00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it's an all is not lost for the

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: Bucks without Yiannis Blazer's jazz.

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 4: Right now, one.

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: Game until the big NBA All Star weekend is upon

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: us and we can really concentrate on things like tanking

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: and making sure the NBA is putting a great product

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: out there. Well, I mean, you can sell it however

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: you want. I mean people are gonna watch it.

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: They're not.

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: Maybe they didn't pay attention because of football season, and

31
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: then they came back in and realized, why are all

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: these teams so bad? Why are my stars not playing

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: all of these fun things? But it's become a perpetual cycle.

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: It's like trying to solve the All Star Game that

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: we I think that ship sailed a long time ago,

36
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: right in terms of what it is.

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: But for the NBA it's limping in.

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: Because unfortunately we have had a lot of dnps this

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: last week as people turned their attention from the Super

40
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: Bowl into the Olympics and the NBA. It's like, give

41
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: me something, yes, before you get to your All Star break.

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: You know, the thing is with the All Star break first,

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: because we had big, big tanking news today. Finally Adam

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: Silver is saying, oh, I have to do some things.

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: I'm the commissioner. But like everybody is so bent out

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: of shape about the All Star Game.

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Oh, the All Star Game is terrible. The All Star

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Game is this? The Alstar Game is not what I

49
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: grew up.

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: I think you.

51
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: I think people have this distorted vision of what the

52
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: All Star Game really was like like the All Star

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: Games were ninety five ninety two, you know, and there

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: were big free throws made at the end. Like the

55
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: All Star Games with Magic.

56
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: And Kobe and Jordans weren't one eighty five to one

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: sixty year, they were forty eight minutes of great defense

58
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: back and forth.

59
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: He cared, we can't.

60
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, look, people have this this different in vision

61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: of what the All Star Game really was. It's like

62
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: when when Homer thought, oh I remember that specifically, and

63
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: he thinks back to memory and he's all buff and

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: he's got muscles and he's smart, Like.

65
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: No, none of that happened.

66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: But like, everybody is so wound up, whether fans or

67
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: the media, about how bad the All Star Game is,

68
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: and I want to just say.

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: What the hell, why why are you so.

70
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: Bent out of shape about this? The All Star Game

71
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: is here, they're gonna play it. Then it's gonna be gone,

72
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: and we're gonna be into the rest of the NBA season, Like,

73
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: I don't see where this is now. Okay, now this

74
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 3: is in my way, this is preventing me from enjoying

75
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: my life because the All Star Game has turned out. Okay,

76
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 3: I get it, but like, I don't know if people

77
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: just want to wake up every day and be mad

78
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: about something. But the All Star Game has kind of

79
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: been this way for a long time. But it's of

80
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 3: life in general though, right. You romanticize things of how

81
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: you now perceive them, whether it's a relationship, a job,

82
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: or whatever else. Somehow, in hindsight, for most people, it

83
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: seems like you find some of the positive. I remember

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: that that was cool. We used to do that, or

85
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: this was you know, it was every once in a while.

86
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: You know, it was a red wine Friday or.

87
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: Whatever the case may be.

88
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have all of those kinds of service a

89
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: year or oh, just talking in general, I mean, take

90
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: it to where you're gonna go. But just the idea

91
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: that no, no, no, you still had the same foils,

92
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: you still had. Life wasn't great. Go back and look

93
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: at your history books. It's littered with hey remember that.

94
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: It's like no, I really don't. Yeah, no, that was bad,

95
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: you know, and things and even in your personal life,

96
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: your family stuff, things that were going on, but years

97
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 3: later you push it away. Likewise, sports we romanticize how

98
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: things were. And to some degree, yeah, it might have

99
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: been easier when you didn't have instant replay after everything

100
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: to show you what you might have seen. Let's get

101
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: it down to where its frame frame. But there there,

102
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: see right there, we didn't have that. It's like, all right,

103
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: the call got missed, you moved on. Maybe your local

104
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: news made a deal out of it, or they didn't.

105
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: But the fact that all these players must have been

106
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: nine feet tall, like the mon stars you're running them us. Sure,

107
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: that's kind of how we look at the ninety and look,

108
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: I'm guilty of it. I'm a Jordan kid, right, I'm

109
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: a Chicago boy. But the reality is the All Star

110
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 3: Game has long been a showcase, a feature set, and

111
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: I think the only thing I would agree with in

112
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: terms of it losing its luster, it's not the gameplay.

113
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: It's the fact that we see these guys all the time.

114
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

115
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: Back of the day, the NBA on NBC and even

116
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: into TNT and whatever else, would you get the same

117
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 3: eight to twelve teams showed up all the time. So

118
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: when it came to the All Star weekend, Hey, I

119
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: heard about that guy that plays for Charlotte, or I

120
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: heard about that guy. Yeah right, So that's really the

121
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: only difference to me is that we've got so much

122
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: a saturation of product that maybe the All Star Game

123
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: doesn't have the same juice that way. Well, and also,

124
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: you know, people have to understand that now in the

125
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: sports world that is always you know, hot take oriented,

126
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: this is the worst, this is the best. Like it's

127
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: okay that something can be fun and then you move on, right, Like, okay,

128
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: you watch you All Star game.

129
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: Yeah it's fun.

130
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: You get you get some you get some great athletic plays,

131
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: you laugh a little bit. You know, again, the game

132
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 3: is two ten to do, you know, one ninety five,

133
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: And now they're going to change the format and try

134
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: to keep people watching. Look, all all Star games are

135
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: doing right now? Are just trying to keep people around?

136
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: Are you just trying to slow the decline because you know,

137
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: less people are watching because All Star games aren't the

138
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: same and not what they used to be. So there's

139
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: nothing wrong with ay, Okay, I can enjoy this and

140
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 3: move on and if I don't like it, okay, But

141
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: to Suddenly it gets to All Star weekend and every

142
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: NBA fan media just wants to stand up and with

143
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 3: fire and brimstone and talk about how the basically that

144
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: the decline and fall of Western civilization is because the

145
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: NBA All Star Game isn't what you said part three, dude,

146
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: it's an All Star game and yeah it was heavy three.

147
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah number two was heavy metal. And now there's this.

148
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't get why people are so bent out of shit.

149
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Something can just be fun without a bigger meaning, right,

150
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't need to be I want to see blood

151
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: on the floor of the All Star Game. No, it's

152
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game. It is what it is,

153
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: and it's not. So we're gonna go on to the

00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: this is the most tremendous experience I had.

159
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: But this is what all star games are. It's easy

160
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: to be something that.

161
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Okay, if the All Star Game isn't what it used

162
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: to be, you don't think is what it used to be.

163
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Just just understand why are you so upset about it? Like,

164
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: why is this really just triggered people to just be like,

165
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: this is we.

166
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: Have to get rid of the All Star Game, and

167
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: now it's getting folded into all the other stuff with

168
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: the tanking that's now really taking center stage. But why

169
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: is this something that suddenly, oh no, this is this

170
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: is where I'm chosen to This is the hell I'm

171
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna die on the All Star Game of the NBA.

172
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: This everything I can point to that's wrong in my life,

173
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: I point back to the All Star.

174
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: You gotta blame somebody.

175
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: Adam Silver seems to be a convenient option right now.

176
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: But I mean, Billy Joel's saying it all those years ago,

177
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: the good old days weren't always good tomorrow and as

178
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: bad as a seem go back just less than a

179
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: week ago, right when we were talking about the Super

180
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: Bowl halftime show and how divisive and weird it got

181
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: in the world at large, in our sports media space whatever.

182
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: It recognize that not everything is for you from minute

183
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: one to its final thing. You can go get a sandwich,

184
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: as we suggested, people did, go walk the dog, go

185
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: grab a beer, Go to the bathroom, go say hi

186
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: to the people that showed up at your house.

187
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. Life will go on. Exit Hi, by

188
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: to Fresca, Exit Swallow Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon, Live

189
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now, the other part

190
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: of today is that look tanking in the NBA has

191
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: been done out loud for a long time, but this

192
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: year everything is sort of coming to a head at

193
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: once because we have a great freshman class in college basketball,

194
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: and you have one of any three or four players

195
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: could be taking number one overall.

196
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: So when you're.

197
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 3: Looking at NBA teams going okay, yeah, we don't think

198
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: we're gonna be any good.

199
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Hey, all we have to do is get in the

200
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: top three. We're gonna get a guy we want, right,

201
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: That's what it is, right, Okay, So now you're seeing

202
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: teams not playing players in the fourth quarter of games

203
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: because even the Clippers, who went on a sixteen and

204
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: three run, they just will decide, yeah, we're done, We're

205
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: not really gonna compare. We're gonna trade hard, and we're

206
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get rid of zoobots. We're gonna do

207
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: all of this.

208
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: So the tanking going on right now because of this

209
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 3: is now put this to a point where finally Adam Silver.

210
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 4: Has to act.

211
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: And today the Jazz and the Pacers got fined a

212
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: ton of money by Adam Silver standards, five hundred grand

213
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: for the Jazz and one hundred grand for the Pacers

214
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: because both teams recent games sat healthy players. While noting

215
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: that the moves compromise its integrity, it's not gonna be tolerated.

216
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: So basically what it was was Jazz and Pacers in

217
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,479
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of games didn't.

218
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: Play their best players. In fact, when.

219
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Will Hardy was asked, hey, why didn't you play Larry

220
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: Markinen in the fourth quarter against the heat?

221
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 4: You ever think about doing it?

222
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: No?

223
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 4: Wasn't doing it? No, not doing it? So ask answered yes.

224
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: So look and congratulations to everybody who has come around

225
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: to the fact that, hey, you know, Adam Silver is

226
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: not a great commissioner. I went back on Twitter and

227
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: I went back. It's been eight years of me saying

228
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: eight doesn't want to do anything. That's the thing about

229
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: Adam Silver. Eight years bun I'm looking for go where's

230
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: the first time they said? I'm going back through a

231
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: whole bunch of stuff. This is like looking at Adam

232
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Silver's great as it's oh yeah, oh Mark Cuban not

233
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: what anything about no Jihannis, no, nothing about that. Okay,

234
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm going through here, Okay this no, oh, this suspension

235
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: up right here.

236
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: Okay.

237
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: Chris Paul Noe all about like eight years, he has

238
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: never wanted to do anything. He doesn't want to upset

239
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: the owners, he doesn't want to upset the players. He

240
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 3: doesn't want to do anything, and he only acts when

241
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: he absolutely has to. And now he's got to do

242
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: something because now teams are not just tanking. Now they're

243
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: tanking saying yeah, and we're kicking sand in your face,

244
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: saying we don't give a crap. We're gonna tank and

245
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: we don't care. We'll even answer questions postgame about it

246
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 3: and say, yeah, not thinking about it, not gonna try

247
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: to talk around it. We are just going to tank

248
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: because this is the world that we live in. And

249
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: now finally Adam Silver says, well, I'm gonna find teams

250
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so yeah, so they heat that hundred grand, Yeah,

251
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: that's really gonna stop them from saying, hey, we're putting

252
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 3: extra ping pong balls in the lottery, Like Adam Silver

253
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: has never wanted to do anything again.

254
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: Eight years.

255
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: I've been telling you this.

256
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Now suddenly in the last couple of days, Oh, Adam,

257
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Silver's really screat Yeah, he's been this way for a

258
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: long time. You talking about ahead of the curve. Curve

259
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: didn't even exist. We were talking about this eight years ago.

260
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: And now finally he's starting to dip his toe in

261
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: the waters.

262
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 5: Up.

263
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna find you if you do this. You let

264
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: this get so out of control. Right, It's been going

265
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: on like this for a long time. But you never

266
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: want to step in to do anything. Anytime there's a controversy,

267
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: he's silent about it. He wait to see which way

268
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: the wind blows and then maybe he'll say something when

269
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: it's gone. Whether it's about China, whether it's about tanking,

270
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: whether it's about whatever it is, whether it's about fighting

271
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: and suspensions. He just wants to sit back and do nothing.

272
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to upset anybody.

273
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: The players love they have him where he's appened, like, hey,

274
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: he does whatever we want. He doesn't get involved in us.

275
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: We're good man. We love at him. So that's why

276
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: they always always say great things about him, because he

277
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 3: never he never goes against them for anything.

278
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 4: Does it go against owners either?

279
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Again, he wants to sit at his desk in New

280
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: York and polish his name plate and say, hey, I'm

281
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna send this email out the bottom, says Adam Silver,

282
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: NBA commissioner. He wants to do nothing, and now he's

283
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: being forced to waigh in on this, which it's about time,

284
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: but nothing close to what has to get done because

285
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: team is still gonna sit there.

286
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 3: You get put the genie back in the bottle, the

287
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: fact that you legitimately have a team saying, hey, we're

288
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: competitive through three quarters of the game, and ah, I'm

289
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: gonna sit my best guy down and let's see how

290
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: it goes like.

291
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: That's what we're at.

292
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: It's not even a hey, let's feign something on an

293
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: injury report so he's unavailable altogether. Hey, you tweaked your

294
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: back getting out of bed, right, you tripped on one

295
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: of your kids toys. No, here, you played three quarters

296
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: of great basketball, the games in the offing out of

297
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: hell with it, Sit down for twelve.

298
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 4: Minutes, grab a popcorn and hang out for a bit.

299
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: I really hope we win tonight.

300
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: I've been busting my ass for three quarters oh yeah,

301
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 3: but our best guys are gonna sit, so yeah, go

302
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: out there.

303
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: In the fourth.

304
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: But even look at how they adjudicated the fight the

305
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 3: other night. Stuart got seven games. Yeah, he's a multi

306
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: time offender. Oh yeah, but this isn't new with him.

307
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 3: Seven games Yeah, Okay, he'll be nice and fresh for

308
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: the postseason run.

309
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Ja Moran twenty five games instead of a season? Right,

00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: Right? Did you just spend your day updating the end

312
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 3: and Adam Silver's Wikipedia pages because you started going back

313
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: eight years, Like, well, I got a lot of instances here.

314
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: I could command like three chapters. I was like, this

315
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 3: is like the best of him, Like I'll remember that.

316
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 3: I needed that, And I mean, he doesn't want to

317
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: do anything. And there are commissioners that make bad decisions.

318
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: They are commissioners that that make strong decisions that turn

319
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: out bad. There's commissioners that make strong decisions that turn

320
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: out great. I think if you put all the big

321
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: decisions that in front of Adam Silver for the last

322
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: eight years, his record would look like what was it

323
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: in ted Lasso two years ago when they tied like

324
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 3: twelve games in a row, Like it would look like

325
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: two wins, eight losses and forty five ties, like cause

326
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: the ties all stand for nothing. Like when I do

327
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 3: nothing because of the tie, that would be like two,

328
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 3: eight and forty five, all those ties in a row.

329
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: You know what the problem, though, is because they've been

330
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 3: able to expand the league and now we're going to

331
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: have a couple of new franchises and the money's pouring in.

332
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 3: Roger Goodell has been following his suit. Now, remember he

333
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: was the hard ass all those years ago. Now it's like,

334
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? I mean, really, this where

335
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: you want to be upset about something? The All Star Games?

336
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: The All Star Game. Adam Silvery again he's the worst commissioners,

337
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: but he wants to do absolutely nothing.

338
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: That's fine.

339
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: I just say the name of Betman, just to say Betman,

340
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: because whenever we talk commissioners, you at least have to, Yeah,

402
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: Two big stories. The first one, I don't know if

403
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: I am jealous or if I want to be or

404
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: if I feel disappointed in snowboarders. Okay, like I don't

405
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: know if I jealous, disappoint disappointed. Right, So that's a

406
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: wide chasm. So today Chloe Kim trying to win another

407
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: gold medal comes in second. Uh, you can see the

408
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: elements were really bad and basically, you know, watching the snowboarding,

409
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think, if you don't fall, you're gonna win.

410
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Like that's kind of as long as you don't fall,

411
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: You're like you're gonna win. Like I would even do

412
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: any tricks. I would just go up the.

413
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just go up, wave, grab on them, you know,

414
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: slide down, because that's what basically what it was. But

415
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: I don't like, I mean, I don't know if I

416
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 3: should be jealous or if I should be mad at

417
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: snowboarders because when they fall, when they lose, losing is

418
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 3: not a big deal. Like I don't know what it is,

419
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: but it's snowboarders are are different than everybody else. Like

420
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: you would see a snowboarder go on and the play

421
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: ball all look at there's a seven twenty coming back down.

422
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: Now this's gonna be in Ah, so and so fell

423
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: and then they just get up and shrug and wave

424
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: and walk off. I'm like, this is four years of

425
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 3: your life for this moment, Like this is this is

426
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 3: a big deal, And they just kind of yeah, and

427
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: they look at the camera and they shrug, they wave,

428
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: they give the peace symbol and they walk away.

429
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 4: And I'm going, this is insane, man, you got how

430
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: are you not heartbroken?

431
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: But then I realize I'm watching the play and the

432
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: play by play guy, I mean, one of the people

433
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: that fell today he says, oh and so and so

434
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: fell that's gonna be it on the third run.

435
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, we'll see her again in twenty thirty.

436
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 4: I have no doubt.

437
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: It's like just so now, now, all of a sudden,

438
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: she'll be back in twenty thirty.

439
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: That's four years from now.

440
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: Like nobody it's like, hey, if you fall, like, hey,

441
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 3: no big deal, man, no big deal.

442
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 4: I follow it and win it. It's the Olympics. Yeah,

443
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 4: that doesn't matter.

444
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: It's years of coding and execution and practice and no

445
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 3: matter what your job is.

446
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: And then you hit the execute button and it doesn't work.

00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 3: like they're competing the right way where they can go

468
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: to such great lengths and compete itself a high level

469
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: and then let it go so fast?

470
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: Or should I be mad?

471
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: Going this is a big deal man, this is this

472
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: is the super Bowl, this is the Olympics, this is everything.

473
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 4: And is like, yeah, hey, you know you win, you lose,

474
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 4: ah whatever, they're both imposters.

475
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: No, that's the tough part of it, right, is in

476
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: our own lives, wins and losses. The goal is to

477
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 3: lay your head at night, at least from my thinking

478
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: of going one to oh, and you start that as

479
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: soon as you wake up, because you've already entered a

480
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: new day, so you're one to oh. You just need

481
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 3: to stay there, keep status quo. But to be on

482
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: that first off drug testing because okay, again, perhaps you're

483
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 3: just not on a nice high to go and do

484
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: tricks so you're not feeling it good. How much is

485
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: spent on rage rooms that we don't know about a

486
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: on the Olympic village so they can play nice on

487
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: camera and then immediately go and you know they've got

488
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: their knee and baseball bat ready to go and take

489
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: take care of an old printer or a fax machine

490
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: like it's off of space.

491
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: Take no, it's it. But let me read you a

492
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: quick clip. This is from Yahoo Sports.

493
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: For an hour, it seemed like Kim was cruising towards

494
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: a third straight gold medal and Olympic history for any

495
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: snowboarder man or woman, and then out of nowhere, a

496
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: metaphorical thunderbolt pierced the snowy night sky.

497
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 4: You're you're wrapped attention, right? Oh yeah, yeah, wow, that

498
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: seems different in the Olympia. Yeah, let's go. I'm like,

499
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: I'm watching catching she didn't fall, Like that's kind.

500
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: Of what it was.

501
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: I think he eventually got fall about four four or

502
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: five paragraphs later. But everybody else but the other thing is,

503
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: you know, in anything, you're trying to achieve in life.

504
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: And this is where we get into those those great

505
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 3: business courses and you know gurus out there. It's like,

506
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 3: if you're not failing, you're not trying. Yeah, so you're

507
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: just pushing the boundaries of what you've done, and then

508
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: it's a game of inches from there.

509
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: Well, I get so, I get the fill. I get

510
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: that you're gonna come down. You're gonna catch an edge,

511
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: right That's that's the big wide catcha.

512
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,199

Speaker 3: Feel like sometimes I can be an analyst now for

517
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: certain sport. I shake caught the edge right there, that's

518
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,639

Speaker 3: just make sure you check one off. Got the edge.

520
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: I watched the Edge with Alec Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins.

Speaker 4: right there. I get that.

525
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: You know, yes, you're gonna fail, and because that's the

526
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: whole thing with snowboarding, especially with the way what what

527
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: the conditions were tonight was really windy and snowy, but

528
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: just the just the able to just fall and go

529

531
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: off and yeah, everything's all right? Ah yeah, you this

532
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: was four years of your life for this moment. This

533
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: is a this is where you've lived for this. You

534
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: are being broadcast all over the world.

535
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

536
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 4: Whatever.

537
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: I aspired to that, Okay, I aspired to that as

538
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: one who beats himself up regularly. Can I get that

539
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: turn of phrase right? I didn't get it big enough

540
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: for spints, social media hated me. I'd swollen down, bring

541
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: the pain. Uh, But all of that, it's it's the

542
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: curiosity and certainly in the Olympics, and maybe maybe they're

543
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 3: just a better sport than I am, That's what I mean.

544
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, like do I should I be jealous

545
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: or should I be mad that this is how they really?

546
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 4: You're mad? Is that because you want the top price?

547
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 4: So just be mad?

548
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: You know you one of those lip chocolate medals or

549
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 3: whatever they're giving out.

550
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: I'm standing on the metal stand I'm okay, you e

551
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: be your second. Yeah, but you just won the last

552
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: two gold medals.

553
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, everybody's cool, man, everybody's all.

554
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 4: You know that third one, when it triggered a huge,

555
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: huge bonus.

556
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm walking off the course of and unzipping her jacket,

557
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: pulling out doritos to finish off the court, like I mean, like,

558
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: like that's how that's how easy and just lotti.

559
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: Ah they are.

560
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 3: It's insane. Now now I am jealous of that. I

561
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 3: am not gonna lie now you you you compare that

562
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: to where Olympic hockey is, and it's two entirely different things.

563
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: Because everybody was seeing blood today.

564
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

565
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Now the United States beats Latvia today, they hold doctor

566
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: Dooman check five to one, and uh it didn't look great.

567
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: After the first period was tied one one, the United

568
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: States had two goals disallowed, one for an offsides call

569
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: that I'm like, yeah, okay, maybe I could, I could

570
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: see it, but the goalie interference call that stopped the

571
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: second goal from going up was absolutely ridiculous. And the

572
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: fact that Latvian coaches challenges twice and he wins both challenges.

573
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: This is where my antenna is up and I go,

574
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: you know what, we are not going to be officiated fairly, right,

575
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: and forget about this stuff with chalk and bates, which

576
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: we'll get to shock and baits your team. I get

577
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: to the Olympics and I go, I know that the

578
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: United States is never going to be officiated fairly in anything.

579
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: It's always gonna be much more strict And whenever they

580
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: can put their thumb on the scale, they can, because

581
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: you can't tell me that was goalie interference.

582
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: It was the most ridiculous conversation.

583
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: And the fact the coach knew to oh, I'm gonna,

584
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know any coach that would say,

585
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: yeah'm gonna, I'm an appeal for goalie interference, Like what, like,

586
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: how would you that if you didn't know you were

587
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: going to get it right? So when I saw that,

588
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: and in the between first second period, I'm thinking, we're

589
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: gonna tie this game against Latvia. It's gonna be awful,

590
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be pissed. Then of course the second

591
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: period comes and they roll out and they score a

592
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: couple of goals and you breathe easier, and you know,

593
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: the one goal that Hellabuk gave up was a big

594
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: scramble in front. So things are okay, but like, I

595
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind.

596
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: This is where I come down when I go, yeah,

597
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: I know how we're gonna get officiated, and it's not great.

598
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: It is absolutely not great because you can't tell me

599
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: that you can't worry about it when you see calls

600
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 3: like this made. We've lost to Canada before in big

601
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: moments where hey, the official doesn't let the puck go

602
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: by and they can keep it in the zone and

603
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: score a big goal. Like I like, and I just

604
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 3: sit there and say, something's going to happen. There's gonna

605
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 3: be a controversial call, and two in the first perioding.

606
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 4: Has Latvia today.

607
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, come on, and and you know, you see

608
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: the makeup of the of the officiating crews and where

609
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 3: they're all from, and again, you're not gonna convince me that.

610
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: I feel like tam Usa is going to go out

611
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: there and get officiated down the middle just like everybody else.

612
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: The entirelymics not gonna happen, because I don't know how

613
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: you go back, you look at the goldie interference and

614
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: you say that's goalie interference. I don't know how anybody

615
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: looks at that and says goalie interference. Yeah, the over

616
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: under was six and a half goals the United States

617
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: twenty one hundred minus twenty one hundred.

618
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 4: Faith not the under. I have the under. Sorry, I'm

619
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 4: gonna We're just gonna get that up the board.

620
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: In the United States it was three and a half

621
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: was the spread and gold differential as well. So you

622
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: got that going for I mean, you had one of

623
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 3: the prettiest goals you'll ever see. But that's where you,

624
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: as as a fan on your couch or lazy boy

625
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 3: or whatever you have going on there, you need to

626
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: channel your inner snowboarder.

627
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

628
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: Well, also remember never let it go to the damn judges. No, no,

629
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 3: go and bludge in your opponent. And also when you're related,

630
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: you have that bit of that you know, Hey, I

631
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 3: know where you're gonna be, you know, or I'm that's fine.

632
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I can, I can put aside.

633
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: My Brady could took for the next two weeks and go, okay,

634
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: go get him. Like I could say, all right, let's

635
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: go get for two weeks, go get them, Let's go

636
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: two weeks. That's all you gotta get past it.

637
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 3: For two weeks. But I mean that was pretty believe

638
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 3: I dropped just the flow. I mean, I was trying

639
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: to think of which piece of classical music that I

640
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 3: learned by watching Bugs Bunny appropriate there, because that's how

641
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: most people got introduced to classical Yeah, yeah, yeah, Leopold Leopold,

642
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: Leopold leopol Uh. But I mean I watched that and

643
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: I go, yeah, anytime there's a chance we're gonna get

644
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: we're gonna get screwed with the officiator. I mean, I

645
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 3: can't believe the Chalk and Baits stuff isn't a bigger

646
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 3: deal when you know it gets led out today that

647
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: the French judge, you, oh, by the way, gave a

648
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: really high score to the French pair to beat them

649
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 3: in ice dancing yesterday, way above the norm of what

650
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: the other judges gave out and gave Chalk and Baits

651
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: way below the great the scores that everybody else is

652
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: given out.

653
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: So again, you can't tell me, hey, what what's going

654
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: on here? Like, I can't believe that's not a bigger story.

655
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: That is not Hey, the French judge put the French

656
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 3: pair on the metal podium at the top, scored them

657
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: way high scored chalk and baits way low and we're like, yeah, okay,

658
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: I mean I mean I'm like, well, they at least

659
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 3: from the poet from from their interviews called it out going.

660
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: Hey what are we doing here?

661
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 6: Yeah?

662
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know how in a sport like that,

663
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: right where, especially skating, where you allow judges from countries

664
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: competing to score their own countries. Like, I think, like

665
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: the country should have judges, But when it comes time,

666
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: you accuse yourself, right, Like that's the whole thing. I

667
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: gotta recuse myself here because I shouldn't be involved in

668
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: this because so like that, that's something I think should happen.

669
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: Have more judges, right, Hey, you're gonna judge here, you judge, Okay,

670
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: when the French pair skates, French judges out, United States

671
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: skates there, you know, United Kingdom skate whatever it is,

672
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: England skates whatever it is, and you need I think

673
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: that only makes sense because I see this and I go,

674
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: how is this not a bigger deal? Like, how is

675
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: this not something that we're going back to video review,

676
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: we're adjusting because you see they can do it on

677
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: the fly, right, that's the best part. Hey, where this

678
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: great is under review. So again, you know, maybe it's

679
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: it's that from last night coming into today. But again

680
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, anytime you Olympics comes, we're going to

681
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: get the short end of the stick. When it's World

682
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: Cup in soccer, we're going to get the short end

683
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: of the stick, men, women, whatever it is. We didn't

684
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: go to the World Cup four years ago because oh hey,

685
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: we wanna we want to say who was it that

686
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: scored the goal that never went in the net and

687
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: they gave it. They gave it to uh was it

688
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Uruguay that scored and that kept the United States out?

689
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: And they said the ball it bell bounced off the

690
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: the uh, the goal post and it never went in,

691
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: but they never checked it on VR and it gave

692
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: them a goal and they wound up winning and that

693
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: knocked us out. Like I mean again, we get to

694
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: we get to the world stage. I'm always going to

695
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: be suspicious.

696
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 4: That's just it. That's why you fight harder. It's going

697
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: to be suspicious, suspicious. I know, there you.

698
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: Go that that's what we want to I'm just suspicious.

699
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: I'm suspicious, absolutely suspicious.

700
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: Never mind everything going on with that French team, No, the.

701
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 4: Whole other dude, I had to I do explain.

702
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 3: Like my aunt called me today and she goes, hey,

703
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: can you explain the stuff with the ice dancing to us?

704
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 3: About the partners, I'm like, okay, okay, So the one partner, okay, yes,

705
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: no he won, He's got the different but he won

706
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: with the last one. This is the one with the

707
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: partner that she had the new partner because the old

708
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 3: partner had the whole sexual assault thing going on. It's okay, okay,

709
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 3: by It's see me. It's a loge, a lot of

710
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: job to get to. Then this horrible, egregious error in judgment.

711
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: In terms of the scoring, this is like if we

712
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: sent out Chris Farley and his partner from the Saturday

713
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: Night Live skit and he's falling all over the place

714
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: and I still hold up a ten at the end

715
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:27,880

00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 5: the last four months. He was a twelve pick in

755
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty four NBA draft, but he missed all

756
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 5: of last season because of a knee injury that he

757
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 5: suffered before the so he actually made his NBA debut.

758
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,480

787
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 5: o the beer too correct be He didn't drink it.

788
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: He just brought it into the dugout. As far as

789
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 5: you know, as far as he told me, he told

790
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 5: us in that letter. He wrote, he didn't drink it.

791
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 5: It was taken away from him. He was just mad

792
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: they took him out of the game. Sure for defensive purposes.

793

Speaker 4: No bueno, no b Back to you guys, Thanks a bunch.

795
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: I think I figured out the Norman Paul. Okay, he

796
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: may or may not have Jamaican citizenship.

797
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: Okay, may not, may or may not? Well, all right, may.

798
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: But that's what it's that. That's the theory that something

799
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: may well. I said, he may or may not. Maybe

800
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: maybe not. Some times he is, sometimes he is.

801
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 4: It doesn't.

00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,479

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best

820
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. So did not have this story on

821
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: my Bengo card today, but you know, hey.

822
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: When you bring a beer in a dugout, yeah, it's

823
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 4: a thing.

824
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: So Nick Costeanos again, we're not gonna have any deep

825
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: drives to left by Coustianos for the Philly anymore.

826
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 4: It's been there the last five years.

827
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: Has had moments, also not had great moments, and it

828
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 1: came out a couple of days ago. The Phillies told

829
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: him to stay home from spring training. Well wait a minute,

830
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: this is a guy that's been playing left field last

831
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: he was twenty one and seventy five. Okay, wait wait,

832
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: stay at home. Yeah, he's looked like they're going to

833
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: release him. Okay, well, kind of weird. Let's see what happened.

834
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: It happened today Phillies let Consteanos go, and the reason

835
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: put out there was stemming from an incident that happened

836
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: late in the season in which Costeanos disagreed with the

837
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: decision that manager Rob Thompson made and he was taken

838
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: out of the game. Now, I'm sure for Costians is

839
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: not just on out of the game once that this

840
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: was something that was built at and built around for

841
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: a little while, and he was so upset that getting

842
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: taken out of a game, not happy with how Thompson

843
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 1: was managing the team.

844
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: To prove a point, he went.

845
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 3: And ounce They left the dugout, went into the locker room,

846
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 3: got a beer, and brought a beer back into the dugout,

847
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: walked up, sat next to Thompson and said, basically, hey,

848
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 3: your way of managing, of going crazy for some things

849
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 3: and allowing other things to fly by, is not a

850
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: good way to manage. And now luckily teammates saw it. Dude,

851
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: you can't drink a beer. This is gonna make us

852
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 3: all look bad. So they got the beer from him

853
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 3: before he actually drank it in the dugout. He didn't

854
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 3: like san that to Thompson just started chugging. People are

855
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: going go go, go, go go. I mean, if he's

856
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: gone full stone cold Steve Off. He smashed two of

857
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 3: them together over his head.

858
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 4: Hey, pick me up so I can do an invert Kekestan.

859
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it.

860
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: So they got him away from it, and the relationship

861
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: between he and the team and Thompson was never the

862
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: same after that. And he owned up to it today

863
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: and said, yes, had the beer mere incident in the dugout,

864
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: and he talked about it. So I'm glad the guys

865
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: got to me before I made a situation worse. But

866
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: this goes to show you this is how bad things got.

867
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: That the dude was so upset that he decided I'm

868
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna go pour a beer and drink it in the dugout.

869
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: Well, his day was done, like yeah, in theory, sure.

870
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 4: He can't do anything else. So he just took him

871
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 4: out of the game. No, I get that, but okay,

872
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 4: so you can.

873
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: You're really not defending it, but I'm just saying legitimately,

874
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 3: he's not running.

875
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: Back out onto the field.

876
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But it's like he walked out like

877
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: Al Bundy with one hand in his pants and I'm

878
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: just sit down and it'll recliner.

879
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 4: And go hey peg no. I mean, this is him

880
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 4: walking in with a beer.

881
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not only gonna just do with a beer,

882
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it because I really want the

883
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: manager to understand how he's been managing here. And apparently

884
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: Castianos was on his own island with that because everybody

885
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: else seemed to be okay, and now he's the one

886
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: that's out.

887
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,919
Speaker 3: Well, it is Philadelphia, So I mean, we've had long

888
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: standing run of teams.

889
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 4: Where it's like, really it's a bit odd.

890
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 3: If you think about the Sixers and the jo Odyssey

891
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: of Joel Embiide, you how many guys you've been back

892
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: in the seventies brought beer in a dugout and on

893
00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 3: sidelines during games.

894
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 4: They all did.

895
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 3: Everywhere, filled out Eagles, Phillies, everywhere.

896
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 4: All they all did all brought beer in. How do

897
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 4: you think Pete Rose got that bowl cut?

898
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 3: These guys are all slashed by the time he got

899
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: to the fourth quarter, but it didn't matter.

900
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 4: They were playing well.

901
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: Hilt in the ball just you know, if he saw

902
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 3: three balls coming at him, he swung at the one.

903
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 4: In the middle and he did well. It's good advice. Yeah,

904
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 4: but like I can't get over that.

905
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: This is where you're at, where you're drink it a

906
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: pier in the dugout, and it's and it's and it's

907
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: not something that you think, Okay, you know what, maybe

908
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm a little maybe I'm.

909
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 4: A little out of control here a little bit, just

910
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 4: a tiny, tiny bit.

911
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 3: Well, but you need someone to center you and ground you,

912
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: and you don't always have that guy. Maybe he was

913
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: a man on an island with the team. Maybe he

914
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 3: didn't have the you know, the support he felt he

915
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 3: needed in that moment. He didn't feel. Hurd felt his

916
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: aggression was necessary to bring things to a head, not recognizing,

917
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: of course, there would be consequence. I mean, he's STI

918
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: gonna get his twenty million dollars final year of his

919
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: five year, one hundred million dollars deal, because I don't

920
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 3: what's the statute of limitations If you did that last year,

921
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 3: I bet shit a bunch you didn't play a lot.

922
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: We went a whole off season. I don't think you

923
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: can now say, you know what, we're not paying you.

924
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: We're finally a grievance. Yeah, yeah, you're also gonna lose

925
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: to the players Union.

926
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: Like about that.

927
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: You're eating twenty million dollars just to have him go away, right,

928
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: You're eating that money to say go away.

929
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 4: Not often do you back a manager like that, though,

930
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 4: I know about that, guys.

931
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: So tell me how much they don't like you know

932
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: again no more deep drives to left for cost allis like,

933
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: I still I can't.

934
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 4: I can't fathom that.

935
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: And it's just like I get that if you blow

936
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: up at the manager, you blow up outside, if you

937
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: get mad in the dugout, Like we see that, right,

938
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: we see, you know, an emotional decision, But to go

939
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: so cold and calculating, going, I'm gonna go get a beer,

940
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: bring it in because I'm going to prove some kind

941
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: of weird point here.

942
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 4: Now I'm gonna go next level with this, Like, no, dude,

943
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 4: what are you? What are you doing?

944
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: Man?

00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 4: Like, what are you doing?

946
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 3: You're sure he was clear headed when I because I

947
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: mean he might have just been still salty.

948
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 2: You know.

949
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: It's like I'm getting my beer. Damn it, dude, I'm

950
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: getting my post game beer now. But I gotta get

951
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: back in the dugout. When I first started coaching softball.

952
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 3: I was coaching Fall All Stars with a couple other guys.

953
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: I was one of the assistants and it was the

954
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: second It was like the end of a double header.

955
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: We were playing and one of the one of the

956
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: coaches said to me, hey, coach Jason, you want to

957
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: be here, and I was like, uh, well, we're playing.

958
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: The game is a poor one for you. Eddie pours

959
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 3: me a medello. Is my very first medello, and I

960
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: was like at the end when I had it, I'm like,

961
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is the greatest per I'm a

962
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: medello guy.

963
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 4: So he's like, yeah, yeah, you know, you have a beer.

964
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: And I'm like, and I see in the guys are

965
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: like drinking beer and I'm like, okay, these are ten

966
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 3: year old girls.

967
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: It's not like, you know, we're doing anything. But I'm like,

968
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: it's really really weird. It's like what do I do?

969
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: And so I took it out of the dugout and

970
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: I walked away, and I guy said, well, now I

971
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: look weird. If I don't, you know, I'm not one

972
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: of the guys if I don't take a ship. So

973
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: I took a sin to make a light dry and

974
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, that's really good. That's so I brought

975
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: it back and said, wow, what is this Like, Oh,

976
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: it's Medelo especially al.

977
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, it's fantastic.

978
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 3: And then I put it on the on the shelf

979
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 3: in the in the dugout and and didn't drink the

980
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: rest of time. But I felt weird about it, just

981
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 3: like this is, you know, just a fall ball, you know.

982
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: All Star I'm not doing anything illegal, but I'm like,

983
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: I felt bad about even having the dugout.

984
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: And he just said, yeah, I'm a millionaire. I'm bringing

985
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 3: us into the dug I canna sit down next to

986
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 3: the coach and drink it.

987
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 4: Bring things to ahead. He wanted to be one of the.

988
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 3: Guys that man, I'll tell you you love that sip.

989
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 3: Though I wish I had that second especially.

990
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: That's good stuff. He went, did you go straight to

991
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 4: the store after the game?

992
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, we're gonna make a detour to go get

993
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 3: a twelve pack of Medela coming up next? Hey, you

994
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 3: want a big hot take for NBA MVP ahead of

995
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: the All Star break, that's next Fox for the Mavericks.

996
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 3: My then line was going to be providing analysis. He

997
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 3: didn't play tonight for the Mavericks who are missing everybody.

998
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: I had a nice I had a nice, pregnant pause.

999
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't doing Kevin. If you didn't give him a TJ,

1000
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: he didn't know.

1001
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 4: That's all, okay, all right, that's fine. Yeah.

1002
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: But the fact that they were coming back out of

1003
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 3: a timeout and it was just a solo shot Dirk

1004
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: for like two minutes, yeah, before they pulled back it

1005
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 3: and the balls already in play, Like are they having

1006
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 3: difficulties with the VA.

1007
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean from crypto just how it's like the guys

1008
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: doing the game or just talking to Dirk while the

1009
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: game is It's almost like a Manning cast going on

1010
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: while the game has happening.

1011
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's a new age of media. Hey,

1012
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 3: well what do we do tonight? Yeah, no, Luca, no Cooper,

1013
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: flag and whatever you want. I don't care. It doesn't matter.

1014
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 4: It's streaming. Well that's me.

1015
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 3: They're just gonna be sitting on the court doing their

1016
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 3: analysis and you're just gonna have to play the game

1017
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 3: around them, you know. No, Austin Reeves tonight, Lebron is playing.

1018
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: He's got eighteen and six and eight assists so far.

1019
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: Again, late in the second quarter, final game before the

1020
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: NBA trade deadline. Lakers lead at fifty seven to forty

1021
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: four now ahead of All Star Week, and this is

1022
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: this is where you know what I was thinking about

1023
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: this today, going, man, we haven't really had a great

1024
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: or big NBA MVP conversation lately, and usually every year

1025
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: in the NBA, Well, we want to talk about it

1026
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: for the first week after the first month, or sure,

1027
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: sure at the Christmas MVP, the New Year's Day MVP,

1028
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: the holiday for holiday weekend MVP, the bye week of

1029
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl MVP, Valentine's Day.

1030
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 4: I get after it. Who's Valentine's MVP, Who's your Valentine?

1031
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 4: Pick your MVP.

1032
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm gonna get you a little out

1033
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: there with this because if you said, right now to me, okay,

1034
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: who are your three top three candidates for NBA MVP

1035
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: right now?

1036
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 4: Okay, who are the candidates right now?

1037
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: Nbad three guys you have there, I feel like I

1038
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: do it the right way right because I can't just

1039
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 1: sit here and watch and you know I'm saying this

1040
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: truth because I'll say, because you know who is in

1041
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: the same boat, Jokic and Jalen Brunson right, because I

1042
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,439
Speaker 1: I can't sit back in every year and just say, hey,

1043
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: these guys are great and clearly you know, yok, it's

1044
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, forty five triple doubles. But it's hard for

1045
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: me to sit and watch every year in the regular

1046
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: season the Nuggets are the same. You know, they're they're

1047
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: a little bit upper tier the Western Conference, maybe their second,

1048
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: maybe their fourth.

1049
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,280
Speaker 4: But like last year with the thunder jumping out.

1050
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: The way they did, Sga is you know, wins MVP

1051
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: at yeah, because he helped bring them to the Western

1052
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: Conference title, went on validated for the playoffs and won

1053
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: the NBA title. Right, Like, it's hard for me to

1054
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: sit here and say this guy's the MVP when every

1055
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: year the Nuggets are the same. They're a fifty some

1056
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: odd win team, they get to the playoffs and then yate.

1057
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes they go all the way, sometimes they get knocked out.

1058
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: Same thing with the Knicks, right, Jalen Brunch is terrific,

1059
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: But the Knicks what are they Their fifty to fifty

1060
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: five win team, get into the playoffs and now still looking.

1061
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 3: To try to break through. I can't dog poop, I

1062
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 3: can't stop. Hey, come on, the Jets are getting Derek Carr,

1063
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 3: give me a break on this. Yeah, yeah, there's no laughing.

1064
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 3: You know your guy is two hundred and fifty to

1065
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 3: one right now. Yeah, yeah, he's not gonna win. No,

1066
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: he's not going The chance for MVP are good now,

1067
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 3: I yeah, I'm telling you, I can't. I can't sit

1068
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: here and say, well, the Knicks are having the same

1069
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 3: regular season they've had the last three years. Can't say

1070
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson's them. I mean, the Jogis thing is just

1071
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 3: a little nuanced over to the last year's, right, because

1072
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: portand Ginger's gone and Gordon's hurt. So as they navigate

1073
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 3: this and try to keep upper tier, it's a lot

1074
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: more on Jokic. So the odds would reflect that of hey,

1075
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 3: he may have to carry a bigger, bigger workload whatever, and.

1076
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 4: Then you know the numbers will be there. Yeah, but

1077
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 4: you know, in the end, MVP is not Player of

1078
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 4: the Year. It is not.

1079
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: You know, your team can stink if you're good, they

1080
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: can stink if you're bad, but you need to do

1081
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: something in the regular season. Now, normally, hey, it might

1082
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: be enough for a guy like Joki. Your brunts and hey,

1083
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: number two team in the in the conference and we're

1084
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: playing really well. The two number three, we're playing really well.

1085
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: But there's three guys and two of them are gonna

1086
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: shock you. Well, I'll tell you who I got a

1087
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: number one, Okay, and I'll go, oh, dude, he's unanimous.

1088
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 3: He's gonna be voted to Team MVP. You're standing up

1089
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 3: for guys. Come on, man, he's already in the top five.

1090
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: Come on, man, he's he's right there. Number three. And

1091
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 3: again it's it's who's having this kind of season and

1092
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: is leading their team to a place where hey, without them,

1093
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 3: where would you be?

1094
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 4: Right? Okay, number three?

1095
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 3: And I never thought I would say this because I

1096
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: thought the days like this for him were done over

1097
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 3: the course of his NBA career. But number three, Kevin

1098
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: Durant comes into this year. No Fred van Vliet floor general.

1099
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: What Kevin Durant? What's he gonna do in his late thirties?

1100
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 3: How is this gonna go? How is Houston? I mean,

1101
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 3: they have to be We talked about them going into

1102
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 3: the opening week of the season. You got to be

1103
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 3: devastated when you lose your floor, Jennien, You're expecting to

1104
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 3: build on last couple of years ago. We're gonna break

1105
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 3: through and now, yeah, you're big, Kevin Durant. Really, I mean,

1106
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 3: what do you really think is gonna happen?

1107
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: And here are the Rockets now near the top of

1108
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 1: the Western Conference, right They're a top four team. Nobody

1109
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: thought they would be this high. And KD is at

1110
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: the top of the league in scoring. He's doing so

1111
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: much for them. Like I thought, this is gonna be

1112
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: a year where Katie takes a step back. He has

1113
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 1: his games once in a while, but he is doing

1114
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 1: everything for them. Re Lam is their number one score

1115
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,959
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, just like I thought, Hey,

1116
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: Mellow's running out of gas. Nope, he's got a little

1117
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: bit more left. James Harden running out of gas. Nope,

1118
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: got a little more left.

1119
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 4: Like KD.

1120
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 1: Okay, a lot of miles, a lot of points. Is

1121
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: he really gonna be someone that the Rockets can say, Okay, KD,

1122
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: you're a guy.

1123
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 4: And he has been. He has been tremendous for the

1124
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 4: Rockets this year. Now here's there's a bunch of names

1125
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 4: ahead of him.

1126
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 3: Then we'll get into some of the particulars in terms

1127
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 3: of the batting markets. But right now, Brownie, no Ronnie,

1128
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 3: that's in some calcy fugazy. Did he get in the

1129
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: game tonight and Bronny get in the game yet, that

1130
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 3: is to vote all Star?

1131
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 4: That is true. Yes, that is ye, that is true.

1132
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 4: That is true.

1133
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: And he will put the ball up plus one hundred thousand,

1134
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 3: so one thousand to one for your guy, KD. But

1135
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 3: he's been magnificent, and he's clapping back and chirping. He's

1136
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 3: actually giving a bunch of headlines. Oh yeah, I had

1137
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 3: nothing to do with tanking or whatever. He's some of

1138
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 3: the All Star game stuff. But he's give to be

1139
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: excited about the All Star Game. Okay, yeah, we'll see.

1140
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 3: The old heads are getting all the criticism.

1141
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll see. Yeah. I like that.

1142
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 3: There's at least a little fire there. Let's see if

1143
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 3: he comes out and torches him. We have slim reaper

1144
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 3: getting after it.

1145
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: KD number three, okay, number two, wemby forty games. Now

1146
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: he missed a little bit of time, but not so

1147
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: much time.

1148
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 3: The Spurs have gone from now we're a lottery team.

1149
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 4: We're trying to figure it out now. Yes, they made

1150
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 4: great moves.

1151
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: They drafted well, I told you I would take Steph

1152
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: Castle number one overall g I could be an nbagm,

1153
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: but Wemby has just been on a different planet. He

1154
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: could have scored one hundred the other night if they

1155
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: kept win the game against the Lakers. But you look

1156
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: at the Spurs now, twenty two games over five hundred

1157
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: and as good a front half plus of the year

1158
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: the Thunder have had. The Spurs are right behind him,

1159
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: to the point where I'm not going to be surprised

1160
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: if the Spurs wind up the number one seed in

1161
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: the Western Conference. I told you before the season, this

1162
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: is the year Wemby becomes the most talented player in

1163
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: the league.

1164
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 3: This is the year it happens. At some point between

1165
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 3: now and the end of the year, we're going to

1166
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 3: say it's Wemby, and while yes there's a good supporting,

1167
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 3: who's the guy out of the top of it, just

1168
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 3: like SGA was last year, It's Wemby. I got Wemby

1169
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 3: number two. Yeah, okay, see taking another l tonight going

1170
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 3: into the break, SGA missing some time right now.

1171
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 4: Wembin Yama sixty to one.

1172
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the fifth favorite on the board, but sixty

1173
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 3: to one, showing just how disparate the betting market is

1174
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 3: at this point, and now on top heavy. But he's

1175
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 3: just been magnificent for ever every way, shape and form,

1176
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: I mean defensively, every SHOT's altered. The fact that he

1177
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: hits three pointers as he does it still offends my

1178
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 3: sensibilities as a short.

1179
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 4: Man who can't shoot or really do much of anything.

1180
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 4: That a seven to seven guy on a basketball court. People. Yeah,

1181
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 4: that this guy could just say, you know what, I don't

1182
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 4: think I'll add this to my game.

1183
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 3: You might have shortened. He might be seven eight, you

1184
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: could be seven. It could be seven seven nine by tomorrow,

1185
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. Still growing.

1186
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wemby number two. Who would be my favorite for

1187
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: MVP right now? Who would I say if I had

1188
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: to vote right now for NBA? I who am I

1189
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: voting for?

1190
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 4: Jose? So?

1191
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 3: I wish I could vote for Lucas It's Kate Cunny.

1192
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 3: I wish I could twenty one over there the planet Detroit.

1193
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: But Detroit is more of yes because they had a

1194
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: big rise this year, which you got to tell it

1195
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: my two.

1196
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 3: But it's a guy that's getting a little bit of

1197
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 3: run right because he's kind of worked in obscurity now

1198
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 3: on a national stage, right he's not been mentioned with

1199
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 3: the rest of these guys when he's a known commodity,

1200
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: some of these other guys have gotten their shine.

1201
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 4: Kate Cunningham has been able to just get to work.

1202
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: It's a deep team and they play a lot of

1203
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: guys a lot of minutes. And not that Kate Cunningham

1204
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: isn't the best player on the team. I just was

1205
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: two years ahead of saying how good he was going

1206
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: to be years for them? Two years No way, that

1207
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: was awful. Actually, I'll be right right now. But you

1208
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: saw it ahead of the game. You were ahead of

1209
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: the curve. The guy would vote for right now for MVP,

1210
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: and and I don't know that I would even have

1211
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: it close with the with the other two guys is

1212
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. This is a Celtics team that lost who

1213
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: you thought was their best player in Jason Tatum the

1214
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: end of last year's playoffs.

1215
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 4: What kind of year is this gonna be for the Celtics? Right?

1216
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: It's not right when you're losing Jason Tatum? How well

1217
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 3: can you really expect to play? Do you think you

1218
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 3: can make the playoffs? You think maybe you can be

1219
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 3: in the in the playing round, that's what you're thinking.

1220
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 3: They didn't make a lot of great big moves in

1221
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 3: the offseason move it's gonna be okay, you know, this

1222
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 3: is gonna be a reset year. Maybe we hang around

1223
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 3: a bit and Tatum comes back at the end of

1224
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 3: the year and we do a little something. But when

1225
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: Tatum comes back, and this is you know, the drama

1226
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 3: we talked about a few days ago, Jason Tatum, is

1227
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 3: he gonna come back because he's coming back to a

1228
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 3: team that is not his He's coming back to a

1229
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 3: team that is Jalen Browns.

1230
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 4: He's fourth in the.

1231
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: League in scoring and the Celtics are in second spot

1232
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: in the East. Never thought they would be this high,

1233
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: but they're right there. They're probably not gonna pass the

1234
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: Pistons the six game lead on them. But there's no

1235
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: way the Celtics should be this good. There's no way

1236
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 1: losing who you thought was their best player. And now suddenly,

1237
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: not only has Jalen Brown been someone that Okay, you're

1238
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: the best player, you're the guy we around. Okay, I

1239
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: get that, but they figured it out and this is again,

1240
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: they didn't make big moves and big changs that were

1241
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: bringing in somebody else to be the number two with

1242
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown until until Jason Tatum comes back. This is

1243
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: Jaln Brown's team. I don't know how awkward it's gonna

1244
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: be when Jason Tatum comes back. Oh, but that was

1245
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: the question before before the injury, right as they were

1246
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: going through the season last year. How long can it

1247
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: stay together? How long can these two co exist at

1248
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: the top. And that was before they won, But it

1249
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: was even before that it was all right, this is

1250
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: a tenuous situation as to who wants to be the

1251
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: guy because Jason Tatum's not that Ford brash out like,

1252
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: he just wants to seemingly kind of go along, right,

1253
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: whereas Jalen Brown is the guy that goes up and

1254
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: down the roster, goes up and down the lineup, and

1255
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: we'll call guys out and make that pitch for them

1256
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: to work a little harder and no certain terms, not

1257
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 1: that Tatum doesn't do it, but demonstratively on the court

1258
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: we've seen just a different temperament. And going forward, it

1259
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: was will these two be able to rally? So that

1260
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: question is not answered yet. Yeah, right, you know what

1261
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: you got. I mean, it's Luca Garza is really what

1262
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: the difference maker is there.

1263
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 3: But but for Jalen Brown, I mean, re establishing the

1264
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 3: guy that he was a couple of years ago. And

1265
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 3: they'll have some decisions to make, and everybody asks to decide,

1266
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 3: all right, can we do this and keep this this

1267
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 3: base together or does it implode? I don't know on

1268
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 3: the comeback trail now is Tatum we may get our

1269
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,919
Speaker 3: answer sooner than later. Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's

1270
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 3: a it's a case of you can see where whenever

1271
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 3: you can get a visual where you can see where

1272
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 3: a team is without a player, you can see where

1273
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 3: a team is with a player's ascension. It's a lot easier,

1274
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 3: right than to say, well, you'll catch is the best player?

1275
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 3: But like is he is he raising their level? They're

1276
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 3: a team that hey, we go through the regular season,

1277
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 3: we win fifty to fifty five games. Okay, I get

1278
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 3: it right, But again it's two different awards. I see

1279
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 3: the difference in the Celtics who have now lost their

1280
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 3: bed who we thought was their best player, and suddenly now,

1281
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 3: yeah we're fine, We're just as.

1282
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 4: Good as we were without them. Well, and we had

1283
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 4: a guy who is our new best player.

1284
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 3: It's why either Myers or Christian Gonzales should have been

1285
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 3: Super Bowl MVP. One guy who had all the kicks

1286
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 3: that he made, or Dixon the punter, and then Gonzales

1287
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 3: saved it from becoming a complete and utter unwatchable game.

1288
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresco exit Swallen Dome, Jason Smith,

1289
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Top

1290
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: three NBA picks right now and descending order. If the

1291
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: Lakers were better, I would say I would say Luca.

1292
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: If Luca was still healthy, I would say Luca.

1293
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 3: I mean, really, he's currently tied with Cunningham third favorite

1294
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 3: at twelve plus.

1295
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 4: Don't care what Vegas says.

1296
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 3: Frostburg's on hold with Vegas right now. Just wanted to

1297
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 3: make sure that they pumped the odds up for mem little.

1298
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 4: Bit Laker glow around to Matt halftime. Jalen Brown, Wemby,

1299
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 4: Kevin Durnant
