I think we should change it up. 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 3: Do three hours of New York Knicks basketball. Take an 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: hour from Birdie making four hours of New York Knicks basketball. 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: Let's go, Let's get wealthy, Let's get Bill Bradley on, 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: Let's get him all on. Man, come on, I'm so 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: I haven't been this excited about my next team in 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: I don't know since I was born, I mean since 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: those days, since my mom used to take me to 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: a Madison Square garden when we couldn't afford it, and 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 3: we get in with tickets and return them and so 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 3: we wouldn't have to pay for them. 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: And go to the games. 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: Man, It's just it's so exciting right now. I'm hoping 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 3: they can get through all the injuries though. 28 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: What can we can we get Rinaldo Balkman and Kevin 29 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,559 Speaker 1: Knox and I don't know, just let's let's start running 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: down all the way they go. Frederick Weiss is known 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: for one thing, and it's not what you want to 32 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: be known for. He is known for basically being I 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: don't know the the hurdle for Vince Carter. 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: Oh what he got is that what it was that 35 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 3: was the posterize of the dunk. 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: Posterize is one way to put It's still one of 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: the most vicious things. 38 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: I didn't even know he actually made it out to 39 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: the court for the New York Knicks, how about that? 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: So I don't know if he did. The only thing 41 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: I knew him for was for that one moment, and 42 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: that was in the international competition. But yes, we will 43 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: talk plenty of Nick's basketball before the end of the program. 44 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: In fact, we'll jump into it in the next segment. 45 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the business that was handled today first, 46 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: the game that just ended. Celtics over the Cavs. They've 47 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: been better on the road in the playoffs than they 48 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: have been at home. They win by thirteen. Tatum has 49 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: thirty three interesting. Torres is not here, but he sent 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: me a take a couple of days ago about the Celtics, 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: and as soon as he said it, I felt like 52 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: I could have said the exact same thing. I don't 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: know if you agree here, but I don't know what 54 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: it is about Boston. They're just not interesting to me 55 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: right Like they're kind of dull compared to some of 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: the other storylines that you can follow in some of 57 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: the other teams that we can follow. I don't know 58 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: what it is. Maybe it's just because they've been here before. 59 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: We've seen these guys in these playoffs situations before. I'm 60 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: not sure, but I'm not like super into watching them 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: play basketball right now. Like I've watched all the other 62 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: series and I've enjoyed them. And maybe it's just because 63 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: it's the Calves, but I like Donovan Mitchell. I enjoy 64 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: watching those guys. But the Celtics team just isn't exciting. 65 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a word. Not that they're not interesting. There's 66 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: plenty of interesting, but they're just not exciting. There's not 67 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: Their branded basketball right now just doesn't have my attention. 68 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 3: And you know what's funny, we really should not feel 69 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: that way for now. They have two superstars in Tatum 70 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: and Brown. I mean the shots these guys hit on 71 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: any given night is tremendous. I mean, they're great shooters. 72 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: They could put up thirty on any given night. Back 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: before they traded Marcus Smart, he was quite a character. 74 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: He was a great defensive player. He'd certainly knock you 75 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 3: on your butt. So you had, you know, you had 76 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: three guys you could certainly talk about and and you 77 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 3: know they were the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. 78 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 3: So what exactly do we want from them? I mean, 79 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: I know that over the last couple of years, I 80 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: think in their last thirty games, they're fifteen and fifteen 81 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. I don't know if that includes today's game, 82 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: so maybe sixteen and fifteen that's I think that's at home. 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 3: But man, they got to step it up. This was 84 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: a must win for them. They had to win this game. 85 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: But you're right, They're not an interesting team, but they 86 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: get things done. The number one seed in these drink 87 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: Conference we should appreciate the more. But the fact that 88 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: they don't have that championship that's the problem. 89 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: Remember Jaylen Brown. 90 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 3: Said he want to be working on his fifth or 91 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: sixth championship by now has zero. 92 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: Maybe that's why we don't put him in the higher 93 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 2: est them. 94 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I do think it is. It's become 95 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: a kind of old hat, like I'm used to seeing 96 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: them in this spot, but there's nothing. It's easy to 97 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: get excited right now watching the Timberwolves because you haven't 98 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: seen this before, and so there's all sorts of new 99 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: storylines emerging. My thunder, even if they weren't my team, 100 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: I would still be relatively excited to watch SGA play 101 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: and watch chat Holmgren play and watch some of these 102 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: young guys going out of Josh Kitty and everybody like that. 103 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: And then Denver's a defending champion and you want to 104 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: see what they can do coming back from this. Actually, 105 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: with Jokich winning his third MVP and then the Knicks Pacers, 106 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: we have the history of what that rivalry had been, 107 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, it is you're not the only one. Apparently 108 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: half of ESPN was and they felt the need to 109 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: say it, Like Kendrick Perkins came out and it was 110 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: just like, can we find out whether or not Jalen 111 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Brunson is heard or not and not hear anymore about Reggie? 112 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Yeah, so I and he wasn't speaking alone, 113 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: as you certainly agree, but I think a lot of 114 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: other people agreed to. But just the series in general 115 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: has been great, Like the games have been great. They've 116 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: been dramatic. We've had the ref show show up here. 117 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: We've had some bad blood kind of e merge here. 118 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: We've had kind of a Willis reedish moment for Jalen 119 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: Brunson coming back in Game two. That's been a fun series. 120 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: It's just something about this Celtics Cavs series where maybe 121 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: it is just I don't think the Calves can win it, 122 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: and so you're just kind of waiting to see how 123 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: many games it takes Boston to win it and how 124 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: unimpressive they're going to be a long way to get 125 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference finals. Just they don't have my attention. 126 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: Well, they lost that one game to Miami, and they 127 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: had the one loss to Cleveland. This series is still 128 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 3: not over. Cleveland comes back in the next game. It 129 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: ties this thing into a piece. I don't think the 130 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 3: Celtics are going to. 131 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: Go ahead and win it. 132 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: So yeah, no, no when this series. I don't know 133 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: about the Knicks series. I mean, I want to see 134 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 3: what's going on with Og and see how healthy he is. 135 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: That's a terrible loss for the Knicks. 136 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 3: I mean more than even people imagine, absolutely horrible. And 137 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 3: I want to see if the Boston series ends up 138 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 3: going at least six games. If it goes five games, 139 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: then the Celtics are sitting around getting healthy, resting. I 140 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: don't think the Knicks have a chance when all the 141 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 3: minutes these guys have been playing. So we'll see how 142 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: it works out for the Knicks tomorrow. But I think 143 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: that if it goes six, I think it does go six. 144 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 3: I think the Celtics win it, but then it makes 145 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 3: them play that extra game and they don't get any rest. 146 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, bark we said the other ninety 147 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: was just like the Knicks Pacer series. As good as 148 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: it is, it's just for the right to go get 149 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: stomped by the Celtics. I don't think that's true either. 150 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: I do think it's true if it's Indiana. 151 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 152 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: And we'll get into that a little bit more after 153 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: the break. We'll talk more about that series. But I 154 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: don't think Boston New York is just a total blowout 155 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: in favor of Boston. I just don't. I think there's 156 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: a lot of heart and there's a lot of there's 157 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of competitiveness on the side of the 158 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: Knicks with Brunson, with Josh Hart and Devincenzo just seems 159 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: to hit every big shot like he's good. I mean, 160 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: he was great at Villanova, don't get me wrong, but 161 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know he was going to be this in 162 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: the NBA. Like he is perfect for that team because 163 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: he had two matches, right. 164 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: He was a big part of Milwaukee. 165 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 3: He was He's had a better pro career than I expected. 166 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: That absolutely. 167 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: You know, it proves one thing when you look at 168 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: the Celtics, you don't need a big three. I mean 169 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: they say they need a third because they got Tatum 170 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: and Brown. What do the Knicks have other than Brunson 171 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: that's a big one and the right pieces around them. 172 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: All you really need is the right pieces around you, 173 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: and you can go far. You don't need the big three. 174 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: I hate when Celtic fans use that as an excuse. 175 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: We need one more person. We need to go ahead 176 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: and get that third person out there. The Knicks would 177 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 3: die for another person, and they very well may by 178 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: next year. But right now, I just love the makeup 179 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: of this team, and I think the Celtics are just 180 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: using that as an excuse right now. 181 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: Jason, Yeah, well, I mean, you know, they've got poor things. 182 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: It hasn't been out there for them. 183 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: That's true. That hurts a little bit. 184 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: I think that. And we saw this with the Lakers, 185 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: right I mean, they had two guys they had and 186 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: you could even like Austin Reeves too, But I think 187 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: that it's not about having a big three. But if 188 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna do it with two, and certainly if you're 189 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: gonna do with one, which I don't know if you 190 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: can win a championship with one, you can. As you said, 191 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: you can go a decent ways. But if you've got 192 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: too all you got to do is make sure that 193 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: they're complimented. You don't duplicate them. You can't xerox the 194 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: basketball team. That's what Phoenix tried to do. Phoenix tried 195 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: to xerox their way copy their way. They had three 196 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: eyes batically the exact same thing, and it left holes 197 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: everywhere else, including depth, but also defense. And so they 198 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: got beat and their coach got ousted, and apparently they 199 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: were already talking to his successor but before they fired him. 200 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: So that's a that's a story. 201 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: By the way, I'm just gonna ask you, how long 202 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: should you have? How many years should you have before 203 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: you really should get fired or if you know that 204 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 3: somebody's just not going to work out, if you get 205 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 3: rid of them right away after your first year, I 206 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: should you have at least three years? 207 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: Or is that just the old days? You know? 208 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: I guess it just it just it's hard to say 209 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: that there should be a hard and fast rule because 210 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: if it's your money and you're the one that's footing 211 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: the bill, if you are relatively sure you know what 212 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: this is not working. 213 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: You still got to pay the guy. 214 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, you still got to pay him. If 215 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: you if you just absolutely believe that it can't work, 216 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: then I don't think that you sit there on that 217 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: for an extra couple of years. Like I don't think 218 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: the Chargers thought that that thing was gonna work with 219 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, and they still brought him back and they 220 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: cost themselves a year. Now they end up harball. Now 221 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: we'll see what that is. But they wasted a complete year. 222 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: They wasted a year justin Herbert's career. They wasted a 223 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: year where their money was in better case. 224 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: If they go a year early, that's the problem. 225 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: Maybe not, maybe not, And so I mean, there's there's 226 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: gonna be trade offs there, but I don't like the 227 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: unless that coach has done something egregious, right, like if 228 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: he's broken a rule, or if there's been like major 229 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: issues in the locker room, character issues, those kinds of 230 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: things that the teams quit on him, then that's a 231 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: different story. But if a coach is working relatively hard 232 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: and you make the playoffs, it's hard to immediately let 233 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: that go, let that guy go that quickly. Like I 234 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: don't know what happened with the Bucks, but obviously it 235 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: didn't last very long with Adrian Griffin. And then you 236 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: bring in Doc Rivers and well you see how that's walk. 237 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 3: He was what thirty and thirteen at that point. I 238 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: don't even understand how you make a move on. There's 239 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: coaches that have won championships. Let's look up how many 240 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: NBA coaches have won Coach of the Year and then 241 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: a year or two or three years later they all get. 242 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: Fired, you know. 243 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I can probably five or six of them. 244 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right, And I think they're having a 245 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: quick trigger with coaches. Usually you're not a good franchise 246 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: if you do that. Usually you're gonna be picking in 247 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: the lottery a lot more often than not. And it's 248 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: not just the obvious, well you've got bad coaches. It's no, 249 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: you're not even giving somebody a chance to grow into it. 250 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: You're not letting somebody evolve. You're not letting somebody get 251 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: familiar with that organization and its players and its makeup 252 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: and its business side and all of that and really 253 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: be a part of it. Like you have to give 254 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: them some time if you can. If it turns into 255 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: a turnstile, I don't think that that works for anybody, 256 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: right right, I mean that's the same. Look at the Browns. 257 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the Browns finally kept somebody, and look what's happened. 258 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: You You said the owner. 259 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: When the owner gets fed up because it's his money, 260 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: it's not the owner that's really making these changes. 261 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: You have to stand that, don't you. 262 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah either MS well, no, no, no, it's either A 263 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: the fans are so outraged or B it's the players 264 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: like Lebron who is calling the shots for the Lakers. 265 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: We know, we know that, we know it was Lebron, 266 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: of course. 267 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: I mean, if it goes back to Magic Johnson does 268 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,119 Speaker 3: there's a lot of players that get their coaches fired. 269 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: That's right. I mean they've gone through what six coaches 270 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: in twelve years. But that article that came out in 271 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: the Athletic right after they lost, with all these unnamed 272 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: sources and players that had just gone and spilled the 273 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: t on Darvin Ham, it was just like, man, that 274 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: you got those sources real quick, like real quick, almost 275 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: like you already had it written. 276 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 2: And they all at the same time too. How about that? 277 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: Uh together? How about that? 278 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: Yeah? It was amazing how well that coalesced. 279 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: I think it was unnamed source day. 280 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's why I when I heard I 281 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: can't remember who it was, just somebody on Ari or 282 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: Ways this week that said just let Lebron be the coach, 283 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: and I think it was an NBA guy, like not 284 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: not even somebody that covers it. I don't even think 285 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: you can do that. 286 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: You can't even be a player coach anymore. 287 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: I think that's against I don't know effect, in effect, 288 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: you should because in effect, he is the one that 289 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: runs the show. 290 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: He is the one that's making all the decisions for you. 291 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: When you saw that story that they were willing to 292 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: bend over backwards, give him every set that they could 293 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: possibly pay him, ship whoever they needed to away and 294 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: draft his son Like, okay, well we know who owns 295 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: the franchise, right, Yes, I know there are people that 296 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: are in offices bigger than his in that building, but 297 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: it's his team, it's his franchise at this point. Well, 298 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: I either LA fans believe that or not. 299 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: I don't blame Genie at all. I think that she 300 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: has to do that. There's really they're not gonna win 301 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 3: a championship if he goes what's gonna happen with Anthony Davis. 302 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 3: I think he must keep Lebron around. I would try 303 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 3: to talk it to him about getting Broughty on a 304 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 3: free agent's signature, but obviously he wants to get him 305 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: drafted to make him look better. So if you got 306 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: to draft him in the second round. So be it 307 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: that that's the way it looks, but they still need 308 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: another person. 309 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it is a charity case to draft him though, 310 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I mean if his name, if his last 311 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: name was Jones and not James. Right, he's not even 312 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: considering he he can't even find an agent. 313 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: He staying school for four years is what he's doing. 314 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: He's probably not even at USC. Yeah, you know, I 315 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: mean that's the pathway has been cleared for him. I 316 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. 317 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: Certainly not like rooting for him to fail, but based 318 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: on what we've seen him actually do, and even like 319 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: the stories of people watching him at the McDonald's All 320 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Star Game and all that, they were just kind of like, 321 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: who is this guy? 322 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you mentioned that do you do 323 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 3: something or you don't. Lebron's doing something. It will probably 324 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: end up broddy being on the Lakers. Jerry Rice didn't 325 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: do anything to help his son. Right, doesn't even get drafted, 326 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: and he's not curious. I was just about to say, 327 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: now Jerry's upset. You don't think Jerry could have made 328 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: a call to not only San Francisco. But he could 329 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: have probably he's probably's those connections to just about every 330 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: team in the NFL, you know, people in office, and 331 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: he could have made a call today. Can you look 332 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: at my kid? He was supposed to be a middle 333 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: round draft pick anyway. You know, with jeans like that, 334 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: you think somebody would have taken a chance. 335 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: He could have easily made it happen for his kid. 336 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: Well, it seems to me if somebody would have called him, Hey, Jerry, 337 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: tell us about your son. Yeah, yeah, you think somebody 338 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: would have made that call? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I've 339 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: got scouts who can watch tape two, But what are 340 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: they doing? But I don't know the greatest wide receiver 341 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: of all time. I'm probably gonna talk to him, even 342 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: if he's going to be a bit biased, obviously in 343 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: favor of his son. And here's a story that he's upset. 344 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 3: That he's supposed to be a middle round draft pick 345 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: and he doesn't go, I'll reach out and take him 346 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: in the last round, just just on the chance, you know, 347 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 3: let's do it. 348 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah, all right, So we did. So we 349 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: talked a little bit about that. The second game. We 350 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: didn't talk too much about the MAVs. 351 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 3: We will though they said he was drafted. They said 352 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 3: he was drafted the seventh I thought he wasn't drafted. 353 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, the Chargers actually took him in the seventh round. 354 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, my bad. I thought that they had 355 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: passed on him, So okay, So that's at least the good. 356 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: Prball probably likes his last name Rice. Is he related 357 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: to Jerry that just draft him. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, 358 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: and I don't necessarily blame him either. Let's talk more 359 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: Knicks Pacers when we come back. I think that's a 360 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: really interesting series. We will talk a little bit about 361 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: the MAVs and the thunder. And I already apologized last 362 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: week on this program, and Aaron Torres backed me up 363 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: and apologized kind of alongside me. Wow, we had to, 364 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: and we'll do it again because yet again, somebody hit 365 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: a big shot and somebody has been quiet as a 366 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: church mouse on the bad side and has been a 367 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: phenomenal teammate on the good side. We'll tell you who 368 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: that is, and then we'll talk more about Nick Spacers 369 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: on the other side.

Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. 388 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six 389 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: nine two winners today the Celtics and the MAVs getting 390 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: the better of the top seeded thunder in the West. 391 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: Here's I told you that I apologized Arnie last week. Yeah, 392 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: I apologize Kyrie Irving because he's been great this year. 393 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: He's been really good for them and in the playoffs. 394 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, have you heard anything negative coming from Kyrie? No? No, No, 395 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: He's just been playing great basketball. And I was sure 396 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: that it would not work with him and Luca, and 397 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm stunned that it has. But we are to a 398 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: place where it might be better to have Kyrie Irving 399 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: as your teammate than it is Kevin Durant. 400 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: Why we're knocking Kevin Kurt Durant now, are we? It's 401 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 3: amazing because, yeah, how quickly you fall from grace now, 402 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 3: which is what Kevin Durant has gone. You know, somebody 403 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: brought up a good point. When we look back at 404 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: his career, we're just gonna think Kevin Durant the individual. 405 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: We're not going to really associate him with any team, 406 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: are we. I Mean, he's he's been bounced around, won 407 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 3: a championship, but we don't associate him with Golden State 408 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 3: or Brooklyn or Phoenix or wherever out there. But you're right, 409 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 3: Kyrie's been fantastic. I can't knock him. He's been really 410 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 3: good for them. 411 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: So far and certainly hit a crucial shot late that 412 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: held onto that win for the MAVs. So they lost 413 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: the first game of the series and they won two 414 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: since and now they are they're in good position against 415 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: a young thunder team that's really good, but they are 416 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: now in a spot they've never been in before where 417 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: they are the hunted, not the hunters. Right, that's the 418 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: number one seed, and the MAVs have been in the 419 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: playoffs for a couple of years, and Kyrie's won a 420 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: title before, and Luca has seemingly become a better teammate 421 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: this year than in years past. And I wasn't sure 422 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: that he was going to It just didn't seem like 423 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: it was his style that you were just gonna have 424 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: to take the good with the bad, and sometimes you 425 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: still do. But they have complimented each other a lot 426 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: better than I would have thought, Like when you think 427 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: about how they get Kyrie and they lose Brunson prior 428 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: to that and the MAP, I mean, the MAVs at 429 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: one point had Brunson and they had Luca. I don't 430 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: and Brunson was playing well. I don't think anybody thought 431 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: Brunson was going to be fourth in the MVP voting 432 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: the way that he was this year and step out 433 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: the way that he has for the Knicks. I mean, 434 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: he's become the heart and soul of the team, right, 435 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: So let's talk about that because that's your squad. Yes, 436 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: and they're relevant, and I actually I'm excited that they 437 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: are relevant. It's I think I think the NBA is 438 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: better with a Knicks that is not an embarrassment. Quite frankly, 439 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: I think it's a I like Madison Square Garden to matter. 440 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: I like that atmosphere and the way everything has felt. 441 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: It's been a really good series. It's been hard fought, 442 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: it's been closed, it's been tight. You've seen a lot 443 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: of big time shots made on both sides. But I'm 444 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: gonna say this from the Pacers perspective, and I teased 445 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: this earlier, there is something missing with the Indiana Pacers, 446 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: Like down the stretch, I do not believe in them. 447 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: They end up winning Game three, I'm kind of shocked 448 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: by it. Tyrese Halliburton is an outstanding player and we 449 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: don't even know if he's gonna be able to go. 450 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: He's questionable for Game number four right now. 451 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean he's got like three different ailments and 452 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound good. But I'm sure he's gonna try 453 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: to cut it out, but it kind of blew me 454 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: away watching Game three late how he was afraid to 455 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: take shots like he was just not He was trying 456 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hands pretty much 457 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: at any cost late, and he was I mean, he 458 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: was draining shots early. He's got Caitlyn cheering for him 459 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: in the hands when he hits the fifth three in 460 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: the first half. He's passing to Pascal Siakam, who's shooting 461 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: like fifteen percent from the free throw line right in 462 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs, I think it's legitimately like forty some percent. 463 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 3: So I think the double team him to get the 464 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 3: ball out of his hands a couple of times, and 465 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: then he spotted his teammates open. I mean, they do 466 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: score a lot of points, so there are a lot 467 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: of scorers on that team, and it doesn't all have 468 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 3: to be him. 469 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: I know it starts with him. 470 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 3: He's a great passer too, leads the team and the cists, 471 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: lead the league and has. 472 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: Says, so you know, he certainly could do it all. 473 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 3: He doesn't have to always shoot, and even though he 474 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: was on fire, that's when you have to certainly pull 475 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: the trigger. 476 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: Though that's It just seems to be like there's something 477 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: different between watching him, there's a difference in his mentality, 478 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: as good as he is and Jalen Brunson's. Brunson goes 479 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: right into you, forces the issue, takes the tough shot, 480 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: clearly wants the ball in his hands, trusts himself in 481 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: those moments to make the right decisions. Halliburton, you mentioned 482 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: that they doubled him a few times. They did, but 483 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: there were also sometimes they didn't, And it seems like 484 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: you wanted to get the ball out of his hands 485 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: also in that moment You've got to have. The Pacers 486 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: need a guy who wants the ball in that moment 487 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: all the time. Doesn't just want it in the second 488 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: quarter to keep you down three or to keep you 489 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: up five, wants it in the fourth quarter when it's clutching. 490 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: It's tough. And I didn't see that from him the 491 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: way that I wanted to in Game three. But I 492 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: think that all three of these games. Yeah, we can 493 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: talk the refs, and maybe we will after we hear 494 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: from Kevin Wyert here in a second, but I think 495 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: they've all come down to which team rebounded better in 496 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: the last five minutes. Of the game. The Knicks got 497 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: like every key offensive rebound insg and in Game three 498 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: there were like three four possessions of the last ten 499 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: probably where the Pacers had three shots every time when 500 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: they hit the ball. Yeah, the big three, that's right. 501 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 2: Big three was off and off offensive rebound. 502 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 3: And by the way, let that be a lesson everybody 503 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 3: to get into just because you can't grab the ball 504 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 3: to get the offensive rebound. 505 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: I love what the Knicks do. 506 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 3: They slapped that ball out there and tip it up 507 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 3: and smack it out there and they track it on down. 508 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: You don't have to grab it, just hit it out there. 509 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 2: Your guy will grab. 510 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: It, you know. Yeah, that's absolutely right. So we will 511 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: jump back into this discussion and we'll talk about the 512 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: Rev Show a little bit when we come back. Let's 513 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: go out to uh let's go out to Sherman Oaks Final. 514 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: What's happening in the world of sports and take it 515 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: to Kevin Wire. Kevin. 516 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, the Celtics and Cavaliers has gone final not too 517 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 6: long ago, and it is Boston taking a two to 518 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 6: one series lead. 519 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 7: From the the final seconds tick off the clock and 520 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 7: it's like a rerun roundhog Day again and again and again. 521 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 7: The Celtics lose a game at home, then come on 522 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 7: the road and wrestle home court advantage right back. The 523 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 7: final score in Game three Boston one oh six, Cleveland 524 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 7: ninety three. The Celtics leave the series two games to one. 525 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 7: That was the Celtics radio work with the call. Boston 526 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 7: taking that two to one series lead, largely thanks to 527 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 7: the work, I mean, as it often does. Jason Tatum 528 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 7: three thirty three points on eleven at twenty five shooting. 529 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 7: Jalen Brown had twenty eight points, Drew Holliday had eighteen, 530 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 7: So a lot of guys contributing for the Celtics, but 531 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 7: for the Cavaliders there's really Donovan Mitchell. Evan Mobley also 532 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 7: helped out a bit too, but really they didn't get 533 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 7: much other help at all from the rest of their teammates. 534 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 7: Mitchell had thirty three points, Mobley at seventeen. We did 535 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 7: see Darius Garland come on strong a little toward the end, 536 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 7: so we ended up finishing with fifteen, but for the 537 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 7: most part it was just Mitchell and Mobley getting it 538 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 7: done for the Cavaliers as they. 539 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: Come up short. 540 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 6: Donovan Mitchell went seven to twelve shooting from beyond the 541 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 6: three point line. Did the rest of the team combine 542 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 6: five of twenty four, so it really was a struggle 543 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 6: for anyone not named Donovan Mitchell or Evan Mobley. In 544 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 6: the game featween the Mavericks and the thunder Dallas wins 545 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 6: at one oh five, one on one. They take a 546 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 6: two to one lead in that series. The big three 547 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 6: for the Mavericks getting it done PJ. Washington, Kyrie, Irving, 548 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 6: Luka Doncic combining for seventy one points. Washington with twenty seven, 549 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 6: Kyrie and Luca each with twenty two. Luca also had 550 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 6: himself fifteen rebounds and five assists. Shake Guiltis Alexander had 551 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 6: a great game, came up just short, but he left 552 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 6: it all out on the court thirty one points, ten rebounds, 553 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 6: six assists, five blocks. That's actually the second most in 554 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 6: a single game by a point guard in NBA history. 555 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 6: Fred Van Fleet did get six in a game back 556 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 6: on January twenty fourth, But other than that, a bunch 557 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 6: of guys tied with Shake Guiltes Alexander with five blocks 558 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 6: as a point guard in a single game. In the 559 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 6: NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, Hurricane Stay Alive in their series, 560 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 6: with the Rangers winning at four to three, so they're 561 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 6: now behind in that series three games to one. One 562 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 6: game going on right now, Stars and Avalanche up in Denver. 563 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 6: They're in the middle of the second period and it 564 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 6: is Dallas leading this one two to one. Major League 565 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 6: Baseball everything most everything, actually, all but two games have 566 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 6: gone final, Athletics leaving the Mariners two to one. They're 567 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 6: in the eighth inning, Angels pounding the Royals nine to three. 568 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 6: They're in the seventh out in Anaheim, but everything else 569 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 6: has concluded. Dodgers finished off the Padres five to nothing. 570 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 6: Rockies over the Rangers eight three. Brewers come back to 571 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 6: beat the Cardinals five to three, Giants over the Reds 572 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 6: five to one. White Sox edge the Guardians three one. 573 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 6: Tiger's bough at the Astros eight to two, Red Sox 574 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 6: over the Nationals four to two. Phillies beat the Marlins 575 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 6: eight to three, Raise over the Yankees seven to two, 576 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 6: Braves beat the Mets four to one, Pirates outlast the 577 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 6: Cubs ten to nine, and the Orioles edge the Diamondbacks 578 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 6: five to four. 579 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, Thank you, Kevin. Welcome back into 580 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: ireck dot com. Studios, Fox Sports Saturday. He's Arnie Spanier, 581 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm Jason Martin. All right, back to Nick's Pacers. Yeah, 582 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: how do you feel about the officiating? 583 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 3: You know, first of all, I'm not gonna cry about 584 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: it the way Carlisle is. It's starting to just be 585 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 3: a little bit too much. The whole we're gonna send 586 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 3: in one hundred and seventy two plays that they melt 587 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 3: it with seventy seventy six I think. But yes, it's ridiculous. 588 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 3: It's absolutely ridiculous. And you know, look, there's a lot 589 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: of plays we can call like that. I could have 590 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 3: said the same thing in Game three was a goaltending 591 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 3: on the on the Jason hard shot. You know how 592 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 3: many times they they admitted that they made a mistake 593 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 3: where they were holding a heart and shine it happens, 594 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 3: it's gonna be basketball. That being said, the referees are 595 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 3: horrible at their job. They really really are. Look, if 596 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 3: they're gonna go ahead and at least, you know, miss calls, 597 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 3: they're missing. 598 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 2: It both ways. So I could at least be happy 599 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 2: about that. 600 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: And I do like the fact consistently horrific. 601 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 3: Well, right, And I do like the fact that they 602 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 3: don't call everything. The last thing we want is a 603 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: free throw shooting contest. But wow, do they miss a 604 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 3: lot of calls or what? 605 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: The kickball is? Just the kickball in game one. 606 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 3: Is double dribble by heart, double dribble from what he 607 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 3: was just as bad. 608 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: What do you watch now? 609 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: What did you possibly see that you think that was 610 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: a double dribble? 611 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 3: I could see you know where maybe he used his 612 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,959 Speaker 3: other hand to dribble and you just missed it. 613 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: It happens, Jason, you missed that. 614 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: You don't want to whistle. 615 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 2: It wasn't even close though it was. 616 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: Somebody gonna pointed him. I mean, it's Rick Carlisle, really 617 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: gonna point him, say that's a double dribble. No, I 618 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: have a hard time believing it now. Carlisle, Yeah, is 619 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: for his situation. We know what he was doing, right, 620 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: and he got fined thirty five grand, but he just 621 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: wanted to get a couple of extra calls in game. 622 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 2: Three, right, absolutely, And so mean he. 623 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: Gets ejected in game two, he kind of goes off 624 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: the deep end in the press conference. They send a 625 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: thousand calls to the league, all of that kind of stuff, 626 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: and then maybe they get a few calls in Game three, 627 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: and maybe they get a few calls in Game four, 628 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: and the officials are a little bit extra tuned to 629 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: try and kind of balance this thing back out, and 630 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: so it's a little bit of game samesmanship. Now. I 631 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: do think that they got hose in game one. I do. 632 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: I think that in Game three the Knicks the Knicks. 633 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that they got hose, but they definitely 634 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: came up on the short end of some calls that 635 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: they were not coming up short on at Madison Square Garden. 636 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that I think watching it, not from 637 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: the official standpoint, I do think the Knicks are the 638 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: better basketball team. I do. I think they are a 639 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: more cohesive, tougher, more physical and again because they're playing 640 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: kind of at the heartbeat of Jalen Brunston, there's something 641 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: different about them. There's a toughness about them that you 642 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: really like. It's kind of similar to what you're seeing 643 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: in Minnesota to some degree, even though it didn't work 644 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: out for him in Game three, when they were playing 645 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: like by the heartbeat of Karl Anthony Towns, there was 646 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: something that didn't feel quite right. But now that you're 647 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: playing with the heartbeat of Anthony Edwards, everything's a little 648 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: bit different for them. I think that's what it is 649 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: like they are They are playing of the pulse of 650 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: a really really competitive, hard nos tough minded and in 651 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: a lot of ways if you listen to him, humble 652 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: to some degree star in Jayalen Brunson, and that's made 653 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: all the difference for them, it has. 654 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, to go to Anthony Edwards, 655 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 3: he's just been phenomenal. It's it's it's just what he's 656 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 3: been able to do. And I mean he's just gonna 657 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 3: get better and better. I know people are comparing him 658 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 3: to Michael Jordan. I would obviously pump the brakes because 659 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 3: part of the comparison is not only the game being 660 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 3: played on the court, but how many championships you won. 661 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 2: He's not won none, so you can't. 662 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 3: Really go to that, and that's that's getting absolutely ridiculous. 663 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,239 Speaker 3: But he has one hell of a player. Brunson's just 664 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 3: been phenomenal. I mean the points he's put up, the 665 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 3: thirty five plus points, forty point games, they're double teaming them, 666 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 3: they're hitting them hard. 667 00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: He's not one hundred percent. 668 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 3: You can see that last game he was really just 669 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: just struggling. 670 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 2: He's missed time. 671 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 3: I mean, they had to take him out of the 672 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: game last game, He's missed his first three shots and 673 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 3: then he hurt his ankle. So how the Knicks were 674 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 3: able to even stay close. I would have bet my 675 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: life on the Pacers in Game three minus seven and 676 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 3: a half, I thought they were gonna win by fifty. 677 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 3: I thought the Knicks were just gonna say, I give up, 678 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 3: We're gonna punt, we're gonna arrest everybody, and we're just 679 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: gonna give you the game. They did not do that 680 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 3: at all. They play with a heart, they play with toughness. 681 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 3: You gotta love the villain over three. As you mentioned Dante, 682 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 3: he's just I mean, except for Steph Curry, how many 683 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 3: better three point shooters are there than him? 684 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: He's just been phenomenal. 685 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: It's just been a great series, and really the Knicks 686 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 3: are the only intriguing team people really. 687 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: Want to see. You know that, don't you? 688 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: People is a plural term. Party. Yes, you are referring 689 00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: to yourself. That's say person, yeah, okay you yes. Now 690 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: look again, this of the I mean those two series, 691 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: the Wolves Nuggets unfortunately hasn't gone down to the wire 692 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: in these games. I think of the of all of 693 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: the series so far this playoffs, that one's been the best. Like, 694 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed that Dix Pacers. I've watched almost every 695 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: dribble of that series and it's just been great, great stuff. 696 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: And I hope that it's gonna go pretty long. I 697 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: know you're hoping that, you know it will not, You're 698 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: hoping it'll be over in five, but I tend to 699 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: think it's gonna go longer than that. But there's definitely 700 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: some gamesmanship going on, and injuries are starting to pile up. Annobe. 701 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: They need him back and they need him to be 702 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: something for them. 703 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to get him back this. 704 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if they are not, but it feels, man, 705 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: he was unreal in that game. They needed all of 706 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: them too, with brunts and missing so much time and 707 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: then finding his way back on the floor, and then 708 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: of course they at once the momentum came and he 709 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: was on the floor in that game. You knew that 710 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: were gonna win that game. Yeah, you know, that was 711 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: easy to see coming. 712 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 3: He's still just so banged up though, you just worry 713 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 3: about him taking a shot getting knocked to the ground. 714 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 3: The Pacers are getting the calls at home. It's home cooking. 715 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 3: That's what you have there for it, just like the 716 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 3: Knick Scott at home. So it'll be I think it's 717 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 3: gonna be a great game for even without Og, they're 718 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 3: gonna have to find a way to win this. I 719 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 3: think Brunson's gonna be okay. He wasn't even listed on 720 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 3: the injury report, so that's good to see. I'm not 721 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 3: so sure that hal Burton's gonna play this game if 722 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 3: it's the bad back. If it's the bad back guy, 723 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 3: I agree with you. If it's the bad back, then 724 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 3: he's not gonna be able to get on the court. 725 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 3: And I don't think he's gonna be able to play. 726 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's. They can't win without him because they 727 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 1: can't score enough because they don't play defense anyway. So 728 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: it's not like they're gonna go out there and hold 729 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: the Knicks to eighty points. Find a way to win. 730 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 1: That's their problem. They have to have him scoring twenty 731 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: five minimum. 732 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: You say they you can't win. Here's a little pet 733 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 2: peeve of mine. 734 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 3: There's how many guys on the team fifteen? What are guys, 735 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 3: he's eleven through. What are you paying the guys eleven 736 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 3: through fifteen to four? What are you paying them a 737 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 3: million or. 738 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 2: Two lines for five million dollars a year? 739 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: Their reactions to big threes in dunks are priceless. 740 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,439 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, seriously, though, way you can't play these guys. 741 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 2: You're paying them. 742 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: You can play them, but are they gonna go in 743 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: and are they gonna go in and shoot eleven for nineteen? 744 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: From the field? 745 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: Bird had fourteen points? 746 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: Did you see that? 747 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 3: He came in at fourteen points? You gotta trust these guys. 748 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 3: They're on the team for a reason, Jason. Look, they 749 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 3: should be able to give you minutes. The Nick players 750 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 3: are just so tired and spent. You can't even put 751 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 3: these guys in for five minutes. What do you what 752 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 3: are you paying them for if you can't play them 753 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 3: for five minutes? 754 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: So when we come back a thought experiment, The Celtics 755 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: are the number one seed in the East. We've talked 756 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: a lot of Knicks. If you had the choice to 757 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 1: take one of the stars of the Celtics or the 758 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: star of the Knicks straight up, and I don't mean 759 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 1: one on one, I mean you could you could have 760 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: one of them. You could trade one side to get 761 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: the other side. Would you do it? We'll discuss when 762 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: we come back.

Do I do something for my wife 769 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 3: or I just let my son take care of all that. 770 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 3: I just I always wonder should get her a card, 771 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 3: get her something?

Jaywen Brunson, Jason Tatum, Jayleen Brown, whatever whoever 792 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: else you want to throw into the mix. Would you 793 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: trade Brunson for Tatum? Would you trade Brunson for Jayleen Brown? 794 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: Would you trade Bruntson for anybody on the top seated Celtics? 795 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 3: Right now, I'll give you three answers to that. No, 796 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:03,320 Speaker 3: I would not Tradealen Brown. Excuse me, Brunson for Tatum. 797 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 3: I'm keeping Brunson. I would not trade Brunson for Jalen Brown. 798 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 3: So I'm still keeping Brunson because that's how much I 799 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 3: love Brunson. And here's the kicker, I'm not even traded 800 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 3: Brunson for both. 801 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown. 802 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: Yes, you can. 803 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 2: You could keep them both. 804 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 3: I'll build around Brunson. You could build around Tatum and Brown. 805 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 3: So I'm not trading him for one, either one or 806 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 3: the other, or even both of them. I'm happy with Brunson. 807 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 3: I like his attitude. I like the way he fits 808 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 3: in with his teammates. You would think you would have 809 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 3: thought the Celtics would have won a championship by now 810 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 3: with those two. It hasn't happened. And they've had good 811 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,399 Speaker 3: coaches out there. They've been through some, but they've had 812 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 3: some good coaching. I just I'm not I'm not making 813 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,279 Speaker 3: a move. Brunson is going to be with me. 814 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: Yeah see, I'm with you, and that's frightening. But completely 815 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: agree with you a million percent. I think you build 816 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: around Brunson too, because again I like I like the 817 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: pulse that he puts on that team, and I like 818 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 1: the competitors and just the edge that comes with the 819 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: physicality and the way that they force the issue. They've 820 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: got guys that believe over there and the c I 821 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: don't know what it is with the Celtics, but it's 822 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: just even though they're the number one seed, they still 823 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 1: it does not feel the edge is not there. 824 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 3: They're not a scary number one seed. Yeah, they're not 825 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 3: a scary number one seed at all. I do not 826 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 3: fear them whatsoever. I think a lot of teams will 827 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 3: love to take a crack at them. To be honest 828 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 3: with you, they'll go ahead and make it to the 829 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,720 Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Finals and probably get by the next because 830 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 3: they'll be well rested and they're deeper and they're healthier. 831 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 3: But I hope that series drags out a little bit longer. 832 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 3: Kind of even things up. 833 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: Would you come closer to trading Brunson for Donovan Mitchell 834 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 1: than either one of those two guys? No, no, no, 835 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: I was just curious. 836 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 2: No, I would. 837 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 3: I would love to have Donovan Mitchell on my team. 838 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 3: But then again, then you're taking away from Brunson. I 839 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 3: know Brunson needs help, and there's talk about getting him 840 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 3: some help, but I don't need somebody take away shots 841 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 3: from him. 842 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 2: Really. 843 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: No, I mean I agree with you, I'm not disagreeing. 844 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: I was just curious if you felt stronger about Mitchell 845 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: than you did the two Celtics players. Yeah, all right, 846 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: we'll come back, we'll reset what happened in the NBA 847 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: on Saturday. We're gonna look a little bit into the 848 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: Lakers coaching search as well, because what in the world 849 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: is happening and it's not gonna be coach Buttonholzer that much. 850 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: We know. We'll come back and chat all about that 851 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio.

They hadn't charge me yet. I 870 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,439 Speaker 3: go as you call them up to make sure they're 871 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 3: going to do it. But hopefully she'll get her flowers. 872 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: You know, well they're good, nice work by you. Thank you. 873 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: Flowers or flowers are usually a crowd pleaser, although not 874 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:36,399 Speaker 1: for my own mother. My own mother can't handle like cents, 875 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: oh so many dollars and cents, I mean smells, so 876 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: flowers would not be a good thing for her. 877 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 2: No. 878 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 3: No, that's when you do the brunch thing. That's when 879 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 3: brunches on the schedule or something like that. 880 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, something something to that, something to that effect. Yes, 881 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: I would agree with you. So we talked a lot 882 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: about uh. We talked about the Celtics and the Calves 883 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: a bit, not necessarily about the Calves and specifics, more 884 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: the Boston side of things. We didn't talk much about 885 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: the early game. It's a good one. Maverick's kind of 886 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: in control and then we're able to hit the big 887 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: shot with Kyrie with a hand in his face to 888 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: take the series lead to one on the Oklahoma City. 889 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 2: Are people into the playoffs? 890 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 3: Are are people into the NBA playoffs because we don't 891 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 3: have the Lakers, really the only big market. We have 892 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 3: other New York Dicks, we have the Oklahoma City. We 893 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 3: got Minnesota. Minnesota is a fun and exciting team, but 894 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 3: it's Minnesota. I mean, people are just realizing they have 895 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 3: a team right now. Are people getting into it? Or 896 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 3: because we don't have the big names. There's no Golden 897 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 3: State out there. There's no Steph Curry, there's nothing like that, 898 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 3: you know, but. 899 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 1: We do have Draymond Green calling your Nicks a fluke 900 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: on his podcast. That's States because they're in the East 901 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: and they're beating a bunch of mid teams. 902 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 3: Well, he was losing a viewers or listeners, so he 903 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 3: had to go ahead and say something stupid, to go 904 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 3: ahead and get them to come on back or something. 905 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 2: And no, it's it's ridiculous. 906 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 3: I saw him say stuff like that, and let him 907 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 3: go ahead and stir it up. 908 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 1: But he couldn't. 909 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 2: He couldn't be more wrong about what he was saying. 910 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you better stir it up on the podcast 911 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: because you're not stirring it up on a basketball court. 912 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 2: I saw that they were looking to trade him. 913 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if that was a bad rumor or what, 914 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 3: but they were gonna do everything in the offseason to 915 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 3: go ahead and move him. 916 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what what benefit he brings 917 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 1: you at this point. I mean, he has done a 918 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: lot of good things for your franchise, don't get me wrong, right, 919 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,320 Speaker 1: but at this point, what's the plus minus ratio and 920 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: positive to negative ratio and what you're getting out of 921 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: Draymond Green in the twenty twenty four to twenty five season. 922 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: I would say that's gonna be way in the negative. 923 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 1: And if they get rid of try to get out 924 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: from underneath that. I would have but I would have 925 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: done that last year. I wouldn't have had him back 926 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: this year. 927 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 3: So always better to get rid of somebody a year 928 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 3: earlyer than a year late. That's do we get the 929 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,400 Speaker 3: Patriot way? If they get rid of Draymond Green, does 930 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 3: that mean they want to keep a Clay or maybe 931 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 3: they're gonna get rid of him both? 932 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 2: And I think they're worth both of them. 933 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: I think I think the only one that really Yeah, 934 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: and he's still phenomenal, so you still keep him, and 935 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: I think you Clay's best days or behind him hadn't 936 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,880 Speaker 1: been the same since he came back from the injury, 937 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 1: but he obviously he has given you still some spark 938 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: from time to time after that. But I think most 939 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: people think maybe not. But the going feeling I guess 940 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: is he's gonna end up playing for the Lakers to 941 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: finish his career where his dad played and where. 942 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,760 Speaker 3: His dad's you're talking about Clay, Well, I know Orlando 943 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 3: was going to offer him the Moon, so maybe he'll 944 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,080 Speaker 3: end up there. Maybe he'll go ahead and chase the 945 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 3: money and do something like that. My question is, if 946 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 3: you're a guy that can force a trade like well, 947 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 3: not like Kevin Duramt, but maybe a Donovan Mitchell or 948 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 3: something like that, would you rather go to the Lakers 949 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 3: and play with Lebron or would you rather go to 950 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 3: Golden State and play with Steph? 951 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 2: Those are your choices. 952 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 1: I would probably say Golden State. And it's not even 953 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: necessarily just a Lebron versus Steph thing, right, I think 954 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: it's a I would rather go play for Steve Kerr 955 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,399 Speaker 1: than whatever unnamed basketball coach is gonna be in LA, 956 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: And I trust the way that that team seems to 957 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: build itself more so than I do LA right now, 958 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: And if you're a guy like Mitchell, for example, You've 959 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: still got several years left in the league. 960 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 3: Well, Kevin Durant and force of his way, I don't 961 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 3: know if anybody. I don't think he'd ever go back 962 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 3: to Golden State. I don't think that's a possibility. 963 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: No. 964 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 2: They always talk about. 965 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,919 Speaker 3: Devin Booker, but I don't think Booker will be wants 966 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 3: leave Phoenix. 967 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah he may not. I yeah, Durant would can go 968 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 1: back to Golden State. I agree with you on that. 969 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,879 Speaker 1: I do. I'm still expecting Durant somewhere else, but maybe 970 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: Budenholzer keeps him there. I don't know. I would say 971 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,920 Speaker 1: if I were Durant, I would probably go with the 972 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 1: Lakers because he is also in a spot where he's 973 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: played a ton of minutes and he's been in the 974 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: league forever, and if he's gonna win another win, he's 975 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: gonna win it right now. He's gonna win it over 976 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 1: the next couple of years. Lebron's not gonna be there 977 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: in three years. Davis, whatever's left of Anthony Davis, you're 978 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 1: getting the best of that right now. So you go 979 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: there right now and you go try to win next year. 980 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,440 Speaker 1: That's that's kind of to me. That's about it. 981 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 3: I think that's a great fit for the Lakers if 982 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 3: they get Kevin Durant, and I don't know what it 983 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 3: would cost them to again, it would. 984 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 1: Cost them either, we would cost them a lot. 985 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 2: Who knows. 986 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 3: Who knows nowadays, maybe they just want to get rid 987 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 3: of that salary. But if you have to take some 988 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 3: in return, so it really doesn't make much of a difference. 989 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 2: I don't know how they would work it out. 990 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: I don't either. I'm just saying just from if I 991 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: were Kevin Durant, that's probably the kind of team I 992 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: would look for. I'm not looking for a team that 993 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 1: over the next handful of years has a bunch of 994 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,440 Speaker 1: draft picks and they're gonna be able to build around 995 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: me and all this, because I know that you can't 996 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: build around me five years from now. I need to 997 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,680 Speaker 1: be a key contributor on a team that is ready 998 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 1: to win right now, not a team that is on 999 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: the come up. 1000 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 3: Put him on the Lakers, and all of a sudden, 1001 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,719 Speaker 3: they're championship caliber with him, Lebron and AD no doubt 1002 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 3: about that. 1003 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 2: That's for sure. 1004 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would, I would say that's true now and 1005 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: then you wonder if you have those guys, do you 1006 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,720 Speaker 1: have the situation Golden State had at one point where 1007 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,839 Speaker 1: a lot of really talented dudes are willing to take 1008 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 1: the league minimum to come in and try to win 1009 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,879 Speaker 1: a championship. You saw that happen in Golden State, where 1010 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 1: they were able to get guys that you would have 1011 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,720 Speaker 1: never expected to take a deal to go to Golden 1012 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,919 Speaker 1: State to play for that little money just to win, 1013 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 1: like a David West or somebody like that. They would 1014 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,560 Speaker 1: just pop in and play for like two million dollars 1015 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: or whatever the league minimum is, just because you know 1016 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 1: they might end up with a ring. 1017 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna take something like that. 1018 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 3: Maybe they were willing to take a little bit less. 1019 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 3: But anybody with any talent out there is not going 1020 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 3: to be playing for hope not yeah from two million 1021 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 3: dollars a year, So that's not going to happen. 1022 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 2: They maybe somebody. 1023 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 3: At the end of their career, but even then you're 1024 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 3: gonna get more money than that. 1025 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,759 Speaker 2: So I don't see that happening, you know. 1026 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: So we're talking about guys towards the end of their career. 1027 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 1: Let's go talk about Minnesota and Denver here just a 1028 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 1: little bit. So Denver's the defending champion. Jokic has now 1029 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,799 Speaker 1: won his third MVP, much to Shaquille O'Neil's chagrin as 1030 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,800 Speaker 1: that I knew that was like as soon as that happened, 1031 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: I was watching that live, Arnie, and I thought, this 1032 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 1: is why you can't lose inside the NBA. This is 1033 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 1: why TNT losing that show would be so catastrophic, because 1034 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: this just doesn't happen anywhere else, right, And I heard 1035 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: what Shannon Sharp said about how Shaq is jealous of 1036 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,479 Speaker 1: Da Kola Jokic and all this, because if you didn't 1037 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: see it, Shaq was upset and he said he believed 1038 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,919 Speaker 1: that Shakkil, just Alexander should have been the MVP. Right, 1039 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: And if you understand Shaquille O'Neill's perspective dating back to 1040 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 1: the time when he was playing, you would know that 1041 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: what Shannon Sharp is saying is nonsense. Now, maybe he 1042 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: is jealous, but it's not shown through this. 1043 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 3: It's funny you what you're okay with Shaquille O'Neil's saying 1044 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,399 Speaker 3: something like that to Jokic in an interview, But if 1045 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 3: you said it, you'd be ridiculed. 1046 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,320 Speaker 2: You know that, don't you, of course? 1047 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: But I'm not Shaquille O'Neil. 1048 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,719 Speaker 2: No, but you would be destroyed in the media, they'd say. 1049 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 3: Jason Martin Fox Sports Radio had the nerve to say 1050 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 3: to Jolkic he didn't think he was the MVP. 1051 00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,919 Speaker 2: Well, what'd you have mine? We we would be roasting you. 1052 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: Well here's yeah, that's true. But here's the thing, right, 1053 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: So they have the discussion where they reveal who won 1054 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 1: it Barkley. Barkley gets the honors, and so he opens 1055 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,840 Speaker 1: the car and he says, here's Nicole Jokic winning his 1056 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,200 Speaker 1: third MVP, And immediately or he says, Shaquille and Neil 1057 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:31,840 Speaker 1: your thoughts because he's going to ask all three of 1058 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: them their thoughts, right, And he goes to Shaq, and 1059 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: Shaq says, I won't be the first one to say 1060 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 1: I would have given it to SGA. I think he 1061 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 1: deserved it because I've been on that's fair end up 1062 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: being second and all this kind of stuff. So he 1063 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: does this, and they don't really have time to get 1064 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: to Kenny, but they talk a little bit to Barkman, 1065 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,799 Speaker 1: not a lot, because they've got Yolkic coming on the air, right, 1066 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: so he comes on. They don't even go to commercial break. 1067 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 1: They go right to Jokic and Shaq immediately says, hey, 1068 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 1: I want you to hear it from me first. All like, 1069 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 1: no disrespect, but I think that shake Gilgas Alexander should 1070 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 1: have been the MVP. And I'm thinking to myself, like, 1071 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: there's no problem here. He's not trying to stir anything up. 1072 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 1: He's basically he just spo He just spent time on 1073 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,080 Speaker 1: the air saying I would have gone with the other. 1074 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:16,799 Speaker 2: You have to start. 1075 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: So he wants to go ahead and say, hey, this 1076 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: is what I just said before you hear it come 1077 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:22,479 Speaker 1: from somebody else. 1078 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 2: Does he have to start with that? 1079 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,080 Speaker 3: Katie just said, hey, congratulations, he did say that. Okay, 1080 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 3: you don't have to write off the bad you know, 1081 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,800 Speaker 3: jump down the guy's don't say I don't think he 1082 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 3: deserved it though, you know what I mean, I give 1083 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:33,959 Speaker 3: it to somebody else. 1084 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: Well, it's not like he didn't deserve it. He just 1085 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 1: felt like Gildas Alexander had had the season where he 1086 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: deserved it, not that Jokic had not done you know 1087 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 1: that he wasn't a deserving guy. He's like, you're outstanding 1088 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: and he gave him the props and he was just like, 1089 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 1: I want you to hear this from me because I 1090 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: just said it. And I was think, it's fine. But 1091 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: again back to what Shannon Sharp said, which was just wrong. 1092 00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: I remember watching this show and I actually have it. 1093 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: I have it, guys. I have a digital file of 1094 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: it now because I liked it so much. I went 1095 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 1: and found it. At the time, they did show on 1096 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,279 Speaker 1: NBA TV and maybe they even ran it during an 1097 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,000 Speaker 1: All Star weekend. This was probably eight or nine years 1098 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 1: ago something like that. It was before I even think 1099 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,720 Speaker 1: Shack had taken over a chair on inside the NBA 1100 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: when it was still just Ernie Kenny and Charles, but 1101 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: Shaq was starting to pop around and he had retired 1102 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,680 Speaker 1: a few years prior in all this, so they had 1103 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: all these guys and included like Isaiah Thomas and Dennis 1104 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,399 Speaker 1: Scott and I think Steve Smith and like a lot 1105 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 1: of the guys that you've seen around NBA TV and 1106 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 1: TNT for a long time. And they're all sitting around 1107 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 1: and they're talking about the NBA Fifty, because they had 1108 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: invited the fifty best players in NBA history to the 1109 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: All Star Weekend and they they wore their jackets and 1110 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: all this. Of course Barkway is one of them, and 1111 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: so they're talking to him, and they're talking to Isaiah 1112 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,319 Speaker 1: and all of these things. And then they start discussing 1113 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: who would be the next ten on the list and 1114 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 1: that becomes to the debate for the hour. And so 1115 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 1: they go through a bunch of guys and they list 1116 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: them and they talk about, well, who's on the and 1117 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 1: this is like early in Durant's career, but they're already 1118 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: talking about Durant and they're talking about Dwayne Wade and 1119 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: some of these guys. But they get to Steve Nash. 1120 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: And when they talk about Steve Nash, Shaquille O'Neill goes off, 1121 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 1: He goes insane. He and he point blank says, he's 1122 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 1: just like, you know, that was a nice MVP that 1123 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,360 Speaker 1: they decided to give him. Wow and because he finished 1124 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: second to Steve Nash twice in the MVP voting. And Kenny, 1125 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,279 Speaker 1: I think it's Kenny, then tries to stand up for 1126 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,000 Speaker 1: Steve Nash and he's just man, Nash had these amazing years, 1127 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 1: man data, all this kind of stuff. It's like he 1128 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 1: and Shaquille like he didn't get in his face, but 1129 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,720 Speaker 1: he leans up in his chair and he says something 1130 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: to the effect of over me, ain't no way, like 1131 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,240 Speaker 1: he's furious, he's still upset by this. He is still 1132 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,879 Speaker 1: It's it's like when Jordan had his Hall of Fame 1133 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: speech and couldn't help but go after everybody that has 1134 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,520 Speaker 1: slighted him in any way during his career. We all 1135 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: know how incredible Shaquille O'Neal is, but he cannot take criticism. 1136 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: He's never been able to take that, and he's never 1137 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 1: gotten over being second to Steve Nash twice. If you listen. Yeah, 1138 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: so if you listen to his argument about Jokic, what 1139 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 1: he's saying is and he even says this, He says, 1140 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 1: I was second twice. He's like, I know what it's 1141 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: like to be second when you know you're the best. 1142 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 1: He's like, because then it goes blank slate. Then I 1143 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 1: have to go work all this hard again to get 1144 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: to this spot when I did enough to win it. 1145 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: And he's just like, so, I know what SGA is 1146 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: going through right now, because I think he had an 1147 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: MVP season and he deserved it, but they go with 1148 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 1: another guy, and now he's got to start all over again. Well, 1149 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,240 Speaker 1: you can say he's going back to his own experience. 1150 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 3: Right right, And I understand that you can say the 1151 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,759 Speaker 3: same thing for jokin If he didn't win it, you 1152 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 3: could say, well, you deserved it. You had another MVP 1153 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,280 Speaker 3: type season, but you already have one, which is probably 1154 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 3: the reason why you didn't get it. But he did 1155 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 3: get it. It's an individual award. I don't get too 1156 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 3: you know, bent out of shape about it. Anyway, It's 1157 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 3: it's surprising to see that Shack has held a grudge. 1158 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: All these years still hasn't let it go. 1159 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 2: Wow, I am shocked. 1160 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 3: I mean, I would rather win championships, no doubt about it, 1161 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 3: than win an MVP. 1162 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 2: I think that's probably the. 1163 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 3: Only thing he didn't accomplish in his career, because he 1164 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,879 Speaker 3: won MVP of the playoffs, of the finals, I mean, 1165 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 3: but he never woned of this season. So I think 1166 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 3: that's probably one thing that sticks out with him for 1167 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 3: a long time, you know. 1168 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he hasn't gotten over it. And even 1169 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,760 Speaker 1: as he's discussing the Jokich Sga thing, you can almost 1170 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 1: hear Jokic being replaced by Steve Nash and him replacing 1171 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 1: Sga in the discussion. Like, because I had watched this 1172 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 1: special so many times through the years, because I liked 1173 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,080 Speaker 1: it so much. I knew he was saying because I 1174 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: saw him get very upset with his own colleagues in 1175 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 1: the room just for suggesting that Steve Nash should be 1176 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,799 Speaker 1: a part of a discussion for the ten best of 1177 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: the New Century or whatever that would get added to 1178 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 1: the NBA fifty. 1179 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get Steve Nash on the show and let's 1180 00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 3: see them debate a little bit. That would be That 1181 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 3: would be musty TV. By the way, do you think 1182 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 3: the show's gonna go away? 1183 00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:24,759 Speaker 1: Now? 1184 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 3: What's gonna happen with them if they don't get the 1185 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 3: NBA rights. 1186 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 1: I don't understand what Warner is doing in general, What 1187 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discovery is doing in general. 1188 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,480 Speaker 2: Is aslov like. 1189 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,160 Speaker 1: And I mean in everything that Warner Brothers is touching 1190 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: right now, they seem to be doing things that are 1191 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 1: tanking themselves. I don't really understand, like they're they're undercutting this. 1192 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,840 Speaker 1: They don't want to pay as much, but they still 1193 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,040 Speaker 1: value the NBA product. I saw somebody say, what does 1194 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,760 Speaker 1: anybody watch on TNT outside of the NBA? 1195 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 2: Right? 1196 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: And I mean I know that they they had their 1197 00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 1: shows from time to time, you know, leverage. It's been 1198 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 1: a while, and of course they had some other stuff 1199 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: since then, but a lot of it was kind of 1200 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: held up by being advertised in the NBA. They've got 1201 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 1: Holy Wrestling now, which I does fairly well from a 1202 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: cable standpoint, but even that's kind of flatlined a little bit, 1203 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,799 Speaker 1: and maybe plateaued and marche the last year. Yeah, and 1204 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 1: they've got March Madness, but that's not gonna be theirs 1205 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,359 Speaker 1: forever either. They got high playoffs and sure five people 1206 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:32,480 Speaker 1: are watching that. You what do you want me to say? Like, no, yeah, 1207 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, if they leave, And Barkley even said 1208 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 1: when he says, like, you know, if Inside goes away, 1209 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,879 Speaker 1: if TNT loses it, does that mean you're a free agent? 1210 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,880 Speaker 1: Barkley's first comment was yes. 1211 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, he put it in his contract out if they 1212 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 3: lost the NBA, he would become a free agent. Ernie said, 1213 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 3: I guess this comes from Barkley that Ernie's going to 1214 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 3: stay and continues. 1215 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 2: So I don't know what's gonna happen with you. 1216 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: As long as Ernie's been with Turner, Like dating back 1217 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:03,240 Speaker 1: to Braves, coverage the NBA on TBS and the Atlanta 1218 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 1: Hawks and all of that kind of stuff, Like there's 1219 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,439 Speaker 1: just an Ernie. Ernie's a different guy. I think Ernie. 1220 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 1: I think Ernie's just I don't even Ernie somewhere else 1221 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: would even feel right, Like that would be real strange 1222 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 1: to watch. 1223 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 3: I don't know what they would do though, Yeah, well 1224 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,360 Speaker 3: what they said they could do the same thing, could they. 1225 00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna watch them if they don't have the games. 1226 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: No, I agree, But I mean he also loves baseball, 1227 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 1: and they've got their baseball package and they've got some 1228 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: other things he could get. They'd find a way to get. 1229 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: You find a way to get that guy as involved 1230 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,480 Speaker 1: as he wants to be, exactly because there's nobody better 1231 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,200 Speaker 1: than Ernie Johnson. But I don't think that Barkley and 1232 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: those guys are anywhere near as good without Ernie being 1233 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: that guy that kind of plays the referee in the 1234 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: middle and the one that keeps everything moving. A lot 1235 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,600 Speaker 1: of times we forget how important that guy can be. Uh, 1236 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 1: and Ernie has been all time great at it for 1237 00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 1: a long time. When we come back, we're gonna talk 1238 00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 1: about this Lakers coaching thing. Yeah, who's taking this job. 1239 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,720 Speaker 1: We've got some odds so we can give you those 1240 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:15,200 Speaker 1: who should want this job. And do you look at 1241 00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,480 Speaker 1: this and say, are you even gonna do better than 1242 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,200 Speaker 1: what you just had if you're about to bring in 1243 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,320 Speaker 1: somebody with no coaching experience. We'll talk about all of 1244 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,360 Speaker 1: that when we come back.

You just rate the feed, okay. 1263 00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: Which is good for us because I mean if we 1264 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 1: were just like we're not just at your mercy like 1265 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: there's there are other people that are associated with it 1266 00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:26,919 Speaker 1: as well. 1267 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 2: Gotcha. 1268 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, So Anonobi out for Game four, Game five, h 1269 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:35,840 Speaker 1: not looking good either there, Arenie. 1270 00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna come back to the rest 1271 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 3: of the series. I mean, when you have an injury 1272 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 3: like that, the hamstring, it's uh, it's something that's probably 1273 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,760 Speaker 3: gonna take your weeks to go ahead and get over 1274 00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 3: something like that. Hopefully he could come back for the 1275 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 3: Boston Series if the Knicks make it that far. 1276 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:51,640 Speaker 2: When the Knicks make it that far. 1277 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 3: But that's that's a huge loss for the Knicks and 1278 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 3: Julius Randall boy, we could use him right now, how 1279 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 3: about that? 1280 00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:57,440 Speaker 2: Huh? 1281 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that would probably help. Maybe you could get Charles Oakley. 1282 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not allowed. He's not coming back. 1283 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 1: Though, No, he's not. And so he had come out 1284 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,040 Speaker 1: and said, you know, I guess they want me back, 1285 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 1: but they're gonna have Adulte's gonna have to apologize first 1286 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,960 Speaker 1: because they've shown a lot of Stefan Marbury at MSG. 1287 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 1: You saw a lot of Marbury there on the baseline. 1288 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,160 Speaker 1: The trishprete Well has been there as well. 1289 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 2: Starks. 1290 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Starks has been there. And so Oakley said this, 1291 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 1: and then the Knicks, like MSG spokesperson came out and said, 1292 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 1: now what oak was saying is not true. He was 1293 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 1: not invited back. 1294 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,920 Speaker 3: Wow, So they still they always hold the grudge. Also, 1295 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 3: do they pay for those seats or they give them 1296 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:37,800 Speaker 3: away for free? Yeah? 1297 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1298 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 2: I don't you know, I get the field. 1299 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 3: I don't think John Starks is paying twenty five thousand 1300 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,440 Speaker 3: or how much are those He's like one hundred thousand 1301 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 3: or something with. 1302 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 1: What with what Starks did for the Knicks. And I 1303 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 1: say this to somebody that'd absolutely hated him when he played, 1304 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 1: which is why I know he was good, right like, 1305 01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 1: because he irritated me because of how good he was, 1306 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,280 Speaker 1: how clutch he was, and just how like he was 1307 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 1: a guy that definitely could needle you, for sure, But 1308 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: a lot of guys did. I mean, Reggie was that guy. 1309 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,440 Speaker 1: And then of course you had multiple dudes for the 1310 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: heat and all this. But John Starks was so good 1311 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 1: for the Knicks right, he should never pay for anything 1312 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 1: in but I see him. His story is unreal like that. 1313 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 1: There should be like documentaries about John Starks and how 1314 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: he ended up in the NBA, don't. 1315 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 3: I don't see him because he didn't make as much 1316 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 3: money as the modern day guys. I can't see him 1317 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 3: forking over one hundred or two hundred thousand dollars for 1318 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 3: a front row seat like that. 1319 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,800 Speaker 1: You know, No, I mean I hope he didn't pay 1320 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: a cent. No, I'm sure, I hope they just put 1321 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 1: him in the building. Like I feel like, it's good 1322 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 1: karma if you have that guy in the building. 1323 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 2: I'm sure they did. I'm sure. 1324 01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure they gave it to him for free. Like 1325 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 3: I said, those guys can't afford to becoming the game 1326 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 3: after gaming and paying that. Now, Spike Lee's a different story. 1327 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 3: He pays for Yeah, he pays for his tickets, no 1328 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 3: doubt about that. 1329 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how they helped pay other salaries on 1330 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 1: that team, is through what he pays. I'm not saying 1331 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 1: he's like, I'm not suggesting it's like anil here. I'm 1332 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, he's he spends a lot of 1333 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: money on that organization. I'd actually be curious if they 1334 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:12,520 Speaker 1: do actually comp him some seats at this point. 1335 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 2: Who's Spike. 1336 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, if he's actually paying everything, he's paid it. 1337 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 2: I don't think he gets wrong with Dolan. 1338 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 3: I've heard him tell some stories about that. Yeah, I 1339 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 3: don't think he gets wrong with Dolan at all. 1340 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 1: So odds you sent this to me. Odds for the 1341 01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 1: next Lakers head coaches from bet online. Okay, Kenny Atkinson 1342 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:37,440 Speaker 1: is plus one hundred. 1343 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,760 Speaker 2: He's the assistant up in Golden State. 1344 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was. He was the one with. 1345 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, assistant, he was a head coach, hasn't been head 1346 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:49,919 Speaker 3: coaching four years though. 1347 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 1: He was the one that they had to and you know, 1348 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,760 Speaker 1: jettison out of there to get Steve nash in. Much 1349 01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 1: to Quille O'Neil's chagrine, JJ Reddick plus one fifty. 1350 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 2: Second favorite to go ahead and get it. It's truly Bobby. 1351 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: He's moving up. 1352 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:07,960 Speaker 2: Quickly up the ranks there. 1353 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 1: And I wonder I said this last week already with 1354 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:20,400 Speaker 1: no disrespect intended towards JJ Reddick here. Yeah, why And 1355 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean I know why, Like at least I feel 1356 01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: like I know why because I read an article with 1357 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 1: The Athletic about a month ago that was just drooling 1358 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,480 Speaker 1: over this brand new podcast that's taken the world by 1359 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:37,800 Speaker 1: storm with Lebron James and JJ Reddick breaking down basketball 1360 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 1: the way Peyton Manning and Eli Kobe Bryant did. Ok 1361 01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:48,120 Speaker 1: fre ESPN The Detail Show and just odd like listening 1362 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: to these guys break this place down and all this 1363 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and it's just like, oh, okay, so 1364 01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,200 Speaker 1: him and Lebron are tight. They're doing this podcast together. 1365 01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Of course he's near the top of the list exactly. 1366 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 3: I mean, that's again, it's what is going to appease Lebron, 1367 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,600 Speaker 3: and that's going to peace Lebron. Even the third favorites 1368 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 3: Tyron Lou So you know, it's it's what you know, 1369 01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 3: how can we make you happy, Lebron. That's what's going 1370 01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 3: on here. I didn't know the Lakers were a starter job. 1371 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 3: So if JJ Reddick gets the job, well he just 1372 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 3: starter homes. And I just didn't know that the La 1373 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 3: Lakers were a starter job nowadays for somebody like JJ Reddick, 1374 01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 3: not that he can't do a good job, but if 1375 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 3: they hired JJ Reddick, that means they really made Lebron 1376 01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 3: thatad coach. 1377 01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look, nobody knew Steve Kerr was going 1378 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: to be that good, right, No one? I mean, and 1379 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean this goes down the list. I mean, sel 1380 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: Jacks coach in their first job. You never know that 1381 01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 1: they're going to be what they turn out to be. 1382 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:48,160 Speaker 1: Greg Popovich, Bill Belichick was bad early in his career. 1383 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a lot of rest. 1384 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 2: Easy on Popovich, Please easy on that. That's a sore 1385 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 2: subject with me. 1386 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 1: Why is that a sore subject with you? 1387 01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,640 Speaker 2: Well, notice how he didn't win. 1388 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:00,200 Speaker 3: He was wasn't the coach, and then he said, oh 1389 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 3: we're getting Duncan and Robinson, I'm gonna come back. 1390 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to coach. And then all of a sudden 1391 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 2: he started to win again. 1392 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,959 Speaker 1: So he's actually but he actually stuck there after Kawhi left. 1393 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: He's been there through these lean years and now he's 1394 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,240 Speaker 1: got the rookie of the Year on his team. It's 1395 01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 1: kind of come back full circle for him. But you're right, yeah, 1396 01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:23,280 Speaker 1: that's true. You know, so could Redick be a good coach? 1397 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,240 Speaker 1: I mean he was also like way up in the 1398 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,479 Speaker 1: running for the Charlotte job. You know, of course played 1399 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 1: at Duke and everything else. It didn't end up getting it. 1400 01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,920 Speaker 1: But so maybe he is a name. I'm not suggesting 1401 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 1: he couldn't coach, it's just the fact that he would 1402 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 1: be that high on the list for the Lakers didn't. 1403 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just get finished with a guy that had 1404 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,520 Speaker 1: no head coaching experience, that was a player in the 1405 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,240 Speaker 1: league and it didn't work. This guy's not even been 1406 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 1: on a bench like this is straight out of the booth. 1407 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 1: We've got to hire this guy, or not really even 1408 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: to the booth, just the podcast scene and the first 1409 01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:58,320 Speaker 1: take desk. 1410 01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 3: Well, as you said, in case people don't know, he 1411 01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 3: does a podcast with Lebron, so him and Lebron are 1412 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 3: very close. 1413 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,920 Speaker 2: Obviously Lebron likes him. That's the narrative. 1414 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 3: Lebron is pushing to get JJ Reddick obviously and telling 1415 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 3: Genie bust that's who he wants. Genie is probably gonna 1416 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,600 Speaker 3: have to decide. It's probably gonna have to be jj Reddick. 1417 01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 3: I don't see any other choice around it. She's got 1418 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 3: to appease Lebron and that's the only way to do 1419 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:21,840 Speaker 3: it right now. 1420 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 1: Other names David Adelman, Chris Quinn, Phil Handy, Sam Cassell 1421 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 1: at plus twenty two hundred. Terry Stotts plus twenty five hundred. 1422 01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 1: It's been like, Dan Tony, can we please stop? Plus 1423 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: thirty three hundred. Canadan, Yeah, exactly. Mark Jackson plus thirty 1424 01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 1: three hundred. 1425 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 2: Why hasn't he gotten the job again? 1426 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,720 Speaker 1: That's a good question. Dave Jeger also plus thirty three hundred. 1427 01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:51,480 Speaker 1: Jerry Stackows fresh off and absolute disaster at Vanderbilt. I 1428 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,240 Speaker 1: just couldn't have gone worse. I live in Nashville. I 1429 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: talk to people that are close to that program even now, 1430 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 1: who know the ins and out, and they basically like 1431 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 1: the stuff that they said about stack House. He's definitely 1432 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 1: more built for the NBA because he had no interest 1433 01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: in recruiting, right, had no interest whatsoever in doing the 1434 01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,520 Speaker 1: work that goes into being a college basketball coach. But 1435 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,720 Speaker 1: he was good in the G League. So Stackhouse's name, 1436 01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:23,400 Speaker 1: and then Adrian Griffin fresh off getting fired because apparently 1437 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: if you if you coach for the Bucks and you 1438 01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 1: got fired, then they might be interested in talking to you. 1439 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,160 Speaker 3: And then I think Jawan Howard's after that. It cuts 1440 01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 3: off after that, but Jawan Howard's after that, and I mean, geez, 1441 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:34,680 Speaker 3: how many candidates could there be. It seems like you 1442 01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,640 Speaker 3: have fifty out there. I think I'm gonna have to 1443 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 3: go with JJ Reddick if that's what Lebron wants. Now, 1444 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 3: if Lebron says, okay, I'm open to some other people, 1445 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 3: I gotta feeling Tyron Loom may get the job to do. 1446 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if Lou, unless Lou tells him to stick 1447 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 1: it because of how it went last time, would just 1448 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 1: find a way to make sure that he was happy. Now, 1449 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not saying he would. I mean 1450 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: he played for that organization. Of course, some one championships there, 1451 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:04,000 Speaker 1: so I mean he has love for them, but the 1452 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 1: way that that went last time out for him not 1453 01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 1: end it up but sticking around and all that, like, 1454 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,280 Speaker 1: maybe he would. Maybe there is some some mill will there. 1455 01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 1: But in terms of yeah, you look at the list, 1456 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 1: absolutely ty lewis the guy like, if you have the opportunity, 1457 01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 1: that's that's there's your answer. I don't I don't think 1458 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,960 Speaker 1: there's any question about that. Does he want it? And 1459 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 1: how many of these guys do want it that are 1460 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,479 Speaker 1: on this list? These guys are are the betting favorites, 1461 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 1: But are all these guys gonna take it? 1462 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 3: The stress that comes with that job. It's you know, 1463 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:38,040 Speaker 3: you're gonna get the blame. Of course you're gonna get 1464 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 3: the blame, and you're not gonna get the credit. If 1465 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 3: it goes well, it's because of we know who. If 1466 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,000 Speaker 3: it goes poorly, it's definitely not because of him, And 1467 01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:47,760 Speaker 3: it's all because of you. And you're gonna be paid 1468 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,639 Speaker 3: a little bit less than the other head coaches out there. 1469 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,680 Speaker 3: Gd Buzz doesn't have the most money. She's not one 1470 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,679 Speaker 3: of the richer owners in the NBA. 1471 01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's there's some problems there.

Yeah, the Angels and Royals. 1479 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,040 Speaker 6: That was the last game, although that game had been 1480 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 6: over for a while in all but a formality, as 1481 01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 6: they do win it ninety three against the Kansas City Royal. 1482 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:20,840 Speaker 6: So that was the last of all the sports action 1483 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,559 Speaker 6: that was taking place in in North America. Tonight Athletics 1484 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,360 Speaker 6: and Mariners. That was the other late game that has 1485 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:29,120 Speaker 6: gone final. Again not a not a close game at all, 1486 01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 6: so this game was all but over early. Athletics beat 1487 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 6: the Mariners eight to one, Dodgers shout out the Padres five. 1488 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 6: Nothing but the big games of the day NBA, NHL Playoffs. 1489 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 6: First in the NBA, the Celtics tik a two to 1490 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,920 Speaker 6: one lead in their series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning 1491 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 6: it by a final score of one to six two 1492 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 6: ninety three. It was a team effort for Boston. Jason 1493 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,599 Speaker 6: Tatum had thirty three points, Jalen Brown had twenty eight, 1494 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 6: Drew Holliday at eighteen, Derek White had twelve. But for 1495 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:58,799 Speaker 6: the Cavaliers it was the opposite. It was just Donovan 1496 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:03,840 Speaker 6: Mitchell in Evan Mobley who did most of the work 1497 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,840 Speaker 6: for Cleveland. Donovan Mitchell had thirty three points twelve to 1498 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:08,880 Speaker 6: twenty two shooting seven to twelve from beyond the three 1499 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,719 Speaker 6: point line. Mobley had seventeen points on seven to eleven shooting. 1500 01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,280 Speaker 6: We had Darius Garland come on strong a little bit 1501 01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 6: late to end up with fifteen points, but it was 1502 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 6: too little, too late, as the Celtics to have a 1503 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,679 Speaker 6: two to one as series lead Mavericks over the Thunder 1504 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:25,719 Speaker 6: one oh five to one oh one. In Game three 1505 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 6: of that series, it was the Big three to four, 1506 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 6: Dallas getting it done a combined seventy one points by PJ. Washington, 1507 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 6: Kyrie Irving, and Luka Doncic. Mavericks had in this series 1508 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 6: two games to one. Shake guild Just Alexander, though gave 1509 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,919 Speaker 6: his best effort, coming up just short thirty one points, 1510 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,040 Speaker 6: ten rebounds, six assists, also had himself five blocks, which 1511 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 6: is the second most by a point guard in a 1512 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 6: single game in NBA history. Fred Van Vliet the only 1513 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 6: guy who had six. He had it back on January 1514 01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 6: the twenty fourth, but otherwise, Shake gil Just Alexander tied 1515 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:00,799 Speaker 6: with a few other guys for the second most blocks 1516 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 6: by point guard in an NBA game.

It was 1520 01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,760 Speaker 6: one nothing in the first, two to one after the 1521 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 6: second period, and then the Dallas Stars piling it on 1522 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,240 Speaker 6: to the third to win it by three goals. The 1523 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 6: Hurricane standing off elimination against the New York Rangers. As 1524 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,920 Speaker 6: Carolina wins it for to three.

By this point. We were going 1532 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,160 Speaker 1: to talk about them, we got derailed, as often happens 1533 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: when you start talking about the NBA, that's where you 1534 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,599 Speaker 1: end up going into the Lakers.

Yeah, just just a 1542 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,880 Speaker 1: question for you, are Yeah when you say if you've 1543 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: ever wanted to get a raise? Yeah, is there any 1544 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,320 Speaker 1: point in time that you know, which any human being 1545 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,120 Speaker 1: that is paid for a living would not want a raise. Well, 1546 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,000 Speaker 1: now's a good time because he's in a good mood. 1547 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:28,800 Speaker 2: I can tell you that. 1548 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure because it's been so long since any of 1549 01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 3: his teams have gotten out of the first round. 1550 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 2: It must have been a horrible run. 1551 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,840 Speaker 3: I mean, he's that's why he's always been, you know, 1552 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 3: yelling at me all the time. 1553 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,240 Speaker 2: But that's beside the point. He has to be just 1554 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,160 Speaker 2: happy as could be because of what's going on. You know. 1555 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 1: Well, now that you've talked, I think we need to 1556 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,000 Speaker 1: go to break.

Who cares, 1601 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,559 Speaker 8: it's malpractice, right right? Everyone is interested in watching this 1602 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,360 Speaker 8: one person do something right to see, even if it's curiosity, 1603 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,240 Speaker 8: even if they want to see her fail. Everybody wants 1604 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,479 Speaker 8: to watch this one person do this thing on a 1605 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 8: basketball floor. 1606 01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:25,800 Speaker 1: I joined Lee. 1607 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 3: Means nothing right without her, and you want to build 1608 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 3: from that, right right. I'm just gonna say I didn't. 1609 01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 3: I didn't obviously couldn't find the game, so I went 1610 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,040 Speaker 3: out of my way to get my phone look up 1611 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,680 Speaker 3: to see how many points she had. And I was 1612 01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,640 Speaker 3: telling my wife a couple of weeks ago, when this 1613 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 3: whole draft thing came down, I go, I want to 1614 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,639 Speaker 3: buy an Indiana Fever t shirt, and I was going 1615 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 3: through they were all very expensive, but I was going 1616 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,679 Speaker 3: through it and wan the fine one.

I was expecting more out of her, 1619 01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 3: to be honest with you, than the twelve points. 1620 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:04,719 Speaker 2: So we'll see how the season goes. 1621 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 1: I mean, her first preseason game, she had like I 1622 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:09,840 Speaker 1: don't know if it was something like twenty one or something. 1623 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:10,719 Speaker 1: It was pretty decent. 1624 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:11,719 Speaker 2: Uh. 1625 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,479 Speaker 1: And I know that because the night she played, I 1626 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 1: actually went out of my way five or six times 1627 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 1: to look at the box score. Didn't watch the game, 1628 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,719 Speaker 1: but I've watched how she was doing because I was curious. 1629 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 2: I was driving the Connecticut one. 1630 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,880 Speaker 3: I was thinking of driving the Connecticut to see her 1631 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,600 Speaker 3: play the Sun. But the ticket prices are are like 1632 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:29,559 Speaker 3: two fifty or something like that, you know. 1633 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,840 Speaker 1: And I actually did look at some jerseys, maybe pick 1634 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,879 Speaker 1: one up for the kids for Christmas, right my daughter's, 1635 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,320 Speaker 1: but they you know, and i'd be even my wife 1636 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,679 Speaker 1: made a good point, she said, you know the problem 1637 01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,640 Speaker 1: is they'll grow out of them right now, right And 1638 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 1: she's probably I mean, she's not. She's certainly right about 1639 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 1: that children do grow. That's not a subjective point, that's 1640 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:55,439 Speaker 1: that's a fact. But I've never even considered that before, Ronie. 1641 01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 1: I've never considered looking a box score for the WNBA. 1642 01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 2: No, not at all. 1643 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,960 Speaker 1: All this kind of stuff you can hate on Caitlin Clark, 1644 01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 1: this Kaitlin Clark, that all you want, but you can't 1645 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:08,120 Speaker 1: deny that it moves the needle. And if that's your league, 1646 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 1: if you're in charge of that league, if that is 1647 01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,040 Speaker 1: your account, and you can't find a way to make 1648 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,600 Speaker 1: make it so people can watch that for free, to 1649 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,879 Speaker 1: help your league grow so that you can then hopefully 1650 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,080 Speaker 1: introduce them to other stars and other names and other 1651 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 1: things that you want to do, then I don't think 1652 01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,840 Speaker 1: you should have that job. Right. You have to find 1653 01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:34,960 Speaker 1: a way to make that game available there. She had 1654 01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:36,360 Speaker 1: no other way to play, I understand. 1655 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 3: But the first thing I tell everybody else in the WNBA, 1656 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,600 Speaker 3: the first person that keeps saying why does she have 1657 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 3: a shoe deal? And the other people that have been 1658 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:47,400 Speaker 3: in the w NBA before her growing the thing the 1659 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:49,400 Speaker 3: league doesn't have a shoe deal. I don't want to 1660 01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,720 Speaker 3: hear that Bloni, even though one of the girls, what 1661 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,040 Speaker 3: was Wilson, I believe got a shoe deal. 1662 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 2: I forget who was. They've been working on that for. 1663 01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,320 Speaker 1: The other deal that came this week too, I mean 1664 01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 1: the right that other deals that I've noticed. 1665 01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 3: Yeah so, but I mean, I don't want to hear 1666 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:07,040 Speaker 3: that stuff because it really it's not about the popularity 1667 01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 3: of the WNBA. 1668 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,639 Speaker 2: It's about the popularity of Caitlin Clark. 1669 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:14,559 Speaker 3: That's why they're getting all these extra viewerships and people 1670 01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,200 Speaker 3: going to the game, and they better embrace it. I 1671 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,000 Speaker 3: can't believe people are actually negative on her because of 1672 01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:21,360 Speaker 3: all the stuff that she's bringing in. 1673 01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: You know, I knew it was going to happen. I 1674 01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,800 Speaker 1: predicted this in advance, and I'm not no stradomis a 1675 01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: lot of people I would imagine felt the exact same 1676 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 1: way I did. I knew the worm would turn, and 1677 01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be other players, and it's 1678 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 1: gonna be people in the media. There's gonna be there's 1679 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a narrative surrounding this, and you've already started 1680 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:41,640 Speaker 1: to see it emerge a little bit. But if you 1681 01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,760 Speaker 1: are actually in the front office of the WNBA. If 1682 01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,759 Speaker 1: you're trying to grow that league, there is no excuse 1683 01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 1: why every dribble she takes is not available to as 1684 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 1: many people as humanly possible. Even if you can't get 1685 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 1: it on a television network that night, which I write right, 1686 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, right, you can certainly streaming on your 1687 01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,639 Speaker 1: own website, like you can find a way to get 1688 01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:05,680 Speaker 1: that done. I don't care even if it costs you 1689 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 1: money to do it. You find a way to make 1690 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: it so people can watch her play basket. 1691 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:13,760 Speaker 3: You've got to go ahead and utilize her and her 1692 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,120 Speaker 3: popularity and get people to tune on in. 1693 01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,680 Speaker 2: That's what it's about. And they did not do a 1694 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:20,240 Speaker 2: very good job of it right now. 1695 01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: No, they didn't, and they better maximize this while they 1696 01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: have the absolute prey, which of course they do. So 1697 01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: the third hour of the program is coming up.

I do think your math was a little bit. 1735 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: Your math got a little walky there. But the point 1736 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,800 Speaker 1: is still the same. We are definitely coming to a 1737 01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:26,560 Speaker 1: place where it's gonna require a bunch of different subscriptions 1738 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,439 Speaker 1: in order to watch your sports. And it's not just 1739 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,280 Speaker 1: gonna be the NFL, it's gonna be the NBA.

So you've got all these different 1748 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,160 Speaker 1: things and you're seeing the prices go up. How many 1749 01:21:56,200 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 1: emails are we getting now a month? One of the 1750 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,920 Speaker 1: services that we subscribe to saying that they're about to 1751 01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,559 Speaker 1: raise the price a dollar or two dollars. Here, they're 1752 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:10,880 Speaker 1: going to offer a tier that's lower, but they're going 1753 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,639 Speaker 1: to jack up the higher tier price another five bucks 1754 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:16,719 Speaker 1: and all this this is what, this is what's happening. 1755 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 1: And we've we've hit this inflection point I think where 1756 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,599 Speaker 1: most people are now picking and choosing based on what's 1757 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 1: available to watch right now that I want to see, 1758 01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 1: Like do I need Max all year long? Or do 1759 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:34,040 Speaker 1: I get Max when the Game of Throne spinoff comes 1760 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,200 Speaker 1: back and when the Penguin is there, And then when 1761 01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,599 Speaker 1: I've seen all that, did you get rid of it back? 1762 01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:38,880 Speaker 3: Right? 1763 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,160 Speaker 1: Right? I see what just saying there is. That's that's 1764 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:44,599 Speaker 1: why the bet that Netflix has made, I don't care 1765 01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:47,840 Speaker 1: what it cost them. You get WWE. The difference is 1766 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: they don't have a season. It's fifty two weeks. If 1767 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,640 Speaker 1: you're a fan of WWE programming, you've got to be 1768 01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,840 Speaker 1: with their with them all year and so they get 1769 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:59,719 Speaker 1: raw every Monday, and that all of a sudden becomes 1770 01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,320 Speaker 1: that becomes destination and it becomes the only place you 1771 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,599 Speaker 1: can see it is having a constant Netflix account that's 1772 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,759 Speaker 1: different than even a sixteen weeks, seventeen week plus the playoffs, 1773 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,799 Speaker 1: NFL season, or whatever the season is for whatever sports, 1774 01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 1: that one might actually pay off the rest of it. 1775 01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're just getting to a place where, 1776 01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:21,760 Speaker 1: at least when I look at it, for me, I mean, 1777 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,320 Speaker 1: I know we do this for a living, but at 1778 01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,599 Speaker 1: the same time, you're going to have to actually prove 1779 01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,439 Speaker 1: to me it's worth spending money if I just don't 1780 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:33,040 Speaker 1: have all the stuff anymore, because we don't have the 1781 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 1: time anymore to devote to all of this stuff, and 1782 01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:39,640 Speaker 1: with it being in seventeen different places. I mean, you 1783 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 1: think about it like your father, if you're a little 1784 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 1: bit younger your grandfather, how did they navigate this? Oh geez, 1785 01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 1: Maybe they're tech savvy, but most of them are not. 1786 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 1: And how do they find their sports? 1787 01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,479 Speaker 3: It's tough enough for somebody like me to go ahead 1788 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,439 Speaker 3: navigate I keep I'm like I had the call up. 1789 01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 3: I didn't even know if I had the red zone anymore. 1790 01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 3: I was panicking a week before the season started. I 1791 01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,720 Speaker 3: got somebody on the phone and it turns out that 1792 01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,120 Speaker 3: I have it. I didn't even know why I had it. 1793 01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:11,120 Speaker 3: It's amazing, though, how many different channels. This is And 1794 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 3: by the way, that's not even including when we start 1795 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 3: selling the Super Bowl right sooner or later, we're gonna 1796 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 3: have to pay one hundred dollars. 1797 01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:19,599 Speaker 2: We'll have to pony that up to watch the Super Bowl. 1798 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I think. 1799 01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:23,280 Speaker 2: So some people think that's never going to happen. 1800 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:24,080 Speaker 1: It is. 1801 01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 3: Look, since people kind of stopped going to games because 1802 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 3: it was so expensive for ticket and parking, and we 1803 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,240 Speaker 3: stay home now because we have these great TVs. Now, 1804 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,000 Speaker 3: they want the people that are staying home with the 1805 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 3: great TVs the pony up with all these channels. And 1806 01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 3: we really don't have much of a choice if you 1807 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 3: want to watch the NFL. But I got to assume 1808 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,920 Speaker 3: our average listener out there right now doesn't have every 1809 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:48,559 Speaker 3: one of those channels, you know what I mean, They 1810 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,320 Speaker 3: don't have five or six channels to get the whole NFL. 1811 01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 3: And that's too bad because they're pricing the average person out. 1812 01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:57,720 Speaker 3: It's getting crazy, they are. 1813 01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 1: And of course the same thing is true if you 1814 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,639 Speaker 1: want to go see it. I mean, just the parking 1815 01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:04,800 Speaker 1: alone keeps a lot of people away. It's insane going 1816 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 1: to cost the park near the stadium. 1817 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:11,840 Speaker 3: It's absolutely parking in Jerry's World for the Cowboys. It's crazy, yeah, 1818 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 3: and it's not getting better. And you're right, it is 1819 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,680 Speaker 3: pricing out and it's not really a good time for it. 1820 01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: If you look at the state of the economy and 1821 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 1: the things that have gone up in price in the 1822 01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 1: last couple of years, we're not in a place where 1823 01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 1: a lot of people want to find extra income to 1824 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: spend on the stuff that they've gotten used to their 1825 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:35,040 Speaker 1: entire lives being provided for them. Well, it's a big time, 1826 01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,800 Speaker 1: it's a big shift. I can't wait to see how 1827 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 1: it all shakes out. 1828 01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 3: And now you've got to buy Netflix if you want 1829 01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,439 Speaker 3: to get the day of the games on Christmas Day. 1830 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,240 Speaker 3: Allegedly that's is that the next thing up? Or do 1831 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 3: they announce that because supposedly Netflix is going to buy 1832 01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:53,120 Speaker 3: the two Christmas Day games on the on the NFL. 1833 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,360 Speaker 1: So, I mean, at what point is at what point 1834 01:25:56,439 --> 01:26:00,680 Speaker 1: are people just going to say now you can keep it? Like, 1835 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:06,599 Speaker 1: is having a couple of games on Christmas Day gonna 1836 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 1: be enough to get everybody that watches the NFL to 1837 01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:10,960 Speaker 1: pony up the money. I don't want the game. I 1838 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:12,599 Speaker 1: think we're gonna get to a point where they're when 1839 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,040 Speaker 1: people are gonna actually say no. 1840 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,640 Speaker 2: I mean, is it gonna be no offense against Jacksonville? 1841 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,360 Speaker 3: Is it gonna be a game that you know Jacksonville Atlanta, 1842 01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,559 Speaker 3: or is it gonna be Dallas Cowboys in Kansas City. 1843 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,840 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a big difference between those two if 1844 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 3: you want to pony up, and I. 1845 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 1: Mean I think the answer if you are trying to 1846 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,160 Speaker 1: make money is the latter, right. I mean, think about 1847 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:35,400 Speaker 1: the game that was on Peacock. The playoff game was 1848 01:26:35,439 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: on Peacock as you had to have Peacock for this 1849 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,360 Speaker 1: past year. Was Kansas City, right? And people were upset 1850 01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: about that because how dare you do that to this 1851 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City team with Mahomes and Kelsey and Taylor Swift 1852 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:51,160 Speaker 1: and everything else. That's why they did it like that. 1853 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,439 Speaker 1: The one that's going to be the most lucrative is 1854 01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:55,639 Speaker 1: the one they're gonna do because they don't care about 1855 01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 1: making you happy. They care about separating as much from 1856 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,879 Speaker 1: your wallet into theirs as humanly possible. 1857 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,320 Speaker 3: That was the Kansas City Miami game, right, the playoff 1858 01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:05,200 Speaker 3: game was it not yet? 1859 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:07,960 Speaker 1: I mean playing kill all of that stuff? 1860 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 2: Right? 1861 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,759 Speaker 3: So playoff games now are you could not have gotten 1862 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:13,120 Speaker 3: it unless you got what peacock. 1863 01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 2: Is that what it was? Is there any games on 1864 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 2: Apple TV or we've not got I don't even. 1865 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,040 Speaker 1: Know any man they've got baseball right now, and I 1866 01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,439 Speaker 1: don't think they're looking at maybe I think it might 1867 01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,280 Speaker 1: have been them that was looking at the NBA, and 1868 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:26,720 Speaker 1: I know they'd like to get on the NFL. I mean, eventually, 1869 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,880 Speaker 1: it's just you're gonna have to have everything, and you're 1870 01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:31,799 Speaker 1: also gonna have to have a spreadsheet to find. 1871 01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,360 Speaker 3: Out yes, yes, you're gonna I have to know where 1872 01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,040 Speaker 3: to go to YouTube TV and Prime Video and Peacock 1873 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 3: and Netflix, and it's it's just gotten absolutely crazy. So 1874 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,120 Speaker 3: that that's why it came up, because it looks like 1875 01:27:44,160 --> 01:27:46,840 Speaker 3: Netflix is gonna get those Christmas Day games. So that's 1876 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,040 Speaker 3: just a little bit more of everybody out there to 1877 01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 3: podion up for the games, which you're gonna have to do. 1878 01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:56,720 Speaker 1: Celtics win take home court back. This is look in 1879 01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,559 Speaker 1: the playoffs, they've been worse at home than on the 1880 01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 1: road pretty consistently. They win pretty easily in Cleveland. Last night, 1881 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,840 Speaker 1: Dallas with a big win at home against the number 1882 01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 1: one seed Oklahoma City. They now have a two to 1883 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,120 Speaker 1: one lead as well. How do you look at those 1884 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:15,360 Speaker 1: two series right now? I don't think anybody's looking at 1885 01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:17,160 Speaker 1: the Calves as if they were a real threat to 1886 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,000 Speaker 1: beat the Celtics the West. Even as a Thunder fan, 1887 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:21,960 Speaker 1: I gotta say I was a little scared of going 1888 01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:25,000 Speaker 1: into the series just because of the potential of the 1889 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:28,679 Speaker 1: superstar players, in particular for Dallas them being up to 1890 01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:31,599 Speaker 1: one against a young basketball team on a night win. 1891 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:34,679 Speaker 1: SGA went for thirty one and had a great game, 1892 01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,919 Speaker 1: had five blocks in the game. I'm a little concerned 1893 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:38,759 Speaker 1: about that series. 1894 01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:41,800 Speaker 3: I'm wondering all games, all the series are two to 1895 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 3: one right now? Who needs to win game for the most? 1896 01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 3: Is it the Pacers or the next Nuggets or Wolves? 1897 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,680 Speaker 3: Which team has to go ahead? Is it the Cavaliers 1898 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 3: that otherwise they're pretty much done If they get down 1899 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:02,000 Speaker 3: three to one? Is it the Thunder? Thunder? I mean, 1900 01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:03,800 Speaker 3: can they can they go down three to on? Which 1901 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:08,040 Speaker 3: team has to win the most for a game number four? 1902 01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anybody can go down three 1903 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,439 Speaker 1: to one and come back right right, I really don't. 1904 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 1: I think it's asking too much. But if if I 1905 01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:19,719 Speaker 1: had to try and rank it. I would probably say 1906 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:24,080 Speaker 1: the Knicks need to go up three to one because 1907 01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:27,479 Speaker 1: of the injury situation. I don't think they need to 1908 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,720 Speaker 1: go to to with Ananobi you're not sure whether or 1909 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 1: not he can come back at all, and Brunson maybe 1910 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,080 Speaker 1: needing a bit of a rest before the next series. 1911 01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 2: Now, it's not the team I would have picked, not 1912 01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,360 Speaker 2: even closed, but. 1913 01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,040 Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it would be. I'm looking at 1914 01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,600 Speaker 1: from a different perspective though, right, Like I understand like 1915 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 1: if you're looking at it, I'm just looking at it 1916 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:52,320 Speaker 1: purely from where those guys find themselves from a health standpoint, right. 1917 01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they need to be in a prolonged 1918 01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:55,880 Speaker 1: series if they. 1919 01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:56,519 Speaker 2: Can not of it. 1920 01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:57,439 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. 1921 01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 3: I totally agree with you there. I still think don't 1922 01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,240 Speaker 3: don't forget. Even though they won Game three, I still 1923 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:05,760 Speaker 3: think it's the Denver Nuggets. They can't go down three 1924 01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:09,559 Speaker 3: to one. Look, they were down to nothing and they 1925 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:13,439 Speaker 3: were playing in Minnesota. They lose that game series over, well, 1926 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:15,760 Speaker 3: they came up with a big victory. Still, if they 1927 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,000 Speaker 3: go down three to one, yes they go back to Denver, 1928 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,960 Speaker 3: but you know it's gonna be tough considering Minnesota's already 1929 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,519 Speaker 3: taken two from them in Denver. They're not gonna be 1930 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:24,599 Speaker 3: afraid to play down there. 1931 01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:27,559 Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. If I was just trying 1932 01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,439 Speaker 1: to pick, I would I would say for sure. Then 1933 01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,360 Speaker 1: against that Minnesota team, the way that they are built, 1934 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 1: they are built. Sometimes there's just teams that are built 1935 01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:38,720 Speaker 1: to beat another team, right good. We started to see 1936 01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 1: a lot of NBA teams that were being built to 1937 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,360 Speaker 1: beat Golden State, right like they were being constructed to 1938 01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:46,040 Speaker 1: be able to score with Golden State, to be able 1939 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:49,000 Speaker 1: to withstand their runs, to make threes, all that kind 1940 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,280 Speaker 1: of thing. Well, the Nuggets were. They just had this 1941 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,200 Speaker 1: kind of killer app fuel to them last year. And 1942 01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:57,240 Speaker 1: so you're starting to see the dynasty. You're seeing these 1943 01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:00,120 Speaker 1: guys going into their prime, and they're all there and 1944 01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:02,160 Speaker 1: they're all locked up for a good amount of time. 1945 01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,120 Speaker 1: But then you look at Minnesota and you recognize their 1946 01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:09,720 Speaker 1: size and how they can take Jokic out of his 1947 01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:11,719 Speaker 1: game in those first two games, and then you start 1948 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:13,880 Speaker 1: to look at Edwards and you say, if he continues 1949 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 1: along this pace like at two oh, I felt like, man, 1950 01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:19,840 Speaker 1: you know what, I think they've got their number. I 1951 01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,640 Speaker 1: just think they're built to beat them. I think, you know, 1952 01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:23,800 Speaker 1: it was a perfect team to match up with dev 1953 01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:24,760 Speaker 1: with Denver. 1954 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,040 Speaker 3: I was surprised. I wasn't surprised that they could win 1955 01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,360 Speaker 3: one game in Denver. I was surprised that they took 1956 01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,240 Speaker 3: too in Denver. Yeah, but we really shouldn't because maybe 1957 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:35,599 Speaker 3: the Lakers series tipped us off against something. Yes, they 1958 01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,599 Speaker 3: had a couple of big shots Denver to win games, 1959 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:39,519 Speaker 3: to win two games at the end of the game, 1960 01:31:39,840 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 3: and they walked away with a five game but gentlemen sweep. 1961 01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:48,280 Speaker 3: But overall they were not dominating over the Lakers. The 1962 01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,200 Speaker 3: Lakers that had the lead most of the every game. 1963 01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:55,280 Speaker 1: Well, notoriously it was slow starts, right, and that's the 1964 01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 1: same thing that happened. And you even heard Mike Malone 1965 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:00,920 Speaker 1: say it after game too. Got to stop doing this, 1966 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 1: like we can't. We can't expect to come back like 1967 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:06,439 Speaker 1: this over and over again. I will give them credit though, 1968 01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:08,960 Speaker 1: And I heard Jokic say it after game three and 1969 01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,120 Speaker 1: you could see it watching. Of course, when you get 1970 01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:14,120 Speaker 1: Jamal Murray really showing up, that's going to help you out. 1971 01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:15,600 Speaker 1: When he starts to look a little bit more like 1972 01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:17,680 Speaker 1: himself and he's playing on one leg, it felt like 1973 01:32:17,720 --> 01:32:21,559 Speaker 1: in his first two games. But they they they made 1974 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 1: an adjustment, a critical adjustment to their pace of play. Namely, 1975 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,439 Speaker 1: they were getting over half court in three seconds. They 1976 01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:31,760 Speaker 1: were taking the ball out from underneath the basket, and 1977 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,799 Speaker 1: they were running. They were getting there and not letting 1978 01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:37,599 Speaker 1: Minnesota get set up to play half court. They had 1979 01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:40,960 Speaker 1: to speed up their pace. That was the only way 1980 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,320 Speaker 1: that they were going to be able to counter what 1981 01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:45,639 Speaker 1: Minnesota was throwing at them. I give them a ton 1982 01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:50,240 Speaker 1: of credit for watching that, acknowledging it, and actually adjusting 1983 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,960 Speaker 1: to it. That's why these seven game series can be 1984 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,000 Speaker 1: so fascinating in such a chess match, because now, what 1985 01:32:56,080 --> 01:33:00,160 Speaker 1: is Minnesota going to have in game four, now that 1986 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,880 Speaker 1: they've seen what the Nuggets are doing to counter their 1987 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,759 Speaker 1: strengths from the first two games. Right, that's really interesting. 1988 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,120 Speaker 1: But credit the Nuggets, and it shows why Malone's a 1989 01:33:08,160 --> 01:33:10,840 Speaker 1: good coach and why that team has been so good 1990 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:14,120 Speaker 1: and so successful that they were able to diagnose their 1991 01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:15,680 Speaker 1: problem and fix. 1992 01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 2: It absolutely one. 1993 01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:20,120 Speaker 3: And by the way, why are you going to do 1994 01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:23,120 Speaker 3: something stupid and then give me attitude? 1995 01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:24,599 Speaker 2: I'm talking about Jamal Murray. 1996 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 3: Why are you going to throw something on the court, 1997 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,320 Speaker 3: and then when they go talk to you, you're gonna 1998 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:32,080 Speaker 3: give them attitude. I'm getting a little sick and tired 1999 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 3: of the Lebron's, the Anthony Davis, uh, the Pat Beverly's, 2000 01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:42,160 Speaker 3: the Murray's, with the attitude when nobody's you know, nobody did. 2001 01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:45,400 Speaker 2: Anything to you. You know, that's why I love Josh Hart. 2002 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,679 Speaker 3: You know, when something bad happens, he doesn't get the call, 2003 01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:52,200 Speaker 3: he stands up in front of everybody. It doesn't cry, 2004 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:56,160 Speaker 3: doesn't complain, doesn't give an attitude, you know what I mean, 2005 01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,600 Speaker 3: just answers the question. I don't understand what the attitude 2006 01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:02,240 Speaker 3: was with with Murray over what he did with stupid 2007 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:05,960 Speaker 3: anybody have a basketball question. I mean, that's just it's 2008 01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:07,360 Speaker 3: it's getting old, to be honest with you. 2009 01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,400 Speaker 2: I don't know why they're fight with the media so much. 2010 01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:13,280 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think and there were there was 2011 01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:17,599 Speaker 1: at least one NBA executive I saw that was on 2012 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:21,560 Speaker 1: record somewhere saying, uh, NBA is trying to protect his 2013 01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:23,840 Speaker 1: television ratings. Murray should have been suspended. 2014 01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:24,839 Speaker 2: He should have been suspended. 2015 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, he should have been You can't throw stuff on 2016 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:31,240 Speaker 3: the court, No, you can't. 2017 01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 2: If I stuff on the court. I would never be 2018 01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:34,040 Speaker 2: allowed back in the. 2019 01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,439 Speaker 1: Arena, That's right. I think it's because he didn't have 2020 01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:38,400 Speaker 1: a history, for one, But I also do think there 2021 01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:40,720 Speaker 1: might be something to what that executive is saying. But 2022 01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:44,080 Speaker 1: exactly the larger point I think is this because you 2023 01:34:44,160 --> 01:34:49,800 Speaker 1: mentioned multiple guys. You mentioned Lebron, you mentioned and Pat Beverly, 2024 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:53,679 Speaker 1: we're talking about now, we're talking about Jamal Murray. All 2025 01:34:53,760 --> 01:34:59,599 Speaker 1: these guys feel entitled. And I'm not even saying that 2026 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:04,200 Speaker 1: it's false entitlement. They feel entitled because their commissioner has 2027 01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:08,439 Speaker 1: no backbone. And I'm serious, like, I mean, really think 2028 01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:12,920 Speaker 1: about it. The NBA players can do whatever they want, 2029 01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:17,519 Speaker 1: right because the league is just gonna stand down, man. 2030 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, think about the Ja Morant situation when it 2031 01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:22,720 Speaker 1: first happened, and him going to Florida for like four 2032 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:25,400 Speaker 1: days and then coming back after all that had gone down, 2033 01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:29,200 Speaker 1: and you know, you hope that you never see that again. 2034 01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:32,800 Speaker 1: But how many opportunities has Adam Silver had in the 2035 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,160 Speaker 1: last couple of years to actually stand up and say 2036 01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,880 Speaker 1: you know what, no, and instead he has found a 2037 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:43,800 Speaker 1: way to capitulate. And so now you've got entitled athletes 2038 01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:47,760 Speaker 1: that aren't even being told no by the guy that's 2039 01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 1: in charge of their league. And you wonder why they're 2040 01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:53,719 Speaker 1: kind of petulant towards the media. 2041 01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:56,439 Speaker 3: Well, he works for the owners, and the owners kind 2042 01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:58,479 Speaker 3: of dictate what he's supposed to do, and they're like, 2043 01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:01,120 Speaker 3: you're you better not do any need to hurt our league. 2044 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:05,160 Speaker 3: Better not be suspending players. We need television revenue, We 2045 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:09,000 Speaker 3: need television ratings. You better not suspend Murray. If Lebron 2046 01:36:09,080 --> 01:36:11,920 Speaker 3: did something wrong, you better make sure he's playing, and 2047 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,720 Speaker 3: it better be prime time, you know, all he has 2048 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:15,920 Speaker 3: to answer to people like that. 2049 01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 1: Look, if that had been contavious Calwell, Pope, he's. 2050 01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:26,040 Speaker 3: Probably for the rest of the playoffs, seriously, certainly for 2051 01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:26,880 Speaker 3: the next game. 2052 01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 1: But again, I mean the leaks, the leaks. You feel 2053 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,000 Speaker 1: if I was playing that league, I would try to 2054 01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:35,679 Speaker 1: get away with everything under the sun too. 2055 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,120 Speaker 3: Mostly, I'm shocked Pat Beverley only got four games for 2056 01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:40,640 Speaker 3: what he did out there. 2057 01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,160 Speaker 1: Are you? I mean, I think he should have gotten more. 2058 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,360 Speaker 1: You're right, I told him. You think the league was 2059 01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:49,000 Speaker 1: gonna come down hard on him. 2060 01:36:48,800 --> 01:36:49,880 Speaker 2: Because he did it twice? 2061 01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:54,519 Speaker 1: He how often has the league come down hard on anybody? 2062 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,599 Speaker 1: I mean, look at Draymond Green just this past season 2063 01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:01,280 Speaker 1: while he's talking about the Knicks being a fluke. If 2064 01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,080 Speaker 1: David Stern had been the commissioner, you wouldn't have been 2065 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:05,559 Speaker 1: playing right right. 2066 01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,360 Speaker 3: I thought it was gonna be a little bit worse 2067 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,559 Speaker 3: because he threw the ball twice and he fired it 2068 01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:13,360 Speaker 3: at the fan and it was a woman. So I thought, 2069 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,759 Speaker 3: they say, no, no, we can't have anything like that. Yet, 2070 01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:18,559 Speaker 3: you can't be attacking the fans. And the fan didn't 2071 01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:20,920 Speaker 3: say anything. No matter what he ever, he says, Pat 2072 01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:23,240 Speaker 3: Beebie never tells us what was said. He just said 2073 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,360 Speaker 3: he was shocked. So I'm not going to speculate, but 2074 01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:29,679 Speaker 3: if there was something heard, we would have heard exactly 2075 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,240 Speaker 3: what was said. I just think he lost his cool. 2076 01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:34,840 Speaker 3: I think they said what three to two one can't coon? 2077 01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:37,799 Speaker 3: And he got upset about it and lost his marbles 2078 01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 3: and they went to can'tkuon right exactly. 2079 01:37:41,120 --> 01:37:50,479 Speaker 1: That's when we come back, Aunt and MJ. Why are 2080 01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:53,320 Speaker 1: we doing this? We'll talk about that next. It is 2081 01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:57,120 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio.

How there was a local casino 2114 01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:30,240 Speaker 3: involved in to that effect in lass. 2115 01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,680 Speaker 1: But he's had like seventeen stories.

I 2122 01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,679 Speaker 3: don't think he's going to do more than five years. 2123 01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:52,719 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna do all that much. 2124 01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:55,480 Speaker 1: In five years. Who's the best player. 2125 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,800 Speaker 2: In the NBA Anthony Edwards? 2126 01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:02,160 Speaker 1: Okay, is it cool if we actually watched that five 2127 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:08,840 Speaker 1: years and don't invote Michael Jordan? Mean we have to 2128 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:09,240 Speaker 1: do this. 2129 01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:11,600 Speaker 3: I mean, every time somebody is great, we got to 2130 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:12,599 Speaker 3: compare him the Michael Jordan. 2131 01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:15,160 Speaker 1: Well, I'm not saying everybody it's always Michael Jordan, but 2132 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:18,080 Speaker 1: it's always somebody. But in this case, I saw the 2133 01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:21,000 Speaker 1: Marcus Thompson articles like, yep, go ahead and say it. 2134 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,240 Speaker 1: He looks like Michael Jordan. And we had the whole 2135 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,720 Speaker 1: thing with the broadcasters that night that we're I don't 2136 01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:28,519 Speaker 1: want to say it, Jamal Crawford, but he's starting to 2137 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:33,200 Speaker 1: remind me of somebody and all this, like, really, I 2138 01:40:33,640 --> 01:40:37,519 Speaker 1: understand that Anthony Edwards is as good as you say is, Like, 2139 01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you watch him and it's incredible. I love 2140 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:41,800 Speaker 1: the fact that we're gonna have to watch this guy's 2141 01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,760 Speaker 1: entire career, right And by the way, I'm glad that 2142 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,160 Speaker 1: he did an interview or he had done a sit 2143 01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:49,400 Speaker 1: down and he said people need to stop with these. 2144 01:40:49,320 --> 01:40:51,519 Speaker 2: Comparisons, and they should. He's absolutely right. 2145 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,880 Speaker 3: He has no championships, so a little worry about winning 2146 01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:58,880 Speaker 3: won championship. Look, he's never gonna be Michael. I know, 2147 01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:00,800 Speaker 3: we want to compare him the Michael was. We miss 2148 01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:04,840 Speaker 3: Michael so much, and gosh, we want somebody with that 2149 01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:10,040 Speaker 3: competitiveness and that desire, and Anthony Edwards maybe have that 2150 01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:15,040 Speaker 3: competitive competitiveness and desire, but he'll never be another Michael Jordan. 2151 01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,799 Speaker 3: That's not a knock against them. They're just nobody's another 2152 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:19,719 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. 2153 01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look Anthony Edwards in terms of where 2154 01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,240 Speaker 1: he is in his career and where Jordan was at 2155 01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:28,439 Speaker 1: this point in his career. If you want to try 2156 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,240 Speaker 1: and split hairs and you want to get to it 2157 01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:34,040 Speaker 1: that way, then okay, yeah, because it took Jordan years 2158 01:41:34,240 --> 01:41:36,880 Speaker 1: to get past the Pistons and win his first championship and. 2159 01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:39,840 Speaker 2: Then he went on the run seven years or something 2160 01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:40,040 Speaker 2: like that. 2161 01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:43,240 Speaker 1: It took him a long time, it did. And in 2162 01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,240 Speaker 1: game dunking, nobody's better than Anthony Edwards. He makes the 2163 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:51,200 Speaker 1: fallaway shot kind of that that little little backstep move 2164 01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:52,880 Speaker 1: that Jordan used to make. He does a lot of 2165 01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,760 Speaker 1: things that are Jordanish and so did Kobe and all this, 2166 01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:59,600 Speaker 1: but I just don't think it does him any favors. 2167 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,479 Speaker 1: We could just enjoy how great he is. Well, it's 2168 01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:07,160 Speaker 1: not not immediately have to invoke anybody else. The same 2169 01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:10,280 Speaker 1: thing with Kayleb Williams being talked about with Patrick Mahomes, 2170 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:11,519 Speaker 1: like just let the dude play. 2171 01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, but why are you going to bed though? 2172 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:15,439 Speaker 3: Why are you so offended by it if we go 2173 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:17,400 Speaker 3: ahead and compare him to do with Mahomes or a 2174 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:18,320 Speaker 3: Michael Jordan. 2175 01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,160 Speaker 1: Saying I'm offended by it, right right, I'm just saying, 2176 01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:24,840 Speaker 1: there's no reason to put someone on that kind of 2177 01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:28,400 Speaker 1: a pedestal because all they can then, because if you 2178 01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,519 Speaker 1: say he's the next Michael Jordan or boy he's starting 2179 01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:33,800 Speaker 1: to look a lot like Jordan, then even if he 2180 01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:37,880 Speaker 1: goes and has a great career, he's still gonna fall 2181 01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 1: short of that mark. The chances are, the chances are 2182 01:42:41,080 --> 01:42:44,960 Speaker 1: real small. He's gonna have Michael Jordan's career by real small, 2183 01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:49,160 Speaker 1: I mean real, real, real small. So that's setting him 2184 01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 1: up to not live up to an expectation. So you're 2185 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,040 Speaker 1: not letting him dictate his own career. 2186 01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,479 Speaker 3: Hey, so what, you're not living up to Michael Jordan. 2187 01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 3: But is that going to keep you up at night? 2188 01:42:59,040 --> 01:42:59,439 Speaker 1: No way. 2189 01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:02,280 Speaker 3: I mean, he he knows what's going on here. That's 2190 01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:04,599 Speaker 3: no big deal. I don't think that that's a big 2191 01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:06,680 Speaker 3: thing to worry about, you know. I don't think it's 2192 01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,240 Speaker 3: taken away from his career or taken away from what 2193 01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:09,960 Speaker 3: he does on the court. 2194 01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:12,040 Speaker 1: I don't need to hear I don't need to hear 2195 01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 1: about how he is the next this and the next that, 2196 01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,360 Speaker 1: because he's the first Anthony Edwards, and that's really good. 2197 01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:23,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you can't. Yeah, it doesn't mean that 2198 01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:26,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't end up in a list with these legends. 2199 01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:30,240 Speaker 1: But let's let him have his own career before we 2200 01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:32,559 Speaker 1: even put that on him. And I think I think 2201 01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:36,200 Speaker 1: he's smart enough to actually the way he's talking about it, 2202 01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:38,840 Speaker 1: the way he's dismissed it, that's exactly right. And of 2203 01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:41,200 Speaker 1: course if everybody else wants to say that and he 2204 01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:43,559 Speaker 1: stays out of the fray and he just lets them talk, 2205 01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,600 Speaker 1: it's fine. I just kind of read it and it 2206 01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:49,120 Speaker 1: was just like, man, it's just lazy, Like just talk 2207 01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:52,360 Speaker 1: about what he does right without having to say he 2208 01:43:52,479 --> 01:43:54,200 Speaker 1: does it like this guy did it. It's like, no, 2209 01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,439 Speaker 1: just what does he do? Like talking about it? It 2210 01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:57,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. 2211 01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,760 Speaker 3: And by the way, have your hand on the dumb button. 2212 01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:01,760 Speaker 3: I'm not allowed to say this. I don't want to 2213 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:05,240 Speaker 3: get in trouble, especially by the boss. But after the 2214 01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:08,880 Speaker 3: Edwards will get a lot more people watching him, and 2215 01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,320 Speaker 3: you know, come to fruition once he leaves Minnesota and 2216 01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:16,880 Speaker 3: joins the new York nexts No, No, that Hey, it's 2217 01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:19,400 Speaker 3: just a matter of time. We know that he'll he'll 2218 01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,439 Speaker 3: be with the New York Next and then then the 2219 01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:22,920 Speaker 3: championships will start coming. 2220 01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:26,599 Speaker 2: So we'll wait for that day. But is the boss 2221 01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:28,280 Speaker 2: gonna fire me for saying that? I don't know. 2222 01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the more interesting question is gonna 2223 01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:34,479 Speaker 1: be how long? And I've already seen it, so I 2224 01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:37,320 Speaker 1: know some people already say it, but I don't know 2225 01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:42,360 Speaker 1: that we're quite to that point. How long before his 2226 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:44,439 Speaker 1: is the first name on the list and not Kevin 2227 01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 1: Gartinett for that franchise, for being the best player to 2228 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:51,840 Speaker 1: ever play there. 2229 01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:53,679 Speaker 2: Oh geez. 2230 01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:57,640 Speaker 3: Again, it has to come with championships though, right, he 2231 01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,800 Speaker 3: can't just go you can't go ahead and you know, 2232 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:02,760 Speaker 3: do it until you get championships. 2233 01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:03,960 Speaker 1: But it won't. 2234 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 3: It will take probably about three four years before they, 2235 01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,240 Speaker 3: you know, before people say he's much better than Kevin 2236 01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:12,200 Speaker 3: Garnett and put him number one. 2237 01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:13,760 Speaker 2: I would I wouldn't say right around that. 2238 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's still very high praise considering how good 2239 01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 1: Garnett was. 2240 01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:22,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know, they never had anybody was there a 2241 01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:22,880 Speaker 3: long time. 2242 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was there for a long time and didn't 2243 01:45:24,960 --> 01:45:28,519 Speaker 1: win very much because it was just it wasn't a 2244 01:45:28,560 --> 01:45:30,639 Speaker 1: franchise that was ready to win at that point in time, 2245 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:32,320 Speaker 1: and so he had to go to Boston to get 2246 01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:36,639 Speaker 1: it done. If Edwards get one, you might already put 2247 01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,280 Speaker 1: him there. But they do have more around him, like 2248 01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you do look at I mean, Karl Anthony 2249 01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:43,920 Speaker 1: town is a pretty good basketball player, especially when he 2250 01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the alpha, when when it can 2251 01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:48,559 Speaker 1: be Anthony Edwards. Karl Anthony Towns is a much better 2252 01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,720 Speaker 1: He's a much better second banana than he is. 2253 01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:53,439 Speaker 2: A front banana. Right, No, you're absolutely right about that. 2254 01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:56,320 Speaker 3: But can you mention can you figure jigg and Brunson 2255 01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:59,160 Speaker 3: and Anthony Edwards in the backcourt there? 2256 01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:01,759 Speaker 2: That's not too shat to fuel. 2257 01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:05,439 Speaker 1: That into existence? To get shut down. Let's let's give 2258 01:46:05,479 --> 01:46:08,840 Speaker 1: you a breather, retreat to your core. Let's go, let's 2259 01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:11,519 Speaker 1: go out to LA one more time. Let's bringing Kevin 2260 01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:13,559 Speaker 1: wired and find out what happened in sports last night. 2261 01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:17,240 Speaker 6: Kevin, Yeah, good amount of playoff action. On Saturday, Celtics 2262 01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:19,960 Speaker 6: Cavaliers game of three of that series. They were tied 2263 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 6: at one game apiece, but the Boston Celtics getting a 2264 01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 6: complete team effort in this win against the Cavaliers one 2265 01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:28,679 Speaker 6: oh six ninety three. The final Jason Tatum had thirty 2266 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:32,040 Speaker 6: three points, Jalen Brown had twenty eight, Drew Holiday at eighteen, 2267 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:35,919 Speaker 6: Derek Whitewood twelve. But contrasts that to the Cleveland Cavaliers 2268 01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,920 Speaker 6: Evan Mobley had seventeen, Donno Mitchell had thirty three and 2269 01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,439 Speaker 6: outside of a late run by Darius Garland who finished 2270 01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,280 Speaker 6: with fifteen points, really not much other help that They 2271 01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,320 Speaker 6: got Donovan Mitchell seven to twelve from beyond the three 2272 01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:52,439 Speaker 6: point arc. The rest of the team just five of 2273 01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:56,799 Speaker 6: twenty seven, So a poor shooting night by the Cavaliers. 2274 01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,120 Speaker 6: They now find themselves in a hole. In this best 2275 01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,160 Speaker 6: of seventh series, the Mavericks over the Thunder one oh 2276 01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:04,240 Speaker 6: five to one oh one. It was a big performance 2277 01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 6: by the Big three PJ. Washington, Kyrie Irving, Luca Datcich 2278 01:47:08,360 --> 01:47:12,160 Speaker 6: combining for seventy one points. Washington had twenty seven, Kyrie 2279 01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:15,080 Speaker 6: and Luca each with twenty two, Luca also with fifteen 2280 01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:18,880 Speaker 6: rebounds and five assists, and Shay Gilt just Alexander give 2281 01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:20,680 Speaker 6: him all the credit for laying it all out on 2282 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,320 Speaker 6: the court. He had one of his better performances of 2283 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:27,200 Speaker 6: the postseason. Thirty one points, ten rebounds, five blocks. That's 2284 01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:29,320 Speaker 6: the second most blocks in a single game by a 2285 01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:33,200 Speaker 6: point guard in NBA history. Only Fred van Fleet has 2286 01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:36,360 Speaker 6: had morey at six back in January against the Charlotte Hornets, 2287 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:39,760 Speaker 6: but otherwise second four Shae Gill just Alexander, He's tied 2288 01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,280 Speaker 6: with a bunch of other guys with five assists in 2289 01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:45,040 Speaker 6: a game by a point guard. In the NHL Stanley 2290 01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,559 Speaker 6: Cup Playoffs, the Hurricanes over the Rangers four to three, 2291 01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:50,200 Speaker 6: so Carolina stays alive in that series, but they do 2292 01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:54,000 Speaker 6: still trail three games to one. The Stars beat the 2293 01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:56,720 Speaker 6: Avalanche for won two big goals by Dallas in that 2294 01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:59,599 Speaker 6: third period gives them the two to one lead over 2295 01:47:59,680 --> 01:48:03,240 Speaker 6: in that series. And a Major League Baseball everything has concluded, 2296 01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:05,519 Speaker 6: although all the late games, ane of them are really close, 2297 01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:08,200 Speaker 6: so those games all but over. Early on, the Athletics 2298 01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:11,080 Speaker 6: over the Mariners eight one, Angels beat the Royals ninety three, 2299 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:14,160 Speaker 6: Dodgers shut out the Padres five nothing. Rockies over the 2300 01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:15,880 Speaker 6: Rangers eight to three. 2301 01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:19,680 Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, thanks, Kevin, appreciate you. 2302 01:48:20,080 --> 01:48:24,960 Speaker 1: That's that's the Dodgers have kind of righted the ship 2303 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:25,479 Speaker 1: a little bit. 2304 01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,639 Speaker 3: Oh you think so, wow, Yeah, they've They've been awesome. 2305 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:32,080 Speaker 3: Mookie bats is such an underrated superstar. I'm not even 2306 01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:36,760 Speaker 3: say underrated baseball player, just an underrated superstar. He's like 2307 01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:40,160 Speaker 3: one of the best in his sport and just does 2308 01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:42,599 Speaker 3: not get the recognition that other people do, like a 2309 01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,200 Speaker 3: Lebron or Mahomes or something like that. 2310 01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:47,360 Speaker 1: That was hard for me to admit, considering what they 2311 01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:51,840 Speaker 1: did to my braves last weekend, long long season. Acunya 2312 01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:53,320 Speaker 1: is not having a great year yet. 2313 01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:55,760 Speaker 3: But your braves almost had no hitter against by Mets today? 2314 01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:56,280 Speaker 2: How about that? 2315 01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:59,559 Speaker 1: Came very close? Still won the game though, JD. 2316 01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:02,320 Speaker 2: Martin the home mark. Yeah, they hit a home run 2317 01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:03,000 Speaker 2: in the ninth inning. 2318 01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:04,920 Speaker 1: How good are you guys going to be when Pete A. 2319 01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:06,440 Speaker 1: Lonso is not there anymore? 2320 01:49:06,280 --> 01:49:08,320 Speaker 3: We're not good now. So what difference does it make 2321 01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:10,880 Speaker 3: if he's there or not? So it doesn't make it 2322 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:13,120 Speaker 3: every night. I thought Peter Wansa wasn't going to be 2323 01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:15,479 Speaker 3: on the team this year. I'm not so sure they're 2324 01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:16,960 Speaker 3: going to get rid of him. I know there's been 2325 01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,519 Speaker 3: so much talk about him, and you know the money 2326 01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:20,120 Speaker 3: that he makes. 2327 01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:22,880 Speaker 2: But uh, I mean, well, we'll have to wait and see. 2328 01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:24,920 Speaker 3: But I don't think they'll end up getting rid of 2329 01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:27,639 Speaker 3: him if they stay close to the you know, wild Card. 2330 01:49:27,439 --> 01:49:32,679 Speaker 1: Race something or nothing. Just completely changing gears. You're hearing 2331 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:39,080 Speaker 1: rave stuff about Jane Daniels from Commanders workouts, and then 2332 01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:42,920 Speaker 1: jiraw Mao and New England said today or yesterday, Now 2333 01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,360 Speaker 1: you know Drake Mayre's there's a long way to go. 2334 01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:47,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot that he has to learn. But then 2335 01:49:47,240 --> 01:49:48,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the players are saying, man, he can 2336 01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,360 Speaker 1: really sling it and all these positives. 2337 01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,880 Speaker 2: Did you see the one on Pennick. Did you see 2338 01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:56,320 Speaker 2: the one on Penix or I don't know if you 2339 01:49:56,320 --> 01:49:58,240 Speaker 2: saw this on Twitter? Did you see that one where 2340 01:49:58,240 --> 01:49:58,960 Speaker 2: they said. 2341 01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:00,719 Speaker 1: He was no, I did not see the Pennis comment. 2342 01:50:00,880 --> 01:50:02,840 Speaker 3: I think they said he was firing the ball so 2343 01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:05,560 Speaker 3: fast that his receivers were dropping. 2344 01:50:05,240 --> 01:50:06,679 Speaker 2: It because it was coming in so hot. 2345 01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:10,160 Speaker 1: That was a problem. That was a problem in college too, 2346 01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:13,120 Speaker 1: Like that's that that's always been That was sort of 2347 01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,040 Speaker 1: a knock as he throws the ball almost too hard, 2348 01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,280 Speaker 1: right right, that's if that's legitimately what they're saying, that 2349 01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:20,400 Speaker 1: that's something that has been said about him in the past. 2350 01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:21,400 Speaker 2: I saw it on Twitter. 2351 01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:23,000 Speaker 3: I mean I saw it on Twitter, so I don't 2352 01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,840 Speaker 3: remember who put it out. It's got to be true, absolutely, no, 2353 01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:29,160 Speaker 3: I'm I take it with a grain of salt when 2354 01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,160 Speaker 3: people say that. It does concern me, though, When when 2355 01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:33,760 Speaker 3: a coach says, oh, he's got a lot of work 2356 01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:36,360 Speaker 3: to do, I'm like, oh, you know, maybe he's not 2357 01:50:36,439 --> 01:50:39,600 Speaker 3: ready to start or or something like that.

I think he 2360 01:50:44,439 --> 01:50:46,880 Speaker 3: was a little underrated because of all the talk about 2361 01:50:47,080 --> 01:50:48,920 Speaker 3: cagleb Williams and how great he's going to be. 2362 01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:55,200 Speaker 1: How do we feel about the new concessions in Green Bay? 2363 01:50:56,040 --> 01:50:56,880 Speaker 2: What do you mean by that? 2364 01:50:57,600 --> 01:51:00,280 Speaker 1: The Packers what they're going to be what's gonna be 2365 01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:02,080 Speaker 1: available in their stadium? 2366 01:51:02,479 --> 01:51:02,639 Speaker 7: Oh? 2367 01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:05,320 Speaker 3: You mean now that it's because it's an open air stadium, 2368 01:51:05,520 --> 01:51:09,080 Speaker 3: they're allowed smoking now. Yeah, the Packer and Alabama Football 2369 01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:12,080 Speaker 3: has done the same thing where they're gonna allow what cigarettes? 2370 01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:16,080 Speaker 3: I don't have the story in for me, but what 2371 01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,519 Speaker 3: pre rolled synthetic marijuana or something like that. 2372 01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:20,200 Speaker 7: Yeah. 2373 01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:23,360 Speaker 3: Delta eight I believe was I don't even know what 2374 01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:27,600 Speaker 3: that is and other stuff.

I don't think really, like, 2391 01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:13,120 Speaker 1: how in the world can the people in the stands 2392 01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:21,040 Speaker 1: watching you play be sparking up? But if you like gambling, no, 2393 01:52:21,200 --> 01:52:23,280 Speaker 1: is it gonna be like a marijuana section because you 2394 01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:26,160 Speaker 1: can't have kids near stuff like that.

I don't want my kids 2396 01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:30,400 Speaker 1: near that, but I also don't want them near vapes. 2397 01:52:31,080 --> 01:52:33,040 Speaker 2: That's true too, that's true. 2398 01:52:33,080 --> 01:52:34,479 Speaker 1: Definitely don't want them near vapes. 2399 01:52:34,520 --> 01:52:36,760 Speaker 2: But it's an open air stadium. So that's the saying 2400 01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:37,880 Speaker 2: that hawk by. 2401 01:52:37,880 --> 01:52:39,559 Speaker 1: Have you ever walked by somebody with a vape? We 2402 01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:42,360 Speaker 1: walked past somebody at a restaurant, my family. We walked 2403 01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:44,680 Speaker 1: past somebody like two weeks ago to a restaurant who 2404 01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:46,360 Speaker 1: was waiting on a table and they were vaping. I 2405 01:52:46,400 --> 01:52:49,400 Speaker 1: don't know what front door smoke was supposed to be. Yes, 2406 01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:53,960 Speaker 1: it was outdoors on a bench and like immediately perfect 2407 01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,799 Speaker 1: music for this, like dude blows it and the wind 2408 01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:59,960 Speaker 1: catches it and catches it over to us.

If the Packers are doing it, 2413 01:53:10,000 --> 01:53:12,160 Speaker 3: it's just a matter of time before all the other 2414 01:53:12,200 --> 01:53:14,559 Speaker 3: teams that have open air stadiums going to do it too. 2415 01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:17,679 Speaker 3: Alabama said we're gonna do that all cigarettes is awful 2416 01:53:17,720 --> 01:53:20,360 Speaker 3: to me, that is bad.

Is it gonna be a 2452 01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:48,440 Speaker 1: good thing? And doesn't make it a must watch? Plus 2453 01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:51,320 Speaker 1: we will pick the Sunday and Monday NBA games. That's 2454 01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:56,800 Speaker 1: next Fox Sports Saturday here on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah. 2455 01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna say to this other than. 2456 01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:00,920 Speaker 3: I don't think you could bring in a bomb saying 2457 01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:03,520 Speaker 3: the game. Yeah it's I think it's just cigarettes. 2458 01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:05,040 Speaker 2: I don't think you're bringing a bomb. 2459 01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:13,760 Speaker 1: It is Fox Sports Saturday. Finishing up. Remember it's Mother's Day. 2460 01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:16,320 Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and tell you that one more time. Yep, 2461 01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:20,240 Speaker 1: just about everywhere. Yep. Happy Mother's Day to all of 2462 01:55:20,240 --> 01:55:22,760 Speaker 1: those out there that qualify. And if you haven't gotten 2463 01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:31,040 Speaker 1: something for her yet, So Bill Belichick first quarter, every 2464 01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:35,720 Speaker 1: Manning cast, this fall, Peyton and Eli. Does that make 2465 01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:41,360 Speaker 1: it must see to you if you are if you've 2466 01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:42,920 Speaker 1: tuned out of it, Like for me, I've kind of 2467 01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:45,120 Speaker 1: gone back to just watching Joe and Troy. I just 2468 01:55:45,160 --> 01:55:47,080 Speaker 1: kind of want to watch, just kind of see the game, 2469 01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:49,480 Speaker 1: and then afterwards there'll be highlights all over websites and 2470 01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:51,600 Speaker 1: everything whatever happened on the Manning cast. Not that I'm 2471 01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:55,280 Speaker 1: not sometimes it gets a little bit too to drink 2472 01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:58,960 Speaker 1: minimum comedy act kind of stuff and all that, and 2473 01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:01,160 Speaker 1: I like it when they're breaking down the actual game 2474 01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:05,720 Speaker 1: and this, but Belichick being involved in it does certainly 2475 01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:09,160 Speaker 1: make me at least want to like DVR and then 2476 01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:11,320 Speaker 1: go back and watch the first quarter. I watched the 2477 01:56:11,360 --> 01:56:12,880 Speaker 1: first one. 2478 01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,000 Speaker 2: If if we're gonna talk about are you going to 2479 01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:15,800 Speaker 2: tune in for Belichick? 2480 01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:16,800 Speaker 1: I watched the first one. 2481 01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:18,440 Speaker 3: I want to see what he's got. I want to 2482 01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:19,880 Speaker 3: see what he's got to say. I want to see 2483 01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:22,600 Speaker 3: if he's going to go ahead and be critical, that's 2484 01:56:22,680 --> 01:56:25,640 Speaker 3: important part. If he's not going to be critical, if 2485 01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:28,440 Speaker 3: he's just gonna go ahead and you know, tiptoe through 2486 01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:30,680 Speaker 3: all the mistakes out there, then I really don't care 2487 01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,960 Speaker 3: what he's got to say. And two, I'm gonna go 2488 01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:35,520 Speaker 3: ahead and just probably get the clips of it, because 2489 01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:37,360 Speaker 3: when I'm watching the game, I don't need to hear 2490 01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:40,160 Speaker 3: everybody just going back and forth. And you know, maybe 2491 01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:43,920 Speaker 3: if there's like one big play and there's controversy, maybe 2492 01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:45,440 Speaker 3: I want to hear what everybody has to say. 2493 01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:48,000 Speaker 2: But otherwise I just want to watch the game and 2494 01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:49,320 Speaker 2: listen to the announcers. 2495 01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:51,360 Speaker 3: I I really don't want to hear the back and 2496 01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:55,240 Speaker 3: forth and right away the instant analysis or anything like that. 2497 01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,480 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think that I think the first 2498 01:56:57,480 --> 01:57:00,280 Speaker 1: one will give you a good sense of what you're 2499 01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:02,400 Speaker 1: likely to get from it. And I think the only 2500 01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:06,120 Speaker 1: danger when it comes to and you ask the right question, 2501 01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:09,600 Speaker 1: I think in terms of which Belichick you're gonna get 2502 01:57:09,680 --> 01:57:12,760 Speaker 1: is is he worried about burning a bridge in the 2503 01:57:12,840 --> 01:57:15,760 Speaker 1: league and getting back and coaching and as such, is 2504 01:57:15,760 --> 01:57:17,360 Speaker 1: he going to be Is he going to treat things 2505 01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:20,920 Speaker 1: with kid gloves right exactly? If not? If he's going 2506 01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:22,640 Speaker 1: to go in and be the Bill Belichick that we 2507 01:57:22,720 --> 01:57:24,560 Speaker 1: know he can be when it comes to being able 2508 01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:28,480 Speaker 1: to analyze and break down and explain what's happening and 2509 01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,760 Speaker 1: really kind of get into it. That to me is 2510 01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,440 Speaker 1: going to be must watch stuff. But if he is 2511 01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:36,440 Speaker 1: a little bit, if he still wants to get back 2512 01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:38,280 Speaker 1: into the league, and so that's going to cause him 2513 01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:41,320 Speaker 1: not to go quite as hard that I think will, 2514 01:57:41,600 --> 01:57:43,960 Speaker 1: that will neuter the ability of it to work. 2515 01:57:44,120 --> 01:57:46,880 Speaker 3: Right, it won't be great TV and the Mannings will 2516 01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:48,320 Speaker 3: have to push him and stuff like that. 2517 01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:50,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be like that. 2518 01:57:50,440 --> 01:57:54,360 Speaker 3: I will probably get some raw motion and to that effect, 2519 01:57:54,360 --> 01:57:57,880 Speaker 3: but you know again, otherwise I'll just watch the clips. 2520 01:57:57,920 --> 01:58:00,560 Speaker 2: I don't need to hear him for the entire quarter. 2521 01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:03,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know. It might be great. It 2522 01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:05,520 Speaker 1: really might be. And of course there's gonna be great stories, 2523 01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:08,879 Speaker 1: but probably told about the Colt Patriots rivalry. 2524 01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:09,440 Speaker 2: Oh I'm sure. 2525 01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:12,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's not the time I want to hear it, right, 2526 01:58:12,640 --> 01:58:14,240 Speaker 3: I don't want to hear the stories then while I'm 2527 01:58:14,280 --> 01:58:15,000 Speaker 3: watching the game. 2528 01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:16,920 Speaker 2: I prefer to hear them when I'm not watching the game. 2529 01:58:16,960 --> 01:58:18,880 Speaker 1: Well, it just depends if it's a down moment or 2530 01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:21,480 Speaker 1: if it's something that's relevant. All right, New York, Indiana, 2531 01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:23,879 Speaker 1: Big Time Game four? Who you got. 2532 01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:27,160 Speaker 3: Spread six and a half in favor of Indiana. Holi 2533 01:58:27,240 --> 01:58:29,240 Speaker 3: Burton is just two banged up. So what I'm gonna 2534 01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:30,960 Speaker 3: do is, I'm gonna take the Knicks BLUs up five 2535 01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,440 Speaker 3: and a half. I want to take the other two seventeen. 2536 01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:36,800 Speaker 3: Last game was two twenty seven. I believe was one sixteen, 2537 01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:39,360 Speaker 3: one eleven. They're making it a little bit lower than 2538 01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:42,800 Speaker 3: twenty one because the question mark about how a Burton. 2539 01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:46,000 Speaker 3: I just can't imagine that many points again. So I'll 2540 01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:47,480 Speaker 3: take the Knicks and I'll take the under. 2541 01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,760 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna take the Knicks to win the game. 2542 01:58:50,280 --> 01:58:55,000 Speaker 1: Denver Minnesota, Big time Game four on t at who 2543 01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:55,560 Speaker 1: you got. 2544 01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:57,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do Minnesota. I think they come out very 2545 01:58:59,040 --> 01:59:00,640 Speaker 3: pumped up in this one. I'll lay to two and 2546 01:59:00,680 --> 01:59:02,880 Speaker 3: a half and I'll go the over two o four 2547 01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:03,360 Speaker 3: and a half. 2548 01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Nuggets to say that even the 2549 01:59:05,080 --> 01:59:08,960 Speaker 1: series at two, you think Boston or Oklahoma City loses real. 2550 01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:10,720 Speaker 2: Fast, Dallas go with Dallas. 2551 01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,680 Speaker 1: All right, there it is.
