Please, What 39 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: do you mean we're not talking about Jokic winning the 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: MVP hours ago? It was you guys are seeing this 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: Tuesday morning. We are recording this Monday afternoon hours ago, 42 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: Adrian Wadrinarowski release that he has been told Nikoli Jokich 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: is gonna win the MVP. Now, we all knew this 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: was going to happen, but there was still I was 45 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: still holding out slight hope that maybe it wouldn't. 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 3: But it has. 47 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: So they say, we're not talking about it. We are 48 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: going to talk about it for just a moment. I 49 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: know you're sick of the Joki stuff, demons, I don't care. 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: Here's the deal, guys, it is just impossible to me 51 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: to believe that people could be watching these playoffs and 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: watch what Yiannis is doing, Watch what the Sixers looked 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: like the two games without Embiid and the two games 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: with Embiid and this series, watch what Luka is doing 55 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: on a nightly basis, and still be like, Yeah, Nikola Jokic, 56 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: he's the best player in basketball. So I would have 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: less of an issue with Jokic winning the MVP if 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: the folks who voted for him overwhelmingly. We're gonna see 59 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: when the votes come out that it was overwhelming, if 60 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: they had some shame, if they had some humility, But 61 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: they won't. So instead, here's what I request triple down 62 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: on it. Guys, He's gonna put up these same numbers 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: next year. Let's go three in a row. I am 64 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: now rooting for Nikola Jokic to win MVP again because 65 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: folks tell me it's a regular season award. Playoff success 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: doesn't matter at all, all time historical standing doesn't matter 67 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: at all, and what happened the year before shouldn't matter 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: at all. So if Jokic has unbelievable BPM plus and 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: VORP and PR next year, let's just give it to 70 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 2: him again because by the way, he will. And last 71 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: little point, those precious advanced analytics that folks act like 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: are infallible. 73 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 3: You do realize that. 74 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: A big part of his case was defensively, he was 75 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: better than Embiid this year. He was better than Giannis 76 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: this year. You watching these playoffs, is that you still 77 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: think that or you think maybe it's a little embarrassing 78 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: for the league. Then for the second straight year they're 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: gonna have to award the MVP via Skype. I think 80 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: it is all right, Demanse got that out of the way. 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: What are we starting with? Because I have a feeling 82 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 2: it is something I'm much more excited to talk about 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 2: than Nikolea Joki's winning another silly MVP. 84 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 4: He sounded pretty excited to talk about him that or 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: winning the Okay, fair enough, but we all know you 86 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: started your celebration with Luca and the MAVs. Oh they 87 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 4: took game four to tie this series. Yeah, what's going 88 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: on here? Are the Suns just overrated? Is Luca unstoppable? 89 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 4: Or is this just another CP three playoff curse? 90 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: All right, a little bit of everything. I want to 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: start with Chris Paul. 92 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: Now, all right, I'm. 93 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: Gonna explain something to you because I think it's fair 94 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: to say you know nothing about tennis, right, about the 95 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: rules of tennis. 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 3: So the numbers, they go about fifteen and thirties at. 97 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: Fifteen thirty, okay, you know that, but they in general, 98 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: you don't know a lot about tennis. So here's so 99 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 2: in men's tennis, it does. It goes fifteen thirty forty game. 100 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 2: So you need to win four points to win a game, okay, 101 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: And you need to win six games to win a set, 102 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: and you need to win three sets to win a match. 103 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: It's best three out of five sets. Okay, this this, 104 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 2: this will make sense in just a moment and in fact, 105 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,119 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm so confident this will make sense 106 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 2: for our social team. Put this out there, starting right 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 2: about now. Where Chris Paul is in his career is 108 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: like an aging great tennis player who will go into 109 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: a match and say, I can't be excellent every set, 110 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: and in fact, I'm going to need to take a 111 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 2: game or multiple games or a set off just forfeiting, 112 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: essentially not try to fight and claw. So I lose 113 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: the set six to four. But if I know I 114 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 2: can't win the set, lose it six love, save my 115 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: energy so I can win the next one because I 116 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: only need to win three out of five. That's where 117 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: Chris Paul is right now in these series. Watch him 118 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: in the Pelican series unbelievable nineteen points in the fourth quarter, 119 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: thirty points in the game, zero turnovers than a four 120 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: point game, whereas in the Sun series unbelievable tortures Luke 121 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter of Game two, seven turnovers, awful 122 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: in game three, fouls, fouls out of game four. So 123 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: Chris Paul can't be great every night at this point, 124 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: just turn thirty seven. The question is can he be 125 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 2: great four out of seven times? 126 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: Thus far? 127 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: As in this series he's been great two out of seven. 128 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: I think he has determined that if he tries to 129 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: be above average to very good every single night, he 130 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: won't have any great performances. So I think he is sacrificing. 131 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: He's just taking the out on certain management within the game. 132 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 2: Exactly right. So he's thirty seven. He's been excellent or 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: awful in almost every playoff game this year. I think 134 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: he's like an aging tennis player. I think it makes 135 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: sense the Sun's being overrated. I don't know that they're overrated. 136 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: I do know what they did the first two games 137 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: was not sustainable. They were shooting like sixty five percent 138 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: on long tubes. And the reason the Sun should be 139 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: nervous is this, it's two to two in the series. 140 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,559 Speaker 2: They are as a team, as a team shooting fifty 141 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: forty ninety. For this series, you shoot, they're fifty one 142 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: percent from the field, forty three percent from three and 143 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: ninety percent from the line. You go fifty forty ninety. 144 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: As a team that's going to regress a bit, that's 145 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: going to water's going to find its level that you 146 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: need to be up three to one, they're not. I 147 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: love where the MAVs are at and of course Luca 148 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: is one of the greatest players ever. He's flatly simply 149 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: one of the greatest players ever. Eventually everyone will recognize it. 150 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: All right, what's next? 151 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 4: Okay Taving for Game four of Warriors Grizzlies. Yep, John 152 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 4: I missed the next game due to injury. 153 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, he said on Twitter that Pool broke the code. 154 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it didn't seem like Jordan Poole that hurting 155 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 4: it was intentional. 156 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 3: Did do you think he did anything wrong here? 157 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: No, I don't think Jordan Poole did anything wrong. And 158 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: I actually don't even think John Morant was that angry 159 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: at Jordan Poole. I think John Morant was angry at 160 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: Steve Kerr for what he said about Dylan Brooks. I 161 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: think Steve Kerr up to the ante on all of 162 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 2: this by saying Dylan Brooks broke the code, By essentially 163 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: saying Dylan Brooks intentionally hurt. Gary Payton Jr. Went in 164 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: it was a dangerous play, it was a reckless play. 165 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,239 Speaker 2: It was not an intentionally dirty play. That's utter nonsense. 166 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: And so now I watched the replay a thousand times, 167 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: I'm not even certain that's where Jah hurt his knee. 168 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: And again, there's a chance Jah is gonna play Game four. 169 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: You guys are gonna hear and see this after Game 170 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: four as we are recording, it looks like he's not 171 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: gonna play. I'm not even sure that's where he hurt 172 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: his knee, first of all. Second of all, I absolutely 173 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 2: don't think that was intentional, nor do I think it 174 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: was dirty. 175 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: And when you put things in slow mo like that, 176 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 4: it can make things look a certain. 177 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: One absolutely right, right the idea that Jordan poole. And 178 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: by the way, even if he was grabbing at his 179 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: leg on purpose, I don't think it would be to 180 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: hurt the guy. I think it would be to regain 181 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 2: his balance, try to not jaw a balance that's not dirty. 182 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: You want to see dirty in these playoffs, watch Jay 183 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: Crowder on a nightly basis, like what Jay's doing. And so, 184 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: but I think that we're in a weird spot where 185 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: you know, hard fouls are now flagrant ones, flagrant ones 186 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: are now flagrant twos. Flagrant twos now get you suspended, 187 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: And so I don't think anything that happened with Jordan 188 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: Pool's bad. By the way, I try to not cross 189 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: pollinate the podcast and the TV show. But I had 190 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: such a great take from the TV show I want 191 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: to debut it with you right here. 192 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 3: Okay, so let's start. 193 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: So Dylan Brooks got suspended, right, but he kind of 194 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: got suspended for two games because he committed that foul 195 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: and Gary Payton Junior less than three minutes into game one, 196 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: so he got or game two, he got kicked out 197 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: of that game and then suspended. Here is what I propose, 198 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: and there is context and present for this. In college football, 199 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: if you get a targeting penalty like helmet to helmet intentional, 200 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 2: you get kicked out of the game. If you get 201 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: that targeting penalty in the second half, you get kicked 202 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: out of that game and you miss the first half 203 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: of the next game. So I propose that the NBA 204 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: create and it can only be applied after the game, 205 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: a flagrant three, and it is instead of a suspension, 206 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: it is a forty eight minute penalty. So if you 207 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: get because if Dylan Brooks had committed that exact same 208 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: Llungary Payton Junior with two minutes left in game three 209 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: or game two, pardon me, he would have missed those 210 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: two minutes and then the next game instead, he committed 211 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: it two minutes in the game two he misses all. 212 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: So here's how a flagrant three would work. If you 213 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: commit a flagrant two that is harsh enough to be suspended, 214 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: but not harsh enough to where you're like, you know, 215 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: kicked out of the league for ten games something ridiculous. 216 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: You are out for forty eight minutes. So if you 217 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: committed it with six minutes left in the second quarter, 218 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: you are kicked out, and you can come back the 219 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: following game with six minutes left in the second quarter, 220 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: you are suspended, so enough time to where it is. 221 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: So for Dylan Brooks, he would have been eligible to 222 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: come back in with two minutes and fifty two seconds 223 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: into the first quarter of the next game because that's 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: when he committed the penalty. It's like a hockey penalty 225 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: box type of things called a flagrant three. It wouldn't 226 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: be called in the game. It could just be applied 227 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 2: after the game. It because he deserved a harsher punishment 228 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 2: than Drama Aymon got a flagrant two, got kicked out, 229 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: but he did not deserve essentially a two game ban, 230 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: flagrant three forty eight minute penalty. Send it in Adam. 231 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: Solber One don't think he deserved to be suspended for 232 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 4: any time? 233 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: Well, I would have agreed with you if not. Two 234 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: things change that, and then we move. 235 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: On to one he didn't pick him up or like. 236 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 2: No, I'm not worried about that. One is the guy 237 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: got hurt, right, and that I think maybe should matter. 238 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: And the other is they set the precedent on flagrant 239 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 2: to no suspension was Draymond's and you can't say what 240 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks and Draymond did are the same severity. So 241 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: once they overreacted to Draymond's thing, they you know what 242 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: I mean, you almost have to al right, what's. 243 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: That makes sense? The big story of the playoffs so 244 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: far as officiated, it's been terrible. 245 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris Faull found out in twenty three minutes against 246 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 4: Dallas on Sunday he can't win a game officiated by 247 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 4: Scott Foster. 248 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 249 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 3: The Celtics lost due to a crazy no call. Yeah. 250 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost because Tatum was terrible. No, they lost 251 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: because Tatum was terrible. And if they you think Marcus 252 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 2: Smart's gonna make all three free throws. 253 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 3: I mean they lost what was it two points? 254 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: They lost? My two. Do you think Marcus Smart's going 255 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: to make all three free throws? 256 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: Because I don't he'll make two. 257 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they were down three. He's shooting the three. 258 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: He needs to make all three, all right. 259 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: But go ahead. 260 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 4: But yeah, and there were two huge Jackson's already in 261 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: the Memphis Warriors series. After all these great playoff games, 262 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 4: how is the conversation about officiating? 263 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: The NBA has got an officiating problem. Yeah, And I 264 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: think it was Miles Brown who suggested this on Twitter, 265 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 2: and I tend to agree with him. They need to 266 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 2: recalibrate and air on letting the games get way more physical, 267 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: meaning call it looser than tighter. That way, stars aren't 268 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 2: in foul trouble. The players can figure out kind of 269 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: how the game is being allowed to be called and 270 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: then move on from there. With that said, for the 271 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 2: Celtics game, the Marcus Smart thing was close, But they're 272 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: really mad that Yannis keeps bullying them. But Yannis either 273 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 2: gets fout or commits a foul every play. We've seen 274 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: it with Shaq, we've seen it with Lebron. Part of 275 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: being the biggest, strongest guy on the court and sports 276 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: is supposed to be an advantage. 277 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 3: The go ahead fouls are one thing. Goaltending is another. 278 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: They missed a goaltending call, that's fair. They were also 279 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: down by thirteen in the fourth quarter, and Jason Tatum 280 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: try not to be terrible again the Chris Paul thing, 281 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: And we're gonna go a little overtime because we have 282 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: to talk Giannis, but not way overtime. Chris Paul. I 283 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: have no sympathy for him in this spot. First of all, 284 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 2: let's just go through out. Chris Paul foul out. He 285 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: got three fouls early, goes to the bench. Manti Williams 286 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: then takes a risk with forty five seconds left in 287 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: the second quarter, puts Chris Paul back in the game 288 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: to try to steal a couple of possessions. Yeah, you've 289 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: been in the league fifteen years, you gotta know the 290 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: one thing I can't do is foul. With two seconds 291 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: left in the half, he fights for a rebounds fifty 292 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: to fifty. Call foul. That's foul number four. Then early 293 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: in the second half, Chris Paul did a thing that 294 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: the NBA officially specifically changed the rules on because of 295 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: Chris Paul, which is I'm dribbling the ball up court. 296 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 3: You. 297 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: You are just trying to run up quart as a defender. 298 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: I swerve in your path and stop, so you run 299 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: into me and I fall down. The NBA changed the 300 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: rule this year to call that an offensive foul. He's 301 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: got to know that. And then the six to one 302 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: he grab dude's arm like I just don't have simp 303 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson's arm. And if anybody should not be able 304 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: to be like ah, I got screwed by a judgment call, 305 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: it's not Chris. Paul has been tricking officials whole Career's 306 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: great butler. Give me a breath, all right, we mentioned Gianis. 307 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: Let's do Yanis quickly because we're a little overtime. 308 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 4: As much as me and the Celtics would like to 309 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: blame the losses on the officiating, yeah, we gotta admit. 310 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: You know, Jannis has been beating us alone. But you know, 311 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: if if Giannis doesn't take over. 312 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: The Bucks are losing. 313 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 4: And you always talk about how Lebron is held to 314 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 4: a super high standard in the playoffs, isn't Gianni's held 315 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: to that same standard, if not higher, well not higher. 316 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: I've never seen an athlete hell do a more unfair 317 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: or higher standard than Lebron. But yeah, Johannis, he'll do 318 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: a crazy I sand best player in the league should 319 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: be I mean, the the fact of the matter is 320 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: Yiannis was like twenty five, ten and eight in the 321 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: first two games. I don't think you played great. When 322 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: you are the best player in the league, you have 323 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: an expectation to be dominant more often than you're very good, 324 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: and to once or twice a playoffs be bat That's 325 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: why Yannis is on a different level than everyone else 326 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: right now. And I've been saying Yiannis won Luca two 327 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: folks killed me for it. I'm yet to see Luca 328 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: one game, much less multiple games like we saw Kadie. 329 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: You see Luca one game less, much less multiple games 330 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: like Chris Paul has had or Jason Tatum has had. 331 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 2: But Joel Embiid's been very good in these playoffs and 332 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: he got hurt. I think that's gonna age really well. 333 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: But the I think we're gonna we have a bet 334 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: on Buck Celtics. It's not looking good for you now. 335 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: By the time people see this, maybe the Celtics will 336 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: have won Game four prediction for something that will have 337 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: already happened. I think Tonight is the night, meaning yesterday 338 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 2: when you guys hear this game, four is the night 339 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: the box go crazy from three. The Bucks are up 340 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: in this series and they're shooting twenty eight percent from three. 341 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: That is bad news for Boston. When you guys are 342 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: hearing or seeing this, I think it's three to one Milwaukee. 343 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: It's a risky thing for me to do because I'm 344 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: saying this before a game that will have actually already 345 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: happened by the time you guys hear and see this 346 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: or all look like a genius. Bucks hit at least 347 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 2: sixteen threes, win easily, and it's three one Milwaukee. We'll 348 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 2: be right back. 349 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 3: We'll see about that champ. 350 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 5: This episode is brought to you by Unstoppable.

Is like, 366 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 4: you know, he's carrying, he's beating the Celtics and stuff. 367 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: But I feel like when you see what the correlations, 368 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 2: when you see what they look like with them or 369 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: without them, of course, but it's just this and this 370 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: guy says, you notice how silent Nick Right was when 371 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: Yo Kicch was balling on Games four and five. I 372 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: have a goddamn two hour television show every day, I 373 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: do a podcast twice. I'm never silent about anything. Just 374 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: here's the thing, folks, And I'm gonna sound real arrogant here. Okay, 375 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: folks whose entire platform is Twitter, don't understand that people 376 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: with an actual platform might be saying things about something 377 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: without tweeting about Oh, tweets from Game four? No, just 378 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 2: two hours on TV about it? You ready go love that? 379 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 3: All right? 380 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: Welcome back in Welcome Nick Wright podcast. We are an episode. 381 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: This is unbelievable that we are an episode. I'm seventeen already, 382 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: Demond's a it's a B block. What are we starting with? 383 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: Hard net is best game as a seventy six are 384 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 4: on Sunday? Yeah, since Embeat has come back, Philly hasn't 385 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 4: lost a game. 386 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: It's with Sunday. What we should expect from Harden and 387 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 3: Beat or was this all just a mirage? 388 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 2: It's not what you can expect from Harden and the 389 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: thirty one, seven and nine. He might put up those 390 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: similar numbers again, but the way he did it. So 391 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: I tweeted this in real time, but that I said, 392 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: I think this might be one of the best playoff 393 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: fourth quarters of Harden's career. And then we checked this 394 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 2: morning for the TV show and this was sixteen to 395 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 2: the fourth was literally the most points Harden has ever 396 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: scored in a playoff fourth quarter in a close win. 397 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 2: He scored seventeen once in a blowout, but this was 398 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: so it was the best fourth quarter because even vintage Harden, 399 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 2: great James Harden struggled in the playoffs and the fourth 400 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 2: quarter in close games. So you can't expect him to 401 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: be this dominant as he was in the fourth quarter yesterday, 402 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 2: but you should be able to expect him to occasionally 403 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 2: pop for thirty points, but more importantly, even if they don't. 404 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: And the reason I felt so strongly about Philly in 405 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: this series was Miami has no answer for Mbi and 406 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 2: Embiid was at sixty percent in Game three in Philly one. 407 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: He was probably seventy five percent in Game four, and 408 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: Philly won. I don't think Philly's gonna lose again this series. 409 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: I think that Philly is in a spot right now 410 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: where there's no answer for Embiid. He causes so much 411 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 2: pressure because Miami is a great defensive team, but they're short. 412 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 3: Bam is awesome, but. 413 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: Bam is six ' eight Embiid seven to one, he's 414 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: got to be close to three hundred pounds, and he's 415 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: just so physically dominant that I think this is a 416 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 2: bad matchup for Miami. I I have a real shot 417 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: to be undefeated through two rounds of the playoffs. As 418 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: far as series predictions I have for this round, I 419 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 2: have I have the Bucks, Sixers, MAVs, and I have 420 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 2: the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies one is on life support with 421 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: Joab being injured, but so maybe three out of four. 422 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: But if Joss hurt, then I feel like I'm off 423 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: the hook, right if you have best player that's hurt. 424 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 2: But I didn't even back down on the Philly thing 425 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 2: when we found that Embid was missing the first two games, 426 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: I said the same thing that I said about Luke 427 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 2: in round one. If Embiid's back by game three, I 428 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 2: think they can win. I don't think Miami has an answer. 429 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 2: One other weird thing to watch with the Heat. Duncan 430 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: Robinson signed a five year, ninety million dollars deal a 431 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 2: year ago. Duncan Robinson made eight three pointers in the 432 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 2: first game of the playoffs. 433 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: He's played what a minute? 434 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 2: He's played one minute, and he's not hurt. Since Game 435 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: one of the playoffs, he has played a total The 436 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 2: Heat have played eight games. He has played a total 437 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: of forty four minutes. Now, I understand he's a defensive liability, 438 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 2: but you you're supposed to be a great defensive team, 439 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 2: and you are you need to be able to have 440 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: a defensive liability out there when they're like fourteen of 441 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: fifty from three in the last two games, when he 442 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 2: can shoot like that, Duncan Robinson being thrown to the bench, 443 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 2: glued to the bench, I should say, when he's an 444 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: eighteen million year for the next three years is baffling 445 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 2: to me. All Right, what's next? 446 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 3: They need you in the they need you in the move. 447 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, a lot of these teams do. But 448 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: the Heat are well coached. I just don't get it, 449 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: all right, what's you know? Who? We did see yesterday though, 450 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: real quick for the first time in forever, Markeith Morris. 451 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 2: He made an appearance for the Heat, which was good 452 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: for him because he did have to miss fifty games 453 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 2: this year because the back to back MVP shoved him 454 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 2: in the back when he wasn't looking and he got whiplashed. 455 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 3: But nobody wants to talk about that on himself. We're 456 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 3: not about this. 457 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: I'm not a big mor Swins fan. He didn't get 458 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: shoved in the back while he wasn't looking, all right, 459 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: what's next? 460 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 3: Yeah? 461 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 4: A few weeks ago on Twitter, you jokingly put out 462 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 4: a tweet for US for Kyrie. 463 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 464 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 4: Well, you know, strangely enough, when Kyrie had the whole 465 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 4: COVID thing going on, so there were rumors of Kyrie 466 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 4: being traded for US. 467 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 468 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 4: So what do you think the chances that Lebron ever 469 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 4: gets his old teammate back. 470 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think Kyrie and Lebron are teaming up again. 471 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 2: I think that it would be great for both parties. 472 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: I think that Kyrie listen. Kyrie in his career, in 473 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 2: his career, has played nine games in the playoffs after 474 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 2: Round one without Lebron alongside. He has played zero Conference 475 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: finals games without Lebron alongside him, zero NBA Finals game 476 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: without Lebron alongside him. Now, Kyrie's out here talking about 477 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 2: a four year dynasty in Brooklyn. I think it'd be 478 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 2: better if they could put together four good weeks of basketball. 479 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 2: But the problem with Kyrie and KD is neither one 480 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 2: of being your two best players. You need somebody who 481 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 2: knows how to lead a group of men, which in 482 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 2: sports matters. And Kyrie and Katie, for how brilliant they are, 483 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 2: is how brilliant Katie is a player, and how brilliant 484 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 2: Kyrie is as an offensive player when he can be 485 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 2: bothered to play. They've never been leaders. But yeah, I listen, 486 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 2: the folks will at some point recognize that I know 487 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 2: what the hell I'm talking about that I of course 488 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: the Nets were shopping Kyrie, and of course Kyrie threatened 489 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: to retire if he was traded. Like I said, all 490 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 2: of this a long time ago, and of course there 491 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 2: was There weren't a lot of teams that would are 492 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: that interested in Kyrie with everything that goes along with him. 493 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: The Lakers would be one of them. He had shooting, 494 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: Lebron has won with him. So yeah, I mean, if 495 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: the question is do I want to take a victory lap? 496 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 3: I am. 497 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: I am honestly a little exhausted, and I have a 498 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: side stitch from all the victory laps I'm having to 499 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 2: take recently. I mean, just nailed the Nets, I'm nailing 500 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: the Suns and the MAVs. I nailed Buck Celtics, like 501 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: a lot of victory laps. But okay, we can keep going, 502 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: or we're gonna play a game now. This or that 503 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: can make me more obnoxious than that, we'll find out. 504 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 4: Go ahead, it is time for this or that, which 505 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 4: fan base should be more upset Seahawks fans hearing Pete 506 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 4: Carroll kpe up for Drew Locke, or Raiders fans watching 507 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 4: Tom Brady admit. 508 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 3: He fumbled in the Tuck Rule game. 509 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: Oh, the answers, Seahawks fans. Everybody knew Tom Brady fumbled 510 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 2: in the Tuck Rule game. And listen, Tom Brady, I 511 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 2: get it. You know, he had gone third six hours 512 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: without being a topic on talk shows, and he was like, 513 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: I need to get my name back in the news 514 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 2: cycle here. So he did some TikTok trend with Justin Bieber. 515 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: But Pete Carroll acting like Drew Lock is anything other 516 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: than one of the very worst quarterbacks in football is 517 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: just a disaster. Why they haven't bit the bullet and 518 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: traded for Baker Mayfield, I don't understand. Unless the answer 519 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: is because they want to be terrible. If it's that 520 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 2: they want to be terrible and try to get the 521 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 2: number one pick. 522 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: So be it, okay. 523 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 2: But if they think they can actually compete with Drew Lock, 524 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 2: they got another thing coming. 525 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 3: All right. Baker Mayfield situation is what right now? 526 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 2: Is he just no, they haven't released him, they haven't 527 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: traded him. He's still on the Browns. I think the 528 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 2: Browns might be quietly a little concerned about Wait, how 529 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: long is Deshaun Watson going to be suspended? Is it 530 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: possible he's suspended the whole year and we need a quarterback? 531 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: That makes sense, But that's. 532 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 2: Not what they're saying. What they're saying is they're going 533 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: to move on from him, just nobody wants to pay 534 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: him the eighteen million. All right, what's next? 535 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 4: Odell went to the Sun's game in a Booker jersey. Yeah, 536 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 4: which NFC contender should sign him, Arizona or Dallas? 537 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 3: All right? 538 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if we have a picture of what 539 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: Odell was wearing. And I know this isn't the answer 540 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 2: or the question, but the Dallas isn't going to sign him. 541 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: I don't think they have the money. Arizona has spent 542 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: so much on white They just made a first round 543 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: for Hollywood Brown DeAndre Hopkins only going to miss six weeks. 544 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 2: They've spent they have wide receivers, not what they need 545 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: in Arizona. So I don't think either. My answer to 546 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 2: that is neither. But I do. Odell's my buddy. I 547 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 2: like him once point a time of his company, No, 548 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 2: not his company. No, no, no, that's in the post 549 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 2: show pod with de Monse. Odell once pon a time 550 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: when you had hair similar to what he had, he 551 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 2: facetimed you and told you what to do to keep 552 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 2: it nice, like what products put in there? I like Odell. 553 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 2: I can't say Tom Brady was like thirty six hours 554 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: without getting attention without mentioning that Odell Beckham Junior wearing 555 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: what he wore to that Sun's game, sitting where he sat. 556 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: It's a little little attention start. Don't put this on 557 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 2: social guys. This is a podcast exclusive for people who 558 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: are watching and listening. But Odell Odell wearing the jersey 559 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 2: and the shorts and the like multi colored jewelry. 560 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 3: This is the same game where we have the do 561 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 3: rag one right he just listen. 562 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: There are certain folks that really really need in every 563 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 2: instance to be the center of attention, even when they 564 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 2: are literally not the center of attention, and listen. I 565 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 2: have a little bit of that in me, you know, 566 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: I talk into a camera and on my phone for 567 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: a living. I get it. But it was I didn't 568 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: think it was the best look imaginable. I thought it 569 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 2: was a better court side look than Ben Simmons court 570 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 2: side outfits when he wasn't playing, but not much. All right, 571 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: what's last? 572 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 3: What's worse? Michelson losing forty million dollars on gambling over 573 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 3: four years. Yeah, or my breath? Okay, well your breath 574 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 3: on the plane? 575 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,959 Speaker 2: On the plane, So can we show Demonse's tweet.

Dude, I'm 578 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: sitting next on the plane. Gave me a piece of gum. 579 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: I started eating the piece he gave me, and then 580 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: he slid another one my way. He speaks no English, 581 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: which made it even funnier. Breath must be mollow, and 582 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 2: then a bunch of laughing emojis. First of all, props, 583 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 2: I think that might be the first time you've ever 584 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: properly used a Spanish term.

We maybe need to adjust the clocks. 589 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: By the way, we're at seventeen episodes, and I think 590 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: we need to adjust the clocks to twelve minutes twelve minutes, 591 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: since we've literally never hit him except for once. 592 00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 3: He's about to get somebody fired. 593 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 2: No, I'm not getting anybody fired.

I missed the whole Bay. 683 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 3: And still came back the same day. 684 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 2: And it was the only game that entire playoff run. 685 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 2: Lebron was bad and I just got heckled by Celtics 686 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 2: fans the whole time. It was not an enjoyable experience, 687 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 2: and none of it was good, none of it was worthwhile, 688 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 2: and it cost me with your mom, But your mom 689 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: is in Belize with your auntie for her birthday. Bleep, 690 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: the age for her birth start for your auntie's birthday. 691 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, your mom's not here, So I 692 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 2: really wanted to go. I had a plan because I 693 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: had tickets waiting for me for the Sixers game, and 694 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: I found great tickets for the MAVs game. And my 695 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 2: plan was I was going to early Sunday morning, fly 696 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 2: fly to Dallas for the game. The moment the game 697 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: was over, fly to Philly, get there about mid second quarter, 698 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 2: and then watch the end of that game, and then 699 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 2: drive back here. And then I realized that it was 700 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: going to be amazing. It's just going to be his 701 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 2: epic day, and it was going to be expensive. But 702 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 2: I have gotten so many speaking of bizarro film wicals 703 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 2: and so many bets right in these playoffs. I've got 704 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 2: money to spend on these playoff games. And then like 705 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: literally Saturday night, you know who reached out to me, 706 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 2: my sister, and she was like, so what are we doing? Like, 707 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: are you coming over for Mom's thing tomorrow? I'm like, 708 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 2: oh my mom.

My mom lives a half hour away. 710 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 2: I almost I almost just just totally to do a 711 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: multi NBA tour instead of seeing my own mother. My 712 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 2: poor mother, who's gonna hear this and be super pissed. 713 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 3: So how close did you get to going through with it? 714 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 3: Before you? 715 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 2: I was looking at flights, I was figuring out I 716 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 2: was the flight. I had already decided I was doing 717 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: the Dallas thing. The question was how far is it 718 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 2: from the airline to the because there's two airports in Dallas, 719 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 2: how how far is it from the arena to the 720 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,799 Speaker 2: airport in Dallas and in Philly to where? Did I 721 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 2: have any chance of getting to Philly before the game 722 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 2: was over because there was only like two hours between games. 723 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 2: But it's not that long of a flight. I thought 724 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 2: I was gonna be able to do it. It's gonna 725 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 2: be historic.
