No, I 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: mean it, We'll play for you. The genius that is 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: Dan Byer with the completely accurate prediction of the end 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: of Game one of the NBA Finals upcoming. What a game, 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: what a life? Right? I was watching the last night's game, 14 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: and it's kind of fascinating to watch right where you're 15 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: you're watching and you're like, it's not really that close 16 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: a basketball game. But the the Pacers, here's the cliche. 17 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: They do what they do, right. That's like the worst 18 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: worst cliche ever, But in this particular case, it actually 19 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: makes sense they do what they do. The other thing 20 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: that's crazy about the game is that Tyrese Haliburton he's 21 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: just kind of a guy. Most of the game, he 22 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: really didn't do much. But then he hits the game winner, 23 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: and holy cow, Tyrese Halliburton, Oh my goodness, what are 24 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: we gonna do there? The final score is one eleven 25 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: to one ten. Haliburton hits the game winner with point 26 00:01:53,720 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: three seconds to go as they rallied from were they 27 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: down fifteen in the fourth quarter. It's craziness, craziness. Here's 28 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: what I want to do. Like we can do the 29 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: formatic radio show, or I Killed the Grass with the 30 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: big hot take and then we take calls or something, 31 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: or we can just talk. I'll give you something I 32 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: saw that's kind of interesting here. Okay, so I love 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: Alex Crusoe. We do know why Alex Crusoe has bounced 34 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: around the league and had to earn his way into 35 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: league from the G League before becoming such a gigantic 36 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: part of the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's it's like the 37 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: do you remember what election was? It was it when 38 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Clinton won where it's it's the economy stupid? Right When 39 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: when George H. W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton, the 40 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: line was it's the economy stupid. Like to me, it's 41 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: the it's the shooting stupid right that as much as 42 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: he's become a consummate professional, a very good shoot, a 43 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: very good player, he checks back into the game for 44 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: Cason Wallace ninety four, ninety nine, ninety four, ninety nine. 45 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: But Caruso missing two threes late in the game that 46 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: kind of triggered the run. Triggered the run was he 47 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: missed two open threes, and Alex and then lou Dort 48 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: missed one late, and you're like, why does it matter 49 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: that Crusoe misses two threes? Why does it matter that 50 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: lou Dort misses misses a three late? Because those are 51 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: your worst shooters. And in trying to figure out, okay, 52 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: how did this happen, How did they make all these shots, 53 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: how did they score? Et cetera. Think about the comeback, right, 54 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: You had Pascal Siakam, he had two different trips to 55 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: the free through line he made three out of four. 56 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: You had Andrew Nebhart making a three. Uh, you had 57 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: Miles Turner making threes. You had Obi Toppin making threes. Now, 58 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that Obi Toppin is a is a 59 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: great shooter. Doesn't mean Miles Turner is a great shooter. 60 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: But that's what they have molded their NBA careers into. 61 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: They have improved dramatically. Turner has always been a good shooter, 62 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: made himself into a forty percent three point shooter, right 63 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Nay Smith forty nine and a half percent three 64 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: point shooter. Toppin's only at thirty four, but he was 65 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: running a fever last night. And the big story to 66 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: me is that they got Oklahoma City to have their 67 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 1: non shooters shoot, and they came down and smartly made 68 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: threes late, and they had one put back and a 69 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: couple of free throws late as well. In other words, 70 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: perfect analytics basketball up until that last kind of pull 71 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: up jump shot. But doesn't really matter, Hey, tremendous analytics 72 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: basketball at both ends, making the sub thirty five three 73 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: point shooters shoot and not allowing shots at the rim 74 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: only two's after the non shooter shooting to three and 75 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: then taking threes and layups yourself. But I mean that 76 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: one was weird because that one seemed another one seemed over, 77 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: and even the Oklahoma City crowd like wasn't freaking out, 78 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: And then it happened so fast, bang bang bang bang bang, 79 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: topping with a bunch of threes, Miles Turner a couple 80 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: of threes, and all of a sudden you're like, that's 81 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: getting kind of close. And then lou Dort fires off 82 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: when it misses and they come down and another one. 83 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,119 Speaker 1: You're like, oh my gosh, we have ourselves a game bayer. 84 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: You will play it for people. We put it on 85 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: social media. You literally predicted this thing, like to the 86 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: t on what could or would happen with the Pacers 87 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: having a lead late When I say game one NBA Finals, 88 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: what's the first thing that comes to your mind as 89 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: to what you actually saw. 90 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the Pacers doing it again. And you 91 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 3: try to find points in the game, Doug where you're like, Okay, 92 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 3: this is where it turned. 93 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: That's where it turned. 94 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of the twelve point lead because 95 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: it's never as big as you think, and it's never 96 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: as small as you think, because sure of the three 97 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: point shot, you could be at eighteen and you know, 98 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: two possessions and it gave me down to a six 99 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: point game and the same sort of breath. But we 100 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: were hovering around that area. So the nine point lead 101 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: at that three minute mark was big, and again three 102 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: point shot. Nie Smith hits it, and now it's a 103 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: six point game and it's a close game. 104 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: Throw out. 105 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 3: The crazy part that I thought what was was big 106 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: You mentioned Caruso. Remember at the end of the first half, 107 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: Caruso had a shot at the buck at the right 108 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: at the bucket and it didn't go down, but they 109 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: still led by twelve. But that was a half where 110 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: the Pacers had nineteen turnovers and they only led by twelve, 111 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: Like Indiana was only down at that point. And it's 112 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 3: at that point that I'm thinking to myself, well, this 113 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: is still a ballgame if Indiana just decides to hold 114 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: on to the basketball. And the reason why yesterday I 115 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: said what I said was because I felt that that 116 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: is the turning point of it. If you navigate that 117 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: stretch the final six minutes in you're Oklahoma City, You're 118 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: You're in a really, really good spot. No, not only 119 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: are the overwhelming favorite, but you have done something that 120 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 3: the other teams have not been able to do when 121 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: they faced Indiana. But if Indiana does it now, I 122 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: feel that the series has turned. Because you can look 123 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: at all the bad things that Indiana did in Game 124 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 3: one and said, wow, they still were able to come 125 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: in and steal it. So that's why the stretch, it 126 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: just felt, was so important because it just felt like 127 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: a tone setter for the series that it's going to 128 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: go one way or the other. Either Oklahoma City is 129 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: going to end the Pacers' streak of comebacks and kind 130 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: of right or wrong of their own from what happened 131 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 3: in the Denver series, or now Indiana is fully into 132 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: the series with a legit chance to bring home the 133 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: NBA title. 134 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Hmm Yeah. This is one where I can never understand 135 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: nor any of us can, the mentality of each individual team. 136 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I do think that for the Pacers moving forward, their 137 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: thought process has to be we could not have played 138 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: any worse than the first half. We played fine the 139 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: second half, and then we caught a heater and we 140 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: did we did, we came back and win the game. 141 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Imagine what happens if we actually play a good first half. 142 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: I could clean first half mm hm. For Oklahoma City again, 143 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: you would think the thought processes which you want positive is, 144 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: hey man, we were up nineteen, like we're the better team. 145 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: All we gotta do is just step on their throat 146 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: next time. On the other hand, there's never going to 147 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: be a part in the game where you're looking up 148 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: at the lead thinking we're good, right, it's just never 149 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: like we did, never, never good. And as much as 150 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: you can say, well, hey, maybe that makes Oklahoma City 151 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: a young team, step on their throat and make a 152 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: fifteen point game a thirty point game next time. Maybe, 153 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: or maybe you're up that magic number of twelve what 154 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: you're talking about, and Nie Smith hits a three and 155 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Diagno's going to take quick time 156 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: out and they kind of start freaking out and get tight. 157 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: But none of us know what's gonna happen. We just know, 158 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: like psychologically, it could literally go either way. And that's why. 159 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: And I know Jay's off, He's up hiking in Big 160 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: Bear today. Jay's two. But that's why he hates the 161 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: stupid prediction game because you can't tell the mentality. You 162 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: can't tell how one ball goes in what doesn't go in. 163 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: But I have to tell you that that was one 164 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: of the most thrilling endings. Look, every part of me 165 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: should want Oklahoma City to win, just again, as you 166 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: guys know, my kids all live in Oklahoma now right. 167 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm close with some people in that organization. I know 168 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: people in the Pacers organization too. I think it'd just 169 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: be great for the city, great for the organist, and 170 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: the people I know in the organization tell me that 171 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: the people above them in the organization are all like 172 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: great people, like there's just no bs to them. I 173 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: like everything about it. So my ties should be to 174 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City. But watching a team kind of methodically, not 175 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: freak out, not panic, hit a three, you get a 176 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: stop at a three, you get a stop at a three, 177 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: you get a stop, And then watching that crowd get tight, 178 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: watching the thunder get tight, watching the officiating get to 179 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: be totally even right, that's a big thing. Like it 180 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: got cut to six and Shay got kind of a 181 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: he got one of those free through merchant Foulsy's like, 182 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: all right, they're gonna give him a couple of calls 183 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: to get him. But that was the last call he got. 184 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: Then the next two pull up jump shots he got 185 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: nothing on normally regular season get called a foul and 186 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: it was not. And that was one of the most 187 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: thrilling comeback wins I can think of. In the NBA Finals, 188 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: and again I end up rooting for the Pacers, only 189 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: not because of the contrarian to me, But I just 190 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate how hard it is what they've been doing, 191 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: and how smartly they execute what they're doing. 192 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: And I would even say that the comebacks that they 193 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: had in the other games were more miraculous than this 194 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 3: one was, because this was this was closer than over 195 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: the final ninety seconds to two minutes than it was, 196 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 3: say in the Cleveland series or in the Bucks series, 197 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: where the Thunder did have to make plays. They didn't 198 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: make a bucket for the final ninety seconds of the game. 199 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 3: You like, there's a there's another one for Oklahoma City, 200 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 3: and you wonder, now how that creeps in? 201 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: What Jalen Williams too big, too big missus. They're late, 202 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: right And as as he goes, so goes to Thunder. Obviously, 203 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Shane misses what could have been the game Seiler could 204 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: have put them up up three. Here's Tyrese Halliburton on 205 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: how his team performed overall this game. 206 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 5: If you look at all the numbers, it's not the 207 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 5: recipe to win. We can't turn the ball over that much. 208 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 5: We got to do a better job of beating gaps, 209 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 5: gotta do better job of rebounding, You gotta do a 210 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 5: better job all over the floor. But come May in June, 211 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: it doesn't matter how you get him, just get him, 212 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 5: you know. So we'll take it. You know, we'll enjoy 213 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 5: this one tonight. But don't understand, we got another game 214 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 5: coming up in this tough building and we got to 215 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 5: be prepared for that. So, like I said, we're just 216 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 5: a confident group. We got eachiller's back. 217 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: Here's the league's MVP. And how the Thunder ended up losing. 218 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 6: I don't know. It happened so fast. I feel like 219 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 6: we got matched. He got down going right, pulled up 220 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 6: from MIDI and knocked down the shot. I don't know. 221 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 6: It didn't feel like anything crazy. He just he just 222 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 6: made a play. With the time winding down, we had 223 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 6: control of the game for the most part of it. 224 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 6: Now it is a forty eight minute game, and they 225 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 6: teach you that lesson more than anyone else in the 226 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 6: league the hard way. 227 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: He's right, It does go fast, and then you know, 228 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: Indiana doesn't call time out in the last possession, so 229 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: oftentimes NBA teams have I've been in that situation and 230 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: I've had the opposite thing happen right where you don't 231 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: call time out, just let him go make a play like, 232 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: oh man, should I have called the timeout or not? There? Ah, 233 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: just dying over it, but it does. It happens really fast. 234 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: He hit three, You're like, all right, it's nine. Then 235 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: you missed it, sh out and they hit three, Like okay, 236 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: it's six. That that happened fast. They eat the fat line. 237 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, okay, it's eight. Then he hit it 238 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: three and it's five. Like whoa, whoa, what what happened? 239 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: Now we're in a game. Happened so fast? So fast? 240 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: And I love what Halburton said. He's basically like, we 241 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: didn't really play well enough to win, but that matter, 242 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: which to Dan, you're my point, which is like, Indiana's 243 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: got to be sitting there thinking, imagine if we actually 244 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: played well, you know, we won a game on their 245 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: home court and we were do do for the first 246 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: twenty four minutes. 247 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's selling to pacers are without faults because 248 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 3: that is one of their faults defensively as well. They yeah, yeah, 249 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: I mean they haven't been as strong, but boy, last 250 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: night it sure came through and they needed to. The 251 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 3: nineteen first half turnovers is absurd. Was it to only 252 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: be down twelve at that point? 253 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And that's one of the reasons though that again, 254 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: you know thunderplay. Both teams play a lot of guys. 255 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: I thought it hurt both teams playing a lot of guys. 256 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: I thought of Oklahoma City would have played a little 257 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: bit more of a condensed rotation last night. They could 258 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: have maybe stepped on the throat of the Pacers in 259 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: the first half.

You're 290 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. So I saw this story. I 291 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that Jason Kidd is going to 292 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: get interviewed by the Knicks. Now what happens. Is this 293 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: from Mark Stein And as you know, Mark joins us 294 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: on the show on a weekly basis, And if you 295 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: want to read Mark's substack, go ahead and find the steinline. 296 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: But he said the New York Knicks are expected to 297 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: formally ask permission to speak with Dallas Maverick's coach, Chasing 298 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: Kidd about their coaching vacancy in the coming days. League 299 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: sources say Ian Begley, Ima Udoka, Chris Finch and Jason 300 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: Kidd are among the coaches currently under contract who the 301 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: Knicks have degrees of interest in. Remember, just because you're 302 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: speaking to a coach doesn't mean you're going to hire him. 303 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: And the one thing he doesn't have is a is 304 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: a defined relationship with Leon Rose. Of course, wasn't his agent. 305 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Goodwin was his agent when he was a player. 306 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: So but when he became the nets head coach fresh 307 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: off of being a player, his last team he played 308 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: for was the New York Knicks. And now of course 309 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: he's gone. You know, he went to several other teams, 310 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: took the Mavericks to the finals. And as I told you, 311 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you can fire Tom Thibodeau because of 312 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: his shortcomings or perceived shortcomings for a team in the 313 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: playoffs to get to the finals, something he's never done 314 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: as a head coach, and not hire a head coach 315 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 1: who hasn't been past the Eastern Conference finals. That's why 316 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: to me, jeff En Gutty makes sense. That's why to me, 317 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: Jason Kidd might even make a little sense. And I 318 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: know that Jay Wright hasn't been past them in the NBA, 319 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: but winning two championships, being the three final fours, widely 320 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: considered one of the great coaches of college basketball. Also 321 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't make it about himself, which is 322 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: one of the big things that NBA coaches can't do, 323 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: make it about themselves. I think those are the real candidates, 324 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: real candidates.

I think, Doug, it's time for 337 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 7: us to start believing in what goes on. And Doug, 338 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 7: we've talked about this on the show and you almost 339 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 7: saw the script is playing out. Indiana executes for four quarters. 340 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 7: The rest of the NBA probably three quarters, and then 341 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 7: you put the ball in the hands of your best player. 342 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 7: But they just truly believe and it's tough. And what 343 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 7: you're seeing is SGA one on one, SGA one on one. 344 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 7: Hopefully we get to steal. Hopefully we created deflection, and 345 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 7: that's going against Indiana. Pick and roll ball moment, second side, 346 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 7: pick and roll attack, drawn kick three three three, and 347 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 7: once Indiana starts hitting threes, now the game confidence offensively 348 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 7: and the scape part. Doug, I don't know how you 349 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 7: feel about this. The fact that Indy turned the ball 350 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 7: over so much in the first half, and the fact 351 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 7: that the thunder didn't win that game, you got be 352 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 7: shaken in your boots. 353 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: We just discussed this, like the Pacers have to be 354 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: sitting there going. We played poorly for two thirds of 355 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: the game, definitely half of the game played poorly and 356 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: yet still end up winning a game, and we did 357 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: so on the road. Imagine what happens when we just 358 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 1: play average in the first half. What about the What 359 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: about the Oklahoma City Thunder? How hard is it going 360 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: to be for them to convince themselves? Hey, guys, we 361 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: were up nineteen, like we had. We had a double 362 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: digit lead late in the fourth quarter. But again, that's 363 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: really hard to convince yourself when that league evaporated in 364 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: the last two minutes. 365 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 7: Yug. I think the biggest problem for Oklahoma City is 366 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 7: trying to match up with Indiana, and I think they've 367 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 7: got to be the best versions of themselves. If it's 368 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 7: Shay shooting the ball fifty times, you go big, You 369 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 7: just attack the glass and muddy the game up and 370 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 7: make it really physical. That's what it's going to have 371 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 7: to be. But you go small with Cason Wallace and 372 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 7: you try to match up with the three point shooting, 373 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 7: and your advantage, in my opinion, is chet Holmgren blocking shots, 374 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 7: and then you know looking inside the paint and you 375 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 7: know Hartenstein hitting the glass, creating second chance opportunities him 376 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 7: and pick and roll him, and you know DHL actions 377 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 7: like I think you kind of got away from what 378 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 7: you've done in Hartenstein. You can argue, you know, he'd 379 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 7: been the best Thunder member outside of Shade, you know, 380 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 7: the most reliable at least in many of these opportunities. 381 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 7: So I think you got to be the best version 382 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 7: of yourself. And I didn't like trying to match up 383 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 7: with Indy because you're not going to out Indy Indy. 384 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 7: I don't. I don't know if that makes sense. 385 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Do No, it does? It does? Yeah, I completely completely understand. 386 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: I thought, again, and maybe this is too deep into 387 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: basketball talk for other people. Here we go, Jayla Williams 388 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: too big, missus late okay, but also lou Dort shooting 389 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: three late, Caruso two wide open threes late. You mentioned 390 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: the execution again, it's not just in what you execute, 391 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: but it's the Pacers had their shooters shooting threes and 392 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: the Thunder had their non shooters. I'm talking about lou 393 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: Dort and Crusoe shooting those three threets late. How big 394 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 1: a factor is that in the overall scheme of things. 395 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 7: It's huge. And that's why I said, you know, that's 396 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 7: by designing. We're going boxes and elbows on Shay and 397 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 7: we're gonna come out with a good contest on the three, 398 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 7: and we're gonna live with those guys. Are they capable shooters? Yes, 399 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 7: but you know who I trust, Nie Smith, nim Hard 400 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 7: Siakam with those same shots. So it's gonna be my 401 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 7: offense for your offense. And can those guys shoot, Yeah, 402 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 7: of course they can. But with Indy, they just trust 403 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 7: the ball movement and they move the ball better than 404 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 7: anybody in the NBA right now. They play as a 405 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 7: team and they're not horrific defensively. So if you're in 406 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 7: the locker room, Doug, like you're saying like, don't turn 407 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 7: the basketball over, like, don't give them any light, don't 408 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 7: turn the ball over. Be strong with the catch. And 409 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 7: I tell you one thing, like since the days of 410 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 7: Durant and Westbrook being there, when I played against those 411 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 7: guys with the Clippers and whoever, Oklahoma City's a tough 412 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 7: place to play. So when you talk about having to 413 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 7: pahonas to hit that shot to go get it, and 414 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 7: Rick carl Out doesn't go time out, and Halibert it's 415 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 7: that dude. It doesn't get any more deflating. And I've 416 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 7: been calling this, but I'm shocked. They just they just 417 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 7: cut down like that against the man you talk about 418 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 7: just deflating. 419 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: Dug gotta be incredibly inflating. Doug Otlibs show here on 420 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: Fox Sports, Tralier, let's talk to some other NBA news 421 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: in your mind, who's the best fit for the Knicks. 422 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 7: I'm shocked. I think Jason Kidd because he's a former Nick, 423 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 7: He's gonna have to be on the table. I guess 424 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 7: they got permission to talk to him. You got to 425 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 7: bring in the name, dude, because that's all that is 426 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 7: all the It's the most pressured job outside of being 427 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 7: the Lakers head coach in the world. You know, you 428 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 7: got a little excuse maybe if you're coaching Lebron that 429 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 7: you can say, hey, Lebron's smart enough, he's gonna do 430 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 7: his deal. You know, there's not much I'm gonna be 431 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 7: able to fine tune. But that's a lot of pressure. 432 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 7: You got to get a veteran coach, You got to 433 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 7: get somebody you know, willing to step in and you know, 434 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 7: win now. But I'm still just blown away that they 435 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 7: got rid of TIBs. And I think, Doug, in my opinion, 436 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 7: it's unless there's something that I don't know. I think 437 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 7: you send the wrong message of basketball that you can 438 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 7: have the best season that New York has had in decades. 439 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 7: You can lead this team, you can improve, you get 440 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 7: guys to believe, and then we fire you when we 441 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 7: say somehow to your faull, somehow we need to strive 442 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 7: something different. And I can acknowledge something needs to change, 443 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 7: but I don't see that being Tom Thibodeau called me crazy. 444 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, but that that was how the 445 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: decision was made. And you just sit there scratching your 446 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: head like are you are? Are you kidding me? 447 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:20,239 Speaker 5: Uh? 448 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves, we hadn't tuks and stay lost. There's a 449 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: lot of people like, hey, you need to make Anthony 450 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: Edwards be able to score out of the post. And 451 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: I've heard lots of suggestions you didn't just play in 452 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: the NBA. You cover it with the with the Rockets 453 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: as well as for us here in Fox Sports Radio. 454 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: If you were running the Minnesota Timberwolves. What would you 455 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: do to take that next step? 456 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 7: I teach it how to play pick and roll. I 457 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 7: take a page out of Luca Dacic to Lebron's book 458 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 7: James Harden, and I teach him how to hay like, Hey, 459 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 7: that's the that that power for in the corner. That's 460 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 7: the mismatch you want. Bring him into action because they 461 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 7: can't switch. You're too good offensively and play with your bigs. 462 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 7: Learn how to play with Rudy Gobert. It's probably disgusting 463 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 7: the lack of assists that he has to Rudy Gobert. 464 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 7: Rudy Gobert is one of the better screen setters that 465 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 7: we've had in the NBA. Screen assists but it means 466 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 7: when he sets the screen, you get a good shot 467 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 7: or he ends up getting a wide open dunk. When 468 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 7: he learns how to play with Rudy, when he learns 469 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 7: how to play with his bigs, when he learns how 470 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 7: to pick out the mismatch on the floor and call 471 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 7: those guys in a pick and roll, you're gonna see 472 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards game take leaps and bounds. I do agree 473 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 7: with the posts efficiency in action. He's so good he 474 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 7: can get to a spot, pull up and shoot right 475 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 7: over you. But I think the patience who's going to 476 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 7: have to be there, And I think as he takes 477 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,479 Speaker 7: those leaps, I don't think it's necessarily spreading the floor 478 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 7: with the guy who can create of n over contested shot. 479 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 7: I believe that you play with two bigs. I think 480 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 7: you get in another big, another shot block or another 481 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 7: kind of spore inside with size to where they sure 482 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 7: up the paint, and you allow him as a volume 483 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 7: shooter to go make some missus. Just talk with McIntyre 484 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 7: on Collins Show, and I said, not playing Chet and 485 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 7: Hartenstein was the silliest thing Oklahoma City could have done 486 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,959 Speaker 7: because you got a volume sport in Shae Gilgis Alexander. 487 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 7: At least you can command the paint. Maybe you get 488 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 7: more offensive rebounding opportunities in your limp is what makes 489 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 7: you different than Indy. So I think my challenge with 490 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 7: Minnesota is to play bigger and learn how to play 491 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 7: pick and roll. But in that process, you hit the 492 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 7: heck out of the glass and you give him more shots. 493 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Ryan Hollins 494 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: is our guest Ryan's Jannis. What do you think he 495 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: plays next year? 496 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 7: I think for Giannis and I'm pretty sure they're gonna 497 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 7: look to work with him. I think he's gotta look 498 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 7: and he's gotta try to one get to a bit 499 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 7: market and then he's got to have a chance to 500 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 7: go out and win. And for Milwaukee, you know what, 501 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 7: they're going to be greedy. They're going to be like 502 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 7: man Dami and Little is going to be out next season. 503 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 7: We need all the youth, all the picks that we 504 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 7: can get ultimately at the end of the day, So 505 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 7: the largest market team that can bring that to the table, 506 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 7: I think you got to be excited. And I think 507 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 7: if there's enough chemistry there, it could be san Antonio. 508 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 7: I think we'd like that to see him and Wimby. 509 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 7: But I don't know if Giannas want to be san 510 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 7: Antonio because the one thing we've heard from him is 511 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 7: that I want to go to a large city, you know, 512 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 7: I want to have a chance to shine as the 513 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 7: other superstars in the NBA. Do you saw the news 514 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 7: about the Knicks willing to throw everything at him, And 515 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 7: I think if you're the Knicks, you kind of have 516 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 7: to because if you're getting rid of tives. That means 517 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 7: you're willing to move forward in the direction and have 518 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 7: a superstar and a guy to build around, So that 519 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 7: could be a move. I don't know if Milwaukee wants 520 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 7: to rebuild, they want to, you know, try to step 521 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 7: into another forty or fifty win season. Ultimately, at the 522 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 7: end of the day, you know, we've seen different teams 523 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 7: go different ways. If it's a Clippers, you know, in 524 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 7: a large market, they know there's a chance and to 525 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 7: pall for him to want to be there. And I 526 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 7: think Houston from a talent perspective and youth and kind 527 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 7: of win now would probably be the best option. But 528 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 7: would that be best for Houston because you may have 529 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 7: to go out and cut a team. This is this 530 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 7: The asking price for Durant is a lot lower than 531 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 7: asking and I don't speak from any type of knowledge, Doug, 532 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 7: than asking for Gianni's because you're gonna want the whole house, 533 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 7: the keys of the car, the kids. You don't want 534 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 7: everything in return for Giannis. Anthing, pupo, Doug. 535 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: Last thing, Ryan before the series, who'd you think would 536 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: win it? 537 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 7: I said, Indy, I'm going to take my ball movement 538 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 7: rus your defense because all I have to do is 539 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 7: not turn over the ball and see how you struggle offensively. 540 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 7: I think that's what we saw in Game one, and 541 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 7: I feel even stronger after Indiana sole that game, because 542 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 7: if I'm a player in that locker room, I'm dejected, dude, 543 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 7: and I'm questioning coach while we switch up the lineup, 544 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 7: what are we doing? How do we kind of recover 545 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 7: from this because it feels like we're doing the same 546 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 7: thing over and over again, and it's tough. I remember 547 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 7: the National Championship playing against Florida and they moved the ball, 548 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 7: Fory Brewers hitting threes, Joe Kim Noah's dunking on us. 549 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 7: We're doing all this stuff and our offense was so 550 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 7: stagnant we couldn't play against them. So at the end 551 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 7: of the day, I think that Indy is looking to 552 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 7: run away with this and look, man, hit all hands 553 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 7: on deck. Oklahoma City better final way with their defense 554 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 7: to win game two, but I think it's too far, 555 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 7: too gone after that first game. 556 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: Awesome stuff as always, Hey, Ryan, great stuff, Let's talk 557 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: as a series rolls on.

So yeah, SGA is a better player, 587 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: but I mean, the dude just keeps making these shots. 588 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: He just beat the New York Knicks actually sent to 589 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: overtime time, then they beat the and then he just 590 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: did it again last night, like Halliburton, Halliburton. 591 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: All right, Halliburton's off the board, SGA. Okay, Bursch is 592 00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: getting SGA. I'll take Pascal Siakam Sam. 593 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 8: I'll take DIBs on Isaiah Hartenstein. Oh only because I 594 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 8: like to say Hartenstein. I can't believe it'd be less left. 595 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 8: Oh you did take SGA. That's right, Okay. 596 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 4: Jillen Williams is still on the board. I'm getting to 597 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 4: know him the. 598 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 3: Hard aaron Ne Smith available, Hartenstein, Pere No one took 599 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 3: chet Ah chit, but there is I'll tell you what 600 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 3: There is a contingency that calls him Hartenstein, Yes, and 601 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 3: it's not It's not correct. 602 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 4: It's got to be. 603 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 3: The Steine Hottenstein. Your boy Iron Eagle was always crisp 604 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 3: with that one, Doug. He would always say hartensteinstin this 605 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 3: on the heels of Aaron Rodgers being photoshopped in the 606 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: Steeler uniforms. 607 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 4: Yesterday. 608 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 3: I made a post about this, but it was more 609 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 3: about him wearing Terry Bradshaw's number twelve than it was 610 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 3: him actually being a Pittsburgh Steeler. But it did look 611 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 3: odd Aaron Rodgers in a new uniform. But it's not 612 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 3: the first time that a quarterback changed teams that we 613 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: weren't accustomed to. So I want to know quarterbacks who 614 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: looked weird in a new team's uniform. 615 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 7: Go. 616 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 4: I got dims on Matt Ryan with the Indianapolis Colts. 617 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 3: That's a good one because he wore red and black 618 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 3: with the Falcons, completely different color scheme. It just looked 619 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 3: weird when he was with the Colts. So I'm taking 620 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 3: Matt Ryan in Indianapolis. 621 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: Brett Farv. I got dims on Brett farr. M Brett 622 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: Farv had the longest consecutive start streak, right, I mean 623 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: he was the Green Bay Packers and all of a 624 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: sudden he's in the Jets uniform. Then he's in a 625 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: Vikings uniform, and they beat the Packers first time and 626 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: played him like that whole thing. 627 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 3: The Vikings one was the twist for me, because again 628 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 3: of the color scheme, Like the green of the Jets 629 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 3: was like, okay, still, it's a similar green to Green Bays, right, 630 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 3: the one that they used at the time. But all right, 631 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 3: Farv is off the board, so was Matt Ryan. 632 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 8: I will say that Rogers going from Green Bay Packer 633 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 8: green to Jets green, it looked like almost like a 634 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 8: knockoff jersey he was wearing, So that did look a 635 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 8: little strange. But I will take DIBs on Russell Wilson 636 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 8: in a Denver Broncos jersey. Again because of the color 637 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 8: scheme change. It was just a little bit hard on 638 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 8: the eyes to start a little foreign, but I got 639 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 8: used to it. Uh, Broncos country, Let's ride, And now he's. 640 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: In the blue country. Let's ride, Broncos country, Steelers country, 641 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: Let's ride, Giants country. 642 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 4: People forget that. 643 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson tried to do a Steelers line and it 644 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 3: magically disappeared. It was like like something like something about seven, 645 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 3: like let's go for seven and the Steelers I think 646 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 3: put the gbage on it early because we never heard 647 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,720 Speaker 3: from it again. 648 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 4: Go ahead and bury that. 649 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,800 Speaker 1: Can I di DIBs on another quarterback? 650 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 4: Unless uh? 651 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 9: Well Tom Brady Okay, yeah, okay, him and a Bucks 652 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 9: uniform always looked weird. I get that he won a 653 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 9: super Bowl, but it never really felt right. 654 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 3: All Right, we've got the French Open going on right now. 655 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,720 Speaker 3: Favorite tennis player male or female of all time?
