1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: What is up? Straight Firefam, it's your boy, Jason McIntyre.

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Straight Fire for Wednesday, April twenty sixth We are goodness, gracious,

5
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: what twenty twenty eight, thirty hours away from the draft?

6
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: Thirty two? I don't know the exact number. NFL Draft

7
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: on the Horizon. Great stuff yesterday from Lancer Line. Tomorrow,

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 3: on Draft Day, we will have a special guest. He's

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: been on the pod before, He's been in plenty of

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: war rooms. He can be ornery. I like him. I

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 3: don't know if he likes me, but you guys will

12
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: enjoy that draft chatter tomorrow. My goodness, this week is

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: just off the hook, Draft, NBA Playoffs, Aaron Rodgers to

14
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: my Jets. I'm still buzzing off the excite me. People

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: are real salty that I went on Cowherd Show Tuesday

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: and I said the Jets are a ten or eleven

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: win team and Aaron Rodgers makes a difference. I did

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: this lengthy write up Fox sports dot com. You know,

19
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: I write for them. They came to me, They're like, hey,

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: what do you think gambling anything on the Jets in

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl? And listen. Obviously, I'm a Jets fan,

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: so some of that is colored. I still like to

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: think I'm a realist and I'm not looking through the

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: green and white glasses when I look at the jets

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: chances of making the Super Bowl. As a realist, I

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 3: just know they were able to cobble together seven wins, yes,

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: five against backup quarterbacks. And those seven wins were on

28
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: the back of Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler and Joe

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: Flacco and Mike White. Folks, Aaron Rodgers is going to

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: level this team up.

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: Now.

32
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: The question is is he going to be motivated to

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: dominate and rebound off pretty much his worst year in

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: a while. Like Aaron Rodgers had a bad season last

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: year with the Packers. You want to see bad Aeron

36
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: rod just go look at the Lions two games when

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: he basically pooped his pants in both of them. Uninspiring

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: stuff from Rogers. But why would he be motivated? Well,

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: the Packers clearly wanted to move on from him. Remember

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: Brett Farv When the Packers wanted to move on from him,

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: He looked good with the Jets, was an MVP candidate

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: for the first half of the season cratered, but then

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: still went to Minnesota and went to the NFC title game.

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, when he leaves Belichick motivated his Hell wins

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Matt Stafford motivated his Hell when he

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: goes to the Rams, like it can be done. It's

47
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: just tough to get into the mind of Aaron Rodgers.

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: It's just it's super difficult, Like the guy's kind of wacky.

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: If he's locked in and they have weapons, which they do,

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: and they're healthy, there's something there. And I'll just put

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: this out there. Robert Salaz coaching for his job. Essentially,

52
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: this team will make the playoffs or they will completely flop.

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: Rogers will retire early. He probably will if they're like

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: if they're a four win team heading into November, they're

55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: gonna sit Rogers. He's not gonna play the sixty five

56
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: percent of the snaps or whatever, and they're gonna just

57
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: save that first round pick and then they'll have to

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: give the second to the Packers. So I'm fired up

59
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: about Rogers. This is exciting. We've seen quarterbacks in recent

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: years move on and succeed. We've also seen Russell Wilson

61
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: struggle and Nathaniel Hackett is connected with Rogers and the Jets.

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: But let's get to the NBA folks. It's a little

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: insane how wacky these playoffs have been. So let me

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: just set the stage for you. The Boston Celtics have

65
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 3: been the most impressive team through the first four games

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: of any series. Right they are leading by I think twelve,

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: maybe eleven, thirteen somewhere in there in the fourth court.

68
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: I have to go pick up my son from soccer practice,

69
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: so I'm like, could I watch it on my phone

70
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: in the car? Do I want to, like listen to

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: some music. I don't decide to turn on the game

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: because I'm watching it at home, and I'm like, you know,

73
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: Hawks can't get stops. This defense is a joke. You know,

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: this is just a bad matchup for them. Dejhnta Murray's

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: not here. Who is their second best player? Like, come on,

76
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: there's their back court of Trey Young and Bogdanovich can't

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: stop anybody. So the Celtics have this. I come back

78
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 3: and I don't look at social media while I go

79
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: to pick up my son. I come back at dinner's

80
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: on the table. I'm like, let me just check the

81
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: score and I look and it's like a tai game.

82
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, what on Earth? And Jason Tatum gets one

83
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: of the most ridiculous technical foul calls I've seen. I

84
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: mentioned my men's league. We got a BS tech. I

85
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: put the Our big guy got a technical for he

86
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: got fouled on an end one and they didn't call

87
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: the foul. You can see in the video the guy

88
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: slaps his wrist. So our big guy running back up

89
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: the court, not like in the referee's face or anything,

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: just slaps his own wrist, doesn't say anything, slaps his

91
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: own wrist and gets a technical. I put the video

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: on the IG stories. So Tuesday night, Jason Tatum is,

93
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: you know, defending Al Horfer's defending Tray Young. Jason Tatum's

94
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: behind him, and Trey Young kind of like gets fouled

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: and puts up a shot anyway, and Tatum, instead of

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: catching the ball just kind of slaps it well after

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: the whistle and they.

98
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Gave him a technical foul.

99
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: There's like three minutes left in a playoff game and

100
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: he got a technical foul for that. Just absurd, Like,

101
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: what are we doing here? Nobody's here to see the referees.

102
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: It was criminal. Now, Tatum did not have a great game,

103
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: eight of twenty one, one of ten from three, finished

104
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: with nineteen. Jalen Brown went off at thirty five. But

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: the bottom line is the Hawks fought back outscore Boston

106
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: thirty seven to twenty five in the fourth quarter, and

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 3: it was the Trey Young show. Now, I know some

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: people are gonna probably say, wow, wait a minute, no

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 3: jo John to Murray. Trey Young got his Nojojhanta Murray.

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: John Collins went for twenty two. He got eighteen shots.

111
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 3: This team looked kind of good. Trey Young thirty three shots,

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 3: thirty eight points, thirteen assists, including a twenty nine foot

113
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: three pointer. Now, I said Jalen Brown had a good game.

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: I don't know what Jalen Brown is thinking there. Defensively,

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: He's like backpedaling and basically concedes a three to Trey

116
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Young when that's what Trey Young does. He hits bombs.

117
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: Unbelievably bad decision there. The Hawks steal the win. I'm

118
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: not gonna to make anything big of it other than

119
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: it's the Celtics have to be a little disappointed they

120
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: couldn't close this out. I mean, we're looking at Milwaukee,

121
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: who was supposed to be the biggest test for them,

122
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: and now Milwaukee's down three one. They're gonna need seven games.

123
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: So there is an opportunity here for Boston to get

124
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: a ton of rest. Philadelphia is already in the clubhouse.

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 3: You know, to borrow a golf analogy, Philadelphia's in the clubhouse.

126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 3: Anything this goes, the longer this goes, the healthier Joel

127
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: Embiide will get. So this is just a devastating loss

128
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: for the Celtics. It's at home. You got to go

129
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: to Atlanta. What do they call it the highlight Factory.

130
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: I listen again, people want to bury the Hawks and

131
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: Trey Young and Quinn Snyder. If you want to be positive,

132
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: and I you know me, I am mister positive, Jason McIntyre,

133
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: mister positive. My team got Aaron Rodgers. Of course I'm positive.

134
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: If you want to be positive about it, just consider this. Guys,

135
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 3: you're going home. You got nothing to lose. If you're Atlanta,

136
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: you get hot, maybe you hit another nineteen three pointers

137
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, all of a sudden, you

138
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: got a game seven on your hands, and you got

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: Trey Young.

140
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: Who can be a major problem.

141
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: So this is a crushing loss for the Celtics Hawks

142
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: get the dub. I know everybody wants to trade Tree Young.

143
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: I'm just saying thirty eight and thirteen in the Garden,

144
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: including the game winner against Brown Tatum, and now Marcus

145
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: Smart had a brutal game down the stretch, not his

146
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: best effort between the fouls, the turnovers, like a team

147
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: high minus twelve Boston. Not soul searching here. Not the

148
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: end of the world, but certainly not the way you

149
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: want to go into that. All right, let's get into

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: the other two games.

00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: nobody else is gonna lose, Right, the favorites, the heavy favors,

157
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: should pull away and dominate. And that's not the case.

158
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: The Suns win, don't cover a wacky game against the

159
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: fighting Clippers, and then the Nuggets win, don't cover against

160
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: the feisty Anthony Edwards. And we've got our second round matchup.

161
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: We've got the Denver Nuggets against the Phoenix Suns led

162
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: by Devin Booker. Can we say that now Devin Booker,

163
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: I think has taken the mantle from Darren Fox, is

164
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: the best player in the playoffs. It's only five games,

165
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: but d book is averaging thirty seven points per game

166
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: after dropping forty seven in Game five. He's now shooting

167
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: sixty percent from the field. That's like a shock kind

168
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 3: of number, sixty percent for a shooting guard, forty six

169
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: percent from three. Like remember when fifty forty ninety was

170
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: Steph Curry and everybody's like, oh my gosh. I know

171
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: it's a five game sample size, but Devin Booker sixty

172
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: forty six eighty five percent from the line. I really

173
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: do think his worst game was when they lost Game

174
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: one and Russell Westbrook kind of outplayed him down the stretch.

175
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 3: And since then, Booker went off thirty eight forty five

176
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: thirty forty seven. That being said, I'm not so sure

177
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: the Sons are a lock to beat this Nuggets team.

178
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: I think my pick initially before the playoffs was Nuggets.

179
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 3: I felt even better when the Suns lost Game one

180
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: and folks explain, riddle me this, You're going home for

181
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: a close out game. No, Kawhi Leonard no, Paul George,

182
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: I believe they were a double digit favorite at home.

183
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: The Phoenix Suns come out and allow the Clippers to

184
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: drop seventy points on them in the first half. Yeah,

185
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: twelve and a half point favorites. They let the paper clips.

186
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: Led by Russell Westbrook. I don't even know I can

187
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: say led by Russell Westbrook since he was three for eighteen.

188
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: And then you look at the box score and you're like,

189
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: wait a minute, Wait a minute. I know Plumbly played okay,

190
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: but did he really have twenty and ten? So you're

191
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: telling me two essentially replacement level big men. Zubas. I

192
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 3: butchered his name because I always do. Rob g loves

193
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: Zuba's former laker. Sixteen and ten for Zubas in tw

194
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 3: twenty four minutes, and then Plumbley comes in twenty and

195
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 3: ten and twenty four minutes. What is Jokic gonna do

196
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 3: against the Phoenix Suns? And I know, people, I listen,

197
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: I just gased up Booker. I said he's the best

198
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: player in the playoffs so far, which is crazy because

199
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: he's he definitely looks better than Kevin Durant. But you

200
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: can't take too much into the Sun's victory in the series. Folks,

201
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 3: we're talking about a Clippers team missing their two best players.

202
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: We'll get to them in a minute. The paper clips

203
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: are done, and maybe even worse than done given the

204
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard Paul George fiasco. But I think Denver, I

205
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: wrote even wrote this for Fox Sports guys. I think

206
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: Denver matches up really well with this Phoenix team in

207
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: the offseason. They add KCP, that shooting guard who is

208
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: a very good defender. Who did they used to have

209
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 3: in that spot? It was a Gary Harris a few

210
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: years ago, and they tinkered with other dudes like Jamal

211
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: Murray's good, but you can't have him dropping thirty five

212
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: and then playing heavy defense. Their guy defensively is KCP,

213
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: and he had his hands full with Anthony Edwards. But

214
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: it's not like Anthony Edwards shot the all particularly well

215
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: in the series KCP, and he's younger than Booker. But

216
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 3: I think KCP against Booker. Listen, it's not gonna shut

217
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: down Devin Booker. But he ain't dropping thirty seven a game.

218
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that that's not happening on kcp's watch.

219
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: He's a good defender. And then Aaron Gordon doesn't need

220
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: to do much offensively. He's a tough long defender. He's big,

221
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: big body. He's not gonna let Kad have whatever he wants.

222
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you. I know people don't want to

223
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: believe Denver Minnesota's kind of fraudulent, but those two guys

224
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: should be able to control, not stop, but like control

225
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: slash contain the d Book Kevin Durant tandem. If you

226
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: said over under sixty points for Booker and Durant in

227
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: Game one, I would take the under. I think the

228
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: games at altitude, Denver's gonna play defense. Phoenix is coming

229
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: off a series against the Clippers where they just don't

230
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: even try defensively. The Clippers gave up after scoring hay

231
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: in the first half. They give up fifty in the

232
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: third quarter. It's like they're not even contesting shit. It's

233
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: like embarrassing. Here is one interesting thing to monitor. We

234
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 3: know they have Kevin Durant, we know they have Devin

235
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 3: Booker and DeAndre Ayton. They're gonna force feed him early

236
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: to keep the big guy happy. I just want you

237
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: to keep an eye on this situation. Tory Craig, like

238
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: the other guy who was consistently left opened down the stretch,

239
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: and they're like, okay, well, Tory Craig gonna beat us.

240
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna beat us. We'll go down swinging with Tory

241
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: Craig taking us out. We're not gonna let Katie and

242
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: Booker beat us. So Tory Craig had a pretty good

243
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 3: start to the series. If you guys remember twenty two

244
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: points in game one, seventeen in game two, well Water

245
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 3: finds its level and Tory Craig started to regress fifteen

246
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: in game three. In the last two games, zero for

247
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: two on threes, seventeen minutes in game five, zero points. Now,

248
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: maybe they're tinkering with other guys. I mean, Josha Kogie,

249
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: he played thirty three minutes. I'm just telling you right now,

250
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to figure this out. And this is Denver.

251
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: There's a much better team than the paper Clips. So

252
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 3: if the Tory Craig's having an off game, is it

253
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: gonna be Landry shammittt I don't know, rob Gi. I'm

254
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 3: just not buying the Sun's team. Obviously, Booker's good, in

255
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: Kti's good, But I am gonna ride with the Denver Nuggets.

256
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: Denver in's six or seven. But I like the Nuggets

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: in this series.

258
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 4: I'm kind of with you. And even if last night

259
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: wasn't a good indicator of what the Denver Nuggets can

260
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: be because they really struggled against Minnesota, even though they

261
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 4: closed it out there at the end. But the reason

262
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: being is that you saw everything that you love and

263
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: everything that you hate about the Phoenix Suns and that

264
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 4: one against the Clippers, that fifty point third quarter explosion

265
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 4: with Devin Booker going bananas yet again in this series.

266
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 4: I know, I'm glad you called him the best player

267
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. I think that's one hundred percent accurate.

268
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 4: Like they looked scary, like if he's if he's turning

269
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant to the number two guy, Like that's the

270
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 4: most lethal offense in the NBA. Like Kevin Durant is

271
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: is made Steph Curry the other guy in Golden State

272
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: at the height of Steph Curry's powers, right, Like that's

273
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: all good, Kevin Durant.

274
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: I don't want to get sidetracked.

275
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 4: But that's where Curry put.

276
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: Up some number. By the way, game one Sunday in Denver,

277
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: we don't have a game time yet. Oh no, wait,

278
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: does it Saturday? No, it looks like, oh yeah, it

279
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: looks like it's Saturday. Actually okay, sorry.

280
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: Well anyways, like like Devin Booker's in an absolute zone

281
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: right now. And then in that fourth quarter, we saw

282
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: the Suns that we've seen throughout this series where it's

283
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: super inconsistent. They forget like who's on their roster, the

284
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: wrong guy, they're taking the wrong shots, and they fumble

285
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: away a twenty point lead where it's nip and tuck

286
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: there at the end and we're not for Russell Westbrook

287
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 4: smoked layup followed by Russell Westbrook just running back on

288
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: defense and standing in the middle of nowhere, and Devin

289
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: Booker pulls up and drains it in his eye, Like

290
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: this could have easily shifted right back to Los Angeles

291
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: for Game six. So the peaks and valleys with the

292
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 4: Phoenix Suns is really really hard to you know, get

293
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: excited about. And again their big players had to play

294
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: mid forty high forty plus minutes, like that is not

295
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: sustainable moving forward in the postseason.

296
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of the battle of teams with no

297
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: bench because Denver doesn't have a bunch of a bench either.

298
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 3: If foul trouble could be an issue, although I don't know.

299
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: I haven't noticed fouls as being like a thing this playoffs.

300
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: Has it been.

301
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 4: Not necessarily? I mean, the one thing that's been a

302
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: trend is that some series they're letting everything go, and

303
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: other series, like in Phoenix and the Clippers, I thought

304
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: that there was a lot of whistles being called. I mean,

305
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: there's a lot of free throws that were shot last night.

306
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 4: I think the teams combined for like seventy free throws,

307
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: so it was something ridiculous.

308
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: Denver thirty two of thirty six from the line yeah

309
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: go Bear and Towns fouled out. I don't know, should

310
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: we do a post mortemental in minnesotaor does nobody care?

311
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. Carl Anthony Towns maybe his last game

312
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: with Minnesota twenty six and eleven. It's clearly Anthony Edwards's team.

313
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: I just don't know how quickly they can reboot. Towns

314
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: will have a market. I made the case that he

315
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: could be a great, great number three in the role

316
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: of a Chris Bosh or Kevin Love. Hey man, we

317
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: need you to rebound, We need you to go stand

318
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 3: in the corner and Barry threes now, kat is he

319
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: gonna want to deal with that kind of reduced role.

320
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I think in his career he

321
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: as zero playoff series wins, which is pretty much like

322
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: Kevin Love had none. I think Bosh might have got

323
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 3: to the second round once or twice in Toronto. But

324
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: like Carl Anthony Town's is twenty seven, he's gonna be

325
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: twenty eight November. You know, at some point he's gonna

326
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: have to realize, you know what, I'm okay being, you know,

327
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: a third guy. Now I'm looking at his history. Yeah

328
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: he didn't. You only played twenty nine games this year? Actually, geez,

329
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: three out of the last four years he's played fifty

330
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: games or less. After being kind of an iron man

331
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: early in his career, this guy put up twenty four.

332
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: What he's had six seasons of eighteen and ten, twenty

333
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: five and ten. The guy puts up numbers. Are you

334
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: are you feeling this Bosh or Kevin Love comparison?

335
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

336
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 4: I think it totally makes sense. The problem is, though,

337
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: if I'm in Minnesota, I don't know how I could

338
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 4: justify making arguably the worst trade in NBA history with

339
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert and then feeling like the only way to

340
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 4: fix that is to trade your second best player, right, Like,

341
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 4: I just don't know how that jives with the fan base,

342
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: with the front office, the new ownership.

343
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting.

344
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 4: I think they're more likely to just to even retrade

345
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 4: Go Bear and take a loss than they are to know, well,

346
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 4: nobody's gonna want yeah, or at least Towns has a mark. Yeah,

347
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 4: but the problem is, like that's cutting. Was it robbing

348
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: Peter to pay Paul? That the argument? Right?

349
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: Like, I think that is this.

350
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: I just don't know how you can say, like, yeah,

351
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: we totally screwed up this Go Bear thing. Let's trade

352
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 4: Towns and get two more first back.

353
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 3: Like I think they're well, I mean, this isn't an

354
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: Apple sapples, But you know, Minnesota is getting old, and

355
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: you know, Chris Middleton, we don't know what his future

356
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: is in Milwaukee. Hell, they played tonight in a tonight

357
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: It's a huge friggin NBA night. Oh my gosh. I

358
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: think the Bucks will win. But that being said, like

359
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: what if the Bucks called up Minnesota and said, you know,

360
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: you need a veteran in that locker room, somebody who's

361
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: wont something. We'll give you Middleton and a couple of picks,

362
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: send Towns our Way or or some kind of package

363
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 3: where they get somebody who's not gonna hog and dominate

364
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 3: the ball and Anthony Edwards can do that, somebody who's

365
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: going to create spacing in Middleton, and you know, you

366
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: tossed in a couple of picks or whatever, maybe another

367
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 3: role player to make it equal, and then you and

368
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: then Carl Anthony Towns becomes the third guy to Jannis

369
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 3: and Drew Holliday. And I'm just spitballing. But like if

370
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: the Celtics, you know, I can't imagine if they collapse

371
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: against the Hawks, Like I'd be even more surprised if

372
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: they lost, Well, not more surprised, but I'd be stunned

373
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 3: if they lost to the Sixers. But like, I don't know, Celtics.

374
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: Is there an argument where they part with Jalen Brown

375
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 3: and bring on Towns. I don't know. It's just Towns

376
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 3: feels to me a lot like a Kevin Love Chris

377
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: Bosh final piece, who's the third guy? Actually Boston, he

378
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: would be the second guy, so that well, I am

379
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 3: Marcus smart natter too. I don't know, Miami heat. Could

380
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 3: they toughen up Charantine Towns in that heat culture. I

381
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 3: just I wonder if Towns is kind of on his

382
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: way out in Minnesota. It's like, you know what, we

383
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: it just didn't work two years in a row, get

384
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, can't advance. Something's got to change, you

385
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: feel me?

386
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

387
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: I mean, like I said, everything you're saying makes sense,

388
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: especially you know the town's portion where I think we've

389
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: seen that he is not the franchise player that Minnesota

390
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 4: hoped he would be. Like I said, I just think

391
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: the problem is that because they went all in on

392
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: this Gobeart deal, I cannot see them trying to undo

393
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 4: it by trading away a guy who's a better player

394
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 4: than go Bear. Right, So I think that they'd be

395
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: more likely to take ten cents on the dollar for

396
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 4: Gobar than the trade Towns. That's just my opinion.

397
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: Mike Conley still has one year left. Next year twenty

398
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: four mil. They'll lose Austin Rivers, will lose Bryn Forbes, Noel. Oh,

399
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna lose nas Reed. I forgot they had nas

400
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: Reed and Jaden McDaniels. Huh. Maybe they just say, you

401
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: know what, we were down two of our guy. Well,

402
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 3: I don't know how they keep Naz Reid, but that

403
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: may be worth something. That Jaden McDaniels is a good wing.

404
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: He could have been that guy you put on Jamal

405
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 3: Murray or at Michael Porter Junior. At any rate, let's

406
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: go to a team people care more about. The Clippers

407
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: are now eliminated, and they've got some really, really tough questions.

408
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook listen up and down series rob ends three

409
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: of eighteen starts three basically booke ended by three of

410
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: eighteen performances from Russ. You know, I feel like I

411
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 3: should take an l on. I don't even think Russell Wilson.

412
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook's in the league next year. Remember when I

413
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 3: was saying that with the Lakers, because there was value

414
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: when Kawhi and Paul George were out. Russ was able

415
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: to do some things, had some stats and make them interesting.

416
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: Now they didn't do anything. They won one game in

417
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 3: the series. They're done. I don't think Russell Westbrook's a

418
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: really tough one.

419
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: Man.

420
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: Do you bring him back? Because you know you could say, fine,

421
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: you know what, Paul and Kawhi will be healthy next year.

422
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 3: Try that you still got Eric Gordon, Norman Powell's back.

423
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: I like Norman Powell. You got the Morris twin coming down.

424
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got a lot of guys back. Do

425
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: you just run it back again? Have you seen this payroll?

426
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 3: My gosh, Terrence Man ten million dollars next year, Zubac

427
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 3: ten mil, Batoom eleven, Covington eleven six, Morris seventeen to one.

428
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, they're gonna have the you know, I

429
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: read this, Rob If they get eliminated in the first round,

430
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: the Warriors and the Clippers payroll taxes are gonna be

431
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: like nine figure checks that they're gonna have to write

432
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: to me, Like, I mean, I think it was just

433
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: John Hollinger at the Athletic something like that. Like the

434
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: numbers are just insane. They're gonna have to just pay

435
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: so much for losing in the first round. I don't

436
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 3: see an easy path away from Paul and Kawhi, especially

437
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 3: given the arena that they're building. But I would love

438
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 3: to hear something super creative where I mean, yeah, you

439
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 3: can't get Victor woman Yama. I don't know, I don't know,

440
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: would you would you even make a play for one

441
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: of those top picks in this draft to get a

442
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: young guy and just say, you know what, we're starting over.

443
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, would you do you want to wait

444
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: out the Warriors dynasty? I mean, hell they could who's

445
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 3: they could be out of the playoffs this weekend? Lebron

446
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: and ad probably you know that they win the series.

447
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna happen, Like maybe the Clippers just say, you

448
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: know what, we're done with these these guys who keep

449
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 3: getting hurt. We're gonna punt. We'll start over and in

450
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: a couple of years we'll have something ready for action.

451
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: But we're not winning with these guys as we're currently constituted.

452
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: Let's just let's just think about the future and bill

453
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: toward that. Is that even an option? Probably not for

454
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 3: a billionaire.

455
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, were it not for the new arena, then

456
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: that that could be an option. But I don't think

457
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: there's any way you can open up a new was

458
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 4: it three billion dollars stadium with a rebuilding project. I

459
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 4: just don't think you can. I think they go the

460
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: other way. I think they go all in, even more

461
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: so than they have been the last couple of years,

462
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 4: because if you look at their salary cap table, they

463
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: got sixty million dollars in expiring contracts, They have their picks.

464
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 4: I believe they have a first round this year from Milwaukee,

465
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 4: and I think they can trade twenty seven and twenty

466
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 4: nine rounder.

467
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, who are they expiring is Gordon.

468
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 4: Gordon which is a non guarante. They have the team,

469
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: which is a non guaranteed deal, so they can definitely

470
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: get off of that if they wanted to. Marcus Morris,

471
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 4: Robert Comington, Nick Batoum combined make forty million next season.

472
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 3: So do you think someone might take that?

473
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: It's possible. Like I said, I think that they are

474
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: much more likely to either package some of those all

475
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 4: of those and try to either go big game hunting

476
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 4: and go after you know, a Bradley Beal type player Kyrie. Well,

477
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 4: Kyrie is a free agent, so they can't you know

478
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 4: what I mean, so sign and trade? Yeah, but I

479
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 4: think I think that they get hard capped, so I

480
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: don't think they can do a sign and trade.

481
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: Oh and they probably wouldn't do that any.

482
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 4: Right, But like, like, again, I'm not saying these are

483
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 4: actual possibilities, but just it's not crazy to say, Hey,

484
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: Klay Thompson wants to get extended in Golden State, and

485
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 4: then they're not going to give it to him, so

486
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 4: he's a he can get moved. The Bulls have reportedly,

487
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 4: depending who you listen to, have been looking to get

488
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 4: off the Zactly deal ever since they signed the contract.

489
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 3: Oh Lakers.

490
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, like, there's guys who you could

491
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 4: conceivably get if you have enough money to match and

492
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: you're willing to give up your picks. I think more

493
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 4: than likely, though, they're gonna take those draft picks. They're

494
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 4: going to take that expiring money. They're going to try

495
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: to reconfigure the roster to get younger, to get more athletic,

496
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: to withstand the inevitable injuries to Paul George and Kawhi.

497
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: Leonard inevitable injuries.

498
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 4: So I think they're gonna go all in for at

499
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: least one more big swing in twenty twenty four, and

500
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 4: then from there we'll see what happens.

505
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: Let's spin it forward to tonight's games. ROB interesting scenario

506
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 3: if let's say the Lakers close out the Grizzlies in

507
00:25:54,560 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: Game five in Memphis? Would you rather face the Kings?

508
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: Are the Warriors? Kings? Let's see here some bonus A

509
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: d who guards Lebron Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray can't put

510
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: a rookie on him? Barnes, you got Davion Mitchell. I

511
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: don't know who guards Fox. It's gonna be a heavy

512
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: shrewder series.

513
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: Huh, Jared Vanderbilt, Well, I mean, look, in all fairness,

514
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 4: nobody guards Fox like we're we're seeing that with Adda Wiggins.

515
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 3: Like nobody Malik Monk Revenge series former La Davion Mitchell

516
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: on Austin Reeves, I listen, I don't know Kings are fun.

517
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: This the Fox in finger injury is just crushing. He

518
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: apparently is gonna try to give it a go tonight.

519
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: He went from doubtful to likely to play. I can't

520
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: imagine him not playing, but he's gonna be playing with

521
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: this clunky thing on his finger. And as such, the

522
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: Warriors are one and a half point favorite on the road,

523
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: where they have lost two games outright, whereas had an

524
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: extra day in between for the old guys to heal up.

525
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: Bucks are huge favorites, Memphis four point favorites against the Lakers,

526
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 3: the Cavaliers five and a half point favorites, and an

527
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: elimination game for the Knicks. Interesting. I gotta stay away

528
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: from Warriors Kings. And I did have somebody this week

529
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 3: say dude, what's up with no best bets? And I'm

530
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: being honest, guys, this is one hundred percent of real talk.

531
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these games in the lines and I'm like,

532
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: I don't have a great feel because so much crazy

533
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: shit's been happening with the injuries like Bucks heat. I mean,

534
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: if you had found anybody taking the heat against the

535
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: Bucks in Game four when Yannis is back, like you know,

536
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: I would love to have heard that. I don't know

537
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 3: any And then Tuesday, everybody liked the favorites, right, you

538
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 3: got the big favorites, you got de Jenta, Murrie out.

539
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 3: It's like, come on, elimination game, paper clips, you know,

540
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: all three dogs covered. I don't know, this is tough.

541
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: The Warriors Kings is the marquee game. I do love

542
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 3: the early four thirty tip out here on the West Coast, Lakers, Grizzlies,

543
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: and the NBA wisely only has one game Thursday, and

544
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, NBA Draft obviously Thursday, Rob,

545
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: there would have been no games if the Celtics had

546
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: closed out the Hawks. So Wednesday they're heavy with four games,

547
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: Thursday just one. But like Jason, I got a hundred bucks,

548
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 3: I want to bet it on something. I'll let you

549
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: go first. Rob.

550
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 4: If you're getting texts like that, that dude the straight

551
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 4: up degenerate, and then he should not be gambling.

552
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: Well that's not a text, that's but in.

553
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: Whatever he should not. Look whoever emailed your or texted

554
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: you dmdu whatever that said, hey, what's up with the

555
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 4: best bets? And you're saying I'm not going to give

556
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 4: any ou if I don't feel good about it. That

557
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 4: is what you were supposed to do. If you're one

558
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 4: of those guys who's giving out gambling advice on games

559
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 4: that you don't actually feel good about, then you're a crook.

560
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: So I'm glad that we may established that j Mack

561
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: is not that kind of a guy.

562
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, If I don't have a feel

563
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: I'm not just flushing money. I mean. But as like

564
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament is a little different, Like you can have

565
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: a vibe one way or the other. It's an elimination

566
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: one game deal. There's numbers you can dig into. NBA

567
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 3: is crazy. I mean there's guys missing every like John Morant.

568
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: Did you see how many times he fell in his

569
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: hand the other night? Yeah, and he's like in pain,

570
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: shaking it. I don't know how much is that, Like,

571
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: is he one hundred percent? I mean, I know he

572
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: scored twenty two in a roll in the fourth, but

573
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: he didn't shoot it well in game fourteen four.

574
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: Well, looking at to tonight's games, the one game that

575
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 4: I've as much as it pays me to say, the

576
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 4: one game that I'm confident in is Grizzlies minus four.

577
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 4: You think Memphis will, I think Memphis rolls them. I

578
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: don't want it as tired, but that's what I think

579
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 4: is going to happen.

580
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: My read would have been the Bucks come out very angry,

581
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler has to be gassed fifty six friggin points.

582
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: I would say Bucks smash the heat and everybody's like, oh,

583
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: this is not close to over. I just I can't

584
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: wait for Warriors Kings. Rob Listen, I'm torn here because

585
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 3: you know I root for Curry. My favorite player. But

586
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: I like this King's team, like if they advanced, I'm

587
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 3: watching their games, even if it's not against the Warriors,

588
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: even if it's not Lakers, like King's Grizz, I'm all

589
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: in on the Kings. Love me some dearon Fox Davion Mitchell,

590
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: Rob you're athletic, you played football. You just watched Davion Mitchell.

591
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: And it's funny. I know, I'm referencing the men's league again,

592
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: even though the game was like three days ago. So

593
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: I came out and I'm guarding a point guard who

594
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: you know, played professionally in like Taiwan or something low level,

595
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: not like the top league. And so I told myself,

596
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: you see what Davian on Mitchell's doing, I'm gonna do

597
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 3: that like arms around, not restricting because you can't touch.

598
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: And I came out on the very first bald and

599
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 3: eye and he couldn't get the ball and he was pissed.

600
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: And then another guy goes to the foul line and

601
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: he walks right over to the ref and he's like,

602
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: are you seeing what he's doing? So I see this

603
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: during the first three throw. After the first three throw,

604
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 3: I go right over to the ref. I say you

605
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: see how Davi on Mitchell's garden curic. That's what I'm doing.

606
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm not restricting. I'm just in his airspace. He's not

607
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let him get the ball. And the

608
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: guy Mark is his name, you know, he's a friendly guy.

609
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: And he just starts laughing, and I'm like, I mean, listen,

610
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: that's if you get the ball, We're in trouble, and

611
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 3: Rob this is gonna probably be the lusorioust thing I've

612
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: I've ever done. So I watched the video because the

613
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: game's on YouTube, and I jotted down all the stats.

614
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding. I charted shooting. The guy who

615
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 3: I guarded ended up one of eight. He made one

616
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: layup and was not against me. He made one basket

617
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: in the game. Now a ten minute, a ton of

618
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: free throws, not on my fouls. And their best player

619
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 3: who gave us forty seven he was one of four

620
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: in the second half, three of six, and the Furs

621
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: so four of ten. He won forty seven points to that.

622
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 3: Now they did make fifteen more free throws. I'm pissed

623
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 3: about it. And now I've admitted that I'm a massive

624
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: loser who charged Men's League stats off a YouTube video.

625
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: That's that's amazing.

626
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 4: Almost as bad as when you put the point spread

627
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: to last year's championship game on your Instagram. Well, you're like,

628
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 4: look the look we're going off as six and a

629
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: half point favorites. If you wanted to get in, I'm like,

630
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 4: you guys line.

631
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: That that's that's joke that I'm not taking any I

632
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: don't want to think it. I'm taking I'm taking you

633
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: get on that game. I joked and told my buddy

634
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: Dan seven and a half. So he texted me before

635
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: the game, He's like, how's your knee well? And I

636
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: was like, dude, I just want to get some shots

637
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 3: up and it was like, not great, it's weird. I'm

638
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: gonna take some ath. Well he's like, that's great intel

639
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: for the line. I may have to uh, I may

640
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: have to give the points. And of course we covered

641
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: seven and a half. We had a guy banking of

642
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: three with like, you know, twelve seconds left and covered

643
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 3: and lost by six. But anyways, Rob, real quick, we

644
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: haven't done a lot with your raiders. What do you

645
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 3: want them to do in the draft at I believe

646
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 3: it's seven. Peter King came out Tuesday and said there's

647
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: a chance c J. Stroud does not go in the

648
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: top seven. And I wonder if he said top seven

649
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 3: because he knows something that the Raiders just are not interested.

650
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 3: They got Jimmy g they have no backup because they

651
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: lost Stidham to the Broncos. Who do you want at seven?

652
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: I want a quarterback? And if they're not gonna get

653
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 4: c J. Stroud, maybe you take that flyer on Anthony

654
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 4: Richardson because you already got Garoppolo for one season.

655
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: But well, wait, he's got longer than a one year deal.

656
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean you at a minimum, whoever takes

657
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson cannot play him as a rookie. You just can't.

658
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 4: He's too raw. He's not ready at all, unless you're

659
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 4: gonna get him like week twelve, just to get some

660
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: reps there before in the following season. But if they're

661
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: gonna get a quarterback, I'd rather than trade down because

662
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 4: their defense needs a hell of a lot more than

663
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 4: what the guy at number seven can give them. They

664
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 4: they need multiple corners, multiple defensive linemen, linebacker. I don't

665
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 4: know if this is a great draft for linebackers in

666
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 4: the first rounds. Maybe get them later. They need offensive

667
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 4: line help, like they need. They have a lot of

668
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: holes to fill. And yeah, if it's not a quarterback

669
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: trade down, accumulate more stuff, get after it again in

670
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:23,399
Speaker 4: a year.

671
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: I don't I just don't know if anybody's actually interested

672
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 3: in someone that much that they would move up to seven.

673
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: You've got to give the perception that you really want

674
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, so that Tennessee says we're going to come up.

675
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: We're coming up four spots to get him before Atlanta

676
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: has a crack at eight or I'm trying to think

677
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 3: off the top of my head, who is at nine? Damn,

678
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 3: I don't have my list in front of me. But yeah,

679
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Raiders are built like that.

680
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 4: You know, well they came from the Patriots, you know,

681
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 4: brain trust right when the Patriots famous for trading down

682
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 4: all the time. So we'll see what happens.

683
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: All right, So we'll do some draft tomorrow, obviously recapping

684
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: the hopeful Lakers suite. But I'm leaning toward agreeing with

685
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: Rob that it's a toll order for the Lakers to

686
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: win this game. You know, Lebron and Ad look absolutely

687
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 3: gassed after that game and only one day off should

688
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: be a good one. I would rank Kings Warriors as

689
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: the best game. I'm more intrigued by Buck's heat, but

690
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: obviously Lakers. We'll see and listen if Desmond Ban gets hot,

691
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks gets hot, and then they get in his

692
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 3: own like, it's not out of the realm that they

693
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: win three straight. This is a fifty three win team

694
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 3: or something. People want to It's so funny, Rob all

695
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 3: the all the anti Lebron people are like, it's freaking Memphis.

696
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: These guys stink. It's like, Bro, they've been the number

697
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 3: two seeds since January. They've won like fifty something games.

698
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: John Morint probably is gonna be All NBA. I didn't

699
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 3: vote him for it. And these are the same Jordan

700
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: fans who were like Michael Jordan had to go through

701
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 3: those Mark Price, Brad Doherty Cavs teams. They were really good,

702
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: like motherfucker Craigy Low, Mark Price, Brad Doherty.

703
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 4: But really, when this series wraps and the Lakers are

704
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 4: in Round two, it's gonna say the Lakers beat the

705
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 4: defensive player of the Year and an All NBA point guard.

706
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 4: That's a good point, just saying.

707
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: I forgot Jaron Jackson. He's good, all right. We've gone

708
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 3: long enough. That's it for today. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
