17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: Here we are, beginning of the second half, Game five

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals, Oklahoma City, with a fifty nine

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: to forty five lead over the Pacers. We got show

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani taking them out for the first time in

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: almost two years. Coming up in about ten minutes. We

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff we got tonight here on

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: the show, and I'll give you one prop bet already. Yeah,

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: I might go show hey o Tani more strike He's

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 1: pitching an inning more strikeouts than Tyre's Halliburton has points.

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 3: Whooo, I don't know if that prop bet got put

27
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: up on the map.

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm even, and the game I haven't started.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm even right now because Tyre's Halliburton has not scored

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: in the first half of this game again, a fifty

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: nine to forty five lead Oklahoma City, and the big

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: story Tyre's Halliburton, who missed a couple of minutes a

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: little bit of calf tightness, had his calf retaped or

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: or looked out in the locker room, came back out,

35
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: he still was not able to score. He didn't look

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: good before he got hurt. He didn't look after he

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: got hurt. I'm telling you, he's got so much Anthony

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Edwards in him where he just goes ghost for long

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: periods of time in multiple playoff games and series, no

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: matter what it is. I feel like, would it be

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: better if the thunder were all wearing Knicks jerseys? Because

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: you were motivated for the majority of that series. I

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: feel like, really, do you really need he really needs

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: motivation right this Sometimes he just goes absolutely space ghost

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: on everybody. Seemed like a best of three scenario.

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: You know, all those words like legend, legacy and whatever

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: else we do and ascribe those as quickly as we do.

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: Haliburton was getting a lot of love, right We started

49
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: to see the poison pens coming out, going maybe we

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: have a new villain, a guy that embraces the hate,

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: you know, embrace debate, embrace the hate, all of those

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: kind of fun things. And then you have an effort here.

53
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: And he didn't look right early in the game. Wasn't

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: moving very well defensively, a step slow, looked like he

55
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: was dragging his leg a little bit, goes out, gets

56
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: taped up, has the bandage on, and then he's on

57
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: the sideline and you get the camera shot of him

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: putting the towel over his face as if he's in anguished.

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: He's anguished, and then he gets back out and once

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: again he's less than less than ideal in terms of

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: his attacking on offense and sliding on d But he's

62
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: played seventeen minutes, so it becomes the all right, excuses

63
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: and all of that. You're still on the court. I

64
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: can only evaluate what's there.

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: No look, and here's the thing is that he didn't

66
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: look good before, he didn't look good after, right, That's

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And the fact is, yes, seventeen minutes,

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: if he couldn't go, if it was impossible him to go,

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: he would be sitting out because this is you don't

70
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: want to say it's a free game for the Pacers,

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: but okay, if he was really a danger of exacerbating

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: his injury, getting hurt and then missing the rest of

73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: the finals, the Pacers would sit him down and say,

74
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: you know what, we got three days between games. We're

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: not playing again until July seventeenth. We're to sit you

76
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: down and then we're gonna be ready to go and

77
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: we get back it. Maybe we can. We can sneak

78
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: this one out here, and you never know, we may

79
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: get a big night for McConnell off the bench and

80
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Matheren could start hitting shots. And clearly this is a

81
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: game that it looks like Oklahoma City should be up

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: more than they are the way they've been dominant. But

83
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: still the Pacers find a way hit a three now

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: and again, and stay involved and stay close. But if

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: it was really bad, he would not be in the game.

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: But he's out there and he's given it a go

87
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: two three times. How many times got to come out

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: of the locker room, come out and play and sit

89
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: down and play and sit down. If it was really

90
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: really bad, they would pull him out of the game

91
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, this is gonna be a

92
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: night where we try to do it without you, and

93
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: we keep you right and get you ready for game

94
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: six back home.

95
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know cafstrains can escalate quickly into other things too, right,

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: So that's the other part you're talking pain threshold, but

97
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 3: also to your point about exacerbating it and creating an

98
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: issue not only for the rest of these finals, but

99
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: something that potentially becomes a long standman. How many guys

100
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: have we seen that are already off of our Bingo

101
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: cards for twenty twenty five twenty six based on injury

102
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: sustained in the playoffs, We're already had an all star

103
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: lineup full of guys as we go, so playing through

104
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: and trying, but the offense has been sputtering. But he's

105
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: playing so Rick Carlisle and Company you're tied best of three.

106
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: I know you don't want to go down, but you

107
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: are going back home for game six. You got a

108
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: couple of days that you get him into intense treatments,

109
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: but he's still still working. So our poison pens to

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 3: use that term again, are going to be out you play.

111
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 3: I evaluate you on what you're able to do. Because

112
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: you didn't tap out right, you haven't gone to the

113
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: locker room for good, and you're not done.

114
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: So now you're a detriment to your team.

115
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 3: We have to evaluate you just as a negative instead

116
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: of an injured player.

117
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: So we'll keep you posting on this. I mean, obviously

118
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: we are keeping an eye on it. It's a eleven

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: point lead now for Oklahoma City, early in the third quarter.

120
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: A lot of basketball to go here. Meanwhile, what we

121
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: are getting set for in about three minutes is the

122
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: first appearance of show Hey Otani on a pitcher's mound

123
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: in nearly two years. A story breaks late last night

124
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: following the the Dodgers game. Hey, guess what, Show Hey's

125
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: back tomorrow. Wait, not in a week, No back tomorrow,

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: but seriously, yes, he's back tomorrow. Probably gonna go an inning.

127
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe he's gonna go any more

128
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: than that as the Dodgers kind of get him back

129
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: in and clearly with all the injuries going on with

130
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: their rotation, not a moment too soon for show. Hey,

131
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: but you know, seeing all the prop bets that are

132
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: out there for show, hit, what's it gonna be? I mean,

133
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under on all of them. I mean,

134
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: I'll take the over on more more strikeouts for Otani

135
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: than points for Halliburton. But I will go under what's

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: it one and a half because he's not gonna go

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: more than if I thought he would go more than

138
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: an inning, I would say, okay, but I'm pretty sure, hey,

139
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: going inning, don't go crazy, and we're gonna have a plan, right,

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: that's what the Dodgers want to have a plan, and

141
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: it's got well, what you go, let's go, because then

142
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: if he gets in trouble in the middle of the

143
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: second inning, or he labors, he throws a lot of pitches,

144
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: they'll want to make a move. It's gonna be one inning.

145
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go it one and a half for strikeouts,

146
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under. Yeah, it's even going under for

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: walks under under for everything except for points, Himmer Halbert.

148
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: How about to record one or more strikeouts and to

149
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: hit a home run plus two?

150
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: Okay, so more than one strikeout and a home run? Yeah,

151
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: or one strike out on a home run one plus one.

152
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: You just got to get at least one, okay, So

153
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: one strike out, one strike out on a home run, okay, okay,

154
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: So if you strike if he strikes out one and

155
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: he hits a home run, how about to go three up,

156
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: three down in the first. Oh, that that's a good one.

157
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: I like that.

158
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: It's of course he's going three up, three plus one fifty.

159
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: What kind of question was that, Mike and a long drive?

160
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Da Look at this, I can't believe it. Three straight

161
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: home runs to start the game off OS one all right?

162
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: To allow and earn run it's at half a run

163
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: plus one eighty five.

164
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,960

217
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,640

219
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: the parking.

220
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: And that's what thing see a night like that, I

221
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: that's what I don't mind white knuckling. Like I'm not

222
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: gonna white knuckle a playoff game. I'm not gonna. But

223
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: but this, okay, I'll do that. I'll wait, I'll wait

224
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: and see, I'll wait time. But I will also make

225
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: sure I leave early. I'll also make.

226
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: Sure that a fair just outside of the stadium, right

227
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: outside of Tiketey and I was entryway, and I.

228
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: Even I even put down playing Solitaire to check and

229
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: make sure they were gonna get to the game in time.

230
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I got, I got with Otani, I got

231
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, I got my Solitaire game.

232
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: I got a lot of a lot of things going on,

233
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: a lot of yes. I mean, that's why I was

234
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 3: gonna start running down. I had forty five other alternate

235
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: prop bets so you could finish that game and see

236
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: if you can you can clear your board.

237
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: I just found out you had to alternate red black,

238
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: red black red. But I just found that out. You

239
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: have to alternate red black. You can't just go unless

240
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: you play Spider Solitaire. But I'm not ready for that.

241
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for it because I think that's a

242
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: whole different thing. I want to make sure Spider Pig

243
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: spider pick Shootani is one batter down and it's one

244
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: batter on base. Otani was hitting ninety eight, uh to

245
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: the first batter, Fronanotatis Junior, who dunks one in front

246
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: of Andy Pajes in center field. Tatise is on board

247
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: with a lead off single. Again. Otani hit ninety eight

248
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: on two fastballs, a couple of pitches borderline. Looked like

249
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: he might have got squeezed a little bit on however,

250
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: well it was they looked like.

251
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: It's actually Scott Foster is partn't give any he's extended

252
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: lay himself out.

253
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah he is, Uh, he is extending this this that's.

254
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

255
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: And Nowtani has thrown a wild pitch trying to throw

256
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: it in the It looked like it might have no

257
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: not a hit by pitch for a second. It did

258
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: look looked like it might have been hit by pitch,

259
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. Tatis is able to get to second.

260
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, Luis Araya is batting

261
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: with a runner and scoring position, and uh Otani seven

262
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: pitches in, he's already in trouble, all right, I mean,

263
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Mary Hart is incensed, very upset. Yes, a lot of us.

264
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you see it. It looks like it

265
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: feels like a playoff game. What's happening right now with

266
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: Shoeotani pitching for the.

267
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: First times for the first pitch, And.

268
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: I'm telling man, this is all part of what's good

269
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: because I've said this from the beginning with Otani, right,

270
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: I've said this from the beginning. Eventually the Dodge are

271
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: going to make him a closer. You can't. You can't

272
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: put him out there expecting that he's going to pitch

273
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: and be a starter every fifth day for a season.

274
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: His arm has already been blown out twice. He's over thirty.

275
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do it and hit. You can't do

276
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: you just can't do it. Now. Oh so we have

277
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: him start and roll the gain? Yeah, okay, that's great.

278
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: You want to start the game being an opener of it.

279
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: But is that what you really want him for? Do

280
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: you want to throw an arm in the bullpen and

281
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: lock down the ninth inning and talk about the juice

282
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: and the excitement that hits the ballpark and hits the team.

283
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: If Otani is trying to close out a game, now,

284
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: you don't just put him right out there and close, right,

285
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: I get that, right. You don't put him right out

286
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: there to close. But here you go, one inning to

287
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: start the game, Okay, eventually be one inning to finish

288
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the game.

289
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: Well, that's where a Talis start on the return against

290
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: the hated Padres and a big home slate home occurrence

291
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: here against the NBA Finals and get the crowd juiced,

292
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: and then yeah, you gotta work it back. Look, they're

293
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: gonna be active come the deadline. There's no question. You

294
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 3: keep telling me. Arms are coming back. Arms are coming back.

295
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 3: And it's good to see him out on the mound.

296
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of work to do with this

297
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: roster yet.

298
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: And if you took the last said that is gonna

299
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: take the under for hits allowed in the first inning,

300
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: I've already lost. Yeah, plus one ninety's already cash Ariyahs

301
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: just lines one to center field too hard, hitting right

302
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: at Andy Pajes so to tease, can't score. But now

303
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: first and third, nobody out and Otani is already twelve

304
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: pitches into the first inning, so I already lost that under.

305
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: But I'm winning so far on the on the strikeouts,

306
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: so I have that. Yeah, I have that, and the walks.

307
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: So strikeouts are two, I'm feeling good on two. I'm

308
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,800

310
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: it's starting. It's just beginning right now. Seven minutes to

311
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: go on the third quarter. Oklahoma City leads in the

312
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: end to seventy to fifty nine and eleven point lead

313
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: for the Thunder As somehow the Pacers are hanging around

314
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,160

315
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,320

361
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: the NBA? The Thunder lead the Pacers seventy five sixty

362
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: six late in the third quarter, and I'll tell you

363
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: what this game is going very dangerously for the Thunder

364
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: because they're playing this game at a pace and a

365
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: and a level of desire that tells me, like when

366
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: you get in the game where you go, Okay, we're

367
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: controlling this game. We don't really need to go crazy

368
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: extend ourselves. Let's not try to get too outside the box,

369
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: and we're gonna hold on to win here because we've

370
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: been controlling this the entire way. Like that's kind of

371
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: how I feel the Thunder or playing. And when you

372
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: play that weight, that's a recipe for disaster because eventually,

373
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: eventually the pacer are gonna start hitting threes, They're gonna move,

374
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: they're gonna pace, and all of a sudden, that twelve,

375
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: thirteen to fourteen point lead becomes a nine point lead

376
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: like it is now. The nine point lead becomes a

377
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: five point lead, five gets to three. TJ McConnell starts

378
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: hitting turn around twisty buckets in a lane. That doesn't

379
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: matter that Tyre's Halliburton's having a horrible game. This is

380
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: what happens. But I have seen no sense of urgency

381
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: from the Thunder, from the last like a couple of

382
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: minutes before halftime to where we are right now. They

383
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: just seem, hey, we're playing. Let's not screw things up, right,

384
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: We're playing really well. We just need to execute the

385
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: rest of the way. And anytime you get to that point,

386
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: that's a dangerous point.

387
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: For it took care of business in the first half,

388
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 3: hitting a wide open threes, moving the ball in transition,

389
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 3: protecting the rim, and obviously Haliburton being limited oh of

390
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: six from the field. He finally did hit a couple

391
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: of free throws though, so that prop bet blew up. Yeah,

392
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: as pausing there, but it's you let him hang around, Like,

393
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: if you've learned anything watching these playoffs, pacers aren't gonna

394
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: go away. The fact that he was still dragging his

395
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: leg out there, Haliburton wasn't gonna go away. And again

396
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: we evaluated for what it is, but that means they're

397
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: not ready to put it, you know, put it on

398
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: ice and go back for Game six. They're gonna keep competing.

399
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: And we watched their bench and their depth in every series.

400
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: You know it as a Knicks fan, it'll go away.

401
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, No, they're gonna keep counting. You have

402
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: to keep playing, keep coming.

403
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Uh So again, where we sit right now, it's an

404
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: eight point lead for Oklahoma City three and a half

405
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: to go in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Shoe Hao Tani's

406
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: first inning is over and now he's coming to the

407
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: plate for the first time. The Padres lead the Dodgers

408
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: one to nothing. Manny Machado would a sacrifice fly a

409
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: close play at the plate, but Tatise is safeunted though,

410
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: so why shouldn't it have counted? Did you not see

411
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: the appeal to first on the check swing, I mean

412
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: the full swing? Oh oh yeah, I did see the

413
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: appeal to first. It seemed like full swing. Yeah no,

414
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: it looked like I thought you met the soaker fights

415
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: fly itself. Yeah no, yeah, yeah, Well, I mean I think,

416
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think maybe the home plate umpire didn't

417
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: want to get yelled at by Machado like he yelled

418
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: at the umpire last week when he got called out

419
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: on strike. If you was scared of Machado, your so

420
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: the whole ring doorbell thing, I mean, that would that

421
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: would come back. I don't want that would take him

422
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: a though it didn't. You get to your house. So

423
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: one inning pitch for show, heo Tony twenty eight pitches,

424
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: so a heavy workload in the first inning. Two it's

425
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: one run. The run is earned, and again the Dodgers

426
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: trail the Padres right now won. Nothing is a bat

427
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the first inning.

428
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: Hit in the upper nineties with his fastball. So had

429
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 3: that pop out of the gate. So folks excited, A

430
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: little bit erradic right, A lot of juice, a lot

431
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: of energy in the crowd. I mean it's also a day.

432
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: He's excited because Epe is now behind bars.

433
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Yes to prison. Yeah, you want to.

434
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: Talk about bookending a historic Oh yeah, you go behind bars.

435
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: You you're back to the mouth. I'll pitch when I

436
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: feel safe. When Epe is behind bars, epees behind I'll

437
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: pitch tonight. Give me the ball. I'm ready. I'm ready

438
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: to go. Give me the ball. Give the ball. So

439
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: two hits, neither of them hit very well. No, no,

440
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: so you take that.

441
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: I mean it'll look like line drive singles in the

442
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: box score tomorrow.

443
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: I threw the ball, right, if he threw the ball,

444
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: there's nothing I saw tonight that tells me, oh boy, oh,

445
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Otani threw the ball. You know he had that little

446
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: bit of juice. I'm sure, first time pitching, so that

447
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: gave him a couple extra miles an hour on the fastball,

448
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: but ninety eight his breaking pitches were breaking right through

449
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: the wild pitch. There's nothing I saw tonight in the

450
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: first inning from him that tells me, Okay, he's not

451
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: going to be back to being himself. He just needs

452
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: the reps he needs to get back in. He needs

453
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: to extend himself again. I would have him closed, but

454
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a lot of problems with the starting pitching,

455
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: so probably gonna be out there starting for a little while.

456
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, he looked fun. Yes, not optimal that he

457
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: gives up a running the first end of the padres,

458
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: but overall you have to be pretty pretty pleased with

459
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: what you saw in the first end. Let's just say it.

460
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: Twenty eight pitches, good velocity, some pretty good movement on

461
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 3: the ball, wild pitch aside, of course, But all of

462
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: that to say, you get out of that with one inning,

463
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 3: one run allowed. In the inning, I saw his reaction

464
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: to the play at the plate and fired up and

465
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: given me the umpire and earful, no question about it.

466
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 3: But you now have proof of concept. He's back, and

467
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: he's now a piece on the chessboard from the pitching

468
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: side of things, and now we'll see where they take

469
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: it from here as to how they work out the rotation.

470
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna have these you already have the opener game

471
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: was part of your world, So we'll see how long

472
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: that projects. We've talked about Sasaki briefly, the expectation that

473
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: he's not going to return this season, but you are

474
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: seeing more throwing sessions from Snell on his bobblehead day.

475
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Some good news there.

476
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 3: Eventually, Glass now will be back for a couple innings

477
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: before he goes back on the show. So you got

478
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: all of those things that you work to do. And Claytonkershaw

479
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: inching ever closer to three thousand striking.

480
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I mean I firmly believe that it

481
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how many pitchers the Dodgers could sign in

482
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: the offseason. We signed fourteen starting pitchers, all former Cy

483
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: Young Award winners, all guys who have gone through and

484
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: thrown tons of pitches. They're healthy all the time. The

485
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: minute you get them it, yeah, we're gonna be We're

486
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: gonna be down to Kershaw being our second starter by

487
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: the time we get to the end of gym.

488
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: No, I mean, where's the sage brush? Kyrie ain't working

489
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: right now, go get that.

490
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: It's like no matter. He used to like that way

491
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: with the Mets, but now the Dodgers have taken that

492
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: to an absurd level where they really they have an

493
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: all star staff, starting staff, on the on the injured list.

494
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, like these are all.

495
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: All multi cy young, all of those things. They get

496
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: up the big three, which would be Snell and gladsnew

497
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: and and and Sasaki. Any team going into the season

498
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: would say, I'd love to have those be my top three. Guys.

499
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: This is the keep on going down a lot. You

500
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 4: gotta station.

501
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's I mean, really, this is no

502
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: matter what the Dodgers are. In fact, I don't know man,

503
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: And this is bad news for you, Frostburg, because I

504
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: think pictures now in the off season are gonna say, hey,

505
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: the Dodgers want to give you a lot of money. No,

506
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: I can't go there, man, I'm just gonna get hurt.

507
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: I gotta go somewhere so you can't give me bad news.

508
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: That's not possible. I gotta go someplace. Ouds like, yeah,

509
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: just gonna wind up getting hurt. Man, I want to

510
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: go there. Happens to everybody. What are we thinking here?

511
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring him back in, right. I don't know, man.

512
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of pitches, and I think

513
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: he's coming out after the I think the whole plan

514
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: was gonna be one inning, no matter what, unless they

515
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: had to get him in the first inning because he

516
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: threw too many pitches. He gave up three four. So

517
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: did you talk to Dave Roberts? How did you know that? No,

518
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm just saying for his first start in two years,

519
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be hey, let's see how we feel.

520
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very regimented and one inning and that's it.

521
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Because they also want to show you pitched a no hitter,

522
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: you're coming out. They also they also want to plan

523
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: how are we gonna start things? How are we gonna

524
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: how we want to go this game? One inning? And

525
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: then this is our relief pitcher plan. You want to

526
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: make sure you know, hey, you know you're coming in

527
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: to start the second inning, no matter what. Get ready

528
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: to go. You're coming in to start like this. This

529
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: is this is how I expect it to go. And

530
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,719
Speaker 1: when they just cut to commercial, Otani was looking at

531
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: the iPad as a Dodgers like they were taking the

532
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: field he was not grabbing his glove in his hat

533
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: to go back out there. So I gotta think this

534
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: is it for Otani now as we get to as

535
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: he gets more and more, Hey, okay, the next start,

536
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more than any Maybe we think

537
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: two innings next time, maybe it's more than that. But

538
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: I would see he's gonna be out and and look

539
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: it looks like Anthony band is going to be coming in.

540
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: And this was the plan all along, was to go

541
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: and let him go one aning, which is smart. It's

542
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: absolutely so it's now time for the band to try. Yet.

543
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you feel great. If you're the Dodgers,

544
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: you feel great. You're holding your breath the entire first

545
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: and Anthy all of baseball is holding their breath the

546
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: entire first and he going, oh, what's he gonna do?

547
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's fine because look you want to see this,

548
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: and his pitches had life. Everything. There's nothing that I

549
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: saw that tells me, okay, I worry about him. Everything

550
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: looked fun.

551
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: But there's been a lot of the thought pieces in

552
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: the background right as he's been ramping back up to

553
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 3: this moment of do you pitch him again? Yeah, like

554
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: obviously he wants to pitch, and it's part of what

555
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: the expectation was when he signed the decade long deal

556
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 3: with the Dodge and came over, and part of the

557
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: reason to a degree that you pay him the extra money.

558
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: Right the unicorn aspect of it, say nothing of merchandising, sales,

559
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 3: et cetera. That I think you've already made that money

560
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: back and now it's you're earning interest on it, all

561
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 3: based on what you've been able to sell. But when

562
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: you look at he wants to go, and he wants

563
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: to give it another shot. And we saw it where

564
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: as he was recovering from the injury, sure as hell

565
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: didn't affect him at the plate or you know, running,

566
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: And we'll see what happens when he's on the base

567
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: pats whether that tamps down a little bit in terms

568
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: of trying to take an extra base and the stolen

569
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 3: base totals all of those things. But in the interim,

570
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 3: he gives you an extra arm for whatever innings however

571
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna use him, and Dave Roberts and the Dodgers,

572
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 3: they'll be judicious about it, and so long as he's

573
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 3: honest with them about how he's feeling in terms of

574
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: any fatigue, twinges, all of those things, and then everybody

575
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 3: wins and baseball wins.

576
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: Uh, speaking of baseball, winning and winning at baseball, I'm

577
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna take well, Okay, what do I do? You know,

578
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: it's Monday, I'm feeling okay, you know, even got swept.

579
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was looking to see who had the

580
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: best record of the National League, and oh, it's still

581
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: the Mets. What was it? It was ten teams got

582
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: swept this weekday. One of them was the Mets. Yeah,

583
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: it's true. Yeah, and I'm still looking. We still have

584
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: the best record in the league. Yeah, we still have

585
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: the bit of the Rockies, right, Yeah, we lost the

586
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: rock We lost nine to nothing, ten to one, and

587
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: fourteen to two. Or was it the Oriols to the Rockies? No, no,

588
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: the Orioles the Rockies. The Rockies beat the Orioles today.

589
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I think that's did that happen today? I believe that

590
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: that part of the men's college world.

591
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: Now that kid struck out in nineteen it was Tampa

592
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: over Baltimore one, you know, Washington and the Rocky Rockies

593
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: cut on the upside six four final.

594
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you I'll take Yeah, since it's Monday.

595
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll take the l on my Rafael Dever's trade prediction

596
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: that I made at the end of March that he

597
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: was going to be gone by the end of April.

598
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: Devers gets traded over the weekend to the Giants for

599
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: a couple of Jag pitchers, and I mean, look, basically,

600
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: this was the Red Sox saying we're done. We're done

601
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: with you. We're done with the bad headlines, We're done

602
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: with you not wanting to go play first base. We're

603
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: done with you bad mouthing the organization and telling us

604
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: what we need to be doing, when meanwhile we screwed

605
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: things up to look, I'm not gonna sit here in

606
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: place blame because the Red Sox had to know how

607
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: Devers was going to react. When they brought in Alex

608
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: Bregman to play third base. You had to know your

609
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: player because he's been there a while. This was a situation.

610
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: I told her the end of March was untenable, and

611
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: I thought by the end of April he would be

612
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: delle He started off what like forty five strikeouts in

613
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: his first forty six at batsity really got hot, probably

614
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: because he wanted out.

615
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 5: You know.

616
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: Leading the League leading the American League in RBIs. But

617
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: I knew this was going to happen because it was

618
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: just untenable. Hey, I know we brought in a guy

619
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: to play third base. Can you do No? I don't

620
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: want a DHM a third base, but O better third

621
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: baseman you are. We're trying to get better, okay, And

622
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: you finally convince him to be okay being the designated hitter.

623
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: But then your first baseman gets hurt and it's like, hey,

624
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: you want to go play first He doesn't want to

625
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: do it. Like didn't you learn the first time when

626
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: you said, hey, he didn't want it. You only wanted

627
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: to play third base, and that's it. And you finally

628
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: got him to DH. Then when you asked him to

629
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: play first base. That's how it was gonna go. The

630
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: situation was completely untenable. I knew it was gonna be

631
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: a point where they had to trade him, and they did,

632
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: and the Giants get a great player. It's a great

633
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: trade for them. They basically they traded away a couple

634
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: of jag pitchers, one who's young and maybe has a

635
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: little bit of promise. But really, this arn't This isn't

636
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: anything other than we're moving on from Devers, and you're

637
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: gonna eat all that money that we gave him, and

638
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: now we have money to go move and go do

639
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: something else. Because I'll tell you this, this is not

640
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a Red Sox fire sales. Not suddenly here

641
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: goes Duran and goes all the other play No, no,

642
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the Red Sox saying we had

643
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. We now have more money

644
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: to spend. We can be aggressive at the deadline. You've

645
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: already seen some quotes from the Red Sox saying we

646
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: feel like we're gonna win more games this year despite

647
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: the fact we don't have him. He was a great player.

648
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: They just had to get rid of him. And I

649
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be untenable, but I said, okay,

650
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: by the end of April, Okay, before the end of June,

651
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: way before the trade deadline. I'll take the l But

652
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you was gonna get trade.

653
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, just ahead of five hundred in the standings right now,

654
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a mosh pit there. You look

655
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 3: at the idea of all the young up and coming

656
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 3: players they had. Now they traded a few away to

657
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: the White Sox to bring in Crochet, but you look

658
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: at it clears paths that way, you get rid of

659
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 3: some of whatever's going on in the clubhouse.

660
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: A lot of reports that.

661
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: He wasn't necessarily not only on the field, keen with

662
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: whatever plans and yes and improv kind of things, but

663
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: also in terms of what the Red Sox expect out

664
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: in the community and such, not exactly being forthcoming and

665
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 3: get along kind of guy in that regard either. So

666
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: the old edition by subtract, actually you lose. You now

667
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: have younger players. We've talked with John Paul Morosi about

668
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: this and the promotion of a lot of young guys

669
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: across major league. So you get guys that get it, bats,

670
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: get innings pitched at the major league level. You get

671
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 3: to test them see if there's a market for them,

672
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: if you decide you are sellers. And for San Francisco

673
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: they get a huge addition to their roster because we've

674
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: watched free agency be a bit of an issue the

675
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: last couple of years in terms of bringing in big

676
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: time signings. While discounts as a big time signing for

847
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: it's been. Amazing but let me just say, This, okay

848
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: the most irrelevant topic there could possibly, be and really

849
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: it only really comes up when it comes about THE.

850
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: Nba is that THE Nba finals and the, ratings and

851
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: look at where they are and look how low they

852
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: are AND i get. It, yes they're. Low some years

853
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: are going to be lower than. Others right when you

854
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: if it was The nicks and The lakers or ratings

855
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: would be, great, right same thing for different. Reasons, yes

856
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: there'll be large. Ratings but there's a couple of things.

857
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: Here number one is you don't know how many people

858
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: are consuming THE Nba finals a different. Way, right you're

859
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,080

860
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: Ways now can you really really say here's an accurate? Representation?

861
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: Right all those illegal, streams outdated means by which to grab,

862
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 3: ratings all of those.

863
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: Things but the bigger thing is. This, okay so the

00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: when the teams are so familiar with each, other you

923
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 5: need guys you could just go get a, bucket and

924
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 5: The Oklahoma City thunder have two guys who are capable

925
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 5: of doing. That AND i would say that The Indiana

926
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 5: pacers have, won but for some reason they. Don't they

927
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 5: neglect getting him the ball on a regular, basis and

928
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 5: that's PATH. Caliaka so they ultimately have none and then

929
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 5: you get results like you got.

930
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: Tonight, yeah Obviously rick will start With Tyres, halliburton who

931
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: didn't look good before he dinged up his, calf came

932
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: back in the, game still played thirty four minutes and

933
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: really could not get in this. Game, now we talked

934
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: about it last hour AND i, said you know what's

935
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: kind of becoming from me With, halibert AND i get

936
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: he's not one hundred, percent but there's lots of players

937
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: that aren't one hundred, percent and Already Rick carlisle has

938
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: said he's gonna play the next. GAME i feel Like

939
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: halliburton is a great front runner when he gets out

940
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: early in the, game when he's, motivated and when he

941
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: can get out, early he plays. Fantastic and there's even

942
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,959
Speaker 1: games where as long as he's not completely shut down,

943
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: early he can still affect the, game Like game one

944
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: hits the game winning. Shot but when he can't do,

945
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: anything or when he gets shut down that first eight

946
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: minutes of the, game like he's, done like he has,

947
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: cooked and we see a shell of what we normally,

948
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: Get like he's a great front, runner but when it

949
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: really hits adversity that he can't get past in the

950
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 1: first few minutes of the, game like the other team is,

951
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: won because suddenly it's you, know you're not worried about

952
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: him the rest.

953
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: Of the, Night, yeah, whatever whatever it may. BE i

954
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 5: don't like that he concede so, easily and for a point,

955
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 5: guard he picks up his dribble in some of the

956
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 5: worst places before he knows where he's going to go

957
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 5: with the, ball and a lot of his turnovers are

958
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 5: a result of. THAT i also was completely and and

959
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 5: it was it was evident. Tonight but you, know you

960
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 5: set ticks in order to get switches to get the

961
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 5: matchup you, want and multiple times he got the matchup

962
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 5: that he. Wanted he got switched on To Isaiah hartenstein

963
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 5: Or Chet, holmes and he got switched on to a

964
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 5: big and then he didn't attack. It and it's, like,

965
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 5: so what are we doing? Here why do we go

966
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 5: through all the like the effort to get the switch

967
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 5: if you're not going to attack it once you get.

968
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: It and the.

969
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 5: Difference in The Indiana pacers when he's getting two feet

970
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 5: in the. Paint i'm not sharing anything THAT i don't

971
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 5: think anybody doesn't know at this, point including Ty, reech

972
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 5: including The Oklahoma City thunder is it's not necessarily, scoring

973
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 5: but it's simply attacking and getting to the. Paint and,

974
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 5: Yes i'm taking anything away From Oklahoma city's, defense but

975
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,479
Speaker 5: we've seen, Him he's demonstrated he has the capability of doing.

976
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 5: That and yet there are times where he picks up

977
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 5: his dribble without ever attempting to get. There AND i

978
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 5: can't explain to you why that, is but it undercuts

979
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 5: The Indiana pacers in a massive. Way you just and

980
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 5: what baffling and what kind of exposes it. Is on

981
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 5: the flip, side you have a guy LIKE tj McConnell

982
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 5: who just continually is attacking the paint and as a,

983
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 5: result more often than, not is very productive with that second.

984
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 5: Unit and SO i Don't i'm not giving up On

985
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 5: tyres because he has made, strides certainly since the beginning

986
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 5: of the. Year but until he realizes that he needs

987
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 5: to be in the attack mode all the, time or

988
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 5: there's really no point in this because it's the worst

989
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 5: thing for a team when the guy with ball in

990
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 5: his hands and arguably one of your two best, players

991
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 5: you don't know whether he's going to bring the lumber

992
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 5: or not on a given. Night that's a very treacherous

993
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 5: place for a team to.

994
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: Be watch The.

995
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 3: Thunder you get out to a big halftime, lead but

996
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 3: because of, McConnell they get back in the, game Does?

997
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 3: Indiana and Then Jalen williams with the takeover a game

998
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 3: twenty five, ATTEMPTS i THINK i have to go back

999
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: to the game log to see when he ever had

1000
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: that rick and the QUIET, sga something we've talked about,

1001
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 3: before bleeding you for another thirty one when it. Mattered

1002
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 3: so for The, thunder not a games from their top,

1003
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 3: guys but far more than enough to take care of.

1004
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: Business, yeah no.

1005
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 5: Question AND i think what they've done, is you, know

1006
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 5: over the course of this, SERIES i Thought Andrew nemhart

1007
00:47:55,560 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 5: And Aaron smith initially we're doing really good jobs on

1008
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 5: them and making the game hard on. Them and as

1009
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 5: the series has gone, on these guys have figured out

1010
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 5: how to get to their spot and how to get

1011
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 5: a step on. Them Andre nemhart to me was he

1012
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 5: has been The Bell weather or The pacers throughout these.

1013
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 5: Playoffs when he's a, plus they, win and when he's a,

1014
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 5: minus they. Lose he was a minus twelve tonight AND

1015
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 5: i was. Stocked And Rick carlisle has done this a

1016
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 5: couple of times in the last two games, now where

1017
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 5: he's stayed with guys who are clearly not, effective And

1018
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 5: nemhart was. AFRAID i was just, stunned having seen the

1019
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 5: way he's played for the better part of this year

1020
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 5: and earlier on in this series and in these, playoffs

1021
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 5: he was afraid to shoot the. Ball he would get the.

1022
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 5: Spots and there's when you're playing against a defense Like

1023
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 5: Oklahoma city and in the finals like, this when you

1024
00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 5: get a look you need to take that show everybody knows, like,

1025
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 5: oh that's that's the chances if you pass it, up

1026
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 5: you may not get another opportunity to shoot unless it's

1027
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 5: under severe duress on that. Possession and he did. That

1028
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 5: not only did he not take the, shot but then

1029
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 5: he would pick up his dribble and and try to pass,

1030
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 5: it and as a, result The Oklahoma city th under

1031
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 5: were swarming and his turnovers were live, turnovers not only

1032
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 5: resulting in him not shooting and, scoring But Oklahoma city

1033
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 5: getting an easy bucket the other.

1034
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: Way you, KNOW i can look at it this, Way,

1035
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: rick when you see the confidence. Level The pacers obviously

1036
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: played with a much different confidence level against a less

1037
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: team defensively in The, Knicks and now things have gotten

1038
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult for him, now AND i

1039
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: feel like the question themselves and it's, like, wait this

1040
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: is not as easy as you. Thought of course it's

1041
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: not going to be is he talked one of the

1042
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: best defensive teams in the league versus the next of

1043
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: course it's going to be harder.

1044
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah well and it's nice of you to slide

1045
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 5: into The New York knick. Shade well, yeah but you

1046
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 5: know it was As i've watched this, series what has

1047
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 5: what they've struggled with is obviously turnovers were a big

1048
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 5: huge issue tonight and have been for them throughout the.

1049
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 5: Series when they've been able to, maintain like lower their,

1050
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 5: turnovers they've been, successful but they they struggle to play

1051
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 5: at the pace they want to play at against this

1052
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 5: thunder defense and not turn the ball. Over and that's

1053
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 5: the next step for, them which is being you, know

1054
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 5: finding a way to be, aggressive but to be aggressive under.

1055
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 5: Control and a lot of it just is when you

1056
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 5: don't have guys that can break down the, defense it

1057
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 5: makes everything. Hard when when everybody when when everybody can

1058
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 5: kind of stay at home and you don't have to come,

1059
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 5: over you don't have to slide over to help on a,

1060
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 5: guy then it makes everything. Hard And Tyreek halliburton is

1061
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 5: one of those guys who he's capable of, that and

1062
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 5: The pacers are a completely different team when he does.

1063
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 5: That but when he doesn't against a team Like Oklahoma,

1064
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 5: city you really just don't have a.

1065
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: Chance, rick we got the draft just over the horizon

1066
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 3: starting to see. Trades Desmond bain gets dealt and now

1067
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 3: we have the preferred destinations For Kevin. Durant and, look

1068
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 3: so San antonio in the leading leader in the, clubhouse

1069
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 3: does he get what he?

1070
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 4: Wants?

1071
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 5: Well the question of if he like with a star

1072
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 5: LIKE kd and with his contract coming, up the particulars

1073
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 5: are are they going to extend? Him he's a little

1074
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 5: bit like in The Jimmy butler. Situation does he want

1075
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 5: to be? Extended and what is that team willing or

1076
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 5: capable of giving? Up and is he going to work

1077
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 5: with The Phoenix suns in terms of making sure they

1078
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 5: get something back for, him BECAUSE i think ultimately the

1079
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 5: best fought for him would be The Miami. Heat that's

1080
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 5: the team that they desperately need exactly what he. GIVES

1081
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 5: i think if he goes, there there are a lot

1082
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 5: to be a playoff. Team he can be a difference maker.

1083
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 5: There it's a culture that's already. Set he doesn't have

1084
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 5: to be a. Leader he's got a coach who is

1085
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 5: not going to take any. GUFF i don't like With

1086
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:29,919
Speaker 5: Mits johnson and The San Antonio. SPURS i don't think

1087
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 5: they're close enough for him to be that difference maker

1088
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 5: that's going to take them to the next. LEVEL i

1089
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 5: like what they have, there but the fact of the matter,

1090
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 5: is you, know for having The rookie of The year

1091
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 5: and Having victor Winmbin yama and all that they, had you,

1092
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 5: know they still were thirteenth in The Western. Conference is

1093
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 5: is kd at this stage of his? Career is he

1094
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 5: going to elevate them into WHERE i? Mean is he

1095
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 5: gonna be a fourteen win difference because that's that's what

1096
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 5: he'd have to be in order for them to be a.

1097
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 5: Factor and, meanwhile you know With miami in The Eastern,

1098
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 5: conference you have a winning, record your Your Golden so that's.

1099
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 5: True you, know it really comes down to Can San

1100
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 5: antonio probably put together the best. Package Can houston put

1101
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 5: a better package Than? Miami, Yeah i'm fairly, EASILY i would,

1102
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 5: think depending on What phoenix. Wants if they want a starter,

1103
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 5: KIT i think if you if you didn't have those

1104
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 5: three preference. Places AND i got to, ask, like is

1105
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 5: there like did he pick the states that have no state?

1106
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: Tax, yeah he's.

1107
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 3: Getting getting down from that two point five flat tax In.

1108
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 3: Arizona he wants. OUT i want it to.

1109
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 5: Zero that was too that was too much. There we

1110
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 5: got to go to zero BECAUSE i think ultimately the

1111
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 5: best place for, him If phoenix were willing to do,

1112
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 5: it is to send him to The Denver. Nuggets AND

1113
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,360
Speaker 5: i would even Say Jamal murray to make that. Happen

1114
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 5: IF i IF i Have Aaron gordon And Kevin, DURANT

1115
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 5: I i WOULD i first like try to see IF

1116
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 5: i could make a deal built Around Michael Porter. Junior

1117
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 5: but if they don't go for, THAT i WOULD i

1118
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,919
Speaker 5: would Deal Jamal murray IF i could GET, Kd Aaron

1119
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 5: gordon and Jok Because jokic is My he's My he's

1120
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,760
Speaker 5: kind of my point center, anyway, RIGHT i can play

1121
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 5: through him and the idea of HAVING kd And Aaron

1122
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 5: gordon working on on on both sides of the. Floor

1123
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 5: off of, THAT i can fill the rest of the.

1124
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 5: Blanks AND i would if you PUT kd. THERE i

1125
