1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: You don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: You got two NBA heads sitting with you right now

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 2: in the building for the evening here on Fox Sports Radio,

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: and with the playoffs and their matchups now set, I

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: know we're gonna spend a ton of time on this today,

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: But first and foremost, good evening to you, Ephraim. Yeah, man,

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: how are you? I'm good because I actually just thought

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: of you as I was and I'll let everybody on

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: the picture. We just did the hustle here in the

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Bay Area because me and about eight of my closest

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 2: friends basically all kept it in the family. We went

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: out to that Warriors Clippers game this afternoon and then

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: we had to high tail it because I think went

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: into overtime. We had to get our butt in our car.

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: We had to get our butt home because we got work,

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: We got a show to do on Fox Sports Radio.

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: And what we're doing on the way home because I

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: got two boys in the car who are big, big, big,

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: big love for golf, and so they're watching Rory on

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: the phone. And you started our show last week last

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: week right with the whole story or was that the

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 2: week before?

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: That was before?

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Okay, two weeks ago. You started with just an absolute

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: animal of a story. I was literally on the edge

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 2: of my seat for fifteen minutes as you worked your

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: way through the story of you and your son and

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: the team that you weren't coaching, but then you weren't coaching,

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: and then bottom line, you did something as a group

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: that they had never done before and that they had

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: been wanting to do, that outfit that that team had

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: been wanting to do for a very long time. And

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: it is very, very gratifying, even when you've got no

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: skin in the game to hear stories like that, And

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: that's exactly what I was thinking as Rory Bogie eighteen.

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: But then in the playoff on eighteen makes Birdie and

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: since that Pott, it's like, my gosh, Rory was kind

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: of like he was kind of like E from the coach.

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: He's like, man, we're gonna try this again, and we're

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna have another opportunity here at the Masters, and this

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: time he flat out would not be denied. And I'm

42
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled for the guy. As he completes the career grand.

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: Slam, that's amazing.

44
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 4: You could see when he sank that put the adulation

45
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: on his on his he just collapsed down to the ground.

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: It's one of those moments where you know, that's what

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: you actually play sports for. These are the moments that

48
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 4: you can These are the moments didn't matter because you've

49
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: sacrificed so much and you he's won a bunch of money,

50
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: he's won a bunch of tournaments, and when you're on

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: the cusp of doing something again and it's right there,

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: it's almost like an out of body experience. It's that much.

53
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 4: And people were like, oh man, he was so happy.

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: His legs probably just gave out. Oh dog, Honestly, his

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: legs probably just gave out. So, you know, shout out

56
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 4: to him at a time where I don't know, I

57
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: would say, I'd love to see what these ratings are

58
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: when we come down to.

59
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: It, but but this.

60
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: Is I don't want to take any shine away from

61
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: Rory because he deserved to win this.

62
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: But goodness graces.

63
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know. Just hold because we're gonna

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 2: get hold. I'm gonna get to it. It's an interesting day,

65
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: isn't it. It's an interesting day because, uh, the NBA

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: really gave us something compelling that didn't necessarily feel like

67
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: it was going to be compelling as of a few

68
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: days ago. But the twists and turns of the Western

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: Conference all come down to basically playoff games before the playoffs,

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: and and and in a couple of cases, and and

71
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: and especially the one that that I was blessed enough

72
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: to to to attend live that's and then it goes

73
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: into overtime and you're like, my god, five five minutes

74
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: of basketball for a playoff spot. Who wants it? And

75
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: so that that was amazing. But I also tucked into

76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: the Rory thing was this And I don't know how

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: many times this kind of thing happens in life. This

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: is another thing that struck me. So whenever our chosen

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: sport starts to develop as kids, adolescents, whatever, that backyard

80
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: thing that you do, right, I got the ball tie

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: game down, I must shoot it. If you're a golfer, I imagine,

82
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: and I actually know, like, for instance, my son, this

83
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: is how it is. Here's a seven foot putt for

84
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: the Masters. If it goes in, win the Masters. If

85
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: it doesn't go in, you don't win the Masters. And Rory,

86
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: who has had similar opportunities, but if memory serves, I

87
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: don't think he's ever had that I don't think he'd

88
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: ever had before where it was like, dude, roll that

89
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: in and you win the Masters. And he had a

90
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: seven foot for the Masters, and it had no chance.

91
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: It was an absolute no. The second it left his blade,

92
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: it was a no. And sixteen minutes later he had

93
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: another putt for the Masters. And I was like, man,

94
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: how often does that happen in life? Where the thing

95
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: that you've been grinding on for I don't know how long,

96
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: when that opportunity presents itself, right, the eminem song starts

97
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: playing and you're like, I get no, not in this case,

98
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: you didn't have one. You had to you had too

99
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 2: and and and I was struck by that. And and

100
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: I guess in a way Rory deserves credit for that.

101
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: Not in a way, in a lot of ways, Roy

102
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: deserves credit for that. But also, man, that's that's that's

103
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 2: a wonderful development and break because when you get that

104
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: one thing that you've been dreaming about and you don't

105
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: execute it, I would argue it usually takes more than

106
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: sixteen minutes to get the opportunity again. But that's what

107
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 2: happened in this particular case. And he wasn't going to

108
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: be denied twice.

109
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: No, and you know, shout out to him. I know've

110
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: been trying to climb his mountain. But it's you know,

111
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: it's a tremendous Golf needs these type of exciting moments.

112
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: They need him, you know, they need these type of

113
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: heartfelt It's a lot that happened in golf for people

114
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: we don't we're not invested in totally. So at any

115
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: given moment, someone can win one of these majors and

116
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: we'll be like, now, it's true.

117
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: I could if I read if I read the Golf

118
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: is so funny like that, if I read the top

119
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: ten on the leader board at the Masters, I guarantee you.

120
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a golf fan, like I'm looking

121
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: at him now and I've heard of just about all

122
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: of the I've heard of all of them. But I'm

123
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: a golf fan. You know you got Rory McElroy and

124
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Bryson D. Chambeau was the last group. You could argue

125
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: those are the two most famous golfers in the world

126
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: right now outside of Tiger, and Tiger's not really relevant

127
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: in the moment, so you could argue that Scottie Scheffler, obviously,

128
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: and he was fourth so he was right there, justin Rose,

129
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: who's never won a major, but he's been around for

130
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: a long time. I think this was his fifth second place.

131
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: Patrick Reid on once before, Sung Gai Im tied for fifth,

132
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: Ludwig Alberge in seventh. And if you know golf, you're like, yeah,

133
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: that's a really good young player. But I'm betting a

134
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: lot of you out there like, I'm sorry, what did

135
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: you just say to me? And so you're right, it's

136
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: a weird sport. Corey Cotters was it five under? Harris English?

137
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: Four under? I don't I'm sorry, I don't know. It's

138
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: a weird thing.

139
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: And you know, we don't want to be disparaging to him.

140
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: We're not taking anything away from them, no, but we

141
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: just don't know, and we're not vested.

142
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: Right, And if you don't know, let's be real, you

143
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: pretty much don't care. And so yeah, you're right, golf

144
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: needs this, and golf also needs I know. We love

145
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: at seven thirty Pacific every Sunday night when Steve comes

146
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: on and gives us what's going on on live golf

147
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: versus PGA and who made a eight point two million

148
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: dollars for coming in fourth place or whatever the hell

149
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: is going on these days, and I'm sure we'll get

150
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: that in two hours and twenty minutes and I can't wait.

151
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: But tournaments like this they bring those two things together.

152
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: Maybe that's great. Rory is kind of the face of

153
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: the PGA Tour, Bryson might be kind of the face

154
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: of live golf. I don't know, like even that to

155
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 2: me that that does not have sustainability. I think they

156
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: need to figure that out and get back on the

157
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: same page. It would have been better if both of

158
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: them had played well today. D Champeau did not, and

159
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: even Rory was only mediocre. But all in all, you're right,

160
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: what that's about as good as I think the Masters

161
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: could have hoped for in terms of a TV product today.

162
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: It's if we don't have that level of excitement and

163
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: drive for Rory, then we're not even talk about it.

164
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: We're just gonna move on.

165
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: We'll say who won, and then we'll just push out

166
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: the way.

167
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: Finally got his damn green jacket, the green finally got

168
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: the jacket, green jacket. Who gives you got all? You

169
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: got all the jackets? Now got all the jackets, got

170
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: them all? He's got them all? And and uh, he's uh,

171
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: he's one of the greats, and I think he's been

172
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: a pretty great spokesman for the sport. And so that's

173

183
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: your first thought on everything that unfolded today?

184
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: It went exactly how I was supposed to go all

185
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: my mind for all.

186
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,360

188
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: And here's here's mine. Here's my tidbit. Mine is I

189
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: watched that game. I went to that game, I rooted

190
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: for my team, and then I walked back to the

191
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 2: car going that was probably a blessing in disguise. That's

192
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: probably what that was. A lot of fans around me

193
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: are like, well, oh man, I'm like, I think it's okay,

194
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: it's ok I think it's ok I think it's scary,

195
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: but it's okay. So we're gonna get to this. Let's

223
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: exactly like you hoped. Is that how you phrased it.

224
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: That's exactly how I phrased it.

225
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: Talk to me, So.

226
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: What I wanted to avoid based on selfish reasons, was

227
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: Golden State winning and us seeing them in the first round.

228
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 4: Why Because I have too much respect for Steph, too

229
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: much respect for Draymond and Golden State Warriors to see

230
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 4: them bounced out of the playoffs in the first round.

231
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: That's an amazing way to phrase it.

232
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: That the truth.

233
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: You literally made everyone think that you're gonna be I

234
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: got too much respect for Steph and Draymond. You left

235
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: Jimmy Buckets.

236
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 3: Out Jimmy Buckets. Of course, I got too.

237
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: Much respect for them to sort of like take the

238
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: chance that a first round series like that could go

239
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: either way.

240
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: And legends no, one way or.

241
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: Another, Legends are gonna get knocked out. I told you

242
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: this three four weeks ago. That was your sentiment that

243
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: this would be like skipping for play. Yeah, you can't

244
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: do that. We get like something, you can do that,

245
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: but like, no, yo, take your time, take your time.

246
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't need Steph to play Lebron out the damn

247
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: gate hot that it's coming out.

248
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: Wins.

249
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, now the league wins there if that series doesn't

250
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: end up happening down the road. But now, if the

251
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: Warriors are able to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies in forty

252
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: eight hours, the Warriors will play the very young and

253
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: talented Houston Rockets.

254
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a great series.

255
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: And if that series happens, I could see that one

256
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: also being dangerous and going either way. But them, yeah,

257
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: well okay, we we're gonna get into that. But all

258
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: I want to say to start is that if people

259
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: understand the bracket a little bit here, the Warriors and

260
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: Lakers could now play in the conference semi finals as

261
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: opposed to Round one, and in theory, if that were

262
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: to happen, and I think it's got a puncher's chance

263
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: at least to still happen. Now the Warriors have got

264
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: forty eight minutes that they've got ex correctly, but I

265
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: think that's got a good punchers chance to happen. And

266
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,359
Speaker 2: if the Western Conference sort of plays out as OKC

267
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: does their thing, and then in the conference finals awaits

268
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: the winner of the Warriors Lakers, just listen. If I'm

269
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: a scriptwriter, that's what I'm doing. Yeah, I know you

270
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: are right. That's how i'd write this thing if I

271
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: had a choice, and I don't, but that remains on

272
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: the table at this hour, and right if the couple

273
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: balls go in that didn't go in, if Draymond doesn't

274
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: blow a layup, what have you? Right, we could have

275
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: been having this series right out of the gate, and

276
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: and from true truly. Now I'm sitting in that arena

277
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: and I'm rooting with everything I got because I don't

278
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: know any other way to do it. But in the

279
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: back of my mind, every time they were getting threatened,

280
00:16:54,640 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: I would go probably for the best. It's probably for

281
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: the best. I mean, I hate that forty eight minutes

282
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: of basketball against Memphis, Like, that's that's risky. It's risky.

283
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 2: Somebody could get hurt, you could have a bad night.

284
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: You're a better team than Memphis, but it's very risky.

285
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,479
Speaker 2: And I was I was team avoid the playing tournament

286
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: at all costs. But now they're in it, and provided

287
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: that they play a good basketball game on Tuesday night,

288
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: this is probably the best the Western Conference could have

289
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: had to offer.

290
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. I think it is. I

291
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: think I think.

292
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 4: Just out of respect of the two faces of the league,

293
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: you don't want that as.

294
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: A first round matchup.

295
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: That's you know, you want to see them lathered up

296
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: deep into the playoffs, right, have fought and and and

297
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 4: and done what they've they've supposed to do, and you

298
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: get them in the second round. And now now it's

299
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 4: you know, it's that's a better story than having one

300
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: of these two teams done early. That's the why I

301
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 4: looked at it, and that's why I wanted the Clippers

302
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: to win that game, especially after Denver and everybody else

303
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 4: did what they were supposed to do.

304
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: Yep, Denver one.

305
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: Minnesota one, and so I love the man matchup with

306
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 4: for us, the excitement of what's about to happen.

307
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: That's that's so talented basketball team. I'll tell you this

308
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: so talented basketball team.

309
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: All season.

310
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 4: We've been trying to fix the NBA, but essentially all

311
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 4: we've been trying to do is keep it together until

312
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 4: right now. Because what transpired today, I mean that was

313
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 4: the tournament was probably one Adam Silver's best things that

314
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 4: he could have done. Yep, because those games today meant everything,

315
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: and guys were playing like those games meant everything.

316
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: And I love that.

317
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 4: I love getting a precursor, getting a taste of what's

318
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: about to happen for the next couple months or next

319
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 4: month and a half or so.

320
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 3: With the NBA.

321
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 4: The NBA isn't broken. People just don't care until they care. Now,

322
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 4: of course, you have to do something with the All

323
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: Star Game that that's not necessarily the NBA because it's

324
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: an ancillary game, and that doesn't matter. It's that's the

325
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: real entertaining part of it that needs to be fixed.

326
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: But the product itself is really good, and we saw

327
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 4: that in that overtime game today. That is what the

328
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: NBA is and is about to be for the next

329
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: few months, and I'm excited to go on that journey

330
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 4: and be a part of that because that's going to

331
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: be fantastic.

332
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 2: High level basketball game, very very very high level basketball game.

333
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: And I think the Clippers are going to beat the

334
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets in that first round series. Say that again,

335
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: I think that the Clippers are going to beat the

336
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: Nuggets in that first round series. And I think that

337
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: the Warriors are going to beat the Grizzlies on Tuesday Night,

338
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: and I think that the Warriors are going to have

339
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: a damn good shot to beat the Houston Rockets in

340
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: that first round series provided that, Yeah, provided that they

341
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: do win Tuesday and obviously get some time off because

342
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 2: they need it, like all teams do, but especially older teams.

343
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: Can we after the best part of our hour, I'd

344
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: love to circle back to the level of confidence that

345
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: you have in this Laker team, which I I understand partially.

346
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: I get because that's your team. So you're a fan

347
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: of that.

348
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you already you've always known that I'm I'm

349
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 3: a straight shooter.

350
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: Win You're a straight shooter, don't You don't you're a

351
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: straight shooter. You're over confident though you're over confident. No,

352
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: you're glad that they're not playing the Warriors because you

353
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: damn well know that it's possible that you lost that series.

354
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: Shot is Paul Pierce here, I'll tell you what, hold

355
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: Paul Pierce, because Paul's great, he's not as great as

356
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: Steve de Sager.

357
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: He is not.

358
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: So let's do Paul after Steve de Sager. Let's do

359
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger.

360
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 6: First, bringing me in in a wheelchair here, right.

361
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: That's right? Uh?

362
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 7: Can we just start with the NBA now while we're

363
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 7: on the subject. We will get to Rory's win in

364
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 7: a moment. But the NBA had everyone in action on

365
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 7: this season finale day. The regular season is over all

366
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 7: the Eastern Conference games started at the same time at

367
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 7: one Eastern and then all the Western Conference games started

368
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 7: in the afternoon at the same time. In the East,

369
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 7: all the seeds were locked in coming into today, we

370
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 7: know the one seed is Cleveland for what it's worth,

371
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 7: they lost at home in double overtime. Number two seed

372
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 7: is Boston. Boston wound up winning at home, and the

373
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 7: three seed is New York. New York won its finale

374
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 7: on the road.

375
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 6: We already knew in the.

376
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 7: East first round series beginning next weekend Nicks versus Pistons,

377
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 7: Pacers versus Bucks starting next weekend. By the way, Donovan

378
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 7: Mitchell of the Cabs missing a four straight game with

379
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 7: the sprained ankle. In the East, we had Atlanta finishing

380
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 7: up with a win against Orlando. The play in in

381
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: the East is Atlanta against Orlando this week. The winner

382
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 7: will get the seventh seed and therefore head to Boston

383
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 7: for next weekend to start a best of seven. But

384
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 7: that Atlanta Orlando matchup in Florida, we'll start the play

385
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 7: in tournament on Tuesday, and the late game Tuesday night

386
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 7: Golden State hosting Memphis. The Warriors lost their finale in

387
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 7: overtime at home to the Clippers one twenty four to

388
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 7: one to nineteen. That Warrior loss drops them to seventh

389
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 7: and that play in date with the Grizzlies. Also in

390
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 7: the West on Wednesday, ten BM Eastern, it'll be Dallas

391
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 7: versus Sacramento in a play in the ten versus nine

392
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 7: game in the East is Wednesday with the Bulls hosting

393
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 7: the Miami Heat. The Lakers, we already knew, were just

394
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 7: waiting for their first round opponent. We knew there were

395
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 7: a three seed Lakers sat everybody lost at Portland today.

396
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 7: By the way, the Blazers gave coach Chauncey Billips contract extension.

397
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 7: Number two seed in the West is Houston, number one

398
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 7: Oklahoma City. Lakers at three will be opening against No.

399
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 7: Not Golden State, you say, Lakers against the sixth seed

400
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 7: Minnesota Timberwolves, who won their finale at home against Utah

401
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 7: one sixteen one oh five. Anthony Edwards did play, Hey,

402
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 7: ladies and gentlemen, boy did he play forty three points

403
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: in this game. There was a danger he was not

404
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 7: playing the finale today because he had picked up his

405
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 7: eighteenth technical foul of the season on Friday. That would

406
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 7: mean an automatic one game suspension. Saturday, they rescinded the

407
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 7: tee and he was able to play today, and Minnesota

408
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 7: finishes fourth in the West with the win, they could

409
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 7: have been as low as eighth if they had lost

410
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 7: at home today. Denver won its finale at Houston, won

411
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 7: twenty six to one eleven, so the Nuggets clinched the

412
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 7: four seed, and the Nuggets will face the five seed

413
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 7: Clippers in a first round series starting next weekend. So

414
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 7: there's the lay of the land for the NBA and again.

415
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 7: The play in tournament starts Tuesday. You might call this

416
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 7: Friday the Last Chance Night, because that's when the losers

417
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 7: of those Tuesday games play the winner of the Wednesday game.

418
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 7: In each conference, those Friday Night winners get the eight seeds.

419
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: In the playoffs.

420
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 7: Orry McElroy won the Masters in a playoff over Justin Rose.

421
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 7: McElroy has the career Grand Slam. He's now one of

422
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 7: six men with a career Grand Slam and golf, the

423
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 7: first since Tiger Woods in two thousand. McElroy missed a

424
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 7: short putt on the eighteenth hole that would have won it,

425
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 7: but then he birdied the same hole in the playoff

426
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 7: for the victory. Patrick Reed finished in third place, two

427
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 7: shots back. Scottie Scheffler was three back. Bryson Deshamba shot

428
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 7: seventy five today failed to a tie for fifth, four

429
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 7: strokes behind. Kyle Larson was the NASCAR winner at Bristol, Tennessee.

430
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 7: He dominated Saturday's ex Finity Race there as well. Kyle

431
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 7: Kirkwood took the Long Beach Ground Prix. In Major League Baseball,

432
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 7: the Cubs are at the Dodgers tonight. Cubs pitcher Justin

433
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 7: Steele will have season ending elbow surgery. Dodgers and Cubs

434
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 7: tied one to one bottom of the fifth. Right now,

435
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 7: the Dodger starter as Tyler Glass. Now, the Dodgers quite

436
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 7: purposefully did not use a single good reliever in last

437
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 7: night's game. So once they behind, I don't care. You're

438
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 7: staying in the game. We're not pulling you. And so

439
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 7: it wound up a sixteen nothing lost to the Cubs

440
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 7: last night, and the Dodgers had been seven to zero

441
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 7: at home. They suffered their worst ever shut out loss

442
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 7: at home. The record they broke dated back to the

443
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 7: eighteen hundreds. Sixteen nothing last night, and it turned out

444
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 7: on a day when the A's closer, Mason Miller yesterday

445
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 7: was clocked one of his fastballs going one hundred three

446
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 7: point seven miles per hour. That night, the Dodgers were

447
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 7: using a backup infielder to pitch the eighth and ninth innings,

448
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 7: and Miguel Rojas at one point was clocked at thirty

449
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 7: six miles per hour with one.

450
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 6: Of his pitches. He got six outs.

451
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 7: Eventually most of his pitches were under fifty miles an hour.

452
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 7: I faced harder fastballs in Little League, and I am

453
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 7: not kidding. I've never seen a major league pitch clocked

454
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 7: at thirty six miles per hour, but that's what happened

455
00:26:59,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 7: last night.

456
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 6: Today's a new day.

457
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: Back to you.

458
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 2: I hope that's a record. I hope that's a record.

459
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 7: I would say it's batting practice, but they throw about

460
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 7: twice as hard.

461
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: Way faster than that. And batting practice, yes, yes, I had.

462
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: My eleven year old had Little league practice this morning.

463
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: There was nothing thirty six miles an hour in that league.

464
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: Check in on those three teams that you love to

465
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 2: talk about there, they're on the National League West. I've

466
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: got an aggregate of I mean, the Dodgers are in

467
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 2: action right now, but at the moment, thirty five and twelve,

468
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: thirty five and twelve, the Padres, Giants, and Dodgers collectively

469
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: thirty five and twelve.

470
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 7: So that's about a seven hundred winning percentage. There isn't

471
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 7: a single team in the majors that has a seven hundred.

472
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: The three best records in baseball, and if the Dodgers

473
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: win tonight, it is a clean seven point fifty three

474
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: out of every four games these three teams are winning.

475
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 6: And the Padres have yet to lose a home game,

476
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 6: ten and O at home.

477
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 2: Correct, ten and O at home, and another four game

478
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: win streak with their their victory today. And yes, the

479
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 2: Giants just took two out of three in the Bronx,

480
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: and uh yeah, the Dodgers are are attempted.

481
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 7: One of the Beat writers did point out late last night,

482
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 7: we're not quite too mid April and the Rockies are

483
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 7: already nine and a half games out.

484
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: Holy crap, I didn't even notice that. Look at that.

485
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: That's incredible. Nine and a half games out and it's

486
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: not mid April yet. We haven't got a tax day.

487
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: You can't be double digit games out before tax day. Wow.

488
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, Steve. Great stuff is always

00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 8: Scenes first round. This is the one thing that can

494
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 8: bounce the late in the first round, because you got

495
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 8: think about it, you gotta play again. I'd rather play

496
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 8: against three all stars than three Hall of famers. You're

497
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 8: playing against some Hall of famers who can have a

498
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 8: relapse on they oh from a couple of years ago

499
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 8: winning championship and just go off in the series. And

500
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 8: whenever you got step Draymond and Jimmy Butler in the series,

501
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 8: you feel comfortable with that.

502
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got we got Lebron James.

503
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: That's good, that's we got it. That's good.

504
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: We got Lebron James.

505
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 8: Okay, they got got Luca Curry and they got it

506
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 8: round there. They got Draymond Green, who's up for Defensive

507
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 8: Player of the Year.

508
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: Who can guard any of those guys?

509
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 8: You think you can worried about Draymond, Well, you honestly

510
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 8: think lucill worried about how I think Luca worry about

511
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 8: Drayon and Jimmy Butler, two guys who ain't even worried

512
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 8: about that. And then he gonna have to guard on

513
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 8: the other end, and that's why they're gonna put them.

514
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: In some tough situation.

515
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: On again, I'm just saying I'm the only worried on.

516
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 8: Lakers are playing well, they look good, ayr Austin Reeves,

517
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 8: Luca bro they look amazing, But I don't want them

518
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 8: to see Golden State in the first.

519
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: Well, okay, listen to me. What you said earlier from

520
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: is correct, and so is what he just said. This

521
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: is great for the league that this matchup is not

522
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: happening yet. I'm not here to tell you that the

523
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: Warriors would have won this matchup, but I'm damn well

524
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: here to tell you they could have. And you know

525
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: that I feel this way. Yeah, And that trade made

526
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers an easier, not easy, easy er target for

527
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: the Warriors in particular. And you saw it last week.

528
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I saw it last week.

529
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: I saw it.

530
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 3: I saw a great game Luca on skates.

531
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: There's no one for him to guard in that series.

532
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still think in the playoffs, I'm putting my

533
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: money on on the Lakers against them because you have

534
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: Steph and you're right, he can turn back the hand

535
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 4: of time any moment and go crazy. But can he

536
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 4: do it for four games, five game, six games seven?

537
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: Like maybe or maybe not?

538
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: And yeah maybe not? Point I mean, like, why are

539
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: we talking about Steph turning back the clock when the

540
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: best player on the Lakers is forty.

541
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 4: Right, And the thing that he has, number one, he's

542
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 4: shooting better than he's ever shot from three point, But

543
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 4: at any moment he can put his head down and

544
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: get to the rim for sure, and Golden State not

545
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 4: have any rim protector at all. Boats well for us

546
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: in terms of the drive and the kick. That's why

547
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: I'm saying I'm not worried about them. The teams that

548
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 4: I'm worried about are the teams that have size. They

549
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: don't have size what they do have and and Steph

550
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: Curry is tremendous shooting, and I get and I give

551
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: that to them. They have tremendous shooting and have the

552
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: greatest shooter of all time just putting the ball up

553
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: in the air. But we've also seen Steph not be

554
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: on Absolutely can they can Jimmy Butler carry that team

555
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: when Steph is not being Steph.

556
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a fair question. It's a fair question. He

557
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: certainly tried to tonight and then Steph kind of became Steph

558
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter and then whatever back and forth,

559
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: it becomes an overtime game, it comes down to one possession,

560
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: they lose. But like, I wouldn't even tell you to

561
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 2: not put your money on the Lakers in that series.

562
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 2: But I'm telling you that it's a threat. It's a threat. Actually,

563
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how many full blown threats there are

564
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: to the Lakers, not these playoffs. I don't know how

565
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 2: many there are. Oklahoma City is a threat just because

566
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 2: they're Oklahoma City, the phenomenal basketball team. Even though I

567
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: know the Lakers, you could argue matchup pretty well with them.

568
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: We'll see, and we'll see if that ends up being

569
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: the conference finals. But I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

570
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: agree with Paul that if there is one team, if

571
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: I'm the Lakers, that would what's the right word. It's

572
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: not scare me, it's not intimidating me. The one team

573
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: that I think does have the best chance to actually

574
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: beat them in a seven game series is the Warriors.

575
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: And they're not even in the playoffs yet.

576
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got some work to do.

577
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: They got to do, They got some work to do,

578
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 4: and and you know, I'm pulling for them. I hope

579
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: they get their job done and and and get themselves

580
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: in the position to to step into the playoffs.

581
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: They are zero and three in play in.

582
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 4: But it's you know, they haven't won since they've been

583
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: at any time in the play in right, so well,

584
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 4: no matter how far I go to, the play has

585
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 4: only been around for four years.

586
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Jimmy Butler is undefeated in the play.

587
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, so so with those two can when can those

588
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: two come together and create new history? Is the is

589
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: the is the question? Find out?

590
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: Don't find out? All right? We got all kinds of

591
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: permutations to get to. I haven't even asked you what

592
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: you think about the Wolves and Lakers and uh, and

593
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: we'll get to a bunch of the matchups that that

594
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: that have now unfolded in the tirag dot com studios

595
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: with e From Salama, Mark Wellard on Fox Sports Radio.

596
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

597
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: We're live in the tire rag dot com studios. Mark Willard,

598
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: Ephram Salaam. I'll tell you this, brother, this Lakers Wolves series.

599
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say the Wolves are better than what

600
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 2: they are. They they they're good, they're limited, they're good.

601
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: But you know what label they've got for me in

602
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 2: the NBA this year, they're the number one, should be

603
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: better than they are? Team Yeah, they're the number one.

604
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: You should be better than what you are. And so

605
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: the only thing that scares me there is what if

606
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: that just shows up four times? Because it did last

607
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: year and then it didn't, and then it did and

608
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: last year's team is different than this year's team. This

609
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: year's team doesn't have Karl Anthony Towns. Instead, they've got

610
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 2: Julius Randall and Dante DiVincenzo. But it's a deep team.

611
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 2: It's a really good three point shooting team when they

612
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: get hot. And it's a team that a lot of

613
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: the guys had experience winning a game seven on the

614
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: road last year and going all the way to the

615
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: conference finals before then performing in a disappointing way when

616
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: they got there. But still, like, I don't know, man,

617
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 2: that collection of talent when they walk out onto the

618
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: floor is a thing. They can shake your branches a

619
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: little bit.

620
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm really not worried, man.

621
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: Really, why you realize that? Like the Lakers are the

622
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: big bad three seed with fifty wins and the Timberwolves

623
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: are all the way down to the sixth seed with

624
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: forty nine. Like one game, yes, separates these two teams

625
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: in terms of record. Where is this? Where is this

626
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 2: brashness from.

627
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 4: Well, at some point in the season, we got one

628
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 4: of the five best players in the NBA to partner

629
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 4: him with one of the best players to ever play

630
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 4: the game period fair and we have a coach that

631
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 4: really knows how to coach and actually make adjustments.

632
00:36:53,960 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: And so my you know, trepidation or hesitancy is not.

633
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about them because you know what it

634
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 4: takes to be a champion in winning the playoffs. We

635
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: have two guys on our team that knows exactly what

636
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 4: that is. Now, Luca got to the what they won

637
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 4: the West last year and got to the finals for

638
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 4: the first time for him, So he's poised to take

639
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 4: another step. And there is no one better than Lebron

640
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 4: James currently in the NBA outside of Steph Curry to

641
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: help him take that step. That's why I'm not worried,

642
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 4: and I'm not you know, you know, yeah, look they

643
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 4: have talent.

644
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 2: Yeah I'm not saying I'm not supposed to say. I'm

645
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: not saying it's supposed to be like oh, but like yeah, flippant,

646
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 2: it's that a little flipping.

647
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: Look, man, I really I'm really in that. Look, this

648
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 3: is not that.

649
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: No, I don't I.

650
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 3: Wanted the Lakers to get to fifty wins.

651
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 4: I want I knew if they got to fifty they

652
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 4: could either be this is early on, either be the

653
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: two or the or the three seed which locked them in.

654
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 3: That's what I wanted. Uh, they did that and so.

655
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 4: Job one done. Okay, fair They get to rest. They

656
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 4: get about eight days off.

657
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: Yep.

658
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 4: I don't think Lebron or any of those guys even

659
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 4: went to Portland. They've been at home, they've been resting,

660
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 4: and I see this as a time for them to

661
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 4: lock in. The great thing about the playoffs is you

662
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 4: know exactly who you're playing, you know exactly when you're playing.

663
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: Them, and they there is no up and down. We're healthy.

664
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see them go out there and do

665
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 4: what their goals they set. J. J. Reddick has to

666
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 4: be up for Coach of the Year, has to be

667
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 4: rookie coach, never coached before in a in a West

668
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: that is a gauntlet, secures the three seed.

669
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna have a hard time.

670
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: I know.

671
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: I know you're gonna have a hard time beating Atkinson.

672
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 4: Atkinson, bigger staff, I get it. But no one's talking

673
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 4: about that. So I'm I'm going to talk about it

674
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: because what he did was unbelievable.

675
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 2: I mean, even even two wins for that team, absolutely,

676
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: what in God's name happens?

677
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 4: A great coaching going on in the NBA, and I

678
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 4: just want JJ is one of those guys.

679
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 2: Okay, listen much much more to get to on that

680
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: front as the NBA slatest set that's next.

681
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

682
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: As Steve said, one of the only things going on

683
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 2: tonight Dodgers Cubs at the Ravine. That thing is tied

684
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: in too in the six Dodgers threatening for more. Rory

685
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: McElroy has completed the career Grand Slam in the NBA

686
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: has completed its regular season dot dot dot sort of.

687
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: These games that'll get played next week are not playoff games.

688
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 2: They're also not regular season games. Their stats do not count.

689
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: They are sitting in their own bucket of space, just

690
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: kind of sitting there. But they'll get started on Tuesday.

691
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: We're here to break down all of it, broadcasting live

Speaker 2: dot com the way tire buying should be. We'll get

696
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: back to the Lakers matchup with the Wolves I mentioned earlier.

697
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 2: I will pick right now the Clippers to defeat the

698
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets in that first round series, and I think

699
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 2: the Clippers will move on to take on the Oklahoma

700
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: City Thunder in round two. We don't even know who

701
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: the Thunder are going to play yet, could be anyone

702
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: out of the play in tournament in theory. But while

703
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: we're on that Clippers and Nuggets, it struck me, as

704
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 2: we were kind of thinking about what we were going

705
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 2: to get into tonight, that it was exactly a week

706
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: ago that we sat here when the Nuggets i think,

707
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 2: lost a game at home to the Indiana Pacers. We

708
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: were watching that game together and you were rooting. You

709
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: were rooting hard, and the Pacers did their thing and

710
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: they won that game, and the Rockets did their thing

711
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: by beating the Golden State Warriors that night, and you

712
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,919
Speaker 2: are a happy camper. And it dawned on me that

713
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: that ended up being the last game Mike Malone would

714
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 2: coach for the Denver Nuggets. What is your take on

715
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: what happened this week in day?

716
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 4: That's a tough take because I'm not quite sure now.

717
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 4: I do know that, uh, Mike Malone is you know,

718
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 4: he's opinionated, he's sterned. He you know, he's got a

719
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 4: bit of a chip like most head coaches do. I

720
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: didn't see this coming or even understand why. I know

721
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 4: he relied heavily on his older guys, including new older

722
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 4: guy Russell Westbrook.

723
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: And yep, yeah, go ahead.

724
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 4: And I don't think that's the direction the organization wanted

725
00:42:51,480 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 4: to lean coming down the stretch. And I I think

726
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 4: that on top of, you know, some of the things

727
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 4: he has said in the meeting and in terms of

728
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 4: criticizing all of the players and and things like that,

729
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 4: I think ownership was like, Okay, well, enough is enough.

730
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 4: We're going to make the playoffs this year. Can we

731
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: punt this and and and and and look our way

732
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 4: into making a deep playoff run? Uh? And if we do,

733
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 4: there will be no pushback because we're doing it with

734
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 4: with or without them.

735
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 3: Anyway.

736
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 4: I just think today's owners, in terms of players, owners

737
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:49,720
Speaker 4: who are buying teams now, they're highly successful in other

738
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 4: endeavors and they don't necessarily run a franchise like you

739
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 4: would customarily see. And with that, they're okay with making

740
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 4: rash and impulsive moves. Yeah, I mean, and we're seeing

741
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 4: that across the board.

742
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: No doubt. Fascinating article written on ESPN my friend Ramona

743
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: Shelburne did a bunch of work on this and went

744
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 2: to Sacramento the other night, which is where Denver was playing,

745
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: and did a deep dive on what was happening in

746
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: that locker room. And one of the things that stood

747
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: out was a quote that quote everybody in the organization

748
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 2: was miserable, and so at the core of this also,

749
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: I think everything that you said has some accuracy to it,

750
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: But I guess also you had a full blown war

751
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: between the coach and the general manager in this case,

752
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 2: and it led to both of them getting fired. You know,

753
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: this was almost, maybe to really dumb it down, the

754
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: Nuggets walked into a room where both kids were fighting constantly,

755
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 2: and they try to get mom or dad immediately on

756
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: their side, and what the parent immediately does is you're

757
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 2: both grounded. You're both grounded. It doesn't even matter who's

758
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 2: right anymore. You've simply created an environment that everybody hates,

759
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: and we're not doing it anymore. And so I guess

760
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: what I take from that because also, and I don't

761
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: know to what level this is true, I never do

762
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: with a star player, but Nicola Jokic was like, no,

763
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 2: they just they brought me in and told me that

764
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 2: they did it. It wasn't like somebody asked for my opinion.

765
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: They just told me that it was already done. And

766
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: Jokicic arrived at a team meeting on Tuesday where he

767
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 2: was the only player that knew what had already taken place,

768
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: but he said there was no room for my opinion.

769
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 2: They told me they did it. I accepted it, and

770
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: we move on and that's it. And that's his public sentence.

771
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: So I don't know, you know, it sounds to me,

772
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 2: at least this is a layman's take, but sounds to

773
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: me like Nicola didn't go in there and put up

774
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 2: a fight. Maybe he felt like it was too late,

775
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: or maybe, as is reported, he too was miserable because

776
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: that with the environment that had been created. So yeah,

777
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 2: it leads down that road for me to where people

778
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 2: are looking at this and they're going, well, wait a minute,

779
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: Jokics must have signed off on this. I don't know

780
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: if Joki signed off on this, but it is another

781
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 2: example of player comfort, and that used to not be

782
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,720
Speaker 2: a thing, and now it is. If the players are uncomfortable,

783
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: it doesn't even really matter how recently you won a

784
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: championship you're not the right guy.

785
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 3: It's definitely.

786
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 4: The NBA is a player driven league, and if you

787
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,959
Speaker 4: lose track of that as a coach, you may lose

788
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 4: track of your job. And that's what it really boils

789
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 4: down to, like, you know, job security as having number

790
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 4: one on the call sheet in lockstep with you. And

791
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 4: that's a term we use in television, number one on

792
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 4: the call sheet. You know, my mentor, Chris Collins, told

793
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 4: me a story about when he was co EP or

794
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 4: EP of Sons of Anarchy and somebody was having a

795
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 4: conversation with him and literally saying hey and pointed to

796
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: all these influential people and all the people who had

797
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 4: a part in making this show. It was like, they

798
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,439
Speaker 4: can make the show without them, without them, without them,

799
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 4: without me, without you, and one person they can't make

800
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 4: this show without And he pointed to Charlie Hunt and

801
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 4: was like his him. And that's what number one on

802
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 4: the call sheet is, because everybody can be replaced except

803
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 4: the guy that everybody's coming to see, are tuning in

804
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 4: to see, and that can create as you could imagine,

805
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 4: some you know, very you know.

806
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 3: Trepidacious working a working environment.

807
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 4: Not every number one on the call sheet is cotton,

808
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 4: candy and roses to be around. But in the NBA

809
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 4: number one on the call sheet for coaches, security is

810
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 4: very important. Darvin Ham doesn't get fired if Lebron James

811
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 4: likes Darving Ham either does.

812
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 3: What's the John in Memphis?

813
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 2: Taylor Jenkins? Yep?

814
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: But what what was David Blat in Cleveland?

815
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, well, I mean we could go well, I.

816
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 3: Mean they had a winning record.

817
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: There's only one organization, and I don't think that this

818
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 2: is telling the whole story, but there's only one organization,

819
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 2: Miami that has stood up to Lebron, and it's Miami

820
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 2: right right there, coach in general Panager right and and

821
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 2: and we just saw the mini reboot of it with

822
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler in Miami, and it's funny like that Miami Heat.

823
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: For a long time, they've built a brand themselves. It's

824
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,959
Speaker 2: called Heat Culture. And that one was like, yeah, man,

825
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,280
Speaker 2: Heat Culture. Spoe is a good coach, pat Riley's a legend.

826
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 2: And sometimes I sit there and I go, okay, uh, sure,

827
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 2: I've got respect for the Heat organization, but how many

828
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 2: more years are we going to go with the culture

829
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 2: before we stop and go I'm sorry, what's happening here.

830
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: You're thirty seven and forty five. Your stars are all gone.

831
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: They're all gone. Tyler Hero is a good player, not

832
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: a star, not a star. Bam out of bio, good player,

833
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: not a star. Andrew Wiggins good player.

834
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 3: Definitely not a star.

835
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: So maybe we're actually on the front end of when

836
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 2: heat culture needs to look at itself too, because pat

837
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 2: Riley is still cruising around in his like what is

838
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 2: he in his eighties? He's still cruising around doing things

839
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 2: like the my way or the highway, sort of away

840
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 2: from the showtime lakers of the eighties, and we're in

841
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 2: a new eighties. Now, you're not in the eighties. You're

842
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 2: in your eighties. And I don't think it were I

843
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 2: don't think it works. So you can be like, yeah,

844
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: I love that he digs his heels in cool. He's

845
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: got no players now.

846
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody's there.

847
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 4: So you know, I think even if players aren't asked,

848
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 4: could they are they okay with it? I think these

849
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 4: new owners case in point, Luka Doncics gets traded. What

850
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 4: that did in the league was it sent a message

851
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 4: to everybody, Hey, man, right, you're an employee here, yep, yep,

852
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 4: you're an employee and the two firings this year to

853
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 4: playoff and play in teams with Memphis Grizzlies and.

854
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 3: The Denver no Uggets.

855
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 4: That's also shinning sending shockwaves through the coaches ranks. Hey,

856
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 4: you're an employee here, mind your peace, mind your cubes.

857
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 4: I think that's where we are. And you know, never

858
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 4: before would you have seen something like this happen.

859
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.

860
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 4: Never before would you see a Luka Doncic, that caliber player,

861
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 4: first time first NBA, first All NBA team five years

862
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 4: in a row, be traded in the.

863
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 3: Middle of the season, middle of the year.

864
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 2: What right to a contending team, not even just a

865
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 2: contending in.

866
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 3: Your in your division, your conference?

867
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 2: What are you doing the team, the team, the franchise

868
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 2: that the rest of the world looks at and says,

869
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 2: why do they believe like that they're entitled to every.

870
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 3: Star, every single one, And.

871
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: Then poof, now you've got Luca.

872
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 4: Luca and they will have him for the next however

873
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 4: long Luca decides to play basketball.

874
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably probably. I mean, you know my take, I

875
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 2: don't think he measures up from an entertainment standpoint, but

876
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 2: that that's neither here nor there.

877
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 4: But you have you been to the games when Luca

878
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 4: had been playing. It is entertaining and they are loving it.

879
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're they're a good team this year.

880
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 4: But that's what no, no, no, what I'm saying is

881
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 4: they love it, that step back and all of it.

882
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 4: They love all every single piece of.

883
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 2: You because they're good and Lebron is still there again. Okay.

884
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: My whole take was, what is this going to look

885
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 2: like in two years?

886
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 4: They'll guess what, There'll be someone else coming up alongside.

887
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 4: They're coming. They're coming to La to play with Luca.

888
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 4: They're coming, my man. I know they're not going to

889
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 4: go to state.

890
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: You know, every Laker fan thinks that that's how they're coming.

891
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 2: Try me watch listen. I have conversations. I had dinner

892
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 2: with Jeannie Bossworths. He sat there and said, we're looking

893
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 2: for our star, but I haven't been able.

894
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 3: To find him.

895
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 4: Well yeah maybe maybe maybe yeah really maybe does he

896
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 4: don't do that?

897
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 3: Don't do that. When I was in in Dallas.

898
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 2: I thought he had to win yet like that. We're

899
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 2: not in Texas. This is the Lakers. I'm not questioning

900
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 2: his stardom. I'm questioning whether.

901
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 3: Or not he can win.

902
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 2: Okay, and I'm questioning it. Okay, I know that you're

903
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 2: I know you're done.

904
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 3: I'm not done.

905
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 2: Like it's not done. No, no, no, I checked his hands.

906
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 2: There's still more rings on him.

907
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm not.

908
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 4: What I'm telling you is, we don't have to ask

909
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 4: ourselves what are the Lakers going to do?

910
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 3: Post Lebron? We'd have the answer.

911
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 2: No, you have one of the answers. Well, that's that

912
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna need multiple answers.

913
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, but you don't get to multiple before you

914
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 4: get to singular correct correct?

915
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 2: Can Luke could be a one on a title winning team?

916
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm still not convinced. Can I say that?

917
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 3: Of course?

918
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 2: Okay, of course I'm saying of course. The only thing

919
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying that's it. You know, I don't know that.

920
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 4: What are the What are the Warriors gonna do? Post Steph?

921
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 4: That's a better question.

922
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: Not a better question right now that they like.

923
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 3: Is it Jimmy Butler's team? And what are they the

924
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 3: same age.

925
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 2: He's gonna be I mean he's two years younger, but no,

926
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be Jimmy Butler's team.

927
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 4: All right, that's the better. That's a better that is

928
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 4: at right. But that's a better question because when Steph goes,

929
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 4: dra goes uh yeah, and Steve K and Steve Kerr.

930
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 4: So now that that, to me, is it a better

931
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 4: question than what the what are the Lakers going to

932
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 4: do post Lebron because we have an answer to that,

933

Speaker 4: are part of an answer to that.

934
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm not going to argue that, But I'm also not

935
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 2: gonna These aren't similar brands or situations. That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3: What Aaron does?

970
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 2: Why? Why why are we still doing this?

971
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 3: He does what he does, man.

972
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 2: But someone needs to explain to me why the world

973
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 2: lets him.

974
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 3: Do it because he has four MVPs.

975
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 4: Not a lot of people walking around, bro that has

976
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 4: four MVPs, especially, not a lot of Well, there's no

977
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 4: one playing.

978
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 2: Right, But when was the most recent one?

979
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 3: Two years ago? Three years ago?

980
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, play twenty one? Four years ago?

981
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

982
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean the man is out there practicing with DK Metcalf.

983
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: By the way, DK, what are you doing out there

984
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 2: stirring the damn pot. Those guys know exactly what they're doing,

985
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: and if they don't know what they're doing, then they

986
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: would have told the cameras to stay the hell out,

987
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 2: but they didn't. Come on, man, what are you doing?

988
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: I thought this was the Steelers. I thought the Steelers

989
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 2: were about grit. I thought that was Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

990
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: like literally their name steel town. This is blue collar.

991
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 2: This has run the ball, this is weather, this is

992
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 2: rush the passer. This is the Pittsburgh Steelers. You're gonna

993
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 2: do this, You're gonna do Aaron Rodgers is practicing with

994
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 2: our new fancy flashy receiver. He not on the team yet.

995
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 2: We talk to him about being on it. Not on

996
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 2: the team yet, but he's out there practicing with our

997
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: brand new receiver. Neither of them have ever played a

998
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: game for the Steelers, so they no know the first

999
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: thing about that organization, that city, that team. This is

1000
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 2: and the Steelers are cruising along with this. Hey what

1001
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 2: are we doing a from?

1002
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 4: Well, you can ask yourself. I mean, at this point

1003
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 4: does it even matter? Because what have the Stealers been

1004
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 4: doing for the last how long?

1005
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: Now? Well, I don't know how you want me to

1006
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: answer that. Make the playoffs, but they're not doing anything with.

1007
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 4: It, right, So the Stealers aren't a team, you know,

1008
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 4: steep in tradition of not winning championships. They're championship caliber organization,

1009
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 4: a franchise, and they haven't been able to capture that

1010
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 4: in quite some time. So they're going to step out

1011
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 4: of their comfort zone and try to address the question

1012
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 4: that they've had since been Roethlisberger retired and you know,

1013
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 4: in my estimation, retired maybe two years too late, which

1014
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 4: allowed them to continue to be in this hole. So

1015
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 4: they may be stepping out of their own comfort zones

1016
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 4: to try to address something that hasn't gone their way.

1017
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 4: In quite some time. So now they're doing things that

1018
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 4: they normally wouldn't do to see if they can address

1019
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 4: an issue that's been plaguing them.

1020
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 2: And and and this feels like this feels like it

1021
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 2: might have legs. This might be the fix.

1022
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's the fix, but I you know,

1023
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 4: is they haven't had any other fixes.

1024
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, but and they've gone through quite a few quarterback right.

1025
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 2: But I guess what I'm saying is is if even

1026
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 2: if I disagree, and you think that Aaron Rodgers is

1027
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 2: the fix, then sign Aaron Rodgers.

1028
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's an Aaron Rodgers thing. It's it's not

1029
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 3: it's not of them.

1030
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 2: Well, but don't you're allowing yourself to get dragged through this.

1031
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're probably gonna draft a quarterback. Most likely

1032
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 4: if your doer drops, it'll probably be him.

1033
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 3: He just was out there.

1034
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 4: And so they're at a position now where, Okay, they

1035
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 4: gave bought themselves a little bit of time getting Aaron

1036
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 4: Rodgers and having a doer there for a year, that

1037
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 4: to me works. They missed the market on quarterbacks, on

1038
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:35,439
Speaker 4: any other quarterback, so at this point they gotta just you.

1039
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, that market is closed.

1040
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 4: So now you're a position to where it's like, all right, well,

1041
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 4: how do we make the best of a bad situation.

1042
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 2: If I'm the Steelers, I'm looking for a good teammate.

1043
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 2: I'm looking for somebody who fits what we do. I'm

1044
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 2: looking for someone who keeps their head down and makes

1045
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 2: good decisions. I'm looking for someone who can fit this brand.

1046
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm looking for Steve de Seger m perfect. I'm looking

01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 7: Tiger Woods and Jack Nicholas on that list, Gary player

1066
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,000

01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 7: putt and gets the victory. This today was the first

1074
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 7: time he'd had the fifty four hole lead at Augusta

1075
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 7: since twenty eleven, where he closed with an eighty and

1076

Speaker 7: after they barely made the cut on Friday, the playoff

1080

Speaker 7: was over Justin Rose. Can I just mention he's lost

1083
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 7: the NBA. The regular season has ended. All the seeds

1084
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 7: in the East were locked in, so we know Cleveland's No.

1085
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 7: Uber one, Boston's number two, New York number three. By

1086
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 7: the way, regarding the Celtics, they did admit or confirm

1087
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 7: that Jalen Brown got shots in his knee this past week.

1088
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 7: Where they're seated, they are certainly avoiding the play in,

1089
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 7: therefore have more days off. Golden State does not have

1090
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 7: a lot of days off. They're in the play and

1091
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 7: Golden State in overtime lost at home to the Clippers

1092
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 7: one twenty four to one to nineteen, so that drops

1093
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 7: him to seventh in the West. They'll have a play

1094
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 7: in against Memphis, Denver, and Minnesota each one. That Minnesota

1095
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 7: victory was over Utah one sixteen one oh five as

1096
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,840
Speaker 7: Anthony Edwards scored forty three points. It'll be the Lakers

1097
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 7: against Minnesota in a first round playoff series that begins

1098
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,160
Speaker 7: next weekend. In the NHL. Among the nine games, Toronto

1099
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 7: won at Carolina four to one. Currently in progress, Sharks

1100
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 7: Flames two to late second. Kyle Larson was the NASCAR

1101
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 7: winner at Bristol. Kyle Kirkwood took the Long Beach Grand

1102
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 7: Prix all seventeen IndyCar races this year are on Fox,

1103
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 7: including the Fire in late May, season ends in late August,

1104
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 7: and as far as Major League Baseball scores, it's not

1105
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 7: only the Cubs leading in the eighth three to two

1106
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 7: over the Dodgers. Giants got another victory five to four

1107
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 7: at the Yankees today. Giants are not only eleven and

1108
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 7: four overall, They've only lost two games on the road,

1109
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 7: seven and two away from home so far. Blue Jays

1110
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 7: in ten innings want at Baltimore. Victories for the Raisin Royals.

01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,200

01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 2: in the tire dot Com studios. That's e from Salama

1125
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 2: Mark Willard. Okay, hey, what about this Derek Carr thing?

1126
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 2: What what's you know? You you mentioned a second ago

1127
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 2: like the shops closed on off season quarterbacking, and then

1128
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 2: this Derek Carr thing came out of nowhere this week

1129
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 2: that that his season is potentially in doubt and the

1130
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 2: Saints might end up kind of with their proverbial pants down,

1131
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 2: and and you know you mentioned Shador Sanders. Obviously because

1132
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 2: of the name value, this has to be the number

1133
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 2: one story going in to the draft here in a

1134
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 2: little bit less than two weeks is where is that

1135
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 2: kid gonna end up? Is he gonna rise? Is he

1136
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 2: gonna fall? I feel like there's about five teams who

1137
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: could use them, and you can go ahead and add

1138
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 2: the Saints and out of the mix.

1139
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that. I think that Derek carr

1140
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 4: injury really heightened shure is great for Shadur. You know,

1141
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 4: with everyone saying, you know, having you know this and

1142
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 4: that to say about him in terms of is he

1143
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 4: dropping is he not dropping? Is not the worst thing

1144
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 4: that can happen to Shador Sanders. It actually will be

1145
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 4: a really good thing for him if he can get

1146
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 4: to a real franchise with some talent, some direction. I

1147
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 4: think that bowls well for him, uh and his development

1148
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 4: into a professional quarterback, starting NFL quarterback, you know, him

1149
01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 4: jumping right in and starting right off, and that may

1150
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 4: not be the best thing for him in terms of

1151
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 4: his development or the team he goes to. So I

1152
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 4: think this really opens up the door and puts a

1153
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 4: lot of pressure on teams who may thought, may you know,

1154
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 4: we don't have to stretch to get them, because no one,

1155
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 4: I guess in the top ten would be looking at him.

1156
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 3: What the Saints have the six.

1157
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,919
Speaker 2: Let me pull up the let me pull up the

1158
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 2: the draft order. I think that they're in the I

1159
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 2: think that they're in the low teens. Okay nine, nine,

1160
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: okay nine. Yeah, So that's a that's an interesting spot.

1161
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 2: That is that is an interesting spot, yep.

1162
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 4: And if they don't have the answer to the quarterback situation,

1163
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 4: then that is a spot that you know, I can

1164
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 4: see them using on us your door.

1165
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 2: Well, how many teams in the top ten might be

1166
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 2: playing the quarterback game? The Titans off the top, certainly,

1167
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns at number two, certainly a possibility. The

1168
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 2: New York Giants at number three, absolutely a possibility. Then

1169
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 2: it goes Patriots, no Jags, no Raiders, Yes, Jets, sure,

1170
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 2: I think so Panthers. I have no idea. I have

1171
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 2: no idea.

1172
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we really don't know.

1173
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's saying. And then the Saints.

1174
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 2: So you know the way these things could you know

1175
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 2: you mentioned him dropping. I doubt it, I really do.

1176
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 2: I just doubt it. I'll believe it when I see it.

1177
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 2: I agree with you, might be a really good thing

1178
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 2: for him, But that's a lot of teams in the

1179
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 2: first ten picks that could use a quarterback, and I

1180
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 2: just don't think he's gonna make it through that that maze.

1181
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and and look, there's been a lot of

1182
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 4: things said about him and how people feel about him,

1183
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 4: not just you know, football wise, in terms of his personality,

1184
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 4: how he acts and all of that, which is you know,

1185
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 4: that's neither here nor there. There's also a lot of

1186
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:59,799
Speaker 4: smoke screening going on, teams not trying to tip their hand.

1187
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:01,720
Speaker 2: Sure, so.

1188
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 4: You never know until that till the day happens and

1189
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 4: the names start getting called. Is he an NFL quarterback?

1190
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely is he uh gonna have a long prolific I

1191
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 4: couldn't say that about anybody getting drafted.

1192
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 3: You just don't know, No, you don't know.

1193
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 4: But he comes from good stock, he comes from good pedigree,

1194
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 4: and he's been around it his whole life. So if

1195
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 4: you put if you, if you put value in those things,

1196
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 4: then yeah, I would value shaduur as A as a

1197
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:39,919
Speaker 4: as my franchise quarterback.

1198
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 2: M lots to get to back in the NBA with

1199
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 2: the matchups all set. Of course, none of what we

1200
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 2: say really matters because apparently the Lakers have already won the.

1201
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 3: Champions get it out of here.

1202
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I don't even really, I don't even Well, no,

1203
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 2: I do want to like, where is the bump in

1204
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 2: the road, because geez, like, like the Wolves sure aren't it,

1205
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 2: and hell, the Warriors, there's a scenario that that's their

1206
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 2: second round opponent. But you've already said that, boy, you like,

1207
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 2: you respect them so much, it's so terrible that the

1208
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 2: Lakers are just gonna turn them into food. So you know, like,

1209
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: I'd like to know where you actually see the bumps

Speaker 2: We'll do that here in just a little bit. But

1235
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 2: back to Rory winning the Masters and the NBA Playoffs

1236
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 2: all set. I'll tell you we spend an an ordinate

1237
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 2: amount of time on the Western Conference because what it

1238
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 2: has given us this year is really the best of stuff.

1239
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 2: I do think from it's likely that only one of

1240
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 2: the four series is kind of obvious. If the Warriors

1241
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 2: win Tuesday Night, one of the series is kind of obvious.

1242
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 2: I do not think that Memphis, Sacramento, or Dallas can

1243
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 2: scare Oklahoma City at all, but the other three are

1244
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 2: all super intriguing. Meantime, the other conference has set itself

1245
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 2: up to be the most boring thing that the NBA

1246
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 2: has ever had to offer in the history of our lives.

1247
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 4: On about anything happening in the Eastern Conference.

1248
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 2: If Cleveland and Boston don't play in the conference finals,

1249
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: I'd be shocked, shocked. So we're just wasting time for

1250
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 2: two rounds in the Eastern Conference. As far as I'm.

1251
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 3: Concerned, it's it's the action's always been in the West.

1252
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 3: Let's be honest, for sure.

1253
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 2: For sure. Well not always, no, I mean, you know

1254
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Michael Joey, Oh, well you know what I mean. When

1255
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 2: the Bulls are playing the Pistons or whatever, that.

1256
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 4: Was, Yes, that was that was the thing. Yeah, that

1257
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 4: that was and that was great. But we haven't been

1258
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 4: there in quite some time.

1259
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 2: It's been a minute.

1260
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 4: Historically, teams in the Eastern Conference would make the playoffs

1261
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,160
Speaker 4: below five hundred and that was a rarity in the West.

1262
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 4: That's how competitive the West is.

1263
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 3: And so.

1264
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 4: No one has talked about we haven't talked about what's

1265
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 4: happening in the East because I don't think anyone cares.

1266
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 3: There's outside of the fans.

1267
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 2: Over I think outside of Cleveland and Boston, and even

1268
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 2: they are kind of yawny, Like Cleveland is interesting. Boston

1269
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,640
Speaker 2: is that they're they're right, they're the champs and like

1270
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 2: you expect them to be there and and certainly they

1271
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 2: need to be dealt with and all of that. So

1272
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 2: there's no shade at Boston. But there's very very few

1273
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 2: other things in the Eastern Conference that I even find interesting.

1274
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, like does anything Atlanta play in or anything? Does that?

1275
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:08,599
Speaker 3: Does that move you?

1276
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 2: No?

1277
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:10,760
Speaker 3: Indiana? Does that? Does that?

1278
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 2: Nope? Nope, and they and they won fifty games. Right,

1279
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 2: that's actually a quality team. But no, there's you want

1280
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 2: to know what moves me in the East, Here's what

1281
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: moves me in the East. I think the Pistons are

1282
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 2: super interesting, young up and coming team. They're nowhere near

1283
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 2: ready yet.

1284
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 3: No, they won what twenty eight or was it there

1285
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 3: were forty four games? No? No, last year? Last year?

1286
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 2: Oh right, So like I think they're getting game someone. Yeah,

1287
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 2: and you mentioned Bickerstaff. Like, I think they're interesting. I

1288
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 2: think Kate Cunningham has the look of an NBA one,

1289
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 2: like a true NBA one. I like that.

1290
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 4: Go ahead, you said the name Kate Cunningham. Yeah, and

1291
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 4: you remember what we were talking about last year, I

1292
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 4: mean last week excuse me, Yeah about you know, dynamic

1293
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 4: college players coming out and going to teams where they

1294
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:06,680
Speaker 4: could just disappear. Right, that's what's been happening to Kate

1295
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 4: Cunninghen for cunning him for four years.

1296
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 2: Yep, yep. And I know he was hurt, he missed

1297
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 2: a year.

1298
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 4: Tremendous player I'm telling about has all of it. No

1299
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 4: one knows, No one cares, yep, no one knows, No

1300
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 4: one cares. And that's that is that drawback, that is

1301
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 4: that you can come out of college and disappear and

1302
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 4: not play relevant basketball games for two, three four years.

1303
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely when the next new shiny toys coming out.

1304
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 2: Of college, I mean this is there's a little bit

1305
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 2: of a mini opportunity right now. Again, I don't think

1306
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,719
Speaker 2: they're ready for it. But like, he stands to play

1307
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 2: New York and Boston in back to back series if

1308
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 2: he were to win the first series, if the Pistons

1309
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 2: were to win by so they get the Knicks. That's

1310
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 2: high profile. That team has got a little bit of

1311
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 2: interest around it. They're weird, they're they're kind of d

1312
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,719
Speaker 2: but like not top heavy enough. But whatever, Brunson's gonna

1313
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 2: come back. It's a solid team. But if the Pistons

1314
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: were to do something there, then they get Boston. If

1315
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 2: they were to put a scare into Boston. Okay, Kate

1316
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 2: Cunningham could actually make a national name for himself, but

1317
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 2: that's all unlikely. I think that they're a year to

1318
01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 2: two years away. And then the other big story that

1319
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: comes out of the East every year in April is

1320
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 2: is Yanni's gonna get mad. That's what we've got is

1321
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 2: Yannis going to get mad because it's just not it's

1322
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 2: not good enough. Whatever's going on in Milwaukee and now

1323
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 2: Lillard is gone for the year and who knows, and

1324
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 2: it just it's good but not good enough? And does

1325
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 2: he want to stay? Does he want to leave? It?

1326
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 2: Right now? That's been an annual thing ever since they

1327
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 2: won a title.

1328
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:58,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not compelled. None of those things made me

1329
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 4: be like ooh right, just it's just not it's it's

1330
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:09,839
Speaker 4: heavy on the West.

1331
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I mean, look at it. If the Warriors

1332
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 2: win on Tuesday Night, you've got, first of all, you've

1333
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 2: got one series where Draymond Green will play Dylan Brooks.

1334
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: You've got another series where Anthony Edwards will play Lebron,

1335
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 2: James and Luca. And then another series where I think

1336
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 2: the most underrated team in the NBA, who's quietly been

1337
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 2: awesome for a month, the Los Angeles Clippers, with a

1338
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 2: healthy Kawhi and James Harden, will go against Jokic and

1339
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 2: the team that fired their coach a week ago.

1340
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,799
Speaker 3: All of that is spelling that must see TV, really

1341
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 3: good stuff.

1342
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 4: Like literally must see TV. Like all of that, I'm like, yes,

1343
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 4: I'm signing.

1344
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 2: Up for that, right And I didn't even mention the

1345
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 2: sixty eight.

1346
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,799
Speaker 3: Win team period period.

1347
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, all right, so much more on that Western

1348
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 2: Conference also known as the NBA, and the college conversation

1349
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 2: is next to.

1350
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1351
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 2: Nowhere near done yet, not at all. NBA has got

1352
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 2: too much to offer. Rory wins, the Masters Sports Day

1353
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 2: kind of done with the Cubs victory over the Dodgers

1354
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 2: just moments ago. We're all over all of it, broadcasting

1359
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:41,000
Speaker 2: All right, I really want your your thoughts on this,

1360
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 2: and then soon enough we can work our way back

1361
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 2: to let's stop calling at the NBA the Western Conference.

1362
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,919
Speaker 2: We work our way back to the Western Conference here shortly.

1363
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 2: But you're such a big college sports fan, the tournament

1364
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 2: is always a big thing for you. The reason success

1365
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 2: of San Diego State is very near and dear to

1366
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 2: your heart. And we just watched the tournament where a

1367
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 2: point that you and many others had which is that

1368
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 2: nil has ended Cinderella in the March Madness brackets, and

1369
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 2: maybe that has a little bit to do with why

1370
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 2: all four to one seeds ended up in the final four,

1371
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 2: and then you had very very close games and obviously

1372
01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 2: the champion was determined by you know how things go

1373
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 2: on like the last couple of possessions seemingly and almost

1374
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 2: in all three games, so very very top heavy, very

1375
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 2: very close when you get to the top. Let's zoom

1376
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:57,600
Speaker 2: out a little bit further from nil to conference realignment.

1377
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 2: We're watching both players on an annual basis say okay,

1378
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 2: I'm out, I'm moving on to a different school. We're

1379
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 2: watching teams almost cut players. And I know that's happened

1380
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 2: longer than people want to admit, but almost cut players

1381
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 2: like you see in the pros when they don't want

1382
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:19,680
Speaker 2: that person to, for instance, be their quarterback anymore the

1383
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 2: following year. And I just I wonder how you feel

1384
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 2: about the college sports fan experience. I grew up and

1385
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 2: still live in a pro sports town. It's the way

1386
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:40,599
Speaker 2: the San Francisco Bay Area operates, even more so now

1387
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 2: that Callen Stanford play in the Are you serious acced?

1388
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 2: What what are you like? I don't know, man. I

1389
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 2: just sort of like the tournament ended with all the

1390
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 2: one seeds and there's Florida and Houston running around with

1391
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 2: let's be real, next to nobody that anybody's heard of,

1392
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 2: and I just kind of like, I don't know, dude,

1393
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 2: I feel lost. I feel really lost. I don't know

1394
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 2: what the hell I'm supposed to sing my teeth into anymore.

1395
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 4: There's not a lot to sink your teeth in. And too,

1396
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 4: I think moving forward, we're going to see more and

1397
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 4: more times that all four to one seeds make it

1398
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:36,640
Speaker 4: to the final four. It's the second time ever that

1399
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 4: it's happened. I think those days are over because they

1400
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 4: can afford the players. So every good player of the

1401
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 4: year from a mid major are a graduate student from

1402
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 4: a mid major who was averaging sixteen points in eight

1403
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 4: bound and and all of those all of those things

1404
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 4: are now going to leave those It's already happening. I mean,

1405
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 4: the portal was wide open right now, and guys have

1406
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:15,840
Speaker 4: jumped in it and and left, and you know there

1407
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 4: are two options now. It's when it only used to

1408
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 4: be one where you would you would try your hand

1409
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 4: at the end NBA and see what the evaluation was.

1410
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:31,200
Speaker 4: Now it's guys are doing that as well as entering

1411
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 4: into the the the transfer portal. And with n I

1412
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 4: l's the way it is, Uh, the rich will continue

1413
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 4: to get richer and the poor will be poor. And

1414
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 4: I think it's a travesty for for basketball. I'm okay, Look,

1415
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 4: you can't have it two ways, but two things can

1416
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 4: can you know? Can be right? I think the players

1417
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 4: deserve the money, yeph. And on the other end of that,

1418
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 4: I think it hurts the universities. They can't afford to

1419
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 4: play good players that money that they deserve. And so

1420
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 4: now you have a situation where there'll be more and

1421
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 4: more once he eats populating the final four, because those

1422
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 4: are the ones with the budgets.

1423
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 3: Man, I mean like takes a little bit.

1424
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 4: Of a mystique, oh god, away from the tournament.

1425
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 3: And we felt that this year.

1426
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 2: And what is college sports without mystique? I mean we're

1427
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 2: out here. Like take the Lakers we've talked so much

1428
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 2: about as your example. The Lakers are in like the

1429
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 2: entertainment capital of the world. They're a massive brand. The

1430
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:46,759
Speaker 2: organization is worth billions upon billions upon billions of dollars.

1431
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 2: The recognizability, the traffic that leads up to that arena

1432
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 2: from every direction, second to none. Okay, yeah, meantime, what

1433
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: do we usually love to fall in love with with

1434
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 2: college sports? Oh? Game day is in the middle of nowhere.

1435
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 2: We're in Happy Valley this week, bing bing bing bing

1436
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 2: bing bing bing bing bing. It's gone, dude, it's gone.

1437
01:26:16,760 --> 01:26:21,720
Speaker 2: It's gone. And and so the mid major is left.

1438
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 2: The school that's a true D one school but not

1439
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 2: a power is just spinning in space. Like I just

1440
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 2: mentioned Callen Stanford, What are we doing? Wake Forrest is

1441
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:40,759
Speaker 2: supposed to be their rival now or something like. Nobody

1442
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:45,480
Speaker 2: even knows what the hell conference anybody's in anymore unless

1443
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 2: it's like your team and you really follow it and

1444
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 2: you're tapped in, and that's fine. I got nothing but

1445
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 2: love for that. But I even look like this is

1446
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 2: me because I'm not born and bred a college sports fan,

1447
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 2: like I said, pro sports town. But I got so

1448
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 2: many friends, whether it be that they're from somewhere else

1449
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 2: or the school they went to, and I can look

1450
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 2: in their eyes and they'll never admit it. They're dead inside.

1451
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 2: They're dead inside. Like my technical director and my producer

1452
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,000
Speaker 2: on my weekday show. One of them went to USC

1453
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 2: and the other one went to Oregon, and they act

1454
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 2: like they are still diehards, and they would tell you

1455
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 2: that they are, but they're dead inside. They have no

1456
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,759
Speaker 2: idea what the hell's going on anymore. You just you can't.

1457
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 2: You can't tell me that when Oregon's playing Michigan State

1458
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 2: on a Saturday you're like, yeah, man, this feels right. No,

1459
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:51,400
Speaker 2: it just doesn't. The whole thing has completely lost its way.

1460
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 2: And if I sound like an old fart, fine, I

1461
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 2: don't know what that like. Dude, I don't even know

1462
01:27:58,840 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 2: what I'm watching anymore.

1463
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 4: Well, the only the only way sports are entertaining really

1464
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 4: to the masses if there's stakes and tradition.

1465
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 2: And when you take the college sports has tradition.

1466
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 4: And when you take those away, then you're left with

1467
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 4: just a game. You just left with a game with

1468
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 4: half the people not caring about the outcome. And that's

1469
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 4: the sad part. Yeah, it's just another game.

1470
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's there's two things. And that's why

1471
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 2: I use that phrase, like what am I supposed to

1472
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 2: sink my teeth into? There's two things that through the years,

1473
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 2: I think a college fan would be able to sink

1474
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 2: their teeth into. And it's one. You have a player

1475
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 2: or group of players that go on a three or

1476
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 2: four year ride with you.

1477
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 3: That's one the best, right, the best.

1478
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 2: Right, Like, there is some recognition there, there's some stability there,

1479
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 2: there's a journey, there's a story, as you know, we

1480
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 2: love storytelling. That's all there. So that's one and then

1481
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: the other's tradition. The tradition like we play this team

1482
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: on this Saturday, and we played this song, and we

1483
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 2: play for this plaque or what it like that. Yes,

1484
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 2: that's what college sports has to offer, and people want

1485
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 2: to know what it is on a year and in

1486
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 2: year out basis, like people will you'll be fifty eight

1487
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 2: years old. But every November we go back for our

1488
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: traditional game against whoever, and it's like, dude, it's all dead.

1489
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 2: It dead. I don't know who the hell plays for?

1490
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 2: Who I know when they announce that they're leaving, and

1491
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 2: then I probably never hear about it again. And then

1492
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 2: they just show up somewhere else. And a team will

1493
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 2: end one year in one conference and then they just

1494
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 2: show up somewhere else. The whole thing is like teenagers

1495
01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:01,800
Speaker 2: after midnight, Where the hell are y'all gone? I can't

1496
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 2: keep tracking anymore. I need an app that sticks these

1497
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,679
Speaker 2: little people on a phone like it does with my kids,

1498
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 2: so I can like where are you? Who are you?

1499
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 2: So again? I don't care if this makes me sound old.

1500
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 2: I just like, you know how when people turn eighty

1501
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:22,600
Speaker 2: and they're always calling me. I don't know how to

1502
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 2: turn this thing on anymore, Like how do I get

1503
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 2: my apps all streaming? I don't. I don't know what

1504
01:30:29,160 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm watching. I just don't. I don't even know what

1505
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 2: I'm watching anymore. It's just a uniform. Super super sad

1506
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 2: to me. It's super sad to me.

1507
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,879
Speaker 3: No one's paying playing for the old goat hoof anymore.

1508
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 2: Like what I don't even you know what I mean?

1509
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:50,360
Speaker 3: Like where did that all go? It's gone?

1510
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 2: Money money, money, and I and I and I'm I'm

1511
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 2: with you, like I can't not support that playing the

1512
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 2: players were getting taking advantage of for years your money.

1513
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 2: But I don't know, dude, did it need to did

1514
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 2: it need to go? Like this?

1515
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 4: You know that pendulum, man, that thing you can't control

1516
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 4: the swing. No, you can't control the swing on that thing.

1517
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 4: It's gonna go, It's going wild. It's gonna swing and

1518
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:21,240
Speaker 4: it's gonna swing hard.

1519
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 2: Like like for one seeds making it. You know, you

1520
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 2: and I talked about it. I'm like, this is it

1521
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,600
Speaker 2: and they were, they're like close games. I felt like

1522
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 2: there was a measure of high level stuff that I

1523
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 2: was watching.

1524
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:38,759
Speaker 4: Every single one of those teams had a player from

1525
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 4: another conference, yep, who had experience in the tournament and

1526
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 4: who you know.

1527
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 3: It happens. That's that's just what that's what it is. Now.

1528
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 4: So guys aren't even playing for their schools that they're

1529
01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:03,640
Speaker 4: currently on. They're playing for their salary or their increased

1530
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:05,679
Speaker 4: money in the portal.

1531
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 3: That's the whole point of it.

1532
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:10,719
Speaker 2: Seriously, No, like half the players, you're like, oh, when'd

1533
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 2: you get him? Did you? Is he on the mid

1534
01:32:12,320 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 2: level exception? Like, how the hell did he end up there?

1535
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,360

1536
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 2: was a soul. Yeah, that's what I That's what I

Speaker 2: brunt of that. We don't get a chance to experience.

1540
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:38,680
Speaker 2: What we loved about the tournament, which was the Cinderella

1541
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 2: story is really the bread and butter of the NCAA tournament.

1542
01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:46,200

Speaker 3: Kings win that game.

1585
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Friday Night, Kings at Grizzlies. Who wins that game?

1586
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 2: Grizzlies win that game. Okay, Grizzlies the eighth seed, they

1587
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 2: get the Thunder. Thunder versus Grizzlies.

1588
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:23,720
Speaker 4: Uh, it goes to games, it goes six games, it

1589
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 4: goes six games, and the Thunder win.

1590
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,480
Speaker 2: I'm tempted to call that a sweet but okay.

1591
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I think, uh, the the you know,

1592
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 4: Jaron Jackson and and and Baine and and jah, their

1593
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 4: their their game. They're gonna make it. They gonna they're

1594
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 4: gonna make it. You know it's gonna be a brew.

1595
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:53,679
Speaker 2: Okay, but you got Thunder in the round two. Let's

1596
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 2: figure out their opponent, the Nuggets hosting the Clippers.

1597
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 4: This game goes seven, okay, series goes seven, and and

1598
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 4: it's the Denver Nuggets, the.

1599
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets, Denver. So we're gonna put the Thunder versus

1600
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 2: the Nuggets in one conference semi final. Yes, all right,

1601
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 2: Warriors versus Rockets. What happens in that series?

1602
01:36:19,080 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 4: I think it goes seven, and I think Golden State

1603
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 4: comes out of there.

1604
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,840
Speaker 2: Okay, the Golden State Warriors and another seven game series.

1605
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 2: Will move on and then the Lakers will be hosting

1606
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:32,640
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves. I assume that's a three and a

1607
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 2: half game series.

1608
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's a six game series. Lakers taking.

1609
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 2: All right, Lakers move on, all right. So the bracket

1610
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 2: is chalky except for the Warriors. You have the one,

1611
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 2: the three, the four, and the seven. Okay, Oklahoma City

1612
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:51,719
Speaker 2: versus the Denver Nuggets. What happens there?

1613
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 3: I'm taking I'm taking the Denver Nuggets.

1614
01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 4: You're just rooting man, No, no, no, no, I'm serious.

1615
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:01,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

1616
01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:05,280
Speaker 4: Why because is a problem in the playoff no doubt.

1617
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 4: I say that Jamal Murray's back.

1618
01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 3: Now.

1619
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:12,519
Speaker 4: Their size, their size when you get into a playoff

1620
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 4: series against them, their size is imposing.

1621
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 3: They have the best player in basketball now.

1622
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 4: I'm not going to take anything away from Shaye and

1623
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 4: and and him being the MVP this year, which he

1624
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 4: probably will be, But when it comes down to it

1625
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 4: in a playoff series, like Shay can't afford on that

1626
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:34,639
Speaker 4: team to not be on.

1627
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 3: He can't afford not to be on.

1628
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 4: The One thing we know for sure in a playoff

1629
01:37:41,479 --> 01:37:44,879
Speaker 4: series who's going to be on is Nicola Jokic because

1630
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,719
Speaker 4: he does it in a way that if he needs

1631
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 4: to take you down low, he can take you down low.

1632
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:53,000
Speaker 4: He has a little flip hook shot. You have to

1633
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,560
Speaker 4: guard him out. He runs the point, he gets everybody

1634
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 4: else involved. This man average a triple double the entire year,

1635
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 4: high level triple double, not ten, ten and ten, and

1636
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 4: so in a playoff series when you don't have an

1637
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,200
Speaker 4: answer for them, who does?

1638
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 3: Okay, see have.

1639
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 4: For him Hartenstid. That's not gonna happen. He's going to

1640
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,759
Speaker 4: be in foul trouble the majority of the series.

1641
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 2: I say so.

1642
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 4: Coming down the stretch, I'm saying Denver over. Okay, see

1643
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 4: in seven games?

1644
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:31,080
Speaker 2: Okay in seven another seven games series?

1645
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, because these are battles. Now, that's the thing about

1646
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:33,759
Speaker 3: the West.

1647
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:38,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So you've got the Nuggets making the Conference five. Yes,

1648
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:41,160
Speaker 2: will they be hosting or will they be on the road.

1649
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,680
Speaker 2: Take me through the Lakers versus Warriors.

1650
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 4: Round two series, Lakers versus the Warriors. I think this

1651
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 4: goes six games, I really do. But all in all,

1652
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:58,960
Speaker 4: I think the Lakers prevail because they really match up

1653
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:03,880
Speaker 4: well with with it with Golden State, Like neither one

1654
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:08,519
Speaker 4: of them really have size. They have dynamic shot makers.

1655
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 4: But the one thing and I love Jimmy Butler. I

1656
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,559
Speaker 4: love what he brings to that team because Steph can

1657
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 4: actually go sit down and be okay and playoff. Jimmy

1658
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 4: is a real thing. We saw a little flashes of

1659
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 4: that today. It didn't work out in their favor, but

1660
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 4: I think just the Lakers did just have too much.

1661
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 3: Man.

1662
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:32,759
Speaker 4: They have tremendous wing defenders and they have two guys,

1663
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:36,839
Speaker 4: three guys. Actually, we got to start putting some respect

1664
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 4: on Austin Reeves name ar fifteen. Who can they can

1665
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 4: all three can go get their own shot. And that's

1666
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 4: tough to that's tough to stop.

1667
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:46,559
Speaker 2: Hey did you see that? And I know the guys

1668
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,599
Speaker 2: got it there in the back? I think like, did

1669
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 2: you see that comment from Austin Reeves that he and

1670
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 2: Lebron don't like each other?

1671
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 3: Really?

1672
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 2: Did you see?

1673
01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 3: And I couldn't tell, Oh, it's not it's not really.

1674
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, didn't look not serious. No, but it didn't

1675
01:40:03,160 --> 01:40:06,639
Speaker 2: look not real like. It wasn't dramatic, which is kind

1676
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 2: of why like put it this way. If he was joking,

1677
01:40:10,920 --> 01:40:17,759
Speaker 2: it was the driest I know. Do we have it, Mary,

1678
01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 2: do we have it? Do we have Austin Reeves doing

1679
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 2: the interview the other night. Uh, if we do, let

1680
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 2: me know. If not, we can we can get it

1681
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,080
Speaker 2: a little bit left you do, Okay, check this out.

1682
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:30,479
Speaker 2: Listen to what Austin Reeves has to say.

1683
01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:32,880
Speaker 5: What were you and Lebron getting into on the bench

1684
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 5: there seems like you were having some fun.

1685
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 9: We were getting into it. We don't really like each other.

1686
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:39,600
Speaker 9: We deal with each other just because of basketball, but

1687
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:43,840
Speaker 9: other than that, friendship is not that good. But we

1688
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:45,600
Speaker 9: did celebrate for a second for not being in the

1689
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 9: play in tournament. So uh, we battled through those days

1690
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 9: last year and the year before, and now we were,

1691
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 9: like you said, we secured that third seed, so we're

1692
01:40:54,320 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 9: you know, super excited to you know, for the play.

1693
01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 2: Close is okay? And then half then he left the

1694
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:04,599
Speaker 2: interview and said everybody watched the Masters like he's a

1695
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:08,599
Speaker 2: big golf fan. It just was like, again, I didn't

1696
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 2: get any drama out of it, but I.

1697
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:15,600
Speaker 4: Was like, everybody knows how much uh Lebron James revers

1698
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:19,800
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves. That's why that's why it's funny, because everybody

1699
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 4: knows their relationship, and so every everybody does. I mean,

1700
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 4: the internet is full of you know, come on, now,

1701
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 4: he's a great player. Yeah, no, no, no, What I'm

1702
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 4: saying is no one has been a champion for Austin

1703
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,680
Speaker 4: Reeves more so than Lebron James.

1704
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 3: Period. That's just how that's how it's been.

1705
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 4: And then shout out to Austin Reeves from working the

1706
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:45,839
Speaker 4: way he's been able to work and to get himself

1707
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 4: into an All Star caliber player, because he is an

1708
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 4: All Star caliber player.

1709
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:52,919
Speaker 3: That's why I think.

1710
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:58,120
Speaker 4: The Lakers have a good They have three like legitimate

1711
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 4: all stars who all can get their own shot and

1712
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:02,360
Speaker 4: can can handle the ball.

1713
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:04,600

1725
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:38,200
Speaker 2: Who are they playing in the finals?

1726
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:43,520
Speaker 3: Cares? No one cares about the Celtics cares.

1727
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 2: About the Lakers and Celtics and the you know what.

1728
01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 4: I'm saying, the East, but the world would care about

1729
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:50,320
Speaker 4: the Lakers and Celtics.

1730
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 3: That's what you wanted to be.

1731
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 2: You think it would be easy in the finals?

01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:56,080

1735
01:42:59,439 --> 01:43:02,920
Speaker 2: Got it, and I assume the Lakers would win it.

1736
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,559
Speaker 4: I would hope so, okay, I would really need them

1737
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:09,880
Speaker 4: to for my sanity, inanity of my ten year old

1738
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:13,599
Speaker 4: who cried, Yeah, who cried? Because the Celtics have eighteen

1739
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 4: championships and the Lakers have seventeen.

1740
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 2: You know, do you know what I've noticed whenever a

1741
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:21,639
Speaker 2: child is crying, do you know what makes it stop?

1742
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 3: Huh?

1743
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger, Oh, it turns out, it turns out. Yeah, yeah,

1744
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 2: he just yeah, he just cradles him for about a

1745
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 2: thirty seconds, everything goes away.

1746
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 6: My guess was Candy, but I went.

1747
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:37,639
Speaker 2: I went with Steve Seger.

1748
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:40,400
Speaker 7: By the way, if only the Lakers had Ephraim and

1749
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 7: the paint on defense, I would feel a little more

1750
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 7: talk what about the postseason, we will get to the

1751
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 7: rory McElroy victory. In a minute, did you see the

1752
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:51,640
Speaker 7: stat that now that everything's set for the postseason schedule,

1753
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 7: Lebron James will be facing now a twenty fourth different

1754
01:43:56,160 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 7: team in his playoff career. He's never faced the Lakers

1755
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,959
Speaker 7: or Cleveland, has never had a playoff series yet against

1756
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,639
Speaker 7: the Clippers or Sacramento or the Jazz Repelicans, but pretty

1757
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,519
Speaker 7: much everybody else now now that they're going to have

1758
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 7: a best of seven starting next weekend against Minnesota, which

1759
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 7: got forty three points from Anthony Edwards and their season

1760
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 7: finale win against Utah. Minnesota finished sixth in the West,

1761
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 7: could have been as low as eighth with a loss.

1762
01:44:22,920 --> 01:44:25,439

Speaker 7: They'll be hosting a playing game late Tuesday against Memphis.

1773

01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 7: for the Giants and for the Blue Jays, who won

1796
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:14,040
Speaker 7: in ten at Baltimore and Yes, Rory McElroy now has

1797
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 7: completed the career Grand Slam. Today was his first major

1798
01:46:18,160 --> 01:46:21,160
Speaker 7: win since twenty fourteen. He took the Masters in a

1799
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,160
Speaker 7: playoff over Justin Rose. He had missed a short put

1800
01:46:24,240 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 7: McElroy on the eighteenth that would have won it then,

1801
01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:29,719
Speaker 7: but he did burdie the same hole in the playoff

1802
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 7: for the victory. Patrick Reid finished in third place, two

1803
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,840
Speaker 7: shots back McElroy in the final round quickly blew a

1804
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 7: two stroke lead. But did you know that he set

1805
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 7: a Master's record this weekend, the first champion there to

1806
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 7: make four double bogies. He had two in the first round.

1807
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:48,880
Speaker 7: He was seven shots behind early in this tournament, had

1808
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 7: two in the final round. It made it closer than

1809
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:55,240
Speaker 7: he imagined. He does get the victory, and in fact,

1810
01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:57,960
Speaker 7: the US Open champion from last summer, Bryson de Shamba,

1811
01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:01,400
Speaker 7: who beat McElroy last June, had the lead after just

1812
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 7: two holes today when McElroy opened with a double bogie

1813
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 7: as it turns out, deshambo three two three puts, I

1814
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 7: should say, and two shots into the water on the

1815
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 7: back nine. He closed with a seventy five. So McElroy

1816
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 7: gets his third tournament win this year. He now has

1817
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 7: forty titles worldwide. This was his eleventh attempt at getting

1818
01:47:23,200 --> 01:47:27,559
Speaker 7: the career slat this there's this is unprecedented, the longest

1819
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 7: of any of the previous players who is going for Yeah,

1820
01:47:31,240 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 7: I've won all four majors. Now, that was three attempts

1821
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:36,519
Speaker 7: to get that fourth leg, as it were. Next up

1822
01:47:36,560 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 7: the PGA Championship, which will be at Quail Hollow, which

1823
01:47:39,400 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 7: some have pointed out McElroy's already won at that place

1824
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 7: four times.

1825
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 6: We will see.

1826
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 7: The Masters had announced this week that it would be a

1827
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,240
Speaker 7: record purse divided among the fifty three golfers who made

1828
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:53,679
Speaker 7: the cut at Augusta. The purse total twenty one million dollars.

1829
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:55,719
Speaker 7: I don't know how many times on this show we've

1830
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 7: mentioned as far as the individual award to the champion

1831
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,760
Speaker 7: of any golf tournament is four million bucks for a

1832
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 7: three day tournament. By the way, finally, the Master's champ

1833
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 7: gets over four million dollars. McElroy gets four point two MILI.

1834
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:13,800
Speaker 7: That's an increase of six hundred thousand dollars from when

1835
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:17,960
Speaker 7: Scotty Scheffler won his green jacket last year. In fact,

1836
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 7: now if you finish top four at Augusta, you're assured

1837
01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 7: of at least a million, which means Scotty Scheffler, who

1838
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,599
Speaker 7: it didn't seem like he was in contention for much

1839
01:48:27,640 --> 01:48:29,479
Speaker 7: of the weekend, is taking home a check for a

1840
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 7: million bucks because he finished fourth. In fact, it's one

1841
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:38,360
Speaker 7: million and eight thousand dollars to be specific. And finishing

1842
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,880
Speaker 7: twelfth is kind of important because if you're twelfth or

1843
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 7: better on this leaderboard, you get an invitation to next

1844
01:48:45,120 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 7: year's Masters, and you also get a nice check. But

1845
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 7: time for twelve and getting nearly a half million dollars,

1846
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:57,680

Speaker 2: Homey is. Do you know that with Rory's four point

1853
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 2: two million or four point three or whatever that Steve

1854
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 2: just reported, what do you think that brings him to

1855
01:49:20,160 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 2: for his career? Like? Right? But yeah, what do you

1856
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:23,920

Speaker 2: Well he became this, Yeah, he became the second player

1860
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 2: to ever reach this plateau. This is just on the course.

1861
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 2: This is not for being in the EA Sports Game

1862
01:49:44,720 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 2: or any of that stuff. Just on the course. He

1863
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 2: became the second player to reach this number. Wait, billion dollars, No,

1864

Speaker 6: hundred one hundred million dollars, one.

1869
01:50:09,240 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 2: Hundred and four point two million dollars. Only Tiger Woods

1870
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 2: has surpassed one hundred million in career earnings before Rory

1871
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 2: becomes the second with today's victory.

1872
01:50:20,120 --> 01:50:21,800
Speaker 7: By the way I looked it up, Max Holma went

1873
01:50:21,840 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 7: to Valencia High School in LA and played golf at cal.

1874
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 2: Thank you, Max Holma. Come on West Coast guy.

1875
01:50:28,360 --> 01:50:28,679
Speaker 3: Great?

1876
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 2: And what's his uh? I wonder what his official golf

1877
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 2: ranking is? Like, this is a good player, man, cool?

1878
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 2: What's your thing? Why are you doing that to Max Holma?

1879
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 4: I don't know him, okay, so I don't have an

1880
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:52,639
Speaker 4: allegiance to him, right, Like, so I'm happy for him.

1881
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:56,800
Speaker 2: Okay, but he's actually only eighty first in the world.

1882
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:59,160
Speaker 6: But yeah, oh he went up today.

1883
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:03,920
Speaker 2: He went out. Yeah, yeah, good player though. It's a

1884
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 2: good player. Did you see him hit a caddy earlier

1885
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 2: this week, Steve, did you see that that? Oh my god,

1886
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:12,720
Speaker 2: it was the best thing ever. Yeah, it was. No,

1887
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 2: it was a terrible break. He was like off in

1888
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:18,360
Speaker 2: the woods and he hit just an unbelievable screamer shot

1889
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:20,559
Speaker 2: and it was headed right up onto the green and

1890
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 2: it went bounce, bouncing right off the butt of a

1891
01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:26,640
Speaker 2: caddy and rolled off the green, and the caddy was hysterical,

1892
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:29,120
Speaker 2: like he just tried to kind of like slimp away,

1893
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:32,479
Speaker 2: like hopefully nobody saw that. I'm like everybody saw that.

1894
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 6: Everybody.

1895
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:36,760
Speaker 2: Everybody saw that. So anyway, it was pretty funny. Yeah,

1896
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:41,360
Speaker 2: all right, well thanks Steve, Thanks Steve. Yeah, I like

1897
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:45,920
Speaker 2: Max Homer. It's a good player. Anyway, we're living the

1898
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 2: tyrack dot com studios.

1899
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:49,160
Speaker 4: And then, look, let me just be clear. I'm not

1900
01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 4: saying Max is not a good player. Okay, I'm not

1901
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 4: saying that at all. Okay, what I'm saying its yeah, no,

1902
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 4: he doesn't know, he doesn't big Q rating spend time. Right,

1903
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:05,920
Speaker 4: we're watching golf every weekend.

1904
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:09,080
Speaker 2: Do you know what I hadn't really been thinking of

1905
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:12,639
Speaker 2: with regard to the Lakers if they are blessed enough

1906
01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:15,680
Speaker 2: to make the NBA Finals this year. Uh, there's a

1907
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:19,720
Speaker 2: little quirky thing that'll that'll happen and we should talk

1908
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:21,600
Speaker 2: about it. We'll do that coming up next with the

1909
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:23,679
Speaker 2: from Salama Mark Willard on Fox Sports Radio.

1910
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,519
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1911
01:52:28,240 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 2: All right, these are the tyrag dot com studios, Mark

1912
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 2: Willardy from salam I'll tell you what if your if

1913
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:37,640
Speaker 2: your prediction comes true and the Los Angeles Lakers do

1914
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:42,280
Speaker 2: make the NBA Finals, and my prediction comes true, which

1915
01:52:42,320 --> 01:52:46,000
Speaker 2: is that there aren't even any candidates to go to

1916
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,000
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals from the Eastern Conference other than Boston

1917
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:53,840
Speaker 2: or Cleveland. Well, then my mind, we're gonna have quite

1918
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:57,320
Speaker 2: a story, aren't we True either way, either way, neither

1919
01:52:57,400 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 2: the Lakers are gonna play the Celtics in the NBA

1920
01:52:59,720 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 2: Finals or lebron against the Cavs. Whoa, come on, man,

1921
01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:08,439
Speaker 2: come whoa? Now, you know a lot of things need

1922
01:53:08,479 --> 01:53:12,919
Speaker 2: to happen. I will tell you if I were cruising

1923
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 2: around at night listening to Fox Sports Radio, and I

1924
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 2: were a big NBA fan, and I lived in Middle America,

1925
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 2: right in the center of our country, I'd be like,

1926
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 2: y'all are tripping sixty eight wins a point deferential of

1927
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 2: twelve point nine. No one in the history of the

1928
01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:39,840
Speaker 2: league has ever put up numbers like that and not

1929
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 2: won the NBA Championship. That's a fact.

1930
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,559
Speaker 3: That's a fact.

1931
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:52,040
Speaker 2: And you don't even have them making the conference finals. Nope,

1932
01:53:52,240 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 2: you might be right. I can't tell you that you're

1933
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:56,759
Speaker 2: wrong today. But I do think when we talk about

1934
01:53:56,760 --> 01:54:01,599
Speaker 2: all this, man, that team gets undersold. I do they

1935
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 2: do that. I do think that.

1936
01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 4: And the only way you can get from under being

1937
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:15,000
Speaker 4: undersold is to win a championship with this year, with

1938
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:20,559
Speaker 4: this team and this record, because no one talks about

1939
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:26,599
Speaker 4: the seventy three and nine Warriors because they didn't win

1940
01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:27,440
Speaker 4: a championship.

1941
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:33,320
Speaker 3: That's the bottom line.

1942
01:54:33,440 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little different because they did win other championships,

1943
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:38,120
Speaker 2: they just didn't win that year. Yeah.

1944
01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:41,280
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is no one talks about that year, right,

1945
01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:45,839
Speaker 4: Like you can't compare that to the to the seventy

1946
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:46,879
Speaker 4: two to ten Bulls.

1947
01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 2: No, No, I think they. I think that year actually

1948
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,800
Speaker 2: gets talked about as the number one example people use

1949
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 2: when they're like, yeah, regular season whatever. Yeah, everybody always

1950
01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:01,400
Speaker 2: does that when you're like, yeah, other season, okay, be

1951
01:55:01,520 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 2: the regular season champs, just like the seventy three win Warriors.

1952
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1953
01:55:04,880 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 4: I mean there's also been you know, top seeds of

1954
01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 4: eights eliminated or the one seed you win sixty five

1955
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:13,320
Speaker 4: games been eliminated for.

1956
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:14,000
Speaker 3: Sure, playoffs?

1957
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, sure, sure, derk Novitski has MVP.

1958
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:17,520
Speaker 3: YEP.

1959
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you what I would think though, if

1960
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:27,000
Speaker 2: I would you know, if we're we're probably on somewhere

1961
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma, and I know we're on the iHeartRadio app,

1962
01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 2: and if I'm in Oklahoma and I listening to US

1963
01:55:32,040 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 2: break down the Western Conference, I'm like, what and the

1964
01:55:35,040 --> 01:55:39,080
Speaker 2: hell are these two dudes talk kind about They just

1965
01:55:39,320 --> 01:55:45,520
Speaker 2: dismissed the living hell out of US sixty eight and fourteen.

1966
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, sounds good. They haven't even been

1967
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 2: trying for about a month.

1968
01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 3: Sounds good. I hope they trying in the playoffs.

1969
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if things go this week the way you

1970
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 2: and I both think they're going to go, I do

1971
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:05,400
Speaker 2: think that they're the only team in the Western Conference

1972
01:56:05,520 --> 01:56:08,360
Speaker 2: that gets I don't want to call I'm not going

1973
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 2: to dismiss these other teams as if it's just a

1974
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:14,080
Speaker 2: freebie series, but I don't find it to be the

1975
01:56:14,080 --> 01:56:17,760
Speaker 2: same level of competition. I do not agree with you

1976
01:56:17,800 --> 01:56:20,880
Speaker 2: that the Memphis if it's the Memphis Grizzlies, I do

1977
01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 2: not think it's a six game series. I think it's

1978
01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:28,320
Speaker 2: less than that. And if it's Sacramento or Dallas, I

1979
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 2: darn well think it's probably a sweet and so I

1980
01:56:32,520 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 2: think that they're going to hit round two more rested

1981
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 2: than whoever they play. Because that that Nuggets Clipper series.

1982
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 3: That's a war. That is that that's a war.

1983
01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 2: That's a war. I think that that one goes goes long.

1984
01:56:49,680 --> 01:56:51,440
Speaker 2: You have the nuggets I have of the Clippers. But

1985
01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:57,720
Speaker 2: for me, that's when Oklahoma City's playoff run actually starts,

1986
01:56:58,320 --> 01:56:59,880
Speaker 2: is when they play the winner of that series.

1987
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:03,000
Speaker 4: I would agree on that that's gonna be.

1988
01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, man, So here we go, Here we go.

1989
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:12,480
Speaker 2: What are you looking forward to most this week?

1990
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 4: I just well, it's spring break for us, so we're

1991
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 4: going on a little vacation.

1992
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:18,960
