Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio tirerac La Studios, Jason and the

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: Nashville Studios. Jason Martin, What is going on tonight? My friend?

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: I know it doesn't happen every week, but what would

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 3: this time slot on Saturday night be without a crucial

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 3: sporting event happening live right in front of us? Because

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: it does seem that more often than not over the

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: past couple of years, we've been just really exactly where

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: you want to be, like right in the Eagles nest

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: during a lot of crucial things that are happening, including

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: right now, tight Game six in the Eastern Conference Finals

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: in the NBA.

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: So off the top of my head, So first of all,

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: for people who are driving around Celtics up sixty two

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: to fifty five. The second half has just started in Miami.

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: Of course, this is Game six. Miami up three to two.

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: Miami was up three to zero. They lost two games

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: in a row. The series is now obviously the Celtics,

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: if they were to win this series would force a

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: game seven. Off the top of my head, Jason, these

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: are some of the things that you and I have

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: been on air for in this time slot, just an

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: unbelievable time slot. Is we're on for Game six tonight.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: We were obviously on for Game three of Lakers Nuggets

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: last week, a game that essentially swung the series and

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: unofficially gave the Denver Nuggets the Western Conference championship. You

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: and Arnie were on during that classic Ohio State Georgia

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: game in the college football playoff. You and I were

35
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: on for that classic Duke Carolina game that ended coach

36
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: K's career. You and I were on when the Packers

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: lost at home to the San Francisco forty nine Ers

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: two years ago.

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 3: In the playoff. Alabama Texas A and.

40
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: M Alabama Texas A and M we were on. Oh,

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: by the way, don't forget for the uh what was

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: it the Chargers blue? What was it a thirty to

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: that's right, something like that. So no, you know, and

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: I've said this many times, is you know people sometimes

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: ask me, oh, you know, is it Saturday nights? You know, family,

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: this this the other thing, you know. One you know,

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: I think I can't speak for you, but but I'm

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: incredibly blessed when my wife gets that this is a

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: job and it's a responsibility, but I think it's a

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: privilege for this exact reason. And I can I can

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: even go back. You know, Arnie and I were on

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: the night that Brady and the Patriots lost to the

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Titans in the playoffs, which was Brady's final game. We

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: were the first ones to react to that some other

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: things as well. So this is just an unbelievable time slot. Jason.

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: I agree with you one thousand percent. It's a privilege

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: to be on these Fox Sports radio airwaves every Saturday

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: night at this time.

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I mean, right now, you've got a really

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: close basketball game, and you've got potential history closer to

61
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: happening than we thought. Right, you had two to three

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: to zero series. No one's ever come back from three

63
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: to zero in the conference finals in the NBA, and

64
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: if Boston wins this game. Just the amount of pressure

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: that's going to be on Miami to go back to

66
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: Boston at that point and stop history from being made

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: is kind of outrageous. But then there's still pressure on Boston.

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: But it's it's so interesting because I've been trying to

69
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: think about watching this game. If you're Boston, you don't

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: have to win four in a row. You just got

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: to win two more because you've won two in a row.

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: Like four sounds like a daunting task, but you've already

73
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: done half of it. And if you look at it,

74
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: and you look at your seating and you look at

75
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: what you were supposed to do and what you have

76
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: done in the past couple of years with very similar guys,

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: I feel like the confidence can come, like you can

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 3: turn on a switch once you get that first one,

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 3: and then you start to feel good about yourself and

80
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: get that second one. Now, all of a sudden, this

81
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: gets very very interesting, and you have to start wondering

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: what's going through the minds of the home team tonight

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: in Miami, because the last thing you want to do

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: is leave it open to have to go to their

85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: building to do something you already had three cracks to do.

86
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: Once and couldn't do.

87
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, it sounds crazy because

88
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: obviously the Celtics are the two seed. They were a

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: team that a lot of people, I know yourself included

90
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: pick to win the NBA Championship. Many picked them to

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: at least make the finals. And it sounds weird to

92
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: say that. I do think at this point the pressure

93
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: is on the Heat and that sounds strange and it

94
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: sounds weird. And we know that all the conversations that

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: we will be having and everyone will be having all

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: week if the Celtics don't win this series, and especially

97
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: if they lose tonight, But I do think that the

98
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: pressure has now shifted to Miami. And it's it's funny,

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: right because I remember before Game four, Marcus Smart, Jalen Brown,

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: amongst others were like, you know, don't let us get one.

101
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Don't let us get one, and it sounded like such

102
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: a just a cliche like dumb thing to say. But

103
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: here we are, the Celtics in control of this game.

104
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: Here early in the third quarter, up sixty two to sixty.

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: About midway through the third quarter, I really should say, Jason,

106
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: what do you think has been the difference the last

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: two games. Obviously, you know, Miami jumps out to that

108
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: three to zero series lead, but you know, obviously Boston

109
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: did what they had to do the last two games,

110
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: including winning Game four in Miami. What do you believe

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: the difference has been. Do you believe there is a difference.

112
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 2: Do you believe it's just kind of water reaching its level,

113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: that Miami wasn't as good as they looked in the

114
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: first three, Boston wasn't as bad as they looked in

115
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: the first three. As there something? I mean, obviously, I

116
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: know Gay Vincent was out for Game five and stuff

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: like that, so there are some things. But is there

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: anything that stands out that appears to be different about

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: these two teams over the last two games that has

120
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: allowed Boston to get back in this series.

121
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: I don't know really. I mean, I do think that

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: Boston's been defending better, they've been rebounding a little bit better.

123
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: But I don't think anybody believed that the Heat were

124
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 3: kind of sweep the Celtics prior to it happening, if

125
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: they believed they could beat them at all. It felt

126
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: like Miami was playing just kind of living their best life,

127
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: and once it starts to go right. In the first

128
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 3: game for Boston that they won, it would be easy

129
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: for them to get a little bit of their swagger back.

130
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: But I also think one thing about the Celtics is

131
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: they don't play well with expectation.

132
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: Yep.

133
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: They kind of remind me of Georgia from three or

134
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: four years ago in college football, where whenever they got

135
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: the number one ranking, you could chalk up them losing

136
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: within the next two weeks. They just couldn't handle success.

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: And there are teams that you have to learn how

138
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: to how to win when you're expected to win. And

139
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: when these guys, when they can put a chip on

140
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 3: their shoulder, when they can play as the underdog, When

141
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: they can do that, I think you get the best

142
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: version of them because they're able to motivate themselves, and

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: I think they believe themselves to be kind of a

144
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: blue collar group, whereas a lot of other fans and

145
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 3: people across the NBA would say, now they're very much

146
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: you know, they're very much glitz and glamour. They're the

147
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: Boston Celtics. Tatum's a big time name, He's on ads,

148
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: all these other things. I think that's what it is.

149
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: I think it's just when there's expectation on them, they

150
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: can be very mediocre very quickly. But when you count

151
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 3: them out, that is when you get the best version

152
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: of them. Because it seems like to me that Jaylen

153
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: Brown and Jason Tatum play better when they think you've

154
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: counted them out.

155
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't disagree. I certainly think they

156
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: they don't play as well with with you know, when

157
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 2: they're expected to do great things, right. I mean, obviously

158
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: look at that Philly series where they fell down whatever

159
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: it was three to one or was it three h

160
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: three two, and they were able to rally back, and

161
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: then obviously this year's falling down three to zero as well.

162
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: I tend to agree. I don't know that it's anything,

163
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, like like fundamentally that has changed. I don't

164
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: think Boston was as bad and I don't think Miami

165
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: was necessarily as good as they looked in those first

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: three games. I do think there's a degree of like

167
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: mental toughness that the Celtics have shown here these last

168
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: few games, because you go back to game one, Game two,

169
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: where Jimmy Butler just really went into Boston and basically

170
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: ripped the heart out of that team on their home court. Now,

171
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: to your point, they haven't played very well at home,

172
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: but I think that's why. One, you know, I think

173
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: this is an important series for Boston. Not just look,

174
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: you don't want to lose to an eight seed in

175
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals. I get it, But I do

176
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: think there is an element of last year when push

177
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: came to shove against the Warriors. Tatum wasn't great, and

178
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: Tatum kind of coward and Brown wasn't great either, and

179
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: so like, I feel like it's hard to say, Okay,

180
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: this team made the finals last year and then the

181
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals this year, but I do think there's

182
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: like a degree of toughness that they have to show

183
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 2: and that they have to overcome. They did it a

184
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: little bit in the last round because I do go

185
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: back to I remember talking about this last year, but

186
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: you go back to those those playoffs last year, right

187
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: is you beat the Bucks in seven games when they

188
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: didn't have Middleton, You beat the Miami Heat when by

189
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: the end they were completely banged up, and then you

190
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: kind of got punked by the Warriors in the NBA Finals,

191
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: and so you come back this year. Obviously, I know

192
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown's a little bit banged up, but you know,

193
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: if you get punked, if you lose four to one

194
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: to these heat, then I do think there's starting to

195
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: be questions about the mental toughness, and then of course

196
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: the questions about do you have to restructure this team

197
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 2: as it's constituted. So I don't really know if I

198
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: said anything there, but I guess the point that I'm

199
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: trying to say is they are showing a degree of

200
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: mental toughness that I wasn't sure that they had. But

201
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: we'll see, obviously what happens from here, because if you

202
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 2: lose four to two, I don't know that anybody's saying

203
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: that any you know, major corner was turned for this

204
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: organization or this cores if you don't close out this

205
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 2: game and at least force a game seven.

206
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, I think that

207
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: the success that they have had in previous years, even

208
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: though there's been a cap on it, that poortends that

209
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: eventually you got to stop being the Buffalo Bills in

210
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: some ways and you actually have to close one of

211
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: these things. Now, Buffalo hasn't made it to a super

212
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: Bowl yet, and we have seen many of these Boston

213
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: players in an NBA Finals. But I think the point

214
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: still stands. And as you watch this game, the more

215
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: that I see of it, this is is gonna have

216
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: to be Jimmy Butler doing one of those Jimmy Butler

217
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: things in the fourth quarter. Because the Celtics they're playing

218
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: better as a unit. It feels like the heat are

219
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: hanging on and they are mean. Look, they're only down

220
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: four points right now, but they were down eleven in

221
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: the first half at one point and had to cut

222
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: it to four and a half. They're just making a

223
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: shot to keep it from getting out of control. But

224
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: it and I could see it happening. But Butler's gonna

225
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: have to have one of those fourth quarters. And if

226
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: you've been watching this league and paying attention to sports

227
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: long enough, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's

228
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 3: gonna be him. Like they don't have enough, but he

229
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: could get red hot and do something special. But it

230
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: just feels like Boston is better right now.

231
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: Well, and the other thing too, you say, Jimmy Butler

232
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: has to kind of carry the team on his back.

233
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: It was interesting because I was watching the halftime with

234
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: the TNT guys and they're obviously great as always, but

235
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: they were kind of referencing, you know, this game was

236
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: gonna come down to who's big two was better. And

237
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Tatum had twenty five in the first half, Jalen Brown eleven.

238
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: That's a combination of thirty six, Jimmy Butler nine points,

239
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: bam Adebayo five fourteen combined. And why I bring it

240
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: up is because I get that bam Adebayo has been

241
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: an All Star, yeah, but I don't see him on

242
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: that level of those other three. And so that just

243
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: plays into what you said about Jimmy Butler is. And

244
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: I think, look, this is why you and I in

245
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: this time slot for the last two or three weeks,

246
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: have talked about why we both enjoyed Jimmy Butler so much,

247
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: why it seems like the basketball watching community has enjoyed him,

248
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: because he really is, in my opinion, taking a group

249
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: that is basically a group of very good role players.

250
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: I mean, we all know the narrative about all the

251
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 2: undrafted guys on the Miami Heat, but I would take

252
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: it a step further. Bam Adebayo was a lottery pick.

253
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: Bam Adebayo has been an All Star. I still think

254
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: bam Adebayo is just a really, really really good role player.

255
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: And so that just plays into the point that he

256
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: made Jason that Jimmy Butler probably gonna have to put

257
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: this team on his back as it is now right

258
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: now with about five minutes left, a four point Boston

259
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: lead here with five minutes to go.

260
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: Jason, Yeah, I mean, I like, I like Bam quite

261
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: a bit. But I look at Bam like I looked

262
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: at Tristan Thompson with the Cavs, Like it's not there's

263
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: if you look at the number two's in the NBA,

264
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: ain't no way I'm classifying bam Adebayo as a true number.

265
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: Two real quick. Jams Murray, Yeah, Jalmy Jalen Brown, and

266
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: either Lebron James or Anthony Davis, pick your pick. Those

267
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: are the other two.

268
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: That's just three. I mean, how about Devin Booker, Yeah, yeah,

269
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, we get this list goes a

270
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: lot deeper than that. James Harden even at his age,

271
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: or Tyres Maxy, whichever one of them you want to

272
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: talk about these A lot of these teams have two

273
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: stars on them, and that secondary star is somebody that

274
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: is much more consistent than at a bio. Again, I

275
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: like at a Bio's game, but there's not a consistency

276
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: or dominance there on a regular enough basis for me

277
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: to see him as anything more than a three with

278
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: two capabilities.

279
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: Don't disagree, and it'll be interesting to see because it

280
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: feels like every time the Heat make a run to

281
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: the credit of the Boston Celtics, they have the CounterPunch.

282
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: Boston up seventy one sixty five with four point fifty

283
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: seven left in the third quarter. This is Fox Sports

Speaker 2: every time that the boss that the Miami heat Maker run,

312
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: the Celtics have an answer. Might be seeing this young

313
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: team grow up in front of our eyes. We will

314
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: keep you updated on this game. As again, the Boston

315
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: Celtics in Game six, trailing three to two in the series,

316
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: have a ten point lead late in the third quarter. Jason,

317
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. I saw something this week and

318
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: it made me realize, you know, sometimes you realize in

319
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: your career, in your life, what you do, what you

320
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: don't do, what you want to do, what you don't

321
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: want to do. And I saw something this week that

322
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: made me just say, I would never want to be

323
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: an NBA insider or an NFL insider. And here's why.

324
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: Is because sometimes you have to put out news to

325
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: help a source, even when you know that news is

326
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: total nonsense. And I saw this, and by the way,

327
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: this is what I love being more so in the

328
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: opinion space, because you know, what you and I do

329
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: is more reacting to news and trying to contextualize it.

330
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: But as soon as the first tweet about Lebron James

331
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: on the podium after Game four after the Lakers get swept,

332
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: the first tweet of did Lebron James just hint a retirement?

333
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: And then about ten minutes later, Chris Haynes, who does

334
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: a really good job covering the NBA, not criticizing him,

335
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: but puts out a report Lebron James seriously considering retirement

336
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: after Game four sweep. And then Dave mc menaman not

337
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: disrespecting him. He works hard, he's good at what he does.

338
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: I've caught up with Lebron James, and he's really thinking

339
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: hard about his future. Jason, I can't speak for you,

340
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give you the floor here momentarily. But

341
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: there hasn't been one tenth of one second since the

342
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: moment that the Nuggets eliminated the Lakers that I believe

343
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: that Lebron James is seriously considering retirement. I believe this

344
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: is leverage for the offseason, and I believe it was

345
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: also about, hey, can't let the Nuggets have their moment

346
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: in the sun. Do you believe Lebron James is about

347
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: to retire, Jason Martin, I.

348
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: Believe it more than one tenth of one second, Okay,

349
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: I believe it for about two one second.

350
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: Okay, So no, when.

351
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: I first heard it, it felt like here's somebody that

352
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 3: said that they lost. Maybe started to feel better about that.

353
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: Crew thought they had better shot than this. And I

354
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 3: do think it's exhausting to be Lebron James. He went

355
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: through the injury, he actually had an injury that he

356
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: was playing through as well that maybe he's even gonna

357
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: have to have a procedure on during the offseason. He's

358
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: getting old, He's played a lot of minutes the game

359
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 3: that he played that they lost, that turned out to

360
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: be the last game of the season, was an extraordinary

361
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: game by Lebron James, and he still hit a wall

362
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: in the about midway through the third quarter. It's just

363
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you could just see, Oh, he's

364
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 3: an older guy, and he gave it all he had

365
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 3: in the first half of this game, especially in that

366
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: first quarter, when he was just as good as you've

367
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: ever seen the guy. And so you can for a

368
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 3: second and just say, he might just be thinking, man,

369
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 3: how am I gonna get back to the top when

370
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 3: you look at all this But and I don't even

371
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: want to talk about his son, because I know that's

372
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: part of this and we could talk about it in

373
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 3: a couple of years. And he wants to play with him,

374
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: but he's also kind of backed off and said, you know,

375
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 3: he might want to carve his own path, and that's

376
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: all right, and we're gonna support him no matter what,

377
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: and things of that nature. But I ain't more than anything,

378
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: he should feel better. You would think about how this

379
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: season ended for the Lakers than what happened the year before,

380
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: So he should feel better than he should at the

381
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 3: beginning of this season because what they did at mid

382
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: season gave them a shot, and they you know, they're

383
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: gonna have to pay to keep Austin Reeves, but hopefully

384
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: you keep Austin Reeves on that team. You let D'Angelo

385
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: Russell go wherever D'Angelo Russell wants to go, that's not

386
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 3: in your locker room. You make a couple of other

387
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: small moves, maybe you make a big splash. I don't know,

388
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: but Lebron still got basketball left in him. But all

389
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: you need to hear was when he said I'm still

390
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 3: better than ninety to ninety five percent of the league.

391
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: Like that's the quote where it's like, all right, well

392
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 3: he's not retiring. Like this feels very Ben Roethlisberger the

393
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: last three years of his career, where at the end

394
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: of the season he's not sure he's coming back, but

395
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 3: he is gonna come back. The only part that I

396
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: am hesitant on, Aaron, I heard you mention it the

397
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: tellen of your comments. I'm hesitant to say he was

398
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: trying to steal the Nuggets moment. I understand that argument.

399
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: I tried to make it to myself, but I also

400
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: just thought he might just be down in the dumps

401
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: and he certainly wants to turn the narrative. But I

402
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: don't know what's about against the Nuggets as much as

403
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: it is. Don't talk about the Lakers losing. Let's talk

404
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: about me. Maybe I'm gonna take a little bit of

405
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 3: the onus off the franchise right now. We can talk

406
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: about my future. That becomes a storyline. Whether or not

407
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: he meant to do it or not. He did knock

408
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: the Nuggets off their perch.

409
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so a lot to peel back there. So after

410
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 2: the Sager, we'll talk Kyrie. But really quick, I want

411
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: to ask you question about the current setup because I

412
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: do believe that part of those comments was to create

413
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: some sort of leverage for the offseason. If you remember

414
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: at the All Star break and then the lead up

415
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: to the trade deadline, this was really the first time

416
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: that someone in a front office role basically said no

417
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 2: to Lebron James essentially since he was in Miami with

418
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 2: pat Riley and the organization basically said no, we're not

419
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: trading for the guys that you want gonna We're not

420
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: trading all our draft picks. We are gonna reshape the

421
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: team as best we can. So I believe that was

422
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: part of why he made the comments that he did.

423
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: Here's my question, though, jas is I get that Lebron.

424
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: Every time that you don't win a championship for a

425
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: guy of his caliber, the season is deemed a failure.

426
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: But I actually really like this group that they have,

427
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: and I know they got swept by the Nuggets. I

428
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: get that. But this sport changes year over year over

429
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 2: years so much. And I'm not saying you completely run

430
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: it back and you bring back the entire fifteen. I

431
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: don't even know if it's possible with contracts and what

432
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves is probably gonna earn this offseason. But why

433
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 2: I bring it up. I don't think this is the

434
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: summer to make sweeping changes because look, this was the

435
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: best team in the NBA after the trade deadline. They

436
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: made the Western Conference Finals, smoke the defending champions, and yes,

437
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: the Nuggets were better this year, but you don't know

438
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: what's going to be like, what things are gonna be

439
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: like in a year from now. I'll tell you what.

440
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: We'll both react to that momentarily. Before we do, though,

441
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: let's toss it over the news desk for the first

442
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: time this evening. Steve de Sager, take it away, will

443
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: react to Lebron's comments after Disager go ahead and my.

444
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 6: Face, Steve Hallo, gentlemen, it is a Celtics lead through three.

445
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 6: We'll get to baseball later. Suffice to say, the A's

446
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 6: did not win today.

447
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: I gotta get to softball. I heard you shouting out

448
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: Chris Plank, Sooner's on the way in with Martina Vich.

449
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 6: He is living the dream. He's for those who don't know,

450
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 6: Arnie's co host on Sunday night here on Fox Sports

451
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 6: Radio is Chris Plank, who not only a sideline reporter

452
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 6: for Oklahoma football, he's the play by play guy for

453
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 6: Oklahoma softball, which is trying to win its fifth national

454
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 6: title in the last eight years and is fifty six

455
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 6: and one this season.

456
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: That's a decent record.

457
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 6: This is just silly, and the comeback today was even

458
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 6: sillier because they were down to their last out and

459
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 6: last strike and hit a three run homer to tie,

460
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 6: and then another homer and extra innings to win and

461
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 6: eliminade Clemson. So appropriately, the NCAA record they broke today

462
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 6: was set by Arne's Arizona wildcatsh of most consecutive victories

463
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 6: forty seven, Oklahoma softball has now won forty eighth straight.

464
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: Does this mean Arnie's not coming in? You know every

465
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: time you can only hope, yes, I know every time

466
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: the Raiders lose, all Pikes not coming it tomorrow.

467
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 6: Well, you know, mister Oklahoma is showing up with mister Arizona,

468
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 6: and I think this may actually come up on the

469
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 6: show tonight. I'm just jessing. At the other end of

470
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: the spectrum of the Oakland A's, AP points out that

471
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 6: we are one third of the way through the MLB

472
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 6: season and the A's are on pace for about one

473
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty losses. Wow, their franchise worst season was

474
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 6: one hundred and eight losses nineteen seventy nine in Oakland,

475
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 6: just to put that in perspective. And you guys were

476
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 6: talking about all the great Saturday night events we've had

477
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 6: going on here in this show slot, and that is true.

478
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 6: There is no Saturday night NBA Finals game though coming

479
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 6: up on the schedule. There is a Thursday Sunday NBA

480
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 6: Finals and then the second week a Friday Monday NBA Finals,

481
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 6: but no Saturday night games. Will the Celtics be there?

482
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 6: Keep in mind, if the Celtics make the NBA Finals,

483
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 6: they'll have home court advantage. They won fifty seven games

484
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 6: this year. Denver won fifty three. Despite all the home

485
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 6: wins of the Nuggets, Celtics would have home court. Celtics

486
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: lead end of three at Miami, seventy nine to seventy two.

487
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum had twenty five points in the first half

488
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 6: no points in the third quarter, but the Celtics actually

489
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 6: extended the lead from four to seven. Boston had led

490
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 6: by eleven points in the second quarter. Just twenty percent

491
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 6: shooting from three point range for the Celtics, and Tatum

492
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 6: is oh of six from long distance, and the Celtics

493
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 6: have not been guarding the three well. But Miami's two

494
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 6: stars are not shooting well at all. Jimmy Butler two

495
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 6: of fifteen from the floor, bam At A Bayo three

496
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 6: of fourteen from the floor. Fortunately, aside from those two

497
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 6: from three point range, Miami is ten of twenty one

498
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 6: and so they're only down seven at home. This is

499
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: Game six of the NBA's East Finals. Heap with yet

500
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 6: another chance to close out the series. They're up three

501
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 6: games to two. The NBA Finals won't begin until next Thursday.

502
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 6: June first, we'll see if it's at Denver. Milwaukee's new

503
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 6: head coach will reportedly be Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin. And

504
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 6: Stanley Cup's West Final at Vegas tonight, the Dallas Stars

505
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 6: now lead four to two, with two third period goals

506
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 6: about five minutes left. Four to two lead for the

507
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 6: Visitors over the Golden Knights, who for the moment lead

508
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: three games to one. If Dallas wins tonight to extend

509
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 6: the series, the Stanley Cup Final will not start until

510
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 6: next Saturday. It'll be on during the show on June

511
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 6: the third. Florida awaits in the Cup Final. Nascars do

512
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 6: to be in Charlotte for the Big six hundred and

513
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 6: the holiday weekend Sunday night on Fox TV Weather permitting

514
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 6: Today's Infinity Race rained out, postponed Monday practice and qualifying

515
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 6: each rained out today as well to Major League Baseball Show.

516
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 6: Heyo Tani is on the mound for the Angels tonight,

517
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 6: down one nothing to the Marlins bottom of the second,

518
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 6: Rockies lead Justin Verlander and the Mets six to one.

519
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 6: In the top of the fifth. Pete Alonzo has hit

520
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 6: his twentieth homer of the season. Dodgers and Phillies each

521
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: one on the road. Yankees won in ten innings three

522
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 6: to two against the Padres. And I'll bring up the Braves. Yes,

523
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 6: they lost at home two to one to Philadelphia, But

524
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 6: as we brought up often and it's worth talking about again,

525
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 6: it's a Saturday home game. At every Saturday home game

526
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 6: this season, the Atlanta Braves are wearing some of the

527
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 6: best jerseys in my lifetime in baseball, those City Connects

528
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 6: uniforms that make him look like Hank Aaron's Braves from

529
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 6: fifty years ago. So it's good to see those jerseys

530
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 6: and good news for the Braves. And that pitcher Mike

531
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 6: Soroka is coming back to the rotation soon. We'll see

532
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 6: about this week. But this is a guy that tore

533
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: his achilles in the summer of twenty twenty, so all

534
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 6: this time he's only had one full Major league season,

535
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 6: but he was an All Star then in twenty nineteen

536
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 6: eer two point six eight. Soroka from Canada was drafted

537
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 6: late first round by the Braves out of high school

538
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 6: in twenty fifteen, updating NBA the lead for the Celtics

539
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 6: seventy nine seventy six at Miami early in the fourth

540
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 6: Back to.

541
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: You, Thank you very much. Steve the Seger, Fox Sports Radio,

548
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: I do want your perspective. And for people who are

549
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: just joining us, we're talking about the Lebron James commentary

550
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: about potentially retiring you and I don't really buy it.

551
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: But my thought is is the idea of Lebron trying

552
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: to create leverage so he maybe has more of a

553
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: say in the offseason moves. And my big thing is,

554
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: again I get for a player of his caliber that

555
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: is not only chasing his contemporaries but the greats of

556
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: all time that every year that you don't win a championship,

557
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: it's deemed a failure. By the way Celtics have. Their

558
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: lead is down to four with nine and a half

559
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: minutes to go. Celtics up eighty two seventy eight. Will

560
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: keep you updated on this. It is in the fourth

561
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: quarter in Miami. But with Lebron, you look at that

562
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: team and I know they didn't win the championship, and

563
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 2: I know they just got swept. And I'm not saying

564
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: you have to be okay with beat falling short. But

565
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: at the same time, best record after the All Star Break,

566
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: destroyed the Golden State Warriors in the second round, took

567
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: care of Memphis, which was the number two seed. I

568
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: just don't think this is the year that you need

569
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: to make these crazy, major sweeping changes. This was a

570
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: really good basketball team late and I don't know. I

571
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: think I think Lebron can't see the force through the trees,

572
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: if in fact that was that was why he made

573
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: the comments that he did.

574
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: Jase, I mean, I can definitely understand why you would

575
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: make that make that argument and why others have because

576
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 3: he's done this before in terms of using whatever leverage

577
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: you can, and he has meddled. He's meddled in coaching,

578
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: he's meddled with acquisitions. We know that we know what

579
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: the Lakers could have had instead of Russell Westbrook and

580
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: how they ended up with Westbrook and now they don't

581
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: have him, And I agree with you. I don't know

582
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: that they're the best roster top to bottom, but what

583
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: they got is awfully good. I think at the very

584
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: most you'd make a couple of small tweaks. The thing

585
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: that I I just boggles my mind is the idea

586
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: of Kyrie Irving. I think that ruins everything. But you

587
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: look at kind of the crux of this. You saw

588
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: Hotchi more than when he was able to bring you

589
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: shrewder when he was coming off the bench. At least

590
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: they were smart enough to put him in the starting

591
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: lineup in that last in that last game, Reeves is

592
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: going to command a lot of money. I don't know

593
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: if they can keep him, but they certainly should try.

594
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: I don't think that this. I think your point is right,

595
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 3: and I don't think that there's anything that says the

596
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: Lakers need to go do anything gigantically drastic considering where

597
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: they are and what they were able to accomplish, which

598
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: is better than anybody could have imagined they were going

599
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: to right before the trade deadline when those moves were made.

600
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, you don't want to throw out the baby

601
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: with the bathwater here you don't want to completely upset

602
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: the apple cart when the apple cart's actually selling some apples.

603
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I want to continue that Kyrie

604
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: Irving perspective momentarily will do that. I should keep you updated.

605
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: By the way, the Celtics four point lead, nine minutes

606
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: to go, Boston up eighty two, seventy eight. Jimmy Butler,

607
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: it looked like he just made a bucket, but there's

608
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: some concern about did he throw an elbow in the process.

609
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: Refs are reviewing, looking at over seeing if there's anything flavorant.

610
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: We will keep you updated on that. But in a

611
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: game six, if the Celtics lose, they go home, they

612
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: are up by four with nine minutes to go, we'll

613
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: come back. We'll react to that, and we will answer

614
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: Jason's question, does Kyrie Irving make any sense for this

615
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: Lakers team? That's next? This is Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the tire Rack dot com Studios Celtics

622
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: Miami game is getting very interesting again. It is game six.

623
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: Celtics lose, they go home. We're up by as many

624
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: as ten here in the third quarter. While we were away,

625
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: Miami actually took a brief one point lead eighty three

626
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: eighty two. Boston has scored four straight. Jason Tatum is

627
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: at the line potential to make it five straight Boston,

628
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: or excuse me, Jaylen Brown is at the foul line,

629
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 2: uh and shooting as I speak. Boston as I speak

630
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: has an eighty eight eighty three lead with seven minutes

631
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: left here in the fourth quarter. Again, Miami briefly took

632
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: the lead while we were away. After the Miami heat

633
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: trail by as many as ten points here in the

634
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. We will keep you updated on this game

635
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: as it is getting good in Miami. So Jason really quick.

636
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: We were talking about it, and we did and didn't have

637
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: a chance to talk about it. But obviously part of

638
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: the entire conversation on Wednesday, or I guess it was

639
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: Monday night when the goal when the Denver Nuggets beat

640
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers for the sweep, was you know,

641
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: Lebron James talking about retirement all that, but part of

642
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: the conversation then stemmed from the fact that, oh, by

643
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: the way, is he talking about retirement. He's trying to

644
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: create leverage. And oh, by the way, on top of everything,

645
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving, Lebron's former teammate, who he very publicly basically,

646
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: maybe not publicly, but he certainly wanted at this pass

647
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: trade deadline. When Kyrie was eventually trade to the Mavericks,

648
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving just so happened to be at Game four

649
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: at the Staplescentercrypto dot Com Arena. What a weird coincidence, Jason,

650
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: So obviously that immediately sparks some conversation, and it sounds

651
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: like you are not a fan of bringing Kyrie into

652
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: this organization.

653
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 3: No, And before he went to Dallas, I had said,

654
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: the only place where I was at least thinking it

655
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: good work is with Lebron James. Now I've seen it

656
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 3: in Dallas. We already saw it in Boston, we saw

657
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: it in Brooklyn. I don't care how good he is.

658
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: I just think he's poisoned for your basketball team. I

659
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: think he's poison for your franchise. I mean, he couldn't

660
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: get along with his best friend Durant Dallas. We knew

661
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: that was gonna be a disaster, and it pretty much was. Now,

662
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: you're gonna send them to the Lakers, a team that

663
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to have chemistry issues outside of D'Angelo Russell,

664
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: who won't be there anyway, But it seemed like everybody

665
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: else is playing a pretty solid team ball. That chemistry

666
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 3: seemed positive. So you're gonna throw that dude into it.

667
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's Lebron James or anybody else

668
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: at this point, if I have a team that I

669
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 3: believe in at all, adding Kyrie Irving, to me, is

670
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: the one thing you just cannot do. There are a

671
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: few things that you can't do in sports, and that's

672
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 3: got to be near the top of the list, and

673
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: that is acquiring Kyrie Irving and thinking that's gonna make

674
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: you a better franchise. I just don't Again, there's no

675
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: need to go make this move. And if you do

676
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: make this move, one, you know he's gonna miss some

677
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 3: time because he always misses time. Two, he's going to

678
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 3: say something at some point that's gonna cause problems to

679
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: be an off the court distraction. On the court. When

680
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: he's great, he's great. I just don't want any part

681
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: of it. Now, there are other people out there that

682
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 3: will dispute this, will tell me I'm wrong. We'll talk

683
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: about how great a basketball player he is. I'm not

684
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: denying how great a basketball player he is. I just

685
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 3: think his cons outweigh his pros at this point in

686
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 3: his career. And that's not a movie I want to watch.

687
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the argument, well, I think the argument

688
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: is really twofold, right, is that one you would think

689
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: that if there's one person that can keep him in

690
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: line as Lebron James, and then two, you know you

691
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 2: really only need him to play whatever. Basically, we're at

692
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 2: the point now where Lebron's not gonna play every night

693
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: in the regular season, Anthony Davis isn't gonna play every

694
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: night in the regular season, and Kyrie would be kind

695
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: of that guy that would be there on those nights

696
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: that they're not available. I guess my question is pretty straightforward,

697
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: is the concept of Okay, Lebron could keep him in line,

698
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: but Kenny really though, because Kyrie and Katie were supposed

699
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: to be best friends and by the end you could

700
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 2: in Brooklyn that you know, they basically didn't appear as

701
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 2: though they were communicating off the court. You know, Kyrie

702
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: all the COVID stuff misses a bunch of time, his

703
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: own best friends supposedly can't talk him into it. On

704
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 2: top of that, he demands a trade, and I still

705
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 2: go back to that trade demand. It blows my mind

706
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 2: that it wasn't a bigger deal. I think it's because

707
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: it's Kyrie. Everybody just kind of was like, uh, well, Kyrie,

708
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: go and Kyrie again. But they were in fourth place,

709
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: they were going to host playoff games if and he

710
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: demanded a trade because he wasn't happy. So I don't

711
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: totally buy that Lebron can keep him in line. And

712
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 2: if Lebron can't keep and listen, I just think it

713
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: comes back down to exactly what you just said is

714
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: how many times do we have to do this song

715
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: and dance. It's not about the talent. It's never been

716
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 2: about the talent. It is about the fact that everywhere

717
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: he goes it becomes fundamentally worse and it never works out.

718
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: And every single team tries to convince themselves that they're

719
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: different and they're gonna be the one, and they have

720
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 2: the infrastructure in place, and they have this guy and

721
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 2: they have that guy, and well, you know, I mean

722
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: think about all the conversations right well, you know, I

723
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: mean Boston, I mean he was kind of in Lebron's shadow. Well,

724
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: look what he's gonna do when he gets here. He's

725
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: gonna have the ball. He's gonna be the guy. Wasn't

726
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 2: happy with that. Oh he's gonna go play with his

727
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: best friend Katie. That fell apart. Well, Dallas, well you know,

728
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Luca's team. He's just got to show up.

729
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: And they were in the playoff race and they completely

730
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 2: tanked and missed out on the playoffs altogether, including the

731
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: play in I'm with you is that I just I

732
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: don't buy that Lebron can keep him in line. I

733
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: don't buy that he's the answer. And it goes back

734
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: to what we talked about last segment, Jason, which is

735
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: just pretty straightforward, is that I don't think the Lakers

736
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: are nearly as far off as some people, including Lebron,

737
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: seem to think. I am just so not on board

738
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: with this, but it seems as though Lebron has convinced

739
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: himself that this is the guy that can heal all

740
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: of the Lakers problems.

741
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 3: I just think he's wrong. I think you think he's wrong.

742
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: And I think that Kyrie Irving at this stage in

743
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: his career, I don't care how good he is. He's

744
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 3: become the kind of thing that desperate franchises that aren't

745
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 3: gonna win anyway, that's who they go. So they sell

746
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: some tickets for a little while, like because they know

747
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 3: it's like, we're not gonna win a title. Let's bring

748
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: in this guy's pay him, let's make him the face whatever.

749
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 3: You don't do this. If you're a contender, I'm sorry.

750
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: You don't add him to a mix of a team

751
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: that's been closed, certainly not one that made a conference finals.

752
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 3: You do not, under any circumstances add him and expect

753
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: that to be the thing that takes you over the top.

754
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: And again, the evidence has now mounted. I get it,

755
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: believe me. That's why I thought last year, yeah, before

756
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: the Dallas move, the Lakers are the only place that

757
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 3: makes sense because Lebron and he did coexist, even though

758
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: there were a lot of problems, they won a championship together.

759
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 3: That's the only place I could see this working. But

760
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 3: I mean, eventually, there's just too much evidence on the

761
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 3: other side, like he's convicted. As far as I'm concerned

762
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 3: in terms of he's a guy that can wreck you,

763
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: He's not a guy that's gonna bring a trophy to you.

764
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: At this point, I just don't think he's a team guy.

765
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 3: And I hate to say that I don't know him.

766
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's a bad dude, like as a

767
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 3: human being, even though he's done some things that certainly

768
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 3: are we all have. But I just look at him

769
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: as a team man. I'm just like, dude, that's a

770
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 3: me first guy, like and he always probably has been,

771
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: but he certainly has been in these last few stops.

772
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 3: This is just not a guy that you bring in

773
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 3: that's going to be the missing piece to your championship run. Like,

774
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: I just don't see that. And I can't believe that

775
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: Lebron still believes that I'm.

776
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: One hundred percent with you, and I you know, I

777
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: do wonder, like I just wonder at this point what

778
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: his future is because it didn't work in Dallas obviously,

779
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: UH didn't work anywhere previously really dating back to the

780
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: Cleveland days. And if the Lakers don't make this move,

781
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't know where he lands. And I don't think

782
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 2: it's going to happen, but I don't think it's inconceivable.

783
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: This guy's out of the league. And we've seen this

784
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 2: before now, like like you know, go through the list

785
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: like Stefan Marberry, like how many years did he play

786
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: in China? Because nobody want him in the NBA. And

787
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: so I'm maybe that's the only example Dwight Howard where

788
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: it's just like okay, like you just you're kinda like

789
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: I don't know, like we just don't want to deal

790
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 2: with you, and you're not good enough at this point

791
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 2: in your career. And so with Kyrie, if you're only

792
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: playing you know whatever, fifty to fifty five games tops,

793
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: you're a locker room cancer. Everybody gets worse. I'm not

794
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 2: saying the Lakers won't go after him. I'm just saying, Jason,

795
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 2: I don't know what the landing spot would be if

796
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers aren't the team, but it remains to be seen.

797
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 2: I should have mentioned Jason really quickly. You know, I've

798
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: said it a couple of times tonight. Every time the

799
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 2: Miami Heat make the run, the Celtics have an answer.

800
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 2: Celtics have opened this thing back up to a ten

801
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: point lead ninety eight eighty eight with four minutes to go. Jason,

802
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: I know we're coming up on the top of the hour,

803
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 2: but the Celtics are in control. With about four minutes

804
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: left in this game.

805
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 3: They're seven for thirty five. And by day I mean

806
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler and bam Adebayo. They're having some of the

807
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: worst They're having one of the worst nights I ever seen.

808
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler's three for nineteen from the field. Look, they've

809
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 3: had some good contributions from other guys. You can't you

810
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: can't have Jimmy Butler go three for nineteen, expect to

811
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: win Boston. Looks they were on the ropes for a

812
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: minute there, but they couldn't hold it.

813
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a ten point lead with four minutes

814
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: to go. We will come back and we will react

815
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: to that as well as look ahead to the Nuggets

816
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 2: and whoever they play in the finals. That's next. Fox Sports.

822
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: buying should be. As Sager just told you, the Celtics

823
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: in control here late about three minutes left in this game,

824
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 2: Boston up one hundred and ninety one. Of course, if

825
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 2: Boston is too hold on to win this game, they

826
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: will advance to a Game seven in Boston after trailing

827
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 2: three to zero in this series. You know, Jason, I

828
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: think the play here is probably to wait until this

829
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 2: game goes final to react to it. As Miami has

830
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 2: cut the lead to seven with about two thirty left,

831
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this. We'll react to this

832
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 2: game momentarily. But we talked about Lebron, We talked about

833
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Give me Jason Martin's hot Nuggets take because

834
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: it does feel like, you know, the Nuggets all off

835
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: season are all season number one seed. The Jokic versus

836
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: MB conversation, they were waiting for their moment, waiting for

837
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: their moment, waiting to get their flowers, waiting to get credit,

838
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: and then they sweep the Lakers, and next thing you know,

839
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 2: Lebron is talking retirement. We're talking Lebron, We're talking Kyrie,

840
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: and we are again not talking the Nuggets. So the

841
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: Nuggets are hanging by the way, Jimmy Butler with a

842
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: big three it is now a four point game in

843
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: Miami with two minutes left. Will keep you updated there.

844
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 2: Jason thoughts, Nuggets, Are we ever gonna acknowledge this team

845
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: is like legitimately awesome? And I think regardless of who

846
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 2: wins this series will likely be favored in the NBA Finals.

847
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 3: I think it's funny because I think we kind of

848
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 3: do acknowledge it because we have these conversations the way

849
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 3: you just set this question up to me, We have

850
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: these across airwaves, across networks all week long, man, that

851
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: nobody's talking about the Nuggets. Man, what's it gonna take

852
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 3: to get the Nuggets respect? If the Nuggets win the championship?

853
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 3: Are we gonna be talking about them? Yeah, and we

854
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 3: finally get that is talking about them. Sure, it's weird

855
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 3: and it's kind of it's sort of backhanded, but I

856
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 3: think it's because we all know they're really good. I

857
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 3: do think and we heard this during some of the

858
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 3: rejoined stuff and some of the commercials. You know, Cowherd

859
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: said this week He's just like, look, some dynasties are boring.

860
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 3: Some champions are boring, Like you can't remember every World

861
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 3: Series champion because some of them just flat out weren't

862
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 3: that interesting. Like you have moments and you have finishes

863
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 3: that become iconic, and then you have teams that win

864
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: championships that aren't particularly exciting, and you talk about an

865
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: unexciting dynasty. You can look at a lot of what

866
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 3: San Antonio Spurs did, but you look at Denver and

867
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: when you're playing against the LA Lakers and Lebron James

868
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: Is on that team, it's still gonna be more about

869
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 3: them than it is about you. It's gonna be more

870
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,479
Speaker 3: about them losing and how they lost. Then it's gonna

871
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 3: be about your dominance. There are teams, there are franchises

872
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: that just kind of have to put on the hard hat,

873
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 3: grab the lunch, bail, go to work and do the job.

874
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 3: They're really good. The hot nugget steak is they're the

875
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 3: best team in the NBA.

876
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 7: They are.

877
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 3: They flat out are. They're better than Boston, They're better

878
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: than Miami, They're better than everybody else they played in

879
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 3: the West. They're better than everybody in the East. Like

880
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 3: they're the best. They just are. They're the best team

881
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: with the best collection of talent together, they play well together,

882
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 3: they have a superstar, they can do a lot even

883
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 3: when he's not scoring. There's just so much to like

884
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: about that. But I do think that's it's a little

885
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 3: overblown that nobody gives the Nuggets credit because we spend

886
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: so much time talking about them not getting credit.

887
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: So two things. One, this Celtics heat game is bananas.

888
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 2: So Miami had cut the lead to three on a

889
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler free throw, he misses, the second free throw,

890
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: rebounded by Miami, hits a wide open Duncan Robinson, who

891
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: misses a wide open three that would have tied the game.

892
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 2: Celtics come back down. Jalen Brown now on the foll

893
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: line up one hundred and one ninety seven, so up

894
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 2: four points with a little over a minute to go.

895
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 2: We'll keep you updated on this one. That Duncan Robbins

896
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: that was the most wide open three he will ever

897
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 2: have in his entire career. Celtics up by fourth a

898
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: minute to go. But I will say this for Denver is,

899
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: I do think that you're right. Maybe the hot take

900
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: is that there no no longer needs to be a

901
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 2: hot take, But I will say. I'm happy for them

902
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: from the perspective of not only one that they got

903
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: to play the Lakers, and they got to play team

904
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: as Jimmy Butler just another bucket there cuts the lead

905
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 2: to two. They got to play the most high profile

906
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: organization with the most high profile player in the league,

907
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, and they won,

908
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 2: and they dominated, and there were games where the Lakers

909
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 2: looked like they were in control and the Nuggets swept them.

910
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: And so it wasn't that it came down to a

911
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 2: game seven. It wasn't that it came down to an injury.

912
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't that oh, you know, Anthony Davis, you know whatever, like, oh,

913
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 2: the Nuggets were just the better team all series long.

914
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: And so I was happy that they got that moment.

915
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: I know the moment was short lived because of Lebron's comments,

916
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: but I also feel like they did get that moment

917
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 2: where everybody's kind of looked around, like, this team's really

918
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 2: freaking awesome. Jokich is awesome, the role players are awesome.

919
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray is awesome. So I was really happy about that. Jason,

920
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: by the way, a one point lead for Boston about

921
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: thirty seconds left. As Jason Tatum attacks the rim, Miami

922
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: has the ball with under thirty seconds to go down one. Jason,

923
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.

924
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 3: It's incredible. It really is. And I mean, Butler's having

925
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 3: one of the worst knights you've ever seen. But the

926
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 3: last like three four minutes, well, Duncan Robinson there made

927
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: a few in a row.

928
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson's having a worst night because he has missed

929
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 2: two wide open threes, both of one would have tied

930
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 2: the game at one hundred. This one would have given

931
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: the Heat a two point lead. He misses a three,

932
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 2: Boston gets the ball and is filed. They're up one hundred,

933
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 2: and they're up one on one, one hundred with sixteen

934
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 2: seconds left. I apologize, Jason, I mean to cut you up.

935
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I mean you're not wrong. I mean you

936
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: actually look at Duncan Robinson. Overall, he's three or six

937
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: from three, but the two, but the three misses, two

938
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: of them that you just mentioned, absolutely critical here. It's

939
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 3: amazing that they're this close though, considering where they were

940
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 3: two or three game minutes ago. The fact that they

941
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 3: actually have a shot here is amazing.

942
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: They do Marcus Smart misses the front end of a

943
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: one and one, Miami will have the ball back down

944
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 2: two with the Balljimmy Butler. This is very reminiscent by

945
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: the way of Game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals

946
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: last year, where obviously Jimmy Butler missed a shot at

947
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 2: the buzzer that would have sent the Miami Heat to

948
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 2: the finals. And oh my goodness, Jason, we can't do

949
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: play by play, but Jimmy, Jimmy Butler, with two seconds

950
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: left in this game just got fouled. It appears as

951
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: though he was attempting a three pointer. We will confirm

952
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: on video replay. It's hard to tell from the angle

953
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 2: we have here. He is going to the fall line

954
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 2: to shoot at least two file shots, maybe three. And

955
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: Miami is trailing by two with two seconds left. So

956
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 2: do we have all of that? Have I contextualized it correctly?

957
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler fouled shooting the Miami Heat trail by two.

958
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 2: He is going to the line for at least two

959
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 2: maybe three. They are going to the monitor right now, Jason,

960
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: what do we open the show with at ten pm Eastern?

961
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 2: This is an awesome time slot. We are blessed. Do

962
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 2: what we do in this specific listen. We have a

963
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: lot of great hosts on these airwaves. Chris Bussar, Rob Parker,

964
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 2: Doug Gottlieb, Colin Cowherds, Cavino and rich On and on.

965
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,720
Speaker 2: They will all be reacting to this game on Monday

966
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 2: and Tuesday. We get to do it in real time

967
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 2: as we are waiting to see whether Jimmy Butler will

968
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: be shooting two or three foul shots here. Unbelievable stuff.

969
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: Unbelievable stuff.

970
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, And every angle that I've seen of it so far,

971
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 3: you can't tell because you can't see his feet because

972
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 3: there's so many people and they're so close and I

973
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 3: mean the fans. So I have no idea, Like, I

974
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 3: still haven't seen anything that gives me any impression. But

975
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: the idea that Jimmy Butler could have three free throws

976
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: is kind of incredible.

977
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 2: This is what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a

978
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: quick break. As they go to the monitor again, Miami

979
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 2: trails by two with two seconds left, Jimmy Butler has

980
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 2: been fouled. They are at the monitor looking to see

981
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 2: whether it is a two or a three. We're gonna

982
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: come back. We're gonna react in real time to the

983
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 2: end of a thriller in Game six. This is Fox

984
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports Radio Erturus Jason

985
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 2: Martin broadcasting live Fromthetireq dot Com studios. Jason, when I.

986
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 8: Tell you we just had one of the craziest endings

987
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 8: in NBA history, Listen, sometimes people in our business, and

988
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 8: I'm probably one of them, you can get into hyperbole

989
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 8: on things. We just had one of the craziest finishes

990
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 8: in NBA history for people who did not see it live.

991
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 2: Let me set it up, Jason. We're gonna have full

992
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 2: reaction pretty much from now until we get off air

993
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 2: at about two am Eastern time. When we last left you,

994
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat trailed by two with two seconds left

995
00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: in the game. Jimmy Butler had been fouled. We could

996
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: not tell if it was a two or a three.

997
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: Go to the monitor. We come back. It was a

998
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: three pointer that Jimmy Butler attempted. He got three free throws.

999
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, trailing two, goes to the foul line, makes

1000
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: all three free throws to give the Miami Heat a

1001
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 2: one point lead with three point seconds left. With three

1002
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 2: seconds left, Boston gets the ball back in bounds the

1003
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 2: ball to Marcus Smart. I thought Marcus Smart took a

1004
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,479
Speaker 2: bad early shot. He caught it and immediately shot the ball.

1005
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 2: Immediately shot the ball. It hits off the rim. Derek

1006
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 2: White with the put back as time expires to give

1007
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics a one point win in Miami in

1008
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 2: Game six, So again, Jimmy Butler three free throws to

1009
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 2: give Miami the lead with one second win with three

1010
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: seconds left, an errant Marcus Smart shot Derek White with

1011
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: the put back. We're gonna have full sound, We're gonna

1012
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 2: have reaction from the podium. The guys in the back

1013
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: are busting their butt. I know they are. But Jason,

1014
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: sometimes there's hyperbole. This is not it. That was one

1015
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 2: of the craziest endings in NBA basketball history.

1016
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 3: Truly wild, making all three free throws for Butler on

1017
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: a night where he wasn't doing a whole lot offensively,

1018
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 3: but there in that last five minutes. That's what I

1019
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 3: was talking about when I said, if Miami was gonna

1020
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 3: win it, it was gonna take one of those Jimmy Butler

1021
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,399
Speaker 3: kind of moments. And he gave. He gave him one,

1022
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: and then they took a time out. Boston took a

1023
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 3: time out, and you actually could see during the timeout

1024
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: Butler saying one stop. Yep, it's basically what he was saying,

1025
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 3: one stop more in the NBA Finals. And they got

1026
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: it right because Marcus Smart took a bad shot. It

1027
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 3: was off balance, it was really just and it actually

1028
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 3: was closer than it looked. And because the way it

1029
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 3: came off the rim and it was like in and out,

1030
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 3: Derek White was able to just kind of tip it up.

1031
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 3: And when you say as time expired, the ball hit

1032
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 3: his fingers with two tenths of a second left, and

1033
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 3: it was clear at one one tenth of a second.

1034
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 3: I mean literally, this was as close to not counting

1035
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 3: as you could possibly get. And you go back and

1036
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 3: you see, no, he did it by about a tenth

1037
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 3: of a second. And Boston ends up winning by one.

1038
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 3: And now we've got a Game seven on Monday night,

1039
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 3: which is gonna be unreal. But that is that is insane.

1040
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 3: Everything that took place in that last stretch, that's I'm

1041
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 3: not sure I will forget that one. Like we've we've

1042
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 3: had some crazy things happened during this time slot, but

1043
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 3: that one right there, that one's gonna that's gotta be

1044
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 3: up there. That might be the greatest one I've seen.

1045
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 3: I think Georgia, Ohio State when you weren't there, when

1046
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,439
Speaker 3: it was me and Arnie that night, maybe right there,

1047
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 3: just because of how that finish played out. But man,

1048
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 3: incredible and what heartbreak for Miami because you feel like

1049
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 3: you got it. You see Marcus Smart take that shot.

1050
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 3: You feel like you've got it, and now you've got

1051
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: to fly to Boston and play this team forty eight

1052
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: more minutes when you already had three cracks to beat them,

1053
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 3: one time to knock them out, and now all the

1054
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: momentum is with them, all the pressure I think is

1055
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 3: still on you if you're Miami. I don't even know

1056
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 3: what to say. That was wild, that that was insane.

1057
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 3: That was sports, folks. That's why there are channels that

1058
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 3: you were listening to wherever you happen to be hearing

1059
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 3: us tonight, and we appreciate it. That's why there's channels

1060
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,240
Speaker 3: devoted to this stuff because you just can't write anything

1061
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 3: like this. Bernie Fredo often says it's the greatest reality

1062
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 3: show on television, and tonight proved it again. You just

1063
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 3: you couldn't have dreamed that scenario up. That was perfect

1064
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:51,240
Speaker 3: from a dramatic standpoint. And look tomorrow night on HBO's finale.

1065
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 3: Series finale is Succession. You got the series finale of Barry.

1066
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 3: You got some of the great prestige TV shows of

1067
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 3: a generation coming to an end, and I'm not sure

1068
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 3: any of them can stick the landing the way Boston

1069
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 3: and Miami just did to end Game six.

1070
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, my only I mean, listen, there's so many takeaways.

1071
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 2: First of all, I do feel bad for the Miami Heat.

1072
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 2: You know, the rally, as we've said throughout this show,

1073
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: a game where they did not get their best from

1074
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: their best players. But Jimmy Butler, in true you know,

1075
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: superstar fashion, I mean, there's that's the only other way

1076
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 2: to put it, you know, in true superstar fashion, this

1077
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: guy single handedly put that team on his back. Hit

1078
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 2: a couple big shots, got to the foul line. He's

1079
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: been banged up all game. You know, I go back

1080
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 2: to and it's not the reason that they lost, but

1081
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 2: but you know, two wide open threes missed by Duncan

1082
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: Robinson that would have put him in better position. But

1083
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, I know the stat sheet is gonna say

1084
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: he finished this game five for twenty one from the field,

1085
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 2: but he also was twelve for fourteen for the file line.

1086
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 2: So you know, the one thing that stands out is

1087
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 2: you want your great players in great moments to step up.

1088
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,359
Speaker 2: And that is exactly what Jimmy Butler did on an

1089
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: otherwise forgettable night. He was incredible the final four to

1090
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: five minutes of that game. The second thing, and they

1091
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 2: still have to win game seven. But one, I don't

1092
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: know how you come back and win that game. I mean, yeah,

1093
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: I'll give you an analogy that Boston fans probably won't

1094
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 2: like hearing, but it's almost like, you know, people forget

1095
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 2: the Bill Buckner game. The Mets still had to come

1096
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: back and win a game seven after that. That was

1097
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 2: Game six, But the Red Sox weren't winning that game

1098
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 2: in the They weren't winning that game and winning that

1099
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 2: World Series in the manner that they lost Game six.

1100
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 2: And I just don't know how, Miami. Now you gotta

1101
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 2: fly back, as you said to Boston, and I mean,

1102
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: I'm stunned. One My only other thought is, and you

1103
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: see this sometimes, you know, the term team of destiny

1104
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 2: gets thrown around too much. I'm not saying Boston is that,

1105
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 2: but I mean, you talk about a moment where, again

1106
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 2: it's cliche, but it's true. They they missed that shot,

1107
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart shot goes out of bounds. Whatever we're talking about.

1108
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 2: Do you gotta trade Jalen Brown, Do you gotta blow

1109
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 2: up this team? Do you gotta fire Joe Mizula? Something

1110
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 2: you and I talked about last week. That feels like

1111
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 2: a moment that is going to send them to the finals.

1112
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 2: And at this point, with the momentum that they're gonna

1113
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 2: have with the Nuggets, and I know there's a Game seven,

1114
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 2: so I don't want to get too far ahead of myself,

1115
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 2: but that feels like a moment where if the Celtics

1116
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 2: are celebrating an NBA title a few weeks from now,

1117
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 2: this feels like the moment where we say, oh, they

1118
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 2: might be. That was when we should have known they

1119
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 2: were a team of destiny right there. They were a

1120
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 2: shot away, a tipping away from going home. And now

1121
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 2: there's a Game seven in Boston on Monday night.

1122
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 3: Chase, I mean, the ball had to come off the

1123
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 3: rim the way that it did, had to come off

1124
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 3: the rim that quickly.

1125
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: By the way, and Marcus Smart had to inadvertently, and

1126
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: I think he did shoot. I know a basketball person

1127
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 2: will say, oh, he put it on the rim so

1128
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 2: they would have time for a putback. No, I think

1129
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,720
Speaker 2: that was a bad, ill time shot with three seconds.

1130
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 2: But continue if he hadn't. If he had put up

1131
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: that shot with you know, two four on the clock

1132
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 2: instead of two nine, this game's over, Miami's going to

1133
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 2: the finals. So that's part of it too. Was I

1134
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 2: don't think it was a good shot for Marcus Smart,

1135
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 2: but it ended up working out for them.

1136
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 3: Jason, I don't either. Now I watched the replay. It

1137
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 3: looked a little better on the replay. They just showed

1138
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 3: it again and I was able to kind of look

1139
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 3: at it, and I can understand why Marcus Smart would

1140
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 3: take that, and he might have thought nobody else was

1141
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 3: gonna get a better look over the next second and

1142
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 3: a half. He was taller than the guy was guarding him.

1143
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 3: But again, everything had to be perfect for that tip in,

1144
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:40,439
Speaker 3: and somehow it was. It's definitely obviously if Boston wins

1145
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 3: were gonna be going back and looking at this, no

1146
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 3: question about it. You can call the team of Destiny

1147
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 3: or or whatever you want.

1148
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 7: To do.

1149
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 3: But this is a team again that when you think

1150
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 3: that they have been beaten, that's when you're in trouble.

1151
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 3: Remember Doc Rivers even said that before Game seven, he

1152
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 3: was just like, man, I've seen I've been a part

1153
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 3: a lot of these. I've seen a lot of these

1154
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 3: Boston Game seven, in these situations and things like that.

1155
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 3: Now here comes the problem. So now you've got three

1156
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 3: games to three. When you asked me earlier about Boston,

1157
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 3: I told you that when they have expectations, that's a

1158
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 3: lot of times when they tend to falter. They play

1159
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 3: a lot better when their backs are against the wall.

1160
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 3: They play a lot better when they can play the

1161
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 3: chip on your shoulder card. All of that, they're the

1162
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 3: two seed, and now you're even, and it's just whoever

1163
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: goes out and wins on Monday, like it's a national

1164
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 3: championship in college basketball. All of a sudden, whoever wins

1165
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,919
Speaker 3: on Monday's going to the NBA Finals. Other teams going home.

1166
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: We don't have to worry about it being three to

1167
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 3: zero three all of that. At this point in time,

1168
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 3: it's one game. Boston should win the game. They've got

1169
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 3: it at home, they aren't missing the six Guy of

1170
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 3: the Year like Tyler Herro missing with Miami. They got

1171
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 3: their superstars, they're healthy, it's in their building, it's one night.

1172
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 3: They're the two seed. They're gonna be the home court

1173
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 3: advantage of the NBA Final if they win, which means

1174
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 3: they had a great regular season, a better regular season

1175
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 3: certainly than the Miami Heat. So now they've got the

1176
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 3: expectations again because I expect them to win. They should win.

1177
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 3: I don't care that it's never been done before. I

1178
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 3: think the usual reason it's never been done before coming

1179
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 3: back from three is because a team that falls behind

1180
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 3: three to zero is usually demonstrably worse than the other team.

1181
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 3: In this case, that wasn't really true. Miami was playing

1182
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 3: above themselves and Boston was regressing to kind of a

1183
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 3: mediocre version of themselves. But if these two teams are

1184
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 3: both at their best, Boston should win. So now I

1185
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 3: want to see if Boston can play because I think

1186
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 3: the expectation is they'll win the game on Monday.

1187
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 2: So two quick thoughts on that. One. I saw a

1188
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 2: stat that I believe there's been three times in NBA

1189
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 2: history where a team is trailed three and forced to

1190
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 2: Game seven. All three have lost, but all three had

1191
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 2: to play on the road in Game seven, so it

1192
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 2: was the inferior team. So there's that. And then I

1193
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 2: have to give a shout out to our boardop Chris Purffett,

1194
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 2: who brought this up to me a moment ago. I

1195
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw this, Jason. I know you

1196
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 2: don't spend much time on social media these days, but

1197
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 2: after the Celtics fell down three, there was some sort

1198
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 2: of ESPN stats and infographic about like they still had

1199
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 2: like a sixty one percent chance to win the series

1200
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 2: or something, and just the Internet just crushed whatever metric

1201
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 2: this was.

1202
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically, from what I understand about those, it's it's

1203
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 4: it's going off historical data, and I think that historical

1204
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 4: model whatever they were using, just looked at the Heat

1205
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 4: as an eight seed and just assumed that that trumped

1206
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 4: everything else. That trump three to zero, everything else. It's

1207
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 4: just it's an eight seed.

1208
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 2: They won't win, and you look at all the stuff

1209
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: that we've talked about earlier in the show, is that

1210
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: the Heat really don't have a second star behind Jimmy Butler.

1211
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Respect to bam Adebayo for who he's become, but he's

1212
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 2: not really that dude. Also, obviously you know Game seven

1213
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 2: would be in Boston. I mean there were a lot

1214
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 2: of variables. But yes, Christy your point. It was something

1215
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 2: that got obliterated on social media, and I think fairly.

1216
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll come back with

1217
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 2: more reaction. Also, do much like last Saturday, do you

1218
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 2: want to open up the phone lines? People's reaction is

1219
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 2: Miami cooked? Is there any chance that you see them

1220
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 2: going into Boston and winning a Game seven on Monday night,

1221
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 2: Memorial Day. We're gonna discuss that next to phone lines

1222
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 2: by the way, one eight seven seven ninety nine on

1223
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 2: Fox one eight seven seven nine nine six six three

1224
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 2: six nine. Again one eight seven seven nine nine six

1225
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 2: six three six nine. We want your reaction. Is there

1226
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 2: any chance that Miami has a chance to go into

1227
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 2: Boston and win Game seven? Jason and I will discuss

1228
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: that next, But first let's toss over the news desk.

1229
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 2: Steve to saga, what's trending? I mean, I know it's trending,

1230
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: but but the flora is hers to say.

1231
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Buzzes sounded was on?

1232
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 6: They did countance, They did look at it. Derek White,

1233
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 6: the hero for the Boston Celtics, their season still alive.

1234
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 6: And what you mentioned how rare this is from somebody

1235
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 6: down three in a series to come back and even

1236
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 6: managed to force a Game seven. That was the nineteen

1237
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 6: fifty one Nicks Denver in nineteen ninety four, Portland in

1238
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 6: two thousand and three. All three of those lost Game seven.

1239
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 6: All three of those played Game seven on the road.

1240
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 6: Boston will be home. They are the two seed in

1241
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 6: the East. I will say Boston in its last twenty

1242
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 6: home playoff games nine and eleven. The record five and

1243
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 6: five at home this year, so it's not automatic that

1244
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 6: the home team is going to take it. It will

1245
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 6: be a Monday night Game seven in Boston, though, as

1246
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 6: the East Finals are not quite done. And we saw

1247
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 6: a guy in the first half tonight for the Boston Celtics,

1248
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum scored twenty five points. He finished with thirty one.

1249
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 6: This guy has nearly two in eight hundred points this season,

1250
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 6: regular season and playoffs combined. That's number two in Celtic's

1251
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 6: long history for one season, trailing only Larry Bird nineteen

1252
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 6: eighty five. But you're right, this was one of the

1253
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 6: great finishes in the NBA playoffs because what separates it

1254
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 6: from the others. The Celtics were three seconds away from

1255
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 6: the season being over.

1256
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 2: Well and Jimmy Butler had to make three foul shots

1257
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: in a row to put it into the situation where

1258
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 2: obviously it still would have been a game winner. But

1259
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 2: like you said, the season is on the line. If

1260
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler even misses one. I mean, if obviously he

1261
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 2: misses two or more, the game's over. But then if

1262
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 2: he makes if he misses one, then we're going to

1263
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 2: overtime in a worst case scenario. To your point to Seger,

1264
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 2: he makes all three, the Celtics season was on the line.

1265
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 6: And then we heard the call from Kevin Harlan TNT

1266
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 6: that on the putback at the buzzer by Derek White,

1267
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 6: Boston wins one oh four to one oh three at Miami.

1268
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 6: As far as other great finishes, the irony is this

1269
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 6: is somewhat similar to the very famous young Michael Jordan

1270
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 6: playoff shot over craig Elo to beat Cleveland that eliminated

1271
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 6: an opponent, which is what this did not do tonight.

1272
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 6: But the Bulls were facing elimination because that was game

1273
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 6: five of a best of five. The irony it was

1274
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 6: Craig Elo with three seconds left that put his team

1275
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 6: ahead by one. Jordan came back and scored the jumper

1276
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 6: at the buzzer to beat Elo and the Cavs. That

1277
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 6: was nineteen eighty nine. And let's not forget one of

1278
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 6: the great finishes we've ever seen in the NBA playoffs

1279
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 6: Kawhi Leonard a few years ago with the jumper at

1280
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 6: the buzzer of a Game seven that hit the rim

1281
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 6: four times and went in and eliminated Philadelphia. Exactly here,

1282
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna have a Game seven of the Eastern Conference

1283
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 6: Finals in Boston on Monday night. What a finish this evening.

1284
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 6: And Miami was down ten, Yes, with under four minutes

1285
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 6: to go two separate.

1286
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 2: Times in the fourth quarter. I believe they were down ten.

1287
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 6: Eric Spolster has had a winning record when trailing by

1288
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 6: ten in this postseason. It's just crazy. This was the

1289
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 6: fourth time that they win a game down ten. They

1290
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 6: almost pulled this out instead a home loss in Boston's

1291
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 6: home on Monday night.

1292
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

1293
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 6: Milwaukee's new head coach will reportedly be Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin.

1294
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 6: Dallas and the hockey playoffs still alive in the West

1295
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 6: Final one at Vegas four to two, with back to

1296
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 6: back goals in the third, Golden Knight's lead in the

1297
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 6: series three games to two. This Dallas Stars win this

1298
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 6: evening extends the series and it means the Stanley Cup

1299
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 6: Finals will not start until next Saturday, June the third.

1300
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 6: We'll see about whether for NASCAR's six hundred at Charlotte tomorrow.

1301
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 6: It's due to be on Fox TV six pm Eastern time,

1302
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 6: but today's Infinity Race was rained out postponed to Monday.

1303
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 6: Practice and qualifying were each rained out today to Major

1304
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 6: League Baseball, sho Heyo Tani, starting pitcher for the Angels. Tonight,

1305
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 6: Marlins lead in Anaheim two to one over the Halos.

1306
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,959
Speaker 6: The Mets were down six to nothing early with Justin

1307
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 6: Verlander on the mound. Mets have come back for a

1308
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 6: seven to six lead at the Rockies in the bottom

1309
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 6: of the seventh inning. Craziness in the NBA, and the

1310
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 6: series is not done yet. Jimmy Butler, as of late

1311
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 6: in the game, was three of nineteen shooting from the floor,

1312
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 6: and he was three seconds away from being the hero

1313
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 6: of the game and getting him onto the finals. I'm

1314
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 6: glad you mentioned earlier that it was a year ago

1315
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 6: these two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston eliminated

1316
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 6: the Heat, holding on to win a Game seven at

1317
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 6: Miami as Jimmy Butler missed a late jumper.

1318
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 2: Then back to you, thank you very much, Steve the Sager,

Speaker 2: people on the phones, Jason. We'll get to that momentarily.

1327
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 2: But two quick things stand out about this one from

1328
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat perspective. So, like we're both I mean,

1329
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to over dramaticize this. It's sports. Anything

1330
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 2: can happen. We both think that it's gonna be really

1331
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 2: hard for Miami to emotionally, spiritually come back and win

1332
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 2: a Game seven in Boston, right Like, not just because

1333
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 2: it's it's a game seven on the road, and I

1334
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 2: know that Sega had that incredible stat nine and eleven.

1335
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 2: Boston is in their last ten or the last twenty

1336
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 2: home games, but you lose in the manner that you did.

1337
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 2: As Jimmy Butler MOUs maw to his team one stop

1338
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 2: away from a trip to the NBA Finals, I just

1339
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be so so, so hard for this

1340
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 2: team to come back.

1341
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I would say that it would be more

1342
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 3: impressive to me if they win Game seven than the

1343
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 3: three to zero lead that they had over a two

1344
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 3: seed or the fact that they beat Milwaukee, Like that

1345
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 3: would be the biggest achievement, not because of sending them

1346
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 3: to the NBA Finals, but because it seems so likely

1347
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 3: because the come down moment that they experienced tonight. How

1348
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 3: do you then go on a plane and live your

1349
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 3: best life in that building when they have all the

1350
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 3: momentum against you. I mean, that might be the kind

1351
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,560
Speaker 3: of thing where Jimmy Butler comes out and has the

1352
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 3: opposite kind of game of the one he had tonight

1353
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 3: and makes everything he takes and we're still watching the

1354
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 3: heat in the finals. But it just seems like I

1355
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 3: can't give him more than about a ten percent chance,

1356
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 3: And that even feels like I'm being generous. It just

1357
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 3: feels like they lost the series tonight.

1358
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 2: I agree well, and and the other part too. You know,

1359
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, I know he was heroically, but what was

1360
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 2: it five for twenty one? He was in this game?

1361
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 2: You know, you look back to some of the previous games.

1362
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 2: Obviously played pretty well, you know, throughout the series, but

1363
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 2: fourteen points the other night, you start to wonder if

1364
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 2: he's wearing down. And again it's just a matter of

1365
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 2: do they have enough guy around him because he looks

1366
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 2: dead tired, almost like Lebron and some of those late

1367
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 2: games against Denver where it's like, you know, Lebron scores whatever,

1368
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 2: thirty something in the first half, but does he have

1369
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 2: twenty you know, twenty four minutes left in him? I

1370
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 2: kind of feel the same way with Jimmy Butler. I

1371
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 2: want to ask you this, Jason. From the Celtics perspective,

1372
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 2: is let's say somehow it doesn't happen and Miami somehow,

1373
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 2: you know, kind of summons enough to win Game seven.

1374
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 2: From your perspective, do you believe like, and I know

1375
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 2: we're in the moment, but is this still a if

1376
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: you fall short? Something has to change, Whether it's Joe Mizzoula.

1377
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,400
Speaker 2: Whether it's a big trade obviously the talk this week,

1378
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 2: and I think everybody knows, but Jalen Brown is due

1379
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 2: for a massive extension. You're gonna be paying Jason Tatum

1380
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 2: a ton of money. Those guys would be eating up

1381
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 2: a ton of your cap space if they were to fall.

1382
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 2: Do you think they've done enough by forcing a game seven?

1383
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 2: They would be at that point, a game away from

1384
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 2: back to back NBA Finals. Have they done enough in

1385
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 2: your opinion to run things back for twenty twenty three,

1386
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:04,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four.

1387
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 3: Maybe I still could see Brown being out, and I

1388
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 3: definitely could see Mizola being out because you mentioned it.

1389
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 3: Brown is in line for a lot of money, and

1390
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some other teams that would be willing

1391
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 3: to pay it. And I'm not sure that Boston, if

1392
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 3: they missed the finals, will see that pairing with Tatum

1393
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 3: as ideal. Maybe there's a better option for them out there.

1394
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 3: When you look at Missola, his problem is he wasn't

1395
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,480
Speaker 3: the guy that was hired. He's the guy that inherited

1396
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 3: the job because of the circumstances of Udoka. So it's

1397
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 3: not like he has any kind of tenure or any

1398
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 3: kind of equity built up, and you might look at

1399
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 3: that and say that could cost him his job, because

1400
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 3: we've seen higher profile guys lose their jobs. Though when

1401
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 3: their teams have exited. You could see Boston bucking that

1402
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 3: trend and trying to turn this into a unity moment, saying,

1403
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,680
Speaker 3: you know what, everybody's coming back, We're gonna run this

1404
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 3: thing back again. I could see it, but I tend

1405
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 3: to think something would change.

1406
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, I'm not you know, I know that

1407
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 2: sometimes in our business, you know, I hate people that

1408
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 2: say I'd never call for another man's job. It's like, well,

1409
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: if you suck at your job, I'm gonna call for it.

1410
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 2: But I bring it up to say I don't know

1411
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 2: that I feel that way about Joe Mazzula, like he

1412
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 2: has shown me something the last three games, because it

1413
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 2: looked like they had completely quit on the guy in

1414
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 2: game three, and so I guess I would have to

1415
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 2: see how Game seven unfolds. And I don't know that

1416
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 2: I have a strong opinion about it right now. I

1417
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 2: think it's an interesting conversation. I don't know that I

1418
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 2: have a strong opinion because I do think the one

1419
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 2: thing is, as you said, well two things. One, as

1420
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 2: you said this, he was not you know, he was

1421
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 2: not the guy. I mean it was i may Adoka.

1422
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 2: And then obviously their top assistant, Will Hardy left in

1423
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 2: the offseason having no reason to believe that he may

1424
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 2: Aadoka wouldn't be the head coach. So Joe Mizula was

1425
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 2: basically third in line as of a year ago, with

1426
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 2: no indication that he was going to get this job.

1427
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 2: So that's one, and then two. I think the other

1428
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 2: thing which has to be discussed as the SEGA just

1429
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 2: told you, Milwaukee has hired their head coach, and you

1430
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 2: look at that big three of championship caliber coaches that

1431
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 2: are still out there, Nick Nurse, Budenholzer, and of course

1432
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 2: Monty Williams as well. I know Monny Williams hasn't won

1433
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 2: a championship, but obviously he had the Suns in the

1434
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,920
Speaker 2: finals a few years ago. So I just bring it

1435
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 2: up to say that's the part that has me a

1436
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: little I guess you could say tripped up is that

1437
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have to fire him if it

1438
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 2: doesn't work or if you lose Game seven, but I

1439
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 2: think it's something that probably would have to be considered. Uh,

1440
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 2: just because of the quality of coaches out there. I'll

1441
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 2: tell you what will come back. More reaction to Game

1442
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 2: six of the Eastern Conference Finals. If you missed it,

1443
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 2: a Derek White put back at the buzzer gives the

1444
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 2: Celtics a one point win, allowing them to force a

1445
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 2: game seven. By the way, if you want to call in,

1446
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 2: we got a few people on the line right now,

1447
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 2: one eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox one eight

1448
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 2: seven seven nine nine six six three six nine. Let's

1449
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 2: open up those phone lines if you want to call in.

1450
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,759
Speaker 2: Is there any way Miami can go back to Boston

1451
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 2: and win Game seven? We continue this conversation next Fox Sports.

1452
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 9: Are you this is the height of prussure, the moment

1453
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 9: we'll be replaying over and over and over again.

1454
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 2: It's in the hands of Derek White.

1455
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 3: Here we go.

1456
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 9: It a smart smart turns.

1457
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 3: Phase is three ripped out.

1458
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 9: It was top ducking in, but it didn't come too late.

1459
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: We don't know anything yet. All eyes or on.

1460
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 9: Zach zar By at the scorer's table because he holds

1461
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 9: the information in his hand.

1462
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 2: Right now, Chris confirmed, good basketball.

1463
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 9: It is over and the bust at Celtics have boodly

1464
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,879
Speaker 9: and impossibly gone where no NBA team has gone before.

1465
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 9: Down three to zero, they have forced a seventh and

1466
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,839
Speaker 9: deciding game at the buzzer.

1467
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 2: That was Celtics Radio Network. If you missed the end

1468
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 2: of the Celtics Heat game Game six, absolute insanity. Jimmy

1469
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 2: Butler followed with two point one seconds left, which is

1470
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 2: another conversation for our three. He makes all three file

1471
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 2: shots to give the Miami Heat a one point lead

1472
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,839
Speaker 2: they trailed by two. Jimmy Butler makes three file shots,

1473
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 2: and what you just heard was at the buzzer. Celtics

1474
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 2: put up a shot Marcus Smart, It's no good. It

1475
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 2: is rebounded by Derek White a putback, and the Boston

1476
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 2: Celtics have one Game six at the buzzer. They are

1477
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 2: headed home for Game seven, and they are trying to

1478
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 2: overcome an O three series lead to become the first

1479
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 2: team ever, the first team ever to overcome an O

1480
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: three series lead. We want to open up the phone

1481
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 2: lines one eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox one

1482
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,560
Speaker 2: eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.

1483
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, Jason Martin, you talk about the

1484
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 2: reach of Fox Sports Radio. Ben In Australia is on

1485
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 2: the phone. Ben First of all, like what time? What

1486
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 2: time is it right now? And what day is it?

1487
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't need to be an ugly American that is unsophisticated.

1488
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 2: What time is it in Australia right now?

1489
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 10: It's ten to two on a Sunday afternoon, ten to two.

1490
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 2: You're talking to us from the future. What is Sunday?

1491
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 2: What is Sunday May twenty eighth? Like, what is that?

1492
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 2: What do we need to know about tomorrow? Besides that

1493
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 2: the Celtics are headed home to win this series.

1494
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 10: We're heading into winter now, am I? So it's all

1495
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 10: getting pretty cold? Now I have to stay for a

1496
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 10: walk with a little guy.

1497
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, so you're out for a walk, you're obviously

1498
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 2: in front of a television or maybe you were listening

1499
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 2: to Fox Sports radio. What's your reaction and most importantly,

1500
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 2: do you think there's anyway this is going to be

1501
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,679
Speaker 2: the conversation of the next thirty six to forty eight hours.

1502
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 2: Is there any way Miami can go home, go go

1503
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 2: on the road, excuse me, to Boston and win a

1504
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 2: Game seven?

1505
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 10: You'd like to think so, but I reckon that put

1506
01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 10: just a bit everything that I had into this part

1507
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 10: push coming down from ten point, finish it out how

1508
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 10: they did. But I gotta say, Jerry Mizzooler is lucky

1509
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 10: that Derry White got that shot in because originally Jimmy

1510
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 10: Butler had been called two points on the fail. It

1511
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,240
Speaker 10: wasn't until the review on the fail that I'm posit

1512
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 10: had done did they sat back and looked and said

1513
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 10: it was three points. So that game Jimmy Butler the

1514
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 10: three point crack.

1515
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 3: That's true.

1516
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree. I think it's just I just think,

1517
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,799
Speaker 2: by the way, Ben, thank you for the call. Enjoy

1518
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 2: the walk, and we will keep you entertaining here because there's.

1519
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 3: By the way, I like how that was put Like

1520
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 3: I reckon they put all into that last push. Yeah,

1521
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 3: I reckon. You're right. Like I want to give I

1522
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 3: want to give back and give prefet props. I want

1523
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 3: to give Christophet props for the rejoin music there. Out

1524
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 3: of touch? What was the touch in by Derek White?

1525
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 3: Out of time? Not quite but two tenths of a second,

1526
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 3: almost out of time? And now we got forty eight

1527
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 3: more minutes of game time to determine who's going to

1528
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 3: represent the East in the NBA Finals, I wet your heads.

1529
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 3: The one exactly the one thing that I will say,

1530
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 3: and this is this is gonna give me pause going

1531
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 3: into this game Monday night. The talk that we're already having,

1532
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 3: the way we're discussing it, the way everybody else is

1533
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 3: gonna discuss it. Be real careful of pushing this in

1534
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 3: the other direction where you give the chip on the

1535
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 3: shoulder back to Miami, and then they do go back

1536
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 3: into Boston and win against a team that hasn't been

1537
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:34,480
Speaker 3: very good at home in the playoffs, because I guarantee

1538
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 3: you virtually nobody's gonna give Miami a chance. And if

1539
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 3: I'm Miami, that's the best that's the best possible feeling

1540
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 3: I can have going into this because I can build

1541
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 3: off of that.

1542
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 2: Well and think about this whole series. Right, Nobody gave

1543
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 2: Miami a chance in Game one, then they steal game Wow,

1544
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 2: they're not gonna take two in a row in Boston.

1545
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 2: Then they take two in a row in Boston. Well,

1546
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 2: then they come home. Well, I mean, I know they're

1547
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 2: at home, but they're they're not gonna go up three

1548
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 2: to zero on the celt there's too much pride. They

1549
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 2: go up three to zero. So really, the last time

1550
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,600
Speaker 2: that we had the nobody believes in the Heat conversation

1551
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,599
Speaker 2: going was basically the first three games of the series.

1552
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 2: They won all three. Obviously, Game four, we think they're

1553
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 2: gonna sweep. They don't. Game five, well it's in Boston. Well,

1554
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 2: Game six, I mean, they gotta win this one. So

1555
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 2: this will really be the first time since Game three

1556
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 2: that I think most people will be like, ah, you know,

1557
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 2: it's probably not gonna happen. So I agree, and I

1558
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,400
Speaker 2: will say we you know. This is what you said,

1559
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 2: and what Bernie leads his show with every Saturday following

1560
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 2: us is this is why we love sports, right, is

1561
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 2: that you just look at this scenario and no one.

1562
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 2: You're right, no one over the next forty eight hours,

1563
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 2: and I'll include myself, I don't believe the Heat are

1564
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 2: gonna win. Nobody's gonna give them a chance. But this

1565
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 2: is why we love sports because the unexpected becomes the

1566
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 2: regular all the time. I wouldn't doubt the Heat, but

1567
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 2: their back is up against the wall for all the

1568
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 2: reasons that you said, Jason, as well as Ben in

1569
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 2: Australia who just called in.

1570
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the reason why and Bernie's point, and I've always

1571
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 3: loved that analogy and agree with him a million percent.

1572
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 3: Is the one thing that you know, you can knock

1573
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 3: the Marvel Cinematic Universe for through the years. And one

1574
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 3: of the big critiques of it, I guess I should say,

1575
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 3: because I'm a fan of it, but is that it's

1576
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 3: so predictable, right, like you kind of know it's a

1577
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 3: cookie cutter sort of formula as to how these movies

1578
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 3: are going to play out each time. In sports, they've

1579
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 3: actually got to play the games. We can tell you

1580
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 3: what we think is going to happen, and it can

1581
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 3: be ninety nine percent certain. It's the one percent that

1582
01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 3: gives us a business and gives us the opportunity to

1583
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 3: talk about this and make money doing it because we

1584
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 3: are all so just captivated by what could happen.

1585
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. Just an insane ending more reaction to

1586
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 2: the Celtics stealing Game six in Miami, what it means

1587
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 2: for Game seven and what it means for the finals.

1599
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 2: of the night as the Boston Celtics in just one

1600
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 2: of the most insane I don't think it's an exaggeration,

1601
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 2: one of the most insane finishes in NBA playoff history.

1602
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 2: Gonna reset it. Forgive me if you heard me say

1603
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 2: this before. But the Heat trailed by as many as

1604
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 2: ten points in the fourth quarter, come all the way back.

1605
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler is fouled with two point one seconds left. Jason,

1606
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to that in a minute. Two point

1607
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 2: one seconds left, shooting a three, goes to the line,

1608
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 2: makes all three. The Heat had trailed by two. They

1609
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,479
Speaker 2: take a one point lead. Celtics get the ball at

1610
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 2: midquart after a time out. Marcus Smart misses a fallaway three.

1611
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 2: A tip in by Derek White at the buzzer right

1612
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 2: before the buzzer allows the Celtics to steal a win.

1613
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 2: One four to one oh three is the final score.

1614
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,839
Speaker 2: Celtics win Game six. We're headed to Game seven in Boston.

1615
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 2: But Jason, I will say this, something has kind of

1616
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 2: emerged on social media that's worth monitoring and worth noting,

1617
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 2: and we don't have an answer for it yet. But

1618
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 2: have you seen well I saw it in real time, Jason,

1619
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 2: but I haven't seen an explanation as to why Jimmy

1620
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 2: Butler after his third fall shot there were two point

1621
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 2: one seconds left on the clock and the Celtics got

1622
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 2: the ball back with three seconds left on the clock,

1623
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 2: And so there's some social media conspiracy theories out there.

1624
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 2: I don't have an answer. I don't have an explanation,

1625
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 2: nor do I expect you to have it. We are

1626
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,799
Speaker 2: obviously monitoring for any statements from the NBA or anything

1627
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 2: like that. We're kind of monitoring it. But it is interesting, right,

1628
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 2: I mean, because usually you only add time if there

1629
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 2: was some weird play where the ball goes out of

1630
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 2: bounds for them to add time after a made free

1631
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 2: throw makes no sense unless, of course, they went to

1632
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 2: the monitor during the break, reviewed the play that led

1633
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 2: to the free throws and added time there. But it's

1634
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 2: certainly suspicious, and it goes without saying Miami fans are

1635
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 2: not very happy with that.

1636
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 3: James, Well, I guess we had to wait and see

1637
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:44,759
Speaker 3: what the explanation is for it. I think the thing

1638
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,280
Speaker 3: that makes it more difficult is if Harlan and the

1639
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 3: TNT crew didn't comment on the fact that they added

1640
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 3: time to the clock. And Harlan's about as good as

1641
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 3: it gets in this business, so you would think if

1642
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 3: he knew it, he would have commented all on it.

1643
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 3: And maybe it did happen and we just missed it.

1644
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 3: But look, nine tenths of a second doesn't sound like

1645
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 3: a lot, except when you realize that the game winner

1646
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 3: of the tip end came with point two left. You

1647
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 3: added four, I mean you added you know that plus

1648
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 3: point seven, but still less than a second, and it

1649
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 3: was still enough. Like if you take that off, there's

1650
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 3: no putback, there's no time for a putback. That shot

1651
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,880
Speaker 3: by smart becomes the last shot. Now. I don't know

1652
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 3: if they do something differently. I don't know what you

1653
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 3: do in this case, if you say, hey, that clock

1654
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 3: shouldn't have changed, what do you do, Like, do you

1655
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 3: say sorry about that? Miami? You still got to play

1656
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 3: game seven? Like I don't know. I mean, I guess

1657
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 3: you can't go back and fix that. But if it

1658
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 3: were to turn out that somehow this got done wrong

1659
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 3: and it shouldn't have gone to three seconds and there's

1660
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 3: not some kind of explanation for it, holy cow, is

1661
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 3: that going to be a big time controversy almost immediately,

1662
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 3: Like they need to get on this quick and they

1663
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 3: need to address it fast, because this is the kind

1664
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 3: of thing that can spiral out of control in a hurry.

1665
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, again, we'll be monitoring social media

1666
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 2: for any kind of statement, obviously, the guys in the

1667
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 2: back are monitoring all the post game. I don't know.

1668
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 2: As of right now, I have not seen, you know,

1669
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 2: an Eric Spolstra or Jimmy Butler comment on it. Jimmy

1670
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 2: Butler was just is still at the podium right now.

1671
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 2: I haven't seen obviously, if the Celtics have commented on

1672
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 2: it at all, I should mention, By the way, Mark

1673
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 2: Medina will be joining us here in just about fifteen

1674
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 2: minutes from now. Perfect timing on Mark Medina to bring

1675
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 2: him back, to bring him in because he is going

1676
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: to have some great insight, and I'm curious. I'm sure

1677
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:43,640
Speaker 2: he's working the phones right now to see if he

1678
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 2: can get any clarification. But Jason, I mean, this is

1679
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,440
Speaker 2: and by the way, maybe there's a perfectly logical explanation.

1680
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 2: Maybe they went to the monitor and it's very clear

1681
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,200
Speaker 2: that they should have had a time, But this, obviously,

1682
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not an exaggeration, like it changes the

1683
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 2: entire outcome of this game, potentially the series, potentially the

1684
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 2: NBA history, depending on what happens over the next two

1685
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 2: or three weeks. Again, Jimmy Butler fouled, goes to the

1686
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 2: line with two point one seconds left, makes all three

1687
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 2: fall shots. The Celtics get the ball back point nine

1688
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 2: seconds have been added, they hit a shot a tip in.

1689
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 2: Basically the ball is in Derek White's hands at under

1690
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 2: a half a second and so the clock would have

1691
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 2: expired by then. So you know, I don't know what

1692
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 2: else to say. We'll monitor this one, Jason, But if

1693
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 2: there is you know, like like if there is a

1694
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 2: situation where the NBA, like the NBA needs to come

1695
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 2: out with something. And I know sometimes I do think

1696
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 2: there are times where stuff gets over exaggerated on social media.

1697
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 2: This doesn't feel like one of them. This feels like

1698
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 2: here you go, somebody is tweeting and Brad and Montana

1699
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 2: is saying they added the time before the free throws.

1700
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 2: They added the time when they looked at the Butler

1701
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 2: play and the three to see if it was.

1702
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 3: A foul Okay, I mean if that's the case, then but.

1703
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 2: Why did they wait till after the file shots? I mean,

1704
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 2: I we'll get clarific, like I said, Mark Madeen is

1705
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 2: joining us here in fifteen minutes or so. But uh,

1706
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: to sayer, did you have something you want to.

1707
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 6: Add before the three foul shots?

1708
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 2: What's that?

1709
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 6: If you look at the video, it's three seconds when

1710
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 6: Butler is shooting this?

1711
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 2: Really okay?

1712
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 3: Yes?

1713
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,919
Speaker 6: And Ernie Johnson did bring it up on TNT postgame

1714
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 6: and said that essentially said nothing to see here, people.

1715
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 6: He doesn't find it.

1716
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 2: So I just made up a huge conspiracy theory.

1717
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 3: No you didn't. I mean you were reading it off

1718
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 3: social media.

1719
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 2: Insist I got all of America and apparently all of

1720
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:33,800
Speaker 2: Australia riled up with my conspiracy I.

1721
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 4: Think what people are also bringing up is that the

1722
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 4: the officiating in this game was also all over the

1723
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 4: place tonight.

1724
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 2: There was a lot of questionable.

1725
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 3: There was a lot of over officiating the night. I

1726
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:44,759
Speaker 3: mean say for both teams.

1727
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what I would say to Jason is

1728
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 2: for both teams, Yeah.

1729
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 6: Were starting free throws ribbled or something. Can we just

1730
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 6: say that Jason Tatum was fifteen for fifteen miss is

1731
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 6: one of those the end.

1732
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right.

1733
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 2: And Jimmy Buzle.

1734
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 3: Between him and between him and Jaylen Brown, I think

1735
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 3: they were.

1736
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 6: Twenty three out of twenty five.

1737
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Brown miss two of ten and then the

1738
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 3: other and Tatum goes fifteen to fifteen, Like you just

1739
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 3: can't ask for better than that.

1740
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 2: Well, and Jimmy Butler too, I mean, you know, rightly

1741
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 2: people are going to talk about him not having a

1742
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 2: great game, but twelve or fourteen from the fall line,

1743
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 2: including three shots, you know, just ic in his veins

1744
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 2: to give them the leads. So listen again for people

1745
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 2: who missed it. A tip in at the buzzer from

1746
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 2: Derek White and Jason. I know we rehashed this an

1747
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 2: hour or two. I know we talked about it. I

1748
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 2: get that this is professional sports. I get that, I

1749
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 2: get that anything can happen, and these are I just

1750
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't see the scenario where Miami can rally themselves

1751
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 2: after that loss fly into a hostile Bostal environment. Now

1752
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,120
Speaker 2: to your point, Jason, you brought up last home or

1753
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 2: I think it's an important one, is that Boston, when

1754
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 2: the pressure is on him, when people actually expect him

1755
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:09,640
Speaker 2: to do something. That's when they have historically over the

1756
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 2: last year, if you go back to last year's NBA Finals,

1757
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 2: have struggled. They have had basically the pressure off of

1758
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 2: them the last three games because nobody expected him to

1759
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 2: go three and zero in these last three. But I

1760
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: get that. I also just don't know how Miami can

1761
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 2: go into Boston after in the way that they lost too.

1762
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:29,760
Speaker 2: It's one thing if you if you lose by six

1763
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 2: and it's just not enough and Jimmy Butler has a

1764
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 2: bad night, or you know, somebody's in foul trouble, or

1765
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 2: somebody twists an ankle or gave Vincent isn't back, But

1766
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 2: to rally from down ten, to have the lead with

1767
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 2: three seconds to go. By the way, what did Ben

1768
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 2: say he reckoned that.

1769
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 3: They reckon, that they put everything out, that that last

1770
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,439
Speaker 3: run they just gave it all they had, which they did.

1771
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 3: There's no question about that.

1772
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,439
Speaker 2: I don't mean to continue to repeat myself. By the way,

1773
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler doing an extensive podium so we'll see if

1774
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 2: anything worthwhile comes out of that. But Jason, I don't

1775
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 2: mean to keep repeating myself, but it is such a

1776
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 2: tough ask in the way that they lost to now

1777
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 2: fly on the road again. The stat is only three

1778
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 2: teams have ever forced the Game seven trailing oh three,

1779
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 2: but all three of them had to go on the

1780
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:21,680
Speaker 2: road for Game seven. This one. Uh no, they excuse me.

1781
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 2: All three teams that blew a three to zero series

1782
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 2: lead had Game seven at home. Miami is obviously gonna

1783
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 2: have to go on the road again. I don't mean

1784
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,599
Speaker 2: to belabor the point. I just think it's so tough

1785
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 2: to ask this team to go to Boston in the

1786
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 2: manner in which they lost today.

1787
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 3: JAMESE, I mean, I would say this is going to

1788
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,600
Speaker 3: be the hardest game any of these heat players have

1789
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 3: ever played in their career. It's gonna be the hardest

1790
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 3: win to get. At least it won't be the hardest game.

1791
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 3: I mean they've they've probably played in games and in

1792
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 3: situations that were more difficult, but you get to this

1793
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 3: to try and actually win the game. I'm saying this

1794
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 3: is gonna be the toughest w they've ever achieved, because

1795
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 3: you're right, like, it seems almost insurmountable. I'm gonna give

1796
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,639
Speaker 3: him the chance because they do get to play the game,

1797
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 3: and Jimmy Butler is just wired different, and if he

1798
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 3: just shows up in a way that we have seen

1799
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 3: him at times throughout his career, especially in Miami, they

1800
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 3: can still win this thing. And again, I don't trust

1801
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:24,759
Speaker 3: Boston nearly as much when the expectations are on their side,

1802
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 3: and it would appear that they're gonna be wildly on

1803
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 3: their side. So yeah, there is a scenario where it

1804
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 3: can happen, but man, it seems incredibly improbable, and by

1805
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 3: the second I get less enthused about any kind of

1806
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,919
Speaker 3: a prediction going Miami's way. I mean, I picked Boston

1807
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:49,599
Speaker 3: before the postseason started to win it all, so I

1808
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 3: would assume they're gonna win Game seven as well. But

1809
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 3: with all the circumstances surrounding this, how could you not

1810
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 3: pick them? Like? I can't imagine picking against Boston in

1811
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 3: this game. If Miami does this, it's gonna be one

1812
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,639
Speaker 3: of the more impressive victories you will ever see. Because

1813
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 3: they were on the top of the mountain and they

1814
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 3: were pushed off it, and now they're at the bottom

1815
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 3: and they have to climb all the way back up

1816
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 3: to that peak again, and they're exhausted and they're tired.

1817
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 3: They already felt like it was almost time to celebrate,

1818
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 3: and then they've watched it crumble underneath them three times,

1819
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,959
Speaker 3: and this one right here was like being stabbed five times,

1820
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,080
Speaker 3: like right in the face, like this this is about

1821
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 3: as hard a loss as you're ever gonna see. As well.

1822
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 3: They've got to get over this, get on a plane,

1823
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:37,439
Speaker 3: fly to Boston, play against a team that had a

1824
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 3: great regular season and has stars all over the floor themselves.

1825
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 3: That is, that is a task that if they pull

1826
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 3: it off, we should all give them a standing ovation

1827
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 3: at the end of it. I know they blew a

1828
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 3: three to zero lead to make it a game seven.

1829
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 3: I understand that, but this wind should be worth about

1830
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 3: five because it's gonna be real tough.

1831
01:31:56,720 --> 01:32:00,479

1832
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,519

1858
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 2: Was something thrown?

1859
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 3: Was?

1860
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 2: What were their screams? Where were you when Derek White's

1861
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 2: shot went through the basket tonight?

1862
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:43,840
Speaker 11: Nothing was thrown. Thankfully, I hear that My reaction isn't

1863
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:46,400
Speaker 11: as dramatic. It was what your guys reaction was in

1864
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 11: the studio. Oh, I just yelled out. Was a bunch

1865
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:52,440
Speaker 11: of expletives and I can't believe this is happening. But thankfully,

1866
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 11: no damage TV is, no damage controls, no punches in

1867
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,559
Speaker 11: the wall, nothing the power of Celtic extent. It might

1868
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 11: be different, man.

1869
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 3: I don't even know what to say other than what

1870
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 3: changed over these last three games. Obviously, everything had to

1871
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 3: be perfect in that final play for that to happen.

1872
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 3: The ball had to come off the rim exactly at

1873
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 3: the right time. And it all worked out and the

1874
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 3: Celtics end up winning this. But what changed over the

1875
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 3: last three games, both from a Boston and a Miami perspective.

1876
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:23,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think there's a few things that's changed.

1877
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 11: It's mostly been on Boston's end, if they finally played

1878
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 11: with enough urgency. It's been a season theme all year

1879
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 11: where they played down when they don't feel challenged, and

1880
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,120
Speaker 11: then when they do feel challenged, backs against the wall,

1881
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:39,000
Speaker 11: all of a sudden, you see the best versions of themselves.

1882
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,639
Speaker 11: So at that point, you saw Jason Tatum be much

1883
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,600
Speaker 11: more aggressive, Jaalen Brown be a lot more accurate with

1884
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 11: his shots. You saw Joe Mizulla being more of a

1885
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 11: calming presence and being more deliberative with his timeouts than

1886
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 11: reactive on Miami's. And I think what's interesting, guys, is

1887
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 11: this wasn't a product of a team quote unquote laying

1888
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 11: it's guard down. I think that they played competitive. When

1889
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 11: you look specifically at this game, they were in it,

1890
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 11: you know, obviously till the very end, and they almost

1891
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 11: called back after being down from a deficit here. But

1892
01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:12,760
Speaker 11: I think what the differentiator is beyond the fact that

1893
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 11: you know, Derek White got that book back is, you know,

1894
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 11: Jimmy Butler and Bam out of Bio just did not

1895
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 11: shoot well from the field. And I think if you're Miami,

1896
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 11: as much as this might be debilitated, and knowing that

1897
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,080
Speaker 11: it's a game seven, now anything can happen. You're now

1898
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:30,000
Speaker 11: having to go in a very volatile environment in Boston

1899
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:32,960
Speaker 11: the odds of Jimmy but We're shooting five to twenty

1900
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:35,599
Speaker 11: one from the field, Bam out of Bio going four

1901
01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 11: sixteen and shooting, you know, last I checked fourteen to

1902
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 11: thirty from three point range and still losing, Like that's

1903
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,600
Speaker 11: pretty hard to fathom in a game seven. And so

1904
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 11: if I'm Miami, it's just all about staying calm stan

1905
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:54,439
Speaker 11: Brazilian game back after it. And if I'm Boston, it's

1906
01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:57,880
Speaker 11: about just revving it to the max and not letting

1907
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 11: any sort of feeling of sad faction seep through because

1908
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:03,760
Speaker 11: obviously the job's not done. They still have to win

1909
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:04,439
Speaker 11: one more game.

1910
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 2: So, Mark, this is what Jason and I have talked

1911
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 2: about here for the last twenty minutes or so. Mark

1912
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 2: Medina joining US Fox Sports Radio NBA insider Jason and

1913
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,240
Speaker 2: I seem to think like I think it's hard. And

1914
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 2: I know Boston has struggled at home, and I know

1915
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 2: the pressure is now sort of back on Boston, but

1916
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 2: it's sort of on Miami to you know, you don't

1917
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 2: want to blow a three to zero lead, but you

1918
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 2: seem pretty confident that Miami can kind of mentally rally.

1919
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 2: Now who wins the game? Who knows. But like I

1920
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 2: look at this, and in the manner in which you

1921
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 2: lost after that big rally, it just feels like, man,

1922
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 2: now you got to go on. You were literally a

1923
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 2: box out from going to the NBA Finals. Now you've

1924
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 2: got to go on the road to Boston forty eight

1925
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:46,360
Speaker 2: hours from now. But it sounds like you're confident that

1926
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:47,719
Speaker 2: they can kind of push it aside.

1927
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, without a doubt. And look, this doesn't guarantee anything

1928
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 11: of both. Miami is gonna lose Game seven. I don't

1929
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 11: think it's gonna be about the fact that they felt

1930
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,000
Speaker 11: rattle from Game six or they just don't have the

1931
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 11: mental forest too. I think it's gonna be two things.

1932
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:02,320
Speaker 11: It's going to be execution and it's going to be

1933
01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 11: about to what extent is the physical toll catching up

1934
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 11: to them. But when you're looking at this collective identity.

1935
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:11,920
Speaker 11: They've been resilient all year. They've navigated through a bunch

1936
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 11: of stuff, and they really only ended up as an

1937
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 11: eighth seed because there are so many injuries that they're

1938
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 11: dealing with throughout the season, most notably to Jimmy Butler.

1939
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 11: And so, you know, he culture is a real thing.

1940
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 11: The continuity with the coaching staff of their expulsures a

1941
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 11: real thing. You know. I think the the emotional maturity

1942
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,639
Speaker 11: that you know, the star players, whether it's Jimmy Butler

1943
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 11: and Bam out of bio and then you know down

1944
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:38,120
Speaker 11: the bench with Duncan Robinson, it's all real. And so

1945
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:40,320
Speaker 11: it's just a matter of they got to hit shots

1946
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 11: now and they got to absorb, you know, the ongoing

1947
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:46,759
Speaker 11: absence you know with Tyler hero but they have enough.

1948
01:37:46,800 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 11: But in Boston's then I think you almost flip it

1949
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 11: on its head. I could see them feeling, you know,

1950
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 11: good about themselves, and they clawed themselves out of this hole,

1951
01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 11: and all of a sudden, they think, you know what,

1952
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 11: they just have to show up and play and then

1953
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 11: that's an automatic w And that would be a very

1954
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 11: dangerous way of thinking against this Miami Heat team.

1955
01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, that was my point earlier, is that this

1956
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 3: team plays a lot better when they don't have expectations.

1957
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 3: They remind me of like Georgia football three or four

1958
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 3: years ago, where as soon as they were ranked number one,

1959
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 3: I could pencil them in for a loss within a

1960
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 3: week or two. This is this is a team that

1961
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:25,640
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily do that. And now you look at them.

1962
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 3: They're the high seed, They're the team that would host

1963
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals. It's in their building, it's a game seven,

1964
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 3: they have all the momentum. It feels like the expectation

1965
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:36,840
Speaker 3: is back on them, and now we have to see

1966
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 3: them do this again as they've been the underdogs these

1967
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 3: last three games. As you said, we've seen the best

1968
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 3: version of them. But one of the chances that they

1969
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:49,679
Speaker 3: fall back into the pattern of expectation and then finding

1970
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:50,759
Speaker 3: a way to let that down.

1971
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 11: Ruck, don't roll it out. It's been what they've been

1972
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 11: all about all season. They looked unbeatable, then toward the

1973
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 11: end they started losing all these you know, questionable games

1974
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 11: again inferior opponents. You kind of chalk that up to

1975
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 11: regular season complacency, but they carry that over to the playoffs.

1976
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 11: The first round should have been a breeze against the

1977
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:11,559
Speaker 11: Atlanta Hawks, it's Trey Young and nothing else. That should

1978
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,639
Speaker 11: have been a sweep. The Philadelphia seventy six ers, they've

1979
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:16,640
Speaker 11: been a hot mess, even when you account for the

1980
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 11: fact that they underachieved. The Celtics made it almost look

1981
01:39:22,240 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 11: like this was a series that they should have won,

1982
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,720
Speaker 11: which they shouldn't have. They should have blown past them

1983
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 11: because Joel Embiid and James Harden wearing consistent Doc Rivers

1984
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 11: was in over his head and falling apart in Game seven,

1985
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 11: as he traditionally has been, and so I thought that

1986
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 11: this series specifically was a way of humbling the Celtics

1987
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 11: and finally catching up to them, because the Miami Heat

1988
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:47,640
Speaker 11: are a team that you don't mess around with. But

1989
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 11: to the Celtics credit, they do have so much talent.

1990
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:54,920
Speaker 11: They know how to respond one challenge, so really ultimate,

1991
01:39:55,000 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 11: this Game seven is going to be the ultimate where

1992
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 11: the rubber meets the road, so to speak. And you'd

1993
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 11: like to think lessons learned, but you even just look

1994
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 11: at the final minutes of this Game six where they

1995
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 11: needed it. They almost squandered the game. They were up

1996
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:12,360
Speaker 11: by ken and the Heat came back and they were

1997
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 11: able to hold on to win. You know, a questionable

1998
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 11: I won't say the questionable call with Jimmy Butler's foul.

1999
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 11: That was a foul, but the clock Candling, I thought

2000
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,040
Speaker 11: it was three seconds all of a sudden, it's under

2001
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 11: that he doesn't make all the foul shots. And then

2002
01:40:27,200 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 11: Derek White with that putback. So this very well could

2003
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:33,719
Speaker 11: have been that game that came back to finally haunt them,

2004
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 11: but they dodged a bull. Will see if they they

2005
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,559
Speaker 11: use that lesson to its advantage in game seven.

2006
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 2: Mark, I don't I don't know where you stood coming

2007
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,640
Speaker 2: into the last couple of games on the future of

2008
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 2: the Celtics. But another angle here that Jason and I

2009
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:50,920
Speaker 2: talked about. Do you believe that Joe Missoula has done

2010
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:52,840
Speaker 2: enough to keep the job and do you believe if

2011
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:56,600
Speaker 2: if Miami does somehow win this game seven, do you

2012
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 2: believe the Celtics need to reevaluate this team in this

2013
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 2: roster or have they done enough in your eyes where

2014
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 2: they should probably run it back?

2015
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 5: Is it?

2016
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:06,920
Speaker 11: Yeah? Interesting questions. I thought if they were down three

2017
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 11: to zero at the time, I thought, you know what,

2018
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 11: you have to seriously think that show Mozoua's job is

2019
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 11: on the line. We've seen so many other quality caliber

2020
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 11: coaches lose their job. The only thing that gave me

2021
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 11: some trepidition. Trepidation is not only is it his first year,

2022
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:24,840
Speaker 11: but it's not like this is a new ownership group

2023
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 11: or a new front office. Brad Stevens pick to Joe

2024
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:31,520
Speaker 11: Mizula specifically, they have history, so sometimes because of that,

2025
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:35,560
Speaker 11: there's an extra investment some more patients. I think, regardless

2026
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,920
Speaker 11: of the outcome, his job is saved. As much as

2027
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 11: he deserved scrutiny throughout these playoffs, as well as these

2028
01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:44,720
Speaker 11: first three games of getting guys ready to ply, how

2029
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:47,519
Speaker 11: he managed timeouts, how he was always stubborn about being

2030
01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 11: small or going small with the rotation. He deserves credit

2031
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 11: for their resiliency, getting them motivated, getting them calm. So

2032
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 11: I think from that standpoint, everything's fine. I think regardless

2033
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,760
Speaker 11: though from the personnel stand with the roster, I thought

2034
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:04,400
Speaker 11: that roster would stay intact. I mean, the reality is

2035
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,719
Speaker 11: this team has a sample size of what it looked

2036
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,960
Speaker 11: like with success with a different head coach last season

2037
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:13,160
Speaker 11: when getting to the finals, and so I don't think

2038
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 11: that they would have blown that up. The only change

2039
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 11: would have been a head coach. But I think now,

2040
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 11: even if they lose Game seven, I think everything for

2041
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 11: the most part, as far as the core and the

2042
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:24,799
Speaker 11: coaching staff will stay intact.

2043
01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 3: Mark, what chance do you give either one of these

2044
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:30,840
Speaker 3: teams against Denver, who just really looks like a juggernaut

2045
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 3: right now?

2046
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I would favor the Denver Nuggets because

2047
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 11: they're a complete team, they're fully arrested. I don't think

2048
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 11: it's inevitable or all but guaranteed because the Selics and

2049
01:42:42,080 --> 01:42:46,000
Speaker 11: the Miami Heat are really good. But look, the Denver

2050
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 11: Nuggets have proven that this is not just some cute

2051
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 11: story and that oh they're not worthy of making a

2052
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 11: deep playoff push. In the past two years, they fell

2053
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:58,719
Speaker 11: short in the playoffs, namely because Jamal Murray was hurt

2054
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,280
Speaker 11: for both times. You know, they were the team that

2055
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 11: overachieved three years ago in the Bubble with the game

2056
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 11: to the Western Conference Finals after overcoming two three to

2057
01:43:07,240 --> 01:43:10,080
Speaker 11: one series deficits, first against Utah and then to the Clippers,

2058
01:43:10,120 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 11: and they just lost to a Lakers team that was

2059
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,559
Speaker 11: just much more talented and deep. And here with this

2060
01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:19,679
Speaker 11: current season with the Nuggets, they checked every single box

2061
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 11: Nakolea Jokis, even though he didn't win MVP as he

2062
01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 11: did the past two seasons, internally they feel like he

2063
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 11: took any bigger leap with his play, with just his consistency,

2064
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 11: his leadership. Jamal Murray not only is he healthy, he's

2065
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 11: been wildly effective. Same thing with Michael Porter Junior. They

2066
01:43:37,520 --> 01:43:41,080
Speaker 11: have a really deep supporting cast with guys like Aaron Gordon,

2067
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:45,800
Speaker 11: Bruce Brown, Contavious Calwell Pope that give them interior depth

2068
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 11: as well as perimeter depth. And they have a really

2069
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 11: good coach with Michael Malone, one of the best in

2070
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,400
Speaker 11: the business, and so they really have no weaknesses. So

2071
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 11: I would give the edge to Denver. But you know,

2072
01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 11: Boston and Miami are reallychampionship tested as well. They got

2073
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:05,759
Speaker 11: good coaching, they got a good core, So flip a point,

2074
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 11: but if I had to pick, I'd pick Denver.

2075
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 2: In six last one for me, Mark, I think you

2076
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 2: were at Staples Center crypto dot comery and excuse me

2077
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 2: on Monday night.

2078
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:15,719
Speaker 12: Yeah.

2079
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 2: Do you buy into any possibility that we have seen

2080
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 2: the last of Lebron James in the NBA.

2081
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 11: I don't. Shortly after all that came out, I talked

2082
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,920
Speaker 11: it with some people around Lebron James At know him

2083
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 11: and they thought, look, he's going to come back for

2084
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 11: his two years an honorous contract. He's just frustrated with

2085
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 11: the losing, you know, being eliminated, the fact that he

2086
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,800
Speaker 11: put up forty points and it still wasn't enough, and

2087
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:44,000
Speaker 11: then just playing with all that pain with his right foot. Look,

2088
01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 11: it wasn't something that was career jeopardizing, but it was

2089
01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 11: a pain tolerance issue and it was a lot of

2090
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 11: pain he was going through. And I think the fact

2091
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,080
Speaker 11: that Carmelo Anthony retired, all those things kind of bubbled

2092
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 11: beneath the surface. But I was told, with someone that

2093
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 11: knows him pretty well, that hey, give him a few days,

2094
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 11: give him a week, help come back around. So I

2095
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 11: suspect that's what's going to happen. They'll be interesting to

2096
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 11: see because he's known for being very unpredictable. But for

2097
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:11,920
Speaker 11: what it's worth, that whole idea that he was flowing

2098
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,679
Speaker 11: us out there to put some leverage on the Lakers

2099
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 11: to go all in with getting a Kyrie Irving or

2100
01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 11: anyone else, they said that that was not the case

2101
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 11: at all. Really was just the things I mentioned. But

2102
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:25,840
Speaker 11: either way, the Lakers and Lebron always know how to

2103
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:29,720
Speaker 11: make off seasons interesting. So brace up and buckle up.

2104
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that they say that, you know,

2105
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 2: one had nothing to do with the other, but it

2106
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:38,920
Speaker 2: did also take a little bit of the juice out

2107
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,519
Speaker 2: of Denver and you know, celebrating what they did at

2108
01:45:41,520 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 2: Crypto dot comrita, Oh.

2109
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:43,400
Speaker 10: Without a doubt.

2110
01:45:43,439 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 11: I mean, look, Michael malowe Is was a little annoyed

2111
01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:48,120
Speaker 11: at the beginning of the series when all the talk

2112
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:50,919
Speaker 11: was about the Lakers. I'm sure he was certainly annoyed

2113
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:54,560
Speaker 11: about Lebron stealing the thunder, But look like I was

2114
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:56,679
Speaker 11: someone that tried to write about both teams. I wrote

2115
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 11: about Lebron's retirement and what it meant and the skepticism

2116
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:02,720
Speaker 11: from people around him, and I also wrote about Jokicha's

2117
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 11: dominant postseason. And you know, from a media standpoint, the

2118
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 11: attention is what the attention is. Well, Lebron's story got

2119
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 11: more attention, and the reality is, you know, someone of

2120
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 11: his caliber were to retire, I mean, there's just so

2121
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 11: much magnitude with that than the Denver Nuggets making the

2122
01:46:19,479 --> 01:46:21,920
Speaker 11: finals for the first time in franchise history. But I'm

2123
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 11: with you their achievements shouldn't be overlooked because they have

2124
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:26,679
Speaker 11: been the real deal all season.

2125
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:30,360
Speaker 2: He's Mark Medina, our Fox Sports Radio NBA Insider. Mark,

2126
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:34,799
Speaker 2: we appreciate you making some time this evening. Enjoy whatever,

01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 2: enjoy the holiday weekend. I know you'll be watching on

2128
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:39,640
Speaker 2: Monday night. We appreciate the time and we will be

2129
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:40,679
Speaker 2: reaching out to you again soon.

2130
01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 7: Mark.

2131
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 2: Thank you.

2132
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 11: Right back at you. I appreciate you. Guys both.

2133
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,679
Speaker 2: That is Mark Medina, our Fox Sports Radio NBA Insider

2134
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 2: will come back react to what Mark Medina had to say.

2135
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:52,880
Speaker 2: Before we do that, let's toss it over the news desk,

2136
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:54,879
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger, what's trending?

2137
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,880
Speaker 6: Derek White, the hero for the Celtics winning Game six

2138
01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:00,360
Speaker 6: of the NBA's East Finals on a footback at the

2139
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:03,720
Speaker 6: buzzer one four to one oh three at Miami, and

2140
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:06,439
Speaker 6: he had a free run to the paint for a

2141
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:09,120
Speaker 6: possible put back. If you look back at the video,

2142
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 6: he is the inbounder. He throws it into Marcus Smart,

2143
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:17,800
Speaker 6: who makes, as you mentioned earlier, the quick turnaround, and

2144
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:22,839
Speaker 6: then nobody's guarding the inbounds passer at all. Max Strus

2145
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:25,639
Speaker 6: is chasing. White never gets in front of him, never

2146
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:29,840
Speaker 6: able to box out. Derek White a great thinking basketball play,

2147
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 6: a sprint from out of bounds after the inbounds pass

2148
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 6: straight to the paint, and he wins the game for Boston.

2149
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart, by the way, twenty one points for the Celtics,

2150
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 6: the rest of the team from three point range three

2151
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:45,559
Speaker 6: for twenty four and Boston wins and will host Game

2152
01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:50,439
Speaker 6: seven of this series Monday night. Amazing back to back years,

2153
01:47:50,640 --> 01:47:53,240
Speaker 6: these two teams in the East Finals, back to back years.

2154
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 6: It goes seven And we mentioned earlier in the show

2155
01:47:56,280 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 6: tonight Michael Jordan early in his career a very famous

2156
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 6: playoff buzzer beater that was to eliminate Cleveland game five

2157
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:06,679
Speaker 6: of the best of five in nineteen eighty nine. ESPN

2158
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 6: Stats and an Info said that until tonight was the

2159
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:12,599
Speaker 6: only time in the postseason where you had a guy

2160
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:17,519
Speaker 6: make the game winning buzzer beater when facing elimination and

2161
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:20,759
Speaker 6: his team was trailing when he put up the shot.

2162
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan, Nilo, Michael Jordan over Elo nineteen eighty nine

2163
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,519
Speaker 6: and Derek White tonight when they were down one oh

2164
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:27,960
Speaker 6: three to one.

2165
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,080
Speaker 2: The all time greats. Let me tell you the saga,

2166
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 2: the ones we were telling our grand kids about.

2167
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler had given Miami the brief lead with three

2168
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:38,200
Speaker 6: seconds left, hitting the three free throws. He had twenty

2169
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:42,200
Speaker 6: four points in defeat. Jimmy Butler met the media after

2170
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 6: this stunning home loss.

2171
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:47,639
Speaker 13: I told the guys in the locker room that if

2172
01:48:47,640 --> 01:48:51,320
Speaker 13: I play better, we're not even in his position, honestly speaking,

2173
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:53,600
Speaker 13: and I will be better. And that's what makes me

2174
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 13: smile because those guys follow my lead. So when I'm

2175
01:48:58,479 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 13: playing better, I think we're playing better.

2176
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:05,680
Speaker 6: Jimmy Butler late in the game was three for nineteen

2177
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 6: at one point. Bam Adebayo finished four of sixteen from

2178
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:13,559
Speaker 6: the floor. So you've got a Miami Heat team that

2179
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:17,559
Speaker 6: this week is zero to three. Going into this week,

2180
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 6: they were eleven and three in the playoffs. They had

2181
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:23,439
Speaker 6: eliminated Milwaukee top seed in the first round, beat the

2182
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:25,759
Speaker 6: Knicks in the second round. They were up three games

2183
01:49:25,760 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 6: to none to the Celtics and still haven't been able

2184
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 6: to close it out. And the Boston Celtics such a

2185
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 6: story already this postseason. They're five to zero when facing elimination.

2186
01:49:36,800 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 6: Three of those wins on the road. They came back

2187
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,640
Speaker 6: against Philly. They're coming back against Miami to force a

2188
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 6: game seven at home on Monday, and have we seen

2189
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 6: Oudonis Haslam on the bench for the final time at Miami.

2190
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 6: They may not get back to another home game. He's

2191
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:54,000
Speaker 6: had a twenty year career there. Celtics will be home

2192
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,200
Speaker 6: as mentioned for the next game. They have won their

2193
01:49:56,280 --> 01:50:01,840
Speaker 6: last four game sevens, including one earlier this season. Milwaukee's

2194
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 6: new head coach will reportedly be Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin.

2195
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 6: Stanley Cup West Final Dallas is still alive after back

2196
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 6: to back goals in the third got him a victory

2197
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 6: at Vegas four to two. Golden Knight's lead in the

2198
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 6: series now three games to two. Game six of that

2199
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 6: conference final will be Monday nights in Dallas. We'll see

2200
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:22,559
Speaker 6: about NASCAR six hundred at Charlotte tomorrow scheduled for Fox

2201
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,760

2202
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:29,160
Speaker 6: rained out postponed to Monday in fact, and in the

2203
01:50:29,240 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 6: late ballgame it's the Marlins leading the Angels going to

2204
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:34,479
Speaker 6: the eighth inning four to three. Earlier wins for the

2205
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 6: Phillies and Dodgers and Colorado put away the Mets ten

2206
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 6: to seven back to.

2207
01:50:38,840 --> 01:50:41,639
Speaker 2: You, Thank you very much to Sagre. You'll be rejoining

2208
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 2: us here in just a moment. Fox Sports Radio Aeron

2209
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:49,759
Speaker 2: Torris Jason Martin broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios. Jason,

2210
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 2: just really quick. That Jimmy Butler sound that the sager

2211
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 2: just played, I mean, that was right in line with

2212
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 2: what Mark Medina said. Marc Medita basically said, look, you're

2213
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 2: not gonna get a worse game from Jimmy Butler than

2214
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:03,640
Speaker 2: five of twenty one from the field, which is what

2215
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 2: he shot today. For Jimmy Butler to go to the

2216
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:08,680
Speaker 2: podium and say, guys, this was on me. This is

2217
01:51:08,760 --> 01:51:11,200
Speaker 2: my fault. If I play better, We're not in this situation.

2218
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:14,719
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that I'm doing a complete one eighty

2219
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 2: or a complete three sixty from my I don't know

2220
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 2: how the Miami Heat bounce back, but it is interesting,

2221
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,559
Speaker 2: you know, you look at it from that perspective, and

2222
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:28,000
Speaker 2: it's it's probably you know, it's kind of an interesting

2223
01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:30,280
Speaker 2: thing now that now that it's out there kind of

2224
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:32,800
Speaker 2: in the ether. With what Jimmy Butler said is I

2225
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 2: mean what.

2226
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:37,800
Speaker 3: I told you was, Jimmy Butler's just wired different. And

2227
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 3: if he shows up motivated, well, I mean he's always motivated,

2228
01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:46,599
Speaker 3: He's a he is an unbelievable competitor always. But if

2229
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 3: he shows up, especially if he feels like they've been

2230
01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:50,840
Speaker 3: slighted along the way over the last two days and

2231
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 3: him getting up there and saying this one's on me, uh,

2232
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:57,479
Speaker 3: that means he's gonna show up and try to make

2233
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:01,240
Speaker 3: you forget about that. That's dangerous territory. And again, all

2234
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 3: they're gonna hear over the next two days is how

2235
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 3: Boston's gonna beat them. They're gonna hear that. If I'm Spulsra,

2236
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:08,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make sure they hear it over and over

2237
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 3: and over again, because it's the kind of team I

2238
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:14,719
Speaker 3: think that responds to that kind of thing. Many, many

2239
01:52:14,760 --> 01:52:17,160
Speaker 3: people could go into this game after what's happened to

2240
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:20,559
Speaker 3: Miami Heat, where you wouldn't give them a shot in

2241
01:52:20,680 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 3: the world. Jimmy Butler is the one guy where it's like,

2242
01:52:25,280 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I'm gonna give them at least a

2243
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,559
Speaker 3: couple percent chance. I said ten percent, and it still

2244
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 3: feels generous because it just seems so unlikely. It's gonna

2245
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:36,200
Speaker 3: be so hard to win the game. But man, Jimmy Butler,

2246
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 3: if there is anybody that can will a team to

2247
01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 3: a victory in this situation, it might be twenty two.

2248
01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:47,080
Speaker 2: Tell you what, we'll come back. We'll talk about that

2249
01:52:47,160 --> 01:52:48,519
Speaker 2: in an hour four. But I do want to bring

2250
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,000
Speaker 2: back to Saga. He will have an update on all

2251
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 2: things sports, because there was other stuff that happened besides

2252
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 2: a thriller in Miami in game six. The Sager's next Fox.

2253

Speaker 2: Come back, Everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Eric Torris, jaysmartinbarcasting live

2255

01:53:07,560 --> 01:53:10,320
Speaker 2: every Saturday, Toss it over the news desk to Sega

2257
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 2: your extended update the floor as yours, my friend.

2258
01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 6: Well, we had some excitement, to say the least, tonight

2259
01:53:15,640 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 6: with Boston winning at the Buzzer at Miami, forcing a

2260
01:53:18,520 --> 01:53:21,920
Speaker 6: Game seven in Boston Monday night. You mentioned earlier that

2261
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:25,080
Speaker 6: a year ago the Eastern Conference Finals were these two

2262
01:53:25,160 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 6: teams and it went to a game seven and Boston

2263
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:30,400
Speaker 6: won at Miami as Jimmy Butler missed a late jumper.

2264
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:34,080
Speaker 6: Do you know that these last two seasons and again

2265
01:53:34,120 --> 01:53:37,040
Speaker 6: it's been Eastern Conference Final round last year and this

2266
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 6: year when it's heat Celtics in the playoffs. The home

2267
01:53:40,120 --> 01:53:44,599
Speaker 6: team is four and nine. Wow, including Miami losing at

2268
01:53:44,640 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 6: home tonight. Game seven's in Boston. Is that even good news? Boston?

2269
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 6: I know they won their first two home games in

2270
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:54,080
Speaker 6: this postseason. Since then they're three and five at home

2271
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 6: in the postseason. If you go back their last twenty

2272
01:53:57,320 --> 01:54:00,320
Speaker 6: home playoff games, Boston is nine and eleven. So it

2273
01:54:00,439 --> 01:54:03,680
Speaker 6: sounds great, it sounds automatic. You got Game seven at home,

2274
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:05,840
Speaker 6: they might win. They're the two seed in the East.

2275
01:54:05,920 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 6: They should win. But don't write it in pen yet.

2276
01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:12,479
Speaker 6: What's amazing is the Celtics are still alive. That alone

2277
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:16,440
Speaker 6: is a story. They've won five elimination games in these playoffs.

2278
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 6: The NBA record is six. The Denver Nuggets in the

2279
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:23,760
Speaker 6: Bubble twenty twenty won six elimination games until finally being

2280
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:26,760
Speaker 6: taken out, and the Nuggets of nineteen ninety four won

2281
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 6: six elimination games as well. I'll go ahead and say

2282
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 6: right now, probably gonna get a good TV rating on

2283
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 6: Monday night on Cable for this Game seven from Boston.

2284
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:38,440
Speaker 6: But then again, when these two met on Tuesday nights,

2285
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 6: what was the highest rated TV show sports or otherwise,

2286
01:54:42,520 --> 01:54:45,920
Speaker 6: it was Heat Celtics NBA on TNT with over six

2287
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:49,840
Speaker 6: and a half million viewers when they met again on Thursday.

2288
01:54:49,920 --> 01:54:53,360
Speaker 6: What was the highest rated TV show on Thursday NBA

2289
01:54:53,520 --> 01:54:56,800
Speaker 6: on TNT Yet again on the night in between those,

2290
01:54:56,960 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 6: on Wednesday, TNT had Hockey Playoffs that got one point

2291
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:04,040
Speaker 6: eight six million, and that was actually the most watched

2292
01:55:04,080 --> 01:55:07,000
Speaker 6: game of the hockey Conference final round to that point,

2293
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 6: looking forward to Monday. As for the name Rodrick Pleasant,

2294
01:55:12,680 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 6: most people probably have not heard of that, but he

2295
01:55:15,160 --> 01:55:18,560
Speaker 6: is a college football recruit to the Oregon Ducks. He

2296
01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 6: was the top ranked defensive back in the state of California,

2297
01:55:21,720 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 6: and he finished his high school athletic career tonight on

2298
01:55:25,720 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 6: the track at the state Track and Field Meet. He

2299
01:55:29,120 --> 01:55:32,800
Speaker 6: is a sprinter, needless to say fast. Rodrick Pleasant won

2300
01:55:32,960 --> 01:55:36,400
Speaker 6: the boys hundred meters at the state finals in ten

2301
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 6: point two seconds. A kid ran ten two in the

2302
01:55:40,560 --> 01:55:43,680
Speaker 6: one hundred meters, apparently the national records ten to one.

2303
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 6: This guy is known as Superman. I seen a photo

2304
01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:50,600
Speaker 6: from the meet tonight. He actually has a red Superman

2305
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:54,520
Speaker 6: s on his chest as he runs, and he also

2306
01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 6: won a gold medal, taking the two hundred meters Now

2307
01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:00,120
Speaker 6: it'll be off to the Oregon Ducks football team. The

2308
01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 6: late baseball game is in Anaheim tonight. Marlins lead the

2309
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:06,200
Speaker 6: Angels four to three, top of the eighth. Sho Haotani

2310
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 6: was the Angels starting pitcher. He continues to be superman,

2311
01:56:10,440 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 6: just silly in a historic way. What's going on? Sho

2312
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 6: Hao Tani struck out ten in this game tonight. He

2313
01:56:17,360 --> 01:56:20,880
Speaker 6: pitched six innings one earned run aloud. Since the start

2314
01:56:20,960 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 6: of last season, Otani as a pitcher has fourteen ten

2315
01:56:25,160 --> 01:56:28,440
Speaker 6: strikeout games, three more than anyone else in the majors

2316
01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 6: in that span. And by the way, he's hit almost

2317
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:34,280
Speaker 6: fifty homers in that span. On top of that, and

2318
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:38,000
Speaker 6: he lowered his ERA this season to two point nine

2319
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:42,080
Speaker 6: to one, and he leads American League pitchers in strikeouts

2320
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 6: this year. It's just amazing what he is doing. One

2321
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 6: thing happened in Cooperstown, New York. I did not realize

2322
01:56:48,720 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 6: there is a Hall of Fame Legends game for Hall

2323
01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:54,360
Speaker 6: of Fame for the weekend. It's not Hall of Fame

2324
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:57,280
Speaker 6: weekend that's in the summer, but for holiday weekend. This

2325
01:56:57,520 --> 01:57:00,280
Speaker 6: they said was the thirteenth edition of this. It's not

2326
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:03,240
Speaker 6: old Timers game. These are guys that frankly you and

2327
01:57:03,320 --> 01:57:05,520
Speaker 6: I saw play when they were active. But at historic

2328
01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:09,080
Speaker 6: Doubleday Field, Pokey Reese, who's about to turn fifty, went

2329
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 6: four for four and was player of the game. As

2330
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:15,880
Speaker 6: Team Bert led by Hall of Famer Burt Blyleven coaching,

2331
01:57:16,440 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 6: beat Team Kitty led by Jim Cott, former Hall of

2332
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:22,560
Speaker 6: Fame pitcher in a seven inning game. And the other

2333
01:57:22,680 --> 01:57:25,520
Speaker 6: Hall of Fame pitchers on hand as assistant coaches were

2334
01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:29,600
Speaker 6: Fergie Jenkins, Ralegh Fingers, Jack Morris, and Lee Smith, all

2335
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,640
Speaker 6: in Cooperstown today. By the way, there was a home

2336
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:35,400
Speaker 6: run derby before the game, won by former Dodger first

2337
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:39,080
Speaker 6: baseman James Loney, and recent retiree Josh Reddick was in

2338
01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 6: that wow. As for the baseball, the Atlanta Braves have

2339
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 6: lost yesterday and today, so their record now thirty one

2340
01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:50,520
Speaker 6: and twenty one, Dodgers thirty two and twenty one. Somebody

2341
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:53,160
Speaker 6: actually won at Tampa Bay today and there was a

2342
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:56,240
Speaker 6: great looking crowd. Now it's twenty three thousand. They don't

2343
01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:59,040
Speaker 6: sit upstairs, but it was packed in the lower two

2344
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:01,720
Speaker 6: levels for the Dodge visit today. The Rays at home

2345
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 6: had been twenty five and five, and they had starter

2346
01:58:04,920 --> 01:58:07,720
Speaker 6: Tyler Glasnow on the mound for his season debut, coming

2347
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:10,040
Speaker 6: back from injury. At eight strikeouts in four and a

2348
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:13,440
Speaker 6: third innings, did allow three runs. Dodgers eventually took it

2349
01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:16,960
Speaker 6: six ' five. Freddy Freeman of LA two doubles, two walks.

2350
01:58:17,000 --> 01:58:19,440
Speaker 6: He has a sixteen game hitting streak. He's batting three

2351
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 6: thirty three. Max Munsey, who's been slumping, hit a solo homer,

2352
01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:26,440
Speaker 6: his sixteenth for the Mets. Home run number twenty of

2353
01:58:26,520 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 6: the season for Pete Alonzo, but the Mets with that

2354
01:58:29,480 --> 01:58:32,600
Speaker 6: payroll are twenty seven and twenty six. They lost at

2355
01:58:32,640 --> 01:58:37,200
Speaker 6: Colorado tonight ten to seven, even though Justin Verlander had

2356
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 6: a very poor start. The Mets took the lead and

2357
01:58:39,040 --> 01:58:42,160
Speaker 6: then blew that. Verlander allowed five runs in the second.

2358
01:58:42,560 --> 01:58:44,480
Speaker 6: Mets were down six to nothing in the third inning

2359
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:47,320
Speaker 6: against the Rockies. No decision for Verlander. He pitched five

2360
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:50,360
Speaker 6: innings and as Miami has the late game, I should

2361
01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:54,560
Speaker 6: mention that Jorge Solaire, former postseason hero, has now homered

2362
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,520
Speaker 6: for a fifth straight game for the Marlins. They go

2363
01:58:57,640 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 6: to the bottom of the eighth leading the Angels. Three earlier,

2364
01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:04,320
Speaker 6: Philadelphia and Zach Wheeler beat Atlanta two to one and

2365
01:59:04,440 --> 01:59:07,080
Speaker 6: the Yankees down the Padres and ten innings three to two.

02:00:11,120 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 2: in Miami, but of course everything across the world of sports.

2383
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,520
Speaker 2: Bernie Fratto in about twenty minutes story of the night.

2384
02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:19,840
Speaker 2: He don't need me to tell you at this point,

2385
02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:23,040
Speaker 2: but it was the Boston Celtics Miami Heat game Game

2386
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:27,720
Speaker 2: six in Miami. If Miami wins, the Celtics season is over.

2387
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:30,000
Speaker 2: And to Seger just laid it out for you. But

2388
02:00:31,040 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, Miami trails by two. Jimmy Butler gets fouled

2389
02:00:35,280 --> 02:00:39,520
Speaker 2: by shooting a three pointer with three seconds to go,

2390
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:45,120
Speaker 2: makes all three sets up a last second he from

2391
02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:49,720
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, Marcus Smart misses Derek White with the

2392
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:52,320
Speaker 2: put back at the buzzer. Here's how it sounded.

2393
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:55,600
Speaker 9: All eyes or on zachsar By at the scorers table

2394
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:57,720
Speaker 9: because he holds the information in.

2395
02:00:57,760 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: His hand right now.

2396
02:00:58,880 --> 02:00:59,880
Speaker 2: Confirmed good basket.

2397
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:04,240
Speaker 9: It is over and the Boston Celtics have boldly and

2398
02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:10,320
Speaker 9: impossibly gone where no NBA team has gone before. Down

2399
02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 9: three to oh, they have forced a seventh and deciding game.

2400
02:01:14,920 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 2: At the buzzer that was Celtics Radio Network. And again

2401
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,320
Speaker 2: for people who missed it, a Jimmy Butler three file

2402
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 2: shots give the Heat a one point lead. Derek White

2403
02:01:28,200 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 2: with the putback at the buzzer forces a Game seven

2404
02:01:32,280 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 2: in Boston on Saturday night or on Monday night. Excuse me, Jason,

2405
02:01:36,240 --> 02:01:40,960
Speaker 2: Today's Saturday Night Listen. We've talked about it, We've mentioned

2406
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:44,600
Speaker 2: it at length. Heats back is against the wall in

2407
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 2: a way that we could have never imagined four or

2408
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:49,000
Speaker 2: five days ago when they were up three to nothing

2409
02:01:49,040 --> 02:01:49,560
Speaker 2: in this series.

2410
02:01:50,160 --> 02:01:56,960
Speaker 3: Two winners tonight h the Celtics and Warner Brothers Discovery

2411
02:01:57,560 --> 02:02:03,280
Speaker 3: Slash TNT because their season was over tonight, both those

2412
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:07,640
Speaker 3: groups if Boston doesn't win, because we know who's getting

2413
02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:12,160
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals, and Turner's season was over, and Monday

2414
02:02:12,280 --> 02:02:16,880
Speaker 3: is going to be a massive ratings night for Turner

2415
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:19,920
Speaker 3: because of the stakes of this game, because of the

2416
02:02:20,000 --> 02:02:23,800
Speaker 3: potential history of this game, because of the way the

2417
02:02:23,960 --> 02:02:28,520
Speaker 3: Saturday game finished, just leaves everybody just blown away, and

2418
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:30,600
Speaker 3: we can't wait to see what happens on Monday, because

2419
02:02:30,640 --> 02:02:33,880
Speaker 3: sports are the greatest reality show and television. As our

2420
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:36,720
Speaker 3: guest Bernie Fratto says often, he'll join us in the

2421
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:40,720
Speaker 3: next segment. I man, you're talking about backs against the Wall.

2422
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:46,080
Speaker 3: I just can't imagine the level of pressure that you

2423
02:02:46,120 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 3: would feel right now if you were Miami or not

2424
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:52,720
Speaker 3: even pressure, but just the emotional roller coaster and just

2425
02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:58,200
Speaker 3: feeling like someone did something heinous to you, like your

2426
02:02:58,320 --> 02:03:00,560
Speaker 3: heart's ripped out right there in front of you. It

2427
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:03,080
Speaker 3: is point two seconds away. It was one stop, Jimmy

2428
02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:05,800
Speaker 3: Butler said on the sideline, one stop to the NBA Finals.

2429
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:08,640
Speaker 3: And they actually got one because Marcus Smart miss but

2430
02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:12,360
Speaker 3: unfortunately nobody guarded Derek White off the inbound. He's able

2431
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:13,720
Speaker 3: to go in and score with two tenths of a

2432
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:17,400
Speaker 3: second left, And now we've got forty eight more minutes

2433
02:03:17,440 --> 02:03:20,800
Speaker 3: of basketball to determine who's gonna beat Denver on Thursday

2434
02:03:20,840 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 3: in Game one of the NBA Finals. It's the best

2435
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:27,480
Speaker 3: possible scenario for a sportsman to have Monday night because

2436
02:03:27,520 --> 02:03:30,720
Speaker 3: the stakes are so high and the drama was so

2437
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:33,560
Speaker 3: thick last night in Game six, and the way that

2438
02:03:33,680 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 3: it finished like this is the perfect scenario for a

2439
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:40,160
Speaker 3: fan and for both teams. I mean, it's gonna be

2440
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:42,240
Speaker 3: f I mean, it'll be fun after the fact to

2441
02:03:42,320 --> 02:03:44,520
Speaker 3: think about what kind of a game you played in.

2442
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:48,760
Speaker 3: But boy, oh boy, the Celtics being a two seed,

2443
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 3: maybe their coach not coming back, all these things, and

2444
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:56,440
Speaker 3: they win three in a row, and now Miami has

2445
02:03:56,520 --> 02:03:58,840
Speaker 3: to think and they're gonna hear this for the next

2446
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 3: thirty six hours. The Boston's going to beat them. They've

2447
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:04,720
Speaker 3: got no chance. And then you've got a guy named

2448
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:07,680
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler who is the exact kind of person that

2449
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:10,360
Speaker 3: wants to soak all that in and then come in

2450
02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 3: and shut everybody's mouth. If Miami wins. I said this earlier, Aaron,

2451
02:04:15,440 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 3: that's gonna be one of the most impressive ws you

2452
02:04:17,840 --> 02:04:20,800
Speaker 3: will ever see in the NBA, because it just doesn't

2453
02:04:20,920 --> 02:04:25,800
Speaker 3: seem like that's gonna happen at this point, but you

2454
02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:27,640
Speaker 3: just don't know until the game is played.

2455
02:04:28,040 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 2: Well, and it's interesting you bring up Jimmy Butler because

2456
02:04:31,600 --> 02:04:34,160
Speaker 2: my thought coming out of this game six, I don't

2457
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:37,920
Speaker 2: know how the heat could possibly rally. But Mark Medina

2458
02:04:37,960 --> 02:04:41,000
Speaker 2: brought up the point that Jimmy Butler goes five for

2459
02:04:41,160 --> 02:04:43,720
Speaker 2: twenty one from the field, Essentially you can't get a

2460
02:04:43,760 --> 02:04:46,560
Speaker 2: worse performance from Jimmy Butler. And you know who agreed

2461
02:04:46,560 --> 02:04:49,280
Speaker 2: with that, Jimmy Butler did. Here's what he had to

2462
02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:49,960
Speaker 2: say after the game.

2463
02:04:50,560 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 13: Like I told the guys on the bench, I told

2464
02:04:53,080 --> 02:04:56,840
Speaker 13: the guys in the locker room. Then if I play better,

2465
02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:00,600
Speaker 13: we're not even in his position, honestly speaking, and I

2466
02:05:00,720 --> 02:05:02,960
Speaker 13: will be better. And that's what makes me smile because

2467
02:05:03,960 --> 02:05:07,600
Speaker 13: those guys follow my lead. So when I'm playing better,

2468
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 13: I think we're playing better as well.

2469
02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:12,160
Speaker 2: First of all, big shout out to Crandall and Ian

2470
02:05:12,360 --> 02:05:14,680
Speaker 2: in the back, our producer Pat, Chris Purfett, and of

2471
02:05:14,760 --> 02:05:17,320
Speaker 2: course to Seger. You guys are all making me and

2472
02:05:17,400 --> 02:05:20,200
Speaker 2: Jason look good tonight because there is so much going

2473
02:05:20,240 --> 02:05:22,080
Speaker 2: on in real time. So thank you to the guys

2474
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:25,280
Speaker 2: in the back who are working so hard. Jason that

2475
02:05:25,440 --> 02:05:29,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler sound man like you talk about being a leader,

2476
02:05:29,320 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 2: being accountable. You know it's funny, right, like you think

2477
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:34,680
Speaker 2: about these athletes through the years. I remember Andrew Luck.

2478
02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:37,440
Speaker 2: It's just an example that pops into my head. But

2479
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:40,440
Speaker 2: Andrew Luck could throw for four hundred and fifty yards

2480
02:05:40,480 --> 02:05:43,000
Speaker 2: and six touchdowns and if his team lost, it was like,

2481
02:05:43,280 --> 02:05:45,120
Speaker 2: you know, I could have been better and I should

2482
02:05:45,160 --> 02:05:48,000
Speaker 2: have done that. And it's like you talk about leadership

2483
02:05:48,080 --> 02:05:51,400
Speaker 2: and accountability from Jimmy Butler, to put the target on

2484
02:05:51,600 --> 02:05:53,600
Speaker 2: his back, put the blame on his back, say the

2485
02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:55,720
Speaker 2: only reason we're even going to Game seven is because

2486
02:05:55,760 --> 02:05:58,280
Speaker 2: of me, when it was three fall shots from him

2487
02:05:58,680 --> 02:06:02,320
Speaker 2: that put them in position to have this win. I

2488
02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:05,000
Speaker 2: love that sound from Jimmy Butler, and I don't know

2489
02:06:05,080 --> 02:06:08,240
Speaker 2: if I should or not, but that gives me confidence

2490
02:06:08,680 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 2: that maybe they're not gonna be as down going into

2491
02:06:11,280 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 2: Game seven as I thought they might be.

2492
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:18,400
Speaker 3: I'd be surprised if he doesn't have thirty five. I

2493
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:20,200
Speaker 3: don't know that that's gonna be enough to win the game,

2494
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:24,480
Speaker 3: but just who he is and who he's always been,

2495
02:06:24,760 --> 02:06:27,240
Speaker 3: the competitor that he is, and the way he shows

2496
02:06:27,320 --> 02:06:30,640
Speaker 3: up in big moments, especially coming off of flat Knight,

2497
02:06:30,760 --> 02:06:33,120
Speaker 3: one of the worst nights probably in his professional career,

2498
02:06:34,160 --> 02:06:38,800
Speaker 3: and they still somehow almost won that game. I predict

2499
02:06:38,840 --> 02:06:40,560
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a way of a game now. I

2500
02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 3: don't know that it will be enough to win, but

2501
02:06:42,920 --> 02:06:46,240
Speaker 3: it is really really impressive. And you mentioned you know

2502
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:49,160
Speaker 3: what you compare it to. I would also compare it

2503
02:06:49,240 --> 02:06:52,320
Speaker 3: to Tbow after the Old Miss game Sure at Florida

2504
02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:54,400
Speaker 3: when he said you will never see a team play hard,

2505
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:58,400
Speaker 3: and there's a statue now to commemorate that in Gainesville,

2506
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,040
Speaker 3: Butler taking it and saying we wouldn't be here if

2507
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:04,320
Speaker 3: I played better, and I will play better. That is

2508
02:07:04,640 --> 02:07:08,680
Speaker 3: like you know, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris stuff. If you're

2509
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:11,440
Speaker 3: a Celtics fan, that's the last thing you want to hear.

2510
02:07:11,680 --> 02:07:15,320
Speaker 3: This is a guy that will come in there ready.

2511
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:18,480
Speaker 3: There's no question he'll be ready. I think it's just

2512
02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:20,880
Speaker 3: gonna be a great basketball game. I really hope that

2513
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:23,280
Speaker 3: it lives up to that. It will not have a

2514
02:07:23,320 --> 02:07:25,960
Speaker 3: finish as good as this, I don't think, because I

2515
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,680
Speaker 3: don't know. We've watched basketball for a lot of years, folks,

2516
02:07:29,720 --> 02:07:32,200
Speaker 3: This one tonight's one. I don't think I've seen one

2517
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:34,200
Speaker 3: quite like this. I'm not saying it's the greatest thing

2518
02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:36,800
Speaker 3: I've ever seen. I'm not gonna be that hyperbolic. But

2519
02:07:36,880 --> 02:07:39,120
Speaker 3: I don't think I will forget it in the coming

2520
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:41,200
Speaker 3: years either. It's one of those like I start to

2521
02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:44,840
Speaker 3: think back Aaron about some of these finishes in the

2522
02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 3: NBA through the years, like what really stands out? And

2523
02:07:48,440 --> 02:07:53,360
Speaker 3: Di Segre mentioned Embiid or sorry Kawhi beating Embiid sixers

2524
02:07:53,840 --> 02:07:56,160
Speaker 3: with that shot that rimmed out four times looked like

2525
02:07:56,280 --> 02:08:01,360
Speaker 3: before it dropped in. I remember Ray Allen game six

2526
02:08:01,400 --> 02:08:05,160
Speaker 3: against the Spurs hitting that three from the corner in

2527
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:09,680
Speaker 3: Miami to keep them alive in the NBA Finals, and

2528
02:08:09,800 --> 02:08:12,440
Speaker 3: that great NBA Finals between the Spurs and the Heat,

2529
02:08:13,080 --> 02:08:17,240
Speaker 3: that was a tremendous one. And this one just because

2530
02:08:17,320 --> 02:08:20,240
Speaker 3: of the circumstances, because of the three free throws and

2531
02:08:20,400 --> 02:08:22,520
Speaker 3: everything that played around it, the fact that they were

2532
02:08:22,560 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 3: down double digits twice in the fourth quarter, they were

2533
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:27,360
Speaker 3: down ten with four minutes left, they come back and

2534
02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:30,960
Speaker 3: they still get beat by a dip in with two

2535
02:08:31,240 --> 02:08:34,400
Speaker 3: point two seconds left on the clock. It's just one

2536
02:08:34,480 --> 02:08:36,360
Speaker 3: of those I don't think we're gonna forget Aaron.

2537
02:08:37,080 --> 02:08:40,080
Speaker 2: No, I don't either. And again, you know, I think

2538
02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:43,320
Speaker 2: what made this so different and so special. I don't

2539
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,920
Speaker 2: remember all the details of all those games, but it

2540
02:08:46,160 --> 02:08:49,080
Speaker 2: wasn't just that Derek White had to put back at

2541
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:51,960
Speaker 2: the buzzer. It was that the Heat overcame a ten

2542
02:08:52,040 --> 02:08:55,080
Speaker 2: point lead in the final ten point deficit, excuse me,

2543
02:08:55,120 --> 02:08:58,360
Speaker 2: in the final four minutes, and that Jimmy Butler gets

2544
02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:02,880
Speaker 2: foul trailing two, who makes all three to take the lead,

2545
02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:05,839
Speaker 2: And then to the point that the Sega made earlier.

2546
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:08,640
Speaker 2: If Boss doesn't make that shot, their season's over. This

2547
02:09:08,760 --> 02:09:12,480
Speaker 2: isn't a game two. Come back next time and get them.

2548
02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:17,560
Speaker 2: This is your season is over. And Jimmy Butler, as

2549
02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:20,120
Speaker 2: we've said a few times now, is a guy that

2550
02:09:20,760 --> 02:09:22,880
Speaker 2: he said one more stop and they couldn't get it.

2572
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:43,480
Speaker 2: and we know what this song is, it means that

2573
02:10:43,560 --> 02:10:47,280
Speaker 2: we are headed out to Vegas. Bernie Frado of the

2575
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:52,480
Speaker 2: of the hour, but he joins us. Now, Bernie, first

2576
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:56,960
Speaker 2: of all, where where were you? And was there an

2577
02:10:57,000 --> 02:11:00,360
Speaker 2: audible scream in the frattohouse when Derek White hit that

2578
02:11:00,480 --> 02:11:02,120
Speaker 2: put back as time expired tonight?

2579
02:11:02,200 --> 02:11:05,480
Speaker 14: Bernie, No, because when he hit the putback, we weren't

2580
02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:09,360
Speaker 14: sure if it was gonna count or not. And when

2581
02:11:09,440 --> 02:11:14,240
Speaker 14: they replayed it in slow motion, yes, clearly the ball

2582
02:11:14,360 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 14: got out of his hand just in the nick of time,

2583
02:11:18,080 --> 02:11:21,680
Speaker 14: three tenths of a second. To you know, do once

2584
02:11:21,720 --> 02:11:24,160
Speaker 14: again what we've seen for the umpteenth time, and that is,

2585
02:11:24,840 --> 02:11:27,520
Speaker 14: you know, realize that sports are the greatest reality show.

2586
02:11:27,720 --> 02:11:30,080
Speaker 14: And it's because you can script everything.

2587
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:33,680
Speaker 7: But the inning. But I must tell you the the Heat.

2588
02:11:34,640 --> 02:11:36,960
Speaker 14: You check that the Celtics have opened up as a

2589
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:38,960
Speaker 14: ten and a half point favorite, it's already been bet

2590
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:40,040
Speaker 14: down to eight and a half.

2591
02:11:40,880 --> 02:11:43,000
Speaker 7: The money line is minus three sixty.

2592
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:48,560
Speaker 14: Five, which which indicates, from a gambler's perspective, the Celtics

2593
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,280
Speaker 14: have a lot of seventy nine percent chance to win

2594
02:11:50,360 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 14: this game.

2595
02:11:51,040 --> 02:11:53,120
Speaker 7: I think it's more like a ninety nine percent chance.

2596
02:11:53,160 --> 02:11:54,000
Speaker 7: And I'll explain why.

2597
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:59,960
Speaker 3: Well, the Nuggets, your Nuggets, they're just sitting back watching

2598
02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:03,680
Speaker 3: all this burn. What do you think right now, just

2599
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 3: looking at what it's going to take, the energy level,

2600
02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:08,760
Speaker 3: what's gonna take for whoever gets out of the East.

2601
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:12,280
Speaker 14: Well, this is a dagger in the heart tonight to

2602
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:16,280
Speaker 14: the Heat for multiple reasons. And remember, the Celtics have

2603
02:12:16,360 --> 02:12:18,160
Speaker 14: already lost two games at home in this series. I

2604
02:12:18,200 --> 02:12:20,600
Speaker 14: don't think they lose a third. Two weeks ago, they

2605
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 14: were heading into a Game seven against Philadelphia where they

2606
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:25,880
Speaker 14: had already lost two games at home in the series,

2607
02:12:25,920 --> 02:12:27,640
Speaker 14: and I didn't think they would lose a third. I

2608
02:12:27,680 --> 02:12:29,520
Speaker 14: didn't know that they would cover the nine, but they

2609
02:12:29,680 --> 02:12:33,720
Speaker 14: basically blew Philadelphia out. A couple of things tonight that

2610
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:36,200
Speaker 14: are very serious takeaways I'll talk about on my show.

2611
02:12:36,320 --> 02:12:39,880
Speaker 14: The heat really wasted the Celtics worse three point shooting

2612
02:12:39,920 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 14: performance of this season because they couldn't make shots inside

2613
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:45,880
Speaker 14: the paint. Now the heat, they were actually hot from

2614
02:12:45,960 --> 02:12:48,320
Speaker 14: three point land. They were nine to fifteen in the

2615
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:51,560
Speaker 14: first half sixty percent fourteen to thirty for the game,

2616
02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 14: which is just almost almost fifty percent, But they couldn't

2617
02:12:55,080 --> 02:12:58,440
Speaker 14: make shots inside the paint and those struggles were enough

2618
02:12:58,480 --> 02:13:01,720
Speaker 14: to negate the good three points shooting. Meanwhile, I think

2619
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:04,520
Speaker 14: Boston corrects that and they come out shooting the lights

2620
02:13:04,560 --> 02:13:06,440
Speaker 14: out Sunday. This has a chance to be a blaw

2621
02:13:06,520 --> 02:13:09,160
Speaker 14: and I'm not predicting it, but that's a dagger to

2622
02:13:09,200 --> 02:13:11,280
Speaker 14: the heart. And I could give you two or three

2623
02:13:11,360 --> 02:13:14,000
Speaker 14: multiple sports analogies, including something that happened to the Kings

2624
02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:16,000
Speaker 14: back in nineteen ninety three in Montreal with the Martin

2625
02:13:16,080 --> 02:13:19,280
Speaker 14: miss early curve stick incident, which I know Disaega remembers.

2626
02:13:19,680 --> 02:13:22,320
Speaker 7: You don't come back from piercing to the hearts like this.

2627
02:13:22,480 --> 02:13:25,880
Speaker 2: You just don't very good burnt. Let's get to some

2628
02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:27,800
Speaker 2: other stuff, including some stuff I know you'll cover on

2629
02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:30,560
Speaker 2: your show tonight. Tell Us what is going on with

2630
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:34,280
Speaker 2: the a's and your hometown of Las Vegas adopted only?

2631
02:13:34,480 --> 02:13:35,040
Speaker 7: Well, guys.

2632
02:13:36,400 --> 02:13:40,760
Speaker 14: Senate Bill number five oh nine was proposed yesterday. It

2633
02:13:40,880 --> 02:13:44,120
Speaker 14: was actually forty four page bill. It's called the Southern

2634
02:13:44,200 --> 02:13:47,840
Speaker 14: Nevada Tourism Innovation Act. It's filed in Carson City Friday

2635
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:50,200
Speaker 14: and it was refer to the Finance Committee. So now

2636
02:13:50,240 --> 02:13:52,640
Speaker 14: the legislature will have the next week or still to

2637
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:55,200
Speaker 14: take a look at this. And you know, the lobbyists

2638
02:13:55,240 --> 02:13:57,520
Speaker 14: a way in and the financial people way in, and

2639
02:13:57,640 --> 02:14:00,480
Speaker 14: the city council away in, and the public's allowed the

2640
02:14:00,520 --> 02:14:05,320
Speaker 14: weigh in, and I expect there to be a vote here. Well,

2641
02:14:05,360 --> 02:14:07,320
Speaker 14: they're better be soon because they're going to rejourn in

2642
02:14:07,400 --> 02:14:10,120
Speaker 14: about ten days, and if they don't, there will have

2643
02:14:10,240 --> 02:14:14,440
Speaker 14: to be a special session by the governor, which no

2644
02:14:14,480 --> 02:14:17,320
Speaker 14: one wants. But there's going to be significant pushback, and

2645
02:14:17,440 --> 02:14:20,800
Speaker 14: it's a long complicated deal. One of the things he

2646
02:14:20,840 --> 02:14:23,040
Speaker 14: could hold this up is our Governor Joe Lombardo has

2647
02:14:23,080 --> 02:14:27,520
Speaker 14: insisted he will ratify no bills until there's a situation

2648
02:14:27,680 --> 02:14:30,840
Speaker 14: where the state budget has been agreed upon, and they're

2649
02:14:30,880 --> 02:14:31,640
Speaker 14: far apart on that.

2650
02:14:31,840 --> 02:14:34,880
Speaker 7: So this is a political football in many ways. Let's

2651
02:14:34,920 --> 02:14:35,760
Speaker 7: get to the chase.

2652
02:14:36,240 --> 02:14:38,800
Speaker 14: I made two phone calls to people that are extremely connected,

2653
02:14:39,680 --> 02:14:41,720
Speaker 14: and they tell me that this is going to happen,

2654
02:14:42,000 --> 02:14:44,160
Speaker 14: and so I think somewhere, somehow.

2655
02:14:43,880 --> 02:14:44,800
Speaker 7: They've got the votes.

2656
02:14:45,240 --> 02:14:49,280
Speaker 14: It's the craziest, most oblong, fly by the seat of

2657
02:14:49,360 --> 02:14:52,320
Speaker 14: your pants, ready fire aim deal I've ever seen in

2658
02:14:52,400 --> 02:14:52,760
Speaker 14: my life.

2659
02:14:53,360 --> 02:14:54,560
Speaker 7: But we think it's going to happen.

2660
02:14:55,280 --> 02:14:57,040
Speaker 3: Burn I tell yourself that I know is not going

2661
02:14:57,080 --> 02:15:00,640
Speaker 3: to happen. Arizona Cardinals winning the Super Bowl. I feel

2662
02:15:00,680 --> 02:15:01,960
Speaker 3: like there would be one of the worst scenes in

2663
02:15:02,080 --> 02:15:05,560
Speaker 3: the league. That's my segue to DeAndre Hopkins. What do

2664
02:15:05,600 --> 02:15:08,560
Speaker 3: you think of this situation? And well, I mean pretty

2665
02:15:08,600 --> 02:15:10,400
Speaker 3: much say if I could benefit from having that guy

2666
02:15:10,440 --> 02:15:13,200
Speaker 3: on their roster, but who really could benefit? What do

2667
02:15:13,240 --> 02:15:14,600
Speaker 3: you think the top landing spots are?

2668
02:15:14,760 --> 02:15:16,480
Speaker 14: Well, there are three or four teams that could really

2669
02:15:16,560 --> 02:15:18,680
Speaker 14: use him. I know the Betty Markers are telling us

2670
02:15:18,800 --> 02:15:21,160
Speaker 14: Dallas and Kansas City. I don't think he'll end up

2671
02:15:21,200 --> 02:15:24,840
Speaker 14: in either one of those for the simple reason. Kansas City,

2672
02:15:24,880 --> 02:15:27,200
Speaker 14: I don't think he'd make it work cap wise, they're

2673
02:15:27,240 --> 02:15:31,960
Speaker 14: completely cap out. But they could use him because their

2674
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:34,960
Speaker 14: depth chart is Kadarius Tony and Marquez Valdez Caantley some

2675
02:15:35,080 --> 02:15:39,760
Speaker 14: scratching Kansas City off. Obviously, Buffalo could very much use him.

2676
02:15:39,800 --> 02:15:43,560
Speaker 14: Brandon Bean is under the gun, and obviously you know

2677
02:15:43,640 --> 02:15:46,800
Speaker 14: you've got step On Diggs, but beyond him Gabe Davis.

2678
02:15:46,840 --> 02:15:49,960
Speaker 14: So there's you know, Josh Allen could really use a

2679
02:15:50,080 --> 02:15:53,640
Speaker 14: DeAndre Hopkins, but Buffalo's got a bunch of sizeable contracts

2680
02:15:53,720 --> 02:15:55,440
Speaker 14: on the books, so I don't know where they find

2681
02:15:55,480 --> 02:15:57,840
Speaker 14: the money to pay him either. You're hearing New England

2682
02:15:57,880 --> 02:16:01,000
Speaker 14: in the mix. Obviously that's a fast sating team to consider.

2683
02:16:01,200 --> 02:16:04,640
Speaker 14: For no other reason that Bill O'Brien is hopkins former

2684
02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:07,240
Speaker 14: head coach with the Texans, and so he knows the offense.

2685
02:16:07,720 --> 02:16:10,480
Speaker 14: But we don't think Hopkins wants to go there, believe

2686
02:16:10,520 --> 02:16:12,560
Speaker 14: it or not. I think it's gonna come down two teams, guys,

2687
02:16:12,960 --> 02:16:15,560
Speaker 14: the New York Giants. The Giants are coming off that

2688
02:16:15,680 --> 02:16:19,720
Speaker 14: surprise year, and you know, you add DeAndre Hopkins to

2689
02:16:19,880 --> 02:16:22,880
Speaker 14: Darius Layton, Isaiah Hodgins and Paris Campbell, all of a

2690
02:16:22,880 --> 02:16:23,480
Speaker 14: sudden you got.

2691
02:16:23,360 --> 02:16:24,360
Speaker 7: A pretty good receiving corp.

2692
02:16:24,400 --> 02:16:27,400
Speaker 14: And they paid Daniel Jones forty million, and they're expecting

2693
02:16:27,480 --> 02:16:30,160
Speaker 14: him to up his game, and you combine that with

2694
02:16:30,240 --> 02:16:33,360
Speaker 14: Saquon Barkley and in the backfield, and that would be

2695
02:16:33,520 --> 02:16:35,680
Speaker 14: quite a deal for the New York Giants. But they

2696
02:16:35,760 --> 02:16:39,440
Speaker 14: got cap situations as well. And don't discount the Detroit Lions,

2697
02:16:39,600 --> 02:16:44,520
Speaker 14: believe it or not, because once Jamison Williams gets back,

2698
02:16:44,680 --> 02:16:47,240
Speaker 14: remember he's not a gambler, he's a football player, then

2699
02:16:47,280 --> 02:16:49,880
Speaker 14: read the rules, dumbass moron.

2700
02:16:50,280 --> 02:16:52,199
Speaker 7: But you add him to Aman Ross.

2701
02:16:52,000 --> 02:16:55,280
Speaker 14: Saint Brown and Jamison Williams, who could really take the

2702
02:16:55,360 --> 02:16:58,199
Speaker 14: top off a defense. And now you get DeAndre Hopkins.

2703
02:16:59,200 --> 02:17:01,240
Speaker 14: By the way, Detroit it's got cap space. They got

2704
02:17:01,280 --> 02:17:04,200
Speaker 14: about twenty four million in cap space. So if they

2705
02:17:04,320 --> 02:17:07,199
Speaker 14: can talk Hopkins into going there, if they can convince

2706
02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:10,960
Speaker 14: Hopkins that they're a contender, I give the Lions a

2707
02:17:11,160 --> 02:17:12,119
Speaker 14: significant chance.

2708
02:17:12,280 --> 02:17:13,480
Speaker 7: So I think it's going to be the New York

2709
02:17:13,520 --> 02:17:16,240
Speaker 7: Giants or Detroit Lions. We'll see. It's a guess.

2710
02:17:16,680 --> 02:17:19,800
Speaker 2: Burn back to the Oakland A's stuff for a second.

2711
02:17:20,440 --> 02:17:24,640
Speaker 2: What has something changed? I mean, not you necessarily, but

2712
02:17:24,959 --> 02:17:26,680
Speaker 2: you know there was so much back and forth about

2713
02:17:26,720 --> 02:17:29,520
Speaker 2: would they approve, would they not approve. Obviously you talk

2714
02:17:29,560 --> 02:17:32,279
Speaker 2: to your moles today, it seems as though we're headed

2715
02:17:32,320 --> 02:17:37,120
Speaker 2: in that direction. Has something changed because it didn't seem

2716
02:17:37,200 --> 02:17:39,520
Speaker 2: as though you felt like this was close to the

2717
02:17:39,560 --> 02:17:41,440
Speaker 2: finish line a week ago when we last spoke about it.

2718
02:17:41,440 --> 02:17:43,080
Speaker 2: And forgive me if I'm just totally wrong on that,

2719
02:17:43,200 --> 02:17:44,400
Speaker 2: but that was the impression that I got.

2720
02:17:44,520 --> 02:17:46,920
Speaker 14: Well, what I've said from day one is reporting this

2721
02:17:47,160 --> 02:17:49,039
Speaker 14: is if it's a done deal, is irresponsible.

2722
02:17:49,040 --> 02:17:49,360
Speaker 3: For sure.

2723
02:17:49,720 --> 02:17:53,080
Speaker 14: I've always said it was fifty to fifty guys. Anybody

2724
02:17:53,160 --> 02:17:55,840
Speaker 14: can go online and read the bill. Show me in

2725
02:17:55,920 --> 02:17:57,720
Speaker 14: the bill where it says where the stadium is going

2726
02:17:57,760 --> 02:17:59,400
Speaker 14: to be. It doesn't even mention the site.

2727
02:18:00,200 --> 02:18:00,320
Speaker 3: Though.

2728
02:18:00,360 --> 02:18:03,200
Speaker 14: The renderings which they publish on the internet now they

2729
02:18:03,240 --> 02:18:06,400
Speaker 14: don't really much look like architectural renderings. They just look

2730
02:18:06,480 --> 02:18:09,680
Speaker 14: like artists renderings. Stadium looks beautiful, it shows three angles.

2731
02:18:10,080 --> 02:18:12,400
Speaker 14: When you read the bill, it doesn't specifically say it's

2732
02:18:12,440 --> 02:18:14,880
Speaker 14: at the Tropicanics site, and they don't even mentioned the

2733
02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:15,840
Speaker 14: Oaklan A's by name.

2734
02:18:15,920 --> 02:18:18,240
Speaker 7: It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

2735
02:18:18,360 --> 02:18:22,920
Speaker 14: And by the way, legislative officials are torn on the

2736
02:18:23,040 --> 02:18:25,080
Speaker 14: amount of money they want to give the age and

2737
02:18:25,120 --> 02:18:26,800
Speaker 14: how they want to do it, so it's.

2738
02:18:26,680 --> 02:18:28,560
Speaker 7: A real political football.

2739
02:18:29,000 --> 02:18:31,160
Speaker 14: So you know, a few weeks ago, when this really

2740
02:18:31,200 --> 02:18:34,560
Speaker 14: started to get down to the short strokes, I kept saying,

2741
02:18:34,560 --> 02:18:37,440
Speaker 14: to myself, how the hell is Major League Baseball going

2742
02:18:37,480 --> 02:18:39,400
Speaker 14: to vote on this when you don't have a general

2743
02:18:39,480 --> 02:18:43,280
Speaker 14: contractor you don't have an architectural rendering, you don't have

2744
02:18:43,400 --> 02:18:46,760
Speaker 14: so many answered questions, and it's not falling into line

2745
02:18:47,280 --> 02:18:50,160
Speaker 14: like it did when the Raiders came. For instance, are

2746
02:18:50,200 --> 02:18:52,720
Speaker 14: the Golden Knights and Bill fully built T Mobile before

2747
02:18:52,800 --> 02:18:55,800
Speaker 14: they were even granted to an NHL team. We don't

2748
02:18:55,840 --> 02:18:59,120
Speaker 14: have Sheldon Agelson anymore. Shelleon Aedelson committed six hundred and

2749
02:18:59,160 --> 02:19:02,240
Speaker 14: fifty million to their r He was the CEO of Sands,

2750
02:19:02,240 --> 02:19:05,440
Speaker 14: a philanthropist. Once he got on board, he liked Mark Davis,

2751
02:19:05,760 --> 02:19:08,240
Speaker 14: He got Cazars on board, he got MGM on board,

2752
02:19:08,440 --> 02:19:10,720
Speaker 14: Game set Match, they're your power brokers. They take it

2753
02:19:10,760 --> 02:19:14,040
Speaker 14: to our governor, Brian Sandoval. He gets the legislators to

2754
02:19:14,200 --> 02:19:16,680
Speaker 14: agree that, hey, we build this stadium a Leegian field.

2755
02:19:17,200 --> 02:19:22,080
Speaker 14: We solidify Las Vegas as a world class destination tourist attraction.

2756
02:19:22,360 --> 02:19:25,480
Speaker 14: There will be many of other events besides the Raiders, concerts,

2757
02:19:25,520 --> 02:19:27,320
Speaker 14: you name it, all kinds of things. It'll be a

2758
02:19:27,400 --> 02:19:30,080
Speaker 14: grand Slam home run, and it has been you don't

2759
02:19:30,080 --> 02:19:33,080
Speaker 14: have any of those things in play for the A's here.

2760
02:19:33,280 --> 02:19:34,240
Speaker 7: It just seems odd.

2761
02:19:34,440 --> 02:19:37,160
Speaker 14: And when you listen to the A's and the good

2762
02:19:37,200 --> 02:19:39,200
Speaker 14: folks up in the Bay Area, a lot of them

2763
02:19:39,280 --> 02:19:42,840
Speaker 14: reached out to me. They're very dubious about their owner,

2764
02:19:42,959 --> 02:19:46,480
Speaker 14: John Fisher, who's an heir to the Gap fortune. He's

2765
02:19:46,480 --> 02:19:49,000
Speaker 14: a billionaire, but he's allegedly one of these guys with

2766
02:19:49,120 --> 02:19:52,120
Speaker 14: deep pockets and short arms, not a great owner, not

2767
02:19:52,240 --> 02:19:54,800
Speaker 14: committed to winning. There are just a lot of loopholes here.

2768
02:19:54,879 --> 02:19:56,560
Speaker 14: But at the end of the day, politics makes for

2769
02:19:56,600 --> 02:19:59,200
Speaker 14: strange bedfellows. And if enough of the right people want

2770
02:19:59,240 --> 02:20:01,760
Speaker 14: to hear that fifty to fifty, as I've always said,

2771
02:20:02,040 --> 02:20:04,400
Speaker 14: could we could find out that He's are on their way.

2772
02:20:04,480 --> 02:20:07,400
Speaker 14: But again, the one thing everybody I talk to agrees on,

2773
02:20:07,840 --> 02:20:11,000
Speaker 14: until you see a shovel in the ground, or until

2774
02:20:11,040 --> 02:20:13,200
Speaker 14: you see the tropic canna raised, if that's in fact

2775
02:20:13,240 --> 02:20:16,520
Speaker 14: gonna be the sight, hold your thought, because until those

2776
02:20:16,600 --> 02:20:19,240
Speaker 14: things happen, you really can't say this is a done deal.

2777
02:20:20,320 --> 02:20:23,760
Speaker 3: Burn do you think do you think the Lakers are

2778
02:20:23,920 --> 02:20:25,880
Speaker 3: Kyrie irving away from a championship?

2779
02:20:27,640 --> 02:20:30,120
Speaker 14: Well given his great success in Brooklyn, even though he

2780
02:20:30,200 --> 02:20:32,800
Speaker 14: was so disrespectful. What that's just so awful about? And

2781
02:20:32,879 --> 02:20:34,720
Speaker 14: look how well it ended in Boston and look how

2782
02:20:34,720 --> 02:20:37,600
Speaker 14: they fell apart after he left. Meanwhile, he's been fabulous

2783
02:20:37,640 --> 02:20:40,080
Speaker 14: in Dallas. Mi'm moles telling me that Mark Cuban is

2784
02:20:40,120 --> 02:20:42,119
Speaker 14: gonna is gonna pay him. That's kind of a done deal.

2785
02:20:42,200 --> 02:20:44,240
Speaker 7: He's gonna stay in Dallas. We shall see.

2786
02:20:44,360 --> 02:20:46,840
Speaker 14: The Lakers are better off build again what they have

2787
02:20:47,120 --> 02:20:49,840
Speaker 14: with the continuity. Mark Mandina wrote a great piece about

2788
02:20:49,879 --> 02:20:51,800
Speaker 14: that earlier in the week, and I agree with him.

2789
02:20:51,840 --> 02:20:54,640
Speaker 14: So end of the day, I don't think GM Lebron's

2790
02:20:54,640 --> 02:20:56,760
Speaker 14: gonna get his way. It didn't work out well with Westbrook,

2791
02:20:56,959 --> 02:20:57,800
Speaker 14: so I don't think.

2792
02:20:57,840 --> 02:20:59,720
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't think Kyrie's coming to La.

2793
02:21:00,200 --> 02:21:02,480
Speaker 2: Nice that the MAVs finally got Luca second star.

2794
02:21:02,640 --> 02:21:04,400
Speaker 7: Oh wait, yes, nicely done.

2795
02:21:04,560 --> 02:21:07,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wait, Jaylen Brunson is a super star anyway.

2796
02:21:07,800 --> 02:21:09,480
Speaker 2: Bernie Fratto you can hear him at the top of

2797
02:21:09,520 --> 02:21:12,640
Speaker 2: the hour the Bernie Fratto Show. Also make sure to

2798
02:21:12,640 --> 02:21:14,880

2799
02:21:14,920 --> 02:21:17,520
Speaker 2: discussing all of the things we just discussed more in

2800
02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:20,640
Speaker 2: depth with much more to come at two a m.

2801
02:21:20,760 --> 02:21:23,960
Speaker 2: Eastern time. Bernie, Man, we appreciate the time and we

2802
02:21:24,160 --> 02:21:25,680
Speaker 2: will talk soon. Have a good evening.

2803
02:21:25,879 --> 02:21:27,760
Speaker 14: A tip of the caps to you guys real quickly

2804
02:21:27,840 --> 02:21:30,240
Speaker 14: for all the folks driving around. You know, even in

2805
02:21:30,320 --> 02:21:33,680
Speaker 14: Australia that weren't able to watch a game on TV dud.

2806
02:21:33,840 --> 02:21:36,760
Speaker 14: You guys did a great job bringing the raw emotion

2807
02:21:37,120 --> 02:21:40,080
Speaker 14: that was happening in that arena tonight in Miami. I

2808
02:21:40,240 --> 02:21:42,720
Speaker 14: just think when you get to Monday, guys, you're gonna

2809
02:21:42,760 --> 02:21:45,080
Speaker 14: see the talent disparity really rise to the level.

2810
02:21:45,480 --> 02:21:46,960
Speaker 7: And I think Boston's gonna handle him.

2811
02:21:46,959 --> 02:21:47,320
Speaker 3: I really do.

2812
02:21:47,440 --> 02:21:49,920
Speaker 14: But anyway, a slice at game seven, as he's saying

2813
02:21:49,920 --> 02:21:51,920
Speaker 14: in Miami, it's gonna be a wicked pissa.

2814
02:21:53,400 --> 02:21:55,640
Speaker 2: Well, thank you Bernie for the kind words. Thank you

2815
02:21:55,760 --> 02:21:57,800
Speaker 2: to the guys in the back for all their hard work.

2816
02:21:57,959 --> 02:21:59,640
Speaker 2: He is Bernie Fraddle. Can hear him at the top

2817
02:21:59,680 --> 02:22:02,600
Speaker 2: of the hour, Bernie Fratto show. Bernie will be listening, man,

2818
02:22:02,680 --> 02:22:02,920
Speaker 2: Thank you.

2819
02:22:03,320 --> 02:22:03,840
Speaker 7: Thanks guys.

2820
02:22:04,240 --> 02:22:06,560
Speaker 2: That is Bernie Fratto again. You can hear him at

2821
02:22:06,600 --> 02:22:08,720
Speaker 2: the top of the hour. Coming up a couple quick

2822
02:22:08,760 --> 02:22:10,960
Speaker 2: stories I do want to get to before we do, though.

2823
02:22:11,400 --> 02:22:13,480
Speaker 2: Final time this evening, Steve Singer, what's trending?

2824
02:22:13,560 --> 02:22:15,200
Speaker 6: A lot of hoops to get to. Let me note

2825
02:22:15,240 --> 02:22:18,600
Speaker 6: the late MLB game is still going on. Top of

2826
02:22:18,680 --> 02:22:21,120
Speaker 6: the tenth the Marlins have scored four. They're ahead of

2827
02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:23,560
Speaker 6: the Angels and still batting eight to four in the

2828
02:22:23,640 --> 02:22:26,480
Speaker 6: top of the tenth inning. Earlier, Jorge Solaire homered for

2829
02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:29,320
Speaker 6: a fifth straight game. Shoheo Tani, at five and one

2830
02:22:29,360 --> 02:22:32,080
Speaker 6: as a pitcher, was the starter for the Halos on

2831
02:22:32,120 --> 02:22:35,039
Speaker 6: the mound tonight. Ten strikeouts in six innings. He only

2832
02:22:35,080 --> 02:22:38,360
Speaker 6: gave up one earned run. The Boston Celtics will host

2833
02:22:38,400 --> 02:22:41,520
Speaker 6: a Game seven of the NBA's East Finals on Monday night.

2834
02:22:41,640 --> 02:22:44,959
Speaker 6: Boston state alive again, winning at the buzzer at Miami

2835
02:22:45,080 --> 02:22:48,320
Speaker 6: one four one oh three. Celtics led in the second

2836
02:22:48,400 --> 02:22:51,680
Speaker 6: quarter by eleven tonight. They still led by ten with

2837
02:22:51,840 --> 02:22:54,959
Speaker 6: under four minutes left in the game. Jimmy Butler put

2838
02:22:55,080 --> 02:22:58,000
Speaker 6: Miami into a brief lead with three seconds left, hitting

2839
02:22:58,120 --> 02:23:00,800
Speaker 6: three free throws. Butler finished with t twenty four points

2840
02:23:01,120 --> 02:23:02,960
Speaker 6: as of late in the game. Butler was three of

2841
02:23:03,080 --> 02:23:06,160
Speaker 6: nineteen shooting from the floor, and teammate bam Adebayo went

2842
02:23:06,280 --> 02:23:09,520
Speaker 6: four of sixteen from the floor, the win to the

2843
02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:12,440
Speaker 6: Celtics on a putback at the buzzer by Derek White,

2844
02:23:12,520 --> 02:23:16,480
Speaker 6: who also finished with six assists no turnovers. Jason Tatum

2845
02:23:16,520 --> 02:23:18,480
Speaker 6: thirty one points, most of that in the first half,

2846
02:23:18,959 --> 02:23:21,400
Speaker 6: a key he never missed a free throw. Tatum was

2847
02:23:21,480 --> 02:23:24,800
Speaker 6: fifteen of fifteen in a game you win at the buzzer.

2848
02:23:25,240 --> 02:23:28,119
Speaker 6: Jalen Brown twenty six points, Marcus Smart and the Celtics

2849
02:23:28,160 --> 02:23:30,200
Speaker 6: twenty one points. The rest of the team from three

2850
02:23:30,240 --> 02:23:32,880
Speaker 6: point range was three of twenty four, and Boston's still

2851
02:23:32,959 --> 02:23:36,280
Speaker 6: alive heat guard Gave Vincent was questionable with the sprain

2852
02:23:36,320 --> 02:23:38,880
Speaker 6: ankle he'd missed the previous game. He did start tonight

2853
02:23:38,959 --> 02:23:42,880
Speaker 6: for Miami, went six of eighteen shooting with five fouls.

2854
02:23:43,200 --> 02:23:47,000
Speaker 6: The NBA Finals won't begin until Thursday. We've been saying

2855
02:23:47,040 --> 02:23:49,920
Speaker 6: all week. Yeah, likely at Denver, because you know, Miami's

2856
02:23:49,920 --> 02:23:51,800
Speaker 6: the eight seed in the East. We don't know where

2857
02:23:51,879 --> 02:23:54,080
Speaker 6: Game one is going to be. We do know it's Thursday.

2858
02:23:54,160 --> 02:23:57,760
Speaker 6: For the record, Denver is undefeated at home in this postseason,

2859
02:23:57,879 --> 02:24:00,200
Speaker 6: eight to zero. Milwaukee has a new head coach, which

2860
02:24:00,240 --> 02:24:03,400
Speaker 6: not officially but multiple reports say it will be Raptors

2861
02:24:03,480 --> 02:24:06,960
Speaker 6: assistant Adrian Griffin once they hammer out a contract. Mike

2862
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:10,640
Speaker 6: Budenholzer was let go after five seasons, including an NBA title.

2863
02:24:10,879 --> 02:24:14,480
Speaker 6: Griffin's first assistant coaching job was with Milwaukee through twenty ten.

2864
02:24:15,080 --> 02:24:18,039
Speaker 6: Adrian Griffin, as a college player, was inducted into Seaton

2865
02:24:18,080 --> 02:24:21,160
Speaker 6: Halls Athletics Hall of Fame. He played with five NBA teams,

2866
02:24:21,200 --> 02:24:24,520
Speaker 6: including Boston and Dallas. Got into the finals with Dallas

2867
02:24:24,879 --> 02:24:27,959
Speaker 6: Stanley Cup. Dallas Star is still alive. They're down three

2868
02:24:28,040 --> 02:24:30,680
Speaker 6: games to two in the West Final. Now Dallas got

2869
02:24:30,760 --> 02:24:32,480
Speaker 6: back to back goals in the third and one at

2870
02:24:32,560 --> 02:24:35,400
Speaker 6: Vegas tonight four to one. So the Dallas victory extends

2871
02:24:35,480 --> 02:24:38,480
Speaker 6: the series and it means officially the Stanley Cup Final

2872
02:24:38,520 --> 02:24:42,000
Speaker 6: will not start until next Saturday. Game six of this

2873
02:24:42,120 --> 02:24:44,920
Speaker 6: conference final will be in Dallas on Monday night. Florida

2874
02:24:44,959 --> 02:24:47,959
Speaker 6: waits in the Cup final after its West Carolina. FS

2875
02:24:48,040 --> 02:24:52,119
Speaker 6: one is carrying USFL games this weekend Saturday and Sunday.

2876
02:24:52,160 --> 02:24:54,920
Speaker 6: They're replaying one right now. Birmingham at five and two

2877
02:24:55,000 --> 02:24:57,920
Speaker 6: beat New Orleans. Did you see that the Chicago Bears

2878
02:24:57,959 --> 02:25:01,600
Speaker 6: will start demolishing Arlington Park ra track next week, where

2879
02:25:01,600 --> 02:25:03,560
Speaker 6: they hope to build a new stadium. The team's played

2880
02:25:03,560 --> 02:25:06,240
Speaker 6: at Soldier Field since nineteen seventy one. It has a

2881
02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:09,120

Speaker 2: dot com slash match. So, Jason, interesting thing happened to

2919
02:27:06,879 --> 02:27:11,080
Speaker 2: me this week Little storytime with Torres. So Lakers get

2920
02:27:11,240 --> 02:27:15,800
Speaker 2: swept on Monday night, and so obviously it means there's

2921
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:19,720
Speaker 2: no Game five, no Game six, no Game seven, and ESPN,

2922
02:27:19,760 --> 02:27:23,640
Speaker 2: who's the broadcaster, has to fill airtime. So my wife

2923
02:27:23,680 --> 02:27:24,840
Speaker 2: and I are gonna go out and grab a bite

2924
02:27:24,840 --> 02:27:27,600
Speaker 2: to eat. Normally when Lakers Game five would be on,

2925
02:27:27,920 --> 02:27:32,040
Speaker 2: but it's not on. So instead they are playing The

2926
02:27:32,200 --> 02:27:35,800
Speaker 2: Last Dance. They are playing the Michael Jordan documentary. Maybe

2927
02:27:35,840 --> 02:27:38,640
Speaker 2: it was ironic, maybe it was unironic that they're playing

2928
02:27:38,680 --> 02:27:41,640
Speaker 2: the Michael Jordan documentary after Lebron got swept in a

2929
02:27:41,760 --> 02:27:44,600
Speaker 2: time spot where Lebron got swept. I bring it up

2930
02:27:44,840 --> 02:27:47,200
Speaker 2: because I'm watching it and I just kind of throw

2931
02:27:47,280 --> 02:27:49,600
Speaker 2: out a tweet that I don't think much of, just

2932
02:27:49,680 --> 02:27:52,640
Speaker 2: because I just basically said, hey, you know, love Lebron,

2933
02:27:52,720 --> 02:27:56,240
Speaker 2: always loved him. But I mean, when you watch this

2934
02:27:56,440 --> 02:28:01,400
Speaker 2: MJ documentary, there is no way not comparing talent, but

2935
02:28:01,520 --> 02:28:04,879
Speaker 2: comparing the competitiveness, the will to win, whatever, There's never

2936
02:28:04,920 --> 02:28:07,440
Speaker 2: been anybody like MJ. Never will be. I bring it

2937
02:28:07,560 --> 02:28:11,680
Speaker 2: up for two reasons. One last count the tweet had

2938
02:28:11,800 --> 02:28:15,360
Speaker 2: between retweets and quote tweets calling me the dumbest person

2939
02:28:15,480 --> 02:28:18,039
Speaker 2: ever over three hundred retweets.

2940
02:28:18,160 --> 02:28:18,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

2941
02:28:18,840 --> 02:28:20,720
Speaker 2: Yes. And I bring it up not because I'm some

2942
02:28:20,920 --> 02:28:23,200
Speaker 2: incredible genius and I went viral and give me a

2943
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:26,320
Speaker 2: pat on the back for going viral. I bring it

2944
02:28:26,400 --> 02:28:31,000
Speaker 2: up because everybody can pretend like the mj versus Lebron

2945
02:28:31,160 --> 02:28:34,120
Speaker 2: thing doesn't matter, and it's the dumbest sports talk conversation.

2946
02:28:35,080 --> 02:28:37,240
Speaker 2: I will tell you from some of the respect, it

2947
02:28:37,440 --> 02:28:41,360
Speaker 2: brings out the best and worst in all people when

2948
02:28:41,400 --> 02:28:44,920
Speaker 2: you talk sports. And I bring it up because I

2949
02:28:44,959 --> 02:28:46,720
Speaker 2: think it brought out the worst in one of Michael

2950
02:28:46,760 --> 02:28:50,440
Speaker 2: Jordan's former teammates yesterday, Scottie Pippen.

2951
02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:51,120
Speaker 7: Oh boy.

2952
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:54,480
Speaker 2: Here is what Scottie Pippen had to say on this debate.

2953
02:28:55,360 --> 02:28:58,360
Speaker 12: Lebron will be the greatest statistical guy to ever played

2954
02:28:58,360 --> 02:29:02,279
Speaker 12: the game of basketball. Is no comparison to him none.

2955
02:29:02,879 --> 02:29:05,360
Speaker 12: So does that make him the greatest player they ever

2956
02:29:05,400 --> 02:29:08,199
Speaker 12: play the game? I leave that out for debatings because

2957
02:29:08,360 --> 02:29:10,400
Speaker 12: I don't believe that they's a great player. Because our

2958
02:29:10,480 --> 02:29:12,920
Speaker 12: game is a team game, and one player can't do

2959
02:29:13,040 --> 02:29:15,640
Speaker 12: it like I've seen Michael Jordan play before I came

2960
02:29:15,720 --> 02:29:18,000
Speaker 12: to play with the Bulls. You guys seen him play.

2961
02:29:18,440 --> 02:29:20,880
Speaker 12: He's a horrible player. He was horrible to play with.

2962
02:29:21,240 --> 02:29:24,119
Speaker 12: He was all one on one. He's shooting bad shots,

2963
02:29:24,640 --> 02:29:27,600
Speaker 12: and all of a sudden, we become a team and

2964
02:29:27,720 --> 02:29:30,600
Speaker 12: we start winning. Everybody forgot who he was.

2965
02:29:31,879 --> 02:29:36,240
Speaker 2: That was courtesy of Give Me the Hit Sauce podcast.

2966
02:29:36,320 --> 02:29:38,120
Speaker 2: I am not familiar with them, but if they're getting

2967
02:29:38,120 --> 02:29:40,879
Speaker 2: guests like Scottie Pippen, they're obviously doing pretty well for themselves.

2968
02:29:41,640 --> 02:29:45,040
Speaker 2: Uh Jason. I will say in Scottie Pippen's defense, the

2969
02:29:45,200 --> 02:29:50,240
Speaker 2: quotes on social media were a little skewed, but seems

2970
02:29:50,400 --> 02:29:54,400
Speaker 2: like there's some friction between Scotty Pippen and Michael Jordan,

2971
02:29:54,520 --> 02:29:57,000
Speaker 2: and some might say it actually stems from that Last

2972
02:29:57,080 --> 02:30:00,680
Speaker 2: Dance documentary. Remember Scotty Pippen was not happy with documentary

2973
02:30:00,680 --> 02:30:05,400
Speaker 2: at the time, and Scottie Pippen basically saying, my MJ

2974
02:30:05,520 --> 02:30:08,400
Speaker 2: didn't do anything without me. He didn't exactly say that,

2975
02:30:08,480 --> 02:30:09,720
Speaker 2: but he kind of basically said.

2976
02:30:10,400 --> 02:30:14,440
Speaker 3: They isn't new. I mean, Scottie Pippen has kind of

2977
02:30:14,560 --> 02:30:17,240
Speaker 3: held this grudge and it's been out there for a while.

2978
02:30:18,600 --> 02:30:20,440
Speaker 3: I remember he was trying to shop a book I

2979
02:30:20,560 --> 02:30:23,480
Speaker 3: think a few years ago when he was burying MJ.

2980
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:28,560
Speaker 3: Then there's always been this kind of thing there Scottie

2981
02:30:28,560 --> 02:30:32,680
Speaker 3: Pippen has. It's kind of been sad to watch because

2982
02:30:32,840 --> 02:30:35,680
Speaker 3: he's not gonna win these arguments. He's not doing himself

2983
02:30:35,720 --> 02:30:39,240
Speaker 3: any favors, but he does keep himself in news cycle

2984
02:30:39,320 --> 02:30:42,279
Speaker 3: once every couple of years when he takes another shot

2985
02:30:42,920 --> 02:30:47,200
Speaker 3: at Michael Jordan. The reason why there is an MJ

2986
02:30:47,480 --> 02:30:50,320
Speaker 3: lebron debate that you hear all the time is because

2987
02:30:50,360 --> 02:30:53,760
Speaker 3: it moves the needles. As lazy as we all find

2988
02:30:53,840 --> 02:30:57,840
Speaker 3: it to be, it wouldn't continue to be the crutch

2989
02:30:57,920 --> 02:31:01,680
Speaker 3: everybody goes to in this industry when they have nothing

2990
02:31:01,720 --> 02:31:05,680
Speaker 3: else to talk about if people didn't listen to it exactly.

2991
02:31:05,920 --> 02:31:09,480
Speaker 3: That's the thing like it does, and that's why your

2992
02:31:09,520 --> 02:31:13,040
Speaker 3: tweet had that kind of response, because it does. It

2993
02:31:13,160 --> 02:31:15,440
Speaker 3: brings out the Lobrono stands, and it brings out the

2994
02:31:15,600 --> 02:31:18,440
Speaker 3: MJ stands, and of which I am one, but.

2995
02:31:19,920 --> 02:31:20,280
Speaker 7: I mean.

2996
02:31:22,840 --> 02:31:24,840
Speaker 3: The pipp inside of it. I just kind of rolled

2997
02:31:24,879 --> 02:31:26,960
Speaker 3: my eyes calling him a horrible player. Say it's a

2998
02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:30,640
Speaker 3: team game. It's just all of it. He's been salty forever.

2999
02:31:31,040 --> 02:31:34,240
Speaker 3: He's wanted so much credit forever. I think he always

3000
02:31:34,280 --> 02:31:36,320
Speaker 3: felt little brother like. I think he thought he was

3001
02:31:36,400 --> 02:31:39,320
Speaker 3: so important to Jordan at all times. He should have

3002
02:31:39,360 --> 02:31:41,360
Speaker 3: been a top fifty player all the time, and he was,

3003
02:31:41,480 --> 02:31:43,480
Speaker 3: but some people believed he shouldn't have been there, that

3004
02:31:43,760 --> 02:31:47,240
Speaker 3: Jordan made him and all this. The problem with Pippin

3005
02:31:47,360 --> 02:31:51,160
Speaker 3: is he's not just stating things on a reasonable level.

3006
02:31:51,760 --> 02:31:55,000
Speaker 3: There's no nuance to it. Michael Jordan's a horrible player,

3007
02:31:55,680 --> 02:31:57,760
Speaker 3: Like that's just a dumb take. Like you can say

3008
02:31:58,280 --> 02:32:00,480
Speaker 3: he was better when he had better people around him,

3009
02:32:00,560 --> 02:32:03,320
Speaker 3: because that's just a factual statement about just about anybody

3010
02:32:03,520 --> 02:32:07,640
Speaker 3: you put better. You have Williams around Lebron James Moll,

3011
02:32:07,640 --> 02:32:10,080
Speaker 3: Williams was a good player. They didn't win a championship.

3012
02:32:10,120 --> 02:32:12,760
Speaker 3: He left Cleveland and went to Miami, surrounding himself with

3013
02:32:12,840 --> 02:32:15,440
Speaker 3: Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, won multiple championships, came back,

3014
02:32:15,600 --> 02:32:18,160
Speaker 3: had Kyrie Irving there, got Kevin loved there, won a

3015
02:32:18,240 --> 02:32:21,760
Speaker 3: championship in Cleveland. Like, these are factual statements. But to

3016
02:32:21,920 --> 02:32:24,040
Speaker 3: just come out and say, oh, he was a horrible

3017
02:32:24,080 --> 02:32:27,560
Speaker 3: basketball player also give Lebron the props for his stats

3018
02:32:27,640 --> 02:32:30,080
Speaker 3: and then say, I'll let everybody make hello. Everybody else

3019
02:32:30,120 --> 02:32:31,920
Speaker 3: do that, but this is a team game. And then Barry,

3020
02:32:32,680 --> 02:32:36,080
Speaker 3: it's just it's just sour from Scottie Pippen. But this

3021
02:32:36,280 --> 02:32:38,200
Speaker 3: is just kind of who this guy seems to be

3022
02:32:38,440 --> 02:32:39,680
Speaker 3: when it comes to this issue.

3023
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all of its stems from the MJ

3024
02:32:42,000 --> 02:32:45,080
Speaker 2: documentary because he did the MJ documentary and he was

3025
02:32:45,200 --> 02:32:49,000
Speaker 2: like very quotable and honestly, like, I hope I'm not

3026
02:32:49,120 --> 02:32:51,800
Speaker 2: being facetious or mean spirited when I say this, but

3027
02:32:52,160 --> 02:32:55,280
Speaker 2: you know, he's clearly like well put together, clean shaved,

3028
02:32:55,360 --> 02:32:58,959
Speaker 2: all that, and now you see him now and doesn't

3029
02:32:59,120 --> 02:33:00,880
Speaker 2: look like he's in very very good shape. I mean,

3030
02:33:00,920 --> 02:33:02,640
Speaker 2: some of those interviews that he did when the book

3031
02:33:02,680 --> 02:33:05,480
Speaker 2: came out didn't seem mentally in very good shape. So

3032
02:33:05,520 --> 02:33:08,600
Speaker 2: I hope whatever, you know, if I hope, he's just

3033
02:33:08,760 --> 02:33:10,800
Speaker 2: he just doesn't like MJ. And that's all there is

3034
02:33:10,879 --> 02:33:14,920
Speaker 2: to it. But it's definitely you know, it was definitely

3035
02:33:14,920 --> 02:33:18,600
Speaker 2: an interesting quote. And to your point, yes, people can

3036
02:33:18,680 --> 02:33:21,080
Speaker 2: claim they're tired of it, but every time something like

3037
02:33:21,160 --> 02:33:23,960
Speaker 2: this comes up, people click in by the way. Chris

3038
02:33:24,040 --> 02:33:27,520
Speaker 2: Brussard and Ephraim Salam talked about it on The Odd

3039
02:33:27,560 --> 02:33:30,400
Speaker 2: Couple yesterday a little over a day ago.

Speaker 9: because he holds the information at his hand.

3051
02:33:59,800 --> 02:34:01,720
Speaker 2: Right now, good basketball.

3052
02:34:02,080 --> 02:34:05,920
Speaker 9: It is over, and the Boston Celtics have boldly and

3053
02:34:06,120 --> 02:34:12,000
Speaker 9: impossibly gone where no NBA team has gone before. Down

3054
02:34:12,160 --> 02:34:15,160
Speaker 9: three to oh, they have forced a seventh and deciding

3055
02:34:15,280 --> 02:34:17,440
Speaker 9: game at the buzzer.

3056

Speaker 2: courtesy of Celtics Radio Network, and of course, of course

3062
02:34:41,120 --> 02:34:45,279
Speaker 2: it was the winner in Game six as the Celtics

3063
02:34:45,480 --> 02:34:48,840
Speaker 2: force a Game seven. Jason, let's just get right to it.

3064
02:34:49,160 --> 02:34:53,360
Speaker 2: Game seven Monday night in Boston, as Bernie Frado said,

3065
02:34:53,400 --> 02:34:55,199
Speaker 2: Celtics open as a ten and a half point favorite.

3066
02:34:55,200 --> 02:34:57,600
Speaker 2: It has been already bet down to eight and a half,

3067
02:34:58,200 --> 02:35:00,480
Speaker 2: but it doesn't change the fact that it's teams as

3068
02:35:00,560 --> 02:35:05,160
Speaker 2: though the betters, the market makers seem to think that

3069
02:35:05,280 --> 02:35:09,000
Speaker 2: the Celtics are going to win and win convincingly. What

3070
02:35:09,240 --> 02:35:11,080
Speaker 2: is your take, what is your thought? What is your

3071
02:35:11,160 --> 02:35:14,960
Speaker 2: opinion on the Celtics heat Game seven.

3072
02:35:16,120 --> 02:35:19,640
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised at that line. I'm not surprised it's

3073
02:35:19,680 --> 02:35:21,920
Speaker 3: getting bed down a little bit. I expect maybe it'll

3074
02:35:21,959 --> 02:35:25,800
Speaker 3: come up again. But this is kind of what we've

3075
02:35:25,879 --> 02:35:28,959
Speaker 3: talked about tonight. When you blow a three to zero

3076
02:35:29,080 --> 02:35:32,240
Speaker 3: lead to a team that was better, right, the team

3077
02:35:32,320 --> 02:35:34,600
Speaker 3: that was a higher seed, which is the thing that

3078
02:35:34,680 --> 02:35:37,600
Speaker 3: has never happened in this circumstance. The three other teams

3079
02:35:37,640 --> 02:35:40,200
Speaker 3: that have come back from an O three deficit have

3080
02:35:40,320 --> 02:35:42,160
Speaker 3: then gone on the road in Game seven, but the

3081
02:35:42,240 --> 02:35:44,840
Speaker 3: Celtics host it and in fact, if they win, they'll

3082
02:35:44,840 --> 02:35:48,320
Speaker 3: host the NBA Finals. They're a fifty seven win regular

3083
02:35:48,400 --> 02:35:54,960
Speaker 3: season team. The way Miami lost Game six heartbreaking. We

3084
02:35:55,040 --> 02:35:57,920
Speaker 3: all saw it last night. We covered it. It happened live.

3085
02:35:58,000 --> 02:36:00,160
Speaker 3: You listen to the podcast, you'll hear us, you know,

3086
02:36:00,400 --> 02:36:02,840
Speaker 3: emotion in the moment, what was happening as this all

3087
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:08,120
Speaker 3: was going down. And the only thing that gives me

3088
02:36:08,200 --> 02:36:10,000
Speaker 3: any pause other than the fact that I just have

3089
02:36:10,160 --> 02:36:13,880
Speaker 3: a tremendous respect for Eric Spolsra as a coach, is

3090
02:36:14,560 --> 02:36:18,720
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler because he's just different and I could see

3091
02:36:18,800 --> 02:36:20,920
Speaker 3: him showing up and having one of those nights that

3092
02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:24,640
Speaker 3: we will talk about forever. I told you my prediction

3093
02:36:24,840 --> 02:36:26,880
Speaker 3: is he won't have less than thirty five points in

3094
02:36:26,920 --> 02:36:30,440
Speaker 3: this game. Question is will it be enough? I tend

3095
02:36:30,520 --> 02:36:32,680
Speaker 3: to think No, I tend to think. I mean, I

3096
02:36:32,800 --> 02:36:35,120
Speaker 3: have to go with what's obvious. What's obvious is that

3097
02:36:35,240 --> 02:36:38,680
Speaker 3: the Celtics should win this game. I did pick him

3098
02:36:38,680 --> 02:36:40,720
Speaker 3: to win the NBA. I picked him and win the

3099
02:36:40,840 --> 02:36:43,480
Speaker 3: Larry O'Brien Trophy before the playoffs started. That's not why

3100
02:36:43,520 --> 02:36:45,440
Speaker 3: I'm picking him here. I'm picking him here because it's

3101
02:36:45,560 --> 02:36:48,200
Speaker 3: the logical thing to do. It's the most likely thing

3102
02:36:48,800 --> 02:36:51,560
Speaker 3: that would happen at this point, because hey man, nobody's

3103
02:36:51,600 --> 02:36:54,000
Speaker 3: ever come back and won a game seven from O

3104
02:36:54,120 --> 02:36:56,560
Speaker 3: three down. That okay, that is true. No one's ever

3105
02:36:56,640 --> 02:36:59,920
Speaker 3: come back, no one's ever hosted it. And you look

3106
02:37:00,200 --> 02:37:01,560
Speaker 3: it and you say, man, you got to win four

3107
02:37:01,640 --> 02:37:03,240
Speaker 3: in a row. Well no, now you don't. Now you

3108
02:37:03,360 --> 02:37:05,280
Speaker 3: just got to win one game. Now, it's one game

3109
02:37:05,320 --> 02:37:07,920
Speaker 3: and anything can happen. And I think the most likely

3110
02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:11,000
Speaker 3: scenario is that the Boston Celtics will get the job done.

3111
02:37:11,280 --> 02:37:14,400
Speaker 2: We really only got a short time left. But fun

3112
02:37:14,480 --> 02:37:18,039
Speaker 2: story to end the show. Did you see that Will

3113
02:37:18,240 --> 02:37:22,920
Speaker 2: Ferrell might be John Madden? They might be making a

3114
02:37:23,000 --> 02:37:26,240
Speaker 2: John Madden movie. Will Ferrell would be playing John Madden.

3115
02:37:26,240 --> 02:37:29,160
Speaker 2: According to multiple reports. What do you think you think

3116
02:37:29,200 --> 02:37:30,280
Speaker 2: Will Ferrell can pull it off?

3117
02:37:31,080 --> 02:37:32,840
Speaker 3: I assume so. I don't think you'd take it if

3118
02:37:32,840 --> 02:37:35,480
Speaker 3: be couldn't unless they were doing something where he clearly

3119
02:37:35,640 --> 02:37:39,160
Speaker 3: was not trying to be John Madden, accepting kind of

3120
02:37:39,200 --> 02:37:42,680
Speaker 3: a almost like a comedic sense. But I don't think

3121
02:37:42,720 --> 02:37:45,000
Speaker 3: that you do this movie in that way like this

3122
02:37:45,240 --> 02:37:47,359
Speaker 3: and the kind of thing you do a satire parody

3123
02:37:47,480 --> 02:37:51,879
Speaker 3: kind of deal. Farrell has more range than he shows,

3124
02:37:52,160 --> 02:37:54,800
Speaker 3: Like he did a film called Stranger than Fiction years ago.

3125
02:37:54,800 --> 02:37:56,440
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it, you should check it out,

3126
02:37:57,400 --> 02:37:59,960
Speaker 3: where he shows a lot more range, a lot more death.

3127
02:38:00,480 --> 02:38:02,880
Speaker 3: You don't get to see it too often. I would

3128
02:38:03,040 --> 02:38:04,959
Speaker 3: not bet against him because I just don't think he'd

3129
02:38:04,959 --> 02:38:07,480
Speaker 3: take on a project that he'd be terrible at, and

3130
02:38:07,560 --> 02:38:09,040
Speaker 3: I don't think they would hire him to do it

3131
02:38:09,240 --> 02:38:12,199
Speaker 3: when there's other guys that could do that role potentially better.

3132
02:38:12,400 --> 02:38:16,320
Speaker 3: So I would tend to bet on Ferrell because he's

3133
02:38:16,360 --> 02:38:19,080
Speaker 3: a superstar. He knows his own limitations, but he also

3134
02:38:19,200 --> 02:38:22,000
Speaker 3: knows what he's capable of, and I just feel like

3135
02:38:23,200 --> 02:38:25,199
Speaker 3: I would. I would, I would give him the chance.

3136
02:38:25,320 --> 02:38:27,240
Speaker 3: My mind is open to think he could pull it off.

3137
02:38:28,240 --> 02:38:31,080
Speaker 2: Well, we will get some more details on that, but yes,

3138
02:38:31,160 --> 02:38:34,039
Speaker 2: it appears as though Will Ferrell will be playing John

3139
02:38:34,120 --> 02:38:37,080
Speaker 2: Madden in a movie about John Madden's life. Some reports

3140
02:38:37,160 --> 02:38:41,520
Speaker 2: came out about that today. Celtics Heat Game seven on Monday.

3141
02:38:42,040 --> 02:38:44,040
