10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. Ryan Hollins, my man, I

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: am psyched to be talking some hoops and be a

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: little bit of ball little football tonight as well. But man,

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: hoops discussion, goal lore. How you liking Game seven so far?

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Listen man, He's got all the field of Game seven,

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: got a flagrant end and got a gamer run so far.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: And I want those at home orror watching, these are

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: the keys. Look for pace when you get on that

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: out on the road. You want to control pace. That'll

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: be in Philadelphia's best interest. And for the Sixers, excuse

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: me for the for the Celtics, they want to get

21
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: up and down. They want to push the pace. They

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: want to speed this game up, and they want to

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: make the big fellow have to run. So those are

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: the keys, because why when you run, your home crowd

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: gets into it, things get noisy, and the game can

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: get out of hand. So the Sixers really want to

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: keep control of this basketball game.

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: How about Jason Tatum. Twenty five points in the first half,

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: and he just sprinkled in seven rebounds and four assists,

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: just like a little seasoning in the gumbo right there,

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: you know, just sprinkle lot of a few assists and rebounds.

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: But twenty five in the first half. And crazy how

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: it went down in Game six where well documented first

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: three quarters only had three points, and then with the

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Celtics season on the line, he erupts for sixteen points.

36
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: He did his Lonnie Walker the fourth impression over there,

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: right like, erupted in the fourth quarter sixteen points. Celtics

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: survive Game six. But you talk about a confidence boost,

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum looks nothing like first three quarter Game six.

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: Tatum last game, he has been crushing it so far.

41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: And I guess class half fall. If you're Philly Tatum

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: went off for twenty five, you're only down by three

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: on the road, you're right in this thing.

44
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. And here's the thing about Jayson tatam. You see

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: him attacking down hill and when he does that, he's

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: a top five Yes, I'm gonna say it again, he's

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: a top five player in the league when he attacks

48
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: downhill because you know how great he is shooting the

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: jump shot. But yeah, that's the game plan. Man. See

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: who shows up. And if you think about Jason Tatum

51
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: his rookie year, he went off against Lebron James and

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: forced at game seven, so you know that's in there.

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: But he's such a tough cover with his size and

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: ability to shoot over you. I'm intriguing to see my

55
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: keys in the second half. Okay, James Harden was facilitating,

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: but you're gonna need James Harden to score. And Joel

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: Embii does he continue to post up on the block

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: where you can double team who matches up against him?

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: And how do you get him the ball when you

60
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: need a basket? What do the Sixers go to?

61
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: I want to know what you think about this, Ryan Hollins,

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: because Embiid he struggled in the first half, scored thirteen

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: points on twelve shots. He was just inefficient. They got

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: a couple of buckets late. He was matched up on

65
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart. I know Marcus Smart is one of the

66
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: best defenders in the league. He's very versatile, but you're

67
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: putting him on Embiid like I just think a shack

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: saying barbecue chicken. When you see Marcus Smart on you

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: and you're Joel Embiid, it's time to go to work.

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what he did. I thought that was

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: not a great move by Joe Mozilla, Mozilla and the Celtics.

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Over there, Missoula, I put an eye instead of an

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: a over there. But Mozilla, you're right, like, why would

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: you put Marcus Smart th Embiid when Embiid wasn't playing

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: well up until that point. That was weird to me.

76
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: It's it's something that the Celtics had done all season long.

77
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Because what happens is Smart is good at frustrating you.

78
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: He kind of messes up your offense because I played

79
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: the center position. When you get a guard on you, you

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: feel very obligated to go out and score, and when

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: you run pick and rolls, you just switch to pick

82
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and roll. It's seamless. He actually started against us the

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: rockets and was guarding our pron Shangun and Shinhoon had

84
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: a career game the night before, so it's something the

85
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: Celtics had done. If it works, it's like a zone.

86
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: You stay with it. If it doesn't work, you get

87
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: out of it. But Joelle did the right thing. And

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: the thing that Smart does is he draws those offensive fouls.

89
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: He there's a term in college at UCLA defense is great.

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: One thing we try to do is we try to

91
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: foul without fouling. So we literally try to grab and

92
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: hold as much as we could get away with. And

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: that's something you see from Smart and as a Defensive

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, you're gonna see him doing that

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: a lot, and he gets away with a lot of

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: the grabbing and holding.

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: I love that foul without fouling. You know, like, just

98
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: don't get caught. I follow away, don't get caught. Be

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: sly about that. You see that in football all the

100
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: time with offensive holding. They say holding happens on every play,

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 2: and it's true. It's just you know, you push the line,

102
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: push the envelope to that just right on the cusp

103
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: where they don't call it. There's an art to that,

104
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: no doubt.

105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, what we would do is we would put

106
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: our hands in the air and we say, hey, rep

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: our hands are in there, We're not trying to foul.

108
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: And then you just bump a guy with your chest

109
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: or you know, that arm would get real tight through

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: your body where the referee can't see, and then you'd

111
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: ride a guy, push him out of bounds, or you know,

112
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: make a play. So when you watch smart Man, his

113
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: hands are showing high but down low. He's bumping his

114
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: knee and he's doing all that and a lot of

115
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: times be you know, the little guys get the advantage

116
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: over the big guys, and those are no calls. Those

117
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: are you. You're you're big and strong, plate through it man,

118
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: figure it out. So that is why the UH implored

119
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: strategy of smart guarding your other opposing team center, which

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: is happens to be the MVP of the league, is

121
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: something you're going to see here from Joe Missoula.

122
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: Man and Tatum just buried another three, So he's picking

123
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: up where he left off in the first half and

124
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: he's starting to feel it in the second half as well.

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: A nice little corner three over himbad Man. I'll tell

126
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: you what circling back to what you said as a center,

127
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: you must have hated when little guys they're like gnats,

128
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, and they're just smacking you around, and the

129
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: reps are like, it's not a foul, Like, yeah, it is.

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: It just doesn't look like it because I'm bigger than

131
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: the small guy. But yeah, man, welcome to the world

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: of bigs being guarded by small Sometimes those small guys

133
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: get away with a lot that they shouldn't.

134
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: They do, and it's frustrating. And if you don't have

135
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: the right footwork, or you get a little uh, you know,

136
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: over zealous, or you don't play through the contact, you

137
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: look horrible because it's you know, how can't you just

138
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: score over you know, this little guy guarding you. So

139
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: it's a it's a good strategy. That's Mizzouri. He's gonna

140
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: take a look and go to it. But like I said,

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: you can't run pick and rolls because they just switched

142
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: to pick and roll and and now you're big, simply

143
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: out of the out of the equation. So it's a

144
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: risk versus reward move. But Marcus Smart is the guy

145
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: who can do it. Then he's tough enough to turn

146
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: and you know, box you out and go get a

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: big rebound, so you know it'll be a key and

148
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: think about it, Joel Embiid. What you're also doing is

149
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: you're giving them different looks. So Horford's the primary. You

150
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: got Robert Williams, who's a great shot blocker playing off ball,

151
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: and then you just switch things up with Smart going

152
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: in there and fronting them and grabbing him and holding

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: them and you know, using his speed.

154
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: How about Kneang? Was that the guy who he grabbed

155
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown? So Jalen Brown is near the Sixers bench

156
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: and he's starting to run down to the other end

157
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: of the court and Kneeang just just grabs his leg

158
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: and they called at tech on Kniang, and then they

159
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: called Brown for a technical for tawning, which was strange

160
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: to me as well. If somebody grabs your leg while

161
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: you're trying from the bench as you're trying to run

162
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: down to the other end of the court, I think

163
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: you got to get a little bit of grace for like,

164
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: what the hell are you doing that type of reaction

165
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: right there? I thought that should have just been a

166
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: technical on Kneang.

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Well, one things that I'll say is when I'll be

168
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: calling a game and you'll see those phantom texts or

169
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: something that can tell we don't know what he said.

170
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: That's true?

171
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: What he's true?

172
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Right, that's true? Right when Draymond's throwing the ball in

173
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: his face? Like, what did Shrewder say exactly? You're right

174
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: about that.

175
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: He said something. We're not quite sure what, but he

176
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: said something that.

177
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: Would be funny if the officials quoted the guy and

178
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,239
Speaker 2: then like censored it. You know, Brown gets a technical.

179
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: He said, watch what you're effing doing or whatever. Right,

180
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 2: I would love to hear it from the official, just

181
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: sort of censoring whatever the comment was. Why didn't you

182
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: love to hear that what Shrewder said? I would love

183
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: to hear an official explain why he got teed up

184
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: and got the gate for that. You know, but we'll

185
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: never know.

186
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: It'll definitely shut some of us fans up. Oh why

187
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: did you call that? Tech? Oh? Okay, my man, I

188
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: get it. I get it. He told me that, My.

189
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 2: Know what, You're right. In my mind, I'm like, man,

190
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: he's talking about his mom on Mother's Day. Yeah, that

191
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: deserves the technical right there. It's crazy too. Brian No

192
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: and Ryan Hollins with you here on Fox Sports Radio.

193
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: That's why I love the playoffs so much, Ryan, is

194
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: how much is on the line right here? Where you

195
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: think about Game seven and if the Sixers lose, Doc

196
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 2: Rivers probably out of a job, you might see major changes.

197
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: Similar with Boston, like there's so much riding on this game.

198
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: We just saw it with Monny Williams and the Suns.

199
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: They lose Game six, they get blasted against Denver. It's

200
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: the second straight year they've gotten crushed in an elimination

201
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: game and Monny Williams out of a job. So just

202
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: how much is on the line in these games? High stakes?

203
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Man?

204
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: Huge steaks.

205
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard someone put it that this is a

206
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: winner go home type of job, and I must have

207
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: because I can understand. I really don't like it. Man,

208
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm it is tough sledding. I know it's a players league,

209
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: but you know you got the MVP of the league

210
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: and you got James Harden. Okay, well why can't you win?

211
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: You should be advancing. You're up three to one, you know,

212
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: how do you lose in consecutive games? And then from

213
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: Boston standpoint, well, this team made it to the Eastern Finals.

214
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's intact in a year older. The problem is you

215
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: show Mazula, so this is gonna be just tough. And

216
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: I do not like the way things have gone with

217
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: incredibly successful head coaches. And we don't know the things

218
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: that are going on behind the scenes, but the optics

219
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: just look bad. Manti Williams getting out of their boot. Coach Bootenholzer, Man,

220
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: these are fine coaches, and you know everybody's kind of

221
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: thrown out. They're just gonna play musical chairs with the

222
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: job pretty much, right.

223
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bud's out of a job, won a title two

224
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: years ago, and todc rivers it was kind of tongue

225
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: in cheek but kind of serious as well. His advice

226
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: for some of these coaches was don't win Coach of

227
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: the year right, like you might be out of a

228
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: job very soon after that. But three of the last

229
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: four championship winning head coaches have been fired. Where you've

230
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: got Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel with the Lakers, and like

231
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 2: you just mentioned, coach Bud Budenholzer out of a gig

232
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: as well. Three of the last four champion winning head

233
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: coaches are looking for gigs. So I mean I get it.

234
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: With Mony Williams, he's a very very well respected dude.

235
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: But when you're looking at title winning coaches getting the

236
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: gate and the Sun's got blown out back to back years,

237
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it, new ownership. I understand why

238
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: they'd go in a different direction. But man, if you're

239
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: just seeing a different game six, Like, think about that

240
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: game six goes differently. Let's say eight and plays. Let's

241
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: say CP three plays. Maybe we're talking about a game

242
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: seven over here and mony Williams still has a job.

243
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 2: It's just the swing factor is so interesting to me.

244
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: Where you could be playing onto the next round everything's great,

245
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: or hey man, we just couldn't get it going from

246
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: three and you're out of a job, Like that's crazy, man, crazy.

247
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: Well, what happens that's tough is when you have everything intact,

248
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: the coach, the players, the front office, everybody's there when

249
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: you lose and you're not supposed to lose, and this

250
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: is unfortunately part of professional sports. The notion is that

251
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: someone has to go and guess what, Yannas ain't gonna

252
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: be exiting out of Milwaukee. Okay, all right, Devin Booker

253
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be getting exited with the son. So unfortunately

254
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: there's someone that has to take a blame when the

255
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: notion is, hey, why didn't you get the job done?

256
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: I was expecting a championship. And that's why as a coach,

257
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: period on any level, you hate to have expectations. You

258
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: want to you know, you always want to overperform. But

259
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: when you're expected to win a championship and you don't,

260
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: and what' stuff? Ryan, as you know as an analyst,

261
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: we said, man, this is just wide open as can be.

262
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: We don't know who the favorite for the championship is.

263
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: And then you're you're fired for losing. And maybe it's

264
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: not just a loss, it's a fashion in which the

265
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: loss happened. But no, it professional sports. Ain't nothing fair

266
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: about it.

267
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no doubt about that. As well said, Hey,

Speaker 2: doing his thing. The rest of the seas are doing

308
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: their thing. And right now the Celtics are outscoring the

309
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: Sixers in the third quarter alone, twenty four to six.

310
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: And they showed Doc Rivers at one stage on the

311
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: sideline and he just looked like what is going on?

312
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: Right He's looked at the court like, man, this is

313
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: going south fast here.

314
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jason Tatum is hot and I knew any game

315
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: like this, and we've heard this echoed. James Harden has

316
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: to be aggressive. I thought he made the right plays.

317
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: Had a couple of nice passes, you know, playing within

318
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: the offense. But he's the guy in this game. For

319
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: the sixer to have a shot, he's got to be aggressive.

320
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: He's got to be taken over. Why because you knew

321
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum or Jaylen Brown, those guys have experience in

322
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: these moments and they were gonna go off. Those guys

323
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: when they're going the only thing you can do is

324
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: match their output. Now in a three point shooting era,

325
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: this game is far from over. I want you to

326
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: know that, stay tuned in. But James Harden is gonna

327
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: have to heat up. He's got as you know it,

328
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: forget facilitating as he's actually checking in right now. I think, Brian,

329
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: I think you're a little ahead of me. But he's

330
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to start lighting the Celtics up.

331
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, got to. It's been a crazy series for Harden

332
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: where he had those two absolute gems. In Game one

333
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: he drops forty five, hits a late three, they win

334
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: the game with no mbeid and then game four very similar,

335
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: hit a game winning three about eighteen seconds to go,

336
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: dropped forty two points and they win Game four, and

337
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: then some of the other games it has been nearly

338
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: as good for Harden those Game two, Game three where

339
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: he combined to shoot what five for twenty eight from

340
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: the field. So it's been a complete mixed bag for

341
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: Hardening this series. It's just crazy the range of excellence,

342
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: like utter excellence and then whoo baby, like the opposite

343
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: of excellence in a couple of those other games.

344
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: Well, what I see is, you know, James and Joelle

345
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: have to find a way to mix together. They got

346
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: to find a way to work together. And I think

347
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: that you gotta understand this is a different Chason Tatum

348
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: than you've seen. He went off in the fourth quarter

349
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 1: the other night, and he just came out in this

350
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: Game seven like he's been holding it back, like you

351
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: know what, enough is enough, get me the ball and

352
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: get out the way. But in moments he almost seems absolutely,

353
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, uninterested in the ball game. But we're seeing

354
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: why this guy's box office. And I'll say it again, Brian,

355
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: argue with me, if you like he plays like this,

356
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: he's a top five player in the league. Okay, he's

357
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: one of the best in the world. And we might argue, hey,

358
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: top three, Hey Yannis Tatum, and where we going, Luca.

359
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta get Joker in there for sure.

360
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: Joker in the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, I gotta get Joker

361
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 2: in there. Look, man, when Steph was gone dropping fifty

362
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: game seven. Yeah, but he's up. I hear you, like

363
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: you get no argument from me. Peak Tatum is absolutely

364
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: one of the top players in the game. It's just

365
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: you gotta see the consistency a little bit more and

366
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: then he can truly be in the top five. That's

367
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: the only thing I think that's keeping him out is

368
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: when you don't get peak Tatum, there's a bit of

369
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: a drop off. But yeah, in terms of him playing

370
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 2: at his peak, at his full capabilities, yeah, he's tremendous.

371
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: Well here, I wonder if this is a plan that, hey,

372
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: if we just give the ball to Jason, team can

373
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: load up on him, they can take him away. So

374
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, we want to come out and we want

375
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: to play the team game, and then when it's time

376
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: to go on on one. We got two of the

377
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: best shot creators in the league as a tandem. Yet

378
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: maybe you can say Curry's better or Duran's, but as

379
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: a tandem you can argue those two Tatum and Brown

380
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: could be the best in the league respectively. So to

381
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: the Suns and to the Golden State Warriors when Klay

382
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Thompson decides to be Klay Thompson. So it was just

383
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: a plan from Joe Milzula saying, I'm gonna let the

384
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: dogs out. I'm gonna hit the hit the gold button

385
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: for this game. Go be aggressive. Forget trying to play

386
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: the you know, forget trying to find the good shot.

387
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: You know what, You go take this game over? Is

388
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: that something that Missoula had been kind of planning out.

389
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: And keep in mind the Celtics in this playoffs season.

390
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: Though they're here and got a chance to advance and

391
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: they looks like they likely are, they have not executed

392
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: well in tight games. And is a part of it

393
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: is that Jason Tatum not stepping forward and saying I'm

394
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy? Or is it Mozilla, you know,

395
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: having too equal opportunity of a offense? Is there such things?

396
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: You know?

397
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think I think a lot of times the

398
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: quality of your supporting cast can hide some of your

399
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: warts as a superstar, you know what I mean? Where

400
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 2: let's just look at the playoffs as a whole. The

401
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: Suns would be a good example, you know. Devin Booker

402
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: didn't have it working. In Game six, Kevin Durant was inefficient,

403
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: and it's one of those games where, man, you really

404
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: need eight and out there, you really need Chris Paul

405
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: out there. You need more around you at times. And look,

406
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: we've seen it. We haven't seen superstars be truly special

407
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: in every single game. I think Jokicic has come the closest.

408
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler has been spectacular in these playoffs, but a

409
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: lot of times it's Jason Tatum. Jason Tatum might have

410
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: a stinker, but the rest of the team played well.

411
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: They won a game where he scored seven points, you

412
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, he scored seven points and

413
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: they still won the game. So you're not gonna get

414
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: called out for that. And so I think sometimes they're

415
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: gonna be a few blemishes. You might not have a

416
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: great game, but depending on the quality of your supporting cast,

417
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 2: if they're still able to do enough and you still win,

418
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean, that helps hide your flaws and boost your

419
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: individual stock as well. I think sometimes it does work

420
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: out like that.

421
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: And Boston easily that's the deepest basketball team in the league.

422
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: They are deep top to bottom. Man, they're stacked. You

423
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: got brogged in you know a lot of times who

424
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: comes off the bench, and you know, you got Williams,

425
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: who's a bona fide shot blocker in the league. You

426
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: got a number of guys who can easily slide in.

427
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: Derek White also that can slide in his starters that

428
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: don't you know, always necessarily start.

429
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, yeah, absolutely, They're a deep team, you know,

430
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: you know, crazily one of the deepest teams in the

431
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: league is the Clippers. But they just didn't have their

432
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: stars healthy. You know, if you have and I hate

433
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: to even say this before our girl Manzy chimes in,

434
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: she's a die hard Clippers fan. I picture her just,

435
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: you know, almost throwing up in her mouth before you know,

436
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: But it's true. It's like if you have Kawhi and

437
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: Paul George healthy, if you actually have that, and how

438
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 2: deep that roster is, the Clippers were very capable of

439
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: going on a run, especially as crazy as this postseason

440
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 2: has been. But we'll never know the answer to that

441
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: question now.

442
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Oh Mazi is gonna listen. I'm already in deep

443
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: water with Mazi. Okay, I'm gonna let you have that one.

444
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: You get there's not even gonna be an update. It's

445
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna be just some some some Clippers venting going on.

446
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: There's gonna be some sighing. Let's hear from our girl,

447
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: Manzi Bolognos with us today. How's everything going on?

448
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 5: You know, everything was going dandy, Bryant until you decided.

449
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 6: To bring up the Clippers and.

450
00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 5: How we just could not get past again anything even Oh,

451
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: I just can't.

452
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: I don't even to talk about it. It's just so frustrating.

453
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 6: I don't even talk about it. Yeah, I don't know

454
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 6: what would have happened.

455
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 5: You're right, Brian, we have no idea since both of

456
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 5: our stars were injured, even though the Clippers put up

457
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 5: a fight till the very end.

458
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 6: I mean, no, I was fine. I don't even know

459
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 6: what am I doing well.

460
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 7: By the way, by the way, by Chao, I know,

461
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 7: I'm sorry but ruining your day over here, but I

462
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 7: think it makes it even worse if you can't get

463
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 7: past yourself.

464
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: I know, no an opponent, you know what I mean,

465
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: Like they hadn't. They couldn't get past health.

466
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 5: That's what in right, And then we took the season

467
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 5: real easy so that we would be healthy, which makes

468
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 5: it even more frustrating.

469
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: Yep.

470
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 6: That's what makes honestly like thinking.

471
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 5: About it, it's like, oh, we were expecting Kawhy to

472
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: play sixteen games in a row.

473
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 6: When did he play sixteen games in a row? And

474
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 6: the last three years? I can't, I can't, Guys, why

475
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: did you do this to me?

476
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Brian?

477
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 6: Why we should.

478
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 5: Be talking about this game seven even though you know

479
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 5: it's kind of over because Jasonto is on fire fire

480
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 5: forty two points, Jackie Robinson's number. He's made five of

481
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 5: eight three pointers, fourteen of twenty three from the field.

482
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 6: He already has ten rebounds to forressists.

483
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 5: And it's Boston who is beating Philly after three quarters

484
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: eighty eight to sixty two. The seventy six ers just

485
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: scored ten points in the third quarter. That is a no, boy,

486
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 5: do they know this is a game seven?

487
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: Man?

488
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 6: You think they.

489
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: Forgot ten and a quarter? Not where you're looking at.

490
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 6: No, not at all. Maybe they think there's a game

491
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 6: eight or something.

492
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't.

493
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 6: I was not expecting this performance, to be honest.

494
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: With you, somebody's fired up a little.

495
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 6: Bryan's fall you towo Ryan, No, no, no, no, no,

496
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 6: It's about.

497
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: If you wanted to stop. Let's let's have said, I said,

498
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: Brian no john A right.

499
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're right, you try to stop him. You're right,

500
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 6: You're right, So that that's happening. Guys, yep, Jason Tatum,

501
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 6: Clippers are annoying. Let's talk about baseball.

502
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 5: The Dodgers are beating the Padres to zero. They're about

503
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: to start at the bottom of the sixth inning. Giants

504
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: have scored first against the Diamondbacks one zero, bottom of

505
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 5: the fifth Nationals and the Mets are playing technically the

506
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 5: second game of the day because yesterday there was like

507
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 5: a four hour rain delay, so this is technically their

508
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 5: second game of the day. Nationals are up against the

509
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 5: Mets one zero, bottom of the fourth inning. Rockies are

510
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: shutting out the Phillies four zero. They're about to start

511
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 5: the ninth inning. They are playing in Colorado. Rangers beating

512
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 5: the Ace three to zero. Top of the sixth inning,

513
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 5: and it was the Twins. Guys beat the Cubs sixteen

514
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 5: to three was the final score. They scored seven runs

515
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: in the third inning, and then they scored another seven

516
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: runs in the eighth inning and it.

517
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 6: Was all Twins sixteen to three.

518
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 5: That's pretty embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as the Clippers,

519
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 5: and then it was the Race who held on to

520
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: beat the Yankees eight to seven. Earlier today, we do

521
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 5: have some golf going on. Earlier today there was like

522
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 5: a five way tie.

523
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 6: Not anymore.

524
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 5: It is the Byron Nelson its final day, Round four.

525
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 5: Jason Day is at the top of the leader board

526
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 5: at twenty three under Park.

527
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 6: Back to you guys, Lord twenty three undrepary. Yeah, yeah,

528
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 6: I know.

529
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: Brian though, and Ryan Hollins, what you hear on Fox

530
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. We're coming to you live from the tairaq

531
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 2: dot com studios. Man, Ryan, I hate to even bring

532
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: this story up, but we got news with John Morant

533
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: over here. The superstar some would argue, not a superstar

534
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: but whatever. I would say, superstar, but not superstar decisions.

535
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: Apparently he's been suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies from all

536
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: team activities. There was another video that was circulating social

537
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: media that showed him holding a gun. This is just

538
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 2: two months after he was suspended for basically the same thing,

539
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 2: and it's one of these deals where I just it was.

540
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 2: It seemed like yesterday he was doing a sit down

541
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 2: interview with Jalen Rose and saying all the right things

542
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: of Hey, I got to be more mature, I got

543
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: to be a leader, I got to make better decisions,

544
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. And then we get another

545
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: video and this was on his friend, this was on

546
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: DeVante Pak's ig live. We get another Instagram live video

547
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: of him. What looks like he's holding another gun again,

548
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: what's going on with this? You got you can't just

549
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 2: say the right thing. You gotta do the right thing,

550
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: and you can't do the wrong thing two months removed

551
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: from making the same mistake. I mean, that's just it's

552
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 2: more than obvious as far as that goes.

553
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this situation just got me. Yeah, extremely sad. You

554
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: want the best for Joe. He's box office, it's so

555
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: futures ahead of them, and uh, a second time in

556
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: a row to do this. It it's just it's just

557
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: it's disheartening and you'd hate for his career to be impacted,

558
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: and it is. I don't know to what degree. Uh,

559
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: we'd all kind of hoped and prayed that this was

560
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: beyond beyond him. I don't think it says, I don't

561
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: think there's any excuse, but it's it's I know, from

562
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: a youthful mind. It may be that this is not

563
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: as egregious as the other video was. This was not

564
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: the just in your face. This was more of a

565
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: accidental slip up. It wasn't supposed to be on, but

566
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: nonetheless it was. And uh, it's just bad timing. And

567
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: again I'll echo the sentiments that have been said, is

568
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: that you know, for me, I played the game. Look, man,

569
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: I got homeboys and friends who who may have not

570
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: put me in the best situation, and I love them

571
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: to death, but I know the rooms or places where

572
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: I can and cannot take them. It doesn't mean that

573
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: I have any less love for them. And I just

574
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: hope that he can, you know, differentiate for himself what's appropriate,

575
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: what's not, and who he can and cannot be around.

576
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: And sometimes, you know, I was always taught this a

577
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: wise man what he doesn't know, you know your weaknesses.

578
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: Wise man knows his weaknesses. So hopefully a joh can

579
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: figure out what his weaknesses are, know that he needs

580
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: help and to just say, you know what, I'm not

581
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: responsible to be around in these situations. And you know,

582
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: you might just need a you know how they say, yes, man,

583
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: you might need some no men around you to say

584
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: no job. That's not a good idea. No job, don't

585
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: do that. No job. We're going home. Get some no

586
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: men around him.

587
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: Man, You know, it reminds me of it just popped

588
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 2: into my head. Richard Sherman, who was born in Compton,

589
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: and he's said before that there were a lot of

590
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: his friends that wouldn't allow him to go into the

591
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: wrong spots and make the wrong decisions. And they were like, hey, man,

592
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: get up out of here. You don't belong here right now.

593
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: And they were looking out for him. And that's what

594
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: I hope Jo's friends can do for him. And if

595
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: they can't, then Joe's gonna have to make some tough decisions.

596
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to, is you gotta make

597
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: some changes in your life because he's gonna derail his

598
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: career if he doesn't. He's facing a long suspension to

599
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: begin the season. He got off light. It was only

600
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: an eight game suspension for the previous IG Live video

601
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: where he had a gun, and now he's facing his

602
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: suspension that's much much longer. And if you make the

603
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: same mistake two months removed, that tells me you didn't

604
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: learn anything. And this is the thing, Ryan, I watched

605
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: the movie Air Again last night, which is just tremendous.

606
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 2: The movie where they're trying to sign Michael Jordan as

607
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: a rookie to a shoe deal, and there's one part

608
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: in the movie where Matt Damon is talking about how

609
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: we build athletes up and then we tear them down.

610
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: And I started thinking about that as it relates to

611
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: John Morant, and that's not what this is. We didn't

612
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: build John Morant up to be this mythical figure. We're

613
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: not saying he's gonna win eight championships and he's going

614
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: to win the next nine MVPs. We didn't build him

615
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: up into something he's not. And I can't speak for everybody,

616
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 2: but certainly I'm not relishing that he's in trouble again,

617
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: like you know, doing a Tiger Woods fist pump, like

618
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: all right, Like we're not tearing him down. We're just

619
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: calling it like it is, where you can't wreck your

620
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: career for something stupid like this. He's got to be

621
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: a leader and he's got to make better decisions where

622
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: for the second straight season he's not missing a chunk

623
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: of games because he made a decision that you should

624
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: know much better than to falter like that. I mean,

625
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: that's just the reality of where we are right now.

626
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: No, I agree, joh is universally loved. There's a lot

627
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: of people that are that are pulling for him. And

628
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: it look man like for me, I made money that

629
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: my parents never saw. I got a chance to have

630
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: experiences that my father only dreamed that I'd have, and

631
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: to be able to pay him back for the things

632
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: that he did for me growing up. John has a

633
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: chance to change, not just to be rich, but he's

634
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: like wealthy, like generational wealth. He has a chance to

635
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: bring to his family with what he can do on

636
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: the basketball court. And I hope that's not over with

637
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: it not done. You know, obviously we've all been young,

638
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: but you just hate to see that be made. So

639
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: hopefully the best can happen. I know, the NBA is

640
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: the best league on the planet man, as far as

641
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: sticking with our young guys, working with them, and you know,

642
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: hopefully devising a plan to get him the proper help

643
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: and for the NBA moving forward. Brian, let me know

644
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: if you agree or disagree. I think the league is

645
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: in a place where it's like like like, come on,

646
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: where's that next Lebron where's that next curry? Like, who's next?

647
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: You look around, the arkyries are a little older. Our

648
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: Arkad's are a little older. Our steps are a little older.

649
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: Like Lebron is I mean, Lebron is just spoiling that's

650
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: at this point to watch him play at a high level.

651
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: And that next group, it's kind of it's like, Jah,

652
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: it's Luca. Yeah, darn Fox is in the mix, even

653
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: though he might be a little older, but it's it's

654
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: come on, John, this is your your trey young this

655
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: is your moment where we're kind of trying to put

656
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: you in that seat. Man.

657
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I hear you on that. And it's when

658
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: you start thinking about the stars, especially the young stars.

659
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: For the most part, they got their head screwed on straight.

660
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: You know, they're not making wild decisions. Yiannis has been

661
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: tremendous in terms of not just on the court, but

662
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: off the court, right Like Luca hasn't made any big booboos.

663
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: Daron Fox has been all class on and off. It's

664
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: just Jos's gotta you gotta grow up fast, man. That

665
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: was the one thing I didn't like about the previous

666
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: incident was he said I gotta find better ways of

667
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: dealing with stress. That to me was just not owning it,

668
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: you know it, Just own it. Say I screwed up,

669
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: that was stupid. I'm not gonna do it again, that

670
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 2: type of thing. But it's like, I gotta find better

671
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: ways of dealing with stress. Who deals with stress by

672
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: like showing guns like that? That doesn't make any sense

673
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: to me. That was a lack of owning it, I thought.

674
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 2: But it really comes down to this, Ryan is Well.

675
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: I had a radio partner a long time ago named

676
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 2: Chris Daniel, and he said something, when you know someone

677
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: would get in trouble, he would talk about an athlete

678
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: like John, say you won the game of life. And

679
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: that's how I feel with John, Like he has this

680
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: talent and he's on center stage and it's great for

681
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: him that he's been blessed like that. He can't screw

682
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: that up. He's supposed to be the face of the franchise,

683
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 2: not the guy who's getting in his own way the most.

684
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 2: And that's where it is right now.

685
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got to be much better man. And it

686
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: prayers up for Joe hopefully he can get the help,

687
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: the help that he needs.

688
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no doubt all right coming up next. According

689
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 2: to Monsey, I don't know if it's gonna be Clipper

690
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 2: related or not. Gosh, what strong stances Moncey has today.

691
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 2: That's on the way. I'm Brian, No, he's Ryan Hollins.

692
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here on Fox Sports Radio. Yeah,

693
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: I'm Brian know, he's Ryan Hollins here on Fox Sports Radio.

694
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: Coming to you live from the Tireraq dot Com studios.

695
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: As the Celtics are pouring it on up by twenty

696
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 2: five points. Looks like their cruise into a game seven win.

697
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: You know what, We're turning the page and turning our

698
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: attention to one Moncey Belanos. Let's dive into this corn.

699
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 3: And now it's.

700
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 6: Time for absolutely that's it's like to be pretty.

701
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: According to Moncy, I love it.

702
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: Yes. According to Moncey, the Warriors dynasty consists of just

703
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: one superstar.

704
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 5: Yes, And actually Ryan I said this to you, I

705
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 5: think the last time we were working together. Klay Thompson

706
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 5: is not a superstar. Draymond Green is not a superstar.

707
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,479
Speaker 5: Steph Curry is the only superstar that the Warriors have had,

708
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: and he's not done.

709
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 6: He still has it in him.

710
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 5: But the Warriors have a lot of important decisions to

711
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,959
Speaker 5: make in this off season. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green

712
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 5: have both said that they want to be Warriors forever.

713
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 6: Blah blah blah blah.

714
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: Listen, if you want to be a Warrior forever, you're

715
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 5: gonna have to take a lot less money than what

716
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 5: you're supposed to be making. Because, no, Clay, you can't

717
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 5: make forty.

718
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 6: Million next year.

719
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: You just can't.

720
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 5: No, no, no, Draymond, I think is supposed to make

721
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 5: maybe twenty four millions.

722
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 6: We have, no guys, you have to take a pay

723
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 6: cut if you want to stay with the Warriors. And

724
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 6: I feel like this is not very common in the

725
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 6: NBA the NFL.

726
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 5: A lot of players take you know, less money so

727
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 5: that they can make a better team around them. The NBA,

728
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 5: the Warriors need to do this. The Warriors shot themselves

729
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 5: in the foot with Jordan Poole. Jordan Pool, where was.

730
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 6: He during the playoffs?

731
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 5: He was missing, He was on a milk carton one

732
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 5: hundred percent, and they shot themselves in the foot.

733
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 6: They gotta do something.

734
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 5: If they can find a way to get rid of

735
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 5: Jordan Poole, trade him, get some assets, do something, because

736
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 5: right now the warriors. You have Steph Curry, that is

737
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: what you have. You have an Andrew Wiggins that can

738
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 5: help you your dynasty, the big three that you wanted

739
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 5: to call the Splash Brothers, that is not a thing anymore.

740
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 5: It was evident that Curry is the only one that

741
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 5: still has in him with this dynasty. At one point

742
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 5: was we gotta do something worse.

743
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 6: You gotta do something.

744
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: Get rid of Jordan Poole, Do something about Draymond.

745
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 6: And Clay's contract.

746
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 5: They can't make the money that they think they're gonna

747
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 5: make if they want to be Warriors.

748
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 6: Get rid of them.

749
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a rough look, man.

750
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 6: It was back and I like Clay. I like him.

751
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 5: I know he had two major injuries, but he just

752
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 5: unfortunately never went back to the splash brother that we

753
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: once saw.

754
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: You know.

755
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 5: So it's like, you got to make smart choices your warriors.

756
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 6: Steph is your.

757
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 8: Guy, according to Monsey, all right, according to Manci, John

758
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 8: Morant needs smarter friends.

759
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 6: You guys were talking about this.

760
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 5: I don't get what Jahn Morant's friends were thinking.

761
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 6: Here's the thing, Joe, if you're.

762
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 5: Listening, none of us are surprised that you still have

763
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 5: a gun in your hand. None of us are surprised

764
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 5: that you're still partying. None of us are surprised. I'm

765
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 5: surprised that you have such dumb friends around you. Why

766
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 5: would your friends record you doing anything anything at all.

767
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 6: Even if there was just your friend recording a video

768
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 6: of you for his pleasure to have on his phone.

769
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 6: Your friends need to be smarter.

770
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 5: You need to surround yourself with smarter people that aren't

771
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 5: just gonna record you in situations that can eventually make

772
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 5: it to social media.

773
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 6: This doesn't seem like a very difficult thing to do.

774
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 5: My friends are not allowed to post a picture or

775
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 5: a video of me unless I've approved it, and I'm nobody.

776
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 5: Joan Morant, you are a huge somebody. Your friends need

777
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 5: to be smarter. You need to be smarter of who's

778
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: around you. Come on, man, this isn't that difficult.

779
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 8: Come on, Yeah, the Grizzlies should totally pay somebody like

780
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 8: one hundred k a year yep to just snatch phones

781
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 8: out of people's hands near rounds.

782
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 2: From the need to kenby.

783
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 5: One hundred bo You make an excellent point, Grizzlies. Yes,

784
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 5: he's somebody that's constantly around John Moran and his friends

785
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 5: to stop them from doing stupid things. I just don't

786
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 5: get Ja Morant's friends mentality here, because again, I'm not

787
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 5: surprised he had a gun. I'm not surprised you're party.

788
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 5: That's not what I'm surprised about. I'm surprised that your

789
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 5: friends are so stupid.

790
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 8: He needs a no man. According to Monsey, all right,

791
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 8: last one here. According to Mansy, Mark Jackson called us

792
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 8: all stupid.

793
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 5: He one hundred percent called every single one of us stupid.

794
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 5: With his explanation as to why he did not vote

795
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 5: for Nicola Jokic as an MVP, he said he was

796
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 5: voting for all NBA team and that he would have

797
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 5: put him third, behind Yannis and behind who else embiid.

798
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 6: Oh, come on, Mark Jackson, you seriously think we're that stupid.

799
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 6: You ain't gotta lie to kick it. We all have.

800
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 5: Heard stories about the type of person that Mark Jackson is,

801
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 5: so clearly he doesn't like Nicola Jokish for whatever reason,

802
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 5: but he's straight up called.

803
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 6: Us all stupid.

804
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 5: You guys to our with his explanation that he didn't

805
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 5: know that he was voting for the MVP.

806
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 6: Was this his first time voting for an MVP?

807
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 5: If it was you should you're never gonna vote again,

808
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 5: you should never be allowed to vote again.

809
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 6: But he's straight up said, we're all dumb guys, one

810
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 6: of us.

811
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a pretty bad explanation, right, at least

812
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: it wasn't something dumb about the Clippers though. Then you

813
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 2: really want no no, only you do that exactly, all right?

814
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: Coming up next, reputation versus reality. Oh, what's going on everybody?

815
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: Hope you're enjoying your Sunday. Happy Mother's Day to all

823
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 2: Ryan Hollins, I think there's a false advertising going on

824
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 2: here because Game seven. You hear this quite a bit.

825
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: The greatest two words in sports. You know what the

826
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: greatest two words in sports are, Ryan.

827
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: What are they?

828
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowl?

829
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: No?

830
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: Yes, those are the two greatest words.

831
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: There's only one.

832
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 7: There's only one of those ultiple Game seven the best

833
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 7: game we got.

834
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 2: Game seven high on the list, don't get me wrong.

835
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: Not small potatoes, but secondary. So what I hear all

836
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: this false advertising and whatever, Game seven rolls around two

837
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: greatest words in sports. I'm like, really, super Bowl, those

838
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: are the best two.

839
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: Words, right, And you've fallen asleep by the time halftime

840
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: hits man, You're you're full of not chosen.

841
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I've had Game sevens are great. This

842
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: one turned out to be a complete beat down. As

843
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: the Celtics are up by twenty eight with a minute

844
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: to go, Ryan Hollins, and you've got Jason Tatum. He

845
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: drops fifty one points and just like Monzie Bolanos told

846
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: her told us in her top of the hour update,

847
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: that's the most points in any Game seven in NBA history.

848
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: So shout out to him. He think about that, Ryan.

849
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: He kicked it into gear in the fourth quarter of

850
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: Game six, and that saved their season. Jason Tatum outscored

851
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 2: Philly sixteen to thirteen. He outscored Philly by himself in

852
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of last game. And now he just

853
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: continues that and it was a barrage fifty one in

854
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: a do or die Game seven. What a performance.

855
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: Well, one thing it lets you know is that this

856
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: team shouldn't have been in a game seven. Essentially with Philadelphia,

857
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: with all due respect and for Jason Tatum, if they're

858
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna win an NBA championship, he can't wait to go

859
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: ahead and beat Jason Tatum. He's gonna have to show

860
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: up and be ready to play much much sooner if

861
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna have the type of success that they want

862
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: to have. Because if you're playing against a you know

863
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: you're in the NBA Championship, you just don't have the

864
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: time to wait. You don't have the time to kind

865
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: of work your way into a series. And then one

866
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: thing you definitely can't do is lose a game at home.

867
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: And they lost that first game at home without Joel

868
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: Embiid in the lineup, And for Philadelphia, it's just almost

869
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: it's we see that there's no questioning James Harden is certified,

870
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: but James Harden and Joel never seem to click. They

871
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: did not look the same on the floor together, and

872
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: to me, that was the big problem with Philadelphia. So

873
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: hopefully we can get rid of the notion that you

874
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: know it's James Harden. Does he still have it or not? Yeah,

875
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: he's got it, but somehow he and Joel just didn't click.

876
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest question that phil These

877
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: are good questions I have, trust me, that's the big

878
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: question to have for Philadelphia. You know.

879
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting though, to Ryan is you think about

880
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 2: how close teams are and yet how far away they

881
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: are at the same time. Because think of Philly. Philly

882
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: has Game six at home, They've got a lead in

883
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. It is right there for them, and

884
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: they couldn't close the deal. Jason Tatum was special down

885
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 2: the stretch, and then we fast forward to today Game

886
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 2: seven and they get freaking clobbered, you know what I mean.

887
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: It reminds me of the Warriors Kings series, where think

888
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,879
Speaker 2: about Game four on the road for the Kings. You've

889
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 2: got an open shot for Harrison Barnes. He makes that shot,

890
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: they probably go on to win that series. They go

891
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 2: up three to one. Instead, he misses, the series is

892
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: tied to two. You fast forward to Game seven and

893
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 2: the Kings lose by twenty So think about that, how

894
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: close they were. Harrison Barnes just has to hit a

895
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 2: shot and they're probably gonna win the series. He doesn't

896
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: hit it, and in Game seven they get the doors

897
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 2: blown off of them. So very similar to what just

898
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 2: happened to the seventy six ers.

899
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: Well, that's also why if you're the Sixers, you had

900
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: home court advantage and you didn't take care of business

901
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: at home, and you've got yourself to blame for that,

902
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: because if you took care of business, you wouldn't be

903
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: in this situation where I am sorry. It would have

904
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: been a tall, tall task and Philly did they have

905
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: enough manpower to do it, yes, but when you're going

906
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: all on the road in a game seven, win or

907
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: go home situation, man, it is almost impossible to upset

908
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: these home teams. Man, you gotta be a road warrior.

909
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: And unfortunately it was just too tall of an ask.

910
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, think about that. How far away the Kings

911
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: are when they lost by twenty at home, right, Like,

912
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: I agree with what you just said right there, but

913
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: it just shows you how much work they have to

914
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 2: do and a little bit disheartening the team that put

915
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 2: you out they lose the next round to the Lakers.

916
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 2: So but in any event, if you look at the Sixers,

917
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna see major changes. Ryan, You're probably gonna see

918
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers out of a gig. Whether people agree or

919
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: disagree with that, it's gonna be the outcome. And they're

920
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: going to try to shift as much as they can

921
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: as far as the coaching staff, as far as the

922
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: roster goes, because you can't lose by twenty four in

923
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 2: a game seven and not make major changes. You know,

924
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: and Beid's going to be back, But short of that,

925
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna be doing some things to mix it up

926
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 2: as much as they can.

927
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:35,280
Speaker 1: I beg to differ. Yeah, I don't think this should

928
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: mean that Doc is out of there. I mean, you

929
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: just didn't take care of business at home, and if

930
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: you took care of business, you wouldn't you wouldn't be

931
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: in this situation. I'm just always a firm believer in

932
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: the fact that players play the game. So you put

933
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: yourself in a situation you couldn't get it done, and

934
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: you lost to a team that was projected essentially went

935
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: to the finals last year. So I hate that there's

936
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: blame given instead of praise for Jason Tatum stepping up

937
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: and having an amazing night. I think you gotta give

938
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: respect to what Tatum did. I think in terms of

939
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: even like Milwaukee, like Jimmy Butler went wild, Like Jimmy

940
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: Butler was he was, he was absolutely amazing. And it's

941
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: almost to me disrespectful to Jimmy Butler when you fire Budenholzer.

942
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: Maybe there's other things behind the scenes that I don't

943
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: know that's far beyond my pay grade. But I hate

944
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 1: when the notion is that, yeah, yeah, you should, you should.

945
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: It's Jimmy Butler, you know, we should have beat them,

946
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, he went off. That's why he's

947
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: one of the league's best players. Hey man, you found

948
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: out why Jason Tatum is the guy that we've been

949
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: talking about all season long.

950
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: Hey, I hear you. Listen. I think there is in

951
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 2: certain situation there's something to be said for let's just

952
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: run it back. We came up short, but we don't

953
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 2: have to fire everybody but our superstar, right, Like, but

954
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:02,959
Speaker 2: not everything is equal. And if you see budenholes Er, Budenholzer,

955
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 2: who want a title, like two years removed from winning

956
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 2: at all, he gets fired. I didn't agree with that,

957
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 2: but that dude want to ring like Doc hasn't even

958
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 2: gotten to an NBA Finals in three years with the Sixers.

959
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 2: So you said it earlier where it's not just win

960
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 2: and go home, or win or go home the tnt slogan,

961
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: it might be win or lose your job, and a

962
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: lot of instances that's the case. And I would just

963
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: be very surprised if they brought Doc back. I think

964
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 2: you can make an argument that they should. That's fine,

965
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 2: I'll listen to that, but that's not the argument I

966
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: would make. And if you're betting, like if there are

967
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 2: odds posted, Doc returns, yes, Doc returns no, with which

968
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: one are you betting on? When Bush comes to shove.

969
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna plead the fifth on. I ain't in a

970
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: position to be hiring and firing, and I ain't speaking

971
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: on that album. I'm sorry, and and I'll just give

972
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,839
Speaker 1: you this. I don't know what a good and bad

973
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: job in the NBA head coach is, okay, And like

974
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: I said, we don't know the things that are been

975
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: said or been done behind the scenes. And sometimes these

976
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: decisions have nothing to do with basketball. So we're like

977
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: me and you were like, man, they gave up that lead,

978
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: there and this and that, and it had it had

979
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that, you know, So we don't

980
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: know ultimately unless it's it's actually stated by an organization,

981
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: what is happening in some of these spots.

982
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, and that's where it can be dangerous.

983
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: We're we're looking at what we see, you know what

984
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: I mean. We're watching these games and we're seeing how

985
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: the team plays and what they're missing, what they have,

986
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 2: all that type of stuff. But you're right, all the

987
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: stuff that we don't know about, Like I think it

988
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 2: was wrong for the Bucks to fire Budenholzer, but like

989
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: I don't know some things that I might need to know,

990
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 2: or I would look at it differently, you know what

991
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: I mean. Where we know he's slow to adjust, and

992
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: we know Yannis essentially said that after they lost in

993
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 2: five to Miami. So if there's any type of friction

994
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 2: or Giannis is like, man, this guy like if Yiannis

995
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: isn't in the corner of bud Well, then that changes

996
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: a lot right there. But we're looking at this based

997
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 2: on the surface, right, And on the surface, I just

998
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if Doc is back. I mean, look

999
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: at around the league. You've got championship winning coaches losing

1000
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 2: their gigs and Nick Nurse, Budenholzer. You just had Moni Williams.

1001
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 2: Many Williams was comparable to Doc. He's like a souped

1002
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 2: up Doc, you know what I mean. And what he

1003
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: did with the Suns. He's won the most games the

1004
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 2: last couple of years if anybody in the league, and

1005
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 2: he's out of a gig. So that's the way it goes. Man,

1006
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: When you are knocking on the door of a championship

1007
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 2: and you don't get there, you see a lot of changes.

1008
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 2: The thing that is different though, if you think about this, Ryan,

1009
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 2: it does differ in the NFL compared to the NBA

1010
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 2: because you typically wouldn't see a Super Bowl winning head

1011
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 2: coach loses job two years later, you know what I mean,

1012
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 2: Like you normally wouldn't see that, But you see changes

1013
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 2: happen a lot quicker in the NBA.

1014
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: Well, the NBA, it's a it's a players league. Because

1015
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: I know one thing that you're not gonna do is

1016
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: have Milwaukee lose in the first round and go, yeah, man,

1017
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: that Janna Sondekoupo. He got to go man, right, it's

1018
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: gonna be somebody else's ball, Yeah right, No, that that's

1019
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: clearly not gonna happen.

1020
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: But I'd have to go back and look like, how

1021
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 2: many Super Bowl winning head coaches have gotten the acts.

1022
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,760
Speaker 2: Just a couple of years later, we Budenholtzer got fired

1023
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 2: two years after winning at all. That's amazing to me.

1024
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen because it's a players league in

1025
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: the NBA. Okay, you're not gonna You're not gonna get

1026
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 1: rid of Lebron, Lebron. It's time to go. Man. This

1027
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel got a state And unfortunately this what happens sometimes, Brian,

1028
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 1: someone just has to be blamed.

1029
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, fair enough. And yeah, when.

1030
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: You fired up all your clipper takes, Mazzi was looking

1031
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: right at you and that was all you, man. And

1032
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: then and then Mazzi's little game show came on and

1033
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: it was that was one of the most negative segments

1034
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: that I have seen in Fox Sports radio history that

1035
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: we were just a part of. And Brian, I'm gonna

1036
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 1: look right at you when they asked and they said.

1037
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 2: I gasped her up?

1038
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: Is that what happened? Right there? Man? Who let her

1039
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: wake up on the wrong Brian.

1040
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 2: Knew I could have a fall.

1041
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: Guy.

1042
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 2: You know what's funny is you're just talking about the

1043
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: Celtics having a deep roster, which they do, and it

1044
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: just made me think of the Clippers. They've got a

1045
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 2: deep roster as well, they just didn't have their stars healthy. Like,

1046
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: think about this. Where would the Celtics be right now

1047
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 2: with a deep roster. If Jason Tatum played two games

1048
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 2: and that was it, and Jalen Brown didn't play one

1049
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,280
Speaker 2: playoff game, they wouldn't be heading to the conference finals.

1050
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you that probably not, big fellow, But

1051
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: you're doubling down, man, that's between you.

1052
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 2: And I'm just saying, Man, it sucks that Hawhi and

1053
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 2: Paul George got hurt at the worst possible time. Hey,

1075
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 9: this past week with the media just hearing them explain it. Look,

1076
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 9: the Lions became, you don't want to say, a national team,

1077
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 9: but they did very well in hard knocks the people

1078
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 9: were excited about. In fact, they really should have gotten

1079
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 9: the playoffs. They got jobbed by what happened in the

1080
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 9: Seahawks game when Seattle won over the Rams, when there

1081
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,879
Speaker 9: was some really bad officiating in that game. The line

1082
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 9: should have gotten in the lines beat the Packers on

1083
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 9: that Sunday night game. But they're a team that the

1084
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 9: league looks at is up and coming, and that's talking

1085
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 9: to league about schedule.

1086
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: Over the years, they do.

1087
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 9: A little forecasting in terms of how they think the

1088
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 9: teams are going to do, and that plays into whether

1089
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 9: they get a primetime game. Now, last year, I think

1090
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 9: if we're all being honest here, most of us thought

1091
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 9: that that Broncos would be a team to watch with

1092
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 9: Russell Wilson didn't work out very well. The league missed

1093
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 9: on that we all did. But now with Sean Payton there,

1094
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,479
Speaker 9: they're going back to the well they have a slow

1095
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 9: of primetime games because the thinking is around the league.

1096
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 9: With Sean Payton coaching Russell Wilson, he's going to be better.

1097
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: Cap What was your biggest surprise with the schedule? Where

1098
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: was there a team that you looked at and just

1099
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: said they're getting set up for failure? Man, I am

1100
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: honestly surprised by the I guess the tough sledding that

1101
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: they may have early. Was there anybody that stood out

1102
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: that you said, Wow, the league, it must be frowning

1103
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: upon them, or they're not in the league with graces

1104
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: or definitely not given the respects schedule wise that they deserve.

1105
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 9: Yeah, Ran the one that surprised me. And I know

1106
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 9: teams have some say because they turn in what they're

1107
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 9: looking for in the league, does it their best to accommodate.

1108
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 9: The Giants have a ridiculous schedule. They have seven of

1109
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 9: their first eleven games are away. I don't understand that

1110
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 9: that simply should not happen, and they don't have their

1111
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 9: buy also, which is late. Week thirteen is late. We

1112
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 9: know that the season now is eighteen weeks, the seventeen

1113
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 9: game season, but having it in week thirteen is a

1114
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 9: little bit late. The Giants were certainly won surprise teams

1115
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 9: last year, no doubt they in Brian daboles first year

1116
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 9: as head coach, but I'm a little bit surprised that

1117
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 9: they have this type of schedule. To be honest with you,

1118
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 9: they have the toughest challenge of examining thirty two teams

1119
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 9: that this one, to me is just really going to

1120
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 9: be hard. And then, by the way, first four out

1121
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 9: of the first six weeks are away, and then they've

1122
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 9: got three games in a row weeks ninth through eleven,

1123
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 9: So to me, it's pretty tough.

1124
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 2: How about any other surprises primetime wise where you see

1125
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 2: the Packers without Aaron Rodgers get five of them, The

1126
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: Raiders get five of them. You mentioned the Broncos, they

1127
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 2: get four primetime games. Anything in terms of the teams

1128
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: that got a lot of primetime games where you're like,

1129
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if the league got that right.

1130
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 9: Well, okay, here's with the Packers. So the league called

1131
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 9: I think it might have been Mike North from the NFL.

1132
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 9: There was the call last week, and Mike's been involved

1133
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 9: with scheduling for a couple of decades, and he called

1134
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 9: the Packers one of the legacy teams, and he was

1135
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 9: ready for the question because we're shocked with no Aaron

1136
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 9: Rodgers and to have Jordan Love as the full time

1137
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 9: started for the first time, to get five prime time

1138
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 9: games as a shocker, that's probably the biggest surprise to me.

1139
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 9: Not the Jets as many of they as they gotten

1140
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 9: by the way, they get the money night game at

1141
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 9: home against Buffalo Week one. In fact, if you just

1142
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 9: did looked at the quarterback matchups, I've got probably the

1143
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 9: Jets and seven of the best quarterback matchups of the season.

1144
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 9: So clearly the league saw that with Aaron Rodgers and

1145
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 9: there's a major expectation, and of course the biggest media

1146
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 9: market in the country for sports is that Aaron Rodgers

1147
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 9: are going to put this team on the map.

1148
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeap, Do you think that Aaron Rodgers is going to

1149
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: have that? Is he chasing that Tom Brady like power

1150
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,479
Speaker 1: to kind of sign the guys he wants to maybe

1151
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: go get some you know, former All pros or some

1152
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: of his buddies on the team or is it, you know,

1153
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of business as usual. What type of

1154
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: control will he have over with the Jets.

1155
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, look, it's not control. But he made some suggestions

1156
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:20,919
Speaker 9: and he got two guys that he wanted. He wanted

1157
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 9: Allen Lazard and Rental Cobbs, a very close friend of his.

1158
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 9: In fact, I think.

1159
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 2: Rogers is God, Godfather of cops.

1160
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 9: Kids are very close. So he got two guys that

1161
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 9: he wanted, two guys that he played with. And and

1162
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 9: by the way, they're running the exact same offense that

1163
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 9: they did in Green Bay. They're running the old school

1164
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 9: West Coast offense under Nathaniel Hacket, who was close with Rogers.

1165
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 9: He was his OC for a time before he became

1166
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 9: the Broncos head coach, so to know each other and look,

1167
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 9: there's a serious expectation and they're talking to the Jets guys.

1168
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 9: I know they wouldn't put it this way, but this

1169
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 9: is just talks with them. This is the way I

1170
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 9: would put it. The whole their whole off season was

1171
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 9: based on getting Rodgers, and they got him, and their

1172
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 9: expectations are high. They're gonna give the Bills a push here.

1173
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 9: I don't know what they'll win the division, but they're

1174
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 9: gonna They're gonna push the Bills, There's no question about.

1175
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 9: And again they play in Week one on Monday night, you.

1176
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 2: Know, Adam Kaplan with us here FSR NFL Insider, we

1177
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: were talking about the NBA. We were reacting to Game

1178
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 2: seven Celtics beat the Sixers, and we were talking about

1179
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 2: Doc Rivers maybe losing his job and so that God

1180
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 2: is talking about other coaches. Mike Budenholzer of the Bucks,

1181
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: he lost his job and he won a championship two

1182
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: seasons ago, and we were just discussing this cap and

1183
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 2: I was saying, you don't see this as quickly in

1184
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. Can you think, off the top of your head,

1185
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 2: how many years removed from winning a Super Bowl a

1186
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 2: coach got ran out of Town.

1187
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 1: Three years met j Peterson.

1188
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, Dek Pearson won seventeen and he got Canna for

1189
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 9: the twenty twenty season. I think the common bond guys

1190
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 9: just talking to gms and head coaches and asistance over

1191
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 9: the years. And Ryan can relate to this from his

1192
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 9: days in the NBA as a as a player. When

1193
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 9: you lose your top lieutenants, when you lose your best

1194
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 9: assistant coaches, it's really hard to win. It's not talk

1195
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 9: enough about guys, to be honest with you, when you

1196
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 9: lose your best people around you, you could only do

1197
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 9: so much. You can't coach the team by yourself. And

1198
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 9: I think that's what happens sometimes now being here in

1199
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 9: Philly as a diehard Sixer fan. Look, this is an

1200
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 9: unbelievable stat. The Sixers have not gotten to the NBA

1201
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 9: Eastern Conference Finals in forty years. Wow, it's Look, it's

1202
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 9: hard to believe. Eighty two, eighty three is the year

1203
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 9: that they want it, and they even got the championship game.

1204
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 9: Ever since and look they got to seven games here.

1205
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 9: It's it's majorly disappointing. And I know fans now it's

1206
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 9: funny because a lot of the fans here hate doc Rivers,

1207
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 9: but being how bad the two stars embat and particularly

1208
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 9: hard and work today.

1209
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you can put your finger at anyone quite frankly.

1210
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: Kat, what do you make of the Tom Brady rumors?

1211
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 1: Is he gonna actually pursue the broadcasting d Hill join

1212
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the dark Side with us? Is he going to back

1213
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: out at the ninth hour?

1214
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 9: What do you say he's not right? He said, he's not, guys.

1215
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 9: I mean, in fact, a couple of things here. You know,

1216
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 9: he's involved with the Raiders here, trying to get a

1217
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 9: very minor piece of ownership. What's comical about that was

1218
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 9: before he went to the Bucks, the Raiders try to

1219
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 9: sign him, and that was a goal there. In fact,

1220
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 9: he wanted to go there. But I'm told that back

1221
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 9: what happened back then was the ownership Mark Davison Partickler

1222
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 9: was not real comfortable with what he was asking, and

1223
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 9: then four years later they're talking to him about being

1224
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,919
Speaker 9: a minority owner. It would be a very small piece.

1225
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 9: But it's just funny now he came out and said

1226
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 9: he shot the rumors down. He said he's going to

1227
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 9: go to Fox. But I still don't understand why he's

1228
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 9: taking the year the season off. It's really bizarre to

1229
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 9: me why that would happen. He's not going to do

1230
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 9: it till twenty twenty four. I don't quite understand that one.

1231
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 9: But I'm interested to see how good of a broadcaster

1232
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 9: Tom Brady will be.

1233
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: We know how smart he is, but it's not.

1234
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 9: So easy to walk in from the field to the booth.

1235
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 9: It's it's not like you can snap your fingers. And

1236
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 9: by the way, the broadcast coaches I have one when

1237
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 9: I was at ESPN, and those of us have done

1238
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 9: television that that's kind of what happens.

1239
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: I feel bad for bringing the Sixers up.

1240
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is what it is, though you know what

1241
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 9: you know as a diehard Sixer fan, former season ticket holder,

1242
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 9: I've lived it with the inaptitude. The bench is not

1243
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 9: good enough. I think Philly's not Boston. I picked Boston

1244
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 9: and six it went in seven. Boss is clearly the

1245
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 9: better team. I gave a Sixers credit. In fact, they

1246
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 9: had won two out of three there in Boston in

1247
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 9: the series until today. Very odd series. Also, this is

1248
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 9: one of the strangest I don't know if I can

1249
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 9: compare it to a playoff run, because obviously the in

1250
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 9: the NFL you're not playing in a series, but certainly

1251
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 9: it was a lot of twists and turns, and I

1252
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:51,479
Speaker 9: don't think any of us kind.

1253
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: Of gotten the games right the way that they went. Yeah,

1254
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: no doubt. It's been a lot of fun though with

1255
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 2: the unpredictability of it. But hey, cap as always, man,

1256
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 2: appreciate your time. Hope you have a great rest.

1257
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: Of the evening.

1258
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: Many thank you.

1259
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1260
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan, FSR, NFL insider and former season ticket holder

1261
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: for Sixers games. How about that? Who was the old

1262
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 2: team owner? Was it Pat Crochey?

1263
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Was that his name? Do you remember? Ryan?

1264
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 2: He is a very like energetic, sort of like the

1265
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 2: Balmer before Balmer. They used to show him in the crowd.

1266
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: It was like the AI Sixers and he's just going crazy.

1267
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 2: I can't remember if that was his first name. I'm

1268
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 2: pretty sure his last name was Croachy, but he was.

1269
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: He had the Balmer like energy over there for sure. Yeah,

1270
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 2: but I can't believe they haven't been Did he say

1271
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 2: the conference finals in forty years? Does that say or

1272
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 2: the the NBA Finals?

1273
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: No? Might it might have just been conference finals.

1274
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Conference finals? Man, Yeah, they made one. They made it

1275
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 2: to the finals.

1276
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: And O one.

1277
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the AI step over tylu remember that, but that's

1278
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 2: probably it the last four decades. That's wild to even

1279
01:03:59,320 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 2: think about.

1280
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: Tough to win in the NBA, man, it's tough to win.

1281
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 2: Man, Good lord, Okay, got a couple of mind blowing

1282
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 2: stats for you around the corner. First, though, Monzy Blagos

1283
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 2: with the latest Moncey got nothing negative about the Clippers

1284
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 2: leaning into something.

1285
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 5: At least at least there's that. I was a huge

1286
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 5: Allen Iverson fan. Obviously, I'm a Clipper fan, so I

1287
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 5: was rooting against the Lakers when it came down.

1288
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 6: To the Kings.

1289
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 5: When it came down with the seventy six Ers, I

1290
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 5: was rooting, you know, for them.

1291
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 6: But I was a big Ellen Iverson fan.

1292
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 5: And today I wore a Philadelphia seventy six Ers like

1293
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 5: bomber jacket.

1294
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 6: Guys, no joke. I've had it for like twenty three years.

1295
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 6: I think I got it in two thousand and one, and.

1296
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 5: I was telling the guys that I walked into finish

1297
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 5: Line with my parents and I saw it and.

1298
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 6: They couldn't afford it because it was.

1299
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 5: Too expensive at the time, and I cried until they

1300
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 5: bought it for me.

1301
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 6: That's the type of person I am. You guys, really,

1302
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 6: that's me.

1303
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 2: Really, that's what you did.

1304
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 7: That's on the credit card here because they didn't even

1305
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 7: have the cash.

1306
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 6: I'm such a terrible version, but I still it still fits.

1307
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 5: I still wear it, and I only can wear it.

1308
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 6: On these moments, you know.

1309
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: What I mean.

1310
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 5: And it wasn't that I was rooting for the seventy

1311
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 5: six ers or rooting for Boston.

1312
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 6: I didn't care who one. But I was like, I'm

1313
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 6: gonna wear my seventy six ers jacket.

1314
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 5: Today, and maybe I brought them bad luck because I

1315
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 5: literally have had it for so long.

1316
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 6: And I told this sir. I was like, yeah, I

1317
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 6: cried and I got it.

1318
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: You know what.

1319
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 2: I'll say this props to you every now and then.

1320
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 2: The female charm it works different when you might get

1321
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 2: out of a ticket or two. Well, it might be

1322
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 2: in the problem or jacket. If I was throwing a

1323
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 2: fit at finish lines, they just be like, hey, son,

1324
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 2: some things are going to go your way in life. Yeah,

1325
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 2: for sure.

1326
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 6: Definitely Daddy's girl.

1327
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 5: I'm sure it was my dad that was like, oh okay, okay,

1328
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 5: you know my mom was probably the one that I

1329
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 5: was saying no, but Dad, Dad, Dad gave in.

1330
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,439
Speaker 6: Dad gave in. So thank you to my dad and

1331
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 6: my mom.

1332
01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 5: Happy Mother's Day for giving me that sixers jacket that

1333
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 5: I still can wear.

1334
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 6: Anyway, Guys, how crazy is this?

1335
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 5: We're gonna have a rem of the twenty twenty NBA

1336
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 5: Bubble Conference Finals.

1337
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,479
Speaker 6: So it's gonna be the Heat and.

1338
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 5: The Celtics for the Eastern Conference and the Lakers and

1339
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 5: the Nuggets for the Western Conference. Because Boston really just

1340
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 5: dominated this game against Philadelphia in Game seven. One twelve

1341
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 5: to eighty eight was the final score. Jason Tatum out there,

1342
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 5: breaking records. Fifty one points, the most ever in a

1343
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 5: game seven. Poor Steph Curby had that title for like

1344
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 5: two weeks because he had fifty against the Sacramento Kings.

1345
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 5: Tatum fifty one to go along with thirteen rebounds and

1346
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:33,919
Speaker 5: five assists. Another stat here that I saw on social media.

1347
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 6: This Wednesday will start.

1348
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 5: This will be the start of the seventy fifth ever

1349
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference Finals and Boston has played in thirty eight

1350
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 5: of them, so more than half of the Eastern Conference

1351
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 5: Finals have included the Boston Celtics.

1352
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 2: That's crazy?

1353
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 6: Is that nuts?

1354
01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: What?

1355
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 6: What are we talking about that, are we talking about

1356
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 6: That's crazy?

1357
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 2: It's like some Patriots stuff there with all the conference

1358
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 2: title games they've been in, right.

1359
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 5: In football, Yeah, right right, it's on dynasty of just

1360
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 5: the team of the Celtics.

1361
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 6: That's crazy. Crazy.

1362
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 5: Three games going on in Major League Baseball right now,

1363
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 5: Rangers all over the A's.

1364
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 6: Eleven to three is the score, bottom of the eighth inning.

1365
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 5: But it does look like there's actually people at those

1366
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 5: A's game, guys.

1367
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 6: It looks like there's actually people in the stands.

1368
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 5: Maybe because it's Mother's Day, but there's people there trying to,

1369
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 5: you know, root for the A's. The Giants and the

1370
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 5: Diamondbacks are tied at one apiece.

1371
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 6: It is the bottom of the ninth inning.

1372
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 5: They aren't playing in Arizona, and Arizona has a man

1373
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 5: on first base and they're down to their final two outs.

1374
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 5: The Mets have scored some more against the Nationals.

1375
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 6: They're up eight to one.

1376
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 5: It's the bottom of the sixth inning and the Dodgers

1377
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 5: ended up shutting out the Padres for zero.

1378
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 6: Was the final score.

1379
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, thank you, Monzi. Brian Though and

1380
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,919
Speaker 2: Ryan Hollins with you here on Fox Sports Radio. You know, Ryan,

1381
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 2: with Monzi saying that it's the rematch at the Bubble

1382
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 2: in the conference finals, there is the slogan for this year,

1383
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 2: this time it counts. Is that where we're going with? O?

1384
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Wow? No, don't there the fact that these teams are back.

1385
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: Of course it counts. Man, you can't do that this time.

1386
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 2: It's for real. This time, travel is involved and actual

1387
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 2: wear and tear is factored in there as well. You know,

1388
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm just saying this, Listen, Man, I think you gotta

1389
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 2: find the middle ground. You might be one of these

1390
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 2: guys that hates this, but with the Lakers winning a championship,

1391
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: I'd say the same thing with anybody winning the Bubble championship.

1392
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 2: I think it helped out the Lakers more than any

1393
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 2: other team. And I'm not gonna take credit away from

1394
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 2: them or anything like that, But do you know Ryan,

1395
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 2: for sure that they would have won a championship if

1396
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 2: there was travel and you're playing home in a way

1397
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 2: like That's the one thing that bothers me is we

1398
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 2: don't know for sure how it would have shaken out

1399
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 2: if not for the Bubble. You know what I'm saying,

1400
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. I don't think that's unreasonable.

1401
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I tell you that no team was like, yeah, man,

1402
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't care about winning a championship. Now, maybe situations

1403
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: were clearly different, and I'm not gonna say that wasn't

1404
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: a factor of comfort. You know, fans. Let's say you're

1405
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: a place where it's very hard to play and the

1406
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 1: fans get real rowdy, Like we just saw the TD

1407
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: Garden and I played there. That definitely a home court advantage,

1408
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,480
Speaker 1: sleeping in your own bed. Like, There's a number of factors.

1409
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: So I would be lying to you if I said

1410
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: there wasn't a difference. Okay, but a championship to a championship,

1411
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: anybody who had the opportunity other than if I'm not

1412
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: mistaken Mazi's Clippers opted out would have gone and would

1413
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: have competed. And in those there were several teams that

1414
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: competed and tried to win a championship. I don't think

1415
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: anybody was like, you know what, we're just gonna take

1416
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 1: this one off. This this doesn't count. Guys went out

1417
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 1: and played. It counts.

1418
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 2: It's what it is, man, Yeah, now I hear you.

1419
01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:01,879
Speaker 2: It definitely counts. It's uh this time, it counts. Strength.

1420
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 2: That's the old MLB All Star Game thing right where

1421
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 2: it was home field for the winning league. Yeah, that's

1422
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 2: sort of this time it counts. Do we just dust

1423
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: that off for the conference finals now that we actually

1424
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 2: travel the.

1425
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: Fact listen, the fact that you have these four teams back,

1426
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought that up because I felt

1427
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: like it was that glad you brought it up. This

1428
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:34,799
Speaker 1: shows that clearly these teams are are are about their business,

1429
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: and they are certified to be where they are, and

1430
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: you got to put respect on their name. You can't

1431
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: can't give this, you know, notion of you know, these

1432
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,479
Speaker 1: guys like not deserving to be there. They all these teams,

1433
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: all the players made it back, and they're essentially outside

1434
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: of Lebrons Lakers, the other teams are. Every other team

1435
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 1: is pretty much well very well intact from the bubble.

1436
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 2: Okay, so let me put it to you this way.

1437
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 2: If the Lakers don't emerge winning a championship, is it

1438
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 2: not fair to look at them a little sideways for

1439
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: the Bubble championship, in particular going to Denver in elevation,

1440
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 2: which they didn't have to do a few years ago.

1441
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Unless you are a Lebron hater or a Laker hater.

1442
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: You just didn't want to see the Lakers win a championship.

1443
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't think there's just any way that you look

1444
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: at it and go, yeah, man, this is when they

1445
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: really count. Man, this was like a.

1446
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 2: You know, comprehend I think there's a middle ground. It

1447
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: absolutely counts. But hashtag asterisk, that's all that hashtag astrisk.

1448
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 8: In the same vein though the Lakers haven't lost at

1449
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 8: Staples this postseason, and they lost that throughout their entire

1450
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 8: postseason run in twenty twenty. Well, I think it goes

1451
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 8: both ways.

1452
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 2: Maybe I just know that they were a little older,

1453
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 2: a little injury prone, and not having to travel helped.

1454
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 2: I'm not taking all credit away. Like That's the thing.

1455
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 2: I think if anybody says anything slightly critical about the

1456
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 2: Lakers Bubble championship, people are often running like you're taking

1457
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 2: all credit away.

1458
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 7: It's like, no, no, just a couple of things to consider,

1459
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,240
Speaker 7: that's all that's taking all credit away.

1460
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,280
Speaker 2: They want it fair and square, but with no travel involved,

1461
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 2: that's all that's all.

1462
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, I didn't see this coming from you. Wow.

1463
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, how about this is a crazy

1464
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 2: stat relating to the upcoming Western Conference Finals. So Yokich,

1465
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 2: he has had six games ryan where he's been the

1466
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 2: outright leader in points, rebounds, and assists in the same game.

1467
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 2: So you led all three categories, both teams, all players

1468
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 2: on the court involved. He's done that six times in

1469
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs. The only player in NBA history with more

1470
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 2: such games is Lebron who's done it fifteen times. How

1471
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 2: crazy is that We're in those fifteen games he was

1472
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: the leader in points, the leader in rebounds, the leader

1473
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 2: and assists. That's insane.

1474
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, look, we've never seen anything like Nicola Jokic, and

1475
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys at this point. You see

1476
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: those stats, they've been there. I don't think they wow you.

1477
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: What's gonna wow you for Jokic is him winning a championship.

1478
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: He's at that next step type of place. But the

1479
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: style of play that he has, he's essentially the point center. Yeah,

1480
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: and what that derives it says, hey, the basketball is

1481
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: going to be in his hands. So he's gonna get

1482
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: those assists because he's smart enough, he's he knows the

1483
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, both teams players, he's that he's talented enough

1484
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: to get the assist. And then because he's the center,

1485
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: he's underneath the rim, he's the biggest guy on the

1486
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: floor for the most part, He's gonna get those rebounds.

1487
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So look into the Ryan Hollands crystal ball here.

1488
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 2: Does Jokic pick up another game? Does Lebron pick up

1489
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 2: another game where they are the leader in points, rebounds,

1490
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 2: and assists all three categories in a particular game. Do

1491
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: you think either of them has another notch on the

1492
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:02,679
Speaker 2: belt this series?

1493
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: Yokic is far more equipped right now than Lebron. Lebron

1494
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: is doing it an excellent job in LA of just

1495
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: leaning on his role players. I think that's the big

1496
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 1: difference in the Lakers season right now and why they've

1497
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,920
Speaker 1: had the success. They're not as Lebron heavy as they been,

1498
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: and we have to realize that Lebron is getting older. Man,

1499
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 1: he is human, so that's a big part of it.

1500
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: So I think clearly, if there's someone that's going to

1501
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 1: get another notch on the belt, it will be Yolkic.

1502
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we'll see how that goes. Coming up next,

1503
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 2: we got to talk about conserving energy and also can

1504
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 2: you guess what the hottest ticket in town is? Details

1505
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 2: on that as well. I'm Brian though he's Ryan Hollins.

1506
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm

1507
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:54,679
Speaker 2: Brian know he's Ryan Hollins. Here on Fox Sports Radio.

1508
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the tire rack dot

1509
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 2: Com studios. So the hottest tick in town here Ryan,

1510
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 2: We've got in the NFL this coming season. It is

1511
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 2: for the season opener, actually the home opener for the Patriots.

1512
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,919
Speaker 2: They're taking on the Eagles and they'll be honoring Tom Brady.

1513
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 2: So Tom Brady will return to Foxborough. They're gonna have

1514
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 2: all these you know, rolling out the red carpet. It's

1515
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,679
Speaker 2: the most expensive ticket of the season. The average price

1516
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 2: get this, eight hundred and seven dollars a pop. What

1517
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,639
Speaker 2: do you think about you go see an NFL game

1518
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 2: for eight oh seven you think about that?

1519
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: You know what it is, Tom Brady. This is gonna

1520
01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 1: be history. Man. You can imagine the montage before the game,

1521
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: and things have been a little weird with Tom and

1522
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: the team, so it will be a special night. It's

1523
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 1: it's worth it. It's worth the money. And like I said,

1524
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I agree, Look, man, this is gonna be history in

1525
01:15:58,160 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: the making. Now.

1526
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 2: I know you have those uh those kicks, those sneakers

1527
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 2: that cost about as much as a Lamborghini, You know

1528
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,960
Speaker 2: what I mean? So I I preface it with that,

1529
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 2: what is the most that you've spent on a ticket,

1530
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 2: whether it's a concert or a sporting event.

1531
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: You asking the wrong guy, man, I'm as cheap as

1532
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: they come. Really, Yeah, okay, it ain't for me. Man. Listen, Look,

1533
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:28,759
Speaker 1: I spend it nothing on nothing.

1534
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 2: You're saving it for sneakers, is what you're doing? Is

1535
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 2: that what's going on? No games? No, I'm waiting for

1536
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 2: comp tickets. I'll buy the I'll buy the shoes.

1537
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: But paying for sneakers either.

1538
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 2: Man, No, you gotta get those comps as well.

1539
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah that athlete.

1540
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh dude, Well you're in a different bracket over there.

1541
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 2: That's great. That's uh, that's fantastic. I mean, what do

1542
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 2: you think about this? Let me change subjects on you

1543
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 2: here too, because we were talking about Lebron the Lakers

1544
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 2: the Western Conference Finals matchup against the Nuggets, and Lebron

1545
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 2: has been asked a few times about conserving energy and

1546
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 2: he sort of downplays it right where he's like, ah,

1547
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm just out there playing. He's certainly conserving energy, which

1548
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 2: isn't a problem is not a knock. I think that's

1549
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 2: what he should be doing. He's playing major minutes. His

1550
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 2: foot is not healthy and he's working through it, but

1551
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 2: he's constantly downplaying it. I don't think there's anything wrong

1552
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 2: with coming out and saying, yeah, I gotta look for

1553
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 2: some spots to rest while I'm on the court. But

1554
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 2: he's ultra aware of the quote unquote narrative, you know

1555
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 2: what I mean. He always wants to control the narrative,

1556
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 2: so he doesn't want to put that out there because

1557
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 2: he knows some people might take it and run with it.

1558
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Lebron is like essentially always done that. That's

1559
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 1: why he's able to have such longevity. Listen, newsflash, if

1560
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: you were playing on both ends of the floor with

1561
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,519
Speaker 1: all due respect and playing hard and doing it you

1562
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: know the right way, you ain't gonna last long in

1563
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: the league. You gotta pick your spots, and especially if

1564
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: you're a guy with the ball in your hands, and

1565
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you can look at Kawhi and say, hey,

1566
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, he just landed weird. I think that Zaza

1567
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: Paculia where that he turned an ankle and it probably

1568
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, bothered the knee, and you know, everything went

1569
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: on from there. We don't want to go down down

1570
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: that road. But Kawhi was a guy that essentially played

1571
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: really hard on both ends and it is hard for

1572
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:32,480
Speaker 1: your body to last through that. And I think, uh,

1573
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: some of that is the reason that you Lebron has

1574
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 1: had his longevity because he does pick his spots. He

1575
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: is smart enough to know when when it's time to

1576
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:41,639
Speaker 1: hold him and when to fold him.

1577
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I've always respected that about Lebron, where, especially

1578
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 2: in his younger days, he battled through a lot of stuff.

1579
01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 2: I'll never forget him against the Bulls where he turned

1580
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 2: an ankle so bad he landed on someone's foot and

1581
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 2: rolled it and it was like his ankle literally touched

1582
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 2: the floor and I'm like, he's done, Like there's I

1583
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 2: literally just watched his ankle touch the floor and he

1584
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 2: went back in the game hit the game winning shot.

1585
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,480
Speaker 2: It was insane. Like, I think that's off and overlooked

1586
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 2: sports in general, but especially the NBA because it's not

1587
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 2: as physical as the NFL. But there are dudes, some

1588
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 2: of them, and Lebron's one of them that battle through

1589
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 2: those injuries that sometimes put other guys on the shelf.

1590
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. N Lebron's a freak of nature physically when it

1591
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: comes to being able to bounce back from injuries and longevity,

1592
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: and you know, when you're that big and strong, people

1593
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: almost like kind of right it off, Like that didn't

1594
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: that didn't hurt as bad as it looked, And it's like, nah, dude,

1595
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: you'd be out two to three weeks if that happened

1596
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: to you.

1597
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Same thing with Jimmy Butler. Jimmy rolled his ankle

1598
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 2: so bad at the beginning of the Knicks series and

1599
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 2: he missed one game. That's it is out there balling again.

1600
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy some of those guys battling through what they do.

1601
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 2: All right, come it up next. I want a new statistic.

1602
01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 2: That's right, Well, Ryan Hollands, agree or not? New stat

1603
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: I say, that's on the way. Oh what's going on everybody?

1604
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 2: I hope you're enjoying your Sunday here as always, Happy

1605
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 2: Mother's Day to the mothers out there, especially my mama.

1606
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 2: Best in the business over here, Ryan Hollins. But everybody

1607
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 2: who's done a fantastic job raising boys and girls. This

1608
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 2: is your day. Hope you having a fantastic one. We'll

1609
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 2: get to what I believe should be a new stat here, Ryan,

1610
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 2: we are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.

1611

Speaker 2: thousand recommended installers. Tyrack dot com the way tire buying

1614
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 2: should be. I'm watching Anthony Davis in the playoffs here

1615
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:54,839
Speaker 2: and the amount of shots that he disrupts and changes.

1616
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 2: I would love a stat for that, Ryan, where really

1617
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 2: you only get you only get a a little notch

1618
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 2: for blocked shots, and he's certainly done his fair share

1619
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 2: of that. But with Anthony Davis, you saw it, especially

1620
01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 2: in Game six against the Warriors, other times in that

1621
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 2: second round series against the Warriors, where if he's not

1622
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 2: blocking shots, he's disrupting shots, he's changing shots. The amount

1623
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 2: of shots that guys just turned down with him patrolling

1624
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 2: the paint, I would like for him to at least

1625
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 2: get credit, and for anybody else if you defend the

1626
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 2: shot taker and he's literally like having to change the

1627
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 2: arc of his shot, it's not a block shot, but

1628
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 2: it's disrupted. I think you should get credit for a

1629
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 2: disrupted shot. What do you think about that?

1630
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know you're right, and Anthony Davis,

1631
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: you're If he wasn't blocking it, man, he was a

1632
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: huge factor in this series. Listen, I'd probably got a

1633
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: lot more money if that was quantified, because that's something

1634
01:21:58,160 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: that I did personally in the league. Is I would

1635
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 1: I would contest a lot of shots. I didn't maybe

1636
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: have the numbers for blocks. But you think about a

1637
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 1: guy like Joel Embiid unfortunately who just lost, he'd probably

1638
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 1: be higher up there. But it's the activity that guys

1639
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: don't necessarily get the credit for. But that would be

1640
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: an excellent stat Look, personally, i'd love to see.

1641
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 2: It, right, Can we make that happen? Like I think

1642
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 2: it's a little bit tough at times. I liken it

1643
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 2: to a hurry in the NFL in football, like they

1644
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 2: talk about like a quarterback hurry.

1645
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: Right.

1646
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:38,839
Speaker 2: A pressure is what they call it, a QB pressure.

1647
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 2: That's not a sack. It might not even be a hit,

1648
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 2: but you are pressuring the guy to get rid of

1649
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 2: the football before he would like to. You get credit

1650
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL for doing that. And I realize basketball

1651
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 2: is different because most of the time, like you're a

1652
01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 2: foot in front of the guy you're guarding, you know,

1653
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 2: like a guy rushing the court, it stands out a

1654
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 2: little bit more if you truly pressured the guy or not.

1655
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 2: It might not be as clearcut to tell if you

1656
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 2: truly disrupted the shot, But I think you can. I

1657
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 2: think you can tell when somebody changes the arc of

1658
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 2: their shot because they raise up and they're like, oh,

1659
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 2: this is gonna get blocked by Anthony Davis unless like

1660
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 2: completely change the arc of this and try to get

1661
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 2: around his outstretched arm. You can tell. You can tell

1662
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 2: when a shot is disrupted or not. I just think

1663
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 2: defenders should get credit for that, because unless it's a block,

1664
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 2: you don't get credit for doing that.

1665
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, and especially in the last series Anthony Davis, you know,

1666
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: he he I mean he was. He was so big time,

1667
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: and you know that's what you expect from him. You know,

1668
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: if the Lakers gonna win a championship, we've known it

1669
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: was on you know, kind of the back of his health.

1670
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 1: When he's on the floor and playing at a high level. Man,

1671
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: he's one of the better players that we have in

1672
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: our game, and he's gonna have to show up in

1673
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: a major way against Denver. But yeah, those contested shots,

1674
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 1: they're important. Because it makes you have to think twice

1675
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: about going to the hole. And you're right, it's not

1676
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who shot you can block, but

1677
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: you can make them miss. And that is something that

1678
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 1: you don't see a lot. But you're right, you know,

1679
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: it would be like a quarterback hurry. So hey, it

1680
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: may be a little subjective how you quantify it, but

1681
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 1: for the power forwards and centers in the game, you

1682
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: definitely be able to look at it and see effect.

1683
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to see that. Brian Now and Ryan

1684
01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 2: Hollins with you here on Fox Sports Radio. So the

1685
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:32,639
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals. They'll

1686
01:24:32,640 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 2: take on the Miami Heat. Boston beat the seventy six

1687
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 2: ers one twelve to eighty eight. They beat them down

1688
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 2: by twenty four points. Jason Tatum with fifty one points. Here, Ryan,

1689
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 2: and this might sound strange, but I think this was

1690
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 2: the best performance of the NBA Playoffs thus far. And

1691
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 2: it wasn't the game today with Tatum dropping fifty one.

1692
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 2: I would go to the game prior where Jason Tatum

1693
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 2: in the first three quarters, he scores three points. He's

1694
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 2: one for thirteen from the field. He's zero for six

1695
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 2: from three point range. He couldn't hit a shot. He

1696
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 2: hit one shot in three quarters. Think about losing your confidence.

1697
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 2: You're on the road. This is a do or die

1698
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 2: Game six. If you lose, your season is over. And

1699
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 2: what does Jason Tatum do. He scores sixteen points, He's

1700
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,640
Speaker 2: four to five from three point range. He outscores the

1701
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 2: sixers by himself in the fourth quarter. I don't think

1702
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 2: that you can overstate when you've got it flowing like

1703
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: he had today, it's just easier. He dropped twenty five

1704
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 2: in the first half, and he comes out firing in

1705
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 2: the second half. He's got his confidence, he's in a rhythm,

1706
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,679
Speaker 2: he's in a flow. It's when you've got the opposite working.

1707
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 2: You can't hit a shot to save your life, and

1708
01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 2: yet you still have the confidence to take those big

1709
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 2: shots and power through it with your season on the line.

1710
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 2: That's as clutch as it comes. I think that Game six,

1711
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 2: going from one for thirteen from the field to dropping

1712
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 2: sixteen in the fourth quarter alone, I think that was

1713
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 2: the best performance of the entire postseason thus far.

1714
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: I can hear I can hear it. I definitely see

1715
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 1: what you're saying in terms of hey, man, like he

1716
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: was cold. And that's the thing about Jason Tatum. That's

1717
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of been his story all season long. And I

1718
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: think the challenge for Joe Mizoula is how to get

1719
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: that Jason Tatum all the time. He'll have games where

1720
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: he he just seems uninterested, he's not going, and then

1721
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: you see him go off. In your mind. I can

1722
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: imagine Brian, You're probably like, man, that's ken Kevin Durant

1723
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: do that. We hadn't seen it from Lebron. You're you're

1724
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 1: thinking of history. We literally saw history from him, But

1725
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: you're saying, you know what, forget the history, get consistency,

1726
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: and then you're not in a situation where this this

1727
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: even this looked like Philadelphia had no business in a

1728
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: Game seven scenario with this team. They didn't even look

1729
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: like they're in the same ballpark. But the Celtics were down,

1730
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 1: which seems almost inexcusable. So you know, the Celtics are

1731
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: going to be happy to advance. You gotta put respect

1732
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: on Philadelphia. Maybe James Harden threw them off, not sure how,

1733
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: you know, Philly just kind of fell apart, But hey man,

1734
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: give credit where it's due. It was a special performance.

1735
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 2: Hey man, and you can speak to that too, Like

1736
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 2: every athlete goes through a cold spell at some time

1737
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 2: and it's hard. It's hard to get your confidence back.

1738
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 2: And with Tatum, he's at he's at center stage in

1739
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 2: Game six. The season is slipping away. He can't hit

1740
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:46,600
Speaker 2: a shot. He is ice freaking cold. And there are

1741
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 2: a lot of guys where they either get worse or

1742
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 2: they shy away. They just it's a hot potato. They

1743
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 2: passed the ball as soon as they catch it, you know,

1744
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:58,080
Speaker 2: and they don't want to be the goat. And for

1745
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 2: Tatum to face that pressure and to succeed, I was

1746
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 2: the most impressed with him turning around that Game six

1747
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 2: because it turned around the Celtics entire season. They needed

1748
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,959
Speaker 2: him to come through like that. If he doesn't score sixteen,

1749
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 2: we might not have even seen a Game seven. We

1750
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't have. So I just I think of remember

1751
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 2: Nick Anderson with the Orlando Magic where he missed those

1752
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 2: four free throws in the NBA Finals. You remember that,

1753
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 2: it's tough. You just start getting in your own head

1754
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 2: and it's like you're in this funk and you just

1755
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 2: cannot get out of it. And for Tatum to get

1756
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,439
Speaker 2: out of that Game six. Funk I was the most

1757
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,839
Speaker 2: impressed with that. And we've seen Yo Kids drop fifty.

1758
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 2: We just saw Tatum today drop fifty one. We've seen

1759
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 2: some insane Butler went crazy against the Bucks a few times.

1760
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 2: We've seen some insane performances. But the one performance that

1761
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 2: made me say wow the most was Tatum turning it

1762
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 2: around in game six.

1763
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, you're right, and it was needed. But like

1764
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I said, the problem when you see and obviously if

1765
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: you're the Celtics, you're glad he turned it around. He

1766
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 1: figured things out. But you're going the big question is

1767
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: why were they they even in that situation to start,

1768
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 1: Why were they in the situation where they needed that?

1769
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Why did they have to have that? And that's that's

1770
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 1: just tough. It seems like, hey, the inconsistency is something

1771
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 1: that really shouldn't be there for the Celtics because they

1772
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: are too good and Jason Tatum, hey man, you're so good.

1773
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: There should be no spells where you're just missing and

1774
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: people have to find you. He is that type of talent. Man,

1775
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:46,040
Speaker 1: He's box office.

1776
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that insane? Think about that? So if you

1777
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 2: go back, you combine both games like Game six and

1778
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 2: Game seven for the Celtics against the Sixers. So you

1779
01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:00,759
Speaker 2: go back to Game six, Tatum scores three three points

1780
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 2: in those first three quarters. So if you attached the

1781
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:08,679
Speaker 2: fourth quarter from the last game to what he did today,

1782
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 2: that's sixty seven points in five quarters. So he went

1783
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 2: from scoring three and three quarters to sixty seven in

1784
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 2: five quarters like that. You can't explain how that happens.

1785
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 2: It's the same guy.

1786
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think what I see also is the Celtics

1787
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 1: are deep, and Jason Tatum can come out every night

1788
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 1: and take twenty to twenty five shots. He can go

1789
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: to get his and get numbers. But they really share

1790
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 1: the basketball. But he's getting in these situations where it's like,

1791
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,880
Speaker 1: you know what, we need the Tatum show you you

1792
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: sharing the basketball is not good for the Celtics, And

1793
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 1: the tighter that things get, the more your team is

1794
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 1: going to need you to step up because you're the guy. Now.

1795
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 1: He has a unique ability to get his shot off.

1796
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: He's he's six foot eight, he shoots the ball at

1797
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:02,280
Speaker 1: the top of his jump and he's got an excellent

1798
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 1: handle and when he attacks the rim, it's tough because

1799
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 1: he now puts pressure on your defense. You can't screwed

1800
01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: up and just playing for the jump shot only. You

1801
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 1: got to respect everything. So he started attacking the rim,

1802
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 1: getting downhill, and it changed the dynamic of the way

1803
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 1: that you can guard him. I mean, if Philly knew

1804
01:31:21,080 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: that sooner, they're probably throwing you know, it probably worked out.

1805
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: They're probably throwing double and triple teams at him. But

1806
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: they really didn't have an answer for the way that.

1807
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly they didn't have an answer. It was

1808
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 1: history today. But because he waited for that moment to

1809
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,680
Speaker 1: turn it on and you know, hey, man, should we

1810
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 1: be giving Joe Mizula more credit saying, man, he really

1811
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 1: kind of timed this or saw this coming, and you

1812
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 1: know he let JT just go out and rip, you know,

1813
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 1: held him back until the right moments.

1814
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:51,759
Speaker 2: Is there anything you could put your finger on, Ryan

1815
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 2: as to why players and teams have been so inconsistent

1816
01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 2: in this postseason, because it's it seems like even more

1817
01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 2: so than others when you consider we just mentioned it

1818
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 2: with Tatum, right, we laid it out three points in

1819
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:12,840
Speaker 2: three quarters, sixty seven and five quarters, like that's that's inconsistent.

1820
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 2: He scored fifty one today. He had seven points in

1821
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 2: a win earlier in the series. Right Like, it's just

1822
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 2: been up and down. Anthony Davis up and down, James

1823
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 2: Harden up and down sometimes with teams. The Sixers in

1824
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 2: Game five go on the road in Boston, win a

1825
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 2: game where unbelievable. Then they go home for Game six

1826
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 2: they shoot thirty six percent from the field. It's like,

1827
01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 2: is there anything you can put your finger on as

1828
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 2: to why the range has been so drastic between player

1829
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 2: performances team performances. The inconsistency has been through the roof.

1830
01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call it inconsistency. And what I'm gonna

1831
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: do is I'm gonna stop you in your tracks. And

1832
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 1: anybody who thinks how you're thinking right now, huh. The

1833
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: reason I'm gonna do this up because when you had

1834
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors just ripping through the competition, and

1835
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: it was getting to a point where all you kept

1836
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: saying was Golden State versus Cleveland, Golden State US and

1837
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 1: nobody liked the parody, and everybody was tired of these

1838
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: super teams And what's the use in watching? I know

1839
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:20,719
Speaker 1: the outcome The NBA teams and players are good. These

1840
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,640
Speaker 1: guys can all play and if you don't show up

1841
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:25,719
Speaker 1: with your a game, you're gonna get run off the floor.

1842
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 1: So I bring that up to say, let's not complain.

1843
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 1: Let's not that you know what I'm saying, Like right, Like, I'm.

1844
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 2: Just saying, what's the reason for it? I love it?

1845
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm you, but you know what I'm talking about.

1846
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 1: Like there's some people that feel that way, and it's

1847
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 1: like nobody wants you know, my god, this is the

1848
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't show what beaters show, and it's like everybody's good.

1849
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 1: This is what you ask for. You know, there's no

1850
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,720
Speaker 1: more super team that's just blowing everybody out. So you know,

1851
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:01,559
Speaker 1: you got to as a fan not be the person

1852
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: who's just never happy. Now, I mean, if you're if

1853
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: your home base or your team, your home team is winning,

1854
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 1: that's all you care about. For the most part, we

1855
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 1: got to enjoy the good basketball.

1856
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing is I just have a curious mind.

1857
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,719
Speaker 2: I'm all for parody. Like it's the thing that drives

1858
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 2: the NFL the most is it's parody driven. And that's

1859
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 2: why it's so exciting. Is you might have crazy turnarounds

1860
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 2: from one year to the next. I love in these

1861
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 2: playoffs where we've got an eight seed in the Heat

1862
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 2: that are in the conference finals. We've got the Lakers.

1863
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 2: Those are two playing teams, the Lakers in the Heat,

1864
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:42,439
Speaker 2: they're in the conference finals. I love how unpredictable it's been.

1865
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to just pencil in all right, wake

1866
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 2: me when it's Warriors Caves. That was not fun to

1867
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 2: me at all. I love this postseason way more. It's

1868
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:53,400
Speaker 2: so more unpredictable. But I'm just trying to come up

1869
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:57,879
Speaker 2: with the reason as to why it's been so crazy

1870
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 2: in terms of yeah, player team performance is sure.

1871
01:35:01,479 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 1: For one, three point shooting right, that breeds inconsistency. Small

1872
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 1: ball breeds inconsistent Because the paints open, you got to

1873
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 1: pick your poison. When there were centers in there, you

1874
01:35:10,160 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 1: knew the kind of best center would be satisfactory, he'd

1875
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:15,000
Speaker 1: win the game. You do what you need to do.

1876
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, there are more stars, and where are

1877
01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 1: When I say more stars, what does that mean? The

1878
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 1: old stars are still around and the new stars are

1879
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 1: starting to pop up. So you got a Steph Curry

1880
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:30,960
Speaker 1: in the league, and then you got a Trey Young

1881
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: in the league. You got a a Lebron James in

1882
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: the league, and you got the the European lebron Luka Doncic.

1883
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 1: So he call these teams are stacked. You got Giannisana Koupo,

1884
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 1: and then you got Embiid and then James Harden's still around.

1885
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 1: So like there's just so many stars that the league has.

1886
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: And then you look it over at the Kings and

1887
01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 1: Darren Fox and Tbonus. Those guys are box office. They're

1888
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: playing pound for pound with the league's best. So I

1889
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:58,760
Speaker 1: think this is just the most talent Brian that the

1890
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 1: NBA has ever seen.

1891
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 2: Hey, you might be onto something. It's and I think

1892
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 2: also I think it's hard to do what Tatum did

1893
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:10,200
Speaker 2: in Game six. I know it's hard to do, which

1894
01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 2: is if it starts bad, somehow get it right. Brooker

1895
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:18,680
Speaker 2: started off bad in game six, Right, he just had

1896
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 2: a bad game. KD started off bad in game six,

1897
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,439
Speaker 2: just had a bad game. You know, it's hard to

1898
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 2: start off bad and just swing it around, you know

1899
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:29,919
Speaker 2: what I mean, whether it's individual or team wise, because

1900
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 2: you don't see that you don't see the changes as

1901
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:34,600
Speaker 2: much if you just start off ice cold. There have

1902
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 2: been times where Klay Thompson, right, he started off cold,

1903
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 2: and he remained cold. I think it's hard to just

1904
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 2: get on track when you start off badly. Maybe that's

1905
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:46,640
Speaker 2: the theme that we've seen more times than not in

1906
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 2: the postseason. Hey, we got a lot to do over here.

1907
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 2: We've got a ball to discuss. Are you an NFL guy, Ryan,

1908
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:55,439
Speaker 2: you have an NFL team that you like.

1909
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 1: The most of San Francisco forty nine or throwing through.

1910
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 2: Man the forty nine ers. Okay, we might have to

1911
01:37:01,000 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 2: talk about, you know, Purdy versus Trey Lance. Might get

1912
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,040
Speaker 2: some Niner talk in here. I'm curious what your thoughts

1913
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 2: are on that. Also, right around the corner, it's a

1914
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,960
Speaker 2: very cool Mother's Day tribute from a player. We gotta

1915
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 2: highlight that. I'm Brian Know, he's Ryan Hollins. Keep it

1916
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 2: locked right here on Fox Sports Radio. Brian, No, he's

1917
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 2: Ryan Hollins. Here on Fox Sports Radio. We're coming to

1918
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 2: you live from the tire Rack dot Com studios. So

1919
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:29,680
Speaker 2: I caught this. There was a piece on the Athletic

1920
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 2: Darnell Mayberry wrote this about the Bulls Damar DeRozan Ryan

1921
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 2: and Damar was talking about the special relationship he has

1922
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 2: with his mom. I thought it was about a couple

1923
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:43,400
Speaker 2: of minutes on this on a Mother's Day, because this

1924
01:37:43,400 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 2: is a really cool story. Now this is in Damar's

1925
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 2: own words. Let's just read you a little bit of this.

1926
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:54,040
Speaker 2: It started off hard where he said, my mom couldn't

1927
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 2: have kids. She was trying but had multiple miscarriages. My

1928
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,959
Speaker 2: mom didn't have me until she was in her mid thirties.

1929
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:04,640
Speaker 2: I'm my mother's only child, but for years before I

1930
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 2: was born, one of my uncles used to always get

1931
01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 2: her a Mother's Day card every Mother's Day, even though

1932
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 2: she didn't have a kid. He always used to tell her,

1933
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 2: one day, you're going to have a kid. And she

1934
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 2: ended up having me. She ended up naming me after him.

1935
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 2: And then he went on and talked about how close

1936
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:24,880
Speaker 2: they were and how she kept him in line and

1937
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 2: kept him away from trouble, and she had a couple

1938
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 2: of brothers die due to violence and ones in jail

1939
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 2: for life, and she talked about He talked about how

1940
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:38,400
Speaker 2: she was like constantly on him, used to whoop him,

1941
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:42,760
Speaker 2: as he said, but he really thanks her for doing that.

1942
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 1: Now.

1943
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 2: I just thought that was really interesting how he put

1944
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 2: it in his own words. And I'm just happy that

1945
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 2: she had him and they have the relationship that they have.

1946
01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 2: But Bowle's star Tamar DeRozan given props to his mom.

1947
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:57,960
Speaker 2: It was a really cool story. Man, just wanted to

1948
01:38:58,000 --> 01:38:58,720
Speaker 2: let you know about that.

1949
01:38:59,680 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: You know what's funny you say that it It doesn't

1950
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 1: surprise me. I Damorrow is one of the younger guys

1951
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 1: in the gym when we go play pick up, and

1952
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's just worked himself into having a Hall

1953
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:14,640
Speaker 1: of Fame career, obviously, but he's always, even as a

1954
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: younger guy, had a like just cool, calm like demeanor,

1955
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:23,519
Speaker 1: like never egotistical, always you know, played within himself, didn't

1956
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:25,519
Speaker 1: get into it with anybody, just kind of went about

1957
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 1: his business. And Damar DeRozan man, like I said, hall

1958
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 1: of fame career. But actually hearing that story as you

1959
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:36,360
Speaker 1: bring it up, makes a lot of sense to way

1960
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:39,599
Speaker 1: to the way that he is today. And shout out

1961
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 1: Mama DeRozan Manu for for having a you know, raising

1962
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,559
Speaker 1: a great young man and having a family around him.

1963
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: But yet no, I he's he's always had a bit

1964
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 1: of an old soul. If I don't know if that

1965
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:51,799
Speaker 1: makes sense.

1966
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 2: No, it totally does. And that was part of the story.

1967
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 2: That's one of the things that he said was because

1968
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:58,920
Speaker 2: you know, his mom had him a little bit later

1969
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,919
Speaker 2: in life compared to speaking right in their mid thirties,

1970
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 2: and he said that being an only child and having

1971
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 2: this close relationship with his mom, he was a bit

1972
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 2: of an older soul. And it was the story was

1973
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 2: really interesting where if he got really emotional about something,

1974
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 2: his mom always let him get it out. She's like,

1975
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 2: just get it out. She's like, cuss, say every word

1976
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 2: under the sun in front of me. You just don't

1977
01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:25,040
Speaker 2: say that in front of other people. But he described

1978
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 2: himself the same way as having a bit of he

1979
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 2: was a bit of an old soul. So it's interesting

1980
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,280
Speaker 2: you saw that too a long time ago in Deamorrow.

1981
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it makes complete sense because you know, as

1982
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 1: an NBA player, you know, I was just especially a

1983
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 1: younger guy, there's so much ego that goes into it

1984
01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:48,120
Speaker 1: because you are literally competing with the best in the world.

1985
01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:52,920
Speaker 1: So it's acceptable and a guy like Damar DeRozan Damar

1986
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:56,360
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. He never had an ego, and a lot

1987
01:40:56,400 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 1: of guys to be the best, they feel like they

1988
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,519
Speaker 1: have to kind of take on that personality that the

1989
01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 1: level of competition can take over. And I'm telling you

1990
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I've never felt that from Demorrow Man. He has always

1991
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 1: been cool, calm, collected, one of the coolest guys I know. Man,

1992
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 1: And listen, Man shot out to Mama DeRozan like I said,

1993
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 1: Because like I said, it just makes a lot of

1994
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,120
Speaker 1: sense seeing that and hearing that from a man. Cool story.

1995
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 2: Thanks b Yeah, for sure, Man. And you know what's funny,

1996
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 2: Ryan is I never really thought about it like this,

1997
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 2: but I'll use your forty nine ers as an example,

1998
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:35,880
Speaker 2: because there's an old offensive lineman, Harris Barton, and he

1999
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 2: talked about he's just a nice guy, and he'd really

2000
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 2: have to get in the right mindset to go on

2001
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 2: an NFL field and push guys around, you know, and

2002
01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 2: be a physical player. He had to really become somebody

2003
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 2: else on the field. And you see that all the

2004
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:57,919
Speaker 2: time in the NFL, where there are some mild mannered

2005
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 2: guys off the field that are just free and maniacs

2006
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 2: on the field. But I never really thought about you.

2007
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 2: You have to have an ego to a degree to

2008
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:10,840
Speaker 2: be an elite athlete. I think, especially in a game

2009
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:13,880
Speaker 2: like the NBA, you've just got to ooze confidence and

2010
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 2: Damar certainly does on the basketball court. But you know,

2011
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 2: to transition from in the case of football, going from

2012
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:26,719
Speaker 2: like this physical warrior to being like mild, mannered, nice

2013
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 2: off the field, it's a change. But to check your

2014
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 2: ego off the court sometimes you can't do that. Some

2015
01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:36,599
Speaker 2: guys just turn into that all the time. I think

2016
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:37,360
Speaker 2: that's interesting.

2017
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you're right, and it is something to battle with,

2018
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 1: you know. I know, growing up, we're always told, you know, hey,

2019
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: after the game, ain't none funny, ain't no laugh, and

2020
01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 1: if we lose, we didn't bring it. Man. I used

2021
01:42:51,720 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 1: to take that mentality home with me if we lost,

2022
01:42:57,120 --> 01:42:59,040
Speaker 1: because that's what you're taught. You don't want to be

2023
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 1: the guy I'm to Joe, guess what, he doesn't care, right,

2024
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: But when you go home, you're no longer a professional athlete,

2025
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:09,439
Speaker 1: and that weighs on guys. That is tough on family life.

2026
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 1: You know. Look, man, I had to learn the older

2027
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:16,439
Speaker 1: you get to separate. The game is over. What happened

2028
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 1: in to the game was in the game. You don't

2029
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:22,240
Speaker 1: take it home with you because that wears out on

2030
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 1: your family, and your family didn't do anything to have

2031
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 1: to deserve that. Man, you lost. We all lost, you

2032
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 1: know that mentality.

2033
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 2: I just think so many times you hear this and

2034
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:36,760
Speaker 2: other occupations like leave work at work, and you think

2035
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 2: about how hard it has to be to be a

2036
01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 2: professional athlete to leave work at work. You know what

2037
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 2: I mean, Because if you're depending on your level of

2038
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 2: fame and how big the stage is that you compete on,

2039
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,880
Speaker 2: you got all this social media. You turn on the TV,

2040
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,760
Speaker 2: they're talking about you, like, it's hard. It's hard to

2041
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 2: just be like, all right, you know game seven today,

2042
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 2: But now I leave that at the arena. Now it's

2043
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,000
Speaker 2: time to go home and be a father like that.

2044
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,520
Speaker 2: That is just not easy. I think that's often overlooked.

2045
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 1: No it is, and it's just a part of growing up,

2046
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,599
Speaker 1: and you know, just figuring sport out. Man, the older

2047
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: you get, the whitser you get. And you know, I'm

2048
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: glad I was fortunate first off to even play long

2049
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: enough and have a family still hanging around with me

2050
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,240
Speaker 1: through the process. But man, there's so much to learn.

2051
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,759
Speaker 1: That's why you know, we talked about John Morant earlier.

2052
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 1: I hope that he can seek advice and get close

2053
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: to someone who's been there before. I saw earlier on

2054
01:44:39,160 --> 01:44:41,600
Speaker 1: Twitter shout out to roun Our Test Man. I just

2055
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 1: had him on the pop, but Ron said, hey man,

2056
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,200
Speaker 1: holler at me. I want to talk to you John Morant.

2057
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:49,160
Speaker 1: And I hope that whether it's roun Our Test or

2058
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 1: someone who's been there before, I could sit down and

2059
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 1: talk with John Morant about what should or shouldn't happen.

2060
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 1: But I'd never walked in his shoes or been even

2061
01:44:56,600 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: in a similar situation with someone who's somewhat similar, who

2062
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,679
Speaker 1: understands and who speaks the same language, who can say,

2063
01:45:02,680 --> 01:45:04,760
Speaker 1: hey man, this is how you get over that hump,

2064
01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 1: that's how you make money, or hey man, I lost

2065
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,800
Speaker 1: everything and I was able to eventually become this, this

2066
01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 1: or that. You know. So hopefully someone that he can

2067
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: relate to, that can talk that same talk, can sit

2068
01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:19,599
Speaker 1: down with Jai and work things through. Man. But it

2069
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: is hard for these athletes, man, It's a no one

2070
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: understands what it's like. Man. And I know you get

2071
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 1: paid millions of dollars some guys. Always adds up to

2072
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,760
Speaker 1: a billion after some But ain't none easy about it?

2073
01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:34,360
Speaker 2: Man, No, I hear you. We got to get to

2074
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:36,759
Speaker 2: a job. We want to circle back to that around

2075
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 2: the corner because I think that's interesting what you brought

2076
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:43,879
Speaker 2: up right there first, though, Moncey Bolanos with the latest

2077
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 2: in the sports world, including fifty one for fifty one.

2078
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know Jason Tatum understood today's assignment.

2079
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:51,719
Speaker 6: I think he was the only one.

2080
01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 5: He realized Game seven, okay, I gotta do some and

2081
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 5: he did.

2082
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:56,719
Speaker 6: And I called him out at the beginning.

2083
01:45:56,760 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 5: I was like, I need you to prove to me

2084
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 5: because there are times when I feel like drops the

2085
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:03,720
Speaker 5: ball and it's like, prove that you are the star.

2086
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:04,600
Speaker 6: And he heard me.

2087
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 5: Fifty one points, thirteen rebounds, five assists, no question about it.

2088
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 5: The Boston Celtics dominated the Philadelphia seventy six ers this.

2089
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 6: Entire game one. Twelve to eighty eight was the final score.

2090
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 5: They'll be facing the Miami Heat for Game one on Wednesday,

2091
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:24,800
Speaker 5: which I mentioned earlier will be a rematch of the

2092
01:46:24,800 --> 01:46:29,320
Speaker 5: twenty twenty NBA Bubble Conference Finals because on the western side,

2093
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 5: West Coast Conference side, it's the Lakers and the Nuggets

2094
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 5: that are gonna go at it, and Game one for

2095
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 5: that one is on Tuesday. But yes, Jason Tatum's fifty

2096
01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:40,080
Speaker 5: one points the most ever in a Game seven he

2097
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 5: beat Steph Curry, who had just had the record with fifty.

2098
01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:45,599
Speaker 6: He hit that against the Sacramento Kings recently.

2099
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 5: How about this, you guys think Ben Simmons was talking

2100
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,839
Speaker 5: a little smack on his Instagram story.

2101
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:54,759
Speaker 6: He posted it still there. He hasn't taken it down.

2102
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 5: It is a picture of him probably in his beautiful home.

2103
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:01,120
Speaker 5: There's a glass of wine, a small water bottle, and

2104
01:47:01,160 --> 01:47:03,320
Speaker 5: then the TV in the background, and it's the game

2105
01:47:03,720 --> 01:47:08,519
Speaker 5: and the score is Boston one o eight, Philadelphia seventy eight.

2106
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:11,880
Speaker 6: Is he talking a little smack?

2107
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 3: You know?

2108
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 6: That's what it's like. That's what it is. He's showing

2109
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 6: the game, you know what I'm.

2110
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:19,759
Speaker 2: Saying, Like, you know, it's just one of those all

2111
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,720
Speaker 2: you wanted to make it all about me. I was

2112
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 2: the problem. It looks like you're getting blown up by

2113
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:29,160
Speaker 2: twenty four. If I've got my eyeglasses on it, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2114
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 5: A little smack talking there. It's still up. It's still up.

2115
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 5: It's still a lot of his stories. He has not

2116
01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 5: taking it down. You guys were talking about coaches. Mike

2117
01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:40,080
Speaker 5: Budenholzer was fired for the Bucks, Monty Williams was fired.

2118
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 6: What do we think about Doc Rivers. Well, this is

2119
01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 6: what he had to say after today's loss. Are you

2120
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 6: planning to be the coach of the team next year?

2121
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I got it. I think I got

2122
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: two years left.

2123
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 2: So given the tenor of what you've seen happen in

2124
01:47:54,400 --> 01:47:56,519
Speaker 2: the last two or three days, where coaches of the year,

2125
01:47:56,600 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 2: guys with titles.

2126
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one's safe in our business. You know, I

2127
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:00,559
Speaker 1: get that.

2128
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:04,440
Speaker 6: So what does that mean, Doc Rivers?

2129
01:48:05,439 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 2: Hmm, I mean I get why he would hope to

2130
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 2: be back.

2131
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 5: But right, right, right right, But that's what he had

2132
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 5: to say after today's loss. One game going on in

2133
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:16,360
Speaker 5: Major League Baseball right now. It's the Cardinals on the

2134
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 5: Red Sox. They are tied at one apiece top of

2135
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 5: the second inning. The Dodgers completed a sweep of the

2136
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:24,680
Speaker 5: Padres after shutting them out for zero. LA now has

2137
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 5: the best record in the National League. Josh Nayler of

2138
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 5: the Guardians, there must be something in the air because today,

2139
01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:33,160
Speaker 5: for the third day in a row, he had a

2140
01:48:33,200 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 5: go ahead home run in the eighth inning. It's been

2141
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 5: the same the last three days. They beat the Angels

2142
01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:41,600
Speaker 5: at home four to three. The benches cleared between the

2143
01:48:41,640 --> 01:48:44,880
Speaker 5: Phillies and the Rockies. During the seventh inning, Colorado pitcher

2144
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,519
Speaker 5: Jake Bert said something to Bryce Harper that he did

2145
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:51,599
Speaker 5: not like, and Bryce Harper went at him. The benches cleared,

2146
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:54,759
Speaker 5: both were ejected. The Rockies ended up winning four zero.

2147
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 5: Bryce Harper was zero for three, but I don't know

2148
01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 5: if that's what he was saying to him.

2149
01:48:58,240 --> 01:49:00,400
Speaker 6: I have no idea. The Rays top thing. He's in

2150
01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 6: New York eight to seven. The Pirates shut out the

2151
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:03,479
Speaker 6: Orioles four zero.

2152
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:08,200
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh right hand pitcher Mitch Keller through seven scoreless innings,

2153
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 5: struck out thirteen and didn't even.

2154
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 6: Walk a batter.

2155
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 5: We also had victories for the Diamondbacks, the Rangers, the Brewers,

2156
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays, who walked it off against the Braves,

2157
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:20,400
Speaker 5: the Tigers, the Marlins, the Twins, and the Astros, and

2158
01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 5: of course the big story out of the NBA's drum

2159
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:23,800
Speaker 5: around which I know you guys are going to talk

2160
01:49:23,840 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 5: about it. He was suspended from all Grizzlies activities after

2161
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:29,479
Speaker 5: he was seen flashing in a parent gun in another

2162
01:49:29,520 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 5: social media video. This morning, he was trending. He's still trending,

2163
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 5: and a lot of people are actually comparing his story.

2164
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 5: His situation on social media to Aaron Hernandez.

2165
01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,479
Speaker 2: WHOA, yeah, that's a bit of a lead.

2166
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's a lot too like since this morning.

2167
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 6: It's what the comparison is. I don't agree, but that's.

2168
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:49,719
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say Gilbert Reinis.

2169
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,320
Speaker 6: No, they're taught.

2170
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 5: And this specific is that you know that he had

2171
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:55,720
Speaker 5: a good childhood, a good life.

2172
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:58,680
Speaker 6: Growing up, and now here he is, you know, not mad.

2173
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 2: Just this situation. It hasn't murdered anybody, right for sure?

2174
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 5: All right, right, and so people are like, that's the

2175
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 5: rabbit hole he's going down, yeah, which is quite unfortunate.

2176
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:10,479
Speaker 6: Very yes, guys, it's.

2177
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: Been fun back to you always, Bonzi, thank you very

2178
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:13,759
Speaker 2: much of course.

2179
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:14,320
Speaker 1: Yes.

2180
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,439
Speaker 2: Brian though, and Ryan Hollins with you here on Fox

2181
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:20,320
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. I mean, what do you think about that

2182
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 2: if we dive into the Jahn Morant topic here again Ryan,

2183
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,320
Speaker 2: where like Monty just said that he's facing a long

2184
01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:31,679
Speaker 2: suspension from the NBA. He was seen in another video

2185
01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:35,920
Speaker 2: apparently holding a gun. The Grizzlies have suspended him from

2186
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:40,640
Speaker 2: all team activities. You've got Commissioner Adam Silver, He's got

2187
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:44,479
Speaker 2: a lot of latitude to suspend John Morant for a

2188
01:50:44,560 --> 01:50:47,559
Speaker 2: long time, and there are a lot of teams around

2189
01:50:47,600 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 2: the league that want that to be the case because

2190
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:55,839
Speaker 2: they say this hurts our ability to promote our players.

2191
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 2: If we've got a star who's supposed to be one

2192
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 2: of the faces of the league getting in trouble again

2193
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 2: for the same thing two months after he did this

2194
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 2: in Denver, I think the Aaron Hernandez comparison is way

2195
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:12,719
Speaker 2: out of line. Like that, Come on, man, he hasn't

2196
01:51:12,840 --> 01:51:15,880
Speaker 2: murdered anyone. I think that goes a little bit too far.

2197
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 2: But what would you say about this whole situation? And

2198
01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:22,599
Speaker 2: if if Jah asked you for advice, your former NBA player,

2199
01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:24,759
Speaker 2: what would you say as far as that goes.

2200
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 1: Ryan, I would advise Jah to lay low. He shouldn't

2201
01:51:34,120 --> 01:51:34,559
Speaker 1: be seen.

2202
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 8: Uh.

2203
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 1: If he wants to party, I get it, He's young.

2204
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: Do it at home built behind closed doors. Nobody should

2205
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:46,600
Speaker 1: see you. The people that come around you should be

2206
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:51,600
Speaker 1: signing NDA's. Those cell phones should be collected. If you

2207
01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:54,559
Speaker 1: like to go out, you like the club, you got

2208
01:51:54,640 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 1: enough money, bring the club to you. And I know

2209
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:02,840
Speaker 1: guys that have brought the club to that. Okay literally literally, Yeah,

2210
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 1: there is a The Wizards it was a funny story.

2211
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: We were talking with if it was Gilbert, one of

2212
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:12,320
Speaker 1: those guys on the Wizard team. They had a reputation

2213
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:14,120
Speaker 1: for kind of going out and partying, and I think

2214
01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:16,439
Speaker 1: I think it was Gilbert that said it. And Flip

2215
01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 1: Sanders was there. I think he was new there, and

2216
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 1: he goes kind of goes, hey, you guys aren't going

2217
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:25,080
Speaker 1: out on my watch. There's a curfew. Everybody stay in

2218
01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:27,559
Speaker 1: the hotel. You're not going anywhere. You guys are done.

2219
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:29,839
Speaker 1: So they said, oh, we got to stay in the hotel. Okay,

2220
01:52:30,280 --> 01:52:34,839
Speaker 1: if they ordered a pretty much, they ordered a company

2221
01:52:34,840 --> 01:52:38,400
Speaker 1: to the hotel, I'll leave it. They brought the party,

2222
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:42,040
Speaker 1: they brought the club there. Okay. So Joe, if you

2223
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:46,839
Speaker 1: really want to have fun, you want no phones, no anything,

2224
01:52:46,960 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 1: keep it. Just keep it to yourself. We've all been

2225
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:51,759
Speaker 1: young before. Nobody needs to see it because you're gonna

2226
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,920
Speaker 1: lose a lot of money. And and for the record,

2227
01:52:54,960 --> 01:53:01,519
Speaker 1: no Joah to Knowledge is not hurt anybody. He's got

2228
01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 1: some cases pending. Okay, well we'll leave it at that,

2229
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:09,519
Speaker 1: but he's not directly accused of you know, anything, just

2230
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:12,760
Speaker 1: just wild okay, and nothing that he can't survive from.

2231
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:17,040
Speaker 1: But this probably goes against league policy or something. I'm

2232
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:23,719
Speaker 1: no uh lawyer, I have no specific expertise, but he's

2233
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:25,840
Speaker 1: he's primed to lose a lot of money, man, and

2234
01:53:26,240 --> 01:53:28,840
Speaker 1: it ain't good. And he's he's in a chance where

2235
01:53:28,840 --> 01:53:33,479
Speaker 1: he can, uh you know, make generational money for himself

2236
01:53:33,520 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 1: and his family. So laylo keep everything in private, keep

2237
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 1: it basketball. The only vision that we should see of

2238
01:53:40,040 --> 01:53:42,679
Speaker 1: you is that you're in the gym and working. Everything

2239
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:46,640
Speaker 1: else should be so exclusive behind closed doors. Guess what

2240
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 1: you ain't see. You ain't see Kobe partying. You ain't

2241
01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: see LBJ partying. I'm not saying you're you are those

2242
01:53:54,240 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 1: guys or you got different images. You hear stories of

2243
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. There's certain guys. Yeah, I heard one time

2244
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: this guy. There's a reason those guys are are never seen.

2245
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 1: They're heard about what they're never seen. Yeah. John Morant's

2246
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:10,519
Speaker 1: stuff is getting way too public.

2247
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:14,080
Speaker 2: No, that's that's really well said. That's good advice, because

2248
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:17,320
Speaker 2: John's got a couple of strikes against him, now, you

2249
01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 2: know what I mean. This isn't his first screw up,

2250
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 2: because he was seen on video just two months ago

2251
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:26,760
Speaker 2: in Denver with a gun, and so he's got to

2252
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 2: realize that, you know, if it were I'm literally watching

2253
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:33,839
Speaker 2: the Cardinals in the Red Sox. You know, John Morant's

2254
01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:37,480
Speaker 2: count right now if he's batting, is not you know,

2255
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:41,480
Speaker 2: zero zero or one to oh right, like it's an

2256
01:54:41,560 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 2: O two count basically, you know what I mean. So

2257
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:46,040
Speaker 2: it's like you've got a couple of strikes on you

2258
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 2: in terms of what you've done in the past. So

2259
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:51,560
Speaker 2: he really got to keep his nose clean because I

2260
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:55,160
Speaker 2: can promise you this the next suspension for the gun,

2261
01:54:55,320 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 2: the latest video, it's not going to be the same suspension.

2262
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 2: It's going to be harsher. It might be a whole

2263
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 2: lot harsher. And so I just I don't know. Sometimes

2264
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:08,600
Speaker 2: you hear people say things about certain athletes and you

2265
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 2: wonder where is this coming from, you know what I mean?

2266
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:16,200
Speaker 2: And for me when it comes to jo Is, it's like, bro,

2267
01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:21,280
Speaker 2: You've got the world by you know, in your hand,

2268
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:24,280
Speaker 2: and it's like, just don't screw that up. Like sometimes

2269
01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 2: I get it. As a young kid, you don't realize

2270
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:28,560
Speaker 2: the opportunity that you have right in front of you.

2271
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:32,320
Speaker 2: It sounds ridiculous, but you don't quite realize what you

2272
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 2: have and sometimes it's too late to realize that. And

2273
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 2: I hope that's not the case for Jo. That's the

2274
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:39,760
Speaker 2: place where I'm coming from.

2275
01:55:39,800 --> 01:55:42,920
Speaker 1: And you know it. Listen my advice also, reach out

2276
01:55:42,960 --> 01:55:46,800
Speaker 1: to somebody who's been there before. You know, for me,

2277
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 1: something simply rule the thumb and like, reach out to

2278
01:55:49,480 --> 01:55:52,320
Speaker 1: someone who's been there before. When I was a young guy,

2279
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 1: I look to Brevin Knight, Othella Harrington, those guys. Why

2280
01:55:56,200 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 1: because they were in the league thirteen fourteen, fifteen years

2281
01:55:58,520 --> 01:56:01,280
Speaker 1: and I said, man, how do you stay in this league?

2282
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 1: When I want marriage advice, I don't want to talk

2283
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 1: to a newly led I want to talk to people

2284
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:09,680
Speaker 1: who've done it thirty forty years.

2285
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:14,520
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, no doubt. Yeah, it makes sense, you know,

2286
01:56:14,760 --> 01:56:17,160

Speaker 2: he was on the New Heights podcast Jason kelce Travis Kelcey.

2312

2313
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:53,520
Speaker 2: and just listen to this exchange over here. Check this out.

2314
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:56,000
Speaker 1: Did he actually come up to you in the NFC

2315
01:57:56,080 --> 01:57:58,160
Speaker 1: Championship game and ask you if you could throw left handed?

2316
01:57:58,200 --> 01:57:59,040
Speaker 1: Then he wanted to win?

2317
01:57:59,200 --> 01:58:00,840
Speaker 2: He was like, dude, with your left hand?

2318
01:58:00,880 --> 01:58:02,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I can't. Have you learned to throw

2319
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:08,000
Speaker 1: lefty this offseason? What? Yeah? Man?

2320
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:09,520
Speaker 2: I was telling all the guys we just got back

2321
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:12,400
Speaker 2: today for Phase one OTAs and just throwing the ball left.

2322
01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:16,960
Speaker 2: He got to be ready for anything at this point. Okay,

2323
01:58:17,160 --> 01:58:20,200
Speaker 2: all right, let's review here. So Brockbirdy was talking about

2324
01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 2: George Kittle coming up to him in the NFC title

2325
01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:26,480
Speaker 2: game against the Eagles and saying, just throw lefty. Just

2326
01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:28,440
Speaker 2: get out there and throw lefty. He hurt his elbow

2327
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:32,560
Speaker 2: right And so in the off season, now Brockbirdy is

2328
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:37,760
Speaker 2: practicing left handed throws. What are we doing over here?

2329
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 2: You know, okay, fine, he's a little antsy. Let's perfect it.

2330
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you think he could throw like

2331
01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 2: five yards? What were you doing over here? Ryan Hollins,

2332
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 2: what's going on now?

2333
01:58:49,080 --> 01:58:55,840
Speaker 1: You know? It's interesting here. Throwing left handed may make

2334
01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:58,120
Speaker 1: him a better quarterback, and they're going, what is this

2335
01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:02,680
Speaker 1: basketball guy? Yeah? Right, right right, in the sense of

2336
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:07,120
Speaker 1: when you're alrighty, you do everything you're using, not just

2337
01:59:07,320 --> 01:59:10,879
Speaker 1: your one side of your your arm, it's your hips

2338
01:59:11,200 --> 01:59:14,800
Speaker 1: that you're using only one side of. So throwing left handed,

2339
01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:18,000
Speaker 1: I may equal or center your body a bit and

2340
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 1: help him a better help him be a better quarterback.

2341
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:23,520
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's the worst thing, and I

2342
01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:25,200
Speaker 1: don't think this is going to take away from him

2343
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:26,920
Speaker 1: being a right handed quarterback. But you know what an

2344
01:59:26,960 --> 01:59:32,120
Speaker 1: emergencyk's sake, No, he can do some five yard checkdowns

2345
01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:33,160
Speaker 1: left handed. Man.

2346
01:59:34,320 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 2: You know, I hate to end on a sour note

2347
01:59:36,360 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 2: because we've been vibing here, but your boy party is

2348
01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:40,440
Speaker 2: so overrated.

2349
01:59:40,480 --> 01:59:40,640
Speaker 1: Man.

2350
01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:47,280
Speaker 2: But it's been fun. Ryan, always good to hang with you.

2351
01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:47,520
