360 --> 02:16:20,640 Speaker 3: What is the discussion there bo? What are they talking about? 2684 02:16:20,680 --> 02:16:22,680 Speaker 3: We can't hear we can see them talking about it. 2685 02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:25,720 Speaker 3: Are you think it's all flagrant? Is that impossible? 2686 02:16:25,960 --> 02:16:26,240 Speaker 1: Probably? 2687 02:16:26,320 --> 02:16:28,600 Speaker 9: Reviewing it? I mean it is Scott Foster. So that's 2688 02:16:28,640 --> 02:16:30,000 Speaker 9: the guy the NBA says. 2689 02:16:29,760 --> 02:16:32,240 Speaker 2: The initiate every game, well the ones. 2690 02:16:32,040 --> 02:16:34,240 Speaker 9: That the NBA needs a favorable outcome in. 2691 02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this guy gets so much criticism. Chris 2692 02:16:38,920 --> 02:16:41,480 Speaker 2: Paul called flagrant. Chris Paul is not on the look 2693 02:16:41,520 --> 02:16:45,960 Speaker 2: at that one on Harden, I know it, I know it. 2694 02:16:46,200 --> 02:16:49,520 Speaker 2: There you go, flagrant one. Like you say, his arms 2695 02:16:49,520 --> 02:16:52,039 Speaker 2: are sort of flailing. Well, I will say this. 2696 02:16:52,320 --> 02:16:56,440 Speaker 5: I will say this though, if if the NBA wants 2697 02:16:56,440 --> 02:16:58,360 Speaker 5: the Celtics in the finals, that's the right call. 2698 02:16:58,879 --> 02:17:01,800 Speaker 2: That is the right call. I will say that. So 2699 02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:06,200 Speaker 2: now flagrant one. Harden's on warning. 2700 02:17:06,320 --> 02:17:08,959 Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you something. Now, he played with Paul, 2701 02:17:09,080 --> 02:17:11,120 Speaker 5: so he knows what it looks like when you're playing 2702 02:17:11,120 --> 02:17:15,760 Speaker 5: for a team that that Scott Foster is referring against, 2703 02:17:16,240 --> 02:17:18,120 Speaker 5: and so he's keeping his mouth show. 2704 02:17:18,160 --> 02:17:20,000 Speaker 2: Well, look at he's got something in his nose that 2705 02:17:20,280 --> 02:17:22,200 Speaker 2: leaning like, Oh, I thought it was from his lip. 2706 02:17:22,800 --> 02:17:24,080 Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. He drew blood. 2707 02:17:24,560 --> 02:17:27,560 Speaker 2: He drew blood and he's shitting technical. I still think 2708 02:17:27,560 --> 02:17:29,200 Speaker 2: they should get a wheelchair out for him. 2709 02:17:29,560 --> 02:17:32,520 Speaker 5: I don't know why. I mean, I'm when you see 2710 02:17:32,640 --> 02:17:35,160 Speaker 5: a player get hit with a forearm to his head, which, 2711 02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:37,560 Speaker 5: by the way, if we're going to rate forearm shots 2712 02:17:37,560 --> 02:17:40,600 Speaker 5: to heads, the forum shot that Jyllen Brown just took 2713 02:17:40,640 --> 02:17:43,320 Speaker 5: to his head, which, by the way, he stuffed something 2714 02:17:43,400 --> 02:17:46,120 Speaker 5: up his nose and he finished two successful free throw 2715 02:17:46,120 --> 02:17:49,320 Speaker 5: attempts as a result of the foul, If we're going 2716 02:17:49,400 --> 02:17:52,280 Speaker 5: to rate that against Anthony Davis for him for yeah, 2717 02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:54,920 Speaker 5: forearm shot he took to his head. This was like, 2718 02:17:55,480 --> 02:17:59,040 Speaker 5: this was like a nine on the Richter scale, in 2719 02:17:59,120 --> 02:18:00,879 Speaker 5: Anthony Davis's was like a one. 2720 02:18:00,920 --> 02:18:04,320 Speaker 3: Well, here here's what just happened. So they Philly had 2721 02:18:04,360 --> 02:18:07,959 Speaker 3: the ball and an eight point lead. Now Boston has 2722 02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:09,560 Speaker 3: the ball down six and now it's four. 2723 02:18:09,879 --> 02:18:10,959 Speaker 5: There you go, so. 2724 02:18:12,840 --> 02:18:16,039 Speaker 3: Quick and quick, you're right back in that game. So 2725 02:18:16,160 --> 02:18:19,240 Speaker 3: there you go, Scott Foster. Can you imagine if he 2726 02:18:19,240 --> 02:18:21,240 Speaker 3: had been officiating back in the days when he had 2727 02:18:21,240 --> 02:18:24,000 Speaker 3: like a Bill Lambert on the court, you know, just 2728 02:18:24,160 --> 02:18:27,959 Speaker 3: literally punching, taking punches that form of the NBA. 2729 02:18:27,959 --> 02:18:31,400 Speaker 5: I think we got fo Now it's a two point game. 2730 02:18:32,280 --> 02:18:33,560 Speaker 5: This is pretty und. 2731 02:18:33,400 --> 02:18:36,760 Speaker 3: It's amazing how this all turned around just rapidly in 2732 02:18:36,879 --> 02:18:37,960 Speaker 3: the Celtics favor. 2733 02:18:38,879 --> 02:18:41,800 Speaker 2: All right, yeah, yeah. 2734 02:18:41,240 --> 02:18:44,200 Speaker 3: Getting back to the NFL for a moment here, as 2735 02:18:44,520 --> 02:18:47,959 Speaker 3: we examine what the NFL schedule has, there is a 2736 02:18:48,040 --> 02:18:51,240 Speaker 3: new dynamic in the NFL rich and that is is 2737 02:18:51,280 --> 02:18:55,519 Speaker 3: that we are no longer absolutely married network to conference. 2738 02:18:56,320 --> 02:19:00,640 Speaker 3: In other words, Fox and NBS are Fox and CBS. 2739 02:19:00,720 --> 02:19:04,760 Speaker 3: They get to protect a game each week. But pretty 2740 02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:07,240 Speaker 3: much what we're seeing and the course they'll still come 2741 02:19:07,320 --> 02:19:11,200 Speaker 3: up with a decision about, you know, changing the Thursday 2742 02:19:11,280 --> 02:19:14,040 Speaker 3: night schedule and everything else with a couple of weeks. Notice, 2743 02:19:14,360 --> 02:19:18,640 Speaker 3: but we are looking at free agency in terms of 2744 02:19:18,760 --> 02:19:22,800 Speaker 3: NFL games every week. And I was talking yesterday with 2745 02:19:22,840 --> 02:19:26,480 Speaker 3: Adam Kaplan. Are we heading in that direction. We should 2746 02:19:26,520 --> 02:19:30,720 Speaker 3: where the NFL looks at each week's schedule and say, 2747 02:19:30,879 --> 02:19:35,240 Speaker 3: all right, we show us bidder gets to air that game. 2748 02:19:36,080 --> 02:19:38,000 Speaker 5: First of all, it'll be better for the players. So 2749 02:19:38,040 --> 02:19:40,360 Speaker 5: you know, I support that because the former players will 2750 02:19:40,400 --> 02:19:42,280 Speaker 5: benefit from that as well. And I happen to be 2751 02:19:42,320 --> 02:19:46,080 Speaker 5: a former player. So the larger pool of money being 2752 02:19:46,160 --> 02:19:50,040 Speaker 5: spread between the owners and the players benefits everybody who's 2753 02:19:50,040 --> 02:19:54,000 Speaker 5: played the game or is playing the game. Great second thing, 2754 02:19:54,200 --> 02:19:57,600 Speaker 5: second part of it is it should be a little 2755 02:19:57,640 --> 02:20:01,119 Speaker 5: bit of name your price for these the networks. Because 2756 02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:05,160 Speaker 5: if you sign up, for example, like Amazon for an 2757 02:20:05,160 --> 02:20:08,400 Speaker 5: eleven billion dollar, eleven year deal, and so you're paying 2758 02:20:08,440 --> 02:20:12,520 Speaker 5: a billion dollars for your opening salvo as a primetime network, 2759 02:20:12,560 --> 02:20:13,879 Speaker 5: that streaming network, and you. 2760 02:20:13,840 --> 02:20:16,200 Speaker 2: Got stuck with a lot of dog Thursday night games. 2761 02:20:16,240 --> 02:20:17,080 Speaker 2: They were awful. 2762 02:20:17,160 --> 02:20:19,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were off, only made worse by Al Michael's 2763 02:20:19,640 --> 02:20:20,480 Speaker 3: complaining about it. 2764 02:20:20,520 --> 02:20:24,120 Speaker 5: Don't you think the board at Amazon would have ponied 2765 02:20:24,240 --> 02:20:28,320 Speaker 5: up to slide a better matchup into their slot. 2766 02:20:28,440 --> 02:20:31,440 Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna give them, I would now they're gonna 2767 02:20:31,440 --> 02:20:31,720 Speaker 2: get it. 2768 02:20:31,840 --> 02:20:34,920 Speaker 3: But think about that. I mean it may sound extreme, 2769 02:20:34,959 --> 02:20:37,200 Speaker 3: There is no extreme. If there's a means to make 2770 02:20:37,280 --> 02:20:41,160 Speaker 3: even more money. You literally week to week have an 2771 02:20:41,240 --> 02:20:46,039 Speaker 3: open highest bidder, and then of course, every every network, 2772 02:20:46,080 --> 02:20:49,119 Speaker 3: every streaming at whatever, or whoever's involved says, okay, well 2773 02:20:49,120 --> 02:20:51,280 Speaker 3: we only have so much money, or should we spend 2774 02:20:51,320 --> 02:20:53,320 Speaker 3: it on this game wait a week or whatever. 2775 02:20:53,480 --> 02:20:56,240 Speaker 5: Week to week, like you could offer it to one 2776 02:20:56,280 --> 02:20:59,600 Speaker 5: in the networks like, well it's Amazon's turn. You know 2777 02:20:59,640 --> 02:21:01,520 Speaker 5: what if if you want to flex out your game 2778 02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:03,080 Speaker 5: and put a different game in the we. 2779 02:21:03,120 --> 02:21:07,160 Speaker 2: Got Bengals Chiefs this week regular season. The only problem though, 2780 02:21:07,240 --> 02:21:08,279 Speaker 2: is Thursday night football. 2781 02:21:08,680 --> 02:21:12,680 Speaker 5: Right. So that's where this gets tricky because in concept, 2782 02:21:12,680 --> 02:21:14,840 Speaker 5: I'm loving this idea. The more money for the players 2783 02:21:14,840 --> 02:21:16,560 Speaker 5: and everything, I'm loving an idea. But here's where you 2784 02:21:16,640 --> 02:21:19,560 Speaker 5: run into a difficulty. So if you want to flex 2785 02:21:19,600 --> 02:21:23,400 Speaker 5: a game into Thursday night, say you give Amazon I 2786 02:21:23,400 --> 02:21:27,560 Speaker 5: don't know, four opportunities throughout the NFL season to do this. Well, 2787 02:21:27,600 --> 02:21:31,160 Speaker 5: that means potentially the same team could end up playing 2788 02:21:31,720 --> 02:21:34,199 Speaker 5: multiple and I do mean like say three or four 2789 02:21:34,280 --> 02:21:39,080 Speaker 5: potentially primetime games on Thursday night football. Now, it may 2790 02:21:39,120 --> 02:21:41,240 Speaker 5: be great for the money for the league and the 2791 02:21:41,280 --> 02:21:44,160 Speaker 5: players in terms of salary cap and all those things 2792 02:21:44,200 --> 02:21:45,000 Speaker 5: that go up with that. 2793 02:21:45,160 --> 02:21:48,360 Speaker 2: But player safety, player health, I mean, that's a big 2794 02:21:48,400 --> 02:21:51,320 Speaker 2: part of window when we talk about flexing out. So 2795 02:21:51,360 --> 02:21:53,400 Speaker 2: they said, all right, the only way to flex out 2796 02:21:53,400 --> 02:21:55,720 Speaker 2: a Thursday night game is if you give them multiple 2797 02:21:55,760 --> 02:22:00,440 Speaker 2: weeks advance, well multiple weeks in the NFL, I mean 2798 02:22:00,680 --> 02:22:03,080 Speaker 2: you flex out of game saying all right, that's the matchup, 2799 02:22:03,080 --> 02:22:04,200 Speaker 2: and then quarterback goes down. 2800 02:22:04,320 --> 02:22:08,080 Speaker 5: Yeah now what Yeah, now we're stucked the disaster, right. 2801 02:22:08,120 --> 02:22:11,600 Speaker 5: I mean, the Ravens no offense to Huntley, but I 2802 02:22:11,640 --> 02:22:13,440 Speaker 5: mean it's not like they really had much of a 2803 02:22:13,560 --> 02:22:17,000 Speaker 5: chance when Lamar Jackson was in on the field. I mean, 2804 02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:20,000 Speaker 5: that's the reality. That is the whole show there in Baltimore. 2805 02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:21,640 Speaker 5: And you could say the same about a lot of 2806 02:22:21,640 --> 02:22:26,959 Speaker 5: different teams. Starting quarterbacks are a premium and that's the 2807 02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:29,800 Speaker 5: reason why the Jets, the New York Jets have six 2808 02:22:29,879 --> 02:22:33,480 Speaker 5: primetime games this upcoming season because Aaron Rodgers is their 2809 02:22:33,520 --> 02:22:36,560 Speaker 5: starting quarterback. That's how this works. But yeah, you know, 2810 02:22:36,840 --> 02:22:41,160 Speaker 5: if you did want to flex out games, the conversation 2811 02:22:41,240 --> 02:22:43,920 Speaker 5: about player safety when it comes to Thursday night games 2812 02:22:43,959 --> 02:22:46,440 Speaker 5: would have to be discussed because there's no way to 2813 02:22:46,480 --> 02:22:49,800 Speaker 5: do that while also defending player safety. But then again, 2814 02:22:50,160 --> 02:22:52,840 Speaker 5: a lot of these decisions are money based, and everybody 2815 02:22:52,879 --> 02:22:55,160 Speaker 5: knows it's not about player safety, and those decisions are 2816 02:22:55,160 --> 02:22:55,840 Speaker 5: made anyways. 2817 02:22:55,879 --> 02:22:58,400 Speaker 3: All right, let's find out what's trending right now as 2818 02:22:58,480 --> 02:23:02,840 Speaker 3: we welcome back months the amazing how this basketball game 2819 02:23:02,959 --> 02:23:09,119 Speaker 3: is turned after that flagrant, right flagrant, Everything in slow motion. 2820 02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:10,360 Speaker 6: Looks worse than it is. 2821 02:23:10,959 --> 02:23:14,360 Speaker 4: It wasn't intentional, but he did draw bloods, so I 2822 02:23:14,440 --> 02:23:16,320 Speaker 4: figured it was gonna end up being a flagrant. 2823 02:23:16,520 --> 02:23:18,560 Speaker 6: But I didn't think it was intentional. I you know, 2824 02:23:18,600 --> 02:23:21,160 Speaker 6: he lost the ball, he lost control, That's just what happened. 2825 02:23:21,400 --> 02:23:25,320 Speaker 4: But James Harden definitely was issued that flagrant one for 2826 02:23:25,520 --> 02:23:26,480 Speaker 4: hitting Jalen Brown. 2827 02:23:26,600 --> 02:23:28,520 Speaker 6: And I feel for Jalen Brown.

He 2945 02:28:01,480 --> 02:28:04,480 Speaker 9: was the ref in the Lakers Celtics game that they 2946 02:28:04,520 --> 02:28:06,320 Speaker 9: blew that call at the end of the game with Lebron. 2947 02:28:06,520 --> 02:28:08,840 Speaker 5: Oh. 2948 02:28:08,840 --> 02:28:12,840 Speaker 9: Then, you know, because Laker fans are obsessive, they didn't win. 2949 02:28:12,800 --> 02:28:16,359 Speaker 3: In disguise, forwarded the opportunity to do officiate the biggest 2950 02:28:16,400 --> 02:28:17,119 Speaker 3: games of the year. 2951 02:28:17,240 --> 02:28:19,080 Speaker 2: Usually it's on a marriage system. 2952 02:28:18,920 --> 02:28:22,520 Speaker 9: Especially with you know, especially with Eric Lewis, because social 2953 02:28:22,560 --> 02:28:26,200 Speaker 9: media users discovered that his entire family are diehard Celtics fans. 2954 02:28:27,200 --> 02:28:29,840 Speaker 9: So very very interesting decision by the NBA. 2955 02:28:29,879 --> 02:28:34,000 Speaker 2: Here We'll say this though, if Lewis becomes Foster, and 2956 02:28:34,040 --> 02:28:36,640 Speaker 2: by the way, Boston just took the lead because Lewis 2957 02:28:36,720 --> 02:28:39,920 Speaker 2: is younger than Foster, you can tell. Yes, learning the 2958 02:28:41,280 --> 02:28:42,720 Speaker 2: tips and tricks of the trader. 2959 02:28:42,520 --> 02:28:45,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, you got a gray beard teaching the young buck 2960 02:28:45,520 --> 02:28:47,480 Speaker 5: how to how to do it how to do it 2961 02:28:47,560 --> 02:28:47,960 Speaker 5: just like that? 2962 02:28:48,120 --> 02:28:50,640 Speaker 3: All right, Well, Celtics have taken the lead now inside 2963 02:28:50,680 --> 02:28:51,400 Speaker 3: five minutes to go. 2964 02:28:51,560 --> 02:28:53,800 Speaker 2: They were down nine, but no longer. 2965 02:28:54,040 --> 02:28:57,720 Speaker 3: And ever since that flagrant foul, it has been mysteriously 2966 02:28:57,879 --> 02:28:58,840 Speaker 3: all Celtics. 2967 02:28:58,920 --> 02:29:03,000 Speaker 5: Well, what's interesting is it takes it takes something like 2968 02:29:03,080 --> 02:29:05,520 Speaker 5: that to change the tide of a game. Sometimes, you know, 2969 02:29:05,640 --> 02:29:09,880 Speaker 5: you fall into an old pattern. And Tatum, I mean, 2970 02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:11,840 Speaker 5: that was a hell of a movie right there. Tatum 2971 02:29:12,040 --> 02:29:15,720 Speaker 5: just isowed at the elbow and made a left handed 2972 02:29:15,879 --> 02:29:19,320 Speaker 5: layup that was just spin move with the left hand. Unbelievable, 2973 02:29:19,360 --> 02:29:22,880 Speaker 5: talented the guy. He just needs to play this way 2974 02:29:22,879 --> 02:29:25,480 Speaker 5: in the second f and I mean that alone could 2975 02:29:25,560 --> 02:29:26,640 Speaker 5: lead to a Celtics win. 2976 02:29:26,840 --> 02:29:28,720 Speaker 2: Applus what Scott Foster's doing. 2977 02:29:29,640 --> 02:29:31,560 Speaker 3: By the way, I wanted to bring up a stat 2978 02:29:32,000 --> 02:29:36,360 Speaker 3: in the ongoing argument about the goat, which, with all 2979 02:29:36,440 --> 02:29:38,400 Speaker 3: due respect to the likes of Bill Russell, who won 2980 02:29:38,440 --> 02:29:42,120 Speaker 3: eleven championships, or Kareem Abdul Jabbar, always comes down to 2981 02:29:42,160 --> 02:29:44,879 Speaker 3: two guys, Michael Jordan and Lebron James. And you know, 2982 02:29:44,920 --> 02:29:47,720 Speaker 3: the Jordan defenders always say, well, look at the finals 2983 02:29:47,720 --> 02:29:51,360 Speaker 3: six and zero. Yeah, and Lebron's four and six. Well, 2984 02:29:51,360 --> 02:29:53,760 Speaker 3: how about conference finals? You want a stab for this? 2985 02:29:54,360 --> 02:29:58,520 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan was six and two in conference finals. Lebron's 2986 02:29:58,600 --> 02:30:01,600 Speaker 3: ten and one. In fact, he's won his last nine 2987 02:30:01,640 --> 02:30:04,280 Speaker 3: in a row conference finals. 2988 02:30:03,959 --> 02:30:05,600 Speaker 5: Y yeah, conference fives. 2989 02:30:05,760 --> 02:30:07,760 Speaker 3: And by the way, I always look at like when 2990 02:30:07,800 --> 02:30:10,040 Speaker 3: I look at you know, what are the most painful 2991 02:30:10,160 --> 02:30:15,960 Speaker 3: losses in sports, it's in the NFL conference championship games, 2992 02:30:16,400 --> 02:30:18,640 Speaker 3: because if you if you get to the super Bowl, 2993 02:30:18,920 --> 02:30:22,680 Speaker 3: you got there conference finals. In the NBA, if you 2994 02:30:22,720 --> 02:30:25,520 Speaker 3: get to the Fight, you were in the finals. Oh yeah, 2995 02:30:25,680 --> 02:30:28,320 Speaker 3: world seriously, always to me, you know when we talk 2996 02:30:28,320 --> 02:30:31,840 Speaker 3: about the Elite eight in the NCAA basketball Tom, because 2997 02:30:31,840 --> 02:30:33,680 Speaker 3: if you get to the final four, you were in 2998 02:30:33,720 --> 02:30:38,360 Speaker 3: the final four. So in the conference finals or the 2999 02:30:38,400 --> 02:30:41,840 Speaker 3: pressure is really ramped up. Ten and one, nine to 3000 02:30:41,879 --> 02:30:44,520 Speaker 3: Ozer in his last nine trips, you know, Lebron James. 3001 02:30:44,320 --> 02:30:47,959 Speaker 5: I feel about it. I think that not enough credit 3002 02:30:48,240 --> 02:30:51,640 Speaker 5: is given to the loser in finals, right and you're 3003 02:30:51,640 --> 02:30:55,000 Speaker 5: still there. I know that sounds ridiculous, and I understand 3004 02:30:55,160 --> 02:30:58,000 Speaker 5: like a lot of people will will say, well Montana 3005 02:30:58,120 --> 02:31:00,360 Speaker 5: went to four and he won four super Bowls, yeah, 3006 02:31:00,440 --> 02:31:04,280 Speaker 5: and Brady lost three. Yeah, so so Montana's a goat. 3007 02:31:04,360 --> 02:31:06,640 Speaker 5: I'm like, how does that make sense? How does that 3008 02:31:06,680 --> 02:31:08,080 Speaker 5: even come close to make sense? 3009 02:31:08,240 --> 02:31:10,240 Speaker 3: And by the way, the other thing about Lebron is 3010 02:31:10,320 --> 02:31:14,000 Speaker 3: so in all six NBA finals that Michael Jordan played in, 3011 02:31:14,360 --> 02:31:15,359 Speaker 3: the Bulls were. 3012 02:31:15,200 --> 02:31:16,720 Speaker 5: The favor right, all of them. 3013 02:31:16,800 --> 02:31:19,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, Lebron in his ten NBA finals, they've only been 3014 02:31:19,879 --> 02:31:21,080 Speaker 3: favored three times. 3015 02:31:21,640 --> 02:31:25,360 Speaker 5: Look, I'm I'm among the people who believe that Lebron 3016 02:31:25,520 --> 02:31:29,000 Speaker 5: James is the greatest basketball player to ever live. I 3017 02:31:29,720 --> 02:31:32,560 Speaker 5: think so many for so many reasons. I mean, on 3018 02:31:32,600 --> 02:31:35,520 Speaker 5: the court spectacle, the team wide success, the fact that 3019 02:31:35,560 --> 02:31:38,960 Speaker 5: he's had success in championships with three different organizations. Yes, 3020 02:31:39,600 --> 02:31:41,720 Speaker 5: I just I think he's the best. And then I'll 3021 02:31:41,720 --> 02:31:45,199 Speaker 5: add to it. Basketball players nowaday have to worry about 3022 02:31:45,280 --> 02:31:48,879 Speaker 5: so much more than basketball players during the Jordan era 3023 02:31:49,400 --> 02:31:51,440 Speaker 5: or any other era in basketball, how to worry about. 3024 02:31:51,760 --> 02:31:55,120 Speaker 5: They didn't have media members. I mean, I should say, 3025 02:31:55,400 --> 02:31:59,600 Speaker 5: Lebron and this crew, this cast of NBA players, they 3026 02:31:59,600 --> 02:32:02,840 Speaker 5: don't have media members in their pocket. You can't. I mean, 3027 02:32:03,040 --> 02:32:06,320 Speaker 5: those days are over. That ship has sailed. Everything's so transparent. 3028 02:32:06,400 --> 02:32:08,800 Speaker 5: People find out. What's the social media? When you think 3029 02:32:08,840 --> 02:32:11,320 Speaker 5: about it? When Jordan won his last championship with the 3030 02:32:11,320 --> 02:32:13,720 Speaker 5: Bulls in ninety eight. Do you know how just on 3031 02:32:13,720 --> 02:32:16,840 Speaker 5: the cuss, how many secrets were kept by members of 3032 02:32:16,879 --> 02:32:21,320 Speaker 5: the media during those times, just for access. I mean, 3033 02:32:21,360 --> 02:32:23,080 Speaker 5: that's the reality of the situation. 3034 02:32:23,240 --> 02:32:26,240 Speaker 2: Is the real story of Jordan's initial retirement. 3035 02:32:26,680 --> 02:32:28,520 Speaker 5: I mean, like, but that's. 3036 02:32:28,480 --> 02:32:29,840 Speaker 2: Play minor league baseball. 3037 02:32:30,080 --> 02:32:32,840 Speaker 5: I'm sure that was it. I'm sure there was nothing 3038 02:32:32,920 --> 02:32:33,879 Speaker 5: more to that story. 3039 02:32:33,879 --> 02:32:37,119 Speaker 2: And of course there was some documentation about some gamblers. Look, 3040 02:32:37,160 --> 02:32:39,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure it was all on the up and up. 3041 02:32:39,800 --> 02:32:40,959 Speaker 5: I just love baseball. 3042 02:32:41,040 --> 02:32:43,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, he did hit two O two in his one 3043 02:32:43,200 --> 02:32:46,240 Speaker 3: minor league season.
