1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We're always friends, but this is now friends act. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: I just slapped the floor mark. I'm ready to play 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: some defense here. I'm not used to that for new 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: new NBA Playoffs round to the Celtics two games to 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: none on the Raptors. Surprised. Yeah, actually, I really am. 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: I really thought that Sergebaca, Marcus Soul, former Defensive Player 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: of the Year. These guys are champions. I didn't think 9 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: that they would be outplayed by Robert Williams and Daniel 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: Tye or even Grant Williams for that matter. And the 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: Celtic bags have really gone a great job to be 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: a long stories for Toronto Broadcasting from the Mercedes Man. 13 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: This is Dan Patrick Final hour on this Thursday. It's 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: been exciting so far. First two hours. Brooklyn Nets have 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: a new head coach, former two time MVP Steve Nash, 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,959 Speaker 1: come on down. I didn't even hear his name, rumored 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: to be a head coach in the NBA. Developed a 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: relationship with Kevin Durant when he was a special consultant 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: in Golden State, and now he's his head coach. They're 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: rumblings in the Big Ten Right now, multiple reports that 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: the Big Ten is going to have a revote perhaps 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday, and decide if they are going to 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: play football. This is what I don't understand. I don't 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: know how many yes votes it would take. Is it 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: just a simple majority? What happens if you say no? 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: But then you're in the minority? Here? Do you still 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: have to play football? Let's say Northwestern says we don't 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: want to play football. What if three other teams are 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: with them, so then they don't have to play football? 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Is it the majority is going to vote on the 31 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: Big Ten whether the Big Ten is playing football or 32 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: it's whoever is saying yes. If it's a majority, then 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: you can play football. How many teams does it take? 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: How many schools would it take for the Big Ten 35 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: to have a schedule? And I don't know about the 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: structure of the vote. That's what I find interesting here. 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: And if you're gonna have fourteen votes here with the 38 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: chancellors and the presidents representing each school, can you have 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: eight yeses and six nos and then the eight play? 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: Do you need ten? We might actually have a Big ten, 41 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: because it will it be ten to four If I 42 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: have Ohio State, Iowa, Nebraska. We know those are yeses 43 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: right now. I don't know about the other schools. I'm 44 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: assuming Wisconsin is all in. I'm assuming yes. Penn State's 45 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: really good this year, so they wouldn't they be a 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: yes or I don't know, if you know, I don't know. 47 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: We reached out to all these coaches and even Barry 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: Alva as the athletic director at Wisconsin because he's a 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: major player in this, and everybody went radio silent, which 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: is there? You know, they're right, they're progative. But as 51 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: I said at the start of the show, I didn't 52 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: even know that we were getting to the point where 53 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: there was going to be a revote. I said, it's 54 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: been quiet in the Big Ten, and I'm going to 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: view that as a positive. But I don't know anything 56 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: other than that. From what I was told from my 57 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: source this morning, there's a real philosophical divide in the 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Big Ten right now. But I don't know how many 59 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: yeses it takes to play football or how many knows 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: it takes to shut this down. Yeah, I McLevin quick, 61 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: impossible question for you. You said October tenth would possibly 62 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: put them in position for the college football playoff if 63 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: there's COVID cancelations. Is there a minimum number of games 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: a team will have to play to get to the 65 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: college football playoff? How's that all going to work? I 66 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: don't know. If you push back the playoffs, I think 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: you're trying to build in a bye week for everybody 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: so that you can kind of hit the reset button 69 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: on making sure that you're following safety protocols there. I 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: don't know how many games you have to have. I 71 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: think it's just they're gonna go on the rankings here 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: if that was they're gonna have a national title game. 73 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: They're planning on having a Final four, whether the Big 74 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: Ten is involved or not. If you'd like to get 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: in touch with the program, you can eat seven seven 76 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: three D P Show email Andre stp at Dan Patrick 77 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. Whole question for 78 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: the final hour is what McLeod who needs playoffs success 79 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: the most right now? Clayton Kershaw is a strong number one, 80 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: James Harden, then Mike Trout, then jans An called bo 81 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: I'm saying the whole first day, and then Lamar Jackson's 82 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: only at three percent, which is funny because I'm seeing 83 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that storyline a lot that Lamar Jackson has to prove 84 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: he could do it in the playoffs. Yeah, but I 85 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: you know, as young as he is, I'm not going 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: boys he's a failure or he can't win the big one. 87 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm not there yet with Lamar Jackson and Mike Trout 88 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: can only do so much that I don't really put 89 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: it on positional players as much as I do pitchers 90 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: and how you do in the postseason. James Harden, that 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: window of opportunity I think has left the building and Yannis, 92 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: you can't bow out in the second round. You shouldn't 93 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: bow out in the second round. And I think the 94 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: pressure would be next year with Jannis of how far 95 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: are you going to get in the postseason? But the 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: Miami Heat pick up the win last night, controversial finish. 97 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: I didn't like either of those calls at the end 98 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: of the game. And who would have thought that James 99 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Harden defense would be the reasons why or one of 100 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: the reasons why the Rockets are going on to face 101 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: the Lakers. That'll be tomorrow night Game one, Nuggets Clippers 102 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: Game one tonight, the Raptors in the Celtics Game three. 103 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: Who would have thought we would be at the maker 104 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: break point for the Raptors this season. At that game 105 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: coming up tonight, game three down, two games to none. 106 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: We'll go inside the bubble. Sam Amock of The Athletic 107 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: does a great job get his thoughts on a variety 108 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: of things NBA wise, including Steve Nash going to the nets. 109 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: I'm also hearing that Tyron Lou is going to get 110 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: a job ty Lou. Now, I had said this before 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: the seventy sixers, you know they were they were looking 112 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: at Jay Wright at Villanova. I said, he's not leaving 113 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: Villanova to take the Sixers job. And then Jay Wright 114 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: came out yesterday and said, I'm not leaving Villanova like 115 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick said, I'm not leaving Villanova to take the 116 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Sixers job. He's got a great, great job there, a 117 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: great gig. Why would you take on the headache of 118 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: the seventy sixers right now? So, Tylu, I think he'll 119 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: get a strong run there with Philadelphia from what I'm told, 120 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: But Jay Wright, no, I'm not going to do that. 121 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Let me see Michael in Chicago. Hey Mike, what do 122 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: you have for me today? Hey Dammacon, I'm at hey 123 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: first time callers six, one, two hundred. Just touching on 124 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: the poll question of which player needs playoffs affects the 125 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: most as a Detroit Lions saying, I gotta say it's 126 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: Masts Stafford. No. I love guy, but national media always 127 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: say and he needs that playoff winn to take the 128 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: next step and become an elite quarterback. So all right, well, 129 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: thank you, Michael. I don't think there'd be many people 130 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: who would single out Matthew Stafford, Like we're just talking 131 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: about getting a playoff win. The other guys were talking 132 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: about winning a title. So the expectation level is a 133 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: whole lot different for Matthew Stafford. We'd be satisfied if 134 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford went ten and six and they won their 135 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: first round game. We were like, it's pretty good year 136 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford. Expectations are tamped down a little bit 137 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: with the Detroit Lions. Let's see what else. Oh, Leonard 138 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: Fournette going to Tampa Bay. I kept thinking this, you know, 139 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: Tampa is loading up like they have three tight ends, 140 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: three tight ends, quality tight ends, three tight ends, A 141 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: couple of really good wide receivers. Now Ronald Jones the 142 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: second and Leonard Fournette running back. They could use a 143 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: few more alignement problem. But now all of a sudden, 144 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: you know we're looking. Tom's gotta be going. Tom Brady's 145 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: gotta go. Wait, is this real like I had? I 146 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: had a dream last night that I had three tight 147 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: ends and two really good wide receivers and two running backs, 148 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and I got a really great offensive minded headcat. It 149 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: is real, as opposed to Cam Newton going. Okay, I 150 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: had this crazy dream that the Panthers let me go. 151 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: I went to New England. I have to follow in 152 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's footsteps. And then I look around and I 153 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: got Julian Edelman. Oh no, that is reality. That's all 154 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: I have is Julian Edelman, A Rex Burkhardt, and Sony Michelle. Yeah, 155 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: Paul Brady's used to seeing a rookie five nine wide 156 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: receiver out of New Hampshire as his new hot target 157 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: five nine white guy out of New Hampshire. He's scrappy. Yes, 158 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: I saw an Eagle's reporter tweet this, and I might agree. 159 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: Is this Bucksteam starting to feel a little bit like 160 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: the Eagles dream team with n be Awesome Way and 161 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: all those names. Is it feeling a little like they're 162 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: collecting some free agents. Um, you know in the NFL 163 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: that sometimes doesn't work. Well. They had Gronk in four 164 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: net Ronald Jones the second was there, Cameron brad was there. 165 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: O J. Howard was there. Your wide receivers were there. Yeah. 166 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: But it's a bunch of names, and like you said, 167 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: if the line isn't good, then all those names are 168 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: not going to do anything. I'm just wondering how you 169 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: keep everybody happy. And I know it's Tom Brady. See 170 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: the thing that you're gonna have with Gronk is I 171 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: don't have to have Gronk out there. Gronk can be 172 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: just a specialized position because you got tight ends who 173 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: can do they're better than Gronk right now. But if 174 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: I can have Gronk in you know, red zone situations 175 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: and he's not worried about his touches, then you just 176 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: put him out there. Whether it's a decoy or you're 177 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: able to use that big body to you know, fend 178 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: off or shield off somebody. And that's a valuable weapon. 179 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: The you know, Fournette catches the ball and Brady needs 180 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: his running backs to be able to catch the ball 181 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. I don't know how you are 182 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: at blocking, because that's going to be important as well. 183 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, if Tom is back there for longer than 184 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, three seconds, if that offensive line is not great, 185 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna have to have somebody who's able 186 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to pick up chip, chip somebody as they come off 187 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: the edge there. And Leonard Fournette. I think it's a 188 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: great pickup from the standpoint of this guy rushed for 189 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards and he had five hundred yards in receiving. 190 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: He's still on his rookie deal and he wants to 191 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: get to that next contract. I'm pretty good with that, 192 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Pretty good with that. What were some of the other 193 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: questions that we had this morning, mclovin other pole questions, Well, 194 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: we're looking at cam Newton's weapons. I mean, is it 195 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: has to be the worst wide receiving corps in the 196 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: league in New England. It's Julian Edelman's thirty four, Nikil 197 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: Harry who's completely unproven, got Hersefski who we noted, uh guy, 198 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: guys that we barely know, like Demir Berg. Who else 199 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: on here? Jacoby Myers, the law firm of Jacoby Myers. 200 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: It just doesn't seem like can't. I mean, they're gonna 201 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: have to run the ball because Cam does not have 202 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: a lot of target. They don't have a tight end 203 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: that we know. Cam overcame the Kelvin Benjamin era in Carolina. 204 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: He could overcome anything. That guy was stunk. That's when 205 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: when Kelvin Benjamin walked onto the field, I was the 206 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: biggest fan of his college. Well when I saw him 207 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: when we had the opening night in Denver, when Carolina 208 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: played Denver and Kelvin Benjamin was on the field, like 209 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: they came out, I thought a basketball team was on 210 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: the field. I went, I got like five guys who 211 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: were six six. I felt the same way when Mike 212 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: Williams came on the field at USC and I went, 213 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: good God, I can't imagine trying to stop that guy. 214 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: But then he stopped himself. Didn't they have Roy Williams, 215 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: Charles Rogers and from Michigan State the number two pick overall? 216 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: Yeah that was Matt Millen's drafts. Yeah yeah, that didn't 217 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: go well. And then now there's a new Roy Williams 218 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: out of Texas, right, yeah, yeah, now there's a new 219 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: incredibly tall Mike Williams and the Chargers who's different than 220 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: the other Mike Williams. Yeah, is he injured? Yes, Yeah, 221 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: he's a Charger. Oh that's right.

People are still just like 240 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: realizing how great Jason Tatum and I say great, and 241 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: I know we overuse that. Jason Tatum is great. He's 242 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: a matchup nightmare. He's a great defender, a good defender, 243 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: and just Tim and Jaylen Brown together, but he is, 244 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: he is really really good.

And 249 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: he strikes me as somebody who's adding to their game. 250 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: Let me see what do we have here, Terry and 251 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: New York joints us Hi Terry, what's on your mind today?

But 332 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: we're not here to tell you how to wear it. 333 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: By the way, Fritzie wearing is hardened the interruption, and 334 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: it is time filling some low levels of oxygen. Here, 335 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: what is tighter the game's last night for that shirt? 336 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: And which is the worst foul? Wow, that's not nice, 337 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: that's not nice. I don't know. Steen usually has my back. 338 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: Paul is the mean one, and I see what happens 339 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: the whole front us off. He is filling the stomach 340 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: you could be you could be I Candy. I don't know. 341 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to diminish, but of something. Yes, 342 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: somebody may look at this as I candy somebody somebody. 343 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: There's somebody for everybody. Yes, Uh. Sam A. Mc key 344 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: writes for The Athletic, the NBA senior writer. He was 345 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: in attendance for both games last night. But let me 346 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: start with the headline here. Steve Nash going to the 347 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets as a head coach. Who saw this one coming? Sam, Well, 348 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: we didn't. My friends, yeah, Dan, they kind us off guards. Um. 349 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: I love the pick. To be honest with you, we 350 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: all know the relationship between Steve and Kevin Durant from 351 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: the Warrior's days. I was around those teams a lot, 352 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 1: and I tell you, like, I look at Steve and 353 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: it's an genius move. He laid in the shadows and 354 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: learned from people after retirements, obviously, you know, with a 355 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: guy that wanted to get on the sideline at some point. 356 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: But no, we didn't see it coming. And I do 357 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: like it though, and I love the fact that Jack 358 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: Bonds still going to be there to be a major 359 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: part of what they're doing. But I give it a 360 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: big thumbs up, But explain that relationship with Steve Nash 361 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant and Golden State. So Kevin, you know, 362 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: is a guy who certainly kind of gives a tip 363 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: of the cap to the grades. He does talk to 364 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: a lot of them, and is a basketball scientist, so 365 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: to speak. And so Steve and him clicked a lot 366 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: during the Warrior's days. Forget Steve's exact title, it was 367 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: basically consultant advisor, but dear friend of Warriors coach Steve 368 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: Kers and somebody who you know, when the cameras weren't watching, 369 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: would spend time in the offseason, would spend time intermittently 370 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: during the season with Kevin and you know, and just 371 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: vibing in the kind of way that only so many 372 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: people on this planet can from a basketball perspective. And 373 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: I like it for Kevin because, honestly, I just said 374 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: this to somebody in the chat I had, you know, 375 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: most of his Warriors relationships seemingly kind of had this 376 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: sense that there was a burned bridge there from that 377 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: chapter in his career. And this is one of those 378 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: things where I think it gives him a little piece 379 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: of kind of you know what he did when he 380 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: accomplished during that time and carries it over to this 381 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: next challenge. And you know, and Steve as far as 382 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: people who I've covered, who you sit there and listen 383 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: to and go, yeah, okay, he's on a different level. 384 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Steve is on the shortlist, and so I 385 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: think he's probably going to be a very good head coach. 386 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: What about with Kyrie Irving? I don't worry about Durant. 387 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: Kyrie is always the question. Now he is? I mean, 388 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: you got the obvious, which is the point guard language 389 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: that they can speak. And you have Steve's style, which 390 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: in terms of personality, you know, if anybody was going 391 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: to be able to withstand you know, kind of highs 392 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: and lows of what come with Kyrie Irving in terms 393 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: of his makeup and his personality. I think Steve's got 394 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: that relationship Moxie. Now you know, the power stuff when 395 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: they have tough time stuff. That would be the number 396 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: one question for me when something really hard has got 397 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: to be said, How does he say it? How does 398 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: he deliver it? You know, But he's gonna be I 399 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: do think a Steve Kerr kind of coach, you know. 400 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: And so again the connection between Kevin's Warriors chapter, and 401 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: this one is fascinating. The ky everything. Kyle Reeve's got 402 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: to fix his the optics that surround him, you know 403 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: what I mean. So he's got a lot on the 404 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: table too. Here the Rockets advanced. What do you think 405 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: the Laker's reaction was to last night's result? I almost 406 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: feel like Lebron might have been disappointed because his guy 407 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: from a personal standpoint, because this guy, Chris Paul almost 408 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: shocked the world. I mean, I was watching that game, 409 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: and Dan, you know, we don't root for anybody, but 410 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: I got to admit, I'm watching this thing going a while. 411 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: Leg is Chris really gonna get his revenge on the 412 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: Rockets and and pull this thing off? I mean, you know, 413 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: he's kind of talked about this, but people got to 414 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: understand the degree to which he was upset about that trade. 415 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: So that would have been a hell of a story. 416 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: But basketball wise, you know, I honestly, if you're the Lakers, 417 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: you got to be happy you're not seeing defenders like 418 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: lukeans Dort, you know, which is something I never thought 419 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: I would say. A couple of months ago. You know, 420 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: he still barely pronounced the guy's name. And he was 421 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: incredible last night. You know, you got the rocket star power, 422 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know, they don't look great. James Harden 423 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: was terrible in Game seven offensively, and so you know, 424 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: I think if we're doing the old prediction game, I'd 425 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: probably go, you know, Lakers and six type of deal. 426 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think the other thing is, 427 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: then the Lakers have been chilling, like they've been hanging 428 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: out for three days. And I went to their practice 429 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: the other day and they were very low key and 430 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: very light, and it's the kind of mood that is 431 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: pretty tough to come by in the bubble. And I 432 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: guarantee you that's going to help them tomorrow. Finished this sentence. 433 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: If the Rockets had lost last night, well, truthfully, I 434 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: think Mike Antonio is very likely gone anyway. So you know, 435 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: there's that element. You know, there's certainly just talk around 436 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: the league about Darryl Morey and you know his future, 437 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: but he's got several years on his contract. That has 438 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: been every time I've tried to go straight to the 439 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: source on that one with the Rockets, that has been 440 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: shot down. You know pretty aggressively that he's in trouble. 441 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: But you have a wild card of Filman Fatida, who 442 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: is an extremely emotional type of owner, you know that 443 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: the Rockets owner who has been there a few years 444 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: now and who has seen a lot of ws, but 445 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: you know, seen a lot of playoff heartaches. So I 446 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: don't know what they would have done with the roster. 447 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: James Harden's not going anywhere, and I don't think Russ 448 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: is either. I think they would probably keep writing it 449 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: out and just figure out, you know what other kind 450 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: of around the edge improvements they wanted to make. We're 451 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: talking to Sam Amock. He is an NBA senior writer 452 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: for the Athletic. Who's in more trouble the mill Lucky 453 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: Bucks or the Toronto Raptors. I'm gonna say the Bucks. 454 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean they're both in big trouble. The Raptors looked 455 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: a lot better in Game two, just didn't pull it out. 456 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: The Bucks honestly look shook. To me and Yannis in particular, it's, 457 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, I'm watching him last night and it's one 458 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: of those moments in sports where it's kind of, you know, 459 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: you wish you could be a fly on the wall 460 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: inside of his own brain and just what is he thinking? 461 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: Is he doesn't look like like either he or the 462 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: group have what it's going to take intensity wise to 463 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: get this Miami team, because Jimmy Butler is a crazy 464 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: person and he's showing that right now and it is 465 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: contagious and damn out of bio who. Honestly, I don't 466 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: spend a ton of time around Miami because I'm based 467 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: on the West Coast, and I'm just really enjoying watching 468 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 1: some of their guys. I mean, Tyler, Hero is a 469 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch, Duncan Robinson. These are a 470 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: bunch of nobodies in terms of where they came from, 471 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: and that's it's in with Jimmy and meanwhile, I mean Jannis, 472 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: even though the Jannis has got his own amazing rag 473 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: to Riches story. But the Bucks are the elite squad 474 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: and they look like, you know, the heavyweight champ that 475 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: that didn't expect a fight like this at all. I 476 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: think they're in big trouble. I don't know if you 477 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: saw the quote from Richard Jefferson, the former NBA player, 478 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: who said that Jannis is Scottie Pippen. Yeah, that's a 479 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: little rough, well man for one. Good luck finding Michael Jordan, Yes, yeah, Well, 480 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: and then there's two sides to that coin. Because as 481 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: we walked out of the arena from that game last night, 482 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,159 Speaker 1: Garry Washburn and I from Boston Globe were talking and 483 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: we were saying, like the Chris Middleton question, like the 484 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: whole the age old question of who do you get 485 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: Yannis is the number two? And I'm sitting there going yo, 486 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: like he Chris has had an incredible year's fifty forty ninety. 487 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean it was this is number two stuff. It's 488 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: just not happening right now. And the other they're hard 489 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: part for them, and the hypothetical of let's say they 490 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: actually get beat here is they have created one of 491 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: the most unique and special cultures in the league where 492 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: everybody involved loves the vibe and the culture. That's great, 493 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: but when it doesn't get you to the result, if 494 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: you move to Chris Middleton, good luck trying to figure 495 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: out what that means to Jannis personally and how that 496 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: impacts the culture. There's just a lot of layers to 497 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: this thing. And I don't envy you know, GM, John 498 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: Horse and coach Mike Budenholzer at all right now, and 499 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: they downplayed it last night, and I get it, But man, 500 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: they just acted like this was nothing like Okay, it's 501 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: a game and I'm sitting there going no this. This 502 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: Heat team is not back at all, So I think 503 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: they're in trouble. Yeah, that's I viewed it the same way. 504 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: And it's one thing to be a guy who puts 505 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 1: up great numbers. There's regular season numbers and then there's 506 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 1: postseason numbers. And I need Chris Middleton to be great 507 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: in the postseason. Just like Anthony Davis, he didn't play 508 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: any meaningful games. Last meaningful game he had prior to 509 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: this year was probably at Kentucky in the NAT title game. 510 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: Now you come in, Hey, I put up all these 511 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: great numbers. Now can you do it when the spotlight 512 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: is on you, when everybody is watching everything you do 513 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: and describing every and critiquing everything you do. We see 514 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: guys who love it, grab it, cherish it, strangle it, 515 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: and then the other guys who it just consumes them. 516 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: And that's what I don't know. With the Greek freak 517 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: or Chris Middleton. We've seen the raptors step up. You know, 518 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: Fred van Vleet, he's not afraid, Kyle Lowry's not afraid. 519 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam has not stepped up, Anthony Davis has to 520 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: step up, Paul George's nonstep Kawhi loves this, so you 521 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: see playoff basketball brings out the best and sometimes the 522 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: worst in players undred percent. I agree with all that. 523 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: And to take it back to Jannisum, I feel like 524 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,479 Speaker 1: when I watched him in October and November and December, 525 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: he's notorious for being the guy who plays like it's 526 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, even if at the seeding game, even 527 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: if at the preseason game, and he's you know, his 528 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: intensity level is always very, very high. So the downside 529 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: of that is he sets the bar so high on 530 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: that front that I'm watching him last night and just 531 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: called main like where it's not there, And it's because 532 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: he's frustrated. It's because he's seeing a wall of heat defenders. 533 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: It's because he can't do what he does. You know, 534 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: Coach Budd had a line about how Yannest is he 535 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: is being honest and I'm sitting there going, no, he's not. 536 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: He's not the same guy. This guy acted like it 537 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: was men, you know, men amongst boys for most of 538 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: the year, and he's just running into a wall right now. 539 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: Before I let you go, Hoo's in better shape. The 540 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: Lakers or Clippers going into the second round, Um, both 541 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean the Lakers getting you know, I 542 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: do think they're gonna have Rondo back, and that matters. 543 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: A lot of folks like to kill Rondo and say 544 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: he's washed and say he's not, but he's part of 545 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: the solution for them. Him not being there messed up 546 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: their lineups quite a bit and left them searching in 547 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: the kinds of ways that killed their shooting. You know, 548 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 1: we don't equate Rondo with shooting, but there's you know, 549 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a low bar, but but him 550 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: being there is going to be big. So I'll pick 551 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: the Lakers. But the Clippers are in good shape, you know, 552 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: and the Kauhi factors you kind of alluded to a 553 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: second ago is big. It's pretty nice to have that 554 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: one dude that you know is not going to be 555 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: part of any of these conversations about composure or intensity. 556 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: He's just robotic about it. There's something And I brought 557 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: this up a couple of times, and I don't know 558 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: if anybody's ever equated Kawhi in the way he plays 559 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: to music, But there is a jazz feel to him. 560 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: He's never in a hurry and there's an easy flow 561 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: to him that is rare to see in this game, 562 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: certainly when it comes to the playoffs. You buy into 563 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: my Felonious Monk or Miles Davis reference. Yeah, I do 564 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: shameless plug at buddy of mine wrote a book Basketball 565 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: and Jazz, David Dorpe, a fantastic coach and long time 566 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: media personality. And Kawahi does play that way, and you know, 567 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: like a jazz song, you listen to it and you're 568 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: mellow and you're enjoying your chilling and next thing you know, 569 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: that puppy ramps up and the drums start kicking in, 570 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: and you know, and now it's a different vibe and 571 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: a different level. He's just unflappable, and maybe more so 572 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: than anybody in the league. Sam, hope you're doing well. 573 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time as always got it. Thank That's 574 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: Sam am He writes for The Athletic NBA Senior writer. 575 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if we came up with other music 576 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: for players and how they play and you can do 577 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: other sports, like if you were coming up with something 578 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, like what kind of music 579 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: would it be with him, with their style and the 580 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: way they play. If you're going to have a basketball 581 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: player and it was going to be Zion, what would 582 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: it be. I don't know, but it just it struck 583 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: me when I saw Kawai a couple of games ago, 584 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: and I just went, He's never in a hurry. There's 585 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: always he maintains the pace that he wants. You can't 586 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: speed him up or slow him down. His demeanor never changes, 587 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: and there there is this artistry to what he does 588 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: because he makes it look simple that I'm going to 589 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: get there. You know I'm going to get there, but 590 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: you can't stop me. And he loves the big moment. Yeah, McLevin, 591 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: he's Gail. You know. Have you seen this Michael Jordan 592 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: Kawuhai thing that's kind of making the rounds a lot 593 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: that he hasn't very similar moves to Jordan mid range game, 594 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: Well I see that, Yeah, I mean he does. He 595 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: takes advantage of the mid range jumper. Jordan wasn't. Well 596 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: it was just different back then. He could be a 597 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: deep shooter, but he wasn't a deep shooter. He took 598 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: the mid range jumper or he posted you on the baseline. 599 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: But Kawai Kevin Durant has made a career out of 600 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: the mid range jumper because that we were either inside 601 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: packing it in or we're on the perimeter, and then 602 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: you have all this space there. And I know it's 603 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: on glamorous, but it is productive in particular when you're 604 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: in the postseason when you need buckets, when you need 605 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: a big bucket. I don't or if it's this is 606 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: the problem I have with the rockets, there's nothing wrong 607 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: with a mid range jumper. Like they feel embarrassed I 608 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: think when they gotta take a mid range jumper. And 609 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's the damn analytics here. Yeah, I'm a club 610 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: to drive to the hole and kick it out for 611 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: three is out of control right now. Yeah, guys don't 612 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: want to get their shop block. They're terrified of it, 613 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: so they kick it out. It's it's the whole league. Though. 614 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: If you took away the three for one season, did 615 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: we bring back the true big man? Oh? I'm in 616 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: one season, like just I would be curious if something 617 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: happened where we ran out of paint and we couldn't 618 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: paint the three point line. So now there's no three 619 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: pointers and there's gonna be big men. It's like dinosaurs 620 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: coming back, Like, what's that? Is that a t rex? 621 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: Now that's a poor Zingis. Yeah. See, nobody really wants that. 622 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: They don't want to return to the big man, back 623 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: to the basket. Love it in a little quick move 624 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: to the hoop. So you'd rather watch one for nine 625 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: from three point range with James Harden those kind of 626 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: nights or missing twenty three of twenty five from three 627 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: point range rather than just feed the big man turnarounds? Yeah? Probably? Oh? Probably? 628 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: What big man do you guys? Miss? Who's like you? 629 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: We're missing James Edwards hitting an eight foot or what's 630 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: the big deal? We'll wait a minute, Chris stops porzingis. 631 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: If there's no three point line, is gonna be in 632 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: the paint? Back to his basket? Yeah? I know, but yeah, 633 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: a little drop step, that's okay. Like Carl Anthony Towns, 634 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: he's a really good three point shooter. He's shooting forty 635 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: one percent from three. He attempts eight threes a game. Yeah, 636 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: but oh gotta catch his games. Wow. No, My point 637 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: is that that he wouldn't be camping out of You're 638 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: not even watching when he's shooting threes mclovin. But I 639 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: think I think also the point is, though, is that 640 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: all right? He might be taking all these threes, but 641 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: it's just not exciting to watch him in the post 642 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: arm up, wait for the feed and then turn. That's 643 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: not exciting in the post club, I got a good 644 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: pull question. It's late, but what do you want to 645 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: come back? More? The fullback, the big man, or like 646 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: Willie McGee, the guy who gets the ball in play 647 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: in baseball, the guy who actually makes contact in base 648 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: a contact hitter, a fullback. You just started the show 649 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: with this. Oh, let's do a fourth hour. Yeah, okay, 650 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: I'll do it. We'll do it solely on peacock here 651 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: give it. Heads up to programming, cutting into the rich 652 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: eyes and show yes, run football. Well I would take that. U. Oh, 653 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: give me a good fullback. When's the last time you 654 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: watched the game? And he went, man, I really miss 655 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: a fullback? Kyle used check, Hey, use check. All right, 656 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: we'll take a break.

Josh Gordon back with the Seattle Seahawks. 665 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: I think he's played in less than half of the 666 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: games that he would have been eligible to play for 667 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: or that were that were played, but forty games out 668 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: of ninety games. Pauling, Yeah, he's since his big season 669 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. He was like seventeen hundred yards. He's 670 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: missed a couple of seasons outright, and he's played in 671 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: forty one of ninety six possible games. Although you go 672 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: back to that breakout season and he was unbelievable that year, 673 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: and you thought, boy, he ticketed for stardom. Nineteen yards 674 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 1: a catch, and we didn't realize everything that was going 675 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,800 Speaker 1: on in his life had gone on in his life 676 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: leading up to them. Steve Nash was taking over the 677 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets. Those are just some of the headlines today, 678 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: this day in sports history. PAULI will have that final 679 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: results of the poll question. McLevin. I don't think we're 680 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: going to go with the new poll question in the 681 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: final eight minutes. Here we went with who needs playoff 682 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: success the most, and it's still Clayton Kershaw number one, 683 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 1: then James Harden number two. I agree with you though 684 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: it feels yeah, Yannis has a little more pressure I'm 685 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: going to give him next year. If they bow out 686 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: in the second round, then there's even more pressure. If 687 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: he gets to a conference final, then that eases a 688 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 1: little bit of that pressure, I think. And Lamar Jackson 689 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,839 Speaker 1: has only been in the league for a couple of years. 690 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: And Mike Trout, I, I don't know, You're gonna have 691 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: a decent team around you. At least he can only 692 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: carry you so much. It's when you get in those moments, 693 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: those big moments, that's when you carry your team. That's 694 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: what we'll remember. Reggie Miller on the program tomorrow and 695 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: Michael Wilbon will stop by. Jesse and Los Angeles joins us. Now, Hey, Jess, 696 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Good morning, Good morning? 697 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 1: Happy tight shirt? Thursday? Fritzy. Is that body paint? It 698 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: is not body paint, but it might as well be. 699 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: I am having trouble breathing. It's not the xcel that 700 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: I need. Yeah, it does look like it's painted on, 701 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: but man, the guns are on display. We got the 702 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: full arsenal work in there. Pretty impressive. I appreciate that. Yeah, 703 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: it's the rest of the body that doesn't look good. 704 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: Accept curls and pizza. This is what it is, the body. 705 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 1: It sounds like a cookbook there, or a workout program. 706 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: Big arms, big waste. It's kind of a push. It's 707 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: probably actually negative. Big arm, big waste, wa st Yeah, 708 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: but I'm I've accept the fact I'm the guy that 709 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: you look at. You're like, oh, that's the guy I 710 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: probably used to work out a long time ago. It 711 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: looks like he used to work out. Just do something 712 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,479 Speaker 1: other than your arms. I've been going for a walk. 713 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't bring a lot of calories that it's not 714 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: going to exactly cover the whole body workout, but I am, 715 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, doing a couple of miles around the neighborhood. 716 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a 717 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: waste is a terrible thing to mind. Letting you know 718 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: the Thank you, Scott in Indiana, Hi Scott, what do 719 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: you have for me today? Good morning Daniel, Good morning Scott. 720 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: I wonder first, thank you guys for the last seven 721 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,959 Speaker 1: months of getting me through the darkest time of doing 722 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: a buster Douglas on cancer Now I'm cancer free. Getting 723 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: to the point with you being a guard like I was, 724 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: do you think with Nash being named head coach that 725 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: it's easier to name a point guard who ran the 726 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: floor a head coach as opposed to a Ford or 727 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: a typical center like from the eighties with Ewing or 728 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 1: even Jabbar or someone like that. Well, I think it's 729 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: a cliche. Thank you, Scott. It's weird that I think 730 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: there is hypism in the NBA when it comes to 731 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: a coach that do you want somebody who is six 732 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: ten seven feet? And I don't know if a guard 733 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: is smarter. I think it's like the catcher in baseball, 734 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: because the catcher has to see everything and catchers would 735 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: get opportunities to be managers. That we looked at the 736 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: catcher like they wore the tools of ignorance, I think 737 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: is what the catching outfit equipment was. But you're out 738 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 1: there and you're seeing the field, and then a point 739 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: guard and how he sees the floor. I think it's beneficial. 740 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: And you know, Steve Nash that ability to make that 741 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 1: translate into that team. Can they play the way he played? 742 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: Can they be unselfish? He's gonna have to get Kyrie 743 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: to be more like himself for that team, I think 744 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: to flourish. I don't think you can be selfish, and 745 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: Kyrie is at times is selfish point guard. That I 746 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: think will be a great challenge for Steve Nash. But yeah, 747 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, sure, why not have the guy who is 748 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: your leader on the floor and now he's your leader 749 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: as the head coach. This day in sports history, PAULI 750 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and one. Bud Smith of the Cardinals, I think, 751 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: became sixteenth major league rookie to throw a no hitter. 752 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: It was his eleventh career start. Eighteen ninety five, the 753 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: first professional football game was played in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Latrobe 754 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: y MCA smoked Jeanette Athletic Club twelve zero. Sports radio 755 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,439 Speaker 1: shows were crushing Jeanette the night and I had them. 756 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: I had ten, yeah, and in Jeanette I lost that one. Never. Yeah, 757 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: it was a tough loss there, Uh see, Sir Reggie 758 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 1: Miller on the program tomorrow.

Chris paul says a lot 761 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: of people doubted the Thunder and, as Paulie points out, 762 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: and rightfully so. I think they got bounced by Houston 763 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: last night in the first round of games. If you win, 764 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: you can say that a lot of people doubted other 765 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: people doubting us. Yeah, yeah, like that's us losing in 766 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: the sports Emmy's. A lot of people doubted us and 767 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: rightfully so turns out they were all right. So shout 768 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: out to them, and uh, we'd always hear, oh you 769 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: doubted us. Yeah, that's when a team advances or when 770 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 1: it is a title, not only lost. Yeah, yeah, you 771 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: doubted us, Uh yeah, and rightfully so a lot of 772 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: people didn't think we could do it and they were right. 773 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: Chris Mannox is leaving the bubble. Yeah, but I have 774 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: no idea Seaton Chris Mannix Haggard, Hey, he did look 775 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: a little rough to Paulie. Mannox is gonna lead the 776 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: bubble to go to Vermont stay in his house in 777 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: order take out for the next month, which is what 778 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,919 Speaker 1: he was probably doing in the bubble.
