Watch one of his old teams play 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: right now, the Detroit Pistons, And you know, there's a 10 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: whole bunch of else I know. But honestly, though, when 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: I think of you, and I remember your career when 12 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: I was a kid watching the NBA, I think of 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 2: you as a Detroit Piston really the Clippers, not the Clippers. 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 2: I think of you as a Detroit Pistons. Okay, for 15 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: whatever reason, you do you good. I was a bad boy. 16 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: That's why. There you go, great on yourself, doing well, 17 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: doing well. So there's nobody better to talk about. You know, 18 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: the quote unquote new bad boys of Detroit. There's a 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: few people that have tried to term them, honestly, not 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: even closed. They gotta win something first, But this team 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 2: is kind of a rough and tone Pistons team. They're 22 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 2: gonna hold you, they're gonna fail you, they're gonna make 23 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: the ref call fouls. And you put that up to 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: another rough and topble Eastern Conference team in the Knicks, 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: and that's how you go end up with the score 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: where no one's scored eighty points with four minutes left 27 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: in the third quarter, which is a you know, closely 28 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: contested game. Two evenly matched teams were two stars kind 29 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: of struggling from the floor. And Brunton and in Kate Cunningham. 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: Oh definitely, and you know it's gonna be that way. 31 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 3: I mean, we can go back to the heydays of 32 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 3: Pistons and Knicks. As you mentioned, you know, guys were 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: a lot tougher and they were talented. So I don't 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: know if they trying to replicate that with the Pistons, 35 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: but they got a couple guys Isaiah's Stewart, Jal and Duran, 36 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: those guys. But I'm still not buying too much, only 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: because the lack of experience from the Pistons. But I 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a really good series and the 39 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: Knicks should win it. But I wouldn't be shocked if 40 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: the Pistons won it. 41 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: Al I actually like the Pistons in this series. I 42 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: think that now it's not necessarily proving true today as 43 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: Kate Cunningham has taken more shots than points scored, but 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: he took a major step forward this year, I think 45 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: in terms of being the type of player that can 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: be the best player on a winning team, Kate Cunningham did, 47 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: and I'd like to see Maybe this is just a 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: little bit of selfishness, because I'm ready to see some 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: new faces atop the mountaintop in the NBA, or you know, 50 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: necessarily just you know, some more people just as that 51 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: we can put up there as guys that we are 52 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: tuned into on a nightly basis. I hope Kate Cunningham 53 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: can show America that he should be one of those 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: guys in this series, which is why I think they'll 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: win this thing. 56 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: Well yeah, but the reason why you keep seeing the 57 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: same faces because they veteran teams, and that's the component 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 3: that is needed to win and sustain winning situations. Right, 59 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 3: you gotta have veteran leadership. You gotta have really good 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: older guys bottom line, not some old guy that just 61 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: happens to be on the team. But you gotta have 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: solid players, you know, all stars that are veterans because 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: they know and they've been in those situations. And again, 64 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 3: it's gonna take time. And the only way to get 65 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 3: experience is through experience. 66 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: Now, you know, we talking about it. Guys who have 67 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: veteran playoff experience. Luca Doncics has quite a bit, and 68 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: he has an old guy that happens to be on 69 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: his team, Lebron James. That dude's still he's still playing. 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: He is at a pretty high level, uh at for 71 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: that fact. But the right let's talk about that game 72 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: one that's coming up in about half an hour, the 73 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: Lakers and the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards in the in the 74 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals last year made a 75 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: big trade, right trade a Karl Anthony Towns to the 76 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: to the New York Knicks. Uh and then you had 77 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: or got Julius Randall on the get back, and then 78 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: you had Luka Doncics in Western Conference Finals last year 79 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: was part of the one of the biggest trades in 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: NBA history going to Los Angeles. So a team that's 81 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: very familiar with Luka Dancic, but Luka dancc on a 82 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 2: team that he's only been off for a few games, 83 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: not very familiar with in terms of the Tien versus the. 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: Mavericks, Oh definitely, you know, his first playoff series with 85 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 3: the Lakers. And one of the things that I've been 86 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: seeing and talking about is the fact that my apprehension 87 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: with the Lakers is that this is still relatively new. 88 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: It's one thing to deal with during the regular season. 89 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 3: You get traded. The shock was there, Luca was distraught, 90 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: he got over it, he started putting in some good numbers, 91 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: but we in up seven game playoff series and my again, 92 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: my apprehension is will he reverted back to natural instincts 93 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: of coming down jacking up forty footers like he did 94 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: in Dallas where they allowed that to happen as opposed 95 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: to being on the Lakers with the Lebron Austin Reeves, 96 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 3: Ruiyoshimura and of course JJ Reddick. 97 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: James. 98 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 3: Reg's been trying to show that he's gonna be a 99 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 3: you know, a coach that goes at his players. So 100 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: it is that gonna be allowed, and that's what I'm 101 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: waiting to see, you know, when the pressure gets tough. 102 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 3: How they gonna respect. 103 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: Because you make a good point. JJ did say at 104 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: the introductory I believe press conference for Luca that you know, 105 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: he asked them, how do you want to be coached? 106 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: And Luke, you know, can I coach you hard? Essentially? 107 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: And Luca was like, yeah, I'm all for it. But 108 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: that was like game sixty or so of the regular season. Right, 109 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: You're at the fifty fifth game of the regular season, right, 110 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: that's you know, that works when you're playing the Charlotte 111 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: Hornets and the Washington Wizards and the Portland Trail Plazers 112 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: and the like. But when you're up here and you're 113 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: looking at, you know, a star in his own right 114 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: Anthony Ewards on the other side of things, who is 115 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: just last postseason swept Kevin Durant and Devin Booker up 116 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: out of the postseason and then walked down on this 117 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets team that a lot of people were really 118 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: high on last year walk them down in Game seven 119 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: in the second round of the playoffs to advance to 120 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: the Western Conference Finals. He is gaining his bona fides 121 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: in the postseason. Obviously flamed out in the Western Conference Finals, 122 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 2: but hell, like you said, the only way you get 123 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: experience is by getting experienced. That was his longest playoffront 124 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: of his career. He is not planning or losing in 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: the first round. 126 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: No, not at all, because he's so cocky and he 127 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: said it too, he's verbalized it, and to me that 128 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: that can go one or two ways. But I enjoyed it. 129 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: When a guy, especially a guy that's gonna get the ball. 130 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: It's one thing if you're that guy like Anthony Edwards 131 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 3: and you make those statements, you're gonna be put in 132 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: that position. 133 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Right. 134 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 3: I don't want to hear from a guy that's not 135 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: playing all that he sets his teammates up or to 136 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 3: your point, Like even. 137 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: If you're a guy, like if you're gonna set your 138 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 2: teammates up to the tune of thirteen assists or feel fifteen, 139 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: it says, all right, cool, I get what you're saying, though, 140 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: because there is something that let me think Anthony Edwards 141 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: when he says something to you and then comes down 142 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: in dunks on you or hits a three in your face, 143 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: or does both seemingly at the same time, with the 144 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 2: way it's crazy athletics has EMSs. It hits a little 145 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: different than when Dylan Brooks is yepping at yes, because 146 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: he because Dylan Brooks, he might defend you or whatever, but 147 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: you know his game is not gonna be. There's not 148 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: gonna be He's not gonna take his game and beat you. 149 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: It's gonna be all the other stuff that all the 150 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: mental stuff, grabbing at your jersey, stepping on your foot, 151 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: like just messing with you, trying to throw you off 152 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: your game. Anthony Edwards don't need to mess with you. You 153 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: just pop up op crossover behind the back, three in 154 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: your eye exactly. 155 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: And that's what I was saying, because he's gonna have 156 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: the ball the majority of the time, and that's a 157 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: lot of pressure to put on people. The problem with 158 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: that the Lakers are gonna see is not only Anthony 159 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: Edwards coming at you being aggressive. And I think he 160 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: led the league in three point. 161 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: He did, but it was kind of funny actor how 162 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards went about it. So it was game eighty 163 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: two of the season, but Leak Beasley had the lead 164 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: when the Pistons finished their last game. He was a 165 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: sixth man right believe he's coming up the bench, had 166 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: the lead in three pointers made, and I think was 167 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: second and percentage. Anthony Edwards, of course, called on video 168 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: is petitioning the coach of Chris Finch, like I need 169 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: to go back and you see him holding up like 170 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: six is like six on his hands, like I need 171 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: six more pety five more to take the lead. 172 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 4: You see what Malik Beasley said about it. 173 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was like, if you want to tweeted it, yeah, 174 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 5: quote tweeted the video and he was like, man, you 175 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 5: can have it. 176 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: I don't care if you want. 177 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 3: That's that's Anthony Awards to his to the to the 178 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: point he's he does stuff like that, but he's that guy. 179 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 3: He's gonna step it up. 180 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: You know. 181 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: Okay, he played that game and he got so you 182 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: still have to perform. But to me, the key, Martin, 183 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 3: It's gonna be Julius Randall. 184 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: That's I was just about to say, because we have 185 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: three players that we can kind of set next level, 186 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: set expectation for. That's Lebron, James Luka, Doncis Anthony Edwards. 187 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: The fourth is Julius Randall. Julius Randall's going to be 188 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: the key for this series because it the only player 189 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: that I think the Lakers want, would want to have 190 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: on the court. The whole time that could guard Julius 191 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: Randall would be Lebron. Right, Like, that's not gonna happen. 192 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: I know, I'm just saying, but would want to. They'll 193 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: put Ruey Hatchimore on them, They'll put the other guys 194 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: on him, but the only guy that they would want 195 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: at all moments of the game would be Lebron. If 196 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 2: Julius Rendall can play to a level where he's gonna 197 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: like he has to play to a point where you 198 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 2: can't put Ruey Hotchimore on him or can't put Jackson 199 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: Hayes on him in down the stretch. That's what it's 200 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: gonna come down to for me, because I think Anthony Edwards, 201 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: when you look at the guys that are gonna guard him, 202 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: he we're looking at a smooth twenty seven to thirty 203 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: five points a game of range right there for Anthony 204 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: Edwards and a like a four to one matchup if 205 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: Julius Rendle doesn't show. 206 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely. But you know there's one more, one 207 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: more guy too, and no one's talking about. In the 208 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 3: last two weeks he's put up some exceptional numbers and 209 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: that's Rudy Gobert. I mean, you talking about defense, play 210 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: of the Year, shot block and Champ all that stuff, 211 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: So he's gonna be an X factor as well. So 212 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying. It's not a four gun conclusion 213 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: that the Lakers are gonna beat the Wolves. And I 214 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: don't know why people are thinking that. I get it, 215 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: you have Lebron and you have Luca, but the knock 216 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: on the Lakers have always been about defense, especially Luca Downtons, 217 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: and Lebron is picking his spots on when he decides 218 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: to play defense, so that's gonna be a problem. 219 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: That's why I say, if Randall can force Lebron to 220 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 2: have to defend for extended periods of time, if they 221 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 2: let him pick their spot. What Shannon always say, Lakers 222 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: are five. You know what I'm saying, like the way 223 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: he always says it. 224 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: Oh, if the referees referee like they did the clip 225 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: of Denver game calling all those files on hardening Jo 226 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: Kics mine good. 227 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: Some of that was ridiculous. You know what series I'm 228 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: already preemptively upset about they're going to officiate it the 229 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: Rockets and the Warriors. When that, when that watching this 230 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 2: that already, I'm already gonna be like, what are we 231 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: doing here? How is this shaking out? Right now? Looking 232 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: at this game, Jalen Brunson seems to have a bothered ankle. 233 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: He keeps limping a bit. That's not a great sign 234 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: before you even finish your first playoff game in the 235 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs with Jalen Brunson, who you 236 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,599 Speaker 2: know got hurt last postseason again, you know, limping a 237 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: little bit. He's still out there. He's not not. 238 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: Well, that's the ankle he hurt. Yeah, And now you 239 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 3: know why he came back right, Why to get those 240 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: sixty five games to be eligible? 241 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: He well, Hey, you know, when you take that contract 242 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 2: discount like you did earlier, you gotta make sure you 243 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: hit the incentives. Right. 244 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: Hey man, I don't know about that one. I'm not 245 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 3: giving nothing back. I ain't no discounts. 246 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: No, but I'm saying if you did, you might you 247 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: gotta get hit that cool, especially when you consider some 248 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: of the guys that don't qualify for the All NBA 249 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: Teams and all these awards just because they didn't hit 250 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 2: sixty five, where if they did it sixty five games, 251 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: they definitely would have qualified. Makes you think Piston's going 252 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: into the fourth quarter. Right now, with twenty and a 253 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: half seconds left in the third quarter, with an eight 254 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: point lead on the Knicks, I tell you Detroit would 255 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 2: be hype to win this.

Well, 276 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: in that time period, the Knicks evaporated the a point lead, 277 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 2: and then the Pistons now went on a run themselves 278 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: in which I saw Thompson just Ali you dun't and 279 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: won't top of Josh Hart the playoffs, man, Like I swear, 280 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: there's something special about the NBA Playoffs, especially when you 281 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: are getting really intense good matchups.

No you can't. It's the 315 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 2: same thing. I think it's happening in New Orleans right now. 316 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: I don't buy for one second the New Orleans Saints 317 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: are gonna draft your Door Sanders at the number ninth overall. Really, 318 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: I don't, just like I don't buy that they're gonna 319 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 2: Giants are gonna draft them at the third overall pick. 320 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: I think what we're seeing right now are two teams 321 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: that need a whole hell of a lot. The Giants 322 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: got organization on uh. 323 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: And before you continue huh, remember that's my team. I'm 324 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: not trying to knock them, so be gentle. 325 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: I'll be gentle, but I'll be truthful. So it may 326 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: be hard to be gentle. But you see the Giants, 327 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: they have a lot of holes on their roster. But 328 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: if the bones are there, you got a good left 329 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: tackle defense is okay, If you got above average quarterback play, 330 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: not crazy to think that you could finish with like 331 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: a five hundred like I think, and I think that 332 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: everybody in New York kind of sees that. And that's 333 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: why there's a lot of pressure right now because Joe 334 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 2: Shane and Brian day Ball they don't deliver for another year. 335 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: I think you could say all right, Sayonara, it's at 336 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: least one of the two. The Saints have been the 337 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: most mismanaged cap situation in the NFL. And if it 338 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: was a team like Dallas or San Francisco or Green Bay, 339 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 2: we would actually care about it. But because it's the Saints, 340 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: nobody does. I do. Being from New Orleans, they have 341 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: mismanaged that cap to the point where they have it's 342 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: gonna be about two to three years before the Saints 343 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 2: will even be able to feel or like re sign 344 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 2: their own good players again. Like it's gonna be like that. 345 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 2: So like the idea that you're drafting a rookie quarterback, no, no, no, 346 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: you need rookie players that are gonna come in and impact. 347 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 2: We've seen no trades made in this first round, oh none. 348 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: I think that what we see here is the Giants 349 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: and the Saints trying to convince somebody please come up 350 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 2: and get a quarterback one of these quarterback hungry teams. 351 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: If you want your Door Sanders, come get him. You 352 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: want Jackson Dart, you gotta come get it, because he's 353 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 2: not getting past nine. I think that's what we're she 354 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 2: in here. And I think that when we watched the 355 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: draft we'll watch your dors shandraws slide right on past 356 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: those guys. 357 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 3: Well, that's part of the whole draft, you know. He's 358 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 3: put out rumors themselves, you know, to make you, oh, man, hey, 359 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 3: we got to make a move. But you're right, something's 360 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: gonna I think something's gonna happen. It always does. It 361 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 3: may not be happening right now. And one of the 362 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 3: teams that's been mentioned is the Pittsburgh Steelers. 363 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 2: Yep. 364 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 3: And so to me, you know these things, you know, 365 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: and the Saints had that ninth spot. That's a nice 366 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 3: position to be in, you know. But again going back 367 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: with my Giants, it's like, we need Jesus. And I 368 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 3: know we need Jesus. And like you mentioned, the Giants 369 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 3: are in the same situation that the Denver Nuggets in 370 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: basketball are, and you know where something's gonna happen, and 371 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 3: it's gonna include involve both the general manager and the 372 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: head coach. 373 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. The only problem is, uh Giants didn't win that 374 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: championship that the Nuggets got under their belt. I will 375 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 2: say this, you need Jesus. I'm sorry that was that 376 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: was that was that was uncalled for. You said be 377 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: dental and that was not you said you need Jesus. 378 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if he can walk on water, but 379 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 2: Travis Hunter has proven that he can play cornerback and 380 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 2: of our receiver, which might be the next closest thing 381 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 2: on a football field to being able to actually, So 382 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 2: we were having this conversation when you walked in kind 383 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 2: of off the air. Number two overall pick. Let's assume 384 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: cam warts off the board. Tennessee Titans have picked him, 385 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: so that is gone. You have Hunter, you have Carter, 386 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: you have your giant fandom. Which one do you sit 387 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: there and say that's the right. 388 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: Move between Abdua Carter and Travis Hunter. 389 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: Or the field at the second overall pick you anybody 390 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: but the first one. 391 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 3: Okay, Abdual Carter is a great player. The only reason 392 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 3: I pick Travis Hunter is because it's New York City 393 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 3: and I need to make a splash. 394 00:19:59,280 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: Okay. 395 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: And then so hope he can't walk on water. Then, 396 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: and the fact that flash they said will allow him 397 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: to play on both sides, because he's already said it. 398 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: I want to play both sides of the ball in 399 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 3: my NFL career. Good luck to you, young man, But 400 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 3: I don't know the last guy that's done it. I 401 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: have to go back and research mode. 402 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: But then it might be his coach Dion to do 403 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: it at the most consistent level. 404 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 3: But consistent, and he just he did it consistently at Colorado. 405 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 3: So those are my guys right now, should do it. 406 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: I honestly think Shador might drop like drop drop, like 407 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 3: Geno Smith, you think. 408 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: Your door's got to get a hotel room in Green Bay. 409 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 7: He's not going to not go though. He's not going 410 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 7: through the draft. But if you, I'm too I'm too 411 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 7: large for that. I guess there's a lot of young 412 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 7: fellas a razy right man. Oh the play empowerments insane. 413 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: I do know this if I had the opportunity to 414 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: get drafted, and maybe this is me looking back at 415 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 2: thirty five years old. You know, maybe if I was 416 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: that age, I wouldn't feel the same way. I want 417 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: to caalk across the stage and shake somebody's head. I 418 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: want to do it, of course I want to do it. 419 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 2: I feel like that's like doing a radio show, a 420 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: weekly radio show at not going to radio Row for 421 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: the super Bowl, Like you want to get at least 422 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: do it once, right, I gotta at. 423 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: Least do it once and you only get drafted once 424 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 3: exactly something else that keeps coming. Yeah, I can see that. 425 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 3: Come on, man, this is the draft because I know 426 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 3: what the dumb quote's going to be.

And now you're saying you're not going. 429 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: Why mom, man, that's too much empowerment. 430 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 2: Too much empowerment.

This 475 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 2: is something that has changed in the NBA since the 476 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: time where you were through the league, and I want 477 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: to know how you feel about the concept of the 478 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: play in tournament in general, Like do you are you 479 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 2: in on that? Do you not like it? Dislike it? 480 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 2: Where do you land on the play in tournament in general? 481 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: Well, it's the same as the in season tournament. I 482 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 3: thought it was all the money grab. You know, the 483 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 3: NBA is good at that, you know, figure out a 484 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 3: way to make something valuable, and that's what they did. 485 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 3: I personally don't like it because I came up in 486 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: that situation where you know, you work to you know, 487 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 3: the top eight seeds got in and that was it. 488 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 3: And I'm okay with that. But again, I can't be 489 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 3: the old guy form a player, as you know, boo 490 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 3: who about everything that's new and the game is supposed 491 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 3: to evolve, and this is another evolution of the game 492 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 3: to play in. It's added a lot more excitement for 493 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 3: two meaningless positions. So again I'm impressed with what the 494 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 3: NBA has done to make this seem more valuable for me. 495 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 2: I anything that made the regular season matter more I 496 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: was in for. And so for the play in tournament. 497 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: The concept of avoiding the play in for the you 498 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 2: know that five six and even hell in the Western 499 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: Conference all the way up to the three seed, or 500 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 2: to avoid the play in in that last month of 501 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: the season, I'm all in. The thing that I wish 502 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: was a little different with it. I wish that there 503 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: was a trigger, like you should be. You should have 504 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 2: to be at least four games back from the sixth 505 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 2: seed to trigger a play in tournament. I don't need 506 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 2: to see like the lamellow ball Charlotte Hornets in the 507 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 2: play I don't need, you know, I don't need that, 508 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I don't need some of 509 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: the some of these Eastern Conference ones that have been 510 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: really real that tenth team is scraping the bottom of 511 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 2: the barrel, Like could you imagine if we had seen 512 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: this year's Phoenix Son star Power Shore. But this year's 513 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 2: Phoenix Sons were a disaster. They did not deserve the 514 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: opportunity to knock to not even have a playoff game. 515 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: No, I like that. I really do like that. That trigger. 516 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense, And if you're nowhere 517 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 3: near it, you should not. 518 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 2: That's it. 519 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 3: Then the teams just settle into those spots and it 520 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 3: would still be exciting because people are like trying to 521 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 3: get to that game that number that's the trigger, and 522 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 3: so it still has a lot of drama involved with 523 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 3: and I do like that. 524 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 2: One one of the things that made me think of 525 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: this was watching last night's playoff game. Play in game 526 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies, because as the Knicks 527 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 2: go on a fifteen to oh run in three minutes 528 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 2: to take a seven point lead, one to five to 529 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: ninety eight with six minutes left in the game. But 530 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: watching the Mavericks and Grizzlies last night, it mattered a 531 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: whole lot to those Mavericks players that were on the court. 532 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: It was important for them to go out there, important 533 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: for them to compete. It was important for them to 534 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: go beat like try the best, to go and earn 535 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 2: the right to get their heads kicked in by Oklahoma City, 536 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 2: because that's what was gonna happen, right, But I was 537 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: really for some guys who were put in terrible situations. 538 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 2: The like Anthony Davis is a Hall of Fame player, 539 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: He's an NBA champion. Klay Thompson is a Hall of 540 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: Fame player, He's an NBA champion. Right, these are guys 541 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: that have real life, bona fide pelts on the wall. 542 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 2: It meant something to me to watch them go out 543 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: there and compete in a game that like they have 544 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 2: no chance of winning the championship. But it was like, 545 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: I'm doing this to put this on my name, right, 546 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 2: because the way that people have been talking about my team, 547 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 2: the way that people have been talking about us as 548 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: an organization, I don't like it. And that's the way 549 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: it felt for me. And if that's we're watching Anthony 550 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: Davis go back out there, especially after you know, his 551 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 2: knee bothering him and he saw it was too much 552 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: for him to continue. But to go back out there 553 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: in that game, that meant something to me. And that's 554 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 2: why I like these single elimination playing games. 555 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: I do like it. And again, I'm with you. I'm gonna, 556 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 3: you know, keep talking about that sugar that you mentioned. 557 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, I was impressed with Dallas as well because 558 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 3: this might have been the most bizarre season ever or 559 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 3: mid season because that's when everything happened. 560 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: You know. 561 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 3: I feel bad for Niko Harrison because he's getting all 562 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 3: the blame right now, but people got to understand something. 563 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: He's not make that move unless ownership right say okay, 564 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 3: and there was a reason behind it. I'm still trying 565 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: to figure out what the actual reason is. But it's tough. 566 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 3: But you know, those guys went out, they went out fighting. 567 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: You know. I mean, we're not giving you know, trophies, 568 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 3: you know for close but it said a lot about 569 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 3: them though, as as people. 570 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: That's you know, that's what it was. And we set 571 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 2: up exactly and we sit up here and we hear 572 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: people talk about the problems with the NBA and how 573 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 2: guys don't care and our guys want to sit out 574 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 2: and loads manament this and that. I think a lot 575 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: of it is overblown. I think a lot of it 576 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: was true maybe six seven years ago, but I think 577 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 2: a lot of it is overblown. I think it's disproven 578 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 2: by a lot of the younger players that we have 579 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 2: in this league, who play every game, who play defense. 580 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: But to me, watching that it was just a reminder 581 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: that like, sure, if you don't watch the end and 582 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: you just hear the talking points, so like, yeah, I 583 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: get it where you can sell it, but you can't 584 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: watch that game yesterday which was a not a close 585 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: matchup and tell me that those guys don't care. Yeah, no, 586 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: you're right, You're absolutely right. 587 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,239 Speaker 3: So it's good, And I'm glad you brought that up 588 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 3: about the load management stuff because it's it's kind of 589 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 3: the overblown kind of thing. And we didn't have load 590 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: management because we all wanted to play. But again, we're 591 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 3: in this new era of the NBA. But the guy 592 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: that's mostly associated with load management is Kawhi Leonard. But 593 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 3: people forget that Kawhi Leonard was actually injured. So that's 594 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: why I give him a pass all the time because 595 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 3: he had some serious injuries. You know, there's some I 596 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 3: don't like when a guy is healthy and he sits out, you. 597 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 2: Know, And I would say, what would you say you 598 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 2: were drafted in nineteen eighty seven, what would you say 599 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 2: was the average length of NBA careers from that in 600 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 2: that time period? 601 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 3: Oh, we're all playing. Guys were playing. I'm saying about 602 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: eight ten minimum, eight to ten years, that's what. 603 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: And I think that we missed that because I that's 604 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: what eight to ten years. I say, eight to twelve 605 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: years feels like a sweet spot for a professional athlete career. 606 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 2: And when you're we're looking at the guys who are 607 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 2: load managing, there are guys in your fifteen, in your sixteen, Like, 608 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: you're not supposed to be starting in the NBA in 609 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 2: year sixteen. Like if we go back twenty years ago, 610 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: the guys who were in year sixteen were not impact 611 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 2: players on roster, not close, not even close. They're essentially 612 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: holding clipboards just wearing shorts right like that, Like that's 613 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 2: we're So the league is different now and that's a 614 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 2: big part of the reason why guys have played for 615 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: a very long time. But I just think you can't 616 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 2: watch those games. And we saw John Moran taking two 617 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 2: injections in his ankle to then go out there and 618 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: then beat that Mavericks team that this doesn't matter to 619 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 2: these guys. Coming up next, we'll see if the Pistons 620 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 2: decide to score again, because it's been about four and 621 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 2: a half minutes and they are been stuck on ninety 622 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: eight one seven ninety eight to score five minutes left 623 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: in the game. As Josh Hart lays the ball in 624 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: uh Detroit, it's time to wake up. Coming up next, though, 625 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: we saw history and it's not just twenty almost twenty 626 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: to nothing run going on right now. We saw another 627 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 2: mark a futility in the history books. We'll get to that. 628 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: Coming up next. Martin Weiss's Old and Poloniese, Fox Swords Radio. 629 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: Don't listen to Fox Sports Radio Radio coming. 630 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: To you live and the Tireck dot Com studios as 631 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: Martin Weiss an Old and Polonese and an NBA Playoffs 632 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 2: Sunday playoffs have Saturday, rather, any of the playoffs have started, 633 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: and it's started with you know, genuinely, when you hear 634 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: this song down for him, it's generally like a fight 635 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: can break out automatically, and a fight broke out this 636 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: morning or this afternoon. In the first NBA playoff game 637 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 2: where the Indiana Pacers took the Milwaukee Bucks behind the 638 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: woodshed and said, wah wah wah wah wah. Giannis had 639 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 2: thirty six points let all scores. No other Milwaukee Buck 640 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: had more than fifteen points. No boy than milwalking by 641 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: the other fifteen points, including but not limited to Kyle Kuzma, 642 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 2: who put up a stat line of zero, zero, zero, zero, 643 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 2: and zero. The only stats that Kyle Kuzma had were 644 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 2: missed shots, minutes played twenty two missshots and fouls in 645 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 2: today's game. 646 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 3: That he had the same exact stats as me outside 647 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 3: a minute played. I'm I'm impressed. I ain't played in 648 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 3: twenty years. Docs insane to me. 649 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: Doc Rivers after the game said, it's hard to score 650 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: when you don't touch the ball. Ok, I got two 651 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: shots in the first half, both with two seconds on 652 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 2: the shot clock. Who's looking play but we got to 653 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 2: involve them and make sure we keep them involved. My question, though, 654 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 2: my question know this ALDA, what play did they have 655 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 2: to call for you to get a rebound? Uh? 656 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 3: None, I didn't want plays. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna 657 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 3: go get my own points, offensive rebound out. Everybody knew 658 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 3: when I got an office rebound, it was not coming out. 659 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 3: So don't even go clap, don't do nothing. It's going 660 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 3: back up. But Kyle was insaying that that last game 661 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: of the season when he played the first half before 662 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 3: he went into street clothes, when he came down and 663 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 3: just launched three pointers. 664 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: So don't do it. 665 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 3: Now, you're a basketball player. You know how to play 666 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 3: this game. If you're not getting shots, create your own shots. 667 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 3: Like you said, go get a rebound, go do something. 668 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 3: You have zero in the all the major statistic statistical categories. 669 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: That's an insane stat that's insane to me at six. 670 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: Eight and you're looking at a guy who Damian Lillard 671 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 2: obviously mythed today's game, but expected to come back, per 672 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: Shan for Game two or three, so the series could 673 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 2: even up a bit. Right as we're sitting here talking 674 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 2: about a game in which was one, fifteenth and ninety 675 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 2: eight or something ridiculous like that. It was not even 676 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 2: that close when we were sitting there actually watching it. 677 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 2: But Kyle Kus was third on the Bucks and scoring. 678 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 2: You're looking at this for your next guy, right, you 679 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 2: have Giannis and Dame Lillard. Those are two guys you 680 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 2: pretty much have a good expectation of what they can 681 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 2: deliver in the playoffs. Dame you'll tamper it or temperate 682 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 2: a little bit saying he's probably out of shape, right 683 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 2: and see how he's able to deliver but at his best, 684 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 2: seeing him take and make huge playoff shots. You're looking 685 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: at another guy of Kuzma, Bobby Porters or Brook Lopez 686 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: to be your third option offensively for that Milwaukee Bucks team. 687 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 2: This they're dead men walking in my opinion, against the Pacers. 688 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: Against the Pacers, yeah, I believe so. 689 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 3: And you know they got they got that guy sitting 690 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 3: on the bench, you know, whose track record is notorious 691 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 3: for choking and losing three. 692 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 2: To one leads. 693 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 3: So not that they're gonna get a three one lead, 694 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 3: but I just don't think they have you know enough, 695 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 3: and you're right when you look at who's my third score, 696 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 3: that's tough. You know, Bobby Porters, you know, he set 697 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 3: out all those games because suspension it Wow, Kuzma has 698 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: to be the guy. And what he did today actually 699 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 3: that might work in the Bucks favor because can he 700 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 3: play any worse? 701 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 2: It's gonna be very hard. 702 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 3: Anything he does next game is a major improvement. 703 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 2: It should. Guys. 704 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 5: Remember they traded Chris Middleton for Kuzma too, so oh yeah, 705 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 5: that's really they got rid of to bring him in. 706 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well, I mean this box score honestly, and 707 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 2: I don't mean this to sound disrespectful to the players 708 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: on the Bucks, but when you look at a high 709 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 2: school box score, you know, seriously, you look at a 710 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 2: high school box score of a guy, and where's like 711 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 2: a team that's got one guy that's like going to 712 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 2: Duke and everybody else is going to you know, college, 713 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 2: just four years of study, going to Microsoft right right 714 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 2: right there. Yet exactly you look at twenty three shots 715 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 2: for you, honest, thirty six points. The next closest scorer 716 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 2: was aj Green with fifteen who happened to hit five threes. 717 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's like they're the guys who 718 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 2: also scored for them were not bucket getters. It was 719 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 2: Gary Trent Junior with fourteen because he hit two threes. 720 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 2: AJ Green hit five threes. That's who he gets your 721 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 2: fifteenth and the second highest score. They don't have guys 722 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,720 Speaker 2: to break down off the dribble besides Kevin Porter Junior, 723 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: and good luck with that. 724 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: But you know what really upset me watching that game 725 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 3: you mentioned AJ Green, He missed a couple of shots. 726 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 3: One of them in particular, I was like dumbfounded. He 727 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 3: was about thirty seven thirty eight feet from the basket 728 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 3: and no lift, nothing, and he missed it. And then 729 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,320 Speaker 3: they come down he should misses another one on the 730 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 3: left side. But my point is this, he and the 731 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 3: rest of the Bucks, It's like, do you guys know 732 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 3: that there's other ways to score? They just kept jacking 733 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 3: up three pointers, And to me, that's where I'm just 734 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 3: dumbfounded by these people.

So whey 774 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 2: that tire buying should be watching the JB bickerstaff right 775 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 2: now go through his postgame press conference. JB and the 776 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons. I mean, how do you view that when 777 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 2: we just saw because I already have my framing of 778 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 2: it the way I saw it, but that's also heavily 779 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 2: influenced by the team I thought was going to win 780 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,919 Speaker 2: the game ahead of time. Is that a Piston's melt 781 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 2: down or a Knicks comeback? 782 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 3: In your eyes, meltdown? Pistons meltdown playing and simple bottom line. 783 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 3: I mean, the Knicks were not playing that great. And 784 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 3: the funny thing about it is the run they made 785 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 3: was nothing but layups, layups, layups, And so to me, 786 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 3: that's a meltdown of the Pistons because your defense just 787 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 3: let you down. So that's coaching right there. I'm gonna 788 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 3: get some guys in there, that's gonna do it. I 789 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 3: have an eleven point lead. I'm not gonna just you know, 790 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,479 Speaker 3: sometimes they get so in love with guys and I'm like, dude, 791 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 3: why do you have the rest of the players on 792 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:38,479 Speaker 3: your team? 793 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, you know, it was a tough one to 794 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:46,239 Speaker 2: watching this twenty one point run. The Pistons were out 795 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 2: scored in the fourth quarter forty to twenty one. That's nuts. 796 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 2: That's not gonna get it done. Forty to twenty one. 797 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 2: So Jalen Brunson, you know, ankle injury be damned. He 798 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 2: was lipping around there. Thirty four points on twenty seven shots. 799 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 2: Pretty decent night. Disappointed a bit, and I know it's 800 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 2: his first game out there, and he did have a 801 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 2: double double. I mean, twenty one, twelve and six, there 802 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 2: is nothing, nothing to sneeze at. But with the struggles 803 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 2: that Kate Cunningham had offensively in the first half, I 804 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 2: honestly would have liked to see a little a few 805 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 2: more than twenty one shots taken by him on this team, 806 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 2: with the with the offense that they have. 807 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 3: Well, again, it's his first playoff series, so it's gonna 808 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 3: he's gonna be affected a little bit. I mean, there's 809 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 3: some nerves, and right justified nerves because you've never been 810 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. You don't know what to think. But 811 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 3: like we always used to say, the gettable game on 812 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 3: the road is game one, yep. So now adjustments are 813 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 3: gonna be made. So but Kate Cunningham, I mean, you 814 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 3: an All Star. You have to step up and show 815 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 3: why you were an All Star. But then again, I 816 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 3: could make the argument, yeah, you know, throughout the season 817 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 3: you are playing Toronto the Wizards. Now you're playing a 818 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 3: defensive juggernaut. Even though they didn't really play well, I mean, 819 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 3: they did enough to win, especially on that twenty one 820 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 3: old run. 821 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 2: I'm sorry old and I didn't mean to not hear 822 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 2: what you just said, But I just watched Anthony Edwards 823 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,799 Speaker 2: put Ruey Hotchimoora on his butt. Oh my goodness, Hey, 824 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 2: oh my gosh. And then Gay Vincent was like, no, no, no, 825 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 2: don't worry. I got you. This is not going to 826 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 2: be a top ten player. I'm gonna foul him before 827 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 2: he can dunkle over everybody. Because that's what was headed forward. 828 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 3: I thought it was halftime. I thought they were breakdancing. 829 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 2: I mean, Ruey Hottimora all of a sudden, you know 830 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 2: when your hand listen, when your hand reaches back and 831 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: hits the ground pre butt, that's a bad one. And 832 00:43:54,680 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened there for Ruey Hotchama Band. But calves. 833 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 2: But it illustrates something that we talked about in the 834 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 2: first hour of this show. Who is supposed to stay 835 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 2: in front of Anthony Edwards in this series? Because we're 836 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 2: six minutes in and we've already seen one spill clean 837 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 2: up on our Hachimurra. 838 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 3: We're gonna see a lot more because he's coming. But again, 839 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 3: you know, I think the Lakers should win this series. 840 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 3: But again, it's gonna be interesting. 841 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 2: It is gonna be interesting right now, we're looking at us, 842 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 2: let's go through it real quick. Obviously just getting started. 843 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 2: But uh, interestingly enough, Minnesota already playing two people off 844 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 2: the band. I find that kind of fascinating that Niles 845 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 2: Reed's already seen minutes in this game for Rudy Gobert 846 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,279 Speaker 2: and Dante DiVincenzo, a guy with playoff experience on this 847 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 2: Minnesota team out there now. But talking about that because 848 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,919 Speaker 2: you've you've mentioned it a few times today, and I'm 849 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 2: sure you'll mention it a few times tomorrow, and I 850 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 2: know for a fact you'll mention it throughout the next 851 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 2: few weeks, the importance of playoff experience, the importance of 852 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 2: having been there before. We just saw a team that 853 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 2: hadn't made the playoffs since twenty nineteen give up a 854 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 2: twenty one to run twenty one to zero run at 855 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 2: the worst possible time that it could have, right, And 856 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 2: we were sitting here talking about it as it was happening, 857 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 2: and you said, this game can be tied in ninety seconds. Now. 858 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 2: Didn't end up that way, but we both knew that 859 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 2: because you have a lot of experience playing in the NBA. Meek, 860 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 2: I'm about thirty five years were watching it on TV, 861 00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 2: so I knew that these games not over just quite yet. 862 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 2: But the Pistons weren't able to deliver there. How much 863 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,760 Speaker 2: of that would you say? Like, and just in general, 864 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:55,720 Speaker 2: how much is that experience when moments like that twenty 865 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 2: one to run run is occurring? His experience? What cuts 866 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 2: it from a twenty one run to ten to zero run? 867 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying is that, like, how is 868 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 2: it manifest itself in games? 869 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 3: The thing people need to understand is this. When the 870 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,080 Speaker 3: Pistons went on the offensive run, it had nothing to 871 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:20,359 Speaker 3: do with coaching. It was just energy. They just went 872 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 3: on a run, built the lead. But when the Knicks 873 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,919 Speaker 3: were going on the run and they ran it even 874 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 3: once it got to like ten twelve, coaching has to 875 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 3: come into play. Jamie bikersif has said, okay, all up, now, 876 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,720 Speaker 3: let me look at my lineup, let me look. 877 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:38,959 Speaker 2: At my pad. 878 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,640 Speaker 3: What plays do I have? I need a basket right 879 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 3: about now? I need a basket. What play do I 880 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,360 Speaker 3: have in my playbook that I could run that's gonna 881 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 3: guarantee us a basket? Or what can I say to 882 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 3: my plays? What player can I pull off my bench, 883 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 3: that's gonna give us a point. None of that happened, 884 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. So it's some things to players 885 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 3: handle and other things the coaches have to handle, and 886 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 3: he didn't do any of that. Jamie Bickerstaff. It's just 887 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 3: as much as fault as the players, because at the 888 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 3: end of the day, you know, you out there playing 889 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 3: defense and you just getting lay up after lay up 890 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 3: after layup. But then I go back to my argument, well, 891 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,720 Speaker 3: if these guys are not defending, let me get somebody 892 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 3: in that will defend. 893 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody on the team is getting paid, you 894 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, everybody. And I think you know, 895 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 2: you made the point earlier about Steve Kerrn the Warriors, 896 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,919 Speaker 2: and it's a team that you know, through the first 897 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 2: fifty games of the season probably cost them, will definitely 898 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: cost them some playoff positioning at this point. That's why 899 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 2: they got that series that they got coming up. But 900 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 2: have you favorites in the series much like the Lakers 901 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,320 Speaker 2: are heavy favorites in the series here per your sportsbooks. 902 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 2: But they throughout the first fifty games of the season, 903 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,400 Speaker 2: got guys with a ton of run. They got they 904 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 2: were running basically playing ten players almost you knowational minutes. 905 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 2: And now you see guys in big games like Quinton Post, 906 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 2: like Gee Santos, Yes, right, and most NBA franchise, most 907 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:17,240 Speaker 2: NBA locker rooms, you're living and dying with Jonathan Kaminga 908 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 2: because those other guys never got on the court. They're 909 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,040 Speaker 2: just practice players essentially. And Jonathan Kamena getting seeing d 910 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 2: npcds would not be happening, you know what I'm saying. 911 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 2: He would be getting tick out there if he was 912 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 2: playing for another team that did not have the early 913 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 2: season out record wise, didn't this rearly work out, but 914 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 2: development wise worked out big for the Warriors. 915 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 3: Oh definitely. And I love that about them. They will 916 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,839 Speaker 3: play everybody in the regular season in meaningful games as well, 917 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 3: not just garbage time. No, Steve Kerr puts them in 918 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 3: on big games and it's like, hey, I need you 919 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 3: guys to experience this because if we lose, you're still 920 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 3: gaining experience. And a lot of these other coaches they 921 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 3: don't do that. You know, the Knicks are gonna have 922 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 3: a problem if they get in foul trouble because they 923 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 3: only play six guys only play Yeah, that's about it. 924 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 2: And we saw last postseason, we're looking at guys like 925 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 2: Alec Burk's having twenty point playoff games for the Knicks, 926 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 2: and you're looking like, oh, I didn't even know he 927 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 2: played for the Knicks. I thought he was still in Utah. 928 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,799 Speaker 2: What's happening here? Now? 929 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 5: This? 930 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 2: Right now, we're looking at an interesting lineup out there 931 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 2: for the Timberwolves in this Lakers matchup, because this is 932 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,840 Speaker 2: kind of like their double big lineup out here that 933 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,240 Speaker 2: I feel like has a little bit more shooting because 934 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,440 Speaker 2: you have nas Reed out there and Rudy Gobert. Obviously 935 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 2: Gobert a non shooter, nas Reed can knock down outside 936 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 2: shots in a big way. We said Randall's the X 937 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 2: factor here. If Randal's the X factor, to me, nas 938 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 2: Reed's the wi fi at. 939 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,320 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely no. And that's another guy literally, I 940 00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 3: honestly forgot about now let's read. And that's insane to 941 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 3: have a guy like that, and they can play him 942 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,920 Speaker 3: with go bet because he's gonna stretch the floor out 943 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 3: and go back and still man the middle. And you know, 944 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 3: and this lineup has actually made the run. And so 945 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 3: to me, you know, if it wasn't for that Luca 946 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 3: three and in a mid range, you know, the Timberwolves 947 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 3: would be either tied or ahead. 948 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be because I think that that's what's 949 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 2: gonna end up having to be the case. That's watsonasried 950 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 2: just throw on off the backboard. Three didn't exactly make 951 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 2: me sound great. Hate when they do that, but I 952 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 2: think like between those two guys, that's what's gonna be 953 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,479 Speaker 2: the key for Minnesota. Extend this series, to make it long, 954 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 2: because that's the thing that the Lakers are lacking. It's 955 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 2: they have plenty of guys who are tall enough with 956 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 2: really long arms, but they don't really have big men 957 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 2: out there. 958 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 3: No, they don't. And you know Jackson Hayes case in point, 959 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 3: But where is Jackson Hayes right now? Is he gonna 960 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:01,960 Speaker 3: play in this series? 961 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 2: So to me, the bench. 962 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, And so again they're gonna ride out this kind 963 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 3: of lineup, you know, Lebronchimura, Dorrian Finney Smith and so 964 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 3: to me, it's I mean, they gotta do that. They 965 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,479 Speaker 3: gotta make threes. If they're not making shots, they're gonna 966 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 3: have a problem. So again, I think this is gonna 967 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 3: be a long series. It's not gonna be four zero 968 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,719 Speaker 3: four to one. Yeah, I saw that was a common pick. 969 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 2: I also thought that this was gonna be at least 970 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 2: a six game series just off the strength that Anthony 971 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 2: Ewards is gonna have a forty five point output in 972 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,320 Speaker 2: one of these things, probably Game three or four. And 973 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 2: they're just the Timber will have a lot of talent 974 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 2: and you know, not as much experience as a Lebron James. Sure, 975 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 2: but you know they did again acquit themselves very nicely 976 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 2: in last year's postseason. 977 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,399 Speaker 5: To that point, though about experience, how do you guys 978 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 5: quantify the guys who've been here before and how much 979 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,960 Speaker 5: that means in the playoffs? Because you got, like, probably 980 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,720 Speaker 5: the best team in the NBA right now is the Thunder, 981 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 5: who we can all agree are lacking an experience. So 982 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 5: what do you weigh more talent or experience when when 983 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 5: we get to playoff time? Because are the Thunder good 984 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 5: enough to win? Are they experience enough to win? They're 985 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 5: clearly good enough. 986 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,920 Speaker 3: They're definitely good enough to win. And then the experience 987 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,399 Speaker 3: comes in in like certain situations. Okay, if I'm down ten, 988 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 3: what do I do now? Okay, because now all of 989 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 3: a sudden, the talent is not the issue. It's what 990 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 3: plays am I running, what schemes am I running? How 991 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,359 Speaker 3: do I get cut into this lead? And that's where 992 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 3: the experience comes in. So again, talent, you know, talent 993 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,320 Speaker 3: is talent. You know, it's like, if you have talent, 994 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 3: it will most likely beat everything else. 995 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 4: There comes a point where you just have too much time. 996 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so to me, if you have a combination 997 00:52:54,840 --> 00:53:00,160 Speaker 3: of talent and experience, those are the championship teams to 998 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 3: that point. 999 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,719 Speaker 2: Coming up at what are we gonna do this?

Martin Weise joined 1024 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 2: here by Olden Polonies, who is hooting and hollering at 1025 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,840 Speaker 2: the studio right now. You know, this is what I 1026 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,800 Speaker 2: can appreciate about you. You don't have a winning interest 1027 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,279 Speaker 2: in this series. No, you just want a good ball, right. 1028 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 2: I want good basketball all day, every day. So that 1029 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 2: was how my dad was watching games as well, and 1030 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:47,520 Speaker 2: I could appreciate the dueling. Oh and whenever somebody does anything, 1031 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 2: do you know what I'm saying? Like sometimes you sit 1032 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,279 Speaker 2: there watching the game and it's like, oh man, nas 1033 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 2: read hit a three. Damn, what are we gonna do now? No? No, no, 1034 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,920 Speaker 2: no no. It's every time it's like my dad was 1035 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,320 Speaker 2: a face in somebody's face. 1036 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 3: I love good basketball, man, and I hate bad basketball. 1037 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 2: I am with you, my friend, I am with you. Absolutely. 1038 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 2: Let's take a turn to the upcoming NFL draft. It 1039 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 2: is shortly approaching. I cannot wait for the draft for 1040 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 2: if no other reason, we can stop saying who's gonna 1041 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,839 Speaker 2: get picked where it start actually talking about where guys 1042 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 2: are gonna fit act. It's like the leaves changing on 1043 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 2: the calendar. You know, we're getting closer and closer to football. 1044 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 2: But Pooka Nakua, who has had a very busy offseason 1045 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:39,399 Speaker 2: in terms of just podcasting everywhere's you know, in fact, 1046 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday, Pooki if you're available. But he was 1047 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:49,279 Speaker 2: on Julian Edelman's podcast Games with Names talking for some 1048 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 2: reason about the forty nine ers contract situation with their quarterback. 1049 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 2: Is he gonna get a five? I don't think so. 1050 00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,520 Speaker 2: Do you think he's gonna go with a four? It's 1051 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:04,440 Speaker 2: gonna start with a four? Yeah, high four? No, I 1052 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 2: think mid for forty five. I think so. 1053 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:08,840 Speaker 9: I mean, I think if he does that, that'd be 1054 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 9: smart for him and them. Yeah, I mean, I think 1055 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 9: he's he seems like a smart guy. I think he 1056 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,680 Speaker 9: like there's still they have a chance to still be 1057 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 9: in their window. And I think if if he goes 1058 00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:20,840 Speaker 9: for a five, that the window closes. 1059 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 2: Now there's a lot here. My first thought was, that's 1060 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 2: insanity to hear somebody like Phoknnakua is on this rookie deal. 1061 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 2: He's gonna play the forty nine years at least five 1062 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,439 Speaker 2: more times in his career guaranteed before he reaes up again. 1063 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 2: He's like, they're gonna see each other, They're gonna play 1064 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 2: against each other. That's nuts. I feel like that's a 1065 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 2: due podcast. The era guys were not talking about contracts 1066 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,280 Speaker 2: like that at your time. 1067 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 3: Though not somebody else's right your own, sure, but I 1068 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,640 Speaker 3: don't know what what Brock Prody's gonna do. You don't 1069 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 3: know anything, And I love who can the coop, but 1070 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 3: it's like, no, that's that's overstepping a little bit. So 1071 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 3: I don't know if that was more for clickbait or what, 1072 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 3: but that that is to. 1073 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:13,760 Speaker 2: Me that professional athletes were kind of in this thing together. 1074 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 2: You get paid more, then I can get paid more, 1075 00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 2: then we all can get paid more. Like the rising 1076 00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 2: different positions, two different positions. 1077 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 4: Either if we start saying, like, hey, what do you 1078 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 4: think Rob Parker's next contract is going to be? 1079 00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, you know, you think not worth the 1080 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,280 Speaker 2: twenty five percent bump? Like what Rob gets a seven year, 1081 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 2: twelve dollars deal. So taking but okay, So that's one 1082 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 2: layer of the onion's appeal. But the next one is 1083 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 2: do you agree with this assessment that if you pay 1084 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,360 Speaker 2: rock pretty a number that starts with a five average 1085 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,800 Speaker 2: annual value in that contract, that for not his window 1086 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 2: goes close, not at all. 1087 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 3: I mean, all these teams are over paying guys. Let 1088 00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 3: the young man get his money. 1089 00:57:58,880 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 6: You know. 1090 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 3: One think I've never done is pocket watch. You know, 1091 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 3: I don't care. It's like, I've never understood why they 1092 00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:10,040 Speaker 3: put all athletes dollar amounts publicly. 1093 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,120 Speaker 2: You know, they don't do it. And I actually did that. 1094 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 3: I did research and I was putting all these media 1095 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 3: people all day salaries, all their salaries, and they got 1096 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 3: mad at me. I'm like, well you're doing it to athletes. Well, hey, 1097 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 3: these days, all you gotta do is google Stephen A. 1098 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,520 Speaker 2: Smith's salary. You can see that he's making more than 1099 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 2: your third string cornerback. But but I do wonder this, Okay, So, 1100 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 2: and I fundamentally don't have an issue with guys getting 1101 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,600 Speaker 2: their money. Like, if somebody was to pay roperty, I'm 1102 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 2: fine with it. I think it would be a bad 1103 00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 2: idea for the forty nine ers to do. So do 1104 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,960 Speaker 2: you feel like those two ideas can live mutually outside 1105 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 2: of themselves. 1106 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 3: Yes, because I think he's earned it. Okay, he's earned it. 1107 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,360 Speaker 3: You know, people talk bad about block Party and all, well, 1108 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,400 Speaker 3: he's a system quarterback this but he kept them afloat. 1109 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 3: He kept him, you know, relevant, and he did a 1110 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 3: decent job. Is he the best quarterback for the Niners. 1111 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,920 Speaker 3: I don't think so, But he's at least earned the 1112 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,920 Speaker 3: right to get a contract. 1113 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 2: So I think of it like this because I agree 1114 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 2: with what I agree with the Prentice. The problem is 1115 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 2: the market rates a little too high for what I'm 1116 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 2: looking for here, right, Like I agree that Brock Purdy 1117 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 2: is an NFL starter. I agree he's above average NFL starter. 1118 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 2: I think the idea that we're gonna pay him. Let 1119 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 2: me rephrase this. I thought paying Trevor Lawrence fifty five 1120 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 2: million dollars a year was nuts, right, I thought like, 1121 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,280 Speaker 2: and Trevor Lawrence was the number one pick in the draft, 1122 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:45,120 Speaker 2: had all of it. But I'm watching the games guys 1123 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 2: like wanting, I get Okay, there's the price of a quarterback. Well, 1124 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 2: maybe I'd be fine letting it go and trying to 1125 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,000 Speaker 2: find another one somewhere else. And you know what, it's 1126 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 2: easy for me to do that because my job is 1127 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 2: not on the line here. 1128 00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 3: Well, hmm, I can name a bunch of people that's 1129 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,480 Speaker 3: been overpaid. You know, there's a guy right now in 1130 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 3: Cleveland that never should have got the contract he got. 1131 01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 2: So it's actually interesting that you asked that question or 1132 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,760 Speaker 2: bringing that up, Deshaun Watson. And is guaranteed deal in 1133 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 2: which the owner That's how you know it's a bad deal. 1134 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 2: When the owner is like, yeah, this is a bad 1135 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:26,880 Speaker 2: deal and the GM still in place, the head coach 1136 01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 2: still in place, makes you know the owner was like, hey, 1137 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 2: we want to get this deal done. But to me, 1138 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 2: if I'm the San Francisco forty nine ers with the 1139 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 2: eleventh pick in the draft and I'm the opportunity to 1140 01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 2: either pay pay Brock Purty for four years fifty five 1141 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 2: some odd million dollars guarantee. I think that's what he's 1142 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 2: gonna get, or the opportunity to have four years plus 1143 01:00:55,960 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 2: franchise tag option, do options on Shad or sand on 1144 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 2: this rookie deal? Which one would you take? 1145 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,600 Speaker 3: Well, before I answer that, chadors down to eleven. 1146 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 2: Now, I'm just in a world where in a world 1147 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:14,160 Speaker 2: where it's very feasible to get lower and lower. 1148 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 3: Well, I did say Gino Smith, So yeah, but I'm 1149 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,360 Speaker 3: not doing that only because, oh my god, and that 1150 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 3: felt it's so weird. I like brock Party, you know, 1151 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 3: I really do. I think he did just enough for 1152 01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 3: you to win. Because at the end of the day, 1153 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 3: we all know what wins championships. Its defense. It's not offense. 1154 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,640 Speaker 3: I don't care what sport it is. And so to me, 1155 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do that deal because I believe in 1156 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 3: brock Party personally. But you know, we can hype up 1157 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 3: shadeor all we want, but we haven't seen him play 1158 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 3: in the NFL game. I feel you, So I'm not 1159 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 3: gonna do that. I don't I'm not a prisoner of 1160 01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 3: the moment, I look at the total body of work 1161 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 3: and I I try to give a guy a chance. Okay, 1162 01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 3: let me see what you do your first year. Because 1163 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 3: we talked about it off air Will Levis in college. 1164 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 3: He looked like he was gonna come in and dominate. 1165 01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 2: But trash. Now, I'll say this in terms of your 1166 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 2: body of work argument, I am taking in consideration the 1167 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 2: entirety of the body of work of one person. It's 1168 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 2: just not Brock Party. I'm taking in the entirety of 1169 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,440 Speaker 2: the body of work of Kyle Shanahan. And when you 1170 01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 2: show me a guy to me, honestly, the low I'm 1171 01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 2: saying low. And that's but I think a fair NFL comference, 1172 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,040 Speaker 2: Sir Door Sanders, if I'm being honest with myself, Okay, 1173 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,400 Speaker 2: Brock Party is in the neighborhood. I think that's very 1174 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,600 Speaker 2: fair that Brock Party. They compare favorably to each other. Sure, 1175 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 2: some better at one thing better than whatever. They compare 1176 01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 2: further favorably to each other. To me, if I'm San 1177 01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,439 Speaker 2: Francisco and I know that my window, like you said 1178 01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 2: it TI closing right, is slowly sliding down, I move. 1179 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 2: I can move off of Rock Party. Maybe after Cleveland 1180 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 2: takes Travis Hunter in the second round with the second 1181 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,480 Speaker 2: pick in the draft. I'll call you up, hey, I 1182 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 2: know you got this handshake deal with Kirk Cousins, probably 1183 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 2: in Atlanta. Can I interest you in a guy who's 1184 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 2: won more than one playoff game? Can I interest you 1185 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 2: in a guy that's won more than one playoff game 1186 01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:19,920 Speaker 2: in his career? I can see that. You know what 1187 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 2: I'm saying. You have to pay him a little bit. 1188 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 2: You have to pay him. Maybe you get him at 1189 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 2: forty five million dollars a year average annual value forty 1190 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,320 Speaker 2: seven something like that. You have to pay him. But 1191 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 2: guess what you are. If you don't screwed, you're screwed. 1192 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,919 Speaker 2: Because you're not gonna get a quarterback in the second round. 1193 01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 2: You might as well come and take rock. 1194 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Same thing. 1195 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 2: If I'm New York, you really want to go with 1196 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson and Davis Winston as your two quarterbacks? Or 1197 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 2: would you like a guy who's actually won a playoff 1198 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 2: game in the last five years? 1199 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,000 Speaker 3: Well you just s wait a minute now, you confusing me. 1200 01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:57,360 Speaker 3: You just said earlier all you need is just a 1201 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 3: quarterback that could just keep you afloat. Go after a 1202 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 3: guy like Abduel Carda, Travis Unders. But I'm saying you would. 1203 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 2: You're not gonna get that third, second or third pick. 1204 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 2: I'm saying you would move make Brock Party if you 1205 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,400 Speaker 2: could get a I think if the Niners could get 1206 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 2: like a third round pick for what did Gino Smith 1207 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:17,680 Speaker 2: go for a third round pick? 1208 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1209 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,680 Speaker 2: So maybe if the Niners can get a second rounder 1210 01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 2: for Brock Party or a third this year and a 1211 01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 2: third next year, like I think that they're moving it. 1212 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 2: The biggest thing is you're resetting the clock on your quarterback. 1213 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:35,240 Speaker 2: And we've seen Kyle Shannan have Super Bowl berths with 1214 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:39,439 Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo and with Brock Party. I think he could 1215 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 2: do it again with a quarterback of Rock Party's talent level. 1216 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 2: And I think that's right about Roschad dor Sanders has 1217 01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 2: a good shot at landing landing. 1218 01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 3: Well, I'm you know what, I was kind of like 1219 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 3: messing around with the whole He's gonna drop like Geno 1220 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 3: and all that. I honestly believe because he's not going 1221 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 3: to the draft and everything else in those private meetings 1222 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 3: and workouts he's doing, I don't think he drops lower 1223 01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 3: than fifth. Okay, obviously if he's fifth and there's a 1224 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 3: lot of hype over him and you know, with his 1225 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 3: dad and everything else. But I'm just saying it's just weird. 1226 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,440 Speaker 3: But Okay, to your point, where do you send Purty 1227 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,520 Speaker 3: look to get what you need? Cleveland's quarterback? 1228 01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 2: All the teams that we have mocked quarterbacks too are 1229 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:27,440 Speaker 2: in the quarterback market. Right. Aaron Rodgers just on Tuesday 1230 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,080 Speaker 2: was talking about how I'll play for technical talking about Rogers. 1231 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,800 Speaker 2: But it's valid that the Pittsburgh Steelers have the door open, 1232 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 2: praying he walks in it. Right? If you if you 1233 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 2: called Pittsburgh today and said Brock Purty is available, do 1234 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 2: you know who Aaron Rodgers goes on to the block list? 1235 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 1: Think about it? 1236 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I hear what you're saying. But I'm just 1237 01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 3: I'm I'm done with Aaron Rodgers man because he's diva personified. 1238 01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 2: But think Pittsburgh's not. That's that's how desperate, that's how 1239 01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:06,520 Speaker 2: devalued are these quarterbacks that are available are where you're 1240 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 2: sitting up listening to Aaron Rodgers say, I may I 1241 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 2: got a lot of personal stuff going on. I don't 1242 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 2: even know if I want to do this sport and 1243 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is sitting there as up today. That's the plan. 1244 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,240 Speaker 4: The Steelers would love brock perty hold no, man, hold up? 1245 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 2: Could you do that some boys again? Oh man, let's 1246 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 2: go ahead, and uh, you know, as I've been over 1247 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 2: here pontificating, there's been a run going on in this 1248 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 2: Timberwolves Lakers game.

Steve, you're up. 1251 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Lakers have fallen apart. 1252 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 8: And by the way, Rob's contract here has absolutely no 1253 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 8: trickle down effect. 1254 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 2: No trickle down. That rising tide does not lift any vote. 1255 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,840 Speaker 8: Minnesota with a twelve to two run to open the 1256 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:54,120 Speaker 8: second quarter in LA.

All our 1319 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 3: calls were unknown. 1320 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 2: So my dad used to have a friend of grandfather 1321 01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 2: used to say, you always answer the phone because you 1322 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,559 Speaker 2: never knew if money was calling. Right, answer the phone 1323 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,720 Speaker 2: because you never know when money is called exactly. And 1324 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 2: we had an example of that in the NBA because 1325 01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 2: Rob Polinka answered the phone and congratulations, buddy, you just 1326 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,320 Speaker 2: got a new promotion president of the basketball operations and 1327 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:34,160 Speaker 2: a new salary, all because you answered Nico Harrison's phone call. 1328 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:41,160 Speaker 2: Way to go, Buddy, way to go.

What's that 1331 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,360 Speaker 3: no one knew about it. That's the first time in 1332 01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,479 Speaker 3: NBA history there wasn't a leak, right, because there's always 1333 01:10:54,520 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 3: a leak. Always somebody's telling somebody, that's telling somebody. This 1334 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,400 Speaker 3: was the first time nothing came out until it happened. 1335 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 3: This was a total surprise at. 1336 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:08,479 Speaker 2: Least, like you might smell the gas a little bit 1337 01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 2: before I smell something something you heard?

Luca Donteon's' intro press conference was tight. 1346 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,000 Speaker 2: But I'm sitting there looking at this NBA dot com article, 1347 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 2: he said.

That's who I blame. 1482 01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 5: Next up, Bryce Underwood, who is a true freshman at Michigan. 1483 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 5: He's their quarterback who if you remember a few months 1484 01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 5: ago he transferred or not transferred, he decommitted from LSU 1485 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,840 Speaker 5: committed to Michigan for twelve million dollars is the rumored 1486 01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:17,439 Speaker 5: valuation of his nil. Anyway, a recent picture surface of 1487 01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:18,760 Speaker 5: him and it looks like he has a little bit 1488 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 5: of a gut. His belly is sticking out of his 1489 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 5: jersey in a recent photo taking at Michigan. 1490 01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 4: So who do you guys blame for this? We'll start 1491 01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 4: with Olden. 1492 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,240 Speaker 3: I blame the cameraman not using the right filter. 1493 01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,600 Speaker 2: He's saying that right filter, you know, I blame. I 1494 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 2: blame all of that haters who will sit there and 1495 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 2: retweet like I saw you know where I saw this 1496 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 2: from Ohio State fans. You just won a championship. Quit 1497 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 2: worrying over here about what's going on, and I'll just 1498 01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,439 Speaker 2: have you notice. Just google Patrick Mahomes shirtless and you 1499 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,000 Speaker 2: let me know what a good quarterback is supposed to 1500 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,679 Speaker 2: look like with no ebs. In fact, do this google 1501 01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 2: Will Levis and Patrick Mahomes shirtless side by side, and 1502 01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,719 Speaker 2: you tell me what a quarterback is supposed to look like. Okay, 1503 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:07,040 Speaker 2: that's exactly right. Up next, we'll dive back in the 1504 01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 2: Lakers Tiperwolves match up Martin Wise's older polonies. You're listening 1505 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:15,000 Speaker 2: to Fox Sports Radio Radio, that's right, and we're broadcasting 1506 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 2: live from the tire rack dot com studios tire iraq 1507 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,320 Speaker 2: dot com.

It's 1510 01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 2: the way that tire buying should be. Martin Wise here 1511 01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:35,240 Speaker 2: joined with olden polonies and talking about the NBA playoffs 1512 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 2: right now, the Lakers down at the half to the 1513 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:42,080 Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves. We both said we felt that this series 1514 01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 2: was going to be a hard fought one where a 1515 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 2: lot of people were picking Lakers and five or Lakers 1516 01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 2: and four, so on and so forth. We were not there. Now, 1517 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 2: I'll give you ask you this, though we sit here 1518 01:20:55,120 --> 01:21:00,400 Speaker 2: through the postseason, the only there has not been a 1519 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,000 Speaker 2: lower seed to be the higher sheed yet so far, 1520 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:08,040 Speaker 2: I believe. And but we're only in game one of 1521 01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:13,040 Speaker 2: like the first four of the playoffs left, it's gonna happen. 1522 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:18,360 Speaker 2: Which of the lower seeded teams do you think has 1523 01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 2: the best chance to advance? Why is it through Orlando Magic. 1524 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:22,880 Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. 1525 01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:28,679 Speaker 3: Uh, the Warriors. To me, that's you know, that's the one. 1526 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,000 Speaker 3: You know, a seventh seed, and they got a team 1527 01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 3: that they've beaten during the regular season and can beat 1528 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:40,439 Speaker 3: in a seven game series. And Jimmy Butler said it best. 1529 01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 3: I know we have a chance with me and playing, 1530 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 3: but I know everybody has a chance with Steph and 1531 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 3: so to me, as long as Steph Curry, now you 1532 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 3: got playoff Jimmy and the supporting cast. And I think 1533 01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,040 Speaker 3: I do believe Kaminga will play in this series, and 1534 01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,439 Speaker 3: that's gonna be I think he's gonna bring energy because 1535 01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,760 Speaker 3: you know, sometimes Steve does that crap too. You know, 1536 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 3: he he'll bench him for a while to get him 1537 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 3: real mad and upset, so when he goes out there, 1538 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,640 Speaker 3: he plays his best basketball. So not a fan of 1539 01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 3: stuff like that, but I know it's done all the time. 1540 01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, the Warriors on my team, the one with 1541 01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:25,400 Speaker 3: an outside look at Memphis against OKC. 1542 01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 2: You know, I that team. Okay, So I want to 1543 01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 2: address it twofold. First, I disagree with you on the 1544 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:39,960 Speaker 2: Warriors side of things. If the referees allow Houston to 1545 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,240 Speaker 2: play like they're gonna play similar to the way that 1546 01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 2: like a detroital play, they're gonna grab you, They're gonna 1547 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,839 Speaker 2: be up in your jersey. If they're calling tickie tag fouls, 1548 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,720 Speaker 2: the Warriors will walk away with this thing. If this 1549 01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 2: becomes a more physical series. I like Houston's kind of 1550 01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:00,800 Speaker 2: defensive metal defensive attitude and the way that they kind 1551 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,840 Speaker 2: of approach defending Steph Curry. And I don't know if 1552 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler he's had playoff Jimmy, I know it's a thing, 1553 01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 2: all right. Well I'm gonna have it. It has been 1554 01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,519 Speaker 2: in years past. I need to see it again to 1555 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:21,640 Speaker 2: believe it again, because there's there's too much going on 1556 01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 2: in the regular season REDI just ignore. I know he 1557 01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,280 Speaker 2: steps his game up in the postseason, a great postseason performer. 1558 01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 2: Well at thirty six years old, I believe Jimmy is 1559 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:34,400 Speaker 2: thirty seven. Do it again? Do it again. I think 1560 01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:38,000 Speaker 2: this is the one match up here where the relative 1561 01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 2: lack of experience might be able to be out to 1562 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 2: be played out with that just overwhelmingly athleticism up and 1563 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:48,600 Speaker 2: down the court. And if they can make it like 1564 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,560 Speaker 2: a college basketball game where you're rebounding a lot, you 1565 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, It comes down to your rebounding 1566 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 2: your defense. As such, Houston Rockets White played like the 1567 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,200 Speaker 2: Houston Cougar is hopefully better than it did last five 1568 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:01,559 Speaker 2: seconds of National Championship. Yeah. 1569 01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,639 Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna say this. You know my famous quote, 1570 01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,720 Speaker 3: if my aunt had testicles, she'd be my uncle. So 1571 01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:10,840 Speaker 3: I'm just letting you know right now, all that if 1572 01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,760 Speaker 3: throw that out the window, because the Warriors are a 1573 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:20,640 Speaker 3: veteran team with championship medal. The Houston Rockets most of 1574 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:24,559 Speaker 3: their players jailing green and all them casts stud they 1575 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 3: don't know nothing about nothing. And so to me, it 1576 01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,120 Speaker 3: has nothing due with referees. It has to do with 1577 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,800 Speaker 3: the approach of the game, bottom line, because Steph is 1578 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,200 Speaker 3: too smart to let Dylan Brooks get in him. As 1579 01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 3: the Timberwolves extend that lead. So about to say John 1580 01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:44,639 Speaker 3: just is somewhere seething. 1581 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:49,840 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards throws up dueling finger guns as he hits 1582 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 2: a three pointer to extend the lead. Seventy to forty 1583 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:59,439 Speaker 2: eight Minnesota over the Lakers with ten minutes left in 1584 01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,559 Speaker 2: the third third quarter. You mentioned this earlier today, if 1585 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 2: you're going to steal a game on the road, game one, 1586 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 2: game one, creeping like a thief in the night. 1587 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:13,880 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, because that's the one that's when they most vulnerable, because. 1588 01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 2: They expected to win. I forgot. I looked this up 1589 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 2: a few years ago, so I don't know how true 1590 01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 2: it holds exactly, but Lebron as a pretty bad record 1591 01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,040 Speaker 2: in game ones of serieses. So today this is two 1592 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty eighth playoff game, which is insanity. But 1593 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 2: he has a pretty bad record in game one of series, 1594 01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 2: so we'll see. Obviously, this game far from over. Hell, 1595 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 2: if you looked at the Pistons next game with ten 1596 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,639 Speaker 2: minutes left in the fourth quarter, you thought that game 1597 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,320 Speaker 2: was going to go the way of the road team 1598 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:49,360 Speaker 2: until the next completely, well, no, the Pistons melted down. 1599 01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,600 Speaker 2: That was melted. The youth showed. Is that something that 1600 01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,799 Speaker 2: you can rebound from in a series? 1601 01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 3: A veteran team can not a youthful team A veteran team, Yeah, 1602 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 3: you know, we lose, Like if Denver had lost that 1603 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,160 Speaker 3: game against the Clippers. They would have been like, Okay, 1604 01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,920 Speaker 3: well we let one get away, but we can get 1605 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:11,559 Speaker 3: one in La. 1606 01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 2: Okay. Now you said, speaking of you are putting your 1607 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,320 Speaker 2: phrase to the test, and I'm not talking about the 1608 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,640 Speaker 2: one about your auntie. You're putting your phrase to the 1609 01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:28,000 Speaker 2: test about over experience over talent. When you say your 1610 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,200 Speaker 2: seat that you think could be out early would be 1611 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder in the one seat to the 1612 01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,880 Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies. But I tend out of all all the 1613 01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:39,719 Speaker 2: way Grouse. I think the Rockets got a better shot 1614 01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:43,320 Speaker 2: against the war years. But I will say that Memphis 1615 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:47,519 Speaker 2: team was not the eighth seat all year, like they 1616 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 2: had a much better start to the year, had a 1617 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 2: little bit of floundering, and we all looked at those 1618 01:26:55,160 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 2: teams that fired their coaches, the Grizzlies and the Nugget 1619 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 2: it's going into the postseason as what on earth are 1620 01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:07,640 Speaker 2: you doing now? I still lean that way, but to me, 1621 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 2: there is a world where listen, we know it's bad now, 1622 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 2: it's not gonna get any better, but we have a 1623 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,680 Speaker 2: really talented roster, and we like a guy back here 1624 01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 2: to be able to guide this really talented roster through 1625 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,280 Speaker 2: a lot of things, Memphis has a really talented roster. 1626 01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 2: To me, I know they do. 1627 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,280 Speaker 3: That's why I say I could see them beating OKC. 1628 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:33,760 Speaker 3: And so to me, people forget, aside from the stupidity 1629 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:37,000 Speaker 3: of a lot of stuff that he's done, Ja Morant 1630 01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:41,160 Speaker 3: is still Ja Morant, and they still have Jamon Jackson, 1631 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 3: Julia Desmond band who can knock down shots. They got Lukenod. 1632 01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 3: I mean this day solid team. 1633 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:50,200 Speaker 10: Zach Edy is a presence, and I think the addition 1634 01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 10: of Edie, while he's a rookie, has mitigated a bit 1635 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,679 Speaker 10: of some of Jaron Jackson's fouling, which was that team 1636 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,720 Speaker 10: one of that team's achilles heels in the year's past exactly. 1637 01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:05,800 Speaker 3: And so to me, I like them. I think because Shae, 1638 01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,880 Speaker 3: for all his greatness, you know, he's kind. 1639 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:09,720 Speaker 2: Of a liability. 1640 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,280 Speaker 3: You know they talk about Luca, Shae's a liability to 1641 01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 3: on defense and so who you gonna hide him on? 1642 01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,439 Speaker 3: And you know, you gotta figure it out. And so 1643 01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:23,559 Speaker 3: to me, I could see this series going six, possibly seven, 1644 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:25,519 Speaker 3: and if it goes seven, the pressures on ok. 1645 01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,600 Speaker 2: To your point about who you're gonna hide him on? 1646 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:34,040 Speaker 2: Bane really good shooter. Aldama really good shooter, Luke Canard 1647 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:39,439 Speaker 2: really good shooter. Jaron Jackson junior above average shooter. Right, Like, 1648 01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. When you're looking at these guys, 1649 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:45,280 Speaker 2: they will spread you out. Yes. And the other thing 1650 01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 2: on the OKC side of things, as everybody's listening to 1651 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 2: this is starting at their radio and okay, see really like, 1652 01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,920 Speaker 2: don't you did you guys watch games this year? What 1653 01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 2: I did also watching those games this year is what 1654 01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 2: is OKAYC curveball? I know that they got one hundred 1655 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,600 Speaker 2: and five mile an hour fastball with late movement in 1656 01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:10,560 Speaker 2: Shae Gilt of Alexander. What happens third time through the 1657 01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 2: order when you've got to get a little more creative. 1658 01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:16,719 Speaker 2: You gotta have a curveball, slider or something off speed, 1659 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,719 Speaker 2: because once you keep throwing one oh five, they'll figure 1660 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,040 Speaker 2: out how to hit it after a while. The NBA 1661 01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:24,880 Speaker 2: playoffs are like that. If this was a one game elimination, 1662 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,160 Speaker 2: if this was a play in oh OKC all day. 1663 01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 2: But I think that Memphis, if they're not calling fouls 1664 01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 2: for shake guilds Alexander, they find a way to corral him, 1665 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,519 Speaker 2: make him work for his point. If he's gonna score 1666 01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:40,639 Speaker 2: twenty five points. Make it be on twenty three shots, right, 1667 01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:43,760 Speaker 2: who else is putting the ball in the bucket with 1668 01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:47,080 Speaker 2: seven seconds left on the shot clock late possession for OKC. 1669 01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:50,919 Speaker 3: I mean, they got a bunch of jail in Williams 1670 01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 3: as to choose from. But I mean, that's a good question. 1671 01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,920 Speaker 3: It has to be one of the Williams is, I mean. 1672 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 3: And that's that's to me, I said, Joe, I'm trying 1673 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,240 Speaker 3: to think of who else. It's like they've just they've 1674 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:11,639 Speaker 3: played really good basketball, you know, in the regular season. 1675 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,519 Speaker 3: And I keep saying this, it's way different in the 1676 01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:19,760 Speaker 3: regular season than it is in the playoffs because you're 1677 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,280 Speaker 3: mixing it up with different You're getting wins off of 1678 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 3: bum teams even though they are NBA players, but they 1679 01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:28,120 Speaker 3: still bum teams, you know, in the grand schemes of 1680 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 3: things of the NBA. But it's like, who's the who's 1681 01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 3: the next go to guy, you know after Shay if 1682 01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,840 Speaker 3: he's having an off night. And that's what I'm thinking, 1683 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:41,720 Speaker 3: because again, Memphis was one of the top two. They 1684 01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:46,720 Speaker 3: were picked to be up there, and so it's not 1685 01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:49,200 Speaker 3: a four gun conclusion. No, it's not at all it's 1686 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:49,880 Speaker 3: not at all. 1687 01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:53,639 Speaker 2: And while you know I'm not necessarily why did bet 1688 01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:56,439 Speaker 2: the Grizzly series price had a small sprinkle that was 1689 01:30:56,520 --> 01:31:00,519 Speaker 2: more of a lottery ticket than an actual investment, because 1690 01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,320 Speaker 2: I do think it can happen, and I've had a 1691 01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:04,519 Speaker 2: blind spot for the Grizzlies in the past. But when 1692 01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:08,720 Speaker 2: we talk about the other shooters, the other players, man, 1693 01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,720 Speaker 2: they got a lot of guys out there. If you're 1694 01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 2: hearing background noises that is old and dancing, my god, 1695 01:31:14,320 --> 01:31:15,200 Speaker 2: I'm not dancing. 1696 01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,320 Speaker 3: I'm just like, I'm not even in shock because I 1697 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:20,800 Speaker 3: did say this could go this way in the first game, 1698 01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:21,920 Speaker 3: so I'm not really shot. 1699 01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 2: It's the way they're doing it. So what the they 1700 01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:27,800 Speaker 2: and the doing is what we're talking about is the 1701 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,720 Speaker 2: B two A we're witnessing with the Minnesota Timberwolves and 1702 01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:34,160 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers right now. Through the first I 1703 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 2: mean through the first quarter was close, but through the 1704 01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:39,120 Speaker 2: second and third quarters, the Timberwolves had stretched out to 1705 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,280 Speaker 2: just about amount to a twenty point lead. 1706 01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,200 Speaker 3: And you're saying, what, my colleague just came down one 1707 01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:46,240 Speaker 3: on four and shot a three pointer. 1708 01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of silly. That's how bad it is well, 1709 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:53,280 Speaker 2: it's knocking on the door of thirty. Wow. 1710 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 3: Okay, well, you talk about it being a championship quality team, 1711 01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,240 Speaker 3: and this is what I talked about. What happens when 1712 01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:07,920 Speaker 3: you're down. Everybody's gonna be vert back to natural instincts 1713 01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:12,519 Speaker 3: and Luca perfect example, trying to do too much and 1714 01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:13,720 Speaker 3: turn the ball over. 1715 01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:19,400 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Julius Randall just annihilated Luca Dat's in 1716 01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:23,479 Speaker 2: the open court. That was pretty funny. But look, it 1717 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:25,560 Speaker 2: looks like he's gonna be all right. But if you 1718 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 2: watch the replay, you'll see he's just Randall missed the 1719 01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,040 Speaker 2: shot and just stretched out and took Luca out. But 1720 01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 2: uh yeah, this one I think a surprising to most. 1721 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:37,600 Speaker 2: But when you look at it, we set it up 1722 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:41,160 Speaker 2: at the beginning of the show today, especially with that 1723 01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,439 Speaker 2: knaves Read lineup out there. The Lakers don't have the 1724 01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:45,519 Speaker 2: Timberwolf size. 1725 01:32:45,680 --> 01:32:45,720 Speaker 5: No. 1726 01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 2: Now, do the Lakers have the best, you know, two 1727 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:53,680 Speaker 2: of the best three players in the series. Probably so sure, right, 1728 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:58,320 Speaker 2: probably most definitely, But you'res looking at size and you 1729 01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 2: know that's gonna be a tough man up for Los Angeles. 1730 01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:04,479 Speaker 2: Luka Doncic grabbing at his leg and pain. 1731 01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:06,760 Speaker 3: But I know they're not even looking at this for 1732 01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:07,480 Speaker 3: a flagrant. 1733 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:08,960 Speaker 2: No, it's not a flagrant. 1734 01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:12,320 Speaker 3: There's nothing going for the defenders back. 1735 01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was going for the ball on that one. 1736 01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:16,360 Speaker 2: I don't like that one, trying to be a flake 1737 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:20,320 Speaker 2: and he lost his shoe, my shoe. So we're looking 1738 01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,839 Speaker 2: at Luka doncics right now, and you're saying the reverting 1739 01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 2: back to old habits.

It was 1778 01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:39,680 Speaker 2: tied for third and then there was a Nasried hit 1779 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,760 Speaker 2: another one. So that goes to show you as this 1780 01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:48,320 Speaker 2: game has not been really in contention since halftime. It 1781 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:52,639 Speaker 2: also shows you, like probably not expecting a three point 1782 01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 2: output like this from the Timberwolves going forward. 1783 01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure this thing as Anthony Edwards limps 1784 01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 3: to the locker room, and that's the thing, man. You know, 1785 01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,640 Speaker 3: it can go either way. You know, you live by 1786 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,760 Speaker 3: the jump shot. You will die by the jump shot, 1787 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:13,680 Speaker 3: and you live by the three. 1788 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 2: You die out of three. 1789 01:36:14,720 --> 01:36:18,920 Speaker 3: Tonight, the Timberwolves are making threes, Lakers are making a couple. 1790 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:24,720 Speaker 3: But the defense is horrible. Right now, he's cramping up. 1791 01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:28,360 Speaker 2: Yeah that that's given a cramp because he landed squarely 1792 01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:29,439 Speaker 2: on both feet too. 1793 01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:34,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, cramping up potassium in your body. 1794 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 2: Dude, You know you joke about you say it with 1795 01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:44,720 Speaker 2: a chuckle in your voice, but we are now in 1796 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 2: I'll say it's Is it fair to say Anthony Edwards 1797 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:52,000 Speaker 2: arrived last season like at a at a bigger level 1798 01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,960 Speaker 2: than he has been in the past. The knock that 1799 01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:57,920 Speaker 2: was that, I mean he himself, not even a knock 1800 01:36:58,040 --> 01:36:59,800 Speaker 2: just from people like me and you talking in my 1801 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,760 Speaker 2: but him himself acknowledged the fact that he just conditioning 1802 01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,160 Speaker 2: wasn't all there. He didn't like, he was tired, he 1803 01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,120 Speaker 2: ran out of gas. Yeah, cramping is another function of 1804 01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:16,479 Speaker 2: diet hydration. I'm not blowing anything out of proportion here, 1805 01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,559 Speaker 2: But Lakers come back and win this game, and they 1806 01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:23,479 Speaker 2: get outscored fifteen to five. In the Anthony Edwards non 1807 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards minutes, you could point one person at it, 1808 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:30,360 Speaker 2: but you could point to one person as to well, 1809 01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,880 Speaker 2: two people I suppose, but one person answering the phone 1810 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:39,240 Speaker 2: really changing the course off the Western Conference. But you know, 1811 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 2: watching Dallas this season mercifully ending last night, Anthony Davis, 1812 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,160 Speaker 2: limping off the court, tried and gave it his all. 1813 01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,760 Speaker 2: Saw Klay Thompson asked afterwards, like if he knew that 1814 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:51,680 Speaker 2: everything was going to go the way it did. Now 1815 01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:55,000 Speaker 2: if he would have still joined the Mavericks, which is 1816 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,840 Speaker 2: an incredibly I don't want to say it's an unfair 1817 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,519 Speaker 2: question because obviously if you could hop in your time machine, 1818 01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:04,240 Speaker 2: you would, but it's one that there's no good answer 1819 01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:06,680 Speaker 2: that he can say no, right, like, there's no good 1820 01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,040 Speaker 2: answer that he can have it. I actually thought he 1821 01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:10,439 Speaker 2: had a really really good answer, and that like, if 1822 01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:12,880 Speaker 2: I could go back in a time machine, I probably 1823 01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 2: would have never gotten hurt, you know, like, but I 1824 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,760 Speaker 2: got better because of those things. I challenged myself through 1825 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 2: those things, and that's why I am the guy I 1826 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:24,320 Speaker 2: am today. But there's gonna be a team in Dallas 1827 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:26,840 Speaker 2: next year. They're gonna have fifteen players on it or 1828 01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:28,920 Speaker 2: so and they're gonna field the team that plays eighty 1829 01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:31,360 Speaker 2: two games. Where do they go from here? 1830 01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:37,800 Speaker 3: They're gonna have to make some moves, you know, I 1831 01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,479 Speaker 3: don't think they have enough. You can't replace Luca Daunteis 1832 01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:43,160 Speaker 3: unless you get Luca Dauntets and so to me. 1833 01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:44,679 Speaker 2: It be hard to get him back. Yeah. 1834 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 3: And Anthony Davis, you know, we know his history. He 1835 01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:52,720 Speaker 3: tried to play through some stuff. But again, it's just 1836 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,640 Speaker 3: he's one of those guys. Man, the rest of his 1837 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,360 Speaker 3: career is gonna be you know, he's gonna sit out 1838 01:38:57,439 --> 01:39:00,840 Speaker 3: some games due to injury. Clay is on the tail 1839 01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:03,519 Speaker 3: end of his career, so he's not gonna be Clay 1840 01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:06,800 Speaker 3: of old. He's not gonna give you extensive minutes. He'll 1841 01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:08,920 Speaker 3: knock down some shots, He'll go on a heater every 1842 01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:13,160 Speaker 3: now and then. Right, the biggest question mark for the 1843 01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:17,680 Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks is how healthy is Kyrie gonna be? But 1844 01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,639 Speaker 3: at the same time, if Kyrie comes back ninety nine 1845 01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:24,479 Speaker 3: point nine, because no one's ever one day, one hundred 1846 01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:29,439 Speaker 3: ninety nine point nine, you still need help. You still 1847 01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 3: need a lot more. 1848 01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,720 Speaker 4: Honestly, you know what that team needs a twenty six 1849 01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:34,599 Speaker 4: year old superstar. 1850 01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:36,680 Speaker 2: Well, I was about to say, like I am. You 1851 01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:37,960 Speaker 2: know where they could get one. 1852 01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,240 Speaker 3: He needs a young wing who can't go out there. 1853 01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:45,360 Speaker 3: You know the Max s Fists of the world and 1854 01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,080 Speaker 3: not gonna do it. Those are spot guys. He's a 1855 01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:51,040 Speaker 3: spot guy. You have a bunch of those, the Gafford 1856 01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,639 Speaker 3: Lively lineup. You know they're gonna give you some minutes. 1857 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,120 Speaker 3: But but you know what, no one ever talks about 1858 01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:59,599 Speaker 3: that those two guys getting injured at the same time 1859 01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:01,559 Speaker 3: Billy decorated them. 1860 01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:06,559 Speaker 2: It could not have broken worse for the Mavericks after 1861 01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:09,679 Speaker 2: the trade in terms of the way their training table 1862 01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,360 Speaker 2: just filled up with guys like guys were just everybody 1863 01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:15,600 Speaker 2: was getting hurt and as a result, that's why the 1864 01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,080 Speaker 2: team fell to where they were. It was not an 1865 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,280 Speaker 2: unpopular opinion that people were talking about how the Mavericks 1866 01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:23,960 Speaker 2: won the trade for right now, you know, and I 1867 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:26,240 Speaker 2: didn't agree with it, but you could have found people 1868 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:26,680 Speaker 2: saying it. 1869 01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:32,639 Speaker 3: But no puts in this world the Mavericks won that trade. 1870 01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:39,280 Speaker 2: I listen, I agree with you. But Mike Harmon, who 1871 01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:42,240 Speaker 2: does this show? What it was that ten to two 1872 01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:46,439 Speaker 2: East doom? Yeah, swollen domes with Jason his best friend, 1873 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,040 Speaker 2: Jason Smith made a. 1874 01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:51,960 Speaker 4: Great sorry seven to eleven Pacific time. 1875 01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:54,080 Speaker 2: I was trying to do it Eastern because, like you know, 1876 01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:58,560 Speaker 2: half the country lives over there. But uh, anyway, he 1877 01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,160 Speaker 2: made a great point that I never considered until I 1878 01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:04,920 Speaker 2: heard him say it. Because of the way that Saquon 1879 01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:10,200 Speaker 2: Barkley's free agency or whatever the last offseason was put 1880 01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:14,479 Speaker 2: on television. As a collective, we never considered whether or 1881 01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:16,120 Speaker 2: not it was a good or bad idea for the 1882 01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:19,519 Speaker 2: Giants to keep Saquon Barkley. You know what I'm saying, 1883 01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:23,439 Speaker 2: Like we never considered whether the Giants should have kept him. 1884 01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:26,439 Speaker 2: It's but because of the way we saw it play out, 1885 01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,600 Speaker 2: it was universally regarded as a bad move. If the 1886 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:32,320 Speaker 2: Giants had kept Saquon Barkley, they probably would have won 1887 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:36,200 Speaker 2: what at the best, three more games last year right 1888 01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:39,120 Speaker 2: at the you know what I'm saying, that was going 1889 01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,519 Speaker 2: to Philly it with the perfect storm, very much like 1890 01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:46,320 Speaker 2: this was the perfect storm in Dallas. It may not 1891 01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:50,120 Speaker 2: have like the if you go back and watch I'll 1892 01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 2: just say this, if you go back and watch the 1893 01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:56,200 Speaker 2: Mavericks in the bubble, if you can win when Paul 1894 01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,880 Speaker 2: George and Kawhi Leonard were at the height of their powers, 1895 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:03,840 Speaker 2: and you look at that version of Luka Doncics, and 1896 01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:07,160 Speaker 2: you look at this version of Luka Dacis the seven 1897 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,600 Speaker 2: and seven on the back of his jersey got a 1898 01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:13,960 Speaker 2: little bit bigger. You know, I'm saying, the athleticism is 1899 01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:18,439 Speaker 2: not quite where. Again, I wouldn't have made the move, 1900 01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:22,960 Speaker 2: all right, But when you've already got a guy who's 1901 01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:25,559 Speaker 2: a couple of games away from winning an NBA Finals. 1902 01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:29,799 Speaker 2: Who you seenes weight go up. You see he's already 1903 01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,880 Speaker 2: not working off the court to the like that you'd 1904 01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:36,000 Speaker 2: like him to. You give him a max contract, all 1905 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:39,800 Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's gonna work harder. But you know what, 1906 01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:43,680 Speaker 2: it'll never matter because once you make the trade, now 1907 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:47,120 Speaker 2: he's motivated. Now he's with Lebron, now he's drinking green juices. 1908 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:50,080 Speaker 2: It'll never matter, the same way that whether or not 1909 01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:52,840 Speaker 2: the Giants should or shouldn't have kept Taikwan won't matter 1910 01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:54,479 Speaker 2: because the way that it was put on TV. 1911 01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:58,640 Speaker 3: Well, you know, you upset me bringing up Saquan. You 1912 01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:02,720 Speaker 3: know again, I'm a Giants and I was distraught over that. 1913 01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:05,639 Speaker 3: But at the same time, you made a great point. 1914 01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:07,720 Speaker 3: You know, we probably would have won two games you 1915 01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,840 Speaker 3: said three, maybe one or two more. We just weren't 1916 01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:12,920 Speaker 3: a really good team. So I'm happy for him he 1917 01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:18,400 Speaker 3: got his championship ring. But with that being said, you right, 1918 01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:23,040 Speaker 3: that weight game that's seventy seven getting larger played a 1919 01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:26,800 Speaker 3: big part. But again, I'm not giving up on a 1920 01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:31,440 Speaker 3: twenty five year old, twenty six year international superstar. 1921 01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:35,920 Speaker 2: I want to be clear, I wouldn't have done it either. 1922 01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:39,120 Speaker 2: Oh my he could have been. He could have been, 1923 01:43:39,320 --> 01:43:41,120 Speaker 2: he could have been all of a Miller size. And 1924 01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:44,120 Speaker 2: if he's still putting the numbers that he's putting up, yes, 1925 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:45,920 Speaker 2: sign me up. All right. 1926 01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:48,599 Speaker 5: It's the fact that you know, if he is lacking 1927 01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,800 Speaker 5: in motivation and he is gaining weight and despite all that, 1928 01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,120 Speaker 5: he's still one of the three best players in the NBA, 1929 01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:54,920 Speaker 5: and if. 1930 01:43:54,840 --> 01:44:02,280 Speaker 3: He's lacking motivation, motivate him. You have seventeen coaches. Yeah, again, 1931 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:06,040 Speaker 3: somebody should be motivating. I would have tried my best 1932 01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:06,880 Speaker 3: to figure it out. 1933 01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:11,800 Speaker 2: All I'm saying is when you take away the drama 1934 01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:14,760 Speaker 2: and the overnight of it all and you're waking up 1935 01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:17,880 Speaker 2: to find out, Wait, what does happen? When you take 1936 01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 2: away all of that, it makes it a little a 1937 01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,479 Speaker 2: slight bit more palatable. But coming up next, there's never 1938 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,680 Speaker 2: a good way to break up with somebody. And I 1939 01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:31,000 Speaker 2: don't understand what one quarterback doesn't understand about that. But first, 1940 01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:33,320 Speaker 2: Steve de Seger with the news. 1941 01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,600 Speaker 8: The Lakers at home were down twenty seven to the 1942 01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:40,880 Speaker 8: Minnesota Timberwolves. It's now final seconds of the third quarter 1943 01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:44,800 Speaker 8: of their NBA playoff first round opener.

So, Ian's favorite team, 2038 01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:42,240 Speaker 2: the New York Jets, had a very public breakup with 2039 01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:44,240 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and the reason why it was very public 2040 01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:49,160 Speaker 2: because Aaron Rodgers told everybody exactly how it went down. Olden, 2041 01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:53,599 Speaker 2: did you have any problem with Aaron Rodgers? Are said 2042 01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:59,400 Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn seemingly quickly dismissing any possibility of Aaron Rodgers 2043 01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 2: playing for the New York Jets anyway, from the idea 2044 01:50:02,040 --> 01:50:03,559 Speaker 2: that he did it to how it was done. 2045 01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:08,640 Speaker 3: Well, Aaron Rodgers, I said before, it's a diva. And 2046 01:50:09,160 --> 01:50:13,160 Speaker 3: so now Aaron Glenn just came from the Detroit Lions 2047 01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,080 Speaker 3: and he had to make a statement as head coach, 2048 01:50:17,280 --> 01:50:20,320 Speaker 3: and that statement was we're going in a different direction. 2049 01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:22,800 Speaker 3: And you know, to Aaron Rodgers's point, you know, you 2050 01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:24,240 Speaker 3: could have told me this over the phone. 2051 01:50:25,000 --> 01:50:26,720 Speaker 2: So it was. 2052 01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:33,880 Speaker 3: Two guys trying to you know, the line was drawn 2053 01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:35,400 Speaker 3: in the sand, and so it was just one of 2054 01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:38,800 Speaker 3: these situations. But I do understand where Aaron Rodgers coming from, 2055 01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:40,600 Speaker 3: only from the point of you could have told me 2056 01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:42,840 Speaker 3: this over the phone. But at the same time, I 2057 01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:47,519 Speaker 3: respect what Aaron Glenn did because I'm like, yo, I'm 2058 01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:49,479 Speaker 3: setting it right now. 2059 01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:52,519 Speaker 2: This is my team and. 2060 01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:56,880 Speaker 3: You're not welcome because we saw what you did. And 2061 01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:01,040 Speaker 3: you know, they allowed Aaron Glen and to make that decision, 2062 01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:03,960 Speaker 3: oh to you know, give him the bad news. 2063 01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:10,519 Speaker 2: I I really, honestly I thought that Aaron Glenn did 2064 01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:14,800 Speaker 2: nothing wrong, nothing, So okay, Aaron Rodgers flew his own 2065 01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:16,680 Speaker 2: way out there. Okay, I can get that. You know, 2066 01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:19,000 Speaker 2: you'd rather probably have the team fly you out there. 2067 01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:24,720 Speaker 2: I get that. But to call in a guy who 2068 01:51:24,920 --> 01:51:27,600 Speaker 2: is a first ballot yellow jacket Hall of Famer, no 2069 01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:31,880 Speaker 2: doubt about it, Aaron Rodgers, and say we're gonna move 2070 01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,960 Speaker 2: off of you, but we want to let you like, 2071 01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:36,720 Speaker 2: how do you want us to announce this? 2072 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:37,400 Speaker 5: Like? 2073 01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:41,080 Speaker 2: I think that there's some like some validity to that. 2074 01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:44,880 Speaker 2: I do, because it's not it's not just we're cutting 2075 01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:47,320 Speaker 2: you back. Do you know what I'm saying? How do 2076 01:51:47,439 --> 01:51:50,719 Speaker 2: you want we? We we see it all the time. 2077 01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:55,400 Speaker 2: Now it's a mutually agreed parting of the ways. It 2078 01:51:55,600 --> 01:51:57,479 Speaker 2: used to I remember it used to be guys just 2079 01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:02,160 Speaker 2: got fired, right. No, now somebody if the phrasing is fired, 2080 01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:05,160 Speaker 2: he means it really went ugly, right, like Joe Douglas 2081 01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:08,120 Speaker 2: got fired. It wasn't no mutual parting of the ways, right, 2082 01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:10,880 Speaker 2: But generally it to be like I don't want to 2083 01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 2: say I got fired, so on and so forth, plase blah. 2084 01:52:14,439 --> 01:52:18,200 Speaker 2: I didn't have a problem with it. And to Rogers, 2085 01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:22,479 Speaker 2: complaint of this could have been a phone call. The 2086 01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:27,280 Speaker 2: reality of the situation is like you said, Aaron Rodgers, diva. 2087 01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:30,640 Speaker 2: Had it been a phone call, he would have went 2088 01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:33,240 Speaker 2: on Pat mckefee and said, don't you have to do 2089 01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:37,320 Speaker 2: that with somebody face to face right now? And if 2090 01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:41,120 Speaker 2: it had been if Aaron Glenn had flown to whoever 2091 01:52:41,240 --> 01:52:44,439 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers was, I guess California. Probably, if Aaron Glenn 2092 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:47,240 Speaker 2: had crossed the country and flown and walked on the 2093 01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:50,320 Speaker 2: beach in Malibu with Aaron Rodgers and his blue hoodie 2094 01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:52,960 Speaker 2: and his plug in headphones, Aaron Rodgers would have said, 2095 01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:55,080 Speaker 2: why are you disrupting my peace and quietude just to 2096 01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:57,360 Speaker 2: tell me you're gonna fire?

All we have is the guy who came 2110 01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:33,960 Speaker 5: out of the situation upset. So of course he's gonna 2111 01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:36,080 Speaker 5: make the Jets look worse. Not saying the Jets are 2112 01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:39,559 Speaker 5: blameless in all of this, but I'm saying, let's hold 2113 01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:41,760 Speaker 5: off on passing judgment on Aaron Glenn when we don't 2114 01:53:41,880 --> 01:53:43,320 Speaker 5: really know exactly what happened. 2115 01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:46,639 Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn was a top pick in the NFL draft, 2116 01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:48,439 Speaker 2: the first round pick. I forget what number, I think 2117 01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:51,200 Speaker 2: seven or eight, like a top fifteen pick in the 2118 01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:56,479 Speaker 2: NFL draft. Definitely first round. Was a star, was a 2119 01:53:57,120 --> 01:54:00,760 Speaker 2: old veteran. He worked his way up, got hired as 2120 01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:04,599 Speaker 2: a scout for Parcels and the Jets, and as coached 2121 01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:10,479 Speaker 2: all around. He's been in the NFL life for Aaron 2122 01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:14,280 Speaker 2: Glyn's what forty or forty seven is in that range. 2123 01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:16,679 Speaker 2: He's been in the NFL for twenty some plus years. 2124 01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:18,880 Speaker 4: He's fifty two, and he was the twelfth overall pick. 2125 01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:21,400 Speaker 2: Okay, so twelve overall pick, fifty two, So he's been 2126 01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:24,440 Speaker 2: in the NFL for over thirty years in some capacity. 2127 01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:27,000 Speaker 2: I think he's probably got a good handle and maybe 2128 01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:28,640 Speaker 2: I know, never been a head coach, we probably got 2129 01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:30,880 Speaker 2: a good handle on how things like this should go. 2130 01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think that we have a bias 2131 01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:35,600 Speaker 2: narrator here. 2132 01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:40,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, but to the point we only get in aaron'side, 2133 01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:42,360 Speaker 3: you know, like. 2134 01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:44,320 Speaker 8: I don't know. 2135 01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:48,080 Speaker 3: But again, I don't think Aaron Glenn himself did anything wrong. 2136 01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:52,080 Speaker 3: And so you're right, no matter how it went down, 2137 01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:54,120 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers would have flipped. 2138 01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:58,520 Speaker 2: It when I said earlier, Anthony Edwards are conditioning the cramp, 2139 01:54:58,680 --> 01:55:01,280 Speaker 2: so on and so forth, that if the Timberwolves give 2140 01:55:01,400 --> 01:55:05,920 Speaker 2: up a fifteen to five run in this next moment 2141 01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,040 Speaker 2: in time, you could point at one person, Well, the 2142 01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:11,120 Speaker 2: run was twenty to eight. To see how it ends 2143 01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:14,000 Speaker 2: for the Minnesota Timberwolves in this Los Angeles Leakers game. 2144 01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:18,080 Speaker 2: Will there be another miraculous comeback by a home team 2145 01:55:18,120 --> 01:55:21,440 Speaker 2: in the postseason. We'll see Martin Weiss's olden Polonese. We'll 2146 01:55:21,480 --> 01:55:25,240 Speaker 2: be right back. It was a twenty to eight run 2147 01:55:25,360 --> 01:55:27,560 Speaker 2: in the non Anthony Edwards minutes when he was in 2148 01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:30,160 Speaker 2: the back of the locker room getting that what we 2149 01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:33,800 Speaker 2: presume to be a cramp worked on uh, you know, 2150 01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,840 Speaker 2: didn't have much of an influence though, one eighty eight 2151 01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:39,760 Speaker 2: the score with eight just under eight minutes left in 2152 01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:43,440 Speaker 2: the game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers. The Timberwolves 2153 01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,560 Speaker 2: up and old we saw something in this game, olden 2154 01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:49,920 Speaker 2: polonies there, Martin Weiss here on Fox Sports Radio on 2155 01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:54,360 Speaker 2: a Fox Sports Saturday. We saw two types of shots 2156 01:55:54,400 --> 01:55:58,640 Speaker 2: we do not see in the regular season in this game. 2157 01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:01,520 Speaker 2: And I wonder if they'll had the game of appens. 2158 01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:05,000 Speaker 2: You have to get closer for it too. But we 2159 01:56:05,160 --> 01:56:08,240 Speaker 2: saw both Luka Doncics hit a half court shot at 2160 01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:12,320 Speaker 2: the end of the third quarter and Dante DiVincenzo hit 2161 01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:16,160 Speaker 2: a forty footer about going into half. A lot of 2162 01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:20,720 Speaker 2: times we're seeing guys give those up, right, give seeing 2163 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:23,800 Speaker 2: guys pass up those shots in terms of like shooting 2164 01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:29,080 Speaker 2: percentage and not wanting to take their bad shots on Yeah, 2165 01:56:29,320 --> 01:56:31,840 Speaker 2: take the shot, fellas, don't shoot they're shooting it after 2166 01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:35,760 Speaker 2: the buzzer goes off. Take the shot. You're professional. Put 2167 01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:36,320 Speaker 2: it up there. 2168 01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:39,920 Speaker 3: It might go in at worst case scenario, and I 2169 01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,120 Speaker 3: think it goes in. That's the worst case scenario. 2170 01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:46,040 Speaker 2: And we saw and what really triggered me to thinking 2171 01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:50,440 Speaker 2: about this in a different way. Was last year with 2172 01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:57,080 Speaker 2: Peyton Pritchard with Boston. Yeah, he was hitting so many 2173 01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:03,240 Speaker 2: backbreaking three that felt like they were worth fifteen points 2174 01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:06,280 Speaker 2: because you got to go there. And at the last 2175 01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:10,040 Speaker 2: play of the game that y'all saw was Peyton Pritchard 2176 01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:12,600 Speaker 2: off the bench hitting you from three from the other 2177 01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:14,880 Speaker 2: logo and all of a sudden, you're. 2178 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,080 Speaker 3: Like, damn total momentum. 2179 01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:20,080 Speaker 2: Shit. Were dealing with Tatum, we dealing with Brown, were 2180 01:57:20,160 --> 01:57:22,320 Speaker 2: doing with Derek White, and who is who is this 2181 01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:26,800 Speaker 2: guy just knocking out fifty foot jump shots? 2182 01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:30,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're right. It's it's so impressive. And he 2183 01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:33,800 Speaker 3: became known for that, right like that was his thing, 2184 01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:37,680 Speaker 3: you know. And I was like wow, because every game 2185 01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:41,200 Speaker 3: you and to the point where I expected him to 2186 01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:45,440 Speaker 3: make them right exactly like they were subbing him in 2187 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:49,520 Speaker 3: at the end of the half quarters just hit one. 2188 01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:53,640 Speaker 2: Insane. I love it. That's that's every for real. It 2189 01:57:53,800 --> 01:57:56,400 Speaker 2: was getting to the you know, not quite free throw 2190 01:57:56,560 --> 01:57:59,720 Speaker 2: level for for Pritchard, but you know, it just shows 2191 01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:03,560 Speaker 2: to show you, yo, there's points out there, you know. 2192 01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:06,400 Speaker 2: And I if you're a player who's concerned about your 2193 01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:08,840 Speaker 2: contract and so on. I kind of get that, Like 2194 01:58:08,960 --> 01:58:11,480 Speaker 2: if you are a player who is like if I 2195 01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:15,040 Speaker 2: shoot over sixty percent from the field or something like that, 2196 01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:18,480 Speaker 2: then I get a kick up on my money. I 2197 01:58:18,520 --> 01:58:21,120 Speaker 2: would just like it to be like if the clock 2198 01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:24,080 Speaker 2: is expiring, right, you put a metric on it. If 2199 01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:27,600 Speaker 2: there's you know, a tenth of a second or less 2200 01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:29,840 Speaker 2: than a second left on shot clock er game clock, 2201 01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:33,160 Speaker 2: when this shot released, it doesn't count for my contract. Man, 2202 01:58:33,480 --> 01:58:34,040 Speaker 2: sign me up. 2203 01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:38,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, man. I like Peyton, you know what. 2204 01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:40,720 Speaker 3: The funny thing about Peyton Bridgett was like he's a 2205 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:43,720 Speaker 3: really good player. Oh, there's no doubt about it. He'll 2206 01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:47,520 Speaker 3: start on twenty nine other teams I think a twenty eight, 2207 01:58:47,720 --> 01:58:50,160 Speaker 3: twenty seven, twenty six, but he could stop right he 2208 01:58:52,160 --> 01:58:56,720 Speaker 3: but it's like he's there right now. He's accepted his 2209 01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:59,280 Speaker 3: role and he's done a hell of a job. I mean, 2210 01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:03,280 Speaker 3: he's he's made himself so valuable absolutely, you know, and 2211 01:59:04,000 --> 01:59:07,640 Speaker 3: again we all have the same twenty four. You know, 2212 01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:10,280 Speaker 3: he's just making the most of it. We were just 2213 01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:11,760 Speaker 3: talking about it. The ability. 2214 01:59:11,840 --> 01:59:14,760 Speaker 2: What's the difference between the level of talent that you 2215 01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:17,840 Speaker 2: have Vergul I'm not a grind that you have, like Lebron, 2216 01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:20,800 Speaker 2: incredibly talented, but you can't talent your way up to 2217 01:59:20,840 --> 01:59:23,440 Speaker 2: six nine, two fifty. You know, that's just that's just 2218 01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:26,480 Speaker 2: what God came down. Now did he maximize it? Oh? 2219 01:59:26,680 --> 01:59:30,440 Speaker 2: Jay Z twenty two years in, I say, I think 2220 01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:33,120 Speaker 2: Lebron probably got a lot out of it. Maybe not 2221 01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:37,400 Speaker 2: all he could, but he's not leaving home sad about it. 2222 01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:37,760 Speaker 3: Geez. 2223 01:59:37,880 --> 01:59:40,800 Speaker 2: Nineteen points on sixteen shots not very efficient for Lebron' time, 2224 01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:45,640 Speaker 2: not at all. Sixteen point, sixteen point game with six 2225 01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:49,640 Speaker 2: minutes left. This was about the time though, when the 2226 01:59:49,720 --> 01:59:54,800 Speaker 2: Fiftons decided we're just gonna not score again until the 2227 01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:57,000 Speaker 2: two minutes left in the game, and that's how you 2228 01:59:57,200 --> 02:00:02,680 Speaker 2: ended up losing. We'll see if ffty more championship level, Well, 2229 02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:05,240 Speaker 2: I guess Lebron's a more experienced guy. You see how 2230 02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:08,360 Speaker 2: this one breaks down. Aaron Torres and Jason Martin will 2231 02:00:08,440 --> 02:00:11,280 Speaker 2: have the breakdown for you coming up next. Martin Wise, 2232 02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:14,240 Speaker 2: Olden Polonies, see you see ya, Big Kerry
