18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Well one game in the books on Opening Night, which

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: means now the rest of the country, we're all gonna

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: get to see the Warriors and the Lakers. The Thunder

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 1: hold off the Rockets in double overtime one twenty five

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: to one. Twenty four thanks to Kevin Durant fouling Sga

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: in the dying seconds of double ot he fouls out

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: of the game. He should have just kept walking to

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: the locker room because KD that was awful. Sga, of

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: course hits the two free throws and the thunder win

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: it one twenty five, one twenty four, you know, And

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: that's the thing is Kevin Durant's been around a long

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: time obviously, right, And what you're watching him defend SGA

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: in this final play, and he's doing a really good job,

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: and Sga is trying to get buy him, dribbling back,

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: trying to get buy him back. This is a phenomenal

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: job of one on one defending. But you're Kevin Durant.

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: You have to know SGA wants to get to the

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: free throw line, right. I know you saw him hit

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: a shot to tie the game to send it to overtime.

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: I get it. You wan't want to stop that, but

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: it's like KD couldn't help himself, right, you can see

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: you got it. Right, Whenever a guy is doing all

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: those moving and back and forth and try you know

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: that he is just waiting for you to make a mistake.

42
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: He's not confident in his shot. He's not confident with

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: what he wants to do. Do I want to get

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: to the rack? Do I want to pull up for

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: a shot?

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: No?

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: And you know Sga makes his living at the free

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: throw line. This is what he does. And so when

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: I watch KD, I'm like, he's playing great. And then

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: he lunges, and of course Sga, because he's such a

51
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: smart player, jump right up into him, gets the foul call,

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: goes the free throw line, and hits two. And I

53
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: want to walk off and tell Kevin Durant, dude, you

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: know better, man, you know better than to do that.

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: I had some rookie on on yourself, but you know

56
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: better man, You know you know you got him. And

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: not only that, you know how this play is going.

58
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: You know you have him. And he's not full of confidence, right,

59
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: And he's gonna put him some kind of crazy off

60
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: balance shot, or he's gonna try to dribble to the

61
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: side and put up a different kind of off balance

62
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: shot from fifteen foot maybe on the inside of the elbow,

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: and it's not a great look, but still he couldn't

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: help himself. And I lunge out at him and he

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: goes up absolute foul. Katie should have kept walking. I

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: knew it. I blew it for you guys. I'm so sorry.

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm walking out. I shouldn't stay here anymore because we're

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna lose, because I couldn't help myself.

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 4: Oh you see, Shongoon is just the body likes of

70
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: No you bailed him out. You did all that work

71
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: to leave your feet and bail him out to let

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: him go to the foul line. Now, he did miss

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: four free throws over the course of the night, but

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: of course money when it matters, twelve to twenty six

75
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: from the field, one of nine from three point range

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: was Gildas Alexander in this one doesn't matter. Thirty five

77
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 4: points and the game winning free throws in the season's

78
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: tip off as they celebrate Ring Knight, Banner Night and

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: all that other stuff and they get the hard fought

80
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: w That was just demoralizing, though, if you're a Rockets

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: player and you're on the court and it's like that

82
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: much work that Kad did and then I got got

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 4: Of course, I wish you would have just slapped him,

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: you know, one of those Hey do something with the

85
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: ball already, you follim follow him.

86
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, don't bail him out like that. He Katie,

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: you gotta know better, man, you really, you gotta know better.

88
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: But he's getting forty five million a year, Nay, one

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: game and we give it to them, And it would

90
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: have been such a huge win for the Rockets coming

91
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: off as off season where hey, maybe we're taking that

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: next step. But no, Fred van Vliet really at just

93
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: a very shocking story in the middle of the off season.

94
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, it's done for this. We're not gonna

95
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: get Fred van Vliet means a huge deal. This guy

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: makes the engine go. They could have come in and

97
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: wanted the defending champs court opening night and suddenly, hey man,

98
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: we're we're feeling good. And instead Kevin Durant gives them

99
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: the win and I get that they're gonna push. Hey,

100
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: we pushed the defending champs the double overtime. We should

101
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: have been no, no, no, they they would have had

102
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: It would have been an incredible start for them. Don't

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: bury us. Everything is great, and instead it's wow, you

104
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: just played right into their hands and he made a

105
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: huge mistake.

106
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you can celebrate what Shingoun did thirty

107
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: nine on the night thirty nine, eleven and seven. He

108
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: was twelve to twenty four in the field, five of

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: eight from three and took care of his work at

110
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: the foul line. But Durant Lake, we talked about it

111
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 4: after the third quarter, he took what two shots, yeah, yeah, three,

112
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 4: three shots, three shots for the At the end of

113
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: the game he was two of three, but four from

114
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 4: three point land And obviously the big gaff and giving

115
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: into what SGA wants to do with the basketball and

116
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 4: the closing minutes of a game.

117
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: Now the other big story tonight. Obviously we've just gotten

118
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: to the game two the Warriors and the Lakers. Warriors

119
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: lead at thirty seven to thirty one, six and a

120
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: half to go in the second quarter. Luca is off

121
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: to a great start for the Lakers. I think he

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: had nine points in the first eight minutes. Very chippy game.

123
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: You're in the second quarter and now we're getting this

124
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: game on NBC. And as Steve Desager brought this to

125
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: us a half hour ago, and what's trending, it's a

126
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: new world order now right Like first hour of the show,

127
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: we talked about, Hey, NBA is back on NBCCE and

128
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: we talk about the pageantry and how great it was.

129
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: But this game goes to double overtime. And normally when

130
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: ESPN has the game, T and T has the game, hey,

131
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: they hold it as much as they can. But hey,

132
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: you can see this game over on ESPN two until

133
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: this game ends, and we'll flip back over. Go turn

134
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: it over on ESPN News, Go see it over here.

135
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: This game is on ABC, whatever it is, there was

136
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: always a place. Hey, if I want to see the

137
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: beginning of this game, I'm gonna get to go see it.

138
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: But now this is a new again. They' spent a

139
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: lot of money for this for the next decade. This

140
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: is stuff you just have to get used to. I

141
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: can't tell you any more than that. They're not going

142
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: back to the old way. As slowly as time has

143
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: gone on the last couple of years, we are we

144
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,320

155
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: real rough. Hey, get used to it right away. Out

156

189
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: That would be good. But yeah, it'll cost a total

190
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: of six hundred and fifty dollars this season to watch

191
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: every NBA game across all services.

192
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 6: Woo.

193
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. Man, It's a lot of games.

194
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: But that's a lot of money. But that's just it.

195
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, when we did that math with

196
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 4: the NFL once upon a time, I had the Bears

197
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 4: and I had when whatever game was either the forty

198
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: nine ers or the Cowboys and maybe an AFC game

199
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: mixed therein.

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: And I was okay, yeah.

201
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 4: And and most folks, I don't think they want to

202
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: consume every game.

203
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: No, and that, but that and that's the thing, and

204
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: that's why the model for the NFL, which is you

205
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: buy the package for out of for out of for

206
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: out of market games, and you buy the package on YouTube.

207
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: Now it's been the last couple of years, but you.

208
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: Got to pay the eighty two bucks a week right

209
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: right right right YouTube TV YUS plus the NFL PAS

210
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 4: and it's.

211
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: A and it's a it's a you know, a six

212
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: month thing or a four month thing. The overall value

213
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: you get because it's a Sunday, it's one day. It's

214
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: all the games, it's your friends are coming over. And

215
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: it's a one day thing. Right You're still getting the

216
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night games, Monday night games, there's a night games.

217
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: You're watching those, but it's a one day thing. And

218
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: it's if I miss it, I miss basically all of

219
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, right that I don't get to see maybe

220
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: I like red Zone, maybe I I want I want

221
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: to flip around and see all the games.

222
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: You know.

223
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: They they have the four box now on YouTube where

224
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: you can see four games at once, sometimes even more.

225
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get to see all the late games at

226
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: once when it's when they're on TV. But one day

227
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: a week, and it's a sweet spot because the NFL

228
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: can charge that because okay, it's four months, it's four months,

229
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: and it's it's a one day. It's Sunday when you're

230
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: sitting around doing nothing and you're watching TV, or it's

231
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: a day of relaxation. But for the NBA, I don't

232
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: think anybody feels like they're overserved or they're underserved with

233
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: the NBA. Right, it's a highlight league and it's okay

234
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: you Adam Silver said, yeah, do I need to spend

235
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: that kind of money? Or can I watch the highlights?

236
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: Or can I watch my local game? Maybe I get

237
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: a late game. There's so many games every night right

238
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: the NBA, we talk about it. They have Opening Night

239
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: for a month. Right, every night from now until the

240
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: middle of November through the middle of November is Opening

241
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: Night because we get great matchups and all of this.

242
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Do you really need to see all of them?

243
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 3: Right?

244
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: That's the thing is that is the demand there for

245
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: you to have to see all that the NBA has

246
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: to offer, or can you pick and choose? Right when

247
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: the commissioner says we're a highlight league, I know right away, Okay,

248
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: I don't need to spend all that money because I'll

249
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: just see the highlights. I'll find a way to see

250
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: the end of a game, or I'll follow it on

251
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: a computer. Maybe I'll just have an app that I

252
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: can get there and see the end of a game.

253
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: But like this, this this is a really big test

254
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: for what people are going to actually shell out and

255
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: pay for with the NBA because now, okay, this is

256
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: the first year where you're seeing this national product. You

257
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: now have to go places to go get it. And

258
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: are they gonna get is it gonna grow? Is it

259
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna be something that that people are gonna want to consume.

260
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: It's a big ask for Yes, it's a lot of games,

261
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: but it's also a lot of money for a product

262
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: that many fans can say, Yeah, I get my fill

263
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: of the NBA every week, Right, I get the highlights,

264
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I get the storyline. Stuff off the court is just

265
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: as entertaining stuff on the court. Sometimes if I miss

266
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: a couple of buzzer beaters, I miss a couple of

267
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: buzzer beaters, I see it on Twitter a minute or

268
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: a half later, and I'm okay with it. I don't

269
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: know that there's so much MUSTYTV in the NBA that's streaming.

270
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Is something that can be a big home for the

271
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: NBA because there's so many games. Something I've used before,

272
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: but we'll circle back. Yesterday was we commemorated the what

273
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: would have been the seventy fifth birthday of Tom Petty.

274
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: The song the last DJ ahead of this time as

275
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see

276
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: how much you'll pay for what you used to get

277
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: for free. Mike, Mike Drop, Yeah, Yeah, I mean really,

278
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: because sometimes sometimes I get it where Hey, we had

279
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: we had a great run in the fast lane and

280
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: it was free for a long time, and now we

281
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: have to start to start paying money. Right, So, whenever

282
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: you used to go to a mall, you would just

283
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: park and go in. I'm parking and going in. But

284
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: now you go to a mall, you gotta pay and

285
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, sometimes they validate, sometimes they don't. But

286
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: you still want to go to the mall. So I'm

287
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna pay now twelve dollars where I used to park

288
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: for free. Okay, I'm going to the mall.

289
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Do that.

290
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: That's the same here you were paying. Yeah, it was

291
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 4: just a matter of it was fractionalized, right. You didn't

292
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: have to decide between all the different streaming services. You

293
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: had your cable package and if you looked at it,

294
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: that's why you always had those fights over what what

295
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: you were paying for. Yes, but I don't watch that channel.

296
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: I'm paying two dollars a month for what I'll be

297
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: I'll be right.

298
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: I have a lawn. What are you doing? I don't

299
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: care about better homes and gardens. I'll be really interested

300
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: to see just how the streaming product goes with the

301
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: NBA and what the ratings are with the downloads are,

302
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: what the streams are, if we get told the truth,

303
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: because boy, it's a lot of product and no one

304
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: feels like they're underserved with it. It's a really it's

305
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: really again when the commissioner says we're a highlight league, Okay,

306
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: oh that means I gotta see all the games. No, No,

307
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: it means you just gotta see the highlights. Six point

308
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: game here, Come on, Exit out about a Fresco exit

309
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,800

Speaker 1: He is on Twitter at John Morosi and I know

380
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: it's a tough day for you, John Paul. I want

381
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: to say thank you for joining us. After explaining to

382
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: your dad somehow how the Tigers and Tarique school Ball

383
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: are two hundred and fifty million dollars apart, and likely

384
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: the Mets are going to trade for him, So I

385
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: know it was a tough day. Thank you for joining

386
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: us on the show.

387
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: It is only a matter of time, my friend, it

388
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: is only a matter of time before he is in Flushing,

389
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: Queens pitching for your team. But he is not pitching

390
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 3: for the Mets or the Tigers in this World Series.

391
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 3: There are a couple great ball clubs that will be

392
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 3: contesting this Fall Classic. And before we go any further,

393
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I have to say that I should have trusted my

394
00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 3: hometown team more. I gotta admit that right away the

395
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: Bucks would win. I was wrong, and the Lions. For

396
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: the first time this year, I picked against him and

397
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 3: was humbled in the process. So maybe maybe they will

398
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 3: be uh contesting in football's version of the World Series

399
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: later on, but we are several months away from selling

400
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: matters matters there.

401
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: Well, I'm see, I'm okay with all that because you

402
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: just told me that the Mets are going to get Schooble,

403
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that. You can say whatever you

404
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: want to if you really think that's gonna happen, that's great.

405
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: Well, not not imminently. You have to wait for that

406
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 3: one too. I don't think it'll be this offseason, but

407
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: maybe it's a deadline maybe next off season. The Mets,

408
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, the Mets have some issues the

409
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 3: likes of which Schooble alone will not solve. The Mets

410
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: have some issues that go beyond one starting pitcher. But

411
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: there is time. Indeed, well we can we can reconvene

412
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: the Mets therapy sessions really on a weekly basis if

413
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: you want all the way through the fall and winter.

414
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: So well, we will make sure we do that after

415
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: the final out of this world series is recorded, which

416
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: I think, by the way, those that are forecasting a

417
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: breezy second straight championship for the Dodgers, I think have

418
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: not been paying close attention to the American League payoffs.

419
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 4: Smith really adept at getting his own needs in, so

420
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 4: we got the Mets talk in.

421
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: So let's let's get to the how are you two

422
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars? Apart from Tarik school?

423
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: Like anybody, they want to give him a dollar, he

424
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: wants two hundred and fifty million dollars.

425
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: I mean it's not hard. I mean, how are you

426
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: that far away?

427
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: What's the quarter of a billion dollars? On?

428
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: That's right? Between friends.

429
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 3: Absolutely stopped us before, never stopped us before. But as

430
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: you may have surmised, I have I have returned home

431
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: from my travels there of the American League Championship Series,

432
00:19:54,359 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: a great series, classic classic Game seven. And by the way,

433
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: we are having this conversation on the fiftieth anniversary of

434
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: the Carlton Fiscal actually able to talk to him last

435
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: week about it. I felt as though this was like

436
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: a very long, extended postgame interview from fifty years ago

437
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 3: that I was if I was on the field, if

438
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,719
Speaker 3: they had if I had been alive, and if they

439
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 3: had had a sideline reporters back in the day, what

440
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 3: would I have asked Fisk in that moment. So that

441
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun. By the way, one of

442
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: my favorite notes, and I would recommend the full podcast

443
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: at some point, wrote Cooper down, is that the production

444
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: team actually had to explain to Robin Williams why that

445
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 3: game was such a big deal. So obviously Matt Damon knew,

446
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 3: but they had to say, okay, Robin Williams, sit down,

447
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: we got to explain this. So, you know, Robin had

448
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: the connection to the Giants and as a baseball fan,

449
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 3: but did not really know just how important that game

450
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: is in the lore of New England. And so that

451
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 3: was my favorite detail that puch Fitz told me that, yeah,

452
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: they Matt Damon said that they had to coach up

453
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 3: Robin Williams on how important that whole game was, had

454
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 3: to go see about a girl, the whole story that

455
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 3: they had to actually coach him up on that a

456
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: little bit. That was probably my favorite part of the conversation.

457
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 4: But to that conversation with White Sox all the famer

458
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: Carlton Fiska.

459
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 3: And we covered that too, We covered that part of

460
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: his he played for Bolt Socks. There was obviously the

461
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: Red Sox didn't quite value him in the proper way,

462
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 3: and then he went on and became a legend with

463
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: the other color of stockings. But again, let's let's maybe

464
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: get back to what I was trying to say at

465
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: the outset, which is I think that the Blue Jays

466
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: are going to present the toughest lineup that the Dodger

467
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: pictures have had to deal with. And I also think

468
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 3: that their rotation is in some ways a mirror image.

469
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 3: Obviously they're all right handed, but has that same approach,

470
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: A lot lot of splitters, a lot of power stuff. Now,

471
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: Trey and Savage, what a sensation he's become as a rookie.

472
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: He starts Game six. I don't know how you get

473
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 3: any more confidence to what Trey Savage has right now

474
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: to be able to start an elimination game at home

475
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,239
Speaker 3: and and help this team deliver the win there. So

476
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: I'm I am bullish on the Jays chances they may

477
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: have actually stumbled into. Chris Bassett is a legitimate bullpen option.

478
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 3: After he pitches the eighth inning last night, Jeff Hoffman

479
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: gets the final three outs Vladimir Guerrero Junior and ascended Starr,

480
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: He's able to have a huge postseason. Springer has the

481
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: big home run last night. So yeah, yes, and well

482
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 3: I'm not going there.

483
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: It's still part of our history here and with the

484
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 4: Dodgers waiting on him.

485
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 3: Well, the Dodgers, the Dodgers v. George Springer, that's a

486
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: real one. That is a real story, no question about it.

487
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: Then I'm sure Dodgers Stadium will be ready to But

488
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: I look at these two teams as being very closely matched.

489
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 3: I still probably believe it's gonna be the Dodgers, but

490
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 3: it's gonna be six games and not the three and

491
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 3: a half that some people think that seemed to be

492
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: a possibility.

493
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, John Paul, we talked about this

494
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: last night. So you were talking about the first big

495
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: bold predictions. While I think in the World Series, no

496
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: matter how you slice it, I think the Dodgers lefties

497
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: absolutely feast in this series off of the Blue Jays pitching, Otani, Freeman, Muncie.

498
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like this. These are going to be

499
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: the guys that carry the Dodgers in this World Series.

500
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think to your point that, well, first

501
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 3: of all, the Mariners had cal Raley, and now the

502
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: Dodgers have maybe not some of that hit sixty homers

503
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 3: this year, but they've got multiple left handed threats, and

504
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: I think it'll be interesting to see exactly how Dave

505
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: Roberts separates those lefties out. Obviously you can go Otani one,

506
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: Freeman three and handle it from there. I mean, you're right.

507
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have to see one. One neutralizer

508
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 3: often is the split split is a neutralizing pitch from Gossin,

509
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: from you Savage obviously Bieber his stuff. Really I thought

510
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: ticked up what you saw from there in Game seven

511
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 3: some good sliders. So I think in general you're right

512
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: that the lefties, whether it's a young Mason flu Hardy,

513
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: is going to have to, I think have the series

514
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: of his life now. He, of course, back on August

515
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 3: the tenth, truck out Otani and Bets to end the game,

516
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 3: which is the reason why it's the Jays and not

517
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 3: the Dodgers with home field advantage. How about that, Bason

518
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: flu Hardy, go back, look at that play by play,

519
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: bass is loaded one out situation. Flu Hardy comes in

520
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 3: and it's Otani Bets and he strikes them both out

521
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 3: and the Jays win the game and they finished with

522
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 3: one more win than the Dodgers this year. Pretty interesting

523
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: story there. So I do think flu Hardy is someone

524
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: that we're going to see probably a good amount of.

525
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: They may actually change up a bit of their their

526
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: late inning approach, maybe one more, but maybe they find

527
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: a way to get Nance back on there. I do

528
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: think Little is someone that they don't probably have a

529
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 3: ton of confidence in based on what happened in Seattle

530
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: in Game five. But probably the biggest adjustment to the

531
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: roster is going to be Bobaschett coming back, and I

532
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: think he's probably going to be a tin shitter type.

533
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: I would say that it's unlikely that you're going to

534
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 3: see George Springer starting in the outfield right now, especially

535
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: after the knee situation that he went through in the ALCS.

536
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 3: So my expectation is Springer stays in the DH role

537
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: and bo is there to face Alex Vesia in a

538
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: big spot.

539
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: Well, and that becomes the curiosity, right how deep can

540
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 4: you get into these games with the Dodger starters? Last

541
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 4: round wasn't look obviously the three home runs by show

542
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 4: Aotani in the clincher, but the offense still looking to

543
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 4: break through as a whole. But for the Dodger pitching,

544
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 4: got to imagine Dave Roberts has to go to that

545
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: Bengo card a little more frequently.

546
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and too think about just how dominant the

547
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 3: rotation was, especially in the first two games in the

548
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: series against Milwaukee. Nell was unbelievable. Yamamoto unreal And that's

549
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 3: the benefit. And we've been debating this since the beginning

550
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 3: of time in baseball, which is rest versus Russ and

551
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: maybe at the beginning of time. But I think can

552
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 3: get the idea last hundred years or so, and I

553
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: think you discuss that the Dodgers, I think it will

554
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 3: maybe be a bit of an adjustment for them where

555
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: they're walking into Rogers Center and the Jays just won

556
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 3: this emotional game they've had. They've really cranked up the

557
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: whole bit advantage. And now the Dodgers, after having several

558
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 3: days of just workouts and kind of clinching early and

559
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 3: clinching fast against the Brewers, they've got to get right

560
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 3: back into this super high intensity environment. So I like

561
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: the Jays chances to win one of those first two games,

562
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 3: even though they're going to be facing Nell and Yamamoto

563
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: with the benefit of extra rest. The one thing you

564
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: would say is it with Snell, the Jays did not

565
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: encounter a lefty starter in the Alcs. It was, of

566
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: course alrighty's and so I think that you know this

567
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: will be again. Snell is not a generic lefty obviously,

568
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: but but for the righty bats in Toronto's lineup, maybe

569
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: it results in some better at bats even even more

570
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: production from guys like Springer. Those writings are really vital

571
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 3: to the Jay's success here in this postseason.

572
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the starting pitching, and it's something we've

573
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: talked about the last few days where it's almost it

574
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: almost reminds me this with the Dodgers and the Blue

575
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: Jays have a bit of warning for the Dodgers of

576
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: the twenty fifteen World Series, where the Mets just pitched

577
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: hot knife through butter through the cubs and then you

578
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a bounce in the World Series,

579
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: you defensively you're not as strong, and suddenly look at

580
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: the Royals winning the World Series. But like, I feel

581
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: like that's gonna the Dodgers can't expect to pitch like

582
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: they did in the NLCS. They're probably gonna get a

583
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: little bit of a bounce. However, maybe they're a baut

584
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: to starting to wake up, and I got a sneaking

585
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: suspec they're going to just hit the crop out of

586
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: the ball those first couple of games in Toronto.

587
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's retally, it's a good hitting environment, good

588
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: hitting ballpark. That's but that's that's the big question, right,

589
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 3: is a little more unfamiliarity. They've got no familiarity with

590
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: your savage beyond seeing them on TV and seeing them

591
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: on the video wise, So that's it's certainly now you've

592
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: got the project machines and all these different fancy things

593
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 3: that teams can do to get even better looks at

594
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 3: at at pitchers. But I think that when you consider

595
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: the way the Dodgers have hit in this postseason you

596
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, it's not as though they've been the twenty

597
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: seven Yankees is putting up all kinds of runs here

598
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: and there. They've they've been winning because they're pitching, really

599
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: And I think it's actually a pretty interesting comparison that

600
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: you make to the Mets Royal series because the Royals

601
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: that team. First of all, they didn't have anybody offensively

602
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: who was clicking quite like Biddy has been in these playoffs,

603
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: but they did have a very good contact oriented team.

604
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: And I think my favorite stat, you know, Buster only

605
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: mentioned this, I think during the ALCS at this point

606
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: in time, I believe Laddie is that six homers and

607
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: two strikeouts for the whole postseason, six homers and two strikeouts.

608
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: So if you've got guys that are putting the ball

609
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 3: in play, and the Jays do a pretty good job

610
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: of that, they can bump when they have to. This

611
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: is the type of team that I believe would would

612
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 3: give the Dodgers some fits. And I think the Dodgers,

613
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 3: obviously they strained a bit more to win that series

614
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: against the Phillies they did against the Brewers and the

615
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: Phillies I think in some ways have a lineup that

616
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: that is a little similar to what Toronto has. But

617
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 3: I think in some ways Toronto's lineup is the best

618
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: in a postseason setting that the Dodgers will have faced,

619
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: and they're gonna have a real challenge here. I think

620
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: this is gonna be a very very tight series that

621
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: goes at least six games, and I think there's gonna

622
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: be a lot of really fun storylines emerging. Of course,

623
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: you've got Freddie Freeman, his parents are both Canadians, and

624
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: you that story two tasker Andandez facing his former team.

625
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: A lot of really cool notes. In addition to the

626
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 3: fact that Boba Schett, what kind of stage will that

627
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: be for him to come back ideally for the Jays

628
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: into some kind of a role in the World Series.

629
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: It's it's gonna be special Canada hosting the World Series

630
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: for the first time in more than thirty years.

631
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at John Morosi, That is at John Morossi,

635
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. I appreciate it that. I think I'm probably gonna

636
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: have to pick the Lions to win, just as soon

637
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: as I figure out who they're gonna play and the names,

638
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: the names of players and the team beyond Jared Golf.

639
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: But I've only lost one, so I've been feeling pretty

640
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: good about it.

641
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: It's okay if you pick them not to lose this

642
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: week because they have a buy. I think you're gonna

643
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: be fine. You'll be fine this week. You'll be fine

644
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: to say no way, you guarantee they won't lose this week.

645
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: You guarantee still talk baseball after the game board of

646
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: the World Series.

647
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea, John Paul, we'll talk

648
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: to you after game one. Look forward to it.

649
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: I like that he transitioned to I was like, I

650
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 4: was only coming.

651
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: On from my allons, Kate, what are you going to do?

652
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: Let's do baseball a little bit of that? Uh time

653
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: not to find out what's trending in the wide world

654
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: of sports. From someone who's been called the Blake Snell

655
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio. You can find him after the

656
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: show tonight playing Twitch answering questions. It's Steve Disager.

657
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: I thought it's because they told me you have to

658
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 6: defer money.

659
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well, well that's separate conversation, separate conversation.

660
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 6: I'm just assuming I'm not going to get it from

661
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 6: this place. By the way, he referenced that the La

662
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 6: Dodgers had that. We brought this up last night on

663
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 6: the show. They had that weekend series in August hosting

664
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays. Dodgers were going for the weekend sweep.

665
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 6: The bullpen blew the Sunday afternoon game, giving up two

666
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 6: homers in the eighth one and the ninth. The ninth

667
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 6: inning he was talking about bottom of the night. Dodgers

668
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 6: wound up leaving sixteen men on the base that day

669
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 6: and because of that day, they finished with one fewer

670
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 6: victory than Toronto. So the World Series starts in Canada

671
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 6: Friday night on Fox TV Toronto hosting the Dodgers and

672
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 6: Yes in Game one, LA says it will start pitcher

673
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 6: blakesnew then Yoshinobu Yamamoto to start Game two in Toronto

674
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 6: on Saturday night. Freddy Freeman today was asked about the

675
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 6: layoff the Dodgers after a four game sweep with a

676
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 6: full week off before Friday night finally arrives He pointed

677
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: out that last year, the LCS finished for the Dodgers

678
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 6: on a Sunday and then they had to wait the

679
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 6: five day work week until a Friday night game one.

680
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: We did have game one.

681
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 6: Of the regular season in the NBA Tonight, Opening Nights

682
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,880

Speaker 6: pregame and then the game went double overtime. OKC edging

684
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,240

685
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 6: thirty five points, including the game winning free throws. Apparently,

686
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: it had been twenty years since we had had a

687
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 6: double o overtime game on opening night in the league.

688
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 6: The only other game on the slate tonight is about

689
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,680

00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 6: well quite thank you, twenty two points for him in

692
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 6: the first half and seven rebounds. However, the game has

693
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 6: twenty seven turnovers combined. Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans

694
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 6: was injured broken claviical less I could return in December.

695
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 6: The Jets are expecting to start quarterback to Rod Taylor

696
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,320

707
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: my long shot pick of the Colts to go to

708
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and now, boy, if you got him

709
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,239

710
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: long shot NBA Finals picks on opening night here? That's

711
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: not long shot, I mean the Knicks are the absolutely going,

712
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: but long shot NBA Finals picks coming up next, right here,

00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: What's in the bag for Shark or something? Early in

719
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,479
Speaker 1: the third quarter, Warriors over the Lakers sixty seven fifty eight.

720
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: Again early in the third, nine and a half left

721
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: to go. Second game, opening night, we had a big

722
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: thriller earlier won by the Oklahoma City Thunder because Kevin

723
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: Durant had a brain cramp at the end of the game.

724
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: But what happens. The only been in the league eighteen years.

725
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: So it's it's you know, it's it's it's you know,

726
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: you gotta learn a little bit. If Torriso is part

727
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: of the ball, you gotta learn. Uh. Now we are

728
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 1: sitting here on Opening night, and I guess I'm feeling

729
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of on a heater. Following my last off season,

730
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: like in the spring when the Colts got Daniel Jones

731
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: and I said, Hey, remember I don't say this that

732
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: often long shot super Bowl picking the AFC plus ten thousand,

733
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: watch out for the Colts. Daniel Jones will fit into

734
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: this offense. They have a lot of playmakers. And suddenly, hey,

735
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: you get that Colts a plus ten thousand. Man, you

736
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: might be thinking, hey, they're gonna buy me out of this. Uh,

737
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a lot of money here. Already they're

738
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: a number one seed in the AFC. So how about this,

739
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: how about some long shot picks to go to the

740
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. I mean, obviously the Knicks are going, but

741
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: long shot picks outside of the top ten teams that

742
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: we got one team of ten thousand and one. Do

743
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: you have one team of ten thousand and one?

744
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 4: By the way, the culture now just five to one? Yeah,

745
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 4: plus ten chips plus two fifty bills in three twenty.

746
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: Five bolt plus five hundred? What are the Jets plus

747
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: a million plus twenty thousand? That's it?

748
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 4: Really okay, I gotta think that you just hit a

749
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 4: point where there's no interest and now might as well

750
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: take them off the board.

751
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: In the East, it is a little bit more wide open. Yes,

752
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: the Nicks and the Cavaliers are the favorites, but the

753
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: youth of the Pistons, they're not gonna stick up on

754
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: anybody this year, right obviously, but this is a team.

755
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: They like to play a lot of guys. They're young.

756
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: They kind of remind me maybe they're a new sort

757
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: of Thunder or Minnesota Timberwolves kind of team, where hey,

758
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: we can play really hectic across the board. We have

759
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: really good defensive players. Thompson is a really good player.

760
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: Jade and Ivy if he's healthy. Is a big thing, right,

761
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: it was a big thing the end of last year.

762
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: It's got a big thing this year. But looking for

763
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 1: a team, hey, yeah, they're gonna be you expect a

764
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: little bit more out of them. But they are pretty

765
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: talented across the board. Cad Cunningham has become a star.

766
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: He's only twenty four to twenty five years old. Yeah,

767
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: a long shot. Detroit Pistons NBA Finals.

768
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: They are forty to one to win it all. Like

769
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 4: you know, that translates back into a nice robust well.

770
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 4: Only eleven to one for the Eastern Conference, in other words,

771
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 4: the well, but talking.

772
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: About how strong much easier to get out of the

773
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: East than to beat one team in the West at

774
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: the end of the year.

775
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: No, that's it because I was looking at it as well.

776
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean the Eastern Conference, where do you find a

777
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 4: little bit of run? And I look at Atlanta, who

778
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 4: are right there ten to one, eleven to one, nine

779
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 4: to one, depending on where you're betting, you find a

780
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 4: little bit of variance. But Trey young Porzingis who I'm

781
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 4: still a sucker for Rishache. Yeah, because I can do it,

782
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 4: like the Reco commercials and all of that stuff. Daniels

783
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 4: on the defensive end, Alexander Walker who comes over and

784
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 4: may may find that next step in his career as

785
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: he changes squad. So I like the depth that they've got.

786
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 4: And again the Eastern conferences where we're trying to find

787
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 4: their path of least Resis's.

788
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: Much easier to you can make this, make this argument

789
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: happen in the East.

790
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, you want to you want to get bold, Yeah,

791
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 4: you you want to get tucky. There's a couple of

792
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 4: teams in the West like, well, if this breaks right

793
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 4: and this guy stays out, no no, no, no, we're

794
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 4: going where there may be a little more chaos now

795
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 4: in the West.

796
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I got a couple of team including my plus

797
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: ten thousand watch out because one of these years Wemby

798
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: gets it all together when it's time and this Spurs team. Look,

799
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about having the number two overall picking the

800
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: draft and Dylan Harper. They make the trade last year

801
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: for dearon Fox Steph Castle. I've talked about him ad nauseum.

802
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: But if this is it Wenby who has grown two

803
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: inches apparently in the offseason, but muscle. I am not

804
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: going to be surprised if all of a sudden, the

805
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 1: Spurs are just rolling through people because they're just that talented,

806
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: they're young, and Wemby becomes the best player in the NBA.

807
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen at some point. I thought maybe towards

808
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: the end of last year. But he got hurt. He

809
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: had the blood clot problem. That that hopefully he's got

810
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: a clean bill of health. Now that's great. Excited to

811
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: see him back, But I would not be surprised with Wemby.

812
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: This takes this step to be the best player in

813
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: the NBA. It's the Spurs again, a little bit more

814
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: of a long shot, but they certainly have all the

815
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: talent to put it together. They are my long shot

816
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: NBA team in the West to go to the finals.

817
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 4: Thirty to one for the conference. I think we get

818
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 4: to watch a little wemesday Wemby on Thursday night, I

819
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 4: was planning something a little special because the trading card

820
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: license has gone back to Tops. Yeah, Tops Big is Thursday.

821
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 4: Seth Myer is actually doing something with a bunch of

822
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 4: Knicks round table and opening packs. But maybe maybe I'll

823
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 4: find a box for us to open along gear because

824
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 4: they play the Mavericks. And that's why I'm looking at

825
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 4: thirty three to one to win it. But it's all

826
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 4: a matter of health, right, It's that's that's really it.

827
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: You just look at it from Anthony Davis who came

828
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 4: in a little thick unless he's just you know, pad

829
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 4: it up, like you know just what it is.

830
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's he's he's gearing up for the

831
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: long season. That's what that season they just had to

832
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: fat bear contest.

833
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 4: See that they declare the winner of that before hibernation

834
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 4: was fattened up, before you go into uh into slumber.

835
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: Now you want to have some fun. Okay, this is

836
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: this is a fun off the wall. Yep. John Morant

837
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: has to have a big year. Like his NBA future

838
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: is sitting around, Like is John Morant going to turn around?

839
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: Is he going to be the guy we thought he

840
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: was three years ago? After suspensions and questions about motivation,

841
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,439
Speaker 1: they made a couple of trades. It lookd they traded

842
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: away Desmond Bane. They're basically like, hey, we don't know

843
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: what we're gonna be No, he's wearing a mask down

844
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: in Orlando, but well, Baine is always gonna wear a mask.

845
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying he got all the teammates on.

846
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 4: No one knew who know that they watched that mask.

847
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 4: No one knew who he was before he put on

848
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 4: the masks. You want to have some fun. Could I

849
