Speaker 1: Welcome to the State of the Lakers on Dash Radio
Speaker 1: and it's Saturday. Thank you guys so much for coming
Speaker 1: to hang out man bad news, rough night for the Lakers.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate Raj covering for me as I had
Speaker 1: yet another holiday party. I love the holidays. I love
Speaker 1: being around family. I love spending time with my loves
Speaker 1: and loved ones. I love all of the social elements
Speaker 1: of it. But it can be so stressful socially just
Speaker 1: to constantly have stuff on your calendar, and then when
Speaker 1: you get married, it just gets doubled because you got
Speaker 1: all her friends, you got all her family, and it
Speaker 1: just becomes a whole thing. But that said, I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 1: It's just exhausting, and I feel bad because I haven't
Speaker 1: been available to Raj Dad obviously in conjunction with my
Speaker 1: my grandfather's funeral, made things really complicated. But it's good
Speaker 1: to be back. I'm going to be back with the
Speaker 1: normal postgame show routine tomorrow night, and I'm excited about that.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk Anthony Davis today. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: dwell too much on the game last night. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a textbook, like you know, injuries just sucked
Speaker 1: the life out of a team. It was one of
Speaker 1: the big problems with that I had with playing Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis in game six I think it was Game six,
Speaker 1: um of the series against the Phoenix Suns. I thought
Speaker 1: as soon as Anthony Davis got out there and was
Speaker 1: clearly hurt, I thought it sucked the life out of
Speaker 1: the team. They were horrible in the first quarter. They
Speaker 1: dug way too big of a hole, and it ended
Speaker 1: up being something they couldn't come back from. I thought
Speaker 1: it from a strategy standpoint, it was it would have
Speaker 1: been better just to try to steal that Game six
Speaker 1: and maybe let him play Game seven, you know, because
Speaker 1: you'd have an extra two days there. But it just
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with that strategy. And you saw another
Speaker 1: example of that effect last night. Obviously not as some
Speaker 1: sort of injury management, but when Anthony Davis goes down.
Speaker 1: You know, when you have a team like this where
Speaker 1: all of the talent is tied up lebron in a
Speaker 1: d and one of them goes down, it's really discouraging.
Speaker 1: It takes the life out of your team. It makes
Speaker 1: it really really hard to continue believing in what you're
Speaker 1: trying to do on the court, and so you can
Speaker 1: kind of see. I thought the game was kind of
Speaker 1: trending like the Sacramento game from a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: the one where Lebron didn't play, where we kind of
Speaker 1: played down to the competition for about a half and
Speaker 1: it looked frustrating. But then we just came out like
Speaker 1: gangbusters in the second half and and made a real
Speaker 1: run at it and ran away with the game. I
Speaker 1: thought we were heading in that direction, uh there, as
Speaker 1: we were going on that run to start the second half,
Speaker 1: and then Anthony Davis went down and and that's just
Speaker 1: how it goes. Lebron also had a bad game, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be too you know, hard on him
Speaker 1: about that, considering the fact that he had been playing
Speaker 1: so well for a couple of weeks. But it's kind
Speaker 1: of a throwaway game. It is what it is. The
Speaker 1: team is still trending in the right direction in terms
Speaker 1: of their habits, and honestly, they're completely ravaged with COVID.
Speaker 1: All of these teams right now. We're gonna talk more
Speaker 1: about COVID here after we get to Anthony Davis, but
Speaker 1: all these teams that are down, all these players it's
Speaker 1: not fair to really evaluate them because they're hardly feeling
Speaker 1: a fielding anything remotely resembling what their basketball team is
Speaker 1: actually gonna look like when we get to end of this,
Speaker 1: when we get to the end of this road, So
Speaker 1: let's kind of throw away. Moving on, Anthony Davis. I waited,
Speaker 1: you know, here, it's four pm local time in Tucson.
Speaker 1: I waited until this point in the day to to
Speaker 1: get the result from the m R I because I
Speaker 1: just didn't see the point and trying to pontificate about
Speaker 1: these different scenarios until we knew, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And obviously I got back and from some of the
Speaker 1: stuff I was working on today, and and and it
Speaker 1: was still hadn't come out yet, and I was about
Speaker 1: to record a pod where I was about to go
Speaker 1: over both scenarios, and I'm really glad that I don't
Speaker 1: have to do that. That this I think this was
Speaker 1: the best case scenario. For those of you haven't seen
Speaker 1: the report, it's an mcl sprain. He's gonna be out
Speaker 1: four weeks at least before they re evaluate him. But
Speaker 1: when I saw that, I thought that was the best
Speaker 1: case scenario. When you see a guy in that much pain,
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be Oh he's fine and ready to
Speaker 1: go on a couple of days. That's just not how
Speaker 1: it goes, especially when you saw him collapsing in the tunnel. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I was excited when I heard that they did that
Speaker 1: on site, you know, kind of like physical test on
Speaker 1: the knee to see if it had stability. And it
Speaker 1: was still fine, and I'm glad for that, but I
Speaker 1: was still worried with the pain. That best case scenario,
Speaker 1: we were looking at a month, you know, and my
Speaker 1: guesses will probably be without Anthony Davis for two months.
Speaker 1: We're probably looking at about, you know, after the All
Speaker 1: Star break as a return, you know, and some of
Speaker 1: the stuff that was going around about what he would do,
Speaker 1: you know, if Anthony Davis was out for the season
Speaker 1: was so ridiculous to me. Guys, Lebron's not leaving l A.
Speaker 1: His family is so ingrained in that community. Now, his
Speaker 1: son is going both of his kids are going to
Speaker 1: high school at Sierra Canyon. He loves it there. Would
Speaker 1: it be a huge bummer? Would it be really difficult
Speaker 1: for him to compete with if Anthony Davis had a
Speaker 1: serious injury? Yes, but there was just no scenario where
Speaker 1: he was gonna up and leave and go to another city.
Speaker 1: You certainly weren't going to trade Anthony day Us. That
Speaker 1: was ludicrous. There was a bunch of really ridiculous things.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't make sense to make a small trade
Speaker 1: on the periphery, like flipping th HT for a Miles
Speaker 1: Turner or something, if you're not going to compete for
Speaker 1: a title this year. At that point, you need th
Speaker 1: HT to develop. So I'm really glad we didn't have
Speaker 1: to dive too far into that as possibilities that all.
Speaker 1: A lot of those talking points that were going around
Speaker 1: yesterday I thought were kind of ridiculous. This is the
Speaker 1: best case scenario. So for starters, we can all kind
Speaker 1: of exhale and and take a deep breath and realize,
Speaker 1: as bad as it could have been, this was the
Speaker 1: best case scenario. And I actually so I want to
Speaker 1: talk about what I think the Laker strategy is moving forward,
Speaker 1: and how I think there's a little tiny nugget of
Speaker 1: a silver lining potentially tucked in here, and we'll go
Speaker 1: over all of that. So I think what I was
Speaker 1: gonna say is, if A d was horribly injured, like
Speaker 1: season ending injured. I was gonna recommend not trading anybody
Speaker 1: because at that point you desperately need th h T
Speaker 1: to hit as an all star level prospect to help
Speaker 1: carry you through this time, and I don't think Lebron
Speaker 1: and a D are going anywhere, so it just didn't
Speaker 1: make sense to cash in in the meantime. But we
Speaker 1: talked a lot during the season that we would trade
Speaker 1: th HT potentially or be in favor of trading th
Speaker 1: HD if the team was trending in the right direction
Speaker 1: and had enough of that success apart from th HD
Speaker 1: that you could count him as a trade piece that
Speaker 1: might invigorate the team, as opposed to if th HD
Speaker 1: was playing great and the team was playing great, it
Speaker 1: would make no sense in trading him, And if the
Speaker 1: team was going nowhere, it would make no sense in
Speaker 1: trading him. Those were kind of like the three scenarios
Speaker 1: that we were looking at their well. I think with
Speaker 1: the a D injury, now you have to trade Taylor
Speaker 1: Horton Tucker. And the reason why I say that is
Speaker 1: this season is still alive in terms of a potential
Speaker 1: run at the championship. Why because is the teams at
Speaker 1: the top are flawed Phoenix. The Phoenix Suns don't have
Speaker 1: that super duper star. The Utah Jazz don't have that
Speaker 1: super duper star. The Golden State Warriors, as great as
Speaker 1: they are, they don't have that big, rim pressuring wing
Speaker 1: that is so you know, necessary at the late rounds
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. That doesn't mean Golden State's not a contender.
Speaker 1: I absolutely respect them as a contender. I just think
Speaker 1: they can be beat and I think the Lakers could
Speaker 1: beat them. And so with Anthony Davis making a return
Speaker 1: this season, that's still all on the table. And then
Speaker 1: coming out of the East, you're likely gonna get Brooklyn
Speaker 1: and that's a team the Lakers have the ability to
Speaker 1: physically bully. So I think you have to understand the
Speaker 1: opportunity that is this season once you look at it
Speaker 1: from that perspective. With Anthony Davis gone, your front court
Speaker 1: is utterly depleted. Your front court is now DeAndre Jordan's,
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard, Lebron, James Carmelo, Anthony, Trevor Reza. So I've
Speaker 1: got a primarily defensive old forward, a prime merely offensive
Speaker 1: old forward, and two centers. One of them is a
Speaker 1: backup and one of them should be an end of
Speaker 1: the bench guy, So you absolutely have to now go
Speaker 1: after that Miles Turner trade. I didn't like the Miles
Speaker 1: Turner trade when Anthony Davis was healthy because I thought
Speaker 1: it was going away from the identity that this team
Speaker 1: was trying to build. But now with Anthony Davis out
Speaker 1: for at least a month, probably too, you need to
Speaker 1: find a way to float in the standings in the
Speaker 1: immediate future, and the only way to do that is
Speaker 1: to flip th ht for a guy like Miles Turner
Speaker 1: that can really shore up the front court while simultaneously
Speaker 1: giving you that floor spacing with his ability to shoot
Speaker 1: that will allow Lebron and Rush to carry you. Because
Speaker 1: now think about this, Lebron and Russ are gonna have
Speaker 1: enormous workloads over the course of these next two months.
Speaker 1: So if you can find a way to bring that
Speaker 1: talent into the front court with Miles Turner while maintaining
Speaker 1: that space and keeping the floor open for lab On
Speaker 1: and Rush to pressure the rim, you might be able
Speaker 1: to grind out a few games over five hundred over
Speaker 1: the course of these next couple of months, in which
Speaker 1: case then Anthony Davis can come back, and now you
Speaker 1: can really make a run at it. Ideally, I would
Speaker 1: have liked to have kept th HT and traded in
Speaker 1: for someone like Jeremy Grant. I just don't think that's
Speaker 1: an option now, unless you want to go crazy all
Speaker 1: in on small ball, and you know, we don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on in the front office. Maybe they want
Speaker 1: to go that way. I just don't think that's the
Speaker 1: smart strategy now with Anthony Davis out, So I would
Speaker 1: flip t HT sooner than later, sometime, and then as
Speaker 1: soon as his contract allows, which i've heard middle December,
Speaker 1: I've heard middle January. I'm not sure when exactly that is.
Speaker 1: I think you gotta flip t HD from Miles Turner.
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go go all in on a
Speaker 1: front court of Lebron and Miles Turner, with Dwight Howard
Speaker 1: coming off the bench in Areza and Mellow coming in
Speaker 1: at that other forward spot off the bench. I think
Speaker 1: you gotta go all in on that and just try
Speaker 1: to float things until Anthony Davis comes back. Now, like
Speaker 1: I said, there is a silver lining to all of this,
Speaker 1: and I think it has to do with Anthony Davis's weight.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be hard because he's not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to exercise as easily as you would hope. But uh,
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis got too heavy. I think that was the
Speaker 1: underrated factor in his struggles over the course of the season.
Speaker 1: Mobility has never been his absolute strength, you know, like
Speaker 1: he's not like a honest like he's not flying around
Speaker 1: the floor and covering all sorts of ground relative to
Speaker 1: like a wing, but relative to Biggs, he was very mobile,
Speaker 1: and he got so strong up top he was almost
Speaker 1: top heavy. His center of gravity moved up, it became
Speaker 1: easy to push him off his spots, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: his mobility took a dip, and I think it really
Speaker 1: really was affecting him in his ability to get to
Speaker 1: the basket. You can trim that weight in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways. One of the ways you can do it
Speaker 1: is just by stopping, just not lifting anymore. And so
Speaker 1: hopefully over the course of these next two months he
Speaker 1: can kind of cut that out, watch his diet very carefully,
Speaker 1: do whatever cardio his doctor will allow him to do
Speaker 1: with his knee rehab, and he can drop a few pounds,
Speaker 1: and even if he just drops five to ten pounds
Speaker 1: of muscle, he might be able to come back rested, fresh, lighter,
Speaker 1: more mobile, and ready to go on a run. Not
Speaker 1: to mention during that time that second month, you know,
Speaker 1: because that first month he's gonna be resting. In that
Speaker 1: second month, when he's really just slowly ramping up his movement,
Speaker 1: he can go all in on working on his jump
Speaker 1: shot and trying to get back to where he was
Speaker 1: in terms of his confidence in his shot, the way
Speaker 1: he was in the bubble. So again, just in summation,
Speaker 1: I would you have to trade th HT now you
Speaker 1: have to trade him for a guy like Miles Turner.
Speaker 1: You have to pay whatever the Indiana wants because you
Speaker 1: are now the desperate team. This window is still open.
Speaker 1: Golden State is beatable. The other teams are very beatable.
Speaker 1: You have to make a run at this and the
Speaker 1: only way to do it is to stay afloat in
Speaker 1: the standings, try to get a three or four seed,
Speaker 1: and the only way to do that is to try
Speaker 1: to float this time that Anthony Davis is out, and
Speaker 1: I think you do that by trading th D. I
Speaker 1: really quickly before we get out of here, I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about this recent COVID outbreak. And to be clear,
Speaker 1: I'm not about to talk science. I'm not about to
Speaker 1: talk about my overarching opinions of the way COVID was
Speaker 1: handled by the US, and I'm not about to get
Speaker 1: in any of that. You guys know me. I avoid
Speaker 1: all that stuff with a ten foot poll, not just
Speaker 1: in the podcast but in my real in my main life.
Speaker 1: I think it's toxic. I I have opinions on stuff,
Speaker 1: I keep them mostly private. If I do have opinions,
Speaker 1: I just share them with my wife because she has
Speaker 1: an open ear, and I'm just not interested in confrontation.
Speaker 1: I enjoy my life devoid of that stuff, so I
Speaker 1: don't like to talk about it. But with this, particularly
Speaker 1: with the end uh the n b A, I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting to see the disconnect between the way people
Speaker 1: on Twitter feel about all of this and the way
Speaker 1: the actual players feel in the way the league feels.
Speaker 1: I tweeted a while back that Brian Windhors had reported
Speaker 1: on the Low Post podcast that there was a big
Speaker 1: push behind the scenes from players and coaches and front
Speaker 1: offices to try to let players play with positive tests
Speaker 1: as long as they were vaccinated, and everyone thought that
Speaker 1: was crazy, But I think it illustrates and by the
Speaker 1: way the NFL just had a similar story come back
Speaker 1: where NFL players are trying to advocate for being more
Speaker 1: lenient with pulling guys out, especially when they're vaccinated and
Speaker 1: they've tested positive. To me, that illustrates a big chasm
Speaker 1: between the way people on Twitter feel about the way
Speaker 1: the NBA is handling the pandemic and the way these
Speaker 1: people actually feel. It's not entirely uncommon. A dirty little
Speaker 1: secret about Twitter is that there's really not a huge
Speaker 1: representation of the public on Twitter. I remember reading statistic
Speaker 1: I think it was last year that only six percent
Speaker 1: of Americans are active on Twitter. So it's really just
Speaker 1: a poor representation of what people actually think. I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the most dangerous things about Twitter, as
Speaker 1: we get caught kind of in an echo chamber that
Speaker 1: doesn't actually resemble what the real world thinks or what
Speaker 1: the majority of people think. And that's not a right
Speaker 1: left thing. I think those echo chambers exist on both sides.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I've done on twitters try
Speaker 1: to follow people on both sides, so I'm constantly inundated
Speaker 1: with the takes from both sides, and you can see
Speaker 1: there's an echo chamber on both sides and you know that.
Speaker 1: But the point is is that Twitter in and of
Speaker 1: itself is never a good indicator of what people actually think.
Speaker 1: So if you're on your couch and you're watching all
Speaker 1: these positive tests pile up and you're thinking the league
Speaker 1: needs to stop, or that there's some sort of crisis
Speaker 1: materializing here, that's not actually the case. There is a
Speaker 1: crisis in the sense that the quality of the television
Speaker 1: project product is struggling, right, Like, guys missing games is
Speaker 1: no good for the quality of what we're watching on TV. However,
Speaker 1: the league has made it very clear that they're not stopping.
Speaker 1: And one of the biggest reasons why is the league
Speaker 1: is aware of the sentiment of its players. So, for instance,
Speaker 1: I I thought this was crazy when we were talking
Speaker 1: about the bubble. Everyone was talking about like why would
Speaker 1: we start. There was a bunch of people on Twitter saying,
Speaker 1: why would we restart the the NBA season and the bubble?
Speaker 1: It's a pointless risk. This is that we're doing this
Speaker 1: just to chase money. And I was one of the
Speaker 1: many people who pointed out, like, hey, the bubble is
Speaker 1: gonna be safer than the real world. The guys in
Speaker 1: there are gonna be obeyed really really strict protocols, and
Speaker 1: guys in the real world just weren't doing that. And
Speaker 1: I was proven right, and most I feel like most
Speaker 1: people were kind of where I was at on that,
Speaker 1: and the league had zero positive tests inside the bubble
Speaker 1: ended up being a huge success. And the reason why
Speaker 1: is because, guess what, these are young, successful professionals, and
Speaker 1: they don't think the way that Twitter thinks. They like
Speaker 1: going out and doing stuff. They like going to the clubs,
Speaker 1: they like going to bars. They like going to a
Speaker 1: buddy's house and having a glass of wine. They like,
Speaker 1: you know, being with their family. They like having a
Speaker 1: barbecue like you know, they like going to whatever the
Speaker 1: heck it is that they like to do as activities.
Speaker 1: They have no intention of stopping those things. If you
Speaker 1: pause the league, these guys are gonna go lock themselves
Speaker 1: in their houses. They're not gonna go you know, social
Speaker 1: distance and wear masks and never put themselves at risk.
Speaker 1: That's just not reality. If the league pause for a month,
Speaker 1: guys would just continue to get COVID. So the reality
Speaker 1: here is that they just have to find a way
Speaker 1: to slow it down to the point where it can
Speaker 1: you can have a functional season where the positive tests
Speaker 1: are few and far between instead of being a huge
Speaker 1: problem that's going to cause you know, these games where
Speaker 1: you have five G leaguers on the floor filling in
Speaker 1: for guys who are in health and safety protocols. You
Speaker 1: just have to find a way to get through this
Speaker 1: next couple of months. And you know, the interesting little
Speaker 1: sub story here is last season. This was something Joe
Speaker 1: l Embiad said and in a postgame interview, he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we had all of these good smart rules
Speaker 1: last year and then we ditched them all and he's like, out,
Speaker 1: this year was unprofessional, And he has a good point
Speaker 1: in the sense, and for the record, I'm going to
Speaker 1: defend the league here, you know, Like I think even
Speaker 1: Anthony Faucci and had came out and said that during
Speaker 1: the pandema, during the vaccination campaigns early in the year,
Speaker 1: in like January and February, I think he said like, hey,
Speaker 1: if we get everybody vaccinated, you know, we're not going
Speaker 1: to have any more surges, Like the surges will be
Speaker 1: a thing of the past. And that was kind of
Speaker 1: what everyone was expecting because the original data that came
Speaker 1: out with the vaccine was so good in terms of
Speaker 1: its ability to avoid infection. Also, when they were doing
Speaker 1: the vaccinations, cases were plumbering and plumbering and plumbering and plumbering.
Speaker 1: So we all thought that this year would be mostly
Speaker 1: back to normal, including the NBA. So of course the
Speaker 1: players Association negotiated stopping daily testing for people who are vaccinated. Well,
Speaker 1: it turns out that that was a bad decision, but
Speaker 1: we didn't know hindsight. It's easy right now to be
Speaker 1: like this was stupid. They were going off of the
Speaker 1: information that was available at the time. Okay, so now
Speaker 1: here we're at. We we were in a situation where
Speaker 1: we had all these guys who are testing pot and
Speaker 1: who are not testing, who were positive asymptomatic, vaccinated people
Speaker 1: carrying COVID around and spreading it around everybody in these
Speaker 1: locker rooms, and so you end up with seventy five
Speaker 1: people getting COVID in six weeks. So all you have
Speaker 1: to do is adjust to new information. They just need
Speaker 1: to go back to the same protocol as they had
Speaker 1: last year, go back to masking, go back to testing
Speaker 1: every day. If someone in the locker room does get COVID,
Speaker 1: then at least you're getting them out of the locker
Speaker 1: room right away instead of waiting for them to infect
Speaker 1: seven people before you can find it. There's an easy
Speaker 1: fix here. It'll be really really rough for the next
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, which is gonna suck because it's gonna
Speaker 1: hurt the Christmas Day games and it's gonna hurt you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of Marquee primetime games. And it is what
Speaker 1: it is. But they there is another side. There is
Speaker 1: a light at the end of this tunnel, and the
Speaker 1: league isn't stopping. They're gonna put the league guys in there.
Speaker 1: They're gonna sign the Isaiah thomas Is and the James
Speaker 1: ennis Is of the world, and they're gonna try to
Speaker 1: make this work. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: cases will eventually calm down. Guys. They'll be tested in
Speaker 1: the locker room so you won't have outbreaks on the
Speaker 1: teams and things will go back to normal. Just in general,
Speaker 1: it's just a general rule of thumb. Never care about
Speaker 1: something more than the person who's actually involved cares about it.
Speaker 1: This is it's it's a way to avoid your own
Speaker 1: stress levels. You know. A little short anecdote, I play
Speaker 1: in a men's league on Sundays, and I've been doing
Speaker 1: it for years now and I have a good rhythm
Speaker 1: and group now. But when I first started doing the
Speaker 1: men's leagues, I used to get really frustrated because I
Speaker 1: took the game so seriously. I practiced, you know, on
Speaker 1: my individual game, and I went into those games and
Speaker 1: I tried to win them at the best of my ability.
Speaker 1: Why because I'm a former college athlete. It's baked into
Speaker 1: who I am as a competitor, and when I get
Speaker 1: on a basketball court, I'm trying to kill you. That's
Speaker 1: just who I am as a as a guy on
Speaker 1: the court. Well, you know, I would get annoyed that
Speaker 1: some of the guys on my team wouldn't care as
Speaker 1: much as I would, and I wouldn't be something I
Speaker 1: said to them directly. I would just complain to my
Speaker 1: wife about it in the car on the way home.
Speaker 1: And my wife said something to me, and it was
Speaker 1: so profound. She goes, Honey, don't ever expect them to
Speaker 1: care as much as you do. You know, like you
Speaker 1: care a certain amount and that's good for you, But
Speaker 1: to these guys, it's just for fun, you know. And
Speaker 1: it was profound. It's just She's like don't waste time
Speaker 1: caring if someone else doesn't care. And so a couple
Speaker 1: I made a couple of changes there. I found a
Speaker 1: couple of other college athletes. So I have three or
Speaker 1: four guys on my teams now that actually care as
Speaker 1: much as I do. And then with the rest of
Speaker 1: the guys on the roster, I never allow myself to
Speaker 1: get upset about it. Why because they don't care. And
Speaker 1: I should never care more than I should never allow
Speaker 1: myself to get upset because I care more than they care.
Speaker 1: And that that's kind of the ideology I would take
Speaker 1: that with this. If you're sitting on your couch and
Speaker 1: you're upset that there's so many guys catching COVID in
Speaker 1: the NBA, they don't care. Guys, they don't care. So
Speaker 1: don't allow yourself to get stressed out and get upset
Speaker 1: because they feel a certain way and you don't. Just
Speaker 1: if you're upset about it, you know, you can cope
Speaker 1: with that however you want, but you're not going to
Speaker 1: get a reaction out of them when they simply don't care.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, that's all I have for today. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna post this one immediately because of the news surrounding
Speaker 1: a D but I will be there for the postgame
Speaker 1: show tomorrow. We're on the road in Chicago. The game
Speaker 1: starts at I think five Pacific Standard times, so plan
Speaker 1: on the postgame show right around seven thirty Pacific Standard time.
Speaker 1: As always, I appreciate your guys support and I'll see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow
