What's right with Nick? Right, Today's 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.640 going to be a fast show. I know I say 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.160 that a lot, Yeah, today I actually mean it because 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.360 today the NCAA tournament starts. So I figure people are 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:31.840 already blocked out for about twelve hours of sports content today. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.720 So I'm gonna be quick. We're gonna be done well 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.760 before the bat the games get going. Give you a 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.400 nice little break if you're watching us live on YouTube 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.920 before the games tip off a little afternoon. Also, I 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.600 gotta be totally transparent here. You don't know if you 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.640 believe like what you just said. No, I do believe 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.960 what I just said. I am really nervous about the 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.960 UH ratings for today's television. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.480 Show, for today's specific because of the tournament. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.000 Because of the tournament's where we're gonna be programming the 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.360 tournament now Tomorrow, Luckily the TV show is dark. We're 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.200 off I think because a NASCAR or something or I'm 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.720 not sure what. Well, whatever it is, we the we 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.880 don't have to. We're not on the air tomorrow today. 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.079 I do think there are no The problem is this 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.760 even people such as myself who are not super into 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.919 college basketball throughout the regular season are watching the tournament, 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.880 and so I was gonna be like, maybe NFL and NBA. No, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.280 because even NFL and NBA fans are gonna be watched. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.359 So we'll see maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and we'll 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.440 do a nice number today on television. But the tournament 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.800 has not started. This show has. It's episode one thirty five. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.760 Let's get to what. Oh, by the way, kept the commitment. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.799 Third straight show. We're in the coordinating tracksuit. We'll see 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.520 how how many of these we keep going. I think 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:57.840 I've worn this exact outfit on the show two other times, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.720 once when I interviewed Lil Wayne and one other time randomly. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.239 All right, first, what missed the cut? Matt Ryan has 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.120 been released by the Indianapolis Colts. The Clippers team plane 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.920 was struck by lightning, and that's not a euphemism for 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.000 signing Russell Westbrook. It actually was struck by lightning. And 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.120 Ezekiel Elliot Cutt needs to play center elsewhere. That does 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.000 suck for Zeke. His final play as a cowboy was 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.120 him getting power bomb to the center of the earth 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.840 on that against the Niners. All right, let's start the 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:30.640 show to Monday. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.720 All right, man, Aaron Rodgers pulled the old reverse card 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.880 on Pat McAfee, yeah, saying that Rogers said the Packers 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:40.840 are the ones dragging their feet on the trade and 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:41.400 not him. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.280 Yeah, sorry about that. I'm sorry. 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.520 Now there are rumblings that this trade may be drawn 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.520 out even further as both teams believe they're the ones 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.280 with the leverage. Yeah, the whole world now thinks Rogers 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.240 is a Jet. So wouldn't it be really funny if 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.000 this ended up falling through the cracks at this point? 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.960 All right, So it's not gonna fall through the cracks, 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.840 but there is a legitimate question about when this happens, 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.000 So we can talk about that in a second. First, 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.680 I want to talk about Rogers' actual interview. So Rogers 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:16.040 clearly tried to make the case that the Packers, for 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.279 lack of a better term, owe it to him to 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.040 just move on. They he said, I'm the longest tenured 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:27.080 packer ever, I'm arguably the greatest packer in team history. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.680 Go ahead, they owe it like that, They owe it 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.080 to him to just let him go, to take whatever 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.520 the Jets are offering and move on. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.080 After the huge contract he just requested the previous show 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:39.000 exactly right. 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.279 So there was first, let me say this because I 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.320 said it on TV. I believe Aaron Rodgers when he 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.680 said he told them on Friday he wanted to be 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:56.920 a Jet, and so I should apologize for criticizing him 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.120 for dragging this out into free agents, because it does 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.120 not look like he did that free agency opened Monday. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.840 Essentially he told them Friday. I believe him on that. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.960 I do not believe him when he says when he 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.680 went into the darkness he was ninety percent retired, ten 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:20.000 percent coming back. That's not credible to me. And Broussard 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.320 made a really good point on TV, which was he 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.680 claimed when he went into the darkness he was ninety 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.200 percent retired, ten percent coming back. A packer only wanted 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.839 to play for the Packers. Came out of the darkness, 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.560 found out the packers didn't want him. Well, if that's 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.679 the case, then you just retire if you were leaning 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.800 ninety percent retirement, or just play with the Packers. You 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.320 then find out the packers don't want you, It doesn't 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.040 make a lot of sense. They're like, okay, now I'll 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.279 just go play for the Jets. So I don't believe 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.600 him on that he can be upset if he wants 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.640 it's sixty million dollars guaranteed to him. Sorry about that, 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.800 if it's sixty million dollars guaranteed to him if he 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.080 plays this year. I don't think he was ever retiring. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:03.440 Go ahead. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.840 So you're saying that you think there might be some 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.880 false like he went in there thinking that he was 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.440 probably gonna try to play for another team. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.559 I think he went in there thinking he was gonna play, 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:17.040 and this idea that he was blindsighted that the Packers 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.159 were ready to move on. When December twenty sixth, Mark 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:25.760 Schlereth told me on TV the Packers were ready to 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.840 move on, there have been at the NFL combat. There 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.080 have been rumblings for weeks the Packers are ready to 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.520 move on. It seems odd that Rogers would be the 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.880 last to know about something like that. That's first of all. 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:47.960 Second of all, I don't think Rogers has generated enough 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:55.159 long term goodwill, given how high maintenance he's been over 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.159 the last few years, to where the Packers are just 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.600 going to be like, all right, third round pick, let's 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.960 move on. I don't think they're gonna do that. It 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.880 would be bad business. Even you could argue even if 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:11.240 he had generated that, that would be bad business. But 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.760 I don't think he has generated that type of goodwill that. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.120 Second of all, Third of all, he was not totally 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:21.760 honest in this interview on stuff we know about. So 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.080 he went after Diana Roussini. So I want to read 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:31.720 you Diana Rusini's actual tweet. Okay, So Diana Rusini two 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.680 days ago say that again, demark the. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.440 Wish list that Aaron Rodgers requested. I find it crazy 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.640 that people don't think that he did that. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.239 Well, he admitted that he did that much. So here's 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:50.920 what's interesting. So Diana Russini called it a wish list. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.760 Here is the exact tweet. Aaron Rodgers has provided the 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.120 New York Jets with a wish list of free agents 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.440 he would like them to target. It includes Randall Cobb, 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:09.640 Alan Lazard, Mercedes Lewis, and Odell Beckham Junior. He went 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:15.640 on McAfee and debunked the idea that he demanded they 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.520 sign these guys, and then explained how he absolutely talked 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:24.560 to them about guys he likes and gave his opinion. 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.760 He confirmed. She did not say now if she had 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.280 tweeted Aaron Rodgers has told the Jets he will only 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.679 accept a trade there if they sign X, Y and Z. 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.199 That's different. That is not what she reported, and they 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:46.040 have signed Lazard. He on McAfee spoke glowingly about Mercedes Lewis, 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.720 who's thirty eight years old, Randall Cobb, who was the 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.840 seventh oldest receiver in football last year that actually played, 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.760 and Odell so. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:56.440 It. 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:05.680 He gets very upset about stuff without always having his 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.280 facts exactly lined up. So there's all of that. Now 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.760 there's the actual cap mechanics of this. And I apologize 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.160 for all these bells and whistles going on this morning. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.360 There's all these cap mechanics going on about it. Okay, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:24.679 the Packers are going to take a forty million dollar 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.959 dead money hit by trading Aaron Rodgers for forty million 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.680 is going to go to Rogers cap if he's not 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:38.280 on the team now, if they trade him after June first, 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.560 they can spread that out over two years. Sixteen million 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.240 this year, twenty four million next year. Now, you know 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.160 my belief, if you're not competing for a Super Bowl, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.520 take your medicine. Now, I think it would be smarter 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.600 for them to take the full forty million this year 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:02.360 and have a clean cap next year. However, if they 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:07.040 feel like, we don't want the first year without Rogers 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.840 to be a totally down year, we want to be 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.640 able to compete at the highest level possible, then in 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:18.319 that circumstance, they might think we're better off waiting until 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.600 after June first. Now, flip side to that is that 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.240 would mean whatever compensation you get from the Jets is 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.280 not this year's draft. It's next year's draft, right, so 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:31.600 that they have to weigh all of that. But right now, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.959 the Packers they can wait as long as they want. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.760 They can wait theoretically into August if they want to. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:45.040 I don't think they will, And I don't know strategically 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:51.400 if Rogers played yesterday properly, I just don't And so 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:52.360 go ahead. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.200 Do you think this cements Rodgers is one of the 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:56.960 biggest NFL divas in history. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.360 I mean, he's skyrocketing up the list. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.280 Yeah, I mean, I I mean obviously I haven't always 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:04.520 followed football, but I can't. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:04.800 Really. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.440 The only guy that comes to mind when I think 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.880 of divas is like Jalen Ramsey. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.959 Well, let's stay with quarterbacks from a lot of wide 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.040 receiver divas Corners. It's kind of part and parcel with 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:20.080 the position. You don't you don't remember Cam, you would 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.640 Cam a little bit. Maybe you don't remember the Farv stuff. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.600 He's Farv retired, came back retired, came back. You you're 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:35.640 but and so there is, and Rogers replaced Farv like 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.600 and Rod Farv ended up going to the Jets like 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.199 there's and Rogers sat for three years and love Is 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.920 sat for three years. There's a lot of history repeating 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.920 itself here, the Rogers taking late in the first round, 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.120 Love singing in the first round. Farv was upset with 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:56.480 the pick right, there's now four Jets fans. The biggest 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:01.160 piece of optimism is actually a bit of an indictment 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:06.960 on Rogers. It The biggest piece of optimism is that 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.320 Rogers can still be great when he's got a chip 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:15.600 on his shoulder and motivated, and he just wasn't last year. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:21.199 So Rogers won his back to back MVPs right after 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:26.040 the Packers drafted Jordan Love and made it clear they 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.880 were ready to move on. Then he was great. Then 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:34.440 he signed his new contract and was not good. Now 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:39.720 he does seem to be motivated again himself. However, if 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.880 this if Rogers play declining last year was a lack 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.439 was due to a lack of motivation, and now all 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.720 of a sudden, he's excellent. It's almost an indictment on 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:50.680 him as an athlet. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:51.160 Right. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:53.800 They gave you the one of the greatest contracts in 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.120 NFL history, and you're like, Okay, now I can relax. 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.720 That ain't great. That's really not great. Uh. I don't 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.079 think the Jets should do this, but they're too far 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.280 down the road. They've signed Lazarre, they hired Hacket, they're 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.560 doing this. I don't think it will work out. And 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.319 do you have another question you want to ask me 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:13.000 before I move on? 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.040 But yeah, if the Packers draw this out too long, 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.000 should the Jets extend Lamar and off? 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.840 They're not doing They're the Jets are pot committed now 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.160 to the Rogers thing, and I believe Rogers is gonna 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.320 play there. But I don't if this was going to 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:30.080 if this was going to be a relatively simple negotiation, 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.720 it would be done. It is in both teams best 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.920 interests for it to be done. But it is more 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.360 in the Jets' best interest for it to be done 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.080 than the Packers. Right, because Jordan's been with the team, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.120 he's on the team. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.280 About Rogers trying to leave, Jordan Love asked out, though, 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.600 what do you mean, Like, I mean he wants Cobb 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.160 to come hard to coming. 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.080 He's like, well, well that's that I don't blame him for. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.880 And by the way, Cobb like, if the jets, if 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.760 the jetson signed Cobb, Cobb's career zone right, Marcedes Lewis 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:05.320 career should be over. So that's where we're at. I 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.719 don't you know, I didn't think Rogers made himself look 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:16.720 great on McAfee yesterday. And it's a really weird turn 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:21.480 he's taken over the last few years. I don't totally 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.400 get it. There's some toxic Internet brain part of it. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:31.960 And let's not forget this piece. The entire Aaron Rodgers 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:36.120 heel turn, if you will, started with the misleading the 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:43.520 media about being vaccinated. I'm immunizedment whatever. Okay, his initial 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:48.920 claim there was he was allergic to what the Johnson 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:53.360 and Johnson vaccine. He has since on McAfee talked a 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:58.400 ton about Big Pharma being one of the most evil 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:03.560 entities in the world, cause of mayhem, destruction, pain suffer. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:10.520 The new York Jets are owned by Woody Johnson. I 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.600 understand Johnson is a common last name, but it is 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:18.760 not a coincidence. Woody Johnson is the heir to the 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:26.720 Johnson and Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. So after talking about the 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:31.680 ills of Big Pharma, he now works for Big Pharma 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:36.479 or is about to that. The irony there is unbelievable, 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:41.080 speaking of NFL owners, last names and big companies. Fun fact, 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:46.400 Robert Craft not Craft, Mac and Cheese, Nope, just the 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.560 same name, got his money differently. I always I thought 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.720 for years he was a mac and cheese guy, not 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.600 the mac and cheese guy, believe it or not. 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.800 All right, Next, Yeah, this was supposed to be a 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.720 fast show. How long do we spent on there? 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.960 In twelve minutes? That was a major topic. Yeah, opening monologue. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.920 Speaking of diva quarterbacks, you called it out on Tuesday, 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.880 that and Baker that Baker Mayfield to play for the 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.920 Bucks and he's obviously on the Bucks now. In other words, 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:16.120 Tampa Bay has upgraded from seven times Super Bowl champ 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:18.920 Tom Brady, they stood up pieces to work with. And 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.520 we know how you feel about the Saints, so you 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.080 like Tampa to win the division right. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:28.560 Maybe maybe Caroline's gonna be starting the first overall pick quarterback. 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.760 They're not gonna win the division. Atlanta doesn't know what 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:35.200 they're doing. They now they could go sign Lamar and 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.160 be awesome and be really good, but they don't seem 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.120 to want to do that. I do think it wouldn't 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.760 shock me if the Saints win nine games and win 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.160 the division. I don't think the Saints are, you know, 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.400 locked into being a horrific team. I think they are 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:56.600 locked into not competing for super Bowls. But do what? Where? 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.840 Did Let me check real quick? This is I played 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.600 a trick on Wilds yesterday and kind of boxed him 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.560 in on saying that Baker would be better than Brady. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.680 But here's the point that I want to make here. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.560 Last year, the Tampa Bay Bucks ranked in the NFL 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:22.480 in scoring twenty fifth in scoring. The only teams to 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.760 score fewer points than them were Pittsburgh, the Rams maybe 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.840 twenty six, the Titans, the Jets, Colts, Texans, Broncos. Do 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.080 I think the Tampa Bay Bucks with Baker will average 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.240 more points per game than they did with Tom I 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:43.760 do because that team's offensive line was in shambles in 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.520 a way, it won't be this year. They seem to 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.840 be like Tom wouldn't take any hits. Tom was kind 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.880 of checked out, it seems. So. Do I think they're 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.760 gonna be really good? No? Do I think the offense 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.000 could be better? I do? Next told you we're going fast? 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:02.199 Okay, all right? 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.280 The MAVs are three and nine over their last twelve. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:06.480 Hold on, you gotta update it. 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:09.280 They're four and nine now before over the last thirteen 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.040 because they won an overtime last night against the Spurs. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.280 Yes, they did beats the Yeah, they beats Antonio. But 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.520 Jason Kidd can't coach, and. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.560 Kyrie is already the Kyrie moves already looking like a failure. Wow, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.360 Kyrie messing up another team that you're super investing. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.920 Well, I wasn't super invested in the Nets except for 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:27.800 the season tickets. 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:30.960 But go ahead, Okay, how long until Luca comes on 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:33.479 onto the pod to an Oults he wants out of Dallas? 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.760 All right, what I tell you when they traded for Kyrie, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.800 this is the first domino in Luca leaving Dallas. I 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:46.800 said that. Now, I didn't expect it instantly to go 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.720 this poorly, but Kyrie's you know, missing games, Luca's hurt, 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.800 they could miss the playoffs. I don't think they'll miss 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.400 the playoffs. And because Luca is such a brilliant postseason 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.440 performer second highest points per game in playoff is behind 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.600 only Jordan, they're they're live once they get to the playoffs. 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.560 But talk about a year from hell for a team 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.120 that made the conference finals. They're in the midst of it. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.480 I can't defend my champion pick right now, Dallas Maps. 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.840 I just can't. Let's move on. Told you we're going fast, 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:19.680 Let's move on. I don't want to talk about Wow. 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:23.200 Okay, Well, the Lakers have been on a tear without 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.920 without Lebron until they lost to the Rockets last night. 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:28.680 Has Rockets. 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.119 But you still think they're gonna You still think that 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.400 they're gonna carry him to the playoffs, right, well, I think. 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:34.240 They're gonna make the playoffs. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:35.280 Yeah, all right. 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.000 On TV, you said Lebron will be extraordinary when he 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.199 comes back from what appears to be a hyperbaric chamber. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.679 Yeah, you're gonna show a picture. Yeah Lebron put that 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:44.400 on Instagram. 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.040 Yeah, okay, uh, And then you said the Lakers are 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.920 the most dangerous team in the West. Yeah, So my 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.480 question is, did you lose your mind? Did you go 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:54.960 into some type of hyperbolic chamber or hyperbaric chamber? 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.159 Look at that. That's a cool picture. That's one of 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.920 the reasons to watch on YouTube. So so here's the deal. 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:06.160 Last night's loss is a disaster, and that is the 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:11.479 cost of being overly cautious with Anthony Davis. I just 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.920 want everyone to understand this. Had they won last night, 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.639 first of all, they'd be five hundred for the first time. 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.840 They would be five hundred for the first time all season. 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:24.160 Did the Pelicans win? 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:28.320 The Pelicans didn't play last night, but the but the 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.439 MAVs did win, right, And so right now, the Lakers 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.760 are thirty four and thirty six, which is the tenth seed. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.359 Had they won, they'd be tied for the seventh seat 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.400 with Minnesota and Dallas, and they play Dallas tomorrow. The 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.720 Warriors are thirty six and thirty four, the sixth seed. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.640 So instead of being a game back of the Warriors, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.359 and they have the tiebreaker with the Warriors, they're two 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.760 games back. And they lost to a Rockets team that 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.560 is the worst team in the West. It's just a 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.000 disaster for them. There's no way around it, and they 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.760 don't lose if Anthony Davis plays. With that said, and 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:10.280 here's the other thing that'll say, they're like, oh, we 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.760 want to be cautious with ad. The best thing you 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.280 could give a d is a week off before the playoffs, 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.960 which if you're not in the play in, he gets. 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:21.840 But if you are in the play in, he's got 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:26.320 to instantly play high intensity do or die games. So 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:30.640 there's it's just a bad, bad loss that they didn't 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.680 have to have. With that said, I do think they're 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:37.600 super dangerous the way Anthony Davis is playing Lebron. Lebron 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:42.080 earlier this year missed two weeks. Over the next thirty games, 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.600 after he missed two weeks, he averaged thirty two, eight 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:50.200 and six on fifty two percent shooting. Okay, him having 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:53.600 a month off before the playoffs, you could see a 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.280 brilliant version of Lebron, and the West is wide open. 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:01.399 Phoenix should be the most dangerous team. But let me 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.480 tell you what Phoenix has to be worried about right now. 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.960 Right now, Phoenix is thirty seven and thirty two in 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.440 the four seat. They're not catching Memphis or Sacramento. They're 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:15.359 five losses behind, right, so the four is the best 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.080 they can do. They're thirty seven and thirty two. The 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.720 Clippers are thirty seven and thirty three at the five seats. 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:29.280 So the circumstance of Durant coming back right before the 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.800 playoffs and then instantly being thrown into a series with 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:39.879 the Clippers and Kawhi guarding him, that's a recipe for disaster. 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:41.800 I mean, I guess it's not the playoffs. 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.560 But Lebron did so Katie could do the same thing, 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:46.800 came back average thirty two, eight and six or something. 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.560 No, that's true, No, no, no, that's absolutely true. The 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.080 difference was Lebron wasn't coming back to a team he'd 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.000 never played with. True, so I'm talking, you know what 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.280 I mean, like that three games with him, like the 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.840 lack of continuity, all of that, and so I think 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:08.560 Durant will play really well. But that's a that's a 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.200 tough spot. Phoenix is finding themselves in. That's why I 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:15.200 said the Lakers are the most dangerous. Dallas. I'm sorry, Well, 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:19.080 Dallas is falling apart. Denver's lost four in a row. Memphis, 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:22.640 now we do know Jo is coming back, but we'll 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.480 see how that goes. Sacramento has no experience. The Clippers 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.080 are scary, but Kawhi's a huge health concern, and russ 0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.160 can screw anything up. The Warriors can't win on the road. 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:35.399 Like everything's lining up. 0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:37.600 Everything's like man, I told you fifty to one. 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.520 It's the same thing as the Buccaneers path to the 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.400
